Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Demonic Decedents. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own DMC, Hideki Kamiya, Capcom and a few others do.

(DMC Shop)

Dante found Lady and Seth sitting at a table playing cards, Seth had put Damnation and Vendetta near the table, Lady had put Kalina Ann against the chair as Seth cursed.

"I'm not playing cards with you again, I'm glad we aren't betting." Seth muttered as he turned to Dante.

"She cheats at damn cards." Seth said, Lady rolled her eyes.

"Your brother sucks at cards." Lady said as Seth sighed and turned to fully look at Dante. Dante could see the bad luck at anything involving chance did run in the family.

"You find that flying rat yet? I really want a rematch after he buzzed off." Seth asked, Dante leaned on the chair.

"No… But we have gotten some work… And I thought I'd ask my 2-favorite people…" Dante said, Lady sighed and got up.

"Your only sweet talking me because you still owe me money. There was the time you blew up my bike, then you borrowed money to deal with that one demon." Lady said, Seth sighed and got up as well.

"Lady, let my poor little brother be, he already has to deal with paying for this shop and all that. You have more work for me, Dante? I'll make sure you get 25% back… Just as long as you remember your older brother is taking care of you." Seth joked, Dante rolled his eyes and turned to his desk.

"Well, the job is taking down a few groups of those little buddies that the big bad bat was leading. I'd go and do it… But I'm working on a big case coming up, going to ask for all of us to go." Dante said, Seth turned to Lady.

"This sounds like a one hunter show. You or me could handle this alone." Seth said, Lady grabbed Kalina Ann.

"I'll do it, you both could use the time together. You both need to get used to being brothers." Lady said as Seth watched her leave.

"Half of that is also 'so I can get all the money'." Seth joked, Lady turned and waved and then she was out the door as Seth turned to Dante.

"She really is a wild girl, she cheats at cards, but she can hold her own." Seth said, Dante walked back to his desk as Seth grabbed Damnation and walked over.

"Well, she hasn't changed much since I tangoed with her old man and our other little brother, Vergil." Dante said, Seth frowned at the mention of his younger half-brother's name.

"I feel like I've met Vergil before… Just not sure where." Seth said, Dante frowned, but it vanished as Seth sat down.

"Well, it's the past. I think next mission is going to answer some family questions dear old dad never answered for us though. I also think these demon parades aren't a coincidence." Dante said, Seth leaned back in the chair.

"Wow, took you all this time to figure that out, dear little brother?" Seth asked, Dante shook his head before Seth got serious.

"Your right though, you think Mundus planned on this like Trish said? I wouldn't doubt Mundus wasn't planning an invasion and somehow his army got through while he got the door slammed in his face?" Seth asked, Dante rubbed his chin.

"I don't know, it's a good guess, but we need to know for sure or there will be an entire army of demons marching into our dimension." Dante said, Seth sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Well, I've dealt with a lot of demons over the year, but a full out war is something I doubt I could handle, brother." Seth said, Dante nodded and Seth got up.

"Well, I'm going to handle another of these jobs. I need to get some money and where's there's demonic soldiers, there's a bigger demon leading them." Seth said as he put the revolver on his waist and then he grabbed Vendetta and grabbed it before he went to the door and turned back to Dante.

"Get me when this mission comes up, tell Lady I'd be out, I really don't want to deal with rockets being shot at me." Seth said before he closed the door behind him.

Dante chuckled and leaned back in his chair, smiling.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I also want to point out next chapter will be longer and will start DMC 4. The anime will show up soon, but Seth is going to get his own Devil Arms. Next chapter will be in 2 weeks and will show Trish explaining the mission to the group. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
