I decided to post two chapters today... And by the way… This chapter is the continuation of Chapter 10.
DISCLAIMER: For the 12th or 13th time? LOL. Anyways… I do not own DMC3. All belongs to Capcom. This fanfic's for entertainment and fun only.
Chapter 11: Trio Bonding (Part 2)
The trio arrived at the pizza joint. "We're here! Let's go in!" Lucy said as she was excited and ran ahead.
The trio entered the pizza joint.
"How about a take-out and we'll just eat it at your home?" Vergil suggested. Lucy nodded in agreement and looked at Dante as sat down while reading up at the menu. Lucy giggled. "Hey Dante. What do you like?" Lucy asked him as Dante continuously stares at the menu. "Any pizza would be good BUT no-"; "Olives." Vergil finished the sentence as he sat down on the opposite side of Dante. Dante grinned and rested his elbows at the table. "Okay then… I'll order it up. You want something to drink while waiting?" Lucy asked the two. "I'm good." Vergil smiled. "I'll have a coffee." Dante winked. Lucy smiled, "Okay!"
The teenager went to the counter and ordered up. "2 orders of pizza. Any of your pizza specials will do but without olives please… And a coffee." Lucy paid the bill, grabbed the coffee given to her and sat beside Vergil.
Lucy handed the coffee to Dante. "Here's your coffee Dante." Lucy smiled. Dante smiled at Lucy. "Thanks!" As Dante sips at his coffee without blowing the hot steam off. Lucy was shocked by Dante's actions and telling him, "Did you realize that the coffee was just freshly brewed?" Dante looked up to Lucy and shrugged. "I drink coffee most of the time. It's nothing to me…" Lucy's jaw dropped but closes it again, "O…kay? That's…"
Then something suddenly came to her mind and looked around suspiciously and whispering to Vergil, "By the way guys… Where's your guns? And your swords?", and she looked back and forth again around them to see if few of the people heard her. Vergil looked down at the table. Lucy followed Vergil's line of sight and saw the swords tucked under the table.
Observing the swords, Lucy suddenly thought and sighed. "Jeez.. I forgot my dagger." Vergil and Dante looked at her in surprise. "You know how to use a weapon?" Dante asked with a surprise and wonder. Lucy nodded, "Yep. Dad and Mike secretly taught me self-defense both in hand-to-hand combat and in weapons ever since I turned 13. Teaching self-defense at such a young age is not legal so they taught me in dad's training facility on our backyard. It was their coolest gift ever!" Lucy exclaimed happily then she suddenly frowned and looked down. "It's a shame I didn't used up what I learned from dad and Mike when I got attacked at school. I feel totally useless during those times because I really was shocked at… Those…" Lucy shivered and sighed. Vergil patted her head. "It's not your fault." Vergil smiled at the teenager. Dante, too, smiled at Lucy… "Hey not everyone could act as quickly as they could when it's their first. Trust me." Dante tells her as he chuckled. Lucy raised her eyebrows at Dante then to Vergil. "You were like that too?" Lucy asked in wonder. Vergil glared at Dante coldly and said, "It's a bit more disastrous than yours… Because of this idiot." Dante laughed at Vergil's words. "Oh yeah that was disastrous alright. First punch out and first bloody fight." Dante winked at Vergil. Vergil rolled his eyes adding up, "You almost got killed back then because you keep boasting out your handsome and everything.. Eventually you got grabbed from behind and the demon almost bit you if I weren't around saving your handsome ass." Vergil suddenly smirked. Lucy laughed out loud and holds out to the table for support because she couldn't control her laughter any longer.
Dante scowled at Vergil but suddenly Dante's scowl and glare disappeared when Dante and Vergil looked at Lucy. The two chuckled at the sight of Lucy laughing as if she made the two the happiest men in the world.
"Here's your pizza. Kids." A waiter said handing them two large boxes tied up together in a thin rope. "Without olives… Like you requested…" The waiter glared at Lucy. Lucy blinked at the waiter and hesitantly grabbed the boxes. "Uhmm.. Thanks." Lucy nodded politely.
The waiter glowed its eyes and Lucy furrowed her brows with confusion when suddenly Dante tapped his hand forcefully that an echo sounded out to the entire pizza joint. "Well… Thanks for the pizza. And hey… No checking up on her. You're not on her list of boyfriends." Dante narrowed his eyes dangerously at the waiter. Vergil glared dead-on at the waiter and smiled dangerously. Lucy was shocked by Vergil and Dante's act. With that, the waiter left without another word. "We're all good people.", Dante winked at the few people as he stood up. Lucy, without hesitating, grabbed the two large pizza boxes and stood up following Dante and followed by Vergil, who was behind Lucy, closing the pizza joint's door.
"Let's go. Demons are very active at night." Vergil said as he took the pizza boxes Lucy was holding and grabbed Lucy's left hand and with Dante grabbing Lucy's right hand. Lucy looked both to her sides and smiled. "You don't have to hold my hands. It's not like some demons would appear… Right?" the teenager said positively. "Well what if a demon crashes through those windows?" Dante said jokingly.
Suddenly two figures crashed through the pizza joint's glass windows.
Lucy furrowed her brows and Vergil glared at Dante. Dante shrugged at Vergil. "Right then. That's our cue!" Dante said to both Vergil and Lucy and sighed as he carried Lucy in a princess-style and dashed. "W-wait put me down! I can run!" Lucy struggles but Dante looked seriously at Lucy… "Not this time. Just trust us." Dante said suddenly grinning. Lucy became wide-eyed and nodded as she was speechless.
Lucy looked around as she saw no sign of Vergil. "But wait! Vergil!" Lucy said worriedly. "Right beside you." As Lucy glanced behind her, she saw Vergil dashing behind Dante with ease.
Inhuman voices roared out of the demons chasing after them. Then later four more appeared making a total of six demons chasing after the trio.
"Dante! Vergil! They're getting closer!" Lucy exclaimed as she examined the demons 4 meters away from them. She cannot see their physical forms as the demons are floating and blurry but she saw a scythe the two demons were holding. "Damn! They've got quite the shots into ya! Look at them… They really want a girlfriend that bad? And more of them appeared!" Dante glanced behind him and chuckled wickedly. Lucy frowned at Dante and said, "Has anybody ever told you that you joke too much?"; Lucy yelped as Dante back-flipped in mid air avoiding the scythe as the closest demon to them swung it at the duo. "So I've been told." as Dante grinned.
Lucy was about to reprimand him when the phantom demon was about to grab them. "Hang on!" Dante exclaimed. Lucy followed what she was told as she clung to Dante's shoulder tightly. Dante holds out and supports Lucy with his left arm and grabbed Ivory with his right and leapt in the air. He rotates to his right and aimed. "Sorry. Not her type."; He shot the closest phantom demon.
The demon cried in agony as the demon faded away.
The other demons became furious and charged even more.
"Dante! Watch out! There's more of them!" Lucy shouted. Dante was about to aim when suddenly the demon was slashed into pieces and faded away. Dante put Ivory back behind him and carried Lucy again as he lands swiftly.
Dante looked and raised an eyebrow to Vergil's direction as Vergil lowered down Yamato. "Timing is everything." Vergil said and chuckled. He flicked his coat with style and gripped Yamato as he twirled and stood back-to-back with Dante.
"And where's the pizza?" Dante said to Vergil frowning at him. "Don't be such a moron, moron. The pizza's safe.", Vergil said and giving Dante a hard look. Dante smirked as put Lucy down and grabbed Rebellion at his back. "Lucy... Stand back." Lucy nodded and ran and hid at a tree meters away from the area.
The demon saw her hide and chased her but the demon's head was cut and rolled off on the ground and faded to ashes. "Nah-uh-uh." Dante said as he shook his head mockingly and added, "Are you guys forgetting us?" Dante twirled Rebellion and aimed at the phantom demon in front of him. Vergil gripped the hilt of Yamato and positioned in a battle stance and taunting, "You shall die."
The demons became furious and attacked altogether to the two.
Vergil sighed and twirled Yamato's scabbard sending strong gushes of wind as the demons running up to him staggered backwards due to the force Vergil did. Without hesitating, Vergil charged with Yamato in his right. The phantoms also didn't waste any second as they also make haste to their target and swung their scythes at the blue-coated lad. He leapt and flipped stylishly in the air as he was dodging the swinging scythes that was brought upon him. "So... Want to play swing and hack huh..." Vergil said as he lands swiftly with the demons on his back. A blood scarred through his cheek and as he wiped the blood, his wounds closed up in a fast rate. "Well then." Vergil beckons the 3 demons with his palm ushering them to come at him and raising an eyebrow at them. "I won't make this game too long."
Dante brought up Rebellion and both the scythes and Rebellion clashed. "Hah! Your strong than I thought. Alright then..." As Dante untangles his Rebellion to the 3 demons he's up against with their scythes and he twirled Rebellion and rested it on his right shoulder. "Give me some lovin' boys! Giddy up!" Dante taunts them even more.
The demons hissed angrily at the red lad with one of the demons saying, "We only want that girl." Then the other added up, "Then everything will go smoothly.." Dante chuckled and shaking his head mockingly, "Sorry... I don't do smooth. I like it rough!"
The 3 demons laughed and one of them said, "Then you shall meet your death!" And they all charged. Dante grinned and threw Rebellion at them. The three dodged the Rebellion and all laughed. "Now you're dead!" They said all together. Dante bumped his fists together and charged. Dante leapt and kicked the demon in the middle and as he lands, he grabbed the two scythes with the two wielders being dragged and threw them on opposite directions. Dante rubbed his hands as if rubbing of the dirt and raised his arm and in a swish... Rebellion's already in his hand and mockingly said, "Who says I can't fight without my weapon?" Dante took a glance at Vergil and saw flashes of light.
He's almost done. Dante thought to himself with impression though he wouldn't admit this to his elder twin. The flashes of light soon faded as Dante saw Vergil staring down and pointing the tip of Yamato to its chest.
"Surrender the girl to us! Our master... H-he's strong! He'll give you more power and to your brother too if you give her to us!" the demons says begging for its life and being the only one left alive and is defenceless. "Nice of you to try but I don't do negotiations." Vergil said coldly as he slit the demon's chest.
"NO! Y-You'll regret-" The demon unable to finish his sentence as it died and faded away.
Our sister is not for sale. Vergil thought as his grip tightened to the hilt of Yamato.
"Hey bro! How ya holding up?" Dante shouting at Vergil. Vergil looked up to Dante and scowled. "Don't underestimate your enemies Dante." Vergil pointed behind Dante.
The demons Dante fought up finally awoke. Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory from its holster and aimed to the 3 demons in front of him. The demons hissed and charged. "Good morning sleeping beauties!" Dante said as he shoots the demons.
With that, the demons faded away into ashes.
"That was easy." Dante said jokingly and shrugged.
Alright! They got them! Lucy thought and was about to come out of her hiding spot when she sensed something behind her and she was grabbed. Two more phantom demons showed up and grabbed her shoulders while the other pointed the scythe to her throat.
"Do not move or you're gonna get it." The phantom demon threateningly said to her.
Remember your training Lucy! Get a hold of yourself! Lucy thought and inhaled. With her courage mustered up, she kicked the demon holding her shoulders in a backward stance. Grabbing the opportunity, she back-flipped avoiding the demon's scythe. She landed hard on the demon's face that she kicked before making it unconscious. She landed with her right leg propped up and the left kneeling. "I may be human but that doesn't mean that I can't defend myself." Lucy stood up and readied herself as she exhaled. She's been holding her breath as she was nervous.
The demon hissed angrily at her, "You whore..." Lucy furrowed her brows, "Go ahead ugly! I'm not afraid of you!"
The demon was about to get her when a black scabbard came flying through. Lucy ran up to a tree and holding out to the strong branch for cover. The scabbard was well enough to distract the phantom demon as it faced the two men.
"Hey!" Dante said angrily as he aimed Ebony and Ivory to the demon. Vergil pointed Yamato to the demon with his right and caught the scabbard with ease on his left. "Leave. Her. Alone." Vergil said as he threatens the demon. Lucy jumped down from the branch and is gonna run when more phantom demons appeared from the bushes.
"Get the girl!" The phantom demon who was left undefeated said. The two demons glared at Lucy and charged. Dang! I'm trapped! Lucy thought and cursed as she readied herself.
"Lucy!" Dante shouting to the girl. Dante leapt up as he avoided a phantom demon and threw Ivory to her direction and exclaiming, "Heads up!"
Lucy wasted no time and reacted quickly. She dodged, flipped sideward and forward and leapt for a tree as a support and jumped. She caught Ivory with her left by air and stomped on the phantom demon hard as it was below her before she landed. She stood up twirling Ivory and aimed to the phantom demons.
"Don't underestimate a human." Lucy said in a cold manner as she fired multiples times to the phantom demons even the demons Dante and Vergil were up against.
"That was easy.." Dante shrugged and Vergil glanced around telling with a disapproving tone, "Not really…"
The field is now full of ashes and damages. Trees were either grazed with holes due to the bullets or were sliced down, soil and grass scattered everywhere, cemented pathways cracked with scratches and holes, lamp posts were busted down and other heavy damages.
Lucy sighed holding Ivory to her left. She glanced everywhere and was taken aback.
"H-hy...brid... W-whore." a phantom demon said to her right side who now lay on the ground in its weak state.
Lucy furrowed her brows and tossed Ivory to her right hand and aimed to its head. "Bang." Lucy taunts and with that, she shoots the demon. The demon instantly faded away. Lucy is breathing heavily and falls to her knees in exhaustion. Dante and Vergil ran up to her with worried looks.
"Are you alright?!" Vergil exclaimed as he put his arm around Lucy. "I'm okay guys. Though I can't feel my legs right now but still... I'm fine." Lucy smiled in reassurance and looks to Dante. She brought up Ivory to him and nodded in gratitude, "Here. Thanks for letting me borrow your gun." Dante took Ivory and holstered it behind him and smiled to Lucy.
"Here..." Dante offered up his arms. "Need a lift?" Dante winked at her. "Aren't you tired?!" Lucy exclaimed with a surprise. Dante chuckled and bumped his fist on his chest, "We're as healthy as a horse!" Lucy smiled politely at Dante. "Sorry." Lucy apologized as she doesn't want to be a bothersome, she doesn't have a choice but to be carried as she couldn't feel her legs right now. Lucy clutched up to Dante as he scooped her up in him arms.
"Let's get out of here before the homeland security arrive." Vergil said as he sheathed Yamato back to his scabbard. "And where is the pizza?!" Dante exclaimed frowning to his brother.
Vergil grinned and Lucy giggled telling, "Let's just hurry up guys." as she patted Dante's shoulder. Dante raised an eyebrow at both of them.
Finally… The trio arrived inside the gates safe and sound.
Dante brought Lucy down inside the gate. "Are you okay kiddo?" Dante asked worriedly. Lucy nodded with a smile. "Yeah! Better. Thanks for saving me… Again." Lucy smiled sweetly and with gratitude. Dante patted her head. "You sure did a heck of a stunt out there." Dante winked. "Yes. Your training have taken its effect already.", Vergil said as rest his hand on Lucy's shoulder.
Lucy flushed a bit and scratched her temple in embarrassment. "W-well... I couldn't have done it without you guys around. Thanks to your gun Dante and your scabbard Vergil.", she said as she looks at them in embarrassment. "That's nothing... We'll do anything to protect you." Vergil said as he smiled to Lucy. "Yep! Besides... We're your bro- I mean bodyguards... We're your bodyguards after all." Lucy raised her eyebrows to Dante as he rubbed his forehead and looking away.
Brothers you mean? Lucy thought as she giggled and looks at them. "What?" Dante and Vergil said in unison. They glared at each other for they hated it when they use to say something in unison. Lucy shook her head and tried her best to hold back her laugh with a smile saying, "No it's nothing guys. I think your cute like that." Dante raised an eyebrow saying, "And by cute you mean hot?" Dante chuckled teasingly and Lucy groaned.
"Well. Let's go inside before the pizza gets cold. Right, Dante?" Vergil said narrowing his eyes as and glared at him with a stop-being-a-moron look as he opened the door. Dante frowned at his brother and Lucy giggled.
Well... I wish you really are my brothers. Lucy thought as she smiled to her thoughts.
Dante and Lucy walked side by side to go inside the mansion. Vergil handed the pizza to Lucy as she went on ahead.
Dante stopped beside Vergil.
"You noticed it earlier?" Dante said with a grin as he stares up ahead. Vergil nodded to Dante. "I guess Cecil left without leaving us unprotected." Both looks ahead as they saw a flicker of silver light from the very top to the bottom and around the mansion. "A barrier. Not bad for an Eidolon demon." Dante grinned. Vergil smiled and chuckled.
"Hey! Are you guys gonna stand there like freakin' statues? Pizza's hot and fresh. Dig in!" as Lucy exclaimed teasingly from the kitchen.
Dante frowned at Vergil and gave him a death stare. Vergil rolled his eyes at Dante and telling, "It was safe Dante. If I brought the pizza with me... Then it was damaged as well." Dante scowled at Vergil, "I can't believe you put it inside the mailbox and you even sliced the mailbox in half. That was very wise of you bro." Dante said.
Lucy heard the commotion and giggled. "Oh come on Dante! Don't be too hard. The mailbox was empty and the pizza's okay. Actually it's still hot and fresh!" With Lucy's words, Dante chuckled and went inside, "Chow time! Pizza here I come!". Vergil shook his head, "He can be a pain in the ass sometimes... Oh wait no. Every time." Vergil corrected himself and Lucy laughed by his words. "Oh come on now! Let's go inside before he swallows down all the pizza!" Lucy ran back inside and Vergil glanced one more time at the barrier and went inside closing the mansion door.
Meters away from a mansion, a hooded-person is staring at mansion with a cell phone in its ear. "The girl is accompanied with the sons of Sparda. What's the verdict?" The hooded-person nodded. "The demons we sent were killed by the sons of Sparda." The hooded person nodded with 'mmhmms'… Suddenly the hooded person looked at the mansion again… "Okay. Got it." The person ends the phone call and walks away in the darkness. I will come for you… The hooded person thought as darkness covers the mysterious person away.
