A demon Red head and The animal X-Man.
Lucia: also known as Χ or Chi, is a secretary demon created by Arius. Lucia's history began years ago when she lured Dante to her island so that Matier, her mother, may ask him to help them to defeat Arius, a sorcerer millionaire who plots to merge with Argosax (and take over the world. Matier asks Dante to help Lucia to find the remaining parts of the Arcanas, the four ancient, sacred relics used to seal Argosax away from this world and the artifacts which Arius is so desires for. Dante accepts, and he and Lucia start their quests separately.
Much later, Lucia meets Arius. Arius reveals that she is actually a mannequin, like the Secretaries, and was created by him. He says that she was a "defect" and so was about to be disposed of when Matier found her. He also tells her that a mark on her left shoulder - "X" (Chi) (pronounced "Kai") - is actually her real name. Then he demands that Lucia gives him the Arcanas that she have already found. After she angrily rejects, he says that "the world is already warped" and that "everything that belongs to the devils will eventually revert to its original form", including Lucia, and leaves her, uncertain about her own future.
Despite this, Lucia continues her mission to find all the remaining parts of the Arcanas. When she gathers them all, she gives Arcana to Dante, asking him to bring them to Matier for her. After that, she leaves to finish Arius by herself, but is unsuccessful and gets captured. Later Dante comes to rescue her, and gives out all the Arcanas despite Lucia's protests. After Arius and Dante fight, the sorcerer uses his hostage to pull them both out of the building. However, Dante transforms into a devil and they fly to safety. Lucia then asks him why he saved her to which he replies that "every hero has a weakness". There she also meets with Matier, who confirms that they are not tied by blood, but also says that their ties are bound by history and experience, which are much deeper then blood. Then after Lucia thanked her mother for the truth and love, she goes after Dante.
Lucia and Dante manage to enter the Uroboros Corporation's skyscraper building again, just to see that the sun has completely eclipsed and that the ritual cannot be stopped. After something in it goes wrong, it is revealed that Dante had switched the Medaglia coin with his own. Dante attacks the distracted Arius and defeats him. Watching this seemingly end, Lucia attacks Dante and asks him to kill her. She tells him about her doubts and then asks him to kill her again. Before Dante can decide anything, the door to the Demon World opens, even though the ritual was incomplete. Lucia says that she will go because she is "expendable", to which Dante suggests to leave it to fate. After heads fall once again, he takes a motorcycle and enters the Demon World. After Dante leaves, Arius, now completely turned into a vengeful undead monster, rises out of hellfire from the ruins of the building that had been the giant, Nefasturris, but Lucia puts this twisted abomination to rest. Shortly after, she is seen near the closed portal between the four separate Uroboros skyscrapers, waiting for Dante. Matier is also here, and comforts her, saying that should not worry as "everything is just as it was with Sparda". Lucia then gets the coin Dante gave to her and reveals that both sides are heads.
Much later, Lucia is shown waiting in Dante's shop, flipping his coin continuously. She then hears a motorcycle outside the shop and goes out running.
She has been laying low ever since but now, she needs to enter the fray again to stop a new threat. And she needed more allies for that. And she found a man who's power and skills were well known.
That man, was James "Logan" Howlett, The Wolverine. A long-lived mutant with the rage of a beast and the soul of a Samurai.
The man who would be known as the superhero named Wolverine was born as James Howlett Hudson in the mid 1880s in Alberta, Canada. He was the second and sickly child to Elizabeth and John Howlett Sr. His mother was ill and, in the early 1900s, a young Irish girl named Rose O'Hara was brought to the Howlett estate to be a friend and a caretaker to young James. Together they befriended a young boy named Dog, son of the grounds keeper, Thomas Logan. Dog tried to form a normal bond between the two, but due to his father's resentment and drunken abuse, he grew to resent his station in life; so much so that one day he makes undue advances on Rose, which are reported by young James to his father. This whole chain of events leads to Thomas Logan being sacked from his position as groundskeeper, following which he goes seeking for Elizabeth Howlett, trying to convince her to leave with him.
This leads to an altercation that results in the death of John Howlett. The shock of seeing his father murdered in front of him leads to the manifestation of young James' powers and he stabs Thomas with his newly drawn claws, also slashing Dog across the face before fainting. He and Rose flee the house and make their way through the harsh Canadian wilderness with James near-catatonic and Rose having to facilitate their transportation, while Dog tells the police that Rose was the killer.
They arrive at a mine where Rose gives false names, calling James incorrectly as "Logan." The other workers dub the revived Logan "the wolverine" because of his penchant for tenaciously digging and begin to accept him as one of their own due to his incredible work ethic. What they don't know is that by night, he runs in the wild with a pack of wolves that he is cowed the alpha of. Dog arrives one day, having survived his encounter years ago, still holding a massive grudge against Logan. Logan recognizes his erstwhile friend and accepts his challenge to a brawl to the death. Before Logan can kill Dog, however, Rose tries to pull him away and is inadvertently stabbed through the chest, killing her and leaving Logan to mourn alone.
In 1910, Logan traveled to another frontier community in the Canadian Rockies and met a young Blackfoot woman named Silver Fox, with whom he falls in love. She reciprocates, and the two share a cabin together in the woods and live happily for a time. In late May, when Logan believed his birthday to be, Sabretooth tracks and murders Silver Fox after seeing her and Wolverine together, envious that Logan had found a measure of peace. Upon discovering the gruesome scene, Wolverine flew into a rage and battles Sabretooth, but couldn't best his counterpart, who was able to keep his cool.
Sabretooth and a mysterious cloaked figure then manipulated the feral, mindless Logan to slaughter the inhabitants of the town he had been living in at the time.
Later, employed by The Hudson's Bay Company as a fur trader to the Blackfoot Indians, he defeated the demonic snake-worm known as Uncegila, a feat which earned him the Blackfoot warrior name of "Skunk-Bear." A broad, largely unseen conspiracy then began to shape Logan, robbed of his conscience and free will, into the perfect killer. Wherever Logan went, Sabretooth or one of his handlers, was not far behind.
Logan had been in many different adventures in his century long life, being a part of many super hero teams. But right now he is like a part time member of the X-Men, dropping bye whenever he feels like it.
Lucia walked up to Logan who was drinking in a bar "Are you Wolverine?".
Logan set down his drink "And who may you be sweetheart?".
"I am Lucia, a demon hunter of the Vie de Marli's Clan. And I am searching for a warrior to aid me against a great evil. I belive you could be that warrior" Lucia said.
Logan looked at her "I have delt with dimonic crap before. What is this great evil you talk about?".
"Follow me and I shall tell you" Lucia said as she walked out of the bar. Logan was a little suspicious but followed her anyway.
Soon they reached a open area that looked more like a wasteland. Logan looked around, there was not a single person around for as far as the eyes could see. His gut feeling was becoming true.
"Ok darling, just what is this abo-" Before he could finish, Lucia threw a knife aimed at his head. Logan tipped his head to the side, the knife still cutting his cheek but the wound quickly healed "A trap, I knew it!".
"I have heard you can't be killed. I wish you test your abilities for myself" Lucia said as she took out her two trusty swords.
Logan took out his claws "Very well then. I always had a thing for red heads anyway".
The fight began.
Wolverine raced forward, and brought down his claws, only for the demon hunter to, seemingly, disappear. Before Wolverine could even process this, Lucia appeared behind Wolverine, and sliced in an upwards motion. This got Wolverine to slip off of his feet, and left him open for Lucia to do a few quick slashes.
Wolverie hit the floor, and pushed himself up. Lucia noticed that all of the cuts from her attacks were seemingly gone. This Wolverine must be healing very fast after all. Even to wounds like that.
Lucia then felt Wolverine's claws, acting as a jab, knock her back when she tried to block them, then she looks up to see Wolverine attempt a slice her, only for her to move left, avoiding the attack, Wolverine then looked in her direction. Lucia threw more of her knives, but Logan just blocked them with his claws and charged back in.
Unfortunately for him, a sword went through his midsection. Lucia then kicked Logan in to the air, jumped after him, ramming both her blades in to his back and began spinning in the air before throwing him head first in to the gorund.
Lucia landed on the ground like a cat and looked at Logan who was standing back up. This man was far more durable then he looked. But Lucia knew she was fast-
*SLASH*
But she didn't think fast enough to avoid a slash across the face. A small cut was left, but not much damage was done, as Wolverine was at a distance. Wolverine jumped at her with impressive speed, claws extended, but Lucia ducked in time and used her foot to kick the clawed mutant over herself, sending him in to a nearby rock.
"Maybe you are not the warrior the legends spoke of after all" Lucia said and was losing interest in the battle.
But then Logan charged back in, surprising Lucia as she was kicked in the chest, and then got hit in the face by Logan's hard elbow. The hit sent her sliding back, she touched her lip... it was bleeding now. She gasped as she barely managed to dodge a slash from Logan's claws and had to jump back to gather herself.
Logan jumped across the landscape, and was about to bring his claws down, only for Lucia to jump around him and drop-kicked him into the ground. Logan got back up and Lucia landed infront of him, and the two looked at each other. The two slowly circled around, like a wild west showdown.
"You are good darling. But I am done going easy on you" Logan said with a bloody smile.
"Yes! Show me what you can really do!" Lucia said as she was now the first one to attack.
Lucia thrusted her blades out, only for them to be cought between Logan's claws. Loga moved the blades out of the way and headbutted Lucia in the face. The impact sent Lucia rolling across the ground, she slowly sat up, holding her head in pain. It felt like she had slamed her head against a metal wall.
She got back up to continue the fight. She avoided Logan's stab and rammed her blade through his arm and then got behind him before ramming her her other blade in to his back. But what she got in respons, was Logan's elbow to her jaw, making her stumble back, pulling out her blades as she did.
Lucia and began began fencing with their weapons. Lucia went for a swift slash, that one was blocked by Logan's claws. They went back and forward before Logan managed to time his attack right and stabbed Lucia in the shoulder. The red head let out a cry of pain backing away when Logan pulled out his claws.
She was holding her now bleeding shoulder before looking at Logan who seemed to have calmed down a little "The fight is over darling. I won".
"I am not finished just yet!" Lucia said before she suddenly entered her devil trigger.
Logan was caught off guard by this but did not have time to react before Lucia attacked with even greater speed than before. After being tossed him in the air, Logan was met with multiple slashes at the same time, some were split between 1 mere second. Once Lucia was done with the slashing part, he was ready to end this fight right here and now. Let's see if this Wolverine, can withstand her full power. Logan was still in the air for a second, and Lucia brought down with her now devil powered blades aimed right for Logan's chest.
Logan's eyes snapped open and he brought up his claws and then both crashed in to the ground. When the dust cleared, Lucia got the chance to analyse the situation. She had succeeded in stabbing Logan through the chest... but when she looked down, he had managed to stab through her as well.
Lucia fell of him and landed on her back, he devil trigger wearing of and her regeneration was working overtime to heal the wound.
"You.. really are... the warrior... I was... looking for" Lucia managed to breath out.
"Now that the dance is done. What is this evil you wanted my help to stop?" Logan asked while sitting up.
"The evil is of another world. A powerful being is planing to invade the human relm. You need to be ready to face it when he arrives" Lucia explained as she stood up.
Logan got up as well "And who might this guy be?".
Lucia turns around "I know not his name. All I know is that he has a flaming head and rules his dimension".
With that, Lucia jumped off a cliff and left. Logan watched her go. He wondered who this evil she spoke of could be. But he had a feeling this had something to do with magic...
Dark magic.
