Code 11 Dominions

"You should take some time to understand everyone here Dante, trust me I wager you will find it very entertaining."

Dante recalled Sparda's words as he had returned to the mansion. Sparda went out again on some personal matters.

Dante had remained in the hallway for a while trying to think of everything he had learned. There was more to this Dante than he had wanted to believe or maybe it was the reason he had continued to ask, to know the truth. He had asked but it did not make him feel any better.

He had decided to talk to Vergil. There were some things only he could answer, and he needed to get his body back to its correct age. He was going down the grand stairs when he saw Mary arguing with someone over the phone.

"Mary!?" Dante had walked towards the commotion. "What are you doing here?" She had changed cloths to what looked like a school uniform. She turned giving him her attention and her eyes went wide. Apparently she was not expecting him in the mansion; she ended the call so he could not know who she spoke too.

"None of your business." She walked pass him but he held her by the wrist. "Let go!" She snapped at him.

"Hey, cut it out with the attitude Mary, I'm just concerned as to why you're in a demon lord's house? Please don't tell me you're going to pick a fight with Sparda."

"I'll ask you if I need counseling from a demon." She argued. "and by the way I live here you dimwit."

"Half demon actually." Dante said smirking then grasped at what Mary had just said. "What!?"

"Oh shut up." Mary was annoyed.

"How can you hate Tony so much and still live in his house." Mary stared at him weirdly then seemed to understand who he meant and rolled her eyes. "What?" Dante asked seen her attitude.

"Tony Redgrave." She whispered. "Do you know you used that name so I wouldn't find you?"

"Smart." He smirked.

"Not when your own guns have it engraved on it." She glared at Dante as she walked closer. "And I live here because of my father's work; trust me I have tried to get away from here. What are you up to anyways?"

"I was on my way to see Vergil; I got some unfinished business with him."

"So you finally met the other Sparda." She was not very surprised. "I hope you realize Vergil is not going to take your side, he is more his father than you ever were."

"I know."

"And you can change your plans; Vergil is not in the tower." Mary turned around.

"What? How do you know?"

"Because I was just there looking for him and Cerberus told me he was away."

"Maybe you missed him."

"Hardly, besides Cerberus would have send word."

"You work for Verge?" Dante asked worried.

"No." Mary saw the look in his face. "Why?"

"It's just odd, to see you two together." Dante looked at her realizing something. "Wait, you guys aren't together right!?"

"OF COURSE NOT!" Mary yelled angrily. "What in hell made you think THAT!?"

"Just making sure since you didn't try to kill each other in this dimension." Dante tried to calm her.

"My personal vendetta is with Dante not Vergil, but we have crossed each other enough times in the past." She glared at Dante. "…Sparda stopped the last one." She mentioned upset.

"That bad?" He questioned intrigued.

"Things escalated to a level of mass destruction very fast." Mary started to go up the stairs when she stopped and turned back to Dante. "…Why Lady?"

It took Dante by surprise but he didn't let it show as he realized what she was asking.

"That's what I called you since you never gave me your name, you kept it afterwards." He changed tactics. "Hey why were you going to see Vergil?"

"Just because, don't you know the word privacy." She noticed he wanted to tell her something but was trying to control himself. "You're up to something."

She smiled, but it did not reach his eyes. He had decided on going his own path.

"Changed of plans, I'm going to his dominion."

"What did you just say?" Mary asked hoping she had heard wrong.

"I said I want to go to Mallet Island." Dante repeated as he played with his snow hair.

"Why would you want to go to that forsaken island?"

"Because I want to know more."

"About? I've been answering your questions, what else are you after?" Mary looked nervous something about the island was making her lose her cool.

"The truth." He looked at Mary, his eyes distant and thoughtful. "I want to find out what really happened to him."

"Why can't you just believe what you're told?"

"Because who better to know than me?" He whispered. "You don't have to follow me Mary you can stay and ask Verge about that night." He hit were he wanted to.

"What are you talking about?" Mary seemed upset and taken by surprised by Dante's comment. "I would never ask that monster anything."

"Well then I'm a monster too since we are twins."

"He is not your brother."

"I'm still a demon." He argues but Mary's eyes flared.

"A demon who I work with and I trust in the other dimension." Mary moved into Dante's eyesight. "A demon who I consider a friend." Her eyes were determent, her will unbreakable. Dante knew she had been thinking about what he told her.

"So you're ok with me but not the other; because of what I told you or something else?" He was intrigued to know what she was thinking, he knew Lady and her games but Mary was all Lady had tried not to be.

"I'm going with you to Mallet island Dante and that's final." She had leaned towards his face so he could see her clear and up close.

"Why do I get the feeling you only want to go because you want to stop me from finding something out." If his words had hit a mark she did not show it and he got tired of playing around. Time waited for no one. "Whatever Mary." He said looking distant. "Vergil will get angry at you for helping me."

"When did we give you the idea that we care for each other?"

"I know this Vergil does not enjoy my company much…"

"What are you talking about?" Mary seemed confused.

"He just wants to kill me as badly as ever." He told her as he saw Mary take out her cell phone. "Hey what are you up to?"

"I'm going to check were that damn island is, you do know it moves constantly right?"

"Yeah but who are… never mind." He said rolling his eyes as he heard Mary talking over in a strange dialect for a moment then started talking normally. "Was that demon language?" Mary never stopped surprising him. She hushed him as she ended the conversation glaring at him.

"Yes it's a code for when I talk with any of Vergil's demons." She smirked. "By the way, you know that if you go to Mallet Island Vergil will get upset and cancel whatever deal you two had."

Dante rolled his eyes, he was never hopeful in the first place. "Why do they call Vergil prince?" He asked remembering Cerberus words when he first met his twin. Mary made a notion for him to follow her outside.

"You do realized that when Sparda defeated Mundus he became the new emperor right?" She said casually, but Dante stopped eyes wide as she turned to look at him noticing the silence. "You didn't realize… why I am not surprise?"

Dante had thought of it, but it was never something to have in mind when everything else was happening yet it should have been obvious.

"That would make his twin sons some sort of princes, but you never enjoyed the title. Vergil just kept saying he was not interested in a title sported by a disgrace such as Mundus." At that she smiled as if the memory made her happy.

"Sounds like him, what about Sparda I never thought of him enjoying the spotlight like that."

"He didn't. He ruled for a while just to keep the peace and the demons in place. Then he just disappeared for a while after locking the demon world from the human world. Years later he met Eva and well you know the rest."

"I'm guessing Mundus's generals were spared by Sparda and they repay him by going after his family." Dante spoke as he reached the entrance. "Is he always at the tower?"

Mary went outside towards the garage as she answered knowing who he spoke of. "Most of the time, but that was after you disappeared, before that he spent most of his time at the mansion." Mary told him as Dante began to think. Vergil had been affected by his death more than he thought, or maybe it had something to do with Sparda.

"What are you getting?"

"You expect me to go without weapons? Thanks to you Kalina Ann is been repaired, but lucky for me I had made a smaller version." Mary winked as she opened a chest, inside was a smaller version of Kalina Ann. To Dante it looked like a prototype.

"You still mad?"

"I'm trying not to kill you before I get pay." She glared at him.

"I thought you liked me."

"Don't get weird ideas, I just…" She fell silent as she packed all her weapons and dragged a motorbike hidden in a corner.

"So you know where to go right?"

"First we wait on the docks but before that…" She looked at him up and down.

"See something you like babe?" He winked at her. "I know I can be…"

"You need to change cloths and hair."

"Excuse me?"

"I don't want surprises, most demons think your dead, if they see you now..."

"They already know, who wouldn't with all that commotion I did when I got here."

"Vergil and Sparda took care of that."

"How?"

"You don't want to know, just do it; besides it won't last long once you go demon, your hair will go back to normal." She argued.

"I hate this idea."

"Not as much as I hate yours so work it." She pointed to the small room in the garage. "I'll give you what you need just wait."

After almost an hour Dante was sure he was going to lose it, Mary had dyed his hair black and had giving him a different color coat. The worst part was when she came back with a sealed heavy box; he stared at her in question.

"What is that?" She didn't look at him. "I know I'm not going to like it but I still want to know, tell me."

"You can't take Rebellion Dante."

He towered over her.

"What did you say babe?"

"I'm sorry but everyone knows Rebellion belongs to Dante it's your trademark sword."

"I can hide it." He argue glaring.

"I'm not willing to risk it." She looked up at him.

"Mary if you're too scared you can stay, but I don't care if any of them find out so screw all of this."

"You won't even make it half way. Dante, try to understand that you don't know how the Sparda's work, you have the name but not the discipline and they won't tolerate that."

"What's so wrong with trying to go to Mallet Island? What are they hiding?" She flinched for a moment and Dante knew he had gotten what he wanted.

"I'm trying to help you."

"Why? You don't owe me anything." Mary remained silent, her anger already getting the best of her. Dante took a deep breath and cooled off. "Fine, let's do it your way then, but this better be good."

"I got you a weapon." she opened the box and Dante glared.

"You're kidding."

"What wrong with my choice?"

"Agni &Rudra…" He pointed out. "this was your choice?"

"Yeah, hey be thankful I got you a weapon, besides your weapons are still on Mallet Island."

"Gin has Alastor!" He yelled. "That should be mine."

"It was until you gave it to him." Mary said taking the Scimitars out.

"I gave Alastor to him?"

"Look we don't have time for this just take them, you already know how to handle them well and they won't talk."

"How did you even get them from Temen-ni-gru?"

"…Nevan." She answered.

"She was the demon you were talking to earlier wasn't she?"

"She has the most brains, now shut up and get ready."

She knew he was displeased but didn't waiver, they didn't talk while they walked towards a small plane. They had arrived to the docks were Mary talked over with some people trying to get a clear on the flight. As Mary had said, no one realized who he was.

"You do realize I can get there easy by flying right?"

"You do realize you would spend unnecessary energy on flying right? You're devil trigger would be spend so when you'll need it you won't have it."

"Will I need my devil trigger?"

"Do you even realize where we are going?"

"Mallet Island."

"It used to be Mundu's and also his generals are still there, they won't be happy about you showing up."

"Can I ask why so much trouble over my appearance when everyone knows I'm around?"

"This way no word will reach Sparda or Vergil's ears about us, also I already told you they covered up your mess." Dante stared at Mary waiting for the answer, she rolled her eyes. "Vergil." Dante's eyes went wide; he can never perceive the other twin playing dress up.

"Vergil…? Angry guy, hate humans and everything around him? Vergil dressed up as me?"

"It worked."

"Please tell me you have pictures."

"Dante, why are you having trouble believing this?"

"Because Vergil would never do something that would damage his pride."

"…" Mary remained silent; she believed something had gone wrong during the reunion of the twins. "The Vergil I know almost killed me for attacking his brother." She opened the door of the plane as she looked back at him. "He went against Sparda's orders when it concerned Dante and even killed in the name of family." She watched Dante closely waiting for a reaction but he remained stern and quiet. "Anyway get on, we have till midnight to get there or we will miss it."

Dante remained just as quiet as he got inside the small plane; he looked at it reminiscing about an old memory.

"Hey Mary, have you ever met anyone by the name of Trish?" He only asked out of curiosity but he had no hope knowing the events would had changed her birth"

"No, never heard of her why? Friend of yours? She asked starting the plane.

"Yeah."

They both kept silent as they moved to the sky towards the cursed island.
