Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Demonic Decedents. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own DMC, Hideki Kamiya, Capcom and a few others do.

(Fortuna)

Lady stopped her motorcycle on a dirt path as Seth and her climbed off.

"Well, this is the place." Lady said as Seth twirled Damnation on his hand as he and her started walking into the forest.

"You know we're walking into the midst of a Demonic army." Seth stated, Lady nodded and smirked.

"Why, you scared?" She teased as Seth chuckled in amusement while resting a hand on Vendetta. He cracked his neck and looked around.

"Me? I think you forgot what we dealt with a week ago and who I'm related to." Seth stated, he continued walking and he quickly fired Damnation.

A hooded Demon that had a massive scythe on its hand fell to the ground and didn't get up.

Then more of them began swarming Seth and Lady as they formed a circle around the duo.

"Well, seems like they formed quite a greeting party, huh?" Seth asked, Lady grabbed Kalina Ann and faced her side of the horde. Seth drew Vendetta and faced his half of the horde, he chuckled and watched over a dozen demons lunge at him, scythes ready to cut his head off.

He parried all of the scythes, sparks flying into the air as Seth batted them away with the flat of the blade, sending them flying into the air. Lady fired a rocket into the middle of the horde, they went flying as another swung at her head.

Lady flipped away and then she parried another swing at her head as Seth flipped one of the demons to the head and shot him in the head, he turned and shot 2 more which charged him.

He few one of them manage to slash him on the cheek and another knocked him off his feet. Seth twisted as he flew through the air and shooting 2 more of the Scarecrow like Demons.

"Seth!" Lady yelled as she fired a barrage of mini-missiles which sent the Scarecrow like demons flying into the air.

Seth slid back and chuckled in amusement and then he looked around at the smoke.

"I'm good, just caught me off guard… Seems these are some of those demonic soldiers Trish heard from around here." Seth stated, Lady nodded and helped Seth up. He looked at the castle in the distance and looked into the forest and then he sighed.

"We should be heading deeper into the forest. We're find whatever we're looking for there." Seth stated; Lady cocked his head at him.

"How do you know?" Lady asked, Seth turned to look at her and leaned on Vendetta.

"I don't know, I just have a hunch… Maybe I can sense something, I can't say for sure." Seth put in as Lady nodded and followed Seth further into the forest.

Both continued walking, Seth absentmindedly twirled Damnation on his finger and looked at her as they walked into the forest.

"You think Dante is ok? I don't like this quiet, there's nothing but wind whipping through this forest." Seth asked, he wasn't scared, but the quiet like this wasn't what he was used to.

"I know he's fine, he's dealt with stuff like this all the time… I met him during one of his first missions." Lady stated, he turned to look at her.

"You hunted demons when you were a kid? I guess we weren't too far apart." Seth said, Lady frowned, she hadn't told him what happened to her father. She knew what happened to his father and the fact that he was dead, half the world knew Sparda was dead.

"Yeah, I guess we are… We should move faster, we're falling behind." Lady put in, Seth nodded and both continued rushing into the forest. He felt more Scarecrows preparing to leapt down to ambush him and Lady. Another 2-dozen leapt down and rushed him.

"They don't give up, do they?" Lady asked as she drew her pistols from her belt and began firing as did Seth. 4 Scarecrows fell dead to the ground and the rest of the horde continued pushing him and Lady into the forest. Seth broke off a branch and tossed it through the head of a charging Scarecrow.

Another Scarecrow leapt at them and Lady put it down with a single shot to the head before Seth was slammed into a tree by 3 Scarecrows. Lady wanted to help him, but she was being driven back by the number of Scarecrows. Seth kicked one of the scythes out of his chest and then slashed the head off the Scarecrow in question and then climbed up the tree.

"Lady, you good?" Seth asked as he fired into the horde of Scarecrows and then leapt into the crowd, slashing one in half and then he turned and parried a scythe.

He was saved when Lady managed to fire another rocket and tore the rest apart with a rocket.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! Yes, I know the chapter is short, next chapter will be longer. I also want to point out that Seth and Lady will be getting together when DMC 4 is done and DMC5 will be coming up right after that. Next chapter will be on next Sunday or the Sunday after that and will show Seth and Lady traveling deeper into the forest. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
