It had been a month since Dante and Nero had been kicked out of the Fighters Guild. The adoring fan had seen how boring Dante had become and so decided to stalk some more interesting adventurer known as the Champion of Cyrodiil. They had already spent 3/4 of the prize money they had gotten from the arena. They had done a few miscellaneous jobs for people here and there to keep from going broke but it wasn't enough to keep them from falling into boredom. One day they were walking through the streets of Bravil when they heard an interesting conversation between two people from the mages guild. "Hey, did you hear? A High Elf named Aseph Dy'nessa from the Arcane University said that he's found a way to turn back time!" a female Argonian exclaimed.

"No way, that can't be true," the Imperial she was talking to said in disbelief.

"Did you here that? Maybe he could turn back time so that our planet was never destroyed!" Nero said excitedly.

"I don't know... Sounds like a lie to me, nobody can really do something like that," Dante said skeptically.

"Well we won't know unless we go talk to him, will we?" Nero said. So they set off for the Arcane University.

Two Days Later

"We're here to meet Aseph Dy'nessa," Nero said to one of the guards standing next to the doors that led into the Arcane University. The two guards exchanged dark looks. "What? Is there a problem?" Nero asked.

"Yeah, you do realize that guys a mad man, right?" One of the guards asked.

"Is he dangerous?" Nero asked.

"In our eyes he is. His spells are constantly going wrong. It's addled his brain. Now he keeps saying he's invented these wonderful new spells when in reality they're all just a load of crap. He once said he'd made a spell to make a person beautiful beyond comparison. He used it on a girl and in turned all of her hair purple and gave her a giant nose," the guard said. Dante laughed. "It's no laughing matter. Eventually one of his spells could cause some real damage."

"Well, we want to meet him anyway," Nero said.

"You sure about this, Nero?" Dante asked.

"I am."

"I'll take you to him," the guard said with a sigh. "The guys got his own building to himself. Nobody wants to sleep in the same place as him."

"Hey Aseph! You here?" Dante yelled as they reached the building's entrance. The guard had already hurried off. There was an explosion of pink smoke and a man emerged from it.

"I'm him, no need to yell," the man coughed. He was tall, even for a high elf; he had white hair that stood strait up. His eyebrows had apparently been burnt off, and he had a big fuzzy white mustache. "What do you need me for?" Aseph asked.

"We wanted to ask you about your spell that can turn back time," Nero said.

"Oh yes, that. Well, it seems the spell it not yet complete. You see, it can only turn back time to a few minutes ago, which I can't imagine would be all that useful. It seems that it needs to prepare for exactly seven days to be truly useful. Or was it seven years? I never can remember the little details," he said with a puzzled expression.

"Yeah, I don't think I'll take my chances," Dante said as he started backing toward the door.

"You can give up but I'm not. Could you prepare it for me?" Nero asked Aseph.

"Why of course! Though I need to know if you're friend wishes to try it as well because it will need to prepare seven extra days then," Aseph said. Nero looked at Dante questioningly.

"Fine! But if this harms my good looks you're gonna pay for it," Dante growled at Aseph.

"It would help if you could bring me back some rare and magical things to help strengthen the spell. I'll need seven daedra hearts, one varla stone, and five Welkynd stones," he said.

"What the hell are those?" Dante asked. Aseph huffed and then explained what they were and where to find them. "That doesn't sound too hard, just gotta explore some ruins and slay some demons," Dante said.

14 Days Later

"We're back!" Nero said as he stepped through the door.

"Good! Good! Did you bring everything I asked for?" Aseph asked.

"Yep, and this weird thing called a sigil stone. I'm the one who found most of the stuff, " Dante added proudly.

"No way! I got the most important stuff, weird glowing round things don't count," Nero huffed.

"Ooooh, I needed that, not the hearts! I'm glad you brought it or the spell would have been a failure!" Aseph exclaimed.

"But you said-" Nero began.

"Oh I know what I said! But I was thinking of a different spell when I said that. My memory just isn't the same anymore," he said with a sad shake of his head.

"What if we hadn't taken it!?" Dante exclaimed.

"You're an adventurer! One of the main things you do is snatch important looking things," Aseph said.

"He's got a point," Nero said. Dante just grumbled. "Relax, we'll be out of here soon and then I can be with Kyrie again," Nero said cheerfully.

"That's why you've been so tolerant of this guy! You were day dreaming about your girlfriend!" Dante growled.

"At least I had one," Nero mumbled.

"What did you say?" Dante growled.

"Boys! Boys! Calm down! The spell is complete and you will be returned to the time right before the tragedy to you planet, as well as your city, happened!" Aseph said cheerfully. "You must be within contact of one another when I activate the spell," he said. They glared at each other and then held hands. Aseph cast the spell and then suddenly they were gone.

Several Moments Later

"We're back home! Everything will be alright now!" Nero said cheerfully.

Back to having to deal with my debts... Wish I could have kept all that gold... Dante thought drearily.

Meanwhile...

Oh dear, it seems I used too much power. It was only fourteen hours that was needed, not days. Time will be set back more than it should have... Aseph thought. Oh well, nothing I can do about it now! He thought cheerfully.

Back with Nero and Dante

Nero was turning to head home when suddenly A T-Rex stomped by. "W-what's going on?" he stuttered. They looked around and then it dawned on them.

"This is the age of the dinosaurs!" Dante exclaimed.
