Abandoned
I do not own Devil May Cry or Dante. I do own Ariel and any other characters that are not in the games or anime. This is just for fun. Enjoy!
Chapter 21
The big stone castle soon came into view. I parked my bike behind some rocks and checked my belt to make sure my sword was still in its holster. "No one takes my children and gets away with it" I said through clenched teeth. I walked towards the castle and stopped at the gate. Skull headed demons were blocking the entrance. There were hundreds of them, and each one was armed with sharp scythes.
This really pissed me off. "Get out of my way" I warned. The demons stood their ground. I closed my eyes and sighed deeply. Everything was quiet. From the distance I could hear faint gunshots. I opened my eyes and raised my head in the direction the shots were coming from. Two bright lights were flashing inside the tower.
I turned my attention back to the demons. They growled and hissed at me, warning me to stay away. I took a step forward and waited. None of the demons reacted. "Its been a while since I've had a good fight" I said slowly reaching for my sword. The sun reflected off it as I pulled it out of the holster.
Tension and anxiety began to build up inside of me as I waited for the demons to attack. I took another step forward. Again the demons didn't move an inch. Something wasn't right. Why weren't they attacking? The gates slowly opened with a low groan. I shrugged, placed the sword back in the holster, and walked through the gates.
Once the gates closed I gripped the handle of my weapon and bend my body back, swinging the sword and slicing through the oncoming demons. The demons were waiting for the perfect time to ambush me. As I arched my body forward, the ground in front of me opened and revealed large red and orange flames.
I used my ability to control fire and raised the flames onto the surface. Most of the demons were burned. There were about fifty demons behind me. They hissed and attacked. I dodged the scythes they threw at me and watched at the scythes flew back, like a boomerang, to the demons hands. I smiled and placed the sword back into the holster.
A nearby boulder that was the size of a desk began to float twenty feet into the air. I leaned forward and launched myself onto the rocks flat surface. "If you want me... come and get me" I shouted. The demons hissed and lunged at me. "Yippy ki yay motherfuckers" I mumbled. Before they could reach me, each one was stabbed with long spikes made of rock.
I smiled as the demons screamed. The boulder I was standing on sank back into the ground slowly alongside the spikes. I dusted myself off and raised my hand towards the fire. I clenched my hand into a fist. The fire began to disappear, leaving nothing but black smoke and ashes in the air.
As the smoke began to clear, I could see a tall and slim figure walking in my direction. The person laughed. There was no mistaking that laugh. It was Dana. Just the person I wanted to see. "Well if it isn't my big sister, Black Mamba" she said stopping a few feet in front of me. I flinched at the sound of my old codename.
"Where are they Dana?" I asked angrily. "How long has it been Ariel, three... six years. Don't you miss the feeling of rapture running through your veins?" she questioned. I shook my head and glared at her. "I'm not an assassin anymore Dana. That part of my life is over".
She laughed. "Oh Ariel, once an assassin... always an assassin. Do you remember the sheer joy we felt from our victims cries as they were slaughtered. Slaughtered like the pathetic pigs they are... by the two most deadliest women in the world... Black Mamba and Viper?". I scowled in response, blocking horrible memories of Dana torturing our victims.
She enjoyed every second and every cry. I hated it. Jeremy forced us into working for him. He threatened our family, of course that was back when he was a dick. For years we made him millions, but once I had a chance to quit I took it without hesitation. Dana laughed harder at my reaction.
"Cut the shit Dana, where are my children?" I asked furiously. "Such a shame. Leaving a great life as a professional assassin, to end up getting knocked up and married to a very sexy man" she said completely ignoring my question. "I'm not going to ask you again" I said crouching forward like a lion that was about to attack its prey. She smiled and mimicked my stance. "My niece and nephew are safe" she answered.
The floor beneath us opened up and Dana laughed and cheered as the both of us fell into darkness.
A/N- I know this chapter is short, but there's more to come. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
