DVYL May Cry

Dante was quickly making his way up the remains of the stairs in the building. He could easily sense Mundus at the top of it. He was so close to ending this once and for all. He stopped a few feet below the floor Mundus was on, regaining his breath and trying to stop himself from shaking. He was so close to the being he hated more than any other. He wasn't afraid, his body was shaking from pure adrenaline.

He was distracted enough that he only picked up that someone was behind him at the last second. He grabbed Rebellion and spun pointing his blade at the neck of the person. At the same time, a familiar blade was pointed at his own throat. That's when he realize that It was his brother that he was in a standoff with.

Both pulled their blades away and Dante spoke up, "Where the hell have you been?"

Vergil sheathed Yamato before answering, "Dealing with the bombs."

"What bombs?" He asked.

"It's what Mundus wanted the Dust for." Vergil continued. "He had a whole train with bombs in each car. Still not entirely sure what he was planning to do with them but I disarmed them now. That way a stray shot or even a demon couldn't set them off."

Dante's eyes widened, "Wow, I don't want to picture what that would've been like if it happened. Thanks, Brother."

Vergil nodded, "No problem." He then looked up at the roof. "We're here. Let's not keep him waiting."

Dante followed his eyes and nodded, "Yeah."

Vergil just kept looking at the ceiling, "You know what you have to do. You lure him out, I close the gate to Hell with Yamato. Then we go for the kill."

Dante rolled his shoulders, "Any ideas on how I'm going to draw him out?"

Vergil looked back at him, "We did kill his unborn child. Get him rabid." He said simply.

Dante raised an eyebrow, "I understand Mundus is the biggest piece of shit out there and his spawn probably would've been the same, but that is still dark, Bro." He sighed and shrugged, "But, I got it."

He was about to move when Vergil grabbed his arm, stopping him. "But, do not try to kill him. With that portal open, he'll reclaim his energy as much as he uses it. You'll just tire yourself out before he does. We need it closed first."

Dante nodded, "Right."

Vergil took a deep breath, "This is it. We have to put each other's lives in each other's hands, completely."

Dante just placed his hand on his shoulder and grinned, "We are brothers, after all." Vergil nodded with his own grin before placing his hand on Dante's shoulder. They pulled apart and Dante jumped onto the stairway railing before jumping up to the next floor. As his foot landed, he pushed off again to reach the one above. He did this until he was on the top floor.

He started to walk down the hallway and at the very end was a single larger room. Probably from knocking down any walls nearby. The only things in the room was a large swivel chair, almost like a thorn, facing away from Dante and a massive desk between him and the chair. It was pointed to look out the large gap in the wall, which was from the entire wall being collapsed on the top ten floors. But the view of the underground city was block by the massive red portal. It looked like red clouds slowly spinning counterclockwise. Dante could see the streams of demonic energy coming from it and into the person sitting in the chair.

Dante narrowed his eyes and started to walk forwards. His hands were clenching and unclenching as he did. He stopped a few feet into the room and that was when Mundus spoke, "So, the great Demon Hunter has come to greet me." He said in a neutral voice. "Who would've thought that the blonde asshole from that night at Junior's, would be my greatest enemy?"

Dante shrugged but didn't relax since he still couldn't see Mundus because of the chair, "Same person who would've thought that the Demon King was Vale's most wanted criminal mastermind, Roman Torchwick."

"I needed resources and to make sure things were done right. What better way to do that then t be there in person. Besides, that fear and respect helped to bolster my control." There was a few seconds of silence, "Why did you kill my child?"

Dante didn't answer and that was when Mundus stood up and walked around the chair to stare at the Nephilim. "I will ask you again. Why did you kill my child?"

Dante just glared at him, "Because you killed my mother."

"Ah, so it was revenge. I see." Mundus said as he slowly walked around the side of the desk.

"It was more than that." Dante hissed.

Mundus tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"

"It was for freedom."

"Freedom?" Mundus asked. "Well, you seem to have all the freedom you need. The freedom to murder my heir."

Dante rolled his eyes, "I'm not talking about my freedom." He took a step forward, "I'm talking about human and Faunuskind."

"Faunus and humankind?" Mundus chuckled as he walked in front of his desk. "Look at what they have done with that. They do nothing but fight, kill and starve one another. They even see the other as enemies when they have a real one right in front of them that does not discriminate. The Grimm. Yet they still try to fight each other instead of uniting against the common foe."

Mundus scoffed, "Yes, they had freedom when I arrived and they wasted it. But with me in charge, I will bring prosperity. Structure. A world that the Brother Deities would be proud of." He glared at Dante, "And what would you bring with your freedom? Violence, war, death!"

Vergil was at the end of the hall, crouched down behind the corner. He peaked around it before ducking back around it. He had Yamato in its sheathe and standing up beside him, "Come on, Dante." He whispered to himself as he gripped the handle of his sword tightly, "Get him pissed!"

Dante just stared at Mundus in his human form as he stared back. He realized he had to step over the line. As much as It left a bad taste in his mouth, he had to do it. He then spoke in a low voice, "You know what, Mundus? You're right." He then spoke in a normal tone, "It wasn't for the mortals. It was-" He chuckled a bit to play it off more, "It was for revenge." He started to walk slowly towards the Demon King, "I gotta tell ya, killing your child like that, watching it explode into little wet chunks, hearing you scream like one of your demon bitches. Priceless."

Mundus lost his temper and threw his hand forwards, throwing Dante backwards and into the stairway railing, bending it from the power behind it. He let out a gasp of pain as he looked down the hall. He saw Vergil just to his right and he pulled himself closer to the wall as a precaution. He then saw Mundus fly down the hallway and grab him, snapping the railing behind him and then the wall behind that. The two screamed as Mundus flew them towards one of the neighboring buildings.

Mundus smashed them through the top of the building, sending debris flying and a massive hole where they went through. A second later, Mundus jumped out of it, holding Dante by his throat before he threw him against the edge of the building. Dante let out another gasp of pain as he was leant against the side of the roof. Before he could move, Roman was on him. Digging his finger into his chest. He was grunting in pain and grabbed his forearms to try to stop him. But Mundus just smirked and kept digging his finger into his chest. Slowly and Painfully. "I am going to make you watch me while I eat your beating heart." His eyes started to glow grey ominously as Dante cried out in pain.

At that time, Vergil had finally managed to get into the room the Gate to Hell was in. Yamato was already drawn and his eyes landed on the portal, "Ok, let's shut this thing down." He said to himself. He ran over and jumped onto the desk and looked down at his sword. Both brothers getting a flashback of their mother being killed by Mundus. Vergil then drove the blade into the center of the portal, grunting in effort as blue energy poured out of the blade. But eventually the portal imploded and released of wave of latent energy.

Vergil was pushed back across the room but slowed himself by digging his sword into the ground. When he stopped, he fell to a knee and used his sword to brace himself as he took a few deep breathes. His eyes flashed red for a few seconds before they reverted back to his smoky blue. He shook his head and quickly stood, "Dante!"

Mundus stopped and turned back to the building in shock. He could feel himself being cut off from the Demon world. "The Gate…"He turned back to a half conscious Dante, "What have you done?!"

That's when Vergil appeared behind the Demon King in a cloud of blue smoke. He ran forward and drove his sword with two hands into his spine and out his chest. Mundus screamed in pain and loosened his grip on Dante. "Leave my brother alone." He hissed out as he pulled out his sword.

Dante used this opportunity to force the wounded demon off of him and off the roof they were on with a shout. He spit off the side as the Demon King fell all the way down and broke the pavement below. His motionless body lied there as the spit and blood from Dante landed on his face.

Dante slowly turned from the roof as Vergil asked him a question, "You okay?"

"You took your time." He said with a smirk.

Vergil just smirked back, "You're welcome."

Before either of them could celebrate, pavement, rubble and dead bodies of White Fang and Grimm were being pulled towards the Demon King's body. The two teams fighting them were stunned to see the White Fang suddenly stop with muted cries before they fell to the ground, dead. None of them seeing the demonic energy ripped from their bodies and surging towards Mundus. Even the Grimm would roar into the sky with pain before reverting into smoke which would follow the demonic energy.

Ozpin was experiencing the same thing. He had just put up a barrier to defend himself from the undead Adam's Semblance. As soon as the barrier went down, he charged towards the demonic vessel before stopping. It was twitching and spasming before dropping its weapons to the ground. That was when the demonic energies erupted from the body before flying towards the ruler. "This isn't good." He said in a grave tone before he started to run back to his students.

Meanwhile, Qrow was going toe to toe with the demon possessed Neo. The wound Dante inflicted on her stopped her from slipping into Limbo but her acrobatics and Semblance were still difficult to deal with. He was right to use his scythe and his own Semblance was keeping them even. But their battle had driven them further down the street and away from the Nephilim and King. Both were breathing unevenly before the heard the roar of Grimm and the sound of ruins shattering.

Qrow risked a peak over his shoulder, "What the hell is going on?" he asked out loud. He turned back around to see Neo looking past him with wide eyes. She blinked and they were back to normal. She sheathed her blade back into her parasol before she gave Qrow a smirk. She bowed and her eyes started to glow red. That was until her demonic energy was ripped from her body and her eyes reverted back to pink and brown. She then collapsed to the ground dead as her energy flew past Qrow.

He looked down at her body before turning back to the epicenter of all the madness. He shifted Harbinger back into its sword form before placing it on the back of his belt, "Guess its up to you now, Kid. You better come back alive. You better not hurt Yang by dying." With those word he turned into his avian form and flew to regroup with the others.

The Nephilim turned to the side of the building and saw a monstrosity looking over the building at them. It was made completely out of Grimm essence, pavement and concrete. The body was completely black while the rubble and pavement acted uneven and makeshift armor. It had glowing red and grey eyes with a third on his forehead. It opened its mouth with a distorted and rough voice said, "Two Nephilim? Two sons of Sparda?"

"You ready for this?" Vergil asked, not taking his eyes off Mundus' new form.

Dante turned to him slightly, "We can kill him now?"

Vergil turned to him, "The Gate is closed, he won't be able to get more energy and he just absorbed all of his minions to try to finish us. This is it."

Mundus gripped the building with both his hands as he leant in, "You will die!"

"Never!" Dante shouted back.

"Any ideas?" Vergil asked.

Dante shrugged, "Go for the eyes?" He pointed to the center of his forehead, "Third eyes always seem important. So let's see what destroying it does to this thing."

"I am Mundus!" He shouted as he reared his fist back.

"You're an asshole!" Dante shouted back.

Vergil ran to the side as Mundus went to crush them, "Keep him busy. I'll try to get his eye open." Dante rolled to the other side. "Don't try to attack until I get it opened." He then created a white energy sword before shooting it at Mundus' closed third eye. It only pissed him off and he destroyed the building with another punch.

As the building was falling apart. Dante quickly drew his weapon, turning into Ophion- Angel Lift. He quickly used it to grapple himself from falling debris to other pieces of falling debris. He managed to get close enough to a neighboring building to hook it onto the roof and pull himself onto it.

Once he was standing on it, he quickly looked around the area, trying to find his brother. He saw him appear in a burst of blue smoke on another neighboring building. He started to throw a volley of his swords into Mundus' back. Causing him to get annoyed and swing around to smash the building with a backhand. Vergil got caught up in it and was thrown to the side and trapped under a section of rebar and concrete. He had no time to do anything before Mundus reared his fist back again, "Dante, do something!"

Without another word, Dante used his Devil Trigger and slowing down Mundus to a crawl. From his spot on the roof, Vergil created another sword and struck Mundus in the head, opening his third eye. That caused him to stumble backwards and to grab the building Dante was on to not fall over completely. Vergil pinned the hand with three more of his swords, "Now, Dante, get to the eye!"

Dante quickly ran up the arm before using Angel Lift to whip himself into the air above Mundus' head. He used it again to pull him towards Mundus eye before shifting it into Eryx, driving the demonic first into it. Pushing Mundus back further before he reached up to it and grabbed him. He pulled him free and threw him into another building. Dante could do nothing and slammed into it, cutting off his Devil Trigger. The eye was damaged but not destroyed.

Vergil saw Dante falling and wasted no time throwing the debris off of himself. He ran to the edge of his roof before teleporting again to shove the two of them into the building his brother had fell from. Dante gasped and slowly tried to get back to his feet before Vergil offered his arm. Dante took it immediately and Vergil pulled him to his feet. "Good save." He told his brother.

"He's weakening" Vergil told him as they turned back to Mundus. The armor around his chest was cracking and falling off. "You see that?" He pointed at a huge orb of energy in the chest of Mundus' body, revealed from the armor crumbling. Inside that was Mundus himself but now like a silhouette of Roman Torchwick with glowing white eyes. mouth and same colored cracks running across his body.

"Yeah, he's still in there." Dante confirmed.

"We need to get in there and kill him." Vergil stated.

Before they could move, Mundus backhanded the building. Taking out the top of the building and leaving them exposed. Mundus smirked before using the orb he was in, his core, to try to pull them in. Dante managed to use Rebellion to stop himself by plunging it into the floor. Vergil was not so lucky though, he was being pulled in quickly and only stopped when he grabbed the building., "Oh no! Vergil!" Dante shouted in fear for his twin.

He reached out to grab him but that was when Vergil slipped, "No!" Dante screamed. Vergil flew through the air and into the orb, getting his body from his chest down stuck into it. Before he could get out, Mundus' original body erupted from it and wrapped his arms around the white haired Nephilim, pulling him into the orb with a scream.

"What have you done to him!?" Dante yelled. Mundus reply was to shoot a beam of demonic energy from its mouth. Dante just barely got away by using Angel Lift again.

As soon as he was on his new building, Mundus tried to crush him with his fist. He easily dodged it and shifted his weapon into Arbiter. Dante smirked feeling the familiar weight of the axe in his hands. He then leapt into the air and channeled demonic energy into the head of the axe. He swung down and launched it off from the axe. It drove into the back of the hands and created a series of red cracks from it.

Mundus screamed but his hand was pinned to the roof. While Dante was still in the air, he shifted his weapon into Aquila. The threw his weapons down and they split from two to six. Dante started to dart his hands around, causing all six of the blades to start carving into the hand further, causing light blue cracks to form out from it. The demonic and angelic energies were warring, causing Mundus further pain.

Dante landed on the hand and pulled his arms back, pulling the flying blades back into two and to his hands. He slammed his hands together and shifted his blades into Rebellion. He channeled more energy into his blade before driving it into the crisscrossing cuts from his previous attacks. He sent his energy into that point and the cracks started to spread exponentially up the arm and face while glowing brighter. Mundus roared in pain and as soon as Dante removed Rebellion, the arm crumbled into nothing.

Mundus looked at his now gone right arm as the right side of his face started to crumble away as well. He then leant his head forward, intent on attacking Dante with another blast of demonic energy. But Dante stopped him by grabbing his exposed right eye with Ophion- Demon Pull. He roared as the eye was pulled form his body. As that happened, Dante saw Mundus real form fighting Vergil in the core. The True Mundus turned to Dante to scream at him before he turned to Vergil below him and punched him in the face and hold onto Vergil's forearm that held Yamato, to stop him from using it before they vanished back into the orb.

Mundus fired another beam of demonic energy at the building he was on. Dante ran to the edge and leapt off of it before using his angelic energy to glide to another building on his left. He slid across the building and took few seconds to regain his breath. He was starting to get tired if he was being honest. He was always after using his Devil Trigger and continuing to fight was not helping. He quickly shook his head and prepared for what was to come next.

He spun back around to Mundus, who was now using his power to pull up more pavement to form projectiles to shoot at him. He could've easily moved out of the way but he could sense that all his friends were behind him by where they entered into the cavern, if he moved they'd be in the line of fire. He quickly drew Revenant and started to blast the projectiles when they got close enough to him. This lasted for a minute or so before Mundus brought his fist down on where Dante was. He rolled out of the way once again before drawing his sword and shifting it into Osiris before charging at the limb. He soon became a blur as he cut through the hand repeatedly. The scythe was siphoning demonic energy with each strike, which helped with leaving several cuts that slowly started to grow into light blue cracks.

Dante jumped into the air before form Eryx and charged his demonic energies into them. He came down with his fist glowing red, driving it into the back of the hand. He caved it in and spread out many red cracks that mingled with the light blue ones, causing the energies to fight for supremacy.

Mundus roared and pulled his hand away. As he did that, Dante jumped back and drew Kablooey as Eryx vanished into his tattoo. He fired all six darts into the hand. As Mundus pulled his arm back, the darts detonated. The repeated explosions caused the cracks to cascade throughout this arm and soon, his left arm was crumbling away just like his right did.

Mundus roared again and as soon as the left side of his face crumbled, Dante pulled out his left eye like he did to the right. That let him see Mundus' true form screamed again and for Vergil to deal a few good punches to the Demon King. He was about to stab him but Mundus knocked his arm away and started to strangle the Nephilim. That was good, he was fighting on two fronts. That would make this go easier. Especially, with his fatigue getting to him now.

Mundus opened his damaged third eye and started to pull up even more rubble and pavement to shoot a volley of projectiles at Dante. His friends were still in the crossfire, so he couldn't dodge. He quickly pulled Ebony and Ivory to start shooting down all the massive projectiles. He was quickly tiring and at any moment, he'd slip up.

Eventually, the projectiles were dealt with and Dante fell to a knee. Mundus took that chance to lean forward to try to fire a point black demon beam. Dante quickly drew Rebellion just before the beam would've hit him. He was saved but was being forced back quickly.

He was at the edge of the roof when he finally dug his feet in enough to stop himself. "Come on, Dante. You can do this! You can't let him win!" Images of his mother, father and the Arcs flashed through his mind, "I have to do it for them!" His friends flashed though his mind as well and finally, Yang smiling at him. His eyes widened before they narrowed in determination. "I promised I'd be there for her…and an Arc…never goes back...on his word!"

With those words, Dante dug deep to trigger his Devil Trigger one more time. With that, he pushed back the beam. He turned his blades so it would deflect it to the sides, away from him and his friends behind him in the distance, and cut through it. He started to charge the monstrosity and channeled his an energy into the blade. He slashed to form a shockwave that broke through the beam and cut Mundus' face and third eye in two.

It tried to roar but couldn't anymore. Rebellion shifted into Angel Lift one more time and hooked it onto the orb that Mundus and Vergil were still fighting in. Inside Mundus and Vergil were in a power struggle until Vergil planted both his feet into Mundus' chest and kicked him backwards. He then sent four sword at him. They impaled his shoulders and thighs and pushed him back with even more speed. Dante came flying in behind him with Rebellion in both his hands. He screamed and slashed him diagonally with the full power of his Devil Trigger backing him.

Dante flew past him and grabbed Vergil by his forearm, pulling the two of them from the orb. Red light started to pour out from the wound that Dante had delivered. Mundus looked down in shock until he turned to the sky and screamed, just before he exploded. Dante and Vergil just managed to escape before that, but the shockwave knocked them apart and into the pavement. And all his friends saw as the monstrosity crumbled to the ground after that.

Eventually, the dust settled. There were no more demons around and the Grimm were driven off by the raw power exhibited by the fight. Dante slowly and shakily pulled himself from the crater he had formed. He was feeling worse than he had ever been before. Would take some time before he recovered. He slowly started to walk over to his brother with a slight limp. Vergil was doing the same, using Yamato as a cane and holding hid upper arm that held it.

They stood only a few feet from each other as Vergil leant on his sword. He smiled, "We did it."

Dante just sighed in relief before smirking, "I did it."

That caused Vergil to chuckle and Dante joined him. They eventually stopped and turned away to look over the rubble that was once Mundus. Vergil placed his left hand on Dante's right shoulder. After a second or so, Dante placed his right hand on Vergil's left shoulder. They just stood there for a few minutes. Just soaking in the reality of what they did. Their mission was over, finally.

But fate had one last wrench to throw at them.

A/N- Here it is, the King is dead. And with that there is only one chapter left. That should come out sometime next week but if I get the chance, maybe this week but I highly doubt it.
