"Something on your mind, Valerie?"

"Huh? Oh nothing...just staring at my family photo."

"Hey...that kid looks like Dante...You have any idea who did this?"

"I can think of one. Dante's twin brother...Vincent."

"Isn't that the twin that who got separated from your family at the age of 10 when you were giving him psionics only to get caught by your father?"

"That's him...if I had him still, I would've made him sophisticated citizen of ADVENT...no even better. The first human psionic soldier of ADVENT."

"But you had no luck finding him..."

"Correct. My father hid him well and is extremely protective to him. But it won't be long before we find him."

"Or they would find him."

"Don't start. They won't do that unless they were told to do it."

"Oh..."

...

...

...

...

"They found him. He's holed up in North America at Tampa Bay Florida. That's where a resistance has taken over."

"That's where the elders are going to start a retaliation. You sure they don't plan to kill him?"

"No...I already told the elders about him and were convinced on what were my intentions to do with my son. My only concern is...can Vincent control his psionics after all these years?"

"You mean to tell me he wasn't trained?"

"I didn't get the chance to cause of my father...but...something tells me someone was one step ahead of me to do that...but enough about that...get the soldiers ready for departure. I'm sure they are itching for a fight right about now..."

(Giovanni's pov)

We rushed out of the apartment with our guns at the ready and I see Dante taking out a whole squad with a rifle he stole from an ADVENT officer(which he hit the officer in the gut several times with the rifle butt just to get the officer down to ground and execute him in point blank in the head.). He showed no mercy...he killed them all with no emotion on his face...when he stopped killing them...he dropped the rifle on the ground and looked at me with a neutral expression on his face.

"Dante...are you alright?" I asked.

"...Yeah..."

"We need to go now. The warlock is here and he wants you dead." Vulpe tells him.

"A bit late don't you think? Me and Giovanni gonna have to hold our ground. You get the commander and his team." He frowned as he took out his revolver.

"Are you sure?" Vulpe asked with disbelief.

"For once, I'm gonna have to agree with Dante. This is going to be a fight of psionics and having a non psionic user here is an easy target." I sighed as I holster my glocks.

Vulpe goes silent for bit then nods and leaves us as Dante said...

"Here he comes..." He grinned as he turned around.

As he said that, I saw the warlock teleport near one of the cars with some ADVENT soldiers(five of elite soldiers.)...Jeez for someone called the warlock he sure looks like he took some steroids.

"Ah...so the rebel has decided to make his appearance and...you got the elders child here as well. How amusing..." He grinned.

Ugh...would it kill them to stop calling me that?!

"So you're the warlock I heard about...I was expecting someone more intelligent...instead of arrogant." Dante smirked.

That got him angry but before he can even utter a word, Dante shoots down the ADVENT soldiers with his revolver like he's Revolver Ocelot. This of course surprised the warlock in a split second.

"You're going to rely on your guards? Pathetic. I expected more from you..." Dante shook his head with disappointment.

A master warlock from a rpg stand point could take on entire army by himself with the powers of arcane...but that's just my experience not sure of others though.

"No more games, warlock. Just us and you. A battle of psionics." I said as I felt my psionics flaring around me.

He suddenly had this sick grin on his face...this can't be good...

"So be it..."

He uses his psionics to summon what looked like psionic zombies off of the dead guards.

"Dante? Remind me to hurt you for this..."

"If we can make it out that is." He smirked as he summoned a psionic sword.

But then he suddenly...

"Go ahead, Hunter."

What?! What is going on?! Even the warlock is like what the fuck is going on!

In a blink of an eye, the warlock got shot in arm somewhere in the rooftop giving Dante to lunge at him while I did my best distract those psionic revenants who try to get him (did I mention that they explode the moment you come near you? Cause they are about as ridiculous as heaven smiles exploding on you in a chain reaction...at least they don't laugh like them...try hearing that in your sleep...). He stabs the warlock through chest in a second.

"You...coward..." The warlock growled.

"That's funny...I could say the same to you." Dante said as he kicked the warlock away from him.

Now that's dirty...that's Yuki Terumi's levels(possibly about to that level) of dirty...

"But let's face it...you were going to take this opportunity to say...have your sister snatched my friend by surprise."

That alone told me that someone is coming from behind me. I quickly rolled out of the way as I shot near a car and all of sudden the assassin appears out of nowhere deflecting my bullets with her sword...and she was pissed.

"See? Can't fool my sense of smell." Dante grinned victoruous as I backed away from the assassin with my glocks pointed at her.

"You won't be keeping the elders child from us forever, rebel." The assassin growled.

"Stop calling me that! You people took away from my real family and you dare call me the elders child!?" I shouted at her.

Marco and his team showed up armed to the teeth with their weapons at the ready as Dante sits down on car as he stares as the wound warlock in the eyes.

"I'll give you a five second head start to run before you get shot down. Better make it fast cause I'm giving you second chances."

Without any second thoughts, the assassin and the warlock vanished...they'll be back...I know it...I then notice Dante looking at me and as if he read my mind...

"You have questions and I have the answers...but now is not a good time. We best get out of here before more reinforcements get here."

He better otherwise I'm going to give him one hell of a headache...

(3rd pov)

Meanwhile at Florida Tampa Bay

A old man in his late 70s wearing a camo pants, shirt and boots sitting on a wheelchair with the help of a nurse strolling him to a base near the market area. As they got inside, a woman in military uniform looked shocked on what he saw on the radar.

"What's going on?" The old man asks.

"ADVENT forces are coming here and fast."

"Damn it...have every available men on high alert. We can't let those cowards take a foothold of this city." The old man frowned.

"Yes, sir. But what about you?" The woman asked him.

"I'm going to take my grandson somewhere safe...I don't want their filthy hands on him...not while I'm still breathing..."

"I understand, sir. Good luck."

"Thank you, lieutenant." The old man sighed.

A couple minutes at an old apartment, a young man sits down near a window reading a book from H.P. Lovecraft as he muttered...

"The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind."

He turned a couple more pages as he muttered this time a bit more quietly...

"Dante...where are you...? I want to see you once more...reunited like old times...before we were separated...please...I hope you're still alive...I got some many things to tell you about what's been going on..."

*A/N: I just watched a video of the hunter and seems to be your typical sniper unit who kidnaps your units for fun. Here's something I didn't expect...the dude does not fear death. You kill him and respawns like a character who dies in an fps multiplayer mode. Watch out cause he's coming for us...*
