"*Sigh* okay good news, bad news and really odd news" said a slightly exasperated Jason as the Gamer/Demon Hunter massage the side of his head while ZhenJi sat right in front of him, it was just after the woman had the unidentified object latched onto her that the team had to book it back to the hideout where they tried to figure out what it was
Science didn't find out much when Lisa gave up sometime through while Jason pretend to look at it for a while since the Gamer already told him what it was the moment he saw it. ZhenJi looked slightly scared squirming in her seat before tentatively asking him "I think I'll take the bad news first before moving to the good then odd"
Jason looks at her for a moment before letting out a sigh as he explained to her "well since you've asked for it, bad news is that suit of yours from what I could gleam is symbiotic in nature which means it needs to feed, from what I could tell when I was scanning it and if that wasn't the kicker then this would be because the thing feeds of adrenaline. By that I mean so long as you get into any sort of intense situation it will feed of it like a leach and as long as you do that then you all right"
ZhenJi blinks a little for a moment before she asked "and the good news?"
The Gamer/Demon Hunter deadpan at her as he replied "that was the good news now her comes the odd news, the damn thing is linked to me"
The confuse look on her face made him explain "short version is that the symbiote is highly sensitive to demonic energy and if I would wager a guess I say that the one Lisa stole was a blank slate so it doesn't have an imprint till I came along. Now the problem is what the heck was Donovan doing with something like this, even more so with Mundus since I've doubt an egomaniac like him could do anything with this"
It was here that Vergil decides to voice an opinion "I wouldn't worry about him to much because I know that the fool doesn't have the skills to do so and I can wager a guess to who does"
The Gamer/Demon Hunter lets out a sigh as he replied to him "in the end it still comes down to whoever this third party is huh?"
The silence was all he needed to know as he lets out a frustrated sigh and quickly stood up and said outloud "okay now if we're done with this it's getting a little late and I think ZhenJi should get some rest now before we start her training tomorrow"
Said woman looks at him for a moment where he quickly explained "like I've said you're right now technically connected to me which means if I get offed permanently and stay that way for more than 5 minutes you do too while vice versa might give me some backlash and nothing else"
She cringed for a moment before she got up and headed for the door, Jason did manage to stop her for a moment before giving her a peck on the cheek before saying to her "don't worry okay, I'm not going that quickly and not to those three jokers so turn that frown upside down babe"
The woman smiled for a moment before Jason smack her ass with a grin on his face and said to her "now get that fine ass back in our room and wait right there for me okay"
She nodded before heading out the door and leaving the two brothers alone for now, a small silence ensues until Vergil spoke first "think giving her that kind of promise is wise?"
The Gamer/Demon Hunter gave him a shrug before replying "better to have hope rather than a bleak reality, mind you she's still taking all this in despite having a brush with armageddon twice in her own world and now this can take a hold out of anybody. Besides I won't go down that easy and that's a promise of a lifetime"
The oldest son of Sparda shook his head which prompt Jason to continue on "oh don't give me that like you didn't have a moment with your wife who I am still trying to figure out what she sees in you"
He had a shit eating grin on his face even after having to dodge a single [Summoned Sword] aimed right in his face by an annoyed Vergil, he couldn't help but chuckle at teasing his brother's love life before he finally got serious "so what you got from the raid we've done?"
Scoffing Vergil simply replied "nothing noteworthy in regards to Mundus nor this third player only Donovan himself but there are a few hints here and there about their operations which concerns our two guest"
Raising an eyebrow Jason then said "oh and what do you mean by that?"
The eldest on of Sparda didn't hesitate to reply "it would seemed that you were right about them being bait, I combed through the data and found it just slightly odd as all of them focus just a bit too much on Donovan and almost nothing on his third partner or at least something on Mundus"
That was odd from the eyes of the Gamer/Demon Hunter as he said to him "okay now that's a bit odd, I mean nothing on either partners means that Donovan's either doesn't know about their plans or is being used as a patsy which in this case doesn't go well for us"
Vergil nodded for a moment before Jason continued on "so what do we do now? Is this gonna affect any of your plans in dealing with them"
Shaking his head Vergil coolly replied "as of now we continue on with the plan, you will be needed soon and I would suggest taking the witch with you as this next mission might require your brand of 'fun' so to speak"
The grin on Jason's face slowly turned malicious with intent the moment he heard Vergil's wording
(Next day)
Appearing right at the Bloody Palace ZhenJi took a deep breath as she got herself ready for her training, following behind her was the Gamer/Demon Hunter and West with the two looking slightly interested at what ZhenJi can do with her current powers. It didn't take long as Jason spoke to her first "well now we're good and rested time to find out what makes this thing tick"
The woman nodded in slight hesitation before the suit slowly forms on her and stood imposingly before them, Jason whistled for a bit while West looks on with interest before Jason continued on "okay I'm gonna get you started with a few easy minions and see how you do with them all right?"
The now costumed woman nodded before Hell Prides started appearing all around her and then they pounced, the Gamer/Devil Hunter and the witch looks on as ZhenJi started to lay waste to them while making some small talk
"Hmm well we've got the usual super strength and durability checked out" muse Jason while West nodded before adding her own input as ZhenJi blitz through the demon lines
"Also having enhanced speed as well"
Jason nodded for a bit before making some small talk with the witch "how are you handling all this, I know that its still quite a bit take in even after what you've been through"
The witch seemed silent for a moment as ZhenJi's arms turned into scythes and started swatting through the hell demon's ranks. She then spoke "as much as I can be, I will admit it is interesting to see how far humans had accomplish same same could happen in my world"
Jason didn't even need to look at her before replying "maybe, maybe not, with how you describe your world I don't think your shall we say leaders would like that"
Still watching Zhenji taking on the horde in the air West said to him "mmm that is true but I'm sure my reincarnation so to speak can take them"
Seeing Zhenji using her cape to shield herself from incoming fire Jason said "you know I don't think I ever asked but you and the other witches don't like each other very much do you?"
West shrugged for a moment before explaining to him "I am not fond of North or South but East an I are friends to say the least"
The Gamer/Demon Hunter hummed lightly as he tilt his head to avoid a flying Hell Pride while looking on at ZhenJi firing red lasers from her hands before saying "maybe, tell you what though if you want once I get my powers rolling again we can take a side trip to your world and see how it is now, what do you think?"
West went silent for a moment as ZhenJi started to fight with a Hell Guard before she answered "I…will think about it for a while, I may not know whether how long may have pass since I have been gone and I do not know if any of them could still be alive by then or something might change due to my presence there once again"
He nodded understandingly as ZhenJi finally finished of the last of the demons and that's when he started to speak to her "good job babe, let's head back so we can discuss what we can do with your powers"
The woman nodded for a moment before all of them disappear from the Bloody Palace
(Next day)
Virility, a very common drink people in the city had come to know and love, but what lurks inside of it is something slightly more sinister as some claim to be, Jason looked around the factory fr a moment before heading inside with West and Kat. The Gamer/Demon Hunter couldn't help but shake his head as he said to the ladies
"Man I know that some people said that popular stuff like this have a secret ingredient but this is pushing it"
He looks back towards his entourage to see Kat in her usual outfit whereas West wore something a little more normal with a simple white long sleeve blouse and jeans, her hair had been let down as it reach pass her waist alongside a pair of high heel shoes
Kat then replied him "this is serious Jason, the succubus here is very old and powerful, no doubt that it she knows that you're here too and is waiting"
All she got in return was a scoff as Jason retorts lightly "listen Kat this isn't my first rodeo and it ain't going to be my last, besides I doubt that there is anything in here that can take me out"
Kat didn't seem to believe him too much though West decides to point something out "as interesting at this debate is going to become how about we finish taking out the succubus residing here"
Jason just gave a shrug as the three of them manage to sneak past the human guards and head towards the warehouse area, it wasn't long before West and Jason stepped into the circle Kat made before going into Limbo
It didn't take long as the entire Virility warehouse expand on itself and everything within flew and shifted until all of them had turn into a vertical platforms. The two looks around for a moment as Kat called out to them "you guys okay?"
Jason replied to her "yeah we're down here"
The two sees Kat right above them as she said to them "you guys head back to the mixing room I'll meet you there"
She then quickly takes off leaving the two down there as West said outloud "do all missions like this have to be so annoying"
He knew what she meant as he gave her a shrug and said "you'll be surprise how many times I have to backtrack to break whatever spell is holding the entranceway, believe me they are a pain"
She nodded for a moment as the two started to make their way to the top, it wasn't long for the demons to appear as boxes flew everywhere and started pelting them, Jason jumped and weave through them as he double kick a demon wielding an ax shield combo whereas West simply flew pass them and engage in aerial combat with flying babies
Sliding underneath a swipe Jason sweepkick the attacker before kicking it back into a small group of demons before laying them to waste with Ebony and Ivory, ducking a swipe he then back kicks it behind the knee and finish it off with a headshot.
West fared just as easy as she blocked every shot before retaliating with a hail of ice the either froze the babies or straight out impaled them with ice, another 30 seconds later and our two heroes then find themselves walking through a somewhat never ending hallway of twist and turns that would give anyone a headache as the two engage in some small talk
"So what would your beloved think of you if she could see you right now?" asked a curious West
All she got was a tired sigh from the Gamer/Demon Hunter as he then replies to her "knowing her a slap on the face before we tear whatever place apart while the other would just punish my wallet in a shopping spree with me as the mule"
West looks at him with a raised eyebrow before she then asks "I would have thought that you might be a little more worried about that?"
"Oh I'm worried all right, heck I'm downright terrified of what happens when I meet them again and to be honest I don't blame them…well I will blame the jackass for cockblocking me but that's about it" replied Jason before he then asked her "so what about you, you given any thought about my proposal yet?"
The Witch hums for a moment before she replied "you do make quite good points when you explained it all and while you did explain the pros and cons I feel that I might not be ready just yet"
The Gamer/Demon Hunter raised his eyebrow for a moment as she continued on "I have thought long and hard about it for a while even before we met and what we had said about yesterday made me fear that I might have some unfinished business I have left behind back in my dimension. I have no doubt that my incarnation would rid the world of evil witches I still have how would you say a score to settle with North and South, and while turning into a devil now might give me some added abilities I feel that I should end them as I am now"
That was enough to make Jason blink for a moment as he contemplates what she just said for a few moments before shrugging and said "hey its your choice the deal's still on the table if you're still up for it after you're done with your thing"
It was here that Jason got himself a notification
*DING*
[New Quest]
[Help West get even with North and South]
[Time Limit: starts when entering Witch Hunter World]
[Rewards: ?, West joining your Peerage]
[Failure: West not joining your Peerage, Death?]
That made the Gamer/Demon Hunter rolled his eyes for a moment as the two headed back towards the mixing room and what they saw made them grimace in disgust as every vat there was the body of a creature with the vat showing its insides as it mixes in with the liquid, West cringe in disgust knowing that in the human world that people are actually drinking from the vats
The two met up with Kat as the slowly headed towards the main room following the pulsing veins that littered the entire building, all of them looked down at the hole as Jason then said "so this is where the succubus is suppose to be?"
Kat nodded as she then said to him "yes the only way to the succubus is through Limbo but that's not the only problem we have, there's also a main control centre within Virility where the final product is made. Because of that it also functions as a secondary waypoint to make the drink should the succubus fall alongside a teleport defense mechanism if left unchecked so we have to hit both at roughly the same time which is good since both are in Limbo"
Curious Jason then asks her "if you say it like that then why don't we hit that first before coming back for this bitch?"
Kat replied "even if the succubus didn't detect us with the ruckus we've made she could still escape somehow so we have to hit both of them"
Letting out a sigh the Gamer/Demon Hunter then said outloud "man I wish stuff like this isn't so annoying"
Before anyone could stop him he jumps straight down into the pit in a freefall, with the winds blowing in his face and the rush of adrenaline in his veins Jason couldn't help but give out a wicked grin as he maneuver himself before summoning his upgraded motorcycle and started riding on the walls in a very showy fashion. The demons tried and failed to stop him as the Gamer/Demon Hunter used the very own motorcycle as a weapon with the flames on the wheels to incinerate and smack them all aside, just before he reached the end though he jumps to the side and rammed straight through the nearby grate and kept on going till he reached the end of a giant double doors
"Knock, knock"
Getting off his bike the Gamer/Demon Hunter was treated to a giant room with the entire bottom filled with demonic liquid and all around were floating platforms and rubble, what hang from the middle however was probably the most disgusting thing he had ever seen. As it was not the succubus the myths had spoken off with unparallel beauty and sexiness but a grotesque form of a larvae with a face of an old fossil woman with bug like eyes on its head just at the top of its normal eyes and bony like arms in the centre while the outer arms were huge yet still disgusting
It notices him for a moment before it said to him "who the fuck are you?"
Grinning, Jason couldn't help but quip out "didn't you get the message, I'm your date for the night." the Gamer/Demon Hunter pace around slowly as he continued on "but man am I gonna ask for a refund, I mean I asked for a mature hot succubus for the night and they gave me an old hag like you, wow someone out there screwed something up if they let you on date'r'us"
It didn't seemed amuse as the demon retorts badly "you dare to insult me I am twelve hundred years old boy"
It didn't seemed to faze the Gamer/Demon Hunter as he quips out "wow only twelve hundred with a face like that you look like twelve thousand to me"
That struck a nerve as it roared out "FFFFUUUUUCCKKKKKK YYYYOOOOUUUUU" alongside it was vomit like secretions which made Jason quickly jump to a nearby pillar with a cocky look on his face as he said to her "woah at least get me drunk first to get rid of your ugly mug out of my eyes, besides I don't give out on a first date you know"
That manage to anger the demon as it starts to swing its arms right at him, Jason gave her a mocking grin before jumping off the pillar and landed in a crouch with Rebellion out on his right hand. It wasn't long till the demon shriek in pain as its arm got cut off, the Gamer/Demon Hunter turned towards her and said "I think that's a little bit of an improvement don't you think?"
That didn't seem to improve the demon's mood as it roared out "YYYYOOOOOUUUU MMMOOOOTTTTHHHEERRRRFFFUUUCCCKKKKKKEEERRRRRR" Jason had to leap away from another wave of vomit before it could hit him
Landing on another platform in a sitting position he then said to it while pretending to dust himself "hey least you could do is not stain the coat, do you know how had it is to wash ugly of this thing"
The demon roared again as it tries to swipe at the Gamer/Demon Hunter who continues to toy with his prey at the moment, another arm gone and the demon kept on going while Jason continues to mock her "you know I didn't think it was possible for an old demon to have dementia but hey I've seen weirder things happen in my travels"
Quickdrawing Ivory he pelted the demon with DT enhanced lead that made it shriek and trash all over the room. The demon tried to ram at him but all it got was zip as Jason use Cerebus and pulled a stray pillar right in her path, the collision head on disoriented the demon before it was sent right into another pillar via punting
Jason landed with his back facing the demon still holding his cocky grin on his face as he voiced out "man it's like shooting fish in a barrel I almost feel sorry for ya" tapping Rebellion on his shoulder twice he quickly fired two Drives right at the wires connected to the demon
With the cables gone the demon was barely hanging on as it tried to prevent itself from falling into the sea of orange liquid underneath it, the Gamer/Demon Hunter couldn't help but shake his head as he stood right in front of the demon and said to it "wow, now I really do feel sorry for you. So any last words?"
The demon tried to say something but all it got was a Drive cutting the last piece of connection her body has before a boot found its way to its face which sends to demon screaming right into the sea of orange
The current sends it right into the fans where the demon found itself being slice into tiny pieces, Jason on the other hand just shakes his boot and said outloud "man that's gonna be a pain to wash out"
Seeing the remains of the succubus he couldn't help but give the last word in "not sure if I'm glad of slightly pissed that I didn't get anything from that hag"
Seeing that he was done with the demon he then start walking while summoning a viewing portal and called out to the people on the other side "hey ladies I'm done dealing with the demon how's it on your end"
The first to come to view was Kat as she answered him "we're just about done here Jason, meet back up at the portal with West and I'll meet you two there okay"
He was about to reply but he had to stop walking and the Gamer/Demon Hunter couldn't help but chuckle as he replied to her "as much as I would love too I think I'll have to take a rain check Kat, looks like I'm gonna have a little bit of the main course to wash the awful taste of appetizer of my mouth"
Kat was about to ask but the Jason quickly kills the feed before turning back towards the newcomer and he couldn't help but quip out "now who do we have here?"
