Devil May Cry Olympus Lightning Thief
ESKK: Well a new chapter is here and I won't lie it was a bit difficult but I did it none the less. Anyway let's get this show on the road.
(Start Mundus)
Mundus glared down through the Hearth of the meeting room observing the Sparda's and Artemis as they try to challenge him. "Well they are doing well for themselves." Zeus said as he glared at the Demon King.
"As expected of them." Mundus said not even denying it. "But this game has only just begun." Mundus said as he glared down upon the Hearth. "Soon enough they will come to know the despair of true defeat." Mundus said as Poseidon glared at Mundus.
"No they will not." Poseidon edged as he glared at Mundus. "The sea and the moon go hand in hand thus I know my son with the aid of Artemis children shall be the end to you Mundus." Poseidon growled as he glared at the Demon King.
Mundus scoffed and paid attention once more to the Hearth before Jubileus looked to her hands. "It seems this vessel shall soon serve its purpose my resurrection is at hand." She said as she saw the dust falling off it.
"And once your resurrection is complete our deal is as well." Mundus said as he glared at the Queen of Paradiso.
"As it should be." Jubileus said as she then began to take her leave. "I must finish the final preparations." She said as she walked out of the room.
But as she left two Olympians observed the whole thing while hiding behind a wall. IT was Persephone and Hermes as they saw the whole exchange. Hermes nodded to Persephone who nodded back before they began to take their leave to help Hades knowing he will join the fight soon seeing as his daughter was fighting this war of the trinity.
(Back with Dante)
Dante finished off the Nelo Angelo copy as its body fell apart showing it was hollow inside. "Jeez Vergil did that thing better." Dante said as he looked at the broken armor while it turned into ash. As Dante looked to the helmet he was reminded of the fate of his twin brother Vergil and in turn was filled with sadness. It was why he made sure his own kids didn't suffer from that kind of bloody history.
It was thanks to Dante and his friends that the two tri-breeds have such a close knit bond with each other. It made Dante proud to see them grow up as they have but also pride in himself to have pulled it off this far. But enough of that sappy stuff as he looked to the Empire State Building and knew he was getting closer. Now the easy part was getting there the hard part was getting to Mt. Olympus seeing as Mundus had set up base up there. Hopefully his Demon Blood will allow him access into Mt. Olympus.
But just then he heard and felt the ground rumbling as he looked around trying to figure out what that was. He then looked to a tall building and then over to a discarded Motorcycle and smirked to both objects. Dante then charged to the Motorbike and with Gilgamesh slammed a stone it was atop of. In doing so he manage to launch the Bike into the air before going after it. He used an enhanced jump to charge the bike and grab its handlebars before revving up the engine and activating it. Once Dante did this he was sent flying to the building and in turn began to drive up its side on the motorcycle.
As Dante drove upward he was soon met with falling debris in which he had to dodge and avoid them while he drove upward to get to the roof. He smirked after a bit seeing as he got through the major debris before he then saw a piece of building coming off. Dante smirked of course and drove up the falling piece before he drove off the edge of it. Once he did Demons began to attack opting Dante to hit each and everyone one of them with the motorcycle and even used the exhaust pipes to burn them all.
Once Dante had enough he pulled out Lucifer and sent many Ethereal Swords at the wall. He began using them to help boost him up while stabbing many demons with them with his run. It wasn't long until Dante arrived at the very top and did a spinning flip before landing on the roof. Once he was there Dante smirked calling off Lucifer and rolled his shoulder a bit to stretch. "Still got it." Dante said with a cocky smirk. Dante then began overlooking the edge of the building trying to figure out what started all that rumbling from before. In turn he saw the image of tendrils in the sky no doubt belonging to an Angel judging by the face on said tendril. What he was then met with was a Stag pulled Chariot passing through the sky and on it was none other than Calisto.
"Jeez these kids take after their old man." Dante smirked as he then realized what he said. "Oh great now they got me doing it." Dante said as it was clear he didn't consider himself that old. "Well then better go join the party seems like a wild one even from over here." Dante said as he took his leave to regroup with his kids until he was surrounded by even more demons. "After I deal with these guys." Dante said as the demons growled and roared at the Legendary Devil Hunter.
(Meanwhile over with Calisto prior)
After Calisto had dealt with the Behemoth and the other demons who showed up bot long after she stretched a bit and looked around. "Well this looks horrifying." Calisto said seeing all the damage and ruin this battle was causing.
But as she walked around a bit she soon took notice to something not too far away. It was a lifeless head with snakes and sunglasses causing her to go investigate. "Well what do you, know." Calisto said taking the head in question. "Medusa's head." Calisto said showing off the head a bit smiling at her find. Just then a group of lesser demons began to come up behind her before Calisto acted and showed the head removing the sunglasses. The result the demons seeing it and turning to stone not long after.
Calisto then proceeded to smash the statues before they can thaw themselves out and attack again. The Demons never saw it coming in the end as Calisto added Medusa's head to her collection. "Well this should be fun." Calisto said as she began to make her way to where she figured the Trident may be stored at. But as she walked it seemed life had a tendency to get in her way when the ground began to shake violently around her.
"What now?!" Calisto cried out before the ground around her began to break apart revealing a familiar set of tendrils about. "Great these fuckers again!" Calisto growled as she in turn began to shoot at them left and right. But after she got a few of them another one shot out from beneath her feet catching her off guard.
Calisto soon found herself in a familiar position like last time as she began to struggle to get herself free of it. "NO!" Calisto roared out as she slashed and shot with her struggle to get free but to no avail. She growled as she was being pulled into the holes below her figuring an Angel tried to sneak attack her. "Let go! Leg go!" She growled out refusing to be part of a tentacle rape hentai anytime soon or ever. She looked around as best she could but saw Bayonetta and Bianca weren't nearby to help her like last time.
"Dammit…" Calisto growled and had one option left hoping her mother was listening in still. "MOM!" She called out hoping Artemis would answer her daughter's plight.
(Meanwhile with Artemis)
Artemis was almost upon the Mall when she felt the ground shake. She looked around and saw nothing figuring one of her allies were dealing with a large Demon or Angel. But not too long after she heard a familiar cry ring in her mind. "MOM!" The voice of her daughter called out making Artemis go wide eyed as she saw the danger her daughter was in.
"Oh hell no." Artemis growled as she quickly acted by sending the best help she could to her daughter. The moon above shined and thus a familiar silver streak to Artemis shot down to where she knew Calisto was located.
(Meanwhile back over with Calisto)
As Calisto was being dragged down from the sky above help arrived for the true daughter of Artemis turned Umbra Witch. A silver ball of light shot down from the moon and managed to cut through the tendrils and catch Calisto in its saddle. Calisto was surprised and thankful as the streak shot down the road at great speed.
*Insert Bayonetta OST Afterburner
Calisto got back up and looked to see what caught her and found herself on a chariot pulled by Stags. She smiled to this realizing her mother sent help in the form of her prized chariot. "Oh hell yeah!" Calisto called out with a huge grin on her face before she grabbed the reigns.
She then flicked them and in turn caused the Stags to respond and power on through as they rode down the road to their next destination. "If you're gonna ride then ride in style!" Calisto called out as she drove her mother's Chariot down the road. Clearly Calisto knew how to do this as she was driving the chariot as though she had been doing it for years.
As she rode she soon saw lights shine down and in turn Angels in the form of cars blasted out and began their assault on Calisto. While this happened Demons who seemed to be melded with Motorbikes drove in and began to take over the roads. "Well then Death Race it is!" Calisto called out as she drove the chariot.
In turn the fight of the road began as Calisto began firing her guns at the Demons and Angels coming at her from all over. When the many foes about began to get to close she took out one of her twin blades and both slashed and stabbed them to keep them away from her. She was dealing with them but it seems there was near no end to them as she kept riding taking turns through the streets. She wasn't experienced enough to take this chariot airborne and she knew it was what allowed her mother to get the moon across the sky. It also meant if Calisto caused any solitary scratches on it she'd be in the hot seat with not only her own mother but her father as well.
She soon saw building beginning to tumble on the road and knew she had to get past them quickly. Thus she took the reins and snapped them hard giving the stags the message to speed up big time. The Stags did so and in turn Calisto felt the wind hitting her face harder than it had done before. Calisto was in turn able to make it pass the tumbling buildings and smirking as they then landed atop the Angels and Demons chasing her.
"Pancakes for breakfast please." Calisto taunted as she drove the Chariot. Her attention was then diverted forward where she then saw larger Angels all wielding Axes as she saw them ready to swing. "Shit." Calisto cursed as she had to think fast. "Come on guys anything you can do about those?" Calisto asked the stags as she pointed to the Angels up ahead.
'Leave it to us milady.' One of the Stags said in which Calisto understood. In turn she was smiling when she saw the Stags get then antlers ready. Calisto saw this and in turn focused her Umbra Witch abilities to the chariot. She then smirked when her outfit went into the chariot and made it enter a sort of demonic version of it. The Stags saw this but accepted it as it gave them a much needed edge against the Angels. The massive Angel didn't see it coming as it was rammed out of the way.
Calisto cheered as she called off the demonic power she had used and in turn guided the Chariot to a nearby ramp. Once she did she cheered a gain as she jumped over her remaining foes with her Umbra Witch Skills. As Calisto rode by the sky she looked to the side and from a distance she could have sworn she caught a glimpse of her father but just then the ground began to rumble and more of those tentacle rape tendrils began to shoot out from the ground.
Calisto growled in frustration when she saw them and in turn opted to use them to her advantage. She had the Chariot land on them and in turn proceeded to use them as an, improve trick road before she managed to jump off it with the chariot. She repeated the process several more times and even caused some damage to it and any attackers that tried to get a fast one here.
She repeated the cycle a few more times before she ended up back on the road driving as best she could to get to where these things were coming from. She was once more back on the road not long after a she rode down it with a dominant smirk. She kept riding but then noted there wasn't many more foes to take on anymore as she rode the chariot.
*End OST
AS they rode Calisto looked to the Stags with a smile before looking away sensing something. "Sorry but we have a problem." Calisto said to which the Stags agreed.
"Yes we sense it as well milady." The Stags responded to which Calisto nodded.
"This is where we part ways then." Calisto said and just as she said it the ground began to be hoisted up via those tendrils from before as platforms now. As this happened Calisto made the Chariot change direction before he jumped off said ride. She went one way while the chariot went an opposing path just before a Tendril split them up.
Calisto landed on the ground nearby and glared as the Tendrils began to rise up one by one. "Well then what do you think we should do?" Calisto asked pulling out Medusa's head and held it to her ear. "Yes I agree little snake we should teach this thing how to treat a lady." Calisto said while she returned Medusa's head to its previous storage spot. Just then the ground began to break apart as an acid or poison like substance began to rise from the ground. Just then an angel rose up with many faces across its sphere body and some of those faces having tentacles coming out of their mouths.
This grotesque creature belonging to some sad teenager's porn collection is the Audito known as Iustitia. As Iustitia rose up Calisto took a battle stance and got ready to rumble. "Let's rock baby!" Calisto called out pointing her guns at the foe standing before her ready to go wild on it.
*Insert Bayonetta OST: In giving every man his due
Calisto then charged into battle and jumped high before landing on a platform and got ready to rumble. Iustitia sent one of his tentacles at Calisto that had a large pod on it. From there it opened up and unleashed a poisonous substance down upon Calisto. Luckily Calisto avoided it and began firing upon on of the faces on the Audito. The bullets hit the Angel head on but didn't show any major signs of damage. But then again this Audito despite its grotesque look was still quite large here.
She aimed for the red gem on one of the tentacles heads while trying to avoid the poisonous acid the pods were releasing. She then jumped back and switched to her twin blades before charging in with them. She performed an 'x,' shaped slash upon it and in turn the gem shattered with some of the Angels Blood mixed in.
The tendril was stunned and it allowed Calisto a chance to move in. She jumped onto the tendril and with her Witch Walk began running up it. It was good fortune she used her Witch Walk because the Tentacle began to move once more. As Calisto ran up the tentacle she made sure to avoid the other ones as well as the spinning blades coming at her from the tentacle. No doubt those blades were made by the Angel to protect itself from harm. As Calisto kept running she soon arrived at the face and with her Wicked Weave she kicked the Angel's face causing it to vomit out its tentacle showing Calisto how to remove it. Calisto smirked and in turn with her twin blades made one major slash to loosen it properly.
When she did that she took the other blade and grinded it against its twin before slicing through the bulb completely. The Result was the Angels blood spewing out in a gore filled mess as it began to fall off. Calisto then turned into a bird with her Umbra magic and began to head back to the platform.
Once she was back there she transformed into a panther seeing the Angel attacking the platforms and destroying them. She jumped between platforms avoiding the previous ones who fell victim to Iustitia wrath. Once the Angel stopped it turned torts Calisto with its next Tentacle that possessed a head which had the eyes glowing now. The Face then spat out a plant like bulb which then opened up like a flower revealing more tentacles inside the plant bulb. Just then one of the tentacles grabbed large piece of stone and slammed it torts Calisto. Calisto responded by using her wicked weave to stop it.
She didn't end it there as she began to send in Wicked Weave infused punches torts the stone with successive flurry. Then with a powerful strike she shattered the stone and hit the Angels head behind it. "I know I'm still green with being an Umbra Witch." Calisto began as the tentacles fell limp and once more allowing her to jump onto it. "But why are you all repeating and falling for the same losing strategy?!" Calisto called out her taunt as she ran down the tentacle to the Audito's main body. Once she was there she wicked weaved kick the Audito's face and in turn caused it to once more vomit out the base of the heads tentacle. "To easy." Calisto taunted as she then dodged the Angels attempt at a counter attack.
In turn Calisto used Witch Time to her advantage and with her twin swords sliced her way through the pulsing bulb much like the other one. It then resulted in Witch Time ending allowing the blood to spew out like a geyser of bloody gore. Calisto then jumped away and took out the Medusa head and smirked to it. "So what do you think we should do? About time to end this?" Calisto asked as she looked to the decapitated head of the Gorgon Medusa. She put her ear to it and smiled no doubt taunting the Angel. "Your right we're about ready to end this." Calisto said as she got ready for the final round of this huge battle.
Iustitia roared in fury and began smashing the platforms once more opting Calisto to enter her panther form to avoid his attacks. She then stopped at one platform and slid in her human form with a cocky smirk. The Angel roared in fury and began smashing his pods onto the platform. Calisto dodged and avoided each one and used Witch Time to give her a boost in attacking his remaining face tentacle.
It then proceeded to throw a boulder at Calisto who then proceeded to kick it back where it came from. When she did this she charged in and with her Wicked Weave began to punch the Hell out of it. Soon the stone broke revealing the Angel was using it as a shield and with the shield gone the angels remaining tentacle face was hit and wended up cracking revealing a brain under its shell. Calisto then jumped onto the tentacle and began to run up it like she had done before.
But this time Calisto was met with faster and deadlier spinning blades of energy. Calisto saw this and with her Witch Walk went straight for it. Once she did this she jumped at it and manage to make it through with Witch Time while at the same time transforming into her Panther form once again. Soon Witch Time ended but by then it was too late as Calisto entered her human form once more and activated her Devil Trigger.
With a might roar she made a double kick to the Angels face causing its face to crack from the impact making blood shoot out of said cracks. It didn't end there as the Angel vomited out the base for its final tentacle. Calisto made a demonic smirk and spun in the air with her twin blades out in a reverse grip. Coming in like a buzz saw she sliced through the bulb causing its blood to spew out once more this time covering Calisto in it.
*End OST
Calisto then spread her wings out and flew to the nearest platform. She looked to the Angel and saw that Iustitia was beginning to charge up his divine power as an Audito. Calisto landed on the platform and reverted to her human form and knew what the Angel was about to do. "Bring it on." Calisto taunted making a, bring it on, gesture with her hands.
Iustitia roared and after charging up the needed power for a possible kamikaze attack he charged straight at Calisto. But Calisto was ready for it and smirked in great anticipation.
*Insert Bayonetta OST: Lets hit the Climax
Calisto roared out and sent a Wicked Weave at Iustitia knocking him back and ending his kamikaze before he could use it. In doing so the Angel ended up with another bloody nose as Calisto knew it was time to end this here and now. Calisto then proceeded to do the Infernal Summoning with a bit of the needed movement that made it look sexual in nature. "TELOC VOVIM!" Calisto invoked allowing her power and wicked weave to meld and enter an Infernal Portal down below the platform she was on.
From there the ground began to rumble and shake before a large demonic centipede like demon shot out. It crawled up upon Calisto's power seemingly flying on air. The Demon was none other than Scolopendra, Eradicator of Paradise healed and ready to slaughter an Audito. Scolopendra roared in fury at Iustitia before the Demon charged at the Angel. The demon wrapped itself around Iustitia and destroyed the large wing like outcrops while doing so. Once Scolopendra was fully able to wrap Iustitia up it began to crush the angel. Once it was good enough with a large crush and tug the Angel was crushed as its outer shell was shattered while its blood spewed from where the demons body did not wrap up fully.
Scolopendra returned to Inferno to await the next he would be summoned as Iustitia was left as a float piece of shit now that his outer shell was properly destroyed. "Incredible though a novice you are your power is unparalleled." Iustitia said as Calisto smirked to him.
"Well what do you know, it does talk." Calisto taunted as she then took out Medusa's head again. "So what say you think he's had enough?" Calisto asked as she once more put her ear to Medusa's head. "What? Still not enough?" Calisto asked clearly taunting the Angel.
"Jess if you must but I had played my role in this Kin of Sparda… no Umbra Witch Calisto." Iustitia said as he looked down upon Calisto. "A child born of the blood of Sparda and the blood of those false Gods. Gods who know not of the powers that help spawned them." Iustitia said as this got Calisto's attention.
"The Titans?" Calisto asked as the original Olympians were children born of the Titans.
"No… even more powerful. Forces that even the Creator would find herself unable to defeat without aid from Inferno." Iustitia said as he looked to Calisto. "Your master the Umbra Witch Bayonetta had defeated one such being as did you father the Devil Hunter Dante as of late." Iustitia said as Calisto was now intrigued. "One does not defeat a primordial without all of creation being aware of it." Iustitia said as Calisto heard this.
"Jeez do you ever stop talking?" Calisto asked as she was walking back and forth. "So is there a rest stop between here and the fucking point!" Calisto asked with an accusing finger to the Audito.
"The point Umbra Witch is that powers are at work ancient powers more powerful then Kronos are awakening and the countdown to the end of the world is upon us." Iustitia said before Calisto had enough.
"Ok I'm done talking." Calisto said before showing Medusa's head and unveiled her eyes to Iustitia.
In turn the Angel weakened and beaten back to turn to stone. As this happened an infernal portal open releasing demonic hands that took hold of Iustitia. "May the Creator, Jubileus, grace, you!" Iustitia cursed Calisto out before he was dragged into Inferno.
Once this was done Calisto sighed and put the Medusa head away before she began to walk away. "Well then I suppose it's time to move on." Calisto said as she walked away. "I wonder what Evan and the others are doing." Calisto said while she took her leave of the battlefield where she had claimed victory over the Angel.
(Scene Break over with Artemis)
Artemis arrived at the entrance of the mall after she had sent her Chariot to aid her daughter. So judging by the rumbling and the sounds of destruction from afar… Calisto was ok for now. But right now Artemis knew she had to deal with another Kalisto the one whom her daughter was named after. "Penny for your thoughts?" Came a new voice causing Artemis to look and see Trish standing there with the Sparda.
"Trish." Artemis greeted as she saw Trish had arrived. "What are you doing here?" Artemis asked as Trish then jumped down to walk to Artemis.
"Same as everyone else trying to stop this invasion and bring down Mundus… again." Trish said as she looked to Artemis.
"Well seems we're allies once more." Artemis said as she looked to Trish who agreed. "Still this is a fight I need to go alone." Artemis said as she looked into the darkened mall.
"I know but that won't stop me from coming in after you." Trish said as she looked to Artemis.
"I know." Artemis said before she began to make her way into the New York mall.
"Then lead the way." Trish said as she followed after Artemis into the Demons lair.
(Inside the Mall)
The duo entered it and saw like everything else this place was deserted like a ghost town. Trish had her guard up as she made her way through this place with Artemis who had her hands itching to draw her weapons out. The area was dark, the air was humid, and the atmosphere was ominous to all. Clearly whatever was here Trish knew had made it their den. Artemis knew what to do but also knew to be careful seeing as she had not seen Kalisto for centuries since that fateful day.
As the duo made their way through the Mall they heard movement from afar to which Artemis looked to Trish. "Go investigate and see what it was." Artemis said to which Trish nodded in response.
"Fine but signal if you find something." Trish said as she headed off to find what made that noise.
Once Trish was out of ear shot Artemis then sighed before making her way down the path. She knew what was coming and wanted to face it alone. She needed to face her sins and accept the past and hopefully heal from it with her family.
As Artemis walked in she soon heard rumbling nearby as well as demonic ominous breathing. As she made her way through the empty mall her hunting instincts were going wild telling her she was in danger the longer she roamed. But she knew this was a personal call for both parties involved and knew if she ran she would dishonor herself and the one whom she had wronged long ago.
It wasn't long until Artemis arrived at the center of the building did chaos arrive. From above a massive figure jumped down and in the last second Artemis back flipped away from the attacker. Artemis as she had back flipped managed to avoid the surprise axe strike from her attacker who began to stand up.
"As expected of you, your skills and instincts are as sharp as ever." The Demon said as she began to get up from her crouch.
"I'm the Goddess of the Hunt it's to be expected." Artemis retorted with a cold aloof look on her features resigning herself to this battle. A battle she did not want to fight or win but must win for the sake of her precious people.
"Yes I suppose even after all these millennia I would be foolish to think you going soft despite what the humans do to your precious forests." The demon said as she glared at Artemis showing a demonic parody of a face she had never forgotten. "Then again hypocrites and traitors tend to only use parts that benefit them eh Lady Artemis." The demon said as it glared at the Goddess.
"Kalisto." Artemis said as the demon chuckled to the Olympian. The demoness was tall, taller than Dante and Artemis are. She had muscle mass that no doubt would give Hercules a run for his money, a cloth around her waist covering her crotch and rear as her feet was covered in something akin to a barbarian with armor over it. Her upper torso was covered in light armor fit for hunting as she even had a gauntlet on her right arm with a built in crossbow and a gauntlet on her left arm with a retractable shield. On her back was a massive long sword while a massive axe was wielded in her right arm. Over her body was a skin pelt of a demonic bear akin to a dire bear as her fingers were tipped with claws capable of tearing even a god to shreds.
"Kalisto… she died a long, long time ago when she found herself trapped in Inferno betrayed by you." The Demon growled as she glared at Artemis. "I am Ursa Huntress of the Wild, Inferno's Killer of Gods." Ursa said as she glared at Artemis. "All because of you… betraying me the self-proclaimed guardian of maidens except when it comes to Zeus the minute he's involved you take his side even when he raped me!" Ursa roared as she glared at Artemis. "Because of you I was abandoned turned into a beast pregnant and hunted like some wild animal!" Ursa roared as she glared at Artemis. "I gave birth only to fall into Inferno while you made me into some Constellation without making sure I was dead first! The horrors the Hell I endured I only survived because of my RAGE against YOU!" Ursa roared n fury as she slammed a massive hunting axe to the ground creating a shockwave that blew Artemis coat and hair but still she stood tall.
"I'm sorry." Artemis said as this got Ursa's attention. "I've done you a great wrong so long ago Kalisto… I've done wrong by many I let my own godhood get the best of me and I failed in my vows as a guardian of Maidens." Artemis said as she looked down sadly to the side. "I know it's far too late for this apology and I swore if I ever saw you again… I'd make right the wrong I've caused I had to for the sake of the one who carries your name and the name of my mother." Artemis said as Ursa was intrigued.
"You had a Demi-God." Ursa said as Artemis smiled a bit.
"No… I had a tri-breed part human, part God, and Part Demon." Artemis said as she remembered the day she was blessed with Evan and Calisto. "I had a son and a daughter Evan Sparda Redgrave and Calisto Leto Redgrave." Artemis said as Kalisto was shocked to hear this.
"You gave her my name…" Ursa said as she glared at Artemis.
"Yes… I did if for no other reason than to honor you and to remind myself to be better then what I was." Artemis said as Kalisto glared at her former best friend.
*Insert Devil May Cry 3 OST: Suffer (Cerberus Boss Battle)
"You… had no right." Ursa growled as Artemis then had to dodge an attack from the massive Devil. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO USE MY NAME FOR ANOTHER!" She roared out and fired a crossbow bolt from her arm forcing Artemis to dodge it fast. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ENJOY SUCH HAPPINESS AFTER EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE!" Kalisto roared in fury as it was clear she did not take kindly to Artemis thinking she was making amends. "BECAUSE OF YOU I LOST EVERYTHING MY HONOR, MY PURITY, MY CHILD, AND EVEN MY HUMANITY!" Ursa roared in pure fury as she swung her axe wildly forcing Artemis to jump away and fire off her own arrows at Ursa to keep her at bay.
"I know… it's my fault I accept that… and with it I will accept all your rage that comes with it." Artemis said as she was prepared for battle. "I must beat you here Kalisto there are those who need me." Artemis said as Ursa scoffed at Artemis.
"You think you have a chance I know all your moves and learned a few new ones." Ursa scoffed as she glared at the Goddess.
"I will win Kalisto and I will carry what I've done heavily on my conscious for centuries to come." Artemis said glaring at the Demon.
"We shall see!" Ursa roared out unleashing her wild power as Artemis knew she would be in for a fight. Ursa charged in at Artemis and began her assault on the Goddess. But Artemis jumped back and fired off one of her arrows at Ursa. Ursa activated her shield and blocked the attack before firing off her crossbow gauntlet at Artemis. Artemis managed to dodge the attacks with ease before firing her own crossbows at the Demoness standing before her.
The bolts hit their targets forcing Ursa to jump back and get some cover between them. She then grinded her claws across the blade growling and creating sparks from the friction showing those claws both were sharp and deadly. Ursa then threw the axe at Artemis who then leaned back avoiding it by just a few strands of her hair. But she had to dodge again fast when the sword came back like a boomerang. It swung about as Artemis kept dodging and avoiding it before she drew Luthia and deflected the demonic weapon.
Once that was done Artemis charged in with Luthia only for Ursa to block Artemis attack with her shield drawn to the ready. From there Artemis jumped back and spun about before pulling out her bow with another arrow notched up. When she had a shot she took it and saw as the Arrow flew straight at Ursa who was hit in the leg this time. Ursa roared in pain and in turn drew her axe with a wide slash. Artemis jumped over it and smirked as the blade ended um imbedded into the wall. Artemis landed on the axe and ran up its side and with the Devil Arm Orion kicked Ursa in the face knocking her away from her axe. Artemis then grabbed the axe using Orion's power and swung it at Ursa who then drew her long sword to block the attack. Ursa growled at Artemis who returned it with a cold look upon her features. A look of resignation knowing she had to put down her old friend even though she knew Kalisto had every reason to be angry at Artemis.
Artemis never used an axe weapon this large thus it was easy for Ursa to capitalized on this fact and use it to her advantage. From there Ursa managed to push Artemis back causing her to try to block the next attack with the axe shaft. The result of it was Artemis being disarmed of the weapon where it landed not too far away from them. Artemis then jumped back and avoided the long sword attack from Ursa with ease. Artemis then charged back in and began hacking and slashing against Ursa with the Luthia as the two entered a sword fight against each other. Artemis swung under a slash from Ursa and proceeded to slash at her leg causing Ursa to roar in pain with her blood leaking out.
Ursa fell to her knee giving Artemis an opening but Ursa saw this and managed to shield bash Artemis away. As Artemis flew through the air she took out her crossbows once more and began firing them off at Ursa. Ursa hid behind her shield as she tended to her injury. Artemis knew she wouldn't get anywhere with that shield thus she spun midair and got ready for her next trick. She landed on the wall with Orion ready on her feet and crouched on said wall. Artemis then roared out and jumped forth from the wall straight at Ursa's shield.
She reeled back her right arm while infusing her Olympian power into the gauntlet and with a mighty roar managed to punch the shield with it. The force of the attack not only caused a shockwave to go off around them but Artemis managed to punch her way through the shield. The shield shattered allowing Artemis through as she used the momentum to send a powerful kick to Ursa's face knocking her down hard. Ursa ended up separated from her weapons as she had gotten back up on her feet.
Artemis wasn't done as she saw Ursa then take out her crossbow weapon and began firing at her. Artemis jumped back and returned fire with her own hand held crossbows. Their battle progressed as it was clear only one person would walk away here. Artemis then hid behind some cover as did Ursa as the two tried to catch their breath. Artemis looked and saw Ursa's sword nearby and near the sword was her axe. Artemis then took out her bow and got ready to spring it.
Artemis then ran out of her hiding spot and fired off her arrow at Ursa just as she came out. The arrow hit Ursa's arm causing her great pain as the result. In turn Artemis managed to make her way to the sword and grab it before spinning with it. She roared out and threw the sword at Ursa and saw how it went through her chest causing blood to spew out. Ursa roared in pain but Artemis wasn't done just yes. She then charged for the Axe and grabbed it while running and pulling it free. Once the Axe was ready she swung it over her head as Ursa began to get up and managed to stab it into her neck not decapitating her but mortally wounding her as the result.
*End OST
Ursa fell to the ground unable to go on as she then found Artemis sword Luthia pointed at her. Ursa glared at her former patron Goddess and friend and growled at her. "Come on… do it end it!" Ursa roared in fury against the Goddess of the Hunt. "COME ON DO IT!" She roared but was then met with something else.
*Insert Devil May Cry the Animation OST: Pain
Artemis pulled back her sword and began to weep. Ursa was shocked at what she saw and was even more shocked when Artemis fell to her knees. "Kalisto… I'm so sorry." Artemis began to break as she fell to her knees. "I'm so… so sorry that I did this to you." She began to weep leaving Ursa in shock. "That I was the source of all of your suffering." Artemis wept showing how truly broken she was deep down.
Ursa was truly at a loss for words at what Artemis was saying to her. "Everything that had happened to you, to my hunters, and to others by the act of Zeus was my fault. I simply let him do it and looked the other way every time he had done so." Artemis quivered as she looked to her former friend now turned into a Demon. "Because of me you were pregnant by Zeus, forced to run when I turned you into a bear that day… I'm so sorry." Artemis said as she looked to Ursa who began to force her body back up but only managed a sitting position.
"What you did to me that day… I can never forget… it haunts me to this very day." Ursa said as she glared at Artemis. "It is a hurt that will carry on into my grave and beyond." Ursa said as she looked to her former friend.
"I know after…. After the Temen-Ni-Gru… the full weight of my mistakes came back and haunted me." Artemis said as she looked to Kalisto. "I would take it all back if I could… but the world does not work that way." Artemis said to which Ursa… no Kalisto nodded.
*End OST
"I see… then so be it." Kalisto said grabbing the axe and sword stabbed into her. Artemis looked ready for another round only for the Demon to surprise her. She stabbed the sword deeper into her chest crying out in pain and causing ever more blood to come out pooling in the ground. She then held a firm grip of the axe and looked at Artemis dead in the eye.
"You made a vow to be better did you not? To be better for your children whom you birthed with your power and for those who would follow you into both the hunt and into the greater battles?" Ursa struggled to say as she glared at Artemis.
"Y-yes I did." Artemis said to which Ursa nodded.
"Then hold firm to that vow as you take my soul and go forth… you have my forgiveness." Kalisto said and in turn she forced the axe to slice her head off with a mighty roar of defiance. In doing so Ursa and all the blood she spilled from her wounds went off in a burst of light becoming an orb. The orb flew into Artemis hands and underwent a transformation.
Artemis shielded her eyes for but a moment before she looked to her hands and saw they had gauntlets on them. Equipped to her arms were clawed gauntlets with chains around it akin to a chain sword. The claws were moveable as if to grasp things while her hands vanished into them.
"Ursa-Kalisto." Artemis said to the new Devil Arm.
Artemis then sighed as she got ready knowing the only way out… was up. She then sent the claws upward and saw the claws were attached to chains. She used them to begin climbing upward outside the mall to the sun roof above. As she did so she had the claws dig into pillars she could grasp and continue to climb upward to the exit. She kept it up until she bashed through the window shattering the glass as she exited through.
Once Artemis was outside above she saw Demons coming at her and in turn she used her New Devil Arms to attack. She clawed at them, whipped them with the claws, and even grasp them with the claws to smash them into other demons. Once she was done she landed on the ground with glass shards reigning down around her before the demons joined in all defeated by her.
Nearby Trish was seen as she smirked to Artemis. "Impressive." Trish said as Artemis smiled to Trish before the Devil continued. "We best get a move on we still have a ways to go." Trish said as Artemis agreed.
"Very well." Artemis said as she once more began to travel with Trish as they had a hunt to finish.
(Back on Olympus)
Mundus eyes shot open as he felt a presence making its way torts Olympus. "Dante." Mundus growled for a moment before smirking. "He approaches." Mundus said as Hercules saw this. "Heracles go deal with Dante for me." Mundus said as Heracles nodded to the King of Inferno.
"It shall be done Lord Mundus." Heracles said before he took his leave of them.
"Now Dante… let us see if you still have what it takes… to face me." Mundus said as he smirked ready to exact his revenge upon Dante and all of the lineage of Sparda. It was only a matter of time for one of the Four Rulers of Inferno.
