Devil May Cry Olympus Lightning Thief
ESKK: Well here it is Chapter 17 at long last let us begin this story folks.
(Start Empire State Building Lobby)
Evan, Calisto, Evelyn, Grover, Annabeth, Percy, and Patty ran into the building and saw the security guard there for it. They then ran up to him and opted to give him the old song and dance for it as he was clearly trying to hide. "We need to get to the 600th floor of the building." Annabeth said as she ran over to him.
"Um… there isn't a floor like that." He said as Evan growled a bit before charging in and pointing Hunter at the guards head.
"Dude we're trying to get up to Olympus, save Zeus and Poseidon, return their symbols of power, take back Hades Symbol of power, and oh stop the bitch and asshole about to end the world so give us the fucking key and get out of our fucking way." Evan growled as the man put his hands up in response.
"Ok I get it but I can't the demons and angels destroyed the elevator only Mundus and Jubileus and their followers can get through now." He said to which Evelyn glared at him.
"Is there a back-up elevator?" Evelyn asked as she glared at the man.
"Y-yes but it's at the top floor but it hasn't been used in years and is out of service." He said to which Evelyn scoffed to this.
"I can handle that." She said as Calisto took the key in response.
Once they had what they needed, they left the man be as he hid under his desk to try and hide from the demons and the angels attacking the city. "Ok I got a plan." Calisto said as she spoke up. "We need to attack from three points while making sure Evelyn isn't dragged into Limbo or anything." Calisto said as she looked to them.
"So you saying we need to head into Limbo and Purgatory and guard Evelyn while Percy, Patty, Grover, and Annabeth cover her in Chaos." Evan said as Calisto nodded.
"You got it." Calisto said as Evan nodded to her.
"I got Limbo." Evan said as he got ready to be sent in.
"Obviously and I have Purgatory." Calisto said as she was the Umbra Witch of the Group and thus can open portals to either or easily.
"Limbo? Purgatory?" Percy asked to which Evan spoke up.
"Their dimensions that exist between Chaos, Inferno, and Paradiso. Limbo exists between Chaos and Inferno while Purgatory exists between Chaos and Paradiso." Evan explained as he looked to them. "Their basically access ways between the trinity to get into Chaos." Evan said as Calisto got ready to send Evan into Limbo. "Other than Witches or those with demonic blood seers, psychics, and those with a form of clear sight can see into Purgatory and Limbo otherwise you need special glasses to do it." Evan explained as they all understood.
"So in other words while the rest of us have to fight our way up one of the largest buildings in the world you two have to fight your way through mirror versions of the tower to get to the top am I right?" Percy asked to which Calisto smirked.
"That's right he can be taught!" Calisto joked as Evan then spoke up.
"We'll meet up top Evelyn don't die, don't kill my friends, and don't let them die." Evan warned as he looked to his rival who then scoffed at Evan.
"Then you stay alive." She said as thus Calisto was ready.
"Evan over here." Calisto said as traced her right index finger on the ground creating the crest for the Rift.
"Got it." Evan said as he went to the portal. "Well here we go." Evan said as he was going to enter Limbo after so many years. It was then the room began to shake as Evan looked confused for a moment. His friends didn't notice it as they began to vanish one by one. It wasn't long until the doors blasted apart as the ground began to shake beneath his feet. In turn Evan had to dodge Furniture, statues, and even the elevator itself as they flew around.
The ground began to rumble even more violently as Evan cried out in shock when the ground began to go downward. Evan held on tightly as the floor expanded and descended while the entire room and most likely the building itself began to shift and change from it. Evan held onto the ground as he tried to brace through the shift while it happened around him.
It wasn't much longer until it was done and by then Evan saw he was now lower than the ground floor right. "Oh come on!" Evan cried out as he looked up and didn't see his friends there.
"Evan!" Calisto's voice echoed as Evan looked up. "Evan where did you go!?" She cried out as Evan rolled his eyes and shot upward with his guns. When he did so Evelyn yelped in shock as did Percy and Patty as they narrowly avoided the bullets he shot.
"I'm down here!" Evan called out as he looked upward.
"How'd you get down there?" Calisto joked as Evan glared at her.
"Very funny!" Evan countered as he looked upward with a glare to his sister.
"Need help?" She called back to which Evan had a response.
"No I'm good I'll meet you guy's top side." Evan called out and thus Calisto understood.
"Got it!" She called out and thus Evan looked around to see many platforms around him.
"Now then… let's do this." Evan said as he knew he had to travel through Limbo to get to the rift at the top floor up above. As he walked though it didn't take long for Corvus, Fenrir, and Furfur to come out as they walked besides their boss and friend, Evan.
"What's the plan boss man?" Corvus asked as he looked to Evan who smirked.
"We need to get top side so we climb and fight off any fuckers that get in our way." Evan said as he looked to Corvus.
"Understood." Fenrir said while Furfur nodded to their group's leader. The group of four began to traverse through Limbo as Evan wondered why this shit place was still around.
Oh right for all of grandad Sparda's power even he knew to remove Limbo would disrupt the Trinity with cataclysmic results. As much as he hated Limbo he was just glad his dad scared the demons enough to let them know not to pull him into this realm. Plus Rodin was a help there so bonus. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the edge with a gap to the next platform being too large for them to cross.
"Dammit." Evan cursed as he saw this. "Anyone got any ideas?" Evan asked as he looked to them but Furfur then stepped up.
He then swung his arm to another spot allowing the arm to stretch and grapple onto it. He then pulled it out and thus he created a path for them to traverse. With the path now made Furfur looked to them and smiled a bit as Evan smiled back.
"Good demon." Evan said as they could not continue down their path here.
"Come on we gotta keep moving!" Corvus called out as he flew down the path as Furfur kept adding more to keep building their path.
"Way ahead of you birdbrain!" Evan called out chasing after the Demon Bird with Fenrir following close behind the hunter. But it wasn't long until they arrived at the edge to find their path impassible. "Crap." Evan cursed as he saw this situation before him.
"Wait leave this to me and the fur ball." Corvus said as he and Fenrir got ready to move out.
Corvus charged off the edge and began to produce an aura of sorts around himself. Once he did so he flapped his wings causing the aura to be left behind at a latching spot of sorts. Once he did so Fenrir charged to Evan and in turn the two began to share Demonic Power. In doing so they then charged off the ledge and appeared at the spot Corvus had marked. They repeated the move as it was clear Corvus and Fenrir acted as a sort of duo like this.
Once they landed on the next platform Evan was grinning big time at what they just did. "Heh nice!" Evan said flicking his shoulders a bit thus fixing his coat.
*Insert Devil May Cry 1 OST: Public Enemy
But as they got to the platform it wasn't long until something began to happen. "GET HIM!" As those words were spoken they appeared on the walls just as Demons akin to Porcelain Dolls shot from the ground via a black ink like substance. As they shot out of the ground they roared in fury and rage as they began to surround the group ready to kill them a Sparda.
"Great the locals." Evan said as he saw the demons. "Was starting to wonder when you jerks would show up." Evan said as he then got ready for some actions. "Alright then let's do this." Evan said doing a few test punches and then made a, bring it on, gesture to the Demons surrounding him.
"Been waiting for this!" Corvus called out releasing a burst of electricity while laughing manically.
In turn Evan took out Elysium and began to once more hack and slash his way through his opponents. Corvus flew around and provided aid as he sent out bolts of electricity to cause some damage to these demonic bastards. Fenrir jumped up and began to use his ice to create a wheel of frozen death with his body. As Fenrir launched himself at the attackers he caused many of them some damage. Furfur jumped in and swung his arms wildly as he helped fight his way through the Demons.
Clearly this group of four was making quick work of the Demons as they showed them their combined might made them unbeatable to their opponents. It wasn't long until Demons with shields appeared to which Furfur smashed them with his arms destroying their shields. Following it up Evan jumped back into the Frey and began slashing them up before performing a spin kick sending them tumbling off the ledge. "Have a nice fall!" Evan called out as he smirked down to his foe. He then took Hunter and shot a devil in the head before it could get an attack in on the young Tri-breed.
Corvus flew around sending down bolts of electricity laughing maniacally all the way. "I like my dumbass barbequed!" He laughed as he continued to fly.
Fenrir then bit down on the neck of another Devil and mauled it all the while growling. Once he did so he jumped back and roared out becoming like a blizzard freezing many demons in their feet as he passed by each of them. Once Fenrir was done he growled at his foes ready for more. The group continued the fight as Furfur then smashed a Demon into paste before Evan jumped over his shoulder. Once he did so he slashed through a flyer before Corvus grabbed him in his talons. Corvus then slung Evan forth where he then slashed a larger Demon back with Elysium.
Once Evan did this he crouched down and allowed Fenrir to jump off his back and in turn spin like a wheel of icy death. Fenrir then charge at the demon and finished it off by blasting it off the ledge where it blasted out allowing Corvus to gather up the Red Orbs rewards. "Piece of cake." Evan said as he saw his foe was beaten thanks to this.
*End OST
"Come on we need to keep moving."Fenrir said as they in turn kept up their pace knowing they had a destination to get to. Once they did so they arrived at what appeared to be the main lobby area of the Empire State Building.
When they got to the Limbo version of the lobby area Evan shrugged and began to run down the hall. The group of four took care of any demons that came there way as he knew the others had gone on ahead of Devil Hunter. "YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" Limbo roared out blocking Evan's path as Evan rolled his eyes.
"Oh come on!" Evan called out as Furfur then walked over to the wall. "What now big guy?" Evan asked only to be surprised when Furfur found a weak spot in the wall and smashed it creating a path for them.
Furfur then made a smiley face of sorts as Evan saw this and smirked. "Good boy." Evan said as he went through the path with Corvus and Fenrir following after their newly appointed boss.
The group had to fight their way through more Demons but made quick work of them as Evan knew Limbo was there home field. It wasn't long until the four got to another Elevator to which they all looked to each other and shrugged. Better than taking the stairs it seems as they stepped in and got into the Elevator.
"Careful to go up boss! Otherwise you're going to Hell!" Corvus laughed just before he, Fenrir, and Furfur returned to Evan's duster so he can get into the Elevator. Once Evan was in he pressed a button and proceeded to wait.
(Later inside the Elevator)
"Ok just gotta go up five stories and be done… yeah easy enough." Evan said as he rode the Elevator with his only company being his gear, the demon minions he had, and the Elevator music. No problem no problem at all for the hunter. Evan whistled to the tune of the music as he waited for the ride to end as Fenrir came out and began to paste back and forth getting impatient now.
Evan then sighed in frustration as he knew this was going to be a long ride now as he looked to Fenrir. "Well my icy fur ball the bird brain was right… this is hell." Evan said as he was now bored and he hated being bored in any scenario.
(Later with Evan)
Evan exited the Elevator as he stretched a bit knowing it had taken him as far as it could. "Hey you guys said you knew a short cut to Mundus." Evan said as he looked to Corvus and Fenrir who came out.
"Don't worry boss the shortcut isn't far off." Corvus said as he flew about the room.
"But there is a problem." Fenrir spoke up as he padded on by Evan.
"Ok what is it?" Evan asked as he was now a bit worried as to what this problem currently was.
"A demon guards it not by choice though." Corvus said floating about near Evan. "Get past it and the way top side will be cleared." Corvus said to which Evan smirked to the bird.
"Lead the way." Evan said and thus the demon began to lead Evan up the path to the shortcut in question.
(During all of this Calisto)
"Wow he just vanished." Percy said as he saw Evan was now gone no doubt being in Limbo right now.
"We can all see that." Evelyn scolded as Calisto began to look around concerned and worried.
"Evan!" She called out looking for her twin brother. "Evan where did you go!?" She called out trying to find him. She would have seen his phantom image here but instead she saw nothing.
"I'm down here!" Evan called out as she looked down as did everyone else.
Patty sighed as Calisto took off her glasses tapped them and passed them around. When she did so everyone saw what she could see and could see Evan down below them. "How'd you get down there?" Calisto joked as Evan glared at his sister for her quip.
"Very funny!" Evan countered as he looked upward with a glare to his sister.
"Need help?" She called back to which Evan had a response.
"No I'm good I'll meet you guy's top side." Evan called out and thus Calisto understood.
"Got it!" She called out before taking her Glasses back.
"Um you enchanted those didn't you?" Annabeth asked as she looked to Calisto.
"Yea of course I did." Calisto confirmed as she looked to the group. "Now if you'll excuse me I need to enter Purgatory." Calisto said as she then waved to the group. "See you on the other side." She said before dropping down and spinning her leg about creating the gateway into Purgatory. Once she did so everyone was once more surprised when Calisto vanished into Purgatory to help in making their way up the Empire State Building.
(With Calisto)
Calisto found herself in Purgatory as she smirked while looking around. She did a few stretches as she didn't want to pull something in here. "Ok then lets rock baby." Calisto said as she in turn entered and began her part to get to Olympus. Calisto began to make her way through the Building entering her panther form and thus leaving a trail of black flowers in her path. She made sharp turns as needed as she looked for the stairs.
It didn't take long for her to find them and in turn sigh as she knew this was going to take a while. Since the Stairs were in a room without access to moonlight she can't use her Witch Walk to make things go faster. To this Calisto only had three words to say in response to this newest struggle she now faces. "Fuck my life." Calisto sighed knowing this was going to be difficult even by her standards.
Thus Calisto began to climb upward making her way torts the top of the flight of stairs to the best of her abilities. She knew she had a trek to make but she wasn't going to give up so easily. After all if she did give up how was, she going to face her brother, father, and mother when they catch wind of her quitting. As she climbed the steps she then had to stop and steady herself when she felt the room shake causing her to look down. When she did she saw a portal appear and from it a Serpent like Angel shot out roaring out in fury. Calisto managed to dodged it and continue climbing knowing it hard press to fight in such an enclosed space here.
She didn't mind nor did she honestly care but she had a task to complete and limited time as is. There was no telling how long she had before Mundus and Jubileus were fully revived. Thus Calisto knew she had to hurry but as she ran she glanced downward and was wide eyed at what she saw down below her. The Stairs began to be filled with electrified water as Calisto knew she had to book it now and get to the nearest floor door she can get to. The water was rising fast as she knew despite her healing factor electrified water and Calisto don't mix well. As Calisto ran she ignored any of the smaller angels that came out as she saw a door coming up on her right. Once she got there she jumped in and proceeded to kick it open before running through. Once Calisto did so she sealed the door shut behind her making sure the water would not get out anytime soon.
Once Calisto was in the clear she sighed in relief and began to look around the floor. So far she found nothing as it seems the floor was clear. But that was until portals appeared and thus Angels began to appear from said portals. "Oh great the welcoming party." Calisto said as she had her guns drawn. "Well then let's get to it shall we?" The daughter of Artemis added before taking a battle stance and made a, bring it on, gesture with one of her guns.
*Insert Bayonetta OST: Mysterious Destiny
Calisto charged into the fray as the Angels did the same. Calisto smirked as she began to spin around shooting every Angels as she spun through the squad with ease. Once Calisto appeared on the other side she then bended back and spun in the air avoided an attack from two Angels with spear weapons. Once she did so Calisto used her twin swords and sliced the two assaulting angels. When she did this she landed and back flipped away showing expert skills from her years of training growing up.
She then wrapped her arms and legs around a larger Angels head before spinning her body and tearing the head off of the angelic foe. When she did this she took its weapon and threw it at the next Angel where it stabbed into the other Angels chest killing it. When she did this she jumped away and smirked when she then slashed a few more angels through the gullet slicing them all in two. From there Calisto then began to dodged and avoid attacks from two Angels called Grace and Glory. They were much like Agni and Rudra from the Temen-Ni-Gru in their style. The difference was that they knew how to shut up not that she hated the two devil arms for that.
In fact Calisto and Evan both used Agni and Rudra to annoy the hell out of their father whenever they got the chance for it. Speaking of before she could ponder more on how those two were doing she dodged another attack and activated Witch Time at the same time. She then spun kick her foe and fired off the gun on her heel when it made contact with the foe she was fighting against. Once Witch Time ended Calisto flipped away and landed nearby with a smirk on her face against her angelic foes.
Calisto then saw a few more Angels were left and thus opted to take them down as to keep moving. She in turn entered her Devil Trigger form and began an onslaught upon them with her demonic might from Sparda. In turn she used her empowered Wicked Weave all before the Angels could respond and thus they all found themselves splattered across the walls or turned into fleshy target stands.
Calisto then returned to her human form. The young Tri-Breed Umbra Witch smirked as she began to walk away as if she already won the fight. Just then another Angel came at her with spear range intent on avenging its fallen brethren. But instead all it found was a bullet to the head curtesy of Calisto as she walked by like nothing happened.
*End OST
(Meanwhile back over with Evan)
Evan soon arrived at a spot in Limp that looked like some sort of tunnel for a large air turbine. "Is this the shortcut?" Evan asked as he looked at the massive tunnel before him.
"Yeap this is it boss the only problem is how to get on through here." Corvus said as he knew Evan can't fly for long.
"Well I'm open to ideas." Evan said as he looked to it waiting for ideas. Unknown to them Furfur was already on the move as he walked over to the ledge. He then swung his arms and allowed them to stretch to the far walls. From there he began to have them enroot themselves into said wall and thus he looked to the group.
"I flip… you jump." Furfur said as in turn the group realized what Furfur was about to do to help them.
*Insert DmC Devil May Cry OST: Tic Tac (Gotta Go)
"Ok I jump you flip." Evan said as he got to the edge and turned backwards away from the ledge. When he was ready with Fenrir and Corvus Evan flipped backwards and went off the ledge and down the tunnel. When Evan began to freefall Furfur did his thing as he focused his power and extensions to modify the tunnel. The result was the tunnel turning on an axis of sorts causing Evan to slide down it on his boots. After a bit Furfur did it again allowing Evan a light jog down the tunnel. It wasn't long until Furfur did it for the last time and thus the Hunter and his wolf were now standing upright ready to sprint the rest of the way.
"Come on boss what Furry did isn't permanent, we're gonna have to print it!" Corvus called out as he flew by.
"He's right let's move!" Fenrir called out chasing after Corvus followed by Evan and Furfur, who rejoined the group.
The group in turn began to sprint down the tunnel to try and get to the shortcut Corvus knew about. The group of four ran until they were met with obstacles via Limbo trying to block their path. The group proceeded to jump their way across the platform obstacles but were then met with enemies trying to kill them all.
"KILL THEM!" Limbo roared out and thus the Demons began to attack the hunting group. Evan slashed his way through while Corvus fired off bolts of lightning to aid them. Fenrir mauled his way through the foes while Furfur smashed them all into bloody paste. As they ran Evan growled as he knew their time was short as it is if they weren't fast enough then they were all screwed.
"Come on Limbo we don't have time for this shit!" Evan called out clearly annoyed with the obstacles from Limbo. The group kept fighting their way through getting passed each layer of obstacles Limbo put in their path to stop them from proceeding on through. No doubt Mundus played a role in this but regardless they still had a problem. They continued on jumping between platforms using the push and pulls of the allies to get across easier. It wasn't long until they saw the hatch and Evan knew it was their way to freedom.
"Furry!" Evan ordered and thus Furfur slammed his arm torts the hatch and tore it open. From there the group ran straight into the hatch just in the nick of time as Limbo corrected itself. The Demons who were left behind fell into the spinning blades and thus were torn to shreds by the blades.
"Well slice and dice." Corvus quipped before laughing at his terrible pun not caring if no one else found it funny right now.
"Come on let's keep moving." Evan said as in turn the group fazed into Evan's duster before they were back to questing.
(Meanwhile back over with Calisto)
Calisto came out of another set of stairs before she found herself running pass the window. "Jeez there has got to be a faster way to do this." Calisto said knowing full well the world will already end by the time she got to the very top of the stairs. But before she could proceed further she looked outside the window when she noticed something.
In the distance she noticed something coming their way as they all had a stylized H on them. It didn't take long for Calisto to realize that those were of Hephaestus creation and to make it worse… they were large and deadly missiles coming in.
"Oh those Paranoid Olympian motherfuckers!" Calisto cursed realizing she was in trouble right now.
(Outside)
The Missiles hit their target with a few of them curving around once the first one exploded. It took out a chunk of the building where it had hit but surprisingly it was still standing. But just then one of the missiles curved away forcing the others to follow suit as if someone guided it. It wasn't long until it was away from the building that it turned torts it and began to circle the city blocks around it climbing in altitude.
*Insert Bayonetta OST: Space Harrier
But it was the leader that got the attention as standing tall atop of weapon of mass destruction was none other than Calisto. "Welcome to MY fantasy Zone!" Calisto said while she dragged the missiles into Purgatory while doing a small hip shake. In turn she used her magic to form an Umbra headset akin to a Japanese Teen Idol much like Vocaloid. "Get ready." Calisto said as if she was talking to the readers of this fic.
The missiles began to follow her guidance as they began to circle the city going torts the top of the Empire State Building. As she rode the missile it wasn't long until the Angels began to attack reminding Calisto of this old Arcade Game her dad showed them one day. Thus Calisto began to focus her power and start shooting off large shots at them. They followed a pattern as they got in her way which opted Calisto to focus on the patterns to have a better chance hitting them. The Angels were the basic forms with Ornaments flying in as well following a line like pattern in this fight. Calisto continued to fly about in the sky while she did battle showing she was an expert shot even more so then the Apollo Children.
But soon Calisto found the Angels landing on her missile and thus she was force to fight them head on. She slashed and shot them up as they came at her intent on harming her. But Calisto was too powerful for them to handle thus she proceeded to make quick work of the foes here. She ended the last one with a Torture Attack via the Iron Maiden killing the Angel instantly after being weakened. The battle progressed once more as Calisto proved to be a powerful Umbra Witch despite being so long by the standards of her teacher, Bayonetta.
As Calisto finished dealing with the Angels she continued on her path taking out any foes that came her way. Calisto noticed she was heading to the next leg of her flight as she was now right above the buildings around the Empire State Building. As she flew by for a moment she thought she had seen Percy's group through one of the many windows. For the time being she disregarded it and focused on the task currently at hand.
Thus more Angels began to attack opting Calisto to spin out of the line of fire and thus return fire. It was clear this scenario was following a cycle of sorts as Calisto fight off the Angels that attack and the ones that managed to land on her rocket ride. But it wasn't long until Calisto made the rocket take a sharp turn up the building torts the roof area. While doing thus Calisto smirked as she kept going higher and higher feeling the wind blow against her face. Clearly the daughter of Artemis was having the time of her life and that's not factoring in her blood from Sparda. It want long until Calisto passed her mark and was now high in the sky above high above Manhattan itself.
Once she was high enough she took a sharp u turn and went downward just in time for a Portal like halo to appear. From the portal a familiar Angel began to come out glaring at Calisto. It was none other than the Audito Temperantia who had returned for vengeance.
"Grandchild of Sparda prepare thyself for." Temperantia began only to go wide eyed when he saw the rocket coming at him. "Oops." He gasped and then cried out in pain as he was blasted headfirst with a powerful Olympian rocket. Calisto came out of the smoke unharmed while summersaulting in the air. Once she landed on the roof she smirked seeing she had made it.
As she came down she opened a portal between Purgatory and Chaos and thus returned to the realm of Chaos to wait for her friends to arrive. "And she sticks the landing." Calisto said with a cocky smirk evident on her face. "Now to wait for the others." She said as she headed to the nearest spot and sat on it to wait it out.
(Meanwhile during this Percy's group)
The group was running down a hall way to get to the next flight of stairs. As they ran though it was clearly Evelyn was doing most of the work making quick work of any demons that came their way. "Ok having muscle like her kind of makes our purpose here mute." Annabeth confessed as Evelyn paid her no mind.
"Guys focus on the task at hand!" Patty called out shooting up another demon.
AS they passed by a hall with windows to the city the group save for Evelyn gasped in shock when they saw a missile fly by. "What the hell was that?" Percy asked as he saw it.
"If I had to guess… Calisto." Patty said knowing full well how crazy Calisto can get at times here.
"Come we're almost to the top." Evelyn said knowing do to the demons and monsters in their path the assentation up the building was taking less time than it normal did. Agreeing to the Tri-Breed they kept their paste up knowing they had to move less they find themselves caught by surprised or too late.
(Meanwhile back with Evan's group)
Evan kicked down a grate and jumped down from it to find himself in the oddest of areas. It looked like an Olympian Temple of sorts or at least the ruins of one. "Hey boys is this the place?" Evan asked as he looked around the temple in question here.
"Yeah problem is it's guarded by a major dick called Hydra." Corvus said while flying around. "He was told to guard this place from intruders by Mundus especially after a member of the Cerberus Tribe failed to guard the Temen-Ni-Gru. The Hydra and Cerberus tribes have been at each other's throats for centuries. Might get some brownie points since your pops killed one of them and subjugated its soul." Corvus explained as he looked to Evan from his shoulder perch.
"Good to know." Evan said ready to kick some ass where he took notice to a Gates of Hell Portal. Knowing Rodin Evan knew that his go to weapon smith puts these portals up at the oddest of locations somehow. Evan knew he had reasons for it but right now just didn't care for them.
In turn Evan began to make his way across the stone bridge torts the path. Before him was a door way to a portal of sorts. He couldn't get a good glimpse of it because of the doors and because of what stalwart guarded it. As Evan got to the doors he proceeded to enter through the gap between them and found himself in a large room with one other. The foe was a large four legged creature with scales covering its body like armor. Its legs were topped off with claws and talons, it had two tails holding the rear of its massive body. But that was where we came to the reason it was called Hydra as it did not have one but FIVE heads attached to five longs snake like necks. It was in chains while covered in stone suggesting it was either sealed here or locked away in this hell scape.
*Insert Devil May Cry 3 OST: Suffer (Cerberus Boss Theme)
As Evan walked forth the five sets of eyes began to glow as the open maws proceeded to release a hellish fire from them. The middle head produced fire and when it did the other four heads followed suit each with a different colored flame. The stone began to crack and break as the creature it depicted began to move and free itself from it. In turn with a mighty roar Hydra freed himself and glared down upon the Tri-Breed.
Hydra's eyes then all glared down upon Evan as the Demon glared at the Tri-Breed. He then charged at Evan as the chains help him back no doubt for an intimidation method of sorts here. Evan was of course still smirking despite a multi headed demon before him wanting to tear Evan limb from limb.
"PUTRID MONGREL YOUR KIND IS NOT WELCOMED HERE!" One of the heads roared out as flames leaked out from the maw in question.
"ONLY THOSE RECOGNIZED BY THE DEMON KING ARE ALLOWED ACCESS!" Another head roared out as Evan saw that the demon was currently in chains still.
"LEAVE NOW!" Another roared out in fury as Evan and his crew heard it threat.
"OR SUFFER OUR WRATH!" The fourth head threatened while they all glared at Evan with intense hatred.
"Wow a talking gecko." Evan taunted Hydra as he began to past back and forth. "Tell me man ever met Godzilla or were you too small to be a kaiju." He further taunted causing Hydra to roar out in fury.
"YOU DARK MOCK US MUTT!" Hydra's final head roared in fury while glaring at Evan.
"Sure sounded like he did!" Corvus laughed as he flew around the area with Fenrir and Furfur coming out next. "Got a problem with that scaly?!" Corvus taunted further which served to anger Hydra more.
Hydra in response roared in such fury fire shot out like a storm torts Evan. Corvus flew out of the way with Fenrir jumping away while Furfur went flat on the ground. Evan of course jumped out of the way and when he did he saw Limbo blocking his exit. Evan smirked in response when he saw this before directing his attention to the Demon.
"Well then." Evan began as he began to send out a few taunting test punches. "Let's do this." Evan said before making a 'bring it on,' gesture to the Demon.
And thus the battle began as Hydra started by charging at Evan head on. Evan of course dodged the attack and used Corvus to enhance his jump before shooting the demon Hydra with his guns. Hydra fired off a fireball at Evan who was then helped up by Fenrir who jumped in and got him out of the attacks way.
"Thanks buddy!" Evan called out once they landed as he glared at the massive Demon.
"This demon is powerful we must exercise caution!" Fenrir called out as Evan smirked to him.
"Don't worry I got this!" Evan called out as he then charged into the battle against Hydra. Evan then slid to the center stage and made a taunting gesture.
"Hey ugly over here!" Evan called out as the Hydra glared at him. The center head then charged at Evan and in turn Evan made a salute look to his allies. The minute he did so the Hydra chomped down on him and swallowed.
"Boss!" Corvus cried out as the Hydra roared out in victory. Just then the center head went wide eyed as the four other heads looked to their leader in shock. The five then looked at the center heads neck and saw it convulsing from the inside.
"Um did you chew?" The left head asked as he had a bad feeling about this.
The answer came with Elysium's blade shooting out of the neck and slicing it off. Evan came out but he wasn't done as he began jumping between the heads chopping them off one by one. Once the last head had fallen Evan landed on the ground and smirked at his victory. "Am I good or am I good?" Evan asked clearly getting a head of himself not realizing why this Demon was called 'Hydra,' and the meaning behind it. The body fell limp as it looked very much dead after Evan decapitated the heads.
"Way to go boss!" Corvus praised as he flew around Evan at their apparent victory.
"Come on let's use that short cut and." Evan began only to hear movement from the corpse of the demon.
"That's not a good sign." Corvus said as he looked to the corpse with the rest of their ragtag group.
"It's not because of what happens when you cut off one of the heads of a hydra!" Fenrir roared out as in turn a white enzyme began to form on the stumps. From these stumps two more heads took the place of the ones that were lost resulting in 10 heads in all.
"Oh crap." Evan cursed realizing he dropped the ball on this one.
"That's right cut off one head two more take its place!" Fenrir called out as the now ten headed demon stood tall ready to fight.
In turn all 10 of Hydra's head's went for the attack opting Evan to dodge. Evan moved as he avoided the attacks from the 10 heads which was difficult seeing as they can ALL breathe fire. "Jeez hot enough for you?!" Evan quipped as he avoided the demon Hydra's attacks. Evan then got to cover as Furfur helped by becoming a massive fire absorbing shield. The battle progressed as Evan then went for the attack and began going for the main body hoping if he can get the heart then his foe will stay dead. As Evan began his attacks Corvus flew overhead and began to rain down thunder upon Hydra. Fenrir came up next and went for the heads and began biting off the Hydra's eyes.
Corvus joined in as he began flying at each of the eyes using his talons and beak to blind each of the heads. This went on until the muscle Furfur came in and began slamming Hydra's main body with his massive spiked hands. Hydra then released a blast of fire knocking all of his foes back from it. When they landed Hydra began walking around the battlefield releasing torrents of flames from some of the heads. The other heads went on to getting physical with their oncoming attacks.
"Guys I have an idea!" Evan called out as he looked to Fenrir. "Ever seen Disney's Hercules?" Evan asked as in turn the group got the gist of it. If they can't kill it or seal the stumps then they'll crush the demon Hydra here. In turn the group charged in and in turn Evan tried to keep Hydra's focus on him while the others got out of the way. Evan in turn had to dodge and avoid the Hydra's attacks as he made sure that all 10 heads were solely focused on him alone. Thus Evan found himself sliding and running across the Hydra's neck as it tried to get a bite out of the young tri-breed.
Evan then saw one of them bite the others neck by accident trying to get him making Evan laugh in response. "Friendly bite!" Evan taunted as he avoided a few more attacks. It wasn't long until Evan felt a tongue lash at his leg and lift him off the ground with a yelp. Evan flew in the air for a bit before he found himself pinned to the far wall.
Hydra glared at Evan as the Demon looked ready to eat now. "Any last word boy?" The Demon asked as Evan then smirked to his foe here.
"Yeah two words. Look up." Evan said and thus the Hydra was caught off guard when he saw the three minions to Evan above him.
"Bombs away!" Corvus called out and thus Furfur hit the structure hard enough to bring down the house. Boulders began to fall from above as Hydra was unable to dodge them all as each of his heads were hit. From the looks of it the three demons had made them into spikes of sorts and thus Hydra was unable to live long to regret his lack of attention to all of his enemies at large.
Evan got free from Hydra's grip fast and was in turn helped by Corvus and Fenrir. "Got you!" Fenrir called out as he pulled Evan to safety where he saw the boulders piling down Hydra. Soon all that was left was a large pile of stone and boulders with Hydra's blood pooling at the bottom of this pile.
*End OST
Once the group landed Evan smirked as he saw their foe was finally beaten. "Not bad reptile but better luck next time." Evan said before he began to walk away. But as he did he all of a sudden stopped as he looked to the pile of boulders and blood. Evan took note of a demonic energy coming from it and smirked before reaching out with his hand to it. When he did so the demonic energy flew torts his outstretched hand and began to take a brand new form.
Once the light of infernal fire died down Evan saw in his hands were two massive Chakram's with the design of Hydra etched into it. As Evan looked it over he gave his newest of Devil Arms a good spin in his hands just to get the feel for them. Once Evan got it he then smirked as his three followers stepped back to give Evan some room to move. Thus now that he had the room Evan got into action as he in turn began to throw the chakrams around as they spun in the air slicing through everything like a demonic buzz saw.
As the weapons were thrown about if one had a keen eye or could slow down time enough the chakrams split into two more of its kind. As it flew about the split also split into two more powerful chakrams. Soon Evan spread his arms out as the two weapons returned to what they were and hovered there for but a moment. Evan then wiled it to fly around him creating a tornado of fire before they returned to his hands which he caught allowing the flow to blast out. Once the fire was gone Evan was seen striking a pose as he then smirked and put the Devil Arms away.
"To easy." Evan said as he saw their way was clear. Evan walked over to it and then smirked as it began to glow allowing Evan and his three demonic minions passage up top. "Get ready Mundus it's just you and me now." Evan said knowing he owed Mundus payback for what he did.
(Meanwhile with Mundus on Olympus)
Mundus had witnessed the failure of Hydra and knew the children of Sparda and the Demigods were no the way here now. He then glared at the scene as he saw Zeus and Poseidon smirking at Mundus and the failures of his many demonic minions. "Very well." Mundus said as he knew Calisto would be focused on Jubileus. "Let us see what you have. Me the King of the Demon World or you two worthless pieces of shit." Mundus said as he was not going to let himself be bested by anymore Sparda's ever again.
All the while Mundus was plotting and scheming he failed to realized that through the Hearth Hestia was observing and providing information to Hermes to deliver it to the other gods. She had to protect her family and most of all had to ensure Evan and Calisto makes it through. Artemis had asked her long ago to keep an eye on the twins with the hunter's aid and needless to say despite Dante's antics nary had she ever seen such love from a father to his children.
Sure he takes advantage of the fact he's a single father to help with his money problem it didn't stop her from seeing the love Dante had for his kids. How does she know you might ask? Well recent times TV has become the new Hearth of the world and since families all over gather in front of it Hestia managed to make it a part of her domain of family and hearth. Hestia only hoped the group of heroes were ready to save not only Olympus but the world as well.
