Chapter 7: Meet The Son Of Sparda!
Last time, our heroine, Jill Valentine had been infected by the T-Virus by the B.O.W. Nemesis, and then, a Slimgernon Demon named Leerah merged with Jill and gave her the power of a Demon to fight her way out of Raccoon City and save any survivors along the way. As she fought her way through numerous waves of Demons, she ran into a boy named Max Evans who has been trying to get his friends out of the Zombie infested town and fast. Along the way, Jill has already beaten Slithernom, Phantom, Fujin, Raijin, Roarnon the spirit tiger and thei minions. Krorodu, the former apprentice of Rovokado, had found his steed Spiritblitz and Jill took Max into the RPD building where they saw Lycaon the Wolf God of Greek Mythology. Dante, the Son of Sparda went with the people he rescued, including Katie Foster who he's helping get back her sword, Belmont. And at the RPD station, Jill and Max meet Leon Kennedy, who is looking for Sherry and Claire, but is not having any luck. Now, back to our story...
After dealing with Lycaon and getting him as a devil arm, Jill, Max and Leon went downstairs from the helipad. "Hurry it up guys, we need to rendezvous with Carlos." Jill said, 'I hope he's alright.' she thought to herself.
They all raced down while Max slid on the railing, and shot down a few Zombies that were in the way. That was when Jason contacted her on the radio. "Jill, what's your status?" Jason asked, wondering what's up.
Jill got out her radio and spoke into it. "Jason, good news, we just defeated Lycaon and gained a new devil arm." Jill said to the leader of the Knights of Raccoon City. "Bad news is, I think he's putting the moves on me." she said, dryly.
Jason was a little disgruntled. "Um...Not sure what to say at this moment." he said.
Max then spoke into the radio, "The other good news is, we ran into a rookie cop along the way." he said, "We'll bring him to the motorhome soon."
Jason was thrilled to know that there was another surviving RPD cop in the city. "Excellent! The more the merrier!"
They soon raced to where Carlos was originally only to find he wasn't there. "Huh? What the?" asked Jill.
Max looked all around as well. "He's not here?" he asked himself.
"Carlos, you there?" Leon asked, talking into his radio.
"I'm here, man." Carlos replied, also speaking through the radio. "What's up?"
Leon sighed, "Where the hell are you?" Leon asked, wondering where he went.
Jill added to this, "Yeah, we're at the back area of the building, and we can't see you!"
"Oh, you guys must have just missed me." Carlos said, informing them where he was now. "I had to move to the far side of the police station. Zombies and Demons everywhere, man." Carlos saw more of the Zombies and began firing his assault rifle. *BUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDA* they could hear the sound of his gun, firing at the Zombies and Demons that came his way. "I'll meet you guys back at the church after I make my own path." Carlos said, doing a war cry.
Jill sighed in annoyance at this and remembered who was tailing her. "As long as you avoid that giant, I'm fine with it." she said to him.
"Got it! Over and out!" he said, before returning his attention to the monsters that were in his way. "You want some of me, come get some!" said Carlos, firing his assault rifle again.
The radio soon went silent, leaving Jill, Max and Leon to themselves and the devil arms. "Alright guys, come on, let's go." Leon said, taking off for the church.
The two of them nodded together and Max halted him for a second. "But first we need to get to the motorhome." Max said, running up to him.
Leon sighed, but agreed. "Alright, lead the way, guys." he said, smiling and nodding.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the town, Dante and his bunch continued to navigate through the streets with Ravi and Jean at the wheel, Jean was driving while Ravi held the map while they mowed down Zombies along the way.
"Wow, Mrs. Armstrong, you're driving is astounding!" said Ravi, congratulating Jean. "And you mowed down those Zombies with ease!" he gave her the thumbs up.
"Thank you Ravi." Jean said to him, "And please, call me Jean."
"Oh, right." Ravi corrected himself. He then pointed to a spot on the map and gave her the instructions, "Turn to the right at the third intersection. Then at the next one on that end, skip the first intersection then go left at the next one."
"Righto." said Jean.
(A/N: That was a short reference to a puzzle of the sewer level in the 2000 Spider-Man video game on PS1 which I have played before. Personally I prefer the Dreamcast version cause the graphics were much better than the PS1 version. That and I loved the way Black Cat was dancing in the game in What If? Mode and at the final cutscene. It was so hot.)
While Ravi and Jean were navigating the streets, taking down zombies along the way, Dante went into the bedroom and Elza went with him and they began having a conversation.
Elza then asked, "So, Dante, tell me about yourself. What happened when you were a kid?"
Dante and Elza were talking about Dante's past. "Well, it's like this." he started off. "My father, Sparda, had disappeared after sealing the door between Earth and the Underworld, but after that, my brother Vergil had gone out to play but then several Demons attacked and they set fire to our house in Red Grave City." Hearing this shocked Elza to her core, she had never met someone who had a tragic past like that before. "And then after my mother placed me in the closet where I'd be safe, she went to look for Vergil." Dante said, wincing.
The motorcyclist could tell that he was sad about it. "And what happened after that?" Elza asked, hoping to be of help to Dante.
"She never came back. She was killed by the Demons." Dante admitted to her, she gasped in fright.
"The thing he didn't know is, she tried to save him to until it killed her." Dante said, wincing at the memory of Eva's scream. Elza hugged Dante tight, reminding him of the missing thing in the world; people who care about him the most. A knock on the door got their attention. "Hi there, c-c-can I come in?" Joey asked nervously, opening the door.
"Sure, she's all yours." Dante said, walking out, leaving Joey and Elza alone. Joey shut the door and sat on the bed. "Is something wrong, Joey?" Elza said, furrowing her brow.
He tried to put it all out of his mind, but could still get flashes about the psychos who nearly had him and his friends killed. "Oh, it's just...after those damn psychos who cornered us, before shooting Nigel Kasady dead, I..." he was a little hesitant at first. "I...I...What I'm trying to say is..." he then felt Elza's hand on his shoulder, as she sat down next to him.
"It's okay. Just take a deep breath and say what's on your mind." she said, giving him good advice.
Joey then did what he was told to do and took a deep breath, regaining his composure and he could finally say what had been bugging him the most out of tonight. "I was trying to say that I decided I do not want to die a virgin." Joey said, baring his teeth in brooding anger and sadness. The tears went down his face and then
Elza got closer to him, placing her hand on his. "Is that what you were saying? You don't want to die without someone taking your virginity?" she asked.
"Yeah!" he nodded.
Having a thoughtful look on her face, Elza then got a mischievous grin on her lips. "Don't worry, JoJo. You don't have to die a virgin." she said, embracing him. "I'll give you MY virginity and you can give me yours. After you saved my life, you deserve a reward." she said, huskily as both laid on the bed.
They soon connected their lips and allowing their emotions to flow through via their tears. As if sensing it, Dante looked back, smiling at the two. 'No doubt about it, those two will have quite the future one day.' Dante thought to himself, pleased with Joey. 'Good luck, JoJo...You're gonna need it.' he then walked back into the lounge section of the motorhome.
As the former S.T.A.R.S. member got Max and Leon out of the building, they saw Cat, Larry and Harry who were firing away at the Spidrosus demons and Crimgoyles as they made their way along the path Jill had made.
Cat fired her gun at a Crimgoyle and shot it so much it turned to stone. Harry and Larry both did a double whammy and broke it into two. "Damn, these things are like fucking cockroaches!"
"You got that right!" said Jason, agreeing with what Cat had said.
Jill soon saw the motorhome and told Leon and Max, "We're almost there! Try to keep up!" she ordered. She ran fast enough to intercept the Spidrosus and Crimgoyles with Leon and Max trying to catch up. Max slashed through the Demons and shot some in the heads while Leon used an acid grenade on the Demons, making them melt into slag. The fighting was soon over, they had won.
Once Jill, Max and Leon got on board, "Jason, step on it!" instructed Max. And so, Jason revved up the motorhome and they got away from the police station again. "Phew, that was close!" Max said.
"Yeah, I didn't think you guys would make it." said Lloyd, before he turned his attention to the guy they brought with them. "And who's this?" he wondered.
Max then introduced Leon to the Knights. "Oh, where are my manners?" he said. "Leon, this is Jason Morikawa, Catherine Weaver, Harry and Larry, the Harrell twins, Kim Weaver, Cat's cousin, Jack Richmond and Lloyd Woods, the Knights of Raccoon City." Max introduced them to the rookie cop. "Guys, this is Leon Kennedy, Raccoon Police Officer."
"Hi Leon!" they all said in unison.
Leon waved at all of them. "It's nice to meet you all." Leon said, sitting down. "So, what are your hobbies?" he asked, hoping he wouldn't regret it.
"Oh, we do Live Action Role Play or L.A.R.P. for short." Max said, smiling.
The rookie cop was wide-eyed in shock and said, "I remember doing that when I was a kid. And to this day, I still have many wonderful memories of it." he said. Leon then turned his attention to the one in the yellow vest, "And you must be Brad Vickers, former pilot for the S.T.A.R.S. unit."
Brad nodded to confirm that. "Yep, guilty as charged." he joked a little bit. "Sorry I didn't wake up and warn you any sooner."
"It's alright with me." Leon replied.
"In any event, shall we go?" Brad asked, getting in the driver's seat.
"By all means." he allowed Brad to do so and Leon sat down in a different seat.
Max said, getting Leon's attention, "We need to find my friends first." he told him, making him turn his head around to him. "They've been missing and I feel as though they might be in danger." Max said, imploring Leon to help.
"What are their names?" Leon asked, ready to help in any way he can.
Max then showed an image of him and his friends when they were freshmen in High School, "Luke Crossroad, Bartholomew 'Bart' Fielding, Maria Gray and Jennifer 'Jen' Maza." Max said, identifying his friends.
Leon then looked at the photo and knowing that he couldn't allow himself to abandon a bunch of kids in need of help out of a really big batch of trouble. "Alright then, I'll do what I can to help." he added, before he started looking to Brad. "Vickers, step on it." he ordered.
"Right away, Leon!" Brad did as he was asked and stepped on it, getting the motorhome moving. Before they can link up with Carlos at the church, they needed to find Max's friends Luke, Bart, Maria and Jen before something horrible happens to them.
As this was happening, Korodu and kept riding on Stormblitz and spotted some more Zombies. He mowed them down with Stormblitz's powerful speed and she scorched them to where they were nothing but bones and such. 'Why the hell would my former mentor do this?' he thought to himself, with a sense of dread that filled his mind. 'And how could he turn his back on everything I ever believed in?' he thought to himself.
'Is something on your mind, Korodu?' asked Stormblitz.
Korodu looked at her and said, "Oh, just lost in thought about why my former mentor would use my invention to kill all humanity."
This made Stormblitz a little concerned for her rider. 'Oh, don't worry about it Korodu.' she told him. 'If anything happens, I'll be there for you.'
"Thank you." Korodu smiled at her. "You're the best horse a rider could ever have."
'Thanks.' said Stormblitz, as they kept charging down the path.
After hearing Max story about the incident in Seattle, they all gasped in shock. "And that brings us up to date." he told them.
Jill cupped her chin, "Hmmm, so you guys had an incident involving a girl named Harriet Maverick." she wondered. "And after that, you went on vacation for a month and had to learn to survive on your own after getting separated from them."
Jack then said, "And you also used to have the hots for Harriet?" he asked him. Max nodded.
Leon began giving the rundown to everyone present and they were all stunned by what he had told them. "So you see, at the same time the outbreak was happening, Demons were somehow appearing without warning." he said to them. "And Hell, Brian Irons murdered the mayor's daughter in cold blood." Leon said, snarling at the lie Irons told him, failing to save her miserably. Archangel worried for Leon's mental state entirely.
"Shit! That guy is a FAREAK!" he ranted. "So what happened after that?" he asked, wondering where the rundown was going.
The rookie cop continued his story. "I met up with Carlos, after he killed one of those red lizard demons." Leon said, sighing heavily.
Phantom was eager to listen to the rest. "The red Lizard demons were of the Reptodile class." he told him. "What happened next."
"After that, we met up with a demon knight named Lok." Leon said, causing Leerah to perk up at the name entirely. This caused him to look at the Slimegernon, who was fantasizing about the name he said. "What's her issue?" he asked, wondering if Lok did something.
"Oh, Lok is a good friend of Leerah's and I think she's in love with him." Jill said, smiling as she told him.
This made Leon smile too. "Makes sense to me." Leon said, mentioning about a guy who killed Lickers easily.
Rawhide then began remembering about who he was talking about during his encounter with the Lickers. "The man with white hair you saw, could you describe this man to us? Please?" he asked, hoping to understand Leon perfectly.
"Sure." said Leon. "He had spikey white hair, was dressed in a blue coat and carried a katana he called Yamato." he answered.
The Devil Arms all gasped in shock and Leon was left wondering if they knew him. Phantom began sweating beads, confusing everyone in the vehicle. "That was Vergil." Revenant said, clenching his fists tight.
The Knights all wondered who he was. "Oh, Vergil is one of the Sons of Sparda, the other is Dante. Plus, he's Dante's twin brother." Max said, gaining gasps from the other knights.
Phantom soon screamed "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!", in horror prompting Hellhound to smack him with his paw to shut him up.
"Shut it Phantom, you trying to blow our cover to the Zombies?!" Hellhound barked at him. But he then got a little bit shocked by Raijin.
It was then that Raijin held Phantom close to her, after tasering Hellhound for his trouble. "It's not his fault, Hellhound." she said, reassuring him. "Sorry for the shock."
"It's understandable." said Hellhound, as he grumbled a little bit before laying down.
Leon then turned his attention to Max. "Max, what are you and your friends doing here?" he asked, hoping for an explanation.
Max was a little hesitant about telling them this, but he told all of them about the incident. "We came here after an incident." he said, sweating.
Lok was searching for a very important book, being the library in the police station, and finally found it, an azure book with silver tips and borders with a portrait of a woman on the center of the book. Under the portrait was the name "Elise Hart", the original devil huntress who fought alongside Sparda during the American revolution.
He opened it, seeing her descendants' entries from over the years. He soon reached an entry on a girl named Katelyn Foster. He read the entry about how her mother gave her a sword named Belmont and perished in a fire caused by a demon name Shonfeng. "Shonfeng…" Lok snarled, recognizing him as one of Shoronok's disciples.
"You must be the target of Michael Fudo's rage alongside Al." Lok deduced, hearing footsteps. They were too heavy to be normal sized humans. Lok turned around in time to see a large figure charge right through the wall. At first glance, it looked like a human detective but its height, strength and face, alongside its eyes, made it semi-monstrous.
This was a Tyrant, the end result of the T-virus. This wasn't any Tyrant but the T-00, also known as Mr. X by Leon Kennedy. The tyrant charged at him, throwing a punch, but it had little effect aside from annoyance. Lok soon retaliated, barrage of rapid-fire punches caused internal bleeding in Mr. X, prompting him to counterattack immediately.
Sadly, Lok's demonic power and rage was too much, prompting Mr. X to retreat and regroup. "And don't come back, whoever the hell you are." Lok said, calming himself just as quickly. He soon exited the library, book in hand, and contacted Carlos. "Carlos, I fought against
"Damn, Lok! Looks like I missed out on that." said Carlos. "I'm heading back to the Saint Michael Clock Tower to meet up with Jill." he added, firing his gun at random demons. *BUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDA* The sound could be heard over the radio.
"Alright then, I'm meeting up with an ally of mine." Lok said, walking to the lobby of the police station.
"Alright, take care. I'll meet up with you later, Carlos out." Carlos said, hanging up.
Lok soon bolted out of the police station and went to meet up with his ally, Drake, slaying some demons along the way. 'Shoronok, your madness has condemned far too many lives.' Lok thought as he zoomed out of the building. Little did he know, Nemesis had saw him zoomed past him and he stomped that direction.
"RAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!" he roared.
Meanwhile, Ravi and Jean made another turn on the next street, spotting a few more survivors near an abandoned umbrella facility. Outside of it, Oozegears, Spidrosus and several Lickers running around.
"Hey, Jean, stop here." asked Katie.
Jean stopped the motorhome, allowing Dante and Katie to prepare themselves. "Why are we even here?" asked Jean.
"Yeah, this is an Umbrella facility." said Lionel.
"It's not in use, maybe we can raid it for anything useful." said Joey.
Lionel looked at Joey and said, "You sure? I never thought we'd be raiding from those bastards." he wondered.
"Sounds good to me." said Chase. get off and help out, with Dante grabbing a makeshift sword and handing it to Katie.
Dante went into his devil trigger, overwhelming the Oozegears with ease. Katie slashes down the lickers, killing the last one as she was smacked across the ground. She turned to see a Spidrosus charging at her, only to be shot dead by the survivors' combined gunshots. A man offered his hand, helping her up. "You alright?" he asked her, feeling concerned. He had groomed brown hair, hazel eyes and Caucasian skin. He was dressed in a Raccoon University Varsity jacket that was red and silver, denim jeans, a tan belt and white sneakers. She nodded, confirming that she was fine. "So, what's your name?" He asked, feeling curious.
"Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn Foster. But my friends call me Katie." Katie introduced herself.
The young man smiled. "Oh, Hi Katie, the name's Samuel Jordan but you can call me Sam if you want to." Sam said, pointing to himself.
After looking at how Sam looked in her eyes, she blushed a little bit. "Hi Sam." she said.
"Oh, the others are January Van Sant, or Jan for short, Valerie Harmon, Tyrone Henry, Martin Sandwich and Becca Woolett." Sam said, introducing the rest of his group to Katie. "Guys, this is Katie Foster."
"Yo." said Tyrone. He was a built young man who was of African-American descent and he had short black hair. He wore a teal and dark green-blue plaid shirt, knee-length dark shorts with a silver pattern going down the sides of his legs and on the back pockets of his shorts.
"Uh...Hi." Martin said, feeling a little sheepish. Martin had curly black hair and was dressed in a blue opened up shirt a gray t-shirt, denim jeans and gray and white sneakers. He also had a brown backpack
"Well, howdy do there, sugarcube." said Becca in a southern accent, tipping her hat. Becca was dressed in a magenta plaid shirt that was tied at the bottom, she showed off her midriff and she also had Daisy Duke-styled shorts that were once jeans, but she cut the legs off and Cowgirl boots. Her hair was long and blonde and her eyes were blue.
"Nice to meet you Katie." Valerie said, shaking hands with her. Valerie looked to be around Katie's age and had long dark hair that was in a braid, glasses and was dressed in a yellow hoodie sweater, a white button-up shirt, blue jeans and golden yellow and white shoes and a tan backpack.
"Sup?" said Jan, making the peace sign. She was dressed in a pair of black leather pants, black boots, a short sleeved gray t-shirt that had her belly button showing, due to her loving to flaunt her skin a little bit and a black vest. She was a platinum blonde young woman and had a bit of a bad girl image.
(A/N: For those of you who don't know who these people are, they are not OC's I made up. They are from Resident Evil: Resistance, an asymmetrical survival horror game developed by Capcom and bundled with the Resident Evil 3 Remake. I felt like bringing them into this.)
"Hi there." she said to them. "So, what happened to you, guys?" Katie asked.
"Well, we were in this place even before the outbreak happened." said Sam, telling her about their horrifying experience. "Umbrella's founder, Oswell E. Spencer, hired someone to bring us here." he added, bringing up Oswell E. Spencer.
This made the red and black haired Cambion gasp in shock. "Spencer!?" she asked in horror, receiving collective nods from Sam and the others. "What did he do?" Katie asked, confused.
The lot of them all looked on "He had abducted from our homes, without our consent." Sam said, clenching his fist tight. That was when they saw Dante in his demon form and pointed their guns at him. "What the fuck is that!?" he asked, feeling frightened.
Katie intervened, telling them "Stop! Don't shoot him!" she told them. "He's with me." she added.
Dante exited his demon form, showing his real face. Hi there." he waved to them.
The lot of them slightly lowered their guns and Katie then introduced them to him, "Sam, Tyrone, Martin, Becca, Jan, Valerie, I'd like you to meet Dante." she said to them, introducing the group to him.
Jan and Becca were awestruck at Dante, so much so, they couldn't keep their eyes off of him.
It was then that Becca whispered to Jan, "Jan, am I crazy or is Dante kinda hot?"
"He sure is." Jan said, feeling impressed by Dante's abs.
Whereas Val was confused as to how he went back to his human form when he was in his devil trigger. "Nice to meet you all. Come on, let's go." Dante said, pointing them to the motorhome. "Let's head back and then we'll give you the rundown." he added, walking to it.
"Yeah, we're getting out of here." said Katie. "You should do the same."
Sam and the others all looked at each other. "Alright." he said, directing the others to follow him and they all walked with them to the RV.
While making their way through the streets in the RV, Leon tells the Knights, Jill, Max and the Devil Arms about the whole situation involving Mr. X and the Demons running lose. Jill and the others all gathered around to hear him out.
Max spoke up first, "So, Leon, how did you get mixed up in this?" he asked.
As he sighed, Leon replied, "You guys wouldn't believe the night I have had."
"What's up?" Rawhide asked, tipping his hat up.
"Well, it's like this. Tonight was going to be my first day on the job." Leon said, clenching his fist. Flashes of the "Welcome, Leon S. Kennedy" sign hanging in the lobby room as well as Marvin Branagh surged through his mind. Everyone looked confused for a time. "I was going to be the newest member of the S.T.A.R.S. unit, but then they disbanded and I was put on the full force."
Jason and the others all looked at each other collectively. "So, you're a rookie cop? Damn." he said.
Leon nodded. "And yet this outbreak happens on the day I arrived." he said, mentioning this as well. "Today was supposed to be my first day on the job."
"Some first day." said Cat.
"Then what?" asked Hellhound.
It was at that moment Leon pieced it together and then brought up his meeting Claire. "I heard a commotion coming from the gas station near the highway and saw this girl who looked around Max's age, Claire Redfield."
This made Jill gasp a little bit, and Cat wondered, "What was this girl doing here?" she asked. "She should be at home instead of this godforsaken place."
"She told me she was looking for her brother, Chris Redfield, when she came to Raccoon City." he added.
This began causing Max to wonder. "Jill, were you and Chris close?" Max said, curious.
Jill nodded and told Max, "Chris and I were partners in S.T.A.R.S Alpha Team under Captain Albert Wesker." she said, hissing at the name of Wesker. "The very same man who murdered Max's parents prior to all this."
Leon gasped at this news, "Wesker killed your parents? When?" he asked.
"It was when I was 13 years old." he relayed his backstory to Leon. "He cause their car to wreck and when he found out I was still alive, he tried to finish me off, but then someone startled him and he ran off. After that I never saw him again." he said, pulling out a photo of his parents. His mom was in a sundress and had long dark hair and emerald green eyes while his dad was dressed in a suit and his hair was brown and he had blue eyes. Max felt some tears coming down his face, but then, Archangel wrapped her spiritual arms around him, stroking his head.
Jack turned his attention to Jill and spoke up. "So, did you date Chris before?" he asked, only to get an elbow in the ribs. "Oww...what was that for, Kim?" he asked.
"You really need to show some respect for her privacy." she scolded her boyfriend. Kim respected others' privacies and was not going to let Jack have his way that easy as she huffed at him, making him feel defeated.
Leerah, on the other hand, is thinking more about Lok. 'Oh Lok, I wish you were here right now' she thought, as she felt sad. Archangel was done embracing Max and went and hugged Leerah like a younger sister as Hellhound nudged his head against Leerah.
Hellhound nudged Jill, prompting her to pet him. "You're a good boy, Hellhound." she said, petting his head, making him lick her face. "Hahahahaha, that tickles."
Korodu and Stormblitz charged down the road, slaying demons and infected alike, when he spotted more Spidrosis and Oozegears rampaging. Using the prosthetic claw's expansive abilities, Korodu snagged every one of them and swung them around, striking every wall around him, before slamming them down onto the ground, killing them all.
Sighing, he looked high and low for more demons and infected to kill when he heard clapping. He turned to see Vergil clapping his hands, smirking along the way. "Vergil… you live." Korodu said, shocked at Vergil's survival.
The Dark Slayer raised his eyebrow, "Do I know you?"
"Not personally, but I have read about you." he replied.
Vergil smirked a little bit, "Glad to see I have recognition." he said. "And you are?"
"My name is Korodu, and this is my trusty steed, Stormblitz." he introduced himself, bowing to him.
Stormblitz whinnied, 'Nice to meet ya.'
"Hmm, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"I've been wandering around this ruined city, while trying to stop my former mentor from using my unfinished invention." said Korodu, explaining himself. "And also trying out this, my DemoniClaw. A splendid invention if I do say so myself." he stated. "I had to use it on myself though to replace my real arm when it was cut off of me."
"Hmmm." Vergil looked at it and saw the amount of blood and other bits he saw on the thing. "While only a prosthetic, I am nonetheless impressed at the number of demons and infected you killed easily." Vergil said, smirking. "Anything else I should know?" he wondered.
Korodu turned Stormblitz around to face Vergil. "Stormblitz and I heard about your home being wrecked years ago." he replied. It was true, a couple months ago, Korodu had heard of the attack on Sparda's mansion. "I had heard you perished with only Dante as the sole survivor. Guess I was wrong." Korodu said, admitting his respect to Sparda. "My condolences." he added. The tense stare down between the two soon commenced, waiting for one to make the first move.
But then, Vergil did not take out his sword. "It's true, my brother is not the only survivor." he said to the demon with the Prosthetic Arm. "But, thank you for showing respect for my father." he said. "Right now, I must go. Have to see if that policeman, Leon Kennedy, has found the two young women he was looking for." he said, bidding farewell to Korodu, who mounted Stormblitz again.
Korodu then began wondering who that was and he said, "Well, we better get back to our own search." he said to Stormblitz. "Giddyap, giddyap, hut, hut, hut! High-Ho Stormblitz, Away!" he said, causing her to whinny again as she ran down a different path and galloped all the way there.
(A/N: That was a reference to The Lone Ranger, one of if not THE greatest T.V. and multi-media cowboys in the world today. Many people don't talk about him anymore, unless they were around when the series first aired.)
Stormblitz rode off into the night and then wondered why Korodu was a little bothered by something. 'Something on your mind, Korodu?' she asked.
"It's about Vergil." he told her, feeling worried. "I could sense that he feels inferior to his brother and is obsessed with gaining power." he admitted to his steed. "Not sure why though, but I can tell that he has forsaken the path his father laid out for him."
At first, Stormblitz did not know what to make of this, she had never seen anyone obsessed with gaining power to come out on top over his brother and felt like he was above humanity and felt he was more demon than human. 'Don't mind it right now. We have to focus on the task ahead.' she urged him.
As Dante's group rode off, along with Sam, Tyrone, Martin, Becca, Valerie and Jane, the group and new companions got to know one another, starting with how they met.
"So, Lionel, you, Joey and the Armstrong's met Katie, Ravi and Chase at the Raccoon Mall before the outbreak and bonded with them?" asked Tyrone.
Lionel nodded, "That's right man. I thought my future was to be the worlds greatest baseball player and follow in the footsteps of Joe DiMaggio or Babe Ruth." he told Tyrone. "But after the outbreak happened, I know now that my life will never be the same again." he sighed. And then he turned his head to him. "And not only that, but me, Joey, Jean, Mikey and Daniella were held hostage by psychos who broke out of jail and forced us to pay their crooked toll or they would feed us to the Zombies."
Sam heard that and said, "That was when Dante showed up and handed those psycho's asses to them, right?" he asked Lionel, receiving a nod from him. "Damn, I should have been there to knock them out and cut them up to save you." he added, feeling sorry that he wasn't there to help them.
"It's not your fault, Sam." said Mikey. "Also, when Chase made a joke about it, Lionel raged out at him. But then, Katie and Dante both got them to simmer down. We ran into Katie again when she, Ravi and Chase were captured by Nigel Kasady."
Sam and his group were stunned. "Nigel Kasady? The serial killer?" he asked, getting collective nods from all of them. "Man, that guy deserved to be put down like the monster he was!"
"And he did die at the hands of Dante while he was in his Demon form, or as he called it Devil Trigger." said Daniella. "Of course, I had to stay here in the motorhome."
Joey then added to this, "And after he was killed, we saved Elza Walker, who is currently following us on her motorcycle." he pointed out the side and they saw her revving at them and waving to them.
"Hmmm, this is very strange." said Marvin, before asking Dante "Dante, I'm curious. How did you come to Raccoon City" in a way.
Dante turned his head around and said, "I came here looking for Vergil." before he began stating "It's only been a few months since the last time I saw him. Back then, he went by the name Gilver."
The new companions all looked at each other in awe. But then, Marvin turned his head to Katie, "And you?"
"Oh I spent most of my days as middle school girl here." Katie told Marvin. "I was having a normal day that Summer, making heads turn and catching the eyes of the boys and then when I heard about those awful murders in the Arklay Mountains, I decided to check it out. While there I ran into Chris Redfield of the S.T.A.R.S. Unit and he showed me that something was amiss in there." she then told them. "But this was not the sword I used. My real one is known as the Belmont. I lost it though.
This made Sam and his group shocked. "How did you lose your sword Katie?" Valerie asked, not leaving room for arguments.
"Selene, a powerful and oversized breasted succubus, stole it before the outbreak occurred." Katie said, as flashbacks of Selene taking Belmont surged through her mind.
She then felt a gentle hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry, Katie. We'll get that sword back, I promise." said Sam.
"Hell yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" Dante said, pumping his fist.
Aside from Sam being distracted by Katie's midriff, "Eyes up here, Sammy boy." she said to him. "But, I don't mind the attention, handsome." she added, flirting and blowing him a kiss, making him blush.
This started causing Jan to pull his ear in protest, "Don't even think about it, Sam." she said to him in a stern way. "You're mine and mine alone."
But then, Chase also protested, but his was directed at Jan. "Jan, enough. From what he told me, you're not his type. So are you REALLY in ANY position to be territorial?" he asked her in a stern way, making her sigh in defeat and then Becca patted her on the back.
All throughout the ride, everyone just kept going in the same direction. Mikey stayed focused on outside the RV through the window, spotting several limping zombies. "Look, more of those damned Zombies!" Mikey said, pointing out the window.
Mikey soon stepped on it, putting the pedal to the metal. With the front of the Motorhome, Mikey grinded every limping zombie in front, laughing insanely as he did so. "Mikey, I think you're going mad with power." Lionel said, becoming a little unnerved by Mikey's willingness to kill zombies in this way.
So with that said, Mikey stopped the motorhome and said, "Sorry, I had a panic attack." he took a few deep breaths. "But it was fun to kill them. It was my adrenaline that got the better of me."
Jean smiled at him and put her hand on his shoulder. "It's understandable, Mikey." she embraced him. "Anyhow, let's get going again, little bro."
"Got it, sis." Mikey resumed driving down the road.
It was then that Dante looked at Becca and Jan, "So, Jan, Becca, I'd like to speak to you both. Alone, if you'd please?" he offered.
Jan looked at Sam and the boys and they all nodded. "Okay. Sure." and so they followed him to the back area.
Meanwhile, as Jill and her group made their way across the streets of the decrepit city, Jill herself began to wonder something, it was something that Leon had told her about before.
Jill then went over to him. "So, Leon, who is this Mr. X guy that you mentioned?" she asked, wondering what Leon meant.
"He's this giant grey-skinned guy with the noir hitman look about him, even having a fedora hat." Leon said, mentioning shooting it off, making them all startled. "Also, I first encountered him in the garage while Claire had been trying to get Sherry Birkin to safety before Brian Irons kidnapped Sherry, leaving Claire alone with that monster!"
Jill, Max and the others were all wide-eyed in horror at that. "Oooooooh, damn that Irons! I can't believe he would resort to this!" Jill yelled. "I mean, murdering the mayors daughter is one thing, but kidnapping children!? That is going TOO FAR!" she raged, making Max a little frightened. Realizing that Max was scared of her, she calmed down. "Sorry for raging like that Max." she said to him.
Max hugged her, making her do the same for him. "It's alright with me Jill." said Max, before he turned his head to back to Leon. "Anyway, continue Leon."
Leon nodded and then continued with his story, "I also met Ada Wong, an FBI agent, who is trying to find Annette Birkin for the G-virus sample she has." he said to them, rubbing his head.
'I'm going to have to call bullshit on that.' Kim and Cat thought, wondering what Ada Wong is really up to. Jill, Max and the others all thought the same thing and wondered what her true intentions were.
It was then that Brad spotted something in the front window. "Guys, look ahead! Zombies!" Brad said, pointing out the windshield.
Hellhound and Archangel pointed out to them, "And not just them, but also Oozegears, Crimgoyles and Spidrosus at 12 O-clock." the both of them said in unison, pointing out the windshield as well.
"What are they exactly? The Spidrosus that is." Jill asked, wondering about the three demon types.
"Oozegears are pretty much cannon fodder for whatever Demon Hunter takes them on, Crimgoyles are easy to kill but dangerous in swarms and Spidrosus are a little higher up the pecking order of demons." Leerah said, informing everyone on the demons. Jill got up and exited the bus to deal with them, cracking her knuckles and neck along the way.
We now see Dante, Becca and and Jane in the bedroom of their motorhome. Dante was making love with Becca and Jane, and they really took a liking to the Son of Sparda. They started kissing him on the lips and started getting naked in front of him, which made him shoot a cocky smirk at them and they giggled with delight as Dante rubbed Becca's gorgeously round breasts.
"Hubba hubba, Becca, these hooters of yours feel really nice." Dante said, huskily.
Becca moaned with delight. "Mmm, they're natural babe." she said, as Dante's hands began feeling her up, she began felt a rush of passion flowing through her. Then Jan also began feeling Becca up, and Dante was enjoying the show and even saw the two girls kissing. "Wow, you're a good kisser, Jan."
"Back at ya, Becca." Jan said to her, as they kept kissing.
No sooner did they finish did the motorhome suddenly stop without warning. Dante got his pants and shoes on. Becca and Jan covered up and lay in the bed before they heard a knock at the door *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* "Who is it?" asked Dante.
"Chase!" a male voice called out. Dante opened the door and allowed Chase to come in, "Sorry for interrupting you guys, but there's some blockage up ahead." he said to him, telling him about this.
Dante soon got his coat on, placed Rebellion on his back and holstered Ebony and Ivory. "Katie and I will clear that up." he declared. "We'll signal for you to bring it closer."
"Gotcha!" said Chase, racing over to the passenger seat of the motorhome.
Dante then went out of the room, "Enjoy yourselves, babes." he said to them, letting them know he'll be back soon. The two ladies giggled and began kissing again while they were covered up.
Katie soon joined Dante outside as they began walking around. She then saw something, "Hey, maybe this can help." she said, grabbing a pipe.
"What good will a pipe do?" asked Dante.
"Oh, you'd be surprised." Katie then got out a few Red Orbs she had collected on the way there, fused them with the pipe and then, via her demonic energy, turned it into a longsword. This had Dante impressed by what she could do with her Demonic Energy. "Wow!" she said, in amazement. Now all she needed was a name for it. "Hmm, I think I'll call this one Pipedream." she said, naming her temporary sword. "It's a temporary one, but it'll do."
Dante nodded, "Good idea. Let's get goin." he said to her. They went to see the blockage and deal with it, not knowing that the blockage will be a tough one to deal with.
Jill and Max continued walking their way through the ruined streets of Raccoon City, making sure there are no Zombies or Demons to get in the way. That was when they spotted something else running around the ruined streets. "What the hell?" asked Max.
Jill then asked Raijin, "What are those things?" as she saw a few Demons that looked the same. One bunch of them was a group of grey, humanoid demons that bear a certain resemblance to the figure of the Grim Reaper from popular folklore. They wear dark cloaks and black bandages on their limbs, carrying enormous scythes which they use to attack, and their bodies are apparently impaled by several large blades. The next was a trio of tall, dark-skinned humanoid demons with abnormally long arms.
Their appearance was naked except for some black bandages and a black, leather-like mask that shows one eye and the mouth both sewn. They carry a giant organic sack over their shoulders at all times. And the last group was a bunch of very tall humanoid demons who appear to have burned skin, with a very noticeable dark, brownish tone. They wear long white cloaks and white bandages both on their head and limbs. The bandage on their heads covers their eyes completely. It is unknown if they could actually see.
"Those are three of the Seven Hells, Demons that represent the Seven Deadly Sins." Raijin replied.
Fujin then stepped in, "So far it's just the Hell Prides, Hell Sloths and Hell Wraths running amok." she said.
Jill had never seen the likes of them. "Demons named after the Seven Deadly Sins, really?" she wondered. "I always found Lust to be the greatest of them."
Leerah nodded in agreement, "I second that emotion." said Leerah.
Fujin and Raijin also agreed, as did Revenant, Hellhound, Archangel, Rawhide, Phantom, Lycaon and Max. "Ditto." said Max.
It was then that Jill had given Max something, he looked at it and it was a spare handgun, "Here. Take it. I already have all the firepower needed." she said, giving Max the spare handgun.
"Okay." said Max, holding it in his hand while his other one was holstered on his right hip. Jill prepared to charge in head-on. Max cocked his new gun, before examining his sword, making sure that it was polished. They soon fired their guns at the Hell Wraths first. *BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG* However, due to the bombs they're carrying, he could not hit them in the head as they still limped towards him. 'I don't get it. Why didn't the headshots work?' Max though, confused at their durability.
It was then that Archangel's spirit called out to him. "Max, shoot the bombs, the bombs are their weak spot!" she said, pointing at the bombs they're carrying.
"Okay!" he said to the spirit girl. Max shot one of the bombs until it exploded, taking out the Hell Wrath and its kin which were around it. *BOOOOOOOOOOOMMM* This sack is in fact a bomb, and whenever the demon is damaged or if he drops it, the sack explodes damaging all surrounding beings, including the owner, who inevitably dies.
That was when a Zombie, identifying the nearest Hell Wrath as the greater threat, grabbed it and clung to it, with more Zombies joining in the rumble. Max then fired his gun a little bit, causing the sack to glow orange. "Hey Jill, the bombs will explode if shot enough times and with intense firepower!" Max said, pointing to the bombs that are carried by the Hell Wraths.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's blow shit up!" Jill soon shot at the bombs, destabilizing them.
She soon finished it off with Rawhide, causing the bomb to explode and embroiling the zombies dogpiling the Hell Wrath. *KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!* They soon burnt to a crisp, causing them to die again, this time for good to the relief of Max and Jill. "Phew, that was close." she said, but then Jill soon saw Max about to fall to the ground and grabbed his hand and caught him in her arms, stopping him from ever hitting the ground. "You okay, Max?"
As starry-eyed as he was, he nodded, "Yeah. Thanks." he blushed at her again, but then, she set him down and they signaled for the motorhome to come a little closer, and it followed. The group's safe passage took precedence and shrugged it off. "Can't worry about getting starry-eyed right now, time to keep looking." Max said, looking to the direction they're heading in, "I don't know what else could be waiting, but let's head down this way."
Nodding, Jill got her weapons ready and walked. "Right, stay close to me." Max did the same and followed her, knowing the dangers of Raccoon City becoming more prominent. "Just not too close, okay?" she requested.
Meanwhile, under the city, Claire Redfield and Echo Six were still looking for Sherry Birkin, who had fallen to the deeper levels of the sewers. That was when they heard laughter and raced to find someone killing Zombies and T-infected Crocodiles left and right. This man had dark brown hair that was medium length, and there was even a little bit of stubble on his chin and blue eyes, making him look rather unusual to many people.
His attire consisted of a long white scarf with three separate coattails, a silver coat that had a hood and a lions head on the left shoulder and a shield on the right shoulder. Underneath his coat is a navy-blue vest that looked like it was bulletproof that shows his well-toned arms and shoulders. In addition to this, he also wore the following articles of clothing.
First, he wore black fingerless gloves, a brown leather belt with a silver buckle, dark gray pants with a flame-like pattern running across the surface and tall gray boots with two golden buckle straps at the top. His weapon was a Zweihander sword with golden ornaments, a brown and gold hilt and an extremely sharp polished blade, meaning this was a sword to be used to fight evil.
Just then, several Crimgoyles soon appeared and swooped to attack him. the mystery man soon swung his blade at them, slicing the Crimgoyles to bits and disintegrating the Zombies and Infected Crocodiles. He soon wiped his forehead, after it became loose from all the blood.
Sighing, he soon turned to face Claire and Echo Six, who promptly pointed their guns at him. "Freeze! Don't move, you're surrounded!" said Dee-Ay, telling him, as if he were a cop.
"Relax, these things just got in my way." the man said, shaking his hair free of the blood.
"What's ya name, buster." Party Girl said, ready to fire.
"I'm simply a friend. You'll know who I am when the time is right." he replied said, walking to them.
The mystery man dug into his coat and tossed a colt army revolver with silver ornaments to Claire, as well as the ammunition she needs. "If you don't mind me asking, have you seen a little girl with blond hair?" Claire asked, wanting to know.
"What is her name?"
"It's Sherry Birkin."
"Ah, right, she's in that direction." the mystery man said, pointing to his left. "That path over there will lead you to Raccoon University." he added. "Now, I must go, there are worse things out tonight than Zombies and infected Monsters. Namely the Demons." he flowed his scarf, taking his leave.
They turned to thank him, "Thank you, sir." said Claire, only to see he was gone.
"Well, come on, let's go." Dee-Ay said, heading in the direction.
As the lot of them ran, Claire had a sense of dread in her. 'Don't cry, hang on Sherry, we're coming.' Claire thought, intent on saving Sherry no matter who she had to kill. 'Who was that stranger in the white and held that Zweihandler? What was his intent?' Claire thought again, but then shrugged. 'I can't think about that right now, I gotta save Sherry, that poor girl.' she tried to put it all out of her mind, feeling she could only focus on saving Sherry and not who the mystery man was..
Dante and Katie were battling a horde of Hell Prides and Hell Lusts, with some Hell Sloths joining in. Katie fired Hallow and Toa at a hell sloth and then rode it like a skateboard, grinding on a rail with it and pulling off four aerial flips. Dante and Sam, though behind a window, smiled at her as she sliced the demons to ribbons with Pipedream.
"Hot damn, that was amazing, Katie!" said Dante.
"Thanks." she replied, pounding her fist against his. "What are three of the 7 Hells doing here? They're supposed to be inside the Temen-ni-Gru."
"Good question." said Dante.
They soon turned to dust as Red Orbs poured out from them, prompting Katie to pick them up. "More Red Orbs, come on, the more the merrier." she said, also letting Dante in on it. She also found a few green ones too. "Green and White Orbs too? Hmm, these could be useful later." she said, knowing that to be true. She turned head to the RV and said, "We cleared this sector of demons, bring the RV a little closer, Mikey!" she called out to him.
"Okay!" Mikey shouted, allowing the RV to come closer. Dante soon got this gut feeling that he'll be seeing his brother again very soon.
In the RV, meanwhile, Becca and Jan, who were now fully dressed, were talking with Jean and Danielle, mainly about trivial stuff from shopping to school to even plans after getting out of Raccoon City.
"When we get out of here, I am so going to reconnect with my relatives." said Jan. "I'll never end up like my parents. They were pricks, even sold all my stuff for money."
"Well, I'm thinkin of findin my man." said Becca, feeling the urge to find a new boyfriend. "What about you, Jean?" she asked her.
Jean thought it over and said, "Well, I'm thinking of helping Dante with his new business, which he still hasn't found a name for yet." telling them about the shop he was planning to open up.
Chase was looking out the window, trying to spot any US military helicopters to try and flag down. Chase then made him turn around, "Don't worry, hun. We'll get through this." said Becca, as she also took the time to wink at him, causing him to rub the back of his neck.
Lok had stopped to rest so he can continue reading about Elise Hart and her adventure with Sparda, mainly when they fought a demon who had terrorized people back in the 1800s, a demon called Megaddarhk, when he heard clip-clop sounds.
"Hmmm. What's that?" he asked himself. "I hope it's not Greyon." he hoped.
The demonic knight looked all over and turned to see Stormblitz. Mounted on her was Korodu, shocking Lok. "Whoaaaaaaa, Stormblitz! Lok? Is that you?"
"Korodu?" Lok asked in shock and he ran up and hugged him when Korodu began dismounting. "It is you! It is you!"
Feeling the hug was heartwarming for Korordu and Stormblitz smiled while showing a tear in her eyes. "It's nice to see you too, Lok." Korodu said, smiling at his friend.
The two soon did their secret handshake, which was a few movements similar to the Commander Cool salute but added a few new bits to it with the both of them spinning around and pounding their fists together. "I can't believe you're here in the Human World. How did you get here?" he asked him. "And you brought Stormblitz too. How've you been girl?"
She whinnied, 'I've been good, Lok. It's nice to see you.' to Lok.
Lok then got a good look at what he was sporting on his left arm. "What the huh? What happened to your arm?"
"I'll explain that later, right now, we have to get rid of the Demons in this area." said Korodu.
The knight nodded and then, the three of them began walking down the ruined streets, conversing along the way. "So what are you doing here, considering the mess?" Lok asked, "What brings you to Raccoon City?" he wondered.
It was then that Korodu relayed the disaster that happened in front of his eyes. "It's like this. My now former mentor, Rovokadoo, intends to use human blood to power my Z.A.R.C.T Cannon." Korodu said, announcing his intent to stop him.
"WHAT!? Why would he do that?" Lok said, not understanding Rovokadoo's intent. But then, he began piecing it together.
Korodu then said, "I think it's most likely to bring his master Shoronok back and make themselves into gods, similar to Mundus." he then added to it. "And to not only that, but Sparda's second son, Vergil is here!"
Lok then was wide-eyed in shock. "What is Vergil doing here in Raccoon City?" Lok asked, confused about Vergil's intent and reasons for being here, considering the mess it's in.
"No doubt he's seeking more power." said Korodu, explaining everything. "I swear, it's like he's developed an inferiority complex, most likely stemming from his childhood, and now desires power so he can come out on top over his brother, Dante." Korodu said, shaking his head in disappointment.
Lok soon flared up his aura in rage and shaking his fists, which didn't faze Korodu nor Stormblitz as they had seen it many times before entering the human world. "DAMN! I mean, really?! Rejecting his humanity and embracing his Demonic Heritage is one thing, but seeking power, at the expense of others, just to be stronger than Dante. THAT IS TOO MUCH!" Lok shouted at the top of lungs.
"Whoa, calm yourself, Lok, and pull yourself together." Korodu said, playing the drill sergeant card on him.
Lok did as he was told and took deep breaths. "Sorry about that, old friend." he said, feeling like he was stuck. "It's just, the very idea of it is so sickening."
"I know, but let's keep going." said the demon with a prosthetic arm.
The bus came a little closer to Max and Jill, as they cleared another sector, the two signaled for them to come a little closer and so they drove a little bit more. Leon was getting to know how Brad and Cat hooked up after Brad's near-death experience at the hands of Nemesis.
"So, you were given a second chance after that Rovokadoo guy inserted a Gold Orb into you to keep you alive?" asked Leon.
Brad nodded, "And then Cat and I hooked up after my near-death experience with that Tyrant monster." he said. "Jill has been calling it Nemesis."
Leon felt a little bewildered and then said, "Well, glad you got a girl you love." he said to him, congratulating him doing so.
Back outside, Max was still a little red-faced after being held by Jill. He could feel his heart beating rapidly. Archangel mused at how Max was looking. "Hmmm, well, Max's become a rather smitten kitten." she said, doing a playful expression.
The other Devil Arms laughed at Max's expense, making him embarrassed further. Jill turned around and saw that Max's face was red smiled a bit but kept walking. "Hehehe, I don't mind." she said.
The two of them resolved to investigate the area, after not finding any zombies milling around. "Guys, wait here until we return." Jill said, turning to face them.
"Okay!" said Brad, as he gave a thumbs up in reply as he stopped the bus.
They kept going until they stopped at the street where Robert Kendo's gun shop was located, even the sign showed it. "Is this the store that Robert Kendo fellow owned?" asked Max.
"Yep." said Jill, opening the door.
Max looked around the place, "It looks pretty safe." Max said, about to get a reality check.
Then Rawhide went up to him, "Son, this is Raccoon City, nowhere is safe here." he said, tipping his hat up before he pointed outside. That reality check came in the form of a horde of Zombies coming to them.
"Shit!" said Max, as he and Jill bolted out of the shop, shooting the Zombies in the head, making them fall. One of them tripped over a canister of propane, Jill shot it with Hellhound and *BANG* The Zombie exploded in fire. "Good shot."
"Thank you, Max." Jill replied to him.
That was when a horde of Oozegears, Reptodiles and Spidrosus appeared and slaughtered the rest of the Zombies. Behind them were Hell Prides, Hell Lusts and Hell Wraths.
Max saw that they were outnumbered, but he then shot a few of the Reptodiles in the eyes, blinding them. *BANG* His gun fired, sending the Reptodile falling down and was stomped by his own brethren. That was when a giant green Arachne demon showed up and roared. "What demon is that!?"
"It's an Arachne, their vicious spider demons!" said Revenant.
The Arachne then charged and ensnared them in its webs. *THWIP* The web was shot and then it tied Jill and Max together. They struggled to get free, but the webs were as strong as steel, preventing escape. "Dammit! This stuff is tough!" said Jill.
Max looked up at Jill's face as his own was in her cleavage, making her blush. "Sorry, I shouldn't have my face right here." he said, feeling a little insecure about their situation.
"Believe me, I wasn't expecting this either!" said Jill, feeling the same way. She then felt something pressing her legs. "That better not be what I think it is!" she warned him in a stern way.
It was when Max then said to her, "I wish I could put it out of my mind, but it's a battle against biology." he felt a little unable to stop his urge.
This made Jill scoff a little, "Really, at a time like this?!" she grunted.
"Well, now would be the time actually." Max said back to her.
(A/N: That was a reference to an episode of an Anime called YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World, I've only seen a few episodes here and there, but if you don't know what it is, look it up on Funimation.)
The Arachne roared in rage and then Max screamed in horror at the sight of this, not wanting this to be the way he goes out. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Dante and his group were only minutes away from the area when they heard Max yelling and screaming in a fit of horror. Katie put her ear to the direction it was coming from.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the yell went, causing Katie and Dante to turn their heads, as they got done with the Demons in that area.
"Oh shit, a shriek of terror." Katie said, dashing ahead.
Lionel looked out the window and asked, "Which was is it coming from?"
"That way!" Katie pointed Northeast of their location and then she slashed a Hell Pride with Pipedream, prompting a Hell Lust to jump at her, only for it to get shot by Elza. She gave Elza the thumbs-up and then refocused. "Let's see what it's all about!" Elza nodded, as she mounted her motorcycle and raced Katie over there.
"Wait for me!" the boy in red called out. Dante dashed after her, as she explained what they needed to do. "So, who was it that screamed?"
"It sounded like a boy, close to my age no doubt!" explained Katie to Dante. "And look, there he is tied up with a grown woman."
Dante smirked a little bit, "A teen boy with an adult woman, eh?" he lightly quipped. "He must feel like he was in heaven being tied up with her."
"This is no laughing matter, Dante." said Elza. "Their in trouble!"
It was then that Dante held his hands up in mock surrender to what Elza said, "Alright, stick to the format." he said dryly. Soon, he saw a Spidrosus about to kill Jill and Max, only to have its head blown off by Katie. *BANG* Her gun, Hallow, went off and it caused the innards of the Spirdosus's head to splatter on the tree nearby. "Nice shot." said Dante.
"Thanks." Katie accepted. "Your turn!"
"Got it!" Dante said, as he soon jumped into the air and swung his Rebellion sword at several demons. He soon did a high speed lunge attack towards a Hell Pride, which knocked it back upon connecting. He soon stabbed several Hell Prides and the he skated on one of them as he killed the Oozegears, Reptodiles and Hell Lusts with his guns Ebony & Ivory. And lastly, he slashed the other Spidrosus. "Hot damn!" he said, whooping as he and Katie pounded their fists together.
Zombies soon appeared and shambled to attack Dante, Katie, Jill and Max. However, Dante's RV soon appeared and ran them down, crushing them, with Jill's RV doing the same thing, as they soon entered the area. "Talk about a close call." Dante said, firing Ebony and Ivory at any Zombies that survived.
"Yeppers." Katie replied, firing her guns at the Zombies as well. Little did they know, they would soon meet a new survivor who would also save them. "You both alright?" asked Katie.
"Yeah, thanks!" said Max.
Lok and Korodu were walking down the street, Korodu mounted on Stormblitz and Lok on foot, making sure they didn't encounter any demons or zombies. They soon saw a man, with a crazed expression no less, wearing an orange jumpsuit running by, while another man, wearing a tan duster coat, was chasing after him for reasons unknown to either of them.
"What do you think that was about?" asked Lok.
"Not sure." Korodu replied.
Lok soon started their conversation, starting with his meeting with Carlos Olivera and Leon Kennedy. "I aided them against their battle against the Lickers, due to their long tongues, and saved them from a monster called Nemesis, which is a Tyrant series Bio Organic Weapon." Lok said, explaining what happened hours ago.
That was when Crimgoyles flew by, prompting Lok to get out his machine gun and shoot them down. *BUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDABUDA* The rest became attracted to the two, "Damn, this looks like the end!" he said, feeling a sense of dread.
"NOT TONIGHT!" Korodu said, prompting himself to swing his claw around them, slicing them to ribbons. *SPLATCH* He reached out as his arm stretched all the way to another Demon, he grabbed one of them, and began swinging them around. "RRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!" he yelled as his claw began slicing them up, causing the Demons to split apart.
*SNIKT-SNIKT-SNIKT-SNIKT-SNIKT-SNIKT-SNIKT-SNIKT* Lok's sword began clanging. "Wow, nice use of that arm of yours?"
"Thanks, it's mostly a prosthetic." he shook the blood of the Demons off his arm. "My real one had been cut off of me, so I had to replace it."
Lok nodded, but then they noticed something. "Hey look, there are Orbs here!" he pointed out. And it turned out he was right. Orbs, mostly red with some green, came out from them, allowing them to collect them. "Let's take some with us, we might need them, should we run into a Divinity Statue."
"Got it!" Korodu agreed. And so, they picked up the Orbs one by one And it was then, Korodu saw something on Lok's back. "What's that you got with you?"
Lok looked behind him and got out the book he brought with him. "Oh, this book tells about Sparda's adventure with a female Cambion named Elise Hart. She used her sword the Dragoon to help Sparda fight against some Japanese Demons, one of them was Naraku." he told him.
The caught Korodu's attention and he looked at what Lok showed him about that battle. "Remarkable!" he said, in utter amazement. "So Lok, what were you able to find out about Elise Hart?" Korodu asked, turning to face Lok.
"From what I found out, she has two descendants, but Shonfeng murdered one of them." Lok said, making Korodu have a stare of shock and horror again. "I'm beginning to wonder if it's because of Elise's prowess."
The Demon with the prosthetic wondered that too, but refocused himself. "Well, regardless of that, we must find the other descendant." Korodu said, clenching his mechanical left fist.
Lok nodded. "Right! Onward!" he called out, shaking hands in agreement. The two set off again.
After Max and Jill were cut out of their cobweb binds, they, Dante and Katie joined their respective groups. The members soon got off the bus and saw each other. Before introductions could start, Katie fired her guns on the ground in front of a man's feet.
*BANG*
"In case you hadn't noticed, that was a warning shot." Katie said, pointing her gun at the psycho. "Next ones go through your head." she added, her death threat loud and clear.
Jill recognized him as a psychopath that the R.P.D. had arrested and he was on his way to the prison, but he grabbed Jean by the neck and pointed a gun at her head, making Daniella and Mikey frightened and Max angry. "I don't give a fucking rats ass about your damn warning! Fork over your money and possessions." The psychopath said, threatening them.
Dante scoffed, "Or what, you dickhead?" he insulted.
"Or I will kill you all and rape the whores in this group!" the psycho said, in an irritated tone.
Lionel had a star of rage in his eyes, "You asshole! We are trying to get OUT of this godforsaken place!"
"NONE OF YOU ARE GOING ANYWHERE YOU HEAR ME!?" he demanded. "YOU DO WHAT I SAY, NOW FORK OVER YOU MONEY AND POSSESSIONS NOW!" They stared at him with a deadpan face.
However, a British voice could be heard. "I'm afraid you did NOT say please, my friend." A man said, turning the psychopath around and slitting the his throat.
*SNIKT*
He soon took out a handkerchief and wiped his blade clean of the blood that covered it. "You lot alright?"
The lot of them all nodded, "Alright, who the hell are you?" Lionel asked, pointing his gun at the man.
The man in the tan coat raised his arms in mock-surrender. "Easy there, mate. The name's Glen Bates." he said to them, "I'm from East London."
"East London?" asked Lionel. "What's a Englishman like yourself doin' here?" asked Lloyd.
"I'm a tourist and a reporter, trying to get the truth of this bloody Zombie outbreak around the world." he said. The survivors were shocked at the revelation.
Lionel put his gun down and took a deep breath. "Sorry about that, I'm just really jumpy."
"Dead smooth, you are, mate." said Glen. "And who are you, gorgeous?" he said, turning his head over to Jill.
"The name's Jill, Jill Valentine. I used to be with the R.P.D. S.T.A.R.S. Unit." Jill introduced herself to him.
Glen remembered her, "I assume you know that it was I who published your words, having listened to you." Glen said, getting a confirming nod from Jill.
Lionel, Joey, Mikey, Danielle and Jean became bewildered and shocked. "You...YOU'RE Jill Valentine?" Lionel asked, getting a nod from Jill and it was then that they all got on their knees, and bowed to her and begged for her forgiveness in not believing their story. "We should've listened to you."
"We're sorry for not trusting you!" cried Mikey and Daniella.
"Please, Jill, forgive us!" Joey sobbed, as did Jean, but then she reassured them.
Jill smiled at them all, hugged Daniella tenderly and kissed her on the cheek. "I never held any ill will towards any of you." she said. "So who are you?" she wondered.
And so, one by one they introduced themselves. "Lionel Mendez."
"I'm Joseph Anderson, but you can call me Joey or JoJo."
Jill laughed a little lightly at the other nickname, to her it sounded like a dog or the nickname of an Anime character.
(A/N: That was a reference to a new favorite anime for me, JoJo no Kimyō na Bōken or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure as it's translated in English. I've been watching it ever since I saw an episode of it on Toonami. And I'm still learning about it, the Hamon, the Ripple and Stands. And I have been working on my own take on it, I hope to release it in the future.)
"Nice to meet you Jill, I'm Daniella Armstrong." said Daniella, hugging Jill again. "This is my mom, Jean."
"Hello there." Jean said.
"And this is my uncle." she pointed to Mikey.
"Michael Armstrong, but you can call me Mikey." Michael said, shaking hands with her all the while gawking at her ample cleavage.
Jill moved Mikey's head with her finger, "Eyes up here, you silly guy." she teased him a little bit. "But, I don't mind if you stare, just don't do it for too long."
"Duly noted." Mikey said.
Clearing her throat, she then introduced the Knights of Raccoon City, Brad, Leon, Max and the Devil Arms she currently carries. "Well, it's nice to meet you." she said to them, starting off. "These are the ones I've been travelling with. Lloyd Woods, Jason Morikawa, Catherine Weaver, her cousin Kimberly 'Kim' Weaver, Kim's boyfriend Jack Richmond, and last but not least, Harry and Larry the Harrel Brothers. Together, they are the knights of Raccoon City."
This made Lionel's group blink a little bit, "Knights of Raccoon City?"
"We're L.A.R. , man." said Lloyd.
This made them realize what they were, "Oh, you're into Live-Action Role Playing." said Mikey. "Nice. I like it!" he high-fived with Jason and the twins.
"I'm Brad Vickers." Brad introduced himself.
Joey recognized him, "Oh yeah, you were the 'chicken-heart' of S.T.A.R.S." said Joey.
Jean then looked at Leon, "And who are you, handsome?" she said, trying to charm him.
"Leon S. Kennedy, RPD." Leon said, showing his badge.
This made Jean and the others look a little stunned. "Oh wow!"
Lionel, Joey and Mikey all looked at each other in confusion, "I've never seen you with the S.T.A.R.S. Unit." said Mikey.
"Well, that's because today was my first day on the job, and unfortunately, my last." Leon replied to them.
That comment made them drop their jaws in shock, "You're a rookie cop?" asked Joey. Leon nodded, "Whoa!"
It was then that Daniella pointed to the boy who saved her family and the others, "And this handsome guy with the silvery white hair, is Dante." she said.
Jill and the others all looked at Dante and it was revealed that he was the one they had been looking for. "You're Dante?"
The silver-haired young man nodded. This made Archangel bow in front of him. "Son of Sparda, we finally meet." Archangel said, hovering over to Dante.
"It is truly an honor to see you." Revenant said, smiling.
"Freaking unbelievable." Hellhound said, wagging his tail.
Rawhide however, was amazed at this and got out a cigar and started smoking it. "I gotta admit, seein' a Son of Sparda is a new experience to me." he said, smoking his cigar.
Lycaon was a little dumbfounded. "Where'd you get that cigar from?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow and an ear.
Dante chuckled a little bit. "The honor is mine." he bowed to them, making Fujin and Raijin gush at the sight of him. He soon introduced the other survivors while he was at it. "This is Samuel Jordan, Valerie Harmon, Martin Sandwich, January Van Sant, Becca Woolet, Ravi Suno, Chase Valor, Elza Walker and this babe right here is Katie Foster." he said, making Katie blush a little bit.
Katie also introduced her little companion. "This is my dog, Shadow." she said, showing him to Jill, Max and the others, right before Shadow started nudging Jill's legs. "Oh my, he's nudging."
"I think he likes you." Max said, noticing how happy Shadow looked.
Jill soon started petting Shadow and giving him love, smiling along the way. "Awww, isn't he adorable? Soooo cute." she cooed as she kissed him and cuddled him.
Katie then looked at Max, "So, what's your story, big boy?" she winked at him, teasing him a little.
This made Max blush a little bit, but he maintained his composure, "I'm Max Evans, nice to meet you Katie." he then knelt down to pet Shadow, and he accepted it. "And you too, Shadow." it was then that Shadow started licking him, making him laugh a little bit, causing everyone to gush at this.
Dante then looked at Leon and they did the same thing they did. "You know Leon, aside from the hair color, you and look pretty identical." Dante said, referring to Leon's appearance.
This made Leon nod in agreement. "Yeah, the only difference is, I'm a human cop and you are a Cambion who hunts demons." Leon said, noting the obvious differences between them.
"Jill looks different than what Lionel described her." Dante said, cupping his chin.
Joey then noticed it too, "Yeah, how did her boobs get so huge?" he asked, feeling a little insecure. "Don't take it the wrong way."
The woman sighed a little bit. That was when Dante started to try and charm Jill. "So Jill, I bet you want a piece of me too. All the ladies love my body, it drives 'em crazy."
Jill, hearing that before from when she first met Carlos, said "What? Keep dreaming." rejecting Dante's offer entirely. She soon started to tell him about what had been going on as of late, starting with Leerah bonding with her. "As for how my 'Hooters' as you would say got so big..." she started off, cupping her breasts and making them bounce, causing Joey and some of the boys to feel stiff in their pants. "It was due to this little lady right here." she pointed at Leerah, "Her name is Leerahxia Darxaks, a Slimegernon from the Demon World."
"But you can call me Leerah. It suits me better." she assured them. The lot of them waved at her.
"And she brought her friends, Revenant, Rawhide, Hellhound and Archangel with her to keep them safe from the one who released the Demons into this world." Jill continued. "They told me his name was Rovokadoo."
Lionel did not understand, "Rovokadoo? Sounds like a Thailand dish."
Chase then asked, "What did he do?"
Feeling the need to answer that, Leerah said, "He sacrificed everyone we knew to be funneled through a mandala he set in motion here in the city, while disguised as Cyrus Reinhardt, wealthy industrialist."
Lionel and the others all gasped in shock at this, they had no clue that the cause of their problem was in front of them, and they did not know it. "Cyrus Reinhardt was a demon?" asked Lionel.
Mikey then said, "So, he's more than just a fricking asshole." he cursed, then looked at Daniella. "Sorry for that, Dani."
"It's okay, Uncle Mike." Daniella said back to him.
"During my run-in's with some of the Mandala Guardian's, I ran into a giant snake that looked like that Yawn creature I fought in the Spencer Estate last Summer." said Jill, remembering everything up to this point. "Then I saw Phantom, the Destroyer of Ardor, the Wind and Lightning Sisters, Fujin and Raijin, a spirit Tiger called Roarnon and the Wolf God, Lycaon."
This made Sam, Marvin, Jan, Val and Becca wide-eyed in bewilderment. "You fought...A GREEK God!? And won!?" asked Sam, as he got a nod from Jill. "WHOA!"
"Yeah, that would have been next to impossible!" said Marvin.
"Well YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAW!" said Becca. "Ah wish Ah coulda seen that!"
Jill then concluded, "And after beating Lycaon and making him a new Devil Arm for me, I'm still working on straightening him out and I shut down the node he was guarding."
"That was when I appeared." said Leon.
Max then explained, "Jill went back there to get her lockpick. She would never go anywhere without it." he said. "And now, here we are, trying to find my friends, Jennifer Maza, Bart Fielding, Luke Crossroad and Maria Grey. I'm not leaving without them." Max added.
Katie then looked at Max in concern. "Oh man."
Dante became intrigued, as he had never heard of mandalas used in the way that was described. "Hmm, this Mandala that Rovokadoo set into motion, it wouldn't have anything to do with Mundus, would it?" he asked.
Jill shook her head, "No, I'm not sure what he's planning."
"But it isn't good." said Max.
Glen spoke up and said to them, "Damn, and I thought that guy I saw in blue was weird."
Lionel was curious, "Guy in blue?" he asked.
"Yeah, that's right, mate." said Glen, replying to Lionel. "He had silverish white hair, similar to yours Dante. Only he was holding what looked like a Katana of some kind."
Dante had pieced it all together. "Vergil! He IS here!"
This made Glen a little confused. "Who the bloody hell is Vergil?"
"He's Dante's twin brother." replied Max.
Now it made sense to Glen. "Ah, no wonder he looked like you." he said, figuring out that to be true. But then, he cleared his throat. "Anyhow, I'll gladly help you find Max's mates, stop this Rovokadoo bloke and kick some Zombie arse all over the fuckin place!" he declared to them, wanting to join them.
Dante nodded with a smirk, as did Katie. And they all agreed to allow Glen to join them and they offered him a ride in one of their R.V.'s and so he went with Jill and the Knights of Raccoon City, and so they kept going, but then, Jill got a message. "Hello?" she spoke into her walkie talkie.
"Jill, it's Carlos! I'm back at the Church!" said Carlos's voice over the radio.
"Any sign of that monster?" Jill asked, referring to Nemesis.
Carlos then replied, "No, not at the moment. You'd better get back here right away!" he felt the need to get back to him.
"On my way! Over and out!" she chimed out. "Okay, Jason, Jean, can we make it to the church?"
"Sure thing!" said Jason. He then looked out the window and Jean. "Saint Michael Clock Tower and let's step on it!"
"Got it, Jason!" said Jean.
So, everyone buckled up and bolted their motorhomes all the way back to the Saint Michael Clock Tower, Dante was now in the motorhome he was driving, but this time there were different passengers with him Lionel and Jean, mainly some of the Knights of Raccoon City, Kim, Cat, Lloyd, Harry, Larry and Brad as well, while Jason and Jack were with Jill. Joining Jill was Max, Katie, Daniella, Mikey, Katie, Ravi, Chase, Shadow, Elza, who decided to give her bike a break and Glen as they all race back to the church.
