Devil May Cry Olympus Lightning Thief
ESKK: Well here we are a new chapter I hope you all enjoy this and keep on reviewing the story. Remember the more reviews I have (Which aren't asking me to update a fic) the more likely I am to update a particular fic. Anyway let's begin the story folks.
(Start Mt. Olympus)
Zeus and Poseidon were on the ground as the Council Room was trashed. Standing over them was Hercules, Mundus, and Jubileus possessing Aphrodite's body. Zeus tried to get back on his feet only for Mundus to slam his foot on his back knocking the King of the Gods back down. "Many Demigods and mortals of the present and past would have killed to see you in this state." Mundus taunted glaring down on Zeus. "Humbling isn't it?" Mundus continued to taunt smirking down upon the Gods.
"Why Heracles would you betray us?" Poseidon asked as he glared at his nephew.
"You Olympians care nothing for us minor gods!" Heracles yelled as he glared down upon two of the Big Three. "It is time we got some recognition! All the Olympians are the same! You're no better than the Titans before you if father's paranoia is proof enough!" Heracles yelled as Zeus glared and got a second wind.
"How dare you I made you a god Heracles and this is how you repay me!" He yelled trying to get back up.
"You did father after I had to undergo moronic tasks because you could not remain faithful to your own wife who sought to punish me for my birth and not the man who had me conceived!" Heracles yelled as he then gestured to Mundus. "Mundus promised me the right as a God. I'm sure Kronos will enjoy sharing a prison with you two." Heracles said with a sinister smirk on his face
"No wait." Jubileus cut in as she noticed something. "It's not a complete set without Hades wouldn't you agree Mundus?" Jubileus said as Mundus saw this.
"Yes I see that." Mundus said as he smirked while holding the helm of darkness. "Hades will no doubt be here soon so let us wait for him it's only fair the Big Three fall together as one happy family." Mundus taunted and then with a mighty roar the two gods were dragged into restraints that held them at all possible angles to keep them from trying anything. "Now stay put as we invite Hades to the grand bash." Mundus said as he would take pleasure in watching the fall of Olympus.
"You'll fail again." Poseidon was heard as Mundus looked to him. "Both of you will fail… Sparda's bloodline lives on." Poseidon said to which Mundus scoffed.
"The boy poses no threat to me and Dante will fell the full weight of his failure when I eliminate his daughter." Mundus said to which Poseidon smirked.
"Don't count Evan out so soon, as my niece has told me… he's too stubborn to lay down and die." Poseidon said to which Mundus scoffed and took Zeus throne.
"We shall see." Mundus said taking personal pleasure when he saw Zeus struggle when Mundus sat on his throne to await Dante's arrival.
(Scene Break Evan's group)
The group arrived at the entrance to Central Park and found that the entire park was frozen solid surprising them all. "This the place?" Evan asked Corvus while looking to the demon while they all saw the frozen plains that was once the Central Park.
"Yeah this is Fenrir's handy work alright guy likes it cold when he set up base." Corvus said as he flew about. "Looks like we caught him at a good time demons haven't figured out what we're up to yet." Corvus added while flying around the group's heads ready to go in and find Fenrir.
"You mean your betrayal or you helping us?" Evan asked as Corvus glared at him.
"Those are the…" Corvus began before he got it. "Oh a wise guy huh that was pretty funny HAHAHA!" Corvus laughed as it flew near them.
"Percy wanna stay out of this I figured you and ice won't work well together." Evan said as he looked to Percy.
"I'll live." Percy said as Evan nodded knowing Percy held the Master Bolt now.
"Ok then let's go." Evan said as I turn the group proceeded to enter the frozen area that was not too long ago Central Park.
"Follow me I'll lead the way!" Corvus said before he continued. "Oh and if something grabs you in the snow either kill it or cut off the limb." Corvus warned as they made their way into the frozen tundra of this location.
(Meanwhile over with Dante and Artemis)
The duo had gotten through another wave of demons as they were closer to the Empire State Building. But now that they had a brief break Artemis was catching her breath as Dante smirked to her. "Need some rest?" Dante asked as Artemis glared at him.
"Hold your tongue Dante less I change you into a beast." Artemis countered with a small smile on her face.
"Jeez just like how we first met huh." Dante said as Artemis had to agree.
"Yes that fateful day so long ago." Artemis said as she remembered it well. After all how can she forget the day she met the man who would be the father of her children and the love of her eternal life.
(Flashback 13 years ago)
Dante whom had opted not to wear a shirt was roaming the trashed city after a tower had rose from the earth itself. His brother Vergil had called him out and Dante wasn't one to turn down an invite from his big brother. But as he walked though he noticed an odd sight nearby. The sight was a 12 year old girl fighting off the demons with nothing but daggers, and a bow and arrow. Her arrows were starting to run out and Dante being the guy that he was felt obliged to give her a hand. Thus Dante opted to jump into the fray and help the girl out.
Artemis wasn't keen on accepting help as these monsters wronged her most so. Many of her Hunters had been taken by them and she already rescued a good number of them by herself. But the horns were sounding many of her hunters were still alive and in danger. She had to save them she was duty bound to do so but these things she had never encountered before and she was on the losing end of it. But regardless she would stand tall and keep going forward as nothing would stop her from saving her hunters. Just then to her surprise a sword stabbed through the demons chest and sliced it in two before she saw something that made her glare in contempt.
"Need a hand kid?" Dante asked as he looked to the girl.
"I had it well handled boy." Artemis said as she glared at Dante.
"Boy? Kid I'm twice your age." Dante said as Artemis figured he only saw the 12 year old. "Besides your tired right now and need some rest." Dante said as just then a demon came from behind him but Dante slashed it in two with ease.
It seems when Dante arrived the demons got quiet agitated as they began to crowd around the Devil Hunter. "Well then." Dante began as he smirked back to the demons. "This is going to be one hell of a party!" Dante called out as he then charged into the fight and to Artemis shock he began to take down the Demons with ease. It seems the more he killed the angrier they got. But as she watched this she was surprised when he pointed his gun at her and fired it off.
Artemis was about to attack back when she heard a demonic cry of pain and looked to see a Demon had gotten close to her. IT wasn't long until the Demons were all dealt with as Artemis and Dante were the last two here. "Well that was fast." Dante said a tad bit bored after what had happened.
Just then Artemis was wide eyed when a Demon came behind him to fast for Dante to react. The demon in turn ran him through with its scythe catching him off guard to this. But as Artemis was about to repay the favor she was shocked when Dante spun around and force the demon to released its grip on its weapon before Dante managed a headshot on the foe.
"Nice try." Dante said leaving Artemis shocked when she saw him pull the blade out not even leaving a wound behind from it. "Anyway kid I suggest you get home I have a party to get to, hosted by my asshole brother." Dante said as he began to make his way to the tower.
"Wait!" Artemis called out as she looked to Dante who stopped. "Mortal tell me who or what are you?" Artemis asked as Dante smirked.
"Who's asking?" Dante asked as he looked to the Goddess.
"Artemis… Goddess of the Hunt and the Wild." Artemis said as she knew Dante was an expert with these creatures. "And if you know of these monsters then I may have need of your aid in saving my hunters." Artemis said as Dante listened to her.
"Kid… if I know demons then your hunters are probably demon chow by now." Dante said as he then looked to the side. "Doesn't make sense why they'd kidnap them to begin with but hey not my job to ask." Dante said as Artemis looked to him.
"I won't leave until I have confirmation." Artemis said as Dante smirked to her.
"Sorry I'm not letting some kid who thinks she's a Goddess come with me." Dante said to which Artemis glared at him before a silver flash of light was seen. Dante looked and saw Artemis form had changed and now she looked like she was in his age group maybe late teens to early 20's if his math was right.
"Now that I look more appropriate, you will assist me with these demons Dante." Artemis said to which Dante sighed to this.
"Give me details." Dante said to which Artemis agreed.
(End Flashback)
"Yes a tad bit of a bumpy starts I shall not lie." Artemis said as Dante had to agree with her on that while they sat near a Goddess of Time statue.
"Tell me about it." Dante agreed as they sat there for a small break to recharge.
"Well come on we have to find our children." Artemis said as she got up.
"Yeah you're owed visitation rights." Dante joked as Artemis smiled as well as Dante's attempt at humor there.
(With Calisto)
Calisto, Bayonetta, and Bianca had just got through another wave of Angels and demons as they were making their way down the path torts the Empire State Building. It was clear this onslaught had to end there but they were still a few blocks away from their current objective. These Angels and demons really chose a bad time to cause this mayhem for the city.
"Jeez these things really fucked up the shopping center." Calisto said as right now they were in New York's Shopping District.
"And I was so looking forward to those Summer Sales." Bayonetta lamented as Bianca picked up pair of underwear and blushed at how skimpy it was.
"A total travesty." Bianca said but the way she said it didn't show she agreed.
"And to think we wanted to bring Bianca on a shopping spree with the men in our lives being pack mules." Calisto said as she smirked to this.
"We could very well invite Artemis while we were at it little one." Bayonetta said but as they made their way through Calisto stopped and saw something.
"Huh?" Calisto asked as she walked over to the item that caught her notice. She walked over to it and picked it up. She picked it up and twisted it and saw that it was in fact lip stick but the design of the shaft suggested Olympian origin somehow. Next to it was a letter in which she opened it and began to read it.
"Use this wisely –A." Calisto read aloud as she looked to the lipstick and then back to the letter that ended with a stylized A.
"Well A girl without her lipstick is one thing but lipstick without a girl is something different." Bayonetta was heard as Calisto yelped when she saw both Umbra Witches there.
"Sorry did we startle you?" Bianca asked as Calisto pocketed the lipstick.
"Let's just focus." Calisto said avoiding the question for now. The trio then continued their path before they felt the ground shake once more. They looked around and saw a large building giving way and tipping over. "Look out!" Calisto cried out as she used her Wicked Weave to push Bayonetta and Bianca out of the way.
The Demi-Goddess Witch and the Umbra Witch cried out in shock when this happened and in turn all three narrowly avoided being buried in rubble. When this happened Calisto got up and looked to the wall of ruble in the way. "Bayonetta Calisto are you two ok?!" Calisto called out two her Umbran Sisters.
"Don't worry little one we're well!" Bayonetta called out as she
"I don't think we can get through." Bianca called out as she looked to the wall of rubble here.
"Don't worry I'll keep moving forward try and find a way through or around and well catch up!" Calisto called out to which she then ran off unaware where her path was leading her.
(Bianca and Bayonetta)
"Come along then little one we have a job to do." Bayonetta said as just then portals appeared and from them Angels came out.
"After we deal with these fuckers first." Bianca said while she was ready for battle.
"Try to keep up." Bayonetta said while smirking at her newest of students in the Umbran Arts. The two then charged into battle ready to slaughter their angelic foes to keep Inferno happy with the contract.
(Back with Calisto)
As Calisto ran down the streets making a path to the Empire State Building she was soon caught off guard by a familiar face standing in her path. She stopped and glared when she saw Evelyn walking from another street no doubt with the same destination in mind right now.
"You." Calisto growled as she stopped glaring at the bitch who wanted to kill her brother and had actually come close to doing it before. "This is all your fault!" Calisto roared and charged at Evelyn who saw her and blocked with Tartarus sheath. Calisto's guns met the sheath of Evelyn's Tartarus as the two struggled to overpower the other.
"Believe me none of this was my intention." Evelyn said as she glared at Calisto intently. The two managed to bash each other away while glaring at each other. "I don't take kindly to being used as some pawn." Evelyn said with a growl as Calisto glared at her foe.
But then Evelyn began to walk away not even bothering with Calisto more then she had to at the moment. "You're not going anywhere you may not have been part of it by intention but you were by choice, you're going to answer for what you did." Calisto said as she pointed her guns at Evelyn.
"Regrettably… I can't let you get in my way." Evelyn said as she glared back at Calisto with Tartarus in hand ready to draw. The two then charged at each other and began to attack as Calisto swung her guns at Evelyn who blocked it with Tartarus and deflected them to avoid being shot at. Evelyn had to admit Calisto was fast.
Evelyn of course swept Calisto off her feet with a leg swipe but Calisto then stood on her hands and used the guns on her feet to attack Evelyn. Evelyn jumped back and used Tartarus to block the bullets as they came at her before slicing through a few of them. Evelyn then began to focus and in turn summoned many Ethereal Blades and sent them at Calisto. Calisto responded by spinning on the ground similar to break dancing and firing all four of her guns stopping the swords as they came at her. Just then Calisto pointe her gun at Evelyn's head as she held Tartarus at her neck.
*Insert Bayonetta OST: Red and Black
The two glared at each other intently ready to do battle before Evelyn spoke. "Very well if you choose to stand in my way then fall." Evelyn said before Calisto spun to her feet and swiped at Evelyn's legs. Evelyn jumped over it and in turn was met with Calisto going into her panther form and running around Evelyn before clawing at her. The attack hit before Calisto jumped up and raised her foot.
"BOOM!" Calisto roared out using a wicked weave kick at Evelyn. Evelyn blocked the attack with Tartarus before pushing the foot back and jumping out of the way. Evelyn and Calisto began to fight as Evelyn relied on the Tartarus while Calisto relied upon her guns and her skills as a gunslinger. Calisto then jumped back and ran around Evelyn firing her guns off only for Evelyn to block the attacks with her Tartarus blade. She even managed to catch them and send them back to Calisto who then with incredible flexibility dodged the attacks with ease.
She then flipped away and avoided an attack from Evelyn who got close to her. Calisto proceeded to use Witch Time when she dodged slowing down time so she can counter attack against Evelyn. Calisto began to shoot and beat down on Calisto during, Witch Time doing a great deal of damage to the tri-breed.
When Witch Time came to an end Evelyn was sent flying back from the injuries she received that were already healing. She flipped around and slid on her feet glaring at Calisto knowing she had Witch Time at her disposal. As the battle progressed the two were fighting similar to how Evan and Evelyn did battle but the twisted pleasure they derived from it wasn't there. Calisto wanted to hurt Evelyn for hurting her brother and that was all the reason she needed to kick this tri-breed girl's demonic ass.
"You're not worthy as my opponent!" Evelyn called out slashing her sword with a Judgment cut only for Calisto to turn into a swarm of bats and avoid the attack. She then appeared before Evelyn and spun kicked at her neck.
Evelyn slid back and in turn charged straight for Calisto with Tartarus aimed for her neck. Calisto jumped back and fired her guns off forcing Evelyn to sheath Tartarus and block the bullets coming her way. Calisto and Evelyn then passed by each other as Evelyn was grazed by a few bullets and Tartarus got a nick at her cheek. The two passed by each other and then glared at each other once more with an intended glare present.
The two then dropped into a battle stance as Evelyn entered her Devil Trigger while Calisto did the same. The two glared at each other before charging straight at each other with their demonic power to fore with a roar. The two then charged at each other and began a close range battle as Calisto was an expert in the art of close range gunfights. She fired Evelyn deflected, Evelyn attacked Calisto redirected the attack.
The two were clearly driven to beat the other not to the level of Evan when he and Evelyn face each other but pretty close. As they fought Evelyn was forced to block a powered up Wicked Weave from Calisto as the battle progressed against each other. Calisto then switched to her twin blades and charged at Evelyn who charged with Tartarus. The two passed by each other and when they did gashes appeared on their forms.
"Intriguing." Evelyn said while reverting to her human form.
"Not bad." Calisto agreed as she wasn't done yet. "But this is where we part ways!" Evelyn called out as she got ready for one of her infernal summons. "AVAVAGO!" Calisto invoked with a spin as her clothing receded once more and in turn her wicked weave mixed with her demonic and silver power to pull of the summoning.
Evelyn saw the portal open and from it Gomorrah shot out and roared at her. Evelyn scoffed to her foe and in turn Gomorrah chomped down on her. The Demon got ready to chew her up but in turn was struggling to keep its maw shut. The reason for this was Evelyn forcibly opening the maw from the inside. Clearly her Sparda and Titan blood allowed her advantages against an Infernal Summoning.
Evelyn then jumped out and while midair began slashing the air before Gomorrah. When the demon was about to attack again millions of gashes appeared on its form thanks to the Tartarus before its body fell limp. From there the Demon was dragged back into Inferno so it can recover from this defeat. Evelyn landed on a light post and glared down upon Calisto who glared back at her ready for more.
*End OST
But before there battle cold progress the area began to rumble and when it did the duo had to hold on to something. Evelyn jumped down and stabbed her sheathed Tartarus into the ground while Evelyn grabbed a nearby light post for support. Just then the ground broke apart and from it something shot out and hit the nearby building.
From there a massive demon came out from the rubble bound and shackled as it roared in fury. "A Behemoth… despite the Final Fantasy Name looks nothing like those assholes who made Evan rage quite." Calisto said as Evelyn saw this and scoffed.
"You can handle this one on your own." Evelyn said as she began to walk away.
"Hey!" Calisto cried out trying to stop Evelyn but the Behemoth was already on the attack before she could. "Shit!" She cried out and avoided the attack. "Not a Devil Arm worthy demon but what the hell let's kill it." Calisto said ready to win against this ugly metal bondage bound foe.
(With Evan's Group)
The group had fought their way through many foes while making their way to Fenrir's lair. As they walked though they soon saw more Demons appear from the ground around them roaring in fury. "Jeez these guys don't know when to quit." Evan said as he saw them surrounding them.
"Hey! Hey look out!" Corvus cried out and in turn the group ducked when a blast of cold air came by and froze the demons in their tracks. The roar was what came with the blast as it erupted a small snow storm. The group huddled together for warmth when the storm quickly cleared.
The creature that caused it was a large wolf big enough for a person to ride as its appearance was clearly demonic. It growled and jumped down from its perch and glared at the group with beast like topaz eyes. It had chain cuffs around its ankles, razor sharp claws and fangs with a spike collar of sorts that had chains hanging off the collars edges. Its body had bone spikes on it but despite its demonic appearance it's was clearly at home here and clearly it looked majestic.
"There's the son of a hellhound Fenrir!" Corvus called out as he then flew over to his best friend. "Fenrir buddy pall what's up!?" Corvus called out as Fenrir glared at Corvus and growled at him.
"Annoyed since you came here to bother me again." Fenrir responded in which Evan heard.
"Hey sorry bout that look I got us some help with our Big M problem upstairs you feel me?" Corvus said as the Demi-Gods minus Evan looked confused.
"He does know it's not responding right?" Annabeth asked as she looked to Percy and Evan.
"What do you mean didn't you hear him say he was annoyed?" Evan asked as Patty shrugged to this.
"I didn't hear a thing." Patty said as Corvus and Fenrir were talking.
"These pups can help us… I doubt it." Fenrir said in which only Corvus and Evan can hear the demon hound speak.
"Hey I managed to fight my way here fuzzy lips!" Evan called out pointing at Fenrir despite the size difference.
"Now that's surprising." Fenrir said as Corvus nodded.
"Yeah buddy the kid can understand you!" Corvus said as he was surprised to see this happen.
"Wait… of course!" Annabeth gasped as she looked to Evan. "Evan as the son of Artemis you have special gifts like the rest of us not only to control trees but also commune with animals most associated with your mother, it's no wonder you were willing to trust Corvus!" Annabeth called out as she looked to Evan.
"But Fenrir's a demon how can Evan understand him?" Percy asked as he was at a lost.
"Because of his father's demon blood in the mix, factoring this in Evan can probably communicate with such demons like Fenrir." Annabeth said as Patty realized this.
*Insert Devil May Cry 5 OST: Roar! Roar! Roar!
"So as a tri-breed he can understand me." Fenrir said as he smirked at Evan with glee. "Well then that changes things." Fenrir said as he looked at Evan. "I still have my doubts about your strength so face me one on one pup, win and we shall move as one against Mundus… lose and you die here and now." Fenrir said issuing his challenge to Evan.
"Oh this should be good, trust me Fenrir this guy is no joke the crème of the top." Corvus said as he flew around before moving out of the way.
"We shall see." Fenrir said as he was ready to see what Evan can do to aid them against Mundus. In turn Fenrir roared out and unleased his power upon the area as Corvus was blasted back with Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Patty. Evan held firm of course as the wind blew around him causing his coat to flutter. Despite being smaller then a Cerberus his Ice Powers could rival some of their top brass.
Evan saw this and smirked as he knew what was coming and in turn took a battle stance with a few test punches. "Well then." He began sending a few warm up punches. "Let's have fun!" Evan called out in a battle stance while making a bring-it-on gesture with his right hand.
Fenrir started by vanishing into the storm and roaming around it like a phantom or a spirit. Evan looked around for his foe as he focused on his senses to find him. He focused on the demons scent and the sound it made when its paws moved about. As Evan waited he opened his eyes and smirked and in turn pulled out Hunter and pointed it behind him. Just as he did that Fenrir had jumped out and in turn narrowly avoided Evan's gun when he fired it off. Fenrir slid on the snow and snarled at him with an intense glare upon him.
"Nice try." Evan said swinging Hunter in his hand in a taunting manner before Fenrir.
Fenrir roared out and in turn began to spin like a wheel before charging at Evan who dodged the attack and slashed at Fenrir. Fenrir glared at Evan after skidding to a halt and went on the attack. Claws and fangs came at Evan but he dodged and avoided them all with ease. Clearly showing that with years of having demons and monsters after him and his sister he learned the tricks of the trade.
Evan then jumped back and began to fire off his guns Hunter and Slayer at Fenrir. The Bullets hit the demon wolf but it seemed to have thick armor as the bullets bounced off the demons form. Evan sighed and in turn jumped in with Elysium drawn. Fenrir did the same and the two ended up passing and slashing at each other. With each pass a slash was seen showing the two were really going at it in this fight. As Evan fought his foe Fenrir noted that Evan was being a tad bit cocky about it… in fact many demons had described Dante of fighting a similar way when they managed to escape him. Evan was treating it like a game which while childish showed the boy was clearly much like his father I that regard.
Evan then blocked one of Fenrir's attacks and bushed the Demon back. In turn Evan switched to Titan and began to punch and kick the Demon Wolf with successive attacks. The battle progressed and Evan jumped up with a drop kick only for Fenrir to avoid the attack. When he did this Fenrir's maw began to release an icy mist while growling at Evan with pure rage. Fenrir then roared out firing a blast of ice and frost at Evan who dodged it.
"Wow talk about freezer burn!" Evan called out smirking at what he just saw there.
Fenrir roared once more and went on the attack on Evan who proceeded to start ducking and dodging the attacks as they came. Luckily the Storm had long since vanished and Evan's friends were made to be observers of Evan's fight going on against Fenrir. "Wow look at him go." Percy said as he saw how Evan moved around.
"Well that's Evan for you powerful by stylish in battle." Patty said with pride for her dearest friend in the world.
"Still." Annabeth said worried a bit while mentally making back up plans if things end up going south for them.
Evan ad Fenrir were still duking it out to which Fenrir got to the center of the area and began to growl a gain. He in turn released a roar like howl to the area causing the ground to not only freeze but produce ice spikes as part of it. Evan dodged and avoided them by jumping around while getting closer to Fenrir. Evan then had to dodge as Fenrir got to him and was able to avoid the surprise attack but still got grazed. Evan rolled on the ground but flipped to his feet with ease before drawing Elysium and blocking Fenrir's next attack.
Fenrir and Evan glared at each other before the Demon Wolf was pushed back before the two began to circle each other ready for more. Evan carefully dropped into a battle stance as Fenrir extended his claws ready to return the favor. The two glared at each other as they got ready to go buck wild and beat each other.
The two then charged at each other and in turn slashed at the other. But when they passed Evan stopped his dash and spun around using the momentum to increased Elysium's swinging speed and power. From there Fenrir never say it coming as he was in turn sent flying to the far wall where he hit it and broke it. Fenrir stayed there limp and injured as he tried to get his bearing and get back up.
But before he could Fenrir found Elysium pointed at his collar ready to skewer his neck or even decapitate him. "Give up bro?" Evan asked with a smirk on his face looking down on Fenrir.
*End OST
Fenrir growled for a moment but knew he was beaten here and thus had to admit defeat despite his pride not liking it. Fenrir in turn began to lower his head and show his neck a sign of submissiveness in many animals. Evan smirked and sheathed Elysium as he saw he won this fight. "What I tell you Fenrir this kid is just what we need!" Corvus flew in calling out as the snow began to die down.
"I can see that." Fenrir responded as Evan smirked to the wolf who began to walk torts him.
"So Fenrir you on board or what?" Evan asked as he looked to Fenrir who hunched into a sitting position.
"We are in agreement I shall accompany you in defeating Mundus and perhaps beyond. That is… if you can convince Furfur to aid us." Fenrir said as Evan heard this.
"Yeah old Furry isn't one to do much guys the toughest of us all and convincing him may be hard if you don't like illusions." Corvus said as he flew about the group. "But hey at least if he says no and kills you we can say we tried HAHAHA!" Corvus laughed as he flew about.
"Corvus… shut up." Fenrir said as he looked to his friend.
"Ok then… we better start moving." Evan said as he regrouped with his friend while Grover avoided the demon wolf walking near Evan.
"So we got more help good." Annabeth said as it seems Evan was turning into his mother as a hunter with these new demonic allies of theirs. The Question was if they stood a chance to both Mundus and Jubileus.
(Scene Break Dante and Artemis)
The couple was seen walking down the street to a large area in the city that was ruble and big enough for a huge fight. They were still on the main road to the Empire State Building but clearly they had been side tracked a couple of times already but not something detrimental. As they walked though Artemis stopped as she looked to something off to the side.
"What is it?" Dante asked as he saw Artemis make her way to the spot in question and moved her hand across it. They were claw marks deep ones and judging by the length and depth they were bear like.
Artemis was silent for a moment as she then saw something familiar belonging to her hunters but it was old age old from ancient Greek. "Trouble." Artemis said as she picked it up and gave the item in question a look over. It belonged to someone she knew very well but that shouldn't be possible at all. Yes there were demons who shared the names from Greek Mythology as well as other Mythologies but this wasn't mythology yet it was at the same time.
"What kind of trouble?" Dante asked as Artemis then stood up with a longing look in her eyes of her past.
"The sins of my past." Artemis confessed knowing full well she had to face the music someday.
"Need some help?" Dante asked as he looked to Artemis who then stopped him.
"No… I need to be the one who puts this to rest by my own hands." Artemis said as she knew if she didn't do it those she hold dear her children and her hunters would suffer for it. "Dante… if I don't come back from this then tell Evan and Calisto." Artemis began only for Dante to cut her off.
"I won't need to them anything Arty because I know you'll come back from it." Dante said as he then began to walk away. "I'll meet you at the Empire State Building and Mt. Olympus." Dante said as he walked away with a wave of his hand.
Artemis smiled to this before she turned to the opposing path and glared at it. "I'm coming Kallisto… lets settle this once and for all." Artemis said as she knew that her sins was haunting her with one of her biggest her former hunter Kallisto whom was raped by Zeus so long ago and who was her daughters most honored namesake. Artemis knew she had wronged her loyal Hunter and in turn broke her oath as the defender of Maidens. IT took Dante and the demons he fought against to open her eyes. The fear of losing her hunters to the demons was the catalyst. This catalyst opted her to take her vow seriously and prevent her father from having his way with any woman on her watch.
But she also knew another fact if it was who she thought it was then Artemis will be expected. "I know I wronged you… but I swear I'll set things right." Artemis said as she knew if anyone was a target for Kallisto's rage… it was Artemis herself… after all she was the one who caused Kallisto to go down this path to begin with.
(Scene Break Manhattan Mall)
The mall was deserted and empty as this famous mall was one of many locations afflicted by the Demon Scourge. In the center where the Christmas tree was set up every year a Demonic set of eyes opened as the creature sniffed the air. It then proceeded to growl smelling a scent most familiar to her as she got up revealing her demonic form to be that akin to a bear. Her demonic eyes glared as her fanged filled both growled and gritted as he smelled her.
"Artemis." The demoness growled as she got up intent of meeting Artemis and striking her down where she stood. After all these centuries all her waiting and planning, losing her child, being murdered as some common beast, her fall into Inferno, and her rise as a Demon. At long last she would exact revenge so rightfully deserved.
She was wronged and in turn she opened her heart to darkness and evil. In turn she would never allow herself to be wronged again and her ultimate revenge to kill Artemis and all that she stood for. Artemis may be the hunter but now this day no longer was Artemis the Hunter she was now the hunted and this demon was her undertaker her hunter. She salivated at the thought of what her former lady would taste like. IT was made worse as she even pictured Artemis children and what she would do to them when she got her claws on them.
Kallisto had died that day and was reborn as the Demoness Ursa Destroyer of the Stars. And thus Ursa hungered for revenge long overdue.
(Next Building over the roof)
A familiar blond haired demoness in black leather stood atop the building as she saw Ursa was there. She had been avoiding Demons left and right who wanted the Sparda but Trish was a tricky woman. She knew Dante and Artemis would split up at some point and thus had arrived to provide the Goddess of the Hunt with some aid in this major fight. She then looked nearby and could tell Artemis was making her way to the mall to find her former Hunter. "Well better make sure the misses doesn't end up late." Trish said before she jumped down from the roof to meet up with Artemis and provide her with some help.
Trish just knew things were getting crazy and with crazy means fun and with fun they get paid big bucks. After all Devil Hunting isn't a free service after all. In turn she followed after Artemis because if she knew Demons she knew the one Artemis was hunting. Ursa was once a human who served Artemis and knew held a grudge against the mentioned Goddess. Thus Trish had to do what she must to make sure the Goddess of the Hunt and the Wild made it back save and sound to her hunters but also above all others her family.
Trish had met Artemis during their trip to Mallet Island back when she had still been in the service of Mundus. Artemis was no doubt suspicious of Trish seeing as she looked so much like Dante's mother the grandmother of the twins. In fact it was to the point Artemis made sure the twins were watched over by her hunters when she had arrived at Devil May Cry to basically hire Dante to stop Mundus. Her hunch was on point in both cases because after they left Artemis had received word the twins were attacked when they left the walls of Devil May Cry.
It opted, Artemis to use more of her powers as an Olympian to make sure they were protected as her Hunters were lucky to have survived that confrontation. It lead to Bayonetta coming to pick up the slack with the twins and thus Artemis was able to focus on beating Mundus. She still remembered how she discovered Artemis was aware of Trish from the very beginning. It was a surprised how Artemis didn't act upon it back then. But for now Trish knew musings had to wait since right now they all had a job to do which was stop Mundus and Jubileus from revitalizing their power at all costs. Thus she continued to follow after Artemis to provide her with aid if she so needed.
(Meanwhile with Dante)
As Dante made his way through the City he soon heard a boom sound and looked to see a familiar face. "Well looks like Mundus brought back the whole gang." Dante said as standing before him was Nelo Angelo glaring at him. But unlike last time when all he did was roar and grunted it seems this one was completely silent save for the clanking of his armor.
Nelo Angelo took a battle stance as he held his massive blade in both hands and got ready to rumble. "Well when in Rome." Dante said as he then took a battle stance ready to do battle with this revived Nelo Angelo. In turn the two charged at each other and proceeded to begin their battle against each other.
(Meanwhile back over with Evelyn)
Evelyn was ever closer to the Empire State Building as she avoided any major side tracks. The only ones she had to mention was with that man from before and Calisto but they would not deter her from her goal. The power she desired was awaiting her and she would not allow neither the realms of Heaven or Hell to get in her way. She needed more power she lusted for it and thus Evelyn will acquire the power she desires even if it means sacrificing her soul for it.
But as Evelyn made her way down the path she was being followed by a shadow the same shadow from when Percy and Patty faced Ares. The shadow looked upon her and smirked before vanishing back into the darkness from whence it came. No doubt this shadow had plans and Evelyn played a role in them. This shadow knew how to play the game and use Evelyn's lust for power against her. All it had to do was play the long game and wait it out until the right moment.
Evelyn wanted power Kronos can use that he knew of the Prophesy and knew Evelyn fit the role of it perfectly. Thus for the sake of the power she craves and the sake of his revenge against his children and Rhea his wife he will use Evelyn. Mundus had turned Vergil into Nelo Angelo long ago and as the old say go like father like daughter. When the shadow was gone Evelyn looked back to where it one was but saw nothing before she continued on her way to the Empire State Building.
Soon very soon the golden age of the Titans shall return and they will once more rule this world and everything that was upon it. When that day comes Kronos will once more sit upon the throne in which he ruled everything.
