All Of you really want Valentino dead and you all gave me some idea, except for the guest who said dildo scythe -_- I know for sure Dante won't touch a dildo no less a devil arm one. Anyway, this chapter is dictated to you, WaterDragonMaverick.

Also, 100 follows in 3 chapters. Thanks, guys.

Mission 4: Snakes, Explosions, and Fried Eggs

A woman was running through the manor that was aflame. "Vergil! Dante!" The woman shouted as she was looking for her sons. She ran through the house avoiding demons as well as falling debris. 'Where are they?' She thought as she continued to run through the house. The woman ran to one of the rooms and spotted an eight-year-old Dante on the floor feeling dizzy. She was very relieved to spot one of her sons but panicked as she soon heard demons heading this way. She ran to her son and led him into a closet. "You need to hide, Dante. No matter what happens, you mustn't leave!" She told him as she turned to hear that the demons were getting closer. "I need to find Vergil. I promise I'll be back." She grabbed his face to look him in the eye. "I know it's hard. You must listen to me. Be a big boy…a man, huh?" She asked him as Dante, with a sad face, nodded his head. "If I don't return, you must run. By yourself, alone. You must change your name. Forget your past and start a new life as someone else. A new beginning." She smiled as she quickly closed the closet door as she quickly ran and called out for her other son as a scream of pain was heard.

Dante shot up from his dream as he rubbed the back of his head. "Never thought I would have that dream again. What time is it anyway." He looked around to see an alarm clock next to him. "Slept for two hours straight, huh. Well, might as well get some fresh air." He jumped off the bed, stretched out his muscles, and started to head out of his hotel room. As he makes it down the stairs, he hears some sort of commotion.

"So, there you have it, my effeminate fellow. Hell's entire history of Sparda." Alastor told the spider demon as they were sitting at the bar while Husker was drinking from his bottle of booze. "Any questions?"

"Nah, I'm good." The porn star said as he crossed his legs. "But I got a better understanding of why everyone is either on edge or idolizes the guy." He said before looking at Charlie. The princess of Hell was looking through a worksheet while Vaggie was next to her, keeping her company.

"Maybe we should make a billboard?" Charlie asked her girlfriend as she showed her the many ideas she was thinking about to promote the hotel.

"No offense Hun, but no one is going to take it seriously. Plus, there's the amount of money it's going to take to make one," Vaggie told her.

Charlie sighed as she crossed off that on the list. "Then how about a commercial?"

"Again, money is going to be an issue. Not to mention that the news media makes us look bad as well as what happened with Angel." The moth demon glaring at the spider.

"As I said, I owned my gal pal a fucking solid!" Angel shouted as he gave the finger to the one-eyed moth demon.

"With a turf war!"

"You're still pissed off about it? Come on I said I was sorry." Angel told her.

"It was thanks to that stunt that Charlie got into a fistfight with that slut of a reporter Katie Killjoy!"

"Wait, you got into a fistfight with a reporter?" Dante spoke up finally as he couldn't help but overhear the bickering between the spider and the moth.

"How much did you hear," Charlie asked the demon slayer.

"A lot. From the billboard to these two arguings." He said as he stood in front of the two females who were sitting on the couch. "So, you got into a fistfight with a news reporter?"

"Yeah… I will admit, I do regret it a little bit." Charlie smiled sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head. "It was when I was first promoting the hotel. I went to a news station and tried to convince everyone about giving redemption a chance, but that turned into a shitstorm, and laughed at the idea. And it got worse when Angel joined in on a turf war."

"Come on, you're gonna keep mentioning it!?" Angel shouted in annoyance.

"Well, I thought it was very entertaining," Alastor said with a grin.

"Anyway, I took her pen, called her a bitch and the rest is history." She smiled sheepishly. "After that, we were kicked out of the studio, looked to find Angel, then went back here. Now, I'm looking for another way to promote the Hotel. Maybe you would like to look at these ideas." she asked as she handed him the papers.

The demon hunter wasn't really into reading anything that wasn't a magazine or something that he was not too fond of. But he is staying here so he might as well see what she got. 'Why is everything highlighted? Is that a rainbow?' He looked through the list as some of the ideas were decent, while others seem too far out of reach. "Some of these are not bad, but if you ask me, I'd focus on fixing up the place first." He told the Princess of Hell. "Make sure the place is cleaned up, have some of this furniture moved somewhere else, or got rid of it, fix the wallpaper, or hire some contractors."

"Would be nice but we can't be spending that much on the building if we can't promote it," Charlie said to him. "Plus, Al did help a little on the fixing."

"Then I guess I should get to work." He said going to the front door.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"To do my job. After all, I did say I would help you with your redemption project as well as kill the really rotten demons. And I can't do that if I'm sitting in this hotel all day. But I'll be sure to come back here before nightfall." the hunter told her as he waved her off.

"Wait," Charlie told him as he stopped about to walk out. "I just want to say I'm sorry about earlier."

"Don't worry about it," Dante said as he walked off and headed to the streets of Pentagram City.

"What happened earlier, my dear," Alastor asked as the Princess of Hell turned to him.

"What? Oh, it's nothing." Charlie replied as she tried to dismiss the Radio Demon's question. But it was Angel who pressed on.

"That's bullshit. Something happened and I know it, Toots. Let me guess, you two sucked face? And no that does not count as a sex pun," He yelled at the Radio Demon who just smiled innocently as he had his hands behind his back.

This of course got Charlie to blush really heavily as her pure white face was now a shade that matched her cheeks. "What! No! He just asked me a question and…. I panicked."

"And what did he ask, my dear," Alastor asked the Princess. However, Charlie bit her lower lip to not let a sound escape from her mouth.

"Don't you two have something better to do?" Vaggie yelled at both men.

"Indeed, I do. Now if you'll excuse me," Alastor got up from his seat, heading off somewhere while Angel Dust shrugged and went back to his room.

Charlie sighed with relief as she placed a hand on her girlfriends' shoulder and gave her a soft smile. "Thanks, Vaggie."

"Don't sweat it, hon," she said before giving Charlie a peck on the lips. "But what did happen between you two that made you want to apologize."

"As I said, he asked me a question and I panicked," Charlie chuckled. But the moth demon was not satisfied with her answer and gave her girlfriend a stern look. Charlie's grin dropped as she gave a sigh of defeat. "Okay but promise you won't get upset." She pleaded with her girlfriend. Vaggie rolled her eyes (at least one) gave an irritated sigh and nodded. "He asked me where our room is in case he needed to find me if I'm not in my office. And I told him where our room was."

"Wait what," Vaggie asked in surprise that her girlfriend gave that kind of information. "Why would you tell him!?"

"I don't know it just happened," She exclaimed and was careful not to mention the part where Dante got close to her face. If Vaggie did hear about it, then she would go all out on him. "As soon as I realized what I just said I handed him the keys and ran. So, I just wanted to apologize about running off all of a sudden."

"It's fine babe. Dios mío (My god), I hope he doesn't just barge in on us." The moth demon rubbed her temple as she would hate it if that were to happen.

"I doubt that he'd do that. We'll just be sure to lock the door. Now let's focus on improving the hotel." Charlie led her back on the couch where she was going over any ideas that were left.

Meanwhile in Pentagram city

The Demon Hunter was walking through the streets, checking out the sight even if there was not much to look at. There was murder in the streets, hobos smoking weed or shooting heroin in their veins, and prostitutes around every corner. Dante should kill them, but he did keep his word, for Charlie's sake that he won't kill unless they were really scummy or self-defense. 'Just wish there was some type of action going around right about now. If not, I could try finding an ice cream shop.' As if his wish was answered, a blast was soon seen on the west side of the city as what looked to be a 20-foot-tall bronze robot with metallic hands and gears all over its body. It was stomping around the streets as it knocked over buildings and crushed parked cars. It fired off a rail gun from its left arm and a machine gun on its right. While a shooting missile from its back. "Cute toy. Can't wait to break it." Dante said with a smirk as he walked through the streets, hands in pockets.

Meanwhile, in the giant robot, many egg minions were operating the controls of the machine while others were running around celebrating or cheering. Sitting in front of the master controls was a black snake-like demon with many red eyes along his body and a black and yellow striped vest with a black top hat with a single red eye in the center. "Soon, I, Sir Pentious, shall rule over Hell with my new robot! They thought I was a fool, laughed at me, but who's laughing now!" He pressed a button that made the robot fire a laser out of its chest, disintegrating the streets below.

"Gee that was swell, boss." One Egg Boi said.

"You really are cool."

"Can you shoot me with your ray gun?"

Pentious raised a brow as to why that particular minion of his wants to be shot with his ray gun all the time. He just shrugs it off and focuses on his destruction. "Soon, the western side of Pentagram City will be mine, then the rest of Hell shall know of-"

"Sir Edgelord," shouted a female voice in the distance as the snake demon hissed as he knew who shouted that name from their last encounter. A small red bomb hit the giant robot square in the chest but only made a small dent in the machine. On top of the roof was a 6-foot-tall female cyclops demon with a bush of pinkish blond hair wearing ripped up black leggings and a red off-shoulder crop top. In her hand was a small red bomb that she was lightly tossing up and down like a baseball. "I thought I told her to take your junk off my turf!" Cherri Bomb threw another one this time at the head but still didn't do much damage.

Sir Pentious laughed his head off as Cherri Bomb continued to throw her bombs. "Oh, but this time it's different. I have upgraded my material and built even better machines than ever! So those fireworks of yours are nothing more than a few sparks!" He continued to laugh as he pulled levels as the robot's left arm rose and shot its machine gun at the woman.

Cherri quickly dodges the bullets from the robot's gun and jump off to another rooftop as the previous one was knocked over thanks to the robot. 'Damn that was close.' She thought to herself as she continued to throw more of her bombs.

The bombs hit the machine, but the bombs did little to little damage to the robot. "Like I told you, you one-eyed whore, those firecrackers are useless!" The Snake demon laughed as he pulled the lever that operates the right hands of the robot, firing its rail gun.

Once again, Cherri jumped off the roof onto another building as the rail gun made a hole right into the building. 'Come on, I have to have something that can take down that damn huge.' She thought to herself as she was trying to come up with a plan. 'It should have some weak points somewhere?' She ran to dodge the incoming bullets. 'Shit!' She thought to herself as the next building had a bigger gap than the previous ones, meaning she was trapped.

This of course made the snake demon grin as he made his robot grab a hold of Cherri. The cyclops demon was struggling to get loose of the machine, but the robot's grip was squeezing her really tight as she cried in agony. "Oh yes! Let's hear those screams of pain!" He laughed menacingly as he continued to crush her. "Your Striped Freak of a friend won't be able to help you now! And once I'm done with you, I will take your territory and many others as I will rule Hell! Soon, everyone will fear the name of Sir Pent-"

He started to hear loud knocking and wonder where that noise was coming from. The Egg Bois were looking around as well wondering where that noise was coming from. Sir Pentious looked through the monitor of his machine as he can see Dante was knocking on the robot's foot like it was some kind of door. "Who in the seven circles is this jackass? He has a stylish coat through," he admitted as he looked through the monitor. He positioned the robot more down, while still holding onto Cherri. "What do you want?"

"Well, you see pal, I'm new around these parts and I'm looking for directions where they sell strawberry sundaes. Mind pointing me in the right direction." Dante asked the man inside the machine.

"Oh well that's simple, you just make a… wait a second! There are no strawberry sundaes around here." Sir Pentious hissed angrily.

"You sure? Cause I am really craving one right about now." The red-clad man said as he looked up.

"Well, maybe I can fill your hunger with this." The snake demon shouted as he fired his railgun at the demon hunter and ended up leaving a crater in the streets.

"Aren't you a little too old to be playing with toys?" Dante joked as he rested on the arm opposite of Cherri, making the snake demon wonder how he got up there. In fact, how did he dodge at point-blank range?!

"Doesn't matter, I'll wipe that smirk off that face of yours!" Pentious pressed a button as the Robot moved its gears all over its body and shot a bunch of missiles right at him.

"Time to get to work," Dante told himself as he pulled Ebony & Ivory out and started to fire at the missiles, destroying all but one of them with ease. He jumped on the last missile and started to ride it like it was a surfboard. Dante was screaming and howling with joy as he was surfing the air while Sir Pentious, Cherri, and the Egg Bois all looked in confusion as to what they were seeing. The Devil Hunter decided that it was time to get things rolling as he surfed his way back to the robot and jumped off the rocket as it hit the robot's arm that was holding onto Cherri.

The lights were blinking red inside of the robot as Sir Pentious was looking over the damage via the monitor. "What's our damage, you ungrateful omelets?!"

"Major damage to the left arm boss."

"It's losing a lot of power."

"Don't just stand there, fix the damn thing." Sir Pentious hissed at the Egg Bois as they scattered to see if they could repair the arm. "It's so hard to find good henchmen these days," he told himself as she slumped over the controls.

The Egg Bois went out through an emergency hatch, but soon were shot and yolk-covered intestines splattered across the metal. Dante was now on top of the arm, Rebellion out. "Now that I think about it, I'm actually in the mood for some eggs." He smirked as he brought his sword down on one of them in a vertical slash and uppercut horizontal on the other. The Demon Hunter was slicing and dicing at these so-called underlings as he was now covered in yolk blood. "Hmm, I wonder how good they are cooked? Fried or boiled?"

"Hey dipshit, mind helping me out of this thing," Cherri shouted at Dante as she was still wrapped around the robot's hands.

"I'll think about it, maybe after I take this hunk of junk down." He said, cutting down more Egg Bois. "Originally, I was looking to see if there were any demons that I could kill or help reform at this hotel I'm staying at. As it turns out, option one was available."

Did he just say kill demons or help reform them for a hotel? Now that she was thinking about it, Angel did say he was staying at a hotel that matched the discretion. "Hey, Do you know a guy named Angel Dust? Spider demon, four arms usually, gold tooth, dresses like a chick?"

"So, you're friends with Freakshow? I know him, tried to get in my pants but I turned him down." Dante told the cyclops as he put away Rebellion and took out his guns.

Normally, anyone who insults her friend would be blown to pieces, but she was in no condition to insult the man in red any further, or else she would be next on the double dead list. "I'll reason with you, you let me out of here and I'll tell Angie to stop harassing you. Also, I can help down this pile of junk."

"Nah, I'm good," he said as he continued to fire at the Egg Bois.

Cherri had to think of something but what? Then it hit her. "I know a place where they sell strawberry sundaes."

"Now you're talking," Dante smirked as he put away Ebony and grabbed Rebellion on his back to pry open the robot's hand. Cherri lifts herself out of the cold, metallic hands of the robot and throws one of her bombs in one of the hatches. "Nice throw."

"Thanks, you want one?" she said as she offered a bomb to him.

"I'm good. Besides, I think we end this." Dante runs with Rebellion in hand as he moves to the shoulder of the robot, jumps in the air, and brings a vertical slash at its arm, cutting it like a hot knife to butter. The Demon Hunter quickly ran down towards the streets as the left arm fell onto the street along with its railgun.

"What's going on?! What was that crash?" Sir Pentious asked in a panicked tone.

"We lost the left arm and the rail gun, boss!"

"What!?" He looked at the controls as he saw that the left arm was deactivated. He looked at the streets to see that the arm was laying on the streets. He then sees the Devil Hunter with his sword in hand. 'Who is this guy? And how much power does he have?'

"Are you going to get out of that tin can or are you going to hide and let your hatchlings do all the dirty work?" Dante asked as he pointed his sword at the robot.

"You want to go! Well then have a taste of this!" Sir Pentious pulled some levers as the right arm was firing its machine gun at him as Dante was dodging bullets running towards him. "Oh no, you don't!" The snake hissed as he pressed the button that fires off the chest laser. Dante quickly dodged the attack and shot his pistols at the weapon. "You think those things can harm my ultimate weapon!"

"Yeah, but it's mainly to distract you," Dante told him, continuing his barrage.

"Say what now?" Sir Pentious questioned while he tilted his head in confusion as to what he was talking about. Little did the serpent know, Cherri was back on the rooftops so she could jump on the machine and planted many explosives on its joints and back. Once the final explosive was placed, she jumped off the gargantuan and right into the streets.

"He's all yours!" The cyclops yelled to Dante.

At Cherri's signal, Dante ran up close and spotted one of the explosives. Pulling out Ebony and Ivory, he flourished the pistols and took aim before saying one word he considered his catchphrase. "Jackpot." Pulling the triggers, the bullets made their way into the joints, setting off a chain reaction of explosions after the first bomb was detonated, tearing the robot to pieces. A scream was heard as something, or someone was sent flying out of the machine and skirted in front of the Demon Hunter's boot. "So, you're the one operating the machine? I kind of expected some giant chicken since you commanded eggs. I guess I could use some new snakeskin boots, though." He picked up the Kingpin with one hand and about to grab his sword from his back.

"Wait, don't kill me, please! I just wanted to prove that I'm worthy of being an Overlord." Sir Pentious begged as his hood retracted in fear. "I'll tell you anything you want!"

"Anything, huh? Okay, what are the best pizza places around the city?" Dante asked as his hand was off his sword, still holding the snake in the air.

It was a weird question, but if it meant being spared then he'll gladly answer. "That would be 666 Pizzeria, Giovanna's Kitchen, and the Angry Tomato." He said with a whimper. "Also, I recommend the Sicilian Garden, it's expensive but has good food."

"Not bad, I'll try to order from those guys. Also, know any really scummy demons around these parts?"

"Well, there is Valentino, Vox, Katie Killjoy, Ace Dukes, Sergeant Dread, Falco Redgrave, and many others I don't know the names of right now." He told Dante. "Can you let me go now?"

"Go on and scream," Dante told him as he let him go. The snake demon didn't argue as he slithered away with some of his Egg Bois close behind.

"You sure you want to let him go? You know it would be a bad idea if he does come back." Cherri Bomb said as she walked alongside him.

"If he does come back, then he's a lost cause since I don't give second chances," Dante told her. "Now about those strawberry sundaes?"

"A deal is a deal, just follow me." She leads him to where the shop is as he follows right behind her.

Unbeknownst to both of them, a certain Radio Demon was in the shadows as he chews on pieces of flesh. "Very fine work, Son of Sparda. I have a feeling; you are going to give me the entertainment I craved." Alastor grinned as he slipped back into the shadows with his own following after him.

And that is all I have for you folks; I hope it was to your enjoyment? So, what will happen next? Let's just say Dante is going to be well known at this point and is not going to be hiding. Remember to Like, Review, Follow, and Favorite this story and other stories I made. I bid you all a farewell.
