"Talk"
'Thought'
[ABILITIES/WEAPONS]
After suching a depressing end of a good fight, and leaving behind a broken kitten with her dead ex, which is honestly the safest place she could be at, Team DRW(B)Y continues to move forward, and head to the next locations, so that they could finish their mission, go home, get the reward and call it a day, though while they were doing so, the Devil Hunter took a moment to lean against the wall, and pinch the bridge of his nose, refusing to release any tears and cry, the Corrupted Gals immediately quickly rushed to his aid, comforting him and making sure he was ok
"I'm fine!"
Dante refused the help and pity, clearly doesn't want to be seen as weak
"Don't push yourself, you just... Lost someone important."
Ruby couldn't help but swallow hard when saying that, knowing how devastating all this was
"Yes, you need to rest, you need time to think clearly, this is something you can't ignore, nor can you lose to those emotions you are feeling."
Weiss, while trying to sound stern, spoke in a gentle voice, she knew this was something she needed to be careful in, one wrong word can ruin everything
"I understand how you feel, I know what you're going through, and whatever you plan to do, we would've done the same, but that's why you have us, to stop you from pushing too hard and making any mistakes, please Dante..."
Yang, and the other two, knew what he was going through, even if they didn't, the thought of losing their own sibling was something they wouldn't handle well, which is why they were here, with each other, to both comfort and protect one another, including their Leader
"... I'm fine..."
Dante, while the word's of his teammate, no, his friend's did calm him down a little, he still refuse the help, he still had the desire to move forward, the desire to fight, the desire to finish this, and the desire to kill Mundus, he will not stop any of it, no matter what, he was ready for it, ready for all of it, ready to complete his mission, and the RW(B)Y Girl's knew this, and despite their many protest, they knew they couldn't stop him, well, at the very least he wouldn't do it alone, a fact the Man In Red very much appreciate, and with nothing more to say, the Devil Hunting Group move on, to fight more demons, solve more puzzles, discover new weapons, and, find a new room, which was big, covered in mysterious amount of red glowing writing, and had a certain 'Injured' Devil Blonde in the far end of the room
"Dante! Help Me!"
This 'Weaken' Trish quickly made Ruby, Weiss and Yang suspicious, since to them, she looked fine, and was about to point it out
"Trish!!"
Unfortunately the three doesn't have a say in it, as Dante quickly wasted no time rushing in and tries to help the Devil Blonde, which made them sigh but quickly follow their Leader, which they immediately regretted as a the Demonic Squad were trapped in a force field cage, which was made worse when a demonic sludge with armour appears in the cage, which roars and gurgles in blood lust
"Trish! Stay Back!"
Dante quickly pulls out his [Rebellion, ready to fight off the enemy and protect the 'Fallen' Biker Lady
"Ugh, I always have to clean up someone else's mess."
Weiss was beyond annoyed with this, as were the other two Corrupted Gals, all three pulling out their weapons and ready to fight off the Demonic Sludge while also having to save another damsels in distress, it was going to be a long day for them, and to make it worst, when Team DRW(B)Y wasn't looking and were focus on the Devil Slime, Dante, Ruby and Yang were hit with a electrical attack, causing them to fall on their knees in extreme pain, which shocks Weiss and was about to help them, but her momentary distraction was enough for the Nightmare to shoot a thin laser that pierce her knees, shoulders and elbows, forcing her to fall and now wait until her injuries are healed
"You fool, you're so easy~."
The Devil Hunting Group look up and saw a smirking Trish standing up and looking completely fine, as if she was never hurt in the first place
"Trish... You?"
Dante spoke in disbelief, as if never expecting such betrayal, as for RW(B)Y Girl's, while they did have their doubts of her being on their side, it still made them very pissed off to see her easily betray them in such a cruel way
"Mortals... What sweets, you should know better than to trust a stranger, your presence has become a hindrance to my master's bloody scheme~."
Trish continues to taunt the fallen Demonic Squad, which made the Girl's growls while the Man In Red looks down in disbelief
"Now DIE!!!"
Both Trish and Nightmare charge up their electrical/laser attacks, before shooting both at them at full power, which forced the Corrupted Gals to flinch and brace for the attack, though before they could hit them, the Devil Hunter let's a rage filled yell and activates his [Devil Trigger, doing so let out a outbursts of power which made a shockwave that destroys the attack, broke the cage, and knock back the Blonde Devil, hitting against the wall and fell unconscious, with one threat out of the way, the Red Devil glares the Demonic Sludge, who summons a bunch of metal floating balls and they all start to shoot [Laser Blasts] at him, who quickly pulls out his [Ebony Ivory] and shoots each laser shot aimed at him, each bullet pierce the blast attack and start to hit/explode all the metal balls, once the lasers were dealt with, the Son Of Sparda holster his pistols and pulls out his [Rebellion, once doing so, he dashed towards the Devil Slime and start to rabidly slash his large sword at the armour, each swing was getting faster, each attack was getting stronger and each strike forces the Nightmare to be pushed back, though the display of strength is not what caught the attention of the recovering RW(B)Y, it was their Leader's raw emotions and seeing him taking it on the Demonic Sludge in front of him, all the sadness from the lost of his brother, all the rage from the betrayal he just faced, and just being overall stressed from the type of day he was having, such untapped feeling that he released all at once was enough for the three lady's to back away and slightly coward in fear, as all they could do at the moment was watch the Devil In Red continue to wildly watch slash and strike down the Devil Slime with his [Rebellion, which broke and tore away it's armour, leaving it more exposed and more defenseless, and soon he ends it with a [Stinger] attack, which pierce it's body and let the sword stab into the core of the enemy, once doing so, the Nightmare let's out a loud scream of pain, as burst of energy starts shooting out everywhere and start hitting everything, forcing Dante to jump back and make the Corrupted Gals move out the away, once they were safe, the Demonic Sludge finally exploded and died, leaving nothing but bits and pieces, when that was over, the Devil Hunter deactivate his [Devil Trigger] and was back in his human like form, once doing so, he falls on his knees and used his sword to keep him up straight, he took deep breaths as he took a moment to collect his thoughts
"Dante?..."
The Demonic Human look up to see his Teammates carefully walk up to him, a bit worried that he might lash out again, which made him sigh and push himself to stand up
"Sorry ladies, I just, well, you saw what I did..."
Dante reassure them that he was ok now, he was able to let out all the pent up emotions he had inside, which made his Friend's and DGF let out a breath of relief, before quickly hugging their Leader, who smiles and hugs back tightly
"Nexts time you feel the way you do, just let it out, we can take it."
Yang looks at him and place her hand on his cheek, wearing a soft expression
"Yeah, it's better than bottling it all inside yourself."
Ruby looks up to him with such concern and worry
"Not to mention, I don't think we can handle or stop an uncontrollable Dante, heh."
Weiss still felt a little bit of fear towards him, which made him chuckles as he nods in understanding and let's them go
"Yeah, I'll do that, thank you."
Though before their little moment can continue, the four heard a small groan and some movement's, which made them look and noticed the Devil Blonde slowly waking and standing up, seeing her made a certain few angry and want nothing more than to send her back to hell, though, while they wanted to kill her, a certain Son Of Sparda wanted to save her, because once he noticed a huge rock about to fall and crush her, he immediately rushed forward and push her out of the way, a act that not only shock the RW(B)Y Girl's, but also the Demonic Lady, and once the Devil Hunter got off of the person she rescued and stood back up, he was immediately met with some backlash
"Dante, How Could You?!"
Ruby was completely confused of the action of her Leader
"Why Would You Dare Rescue Such A Monster, Such A Devil?!"
Weiss was in such disbelief that her Teammate would do something so unbelievable
"Wasn't Her Betraying You Enough To Convince You That She's Nothing More Than A Evil Demon That Needs To Be Put Down?!"
Yang was beyond enraged to see her Demonic Boyfriend save someone who tried to kill them, the Red Cost Devil just tries to ignore it all and walk past them, which infuriated them and were about to yell/question him more
"Dante... Why did you save my life?"
Trish cut everyone off and decided to ask herself, she didn't understand what was happening and why she was being spared, this made the Man In Red stop
"Because you look like my mother..."
Dante said simply, which was enough to make the Corrupted Gals and Blonde Devil go wide eyes in shock
"Now get out of my sight, the next time when we meet, it won't be like this."
Dante spoke coldly as he tries to walk away, this made the Demonic Lady to stand up and try to stop him
"Dant-"
Before Trish could say anything, she was quickly stopped by the Devil Hunter pulling out [Ebony] and aimed it at her
"Don't Come Any Closer You Devil! You May Look Like Her, But You're Nowhere Close To Her!"
Dante spoke with so much hate and rage that it scared his Teammates again, never seen him speak in such a way before
"You have no soul, you have her face but you'll never have her fire!"
Dante said with so much venom, and once he finished speaking he looked away and started walking off, the RW(B)Y couldn't help but look at their Friend with so much pity and sympathy, as they finally understood why he acted the way he did and trusts Trish so easily, which made them hate her more as they glare at her, to which the Blonde Devil looks down in shame and extreme guilt
"Come on girl's, we're one more location to go, then we'll be finally done..."
Dante calls out to them, no doubt wanting this to be over and finished with, the Corrupted Gals did not protest and quickly follows him, not saying another word to the Demonic Lady as they left, since there was no need to, and once the Devil Hunting Group was gone, she was all alone with her thoughts and heavy emotions
"You have failed me, Trish, you know the rules."
The voice of Mundus could be heard in the head of Trish, letting her that she has failed, and was ready to punish her, though she could care less about that, as she then gritted her teeth and clench her fist, and once her mind was made up, she knew what to do and teleport away in a flash of yellow lightning
Next chapter, will be the final showdown, hehe~
(Technically, now everyone in Team RWBY has suffered lost, Ruby lost her mom to Grimm, Yang lost both mother's and almost her sister to, Weiss lost family or friends from the White Fangs, and for Blake, well, now she lost the same lover's twice, and the 2nd one ended in her hands, heh, such a tragedy~)
