"Talk"

'Thought'

[ABILITIES/WEAPONS]


Dante was in the middle of driving a car, which had the Team DRW(B)Y Logo, all the while in the back seat there was Ruby and Patty sitting together and talking to one another, no doubt having a lovely conversation

"I hope this doesn't come out rude, but why did you take on this type of profession? With someone as young as you, shouldn't you do something more with your life?"

Patty couldn't help but ask in curiosity, finding it odd to see this Red Devil Hoodie Girl become some type of fighter, in her mind, a lady should only care about shopping, looking pretty and finding love with a prince in shiny armour, she didn't understand, which made her female protector giggle

"Well, I always liked the thought of becoming a hero, saving the innocent, stopping evil, and looking cool doing it."

Ruby smiles softly, as she gently grabs the red gem that holds her scale hoodie together and opens it

"It's what my sister did, my father did, and mother did… And I wanted to become just like them."

Ruby then shows the Small Child a very detailed drawn picture of herself, her sister, her father and her mother, the Young Blonde looks and admires the drawing

"Wow… If that's the case, your parents must be very proud of you then."

Patty couldn't help but praise, though what she said made the Legendary Devil Huntress tense up slightly and catch the attention of Red Coat Devil

"Yes, they would be proud of me."

Ruby wore a calm expression, no doubt already had move on at the thought of going back home, even if it still stings her heart a little, the Human Kid gets a little confused at the sudden change of tone, but didn't dwell to much on it as the two Lady's just continue to talk, and while they had their little chat, the Son Of Sparda continues to drive, and as he does so, he noticed that up ahead in the road, a few demons stood firm and got ready to jump/attack the car, this made him hum as he glance up at the rearview mirror, and saw that his 2nd In Command realized what's happening and nods in understand, which made him smirk

"The sun is sure hot, let me turn on the shade."

Dante reaches out a hand to a small switch under the radio and flips it, which activates a sunroof and raise up tinted windows, which caught the attention of the Orphan and look around in wonder and confusion

"Hey Patty, wanna listen to my favorite songs?~"

Before the Young Blonde could reply, Ruby already took out some headphones and put it on her head, while also turning on the music

"Oh, this sounds so pretty!"

With Patty now distracted, the Corrupted Silver Eye's gave a thumbs up to her Leader, who just nods, putting on some shades, which gave him a 360 view of the outside of his car, and continues to drive forward into a group of demons, who lets out a loud roar and charge towards the car, the Devil Hybrid wore a arrogant smiles as he press on the triggers on his steering wheel, which reveals two gun barrel in the front of the vehicle, which quickly started gunning down all of the enemies that stood before him, making them fall on the road and get run over by the car

'Heh, what was I thinking on letting Ruby and Yang work on the car~'

Dante chuckles to himself, as he then saw a few Demons get pass the guns and got ready to attack from above, the Demonic Human press a button on his wheel, which let popped out four long blades on the four corners of the car roof and quickly started spinning like helicopter blades, chopping the demons into pieces

'Not that I'm complaining~...'

Dante continues his fun, purposely driving wildly and running over all the demons he sees, while letting the guns and spinning blades take care any stragglers, he was beyond over enjoying himself, though while driving like a madman, a single demon managed to avoid the chaos and was climbing on the side of the car, very careful to move around the blades/guns, it moved towards the driver's window and got ready to bring in, but before it could, the window rolled down and a silver gun [Ivory] gets shoved in the face of the devil and has it's entire head blown off

"Hey Dante! Can you keep it down, I'm listening to Ruby's music!"

Patty yells at the Son Of Sparda for making to much noise, which made the Demonic Hoodie Girl giggle

"Sorry little lady, I'll be sure to be quieter nexts time."

Dante closes his window, put away his pistol, and after making sure every demons were dead, he turns off all the car's weapon's and continues to drive like normal

"By the way Ruby, maybe add something for the window's? Don't need them reaching in and grabbing my head."

Dante quickly gave his opinion on the car's defense's, which made the Corrupted Silver Eyes pulled out a notebook and start writing in it

"Yeah, some electric shields should be added, or maybe some lasers? Hmm..."

Soon, after a long car ride, the day has become night, and once that happened, the three decided to find some hotel to spin the night at, so after a few more moment's of driving, they parked the car and went inside into a suspicious and creepy looking building with a even more suspicious and creepy man that stood behind the check in counter

"Give me the cheapest room you got for me and my niece's."

Dante pulls out a few couple bills and place it on the counter, to which the unusual guy takes and accepts the payment

"Two adults and one child, here's your key sir, enjoy your stay~..."

The Weirdo let's out a freaky smile as he gave a key to the Legendary Devil Hunter, who takes it and walks up to his partner and the Orphan Kid he's protecting

"Did we have to rent this place? It's so icky and gross here."

Ruby lets out a childish grossed out face, the Team Leader just shrugs as he pockets the key, before ready to walk off, which made her pout and puff her cheeks

"We'll survive, now come on, let's get some sleep and prepare for tomorrow."

The two Pro Demon Hunter's were about to leave, but stopped when they heard the Young Blonde say something that caught their attention

"That's my mother…"

What Patty said made the Two Adults look at her, and saw that she was looking at a poster with a blonde lady on it, much to their surprise, though before they could say anything about it, the Young Blonde rushed up to the creepy guy behind the counter

"Mister! Where Can I Go To Meet This Woman!"

Patty eagerly asked the man, no doubt wanted to so badly to meet to woman on the poster, the Unusual Guy wore a gross smile and was about to answer the Little Child

"What are you talking about? I thought your mother died?"

Dante quickly interrupts their conversation, he and his partner walks up to the one they're supposed to protect

"Patty, um, let's not jump into any conclusions, it might be just someone that looks like your mom."

Ruby, even though she felt terrible saying that, didn't want to give the Small Blonde any false hope, she knew how dangerous that can be and the many trouble that can it can lead

"B-But-"

Patty wanted to protest, but the Red Coat Devil just place a hand on her shoulder and shook his head no, which made her sigh in defeat, then after that was cleared up, the three walked off and headed towards their room, all the while the Creepy Man looks at them with his gross smile, he reaches for the phone and started to make a call

"The girl is here~..."

Meanwhile, back with the three, they were in the middle of settling in the one bedroom apartment, with Patty sitting on the bed, looking a little bum out, Dante just laying on the couch, ready to take a nap, and Ruby just sat near the window, looking outside and keeping a watch for anything suspicious, there a moment of silence between the three

"... I don't really care about my family's fortunes…"

This made the two Protector turn their heads and look at Patty, who was hugging her knees close to her chest

"And even if I do get it, I would just use it to buy all the sweets, clothes and toys for all the kid's back at the orphanage…"

Patty tightly held her legs closer and tighter, all while the Two Pro Devil Hunter's continue to listen and watch to what she had to say

"But, even if they get those things, that's not what they really want, just like me, all they want is to see their mother's and father's, that's all they want… That's all I want…"

Patty begins to tear up, closing her eyes and refused to cry, but before she could, she felt a gentle hug, which made her look up and saw the Devilish Rose holding her closely and comforting

"Tomorrow, we can visit that show if you like, even if she's not your mother, it should make you feel better, if only a little… Would you like that?"

Ruby looks at the Small Blonde, using her red cape to wipe away the tears of the Little Kid, who nods softly and hugs back

"Thank you Ruby…"

Patty smiles lightly, the ache and sadness momentarily left her heart as she felt nothing but comfort and reassurance, which was enough to make her relax and fall asleep in the arms of the Corrupted Silver Eyes, who just pet's her head lightly

"... Sometimes, no matter how badass we are, we forget that we're still human."

Was all Dante had to say about this, laying his back down and tries to fall back to sleep, what he said made the Devilish Rose rub her demonic silver eye

"Yeah, we are…"

Ruby couldn't help but smile to herself, very glad that she still has her humanity… A hour or two later, both Patty and Dante seems to be in a deep sleep in the small bedroom, all the while the Legendary Devil Huntress just sat next to window, looking outside and up to sky, seeing stars and the whole full moon up above, she couldn't help but sigh softly in satisfaction

'Seeing a Moon that isn't shattered, is always going to be breathtaking for me.'

Ruby very much enjoyed the sight, though before she could continue watching, her Corrupted Silver Eyes glow slightly, which quickly made her look down and see a few shadows in the dark alleyway below, she hums and glance at her Leader and the Small Child

'Hm~ A little night fun before bed~'

Ruby lets out a careless shrug before opening the window and simply jumped off and down, leaving the two in the room to continue their rest, and no doubt to fight some demons, though once she left, a small moth flew from under the bedroom door and went towards to the sleeping kid, landing on top of her head and spoke in a very familiar creepy voice

"Do you still wanna see your mama?~..."

Once the disturbing voice said this, Patty gasped and went eyes wide… A few moments later, the Demonic Hoodie Girl jumped through the window and was back in the room, she stretches a little bit and lets out small grunts

"Can't even call these stray demons a warm-up anymore, that's just sad~"

Once Ruby felt more relief in her joints and muscles, she relaxed a bit more and sighs

"Hopefully the shower works in this gross hotel, bleh…"

Before Ruby can think about showering in this disgusting hotel, she took a moment to look at her side and noticed a very empty bed, which made go wide eyes in extreme shock

"Oh no…"

Ruby, after processing on what just happened, start to panic greatly and used her speed to rushed to the sleeping Demonic Human and start shaking him rapidly

"WE MESSED UUUUUUP!!!"

Ruby's shaking woke up the Legendary Devil Hunter, to which he sat up and looks around in extreme confusion

"Whoa! Ruby! Calm Down! What's Wrong?!"

Dante had no idea what was going on and why the Devilish Rose was acting this way, but then she grabbed his head and turns it to the direction of the empty bed

"... Oh."

Was all Dante could say once he understood the situation, meanwhile downstairs in the check area, we see the Creepy Guy just sitting there behind his counter, wearing his unsettling smile and seems to be writing something down, though before he could continue his work, the Two Hunter's In Red rushed downstairs and ran up to the weirdo

"Hey! Have Seen The Girl That Was With Us?!"

Dante wear a very serious expression, clearly not taking this situation lightly

"Yeah, I Think She Ran Away Or Something!"

Ruby wear a very panic expression, clearly not happy about this entire situation

"Girl? Whatever do you mean?~.."

The Stranger wore a smug smile, acting as if he holds all the card's, which didn't last long when the Legendary Devil Huntress pulls out her [Crescent Devil:Sniper Mode] and shot it up in the air, once the bullet was shot out the barrel, it quickly begin to bounce around all over the room, killing all the demons that remained hidden and were about to sneak attack, and ends it with the bullet going by the Weirdo's cheek, cutting slightly, which removes his arrogant expression

"... She is at the Theater, not too long a drive from here…"

The Creepy Guy quickly replies without hesitation, which satisfy the two Hunter's In Red, before quickly running off to save the Child they were supposed to protect, speaking of which, at some huge theater room, with many rows of seats that were placed in front of the stage, which had a adult blonde standing in the middle of it all, having a spot light and seems ready to perform something

"Mom!"

Patty shouts out happily, quickly running forward and continues to shout out for her mother, no doubt over joyed for seeing her single parent again

"Mom! I Wanted To See You So Bad!"

Patty ran up and held onto the lady before her, refusing to let go, letting out tears of joy for meeting her mother

"I'm sorry, Patty, I won't do anything to make you feel lonely again."

The 'Mother' comfortingly said to her child, who look up and wore a happy smile when she heard those word, which quickly went away

"Because You're About To Die Right Now!~"

Instead of seeing a beautiful face of the 'Mother', we instead see a disgusting demonic face, which wore a eager expression and looked very eager to kill

"And You're Mom's Going To Kill You!~"

The 'Mother' lets out a loud devilish laugh, as she swings her disgusting claws at the Young Lady, who yells and cowards in fear, but before Demonic Mom could get hurt her, a certain someone with a Demonic Hoodie came in and dropped kick the Demon away

"You will not touch her…"

Ruby stood in front of Small Blonde protectively, she glares at the 'Mother' with her glowing eyes

"R-Ruby?..."

Patty couldn't help but be surprise to see her Guardian come to her rescue, which definitely made her beyond thankful and happy to see her, though before she could say anything, the 'Mother' lets out a very loud and mighty roar, summoning a huge horde of Demons to come in and aid her, this made the Corrupted Silver Eyes huff

"Sorry Patty, but this show isn't meant for kids."

In one quick motion, Ruby quickly use her foot to push the Small Child away and off the stage, who was quickly caught by Dante, much to Kid's surprise, before quickly blocking the Devil's attack with her Demon Skin Hoodie

"You Will Both Die A Painful Death!"

The 'Mother' yells loudly as she and the other Demons try to push the Devilish Rose into submission, with little success

"Nope~"

Was all Ruby said before pushing the Demonic Group back and quickly pulls out [Crescent Devil: Scythe Mode, spinning it around before getting into a fighting stance with the weapon

"「Lock And Loaded Lady Rose!~」"

[Crescent Devil] was very eager to be used in battle again, which made Scythe Wielder giggle, the horde of Demons lets out another monstrous roar and charge at the Legendary Devil Huntress all at once, who just smirks and twirls her big devilish weapons around, before slamming down the blade onto the first Demon that was close, piercing its skull and sticks it into the ground, after doing that, she pulls the trigger and head shot the 2nd one, using the recoil of that powerful shot to lets herself spin around and hit all the ones that try to jump her with the back end of the weapon, hitting them all and crush them back down into the ground, another one tries to come from behind and stab the Devilish Rose in the back, but she quickly shoots again, making the weapon slide back in her hand and used the end of the handle to pierce the Demons chest and pins it into the ground, using the momentum to continue to spin and jump around all over the place, cutting up all the other Demonic Creatures that unfortunately got in her way, before ending it with having the blade part of the [Crescent Devil] be behind the 'Mother' who was now petrified with fear

"P-Please have mercy…"

The 'Mother' try to beg for forgiveness and have her life be spared, the Legendary Devil Huntress hums and rubs her chin

"Hmmm… Ok~"

Ruby then grabbed the 'Mother' terrified head and brought her close to her face, she looked into her eyes and in just a instant flash of light, the Demon was turned into stone, forever in a pose of horror and fear

"Whoa…"

Patty couldn't help but watched the whole thing in amazement, never seeing someone do such a impressive feat like her's

"I'll give you a S.S Rank, Ruby, only because you made a child watch something rated R."

Dante gave his quick judgement and rank of the fight he just witness, which made the Devilish Rose puff her cheeks as she walks back up to her Leader

"B-But I Was So Totally Stylish Just Now Fighting Those Baddies Demons!"

Ruby whines and protests, clearly does not approve of this rank she was just given, to which the Son Of Sparda just shrugs and begins to walk off with the Small Blonde nexts to him

"Sorry, hopefully you'll do better next time."

Dante did not change his mind, which made the Legendary Devil Huntress get all pouty and grumpy as she begins to walk with him and the kid

"... T-Thank you Ruby, for saving my life…"

Patty shyly thanks her saviour for rescuing her, which made the Demon Skin Hoodie Girl smile softly and held out her hand to the Blonde Child

"Just doing my job, now come on, let us take you home and hopefully you'll find your real family there~"

Ruby gave her a happy and reassuring expression, which made the Little Kid smile back

'I think I already found it.'

Patty couldn't help but think to herself as she reached over and grabbed her Guardian's hand, to which she held tightly as she and her Partner began to leave the area, with the Young Lady happily tagging along... Meanwhile, in the upper seats of the theater, we see a familiar Creepy Dude who just watched the entire 'Show' from below, and he was not happy about the ending

"Sorry master… I've failed to kill the girl and collect the fortune…"

The Weirdo was in the middle of talking to someone on the phone, and spoke to the 'Master' in a very upset and disappointed tone

"That's quite alright, my Minion Sid."

We then heard the voice of the supposed 'Master' start to talk to Gross Guy, who was now named 'Sid', through the phone

"This is no problem, for the 'Future Ruler Of The Underworld', now come back to base, I have a new assignment for you."

The Master sounded very sure of himself, and even after he hanged up, there was still some sense of 'Power Terror' left in the air, something that made Sid regain his confidant and begin to creepily smirk again, as he then look at the stage with the bloody dead demons and the stoned 'Mother', he chuckles evilly and slowly step back in the shadow

'Hmph, we'll meet again, you Devil Hunter's, and when we do, it'll be your last~...'


Forgive me if I skipped/changed anything, but some scenes in the anime, at leasts to me, are either not useful or could be done better, sorry

(BTW, while I won't do the DMC2, I will add character's that are important, maybe)
