Devil May Cry 4 'Video Game' – The Ying and Yang

By Tayla Drago

Mission #3: Dante vs. Nero

So Dante had no other choice but to get to Sanctus to make sure that he stayed dead, he was stopped by Nero about to go head to head against him inside the church for Kate to see without helping out Dante since he wanted to do it on his own. So what other choice did he have? On Kate's point of view, it was a bit crazy but she believes in him no matter what happens.

(Kate: Well, this is a first. Seeing how Dad was saying for someone to aid us in this place called home but really being a nightmare from hell had to be another person a lot like Dante. A half human who can fight well with a gun, sword, and has powers within his arm for I know it's a power of a demon's meaning he is part demon too. For someone who was so young and not afraid of anything to face. I know that cast is a big cover up to hide it from everyone all over Fortuna and I can understand why including his girlfriend the one who helped me out earlier, given no choice but sing. Either way as long as that old man's out, or is he? It doesn't seem is far from over yet. For Dante hopefully he'll so down this kid as I watch for their powers an equally match and there are no winners or losers in this battle, I just don't want Dante to kill him by accident… Well, I doubt it or that due from hurting himself no matter how strong he was. I guess for the time being I had to watch the fight seeing from fighting skills, to power, to swords, and gun shooting one after another that I just couldn't keep my eyes away from it. So much to see! Too bad for my Dad not being here because he would be kind of amazed, still if this kid would be on our side I guess it'll be a while until he'll understand what's really going on. I hope in time too since he's not much of a Christian worship upset person. That would suck really badly.)

So it begins as Kate sits and watching while hiding herself near the corner of the church for this battle was to get a whole lot messy. From Dante just toying around with him with Nero testing him out by walking around moving really slow and shooting as Dante could sense 'but also feel the powerful gunshots to the chest' take hit. 'Ouch!' But not for this guy… Shooting from long to short ranges with Nero rolling to duck from Dante's guns shooting at him next and jumping from many gunshot battles after another would not end; besides dodging the rest from each other their guns coming out at a time soon Nero runs out of ammo to refill more of his bullets in his Blue Rose quickly. So fast he reloads it like a cowboy, spins to turn around, and points his gun out…! But no signs of Dante anywhere, where did he go? Kate sees him walks normally next to Nero with his sword out.

"I guess this doesn't quite cut it."

So instead of guns, Nero kicks up his sword the Red Queen to charge it up, with its engines purring like a wild lion and ready for some action for Dante could only stand just to see that Nero won't be going down so easily and neither is him.

"What's the point of packin' a sword like that if you aren't going even gonna use it?"

For to see and hear the whole fighting going on, she had to say something but only within her thoughts privately.

(Kate: Believe me, Kid; you haven't seen anything yet coming from Dante.)

Dante looks at his sword only to place it on the ground like so and posing like when placing it for the two the stare until Nero comes charging in with his sword first for the clashing to start. They each jumped very high, to hitting one another, avoiding many times, and somehow Nero has a upper move on his end for his move to be known as the High Roller to have a real kick to hit when his from the Red Queen like so. Lucky for Kate, she could see the amazing speed in a battle happening but if anyone else couldn't 'without powers', would only see flashes of light all over the room. The two kept going on and on for one sword and so on for Dante to have the upper hand against Nero this time; for he strikes this time for Nero to black the sword and being stabbed with his cast in time causing a huge energy wave to go flying for all the chairs to crash all over the place like a bomb went off. Now Dante and Kate saw what Jason met, there was hope from another seeing Nero's arm being shown and fully charged up.

"Heh, you got a trick up your sleeves."

Kate was surprise as well as Dante was, sort of.

"I knew it."

For Nero to say something back to Dante, not knowing if he was a talkative type or not.

"I thought the cat had your tongue. But if it's a trick looking for…"

Nero pushes Dante back with both his strength and his arm allowing Dante to land on his feet to soon turning around.

"Looks like you too, are a…"

Kate sees Nero coming in once again to warn him.

"Dante! Heads up!"

Seeing from what's appearing above Nero's arm was a blue figure like a ghost but it was part of his powers, by lifting up the statue sword to throw at Dante hard, for him having the power to lift things to go flying at anyone. It misses Dante to see the statue got hit instead and Kate being speechless a bit after that.

"Hate to interrupt, but I wanna wrap this show up before the cavalry arrives."

Now it was being a hand to hand combat for Dante against Nero for his Buster to be used in battle for Kate to see more fighting skills up close. From one arm raised up, the other that was part of Nero's grabbed hold of Dante by the neck to throw him down to the ground many times, and Kate wanted to do something to aid her boyfriend but she promise to Dante that this was his battle to deal with and waits.

(Kate: This is so much… It's like Date and this kid are almost alike, but in a different way. Still, this kid's amazing what he can do.)

Nero soon throws his arm at Dante leaving him to use his sword to block it. Pulling him to go flying into the bench seats of the church, made him go back down while sitting still and once again being calm and serious making Nero angry in toying around. For Dante had to make a leave soon with Kate to finish the job and catching up with the others, the real fight begins this time.

"So you're lookin' to play huh? Alright, I guess I got some time to kill…"

Kate now knows it sounded serious coming from her man. As Nero grabs his Red Queen to start off without holding anything back and no one else to watch to see his arm.

"Tough guy, huh? Well…"

Nero throws many more chairs at Dante for him to jump off of one in time before they all come crashing down at each other, for he and Nero clash swords for a second to go back down after that from one and to the next. Now Dante sees Nero on the chair sitting and being all stacked up.

"I think I'll have to take you down a couple notches."

Dante could only smile.

"Whatever you say, kid."

Once Nero jumped off of the chairs, it was time for the real fight to start for him and Dante giving their all and for Kate's words to describe everything that was happening on what she was seeing within her own words. For she couldn't look away from or stop Dante, it was his battle alright.

(Kate: This fight was too much for me to see, but I couldn't help myself. I had to see now on how it all plays out. It was the kid running after Dante for to come all out slashing to shooting for this kid to get hit many times, but fights back with his own gun and sword and soon the strange demon arm of his glowing to the figure of a ghost arm grabbing hold of Dante to a slam dunk which in my case had to hurt there after that leaving more and more sword fighting; soon the kid's powers of his arm of a blue thing grew bigger to hold up Dante's arm to be bounce off in seconds. That was so cool! Hey, don't get me wrong, I do want Dante to win for sure. Soon they kept going at it over and over again with no end and here I am still watching from afar all because we came to do a mission only to be caught in something that others wouldn't understand, I mean will this guy listen to reasons? Soon they were doing the same old moves again, and again, and again, until this other half breed finally slow down Dante just like that, for him to smile making this battle to be a draw, so I thought with another surprising twist to it is by getting out of the place once Dante makes his leave and fast."

Nero and Dante stopped for another move will soon be made. From there Nero pushes the Rebellion sending Dante flying again. And in slow mode, Nero grabs hold of Dante's leg so he wouldn't go anywhere else from him, punches his face hard to the ground for his sword to fall, for him to kept on punching him a lot and for Kate to watch the horror for Nero's every punch was showing Dante in his Devil Trigger form showing back and forth, why was that? Soon Nero throws his body right at the statue and the sword to stab him to the chest hard. Now Kate knows after doing that really had a chance to make his escape plan at any second for her to wait for him up top to leave the church.

(Kate: Ha! Big mistake, kid! Dante, time for us to roll whenever you're ready.)

With Nero thinking that Dante was dead for him to turn around only to hear is voice knowing it was way far from over.

"Getting better…"

Shocking Nero before his very eyes, Dante was 'of course' alive to pull himself out of his own weapon that looked painful but not to him to being all bloody all over to break free from every pull he took.

"I would even go as far as to say that I underestimated your… abilities."

Dante comes back down for Kate to say this…

"Your sword's still in you."

And for Nero to say after that…

"You're aren't human, are you?"

Dante kept on talking after pulling his Rebellion out of him for good looking the same as he was already.

"We're the same… you and… I… and them…"

Dante pointed out to Nero seeing the Holy Knights 'most of them' were demons on what Dante knew and killed. Looking all black and red all over surprising him and Kate knew all along. After that Nero sees Dante's voice one more for Kate to fly up outside of the church in time without Nero seeing her and for Dante to detract him once he got up top too.

"Though I suspect you carry something different from the others."

Dante smiles at Kate since she reunites with him.

"Just in time, talk about a battle."

Now Nero was very confused wanting to know more, well he'll soon find out and so will the other two.

"What are you talking about?"

"You'll come to learn the meaning soon enough. But… business beckons. Come along, Kate."

Dante grabs hold of Kate's hand for them to jump off the side window and land safely outside.

"Hey!"

Nero tries shooting, but by the time the smoke clears the two were already gone with one more thing that Dante had to say to him with his head pop up after coming back up on his own and for Kate to wait for him.

"Adios, kid!"

Then he and Kate leave the place and somewhere in hiding and just in time before the Holy Knight armies arrived and too late leaving Nero to cover his arm while still looking out the window thinking he saw another person with Dante looking like a girl meaning Kate, for that and wishes to know about other strange things like some of the Holy Knights to be demons dress up like real humans.

After the fight, Dante and Kate got away from the church in time from the court yard outside looking lovely for them to talk about what went down, Nero's fighting skills, and what to do next in order to make Sanctus was good as dead. For Kate sense the danger was only the beginning as well as reuniting with Jason, Alpha Line, Lady, and Trish by sensing them out somewhere in Fortuna. Dante enjoyed the fight and Kate wish to know a lot more about Nero helping them out somehow, but that won't be so easy for him to listen to reason not yet.

"Ah, Dante, why go back up there just to say adios?"

"What? I forget to say something to remember the last minute."

Dante hugs Kate for her to hug back then kiss each other on the lips.

"You're something else."

"I know, and you are too, baby. That kid's something else."

"Tell me something we don't already know about."

Dante looks at the nice view of Fortuna from the roof of a building for Kate to stand next to him as well.

"So… Can you sense out the Old Man and the others from these distances?"

Kate tries to use her powers to feel out Jason, Alpha Line, Lady, and Trish's locations whether they were close, near, or a far. She could only pick up the two out of four were close somewhere.

"Just Dad and Alpha Line are fine nearby. But Lady and Trish aren't around. I hope they're doing alright on their end wherever they are."

"I wouldn't worry about those two. Trish has something in store she told us about, and Lady well you know how she does things that got us into weird situations."

"Really?"

"Do I ever lie? They can take care of themselves."

Kate knows about Trish, as Jason and her weapon were doing fine, and Lady was left unknown somewhere in Fortuna. But knowing Dante, he knows that all will go well for them to stop Sanctus with a little help from Nero maybe.

"Yeah, I know about the others… It just Sanctus who you shot made the job way to easy for us."

"You're right. That's why we need to go to another church somewhere afar in this area. You sense it too, Kate?"

"You bet I do. That means we got to get there and fast to finish it, I won't let my worries bother me…!"

Kate felt sick all of a sudden to make herself throw up from the roof, she wasn't ill or anything. So how else did that happen besides that? Not a demon controlling her that's for sure for Dante to cheer her up after making sure that she was alright.

"Kate?"

For now Kate had to hold it in, this isn't the first time it happen for only her to know about.

"I'm good, I'm good!"

Before Kate could say something else, Dante sees something making him to take cover with Kate in time before they been potted for Kate not knowing yet for him to tell her what was going on.

"Dante?"

"Kate, stay down."

Soon they see some of the Holy Knights not only inside the church but the rest watching over from the outside too; making it hard for Dante and Kate to take off together without risking to be caught it'll all be over. It'll be hard to out run them 'for some of them are demons' or to fly away meaning they had to think of something with one thing in mind for Dante to have.

"Kate, listen I'll follow where your Old Man's at with the others and you check to me later."

"Wait, what? Why? I want to go with you. Don't leave me."

"Sorry, I got to. To learn a lot more about the geezer's plot on my own giving us a chance to out runs these douche bags."

Kate didn't want Dante to go as she tries to stop him.

"No!"

Too close for Kate to keep quiet in time, for Dante didn't want to live his lady's side either so they hugged for a bit and knowing what to do before they depart for a while.

"Dante…"

"Kate, it has to be done. Remember what I said to you in case we get lost?"

"Oh, yeah…"

For Kate to look at her necklace given from Dante and his bracelet given from her knows that they'll find each other no matter how far away or how long they were gone. For their love was strong to go through anything.

"I remembered."

The two lovers say the oath together at once on what it is.

"If we ever get lost or split up, the gifts we got for each other will guide our hearts to the ones we love to return back into our arms."

The two then kiss very sweetly so they won't miss it for a while, as Dante kisses Kate's neck passionate to leave her a marking for her to smile about.

"This way you won't forget about me."

"Why would I?"

"I know. Listen, just call me if you're in trouble and I'll be coming and don't worry about me. We'll meet back soon with more ass grabbing."

Dante grabs Kate's big butt before leaving for Kate to kiss him once more and a big hug to give him.

"I'll hold you off to that. Be careful now."

"Same with you. And if you can talk some sense into the kid, that'll be great. He can be a great help."

"But why me?"

"Trust me, you can. Above all else, you have the stronger gift. Watch yourself, Kate."

With the guards not around on one side gave Dante the chance to flee for Kate to do same in bit whenever there are more town's people around to hide herself in the crowd. Dante takes off quickly before they turned back around for the two to look at each other until they meet back again.

"Dante, I love you."

"Yeah, I know. Me too, more than you think."

Once Dante fled, Kate was on her own just sitting near the edge of the roof about to make her leave in a bit seeing a few people of Fortuna were hiding or some to come back to hear the news that Sanctus really died, to them to believe. Kate knows that Dante will be fine on his own; also she doesn't know herself on why she's been puking and feeling a bit ill lately. Strange… Back inside, with everything looking like a huge mess all over after that fight with Nero and Dante for the other Holy Knights 'for most to be human', Credo, and Kyrie to see. As Kyrie was happy that Nero wasn't hurt, Credo wanted nothing more than to capture Dante for killing Sanctus 'but he knew a lot more than anyone else in the room secretly'. As Credo looks around to see the rest of the damages, Kyrie pull a huge black coffin that somehow belongs to Nero, but what was in it?

"You brought this here for me?"

Kyrie smiles at Nero for didn't mind helping out.

"Credo requested. She yearns for your touch."

Part of Credo was hiding something fishy from Nero 'and more to Kyrie', but the other part does care for him a little without showing it.

"Thanks. This blade's the best battle companion a swordsman could wish for."

With Nero opening the big box to get some thing's to be attach to and such by the looks of it. Kyrie walks around to find her present that her boyfriend gave to her, for it looked lovely to wear. Credo gave Nero a tip on where Dante's location might be from hearing from the people after they escape and Nero's weapon got a good boost in fighting better.

"Fortuna Castle, huh? That's what the witnesses said. Guy just came from hell. He's gotta hit up a couple tourist sites."

His Red Queen purred like an engine of car this time looking well to a hand to hand combat to slice away. Credo wanted this hunt to be serious, not a game.

"You jest so lightly in a time of crisis?"

With Nero's sword all set, Credo makes one thing very clear to him to do.

"You must capture him."

"Trust me, I'll get it done."

Kyrie comes up to Nero for she was worried about him doing his hunting skills once again.

"Please be careful. You still haven't recovered."

"There's no time and duty calls."

Nero sees the necklace that Kyrie was wearing and he knew that she'll love it.

"Can't pass on an emergency."

Credo leaves to take care of other businesses telling Kyrie and Nero to be safe, so they walk out of the door with him for safety.

"I must return to headquarters and report."

But they soon stop for the three hear and feel a shaking noise happening outside to check it out as Kate did too so she flew sensing more trouble was coming for innocent lives to get hurt from demons. But how was that possible to appear out of nowhere?

"What the-!? Demons!? Here at a time like this!?"

Kate had something to say to herself on what to do next.

(Kate: Great! With Dante gone along with Lady and Trish missing and my Dad with Alpha on their own, how can I talk some sense into that kid with powers!? Okay, Kate, just stay calm and think! There has to be a way… Oh! And I also protect the people at all coast when the time's right. After that, it'll be go time."

With Kate flying through the air to add Nero in a few seconds and stopping the demons as much as possible, Nero, Kyrie, and Credo soon step outside of the church 'for Kate to see them from below' to here a cry coming from a person in church clothing running for his life.

"Someone help me!"

But he looked hurt from all the running he had to do. Soon Scarecrow Arm appears to stab the person and dragged him to his doomed to be thrown after already dead, too late for Kate to save in time. Soon more came running and screaming in terrible and for some to get stabbed so fast without seeing any of them coming which troubled Kate and the other three seeing the horror. For Nero and Credo to be on their guard and for Kyrie to hide behind Nero in fear 'for Kate sensing that the girl fears demons to be evil, not knowing yet about Nero being one of a half breed'.

"Is this him…?"

"I… I'm not sure."

Nero hate to see Kyrie all scared so he has to take care of the demons to get to Dante on his way for hers and Credo's sakes.

"Credo, take care of Kyrie. I got this!"

Nero powers up his Red Queen to get things started. Running in against many Scarecrow Arm and Leg armies to slice and dice many of them for Kate to see up close this time. While Credo and Kyrie get the others to safety and away from the area in time and thanks to Kate's help from above to blind some for Nero to get them easily with one of her old favorite attacks.

"Light Beam Flare! There, that should slow them down for you, kid."

Thanks to her and her powers of bright light to blind the Scarecrows, Nero was doing well as Credo told him something on what to do afterwards.

"We must evacuate the residents back to headquarters. And report back as soon as you can, and be careful!"

Nero kept on slashing already getting the message.

"I got it already!"

Credo runs off first and then Kyrie wishing her to be careful too.

"Kyrie, run! Go with the others!"

Before Kyrie could leave, she sees a boy just standing and crying after losing his parents from the demons for one of the demons to go after him and for Kyrie to step in as Kate tries to save them both.

"Crap, this looks bad! Look out!"

Kyrie thought she heard a voice from afar but kept on running to save the child, for all the Scarecrows jump in to strike as Kyrie shields the coy with her life and her eyes close. Before Kate could strike, Nero comes in to blow them all away within on swing and for Kate to hide in time thinking she might be spotted from them, too soon.

"Go! Get out of here!"

"Nero!"

For Kyrie might of seen Kate, still she ran off in time with the boy unharmed allowing Nero to clean up the rest of the trash on his own not holding back since he was alone for no one else to get hurt or see his true colors.

"Not so fast…"

Nero powers up his arm at the Scarecrows to strike all of them out. Grabbing one to swing around at all of the others around and around, until he throws them high to the roof to fall apart from his amazing powers. Also some of the solid parts to come tumbling down all over them. For Kyrie, Credo, and all the other people were safe from anymore danger chasing after them no more, for Kyrie knows that Nero will be alright. As for the rest of the demons were swung into the air for to stabbed them all into one from his Red Queen and to charging it to go flying and stabbing the rest of them all at once. Doing it many more times, for Nero to use one to ride on and go flying all over hitting the rest, surfs up! For some to die, get hit, or for the gate to come crashing down to destroy the last one.

"This baby sure can pack a punch."

So says Nero about his awesome Red Queen sword can sure come in handy so he's all go taking care of the rest to clear half the streets for now to move forward inside a building of the town looking all too quiet. As all the people were hiding somewhere safe from out of their village and away from the demons, as well as Credo going back to work wherever that is, Kyrie wonders around the courtyard of a lovely garden just minding her own business and waiting for her brother to return as well as Nero too; praying for his safety in the name of Sparda after getting the young boy to his other family to care for him for she was happy to see that; from there Kate was hiding in the field of flowers for her to get moving by finding both Nero, Dante, and the others at a time and it was then Kyrie sees her knowing that the voice of trying to save her and the boy's life 'before Nero stepped in', she knows that she's like Nero, but different like an Angel who came to save them all, not knowing about her and Dante just yet. So she walks up to Kate by tapping her on the shoulder.

"Dante…"

Well, Kate was daydreaming where she was found and freaking out once Kyrie got her attention.

"Ah, excuse me? Miss?"

(Kate: Crap! I was spotted!)

Kate was about to run away or fly away but Kyrie could tell that she was a good person from the church since they sang together early today.

"Wait! Its okay, it just me. We're alone, see?"

Kate turns around not seeing or sensing anyone else nearby but them alone making her a bit happy that Kyrie is helping her out twice now.

"Oh, I see… You're the girl from church who saved my skin from singing with me. Yours was good too."

"Thank you, Ms…?"

"I'm Kate Jones."

"I'm Kyrie. Please to meet you."

"Same here."

The two shook hands with each other already getting to know one another. Elsewhere in the building where Nero was at, he climbs 'or jumps' many stairs broken or not into fighting many more Scarecrows coming out all over the place for Nero to beat them all hard until there was no more. Soon he headed outside to see more and more Scarecrows all Arm and Leg alike to be all over the town with many things to destroyed and being burned to dance around in, lucky for Nero being up top to make his little getaway hoping to end this soon for a lot of demons keep on showing which looked bad.

"Looks like this isn't Fortuna no more. What a mess down there."

'Hey, Nero, no kidding!' Any who… Nero goes through another building where he makes around a room of a type of meeting with many nice scenery, chairs lay out to sit in, to a stand for someone to talk, and many surroundings for Nero make his way through, but not all jumping will do him any good seeing how high he needed to go to make it to somewhere. So he looks around to see that he could find anything to aid him, that's when he saw something. For on the stands, lies a mysterious looking blue-like crystal ball just floating like magic for Nero was about to touch it without thinking first.

"What the hell…?"

Once he pulled it out, it started to burn out the stand to move like wheel on its own, soon to bright up and being absorb into Nero's arm in seconds and controlling it before it went crazy all over to soon stop for Nero has a new ability that'll get him up top and very high within him known as Devil Bringer of his demon-like arm… Along with the Evil Legacy skull-like crystal's part of him now. From every stand he stood that were blue glowing and his arm allowed him to climb one top at a time within a reach to go very long to grab on to. From there he made it outside to use the Evil Legacy moves again to jump across another building and down below had a lot of the demons still causing chaos. For Nero to love his new powers and getting stronger day by day.

"Sweet! I'm starting to like this bad boy."

He does it again to fight his way through the Scarecrows to get inside another building after that by jumping across, so no trouble for Nero's fight on his end. Soon a few more to be stop like Nero can do this and many more with one arm tied behind his back, soon to get near the seas where many boats were at and other homes with tons of food left out; once again Nero kept on fighting many more Scarecrows all over the place for all over was way too quiet to be in but him to let his guard down so easily for getting from one side and lowering the bridge down to get across by finding the switch somewhere inside a small house. By turning the wheel he goes in… tries to hit many buttons with no luck.

"Damn it!"

As he turns around, he shoots it with his Blue Rose allowing the machine to work for the bridge to go down.

"Heh, London Bridges falling my ass."

Nero exits the building to make his way outside to walk across, but not before more demons fighting to happen. Piece of cake for this guy. From there he was in the sewers 'more like a hidden path of something or a special hiding place' where the engines worked out fine with steams pumping too, for Nero kept on going knowing there will be more, he sense another only but way different within the next place once he steps outside, for it wasn't just the demon he'll soon face that's way bigger but also the surroundings happening that was unknown not to be a normal everyday thing to be going on. But does that stop Nero from moving forward?

"Like hell it well. Bring it on."

Not for this guy I guess for he just kept on going all the way up stairs from outside of the sewers where the other demon awaits from the strange area that which it stands in. While back at the safe haven for Kyrie and Kate to talk to each other and getting to know one another, it looked like Kyrie had something she wanted to say to Kate as a favor to do, since she helped her out it was Kate's turn. For she didn't know why, but she thinks that Kyrie saw her and Dante in her dreams meaning they are good 'but without a reason yet to know why', she plead with Kate to go find Nero and help him out so she wouldn't worry. If her dreams were true and what Kate senses out 'even from reading her past mind of the dream', she knows it all has to be real to believe in Sanctus isn't long gone yet, it was only the beginning for the worse to come.

"Wait…? You want to do what now? I'm lost."

"I know you're a fighter like Nero."

"That's who the kid's name is?"

"Yes. I knew him since childhood and I'm worried about him. If it's true that you are here to help us out from whatever the danger maybe, could save all of us because Sanctus could be hiding something."

Kate tries to explain to Kyrie about why Dante and she came in the first place and who they really were.

"Listen, about Dante and me…"

Kyrie stops her there.

"It doesn't matter; I know you came here but not alone. I know your boyfriend had a reason but I know in the name of Sparda that our holiness is fine. Maybe they're targeting us and him, and got very lucky. For what my dreams told me, we're al even Nero and my brother Credo are in danger. Will you help Nero? Will you save us and see if Sanctus is well from staging his death for our safety?"

Kate had to stop Kyrie to say something next.

"Well, that's what your dream is showing you so far?"

"That's all I know, I wish I knew more. Please, Kate? Save us, I'll talk to Sanctus and my Brother to let you off with a warning when you stop the demon responsible after you aid Nero and stop this madness, please…?"

If that's what Kyrie believes in, Kate couldn't say no to her seeing that she trust Dante and her knowing that Sanctus is alive something, but could he be behind it all? Hard to say just yet, knowing that Nero can't do this alone for she too senses danger from afar for where the other four with Dante too might be at. It'll be a long journey to get there and the problem so she had to do it for Kyrie believes in her, the only one by far.

"I guess I owe you one so I'll lend you a hand. I want you and the others to stay here where it's safe, while I find both my boyfriend and yours."

That made Kyrie blush all over her face when Kate said that she and Nero were a couple, they sure were but she was too shy to admit it.

"My… Boyfriend…?"

"Look, is it a deal? I fix whatever's going on for me and Dante to never return and me helping out that kid name Nero, okay?"

"Oh! Right, it's a deal! I'll tell it to Credo when I see him, promise."

"As for this Sanctus guy, I hope in your case that you're right, and something far different in your dreams. So, Kyrie, leave everything to me, Dante, and Nero."

"Thank you so much."

The two girls shook hands with each other for they were friends and the deal has been set Now the only thing was to get to Nero to soon get to Dante, Trish, Lady, Jason, Alpha Line, and saving the world from whatever is going on to find the area which somehow for Kate to sense out somewhere nearby. Of a short cut that is in the field where a hidden cave was in next to Kyrie where she was sitting at. For Kate to sense a burning feeling 'of a real demon being real close', she knew if there's a demon appearing that's so powerful for Nero to be there.

"Oh my, since when did we have a cave of a hidden land?"

Kate could tell.

"For a while, but the demon the area shouldn't be there unless the gates to Demon World was open. Unless…"

Kate goes in with her gun and powers all set to go by crawling her way in to find Nero as promise for Kyrie.

"Wait, Kate! Where are you going?"

"Nero must be there, I got this, Kyrie, just go back and stay with the others please."

Kyrie does a pose in praying of Sparda for Kate to break the news to her on what she was in Christian-like clothing.

"May Sparda be with you."

"Kyrie, there's something I have to tell you. About the whole worshipping thing…"

Kyrie was just smiling, didn't look like she was worried at all.

"It's fine. I don't mind if you two care in praying."

"No, it's-!"

"Like I said its fine. Now go and please be careful. Both of you."

Kate smiles back at Kyrie with a thumbs up seeing that she's not so bad.

"Okay, we'll be alright. Later!"

Kate started crawling within the caves until she got inside to find the demon where Nero was at as Kyrie stayed behind aiding the others back in a safe house of the garden fields for she could only wait and hope on her own.

"Please be careful out there."

With Kate rushing 'in fast paste' to Nero's side, it was there that he ran upstairs where from the sewers finds himself a missing old village looking all burned and run down for it was once a nice place until some time ago a huge fire broken out A ghost town they say of a demon killing many lives and made grave stones to remember them by, all looked quite for Nero to let his guard down meaning a Gate has been open. But how? Only someone with powers or a demon itself could be able to do that from the Demon World opening to enter in the Human World. Nero stops seeing there was no doubt a very big block where lots of demons 'and more' were appearing out of from the distances of the old village is where is at for it didn't take long for him to guess.

"Let me guess, more demons?"

From out of the gate was burning through without comes out a very hot and angry demon for he has been to the Human World once, on four legs and a swing from his sword started burning the building on fire all over also Nero not liking the smell of this beast. His name was Berial: Had strong arms, but with four legs like a centaur, of red eyes, two long horns, with spikes on his head and all over his back, from his body being all fired up, from his tail too, looking black all over of a armor of rock, always on fire covering his body, and a magma sword he carries with him. From strength, speed, fire, and deadly power can burn you into aches and only putting out the fire 'just not water' for in battle can stop this demon ready to burn once more centuries later.

"Ahhh, the Human World, it's been a while…"

Both Nero and Berial walk pass by each other for Nero to draw out his Red Queen sword with one swing made a powerful gust of wind putting all of the demon's fire out in seconds. For Berial to turn around wondering about the half breed standing before him.

"How curious…"

"Fires bad for the complexion. I burn easily, never tan."

Tayla: I rather bayed in the sun, not tanning for me thank you.

Berial walks up to Nero about to fight him.

"When I came to this world 2000 years ago, there was no such human as the likes of you."

"Wanna make it another 2000?"

"Silence!"

Berial strikes at Nero with his flaming sword, for Nero to block it with his sword of one burning flash to be pushes back into pushing it aside with one arm doing it.

"Futile pest, you will suffer the wrath of Berial! I, the conqueror of the Fire Hell!"

Let the first big demon fight of Berial and Nero begin! Also Kate arrives to find her way to Nero, also sensing the battle happening with her mind from a distance. For some building to burnand the rest still standing will be something else going on; Berial laughs to come up slowly to Nero 'as he does the same with his guard up knowing him' for a powerful swing from the fire-like sword burns and destroys the houses for Nero to strike and avoid the turning flames of Berial's weaponto be both hot and deadly to get hit by. With quick thinking, Nero uses his arm to grab on to Berial's head and ride on his back like the rodeo shows again and again. Allowing Nero to do it many times more until Berial was out like a lid out candle for Nero to shoot and slice many times while the demon was out for the count really fast, with one sucker punch send this demon bad boy flying to the walls. And enough time for Kate to arrive seeing the rest up top also amazed that Nero can take care of himself for most parts so she waits for him 'while watching' until the fight was over to talk more about Nero's battle.

(Kate: Okay, now I'm not seeing things. This was really happening! This kid Nero is something else like Dante! Hitting this big bull many more times, also coming out of the handmade gate to Demon World that was all set up by someone. I see the bull charging back up on fire attack from one throw down with his sword cause the grounds to shake and everything exploding, for me to be close of blindness there to Nero getting away in time while trying to put himself off from his jacket with his hand for the fight to continue. The demon jumps to cut Nero, as he jumps so many times for these guys to attack one another, burn baby burn! Did this kid stab the demon in the ass? Ouch! It was hot and so was the ground for the demon to keep on burning for Nero to fight his way through, only to be put out again for Nero to punch the demon in the gut to finally be defeat, now that was cool. With the fire dying down was my chance to go down and talk to Nero, I just hope he'll listen to reason for Kyrie's sake.)

Nero got lucky, but Berial wasn't down for the count yet, didn't take him look to figure out from a human like Nero being a half breed of a demon.

"Your arm… you are not human!"

Nero looks at his arm not knowing about himself at times either.

"Don't ask. Damn thing drives me crazy though."

"You are just like he was…"

That got Nero's attention on what Berial was talking about.

"And 'he' would be…?"

"I must restore my powers!"

Berial 'looking weak all over', runs off while burning up for his other powers to use to make his getaway back in Demon World running back into the gate. Nero sees him leaving, but he'll back for the gate to burn out along with all of his fire that was left out and now gone. For Kate getting close to Nero from behind to get his attention allowing him to move on into a different area afterwards, nothing left with the buildings all destroyed and burned down; before Nero could go anywhere else he already senses out Kate about to walk up and talk to him, remembering about Kate from the church and for Dante to get away not being alone looked like he strikes first.

"You!"

"Crap!"

Nero swings his sword at Kate allowing her to use her powers to shield herself to bounce it off to kicking him to go flying for Nero to put his hands on the ground to slow down. About to draw his gun out, Kate already beat Nero to it with hers near his face, for him to breathe hard thinking he was about to die but sensing no demon in her but a real life angel half breed of a human Kate just kept on her gun near his head but smiles.

"Sorry, but I have to do this to you to believe in me so heads up."

Once Kate places her hand on Nero, he felt what Kyrie felt in her dream being a message with her, Credo, and himself in danger and all had something to do with Sanctus hiding something big along with Dante and Kate in it. Hurting him and freaking Nero out once Kate removes her hand off of his head got Nero all confused to know what that was all about but it was there he sense Kyrie for Kate knows her for his girlfriend to put her trust in Dante and Kate now in aiding him.

"You're… You're not just a human, you're different. Who are you?"

Now that Kate has gotten Nero's attention, she puts her gun down and lends Nero a hand after calming him down knowing there was a lot of explaining to be told. For that they must work together in saving the world and find out on what Sanctus' hiding along with Credo, Agnus, and other strange demons all over Fortuna. Hopefully to reunite with Dante and the others too sooner and later. Let just hope in time to move forward after round one with Berial, he will soon be back… Also the mysterious woman who lend Kate the clothing to get in a while ago, what is she doing from afar just watching?

"So… You're Nero, right? Let's talk."

For these two to team up and getting along, I hope Kate can if Nero will believe in her 'and soon Dante later on' all thanks to Kyrie leaving him a message for the danger will soon be coming.
