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

By Tayla Drago

Mission #5: In finding the Yamato Sword

And so Nero and Kate kept on moving forward inside the cold castle of the Order of the Sword church. They went back to where they started from after Nero got a new ability to push heavy objects as well as the spinning spikes from a powerful punch, to hitting it many times with a sword, and pushing it all over that can destroy special gates or killing demons in its way all thanks to Anima Mercury from within Nero's arm. They go back to the gallery for another item of it to use in the room by destroying more demons in there from Scarecrows and Frost 'but first Kate and Nero took some of them down together', they finishing off the rest with the item once Kate using her powers to push them all away.

"Care to do the honors, Nero?"

"No problem."

Nero punches the item to go flying and killing the demons in seconds for them to be happy for making Kate sing for fun.

"You spin me round baby, right round! Ha!"

"Great, now we need to find a better song for our fighting scene."

The four went back to the main hallway of the church seeing another spinning thing that has something to do with the mysterious coffin that Nero must break once he and Kate got down to the first floor, so he goes up to push it down until it came close to it about to hit it again while Kate waits up.

"Okay… One for the money, two for the show, three to make ready, and… Here we go!"

Once the coffin was destroyed, it showed a hidden red-like circle platform underneath seeing there was nothing for Nero or Kate to do about it but look it and just let it be, all for nothing, or was it?

"Wait, that's it? What a waste."

"We did try. Nero, I say we head back to the other big room we passed by earlier, maybe it'll have more of those with a better chance in finding something better than in this room."

"If you say so. Let's get going."

The two head back to the room on the far left to find more of the spinning thing into unlocking something, for Kate to know something about the stand could come in handy later on. They were also known as Gyro Blades for the names. For once they turned on the right they see another one for Nero to use by first breaking in the other room on the left to get one to get the other, will they be able to? There were on a platform of the four where a door was being block for more puzzles to be done once Kate read the written walls in doing so.

"Nero, use they to get two more and put them back after."

"We already know where the first one is. I guess we have no other choice."

"And we don't, so come one."

Once again, Kate narrates the whole business of Nero using the Gyro in unlocking the door while Kate fights off with more demons in their way.

(Kate: Well, here we go again getting these Gyro Blades through at a time. Nero got one out to use in breaking down the gate to get the third one through the room, taking one step at a time allowing me to stop the demons but he did most of the work at a time to get the Gyro to moving so many times. One was in for two and the third one was on its way… Is like heavy lifting many times if you ask me, at least Nero and I were doing great in doing what we do best. That leaves us with one more to find and bring it back the area, but where was it? For we looked and looked in the room so no luck there, leaving us to look into another room of a fine living room of fancy things all over; happen to fight with more and more Bianco Angelos cause us to stop them along with ruining so many on the table we go through a hallway with a fireball popping out many times on one end leaving another Gyro to use in destroying it and allowing us to pass making a shield to protecting us from the fire. Man, it was so hot! It was much better being warm at a time. The fire kept on pushing the weapon, but we push on back until it was gone allowing us to go through another hidden room with any luck finding a spare Gyro lade inside. For we'll soon find out.)

They got lucky for it was another room of the room they were already in with the last Gyro Blade next to them, after fighting with many Scarecrows of Leg and Arm they used it by first using the wheel to unlock their way out into delivering the last one in unlocking the door. It was there that all four Gyro Blades were together on the platforms to unlock the door with the magic shield to finally being gone and for the two to go inside whatever demon was in there, Kate and Nero sense the Gate of Demon world was there in the cold.

"Shall we, my lady?"

Nero was being silly around Kate for she opens the door allowing to two of them to go outside as a team.

"Be ready for the demo and another gate are out there."

"Gotcha."

Both Nero and Kate got outside of the castle where far the north side they see a glowing block meaning another Gate to Demon World has once again opened, for they were ready for anything against what might appear to be an ice demon they must face with next inside the courtyard.

"Pinocchio!?"

Nero said that out loud for Kate to find that dumb for him to do.

"Really?"

"What? Just seeing we're not in a belly of a beast."

"Very funny."

Was once quiet outside of the cold snowy night, soon turn a powerful gust of wind blowing through of more snow coming by for Kate and Nero to stick together and staying on their guard with nothing going on just yet. Just then, they heard not one but two women which sounded like they were having a very good time 'in a sexy way' in a middle of the cold meaning it wasn't a very good sign for there were floating of blue colored girls with long hairs and talking to Nero; knowing Kate that something wasn't right for them to be sexy in dancing around thinking it was to Nero's liking 'it wasn't' trying to touch one another, was getting a bit creepier to look at.

"Ah… Nero?"

"I know, as if these things turn me on. This blizzard must be these demons."

"In any case, let's shut these bitches up."

Nero approach to one of them to slice them up hard and Kate did the other knowing her not to hold anything back. Soon they jump back up for controlling the girls were decoys leaving to the real thing to appear out of the shadows jumping out looking like a type of frog demon who could control snow. His name was Bael behind the snow control coming out of the Gates of Demon World; having the two blue girls that can freeze anyone or anything as his whiskers-like on his head, gray, white, blue all over the body, very big, pink eyes, a short tail on his backside, four long feet to jump high, spikes on his chin, and frozen ice sticking out of his head. Nero moves in time, But Kate gets capture by Bael's long sticky tongue tying her up for her unable to break free.

"Nero!"

"No, Kate!"

Kate tried and tried, but it was stronger and in the cold made Kate's power frozen up unless she was release for Bael like his catch of the day, in a stick way being a pig and a pervert.

"Ah, sick dude! This what you look like? A giant snow frog with girls on your head!? Let go!"

Bael licks his lips.

"Mmm… Beautiful and tasty, my favorite type of treat."

Kate kicks Bael on the head which bounces right off of him not being hurt.

"You're not going to eat me, are you!?"

"Don't worry; I got easy on the pretty ones."

Nero sees Bael in the flesh to get Kate down and for them to beat him for good.

"Kate!"

"Nero, get me out of this thing!"

Nero knows what he's doing.

"I know. So this is what you really look like…"

"Ah, another snack for later. You're stronger than you look with a smart ass mouth to match."

"Cut me some slack. I'm just not big on toads. Now release my friend!"

Bael laughs thinking if Nero was powerful like him, he wouldn't stand a chance from his strength and his ice powers.

"Let her go? Now why would I when I'm about to eat her?"

"Nero!"

Bael's tongue tightens Kate's grip.

"Struggle all you like, my tongue can with hold any being until they're drained out."

Without Bael knowing, Kate was charging her powers up from behind her back for her hands to glow brighter and brighter to build up an attack for her escape while she still had the energy to.

"I said let her go!"

Bael spit out some droll near Nero, almost getting all over him and made a powerful wind pass through.

"Make me, fool! You think I care what you say!?"

Nero cleans himself off from the gross out droll for Kate didn't like it or the feeling near her either.

"Come on, Nero! Get this freak!"

"If we don't finish this quickly, it's gonna scar me for life."

Another gust from Bael's mouth for Nero to hold his ground comes out.

"I will crush you!"

Nero was like whatever and tries saving Kate either way while still trying to build up her energy for she had a plan for him to already know what it was, the fight has now began. From Bael holding his breath to create a powerful wind and some ice to pop up that can freeze anything in his way on the ground for Nero to use his Devil Bringer to grab hold of his head in time before it happened, he soon strikes with his sword until the demon hops away from him 'with Kate feeling the rush just moving so much'; he does another one for Nero to freeze up all over.

"Nero!"

But he breaks out like that'll stop this guy. For Bael to jumps up on the other side next to Nero while still attacking him head on as he was trying to move backwards from him, another attack maybe? It was enough to put Bael down for the count for a few seconds for Nero to use his move while jumping on to his head to pull Kate out of the mouth in time to charge up and getting the nasty droll off of her.

"Kate, you okay?"

"I'm good. Thanks. Allow me to finish him!"

"No, I'll do that!"

"But he was trying to eat me!"

"We don't have time for this!"

"Fine! Quick game of rock, paper, scissor?"

Kate and Nero do a quick game to see who'll beat Bael first and another will be for them to fight with the next demon later on, with luck Nero beats Kate 'for she never lost until now to him'.

"Alright."

"You win I guess. But can I at least give him a present and to his girl while you do the rest?"

Nero gives Kate the thumbs up in doing so in return.

"It's a deal. I'll kill this thing and you'll get more on the other demon we face."

Bael tries to get up for Kate to hit him first.

"Then here we go."

Kate fires from her Agni and Rudra twin swords from making wind and fire combining them into a strong tornado to burn his body up a bit weakening it and for Nero to jump in next once Kate hits his hand as a tag team. He uses his arm to grab his mouth to go in it, starts punching and slicing it from the inside many times, until he jumps out from his back covered in blue-like blood for a finishing blow, but far from over. Nero kept on slicing for Bael to come up for more… Kate follows Nero to go after Bael once he made a big hop to the other side waiting for them.

"You'll pay for taking my meal, boy! I'll eat you first!"

Another big gust of icy wind was about to happen out of Bael's mouth, instead was black of strong mist surrounding them, for Nero to track Bael down allowing Kate to go after his whisker girls floating around the place. Kate was using her light sword to cut her way through on her arm like a dagger and on her feet too as f she was dancing by slicing through the bad girls, for one to be stabbed to the face almost try to kiss her.

"Sorry, but I don't do those things you guys do."

For the other to come out by twirling to cut Kate, she hits back with her dagger since the other was down. Soon Nero sees Bael coming out of the blue, almost eating him whole jumping away in time just inches before he was swallowed whole. Nero kept on slicing for the demon to leap away many more times, does it again to hit Bael on his other side many times more making him roar to freeze up to protect himself. Not for Nero to keep on attacking the icy demon. Until Bael grabs Nero to finally eating him whole or so he thought by chewing so much… Kate wasn't too worried for him.

"Ha! Now it's your turn, girlie! You'll be joining with your friend in my stomach!"

Kate only smirks.

"Think again, Froggy."

Bael felt weird for Nero to shoot his way out to sit him out looking fine but covered in drool. So he strikes back hard, to avoiding Bael's jumping so much to watch out for his stomping.

"Out of my way!"

Over and over again this Bael demon goes on jumping until he flattens Nero for good and dead. Soon trapping Bael in a small corner allowed Nero to sucker punch the demon from behind up into the air, by grabbing hold of Bael's tail and throwing him back down hard. Kate joins back with Nero for she wanted to say something to the demon that almost ate her up.

"Don't start what you can't finish, bitch!"

The two high five each other being happy on another demon stopping. For Bael got creamed not wanting to go down until he ate his targets. Bael throws one of the blue girls at Nero, but he grabs hold of her by the leg to throw this beast down for the count landing on his backside; and many times more in the air in circles causing one whisker part to come off to fall down. With Nero still holding the other one now dead turning brightly blue being absorbed into his arm for more power.

"Nero, your arm…"

"Looks like my arm keeps on getting more and more powers to use."

While Nero was seeing his Devil Bringer glowing, Bael wasn't too happy.

"You think… you've… beaten me…!? Never! You piece… of…"

Nero said something to interrupt Bael from talking.

"That's exactly what I think."

Bael had trouble getting back up on his feet.

"My brothers… will come! They…"

For Bael was about to finish his sentence, Nero comes in 'with his arm powering up' ready to punch him. For Kate seeing his body showing another figure being all blue of another warrior appearing from behind, he punches Bael in the face from much third time hard to be spinning around the ground to hit a pillar to break until he went back down again. Nero still didn't like touching his body still covered in drool.

"C'mon, that's just nasty. Wait… did he say 'brothers'?"

Kate senses something going on from the gate after killing Bael.

"I think we're about to find that out."

Kate pointed out to Nero showing the gate to Demon World was opening up a bit more making the hole bigger, for the place started to shake for more and more demons like Bael 'though looking a lot different' of an army were about to come marching out to eat the two and no way they can stop them all.

"Now what do we do!?"

"Oh, that's fair! Now I got to fight a herd of these things!?"

Nero goes charges at the gate along with Kate joining him.

"You're not doing this alone this time, Nero! Wait up!"

From Kate flying and Nero jumping on Bael's dead body for a boost, Nero punches one of the demons to send the rest all the way back into Demon World and for Kate to fire many rounds at some about to sneak their way in, they were all too slow. Nero sees the switch that because the gate to open so with quick thinking Nero closes it in time with any luck should keep it closed for good.

"Sorry, pal. We're closed!"

Soon Kate and Nero did well, before they left Kate looks at Nero's arm sensing a whole new power coursing through him knowing this one by feeling what was left of Bael's part of the girl being something.

"Let me guess, Kate, you know of this one too? Then tell it away."

"No sweat. It looks like by ripping the part of Bael's other half off of him made yup have a new power known as Rusalika Corpse, but really those girls were known as Rusalika. It'll track anything out from hidden rooms, demons coming by, more Gates to Demon World, and finding items being more like a homemade instincts of a tracking deceive. So no need to get lost on something, your hand with this new power will guide you. Plus it's blinking our way to through that door we must go to next on the left."

One Kate said that, the gates went down to be open for her and Nero to go in next.

"Okay, I think you're more of a mind reader than knowing it all to me."

The two laugh together.

"Anyways, thanks for the save. I could've handled the pig myself."

"No problem, we're partners after all. Let's get going."

"You got it. We need to get to the other area through the waterfall; by doing that we must find what's through this door."

"Ready or not demons of Sanctus' ghost, here we come."

Nero and Kate went inside to the next room which they'll find the key along with other mysterious things that awaits for them the further they go right outside the courtyard and into the once in the covered snowy area of the soldier's graveyard. All seemed to be very quiet, somehow they already know what's coming in a second for them to fight with. Something came out to go through the ground 'like a ghost for Nero to find out what but it disappeared', strange… Soon it pops through Nero's chest with its head sticking out in front of his face.

"A demon-like ghost? That's new."

"I think it's more of the creature controlling the shadows to protect itself."

"Catching up, aren't we?"

"I learn from the best, Kate, you know mean just getting better."

Flies out of Nero for him to catch it but goes through the gates of the graveyard for another to fly another, stopping about to fight with the two in their way. They were known as Mephistos, or Mephisto. All red skinny type of snake demons with long bodies with a tail that's a shape of a scythe from its' tail to cut, for the other half on its' chest as a type of finger sticking out, has a head-like fish shape, blue eyes, and the cape-like shadows were covered in black unless removed can destroy them and their weak stinky bodies. Kate and Nero go in to stop the two flying around.

"A hunting we both go!"

Flying around those two Mephistos for Kate use her light powers to blind them for her to swipe one to lose its' shield, the same with Nero and his strong Devil Bringer arm to pull one off after dodging its' hidden dagger popping out like a fishing rod. Kate uses her other sword-like light to slash one to kicking it and Nero to throwing it on the ground many times until it was dead, after that they move on forward for Kate to sense out something was nearby on the other side being the Yamato was close for she promise Dante that they'll find it for Vergil's sake, allowing her to run off first.

"Nero! This way!"

Nero sees Kate taking off to catch up to her quickly through the graveyard, the frozen fountain with the waters into ice with some ice statues left out, pass the gates, around the other statues all over, the wall broken down on the right side, and soon the stairs leaving them to the next room. Kate made it up first with Nero after her wanting to know what was on her mind.

"Wait up, Kate! What's with all the hold up? What's wrong?"

Nero sees the look on Kate's face looking serious. Remembering when Dante fought with Vega 'who had Vergil's spirit in another body', for Kate, Kagero, and Ginger beaten all the Lecher armies allowing the two brothers to face off for the real Vergil to appear 'in spirit' to save Dante and ending Vega; only to lose the Yamato sword of Vergil's with it from afar for Agnus and Sanctus to take it so they had to find the weapon for them before it fell into the wrong hands of the enemies, too late now. Kate felt it before to remember what the feeling of the power was like to know where it was.

"It's here… Nero, the weapon that Dante and I were looking for a long friend who passed away is here. We got to get it back."

"We do?"

Kate tells Nero that this was serious.

"Please, Nero…?"

He felt her worrying and the weapon she has been looking for not to say no to Kate.

"I see, then let's go inside. Just don't go ahead of me, we're staying close."

"You go it. Sorry about that."

Once they went inside the place of the Master's Chambers of Sanctus' 'really?', both Nero and Kate face with more Bianco Angelos without any of them breaking the sweat leaving the place be messes but the bed where the priest slept in; after that they go on to the top where the Gyro was standing trying to get it on the other side, but how? Kate sees the blue wheel for once again Nero to use his skills to make a path way up top.

"This looks way too easy."

Nero activates it turning the deadly spikes from above the ceilings into a path for Nero to use his arm to push it through without it falling off once Kate flies across to wait for Nero to moving it little by little. By doing so he hits an object for the Gyro to break which he did, causing it and everything to go crashing all the way down for Kate to grab hold of Nero in time to fly down safely to the bottom. Getting back up would be another matter falling all the way down into a hidden sewers really fast; the two were fine after that landing for an item hidden in a tree-like stand could be there way out after they fought with more Mephistos, Kate got a little mad at Nero for almost falling to their deaths being too close.

"Way to almost getting us killed, Nero! Be careful!"

"How was I supposed to know that'll happen? So excuse me!"

Kate slaps Nero on the head to get his act together; it didn't hurt him too much. Kate gets the Wing Talisman item to save Nero the trouble turning all of the platforms from back up to turn on to jump up like a trampling.

"I got this rock so let's get out of here."

Kate wanted to aid Nero in flying back up again, but he had something else in mind.

"Nah… I got something better, let's jump."

"Oh, okay then…"

Once Nero and Kate got on standing close they started jumping up very high on their own looking crazy and all but it was fun to do.

"Going up!"

After about four jumps up they finally made it back to the opening door with no floor and stayed their time. Nero had fun and Kate kind of enjoyed it for them to look for the Yamato Sword and the key in getting in the next area somewhere for only Nero's arm to know the way. Kate tells the rest on what was going on for her and Nero making their way through.

(Kate: From falling down to getting back up, that was really fun though it was a bit stupid getting us to fall in the first place. Way ago, Nero. We make our way through for us to fight through many Scarecrows to Mephistos to get out of one room to get to where we needed to be next. Do they guys ever learn when to quit? There were more like the Frosts guys in the other room of the large hallways to be killed for Nero to throw one at the other to broken into tiny ice pieces all over the room; soon we had no choice but to go back to the hallways of the room where picture frame of Sanctus was just seeing this old man really creeps me out just by looking at it and him. We see another platform to be used that works to allow Nero to jump up to the lamp waving back and forth from the ceiling that could lead us to something big so he goes for it, this time he does it. I just fly on top of it so I can make sure he does the job well by breaking the holder of the lamp off.)

Kate points out to Nero of the half broken part holding the lamp ready to break at any time.

"Nero, you're up."

"Care to lend me a hand too?"

Kate uses her light beam that was the shape of the sword.

"You got it."

They break the holder of the lamp causing it to go flying for the chain holding it to swing right in the middle of the picture frame of Sanctus standing in the way; it was now destroyed making Nero and Kate very happy to do. The dust of the rumble clears up to showed a hole of a hidden room to go in and for Kate sensing the Yamato Sword was near. They go in from what looks like a hidden basement, into a hidden chambers with water coming through the ground. To another room soon looking like a hidden lab of a hidden secret alien base, knowing it was the works of Agnus for Kate could remember the person who was smart working for Sanctus has the orb too with the sword. The two stopped for a bit seeing there was something hidden down below to go to next, they take a break for a while and then they'll continue.

"Nero, let's rest for bit. We'll get the weapon and more demons to kill in a few minutes."

Nero had no problem to sit back for a bit.

"Sounds good to me. Any luck in finding your other friends and boyfriend?"

Kate got nothing from any of them close by, just Trish and what felt like Lady was there a while ago but she's long gone.

"Just a few from afar. At least they're doing well."

"We'll get there and what you're looking for soon. So just relax, Kate, I want to find them more than you do too."

"Thanks, Nero, that makes me feel a whole lot better."

Kate sits down for a bit too on one side next to Nero's.

"Glad to help."

The two just chill out together for soon they'll go down to get what needs to be done in finding things, the Yamato, the orb, stopping the enemy 'the real one', and finding her friends, her father, her weapon, and her Dante real soon. Nero hopes so and hoping Kyrie was doing well back at his home.

Mean while somewhere else in the church of Fortuna, there was a big room with a tomb stone-like bed for someone to be sleeping in being so important… Credo was standing alone with the dead body of Sanctus, or was he? Nope, he was alive once his eyes open showing it all red of a demon meaning he was one 'always have been really' for his body to move up to regain his powers and his nerves to move normally again. Shaking up the room looked all painful until he finally stopped meaning Jason was right wanted Dante to finish him off and miss his chance to. Does Credo know about the mess he was in? Sanctus began to breathe normally for him to see that he was fine.

"You have awakened."

Sanctus looks at Credo.

"Credo."

"My men are currently in pursuit of Dante. We think he's not alone, he has others backing him up somewhere, and we will find them. It is only a matter of time before his location is revealed."

Credo knows about a few more others with Dante not looking good at all.

"He came to us… It was fortune I was able to participate in the ascension ceremony."

Out of the shadows Agnus appears to see Sanctus was doing well knowing that he would come back from his line of work was also writing things in his favorite book, looking happy to see all was going so well.

"Ah… His Holiness… You look magnificent!"

Agnus wanted to get a closer look at Sanctus lying down, but Credo step aside not allowing him to making him unhappy around another member.

"You send that cocky kid Nero to find Dante?"

Credo wasn't afraid of Agnus to answering him.

"You dare question my command?"

Of course he was for Agnus didn't want Nero around his area for having a lab from down below.

"Yes! What shall befall me s-s-s-should he stumbles upon my research facility!?"

"Our priority is to capture Dante."

Agnus was about to snap at Credo.

"Why you t-t-t-t…"

But it looked like that Sanctus stops them from fighting each other.

"Credo."

"Yes, your Holiness."

"Gather everyone. I must ease their minds on this matter."

Credo goes off to get the members of the Holy Knights to have a meeting with Sanctus real soon that know about him not being dead.

"Of course."

Just seeing Credo's face to Agnus made him angry for him to write something down, looks like he had to go take care of things down of his lab himself where Nero and Kate were soon heading to. Now what seen Sanctus's a thread to have demon powers? What is his main goal once he captures Dante and having the Sword of Sparda? Not good that's for sure.

Somewhere else outside of the other side in Fortuna, for Lady to look around sending everything information by camera 'another one of Jason's alchemist powers to take pictures and giving out details once send like a text on a cell phone, but much more easier for her to use given by Jason for her to send many for him to have and to tell. From high, low, and so on 'even lots of demons' was enough to send after she stopped a lot of demons with her fighting skills and weapons on her own and not getting caught, remembering what do back at the Devil May Cry place for Jason telling Lady what do for Dante, Kate, Trish, and Alpha Line to listen in on the third part flashback.

"Here, Lady, you can do something for me since you been such a great help aiding me."

Jason throws Lady his item for her to catch it in time for her to look at up close in her hands, Dante teases her on it.

"A camera for your family fun time taking pictures. How cute."

"Shut it, Dante."

Kate looks at it too with Trish behind her.

"It's a camera but another alchemy skill from my Dad looking not a normal one."

"So what it this?"

Lady wanted to know herself as well.

"Yeah, Jason, don't keep me hanging since I was the one who did a lot of researching for you so I demand to know."

Jason started explaining to Lady on what to do and what the item can do.

"Well, my I-Lens is a special type of camera and a cell phone too. You know, all in one. While you keep the ones you know in track from their items can also take many pictures from landscapes, humans, demons, areas, and so on for once it has been taken it'll give tons of information for names and such on what it is. To text me back for me to get more information for a copy just for emergencies. So easy to do in seconds, and you, Lady, I want you to take as many while you're around the place hunting for demons by the time the people are in the memorial later on and report back to me to keep the others informed just in case. Understood?"

Lady tries it out at Dante and his entire place one shot at a time to send to Jason to test it out.

"Hey!"

Dante didn't like getting flash in the face.

"Does it work?"

Jason checks meaning it did.

"Oh, you bet. All good to go."

With Jason smiling with his thumbs up at Lady, she was all good for her to put it in her pocket for safe keeping.

"Then I'll get down to it. Good luck on your hunting spree, Dante, you and Kate please make me proud to let me do my job again."

Lady taps Dante on the back while trying to clear his eyes from the many flashes.

"Nicely done, Dad."

Jason loved Kate commenting him.

"Thank you, honey!"

"Oh, brother…"

Dante had something to say.

"Hey, Old Man, easy on the flashes there next time."

"Sorry about that."

End of flashback showing Lady doing just that to sending much information that she got from fighting demons, going to places all over so far, hoping that the others were alright, and continues sneaking around the place while staying armed with her weapons. Making a turn to look around the town 'being all empty' sees nothing, though she heard something with her gun out seeing no demon but a woman from when she lend Kate a hand from earlier. Seeing she was all alone looking at Lady 'and wearing the same clothes that Kate was wearing' wonders what she was doing.

"Hello? Miss, are you alright? You lost?"

Lady started walking up slowly to the woman.

"I'm here to help you. No need to be afraid."

Once Lady reached her hand out to the woman, she only smiled and runs off for her to go after her so no demon would try to kill or eat her.

"Hey, wait! Come back here! Wait up!"

The chase goes on until Lady finds her in the corner alone for her to talk some sense knowing that she is safe from danger with her around. The woman didn't look scared just standing and looking at Lady still smiling like she was waiting for something.

"Okay, no more running. Let's get you out of here."

Lady comes up to the woman not knowing a Bianco Angelo was behind her about to strike which ends here. For back in the underground area, Kate thought she heard Lady's screams from afar 'like a dying echo' but lost her whereabouts once it faded away and made her worry, it was soon time to go for Nero to get her moving for it was up to the two to keep on going no matter what and getting the Yamato Sword.

"Kate? You good?"

Nero gets up and so does Kate feeling like she was rushing.

"Oh, I'm fine! I thought I heard a voice."

Kate kept looking around for anyone she knows that was close like Lady with no luck.

"Maybe you were hearing things. Come on we better get going straight down. I might need a lift from you."

Kate tries to stay calm and focuses on her job.

"You're right, I'm sure they're fine where they are. Wait, you want me to fly you down?"

Nero tries being silly in asking Kate in doing so very nicely.

"Pretty please…?"

"Alright, but don't let go."

"I hear you loud and clear, captain."

Nero goes on Kate's back for a piggy back ride for deep in the hold they go by flight for Kate started to go down with her wings all good to use.

"And to the Yamato Sword to the next stage we go!"

Kate flies down really fast 'with Nero holding on to her really well wishing he could fly too', for it was a very long fall until finally they reach down for Nero to jump off and Kate to walk again from looking up to would be later on to try flying back when they're done.

"Damn! That's one long fall!"

"Let's go, Nero! We got some searching to do!"

The two enter in what looks like an underground labs 'belongs to Agnus for some of his work to be there' to look around for they got a huge tunnel to go through being big and very long, even when Nero throws a rock hears it being a real tunnel for sure handmade. Soon seeing a big giant vault in their way for Nero to jump right at it to kick it down, nothing happened.

"Damn it…"

Kate tries to tell Nero that something like this would stop them.

"What did you suspect that would do?"

Before Nero could say it, Kate said it for him.

"I know, cut me some slack, will you?"

That only made Nero smile a bit.

"You got it."

Somehow the big vault does break done into pieces like it was cut deeply from a sword, it wasn't Nero's doing it was some type of shark-like swimming ground demons coming right at them.

"Fishes on ground…? Nero!"

"They're going need bigger coffins after this what we're about to do to all of them!"

"Then its fishing time!"

They were known as Cutlass or Cutlass' for more than one. Being demons of fish swimming like sharks underground instead of water moving fast, striking hard, and their bodies sharp up with sword-like scales. With their blue sharp fins sticking out, six red eyes, sharp teeth with a very big jaw, having red bellies, tiny feet-like arms, and a short fish-like tail for together they make a nasty hunting machines to catch their pray in trapping it.

Moving all over the room – up, down, sideways, the ceiling, with no end for Nero or Kate to get them or getting inches away from them before being struck from their sharp bodies making marks all over as a close call. Nero couldn't shoot the and Kate had trouble catching one of them, that's when Nero grabs one with his arm to destroy and the other the second time for Kate to grab one with her hands by luck when one them pop out at Nero, cuts it in two with her powers.

"Nero! Pass me one!"

Nero throws one of the Cutlass' at her to use against them.

"Time to make some deadly Sushi!"

With it, Kate sends it falling all over under the metal parts hitting the rest to be cut in two for them to move forward on another fine work they did.

"I'm not eating those."

"I know. Come on, through this door! We're getting close!"

Nero says something to Kate while they go in the door for the next challenge they can do.

"Nicely done back there. A stronger demon defeated by its own weapon, now that sucks."

"It was nothing, Dante taught me that trick. Glad it worked."

For in the next room Nero and Kate were locked in, unless they can go through the other door from the far right side of the walls by playing a game. What type of game was there for them? A board game by the looks of it with many fvie different colors 'white, blue, purple, yellow, and red' on the ground and two statues of them as the players working as a team to make it far. Soon came a big spike dice 'with six numbers on each side' for only their swords to roll it one at a time for player knowing what they must do.

"Okay…?"

Didn't take too long for Kate to understand what she and Nero had to do next.

"I got it!"

"Got what? Tell me."

"Well, it's a board game of a puzzle we must solve and play together. The statues are us as players allowing me to go first, then you, and so on. We roll this big looking dice thingy without swords so no worries, we hit them to go flying for each number we get to move now let's see... What else? We must make it that main door to go through and be careful on the platforms we step on."

Nero wanted to know more.

"Like which ones?"

"White means safe, red means we must fight demons, yellow means it'll move forward for us or sometimes backwards knowing it'll be rare to do that… blue means lots of power up for us, and purple… Well, something about a curse if we don't land on one being a few here. So the good ones we get, the better we'll win to get further either way for us to get there first. So, Nero, shall we do it while challenging ourselves?"

Nero liked the sound of that to adjust his hands to go all out with Kate and helping out.

"Why not? Game on!"

"Yeah! Bring it!"

And it begins. A battle for them to have with one another in some way. For Kate to narrated this part on what was going on for Nero and Kate playing to get through the puzzle to unlock.

(Kate: This should be fun to play, I get to go first. I hit it with my sword getting a six to move, but I ended up fighting with the Frost demons to land on a red spot, but I did make it far which leaves to Nero's turn to move, lucky for him he landed on a white spot to be safe allowing me to go next this was getting fun to play; mu turn to get a three to land on a yellow spot to move onwards there so that was really good on the left side for only a few spaces to go for Nero make his next move. He gets a six landing on a white space meaning he was safe for me to go next. Got lucky twice to be safe, we were having fun if it wasn't for life and death. My turn! I roll a six to move just enough from four spaces to finally make it to the very end meaning I won, though Nero got bummed out that I defeated him just beaten by a girl he had fun for to unlock the puzzle and for us to keep on going to the next room.)

"Nice game, Kate."

"It was fun to play. Now what do you say we go in? I can feel the Yamato Sword inside calling out, so let's not waste anymore time. A demon's in there too with a powerful machine so be on your guard."

"Let's just get this over with already."

Nero was ready for anything to face along with Kate as well.

"Here we go."

The two went inside seeing a weird thing in the middle but through the window there was another lab inside with more demons in jars, lots of tiny swords hanging around the walls, lots of machines operating, weird sounds going around, and right before Kate's eyes seeing the Yamato from a far distances it was there. It was in a blue light operating some type of machine alright for a weapon or something with half broken and it was still working from the battle Dante had against Vega caused it.

"There it is!"

Kate couldn't break the glass down from her powers, kicks, or punches for it was hard to be destroyed, not even Nero couldn't do it either.

"Well, this sucks."

Nero soon sees his arm was glowing near the Yamato for Kate to see it too, but how and why? They soon see Agnus walking around in the room looking at his research in his book for Kate to recognize him who works for Sanctus who also has the orb too somewhere in the room, for her to find out where.

"Wait, is that's…?"

He looks at the two from the glass.

"So you've come with a little friend. Just as I expected."

"Nero, be on your guard now."

"I know, he's no ordinary human. So who he hell are you?"

"I am Agnus."

He bows to them for Nero got confused for Kate to know who he was a little.

"The brains who works for Sanctus, s he is alive…"

"Ah, Kate? Did he say his name was anus?"

Kate corrects Nero on that.

"No! He said Agnus!"

Though she laughed and so did Nero, for Agnus wasn't happy to hear.

"Sorry, my bad."

"Be silence! For you see… It's my working in secrecy; very few are p-p-p-privy to my existence."

Kate demanded the sword back.

"Idiot! You stole the sword! I want it back!"

"Back? But it has fine energy to use for anything from making demons to gaining control."

"Like the orb too, I know about the thing left out for the Glena from Trevor you took along with your boss."

Agnus was please to hear that coming from Kate.

"Yes, we took it… Very useful it is caring for t better than that human in demon skin did, we thank you."

Nero puts his hand out next to Kate to calm her down, feeling what she went through to understand.

"Nero?"

"Funny, to figure an Order official out for a scroll in a hellhole kinda place like this."

Agnus got really mad when Nero said it to point out to the heroes, like Nero cared.

"Hellhole!? Watch your words! Just as fouled mouthed as I had heard… The rumors prove true. As will the new ones concerning your d-d-d-demise."

Kate yells back at Agnus from her powers following through.

"Don't hold your breath, Porky Pig!"

"Don't you think that's a little harsh? Killing us because of the way I t-t-t-talk?"

Kate laughs that time.

"Nice one!"

Agnus only gives him the hand 'meaning talk to the hand' right at Nero. For him to summon his Sword-like demons that can fly all over the room with eyes on each of their sides to see and to cut both Nero and Kate down. Were the same types as the Cutlass is.

"Great. More demons."

Kate was ready to fight.

"Nero! We need that sword! We got to break through to stop Agnus! I got this one; I know how to get us in!"

"Then I'll back you up."

"Deal."

Nero and Kate try avoiding all the demons trying to strike them down all over from their swords against their sharp bodies.

"This… This was all Credo's doing. It was Credo who ordered you to follow Dante… It was Credo who brought you here!"

They got their attention about Dante and Credo. Nero wanted to know more and Kate got confused on t his mess a little.

"Dante…? They want him? And Credo, that's Kyrie's brother right? He's behind this mess?"

"Dante…? You mean the man that killed his holiness? What the hell is going on here!?"

Kate tries correcting Nero.

"But I told you, Dante isn't…"

"I know, I just want some answer."

"Me too… I know that Sanctus dead or alive is hiding something!"

"I don't have to answer to any of you. For you two are already as good as d-d-d-dead."

With Agnus watching and reading at the same time, both Kate and Nero had to put their heads together to break through, stop Agnus, get some answers, kill the demons, and get the sword back. For they were ready for anything while Agnus did a lot of researching on them.

"I beg to differ. Kate!"

"Let's get down!"

Kate glows up all blue with wings, her gun, and her light sword out to fight by Nero's side. Seeing the look on Agnus' face showing Kate isn't just a human but the real half breed Angel like he never seen before could lead her in danger if she's not careful. Still, she needs the sword for Dante to get back for Vergil to rest in peace and then finding the other next wherever they are now like Lady. It was now Nero and Kate vs. Agnus and his Cutlass group flying sword-like shark armies, with Kate thinking only about Dante in her head to help her win this fight.

(Kate: Oh, Dante, where are you? Please come back soon.)
