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

By Tayla Drago

Mission# 8: The Caring Heart of a Demon

It was a big fight about to happen for Nero goes up against Credo as Angelo Credo to save and stopping him for his and Kyrie's sake. While Kate watches the fight about to happen and backing up Nero from behind, the two have to make it inside the place in order to stop Sanctus and Agnus to save Jason, Lady, the missing girls, and Kyrie as well, can they in time? For Kate tries withstanding her strange illness to watch and senses something else far more powerful from within the place meaning it does not look good at all. Kate narrates how the fight goes on for once knowing each other for years of training have finally gone face to face in battle. Credo calls out his battle cries about to stab Nero hard.

"Do not underestimate me!"

(Kate: So two close childhood friends and Nero in love with Credo's sister Kyrie has finally started. Now I see how serious this was about to get. Nero gets hit from Credo long sword to out run him and he comes up Nero slowly for him to protect from any fast hits from Nero's sword allowing Credo to move to the other side, and soon throws his sword straight into Nero. This looked bad! Nero seem to be dodging and all to stop Credo for this was one hell of a cool sword fight going on from hits, blows, and speed that my eyes felt weird watching it; from one powerful hits Credo was giving to Nero he just came back for more allowing him to finally know Credo's moves to hit back for they were giving it their all in this fight.)

Credo kept on fighting even if Nero was twice as powerful as he was.

"I won't let you go."

"Bring it on, Credo!"

(Kate: And things were getting crazier. Lucky for Nero's arm pulls him to Credo to hit him a few more times, though his body shield was strong Nero grabs hold of Credo with his arm to send him flying, but again not over until one was done for the count… It didn't matter how fast Nero out ran Credo, his shooting his sharp feathers out, throwing his sword like a dagger, or blasting Nero many times he wasn't going to go down; Nero was getting the upper hand so far besides being push back from Credo's shield to keep on fighting for Nero throws another punch for Credo was about to strike. Go, Nero! Win this and talk some sense into Credo already!)

"Prepare to die!"

Nero looks all beaten up and bleeding a little making Kate worry about him, but she had no choice but to let him settle the fight against Credo for to recover on his own thanks to his arm to still fight.

(Kate: Nero was mad now. He goes up to Credo with his arm to grab, punching non-stop, and another one to send flying to the ground hard to getting back up. Damn this was getting somewhere big! He was even madder to swing his sword out so fast for Nero to dodge and to watch out for.)

"I will not suffer. No! I won't be defeated!"

(Kate: Now he tells us so. Nero keeps on punching and flying above him from getting hurt.)

Credo kept on going against Nero and him to stand strong.

"Now die, demon!"

(Kate: Credo was way too fast to be swinging again and again scaring Credo for he couldn't stop Nero!)

"Come on! Show me what you got!"

Nero spits out a few blood out of his mouth.

"You ask for this…"

(Kate: Flying above him, Nero uses his arm to grab hold of Credo to swing his sword many times at him. Ouch! Though he does it back to Nero hard causing the ground to crack from every time he uses his deadly sword, and a new one where he gathers many to circle around Nero to stab him everywhere but he blocks and pushes them away only to be cut to the face a few times; it just keeps on going so much more without an end and back to the same with from speed and throwing swords at over and over, from Credo's body glowing things were getting bad. That's where Nero finally uses his Yamato powers to slash Credo hard with one hit to come falling down from flying and was hit pretty hard. Looks like Nero won and now to help out Credo while he still has some human within him.)

It wasn't over yet… Credo comes in to use his shield at Nero but he stops it with his arm being all powered up to throw Credo back down hard and for Kate to fire a beam blast to calm him down for more of her Angel powers courses through her to get mad and worried again for Credo sees a true Angel she really was.

"Alright, that is it!"

One blast finally stopped Credo to turn back to normal and for Nero to be amazed from Kate once again while looking at his arm glowing up leaving his friend not happy that the lost ready to strike again with his sword.

"No... Not yet! I'm not finished!"

Credo charges to strike leaving Nero to stop him, for his arm stopping his sword from hitting him to finally going down for the count for Kate to say so.

"See? Real Angel standing before you. And you are out of here!"

With Kate telling Credo so Nero comes up knowing it was hard to do 'but still the right thing' in saving Credo's life for he was amazed how well he can still fight as he tries to get back up.

"Your strength has increased!"

Kate reaches her hand out to Credo.

"Credo, your sister told me to come to Nero by aiding him. You and Kyrie are being fooled by Sanctus, he is a demon and you became one too. Please let us help you and you can help us out, let me heal your wounds."

Credo allowed it for Kate started recovering him by holding his hand just shocked from this whole mess turning out to be the truth.

"So… Kyrie my sister might be right about this. She trusts in you and Nero. So why have I…?"

"It's okay, we'll explain the rest once we…"

Kate stops for Kyrie came at a very bad timing.

"No… Not now."

She was right, once Kate and Nero heard Kyrie screaming while standing to see the horror, they turn around to see her looking at Nero in fear for he and her brother Credo are demons.

"Kyrie…"

Kyrie sees Nero's hand being a half human and half demon that couldn't hide it from her anymore and Credo lying on the floor who was very hurt. Nero tries to reason with Kyrie and the same with Kate, but she walks away from Nero.

"No wait... This isn't what you think..."

"Why...? Why did you do this...?"

Kate tries reasoning with her and showing Credo that she and Nero are on his side, soon learning he made a terrible mistake from the very beginning.

"Kyrie, wait!"

"Kate…?"

"Now you look scared, Nero was hiding it for a very good reason. Just hear us out…"

With Kate about to say something while still all shook up near Nero holding on to the necklace he gave to Kyrie, Agnus appears next to her for she was really in danger now, for he looked happy for the plans to go well for Sanctus and getting rid of Credo.

"Kyrie, look out!"

Kate tries to get Kyrie away from Agnus but he uses his demon sword name Gladius (explain more on them later on) for he will stab Kyrie if she makes a wrong move for her to step aside.

"Agnus!"

"It was our intentions to protect you from the truth. Nero is a demon. Sorry, Ms. Jones, she needed to know the truth herself."

Kate got mad and so did Nero.

"You bastard!"

"You son of a-!"

Before Nero could go near Agnus, he points his sword at him unless he wants Kyrie to get hurt. Kate could tell that deep down Kyrie still cared for him.

"Nero."

Making Nero upset and so was Kate just watching the horror. Soon he makes sure the sword was close to Kyrie's neck.

"Not to worry. I have no intentions of harming her... yet. Though it would appear your attachment extends beyond friendship..."

Kyrie soon learned the dream she had for the danger to come was real.

"My God... Kate, the dream I had it was real… I'm so sorry…"

"Kyrie."

Nero got mad at Agnus.

"She has nothing to do with this... Let her go!"

Soon Credo speaks up knowing he must make up from his sins he made as he walks up slowly to Nero and Kate to join them weaken to move but not to let his sister get hurt.

"Agnus! How dare you use my sister! This is my fight and I will finish it! Let her go!"

Kate was amazed and Kyrie was happy her brother listens to reason.

"Alright, Credo!"

"His Holiness predicted your defeat and so ordered that your sister be utilized."

"What…?"

That shocks the three to hear and Kyrie couldn't break free so all of them go charging at Agnus. Before they could strike at Agnus and save Kyrie, he powers up into his demon form to pushing Kate, Nero, and Credo back from his powers allowing him to escape while carrying Kyrie in his arms. Kate tries shooting from the anger she was in for her Angel powers to kick in misses the demon to shoot down.

"Damn you!"

Agnus makes a fool out of Kate.

"Ha! Miss me! I do believe a friend of yours and your dear Daddy is waiting for you inside, Ms. Jones, so do hurry!"

Kate drops her weapon sensing that Agnus was telling the truth for Lady and Jason to be inside as prisoners.

"Lady? Dad?"

"If you want her, then come and get her, for I cannot guarantee her fate."

Agnus takes off with Kyrie back inside the building for he waits for the other two to go in and to kill Credo after being used. Nero now knows he and Kate must go inside together, for Kate has to be strong until Dante arrives with Trish and her weapon Alpha Line as she tries cheering her friend up and getting her gun to reload.

"Nero, I'm so sorry."

Nero makes his demon arm into a fist in anger for he was stronger than he looks.

"If we're going to save your friends and your father, I know we'll save Kyrie as a team. I won't let Sanctus or Agnus get away with this. What did to Kyrie and Credo will pay."

Kate could only smile after hearing Nero say that.

"I'm with you on that. Credo! Now you see that you and your sister were fooled by a madman?"

Hard to believe for Credo to hear the shocking truth, he does all thanks to Nero and Kate saving him. Though after that powerful shock and feeling very weak, he was unable to get up until he recovered on his own.

"His Holiness... He used Kyrie...?"

Tries getting up, Kate helps him a little.

"Whoa, easy there. You're no shape to fight right now."

"But my sister!"

"I know, like Nero and I will let anything happen to her."

Nero had to say something to Credo from pulling him up roughly and demanding some answers for Kate to calm him down.

"Where's he taking her? Back to headquarters?"

Kate pulls Nero away from the injured Credo.

"Dude! Can't you see he's hurt!? Relax!"

Credo goes on his own.

"I would assume so. Nero, we must set aside this battle until I find out the truth of this."

Kate tries to stop Credo from moving, but he was headstrong so he would be fine on his own.

"Ah, Credo, you sure?"

"I'll be fine. You two do what you can and I'll do mine."

Soon Credo goes into Angelo Credo to fly around the building to get in 'little did the three know that two more came to the other side by breaking in quietly meaning it was Trish as Gloria and Dante made it in', before Credo left he left something for Nero to have in his arms to absorb.

"Nero! Use this! Don't think about dying on me if we're to fight again so use it well!"

Credo leaves the two for Nero to absorb the piece of Angelo Credo's arm that sort of came off and healed like a lizard's tail for Kate to see. Known as the Aegis Shield, for used by Credo himself in his demon form is also Nero's skills to defend himself against demon to push aside with strong force. Now Kate and Nero head inside the place to find the three people, the missing women, and stop Sanctus.

"Nero? Love the new powers and all, but right now we better get going."

Nero goes inside first and then Kate from behind hoping Dante, Trish, and Alpha Line were alright leaving her to save Kyrie, Jason, and Lady from inside and hoping the woman too.

"Right, let's go. Follow me."

The two were on their own once again with Credo taking care of things on his end 'while learning the truth'; they enter through the hallways of the hideout church for something very powerful was lying for Sanctus to use soon. But what was it from the Yamato and the orb to make it this far? From the nice view from the inside to crossing another long bridge from the outside of the place for a nice view to look at could only lead to trouble along the way which it did for Nero and Kate to fight another new demon, or demons known as… Well, thought to be more Assaults instead they run after the Bianco Angelos to hold them off with their shields, in came a newer one with wings flying down known as Alto Angelo or Alto Angelos just slice all the Assaults in seconds with one swing from its sword while still walking.

"Nero, more knight weirdoes."

Nero goes charging at them for Kate to fly in just to help him out.

"More demons or not, no one will get in our way!"

"Here we go then… Wait up!"

The Alto Angelos are like captains of the Bianco Angelos created by Angus to kill as he said how he did it from before. All white and black armor looking fine and shiny, a helmet of a robot shape with red eyes, ears-like popping out, a halo up top, stronger shield of a wing on one arm side, the other with a longer and sharp looking sword with sharp blades on both sides when held, a red orb on their chest, longer legs, lots of armor made of gold to glow up, and silver wings to fly and strike their enemies down. Does that stop Nero and Kate? Nope. Though they were fast as a team to come at full force at the two, they were faster to dodge their every move they made from almost being stabbed for Kate took down the first Bianco Angelos on her own using the same moves in beating them all the time; as for Nero stopping the Alto alone to use his arm to grab hold, jump up, destroy its shield, and just slam dunks it to the floor and crushes its head with his legs in between to go down for them to move on. Nice!

Soon making their way to the grand hall looking nice, clean, with many fires to be lid up, and too quiet for no demon or any weren't around so far for them to stay on their guard at all times. Nothing so far until they make it back outside to see a bridge up but wasn't down due to the roots holding it, for something from up top making it is holding it to get the key because nothing that Kate does from blasting it down to Nero hitting the bottom didn't do anything. So up they go as they turn around a machine was on for the many laser beams on the ground will burn and cut you if they were to stand in it so they try to make their way through it somehow.

"Now this is getting dumb."

Kate got her wings out.

"Hey, either way we're winning this. Let's fly!"

"Right behind you, Kate."

So with quick thinking, Kate flies to the other side for the right door to open for them and for Nero to out run the beams to get across alright just his jacket got one hole through lucky not to be his head. Into the next room was more laser moving too fast to go through and fighting with more Bianco and Alto Angelos to deal with as a team; they soon see a statue for grabbing out thanks to Nero was a weird looking key with a sand timer in it and a stone to put in meaning it can slow down time for a second to get through the lasers known as the Key of Cronus for Kate to hear about it so much.

"Wow! You got the Key of Cronus!"

"The key of what?"

"The first item created by Father Time himself. Using it can be handy to use for emergencies to get through dangerous objects standing in the way for death to come knocking on your door, but with this can allow you to pass through the beams only for a second to move fast until it rubs out. It must be more of these around the place. We can move fast leaving the other things and the demos to be very slow to move away from you. Try it out."

Kate points out to the stone for Nero to use it on.

"Okay, okay. Like this?"

Nero upper cuts the stone with the key within him to slow down time and space but them to go through the door.

"Yes, like that. Now come on!"

The two made it through before time was up. Nero and Kate headed to the next room for they were getting really close. Nero use the wheel to turn it allowing the elevator to come down to get onto to go up, for more demons to get killed thanks to Kate and Nero's skills to stop while going up and then more time stopping to avoid the beams to go through carefully; and soon another one to go up top in fighting more and more Frosts and Scarecrows in their way. And one more to do in the room to stop time again – for them to get across without getting hit from every reflect they did in staying alive. In the nick of time too by fighting more and more Assaults for Kate and Nero made it to the top to get through once they did. Going up…

They were close for Kate to sense Kyrie was inside the room/lab of Agnus for her and Nero to go to, that's when it happened. One floor created a hole sucking Kate into it and trapping her within a building for Sanctus has her in his hands this time.

"Oh, crap!"

Nero tries to punch the walls and floors with his powers, shooting, and slashing but none of them worked who needed Kate for this.

"No, Kate! Kate! I can't break you out!"

Kate couldn't neither and felt her father and Lady were nearby and so was Kyrie to go rescue leaving Nero to fight with Agnus on his own.

"Nero! Go on without me! I got to go save the others and my Dad!"

"No! I can't leave you!"

Kate runs off for Nero to worry her making his arm to glow meaning danger was coming.

"Just go on! I'll be fine, my Dad, Lady, the other girls, and Kyrie need me! Go stop Agnus to kicking his ass for me please!"

Nero understood for she does her part and so does he.

"Got it. Just be carefully, Kate! I'm coming back for you!"

Nero shouts out to Kate for her to hear him down the hallways for she makes her way to her friends and father.

"Okay, Nero! You are the best w got and my Brother so go for it!"

"You too, Sister!"

Soon both Nero and Kate went their separate ways for Nero goes in the room to search for Agnus to stop him and go back to Kate as she finds the other three quickly underneath the buildings, for she was getting close where she needed to be seeing that Kyrie looked scared in one room with some statues what looked like women and Lady being out cold. Soon Kate breaks through the vents to see if everyone and Kyrie was okay.

"Kyrie! Are you okay?"

Kyrie sees Kate standing before her looking well.

"Oh, Kate. It's you… Where are Nero and my brother?"

"Kyrie!"

Kate comes up to Kyrie to hugging each other and happy to be together again as friends.

"Oh, Kate, I'm glad to see you're alright."

"Me too. I'm scared…"

"I know you are, but I'm here. Tell me, did Agnus hurt you?"

Kyrie nodded a no for Kate to be happy to see her unharmed.

"No, I'm fine. It just the other girls but this one lying next to me… They have been turned into stones from the Order of the Swords. It was horrible!"

Kate could sense the missing women she heard and remembers what they look like that she found them along with Lady not one of them, sensing her body meaning she was alive just out cold.

"No way… I found them. Looks like Lady will be alright. Meaning my Dad is too."

Kyrie holds Kate's arm wanted to know everything that's been happening lately.

"Kate, please tell me. My dreams, the terror that'll soon happen like this, my brother in danger, and Nero… Are they demons?"

"Ah… Yes and no for some. This will be hard to explain to you here to try to stay calm and listen to me carefully."

Kate began telling Kyrie the whole thing that was going on as she explained by narrating about it.

(Kate: So I told her everything. Between Nero on what he really was and getting his powers from the parents in being reborn from Dante and Beatrice of Anima's other half, why her brother Credo became one, who I was along with Dante, the real son of Sparda being real, Trish as Gloria going under cover, both my Dad and Lady were captured, my weapon Alpha Line is still missing, me being a half breed Angel, and her dreams being all too real. As well as Sanctus' history of once being a bum to having two daughters in killing one of Lully and Billy's Mother and her sister Lilly he murder… Oh, and let's not forget about the missing women he was also involved in; once I left one of the statues next to me showed how they were slaves in soon becoming stones about twelve of them next to us still alive and some being broken down. Not good! At least it didn't turn Kyrie and Lady into one yet, but still why does that old freak want with Nero's girlfriend? After telling Kyrie, she knew that Nero or Credo couldn't be mean to her so she felt happy and for me telling her the whole thing. The only thing left was to find a way out of here somehow.)

"Oh, I'm so glad to hear."

"And these statues are all the missing women still alive while some were crumbled."

Kate looks at the ground sensing how they were killed by breaking into pieces by Agnus' work.

"I'm glad Nero will come to our rescue and Dante's the true Son of Sparda. Though I thought…"

Kate said something about that.

"That all demons were bad? No, just some and others are really good like my Dante. And Nero would never hurt you, he loves you a lot."

Kyrie was shock to hear and very shy.

"He is…? In love with me?"

"Yes! You and I we have the men we love to protect us. For that to see them again we have to get out of here."

"But how?"

Kate uses her powers to carry Lady 'while she was still out cold' into the vent for her and Kyrie to make their escape.

"Through here. Try hiding my friend and get in, I need to find my Dad and then I'll join you."

Kyrie had something to say.

"Kate, wait. There are others trapped in here."

"I'll come back with Nero to save them. I promise."

"It's all my fault that this happen. If only I knew."

Kate went to cheer Kyrie up.

"Kyrie, it isn't your fault. None of us knew from Sanctus isn't the type of person to be around. Whatever he's cooking up we will stop him and save many lives. That's our job as demon hunters after all."

With Kate smiling at Kyrie she knew there was still hope left.

"Oh, Kate, thank you. Then let's go. You and I are friends, right?"

The two hold each other's hands for Kate was glad she met with Nero's girlfriend seeing how much they were met for one another.

"We sure are…"

Soon they heard a noise for someone was coming in for Kate to get Lady and Kyrie out of the room first.

"Someone's here. Kyrie, go with Lady and I'll check up later-!"

They soon see Jason on the ground all chained up and beaten pretty bad to still being alive for Kate to stop.

"Oh, no…"

"Dad!"

Kate goes up to Jason's body to heal him, but before that Agnus appears to shoot a dart into Kyrie's arm to put her to sleep and into a glass-like cage to trapping her for she was a prisoner to Sanctus leaving Lady's body to be taken away by the Alto and Bianco Angelos carrying her away, and having Kyrie out cold.

"Kate… Save… Nero…"

Kyrie goes to a deep sleep and soon moving into the next room for Kate could get to her in to for the floors to go back to normal. Jason said something to Kate to warn her while seeing other Holy Knights 'that weren't demons being dragged off too'.

"What the hell's going on here?"

Jason had trouble talking to Kate to warning her quickly.

"Kate…"

"Dad? What happen? Are you alright?"

Joining with Agnus was Sanctus coming in to the room and another one being the woman showing herself as a Chimera wearing the women's clothing of the church with the body of a girl with lots of vines sticking out who I think is voice by Carrie Savage.

"Hey there, girlfriend. Sorry to play with you but it was long enough to get His Holiness what he needs. I'm Echidna's creation Ivy Chimera. So welcome to your doom."

"You!"

Jason grabs on to Kate's hand to say it already out of his mouth.

"Dad, don't move. I'll get you and everyone else out of here."

"No… Kate…"

"What is it, Dad?"

Soon she sees more Angelos with Ivy standing next to her with Agnus appearing to soot a Kate next and Sanctus too seeing them. Before the Angelos took the beaten up Jason into the cellars where the knights and Lady were going in as well, he says it quickly to save his daughter's life.

"Kate! Run away!"

Soon Jason and Lady disappear from Kate for her to try to save them in anger with her powers coursing through her body.

"No! Dad! Lady! Kyrie! Give them back!"

Agnus comes up in front of her aiming.

"Our Holiness has something special for you, my dear."

A couple of shots to the leg made Kate stop though she tries to move and slowly getting weaker to fall asleep, with Agnus still aiming Sanctus tells him to put it down for he has got his slave Angel this time.

"That's enough, Agnus. Nero is coming, so go do your part by using her."

Agnus understood and turns himself into his demon form and going to the next room where he awaits Nero with Kyrie to show him.

"Yes, your Holiness. You got what you need and I have mine. We finally have your p-p-p-precious Angel with you. I shall take my leave."

Agnus flies off leaving Ivy with a command for her do by Sanctus' orders.

"Ivy, you have served me well. Make sure to keep the cages locked for our prisoner and these statues in tacked."

Ivy goes off with the Angelos to aid them and wait for the real show to soon start later on.

"Yes, your Holiness."

Ivy leaves with the other prisoners to put away and Sanctus has his hands full with Kate for he finally has her about to sleep but she tries to fight him.

"At long last, Kate Jones, you are finally mine. Dante nor Nero won't save you what I had in store for them for you to watch with me."

Sanctus tries to grab hold of Kate as she was about to fall and seeing a blur all over her eyes, she fight back by using her beam-like sword to cut his hand away from her. For it was bleeding it soon healed quickly for Sanctus was a demon for Kate to find out the hard way.

"No-!"

Kate soon couldn't get up fearing for the worse. For Sanctus to smile and licks off his own wounds from his arm to move up closer to Kate, soon falling to sleep 'more like her body to feel very numb' she cries for she hopes that Dante and Nero will come to her and the others' rescue including Kyrie's. For she couldn't speak trying to call out Alpha Line for help.

"Dante… Nero… Where are you guys…?"

Kate soon was out for the count leaving Sanctus to pick her up 'while putting a strange looking collar on her neck' and soon to kissing her on the lips. Not good… What's to come for Kate now and has Trish and Dante got in time to save her along with Jason, Lady, the other missing women, the other Holy Knights, and Kyrie? It looks like now that Nero is on his own from here on out until he comes to Kyrie and Kate's rescue. He enters in the room of Agnus' alone seeing Kyrie out cold in a cage-like glass from above him just floating from a bright red light all over from inside. Before Nero could do anything to get her down, Agnus flies in to take care of him and his Yamato. Getting out his sword he was ready to fight with Nero alone this time.

"So, you've come."

"What have you done to Kyrie?"

"Why don't you check and find out. But don't expect me to be as easy on you as I was last time."

Nero makes his demon arm into a fist for he'll do all that he can to save his Kyrie no matter what happens in round two.

"If I have to kill you to save Kyrie, then let's roll."

Agnus comes flying at Nero to battle with him there were a lot of his Gladius 'like the sword he was holding in his hands' to fight with him. Looking like the Cutlass, these were a bit different to be ten times stronger as Agnus sword-like weapon demons. Looking like long swords, when popped out their heads are shape of dragon's of the color gray, yellow eyes, scale-like chest with sharp edges, with a chain-like tail to stick out, another part of the wing 'being the sword with sharp point on the back colored in red, purple, and black, and the upper part had wings of red to fly really fast unless when grabbed turn into swords by force. The fight begins for Nero vs. Agnus in round two with many Gladius' in the way. Ready… Fight!

(Tayla: Guess I'll take over until Kate comes around and all to explain what's happening. Agnus strikes at Nero first with his sharp Gladius sword for Nero to go full on his Yamato to upper cut from his arm into slicing him hard. Nice! Nero just kept on clashing away against Agnus while flying around to avoid him, but too slow! Now having two more swords on him to strike three times really fast for Nero to grab hold of his head to jump up and slash so more. Soon powering up all yellow to summon another large sword to strike at Nero; allowing following him all over the room until he shot it down and then goes right after Agnus to give him a total throw down to the ground by throwing him up towards the ceiling and next back down right at his face to the ground. Now that has to hurt. Oh! And uses Agnus' own sword demon to stab him in the back not once but twice to watch him suffer by bleeding. Agnus gets back up to his feet to fly away from Nero quickly.)

"This can't be happening!"

(Tayla: But it is… Agnus flies up a bit with strong winds he was making from his huge wings for Nero to keep on fighting. Tries powering up for a deadlier lighting attack to charge up, but thanks to Nero of course he stopped him, the fights not done yet. From Nero slashes and didn't care how many of Gladius' and Cutlass' came at him, the hero kept slashing Agnus really hard without stopping once; though slowing him down by making more longer swords to summon and go spinning around to slash Nero for having many cuts to heal so quickly this kid was tough alright. Ouch! Throwing his weapons but to be stuck to the walls and for Agnus to summon more and more sword-like demon fishes to cut Nero into two and next summoning a hole to shoot out fire at Nero to burn. Get up! Though Nero kept on fighting back with many more slashes ahead.)

Agnus powers up until he sees Nero dead for good.

"Time to die."

"Ain't gonna happen."

(Tayla: Crazy, ain't it? No matter how far Agnus flew Nero kept on grabbing hold with his Devil Bringer arm to grab hold and go after him. But Agnus got a hold of him to absorb his powers to heal on his own. Cheater!)

"You'll be mine!"

Agnus recovers by glowing after getting some energy back from Nero and throws him down.

(Tayla: But does that stop him? Think again! From more swinging swords to more demons swimming from the grounds Nero had to beat him to save Kyrie. So more slashes at Agnus before he could do another powerful move to take him down hard, thanks to Nero's Yamato slashes him to using the same moves to give that demon another hard throw down and one last stab from his own weapon finally stop Agnus. Yes! Nero won once again! Now save Kyrie and get going to the next stage of the level! Hurry!)

Agnus was flying up in the air with his hand on his chest being in pain and sounded angry too leaving Nero happy to get his anger out at him.

"Damn you! DAMN YOU! I will kill you! I will kill you!"

"Is that all you got? I think it's time to put you out of your misery."

"Ah! Enough!"

Before Agnus could strike and Nero to defend himself, in came a lot of Bianco Angelos all over to fight Nero to hold him off leaving Agnus to escape with Kyrie thanks to Sanctus' help for both of them to hear from another room he was talking to by controlling the Alto Angelo standing before the demon.

"Your Holiness!"

"That's enough, Agnus. Go and prepare for activation. I got Kate with me; just bring Kyrie back. He will come for her."

Agnus bows to Sanctus in doing so.

"Right away."

Nero overheard Sanctus saying he has Kate meaning she and the others she went to find were trapped too like she was.

"No not Kate."

Agnus flies up to return back in making the plans to go real soon. As Sanctus sees Nero still fighting and looks at Kyrie, he sees him taking Kyrie away. Fighting his way through many Angelos off to get to his girlfriend quickly, he jumps up 'at the same time destroyed more Angelos in the way to clash into each other' Nero tries reaching out to Kyrie.

"Let her go! Kyrie!"

In slow motion how far Nero was close to Kyrie, he only heard her voice calling out to him meaning she forgiven him and only wants t be safe from danger than risking himself for hers.

"Nero..."

Jumping to miss Kyrie but only to get her necklace he gave to her and missed. Only for that lot more Angelos came flying into pinning Nero down for Sanctus to use the other to carry Kyrie out.

"Kate! Kyrie!"

"They're all mine and so will you and Dante shall be next! You have indeed inherited Sparda's power."

Once Alto Angelo 'controlled by Sanctus' flies off with Kyrie, more and more Angelos were about to finish Nero… Only for his eyes to glow red meaning he was angry this time. Once being a lot of Angelos on top of Nero, he screams out loud to pushing them all aside with great force to go all over the room for they were down for the count, leaving poor Nero too late in saving Kyrie and now Kate captured losing his only friend/sister but his girlfriend he swore to protect and failed. Looking at the necklace left out he has in his hands, he goes to the ground to bang his hands many times on screaming in anger and crying. Ah… Is there any hope for him yet?

Nero punches the ground one more time to make the root glow up. From his arm to destroying them all in one hit for the bridge to finally going down to the next room, knowing there was no time to be celebrating he still had to go on finding Kyrie, Kate, and the others in time going back to where he started back to the bridge downstairs. He cleans his face up from crying and was ready to stop Sanctus once and for all.

"Kate… Kyrie… I'm coming for you two. Hang in there, both of you."

To the elevator everything goes black for more Mephistos to show up to fight, but they weren't the only ones… Nero dodges their laser beam from their finger attack for another one comes crawling out through the floors, firing more and more laser for Nero to move away from fast for showing out of the shadows was a freaky looking ghost like name Faust or Faust's. Almost stabbing Nero, he grabs hold of the laser pointers in time to push aside to sighting them all. A lot like the Mephistos but much taller and white colored instead of red, with a freaky skull face, long white hair coming out, a black hat, wearing a black hooded coat all over, with a longer tail, and two long claws of the color red. So same old thing… Nero uses his arm to make the two Mephistos tiny to slam them to the ground, and then Faust from doing the same thing, slamming it down, and shooting at it was finally killed after that.

Nero leaves one elevator to solving a puzzle in the next one. But thanks to the 'time wrap' he manages to go through many laser shooting in his way being really slow to make his way to the wheel to turn and then falls down from the elevators to go forward; back at the Key Chambers to slowing down time again to make it out of the room and fighting more Angelos of both kinds to getting to the bridge now and across the next building. Without pressing the button this time. To the next room he was in using the time wrap to slow down time and space to get across the many lasers to go through, making there and soon the huge height fan room running for one fall will cut you. By going down he needs to be more demons like the Mephistos and Faust's to get the time wrap to unlocking it to slow down time to get to the other side up top. No problem for Nero to do.

"You're kidding me, right? Well, this should be fun."

From there Nero goes up one fan at a time without getting hurt from falling this it was slowing down. Soon going to the other door for who knows what will stop him, not for Nero to save some lives.

"I can do this. I can't stop for anything standing in my way!"

Elsewhere inside the building, Trish/Gloria appears out of nowhere with what looks like she pretends to capture Dante alive all tied up from the back and a bag over his head to follow her orders with the dagger sticking from his back to move. Soon lots of Angelos came out to help her out, or so it seems.

"Relax, boys. I got Dante alive for our Holiness. I'll bring it."

Before Trish could go anywhere, the Angelos point their swords out to stop her.

"Wow… Okay? Is there something I did wrong?"

They were going in for the kill for Dante to shoot one of them at the head to die for him to get rid of the bag and get himself untied.

"Well, so much for that part. The geezer found out who you really are."

"If that's said in done, at least we made it this far. Sorry, boys, I guess I'll just cut you out!"

Gloria begins to cut and dance-like her way through the many Bianco and Alto Angelos to stop 'with Dante backing her up a little' allowing him to go through since he senses Jason, Lady, the other knights, Kyrie, and Kate in grave danger from Sanctus, Ivy, and Agnus somewhere.

"Dante! Go on without me!"

"You sure!?"

Dante sees Trish/Gloria won't have any trouble catching up to him later on since she knows her way around the place also beating all the empty armor demons up.

"I got things from here. Now save the others, it'll soon start."

Dante gives Trish the peace out and takes off while fighting more Angelos out of his way.

"Catch you in a bit, Trish!"

Dante rushes to the room where he sense Nero was coming at real soon to wait for him. As well as remembering what he and Trish talked about back at the jungle from earlier. Another flashback…

"Okay, you are you. Start talking."

"If you say so. About the Holy Knights or the so called Order of the Sword… They're hiding something very big. This is why I gave Sanctus my sword and yours for a reason…"

"And what's that?"

Trish as Gloria crosses her legs for she liked to be a different person for fun but is serious in battle.

"After researching… I have found the missing women in the cellar with some of the other ral Holy Knights in danger. They'll be sacrifice to Sanctus monster."

Now Dante wanted to know a lot more from Trish.

"What type of monster of his?"

"It goes by the name The Savior. Once a deadly demon and enemy to Sparda for he stopped by sealing his fate but not destroying him, Sanctus became that demon from Savior's spirits doing to reawaken him. By using the Sword of Sparda will not only power him up but will also allow us to track him down in this building. But if he gets a hold of you and the Yamato, we are good as dead."

Dante laughs a little.

"Dead, huh? Okay, what else is new?"

"I sense Lady and Jason were also capture by them with the help of a demon Chimera plant-like female looks of a human being an enemy. Alpha Line's also gone missing somewhere trying to find Kate or one of us. Dante, this is also serious. He'll get you to use to become a God and savior to the people of Fortuna much better than Trevor did with Anima and that's not all I heard from Sanctus. Agnus… Because of him they'll use Credo's sister Kyrie as bait to get Nero and the Yamato to him o power up Savior, which would mean it'll be impossible then to destroy him or the statue itself. He also wants Kate as Kyrie's replacement as an Angel slave to have."

Once Trish tells him the whole details, Dante knew he had to go to save not only Nero with the Yamato to get back, but also Lady, Jason, Kyrie, all the missing women, the Holy Knights that are still human, and Kate for he could let his only love die not when he's around.

"You got to be kidding me!"

"I wish I wasn't…"

Dante gets up to get going.

"Let's go! We got some ass demon kicking to do-!"

Trish stops him to tie him up and shows Dante a bag to put over his head.

"Fine, let me just do this. Got to make it look real thinking Gloria has fought and captured Dante alive as promise."

"Alright, do it. But if it doesn't work since one of them might be on to you?"

Trish thought about that a while ago.

"Hmm… Guess we'll let ourselves in the hard way if we must."

Once that was set, Trish and Dante headed to the place allowing Dante to break open with his sword for them to get inside a while ago.

"You ready?"

"Let's do it. Lead me the way."

"Right, but remember, Dante, if we have to we'll split up on how far we get in."

"You got it."

End of flashback... Dante makes his way through in finding Kate and fast, as back with her being out cold in the other room lying on the bed and dreaming for what Kyrie's dream was like haunts her for she, Nero, Credo, Alpha Line, Jason, Lady, Trish, and Dante were in the hands of Sanctus, Agnus, Ivy, and other demons of the Holy Knights/ Order of the Sword. She soon images in her dreams of her singing while playing a guitar of Aimee-B 'Fallen Angel 'from Panty and Stocking Anime series'. And here is me singing the song the best I could on what Kate wouldn't sound like when singing from the other series. Awesome Anime and weird, huh? ^_^ watch?v=RJ9Q_QF0o3g

Kate (singing): Heaven, please sing for me a song of life
Heaven, take me into your skies
There's no place here for me to hide my cries
Night and day, I'm missing you (ooh)

I know I'm here for the magic
All your stars guiding me through and through
(Oh) why, this loneliness feel like... forever and ever
I gotta be, I gotta be, in your arms, baby

You're so close, so close
And it's you that I believe in, I believe in
So close, but faraway, so far I can't touch
I'll hold on
'Cuz it's you I love so dearly
When the rain, the storm, and all is done
Caress me with your sweet lullaby...

Heaven, please sing for me a song of life
Heaven, save me in my dreams tonight
Someday these wings will perish in your sight
Night and day, I call for you (ooh)

Flashes of moments of tragic
Wondering souls, they fall along the way
Tell me you will never leave me... forever and ever
I gotta be, I gotta be, in your arms, hear me

You're so close, so close
And it's you that I believe in, I believe in
So close, but faraway, I seek for your light
I'll hold on
'Cuz for you my heart keeps beating
When the wind, the fire, and all is gone
Caress me with your sweet lullaby...

Will you be my light
Will you be my strength
Promise you won't let me go...

I'll never betray
And in the end of time
Still my love's gonna be there...

You're so close, so close
And it's you that I believe in, I believe in
So close, but faraway, so far I can't touch
I'll hold on
'Cuz it's you I love so dearly
When the rain, the storm, and all is done
Caress me with your sweet lullaby...

You're so close, so close
And it's you that I believe in, I believe in
So close, but faraway, I seek for your light
I'll hold on
'Cuz for you my heart keeps beating
When the wind, the fire, and all is gone
Caress me with your sweet lullaby...

Kate was dreaming and wishing Dante was with her right now while singing. Soon waking up from the dream seeing she remembers Kyrie being taken away, Jason, Lady, and the other men were held as prisoners somewhere in the building, Nero was still alright, as well as Trish and Dante has made it to come to her real soon to be happy. For Kate gets out of the bed seeing herself wearing a black and red mix in bikini from her top and bottom 'for her butt being big', same with the cuffs on both of her arms, boots, and the collar being black and spikes sticking out around her neck with a long chain hanging down like a dog. For her to see in a mirror looked bad could get her weapons or her other clothes back, not even using her powers couldn't break free of the collar and felt very weak again. Why was that?

"Crap! Dad! Lady! Kyrie! They're in danger… And so are Nero and Dante!"

Kate couldn't get out through the door because of the chain holding her back.

"No! I can't be sick right now, not like this! Why do I feel this way!?"

That's when Sanctus comes in the room to be pleased to see Kate in person. Feeling afraid to fight back, but couldn't from her stomach she tries to out run him to be tucked back from the chains keeping her down.

"You're finally awake, my sweet, Kate. I take it you like the outfit which would suit you so."

Kate goes near the bed to use her beam-like light attacks, and still is not working so well to glow out of her hands.

"Stay back! I will strike at you, Sanctus!"

"How can you if you're ill?"

Sanctus sits next to Kate on the bed, trying to outrun to the window he stops her before she could even make a move.

"Please don't anything foolish. If you do, I'm afraid I can't promise you your dear Daddy and your friends' safety. Though for your friend Nero and Credo's sister… There could be some problems that none of us wish to happen."

Kate stops and sits on the bed allowing Sanctus to come up close to her and pats her face gently with his hands.

"That's a good girl."

"What do you want from me?"

"Nothing at all. I never dream to hurt my slave Angel who'll soon watch me succeed on my goal of becoming a God like Sparda."

"A God?"

Sanctus only smiles for Kate knows what she was remembering from three years ago.

"Is not like that foolish Trevor boy did, he only think about himself and not the sake of others. Died for a silly coast in the end. I learn so much about your father having a lovely daughter of a gift, your friends, and your boyfriend Dante. Since three years ago you both save the world, without you two I wouldn't get the hold of Yamato or the orb of Glena. I thank you for getting me this far of completion."

It made sense to Kate what happen to the sword and the leftover of Trevor's body.

"So it was you who stole them. And what makes you think I'm your slave!?"

"Oh, I just love to treat the women with kindness before I use them for power as stones. Not to you, my dear. An Angel by my side will see I can do better like Sparda has. Your mother would be proud to see what I have done, it's sad she's no longer around to witness it."

Kate was shock to hear Sanctus mention about her mother Ellia Jones/ Susan Star as well as Trevor as the fake Aeon many times lately.

"Wait… You know Trevor and my Mom?"

"Oh, we do go way back. I did save and train them after all before my whole life changed forever."

Kate was more worried about her friends, father, and Dante than what Sanctus was thinking about.

"I wouldn't worry about Dante; I'll be taking care of you. We'll have lots of fun. As for Nero, his destiny of power with both swords of Sparda will soon come for a dream come true. That includes another part into your life."

"Sicko! As if I'll become your slave! Dante and Nero will save me and we will stop you! So you better off killing me!"

Sanctus smiles knowing he enjoys having Kate with him as long as the collar's around her.

"But you will, my dear. I do want to follow my goal with some company. You'll grow to like me and the Holy Knight orders."

Kate sense her powers were working fine through her body, and felt something else within her that she doesn't get that Sanctus already knows.

"So why these clothes!?"

"It looks comfort than the old ones made you look like a true Angel, you should think Ivy for playing a good part. Agnus made such a lovely looking Chimera into a full grown woman. All played for a fool right where I wanted you to be."

Kate covers herself up for no use hiding her looks.

"No need to feel afraid. No demon in these buildings shall harm you while I'm around. We have so much to talk about."

"Listen, Sanctus, you can forget it. I'll never join you nor does anyone else like Kyrie, Nero, and Dante. Because part of me is staying!"

Sanctus laughs making Kate more confused.

"Sweet lovely, Kate, you still don't get it do you? You still have the power just sometimes making you a bit tiring for another being will soon be born. It shall be mine to care for and you as my slave to be."

Kate thinks back carefully between being sick, throwing up, half the times her powers are working, or other times it isn't. She soon begins to figure it out not wanting to know if it was true.

"What are you saying…?"

Sanctus places his hand on Kate's to break the special news to her.

"You are starting to get it? You a half breed Angel are caring a child. It is yours and Dante's soon to be mine."

Sanctus found out for Kate to be surprised and scared, for she felt her stomach with another being living in her for the past two months and growing for either her or Dante to know about, Kate Jones was pregnant. Of a half breed of human, angel, and demon within her that Sanctus will soon have. But will Dante get to her and Nero too? While saving her and Kyrie's life along with Credo joining in? Who is Savior? Will Trish get to Dante to aid him? Stop Sanctus, Agnus, and Ivy, as well as save the prisoners trapped from within the building? Why are the women of twelve turning to stones? What a twist this was getting am I right? Even Kate was speechless to believe in being pregnant was all too real.

"No… I'm… I'm… I'm pregnant…?"
