Well, here it finally is! The third entry in the Damian Redgrave series. I finally got round to working on it and posting it. Hope you are all happy and I will be doing this at a normal pace, I won't be rushing it or posting five chapters of it a day. I made that mistake with the last two stories.
Disclaimer: I do not own Devil May Cry or Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I only own the OC Damian Redgrave.
Walking down an empty street was a sixteen-year-old male teenager. The teen had short white hair in a faux-hawk like style, pale yet fair skin and silver eyes.
His attire consisted of a faded black, 3/4-length, hooded leather coat with red interior linings and the British Union flag sewn on the left arm, a gray tank top, black fingerless gloves, black faded jeans and black military boots.
This was Damian Redgrave, the demigod son of Artemis, Goddess of the Moon, and Dante the Devil Hunter and son of Sparda.
Turning down an alley, Damian went down a set of stairs, arriving at a door at the bottom and entered inside the now revealed bar. The bar was mostly empty, aside from the bartender and three of guys playing a game of poker.
Sitting at the bar, Damian clasped his hands in front of him.
"What'll it be?" Asked the bartender, cleaning a glass.
"Strawberry sundae." Drake answered, with the bartender chuckling as he turned to face him.
"This is a bar, kid, no place for someone like you." Stated the bartender.
"Really? Just trying to sweeten up the air in here, it smells like shit, or more like, blood. And that's fine with me." Said Damian, as the bartender stopped cleaning his glass.
"Cause what I'm interested in, is this rumor I heard. They say that somewhere around here, there's a bar, more like a dive, a place where they'll take someone's life in place of money. Kinda scary." Damian stated, looking over his shoulder when one of the players snickered
"Sorry, forgive me pal." Said the player.
"Royal straight flush, is it? Playing a hand like that could kill a guy." Said Damian, before looking forward, while reaching into his coat, while the player set down his cards and stood up.
"How about, I buy you a round!" He said, walking towards Drake, only to be met with the end of a black handgun pointed at him, before he was shot in the forehead.
The guy's body flew back with blood flying out of the bullet hole, but rather than dying, a monster seemed to burst out of his body and charge at Damian.
Ducking under the attack, Damian slid back, just as the other two players also transformed into monsters, as well. Pulling out a second handgun, being white in color, and shot the two monsters three times in their heads, reducing them to bloody paste.
Going to aim at the first monster, Damian gave a small grunt, when it suddenly lunged and bit his arm.
"Not bad, Mr. Royal Flush." Damian stated with a smirk.
Suddenly, a figure crashed through a skylight, shooting duel pistols at the first monster which caused it to release Damian who kicked it away. The girl landed next to Damian, revealing herself in the moonlight.
She was a gorgeous young woman the same age as Damian, with long raven black hair that fell past her shoulders, dark blue eyes, dressed in a padded grey top that was sleeveless with a black skirt that stopped a little above the knees and combat heeled boots that went up to her knees.
This was Silena Beauregard, daughter of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, and Damian's girlfriend.
Together, the couple aimed their guns and shot the demon dead. With the demons all dead, the couple holstered their guns. Walking up to the door, Damian paused for a moment, before summoning his sword, Judgement, and stabbing it through the door, with the bartenders body falling through the window not a moment later.
Pulling his sword out, Damian opened the door, stepping aside, as the boy fell to the ground.
"Next time you open up shop, don't forget to add strawberry sundae's to the menu." Damian said, walking up the stairs with Silena, who Damian put an arm around her waist.
However, before they reached the top of the stairs, another monster emerged from the bartenders body and lunged at them. Though before it could reach him. the couple spun around with their guns and aimed them at its head.
"Jackpot!" Damian and Silena said in sync, smirking as they pulled the trigger.
BANG!
It's been a while since the Sea of Monsters quest, and Damian had returned to Redgave City with Silena, who he introduced to his father, Dante. The meeting went as Damian hoped. His father took an immediate liking to Silena and asked her to take care of Damian and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid, which caused Damian to retort about the stupid things his dad has done, which led to a playful fight between them that Lady and Trish had to break up while Silena giggled at the sight, though happy she had been accepted by Damian's father.
Now all she had to do was survive meeting his mother, whenever that is.
Damian and Silena had been at Devil May Cry for a while, due to Damian wanting Silena trained to combat demons and Greek monsters, which Trish, Lady and even Dante agreed to do. Trish and Lady took a liking to Silena as well, making sure to tell her embarrassing stories about Damian as a child, much to his horror while Dante laughed in the background.
The training had been very helpful to Silena. Her running speed, her balance and her physical strength had more than doubled. She was taught hand-to-hand combat, and weapons combat. Dante told her that although the Greeks, for some reason, like the old ways of swords, bow and arrows, she had to learn how to handle guns since they were useful against demons, so Silena was taught how to hnalde duel handguns like Damian and Dante do.
Plus with all her training, she now had a body that would make goddesses envy. When it came to the women gender, Silena was now at the peak of women's fitness and health. And Silena loved to show off her now buxom and voluptuous body to her boyfriend when wearing revealing clothing like a tanktop and short shorts.
She truly was a daughter of Aphrodite.
And when it came to her archery skills, Silena could probably rival the experienced members of the Hunt since she just seemed to have taken to it like a fish in water.
Right now, Damian came out of the bathroom after taking a relaxing shower. He was entering his bedroom, wearing his trousers but had left his shirt off as he dried his hair with a towel. Silena was in his room, brushing her hair. She was dressed in a black tanktop and booty shorts.
"Hey babe." Damian greeted her as she looked over her shoulder, sending him a smile.
"Hi." She said, drinking in the view without shame. "So, today's job went well."
"Yep. Not bad for your tenth demon hunting job, by the way." Damian praised her.
"Stop it, you make me blush." Silena said with a smile.
"Hey, it's the truth sweetheart." Damian said, throwing the towel aside and plopping down on his bed with his hands behind the back of his head.
Silena glanced at him before she smirked and got up, climbed onto the bed and then straddled him, causing him to blink in surprise. Silena smirked at him before she leaned down and kissed him softly. Closing his eyes, Damian kissed her back, the two moaning softly as their hands slowly roamed each other's bodies, but their kiss got more heated as their tongues clashed.
Silena started to grind her hips a little, causing Damian to groan much to Silena's delight as she did it quicker. Damian growled as his hands drifted down and grabbed her ass cheeks while Silena's hands roamed her boyfriend's chest, which was comparable to Adonis. She then broke the kiss to sit up, grabbed the hem of her tanktop and lifted it over her head, throwing it off and revealing the black, lacy bra she had on underneath.
"Silena... we promised to wait." Damian reminded her. They didn't feel ready for sex, having only been dating a few months. They wanted to feel ready for it, not rush into it.
"I know, but it's fun to teas you. Besides, just because we can be half naked or fully naked, doesn't mean we're going to have sex right away." Silena giggled seductively. "There are... other things we can do."
"Which you can do when I'm not here." A familiar voice said, causing them to snap their attention to the door and see a smirking Dante.
"DAD!" Damian shouted as Silena got off, covering herself with her top. "Get out!"
"Hey, your door was wide open!" Dante retorted.
"JUST GET OUT ASSHOLE!" Damian threw the pillow at his father, blushing like any kid who got caught making out with a girl by their parents.
Dante chuckled and threw the pillow back before shutting the door, but not before shouting. "Just to tell you, Hestia's here!"
Damian and Silena blinked at that and shared looks.
A few minutes later, Damian and Silena, both dressed in appropriate clothing, went to the main room of Devil May Cry, where Dante was sitting at his chair, feet propped up on the desk, reading a magazine. Trish and Lady were out demon hunting, Nero had his own branch of Devil May Cry, and in the middle of the room stood Damian's Godmother, Hestia, Goddess of Family and the Hearth.
"Aunt Tia!" Damian ran and hugged his Godmother who chuckled as she hugged him back.
"It's good to see you again, Damian." She said before smiling at Silena. "And Silena, wonderful to see you again. You are still as beautiful as your mother, who is very proud of you."
Silena blushed but felt immense joy at finding out her mother was proud of her.
"Did you come here for a social visit or just to see the brat?" Dante asked with his usual grin. He was joking of course, he didn't mind Hestia coming. She did help out a lot when Artemis was pregnant with Damian.
Hestia smiled at him. "Ever the same, Dante. But I have come hear bearing some serious news." Her smile fell and she got serious, which made Damian, Silena and Dante serious. "Damian, Silena, your friends Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace and Grover Underwood were sent to retrieve two demigods in Maine. I have a feeling things are not going to go as planned due to a bit of information I required and I think it would be best that if you both return and join them in Maine."
Damian and Silena nodded. "We have been away for a while." The daughter of Aphrodite pointed out.
"Guess it's time we go say hello to everyone." Damian said with a smirk.
"Who are you people and what is that?" A tanned girl with long black hair and a scruffy green hat called out as she stood in front of her little brother, who looked physically similar to her, as Percy and Annabeth stood in front of them with Percy having Riptide drawn out and Annabeth with her two bronze knifes in her hands.
From behind the tanned girl, the younger boy looks in wonder at the figure in front of them. "It's a Manticore. He's got three thousand attack power and plus five to saving throws!"
The two demigods looked at him in confusion while the girl face palmed.
"Nico, this is not the time for your card game."
"But Bianca it's just like my game." He said before everyone heard a war cry and saw Thalia engage the monster in front of them as she charged at it with her spear and shield activated.
The monster in front of them look like a lion's body and had a long, scorpion-like tail with small scales on its back which acted like armored plating. Its face meanwhile looked aged like a man in his early forties with a bit of grey hair on his head.
Thalia jabbed at his head, but he snarled and swatted the spear aside. Its claws raked against the side of her shield Aegis and sparks shot off from the claws meeting metal.
Grover was off to the side trying not to panic and was using his wild magic to create weeds to tangle the Manticores feet but it was doing little success as the Manticore easily ripped them away.
"You will have to better then that little demi god." The Manticore, Dr. Thorne said as he pushed Thalia way and into the snow covered grass.
Percy and Annabeth looked ready to get involved and were about to go forward but from behind them the sound of a helicopter appeared making them both turn around and go a little wide eyed.
The helicopter was fully decked out with machine guns on the side and from beneath the helicopter a large search light was attached. The search lights turned on and shot towards the small fight between Thalia and Dr. Thorne.
The searchlights blinded Thalia, and the Manticore swatted her away with its tail. Her shield flew off into the snow. Her spear flew in the other direction.
"No!" Percy said as he ran out to help her. He parried away a spike just before it would've hit her chest.
Dr. Thorn laughed. "Now do you see how hopeless it is? Yield, little heroes and perhaps I will spare you if I feel merciful."
The group were trapped between a monster and a fully armed helicopter and they realized that they had no chance. Two Cyclops also appeared behind Dr. Thorn makings things even worse than before.
Then when the group thought things were over and Bianca and Nico hugged each other tightly, they heard a clear, piercing sound: the call of a hunting horn blowing in the woods.
Percy looks around to see where it came from but noticed that Dr. Thorn had a panicked look on his face before it contorted into a look of annoyance. His head then turned and faced the forest to their side.
When he did, so did the others while Thalia scowled a little, obviously knowing who was coming. From out of the forest multiple figured dressed in silver parka jackets all equipped with bow and quivers came out.
When Percy got a good look he noticed all of the figures coming out of the woods were girls, all varying from the age of ten and sixteen all wearing the same clothes and all with the same hateful and steeled looks on their faces.
"Great, just what we needed." Thalia muttered as Percy look at her.
"You know them?"
She nodded. "The Hunters of Artemis, the ones led by Artemis, Damian's mother."
As she spoke, a silver arrow flew through the air and hit Dr. Thorn right in the shoulder making him take a few steps back and let out a curse of pain. He then grabbed the arrow and yanked it out.
One of the older archers stepped forward with her bow drawn. She was tall and graceful with coppery colored skin. Unlike the other girls, Percy noticed she had a silver circlet braided into the top of her long dark hair, so she looked like some kind of Persian princess.
"Permission to kill, my lady?" She asked as Artemis strolled out very relaxed in her twelve year old form. She looked towards the Manticore and tsked in disdain.
"My, my to what do I owe the pleasure of meeting with Olympus's girls scouts. Here to sell me cookies are you?" Dr. Thorn asked as all the girls glared at the hunters and when some of them shouted curse words at him, he just laughed.
"I am here to hunt monsters, something you clearly are Manticore." She said coolly before she looked at Helicopter and waved her hand in front of it. It disappeared into a flock of birds and all flew away.
She then nodded to Zoe who stood next to her. "Permission granted, Zoe."
"I would not be too sure just yet." He said tauntingly before his long tail suddenly wrapped around Thalia and held her in the air in front of him.
"THALIA!" Annabeth called out as Percy grabbed her from getting to close.
However, all went silent when they heard what sounded like a motorcycle getting closr and closer.
"What is-" Thorn started to ask.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Three gunshots went off, striking Thorn in the right places that made him drop Thalia who kicked him back just in for a motorcycle to slam into the manticore, knocking him down. The motorcycle sounded and looked demonic as it's wheels were on fire and had a skull on the front of it. (AN: For better descriptions, it's the 2007 Ghost Rider motorcycle)
The motorcycle came to a halt and two people got off. When they saw who it was, the demigods felt happy and glad while Artemis' eyes widened and she felt happiness and shock.
Damian and Silena stood proudly with serious looks on their faces, arms crossed as the stared at the Manticore.
"It's you..." Thorn said as he looked at Damian, who raised an eyebrow. "The infamous son of Artemis, slayed of the Kraken."
"So you've heard of mine, that's nice." Damian said sarcastically as he glanced at Silena before they both suddenly whipped out one of their guns and fired in sync, striking Thorn who turned into golden dust right away.
"Wow, I expected a bit more of a fight." Silena commented as she holstered her gun.
"Meh, I doubt he was that big of a challenge." Damian said with a shrug as he twirled the gun on his finger before seeing everyone looking at them in shock.
"Sup everyone?"
Hope you all enjoyed this for an opening to the third story in the series.
