Aiiiyaa!! No reviews!! No reviews!! Where did you all go?! *Looks in DMC desk draws* Hello? Reviewers? *Looks in back room* Hello?! Hey Dante!

Dante: *Closes trench coat* Hey, your reviewers ain't in here.

What did you do to them?!

Dante: Nothin'!!

Oy. Oh well. I'll just write another chapter.

Dante held Sparda tightly.

" Lola, stay behind me." He said.

Lola huddled in the corner.

" There is no escape." The giant said.

Dante ducked under a slash attack from one of it's many arms.

" Always an escape." He said.

Lola watched Dante fight against the giant marionette monster. She could hear the clang of the blades and sparks of their clash. She watched them get their own hits in. Then she saw Dante go total devil. He grabbed the giant and slammed him into the ceiling above them. Parts fell from it as it made impact. Dante calmed down a little bit. He shot at the giant while the creature was falling. He was firing rapidly to knock more pieces off. Soon they were all scattered on the floor. Dante twirled Ebony and Ivory on his fingers and put them into their holsters in one swift motion. He turned his back and faced Lola. But he wasn't really looking at her, but waiting.

" Dante, they're moving." Lola said.

" I know." He said putting on his gauntlets.

As the pieces were getting up and hobbling over to him, he was counting down until he would attack.

" Lola." He said.

" Huh?" She asked.

He tossed her his coat.

" Put this over you and don't move." He said.

" Uh, okay." She said.

Dante looked over to the parts.

" Goodbye. Inferno!!!" Dante cried slamming his fist into the ground.

All the pieces burned. He could hear Lola crying out from the intense heat. Then it was over. But Dante didn't see a arm with a blade that was half alive.

" What the-Ah!" He cried as he tried to avoid the shot and got cut on his arm.

Dante sent into the wall with a hard punch, where it smoldered and died.

" Maybe that wasn't the best idea I ever had." He said gripping his arm.

" Are you alright Dante?" Lola asked giving back his jacket.

" It'll be fine." He grunted putting it on.

Then a steady stream of water fell on his head.

" What n-Aw man!" He said.

" What?" Lola asked.

" My fire caused a hole in the ceiling. The floor above us was filling with water. Now the floor we are in, is draining it." He said.

" Should I be worried now, or later?" She asked.

" It's too small to do any damage. We'll be long gone by the time it gets,"

The small leak turned into a gashing hole.

" Dangerous." Dante finished.

So there they sat in ankle deep water. Lola could feel the demons gathering on the outside and was cold from the water. Dante had given her his jacket in an effort to get her warm. But she still shivered as she leaned against him. Dante wondered why his arm wasn't healing, but bleeding more. He held Lola closer to him to try and let her survive.

" D-Dante?" She asked.

" Yeah?" He asked.

" Are-Are we gonna die?" She asked.

" I can't answer that Lola." He said.

" Ok-kay." She said.

" Because you're not gonna die. But, at the rate things are going, I might." He said standing up.

" Dante," She started.

He could hear Trish fighting the demons outside.

" You're getting out of here." He said.

" But Dante," She started.

" No buts little girl. You're getting out of here." He said.

He raised Sparda in the air. He was going to cut a way out for them.

" You can't fight those things off by yourself!" Lola protested.

" I'll be fine. Trish!!! You out there!!" He yelled.

" Yeah!! Are you two okay?!!" She yelled back.

" Never mind!! We're getting out of here!!" He yelled back.

" Alright!! I'm making a path!!" She yelled again.

Dante forced his energy to build up and transformed into a total devil. He grabbed Lola and crashed through the door.

There were at least 200 marionettes out there. He could see Trish fighting on the ground. She saw him too and got a hold of him when he came by. They were flying towards the exit when Dante's power gave out. They all fell.

" Oww!!" Lola cried hitting the ground.

" Sorry." Dante said.

" You call that a landing?" Trish said.

They stood up. They were only 50ft. from the entrance Trish said she came in through. Dante's arm was starting to heal finally, but taking its sweet time. They slowly made their way to the door. Then Dante stopped. He pulled Sparda from its resting place on his back.

" What's up Dante?" Lola asked.

" Listen Trish, I want you to take Lola out of here and don't come back." He said looking behind him, but not turning around.

" But Dante," She started.

" I understand." She said.

" Hey!! Wait a minute kuso it!! I'm not leaving you!!" Lola yelled.

" Babe, you don't have a choice." He said.

" I do so!! I'm not leaving you!! I'm not leaving you!!" She yelled pounding on his chest.

It didn't really hurt him. But he let Lola tire herself out.

" Why do you have to go?" She asked.

" I'm sorry kid. But I have to do this. No one else can beat him but me. You have to get outta here." He said.

" Kusottare Dante Sparda. I love you." She said.

" I know." He said.

She gritted her teeth and pulled away from him.

Hey, waita minute." He said.

He pulled her back to him and kissed her. Tears streamed down Lola's face. Dante pulled away.

" Now you can leave. And take care of my shop for me." He said.

She nodded and followed Trish. After they had left, Dante could hear metal clanging down towards him. He turned and faced a gold-clad Nero Angelo.

" Where is she?" He asked.

" Gone. And you'll never see her again." Dante said.

" Neither will you." Mundus said pulling his gold-clad sword.

Oh no!! She did it again!!

Yes I have made another cliffhanger!! And yes Rocker Baby, I am Evil!!!! *Insane laughing followed by coughing* I'll be fine.

Dante: You were never fine to begin with.

I ignore you. But anyway, this isn't the end. There are at least 2 more chapters. They come later. Until then, enjoy the cliffhangering, or something. * Insane laughter again, followed by more coughing* I'm fine, I'm cool, I'm good.
