Chapter 6- Powers Awaken
Heavy footfalls could be heard coming up the stairs and they didn't sound human. Trish glanced up toward the open door, still holding Gabriel in her arms, he was still sobbing. She peered over his shoulder and stared intently at the door. In an instant, the Nelo Angelo appeared in the threshold of the door. He already had a huge fireball formed in his hand.
The Nelo looked Trish in the eyes, smirked at her and quickly released the fireball. Trish quickly pushed Gabriel out of the way, dropping him to the ground. Before she could counter attack, the fireball contacted with her right shoulder, sending her flying into the opposite wall of the room.
"Trish!" Gabriel called out. He quickly got to his feet and grabbed Sparda. Sparda illuminated a bright red in Gabriel's hand. The eerie red glow spread from Gabriel's fingertips to all over his body, even his boots were glowing red with the light.
The Nelo was charging another fireball while Gabriel looked at himself in awe. Just as he released the fireball, Gabriel swung Sparda and deflected the fireball. Shooting it back at the Nelo. The Nelo screamed out in pain and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Gabriel walked over to see if the Nelo was gone and on inspection only found a pile of charred remains.
Gabriel quickly ran back to Trish, dropping Sparda to the ground in the process. The intense red glow had vanished from Gabriel's body but a light red hue remained. Then in an instant, it was gone and he was back to normal. He knelt down beside her. "Trish are you all right?" He asked her, gently placing his hand on her uninjured shoulder.
Trish slowly opened her eyes. "I'm okay." She said softly. She tried to sit up and groaned in pain.
"Here let me help you." Gabriel helped her off the floor and onto her feet. He guided her to the couch and she sat down. She was unscathed except for a nasty burn on her shoulder. Gabriel walked over to the closet, found a black shirt and ripped it. He walked back to Trish, sat down beside her and bandaged up her burn. "So it won't get infected." He told her.
"Thanks Gabriel." Trish said gratefully, smiling.
"No problem Trish." He smiled back.
"You know those moves you just pulled right now reminded me so much of your father. He would be so proud seeing how you handled Sparda."
"I hope we find him." He replied. "Wait! How did you see me fight I thought you were knocked out."
"Looks can be deceiving." Her smile widened. "Don't worry kid, I told you we'd find him and we will. Now let's get out of here before another surprise pops up." Trish got up and Gabriel followed her.
"Wait Trish, I have a question. How did I go all glowy when I handled Sparda?" He asked her.
She turned to look at him, her expression very serious. "I would have preferred for your father to tell you this, but here goes." She sighed deeply. "It reacted to the demon DNA in you."
"Um , did you say demon DNA?" He gasped.
"Yes, I did. Your father is part demon, part human." She replied.
"Well after what I just saw, I'm willing to believe anything, even the fact that you just told me I have demon DNA." He said.
Trish turned back to the table and she grabbed her coat off the table. She kneeled down and picked up Sparda off the floor.
"Here Gabriel this is yours." Trish handed Sparda to him.
"No," he put his hand in a stop gesture. "My father gave it to you. You should keep it." Before she could protest, he added. "Please, I prefer it to be this way."
Trish reluctantly sheathed Sparda behind her back. They had barely walked out of the room when Trish stopped abruptly, causing Gabriel to run in too her. "How could I forget?" She exclaimed.
"What's wrong?" Gabriel asked her.
"Your father has a secret room, well more of a compartment, behind a bookshelf in his bedroom. He keeps some weapons there." She told him. Trish led the way to Dante's bedroom. They stood in front of the bookcase, filled with the books of many well-known authors.
Gabriel's eyes ran over the titles of the books and they stopped on Faust. "That's my favorite book." He told Trish in awe. Apparently, Gabriel and his father shared the same interest in books.
"Really? I believe these books belonged to your mother." She reached for certain books to find the switch to reveal the room. When she pulled on Faust, a click was heard and the bookshelf opened to reveal the compartment behind it. "The only thing your father loved to read was pornographic magazines." She joked and laughed.
"You're kidding, right?" He asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"No I'm not, but at least now you know where your taste in literature comes from. You can be positive it doesn't come from your father's side." She laughed and Gabriel joined in. "Your father is one of a kind."
"It sure seems like it." He replied in a bittersweet tone. It would have been so cool to be raised by him, he thought.
Trish reached into the secret compartment and began to pull out Dante's weapons. "Here are your weapons." She handed him a sword, Alastor , the gauntlets Ifrit and two huge hand guns by the names of Ivory and Ebony.
Gabriel looked at the weapons and took off his long trench coat. He placed the guns in a holster, securing it over his shoulders. He could feel the cool steel against the vest he wore. Then he put his coat back on and slid the gauntlets on his arms. He picked up Alastor and gave it a quick twirl before he sheathed it to his back. "Don't you think all these weapons are kind of excessive?"
"Not if you're heading where we are." She replied seriously.
"Where are we going?" Gabriel asked her.
"To the underworld. That's probably where your father is being held." She replied in the same serious tone as before.
"Trish before we go can I ask you something?" His tone was deadly serious.
"Sure anything?" She replied.
"How good do I look in this outfit?" He stood in front of the mirror and puffed out his chest. He did a little pose for her. "Do I have style or what?" He smiled still showing off.
Trish rolled her eyes in annoyance. "You are Dante's son, no doubt about it. Come on lets go." She grabbed onto his arms, dragging him away from the mirror and out of the room. Gabriel allowed her to drag him around by the arm. Gabriel didn't know where he's new attitude was coming from but he liked it.
