Chapter 1: The Upcoming Mission

The darkness of night was not silent, endless rain drops fell from the sky, seeming to never end. A group of three demons were walking the streets. The larger demon walked silently behind a woman that was trying to shield himself from the rain. Not knowing much of the human world, the demon jumped 5 feet in the air, coming back down onto the woman.

"Where is the son of Sparda?" The demon hissed.

"I know nothing of a son of Sparda" said the woman, in near shock.

"Your lying!" screamed the Demon.

At that moment, a shot was fired, leaving a hole in the demons chest. Still hissing, three more shots were fired into it. The demon fell leaving trails of demonic blood all over the victim. As the demon fell, and man cloaked in red, holding two pistols, was visible.

"You saved my ..my life" Said the woman, trying to catch her breath.

"How can I repay you?" continued the woman, finally calming down a bit.

The man lifted his head up, showing him to be Dante

"..Another life saved, another demon slain, another days work"

The woman got up, nodded to Dante, and walked off

Dante turned around, and headed off ...only to be stopped by another one of those demons in his path.

"Son of Sparda ...so predictable, we attack an innocent, here you come to save and kill"

"Out of my way" Dante said while raising Ebony to the [alone] demon.

Evil snickering in the dark begins, behind Dante. He looks to see while the demon in front tackles him, they wrestle around while Dante knocks it off of him. Then the other (snickering) demon jumped him from behind, removing his sword and forcing him to the ground using Dante's sword against him. Dante successfully knocks that demon off of him too, while stopping them in their tracks at gunpoint.

"These demons must have been specially trained in the underworld, but why waste their talents on humans" Dante thought to himself

Dante Fired the guns, having no mercy, blowing the demons back motionless. Dante checked both the bodies, and walked off into the shadows.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Devil May Cry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dante walked through the door of Devil May Cry, and took a seat behind his desk, next to an answering machine. Dante pressed a button, and heard an electronic voice say

"You have 2 new messages"

The first message played.

"Dante that booked you checked out from this library was due back 3 months ago! The book is "Ancient Castle Structure" try and have it back within this month please"

Dante sighed, knowing he lossed the book.

The second message played.

"Dante, I was walking down the street, and I was stopped by a demon who nearly killed me asking where the son of Sparda was, naturally I didn't say anything, then I killed HIM. Anyways, obviously these demons are looking for you for some reason, so be carefull"

"That was Trish..."

"She's right though, these demons are after me for some reason"

"Could it be because of Mundus' defeat?"

"...buisness as usual, if they want me, they'll have to work for it" He thought to himself, while grabbing a drink from the fridge.

The door to Devil May Cry, was then blown down, with fire all around the place.

"Hey, doors are not cheap!"

After the fire cleared up, a 8 foot tall demon, covered in flames was standing there. Dante pointed both Ebony and Ivory at the flaming creature, and fired two bullets, to see where it left him.

"...Son of Sparda, surely you should know, mere bullets cannot penetrate a Pyrinial!" The demon said while laughing



Dante sighed, seeing the bullets bounced right off the demons thick flaming skin. He then looked back at his desk, seeing his bottle of water sitting there. Dante ran and jumped behind the desk catching the bottle of water, while gripping it tightly, he looked up, and hurled the bottle at the demon's chest causing it to burst water all over him, temporarily putting out the flames. He then jabbed his sword through the soaked part of the demon's chest, successfully puting it through him.

"Son of Sparda, you will not live through this one!" the demon yelled, while flames drafted out of his mouth.

Dante twisted the sword, envoking more pain for the demon, while he rose Ivory to it's head.

"Correction, you won't live through this" Dante said while firing a shot

The demon fell to ashes, leaving a huge mess of destruction and fire. Dante sighed, while taking the fire-extinguisher, to put out some of the flames. After that, he walked out of the burning Devil May Cry and yelled

"You want me devils!? ..You have to work for it!"
