The forest of the damned

A/N: This is the 2nd chapter to my story. Bosses from Devil May Cry 1 and 2 will appear in this chapter, only they will be in their human forms.

Dante and Crystal still continued to walk through the forest. Endless screams were heard throughout the woods, meaning that a demon trying to disguise itself as a helpless human could be around.

"Well, it looks like we'll be safe for a little bit." Dante said.

"I sure hope so." Crystal said. "By the way Dante, what are you going to do when you get out of the demon world?"

Dante looked back at Crystal; "I'm just going to carry the remains of the demon king and use them as a trophy when I get back to the human world."

"I just want to get back home with my family and friends, I miss them?" Crystal said as a tear fell from her eye.

Dante got to Crystal's height and wiped the tear away from her eye; "Don't worry Crystal, you'll get back home, but just remember, devils never cry."

Crystal wiped her blue eyes with her sleeve and looked back at Dante; Thanks-" She was cut off from what she said when a group of Goatlings and Agononifis (Is that how it's spelled?) appeared in front of them.

"I'll take the left side; you take the right side." Dante said as he unsheathed his sword and Devil Triggered, Crystal did the same.

Crystal impaled the Goatling on the left square in the stomach and ended up grabbing one of the Agononifis and slammed the caged demon on the ground, its skeleton shattered to several pieces. Dante quickly slashed apart three of the Goatlings and fired at another Agononifis.

"This is too easy." Crystal said, then a Goatling punched Crystal in the stomach and she ended up hitting a tree and she fell to the ground unconscious as her human form.

Dante, seeing this quickly killed the attacker and snatched up her sword and Crystal and quickly ran away from the angry mob of Goatling and Agononifis.

"They're gaining up on me; I've got to find shelter or else." Dante said. Then a giant bird appeared to stop the demons from going any further. The bird had a wingspan that would impress a jet fighter and it had brown feathers. The demon then fired a blood red ball of lightning at the demon mob, causing them to explode into flames, the demon then extinguished the flames with his giant wings so that the forest would not catch on fire.

Dante saw the demon as he changed into a man that looked like he knew everything. he had black hair and he wore glasses and he was dressed in brown and tan robs.

"You're safe for now son of Sparda, I'll take care of the girl." He said.

"Who are you and who's side are you on?" Dante asked, in a I'm-not-going-to-trust-this-bastard voice.

"I'm not your enemy, I am Griffon, a protector of this forest and these demons won't hurt you as long as I'm with you." Griffon said.

"Very well then Master Splinter." Dante said sarcastically.

"Now let's get inside, some demons have a very low intelligence and they will attack if they have to." Griffon said as he took Dante and Crystal into his cabin.

To Be Continued
