Chapter 4: Sins of a brother
Dante and Crystal stood face to face with the knight, preparing to destroy him if he attempted to attack.
"You wouldn't think of killing your own brother, now would you Dante?" The knight hissed.
"Virgil? But, I killed you, you're dead." Dante said in disbelief.
"Its true you killed me, but when the ruler of the demon world died, he brought me back to life with Bolverk's essence in order to rule the fourth part of the demon world." Virgil explained.
Dante was in shock. He was facing his dead brother who he killed years ago. Now he was fighting him again and this time, he had a partner with him to defeat Virgil.
"I will destroy you just like I did before." Dante said.
"Brother, you are so foolish, you brought me the girl who is required for the ritual to give me the power of Bolverk, the warrior who once fought against our father......Accept your fates that hang in the balance." Virgil said with a dark and sinister laugh as he stared into Crystal's ocean blue eyes.
Dante prepared to slash at Virgil, but he dodged it and he kicked Dante over and he fell to the ground and his brother literally kicked him while he was down.
"Its time to end your life Dante." Virgil said as he raised his sword up and prepared to impale Dante, but then the sound of a gun firing was heard and Virgil fell to the ground, gripping his wound and he saw Crystal holding a silver pistol with smoke coming out of it.
"Sorry Virgil, but you won't be killing Dante today." Crystal said as she pushed her black hair away from her shoulder. Virgil staggered up, gripping his wound.
"This is only the beginning, you're next Crystal." Virgil said as he disappeared out of thin air.
Dante got up and they went to help and aid Griffon. He was injured badly from the fight and he was bleeding.
"Dante, Crystal, listen carefully about what I am going to explain to you. Virgil is trying to become a high class demon by performing a satanic ritual. In order to fulfill this ritual, he needs to control the four parts of the demon world and he will use your blood Crystal if he captures you." Griffon explained.
"My blood? But why the hell does he need it anyway? He could just take some other blood to use it." Crystal said.
"You were once a demon, but you eventually died and you were reincarnated as a hybrid. That is why he wants your blood. Now both of you must go to the fire realm where my brother, Phantom rules there........I won't be able to stay alive any longer." Griffon explained and with that, he died.
Crystal was angry now, Virgil had killed another demon who ruled another part of the demon world for his own selfish purposes.
"He is going to pay for what he has done.....that bastard!" Crystal cursed.
"There's still time kid, we have to get to the fire realm before Virgil strikes again and it won't be easy." Dante said.
Crystal got up and dusted off her jeans and looked at Dante.
"You're right, there is no reason for us to be mourning at a time like this. Now let's get to that fire realm."
Dante smiled and they both exited the forest and headed off to the realm of fire.
To be continued.
A/N: Boy, that was surprising, wasn't it? Well, there will be more chapters coming up. So in the wise warning of Shinji Mikami: "Don't pee your pants." (Yes he did say that at E3 and he showed the audience what video games made by Capcom were going to be on the Gamecube in case you missed it)
