Chapter Two: Demon Hunter meets Demon Hunters
Dante relaxing his feet on top of his desk, he stretched out his arms then placed them at the back of his head. He yawned quite rudely as he balanced his chair backwards. The phone rang. Quickly Dante took out his index finger beneath the phone handle then tossed it in the air and caught it with his other hand. "Devil may cry. Uh, sorry but you got the wrong number." Dante returned the handle to its rightful place and leaned backwards, "No password. After defeating Mundus there seems nothing else to do." He looked up on the roof and he got lost in thought. "Trish. When will you come back?"
A violent wind blew the door open. Dante leaped off his chair alerted. The very first thing he saw right before his eyes-is a hooded man. Dante took several steps backwards and was about to draw Ebony and Ivory when the hooded man reached out his hand, "Son of the Legendary Knight Sparda- Dante." "The one and only" Dante said as he stood straight but still alert. The hooded man spoke in a deep but calm tone, "The 'Council of Eight' wishes to have a word with you."
Dante crossed his arms as he brushed his chin looking interested. "So, the Council themselves wants to talk to me eh?" he chuckled, "They must have heard how I defeated Mundus." He laughed for a while then looked serious all of the sudden, "What's this about?"
"I give you my apologies for that question's answer I do not know." The hooded man said. "Well I wasn't looking for you apologies. Where are they now?" Dante said
"The nearest harbor from here." The hooded man said as vanished in the shadows.
Dante rode his motorcycle fast heading to the harbor.
The night was indeed cold but to him it's nothing. Most people are now asleep except some bums lying near the shore. Unknowing that lesser demons are spying at them. The demons are slowly approaching the bums when suddenly a loud roar of a motorcycle scared them away. A cloaked man appeared behind Dante-telling him to follow. Dante followed him quietly as they entered an abandoned warehouse.
The warehouse was dark and cold. Neon colored lights flashed all around which can irritate the eyes. But this didn't affect Dante as he walked forward without any hesitation. The lights turned off and again came into darkness. Moments later a bright light opened above Dante. And in that light there are eight men shrouded in shadows.
"Dante-"
"Son the Legendary Knight-"
"Sparda-"
"A pleasure-"
"To have you here-"
"Yes indeed-"
"Very much indeed-"
"Now, onto business."
Dante scratched his head, "Can you guys uh, talk one at a time in complete sentence? It's kinda hard to keep up somehow."
"We heard your recent encounter with Mundus."
"And we wish that you lend us your cooperation"
"Into what we are about to say."
"Seems like you guys want to hire me." Dante said
"Indeed"
"One of the Sin Lords is free from their eternal prison."
"We want you to prevent this and seal the one that is on loose right now."
Dante placed his arms into the sides of his waists as he slowly walked left and right. "So, you guys are hiring me to stop the Sin Lords. Heh--sounds like child's play."
"The Sin Lords are not to be taken lightly. They are far more powerful than Mundus himself."
"More powerful than Mundus huh? Fine, I'll do it. But where do I start?" Dante said
"You are to work with the Zero Access."
Dante took a gasp, "Zero Access?! You have to be kidding me." He laughed, "I don't work with rookies."
The Council disappeared and a man with red hair appeared. "And we don't work with demons."
"You'll just get in the way." Dante said.
"No we won't. If you have claimed that we are rookies then you have greatly underestimated us son of Sparda." He said in a sarcastic tone.
Dante chuckled, "Is it necessary for us to team up?"
"It is the council's order. Now let me introduce ourselves. I am Kyle, Second Leader of Zero Access the First Division of the Shadow Guild."
Kyle pointed out several people that will be assisting him of him assisting them. Duke, a tall bald man with large muscles and a well lined beard. Carla is a beautiful woman, long dark hair covering her entire back and has a very slender body. Raven, laid back spiked hair, he's tall and skinny and as seen in his face that he always jokes around. And Damien who looks exactly like Dante only younger and wears a black trench coat instead of red.
Kyle announced that the Seekers, people who can detect certain demons have found someone they are looking for. "It's Jeremiah." He said, "Jeremiah at the downtown Museum."
"Who's Jeremiah?" Dante asked.
Damien answered, "Just someone who owes every single one of us something valuable. Like our faith."
"Faith huh." Dante said as he ran to his motorcycle moving ahead of the others.
Dante relaxing his feet on top of his desk, he stretched out his arms then placed them at the back of his head. He yawned quite rudely as he balanced his chair backwards. The phone rang.
