Venturing Further into the Castle
Dante had just finished explaining to Trish the part about Xeefa and the artifact. Now he would proceed to telling Trish about the answers he was seeking himself after Xeefa had talked to him in his head the second time. The blonde devil would now know the answers Dante wanted before the small light went inside him.
"So there was this devil-knight called Nasgarth. And only one other devil- knight was stronger than him" Dante explained.
"Sparda" Trish guessed.
"Correct," Dante answered, "Nasgarth wanted the artifact I'm seeking. The medallion of wishes. It was just an ordinary medallion in heaven, but when it dropped in the human world it gained different qualities over the years."
"That usually happens" Trish agreed.
"Anyways, the medallion gained the powers to grant one wish to the person that gave the password" the silver-haired man told his partner.
"And the password is?" Trish asked anxiously.
"Mundus" Dante replied.
There was silence afterwards. It had been five years since that name was said by Dante or Trish. None of them wanted to remember that horrible battle against the devil emperor. They never talked about him ever since Trish became Dante's partner in demon slaying. After a short term of silence, Dante continued to explain.
"So Nasgarth discovered the medallion when he was in the human world one day. But when God found out, it was already too late. Nasgarth used the medallion to gain immortality, and he kept the medallion. Then he found this old castle and called it the castle of Nasgarth" he informed.
"But didn't God do something about it?" Trish questioned.
"Yes," Dante stated, "he or she sent a small army of angels to get the medallion. When the angels took it, Nasgarth fought them and accidentally broke the medallion in half. And Xeefa was one of the angels in that army and she was the only survivor. She managed to take half of the medallion back to heaven."
"And Nasgarth kept the other half right?" Trish asked.
"Yes, and he keeps that half here in this castle. He tried to take over the human world, but my father always stopped him. He eventually gave up. Not even immortality was enough to help him take over the human world" Dante said.
"So now he just lives in this old Irish castle?" Trish asked her half-demon partner.
"Yes. And now that I wanted to kill all demons, God sent Xeefa back to this world to tell me about this medallion. So she used that little round light I told you about. It seems it was some sort of 'explanation light', it just inserted all the answers into my brain, just like a document is saved in a computer" Dante finished.
"Oh, so what are we waiting for? Let's go find the other half of the medallion!" Trish cried excitedly.
Dante just simply nodded and slowly walked towards a door. He opened it revealing a big set of staircases. Dante and Trish went up the staircases and walked into a big arena-like stadium. They were surrounded by demons. Those demons called 'Nobodies' were all over the dusty old stadium.
"It seems Nasgarth is aware of our presence" Trish said while looking at the amount of demons.
"He always was. That's why Xeefa was in such a hurry to get me here, she knew Nasgarth knew about God's plans" Dante said.
One of the Nobodies leaped towards Trish. She took out the Sparda sword and slashed the demon in half. Both halves of the monster slowly died and stopped moving. Dante chuckled and got a little excited as he saw a Nobody leap towards him.
"Let's do what we do best!" Dante exclaimed.
He swiftly slashed the demon in half just like Trish had done with his Alastor. He put Alastor on his back again and looked around at all the demons. He pulled out his guns, Ebony and Ivory, and shot all the creatures he could spot like there was no tomorrow. Trish fought the demons fiercely too. She ran up the walls and jumped slashing five Nobodies in mid-air with her Sparda. Dante saw Trish doing some sweet moves in the air. That was what he loved most—mid-air attacks. He felt a rush of adrenaline in his blood as he saw the blood of demons spill everywhere around the arena. He was so excited, he couldn't help it. He screamed out his favorite phrase.
"Let's rock baby!!!!!!" he cried out.
He continued to shoot until he spotted a sneaky Nobody jumping way too high in the air. 'Sneaky bastard' Dante thought as he jumped high to reach the demon's level. He holstered his guns and took out Alastor once again and slashed the evil creature while spinning in mid-air wonderfully. When he landed, he saw Trish kill the last demon left with through the corner of his eye.
"That was easy" Trish mocked the dead monsters.
"It sure was" Dante agreed chuckling.
"Now where do we go?" Trish asked looking around for an exit.
"I saw an exit somewhere on the roof. It was a part made out of glass so we just need to break it and jump through the hole" Dante told the devil clone of his mother.
He looked around until he spotted the glass part of the roof he was talking about. He pointed at it and Trish looked at it too. Dante took out Ivory and threw it at Trish. Using her fast reflexes, Trish grabbed the gun while still looking at the roof.
"Do the honors" Dante told her sarcastically.
Trish faked a laugh and pointed at the glass roof. She fired the gun and hit the jackpot. It broke and she leaped high to go through the hole while throwing the gun back at Dante. Dante followed and jumped through it too. Now they found themselves in what seemed like a garden. Well, a rotten garden. All the roses were dead, and the grass was so old that it emitted a crackling noise when stepped on. Dante looked around and walked a little bit forward. Trish just continued to look around. There was total silence except for the crackling grass. But then, Dante spotted a group of bushes shaking. He slowly walked towards them taking out Ebony and pointing it at the bushes. Ready to face whatever was behind them, Dante moved the bushes with his hand. He saw a shaking brown-skinned man with his arms wrapped around his legs.
"What the hell?" Dante mumbled.
The man tilted his head shakily and looked at Dante. He felt his heart pop out when he saw Dante was pointing a gun at him. He covered his face with his arms begging Dante not to shoot him.
"Please, I didn't do anything don't shoot me!" the black man begged.
Dante noticed that the man was scared of the gun and holstered it. Then he stretched his arm out to help the man get up. It seemed like an eternity until the frightened man finally got on his feet.
"Relax dude, I won't hurt you" Dante assured.
"Th-th-thanks" the man said while shaking Dante's hand.
He looked like he was around thirty years old, was bald, and didn't seem like he was brave—obviously. He had a long-sleeved shirt. The sleeves were white and the rest of the shirt was blue. He had long blue jeans and a street-like beard.
"My name is Dante, this is my partner Trish" Dante introduced himself and Trish.
"M-m-m-my name is-is Mike" the now-named man introduced himself.
"So...what are you doing in a creepy place like this Mike?" Trish asked him.
"Well, I work for the local Irish museum, and they sent me here to see if the place was in good conditions. But then I heard screams, gunshots, and blood splitting; I was scared to death!" Mike answered.
"So you know this place from top to bottom?" Dante interrogated.
Mike nodded in reply. Dante and Trish exchanged looks. Then Dante looked back at Mike and a grin formed on his face.
"I shouldn't have said that, should've I?" Mike asked worried.
Dante grabbed Mike by the shirt and pulled him. Trish followed without protest.
"Hey hey, what are you doing!? Where are you taking me!?" Mike asked as the devil hunter dragged him.
Dante pushed Mike towards the stone wall. He trapped Mike with his arms. Each arm on each side. Then he moved his head so close to Mike's, that both of their faces were only inches away. Mike shivered like mad and was very nervous. He didn't know whether to trust Dante or not.
"This is a very dangerous place Mike. And we need to take that danger away. But you know this place from top to bottom Mike, and we need to find a medallion. So tell us, did you see half of a medallion somewhere?" Dante whispered that not even Trish could hear.
"Y-y-yes" Mike admitted.
"Take us there" Dante ordered under his breath.
"I have it" Mike informed Dante.
Mike pulled out the other half of the medallion out of his pocket. Dante snatched it and examined it. He was finally convinced it was real. He turned to Trish and smiled in happiness.
"Trish this is it, Mike took the other half of the medallion when looking around the castle!" he cried.
"Damn, that was easy" Trish said.
"Yeah I know!" Dante exclaimed.
He would finally rid the world of all demons. Every single one of them. But only the bad ones. He would wish for the medallion to kill every evil demon out there even Nasgarth. He thanked Mark and was about to put both halves together, when Xeefa appeared.
"Stop!" Xeefa cried.
"Xeefa, where were you all along?" Trish asked the angel.
"I had to go back to heaven and inform God about everything" Xeefa replied.
"Did I miss something here?" Mike asked puzzled.
"Long story, I'll explain later" Dante told the bald man.
"Anyways, why did you tell me to stop?" Dante questioned Xeefa.
"Because you can't use the medallion here, if you do, it won't resist the evil powers in this castle and will explode" the beautiful angel explained.
"What!? Why didn't the damn 'light of answers' tell me that!?" Dante asked outraged.
"I never said the light would give you all the answers did I? If the light inserted too much into your brain, you could've been a vegetable" Xeefa told the angry demon slayer.
"Great, now we have to get out of here and Nasgarth probably is aware of our presence by now!" Trish declared.
"Actually, he's already here" an eerie voice from behind said.
Everyone turned to see who that voice belonged to. It was Nasgarth himself. He had black armor protecting his whole body and had a sword made out of fire. His face was monstrous. It was red, scaly, and had brown and twisted horns. His eyes were glowing yellow, and his teeth were sharp as daggers.
"Nasgarth!" Xeefa cried.
"You see this sword son of Sparda? This sword was forged with the fires of hell itself!" Nasgarth bragged.
"You don't amaze me cocky devil" Dante snapped instantly.
Nasgarth laughed at the top of his lungs. When he stopped, he disappeared.
"Where did he go!?" Mike asked looking around.
"He teleported!" Trish exclaimed.
Dante's eyes looked around.
"No," he said, "he's just running at the speed of sound; but I can see him."
Dante continued to see where the fast Nasgarth went. His eyes finally fell on Xeefa. Then his eyes widened. He could see Nasgarth's every move.
"Xeefa, no!!!" he cried.
Nasgarth was finally visible to the others. Xeefa didn't understand why Dante had screamed out to her. But everyone else could see why. Nasgarth raised his fiery sword and stuck it deep into Xeefa's back. Xeefa spat out blood as she screamed. Nasgarth twisted the sword in order for the angel to feel more pain. Xeefa felt the painful twists as the point of the sword touched her heart. Blood was splattered everywhere. Dante, Mike, and Trish were left speechless. They could just stare as the angel died. Nasgarth finally retrieved the sword from her body. But the pain was far from over. There was a big hole on Xeefa's chest and her heart could be seen. Her heart was on fire. And then the fire spread and burned her whole body. Her screams would haunt Dante forever. After a while, only Xeefa's ashes were left.
"What's the matter son of Sparda, are you afraid you might end up like that?" Nasgarth mocked and laughed.
Dante's eyes were covered in tears. But his white hair covered his face. He didn't want others to see his weakness. He hated when others saw him cry. He was a demon slayer, demon slayers didn't cry. He gathered all his strength to answer to Nasgarth's mockery.
"You...bastard...I'm going to...kill you!!!!" he threatened.
The evil devil-knight just laughed and laughed. Dante was seriously pissed. He hadn't felt as pissed since he fought Mundus. He never thought he would feel angry if Xeefa died. But she was just so beautiful, innocent, and angelic. No matter how annoying she was, she didn't deserve to die. In fact, the last thing she deserved was to die.
"Are you forgetting something you fool? I can't die! I wished the medallion to grant me immortality long ago!" Nasgarth continued to mock.
'Oh crap' Dante thought. He had forgotten that Nasgarth was impossible to kill. But his sword, his sword could even kill him. Would this be the end? Would he just give up and let all his friends die in the hands of that bastard? He wasn't even sure what he was going to do. He was just sure of one thing. That he hated Nasgarth. One way or another, he would make him pay for killing Xeefa, even if it wasn't through death.
Well, there you have one more chapter. I'm not sure how long this story will be, but I planned on making it more than ten chapters long. But the plot is advancing so quickly that I'm just not so sure anymore. But no matter, I will find a way to make it longer than all my other fics. So PLEASE R&R since not many people have reviewed the second chapter. See ya, remember, it's up to you if this story ends or not!
