The Tear.

Dante set his resolve, this monster was going to it, big time. He looked back up at the Demon in the air. It was laughing madly.

"Do you think you beat me! The Son Of Sparda! You have no chance! I am ending this now!" The demon was screaming as loud as he could, he was so sure of his victory.

He pointed his hands at Dante once more and his whole body started to glow.

Suddenly the lightening picked up again, it was coming down as fast as the rain, Dante started running dodging each bolt as they came. The demon let out a stream of lightening; it collided with Dante as he ran.

Dante let out a scream. Slowly he was being raised in the air, with a constant pain of heat and electricity. On top of the stream he was held in he was being hit by thousands of lighten bolts. The pain was immense.

"So Dante, you meet your end at last, and the real you shall reign as the ruler of this world."

The lightening got more intense.

"You...arg...are missing...aarhhhhhhh...one thing!" Dante could feel his body failing.

The Demon looked surprised.

"I!... Am!... Dante!..." He fought back with all his strength, moving his hands towards his guns.

"Son!... Of!... Sparda!..." His hands met with his guns, and the pain in his body was almost unbearable.

"But!... My!... Humanity...!Gives!...Me!...Strength!" He pulled with all his strength, pointing Ebony and Ivory at the demon.

He fired to single shots at him, each one hitting him in opposite shoulders. The stream of lightening stopped, Dante fell to the ground and hit it with a thud. He dropped his guns and they slid along the ground.

Dante struggled to hold open his eyes, he looked and once more he saw the young girl...he could feel the anger in side rising. Slowly it burned becoming a rage. With out looking at the demon he cried.

"Have you ever heard of Ifrit. The demon."

"Ifrit is a legend he does not exists."

"Your wrong!" Dante screamed, a single tear rolled down his face.

"Ha, you pathetic mortal, you are crying, can you not face up to defeat."

A sudden burst of strength came to Dante.

"Hm. Even a Devil May Cry." Dante screamed.

A sudden burst of flame surrounded him. He could feel his muscles being teared from the inside. He could feel his skin ripping, sending bursts of flame out ward. His whole body change, he had become a demon, in the shape of a minator with horn on his head and huge claws.

Dante was still shrouded in flame and the Demon could not see the change. Suddenly he launched his self in the air, huge flaming claws first. He smashed in to the Demon sending him and Dante to the ground.

Dante in his new form was incredibly agile for such a large devil. He flipped off the Demon and landed on his claws and feet. Letting out his anger, he smashed his claws into the ground leaving cracks and holes.

"Get up!" Dante screamed.

The Demon struggled to his feet

"No! No, you can't be!" The may have been the first time this demon knew fear.

"What I can't be a Devil, just because I have humanity. Do you remember why Sparda was a legend, for protecting the humans...not so strange that I am like this."

Dane launch him self at the Demon again.

"No! No!"

The Demon panicked and fired lightening at Dante. Dante jumped over it, somersaulting bringing his hell and then both fists down on his opponent. When he hit the ground he let out a circle of fire that hit the Demon as he fell.

As he rose Dante Slammed him in the chest with an uppercut sending him flying across the street into a building, he smashed through the wall in to the house. Hopefully it was empty.

Slowly the Demon climbed out of the rubble, standing the Demon gathered all the lightening energy he could. He generated a bubble around himself, gather all he could for one final lethal attack.

Dante knew what was going on. He placed his hands together and generated an attack of his own. He created a flaming meteor it was covered in magma. By the time he was finished it was the size of a car. He stood behind the huge object.

"This is your end Dante." The Demon screamed launching his massive attack, a huge wave of lightening and a blast style attack, it would be the equivalent of a tidal wave and an army of tanks; only all was made of lightening.

Dante screamed and smashed his fists in to the meteor sending it on a direct course to the Demon. The meteor cut through the Lightening attack splitting it in two and sending it safely off to the side.

The meteor collided with the Demon with a force that could not be calculated. Dante Turned and ran towards the young girl, just as he did the meteor exploded obliterating the Demon completely and sending a shock wave and blast out ward. Dante launched himself at the young girl.

He used his body to shield her from the incoming blast.

"I'll keep you safe." He whispered in his harsh demon voice.

Momentarily the girl opened her eyes, seeing his devil features she fell back asleep maybe out of shock. The blast hit him, the full force of his attack however did not, he was only hit by the after shock.

That however was enough top knock the strength out of him, sending him back to his human form. Slowly he opened his eyes and stood up.

He gentle picked up the girl and carried her in to his bar. He laid her on his red couch by the door. He remembered he had smelling salts behind the bar. He went to retrieve them, but stopped when he heard her voice.

"please don't hurt me!" Dante turned.

"He is gone, you're safe now." Dante smiled at her putting his hand in his pocket.

"When I woke before I saw a demon thing. It scared me so much. What happened to it." The girl was so scared she was shaking.

"There was no one there but me and you, look what are you going to do, you can stay here, or I can escort you home." Dante watched as she stood up. Clothes a mess and body bleeding she looked like she could use some sleep. "I don't have a home, I lived at my school, but I hate it there and don't want to go back. But I don't want to burden you by staying here. So I will leave." The girl turned to walk out.

"Hey what is your name?" Dante asked.

"Jessica" She replied.

Dante raised his hand from his pocket revealing his fathers coin.

"I'll make you a deal" He said smiling. "If this coin land on heads you stay here, I give you a job and you earn your own way, that way you are no charity case. And if it lands on tails I let you walk away."

"Ok, fair enough." She said turning back.

Dante flipped the coin and let it fall to the floor, both of them walked up and looked at the coin. Heads.

"looks like your staying here." Dante smiled and walked over to the bar.

"Thank you." She said taking a seat on the couch.

"Your welcome, you can have a bath and there are some clothes that may fit you in a chest behind that door over there." Dante walked over picking up his coin again.

"I will be back in a few minutes, I am going to check on the body of that guy."

"Don't leave me here alone." She looked scared again.

"I'll come back" He replied looking at her. "I promise"

Dante walked out of the bar, flipping the coin as he went. His eyes sight was excellent, he could see each side of the coin as it spun. Heads on both sides. Dante smiled to himself.
