Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy 7 or Devil May Cry. If I did I would be very happy. Not to mention rich.
A/N: YAY! I made it to chapter 3!!! Afro-Rican, thanks for the suggestion about Aeris. I'll probably do it but you know Dante. Any ways, thanks for the reviews guys. I really appreciate them. All right, on to Loud Explosions and Big Robots!!!
Dante exited the shaft and looked around. He had emerged into a hallway of some sorts. His glance fell on a figure in the corner near him. It was the brown headed girl from the train. She was shaking her head mumbling inaudibly. He walked forward and watched as Aeris slid out of the shaft, stumbling. Dante caught her as she fell and helped her up. She giggled slightly and watched as the others made their way out. Barrett, with a little trouble, managed to squeeze himself out of the shaft. He cussed and walked over to the girl in the corner.
"What the hell happened, Jesse!?" his face bulged as his blood pumped harder. Jesse just shook her head and sighed. Cloud pulled away the hulking black man. Barrett scoffed and walked out of the hallway. It was dark and dank as they made their way through a tunnel and to a ladder. A black hared man stood there and motioned to Cloud.
"Go, on up. Well meet you at the exit" he said as he ran off from where they had came. Cloud nodded to Tifa and climbed up the ladder. Tifa went after him followed by Barrett. Aeris went in front of Dante and smiled. She began to climb the ladder then paused. "Dante," she started. He looked at her face as her angelic voice spoke, "I know you're a demon hunter, but… will you watch out for me? You know, be my body guard?" Dante was a little shocked then grinned.
" 'Corse, hon', but it'll cost you". She giggled.
"OK, how about… one date?" she smiled at Dante's expression. She continued to climb up the ladder. Dante regained his composer and followed.
When they reached the top they saw Cloud, Tifa, and Barrett waiting at the bottom of a slide type thing. Dante smirked and jumped onto the half pipe. His boots acted as a skate board as he slid down the pipe. At the end he did a flip and twisted in the air and landed perfectly, getting applause from Tifa and Aeris, and rolled eyes from Cloud and Barrett. Dante waited like a little boy as Aeris slowly made her way down. When she finally reached the end, they strode off for a mechanical door that slid open when they approached it. The inside of the reactor was like a maze as they made their way to a long catwalk. Finally they saw the core and Dante and Aeris guarded the entrance as Tifa planted a bomb. Cloud fell to the ground and started shaking. After Tifa activated the bomb, she brought Cloud back to his senses and took off. They ran back to where the slide was and Dante scratched his head.
"Don't tell me we're going back up that slide" Dante wined. Cloud started up some stairs. "No, we go this way". Dante mocked Cloud and got a smack from Aeris. He rubbed his head and followed his spiky hared companion. When they reached the top they found a locked set of doors. Cloud, Tifa and Barrett opened the locks by simultaneously pressing buttons on a key pad in the next room. They entered the door and continued their long walk toward the core, fighting security robots and monsters along the way. They exited the reactor and found themselves on another catwalk leading to a junction. Barrett ran down the catwalk, turned right and yelled
"This way!!" only to be stopped by a battalion of ShinRa troopers. Foot steps could be heard behind the group. They looked behind them and saw a man in a red suit clapping. "Nice to finally meet you Avalanche" the man smirked. Cloud and walked forward and growled.
"President Shinra… remember me?". The president cocked an eyebrow then nodded. "Ahhh… yes, you must be hat traitor, Cloud. Forgive me if I didn't recognize you at first. It is hard to remember the names of my troops. Unless you were another Sephiroth" the smile on the president's face grew larger. Cloud nearly jumped the old man.
"Sephiroth is alive, an he is after my head. Why?" The president laughed and shook his head as a helicopter approached.
"I'm sorry I don't have time to chat but I have a dinner I must attend to. But I do have something to play with you while I am gone" At his words a giant robot emerged from the other exit and passed the group, separating Cloud, and Aeris from Tifa, Dante and Barrett.
"His name is Airbuster," the president climbed onto a rope ladder, "He is a techno soldier and the information he extracts from your lifeless bodies will be most valuable" The helicopter flew away as Airbuster attacked.
It shot a missile at Dante. Dante easily avoided it and jumped onto Airbuster's head. He pulled put his pistols and unloaded them into the robots head. Sparks flew every where as Airbuster grabbed Dante and flung him into the railing. Cloud got shot by it's machine gun as he sliced at its back. The robot shook violently and unleashed a blue blast that blew back Tifa and Barrett, knocking them out. Aeris bit her lip and spun her staff in a circle. A green light engulfed the group as they were healed. Airbuster saw as its attempts to kill the party were wiped away. It smacked Aeris causing her fly backwards. Dante jumped up and yelled.
"You son of BITCH!" blue lighting engulfed Dante as his body transformed. Large demonic wings shot out of his back. His eyes glowed red and his skin turned black. His red leather coat and black pants were still intact on his body. His guns grew slightly larger as he unleashed a barrage of pure electricity at Airbuster. The robot became immobile and Dante jumped into the air. He holstered his guns and unsheathed his broad sword and sliced the robot in half, landing with such force on the catwalk it left a dent in the cement used to hold it together. Airbuster exploded, destroying half of the cat walk. Dante reverted back to human and dived to one side, dodging the explosion. When the dust cleared Cloud and Aeris were hanging on pipes protruding from the cat walk. Dante and the others looked on in horror as Cloud and Aeris hung on for dear life. Aeris lost her grip and fell.
"Aeris!!" Dante yelled as he jumped off the catwalk. He flew past Aeris and slowed himself down with his long coat. He caught her and crashed into a building landing in a flower bed.
They laid there for awhile before Aeris rolled off of him and slowly got to her feet. She was able to drag him over to a pew in the church. She sat him up in the pew and wiped his bleeding face with a handkerchief. Dante slowly opened his eyes. All he could see was light and a figure in front of him. The outline of the woman before him was like an angel and the light made it more convincing. His sight slowly returned and he noticed Aeris wiping his face. He grabbed her hand and held it firmly. She jumped a little and smiled. She hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you Dante" was all he heard before he passed out.
