Author's note: Hello people who read DMC fics! I am AlphaBlades, also known
simply as Blades. This is my first story in the Devil May Cry section but
NOT my first story. Anyone who's read my other stuff might check this out
so I'll just give a quick hello to them and say that I am starting to work
on my OS and Rurouni Kenshin stories along with this one.
Anyway, back to this. I don't know how confusing this first chapter is since it goes through three time periods and starts off basically in the middle of everything. Just be patient since EVERYTHING will be explained. I left a lot out of this for a reason. I don't know who notices what but there's a lotta secret lil things in this so keep an eye out as you read this first chapter. Anyway, drop a review and tell me if I should keep it up. Thanks everyone!
And also...I dunno why I made the Blades sounds so...Surfer-like. Maybe those two specific Blades are just idiots.....
This is Blades. "Good reading equals good times." I'm out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------
"But you HAVE to run! You have to live, Serenity!" A man clashed in red and black yelled to the woman next to him.
It was hard to hear over the chaos of the underworld, the flames and the screeching most of it in her fluent demonic tongue howled out by others for the head of the Devil Hunter.
"No, we need you Dante!" She yelled back, cradling something in her arms which seemed to be wrapped in a red trench coat. Dante's coat.
He ignored her pleas and unbuckled the belt around his waist, strapping it to her own as he told her what to do. "Here! Take Ebony and Ivory and get back to the gate! The bullets should still hurt the low level demons around here! Now go!!"
He was interrupted by some winged beast but Alastor's blade saw an end to that.
"You won't make it out! Please don't give your life for me!"
"It's not only for you....." His eyes fell to the object in her hands.
She looked down at the crying face before her then turned back to Dante, sobbing just as badly. "Please no..."
He walked closer and put his hands on her shoulders. "You must. For you....And for him. I'll be fine so don't worry, alright? Not like it's my first time fighting down here." A playful smirk fluttered across his face. The smirk she couldn't resist. The one that made her feel like everything would turn out ok even though her mind told her different.
"You better not die, Mr. Sparda." She demanded with a slight smile.
His own grin widened as he replied. "You better not either, Mrs. Sparda."
With that he gave her one last kiss goodbye, took Alastor from it's sheath and ran towards the hoard of enemies that was fast approaching.
He sliced through them like they were nothing. He didn't let one beast past him, he COULDN'T let one past him, it might go after Serenity.....Although she was strong enough to take on a couple beatings herself.
There was a loud rumble followed by an even louder explosion. Dante covered his face and looked over to where the explosion came from. A man was now standing where the sound had been, a large scowl on his face. "Son of Sparda!!" He yelled placing the large demon-style Bastard Sword onto his shoulder. "Return her to us or we will kill you! Or better yet....force you into eternal damnation....Either way I'll have fun!"
Dante smirked. The demon was pretty built, that was for sure.....But he's fought things ten times bigger and meaner looking and came out fine.....This would be no different.
The demon himself did look pretty threatening. He had on black armor, the kind his father and brother would wear but his had veins of lava following around it's edges. He bore no helmet just a face....The face of a human. He pondered why a demon would choose a human face. Seemed the devil was going to explain.
"Come Son of Sparda!! Come and fight the general of demons.....Malik!"
"Hmph, if you're done stroking your ego we can fight." Dante retorted with his patented smirk.
"Very well! Let us begin!"
Malik lowered his sword and charged Dante. For someone so large Malik also seemed to have tremendous speed. Dante brought Alastor up and blocked the large weapon from crushing his skull in. After a short stalemate they pushed off each other and charged simultaneously, their swords clashing and giving off both fire and electricity.
Malik ducked a hard side trust by the Devil Hunter and shoved his foot deep into his stomach followed by a staggering deathblow to the back with his sword. He twisted it around in his hand and trusted it down, tip first into Dante's spine. Screaming in agony, Dante focused all his energy into a Devil Trigger. The sudden force knocked Malik back, his sword still in Dante's back.
He stood up and faced Malike. Grunting a bit he grabbed the tip of the blade and shoved it back through his body sending the giant weapon flying the other direction.
"Hmmm, quite resilient. Using your Devil Trigger like a trump card.....Well that won't save you!" Malik screaming as he ran towards the now demonic Dante. He swung a fist but Dante parried and took three quite slash's at his side and back. Malik doubled over and rolled over to his sword picking it up and charging back at Dante.
He was surprised by Malik's own resilience. He had three deep gashes in his side but not one threw him off his offensive attack. Steel once again met steel as the battle really heated up.
After awhile, the two stood looking at each other....Each with there fair share of cuts and bruises. "Good fight, Malik....But I'm about to end it. Gotta go help my family and all."
"Heh, you act like you'll get out of here and have a normal life....We know about Serenity's true power....And we know her offspring may also posses it....You think we'll just STOP chasing you if you escape? Not likely pal.....You, your wife and kid.....They'll be Beelzebub feed before the end of the week."
"You.....BASTARD!!"
Dante ran towards his opponent, his anger like nothing anyone has ever seen before.....His demon side was really coming out now. Time seemed to slow down as he reached Malik, swinging down as he was swinging up. Their weapons hit and energy exploded, filling the whole underworld.
Serenity watched her husband run into the pack of demons and took the opportunity to make her own escape. She ran for what seemed like forever, the painful screams of the demons slowly fading. She soon found the gate, her way out.....Her way to freedom....And it just so happened to be guarded by some Blades, Marionettes and a Shadow.
"How am I supposed to get around them?" She thought to herself.
Her thought was disrupted by a rumble and an explosion. The demons guarding the small circle on the floor turned to the noise. They started speaking to each other in their unique demonic language. Serenity, being a demon herself, listened in.
"Whoa, what was that?" A Blade said to another.
"I don't but DUDE that sounded big! You think that killed Dante?!"
"Sure it did! I mean man! He must be a splatter on the wall!"
"Hell yeah! Woo, that's SOO awesome!!
The Shadow growled in anger. "Be silent. Malik must have entered the fray. Stop being stupid and watch the gate."
"Oh shut up, you try to act all important all the time. Lighten up will ya?"
The Shadow simply glared at the Blade. The Blade hissed in annoyance and once again talked to the second one. "I'm going to go watch the fight. You want to come with?"
"Sure, not like watching the gate is of any importance."
The two started to roll off. The Shadow hissed and said. "Get back here and watch this gate!" The Blades didn't listen and it hissed again but one of great anger and annoyance. It turned to the Marionettes. "YOU will watch the gate as I track them down, got it?"
The all nodded once.
"At least something around here is obedient...." The Shadow ran off for the Blades.
Serenity raised an eyebrow. They just left the gate like that? With only low-level Marionettes watching it. She grinned. This was going to be easy.
She walked up to them. They turned and stood in a defense stance, beckoning for her to come closer. She stopped and stared at them. After a moment of silence the Marionettes stopped waiting and went in for the attack.
The dagger-wielding Marionettes threw their projectiles straight at Serenity. She didn't flinch as they seemed to have been stopped by some magic barrier. With titled heads her enemies looked on in amazement. A coy smile crossed her face as her velvet-shaded eyes began to glow. A bright magenta energy swirled around her, growing and pulsing. She raised her free arm towards the evil puppets and soon enough the entire room was engulfed in the same colored energy. After the flash faded nothing was standing.....Except Serenity, of course.
She took a confident strode to the gate but was stopped by a hissing. At first she thought it was a Shadow but the blades coming from the darkened corner told her it was a Blade, And a large one at that.
The projectiles, like the daggers, were stopped by the same barrier in front of Serenity. She took a more defensive stance and held her right arm out towards the Blade. She heard that these things could cause quite a hassle from Dante....Now she wanted to see if that was true.....But she had her child in her hands...Should she risk it?
The Blade suddenly snapped at her, claw tearing through the air. To it's own astonishment that was all it tore through as it fell lifeless to the ground, a sword plunged deep into his spine. The blade was a magnificent silver made from hundreds of other lesser blades. The handle had a reptilian like skull on it with the hilt poking out from it's mouth. Two bat-like wings spreading open on each end finished off the luck. That was Serenity's personal weapon, rightly named after her.
She took it from the Blade's back as it disintegrated and stepped on the gate. As the energy flowed around her, transporting her back to the human world she thought about Dante. She was worried beyond belief but she knew he would be fine.....She knew he would return to her. As the energy fully encompassed her a tremendous explosion rocked the entire underworld. She covered her eyes from the blow but soon realized she was already back on Earth's surface. She looked around as a shockwave erupted from under the street, sending huge chunks of concrete everywhere. The barrier that seemed to have been following Serenity blocked all the chunks from causing any harm to her or her son. After the shockwave stopped she just stared on....Wondering if Dante was ok.
"Come back to me Dante...." She thought to herself, using her leathery wings to fly her back to their house in this human world.
Ten years later
A young boy was running back home 20 miles from his school. Immediately one could tell this boy was not normal, maybe his constant running at full speed all the way home was a hint, and maybe because he speed was faster then most track stars.
He lived a fairly normal life considering most people were frightened of him....Well not him, more afraid of his mother. She was a demon, he knew that for as long as he could remember, it was obvious by what she looked like. Grey skin, purple cat like eyes, deep black hair that seemed to suck light itself into it, and most evident of all....The large bat-like wings on her back which she never tried to hide.
He looked human though, in every way. The only thing people really noticed about him, aside from his physical abilities, was his hair and eyes. He had the same ebony hair as his mother but had the eyes of deep blue crystal.
The boy walked up to the door to his house and turned the knob. As he turned it he noticed the door was already open. This started to bother him and his edginess only grew as he entered the house. Something smelled rotten but he couldn't quite figure out what it was, some kind of meat or something. His furniture and other things were scattered all over the room, there was some kind of fight in here. Where was his mom?!
A chilling sensation went down his spine as he felt something was wrong. He KNEW something was wrong....He didn't want to move, the feeling was overbearing him....Yet he was moving, somewhat out of his own power. He wandered into the main room to find the most horrific thing he would ever see in his time on this earth.
A crucifix was hanging high on the opposite wall, it seemed to be drenched into some eerier blue glowing liquid which he would later find out was Holy Water. It was what was hanging from the crucifix that got the boy's attention. It was a demon. A female demon.....He mother. Her hands and feat were nailed to the cross and wings nailed just above the wood. Burns seemed to cover her naked body and were most likely from the Holy Water and having to touch such a holy symbol. The coop de gra was her own sword plowed deep into her chest with a sign hanging off of it. It read: "I HAVE RETURNED –S.O.S."
The boy couldn't help but empty the contents of his stomach onto the bloody floor. Tears flowed like rivers from his face, marching down his cheeks. He ran the other direction, towards the door, his back pack still on and a red coat's sleeve flailing from it's opening.
8 years later. Present time
"Hey, you going to sit here all day?" A waitress said to the man in front of her.
"Yeah, guess I should get this over with anyways." He said, standing up.
The waitress watched him start to put his gear back on after taking it off when he walked in. The slipped on a long red coat and picked up a belt with two pistols in it, placing them around his waist and positioning the guns at his back. Next he took a sword from the seat next to him and put it on his back. The handle seemed to be made of different types of bones with a red ruby sitting in the middle next to wear the blade started.
"What's with all the weapons?" She asked.
"All? I just have my hand guns and Salvation. I wouldn't call that a lot, Missy."
"Salvation?"
He sighed. "My sword...."
"Ohhhh....You name your weapons?"
He seemed to be clearly annoyed now. "Look, does it really matter? You're interrupting me with all these stupid questions."
"Interrupting what? Who are you to be just be all high and mighty?"
He smirked at her, a cocky little smirk that has been seen before by a man of great power. "The name's Ash and I'm a Devil Hunter. I've been chasing a demon all around God's creation for a week for a hefty sum of money. I finally trapped him here."
"Oh what a load of crap. You really expect me to believe that? Where's this demon anyhow?"
"Oh, he's right over there." He said pointing to the bar. "The bartender."
With that said the bartender looked up at him with fear in his now cat like red eyes. He'd been found out even through his human disguise, he jumped up on the bar and ripped off the human flesh spreading his wings and flying for the door. He was defiantly a fast one, that was for sure.
"Oh not again!" Ash yelled, pulling the two guns from his back and firing at the now escaping demon. He got him good in the whole left side, including and couple well aimed shots into his wings. The thing tumbled out the doors and started to now stagger away. Ash put the gun in his right hand back into it's holster, grabbed his cup of coffee and casually walked to the doors, the waitress following him, her eyes fives times bigger then normal.
He aimed the gun at the demon and plugged five more shots into his other wing, arm, and leg. He grinned as the thing flopped around helplessly on the ground. Ash looked over at the waitress and handed him his coffee. "Could you hold onto this for a second?"
She nodded still looking at the demon before her. Ash walked closer to the devil and put his other gun away, trading it for the sword on his back. He stopped about five feet away and looked at it. "Done running, huh? Good, time to get the amulet back and get my money."
The demon hissed at him then charged some kind of energy up in his mouth. A split second later and large fire ball exploded from the mouth and headed right to Ash who simple stood there, smirking. The ball of flames got closer but seemed to split and disperse only inches in front of Ash. After the small puffs of smokes faded the people around could see a faded aura of red energy, some type of barrier perhaps, around the man in red and black. "That's ALL you got? I can't believe I chased you down for so long just to find out you're not even worth my time....Worth the money, tough."
The demon, now enraged, charged.....Well stumbled really fast more then anything, towards the Devil Hunter.
"Hmph." He said with a smile as he raised his sword up in one hand and let it come crushing down on his enemies head. It was almost too sad to watch. The thing fell and soon disintegrated leaving only a small blue orb.
Ash walked over to it and picked it up. "You were one bitch to find but now it's time to cash you in for a pretty penny." He placed it in his coat pocket and walked over to the waitress who was STILL dumb-founded.
He took his coffee and waved his hand in front of her face, getting her attention. "Hey, thanks for holding that.....Do I owe you anything for it?"
"Huh? Uh, no! The bartender's kind of umm....Dead now, so I guess it's on the house."
"Great well I'll be out of here. Oh! And you might want my card. That thing was a Raziel, they usually travel in packs and avenge their dead comrades so I'll most likely have to return."
She took the card and read it out loud. "'Devil Will Cry. Complete and total demon extermination.' "
"Yep. 'You pay, we slay.' Just call the number and tell me who you are, where to go, and what's bugging you. I'll be here in a flash."
With that he put his shades on and hopped on his bike, riding off on the dirt path back to his office in the city.
Anyway, back to this. I don't know how confusing this first chapter is since it goes through three time periods and starts off basically in the middle of everything. Just be patient since EVERYTHING will be explained. I left a lot out of this for a reason. I don't know who notices what but there's a lotta secret lil things in this so keep an eye out as you read this first chapter. Anyway, drop a review and tell me if I should keep it up. Thanks everyone!

"Hmph." He said with a smile as he raised his sword up in one hand and let it come crushing down on his enemies head. It was almost too sad to watch. The thing fell and soon disintegrated leaving only a small blue orb.
Ash walked over to it and picked it up. "You were one bitch to find but now it's time to cash you in for a pretty penny." He placed it in his coat pocket and walked over to the waitress who was STILL dumb-founded.
He took his coffee and waved his hand in front of her face, getting her attention. "Hey, thanks for holding that.....Do I owe you anything for it?"
"Huh? Uh, no! The bartender's kind of umm....Dead now, so I guess it's on the house."
"Great well I'll be out of here. Oh! And you might want my card. That thing was a Raziel, they usually travel in packs and avenge their dead comrades so I'll most likely have to return."
She took the card and read it out loud. "'Devil Will Cry. Complete and total demon extermination.' "
"Yep. 'You pay, we slay.' Just call the number and tell me who you are, where to go, and what's bugging you. I'll be here in a flash."
With that he put his shades on and hopped on his bike, riding off on the dirt path back to his office in the city.
