Devil May Cry Olympus Titans Curse
ESKK: Well, another chapter and with it a small announcement. Lately my chapters get delayed because I've trying to make them as long as possible for each part of the story. This had in turn caused setbacks, writers block, and the like. Now normally I try to gun for a minimum of 6,000 words but I'm starting to understand that such a task may not be possible for me. Thus, I decided to cut back on the word count a bit till I can get chapters out in reasonable times. Now that I have that out of the way let's get started.
(Start Calisto)
Calisto was seen dashing out of the clothing pathway in Limbo while still in her panther form. Once she got out, she slid across the ground before reverting to her human form. Stretching a bit Calisto looked around and saw she was in the clear for the time being. With a smile Calisto began to make her way through Limbo knowing she had a path to get to the Hell Gate.
Of course, Calisto's trek did not last long as she entered a tunnel path and thus found the ground break under her. "ENJOY THE SLIDE!" Limbo printed out for Calisto with laughter and in turn Calisto saw the tunnel tilt forward into a way she could not walk easily. In turn, this caused Calisto to start sliding down the new ramp curtesy of Limbo's actions.
As she slid obstacles appeared before her causing Calisto to avoid them the best she could. Most of the obstacles were walls, spikes, and lasers but thankfully the Tri-Breed managed to avoid them all. Once she got to the bottom Calisto saw a large pit in the way and thus glared at it.
"I don't think so." Calisto said before reaching the bottom. Once she hit the bottom Calisto jumped and entered a bird form before she flew over the pit much to Limbo's annoyance with her. Landing gracefully on the ground Calisto smirked before continuing on her way to the gates.
But it seems not even Limbo was Angel free as she saw a familiar light appear. Since it was daytime, the Angels were out to play especially since they now have a Lumen Sage to send demons their way. Calisto sighed as she knew she would have to deal with these feathered fuckers again.
-Insert Bayonetta 2 OST: Angel Descend-
From above a medium sized Angel appeared with a host of allies similar to it. The Angel had a sword jutting from its right arm as its left arm seemed to have a crossbow built into it. The angel reminded Calisto of the Joys and thus it was not hard for her to see that this Angel had a similarity to her brother. This Angel was no doubt like the Joys that it mimics Evan and her father Dante's combat abilities. If Calisto was correct, then according to the Book of Laguna this Angel was known as…
"First Sphere Sepherim Vigilance."
-End OST-
"Well seems dad and Evan have some swag stealers up in Paradiso." Calisto said with a smirk on her face. "Well then bring it on." Calisto challenged while taking a battle stance and using her gun to gesture for the angel to come fight.
-Insert Bayonetta 2 OST: Riders of the Light-
The battle began as Calisto easily bobbed and weaved through her foe's attacks. Vigilance swung his sword at Calisto, but the Tri-Breed Umbra Witch avoided it with ease. While she might not have the physical strength of Evan and her father at her disposal Calisto did in fact have the speed and agility of her mother and grandmother to utilize. Plus, this fight gave her an excuse to go to town on the knock off of Evan for every time her twin brother pissed her off like all brothers do.
Once Calisto was done with the dodging she began to fight back against the Vigilance. She opened fire with her Guns on the Angel hitting it with ease and piercing its outer shell a bit. Once that was done, she busted out Catastrophe and charged in on her angelic for. Vigilance acted and dodged the attack and then met the might of Catastrophe with his holy sword poised to kill. The two parted ways before they went to a sword fight both sides trying to get the upper hand here. The two foes then parted ways and ran around each other firing off their ranged weapons against each other.
Seemingly forgotten the other Vigilance the first one came here with were moving to attack Calisto. They intended to blindside her unaware that her heightened senses would pick up on it if they had not already done so. Calisto then smirked as the Vigilance went for their surprise attack on her before activating her Witch Time ability. The failed sneak attack slowed down to a crawl as Calisto used the brief moment of; Witch Time's power to go to town on the Angels. They never saw it coming as their outer shells took a major beating from Calisto. She then drew Catastrophe and split it into its twin sword form just before her Witch Time had ended.
Calisto sliced the Angels heads off and then cut them both in half leaving the original Vigilance as the sole survivor. "For a name like Vigilance you're not very observant." Calisto said with a cocky smirk on her face. "In the words of a Harry Potter character, Constant Vigilance!" Calisto taunted as she had her left eye covered by her hand.
The Angel then roared at Calisto before going on the attack once more, but Calisto was ready for her foe. Dodging the attack Calisto jumped over the Vigilance before tagging its back. Once that was done, she activated a spell which the angel tried to escape from by running away. It failed as Calisto forced her enemy into a Pillory for this battles climax. Walking behind her foe she rubbed its read end a bit before proceeding to spank it while using her Wicked Weave. The results were the Angel feeling excruciating pain from the blows to its posterior.
"I hope you like anal." Calisto said as she had Catastrophe ready to rock this Angel world and possible traumatize it. The Vigilance went wide eyed as it tried desperately to escape only for Calisto to stab the sword up its read causing the Angel to screech out a bloodcurdling scream.
Soon she sliced the Angel in two and with it the pillory ending the attack. With a smirk on her face Calisto was cleaning her ear out a bit from that scream just then. "Well, what do you know, angels do scream." Calisto said while dusting her hand off before she began to take her leave of the area. After all the Tri-Breed Umbran Witch still had to find the Gates of Hell to rescue Bianca's soul from eternal damnation.
(Meanwhile back over with Tyr)
Tyr was seen traversing Limbo still in an area a bit a way's ahead of Calisto. He had been travelling this way for some time now and had already dealt with several demons thus far. Tyr had no problem with any of them as they were demons that he had known well from his times studying in the aby with all his fellow Sages in training. Of course, the last Lumen Sage had the misfortune of facing off with several demons he did not know but had quickly adapted around them and killed them all.
Still, it did not spare Tyr of the vexing annoyances that some Demons posed. It was at times that he suspected their rage and enthusiasm overrode their knowledge and common sense. A funny story that was the time he spent in this world had made Tyr question the common sense of many of these people. He knew not what this, 'Facebook,' or, 'YouTube,' was but he suspected it must be some heretic tome or demonic artifact of sorts that had encroached its way into this modern world. Though he won't lie some of these modern conveniences have their benefits. Tyr had never experienced running water and plumbing but he was thankful that it exists here. He would no longer have need of a chamber pot while he was in this strange, frightening, and yet amazing era to which he had awoken.
Just then Tyr heard skittering movements causing him to get on edge while summoning his Lance. The skittering moved about the area as he tried to locate the sounds source. Just then from up above a large creature came down and almost crashed atop of Tyr. Thankfully, the Lumen Sage was fast enough to avoid it with a little help from his Light Speed ability.
Once Tyr landed nearby, he was seen standing atop a broken pillar of some sort. Standing before the Lumen Sage was a large scorpion as it glared about searching for something or perhaps it was searching for someone in particular. Turning around its many eyes glared at Tyr who glared back at his odd foe. "What matter of creature are you?" Tyr asked as he glared at the massive insectoid. This creature clicked its mandibles as it snapped its pincers in challenge to the Sage. At this moment Tyr was facing a legend of the past whose carved its story into the stars themselves. The monster who had poisoned Orion centuries prior the monsters known only as…
"The Poison of the Stars: Scorpio."
As Tyr glared at Scorpio, he stood ready for an attack that he knew was coming. He was correct as Scorpio went and attacked Tyr intended to end the Lumen Sage's life. But Tyr easily avoided its claws before using his Lance to block its tail stab. Apparently, this guy was not much of a talker unlike the Demons he had faced upon his arrival to Limbo. That worked perfectly for Tyr as he was not one for foes who liked to waste time with foolish monologues.
Tyr easily avoided most of his foe's attacks as he knew to keep his eyes on its pinchers and stinger. Both of those were deadly but the stinger was more so due to the poison that a Scorpion can use. Using his Lances to block the attacks from either side Tyr had his weapon in its dual wielding form. Pushing the pinchers back Tyr backflipped away from the arachnoid monster before throwing a peacock dagger at the creature. The monster blocked the attack with the armor on its claws just as Tyr landed back down. It then went after Tyr and proceeded to start stinging which Tyr managed to avoid each attempt from the creature.
The Lumen Sage then blocked the stinger with his lance and forced it to the ground. Once he did that, he proceeded to sever it from the rest of it. This in turn resulted with the creature crying out in pain as a golden dust like substance spewed from where its stinger was severed from. Scorpio screeched in pain at the loss of its secret weapon before directing all of its hatred upon the Tri-Breed.
Tyr glared at his foe before his glare began to form into a smirk instead. Scorpio saw it and knew Tyr was taunting him and thus charged once more aiming to kill the Lumen Sage. Tyr easily dealt with the strikes from his foe spinning his lance about blocking the pinchers as they came forth. Keeping his foe at bay Tyr then jumped back and then sent a fist forward which was then joined by Temperantia's fist. The blow hit Scorpio sending it back and thus Tyr knew it was time to end this fight.
"HONONOL!" Tyr invoked as he threw upward a peacock feather which then opened a holy gate from Paradiso. Descending down upon his foe was Temperantia with his fists clenched ready to do as the Sage asks of him to do. Scorpio was wide eyed in shock as his many eyes bore witness to the new arrival towering over the monster. The monster then tried to escape hoping to avoid the wrath of the Audito Angel. But Temperantia would not allow it as he began to raise his fist heavenward. Scorpio could not avoid it in time as Temperantia brought his fist down and squashed the monster before it could flee. The Audito performed a few more smashes upon the monster ensuring that it would not be walking away from this confrontation if ever at all.
Once he smashed his fist down for the final time Temperantia began to raise his hand and pull it away. The act showed that Scorpio was nothing more than wet paste on the ground which turned into the golden dust a monster left behind. The only thing left of the creature was parts of its shell and the stinger which Tyr had severed from it. Seeing his task done Temperantia returned to Paradiso through the same portal that brought him to Limbo to begin with. Tyr scoffed and began to walk away taking the tail bit with him as he left. It might prove useful to him as would the pieces of the monster shell that had survived the confrontation.
Perhaps Rodin may find some use of the remains and provide Tyr with a new weapon. After all the Red Orbs that he has gathered thus far have grown many during his time within the realm of Limbo slaying Demons.
(Scene Break over with Evan)
Evan was seen running down a path as he was making his way to the Hell Gate. As Evan ran through the path of Limbo, he made sure to keep his senses up for any surprises on the way there. HE still remembered the Underworld and how his demonic blood was compensating for his disconnection from his Divine Blood. If Inferno is any way the same, then Evan needs to keep his head in the game or lose himself to the demon's desire for battle.
But as Evan passed by a small little indention in the wall, he failed to notice it shift ever so slightly. "Well, hello there my good chum." Came a voice which made Evan stop and look to the source of it. There he saw the cloaked figure Percy had met back at the museum. "I hope you might fancy a bit of talk while on your quest." The foe greeted as Evan looked to the stranger standing before him.
"And who might you be?" Evan asked as he looked to what he could only assume was another demon before him.
"Oh, Chows is my name Arty Chows." Arty introduced himself with a respectful bow to Evan. "And you must be Evan Sparda Redgrave, you've become a bit famous down south." The man said as he approached Evan. "Come let me get a good look at you." He said while walking around Evan much to the Tri-Breeds own sense of unease.
"Dude a little personal space." Evan said as he did not like how this man was looking the Tri-Breed over.
"Hmm yes, yes exactly as I was told." Arty said as he looked Evan over before departing his person and keeping his distance from Evan. "Pardon me but I must ask, what brings you this far down into Limbo?" Arty asked as he was most curious about the Tri-Breed here.
"Trying to get to Inferno to save a friend there." Evan said as he looked to Arty who gasped a bit.
"Then you must be seeking the Hell Gate!" Arty said as that was the only way into Inferno. "But I fear that your noble quest is for not." Arty said with a solemn tone. "Someone or something had sealed the Hell Gate, and nothing can open it believe me I have tried." Arty said as he looked down sadly.
"What?!" Evan gasped as he heard this.
"Yes, no way to open it I'm afraid your friend's soul is lost." Arty said as Evan did not want to believe it.
"Then I'll just have to force my way through." Evan said as he began walking away causing Arty to get in Evan's way.
"But Sir Redgrave if you go then all you will do is waste your time!" Arty said trying to dissuade Evan from going. "Even if you go there you cannot break through." Arty said but Evan begged to differ.
"Watch me." Evan said but Arty then sighed in defeat.
"If you truly intend to carry out this fool's quest… perhaps you need an edge." The man offered causing Evan to stop again. "As you know Evelyn was a powerful combatant and her sword Tartarus could very well rival the Yamato in power." Arty said as Evan saw where this was going.
"But I have no clue where the Tartarus is." Evan said but Arty smiled under his hood to the Tri-Breed hunter.
"Then might I offer my assistance?" Arty asked causing Evan to look to the being skeptical of any aid he might provide to the Tri-Breed. "See I make it my business to know where everything in Limbo is and I can promise you that the Tartarus is close by." Arty said as he looked to Evan. "In fact, I dare say that your sister Calisto is the closest to it." Arty said as he looked to the young Devil Hunter.
"Ok and what's in it for you?" Evan asked as he gave Arty a questionable look suggesting he was suspicious of this mysterious cloaked stranger.
"Hmm what's in it for me you ask Sir Redgrave?" Arty asked as he sounded a bit holly about it. "My friend there are some demons who can manipulate how Limbo operates." Arty explained as he walked over to a nearby wall. "Change the map, attack those who are unwanted, or even…" He paused while putting his hand on the wall which began to glow. "Open a path unseen by many." HE said which then caused Limbo to create the path for the young Tri-Breed.
"But your question is what I gain out of this?" Arty asked as he looked to Evan. "What I gain is to help you lot reach your full potential of course." Arty said as he walked off to the side a bit. "See I was a most honored supporter of your grandfather his strength and cunning to best Mundus and Argosax was unrivaled in Inferno." Arty said as he looked to Evan. "I felt it was only fair that I aid the winner of those confrontations through his own lineage." He said which Evan found odd, but then again Demons did have varying traits of honor and pride amongst them.
"Ok let's see what you got." Evan said and with a snap Arty vanished similar to that one scene from Harry Potter Evan watched with his sister that one summer. Rolling his eyes Evan took the path he was taking previously only for Limbo to rise a wall up to stop the Tri-Breed's path. "Jackass." Evan cursed and then went to the other path since he had no choice. As Evan took the path, he hoped he didn't make a mistake with this choice somehow. Evan continued the path with every intention of getting to Inferno and saving Bianca's soul. After all, if he failed, he knew for a fact that Nico would never forgive them for failing his sister. Plus, if Evan were being honest here, he would rather keep the demigod kid happy considering his old man was Hades God of the Underworld.
(Scene Break over with Calisto)
Calisto had arrived at another area of Limbo which she was traversing to locate the Hell Gate that would help her save her friend Bianca. Exploring the area, she noticed that she was far from alone in this place. Stopping for a moment Calisto's senses were on high alert now. Looking to the source of her concern Calisto turned around and saw a Gate from Inferno had opened behind her.
-Insert Bayonetta 2 OST: Devil Advent-
Rising from the burning gate Calisto recognized the Demon as it was one of those who were under Sheba's domain of rule in Inferno. "An Infernal?" Calisto asked as she looked to the newly arrived Demon rising before her.
From the portal a large quadrupedal demon came forth not as big as some of her summons but big enough to take note of. It seemed to be partially machine like as spokes stuck out of its body dripping with blood. Chains dangled from its body with human remains attached all currently in a perpetual state of pure unbridled agony. This new demon seemed to be a twin headed dragon of sorts as the two heads snarled and roared their fanged stained with the black ink like substance of Limbo.
This new Demon was clearly not friendly as Calisto didn't know if it was Sheba's or another who had a score against the Sparda Bloodline. According to the information provided by the book on Demons this enemy was known as…
"Hunter of the Condemned: Savagery!"
-End OST-
Calisto was surprised by this as she saw something was seriously going on here. Infernals who are under Sheba's rule never attack a Sparda or an Umbran Witch so to see one here was not a good sign. That is assuming this Demon was one of Sheba's and if it was then chances are that it was a rogue that had probably rebelled.
The Demon then roared and went on the attack as Calisto knew to act fast. She dodged the initial charge by spinning around her foe. Once the Demon passed her its two maws roared in fury clearly wanting to cause the Witch some unholy pain. "I don't know why you chose to rebel against Sheba I always thought she was a fair ruler in comparison to Mundus or Abigail." Calisto said almost taunting the Demon.
Savagery roared and then charged at Calisto who had her fist reared back for battle. Using her Wicked Weave Calisto proceeded to punch her attacker with Lady Astarte's aid and in turn sent the Demon crashing into the wall nearby. "Well at least some of you kept your end of the contract." Calisto said as she and Astarte then knuckle bumped each other before Calisto took a battle stance.
As Savagery came back in, he glared at Calisto before releasing a howling roar which echoed across the area. From the ground Stygains popped up as with them were Demons known as Hatreds and Envy's. All of them roared out ready to fight Calisto who saw this Demon was certainly a rogue as were the Hatreds. "Ok boys you want to play rough." Calisto said as she then did a few dance steps before taking a battle stance. "Let's dance, baby." Calisto said and thus the Demons went on the attack against the Tri-Breed.
-Insert Bayonetta 2 OST: Tomorrow is Mine-
Calisto charged into the fight head on as the Demons also went on the attack. Weaving through her foes Calisto made short work of the minor demons to get rid of the cannon fodder first. Once that was done, she jumped over and proceeded to perform a drop kick upon a Rage and fired off her heel gun right into the Demons face. The Demon roared out in pain for a but a moment before it's face was turned into a massive hole. Once that was done Calisto then proceeded to use, Witch Time as she avoided another Demons further attack on her person.
This time it was being smart to gang up on her unlike previous demons. Regrettably, it was not smart enough because if it were then it would have known to run before the fight between them had actually begun. Calisto continued her fight making quick work of the demons their gears and bloody parts flew about all over the area they had been fighting.
Calisto smirked as she went to town on her foes. Being part demon, herself was one thing seeing as Demons tend to get stronger the more, they fight. But with her Paternal grandfather being Sparda meant that Calisto had a target painted on her back from the moment that she was born. Calisto then saw Savagery come at her and thus activated her Witch Time to avoid an attack from the demon while slowing time to a crawl around the Umbra Witch. Calisto then used the moment provided to her by, Witch Time to lay down the smack down on the demons.
When time resumed to a normal speed the Demons all felt the onslaught of the blows Calisto laid down on them hit them all at once. Some were sent flying back while others met their ends adding to the Tri-Breeds ever-growing collection of Red Orbs. Savagery then roared out at Calisto and charged her opting Calisto to act fast and avoid the demon's attack. Once she avoided it Calisto fired at the demon and growled when she saw her bullets bounce off its iron hide. Calisto had to figure out a new plan and thankfully she already had one in the works. Thus taking a few shots to avoid several of the demon's attacks on her she sent a wicked weave against it to start off her plan.
The Demon took the full force and in turn Calisto sent a few more to make it dazed in some way. Once the Demon was dazed, she jumped up and slammed her foot into one of its head before spinning and slamming her other foot into the other head. Calisto then grabbed the chains on Savagery's body and wrapped it around both necks and yanking. The Demon reeled back as Calisto continued to pull crushing the necks with her demonic strength. The Demon fought and lashed out trying to force Calisto off its backside but alas the Tri-Breed witch would not budge from her new capture. Savagery had even rammed itself into several walls which failed to remove Calisto from her current spot on its back. Then with a hard yank she managed to cause one of the heads to come clean off and exposed the fleshy bits under the second head. Thus, taking Catastrophe and splitting the sword in two she spun around and proceeded to sever the second head from the demon's body leaving it headless.
-End OST-
The Demons blood spewed out of its severed heads before it fell over which then left the blood oozing out of the nubs. Calisto naturally collected the red orbs from the Demons as she walked on by to continue her quest. But as Calisto continued onward, she noted a path open up causing her to raise her brow to this event. Looking at it she felt a demonic power down the path opted her to go investigate it suspecting it to be the Hell Gate. Going on forth Calisto failed to notice Arty leaning on the wall from a hidden spot watching Calisto go forward.
(Later)
Calisto arrived in a large stage of sorts where she noticed a familiar sight. Walking towards it, Calisto recognized the site of Tartarus whole and waiting stabbing into the ground. "No way." Calisto said seeing Evelyn's sword alone and abandoned. As Calisto walked to it, she moved her hand up the blade feeling the steel on it before she got to the weapons hilt. But just as she was about to grab it Calisto was forced to avoid a surprise attack from a Succubus wielding a Naginata of all things.
"Dammit I missed." The demon said spinning the Naginata a bit before glaring at Calisto who landed safely near her.
"Not bad, not bad at all." Calisto said as she walked to the side a bit "Sneak attack was near flawless you were quiet, deadly, and made no sound." Calisto said as she inspected her newly arrived opponent. "For a Succubus you would make for one hell of a hunter." Calisto said offering this demon her praise especially when she noticed this Demoness had a bow with a quiver full of arrows for her use.
"I suppose I should be honored by your praise, Child of Sparda?" The Succubus said with a growl as she glared at the Tri-Breed Witch.
"Well, no offense but it sure as hell more praise than you'd get from a Child of Artemis… oh wait." Calisto taunted a bit as the Succubus chuckled to this. "So, what you trying to gun for a Child of Sparda or a Child of Artemis?" Calisto asked as she looked to her new foe.
"Can't I have both?" The Succubus asked as she looked to the Witch who possesses the Left Eye of Darkness.
"Guess you want your cake, and you want to eat it too." Calisto said as she then pointed her guns at the new foe ready to fight. "Well don't complain when it tastes bad." Calisto taunted and thus the Demoness took a battle stance.
-Insert Bayonneta OST: Battle for the Umbran Throne-
"Oh, don't you worry about that, Tri-Breed." The Succubus said as she then spun her Naginata before taking her stance. "I'm sure I can endure the taste." She said and thus was ready to battle the Witch.
"Circle of Lust Savage Succubus: Morgan."
Morgan then went on the attack against Calisto who used her guns to deflect the swing of the Succubus Naginata. Following this up Calisto performed a spin kick firing off the guns on her heels for a little added damage. But Morgan managed to counter it with her Naginata redirecting Calisto's foot away from herself. The two parted as Calisto fired off her guns with each backflip she made while Morgan spun her Naginata about deflecting the bullets from Calisto.
Calisto saw this and had to admit her enemy right now had some skills and it was not everyday she faced a Demon that uses other cultures weapons for combat. For Calisto this might actually prove to be a fun battle and she intended to savor every moment of it. Calisto then switched to her swords and went to fight Morgan up close and personal. The two clashed weapons as they with each clash sparks flew between them from the friction of the metals involved.
They parted as they Calisto smirked at her foe while Morgan glared at the Tri-Breed. They ran around each other clashing weapons with the clanging of metal echoing across Limbo. Morgan had every intention to end the Sparda child she was facing while Calisto refused to let anything stand between her and rescuing Bianca's soul. The two foes continued their battle each side intent on winning by any means available to them even fowl, play.
Jumping back Calisto fired off her guns at her foe who easily deflected the bullets only to see Calisto was gone. "Hello." Calisto greeted from behind Morgan and thus received a Wicked Weave punch for her troubles. The Demon was sent flying from the punch as Calisto smirked over what she did while adjusting her glasses a bit for style.
Morgan managed to fix her flight by spreading her wings and gliding back down to the ground. She landed safely and glared at Calisto with a blazing rage for her. "I'm guessing your not the normal sort, are you." Calisto said as she looked at Morgan wondering what her problem was with all that rage.
"Trust me you grandfather and your mother have quiet the reputation down in Inferno!" Morgan called out and went on the offensive to kill Calisto. Calisto for her part dodged the attacks as they came keeping one step ahead of her Morgan the whole time. "In fact, every Pantheon is hated down in Inferno." Morgan added as they parted ways once again. "Norse! Egyptian! Roman! Shinto! All of them!" Morgan called out sending out bolts of magic at Calisto who dodged every one of them.
-End OST-
"Other Pantheons?" Calisto voiced more to herself as that caught her by surprise. But that quickly passed since she should not be surprised other Pantheons still existed in the world. "Well, that's helpful to know." Calisto said as she directed her focus back on Morgan. "Maybe Evan and I should pay them a visit just to see how much shit we can fuck up for them." Calisto taunted in a way to suggest she honestly didn't give a fuck about these other possible existing Pantheons.
-Insert Bayonetta 2 OST: Let's hit the Climax-
Morgan roared in fury and went for the attack as Calisto knew it was time to end this fight now. Thus, spinning around, she allowed her enemy to pass right by her and got ready for an Infernal Summon. "A GRA ORS!" Calisto invoked and in turn began the Infernal Summoning. From the portal she created Malphas flew out and pinned Morgan down with her talons before the Succubus could try to fight back. Once pinned Malphas dug down and dug his beak on Morgan all before she could scream in terror of the action. The Demon Crow did as the Crows feasting on Prometheus and tore into Morgan's innards. When that started and the blood spewed forth only then did the screams of pain and agony of this Succubus was heard by Limbo itself. Once Malphas finished his feast he cried out and then proceeded to return to Inferno until next he was summoned.
Calisto sighed and began to make her way over to the Tartarus unaware of the Naginata starting to stir. When Calisto was at the Tartarus the Naginata shot forth and flew at Calisto in a blinding speed. The Tri-Breed Witch was unable to stop it as she was sent flying to the wall where she was pinned down. Crying out Calisto looked and saw an image forming from the Naginata. "Did you honestly think I was done, Witch!" The woman said as she glared at Calisto with an intense hatred.
"What?!" Calisto asked as she saw the enemy before her.
"That's right the Succubus was just the latest in a long line of vessels my soul my hatred had long since been carved into this blade bathed in the blood of Demons by your grandfather." The woman spoke as she glared at Calisto with unbridled fury. "All for one moment one ideal moment to tear something from your mother something she stole from me Centuries ago!" The woman said and thus looked direct at Calisto who was now struggling against this specter.
"What?!" Calisto asked and then the woman fazed out of the Naginata and hovered about the area.
"Think girl your mother has transformed scored of men who stumbled upon her camp not once considering the wives, mothers, and daughters she robed husbands, sons, and fathers of." The woman said as she hovered around the area. "My husband and son were victims of hers I lost my family to that BITCH!" The woman said as Calisto saw where this was going.
"I called to her, prayed to her asking that she forgives and returns my husband and child to me." The woman said as she recounted that day to Calisto. "And she said to my face, I was better off and had the nerve the gall to ask me to join her hunt!" The specter ranted showing her hatred was genuine and ever burning. "I cursed her, I cursed her name, and I cursed her very existence and while her oath prevented her from harming me her brother on the other hand had no such qualms." The woman spoke as she glared at Calisto.
"Who are you?" Calisto asked as she glared at the specter before her.
"I am Cora the eternal nemesis to Artemis." Cora introduced as she glared at Calisto. "I will not die I refuse to die until my vengeance has been satisfied and Artemis experiences the same pain I suffered." Cora spoke as she glared at Calisto with upmost fury. "And what better way to exact my vengeance then to take a child of hers. A child for a child blood for blood." Cora spoke and thus Calisto realized she was in trouble. Calisto acted fast and reached for the spear only for Limbo to act and restrain her to the wall. "I'm gonna enjoy sending your corpse back to your beloved mother reminding her of all the blood debts she owes." Cora said and thus Calisto clenched her eyes shut as she tried to struggle and get free.
Cora grabbed the Naginata and prepared to end Calisto's life once and for all. "NOW DIE!" Cora cried out and thus Calisto's world went black.
"Power… we need more… power… let the hunt begin release the demon beast and HUNT!"
*Insert Devil May Cry 4 OST: Nero Awakens
The voice echoed within and thus Calisto's eyes snapped open with her left eye flashing with the power of the Left Eye of Darkness. Nearby the Tartarus began to move as it sensed one worthy of wielding its power one who shared the blood of its first wielder Sparda. Rumbling and shaking Tartarus moved as Calisto' demonic blood rose to fore her eyes flashed demonic red as the entirety of her left eye was red. Clenching her fists grinding her teeth Calisto tore her right arm free and from that Tartarus flew into it.
A thousand slashes went around the area as Cora and the Naginata she possessed flew back from the event. Cora gasped in shock as she saw Calisto was freed from her prison. In her Devil Trigger state Calisto was walking forward almost in a trance as her form gave off an aura that mixed with that of the Tartarus.
"HOW?!" Cora demanded as she saw what just happened here.
"A Devil hunts for power and nourishment." Calisto spoke as she approached the specter. "The Hunt imbued the power of the wild into the hunter." Calisto continued her speech glaring at the spirit whom her mother hand long since wronged. "The Hunt consumes but if I must become a Devil to tame the Hunt so be it. I'll endure it." Calisto said while Cora was easing back in fear of the Tri-Breed standing before her. "Anything to protect THEM!" Calisto roared and swung the Tartarus sending forth a powerful slash of power with the sword. Cora managed to dodge it as she was wide eyed at the level of power Calisto had in her hands.
"This isn't over! You hear me this is NOT over!" Cora roared out before she and her Naginata vessel flew off to lick her wounds.
Once Cora was gone Calisto reverted to her human form and fell to her knees. Looking at her hand she saw the Tartarus was still in her hand before she began to laugh to herself. After all she just escaped the grip of death by the hairs on her head. As she sat there, she kept laughing for a tad bit longer before letting the moment pass her.

Calisto began to get back up and glared at the final path available to her. It seems Limbo was still out to get any child of Sparda it could find. Calisto of course smirked as she looked at Tartarus for a moment. Focusing her power, the sheath soon appeared over it as Calisto smirked down to her newly acquired weapons. "Well time to give this bad boy a test drive." Calisto said as she then got ready to use the Tartarus.
Then Calisto slashed the air drawing the blade out in a split second. All of a sudden, a slash appeared on the blocked path which Calisto then smirked seeing things were turning her way. The Tri-Breed Witch was not done just yet as she then proceeded to send several more slashes forth with the weapon. She only needed to do it for, but a few brief moments and those moments were all that was needed.
She then began to sheath the weapon and in turn when the guard hit the hilt the wall came crumbling down before the Tri-Breed Witch. Calisto smirked as once the dust began to settle, she saw what stood before her, the Hell Gate in all its unholy glory.

"Heh as dad would say… Jackpot." Calisto said as she then began to move on forward her goal clear of any more unneeded obstacles. "Don't worry Bianca we'll get there soon just wait a little bit longer for us." Calisto said as she was not going to let Bianca stay in Inferno any longer than she already had to.
(Meanwhile with Bianca's Lost Soul)
Bianca's soul seemed to be trapped in some sort of creature as she was deep in sleep. The Demi-God Witch was in a fetal position as her soul was being absorbed into Inferno as per the rules of the contract she made for her powers. As she rested another Demon was enjoying it as it licked its lips sensually with a desire for human souls. This was the price for the power of an Umbra Witch when the form the contract for power and knowledge. They would slay Angels and offer them to Inferno and upon their death, their souls would belong to Inferno and in exchange Inferno will grant the Witch the dark powers and knowledge as a Witch.
Time was running out for Bianca and the only one who could save her were Calisto and Evan. But with so many obstacles standing in their way it begged to wonder if they would make it in time to save the daughter of Hades from her fate down in Inferno. The Clock was ticking the tole would not wait forever and when the clock strikes then Bianca's soul will be forfeit to the Demons of Inferno. Not only to those into its depths but also those whom the Olympians have wronged in the human world of Chaos in ages past.
