Forever Hunters
Devil May Cry/Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Dante gets called by Giles to Sunnydale to train Buffy in order to highend up her skills. Unknown to the Buffy gang though is Dante's true being and the new danger both of them will face.
Chapter 5: Shooting and digging
Buffy took a deep breath. Tightly gripping the mini crossbow in her hands, she carefully aimed at the target 30 meters away: a crashdummy from some driver school nearby. She hit the target in the head. Finally, after emptying 2 clips ala 5 arrows already. Apart from that she almost used any firearm during this training. Her arm already ached like she had been doing more than 200 one-hand pushups. Dante clapped his hands behind her.
"Well seems like you finally hit something!"
"These things are useless! You just miss everything with it! Why the hell did you build these things anyways!"
Buffy threw the mini-crossbow at him. Dante caught it and looked at its construction. Then he stepped foreward towards the range and shot the dummy. Headshot! He handed the weapon back to Buffy and returned to his seat.
"Well seems nothing wrong with it. Comon you gotta be confident with every weapon you can find! You don't have time to think too long how to aim and use weapons. It must go like a click! Or is your cerebral cortex too weak for that job?"
Buffy did not care anymore what he said. She took the hand axe from the table and threw it spinning at the dummy. The head was sliced in two upon impact of the axe. Buffy faced her trainer again.
"Well, I think I'll stick to the old ways of killing!"
Dante smiled. That girl got some guts ... and skills. But she still needed some work. And he had an idea how to prove it. He removed Ivory from its holster and handed it to her.
"Aim at me!"
Buffy was confused what the hell he wanted to show but she did what he told her. Dante started his small lesson.
"Think you can shoot me?"
"Gladly!"
"Then do it!"
"What the hell are you doing?"
"What's the matter? Now chicken out?"
"Give me one very good reason why to shoot you!"
"I thought you have many!"
"That is true but this is..."
Buffy could not finish the sentence. Neither could she pull the trigger fast enough. With a quick hand grip Dante removed the slide from the gun rendering it completely useless. Buffy was stunned. It was to fast for her to even notice that the slide was gone. Dante returned to his lesson.
"That is one reason why I wanted you to get to know weapons of any kind! Knowing the basic functions and how they work can help to avoid any battle."
Dante took his gun back.
"And by the way, you forgot the safety too..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Man, there is nothing in this trash!"
"Hey, stop complaining Xander. There is always something..."
Dawn, Xander and Willow were digging around in almost any medium to find something about Dante. But there was nothing on this guy. Just some bits and pieces about his occupation, an address nothing more. The door opened and Anya stepped in with some pizza and coke.
"Thought you might be hungry since you are burying around in some guys past like the worms..."
"Oh, thanks Anya." Willow closed her laptop. "Guys think we earned a little break."
Everyone agreed and sat down at the table to enjoy the food. Dawn and Xander yawned. They were tired already from the search. Almost five days have gone since they started and they found info mainly about the word Sparda.
"So what have you got?"
Anya brought some glasses from the kitchen and filled them with coke.
"Only the Sparda story..."
Dawn continued.
"A devil knight who had escaped from hell and fought a devil emperor. He supposedly died in the human world protecting it against demons. Books call him the Legendary Dark Knight."
Anya took a slice of pepperoni pizza and chewed it hungrily while she talked about Sparda.
"Yeah, I know. Did a lot of these things supposedly alone. Very strong demon if he actually defeated a devil emperor alone."
Dawn, Xander and Willow stared at her.
"So you let us sit here and rott while you were enjoying life outside?"
Anya nodded her head with a grin.
"Yeah seeing people suffer makes me happy. But these are just rumors that I heard. I can't be 100% sure. Well I know now that they are."
"Well, nice going!" Xander was pissed enough already. Since the breakup with Anya, she bacame more of an annoyance than a friend. Well, it was partly cause of himself since he chickend out at their wedding. Enough of that! He reached for a pizza slice. Willow was worried about their info gathering process.
"Well what should we tell Buffy now?"
"That we know nothing more than about Sparda?"
Dawn zipped on her coke uninterested by her sister's reaction to their work. She is just focused on her sister's trainer. What does he actually like apart from guns....?
"Well we could make it sound interesting, can we?"
"I think Buffy would just accept it like always... oh and OK..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The wind blew soft and silently through the streets of Sunnydale. Owls were singing their songs of the night and the lights of the houses were disappearing with every minute passing by. The living were going to rest from the day. It was a clear, silent night as usual. Well, if we would have taken out the graveyard it would have been a clear, silent night as usual. Because on there, hell broke loose. Inside the dust and the loud noise, Dante, Spike and Buffy were all busy killing vampires. Dante was shooting wildly, Spike had 3 vamps to deal with and Buffy was staking like mad. It wasn't enough though cause a group of zombies dropped by too for the bloodlust.
"This is better than the boxer rebellion!"
Spike was overwhelmed with the joy of battle. He hasn't seen so many enemies at one spot yet. Buffy and Dante had other worries though. Dante now switched for his Sparda to deal with the masses of enemies incoming. Buffy instead got surrounded by hungry vamps and zombies. Dante noticed the situation of his student.
"Get down!" he screamed at Buffy and threw the Sparda like a boomerang at the circle. Buffy held her hands over her head only watching the spin of the sword and listening to the metal piercing into flesh. After it was all over she saw a hand reaching for her.
"I wonder how many tricks you still have with that thing." she said while grapping Dante's hand.
"Too many I guess... You have improved I am glad that it turned out that way. Though you still need work on fights with masses."
Buffy replied back with the usual "yeah, yeah, sucker" line. She walked over to Spike, who was removing all the dust from his coat.
"You OK?"
"Never been better, sweety..."
"You know you lines never work."
"I know..."
They wrapped up the talk and rejoined with Dante, who was reloading his guns.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dante sat again on his place nearby Buffy's window on the roof, cleaning his twin handguns. It has been some time now since he joined the group. He also knew that they did not trust him yet as a member cause he overheard them talking about him and their research. All they could find about was Sparda, his father... Dad. seems like more than 2000 years ago when he left for the spiritual world. The same goes for Eva and Vergil, his mother and brother whom he lost to that big-mouth Mundus. He watched the stars shimmering on the clear sky.
"Folks, I hope I am doing the right thing... right too..."
Unknown to Dante was the shadowly figure who watched from a tree branch nearby. He spied on him since Dante arrived in Sunnydale, his fights, his training with the slayer, almost everything. Apart from the toilet jobs of course! Well anyways, the shadow had seen enough. Soon he would meet him in person, for a small trip back to history. But for now, he'll let it be. He jumped off the tree and disappeared into the dark night.
