Don't own Dante or Vergie. I own Accadia and such. Some aspects of a fight coming up, sorry but i ain't good at fighting scenes. i will prolly alter these later tho.
Dante paused for a second at the entrance of the tower. He took a deep breathe, took a good grip of the handles and pulled. The doors slowly creeked opening, crying out in protest of being opened. Dante took one last deep breath and knew it was now or never. He cgather up every ounce of courage, plunged into the darkness of the tower. He entered into a narrow hallway, just wide enough for him to walk straight. At the end of the short hallway stood another door. He was about to open it when he noticed a sign above the door. Luxuria. He knew it was latin and it sounded familiar, but he couldn't figure out the definition. Without giving it much more thought, he yanked open the next door, and entered into a wide open room, with a ceiling at least 20 feet high and a width of almost 30 feet. There was a strong breeze the pulled through the room, and it took Dante a few seconds to readjust himself so he wouldn't get blown away. He looked around this room, taking in the walls. They were something he had never seen before. They appeared to made completely of human skulls, but instead of facing outward, they were all facing toward a partner, almost like they're were kissing, with mere millimeters in between their jaws. The skulls were alive in some sense, as the writhed and wriggled to get away from each other. It was quite particular someone would build a place like this.
He didn't get much time to think things through, though, since the door on opposite end of the wall opened and creatures started to pour out. Thy were made of jell like substances, oozing their way around the room. It really reminded Dante of a six foot amoeba, just a little fast. But just as stupid.
He immediately jumped into defeating these creatures, slashing and slicing into their demon flesh. They were immensely easy, and two stabs of his sword defeated each animal. He breathed a deep sigh of relief as he removed his sword from the last enemy. They hadn't even touched him. Well, one room down, many more to go. Dante holstered his sword back into his back pouch and started to walk for the door. He was about half way there when the earth started to move, and ground cracked beneath him. Dante jumped backwards, making it just in enough time as the ground spilt open. Out came a creature quite grosstique in nature. he was a mixture of animals, with the chest of a man, goat legs ending in talons, serpent tail, three heads (one of a man spitting fire, one of a ram, and one of a bull), riding a lion with dragon wings and neck. At the same times, his three heads cried out.
"Welcome Dante. We are here to stop you so you get no farther than Luxuria. We are Asmodai. Do you think you can make it to the next level of hell?" The man in the middle spat out.
"I will defeat you, and destroy anybody else to save Accalia!" Dante cried back, exaiming the man quickly with his eyes. He had to have a weakness somewhere…
"And it is that lust that will consume you!" The beast cried, and lunged forward. Dante jumped at the last second, and landed on the middle head, the human one. He pulled up his sword, and started to thrust it downward when the head realed back and flung him. Dante's body smacked up against the wall and slowly slid down with a thud. He stattered to his feet. He was barely upright when the middle head spit fire at him, and he dodged to get away. He noticed that his body ached like it had never before, and he wondered if this place was sucking the life from him. It seemed able to stop him from healing as quickly as he normally could.
There was another burst of heat directed towards him, and Dante rolled at the last second. He had though he had escaped it until he smell the animal snech of burnt leather. He glanced down, and the edge of the left side was smoldering. "Oh, god damn it, that's it! You ruined my jacket!" He hissed. He jumped towards the beath, and as it spi more flames out, he barrel rolled and missed it. He landed on the back of the animal it rode, and Asmodai struggled to get its head around to see him. But since they were so tighty together, none of them could whirl around, and its small human hands were unable to reahc. Dante lifted his sword high in the air, and jabbed it into the back of Asmodai. The beast screamed and lurked forward. Dante ripped the sword out as violently as he could, hopeing to take out a few vital organs with it. He then send the sowrd down, in the half lion dragon beast. It too howled, and dropped to its knees. It staggered there, whimpering. Dante took a deep breath, and climbed off his prey. He walked to the head of Asmodai, to make sure it was dead. He wasn't, but he would be soon. The human head could barely talk, and struggling to try to make out words.
"Dante, you have defeated me and now you will have my assitences. I am now your servant. Take the orb this body will leave behind; it will enable you to use flame bullets with your guns." And with its last words gasped out, all three heads collasped in a thunderous echo. The body started to slowly fade away, and soon resting in the spot was a small orb, the size of a basketball. It glowed a bright red, na dhad a mixture of orange and red clouds swirling inside it. Dante bent over and picked it up. As he looked at it, the clouds faster and quicker in movement. It appeared to almost feed off of Dante, like Accalia when she felt his heart beat getting faster.
He slipped it into one of the inside pockets of his jacket and continued towards the door at the far end of the room. He yanked open the door, and sighed deeply. There was a rickety, narrow, spiral stair case. Dante stood at the base and looked upwards. It appeared to just go on forever, and Dante couldn't tell if there was floors along the way, or if it went right to the roof. "Oh, damn. Well, it's time to climb." He bolted up the stairs, taking them two at a time.
