DEVIL MAY CRY: Dante's awakening
Chapter 2
The door flew off its hinges and Dante stepped out, a cool breeze hit his bare chest. The surrounding was all fucked. Rubble and building debris crumbled to the ground and turned over cars and a yellow school bus with one wheel missing— and all just outside of his shop.
Just in front of him also stood five lousy, Hell Lust, slowly making their way toward him. Dante turned to look at his precious building.
"Damn it. You guys totally wrecked my shop! And I haven't even named it yet! You guys are gonna pay for that!" Tossing Rebellion high into the air, he swung his coat off his shoulder and inserted his arms into both sleeves. With perfect timing, he caught his sword and aimed it to the ground.
Perfect pose, Dante. He grinned inside. Oh no, what's this—
Dante's head tilted back, nose itching, eyes closing and—
"ACHEW!"His head came forward with a sneeze.
Something rumbled from behind. Dante turned and witnessed that the roof of his shop had collapsed now unable for him to re-enter.
NO, no, no! I just bought this place! FUCK!
Facing the Lusts again, which were even closer, he pointed his blade at each of them. "I hope you all have enough to cover for this!"
One of the Lust demons swung and Dante blocked with his sword. Pulling Ivory, holstered on his jacket behind him, he aimed at its green-eyed face and fired away. The other four jumped back to avoid their demise, but their evasion didn't stop Dante.
"Are you ready!" And with lightning speed, he dashed forward with a streak of read coming up from behind him and swung Rebellion.
Rebellion's blade flew in ever direction, catching each Lust demon that appeared from thin air, slicing and dicing each on into pieces. Five more then appeared and Dante finished off his Dance Macabre with him rapidly stabbing two of the Lust with a quick Million Stab of Rebellion and suddenly he rammed the blade into the ground and spun around it, kicking two into oblivion. He then came to his feet, with Rebellion in hand and gave a fierce swing, cutting the last Hell Lust into dust.
"Down and out!" He roared.
From afar, Dante heard a noise. Something like a crying scream— or laughter. It stood on the highest building and vanished in a cloud of black smoke. Dante tried following its every move, but it was obviously too fast, even for him. It now stood on the smallest rooftop and Dante stared at it. The creature highly resembled a Grim Reaper, with glowing blue eyes, a black, shredded cloak and a scythe where the blade matched it glowing pupils.
This should be fun. Dante smirked.
Dante had recognized this demon. It was known as The god of death, the one that managed the dead souls. The creature appeared in front of him, twirling its deadly scythe over its head and letting out a loud, shrieking laughter. Before it could swing, Dante back flipped out of its way, aimed Ivory and fired.
KABANG!
The bullet smacked into ground as the Hell Vanguard vanished, only leaving a dark cloud behind it. Dante, with his guard up, surveyed his surrounding trying to pinpoint its next appearing act.
Where are you! C'mon!
From behind, it appeared. Dante, too late spun and the handle of the scythe went across his face. Dante flew into a green trash dumpster, denting it out of its rectangular shape.
"Whoa!" He shook his head; he had the wind nearly knocked out of him. He looked up to see it had vanished again and only seen was the remains of the damn black cloud.
The shrieking laugh was closer. Dante looked up and there it was, standing on top of the dumpster and swung its scythe. It slashed its weapon down and Dante rolled out of the way. The scythe stuck inside the dumpster and the Vanguard struggled to pull it out. Dante ran at it and backwards flip kicked it in the face, stumbling it against the building wall.
He had learned that kick from a popular video game. One of the characters name Guile from Street Fighter did a move similar to that called the Blade Kick. Dante just never knew it was possible to do, until now.
The creature, disappeared again, but this time Dante was ready. It appeared from behind and he spun with his sword and swung. The Vanguard blocked, but its scythe broke into two. Dropping its mutilated weapon it stared at Dante in complete awe, now slowly backing away.
"What are you gonna do now?" Dante smirked, raising his sword. "YAH!" He swung and the creature vanished.
Pussy!
Suddenly, just a few blocks away, the ground shook and pealed open and out shot a building, erecting into he sky, above the horizon and over the dead city.
Dante looked up, his vision as sharp as a hawks saw him standing at the very top. The man he sworn he'd kill if they'd ever meet again.
"It's been nearly a year since we've last met. Where does the time go? No doubt you've got some fun planned for me… Dante started walking to the eerie building, "Right Vergil?"
Looking up as he walked off, Dante saw the largest creature swimming across the sky, circling the long tower.
