Hi guys! Hope this was a quick enough update to satisfy you all! ROFL

Thanks to Santuary of Darkness, SaiyAsianMaki, Lee, Wyatt, and Laylah for reviewing this for me...

Ok, next chapter!

Mundus slowly walked in circles around the unconcious Dante, like a hawk looking at its next meal. One of the many guards in the room spoke up. "Is he dead or something boss?"

Mundus turned to him. "Shut up you blathering moron..." He kicked Dante gently, pushing him onto his back. "Of course he's not dead...I won't let him die yet..."

Dante began to talk to himself in his sleeping state, making Mundus croutch down to hear what he was saying. "Ohhh god...yeah...that's the spot...ugnnnnh...harder..."

Mundus became quickly appauled, standing, and kicking Dante hard in the side. "Wake up, you horny, demon slaying pervert!"

Dante woke suddenly, sitting up, his eyes half closed. "Verge?"

Mundus rolled his eyes. "My god...now I have heard everything..."

Dante was still groggy, but now confused as well. "Why? What did you hear?"

Mundus walked to his throne, seating himself on it. "Too much I'm afraid..."

Dante shrugged, standing himself up to face Mundus. As he did, he felt all over his body, realizing that he was disarmed. "Where are my girls Mundus? You know I don't like being apart from them..."

"So I've heard...but do you actually think that I am so stupid as to leave you with weapons?"

Dante though for a minute. "Nah...you're right." He walked over to a large statue of Mundus, looking at it with disgust. "If I had em' you'd be dead by now..."

Mundus laughed. "So where do you think that leaves you now Dante?"

Dante thought hard for a moment. "Is this that whole shit creek and paddle thing?"

Mundus continued laughing. "Yes...you could say that..." He signaled for two guards to grab Dante's arms.

"Heh! Easy on the merchandise, ok guys?...You break it, you buy it..." The guards sneered at him, pushing him before Mundus.

Dante stood in front of the god, smirking. "Just wait until Verge gets here...he's gonna kick your sorry ass SO bad..."

Mundus looked intruiged. "Ahhh, so your brother IS still alive...I thought I could still sense him..."

Dante quickly changed his story, realizing the mistake he had made. "No...wait, I mean that he IS dead...I can't feel a thing...really..."

Mundus laughed. "Bring the syrum..." One of guards brought Mundus a large needle, and stepped away. "Ahhhh, very good."

Mundus stood from his throne, squirting some of the fluid out of the top of the needle. "Now demon slayer, I guarantee that you WILL feel this..."

Dante looked petrified. "What the fuck is that shit?" He squirmed in the guard's arms, trying to get away. "I admit that I've done drugs before, but jesus I don't inject shit..."

"This is a syrum that I had some very special chemist's conjure up for me, before I killed them."

"What the hell is it?" Dante was becoming very scared.

"I'm glad you asked demon slayer. It is a powerful drug that causes it's user to gain phenominal stregnth..."

Dante looked confused. "Then why in the hell would you be giving it me then? So I can make your death a faster one?"

Mundus laughed. "Not exactly..." He rolled one of Dante's sleeves up. "Not only does this drug have that effect, but it also allows me to gain full control of the mind of the user..."

Dante screamed out. "NO MOTHER FUCKER! GET THE HELL AWAY FROM...AHHHHH" He felt the needle shove into his arm, as the syrum was injected. He could feel his muscles tensing, and his mind fading.

Mundus stood back, before waiting a moment, and looking at Dante quizically. "How do you feel solider?"

Dante's eyes began to glow a bright red, and a smile appeared on his face, as he cocked his neck to one side, cracking it. "What are your orders, my master?"

--Meanwhile--

Vergil snuck through the tower's long hallways, followed by Rune, who was swinging his sword around using some of the techniques that his father had taught him.

Vergil turned around. "If you slice me open with that thing...so help me I'll..." Vergil suddenly stopped, using one of his hands to brace the wall next to him, the other grabbing his stomach.

Rune grew concerned. "Dad, what is it?"

Vergil shook his head. "I...I...I don't know...but for some reason, I can no longer sense Dante's presence within me...it's as if he..."

Rune grabbed his father's arm. "Dad...does that mean that we're too late?"

Vergil took a deep breath, tears starting to well in his eyes. "I honestly don't know son. This is the first time in my life, that I have ever felt it..." He turned to look down at his son. "And it scares me to death..."

Rune cocked an eye up. "You get scared? But your like...the toughest damn person I've ever met..."

Vergil hugged his son. "Yes son...even I get scared sometimes...like when I saw Mundus stab you..."

Rune grabbed his father in a tight hug, Vergil returning it. "Don't worry dad...I'm sure Dante's fine...from the little I saw of him, he looked strong as hell too..."

Vergil grabbed Rune by both shoulders, looking into his eyes. "God...you are really smart ya know that? I wonder who's gene's gave you that?"

Rune pulled away, punching his dad lighlty in the arm. "Heh...mom was smart too..."

Vergil wiped his tears away, laughing. "Heh...I'm not saying that she..."Vergil's ears perked up, and he grabbed Rune quickly, pulling him into the closest room with him.

Rune looked puzzled. "Dad? Whats goin..."

Vergil turned to him. "Shhhhhh...someone's coming."

Vergil put his head to the door, seeing if he could hear anything useful, and Rune followed suit, only slightly lower on the door.

"Fan out...we search every every damn room of this place until we find the two traitors!"

Vergil whispered down to his son. "So it would seem that they have discovered us missing..."

Rune nodded, listening.

Vergil in glanced down in horror, as the doorknob begin to turn, and grabbed Rune by his black coat, tossing him lightly in to the middle of the room. He put a hand on his blade, as Rune stood back up.

"Heh...what's the big..."

Vergil put a finger up, silencing him. Rune nodded.

The door started to creak open, letting a sharp trail of light into the dark room, when all of a sudden it was closed as quickly as it was opened.

"Sir! Sir! Mundus requests the presence off all the soldiers in the tower immediatley! Something about a new super solider or something...hurry..."

Vergil heard all of the guards run off, and took a deep breath. "That was too close..."

Rune breathed deeply. "Yeah no shit...I was staring to think that I might actually have to use some of that stuff you taught me..." He sat down on a large wooden chair. "There is one thing I don't get though...Mundus never told me anything about any super solider..."

Vergil scratched his chin. "Yes...that does seem rather odd..." He took a seat on the desk in front of his son, looking in some of the drawers. He then found somthing that made him smile, holding up a small golden orb, and putting it in his pocket. "This may come in handy..."

Rune cocked an eye up. "What was that thing?"

Vergil patted his pocket. "That was a golden orb. It allows for ressurection, upon death."

Rune smiled. "Cool..."

Vergil turned to Rune. "By the way...while we are on the subject of soliders, what is with this miracle syrum I keep hearing about anyways?"

Rune took a deep breath. "The syrum is a powerful stregnth enhancing drug that Mundus devised. He kidnapped some chemists a long time ago, and told them to start development of his "wonder drug". But as he uses it to make the army stronger, what he does not realize, is that it is actually making his army weaker."

Vergil looked confused. "How is that possible?"

Rune looked away. "Several months ago, I uncovered a major flaw in the syrum. I realized that the formula was highly unstable, and was causing protiens in the body to break down..."

Vergil cocked an eye up, smiling. "Ok wonderful...now explain what that means assuming I do not have a degree in molecular biology..."

Rune rolled his eyes. "I means that a little of the drug might not hurt you, but when it is injected in large quantities, the body starts to eat itself from the inside out, until no organs are left...then you die..."

Vergil grabbed his throat, sticking his tounge out slightly. "God...that sounds terrible...but maybe we can use that to our advantage..."

Rune stood up proudly. "I already took care of that several days ago...just before I met you. I ordered all of the troops to start injecting five times more than they were used to everyday."

"So how much time does that give us?"

Rune shrugged. "Not sure, but I would estimate that it would be somewhere around two more days before they all start to die..."

Vergil ruffled Rune's hair. "That's my boy...Now lets get the hell out of here, and see what we can find out about this super solider ok?"

Rune sat looking like he was hiding something.

"Rune...what else aren't you telling me?" Vergil stood over his son.

Rune sighed. "There is also another side effect of the drug, that I guess you should know about. The syrum is also a powerful mind control device. The creatures that Mundus commands only do so because they don't know any better...if it wasn't in thier system, they probabally wouldn't follow him..."

Vergil put his hands on his hips. "Well gee...that's good to know...thanks. Is there a cure?"

Rune nodded. "Yes...since I am the only one who knows about the flaw, I came up with one in case I was ever injected. I haven't had a chance to test it out though, so there is a very real possibility that it either won't work at all, or will do more harm than good.

"Well, keep it close, incase we have to find out..."

Rune nodded, and they exited the room, once again sneaking down the hallways.

--Meanwhile--

Mundus sat in his enormous throneroom, holding his large sword. Thousands of his best soliders, and top generals bowed at his feet. Mundus stood, holding his sword high over his head. "Rise my beautiful army of destruction!" All of the creatures rose, and began to chant Mundus's name.

"Silence!" All of the demons became silent, as Mundus once again took a seat. "As you know we have two traitors in our midst...but I have come up with the perfect plan to kill them both!" Mundus extended his arm to his side. "Meet your new commanding officer..."

A large man, in a black cloak, stepped out from behind Mundus's large throne, the hood hiding his face. His back was adorned with two massive swords, and his boots with large metal dragons.

A hush could be heard over the crowd, as the man stood, head down, and arms crossed.

Mundus began to laugh. "Reveal yourself, my new apprentice!"

The man slowly raised his large arms, putting them up to each side of his hood slowly. As he drew the hood back, all of the demons in the front row stood, drawing thier weapons., and grunting.

Mundus seeing this, became angry. "Sit your foolish asses back down, so that I might introduce you to my new super solider..." He walked over to the man, standing at his side, and putting a hand on the man's large shoulder. "Isn't that right...Dante Sparda?"

The man raised his head, his red eyes rimmed in a dark black substance, and his mouth smiling devilishly. His soft white hair was no longer it's solid silvery color, for it now had black streaks running through the front of it. "That is correct... master..."

Mundus held his sword high once more. "Dante here, is going to find and kill the traitors for us boys!"

The demons began to cheer loudly, as Dante stood before them. "It will be my pleasure sir." Dante bowed.

"Now go servant..." Dante turned to leave, as Mundus stopped him. "I want both of thier heads as proof..."

Dante smirked in an unholy way. "That will not be a problem... I assure you..."

Dante didn't notice, as Akuma slipped into the shadows, and out of the room.
