Noki ran off toward the mansion. Her speed was well above average. She could, if she gave all her effort, outrun a cheetah drastically. It was for this reason that she never bothered to drive. The entire time that she ran to the mansion, she thought about what Jester had said. "Me, a descendant of Sparda?" She thought. "Then that would mean that I'm a descendant of Dante and Vergil as well. But there are no records of either of them being alive…. They just vanished…"
She drew one of her pistols and looked at it. On the side of the barrel, there was an inscription. It read "Ivory". "Ivory?" Noki thought. She then put it away and drew the other. The inscription on this one read "Ebony". "Ebony." She said aloud. "I wonder if the 'devil boy' that Jester was referring to could have been..."
She broke away from her musings as she came to the mansion. It was on a hill, just as Jester said it would be. The architecture seemed to have many gothic and neoclassical influences. Noki couldn't help being a little impressed at its design. After studying it a little longer, she entered. Inside, it was hard to tell that this place was abandoned. There was nary a cobweb, or speck of dirt to be seen. The furniture seemed to have not aged at all. And the walls and floors were still sturdy. Noki saw all of this as strange. She cautiously made her way through the dark hallway.
As she walked down the hall, she heard a faint hissing sound. She stopped and listened for it. It resounded again, this time she could tell that it was close. She drew her bastard sword, ready to do combat. Before long, she saw what was causing the noise. For a zombie had burst through one of the doors and crept toward her. She gasped upon seeing it. The corpse wore ancient armor, similar to that of a samurai. As the monster approached her, she brought her sword down, smiting its head through to the neck. It screamed in pain as it disintegrated.
Noki relaxed and sighed afterward, only to hear the footsteps of dozens more of them. She turned around and saw the ranks of samurai zombies that had appeared. "Shit!" She exclaimed while bringing up her sword. These zombies, unlike their fallen comrade, were armed. Some with katanas, others with bows. She saw no alternative but to run into one of the rooms. She put up her broad sword and drew her pistols.
In a matter of seconds, the zombies had charged the room. Noki then went to work filling them with lead. The pistols were effective but the sheer ranks of the zombies were slowly gaining the advantage. She had gotten down to the last five when she ran out of ammo. She went to reload, but her nervous hands dropped the clips. "Damn it!" She exclaimed. The zombie approached, their gruesome visages almost smiling. They were within a hand's breadth of her. She closed her eyes, waiting for the end when suddenly, all she could hear was their infernal blood curdling screams. She opened her eyes and saw the dust that once their bodies at the feet of a young man.
He was dressed in a black hooded jacket which was zipped up, dark blue jeans, and black boots. His hair was a blue hue, and his eyes were purple. Noki immediately recognized him as the person from her dream. "You… You saved my life." She said.
"Are you okay?" He asked as he sheathed his shamshir.
"Um, yes. Thank you." She replied. She then picked up the clips she had dropped and loaded them into Ebony and Ivory. She noticed that he was about to leave. "Wait!" She called.
The young man turned around, looking a bit surprised. "What is it?" he asked.
"I don't even know who you are, or what you're doing here." Noki answered.
"My name is Eiji." he replied. "And I'm looking for the descendant of Sparda"
"Well, I'm not so sure," Noki began. "but you may be looking for me..."
"You're the descendant of Sparda?" Eiji inquired.
"Well, that's what I'm here to find out." Noki responded.
"I see." Eiji said to himself. He then smiled. "If that's the case, then I'll stick around."
"That's okay with me." Noki replied.
As they were on their way out of the room. A large wraith burst through the wall. Eiji drew his shamshir and started to fight it. "Damn it! There's just no end to these bastards!" He yelled.
Noki drew her bastard sword and stabbed the wraith in the heart. It imploded, knocking the both of them away.
"Ow." Noki said, getting up.
"Yeah. They do that." Eiji replied.
"I hate them already…" she said.
The two of them then walked out of the room.
