Along Came Death
Lost Souls
(Note: I don't own anything of DMC, also, please read this chapter closely, as many questions are going to be answered.)
"… The real Cerberus was one that had accepted defeat, and grafted his soul into power, in the form of a weapon." Dante quickly whipped out the three headed nun chucks, and started to whip them around his body lightning fast. "He gave himself up to the one who defeated him. And I am sure that he would like to say something."
In a flash of blue light, the walls frosted over, and the room grew into an eerie chill. The cold air made the hair on the back of Danunte's neck stand up. Steam rose from the occupants of the room, making the once majestic room into a fog ridden battlefield. But, in the end, Danunte noticed something, and apparently, Dante noticed it first.
There was no steam rising from the body of the so called Cerberus. That meant that he had a cold body. But before he could make anymore conclusions, an ominous figure stepped out of the remaining light. The figure also had three heads, and had a blue color skin and ice, layered over its body. Danunte watched the creature and its movements, and tried to make a few more observations. The creature was still bathed in an icy aura, and it gave off no steam. This fact confused Danunte even more. Dante broke the silence. "This is a little something that I learnt during peaceful times. I can call upon the soul of Cerberus, infused within this weapon." Danunte realized that it was, in a way, a summoning of a lost soul. He looked at his father, and noticed something; his father looked focused, almost in a trance. He heard his father, mutter something quietly,
"Danunte, reach into the bag, pull out the Ivory pistol, and let any instinct take over."
Danunte followed the instructions down to the word. He hastily opened the bag, and took out the Ivory colored pistol. And from there, his body took over, leaving thinking for later. He ran to the side of his father, dashed to the wall, ran up the wall, and jumped off. In the air, he took aim, and fired at the Cerberus that was staring him down, with the fire, ice, and electricity coursing through it. The bullet hit the mark, and he was surprised at the sound of the impact.
"Kling", the sound was the sound of metal hitting metal.
Danunte landed near his father, and heard something in an unfamiliar voice,
"Nice shot, almost as good as your father."
Danunte swung around and noticed the Cerberus his father had summoned had talked. Dante said his thoughts, "Well, it is kind of easy to hit a target that's joints and wires have been frozen over." Danunte's suspicions were confirmed, the Cerberus that he shot was made of metal. It was a robot, and where he shot it, there was a clean hole.
Danunte stumbled back, and Dante turned to the Cerberus he summoned,
"Nice seeing you again, but you have to go now; something tells me that me and my son are going to have to kick some ass."
Cerberus replied, "So it seems". And then Cerberus vanished in the chilling blue light...

Questions, give me a question in a review and I will answer you. Remember, re-read this chapter before you ask. I'll answer a question a friend asked me as I typed this.
Q: Dante summons Cerberus as a soul. How does he do that?
A: I thought for a minute, and then I said, "Dante has to practice sometimes, so I made up a skill he could have learnt over the years. THIS IS NOT IN THE GAME OF DMC 3.
