When Kiana woke up, it was at the sight of the RV's roof. The vibrations told her that it was in movement.

Drowsy, she headed to the front, instinctively dodging the dangerously placed things put hazardly there without rhyme or reason. Her body was already accustomed to the many times she fell down due to not taking notice of the dangers for her feet.

"Augh!"

… Or maybe not.

"Hey, kid. You're finally awake." The older white haired driver spoke to her.

"For my misfortune. Auch." The young Kaslana complained while rubbing the hurt parts of her body. Inhuman resilience didn't translate well into pain tolerance.

Dante rolled his eyes. "You know, this wouldn't happen if you weren't to buy all those comics and video games. They're everywhere in this tiny piece of junk!"

"Need I remind you that you brought this 'tiny piece of junk' because it was cheap, without minding over the space?" Kiana grumbled when she sat in the companion seat, now dressed with her usual hoodie and eating an energy snack. "And your gun and porn magazines occupy as much space as my stuff."

"You may complain about them all you want but I know how much you love reading them, especially the porn ones." Dante counterattacked, leaving Kiana with a reddened face. "I don't mind if you're gay. In fact, it's good to discover and accept your own sexuality as soon as possible. Gay rights across the world are gaining traction these last years. You should be proud of yourself."

He smirked "Of course, that also means I have a fellow enjoyer of the feminine figure to talk good shit with."

"Pfft!" Kiana snorted. "You may be an ass most of the time but you're still an incredibly hilarious and pervert guy."

"I live to please. Please and annoy." He remarked with a proud smirk.

They both laughed at that.

"I've been dreaming." Kiana spoke after a while of silent driving. "Of the day we both met."

"Yeah." Dante answered. "I remember it took me a while to make you respond while in the middle of that fire. Only to confuse me with your old man."

"Seriously, you're both too similar." Kiana mumbled.

"Hey, it was a shock for me too. You brought me to your house to feed me pizza and stuff." Dante paused, considering if to continue. "You also were adamant on the disappearance of your father, so you chose to wait for him."

"Yeah… however, he didn't return." Kiana sighed softly. "What about you, don't you have a home to return to?"

"I wish. However, without the Yamato, I can't open a portal and I have no way to contact my other acquaintances, the ones with an idea of dimensional travel." He smirked in mirth. "Bet they're searching for me, if not for sentimentalism, to have some debt paid or just have a beef with me." Dante wonders if Vergil and Nero want some rematch with him. Or annoy him. Wait, what if they double team against him? … They would. Cheaters!

Honkai Will Cry

""ATCHOO!""

"Think Dante is talking about us?"

"Presumably. When we encounter him, do you prefer one versus one or both against him?"

"What do you think? I've yet to humiliate him at his finest, not when he's tired."

"Good. You're learning."

"... With all those beatdowns you're giving me, of course I do. Argh. I still have the bruises.

You sure aren't angry for winning against you that time?"

"... Preposterous. And I was exhausted from my battle with Dante, so it didn't count."

"Of course it fucking did!"

Honkai Will Cry

"Um… well." Kiana averted her eyes. "If you were to find a way to your world, you'd take it, right?"

Dante's expression turned solemn. "Yes, I would… but not before watching kick your old man's ass!" He energetically rubbed Kiana's hair, messing it more than it already was.

"Hey! Watch it!"

Dante laughed out loud but his victory would be short lived for the tuna counterattacked! WITH TICKLES!

"Bwa! Stop it! I'm driving!"

"Nevah!"

As much as this would be a disaster in the making, they were interrupted by an alarm. Reaching into her dad's old phone, Kiana read it.

"Honkai alert?"

Dante's supernatural instincts sensed some vibrations from the ground they were driving on. A quick check on the back mirrors revealed the cause.

The cars from the back were flying due to a stampede of Honkai Beasts coming towards them! Especially the one looking like a giant warthog-elephant thingy leading them!

He snapped his fingers. "Music!"

[Play Room DESPAIR by Aimee B from the DMC Animated Series]

Kiana snapped back "Guns!"

Twin high-tech pistols twirled on Dante's hands before flying into Kiana's. "Locked and loaded! Care to do the honors?" He dramatically showed their vast array of firearms on their backs!"

"Dibs on the rocket launchers!" Kiana kicked her side's door open before jumping on the roof with a graceful pirouette despite having both heavy bayoneted bazookas strapped on her.

"Hey suckers!" She shouts to the Honkai Beast wave menacingly coming towards them, crashing whatever ends up in their path. "Bet you didn't have breakfast." She combined both Kalina Anns into a single, bigger cannon, which was humming up with energy. "So why don't you eat… THIS!" With a bloodthirsty smile, she fired the Mega Cascade!

The mega laser death beam of doom ate through most of the Honkai horde frontline, making them explode into silicon bits. And though the Ganesha survived, it didn't end unscathed from the attack.

"Tough customers, aren't ya? WOAH!" She had to duck in order to avoid an Archangel's tackle, not to say that a flock of the damn things surrounded their vehicle.

Growling, she stabbed the bayonets into the roof and unloaded a twin barrage of micromissiles that blasted them off the skies.

"Hey! Mind the roof! Repairs cost money!" Dante complained while one-handedly shooting an Archangel about to enter through the window. Of course, he cared more about the RV. The flying Honkai Beast was more of a fly for him, to tell the truth.

Bye, bye, Archangel. May we continue blasting your kind before you extinguish ours.

And due to Dante not watching the road, he didn't take notice of a pair of Knights waiting for an ambush, lances ready to impale the vehicle and its driver with merciless intent.

Unfortunate for them, this was a Devil May Cry RV, especially one driven by Dante, of all people.

And that's important why?

Because those two elements don't give two fucks about the laws of physics and common sense.

Instead of destroying the van, the van simply continued forward, equine Honkai dying cries sounded as the vehicle genocided them.

When Dante turned back to see the front, he only splattered zombies on his windshield as if they were flies.

… Wasn't that comparison already used?

Dante simply activated the wiper.

Awkward.

Though that doesn't mean it didn't have any impact. Kiana, surprised by the bump, was thrown out of the roof. Quickly aiming Kalina Ann II, she shot the wire-connected harpoon into the butt, or whatever passes for one, of a surviving Archangel.

The sudden sensation of having it's not existent ass pierced made the poor guy fly in a panic, shaking Kiana like a ragdoll until she dangerously neared the rapidly approaching asphalt at highway speeds, forcing her to make use of her running legs to not end up as a bloody skinned corpse with a long red mark on the road.

The scene looks like something of an action-comedy film but make not mistake, that maneuver is dangerous and tiring as hell even for most superhumans.

More dangerous is the pissed off Ganesha hot on her heels!

"Comeoncomeoncomeoncomeon!"

Without thinking twice over her increasingly endangered lifespan, she chose to do a Dantesque action. And by Dantesque, we mean incredibly stupid, crazy and once again, dangerous for most people: She aimed the other Kalina backwards and fired a point blank rocket to the Ganesha, using the power of the explosion to impulse towards the air!

A certain Soldier would be proud of her.

Hitting the reeling mechanism, she added a little more momentum to herself by yanking off the Archangel and kicking it off the bazooka's bayonet towards the gravely injured Emperor Beast.

That last impact was the last straw for it and knocked it down, its interrupted momentum making the last of its horde to crash into it, finishing all of it off.

Kiana crashed onto the roof and rolled a bit on it before grappling onto it for dear life, breathing hard for the intense marathon/50 meter dash/encierro de San Fermín hybrid race she just ran.

"Too… tired! So soon… in the morning! Need… food! And water!"

And to top it all off, Dante's head showed through his window.

"Not bad for some morning warm-ups, eh, brat?"

The tired tuna's veins tensed in wishes of strangling that white-haired bastard.

Honkai Will Cry

In the dark recesses of the mind, a Queen resides, dormant but not unaware.

And is planning for ways to delete that devil, who was proving himself to be even more of a cheater than the Kaslana man that he resembles. Her host sure had uncanny luck to encounter a man like him.

The otherworldly dark powers that the hunter possesses are far too tempting to claim but his feats as well as the outlandish stories he tells paint him as out of her league even if she had the gifts that her Goddess gave her. It's safer to throw him far, far away or eliminate him forever.

But no matter, even if she cannot emerge, her vessel's senses still fed her with information about the red devil, especially his fighting style and his habits, not to talk about her vessel building strength and experience under his tutelage. That would be extremely vital in figuring out a way to deal with him.

Normally, she would be in a hurry to take over her host and show her dominance but past experiences against other white haired bastards that overpowered her in the past humbled her a… tiny, little bit. So she's grateful for the wait. She has all the time in the world until she's confident enough to take on that man. And enact her revengeance onto the Kaslanas, Schicksal and the rest of the world.

For Divine Judgement is inevitable and the Honkai, Her Messengers. And she won't let a pathetic, slobbish, pervert, flippant, overpowered demon get in the way.

But first, her host needs to eat after that last battle. She hopes the dumbass would eat noodles. They are a dish worthy of a Queen, after all.

An: ALL HAIL THE QUEEN! Jokes aside, Sirin is still aware of everything that happens to Kiana despite not being the dominant personality and she's beginning to realize how much of a menace Dante is. She knows that facing him off it's just plain suicide and that he's virtually immortal. The latter she knows about because Kiana was witness to Dante's insane healing factor and resilience. Let's just say it wasn't pretty for a child to watch considering how the pizza man considers being impaled in the chest and shot to the head multiple times to be an annoyance.

However, that doesn't mean she can't try to win through other means. How? I won't tell!

I'm trying to figure out the exact amount of over the top action and narm humor that would be typical of a DMC story so I decided to throw in a chase sequence battle this time. WITH A HONKAI STAMPEDE!

I considered continuing the previous chapter flashback but the battle scene was more prominent in my head so I decided to instead begin with a typical morning talk as well as a heartwarming moment. Maybe I'll continue that flashback part later.

For those not in the know, especially for non-Spanish people, an encierro is an event typical of the festivities of San Fermín/Saint Fermin of the Spanish city of Pamplona and basically consists of people running away from bulls. Yeah, it's as crazy as it sounds and I don't understand completely why people do that even when I know it's a festivity from my country (I don't live in that particular zone by the way) but considering this is a story about two crazy awesome people, they both would just laugh it off and improvise a rodeo there.

Now that I think about it, how would the rest of the Sparda family and the DMC agency react to Kiana (before and after character development?) and vice versa? Especially the late Eva and Sparda due to having a great niece.

Sparda… Yamato... Long-lived monster hunting warriors... Mmm. That's giving me an idea. And a whole set of headaches for a certain fried birb in the past ;)

By the way, for anyone watching Honkai meme videos on Anime Enjoyer's channel, YATTA! I've seen someone referencing this fic while commenting on Honkai Memes #82, minute 5:51 (the one about Deadpool saying Dante is Siegfried's reincarnation). Thank you! I only need a TV Tropes page about this fic or others I've been writing… as if that would happen.
