Dante punched the doors to the throne room. "Damnit!!" The doors had just shut and wouldn't budged. "Krexy can you get to her!?"
"I can not go to her, something is blocking me from doing so!" Krex dematerialised but immediately reappeared. "Its must be some blocking ward on the doors."
"Roszen, kid can you hear me?!" Dante yelled through the doors. "We'll get you out, just sit tight!"
"Stand back!" Lady shouted, holding Kalina Ann a good distance from the doors. The two went to her. Dante playing a hand on the rocket launcher and poured demonic energy into it.
Krex took a step back. "Uh... my friends, I don't think this is a good idea..."
"We don't have much of a choice, let it have it Lady!" She fired the launcher, hitting the grand doors. Smoke and dust was kick forward, blocking their view, but as the dust cleared a ward filled with demonic scripture glowed in the hall.
"It is as I feared..." Krex walked up to the door. "It is Vurnomon's very own Death Arena Ward."
"What?" Lady asked.
"It is a ward the Vurnomon himself made, the surrounding area it "protects" can never be penetrated, from both the outside and in." He took a set. "The only way out is for either the Courtesan or lady Roszen's death."
"There's got to be another way!?" Lady protested. "Dante?"
"The only other way I can think of us killing Vurnomon, but by the time we do that, Roszen could already be dead."
"So we wait?"
"Yes miss Lady."
Date and Lady leaned on the wall or sat down. About five minutes went by before the ward disappeared and the doors slowly opened. The three got up and their weapons ready. A scream of anguish and sorrow from Roszen met them. The rushed seeing sighs of battle all across the room, but they all focussed on Roszen kneeling over the body of the Courtesan.
"Kid you're-" Dante walked up to her first but stopped. "oh shit..." he saw Briallan, dying in her daughter's arms.
"I am... so sorry... my little rosy..." Briallan's voice was broken, but was filled with relief. Bloody tears came as she smiled at her daughter. "I tried... to worn you... but my words... never came out right... or... or were chosen... f-for me..." Lady had her hands in her face trying to fight back the tears. Krex came and knelt down with Roszen.
"We were supposed to save you!" She cried. "We were going to save you, take you home and... and..." She put as much pressure on the wound as she could, but nothing was stopped it. "We were... going to live a normal life again..."
"You did... save me... rosy..." Briallan put a hand to Roszen cheek. "You saved... me from a-a lifetime... of servitude..." Roszen shook her head in disagreement. Briallan brought her sword forward and handing it to her. "You need... t-to stop Vurnomon... before he... he does the... same to you... as he did... me" any color that remained in her face was quickly fading. "With you... Dante... and Lady...you have... a chance to do... w-what I could not..."
Roszen saw the light in her eyes vanishing. "No no no. NO!!" She shook her mother to keep her awake. "Mom, please do leave me!"
"I'll will always be with you... my little rosy..." The sword in Roszen's hand light up in flames of purple. The silver of the sword turned to a rose gold, engravings of roses and lilac flower appeared on it, red and purple flow through the veins connecting to their representatives flower, the crossguard bent upwards into a shape V, on either ends of the guard a small rose and a lilac flower bloomed. Roszen looked to her mother, her body burned to ash and drifted to the blade. "No matter what..." The fading voice of her echoed into her mind.
Roszen couldn't hold it anymore as she let out a wail of all the emotions she held back. Red and purple demonic energy bellowed out from her. The sheer amount of it pushed everyone back. "My lady!!" Krex reach out, but kept getting push back.
"What's happening?!" Lady yelled out, trying not to be blow back.
Roszen's skin started to peal away, as Dante pushed back again the hurricane force winds. "She producing too much energy!" He managed to take a step. "Her body can't handle it, she dying!"
Roszen felt the pain on her skin, but it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart. The Devil Arms that had kept their sentience, tried to calm her. But they were mute compared to her screams.
Dante was about to reach the vortex of demonic energy, the winds pushing back were strong, but he faced stronger. His hand hit the vortex and burning pain hit, like he kept his hand on a hot iron. He gritted his teeth and push forward. "Oh shit, that hot!" He grunted with ease step before long managing to reach her. Putting a hand know her shoulder, the screaming suddenly stopped.
Roszen looked at Dante before he pulled her in his chest. She cried as he spoke. "Kid, I know exactly what you're feeling, Lady does too. We all lost our mothers to monsters, but you got something that neither of us have. You still have her, she may be in another form, and not be able to communicate properly, but you still have her."
Roszen took a few deep breaths, before calming down, apparently. "I'm going kill that bastard..." She marched towards the doors. "Even if it's the last thing I do!"
"Kid! Going as you are now is not a good idea!" He reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
"Why because I'm too weak!" She turn to face him, her anger on full display.
"No, your head's not clear." He pointed to his temple. "A bastard like Vurnomon will mess with your head real quick, before you'll be able to put up your defenses."
"I'm not going to let that bastard live a moment longer." She turned to leaves again.
"Kid clam d-" he placed his hand on her shoulder again, but she turned around and slugged him across the jaw and got sent flying.
"Roszen!?" Lady shouting in shock.
"Fuck off both of you!" Roszen moved to the door a third time. She duck her head as a bullet wized by her ear. She turn to see Dante with one of his pistols out. "Dante don't."
"If you won't calm down on you own," he pulled out Rebellion, "then I'll beat you till you are.
Roszen stared down at him, lifting up Briallan. Flames of purple and red danced along the blade. "Guys we can talk about like adults!" Lady tried to stop the conflict.
"Krexy get her behind so cover," he got into a ready stance. "This might get messy."
Krex did as order and hid with Lady. Roszen barely waited and launched a bladed chain at Dante. Dante batted the chain away with Rebellion then teleported to Roszen with Trickster style. He brought down his sword, but Roszen twisted away and had the chain follow her spin. He blocked the chain again, however the chain wrapped around his blade as she yanked it out of his hands, sending Rebellion flying away and getting stuck in a large stone.
Roszen rushed forward, closing the distance rather quickly, she pulled out a knife and cut at his chest. His eyes widened, she really wanted to hurt him. He trickster dodged behind her and kicked her back. He quickly ducked from the retracting chain as she recovered quickly. He switched styles and prepared for Roszen's next attack. "Any changes?"
"Fuck you!" Nope no change.
Roszen pulled out Luna Rosa and played a fast and harsh melody. Summoning a small firing squad worth of rifles. Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory spin them on his fingers, high above his head, before crossing arms and aiming at her. Roszen opened fired while Dante shot down every bullet she sent his way.
He was about to shot at her, but she disappeared. Her disappearance end when she landed a burning tiger paw on his face. He trickster dodged before she was fully on top of him. He appeared next to where Rebellion had fallen, quality pulling it out of the stone, he sent a kick to Roszen's chin, sending her flying away.
Roszen corrected fall and landed on all fours. She dismissed Hell Tiger Queen, and pulling out Briallan from her back. She gritted her teeth, her eyes changing to gold and red, she dash with tremendous speed and force. Her blade was blocked by Rebellion and they began to fight off the blade lock. "Do you think your mother would want you to go and get yourself killed, without so much as planned, or better yet a clear head!?" Dante said, as he push her blade back
"Shut up! You didn't know her!" Roszen pushed with more force and leveled the lock back. "You never knew her, you didn't even know she was demon!"
"neither did you!" He released the lock by stepping to the side. He grabbed the collar of her jacket, threw her at the throne, then lunched Rebellion after her. Implying her to the throne.
"Dante!!" Lady yelled at him.
"Oh shit!" He bolted to the throne, but before he got there. The eyes of Rebellion's skull cross guard light up, sending energy into Roszen.
Roszen jumped up gasping for breath as power she never knew she had was unlocked. The blade ejected from her as red and purple flames burst out in all directions, her hair turns from red to white, her skin turned red, her eyes changed from blue to gold, with vertical slits, and red scleras, black horns grew near the back of her head, that look like a crescent moon when facing her, two pairs of black wings spouted from her back, and the spade of her tail became sharp as a blade. Her jacket and shirt changed to a black corset like top, and her jeans become tighter and darker. Her armor changed a bit, her right arm gains a shoulder pauldorn, claws on both gloves and feet and her legs gain armor up to her thighs. The engravings of the armor glow a shallow white. Roszen looked down at Dante then at her hands. "Is this... my Devil Trigger...?"
