DVYL May Cry

Once again, Teams DVYL and RNBW were in Ozpin's office. All of them happy they had managed to get Yang back from Mundus' clutches. Ozpin and Goodwitch were just as happy and everyone was waiting for Vergil to show up so they could figure out what to do next. Ruby was still hugging her sister tightly while Qrow wasn't too far away. Both probably feeling if they strayed too far, she may disappear again.

Dante just smiled and was going to give the family their time alone. But as he was going to walk over to Ren and Nora, he felt someone grab his wrist. He turned around to see that it was Yang. She had a pleading look in her eyes and he couldn't say no. So, he walked behind them and wrapped the sisters in his arms, Yang on his right and Ruby on his left. With Yang in his arms, the last traces of tension left her body and she fully relaxed into his form. Dante couldn't be happier by having her in his arms again, safe and sound.

Not much longer after that, one of Vergil's portals opened up and outstepped the man himself. He walked out with a briefcase in his other hand. "Sorry I'm late but if we're going to fight Mundus…" He raised his briefcase, "I thought Dante could use this."

Dante raised an eyebrow and looked down at Yang, asking her a silent question. She gave an exaggerated sigh and nodded. That caused him to grin at her and leave a gentle kiss to her forehead before he let her go again. "What do you have for me now?" he asked as he walked over to Vergil.

Vergil placed the briefcase on Ozpin's desk and stepped to the side with a small grin, "See for yourself." Dante opened the case and inside was a new firearm. It was metallic and grey in color and was about the size of Ebony and Ivory. It had a trigger like most guns with a mint green handle. The piece that stuck out the most was the grey, ancient imprinted component where the barrel should be.

Dante picked it up with a raised eyebrow, thoroughly confused. Vergil spoke up to clarify it for him, "This firearm isn't like the others in your arsenal and is a powerful demon weapon. Instead of the bullets, it fires explosive darts that will stick to its targets. They will stick until you detonate it with your energy. And at your strength, you should be able to use six darts at once."

Vergil then pointed to the component in question, "This will spread and split into segments that will reveal a teal energy at the epicenter. That will produce the 'shards' that'll act as the darts. It doesn't have a name but after some thought, I've come up with-"

"Kablooey!"

Vergil stopped and the twins turned to a grinning Nora. "Kablooey?" Vergil asked her.

She nodded vigorously, "It's perfect!"

Vergil looked from the grinning ginger to her boyfriend that was holding her from behind. He gave a half-hearted shrug as his answer. He then turned to his twin brother who shrugged too, with a grin, "You heard her. Its name is Kablooey."

Vergil just stared at his brother before he sighed and looked down. He started to massage his forehead, "Fine. Kablooey. Whatever."

That caused Dante to chuckle at his twin's misfortune. As he was doing that, he holstered the newly christened Kablooey to the right side of his belt, opposite to where Revenant was. "Alright, so with everyone here, let's start trying to figure out where Mundus is held up."

With those words, the entire office took on a more serious air. "Dante is right." Ozpin spoke up. "We must figure out where the Demon King is. If you two are right, he should be weakened after that attack near the docks." That made the room grow forlorn, thinking of just how many innocent people were killed or injured during that incident. "Luckily, we were able to hide the truth by saying it was a Dust explosion since there was demolition going on not far from it."

"That attack would've drained Mundus of a great deal of his strength." Vergil spoke up after he removed the briefcase from Ozpin's desk. "Demons recover their strength much slower while in Remnant. The stronger they are, the more time it takes. Mundus will either have to wait to regain his spent energy or he'll have to return to the Demon realm to accelerate that process. But considering how close he is to initiating his plans, I highly doubt he'll try the latter."

Dante continued with the train of thought. "The energy he released also gave Vergil and I the opportunity to get a bead on his location. It is nowhere close to exact but it was easily coming from the southeast. Outside the Kingdom."

With that information, Ozpin brought up a map on his desk and zeroed in on the southeastern area outside of Vale. "That may have given us a direction to look in but that is still a huge area to look through." Weiss being the logical voice, brought up.

"Yes, you are right about that." Vergil turned from her to Yang, "But we're hoping that Yang could enlighten us on where they kept her."

Yang stiffened slightly and Ruby hugged her tighter in response. Yang took a deep breath while closing her eyes. She slowly exhaled before looking down at her little sister with a reassuring smile. "It's okay, Ruby. I can do this."

Ruby just looked at her for a bit before she gave a small nod, "Okay." She then let go of her.

Yang just smiled and gently ruffled her hair. She then walked over to stand between Vergil and Dante while looking at the map. "I don't remember much after going into…" she looked back to Dante, "Limbo?"

Dante nodded, "That's not a surprise. People aren't supposed to be able to enter Limbo in the first place. The strain must've caused you to pass out."

She nodded, "Right." She turned back to the map. "When I came to, I was chained to a wall in some sort of run down building, practically a ruin. There wasn't much light either. Any light I saw was artificial. So maybe it was underground and away from the sun?"

She looked down and gently grabbed her right arm with her other hand. "I didn't see much outside of that room I was in. Honestly, the only person I really saw was this short woman. She had a real Neapolitan ice cream trend going on." She took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. "If I tried to get out of my restraint or tried to escape…she'd hurt me. Sometimes it was just punches or kicks. But other times it was with her blade." She started to shake a bit, falling into her memories. "I knew she wasn't going to kill me, Mundus wanted me alive…but she just took so much joy out of hurting me. I-if it wasn't for her orders…I'd be…I-I'd be…"

She started to break down before two arms wrapped around her and her face was in a familiar shoulder. Dante leant down to whisper in her ear, "It's okay, Spitfire. You're away from all that. You're safe now. You're safe."

She held her boyfriend tightly, like a lifeline. "He wanted you to come for me, Dante. He was going to kill me in front of you. To hurt you." She looked up at him with teary eyes. "I'm so sorry I wasn't strong enough. I'm sorry I almost got you-"

She was stopped when his hand went to the back of her head and gently pushed her back into his shoulder, "None of that. You have nothing to apologize for." He gently kissed the side of her head. "You got pulled into this because of me. And I swear, he'll never lay a hand on you. Never again."

She nodded into his shoulder and held him just a bit tighter. She shook in his arms and started to cry into his shoulder. No one else in the room spoke or moved. They all knew she needed this, to help her come to terms with her pain. Dante needed it as well. To know for certain that the woman he loved was safe again. And they were all fine with giving them all the time they needed.

After a few minutes, Yang gave one last sniffle and pulled away from Dante. They gave each other reassuring smiles before Yang pulled away from him and turned to the rest of the room. She looked down, "Sorry about that." She said sheepishly.

Ozpin shook his head, "Miss Xiao Long, you've been through a harrowing experience. No one blames you for this. So, take all the time you need."

She nodded, "Thanks, Professor." She closed her eyes again to help her think back. She gently took Dante's hand in her own to give her comfort and strength, "I remember these two White Fang dragging me away sometime after being knocked out after my last failed escape attempt. Things are kinda fuzzy from that but I remember seeing a few more building made from stone. Like they were carved from the walls. And trains on train tracks." She was quiet for a bit, "I think I lost consciousness after that because I can only remember sunlight and what looked to be the ruined buildings of an old city. I couldn't see much else because they threw me into that van. After that, I faded in and out until the docks." She looked back at her professors. "Sorry. That's all I got."

Ozpin shook his head again, "That is more than enough." He started to tap more on his desk. "With that information and the location that Dante and Vergil gave us, I believe the most logical location would be here." With those words, the map zeroed in on an exact location, "Mountain Glenn."

Everyone stared at the image. Everyone had some sort of knowledge on the defuncted expansion of the Kingdom. Vergil was the one to speak up, "Of course. It makes so much sense." He started to pace as he massaged his chin. "It's close enough to the Kingdom for him to operate easily but no one would think anyone would be out there. They could hide in the tunnels underneath to avoid being detected much easier. Plus, with all the Grimm around, that would give him more vessels for his soldiers to use." He stopped and looked back at the map, "How did we miss this?"

Dante shook his head, "Doesn't matter. We know now and tomorrow morning, we'll all head out there." He glared at the map, "We put an end to Mundus."

"Not by yourself." Dante turned back to Ozpin as he stood up, "I will be accompanying you as well."

That floored everyone there. "Wait, what?" Dante asked.

"You and the teams here are my students. I will not sit idly by while you risk your lives to safe this Kingdom." He shook his head. "No, the world." He smirked at the Nephilim, "Besides, I may not be like you two but I can handle myself just fine."

The twins looked at each other having a private conversation until Vergil spoke up, "He does have a good point."

Dante shrugged, "I have no problem with it. Besides, we still don't know what else Mundus has out there."

"Splendid." Ozpin replied. "With that said, I suggest you all get something to eat and rest. Especially you, Miss Xiao Long. But before that, would you mind taking her to the infirmary first, Dante."

He nodded, "On it."

"I will take my leave then." Vergil said, drawing Yamato. "I'll meet you at Mountain Glenn, message me when you all arrive." He slashed open a portal and sheathed his sword before turning to his twin, "Tomorrow, Brother, we end this."

Dante just nodded, "Damn straight."

Vergil just nodded and walked through his portal. When it shut, Qrow spoke up next, "I need to head to Vale as well to get a few things. But I'll be here in the morning to join you guys."

He was then tackled by Ruby but he didn't tip over. He just looked at her in confusion as she looked up at him with shining eyes, "We get to see you in action? Awesome!" That got Qrow and Yang to chuckle at her, with Dante just grinning. Once she was pried off of her uncle, the two teams left the office to get some food and rest. Tomorrow would be a big day.

Like he was asked, Dante had brought Yang to the infirmary. She had held his hand and had leant into him the entire way there, still desperate to have his presence close to her. The nurse checked her over and she had many bruises and cuts across her body. But with her aura no longer being suppressed, the cuts were already closing and the bruises would all be gone by the next morning.

The two made their way to the cafeteria after that. They each grabbed their food and sat down with the rest of their team and RNBW. They all had light conversations with each other as they all relaxed after the day they all had. Nora was regaling them on one of her dreams with Ren making the appropriate corrections. Pyrrha listened with a polite smile while Blake did the same thing while reading a book as well. Ruby was meanwhile trying to shove a normally inhumane number of cookies into her mouth. Weiss was reprimanding her partner while also being ready to help her if and when she started to choke. Finally, Dante and Yang just sat next to each other while they ate, just watching their friends and throwing out their usual brand of jokes to get the reactions they loved to get from their friends.

Surprisingly, the blonde couple were the first ones to finish. Yang asked Dante to walk her back to the dorm, she wanted to take a shower and didn't want to be alone. He agreed instantly and the two told the others that they'd see them later. They all returned their goodbyes before going back to their own conversations.

When they finally got there, Yang gave him loving but brief kiss before she grabbed her towel and went into the bathroom. Not wanting to leave her alone in case she had another emotional episode, Dante looked around for something to do. That's when he saw his and Yang's bed and then her old bed. That's when he shrugged, "Might as well." With those words, he took off his coat and threw it over his desk chair and placed his guns on the desk itself.

He then went about taking the blankets and sheets off both beds before he moved her bed across the room to his so they could make it one big one. With that done, he started to make the bed again. When he was finished, he pulled out his scroll and messaged his teammates to let them know what he did. Neither had a problem with that but Nora started to spam him with messages about how awesome it will be for them to do the same thing with their own beds. Meanwhile, Ren sent him a message saying the two of them were going for a walk around campus before bed so they wouldn't be back for a while.

After reading the message, he realized that the shower was still going. He looked at the time to see Yang was taking a long shower, even by her standards. He gently knocked on the door, "Yang, are you okay? You've been in there for a while."

That's when he heard the water shut off and her speak up through the door, "Yeah, I'm fine. The water felt amazing and I really wanted to be sure I was clean. Guess I lost track of time."

Dante just nodded, "Okay." Was all he could think to say. He walked away from the bathroom door and took his boots off before relaxing on the freshly made bed. He looked through his scroll to see if he got any other messages from his other friends or even Ozpin but he had nothing. That's when the bathroom door opened and out walked Yang with her towel wrapped tightly around her body and her blonde hair still slightly damp. She sighed happily and he just smiled at her, "Feeling better?"

She looked at him with the same smile and nodded, "Loads."

He chuckled, "Good to know." He got off the bed and grabbed his own towel, "Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'll be taking my own shower. That is unless you used all the hot water, again."

She rolled her eyes and smacked his shoulder with a grin. He gave her one of his own before walking into the bathroom. He started the shower and as he was taking his shirt off, saw his reflection in the mirror. The numerous times he had used his Devil Trigger had caused the back of his head to be completely silver, at least a third of his hair was silver now. He ran his hand through it, "You gotta be kidding. Not even in my twenties and I'm greying."

He sighed before taking off the rest of his clothing, sans his necklace, and got into the shower. He sighed in relief when he felt the water was actually hot. He then began the task of getting rid of the dirt, grime, blood and demon ash that he had accumulated over this very long day.

When he was finally done, he felt like a new man. Or Nephilim if you wanted to be technical. He quickly dried himself off and threw on a pair of his shorts he brought in with him. He threw his towel into the hamper by the door and opened it to see a sight he wasn't expecting. Nora and Ren weren't back yet and Yang was sitting at the end of their bed, still only in her towel. She looked up at him and had a conflicted look in her eyes.

He raised an eyebrow in confusion, he had many questions but a few of them were loaded so he went with a safer one, "Where are Ren and Nora? They should've been back by now."

He saw Yang swallow nervously, "I kinda messaged them and asked if we could have the room for the night."

That made the air around them feel tense instantly. Dante had a good feeling on where this was leading but he wasn't exactly excited about it. Normally, he'd be head over heels for this kind of situation with his girlfriend. But with everything she had gone through, he wasn't exactly sure this was a good idea. He cleared his throat, "I see. I, uh, I guess that's why you're dressed like that?"

She looked down at herself and nodded. She took a deep breath and stood up to look him in the eyes, "Dante. I want us to go all the way."

That was what he was afraid of. He calmly tried to dissuade her, "Yang, I'm not sure that is the best idea. You may not be thinking straight."

She gained an annoyed expression with those words, "Are you saying I don't know when I'm ready for something like this?"

He shook his head, "Not at all." He took a step closer to her and gently placed his hands on her shoulders, "You've gone through something intense. Something that most people wouldn't be able to deal with. Right now, your emotions are frayed. I don't want us doing this just because of that."

She shook her head, "It's not that. Yes, what happened to me is partly why I'm asking but it isn't what you think. It opened my eyes to everything. We are living dangerous lives and I can't take things for granted. I can't take you for granted." Her hands went up and laid on top of his still on her shoulders, "Tomorrow could go badly."

"It won't-" he tried to deny but she squeezed his hands, making him stop.

"It could." She said with a tone of finality. "I could die tomorrow. You could die tomorrow. Or both of us." She said quietly before she looked up into his eyes, showing her conviction burning in them. "But I'm not afraid of that. What I am afraid of is regretting anything I didn't do. So, I want us to do this. I want you to be my first. That way…if the worst happens…I won't regret anything."

"Yang." He said quietly. "Are you absolutely sure?"

She gently moved his hand from her shoulder to over her heart so he could feel her heartbeat. It was even and steady. He looked into her eyes and she stared into his, "I am."

She stepped back from him and his hands fell away from her. She raised her hands and undid the top of her towel, allowing it to fall around her feet. She stood there, laying herself bare to him. It wasn't the first time he had seen her like this but no matter how many times he did see her, it never got any less breathtaking. His eyes slowly worked their way up her body, memorizing her form once again. Ignoring the various bruises and cuts, not letting them take away from her beauty. When his eyes finally met her's, she had a smile on her lips, "Please, Dante. Make love to me."

His answer was to step closer to her and wrap his arms around her. He pulled her close, feeling her naked breasts squeeze against his bare chest, and kissed her with every ounce of love and passion he could give her. She hummed in agreement and wrapped her arms around his neck. Neither made to deepen it, not yet at least. They just enjoyed the kiss for what it was.

Dante lowered his left arm to around her legs and picked her up bridal style. He effortlessly carried her to their bed and gently laid her down onto it, letting her head rest against the pillow. They separated to breathe but she didn't move her arms from around his neck. They stared into each other's eyes as he positioned himself over her.

Not able to wait any longer, she pulled his head back down to hers to kiss him once again. It deepened almost instantly. The both fully sank into the passion and love of the other's tongue and lips. One of his hands went around her to rest at her back while the other gently and slowly caressed her thigh. She gave a quiet moan into the kiss at that. She then moved her right hand higher to play with his hair while her left went lower to be on his upper back.

As she did that, her hand brushed against his necklace, moving the crystal that was caught between their bodies just slightly. Dante's eyes flew open and he gasped. Yang's eyes did the same after she figured out what she did. He pulled away and she quickly started to speak, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that." She said partially afraid she ruined the moment.

He quickly shook his head and sat up. But before she could think she ruined their moment; he did something she never expected. He reached up to his necklace and pulled it over his head. He stared at the red crystal in his hand for a second before he gently placed it on his nightstand.

He looked back to Yang to see her staring at him in shock. He gave her a small smile and leant back down to give her a gentle kiss. He pulled away and looked back into her eyes. He then spoke to her quietly, "For right now, I am not Nephilim. I am not a Son of Sparda. I am just a man." He gently cupped her cheek, "And I would prefer it if you were my woman."

Her eyes started to tear up and she kissed him again as her answer. For the first time in their lives, those two had placed their burdens and responsibilities to the side. For the time being, for however long that was, they were just two people in love. And they were experience that love in the purest way that night.

A/N- Here it is! Honestly not much to say. This will be wrapping up very soon so I hope you're all prepared for it. On that note, I hope you all enjoyed and will continue to until the very end. So, I will see you al in the next update!
