Chapter 11: - This is The End

I gazed up at the towering building which easily dwarfed all of the surrounding buildings and I felt the rippling energy of the contract and Incubus resonating from the very peak of the building but I couldn't sense the presence of the Four Horsemen although given their power they could be masking themselves from my sensing.

I placed my hand on the doors before us to get a read of the building which I relayed to the others so that they would know what we were up against and how to reach the top floor to stop our adversaries. Inside of the building was labyrinthine which was obviously meant to confuse attackers whilst the army of demons inside would hunt them down until they no longer posed a threat to the masters of this building, even the outside pathway was protected by demons making both pathways difficult.

I finished relaying the details of the building and our opponents to the others and all of them had a look of either annoyance, exhaustion or fear in Kyrie's case. I knew that the human girl couldn't come with us as it was far too dangerous for a human but at the least Lady could defend herself and we needed every able fighter we could get if the assault on the building was to be successful.

"Kyrie, you need to find somewhere safe. I can't promise you that you'll make it through this if you come with us and I won't endanger an innocent human life simply for a personal vendetta," I spoke. Kyrie looked shock but she seemed torn about something, Nero walked over to her and gently placed his arms on her shoulders, their exchange was silent but it was something I had seen before.

The ability to communicate with a look was something that was common between those who were close, especially if those two people were in love with each other as they knew each other so well that they didn't need words to convey their emotions, it truly was a beautiful thing to see.

Kyrie nodded in response to what Nero had 'said' and she then turned away and headed back hopefully to find somewhere safe, Nero watched her leave and then turned back to face the rest of us and I bowed my head in thanks for his actions. I turned back to the large doors and pushed them open thus allowing us to step into the building and hopefully finish this fight.

However only myself and Dante had managed to step through before the door slammed shut, Dante immediately began to shoot at the door but none of his bullets made a dent so he tried to slash it down but his sword ricocheted off of the doors and almost caused Dante to fall over from the force of his swing being pushed back onto him.

"Dante, Wiccan! You two ok?" Nero yelled through the door. I turned my fist into metal and punched the door however shockwaves rippled through my arm and I gritted my teeth as I held it close to my chest whilst the pain subsided, unfortunately it seemed that my pain was for nought as the door wasn't even dented.

"Yeah we're ok kid, but it seems this door doesn't want to break down," Dante responded. I turned my hand back to flesh and began to examine the door to try and find a way to open it but I swiftly cursed as I realised that the Four Horsemen had enchanted the door with their blood making it impossible for anyone to break open as only they could release it.

"The door's sealed shut with demonic magic, you'll need to go round whilst we go further in. Be careful," I called out. The sound of footsteps echoed then fell silent which implied that they had left, I turned to Dante who nodded and so we headed deeper into the building.

We ventured up the first set of stairs and were immediately attacked by a horde of demons that belonged to the Goat Clan, a group of ancient and powerful group of human/goat hybrid demons, they are fluent in human languages and are very capable of using powerful Black Magic spells. They came in three different types known as Goatling, Blood Goat or Abyss Goat with their colours being the distinguishing feature but all of which can fly and are strong fighters with their claws and hooves.

The standard Goatlings were the weakest, and were a vile green colour. the middle-class Blood Goat were a crimson colour all over their bodies, much like fresh blood with the most powerful class, the Abyss Goat, was so black that looking at one had been compared to staring into the abyss of sin.

There were numerous from each class amongst the horde and all of them charged towards us with their horns down, I jumped up and landed on the head of one which sent it sprawling to the ground with its' flailing legs knocking over several more in a domino effect whilst Dante had seized a hold of another and knocked the rest down with it before throwing the demon into the air and filling it with bullets.

The Abyss Goats jumped to their feet and snorted before they began to chant in a deep tone which told me that they were preparing to cast a spell so I immediately pulled Dante behind me and I stretched out my hands as I prepared my own spell to combat theirs and get them out of the way.

"Whispering fury of the Night Sky, here this cry and come forth with all the power of the Moon and Stars," I chanted. The Earth began to shake in response to my chant as smoke filled the room so I turned around and clammed a hand over Dante's mouth and nose whilst making sure my own were protected as the smoke was toxic with the demons swiftly dropping to their knees and dying.

Once all of the Goats were dead and the smoke dissipated, I released Dante which let him breath and allowed myself to do the same although I didn't allow a rest as I swiftly took Dante's hand and began to drag him further into the building and straight to the stairwell, however I was suddenly stopped by a jerk and went falling back into Dante's arms.

"Remind me not to get on your bad side babe," Dante commented cockily. I pulled myself out of his arms and jumped up a few steps before I turned back to the half-demon and crossed my arm with a unimpressed look on my face that was ruined by the slight smirk that rested on my lips no matter how much I tried to get rid of it.

"Keep up with the flirting and you will," I shot back. Dante smirked and with that banter out of the way we continued up the stairwell so that we could reach the masterminds behind this whole scheme before things turned even worse than they already were.

*Devil May Cry*

We continued up through the building, fighting off the demons that attacked us and swiftly eliminating them so that we could move on as fast as possible, during these fights it was almost as if my mind and Dante's were connected for we fought with one mind and our attacks were in perfect synchronised.

I brought my sword through the body of the last demon on the second to last floor and so we rushed up the stairs, our steps even quicker due to the close proximity of our prey however before we could reach the top floor and end this we had to screech to a halt outside of the door as someone stood in our way.

Nile smirked as we stood across from us, his lights swirling around his hand however I noticed that his eyes were glaring at us as he knew that I had freed my sister from his poisonous grasp. Nile formed his lights into daggers and pointed the tips at us before letting them fly at us although we had already prepared for the attack and managed to dodge out of the way with the daggers impaling into the wall.

Nile rushed at me and tried to bring his light sword down on to my head however I raised my sword and blocked the attack so we ended up pushing against each other, I pulled out one of my daggers and plunged the weapon into his arm which caused him to stumble back thus allowing me to stand up and I used my strength to punch the Incubus into the wall behind him.

Nile sprang to his feet and race at me again however he was intercepted by a hail of bullets, curtesy of Dante's guns, that slammed into his body which sent him flying into the wall once again. Nile pulled himself out of the wall and glared at Dante who simply smirked at the Incubus, I threw a fireball at the demon which he blocked and then threw his lights at me although I successfully dodged all of them.

Nile used my distraction to attack Dante with his claws although the half-demon was successful in dodging or blocking the majority of the attacks, he did get scratched a few time but managed to hit Nile with the handle of his gun which the demon dodged and flipped backwards.

This action had the result of allowing me to wrap my chain around his body and I threw him into the wall behind me however Nile used his ability to turn into bats to escape the chain's hold and he reformed around me which resulted in me being held captive as I couldn't escape in time. Dante had his guns pointed at Nile however the coward took a hold of my face and force me to look at Dante which forced it to act as a shield.

Dante reluctantly lowered his guns as a scowl marred his face, I felt Nile's chest vibrate with laughter and so I took that chance to discharge electricity from my body which sent Nile away from me as his muscles began to rapidly contract and relax from the overstimulation of electricity in his body preventing him from moving. I spun around and kicked him in the chest which sent him stumbling back and he ended up falling over as he was unable to stabilise himself.

Nile scrambled up and unleashed a demonic roar which resulted in his true form being revealed, a hideous fanged creature with huge bat wings flaring out from his back as his familiar bats swirling around him like a writhing black mass. Nile launched himself at us and struck out with his elongated claws, they managed to connect with my leg and Dante's chest which resulted in long and deep gashes appearing on the attacked areas and I ended up tumbling to the ground due to the pain ripping through the limb.

I gritted my teeth as blood flowed from my leg and pain ricocheted through it however before I could attempt to heal it Nile appeared above me and clasped his hand around my throat and began to squeeze it, I felt the oxygen begin forced out of my throat and the demon's nails scratching at my neck. I reached up and began to claw at his hand with all my strength which gave me a slight reprieve but Nile would always retightened his grip.

Black dots began to dance in front of my eyes when Nile was suddenly thrown off of me and I took in a deep breath of air and looked up only to see that Dante had assumed his demonic form and was pounding into Nile who fought back against the hunter. I climbed back to my feet and looked for my sword which I then summoned to my hand

I ran towards the two combatants and jumped over Dante which allowed me to slam my feet straight into Nile's face which sent him away from Dante and as I fell back to the floor, I swung my sword out which caused a gash to near across Nile's chest. My leg buckled from the drop but Dante managed to steady me so I didn't fall to the floor, Nile then rose back to his feet once more, obviously still intent on stopping us despite the fact that he had seen Dante's demonic form.

"So the Son of Sparda can achieve his demon form. How quaint that your brother was incapable of doing so and yet you're far weaker than him," Nile taunt. Dante's face descended into one that was forged from rage and he raised his guns at the Incubus who allowed a sinister smile to rest of his face.

"How the hell do you know Vergil?" Dante yelled. Nile released a rattling laugh, almost like one from an elderly person, he then launched himself at Dante who unleashed a hail of bullets at him but Nile's bats acted as a shield which allowed Nile to slam into Dante which sent the two of them spiralling away from me and through the wall.

I rushed over to the hole and looked down to see that the two of them were on a platform and trading blows with each other but the platform couldn't maintain the pressure of their weight and soon it would collapse sending them plummeting towards the ground which meant that I had to do something and fast.

I spotted Dante's guns lying away from me so I pulled them to my and pointed them at Nile's head with great difficulty as the guns were much heavier than I anticipated, I managed to keep them raised long enough to fire a bullet form each gun although the recoil sent me slamming back into the ground so I didn't see the outcome although I heard Nile's scream of pain.

I groaned in pain as my skull throbbed slightly but this didn't stop me from hearing footsteps approaching my so I blindly patted around for one of the guns and managed to find it however the weapon was gently plunked from my hand and I looked up to see the cocky smirk and crystal blue eyes of Dante.

"That was a damn good shot you made Wiccan," Dante complimented. I weakly smiled as Dante held out his hand and pulled me up, I looked at my leg and saw that the blood was beginning to clot so I finished up the healing process and healed Dante's injuries although our clothing was still in slight tatters but it didn't matter as with Nile out of the way, Malcolm's contract powers were gone.

I went over to the door and pushed it open only to come face to face with the rest of Dante's group opening the door opposite us who appeared just as surprised to see us as I felt to see them. I looked up and down the hallway and found only one door and after using my sensing I confirmed that Malcolm was in there.

We all stepped out and I motioned for the others to follow me and I quietly walked along the pathway as I sensed for any incoming demons who were hoping to ambush us as a last attempt to stop us before Apocalypse could rise from his tomb. Nothing attacked us but this set me on edge so went we arrive at the door I didn't open it calmly, I coat my fist in steel and slammed into the doors which sent them flying in and through the window.

The room appeared to be one used for meetings that involved a substantial number of people with a desk being situated at the back of the room and that was were Malcolm was located as he sat behind it however he looked incredibly angry as he had no doubt felt to severing of his connection to Nile, he spotted us and rose to his feet.

"You filthy witch, you think that just because you managed to kill Nile that you actually stopped me. That Incubus was a means to an end, my plan is still going," Malcolm roared. I looked at him and began to see that something was wrong with the Contract but I couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was that wrong with him.

I wasn't able to learn what it was as crashing could be heard and I looked around only to see that the four Horseman had busted through the windows and their weapons were already trained on us, Pestilence let one of his arrows fly but I managed to redirect it into the air although all of us had to swiftly dodge Famine's scales which almost crushed our heads.

War took advantage of our distracted state and charged at us and brought his sword down towards us however Dante managed to block the attack with his own weapon and the struggled against each other, Death appeared above our heads and brought his scythe swinging towards us however I pulled out the sceptre and allowed the light to flare up in a shield which protect the rest of us from Death's attack.

Before any of us could make another move, a maniacal laugh from Malcolm's position shattered the battle tension and caused us all to looked at the Contract who was bent over and howling with laughter at something that we couldn't understand however it soon began to fall together when the madman stood up with a twisted smile resting on his face.

"Ah so all the pieces fall into place. I must thank you for your timely arrival however your part in my plan is over Horsemen," Malcolm spoke. The Horsemen looked at each other before removing their weapons from our direction and turned to face the Contract so I motioned for everyone to gather close to the door in case we needed to make a swift escape from this place.

"You do not command us human. Only our Lord and Master Apocalypse can rule over us, we only listen to you to fulfil the debt of our revival but now, you are no longer needed," Death calmly spoke. However instead of being afraid like he should have been, Malcolm simply smiled and walked over to the desk.

"How interesting that you mention your Master," Malcolm commented. Suddenly something rippled out of the corner of my eye and a series of demonic symbols carved into the wooden frame and with horror I realised that it was the tomb of Apocalypse.

Unfortunately it seemed that I had been wrong about the entire plan as I caught on to Malcolm chanting a spell, I snapped my head in his direction and found that he was holding a pure black book with symbols on its cover, I recognised that the book was a Grimoire of Black Magic.

"No!" I screamed. I rushed passed all of the gathered beings but my scream had attracted everyone's attention and the Horseman realised what Malcolm was attempted and roared in anger before charging towards him, I threw magic at Malcolm however a barrier what been erected around the being and my magic bounced back.

This didn't divert the horsemen however as all of them attacked the shield but it didn't even crack the shield, however before the demonic warlords could attempt another pointless attack all four of them collapsed to their knees and screamed in pain was they desperately clutched at their chests.

"Run! Get out! Now!" I yelled at the others. They decided to follow my advice and promptly fled from the room whilst I turned back to watch what was quite possibly the end of the world. A black line extended from each of the Horsemen's chests and the coffin with all five of them connecting to Malcolm who became shrouded in the same blackness and began to expand in size so I began to flee myself.

"Wiccan what the hell is going on?" Trish asked once I caught up to them. The building began to crack so I blast open a hole and summoned a bridge that would get us out of the building and we rushed down the object that I had summoned. "Wiccan!" Trish yelled in an attempt to get me to say something.

"It appears that Malcolm has used Black Magic to do the worst thing possible. He has become Apocalypse," I responded as a triumphant roar echoed through the sky.
