Author's Note: This is only a work of fiction by a fan. I do not own Hellsing, Devil May Cry, or their characters and settings. Hellsing is owned by Kouta Hirano, while Devil May Cry is owned by Hideki Kamiya. Please support official releases.

Also, I'm happy that people actually like this fanfic. Thanks to SereneCrosstamer for their review on Chapter I. I'll try to make this chapter better than the first. Finally, I'm going to write this in 3rd person perspectives, alternating between Alucard and Dante.

Chapter II: Deadlock

Dante never saw this man before, nor did he care. At least he had some grip on fashion sense though. The man had a crimson jacket just like Dante's, along with a dark gray button down shirt and pants, and some boots. Surprisingly though, he actually wore a red cravat too. If it had been white, it would've reminded Dante of that anime character who kills giants that all the teenagers are into nowadays. Along with his fedora, neck length black hair, sunglasses, and red eyes, the man sported white gloves on his hands, which had pentagrams inscribed on them. Dante was right, the man was a demon, if not one from the Wild West.

"I'm surprised you actually know what I am from first glance, emo," The man commented. Now this got onto Dante's nerves. He wasn't some emo who whines and does nothing but listen to metal! That was his nephew Nero! Nonetheless, this demon needed to die.

Dante quickly fired Ebony and Ivory, and they shot through the demon's head like paper, blood gushing out like water. He then fell down pitifully, lacking any signs of animation. Feeling the fight was over, Dante began to walk back to the shop, the prosciutto and garlic potato pizza beckoning to come. But just as he touched the doorknob, he felt a bullet penetrate his chest. Turning around, his clothes ruined, he faced the demon again, its head completely healed, holding a giant black pistol.

"Well done! You actually blew out my brain! No one's ever done that before," The demon exclaimed, his mouth smiling with bloody teeth. "Name's Alucard. I'm a vampire by the way!"

"Dante," Dante replied with a smirk. He was happy Alucard was going to put up a fight. Whipping out Rebellion, his trusty sword, he ran toward the vampire, ready to finish the job. Preparing to plunge the blade into his heart, it was caught by Alucard's hand.

"Foolishness Dante."

Dante stopped a moment, the quote reminding him of when he fought Vergil, the day he lost his brother.

"I'm on a job here, so I guess you were the demon that was wrecking havoc," Alucard asked.

"No. I kill demons, despite the fact I share their blood," Dante answered, feeling this was all a misunderstanding. "This building is my shop. That pile of sand that used to be a demon was simply a minion."

"Well then, I guess my job's done then, so if you can excuse me, I've got some Adventure Time to catch up on." Alucard then threw Rebellion at Devil May Cry's door, proceeding to make his way back to where he came from.

"Hold on a sec! There's probably more demons if this one was only a minor."

Alucard then paused his walk, pondering what he should do? Work with a hybrid who just shot him and kill some demons? Or return to headquarters and finish the episode of Adventure Time. Sadly, he felt that Integra would give him another lecture, so felt he should cooperate.

"Fine. I'll help, but only because I can watch it on demand," the vampire murmured. Walking back towards Dante, he picked up his hat that fell, brushing the dirt off.

"Well then, I guess we should wait inside my shop. My partner's coming in a few minutes, so it would be better to wait for her," Dante explained. The two then walked towards the door of the shop, Dante getting Rebellion out of his door, and closed the door, the sun finally going under the horizon.

Well, here's Chapter II. I intend to introduce Trish in the next chapter, so stay tuned to Chapter III. Again, thanks to SereneCrossTamer for the review!
