Mission 2 – First client

While the building was being repaired, Dante showed Nero interesting places in the city, and they decided, that they will buy a motorbike, because they didn't had anything to drive and luckily had Lady borrowed them that much, so they could do that. When the building was finally whole, they bought everything they needed, and they were broke again.

Nero managed to get to know some things about Dante. That he is son of Sparda, a little bit about his brother Vergil and about the Temen-Ni-Gru. Though he was surprised that Nero didn't know that a big tower grew in the middle of the city.

"I just wasn't here that time... I wasn't here..." Nero was confused, because he didn't know what to tell to his friend. But Dante wasn't insisting to know where he was, what was a nice surprise for Nero. He will tell him. Someday...

He was sleeping on the couch of course. Lady was supposed to tell them if there was a good job for them, and they had already done some things that would drive clients in. So, one night Nero, who wasn't sleeping yet, heard someone knocking to the door. Without getting up from the couch, he just said "Door is open!" and waited for who would show up. The door was opened by some woman with the long black hair, and blue eyes. She was wearing jeans and a long blouse with a low neckline.

She slowly got inside. "Is this Devil May Cry?"

"Haven't you seen a neon?" Nero decided to get up.

"I... have, but..."

"Just tell me what's the problem." the boy smiled to give her courage. He thought that's really good that Dante was sleeping, or he would scare her even more.

"There is a big... demon..." woman gasped "in my house... two streets from here.. it wants... something... but I don't know what, because I ran away as fast as I could... I don't know if it's even still there... I'll pay you! You can take everything in the house... There is my little brother in there. He locked himself in the bathroom, but this thing..." she started to cry.

"Okay, that's a deal. I'll wake Dante up and we'll go there right away."

Nero hesitated before opening the door to the Dante's bedroom, but he didn't have a choice. He went inside his partner's room.

The bedroom wasn't too big, but there was a large bed, a wardrobe and some drawers. Dante was sleeping without a quilt, in his usual trousers but he didn't have his coat, so Nero, before waking him, decided to stay for a little while... Then he remembered that some crying woman is waiting and he started to shake his partner.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Dante was pissed. "I told you not to get into my room!"

"We have a client. She wants us to kill a demon in her house and save her brother."

"Oh. Then what are you waiting for? We're going!" the guy took his guns and the sword, and went downstairs.

"Aren't you getting a coat?" Nero was a little surprised.

"This will be a quick job."

After they had arrived in front of the big house, they saw that every light inside is on.

"I'll go by the front door and you, try to find a way to rescue this boy." Dante said and Nero didn't even get a chance to protest, because his partner was already inside. So he just sighed and went to do his part of the job. He found a door behind the house. There were stairs inside which were leading down. The boy figured out that he must be in the basement, because there was a lot of old things and food. And a lot of spiders of course. But not only normal spiders. When he wanted to went through the nearest door, a big demon spider jumped on him, but he dodged it in the last second. He burst it with Devil Bringer, and ended with a sword combo, but then another one fell on him.

"That was supposed to be easy job!" Nero said while looking at the countless spiders around him. He tried to defeat them, but there was just too many of them, and he was supposed to save this guy who was here, so he decided to retreat this time. He ran through the door, then upstairs and found himself in some small library. He got out as fast as he could, because these spiders were here too. Then he saw some of them trying to destroy the door to one of the rooms, so Nero took care of them. The door were closed, so he knocked and asked: "Hey, someone's in there?"

"Leave me alone!" A boy's voice shouted from the room.

"Don't worry, I'm not here too hurt you. Your sister asked me to save you." Nero tried to have a calming voice.

"You're not a spider?"

"That's for sure." He thought that it's good that he didn't asked him if he was he a demon.

"How can I trust you?"

"You don't have a choice. These doors won't stand too long."

"I... okay." Boy slowly turned the key in the lock. He was like 15 years old, had medium, black hair and he was covered in blood. It looked like he was lucky, that he somehow managed to escape. Then they heard a blow.

"Dante!" And Nero ran downstairs from where they heard this sound. The boy ran after him.

When they were on the first floor, they saw a lot of blood, some green slime and fragments of a body.

"This spider... It blew up?" The boy was a little shocked but he was really calm, as for the current circumstances. Then Dante, covered in this green thing, stood up from behind a desk.

"Wow, that was pretty... awful." He said while trying to get this slime out of him.

"What on earth happened here?" Nero looked at the wet companion.

"It blew up when I shot it too much. But it's not over yet." And he picked up his sword from the floor.

"But it's in pieces! How can it be not over?" The guy behind Nero asked ironically, but his answer was now standing before him. The demon started to put himself back together, but now it didn't look like a spider at all. This time this was just a big, ugly demon, without any normal shape. "Oh fuck."

"Apprehend this boy, and I will not have to kill you!" The devil said but his voice was hard to understand.

"Him? For what?" Nero didn't understand at all.

"He said something about a ritual before..." The boy tried to lighten up things a little.

"Oh, now I get it! You want to summon something, right? Well, that's annoying! You just can't do anything by yourself! You're pathetic!" Dante was obviously trying to piss the creature off.

"You're going to regret your words!" The demon shouted and charged at the hunter. Nero just understood why his friend did that, and jumped at the ex-spider. He gave it a lot of revolver shots in the back of its head, then he jumped back and burst his Devil Bringer into it. The devil turned around and punched the partner of his target really fast, so he couldn't avoid it, but he blocked it with his arm. In the same time Dante cut his head with Rebellion and shot him countless times in the heart. But the thing was still moving. It tried to attack the devil slayer behind him, but every time he was turning around, the other one of his opponents was attacking him. Finally, he gave up and died.

"He was really stupid, don't you think?" The shirtless hunter added after the fight. Nero just nodded exhausted, and went in his direction. "He could have just grabbed us, he was that big!"

Rescued boy ran after the hunter impressed. "Is... Amy okay?" He asked.

"Yes, your sister is okay in our office." Nero turned around to the guy. He still didn't look good, but he was very interested in what just happened.

"There are still some things in the house that have a good value. I guess she hasn't paid you yet? She never pays before the job is done. Because you're hired, right?" He started to speak whole excited. Dante sat on the nearest sofa and looked at Nero like he was saying 'get it done, okay?'
