Mission 5 - Invasion of Hells
They were riding back to the Devil May Cry in silence. Nero sometimes wanted to start a conversation, but something was stopping him. Finally in the middle of a way he said something random.
"You know, there was a voice, who wanted to see you. He thought I'm you."
"Oh, really? There is a lot of demons who wants to see me I guess. I'm quite popular here." Dante turned around.
"Yeah… What did you mean earlier by… I'll take care of him…?" The boy asked confused.
"Nothing, just… making things straight." The hunter looked back at the road.
"Why are you so upset?" Nero grinned at his partner.
"I'm not upset. Why would I be?" The guy tried to avoid Nero's look.
"I don't know, that's why I'm asking."
But Dante didn't answer, and they saw a bunch of demons in the park, mostly from seven hells. Dante quickly jumped off the motor and Nero was forced to park it, even though he had never really driven it.
"Dante, you jerk!" He shouted after he had dealt with the vehicle, but the other hunter only smiled in response. "Damn, I've got to learn to drive this thing." Nero stated.
Then he saw this guy, whom they've rescued from the spider invasion. He was trying to lure the demons away by stick… But he was pretty good with it, considering what kind of weapon he had.
"Go to him, I'll be here for a while." Dante said while slashing the devils. Nero nodded and ran in the boy's direction.
Why the hell they can't give us a little bit of time to talk? He thought to himself and then dark haired boy looked at him exhausted.
"You're that hunter! Can you help me?" And some demon hit him that hard, that he fell on the ground. Nero shot this devil, slashed the ones that were near it and then he crouched next to the kid.
"Hey, are you alright?"
The guy slowly got up "Yeah, I think so… Why do they keep following me?"
"How should I know? I see you can use stick a bit, but can you use a gun?"
"I suck at targeting." He answered.
"Great. Okay, take this sword for a bit, but if you're…"
"There will be no scratch!"
"Eh…" And he borrowed his Red Queen to the boy. "Follow me, I'll get you out of here." But the boy was already caught up in a battle. Nero looked at him with a smile and shot some demon that tried to hit him from behind. "Maybe I'll just go look for the hell gate."
Dante fought his way to the playground, but there was a lot of demons here too. He killed them all in a blink of an eye, but he still didn't know where the gate could be. It had to be somewhere in the park, but it was one of the biggest parks in the city… And he wasn't able to find Nero either. Then Hell Vanguard attacked him from behind with its scythe and he barely dodged it. The hunter started to shoot, but something charged at him and he dropped Ebony. He looked at the Lust pissed.
"You made me release my precious girl, you're going to pay for that!" And he gave it a powerful kick, in something that looked like face, and then he slashed him in two. "And what's with this sudden attack of Hells, may I ask?" He looked at the demon with the scythe and picked up his gun. "Was there some kind of invasion of sinners, or something?" Then the demon started to shake, like something was shooting it and when it disappeared, Dante saw Nero standing behind.
"Less talking, more killing, that thing don't understand you anyway." The boy reloaded the Blue Rose and looked at his partner.
"Oh, come on, you're taking away all the fun! I know that they don't get the shit from what I'm saying, but what's wrong with it?" Dante sat on the swing. Then he saw the boy from the spider house, with Nero's sword, running in their direction. "Oh no, we've got to run for our lives, the kid has found himself a toy." The guy said pointedly while tossing Ebony.
"He-ey… I.. am… finished." The boy said exhausted.
"Great, so you can give me back my Red Queen I presume?" Nero smiled.
"Ye-ah… " and he dropped it, and sat on the ground. The half devil took his sword and sat on a stump.
"So, are we just going to be sitting like this, or maybe someone will finally notice, that there are still demons around?" The blue coated guy couldn't stand the silence.
"No, there aren't." Dante hid his gun and stood up. Nero looked around and sighed. Demons disappeared. Someone closed the gate, but the question was, who? And why these Hells were after this boy?
"What's your name?" The hunter asked him.
"Vice. I'm sorry for the trouble, I really don't know, why these things are following me." The guy looked down.
"More interesting is why they disappeared." The red guy added.
"It was me." They suddenly heard a voice. Nero quickly recognized it and he was shocked. Because, from behind the tree, a 13 years old girl, with long, blue hair and dark eyes came out.
Zinkul: This chapter is kind of short, but I don't really know what else could there be, so it's how it ended. Stay tunned for mission 6 :) And I hope it's still interesting.
