"An unnaturally strong Chaos demon?" Vergil asked, "Could be possible"
"You think that this demon was dabbling in magic to make himself stronger?" Dante asked, "I don't think so, Verge. I couldn't detect any magic on the boy"
"Okay then, maybe someone's doing experiments on demons. It's happened before"
"It has?"
"Some of the demons we've fought in the past were a result of experiments"
"Oh…right then. Well, that's a possibility"
"So, are you going to investigate it?"
"I think I might. If someone is playing around with the power of a Chaos demon, then that's not good news. I'll find them and stop them"
"Vergil, Dante, do you want anything?" Lady asked, coming into the room
Her dark hair was now streaked with grey due to her age, which was starting to show on her face. She had retired from hunting two years ago, wanting to live a normal, peaceful life while she could, leaving the hunting to her husband and daughter
"Uh, no thanks honey, we're good," Vergil said
"Okay then"
She left the room as Vergil turned to his twin
"In any case, I should come with you, just to make sure you don't lose it"
"Thanks for the offer, Verge, but I think I can handle this one"
"Alright then, but call me if you do need help"
"Yeah, whatever"
Dante headed out of the room, as Vergil sat at his desk and returned to his book

"This is fun…not. Lalalalala, I am so booorreedd," Jenny thought
She was at the office, seated at her father's desk with her feet on the table. Dante was over at Vergil's; Tristan had gone out, while Trish was upstairs with the twins. As Jenny was about to start another round of counting demonic trophies, the front door swung open, jingling the bell. However, Jenny didn't move from her position as she eyed the visitor. He was about six feet tall, with blue eyes and spiky blond hair. He wore a black trench coat over a red V-neck T-shirt and black denims. He also wore heavy boots and black fingerless gloves, with a long sword strapped to his back
"This is Devil May Cry?" he asked
"Sign's out the front," Jenny replied, staring at the ceiling, "You miss it?"
"Where can I find Dante?"
"Not here. But I am. What can I do for you, Mr…er?"
"James Knight. Who are you?"
"Jennifer, but you can call me Jenny. I'm Dante's daughter. Now, back to my question"
"I need some help regarding a powerful and dangerous cult"
"You're a demon, aren't you?" Jenny asked, sitting up, "I can smell it"
"I'm part demon," James replied, "I'm also a demon hunter"
"Huh, funny. Who is this cult and why do you need my help?"
"They're called the Cult of Darkness and they're currently involved in the resurrection of the Goddess of Death"
"Sounds like a fun family holiday. G.O.D, what's that?"
"G.O.D?"
"Goddess of Death. So much easier to say. So come on, details, man"
"The Goddess of Death is a powerful and deadly…well god. She has the power to raise the dead from their graves. She was defeated and sealed away millenniums ago by the Demon King Lucifer"
"Lucifer? I thought Mundus was the demon king"
"Lucifer was before Mundus. How do you think Mundus became the king?"
"Oh wait, I think I remember my father telling me he fought and defeated Lucifer about fifteen years ago. Now, about the Cult. Who's the leader?"
"A demon by the name of Maverick. He's a frost demon. Very dangerous"
"Sounds like you've done your research on things," Jenny said, leaning back in the chair, crossing her arms behind her head, "How do I know I can trust you?"
"Because if the Cult succeeds, the world is doomed," James replied
"As if I haven't heard that one before. Alright, I'll help you out. But I want payment at the end of it all"
"Don't worry, that will be taken care of"
Jenny got up from the desk and grabbed her red trench coat. She didn't change her top, which was a black sports bra, as she threw her coat on, before grabbing her handguns and Rebellion, sheathing the sword on her back
"If this is a trap, I'm killing you," Jenny warned
"Very well then, Jenny. Shall we get going?"
Jenny scribbled out a quick note to her mother, before leaving the shop with James

Tristan blocked the Assault's claws and impaled the reptilian demon, before whirling around and slicing a Scarecrow in half. A Goatling fired an energy blast, which Tristan flipped over, as he drew a handgun and shot the Goatling out of the air. Landing on his feet, Tristan dodged the claws of another Assault, before spinning and decapitating the demon. He then grinned at the last remaining Goatling, before striking it with a lightning bolt, then leaping through the air and impaling it through the chest. Removing his sword, Tristan sheathed it and looked around at the surrounding carnage he had created. There were dead demons lying around him in a circle, stretching out several metres in radius. Tristan had taken up a job to eliminate a pack of Assault demons. However, it wasn't quite he had expected, getting attacked by a vast amount of demons instead. Although he hadn't been back home long, he knew something was wrong if a whole group of demons attacked him
"Maybe Dad might know something"
The bodies began to fade away, as Tristan headed off back home
†††††††††††
"Trish!"
Trish headed downstairs where she found Dante at the desk, a note in his hand
"What is it?"
"Did you know that Jenny has gone out on a mission?" he asked
"I do now. How do you know?"
"She left us a note, but she doesn't specify the mission"
"I don't remember hearing the phone call"
"We had a visitor. And Jenny left with him"
"You're not thinking she's walking into a trap?" Trish asked
Dante was about to reply when Tristan arrived back at the shop
"How'd it go?" Trish asked her son
"It was more than a simple Assault pack," Tristan replied, "Took on a whole horde of demons. Something's going on if something like that happens"
"I don't think Jenny is safe," Dante said
"Why, where is she?" Tristan asked
"She left on a mission with some guy. Now, since we had the pumped-up Chaos demon and the horde of demons attacking Tristan, I'm thinking Jenny's in danger"
"Does she have her cell on her?" Trish asked
She headed for the phone, before calling her daughter's number. However, she got no reply from Jenny and hung up
"Couldn't get her"
"Alright, I'm going after her," Dante said
"I'll come with," Tristan offered
Dante grabbed Alastor and his infamous handguns, before leaving the shop with Tristan close behind him
