"Okay, so why am I out here?" Lili asked herself, "Well, Aunty Trish did say that a powerful demon was out here"
She was in the forest, entering the Viper's Den, which was the same place that Jenny had defeated Echidna three years ago. Keeping a hand nearby Yitoma, Lili surveyed the thick trees, trying to find the demon. However, it found her first, firing a rocket at her. Drawing Yitoma, Lili sliced the rocket in half, as it flew past and destroyed two trees. Hunter then appeared before Lili, sitting on a large tree branch
"Ah, the daughter of Vergil shows herself. I've been waiting for you"
"That's good to know, but you're not getting my number, sorry"
"That's a shame. We could get along so well"
Yitoma began glowing bright blue, as Lili fired three bands of energy, slicing through the air towards Hunter. He leapt out of the way, his hands transforming into swords, causing Lili's eyebrows to rise in surprise. He whirled around, slashing at her, but she blocked his blows, countering with her own attacks and forcing Hunter to back up. He pushed her back and flew into the air, his right arm transforming into a chaingun
"Oh shit," Lili said
She dived out of the way of bullets, running up a tree and leaping through the air towards Hunter. The chaingun transformed into a rocket launcher, shooting a rocket straight at her. Lili teleported to behind Hunter and ran him through from behind. Hunter cried out and elbowed her in the face, before falling to the ground on his hands and knees, clutching at his wound, as Lili landed on her feet and sheathed Yitoma
"You're good, I'll give you that," Hunter said, "But by the end of this-"
A spear made out of ice suddenly appeared through his head, killing him instantly. Hunter's body dissolved into a ball of light, which Lili absorbed into her body, creating a suit of armour that was sleek and streamlined. Absorbing the armour, Lili looked around for the offender, but instead, withdrew her Frost Pistols and fired bullets in every direction. Yitoma began glowing purple, as Lili drew her sword and spun in 360 degrees, the energy slicing down every tree for about fifteen metres in every direction. Laughter was heard, as Lili sheathed her sword
"Impressive. I've always thought destruction was constructive"
Lili faced the direction of the voice, seeing Maverick standing before her
"Who the hell are you?" she asked
"The name's Maverick. I'm the son of Beelzebub, if you will"
"Fascinating. I'm outta here"
Lili turned away, but Maverick was suddenly before her in an instant
"Oh come on, we were just getting started. You know my name. What's yours?"
"Lili"
"Full name?"
"Screw you"
"Okay, Lili, I can work with that. Hey, you're Vergil's daughter, aren't you?"
Lili growled and drew her sword, slashing faster than the eye could blink. However, she was surprised to see that a sword made of ice had blocked her move. Maverick looked her sword up and down, before grinning at her
"Nice craftsmanship"
"My father made it for me"
Lili kicked him in the groin and sliced him across the chest. Maverick stumbled back, clutching his groin and laughing, despite wheezing in pain. The wound on his chest slowly healed, as he rose to his full height, now over the pain in his groin
"You've got a fight in you. I like that"
Lili rolled her eyes and slashed at him again, but he blocked and whirled around, slicing at her abdomen. She blocked and kicked at his head, but he ducked and swept his leg. Jumping over the move, Lili sliced at his face, but he turned away from the blade, before catching her in the chest with a beam of ice, blasting her across the clearing. Lili groaned and flipped onto her feet, seeing Maverick standing on a platform of ice in the air, grinning down at her
"You're feisty. Gotta love that. Think I'll spare you, sweetheart. Consider yourself lucky that I'm having a good day"
Maverick laughed and took off through the air, aided by his manipulation of the air. Growling, Lili summoned the Hunter armour, creating a pair of wings and taking off after him, flying back towards the city. Maverick flew into a large, partly unfinished building, as Lili created a rocket launcher with the armour and fired. Maverick froze the rocket and dodged it as it wobbled past and crashed without exploding. He turned back and created a sword just in time to block Lili's slash
"Whoa, babe!"
Lili kicked him in the chest and landed inside the building, the armour melting back into her body. Maverick grinned and lunged at her, slashing with his ice sword. Lili swung Yitoma, slicing the sword in half, before stabbing at his chest, but was blocked by two ice daggers. Breaking away, Maverick spun and slashed at her head, but she stepped back, chopping at him. Maverick blocked and kicked, but Lili dodged it, breaking away from his daggers and slashing again, before whirling around and slicing at his throat. Maverick blocked her arm with his, before grabbing her wrist and twisting downwards, then kneeing her in the stomach, before sweeping her legs out from underneath her. Yitoma fell from her hand, as Maverick stood over her
"Mm, now this is something I could get used to," he grinned
"Don't worry, it won't last long," Lili growled, rearing up and punching him in the groin
"Why are you always hitting me there?" Maverick groaned, kneeling over, "That's just not cricket. They're very important to me"
"Good. Let's see how long you last without them"
"Oh no, crazy woman, get away from me"
Maverick rolled away from Yitoma and got to his feet, dodging the blade and grabbing her arm as she brought it back for another slash. Lili swung her other fist, but Maverick smacked it aside, before pressing his lips to hers. The kiss didn't last long, as he quickly broke away and stepped back from the blade, laughing as she growled in rage and lunged at him, slashing with her sword
"Come on, you so loved that," Maverick said, blocking her moves
Lili slashed at his head, before turning and kicking him in the chest. Maverick rolled back onto his feet, blocking her next move with a sword made out of ice. Lili shattered the sword and stabbed, but he batted the blade aside and unleashed a blast of tiny ice shards. Lili spun Yitoma around before her like a shield, deflecting most of the shards, before impaling Maverick with two phantom swords
"Wow, never saw them coming," he muttered, wrenching them out
Lili smashed the phantom swords apart with Yitoma, before channelling her demonic energy into the blade and flicking her wrist. A series of crisscrossing energy slashes shot out from the blade, launching at Maverick. His eyes widened in surprised and he created a large barrier of ice, which absorbed most of the attack. He sighed, as Lili came smashing through the barrier and kicked him out of the building
Creating a platform of ice, Maverick flew back at Lili, blocking her slash with his boot and flipping over, kicking her in the face. She slid along the ground, before getting to her feet and firing a series of phantom swords. Maverick created two ice daggers and smashed the swords as they came, before slamming his fist into the ground, creating a trail of spikes that arced towards the half-demon. She stabbed Yitoma into the ground, channelling her energy and destroying the spikes
"Wow, you're definitely my kind of woman," Maverick said
"You don't even have a kind," Lili said, "You've never had that chance"
"Guess the same goes for you, Lili. You're still a, uh, yeah, a uh virgin"
Maverick narrowly avoided the five phantom swords fired at him, before getting Yitoma rammed straight through his chest, as Lili's eyes flashed red
"So? What's it to you?"
Despite being impaled by a furious half-demon, Maverick chuckled
"I can help fix that. A night with me and you'll never be the same again"
"I would rather kill myself than wallow with pathetic beings like yourself"
"Come on, girl, don't go hurting my feelings. I don't hurt yours"
Lili removed Yitoma, then for good measure, kicked Maverick in the groin with as much strength as she could muster. Maverick collapsed on the ground, wheezing in pain and muttering curses, as Lili sheathed her sword
"I should kill you, just for fun. But I'm gonna spare you. Consider yourself lucky that I'm in a good mood"
Lili then dived out of the building, as Maverick groaned got to his feet
"Damn, I like that girl"
