Part 2: Adventure
DH Adventure Chapter 1: Trouble Right off the Bat
A review!! A REVIEW! No way am I passing this up! Here are some updates!
This is the first chapter of Dante's take in adventure mode. DH stands for Devil Hunter
I do not own Devil May Cry, Capcom does (Seriously, you'd think that you would remember this shit by now)
Tselenoyarsk
Dante pulled himself to his feet. Of all the challenges he has encountered, being forced through a portal was one of the worse. He checked himself, no injuries, except Nevan, Cerberus and Beowulf were all missing. Dante still had his trusty long sword Rebellion and the two serrated scimitars Agni & Rudra, and he still had his handguns Ebony & Ivory. He looked around; he was in some kind of fortress. He decided to start by searching around for the person he was supposed to travel with. But he didn't have to look for long, soon a screech caught his ear, and he rushed to find the girl who was traveling with Lyn under attack. Several men in military fatigues were holding her up. Dante rushed to her aid, not knowing what was going on. He pulled out his handguns and started shooting at the soldiers, but one noticed him, a woman in strange white armor. She pulled out a knife, grabbed the girl, and then held the girl in front of her, with her knife pointing at her neck. Soon the woman shouted out. "Move and she's dead!"
Dante stopped for a second. He needed to think of a way to save the girl. He hated seeing innocent humans getting hurt. But his thoughts were soon interrupted when a dart hit his head. He looked up and saw an old man holding an old World War 2 sniper rifle. He worked the bolt action of his rifle and shot Dante again, hitting his head. Dante was beginning to feel the effects of a tranquilizer work on him, but he wasn't one to give up. He noticed the woman holding Lyn's partner loosening her grip. Dante suddenly rushed forward, his sword in hand, until the old man shot him a third time, this dart knocking Dante out.
Grozynj Grad Torture Room
The darts didn't work long on Dante. He woke up soon, but he was already chained up. He soon noticed the girl as well, she was hanging from the ceiling by her arms, and she was also stripped of all her clothes and armor, save for some underwear. Dante noticed that his trench coat was gone, and so were his weapons. He also noticed his mother's amulet was missing, so he couldn't use his special power. Dante opened his eyes and made it obvious that he was awake, and he was greeted by a man with a Russian accent. "Well, I see that the other intruder has woken up."
Dante looked at the man. His face was grotesque with scars, and his hair was white. He was wearing a large olive drab overcoat and pants, but his gloves were red, as well as his boots. He was looking up and down at the girl, laughing. "You two took out quite a lot of my men. It's funny that such a beautiful little girl and what a punk like you can do. But it looks like you're currently out of luck."
Dante wanted to spit in the mans face, but he didn't. Instead, he started working at the chains that held him to the wall, but with little success. The old man started talking again. "You seem to be concerned about this little whores well being. So why don't you talk? Who are you?"
Dante looked at the girl, she was facing him, and she was afraid. Dante didn't know what to say to the old man though, and soon the old man started laughing again. "Oh well. I guess you still can't talk. Maybe we should have a little fun then." The old man then punched the girl, she shouted out. Dante again started pulling at his chains, this time with a lot of anger. Soon another man entered the room, a man wearing black with a red beret. He was also carrying several ammo belts and a revolver. He started talking as well.
"Colonel, have either talked yet?" He asked. The old man shook his head.
"No, Ocelot, both have just woken up. But the man has a rather impudent look. He's been pulling at his chains, and he looks like he wants to kill me. HA! He'll never get loose!"
Ocelot shook his head. "Colonel Volgin, this is no time for fun! The Boss just left to confirm the status of The End, and it doesn't look good. That intruder has already killed The Pain; he might have also killed The Fear! If the Cobras can't handle him, you're in trouble and you know it!"
Volgin got angry at this. "I'm the one in command here; I'll decide what time is for what! Tatyana passed out during my last game, and Ivan needs his sleep. This girl, that man, they're fresh. And the girl has such a lovely scream too! Listen!" Volgin punched Florina hard again, this punch opening up a wound. She cried out, and Volgin laughed, getting pleasure from her screams. "See? Even you should be tempted by her also!" He punched again, opening another wound. Dante was now furious and kept pulling at the chains, but Volgin and Ocelot weren't paying attention.
"I should just go wake up your partner so he can entertain you. If they are associated with that CIA spy, then we can't afford to kill either. I can handle it!" Ocelot shouted out. But soon a sliding door behind him opened. The woman who grabbed the girl walked in. She was wearing a black coat over her white outfit.
"Colonel, what are you doing?" The woman asked. Volgin stopped and faced her.
"Ah, Boss! You've caught me a great little girl. And that man, he'll be next." Volgin replied. Ocelot shook his head and tried to ignore what was happening behind him.
"Boss, have you found out what happened?"
The Boss shook her head a little. "The End fell asleep waiting for the boy. I doubt the boy will live when he encounters The End. Some scouts are checking the area of Graniny Gorki to find out what happened to The Fear."
Volgin punched the girl again; her body started swinging on the chains. Dante watched the Boss; she seemed to flinch at that. But she didn't stop. Soon Volgin started pounding on the girl more, especially around her face, the girl was crying, and Dante was still pulling on his chains. They started biting into his wrists, but he kept pulling. The Boss noticed that, and told Volgin to stop. She bent down to Dante. "If you care for this girl, then I'd suggest you talk. Volgin has little control, and will probably kill her if this keeps going. If you want her suffering to stop, you'd better start talking!"
Dante gave up on the chains and started talking. "My name is Dante, I'm not good with names, but I think hers is Florina or something like that. I'll talk if you make that sick sadistic basterd let her go!"
Volgin got angry at this and then grabbed Florina's shoulder. This time, electricity started to flow through him into Florina. She started screaming out again, and Dante started pulling at the chains. Finally Volgin let go, Florina was still crying, and Dante was ready to rip Volgin apart. But he couldn't get free. The Boss got up and faced Volgin. "Enough Volgin. This man will lose himself in rage if you keep it up. Leave her be, even I must say you are going to far here."
Volgin was just getting angrier. He punched Florina in the face again. "Silence! That man dares to make a mockery of me, and his little bitch will suffer! That's the way it's going to be for him until he tells us what we want to know!"
The Boss was about to reply, but the door opened again. This time it was one of the guards, he seemed to be in a trance. Everyone faced him for a second, but then Volgin went back to arguing with the Boss. Dante wasn't paying attention to what they were saying; he recognized the guard's trance. The guard walked up to Dante and bent down. He started whispering into Dante's ear.
"Master, it is I, Rudra. I've gotten your amulet, and Agni is getting your sword. Here, take this as well." The possessed guard put the amulet around Dante's neck, and then pulled out a strange gauntlet. He turned back a second, made sure no one was looking, and then he immediately pulled out a blue serrated scimitar and cut Dante's chains. Dante leapt up, his hands free, and grabbed the gauntlet from the guard's hand. He slipped it on and focused, soon another gauntlet and a set of greaves formed on Dante's arms and legs. Volgin turned, the Boss turned, Dante was standing upright, strange light pouring out of his gauntlets, the guard was also carrying a sword that had a face on the bottom of its hilt. Dumbfounded, Volgin started to shoot his electricity at Dante, but he lifted his arm, the gauntlet absorbing the shock. Soon the young man, Ocelot got smart and pointed a gun at Florina. This made Dante stop.
"Take one more step and the girls dead!" Dante punched the wall, it made a huge crater. He was then growling out his words.
"You kill her, do you think you can stop me?! Let her go, and I'll make this fast!" Dante assumed a fighting stance, Volgin didn't look intimidated, but The Boss was smarter. She lifted up her hand, Volgin stopped, and then she started talking.
"Conflict wasn't solved by simply punching. Why don't we make a deal. It's in your best interest if you don't want any more harm to befall that girl Florina." The Boss grabbed the revolver from Ocelot's hand, and broke off the chamber. Ocelot didn't talk, nor did Volgin. Dante still looked angry, but then the guard started moving. He cut his head off using the sword in his hand. But he didn't collapse. Instead, he lifted the face of the sword towards where his should have been, and the face started talking.
"The girl is under our protection. For now, all that we ask is that you let her go and not pursue us. If you do that much, then for now we can all get out of this alive." Dante decided to trust his sword Rudra, and let his arms down. Ocelot did as well. But Volgin wasn't about to give up his pleasure in Florina's pain.
"I'll sooner die then admit defeat to you!" He slammed his fist into Florina again, into her gut. This time the fist was electrified, and she was crying out as loud as her lungs would let her. The Boss didn't let Volgin get in a second hit though. She grabbed his arm, and in a quick movement slammed him to the floor, with a gun pointed in his face.
"Enough you damn fool! That man wouldn't hesitate to kill all of us if she was dead! To me, you're more expendable then Ocelot is because he commands a better unit. You will quit now!"
Volgin didn't talk, he just muttered submissively. Dante went over to Florina and grabbed the cuffs that hung her from the ceiling. To make sure Volgin got his point, he released her by crushing the chains that suspended her. He held her as gently as he could, but she still cried out a little. Dante started to feel his rage stirring up again, but the possessed corpse stopped him and pulled him towards the door. The Boss followed and led him to a section of the fortress. She opened up a manhole and started talking. "Climb down here and you will end up in a tunnel. Follow it south to end up in the jungle. The area you will end up in is fertile; you will find plenty of useful botany to use as styptics and disinfectants for her, as well as food to eat. My only warning is don't eat the mushrooms." She paused, looking at the walking headless corpse. "You had two swords like that one. Am I to assume the other sword is capable of the same thing?"
Dante nodded to Rudra, he talked. "We both can possess the bodies of wielders that are weaker than us. He is the only one that is strong enough to carry us both."
The Boss shook her head and sighed a little. "Ocelot will have a light guard around your equipment. I have only one request, leave Ocelot alive. I don't care about what you do with Volgin. I know you will come back."
Dante nodded a little. The Boss reached behind her and pulled out a small satchel, and a bit of rope. She grabbed Florina from Dante, and tied her hands around Dante's neck so that he could climb while she hung onto him. The possessed guard went down the ladder first, Dante followed. The Boss shut the manhole as soon as Dante was out of sight.

There was a small cave at the end of the tunnel that Dante found himself in after climbed down the ladder the Boss showed him. He stopped in the cave and turned to Rudra. "Find your brother and get yourself a new body, leave it whole. But first, I'll need your help."
"What is it master?" Rudra replied. Dante sighed.
"I can't bandage her wounds right. She's too badly hurt. It will be a bit better if I used a Vital Star. Do you think you can find or make one?"
Rudra bowed a little, and dug into his pocket, pulling out a green star like jewel with a creepy face on it. "It's a small one, but she doesn't use Blue Orbs for vitality, she won't need a full sized star. However, she will have light symptoms as if she had used a Green Orb. You know that demonic magic is too powerful for human bodies."
Dante turned to face Florina. She was still awake, he spoke to her softly. "I'll help you, but I'll need an answer from you. I have two ways to help you, there is a quick way that will hurt, or the long way which will hurt less but you will have to wait for those scratches to clear up, and you'll be covered with scars. Which one would you prefer?" Dante asked Florina. She tried to open her mouth, but tears instead welled in her eyes. Dante didn't talk after that. He grabbed the Vital Star from Rudra's host's hand, uncovered Florina's chest, and pressed the orb onto her chest. It sunk into her skin, into her bones, into her heart, and she passed out.
Dante's stuck with Florina. Doesn't that sound great?! Next update will cover Link and Lyn's adventures. For now, I'm out. R&R!
