Disclaimer, I don't own Devil may Cry of Final Fantasy 7 sorry…

Zack opened his eyes for the first true time in years. He was lying right next to his sword, but why was it rusty? He shrugged it off and looked around. His eyes fell on a man with white hair lying next to him. The man twitched and Zack slowly got to his feet, this was hard but he managed.

Zack stared at the twitching figure, the man had a blood red coat without a shirt on underneath and his hair was silver, like the stars. In a way he resembled Sephiroth but Zack had to admit this man was beautiful.

But the man's clothes were torn like he had been in a brutal fight, yet there wasn't a scar on him despite the dried blood covering his skin. There was blood running from the hilt of Zack's sword to the man's head. It seemed that he had hit his head and been knocked out. Zack knelt by the man marveling in how soft the hair was. He lifted the man's head and tilted it trying to find where the gash should be. But there was none. This shocked Zack but not as much as what happened next. The man's eyes shot open and glared at him. The man then grabbed Zack's hands and pulled Zack to the ground. In seconds the man was on his feet and grabbing a sword from where it had fallen on the ground.

Zack tried to get up but the man pulled a gun and pointed it at him. This man is edgy! Zack thought.

"Who are you?" The man asked.

"Zack, you?"

"Where am I?" He didn't bother to answer Zack's question which made Zack roll his eyes.

"Gaia."

The man seemed shocked and put his hand inside his shirt and pulled out an amulet as if making sure it was there. Then he lowered his gun and holstered it.

"Have you heard of the Dark Knight Sparda?" The man then asked. Zack shook his head.

"Then this truly is a different world…"

"Who are you?"

The man looked at Zack with light blue eyes. "Dante Sparda." The man then replied and Zack held out his hand which Dante shook.

"I need a drink, you?" Zack asked in a friendly tone.

"You bet!" Dante replied and Zack was happy for now. He and Dante took off for Midgar.

"Race you!" Zack shouted to Dante.

"I'll win!"

Zack laughed, "Over my dead body!"

Dante laughed and took off, Zack easily caught up with him and they ran tirelessly toward Midgar only slowing at the gates to the city. There they headed to the closest bar which happened to be 7th Heaven!
