Authors notes: Im slowly making headway with the drafts of this story.
It will be a longish one i assure you, i own nothing except the devil arms i make up and any characters or locations.
Dante relaxed in his chair at Devil Never Cry, polishing Ebony and Ivory,
It was a reflex to boredom, demonic activity had been slow since the Saviour incident, Nero had been on cleanup (and was now head of the order to boot!), Lady and trish were off doing demon hunts, as opposed to their usal pastime of badgering him about his debt.
For once Dante was hoping for a crisis.
As if answering his prayers the door slipped open and a young man walked inside, casually dressed in a black shirt, open with a band tee and black jeans, with a strange piece of fabric haning at the side with a tribal design, and a pair of 18-hole Docs on his feet.
The man was of slim build, but you could see in his arms that powerful muscle shifted under his skin, dark green eyes and black jawline length hair with dark blue edges framed a thin sharp, handsomish, face, with a small black bit of facial hair on his chin, his smile showing small straight teeth, his canines seemed abit long, giving his teeth an overall vampiric appearance.
The man spoke in a quiet voice that seemed to always be hiding something.
"Do i have the pleasure of speaking with Dante? son of sparda?"
Dante smirked "you do, and i must be gettin' famous, cuz i never seen you before"
The man smiled politely "i have a job, one that requires somone special,
i would do it myself, but iam too well recognized"
Dante frowned "i've stopped demons invading this world three times" counting off with his finger "one, i stopped a stupid human from unleashing hell with my fathers sword" he ticked off another finger "two, i stopped the demon emperor Mundus, from taking over" he ticked off the last finger "and finally i stopped a stupid religious cult from unleashing hell to become so-called heroes"
he put his hand on Ebony "what makes you think that wherever you want me to go,
i wont be recognized?"
the man simply shrugged "you already have a good few of what i required you to collect" he gestured to the devil arms, that were either hanging off the wall or through demon skulls.
Dante raised him a further eyebrow, not liking the way the mans eyes seemed to hunger for the weapons "okay, stop, rewind, ill need your name and what the job is"
The man sat down frowning at the lack of trust "my name is Serdus, and as for the job it is to collect Devil arms, alot of my... associatess have reported to me that the Devil arms they own are being stolen, some of my associates have been murdered to obtain their devil arms, the thing is, powerful demons rumoured to be arms themselves are also disappearing, i need you to go out and find as many devil arms as possible"
Dante cocked his head to the side "what makes you think i wont keep them, or i have all the arms left?"
Serdus smiled genuinely "you have nowhere near enough, devil arms you do possess, but you only own a small fraction of them, there are thousands, a few are weak, nothing more than weapons of high power, others capable of mass destruction, you only own aproxamitly three powerful arms" he pointed towards a suitcase with a demonic design "pandoras box" then to a set of gauntlets and greaves with light flickering within "beowulf"
he gestured towards a sword that had an organic looking blade, grown over an ancient sword "and sparda your most powerful weapon.. so far"
Dante yet again frowned at the hungry look in Serdus's eyes "you know a little much, what of youself then? surely some badass Mr. know-it-all has a few few of his own toys?"
Serdus smiled holding his left arm out the side with a dark flash, trimmed in red a black gauntlet appeared, tribal symbols appeared on the gauntlet and a sword, shaped like a dai, with a red tsuba shaped like two outward facing fangs and a black blade with a gray edge, the sword attached to the gauntlet at the wrist by a long gray chain.
Serdus held it at his side "this is the devil arm Trechery"
Dante smirked and lifted ebony and fired.
