Chapter II
Part 1:The Crimson Demon Hunter
Dante looked at the clouds for a bit drifting in deep thought………….when suddenly the plane he was driving swooped down towards the ocean. -"Woah!", Dante said, being interrupted violently from his thoughts and then proceeded to set the plane on it's normal course again. It was the same plane that he had used to escape from Mallet Island, it was in a way better shape now, as he had done some customisations of his own, but still fairly old.
He had found out where those bastards had gone and they were so gonna pay for what they did to Trish and for taking his amulet. The only thought that relieved him a bit was that they somehow didn't find the sparda sword, but again without the amulet it had returned to it's normal form. He'd better reach that island fast cause it was getting dark and despite being half a demon, driving with an old plane during night was not included in his skill list.
After an hour or so he could see the island on the horizon. Fortuna , yes that's how it was called. An island secret to the rest of the world, not existing in any map. Thank god he could land his plane on water cause as far as he knew there was no airport on this island.
He landed his plane at some kind of harbour, oddly devoid of ships, and stated walking towards the outskirts of the town. It was past midnight now, the streets were empty and the only sounds that could be heard were that of an owl and of Dante's own boots. He stopped for a moment, looked at all the windows of the houses and said under his breath: -"People here don't know how to live, it's midnight and they are all sleeping! So no parties here... huh?". Suddenly Dante felt the air change and then he saw a strange yellowish liquid appearing out of thin air and flowing into some rags on the side walk, then the rugs sprang into life. It seemed as if the rugs had transformed into some kind of twisted puppet with peg legs and blades instead of hands, then more of those puppets appeared from the shadows. They were all almost identical to eachother, except for a few that had a blade instead of a leg and that gave them a difficulty in balancing themselves. Dante drew his twin handguns, aimed them at the closest puppet and said: -"So I guess there's gonna be a party after all. LET'S ROCK". He then unleashed a barrage of bullets in every direction, piles of bullet casings now littered the steets. The puppets were almost unaffected by the bullets and they started closing up on Dante, forming a circle around him. When they where close enough, Dante holstered his guns, draw the rebellion( a sword, memento by his father) and swung it at a full 360 degrees thus slicing all puppets. The puppets fell down, violently shaking and then they started deflating, all the liquid they contained was now sprayed everywhere, walls, lampposts and even Dante. "Damn these puppets, I now have to take a bath!" and with that witty remark the Devil hunter continued along the road.
Dante had passed through some sort of train station and now was at a square with a fountain on the center of it. There was a path that led to some kind of monastery. As he started trekking that path he saw a some kind of ghoul shoot out of the roof of the monastery. It floated in mid-air for some moments, then swooped down and started flying towards Dante, when it was close enough Dante took a good look at it and……. "Vergil?!", Dante exclaimed. The ghoul continued flying towards him and then it somehow phased into Dante who in his turn started feeling all sleepy, his feet felt like they were made out of rubber. He didn't have enough time to react as he had fainted.
When Dante woke up he saw it was dawn and then freaked out when he realised that he could not control his body ,then he started climbing the walls of this monastery against his will and then remembered what had happened before he fainted. "VERGIL! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?" Dante tried to say, but no words escaped his mouth, instead he heard his scream echoing on the inside of his head and then another voice….. -"Relax brother, I'm only carrying out my master's bidding and for that purpose I borrowed your body for a little while", that was Vergil's voice alright. -"So you are alive after all, what do you intend to do with my body?" – " Silence!", screamed Vergil and then said , "I will not tolerate your petty questions for any longer, brother". -"You are gonna pay for what you're doing to me Vergil!", Dante said and then there was silence….. All Dante could do now was watch, watch while Vergil using his body had reached the roof and readied himself to jump on the glass floor that led to a ceremonial room of sorts. He was filled with anger but also unable to react. At least in some twisted way he would get his revenge and amulet back, but for now he could do nothing and so he buried himself in shame, watching………………………
