Arriving at your destination (a silent walk of course without talking to Vergil or Dante), you carefully make your way towards the factory, avoiding any demons guarding the place. Slowly, you managed to slip into the factory without being caught –or that's what you thought-.

Zack groaned, awakening from his long sleep. In front of him is CCTV monitors showing different views of the old factory. He was sitting on a chair, with his legs and wrists tied up. Struggling to loose himself, he heard chuckles from behind him in the corner. It was dark. Zack narrowed his eyes and saw a man in the fox mask came out of the shadow, standing at his side.

"Where are the others?" he asked the masked man.

The man didn't say anything but throws a necklace, bandanas and things that once belonged to his teammates in front of him. Getting what it meant, Zack was very furious as he breathed heavily under his breath, gritting his teeth.

"You son of a bitch," He said as he tried to calm himself. His training in the military base has taught him not to act irrationally. Before he finished puzzling everything in his minds, another voice came out from another dark corner.

"Looks like we have guests," the blond man earlier steps out of the shadow and motioned his hand towards one of the TVs in front. Zack couldn't believe what he saw; you and the twins are fighting off demons. Groaning, Zack shook his body harder trying to loose himself.

"It's useless boy. I will not let you go that easy," the man laughed and stared onto the image of the three of you on the screen.

"Soon, very soon…. I will have her heart in my hand," the man stops laughing and formed a sick, twisted evil grin on his face.

You battled your way in the factory. More countless demons came attacking the three of you. Charging and slicing the demons in front of you, you got separated from Dante and Vergil. You know those two will survive, so you let your feet drag wherever your instincts told you to. You saw a staircase and headed to it. Making your way upstairs, you saw a door slightly open. You tried to peek in but when you saw your brother tied up, you kicked the door opened sending it to bounce a little when it hits the wall behind.

"Mts-uh-trph!" Zack's mouth was shut with a duct tape that you can't even register what he's trying to say.

"Zack, I'm so sorry," You tried to loosen the ropes on his hand but couldn't.

Zack tried to yell but he couldn't. Seeing a shadow lifting its arms behind you, you gasped and rolled to your side. The sword from the man's hand hit the ground as you quickly turned to see your attacker.

"I've been waiting for you my dear," he carved an evil smirk as he swung his sword again. This time, it clashes with your twin swords. Balancing your feet, you stood up, straining yourself from stumbling onto the cold ground.

"I see you've missed me. Is that why you're here, Albion?" you smirked back at him.

The man laughed out hysterically, "I missed you so bad that I wanted to rip your heart out with my own hands! You have no idea how it feels like being dragged to hell countless times! I WILL BRING YOU WITH ME!"

You leaned down a bit, kicking his feet causing him to stumble onto his back. As he grunted, you kicked away his sword and leaped over him, sending a few punches over his face. When you raised your right knuckles, a hand grabbed it and sent you flying across the room. With the back of your head bumping against the wall, your visions blurred a little. Shaking your head, your visions slowly recovered and you saw a masked man standing in front of you.

"Sis!" Zack somehow managed to loosen the duct tape and breaks free from the rope that was on him. He tackled the masked man and swiftly throws him away to the side. His crescent moon pendant seems to be glowing with a purplish color around it. Zack doesn't seem to notice it though.

Albion screams and charged towards you. With Zack now busied himself against the masked man, you focused yourself to the blond guy who's currently losing his mind, wanting to kill you. You remembered hunting him down several times, sending him back to hell again and again. It was pretty weird though; how did he manage to get back here? He was supposed to die, rotting in hell.

"How many times do I have to send you over and over again?!" you yelled as you charged back towards him. With one sword blocking Albion's attack, you swung your other sword, stabbing him in his chest.

Albion cried in pain, and fell on his knees. He coughed for a moment and later, the coughs turned into a sick hysterical laugh. You curved your eyebrows in confusion.

"You can't kill me the same way you did the last time," he grins as he stared into your eyes.

His icy blue eyes now turned bloody red, and his pupil changed similar to a pupil of a cat. His teeth sharpens, protruding from his mouth and his nails grows longer.

"Oh boy. Aren't you one ugly thing," you muttered.

He growled and his speed increases just as he tackles you. You grunted when the back of your head hits the floor and blurry vision consumes you again. Looking at your chest, he wanted to rip your heart out. Raising his hand in the air, the sound of a gunshot echoed through your ears. As your vision slowly returns, you saw Albion's hand covered in blood; his own blood and a blue summoned sword piercing through his chest. He stared at you with his hand still in the air. Not satisfied enough, he picked you up by the collar of your shirt and throws you over to a piece of metal sticking out from the wall. Before it pierced your body, Vergil jumped behind you and catches you. He stumbled a bit that the pointy metal almost pierced through his body. In a blink on an eye, Dante was right next to Albion, pointing his ivory to the man's head.

"Hey Blondie," He smirked. "Ripping a woman's heart to win? That is so old school dude," before Albion could shriek, Dante pulled the trigger sending the bullet through his head. Albion falls onto the floor and a pool of blood flows on the floor beneath his face.

_Meanwhile; [Back to Zack]_

Zack stared at the masked man and smirked, "What's wrong shy boy? Too embarrassed to show your ugly face?"

The man breathes heavily and pulled out a black dagger with a snake carved on its sharp surface. He's now calmed and Zack can feel him smirking behind his mask. Without his gun or weapon by his side, he pulled up his knuckles ready to engage in combat battle.

"Well, that's fair," he sarcastically said to the man in front of him.

The masked man swung his dagger to Zack as he easily dodged it. Sending the dagger across his chest, it almost slices him. Zack turned, sending kick to the man's chest but failed. The man back flipped, with his foot almost hitting Zack's chin. Thanks to Zack's fast reflexes, he managed to dodge it. Sending a few jabs and uppercuts, Zack couldn't hit the mask man.

"Damn it," he muttered.

"Hey kid!" Zack turn to see Dante throwing a dagger to him. It seems like Dante found one while strolling his way here. Smirking, Zack turns his focused back towards the mask man.

In a swift motion, all adrenalines rushed within Zack's system and the two of them engaged in a close-range combat battle. After a few strike, Zack hits the mask, sending it flying across the room. Zack took a quick glance towards the mask and turned to look at the man's face. His eyes widened as he could not believe who he saw.

"C-captain?" he mumbled.

As Zack lowered his dagger, Vergil sent his blue summoned sword over to the man's chest causing him to grunt.

"No! Don't!" Zack screamed. "Captain, why?" Zack couldn't find anything to say. He stood there looking down to his captain who is now kneeling and gasping for air.

"I don't- I don't get it. You're…." Zack couldn't believe it when he saw that his captain is no longer breathing and his body slowly disappearing into ashes.

Dante and Vergil saw you pinned down by Albion. Before he could rip your heart, the two of them hurriedly stepped in to save you. Vergil saw you thrown over to the piece of metal sticking out from the wall. With his inhuman abilities, he disappeared from his spot and appeared behind you, catching you from getting pierced through the protruding metal on the wall.

Zack ran over to you as Dante shot Albion, "Sis!"

You panted slightly as you stared at Albion's blood. Vergil sets you down and you broke your gaze when you feel Zack's hand grabbing your shoulder. When you saw him, your tears trickled down your cheeks and you pushed yourself, hugging him tightly.

"Am I your big brother now?" Zack said as he returned your hug and chuckled a little. You scoffed, pulling away from him.

Dante joined you, smiling and standing right next to Vergil, "Aw, isn't that sweet? How bout a hug bro?" he smirked at Vergil.

Vergil frowned as he stares at him, indicating that it-is-not-funny.

Dante laughed and turned to look at you, "I'll take that as a no."

Zack pulled you up to your feet as you brushed away the dirt on your clothes.

"It's over….for now," Zack turns to Dante and Vergil.

The room was tensed at first but then it slowly fades. All four of you make your way out when you suddenly heard something dragging its feet.

You turned around and saw Albion jumping over you but before he could swipe you, Zack jumped in front of you grabbing Albion's shoulder and slit his throat with a dagger. As Albion disappeared into ashes, Zack felt something warm over his abdomen. Blood. His blood is now pooling up onto his clothes. Albion managed to stab him which was originally meant for you.

"Zack!" you caught him before he could fall. Zack grunted, pressing his abdomen trying to hold the blood from gushing out.

"I'm fine," he tried to breath, clenching his jaw. "Damn, this is why I hate 'happy' ending," Zack let out a small laugh.

Your visions are now blurred with tears as you embraced him in your hand.

"We have to take him now," Vergil pulled you back and wrapped Zack's arm around his shoulder. Grunting again, Zack stumbled a little, still pressing his palms on his abdomen.

As you reached outside, Zack dropped onto the ground. His legs were numb and his lips and face now turned deadly pale from losing too much blood. You quickly stepped next to him and grabbed him.

The pendant over Zack's chest now slightly glows and you whispered, 'please, save him.'

You closed your eyes and hold your hand onto his chest, letting your tears flow over your cheeks.

Zack couldn't open his eyes and his breath is now very shallow that it looks like he's not even breathing. Opening your eyes, you pulled out your bracelets and pushed the crescent-moon shapes engraved on it over his pendants. You remembered that before your parents left, they gave you the pendant and the bracelets. Your father told you to always keep it safe and that it will always protect you. Your mother mentioned it a lot of times too and you just didn't know why. Now, you feel like this is the time to find out about it. Your bracelets and the pendant glows for a while, until eventually it fades out. Looking over your brother's face for a few seconds, he gasped, arching his body as he opened his eyes and mouth searching for air. His wound is now slowly healing.

'Thank you,' you whispered softly to yourself. Hugging him tightly, he grunted from underneath your tight grasp.

"Am I in Hell? Cause I don't see any freakin hot babes here," he groaned and joked a little.

Wiping your tears away with your muddy wrist, you smiled and hit him playfully, "Can't you say something nice to your savior?" you laughed.

Zack chuckled and tried to sit straight.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Miracles happened, duh," you playfully said to him not telling him that the pendant and your bracelets saved him.

He laughed until he stared onto the ground surface, "Hey sis? I'm sorry for what I said last time. You know, before the-"

"I know," you cut his sentence. "It was my fault too. I should've accepted the fact that you're a big boy now," you smile at him.

"Are you two done with the 'sweet brother and sister bond' scene here? I'm starving to death," Dante spoke in.

Both of you laughed, "Yeah, I'm starving too. Maybe I could have some cheese burger or pizza and beer on the way back," Zack stood up looking at Dante and Vergil. You followed his gaze and all of you made your way back home.

Letting Zack walking ahead of you, you smiled, turning to Vergil and Dante, "Thank you."

They didn't say anything back to you. They only stared at you when you turned to Zack and jumped onto his back, laughing.
Dante smiled a bit and walks ahead of Vergil. Halting a few steps away, he spoke, "Hey bro…uh.." Dante exhaled as he scratched the back of his head, "I just wanna let you know. If things are not going well around here, and I mean if shit happens, I will always have your back."

Vergil stood silent. Dante didn't turn to look at his brother so he doesn't really know whether Vergil is laughing inside or smirking or whatever. He slowly catches up to you and wrapped his arms around Zack only to annoy him, making him groan. Looking at the three of you in front, Vergil's lips form a faint smile that no one is able to see it from afar. He scoffed a bit and finally sets off, following you behind.
