Dante's Debt

Getting To Know Dante
Dante had been snoozing on the couch for what seemed like an eternity. The only reason he woke up was because he heard Bubbles screaming in terror.
He rushed upstairs and shot their room up, thinking a demon had been terrorizing Bubbles.
"What's going on?" Professor asked in major concern.
It turns out that Buttercup had been scaring poor Bubbles with scary stories.
"You mean to tell me that I woke up and shot your room up thinking a demon was terrorizing you and it was all because of a fucking scary story?" Dante barked, which really didn't help.
"You'll have to forgive Buttercup, she likes to be an instigator." Professor Utonium ebbed. "And watch the language Dante." Dr. Utonium barked at Dante.
"What does that mean?" Bubbles asked. "That means, she trying to get your goat." Blossom explained. Bubbles grabbed her stuffed goat and held it tight.
"I got a gig to go to… I'll be back later." Dante lazily smirked as he left.
About 20 minutes later, Dante was at his gig he needed to be at in Townsville Music Hall. The owner had a problem that may become a big issue if not taken care of.
Apparently, demons had been using the basement as a means to gather to plot against the City of Townsville for some time. The ring leader was none other than the funkiest, baddest, mother trucking demon in all of the Demon World, The Boogeyman.
Even Dante's name has been known to The Boogeyman.
Unfortunately, The Boogeyman had gotten smart and moved his HQ somewhere else.
His second gig was in Downtown Townsville at another gentlemen's club. Apparently, the rumor is a Cobra Demon was lurking around. Just like when Dante had his run in with Boa Kiss, Techno music was blaring so nobody would even know if there was demon activity going on.
A younger gentleman just happen to be by himself. He looked rather intimidated, (maybe because it's his first time) when an extremely sexy and exotic lady approached him.
She had a cobra around her neck. Not much was noticeable, except the fact that she wore snake fang earrings and most of her body was tattooed with a snake skin like pattern. She went by the name: Venomous Beauty.
Venomous Beauty asked him to escort him in the back. He followed her with no questions asked, like a love sick puppy.
Dante had approached them and sucker punched the young man and escorted Venomous wherever she wanted to go. The young man woke up not even knowing what happened.
In the back, it was just Dante and Venomous. "Tell me about yourself…" Venomous asked as she teased her breasts. "Not much," Dante smirked a bit, "You wouldn't happen to know anything about a cobra demon?" Dante asked.
"Honey, I get paid $90 plus tips for a lap dance. I don't have time for urban legends." Venomous smiled gently as she sat on his lap.
This is too easy…!
Dante thought with a evil smirk.
"That's a shame… I was hoping to meet up with her." Dante said sarcastically.
Venomous giggled and blushed a bit…
"Hope you don't mind the cobra…" Venomous smiled as she transformed, "It'll be the lasssssst thing you sssssssssee alive!" Venomous snarled and hissed at Dante in a demonic voice.
And just like before, Dante had no trouble with the cobra demon.
The owner was kind of expecting one of his "supposed" employees was the cobra demon. But he was grateful to know that nobody got hurt in the process and paid Dante for his services. To the owner, better safe than sorry, let alone have all these lawsuits.
Dante had been driving his motorcycle back home.
But something didn't seem right. His vision was a bit blurry and he wasn't feeling good. Dante pulled over and slumped over.
It was a good thing Ms. Keane had been coming home from shopping when she saw Dante slump. She took him to the hospital. It turns out Dante had been bit by a cobra and had been poisoned. And it was a good thing that Townsville Anti-Venom Forces were in the hospital at that time too, otherwise Dante would have died.
Ms. Keane had decided to stay with Dante, fearing the worst was yet to come.
Dante had fought through it and the next thing he knows, he's waking up in a hospital bed with Ms. Keane holding his hand. "what am i doing here?" Dante asked very groggy like.
"Thank God you're okay!" Ms. Keane teared up as she hugged him tight. "easy, get off me…" was Dante's only response.
Ms. Keane told him what had happened to him.
Dante: Must have been that damn cobra demon…
Ms. Keane: I had a feeling you were a demon hunter, yet you're a demon, but you look… So… human…
Dante: I'm a half-demon.
Ms. Keane: I know… I found out when you left the classroom. I misjudged you and I'm sorry.
Dante: eh… I'm used to it by now.
Ms. Keane spent all night at his bedside even when the doctors told her visiting hours were up. By morning, Dante was better and was let out of the hospital with all his weapons.
