Chapter 7: The Demon of Greed
Hello there and it's been a long time since I abandoned this story because I got a lot of work to do and I have a writer block. Right now, I'm actually focus on my other fic which is Fallen Angel ( I am having a Sterek fever until the DMC comes out, I think it'll never over) but as I say I don't want this story left hanging so here I am again to continue the story and hopefully end this part one of the Nephilim series. Yes, I'm making this as a series and with enough time and idea, I can pull it through. Oh and one more thing, if any one of you kind enough to become my beta, you can always contact me through PM and don't worry…I'll reply as soon I see the message.
Disclaimer: I didn't own DMC, Capcom did and I'm only the writer that wants to fulfil her dreams he he…
Okay, don't waste more time and let's get into the story shall we?

The day is finally come, Dante already prepared himself for the next upcoming event, they plan this day because it is suppose to be the annual celebrations of the Casino's 10th year anniversary. The only thing that played in Dante's mind, beat Mammon and paralyse one of the demon main source of money and their influence towards the mortal. Kat's plan is simple, don't attract too many attentions because the security is tight, one slight mistakes and Dante will die instantly. As he jumps and go to the place at the centre of the city he can already sense the strong aura and maybe Gabriel was right, this is no place to have fun. Two more blocks and he already got stops by some the Stygian and the Elite Stygian, the world begins to turn as the sky become blood-red and the building wrapped in a black shards. They're ready to attack and Dante takes out his Rebellion.
"You fucker, don't stand in my way"
They all attack at the same time and Dante quickly pulls out the twins to shoots them down. The Stygian makes a shrieking sound and immobile to do anything, Dante seize this opportunity by slashing them one by one and just when he thoughts it's already over, a new wave of demons come to him. A couple of fighting and Dante realize they only stalling him from getting near to the leader, he must find another way to get into the casino.
"Shit, I got to get out of here"
The demons chasing him like a mad boar and Dante keep jumping from one building to another, hoping to escape the chase. This is madness, he never fights so many demons before and it increases since the defeat of Mundus. the Stygian caught him off guard and ready to damage when someone helps him to kill the demon, he looks at his saviour and it is none other than the angel himself, Gabriel.
"What are you doing here?"
"I know you will have difficult times to deal with this so I'm here to give you support"
Dante sends a glare at Gabriel, telling him that he can do this by himself and doesn't need any help from the angel. Gabriel just chuckles and spreads his wings, flying away and begin to attack the other demons. The world returns to normal and he manage to sneak into the grand casino and finds himself a waiter's suit, he brings some of the drink and then goes to the main entry. He can see many VIP's and celebrities are here to celebrate their own enjoyment but for Dante, the only fun he will find is to kill Mammon and destroys the demon empire from ruling the world. The girls are pleasing the guest and plays along with the game but he knows they only make the mortal to stay in that place, he put the glass down when suddenly he hears the loud claps and all the people are gathering at the main hall. Dante should've guess it, Mammon making his own appearance and besides him is someone he knew. The dark navy blue tuxedo and his clean-cut white hair.
"Vergil?"
What is he doing here? He could see Vergil just standing there quiet and watch the gambling god gives his speech. Thank for Kat, the demon didn't recognize his scents since he activates the charm when he comes to the grand casino. It'll only last for two hours before the place become riot and that's the reason he cannot wear it outside or the charms will drain faster. He sneakily through the crowds to go behind and keep his watch on Mammon, he also wants to avoid Vergil from noticing him or their plans would fail and that would be no good. He will never let that shit happens.
"Enjoy the services that we serve here and the games. WELCOME!"
The claps storming through the hell and Dante waste no time to look around for the security room, he also need to find Mammon's room quickly before he got caught by the demon. What he doesn't know that someone is watching him and intends to stay that way.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Another lame party he had to attend where girls become slutty and guise become wild, well that was Vergil thought. Standing beside Mammon during the opening ceremony, he can see a lot of celebrities and rich people chatting around but he doesn't care about that. Somehow, his eyes caught into far more interesting…apparently his cute little Nephilim come to this party as well. His little brother dresses as one of the waiter with glass full of cocktails and champagne when Vergil takes a closer look at him. He doesn't sense any demonic aura from Dante, only come to conclusions that he use a charm of powder (Kat's work) to cover his scent. How Vergil want to smell that lovely scent again, the memories lingers in his mind when Dante spreads his legs and warm arms embrace him with gentle measure. Desire and lust begin to stirs in him as he gone deeper into the memories, he yearns for more touch and affections from his sweet little brother. He then realize Dante is already disappear from his sight and he intends to find him soon even though it'll be ugly.
"Don't you enjoy the party?"
He turns around and finds a woman with low-cut dress and dark red lipstick comes to him. Having no time to make a great and decent conversations, he just walk away from there and starts to find his precious little angels. Searching through the crowd, it's hard to find someone when they're dancing around and gambling like there's no end until he see a glimpse of him at the back of the security room. He follows his instincts and peeks through the security room, he found Dante knocks out the security and watch the screen to find Mammon. Jackpot! He slowly sneaks in and closes the door with soft clicks when Dante turns around, Vergil knows it's too late to turn back now…
"Hello, Dante…"
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Dante manage to pass through the security room and access all the security cam from all places, he looks around to find out where Mammon is so he can bring down that son of a bitch. While his eyes lurking around the screens, he didn't notice the presence behind him and when he hears the soft click Dante immediately turns around and his brother stands proud in front of him with smirks on his face (that bastard)
"Hello, Dante"
He is ready to fight but not the right time, it'll attract unwanted attentions and he can run into a lot of troubles.
"Vergil"
His half-brother smiles and he dislikes that very much.
"I wonder what are you doing here since you're not invited to this party"
"Stands back, this is none of your business"
He want to throws out his sword but the demons instantly knows he's here and drags him into Limbo. How he hate this situation with Vergil taunts him like that.
"It's my business when you want to kill one of my followers"
Dante moves swiftly and pushes Vergil right to the wall, with fist directly point to the face. His brother looks calm and waiting for what happen next.
"Out of my way Vergil!"
Suddenly, he's one got pinned and Vergil holds his hand with firm grip, not letting him go. He squirm and tries to escape but the grip is tight and their face closes together. Vergil inches closer, mouth close to his ear then whisper.
"Don't you remember the night we spends together, how you beautifully submit to me?"
Face flashes beet red and Dante pushes him away with force, he tries to forget that night and thanks to the douchebag…he remembers all of it again, every fucking details about it . He can see the smug on Vergil's face and Dante want to rips that apart.
"Don't you dare to mention that again."
"You can fight it and destroys my army but bear in your mind that your body belongs to me"
The voice sharps like a knife and he shivers when he hears that, Vergil really digs in to his shit. Suddenly, Vergil steps forwards and grabs his waist as he kisses his mouth then his hand worming through Dante's body. He felts an urge to resists but that mouth is talented and Dante is drown when the tongue seeking for entrance. He takes that moment to open his mouth and bites Vergil's tongue, Vergil flinched back and wipes the blood from his mouth.
"I will not let you take advantage of me easily"
His half-brother only grins and takes out his sword to open the portal, he looks back and leaves Dante all alone with the dead security guard as he enters it. He can see Vergil going to be his biggest problem if he can't fights him from beginning.
"Now he's gone, back to the main mission"
He continues to search through the room and finally found the VIP room, apparently it is located at the southeast wing of the building where certain people can walk in there and guarded by a bunch of security guard. He has no problem to knocking out the guard, the only problem lies is Mammon himself.
"It's time to rumble"
With a bit of Kat's witchcraft help, he able to pass through the crowds in no time and reach his destination. It looks like a long hallway when it starts to change into the room of hell, where people's soul chains into several room then screaming for help. Dante can sense the mortal's greed when they're winning the gamble and decides to have more until the end they broke loose. A bit of trigger can bring devastating result and he need to stop that before it spreads even more, as he sprints through the hallway…he comes through the VIP room but before he can go in, he needs to fight the demons that guards the door. The body is pure gold with a big sword in their hand, one blow and it can be fatal. They starts to attack and Dante able to block some of the attack, he shots them using the shotgun when he watch small cracks between the impenetrable shields.
"You know about the big dudes?"
He slides through between them and both of the guns directly point at the back of the demons head.
"They have powerful strike but weakest reflections"
Before they can counterattack, Dante shots their head and the pieces fades into the thin air. He kicks the VIP door and Mammon drinking his wine, his true nature are shown. Wearing the gold crown in his head, the demon appears have a big rounded stomach and his breathes heavily with round bulge eyes then a lot of the souls begging to his feet, worshipping him and ask for his wealth. He puts down his drink and stands up, he is bigger than the Nephilim but that doesn't stop Dante from fighting him.
"The son of Sparda is finally here"
"I come here to end your life, you ugly piece of shit"
He laughs and the room shakes, gold coins flowing through the cracks and the people starts to gather all of them and some of them are fighting and kills each other to protect and take the others.
"You can have all of this son of Sparda, money can control everything"
Mammon rises up the gold and beautiful girls appears in front of him as they sway and dance to amuse him.
"Have anything you like, to control the earth and universe"
"Enough bargains shithead, time to DIE!"
Dante lurches forward and Rebellion takes its first hit when he realize he's beating a full pack of coin. The loud laugh can be heard again and this time the owner is nowhere to be found.
"Haha, you think you can hit me?"
Mammon appears to his left side and he rises some of his demons to distract Dante off while he tries to attack him with his weapon. Dante switch his sword into Ebony and Ivory and shoots all the demons to buy him some time then attack the boss. He finishes them off with single blow and go ahead to attack Mammon but it's harder than it looks. Mammon has the power to teleports himself using the gold power and able to rises the demons using the gold coin, this seems like a hard fight but then Dante notice something. The demon of greed can only teleports one place at a time (depending on the source of the gold coin itself) and due to his heavyweight, he cannot move that much and maybe when the time is right Dante can beat him into a piles of crap. Now, he needs a way to taunt him.
"What's the matter son of Sparda? Can't fight me anymore?"
"No, but I can't stand to see your ugly face anymore you piece of shit!"
Mammon smashes the floor and the taunts working its way, he needs more so he got the chance to strike his way.
"Haa, you cannot fight me fatass! Bet you cannot swing your weapon to hit me"
It brings rage to Mammon and he smashes the floor several times but Dante able to block all the attacks. He finally sees the opportunity when Mammon need to take his breath because the demon use a lot of power, he brings out his Eryx and his fist clenches to begin the punch.
"Time to take your medication Mammon"
He begins to hit him and each punch does a massive damage to the demon, Mammon yells in pain and Dante continues to hit him. He knocks him up in the air and charging his power, Dante punches him hard and brings them back to the mortal world and the floor crashes down to the ground floor. Everyone is running and panic attack through the building.
"Last word Mammon….your party sucks!"
The demon is beaten to his death and then died at the exact moment, the arrogant Nephilim wipes his hand out and walk away from the casino when he enters the gold coin into the machine, he hits jackpot and money coming out from it like a river. Human starts to gather the money and forgets what happen just now. He backs to his apartment and lays down on the couch when Gabriel appears in front of him.
"What is it angel?"
"You beat the demon of greed, Mammon"
Dante rolls his eyes and turns away, he's too tired to deal with this shit.
"Haha, congratulations to me. What do I get for that? Get out, I want to sleep"
"This is not over yet Dante, there are six more you need to beat and that includes your own flesh brother"
He gets annoyed and stands up and place one of his hand on Gabriel's shoulder.
"Look, I already beat one and all I want now is some rest. Can I have that?"
Gabriel nods and Dante pats his shoulder when slumps back into the couch to continue his slumber. The angel stares at the body and see the beauty is in peace, he brushes the short hair and cheek then flies away to give Dante some space after a hard fight.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Mammon is defeated and Vergil cannot expect more from his half-brother, he becomes stronger. Vergil likes that because the love of his life must be equal to him and he find Dante is the most suitable partner for him. One demon cannot hurt him and he can continue to conquer the earth without their consent, all he need is Dante.

YES! It takes me a long time to write this chapter back, anyway im proud to announce that I am back and hell yeah. The reason I didn't write is I have a lot of things going on and apparently at that time I didn't have my laptop so I need to write this from my father's laptop (imagining how hard it is to cover it up). Anyway, I'll try to write more although it's not that long but at least progressing. Next time, it's going to be a lot of work but I hope I can pull through and continue my other fic as well. Wish me luck and pray I can write fast hehe. Your comments are highly appreciate *wink
