A Devil Among Titans Chapter 7: Reunion of Blades.
A/N: Merry Holidays to everyone. Here is the next chapter. Also as you will notice there will be a few changes to the DMC canon. Oh and I don't own anything.
Dante layed sprawled on the bed. Dressed in only a shirt and boxers, the demon Hunter snorted loudly as he dreamt of happier times. "Mom, Virgil stole my pizza." He mumbled tiredly. Unbeknownst to Dante, a certain Lance Corporal stood in front of his bed with a look of utter distaste on his face. "Wake up you lazy ass." He said coldly. "Breakfast is in a few minutes, I expect you to have this bed made before you head down to eat." And with that short but rude message, Levi kicked the bed over, sending the half demon toppling onto the floor with the bed on his back. The black haired officer then left the room and headed to go eat
"What a rude dude." Dante mumbled, scratching his head lazily as he stood up and flipped his bed. It didn't take much time for Dante to clean up and before he knew it he was dressed and ready to take the day head on. Once he was at the mess hall, he took a spot with Levi and the remaining two of his Special Squad.
"Morning, kid. Seems like you ain't used to waking up this early in the morning eh?" Oluo chuckled.
Dante yawned, too tired to answer at theu moment. "I like to wake up on my own time. I had my own business so..." The rest of his statement was replaced with another yawn.
Petra just gave a sympathetic smile "Sorry Dante, but you're going to have to get used to it. Heichou wants everyone up early in the morning."
Before Dante could retort, Hange coughed to get everyone's attention. "Alright everyone who is on this mission, we leave in an hour. Carry on." The Major then nodded before leaving the mess hall. Levi finished his meal and silently stood up, going to his quarters to prepare.
Dante arched an eyebrow "Eh, mission?" He asked, looking to Oluo and Petra for an answer.
"We've got a lead on who the Female Titan might be." Oluo answered "A very strong lead."
"Is everyone going?" The half demon asked.
Petra shook her head,"No. Oluo and I are staying in order to keep an eye on you. Levi Heichou's orders."
Dante sighed "Come on, its not like I'll burn down the whole place while you're all gone."
Oluo just smirked "Yeah sure you won't." Imitating the Corporal's mannerisms "I can't trust shitty brats like you to not leave a stain in this immaculate castle."
His mimicking earned him an elbow to the gut by Petra.
"So what are we going to do here? Besides sitting with our feet up and drinking of course." The half demon asked with a smirk, which was returned by Oluo.
"Heheh good idea Dante. A warrior's well deserved break." Oluo chuckled.
Petra merely glared at the pair "No, were going to restock on supplies and if we have free time, clean up the place and train."
The older man rolled his eyes. "Petra, you're acting like my mom even when you're way younger than me."
Dante just crossed his arms and watched the two bicker. 'Lively bunch.' He thought to himself.
Petra just stuck her tongue out at Oluo "Since you're being such an ass you're gonna stay here and clean." She turned her amber eyes to Dante "Dante, you can either stay here with Oluo to clean or you can come with me to the market and shop for supplies."
Dante looked to Oluo and then to Petra before standing up. "Sorry Oluo, but me and the mop have had a rough history."
"Oi! Don't leave me to clean this place by myself Dante!"
The demon hunter's back was already turned as he waved goodbye "I'll pick somethin up for you."
-Outside-
As Dante went outside, his pale skin was bombarded with rays of sunshine. "The Sun was never a bother to me before." He muttered to himself. "Petra, do you think it's a lot hotter today then yesterday?"
The short woman hummed while thinking of an answer "No, it was the same as yesterday. Why?"
'Nothings the same since yesterday' He thought to himself "Nothing, just asking."
Petra gave Dante a questioning look before merely waving it off "Oh almost forgot here's the money issued for the supplies." She tossed him a hefty bag of coins.
Dante weighed the bag in his hands before following Petra to the market.
"So tell me, why do you and Oluo hang around a grouch like Levi?"
Petra frowned at his little insult at her Corporal before answering, "Long story but we're part of a Special Task force under his command."
He nodded "Huh. Thought you guys were just regular scouting guys like the rest of em. You two must be good considering you and the old man are the only ones in the squad."
The woman hesitated a moment before correcting him "There were...two others. Close friends. They were killed by that Female Type."
Dante's eyed took on a serious look, "I'm sorry," he said "I would've saved em too if I had the chance.
She shook her head "Its not your fault. And I know we've said this before but thank you for saving us...saving me. Heichou might not show it but he's thankful as well."
Dante let her statements swirl in his mind "Hey." He said, trying to sound cheerful again "No need to thank me. Saving beautiful women in distress is one of my favorite past times."
Petra's cheeks were tinted a light pink, caught off guard by his comment.
Dante just laughed but before he had the chance to say something a sharp pain encompassed his right arm as blood and red leather was cut from it.
Petra looked shocked, here eyes widened in fear before turning back at the man who cut Dante.
He was clad in a blue trench coat with a strange curved sword in his hand.
Dante clutched his bleeding arm before pulling out Rebellion "How the hell did you end up here?"
"That demon you were hunting was quiet slippery...Brother." The man looked just like Dante, save for the clothing and the differently styled hair. "Lady should've had someone who was competent do the job."
A/N: Yeah in this universe, Dante managed to save Vergil from Mundus's grasp. And now they work in the same business with Trish and Lady.
