"This is just fucking fantastic!" you shouted with sarcastic glee, "I am so dead." You rolled your eyes as you walked along side Dante through the alleyway away from Lucinda's shop.

"Hey, calm down. You'll be all right, because Dante's here," he told you.

You let out a light sigh; "I know you mean well, Dante, but..." you trailed off. You couldn't possibly understand what was going on. Since when were you able to travel dimensions? And how the hell were you able to push Lucinda and your self back with your aura? You let out a groan, "nothing makes sense anymore."

"Relax, things will. It's up to you, do you want to go back to my shop and go tomorrow to find this Maxis guy, or do you want to find him now?" Dante asked with a raised brow and his hands shoved in his pockets. You watched him for a moment and shrugged.

"Doesn't matter to me, where is this Maxis anyways?" you wondered. Dante took out a small calling card from his pocket that was given to him from Lucinda before you had left. He flipped the card over and examined it.

"It's going to take us a while to get to him. We need a car," Dante muttered, placing the card back into his pocket. You tilted your head back, letting out another sigh of disappointment.

"How about rent one?" you suggested and resumed looking at the sky. Dante nodded and the two of you began walking through the streets. The cold draft began picking up and all you could wish for is that damn rent shop to show up soon.

Dante and you have been walking for an unreasonable time. You couldn't remember what minute or hour it was for that matter--you didn't have a watch and neither did Dante. You could see though that the sky was beginning to darken and the street lights were beginning to light up. Pedestrians were walking at a fast pace towards their destinations, not wanting to stick around late in the evening outside. You let out a shaky sigh.

"Dante, how far is it?" you asked and began rubbing your arms merely for fear then for keeping warm.

"We'll get there faster if we go through the alleyways," he informed.

"But-" before you could refuse, Dante took your wrist and pulled you into a narrow alleyway that branched into another large one. You kept a cautious eye upon your surroundings, being careful at each step you took. Suddenly, from behind you, you heard a metal trash can fall over, causing you to twist your body around to examine the place. A meow was heard as a black cat hissed and ran off across your way. You then felt a hand on your shoulder making you jump.

"Hey, calm down," Dante told you. You let out a sigh with relief.

"Well, it's kind of hard to," you told him, "besides, a black cat just crossed my path, that's not a good sign."

"Don't be superstitious, it was just a cat," he said as he pushed your forward back to walking. You glared at him and crossed your arms.

"Whatever, if something bad happens, don't make me tell you 'I told you so'," you replied and looked away from him.

Dante only rolled his eyes and followed along. You both kept silent as you walked through the alleyways until you no longer heard Dante's footsteps behind you. You stopped and look back seeing that he had stopped and was looking around with a smirk. You cocked up a brow.

"What are you-?"

Dante cut you off, "Do you smell that?" You questioned him with a look and sniffed the air. You could smell a slight odor that tinged the polluted air. The aroma was not pleasant and you instantly covered your noise.

"What is that?" you asked in a muffled voice. Dante's grin grew wider as he looked beyond your shoulder at something and he slowly began reaching for Rebellion. Your eyes widen and you looked in the corner of your eye but you were not able to see anything. Slowly you turned your head and caught a glance of an abnormal large dark figure behind you. You instantly pinched your noise, smelling that the odor was coming from that thing. You swallowed hard, letting a gulping sound heard. Suddenly. the dark figure tried to grab you with its long, scaly arms, but you immediately ducked and covered your head just as Dante charged forward with Rebellion drawn.

You stood up and backed away as you watched Dante fight the large creature with his sword. The black scaly creature was large and tall in size. It's legs were long and scrawny, as if like an insect. It had large horns on its head, curved towards its face like a frame. Its claws were large, trying to grab at Dante at every opportunity. You began to take steps back, your hand to your chest as you starred at the demon with frightful eyes. Suddenly, you felt something tight around your waist. You yelped as you were pulled over some ones shoulder.

"Take care of the half demon," a croaked voice was heard from the one carrying you as he pointed with a bony figure at Dante. You gasped and immediately called his name.

"Let me go! Dante! I told you so!" you called to him as you began to hit your fists on your carriers back.
