Devil May Cry

Dimensions to your world and the next

Chapter 17

Warnings: Violence and Language (as far as I know)

*Author's Note: Gee, I wonder what's happening now, gotta be interesting, y'know? I don't want Dante to grab 'you' back right away this time, like he usually does. It wouldn't be as fun.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dante's POV (Wooo!)

I continued to slash through the demons as much as I could, but the little bastards just kept coming. Just as a demon tried to grab me with those scrawny little claws, I jumped back, flipping backwards and landing on the roof of the white van. I sheathed back Rebellion and took out my faithful Ebony and Ivory. I began shooting down all the demons with a twisted grin on my face. Just as I turned to aim at a few more I noticed that tall guy in the white robe was holding something in his arms and bringing it towards the car. He turned a bit and I recognized that it was _________, unconscious in his arms.

"Shit," I cussed under my breath and jumped off of the roof to the van. I flipped in the air skillfully and landed on the roof of his car, a gun pointed directly at the man in white. "Let her go," I said sternly.

"Ah, Dante, the son of Sparda, tell me, what is your connection with this girl? Why is it that you wish to protect her?" Eerious asked with a smirk.

"You're persistence of capturing her entertains and amuses me, is all," I replied.

"So, this is all just fun and games for you?" Eerious pressed on.

"You can say something like that," I said, my gun still pointed at his head. "Now, let her go."

"It is not my place to do so," Eerious simply remarked with a grin. Suddenly a large number of demons jumped towards me. I was tackled down aggressively to the floor. I rolled onto my feet, immediately taking out my sword and slashing through them. Eerious took this time to put __________ in the back seat of the car. He closed the door and made his way to the passenger side, oblivious that ___________ was already beginning to gain consciousness.

Your POV

"Ugh..." you groaned but it was only muffled by the cloth over your mouth. You held your head and soon sat up, pulling your gag off. "Damn it, where am I?"

"I didn't expect you to wake so soon, your spiritual energy is stronger then I expected," you heard Eerious speak as he enter into the car.

"What the hell?! Let me out of here!" you exclaimed and tried to open the car door but it wouldn't budge.

"I'm afraid I can't do that, you are quite useful to us," Eerious replied.

"Dante! Where's Dante?!" you shouted.

"Being occupied at the moment," he answered and looked towards a driver who seemed to be human, wearing a hooded cloak so it was difficult to see his profile. "Bring us back to the headquarters." The driver nodded and pressed his foot on the gas. You looked vigorously out the rear window in search of Dante until you spotted him trying to kill off a large number of demons that surrounded him. As he was slashing through them, he stole a glance at you, seeing the fear and stress in your eyes as you were held captive in the back of the car.

"__________, hold on!" he called out. You turned and tried opening the doors again but it to no avail.

"There is no use trying," Eerious told you, gazing back at you, "There is no way of escaping."

"Fuck you, there is no way I'm going back to that guy with a ripped off Final Fantasy name!" you shouted through gritted teeth. Eerious looked at you a little puzzled, but hid it.

"You have no choice," he retorted before looking back forward as the car was driving away from the parking lot and back to the road. God damn it, I feel like a damsel in distress for saying this, but, Dante, get your ass over here and save me already! You looked back at the window, seeing that you were getting rather far from Dante. He had killed the last remaining demon before turning his attention to the escaping car you were in. He sheathed back Rebellion and began running after the car, but unfortunately it was beginning to gain up speed.

He's too slow to catch it, if only I could distract the driver or something, you thought, about to turn your gaze towards the driver when you saw a light begin to engulf Dante's body. What the...? A circular orb surrounded him, and vanished away, as if it was never there, but in place of Dante's body was that of a demon. It was Dante's demon form.

Dante goes demon! He's so freaking awesome! you shouted in your head with glee as Dante's pace quickened rather swiftly. You grinned to yourself as you watched him run up the car. Just as he got to the rear he quickly jumped onto the roof of the vehicle. You could hear his footsteps run across it.

"Curses, he caught up, shake him off," Eerious ordered to the driver. But before the driver could do anything Dante jumped off of the hood of the car and landed in front of it.

"He's going to get hit!" you said, watching as you neared Dante but suddenly he lifted his fist and threw it straight down on the hood hard, causing the whole vehicle to lift from it's front. You held on the seats while Eerious flew right into the windshield along with the driver. Heh, idiots, you should have worn your seat belts, you mocked. Suddenly the vehicle was thrown straight back down to its wheels causing you to hit your back on the roof of the car.

"Ugh...couldn't he at least be gentle?" you groaned as you lay on the car's floor.

*Author's Note: Darn, so close, too. Ah well, they'll be back, and maybe they'll succeed next time. I want them to, 'cause it'd be funny to actually get captured and tortured in this ^^
