You starred towards Dante, moving your gaze to look into both of his eyes. His hands tempted to brush the tears away from your cheeks but he was still bound tightly. You bowed your head away from his line of vision, feeling his lips press against the top of your head.

"I want you to be careful around them. Don't let them touch you. I'll be out of here in no time," Dante told you. Slowly, you nodded.

"Times up. I think you have conversed enough," Aeon spoke up, stepping in. "Back away from him, girl." Reluctantly, you obeyed, taking a few steps away. Aeon walked into Dante's lane of vision, smirking. "I'm sure you are ready for your demise, devil?"

"More or less," Dante replied. "But, are you sure you're hunk of junk can destroy me so easily? I am the son of Sparda after all."

"Do not test me. Your attitude will not save you, and I am sure that you would not like those to be your last words. Once I have you out of the way, I will form destruction upon this earth. Those who wish to join me will be used as my pawns, and the others...well, they will know the true meaning of fear. I will do what I was stopped to do, when your father locked the gates to the demon world. Your girl will obey my every word in helping me fulfill my wish, whether she likes it or not. Soon, I will be the ruler of all dimensions," Aeon said. Dante snorted.

"You talk too much, you know that? In case you haven't noticed, but you can't destroy me so easily."

"Is that so?" Aeon said, narrowing his eyes at Dante. "Eerious, take the girl away." Your eyes widened. Why was he taking you somewhere else?

"As you wish," Eerious replied like a robot. He walked up to your side and grabbed your upper arm. You shook your head in protest.

"Wait, no...I'm not leaving him," you babbled. Eerious pulled your roughly with him towards the doors that you had entered to this room. Dante watched you as you were dragged out. What was Dante's plan? How was he going to get out of this mess? "Get your hands off of me!" you shouted. Eerious growled.

"You are certainly not a pleasant woman. Whenever I get the chance, I shall make sure I shut that irritable mouth of yours," he retorted. The look in his eyes forced you to close your mouth tightly. His golden eye glowed darkly with his anger. "Aeon might need you for the time being, but he will not tolerate your behavior. You are lucky he is not forcing you to watch your love, die." He was right. Why had Aeon let you go? Hadn't he said that he was going to force you to watch the impalement of Dante? He must have had a change of mind some how. Eerious pulled you along a hall that seemed to go on forever. You just wanted to sit. Your legs felt so sore. You wanted to be back home, and lay on your lovely, soft bed. Eerious then stopped in front of a large bronze door, turning the round crystal knob. He opened the door and pushed you in.

"You will stay here until I, or Lord Aeon, comes to grab you, understood? I will not easily dismiss your attitude as Aeon would. He hasn't given me the order of not hurting you," he threatened. He sent a hostile glare before turning and slamming the door behind him. You flipped the bird to his back as he left. Sure, he was scary but hell you weren't going to take that kind of shit.

"I'm so sick of these people," you growled and looked around the room. It seemed to be a storage space. Many different sculptures were huddled in the corners of the room, cobwebs forming around them. A thick sheet of dust over top. You felt dust particle flow up your nostrils and instantly, you sneezed. You groaned. "Dammit! I want out," you demanded, but no one was there to hear the order. You worried about Dante and how he was right now. Had they already started the ritual? You hoped not. Your hopes crumbled once you heard the tormented scream of Dante's. It echoed through out the area. The sound held so much pain. They were drawing his blood from inside him, possibly all the veins in his body were exploding. You ran to the door, banging your fists against it.

"Dante!" you shouted, desperate to help him. You leaned your forehead against the door. "I'm so useless..." you whispered. You cringed again at that scream. Oh, God... You backed away slowly from the door, running back towards it and banging your shoulder into it. Not even a little dent. You tried again and again. Each time, your shoulder throbbed.

You finally gave up, backing away from the door and rubbing your sore shoulder. Suddenly, you felt the walls and ceiling shake. You lost your balance and fell on your buttocks. Screeches were heard in the hall, more loud explosions and what sounded like stone being broken. "What the hell is going on?"

Third Person P.O.V.

Dante could not stand the immense pain in his body when Aeon had activated the stone he was bounded on. Demons surrounded him, for what, he did not know. All he knew was the pain and throbbing like his body was about to split open. His blood was pouring from his body and the stone was glowing brighter. He clenched his teeth together until he felt something odd go through him. An emotion, distress maybe? It was not his emotion. It felt like it came from someone else. This emotion was great and he could faintly hear a voice in his head. "Dante!", "I'm so useless..." That was _________'s voice! He could feel her through him, feel what she was feeling. His body was beginning to feel less weak.

Was he getting stronger? A stream of power was flowing through his veins. This feeling...it was just the same when _________ was giving her energy to him. He felt his wounds begin to heal and the light behind his back, lower. Aeon's face rose with suspicion.

"What is the meaning of this?!" he shouted. Dante smirked. He could feel her power, it was overwhelming and he knew what to do now. Dante let out an excruciating cry, his body overflowing with a bright light. His body changed instantly to his Devil-trigger form. The stone began to shake and Dante let out another cry, his body growing brighter. Aeon took a step back, gazing at him with surprise. "How can this be?" he asked himself.

"Sir, how is this happening?" Eerious spoke up. A crackle was then heard throughout the room. Cracks appeared on the surface of the stone, slithering like a snake towards the edges. The glow the stone held completely vanished, crevices all over the surface. Suddenly, the stone shattered into many fragments and Dante landed on his feet, breathing heavily. He began to laugh lightly; the look on everyone's faces amused him.

"Pay back's a bitch."
