21: Alright, I was asked a question by my best friend Isloft when I went to see him.
Phantom:... Isloft?
Dan: Damn his parent's must hate him.
21: It's his PS4 username. I'm not going to say his real name.
Phantom & Dan: Ooohhh.
21: So anyway, he asked me what I think of the new DMC compared to the old one.
Dan: Oh not that piece of crap.
21: Now hang on a minute, I admit there were some things I liked about it and some I didn't.
Phantom: More like a lot.
Dan: Alright what's what for you?
21: What I liked about the game was how they made Mundus into a demon billionaire. It was a new take in DMC instead of the usual 'go here and kill all the demons'.
Phantom: Huh, he's right, it was a nice change of pace.
21: And the demons were not bad to kill.
Dan: Hell yeah!
21: What I hated was how they made Dante half demon and half angel.
Phantom: Really, but I thought it was cool.
21: Oh it was cool itself, but for Dante it broke tradition, like taking away his white hair. There was something just more appealing about being half human and demon.
Dan: Don't forget the bullshit powers.
21: Oh don't even get me started! They made the Devil Trigger a glorified power up, and it was barley that! That power is suppose to release your true demon self, not a red super Saiyan.
Phantom: OK, so the game is cool on it's own, but as part of the DMC series-
Dan: It's complete shit.
21: Well that's all for now, lets start the story.
Phantom May Cry
Ch 7: The Truth in the First Job Part-1
Jazz's P.O.V
I could only shake my head in amusement as my brother fixes his black suit. "I still can't believe you are doing this." I said with a amusing tone.
"What, I might be a demon hunter, but that doesn't mean it's a great source of income." Danny said was we walked to the front double door.
"Oh, I'm not upset, just very amused. To think that my little brother would open a place like this." I said as we stood in front of the double doors.
"Tonight we open this place, and we do it with style." He said as he opened the double doors to revile a large crowd of people. "Welcome everyone, to the opening of the hottest club in the NYC, 'The Underworld'!" Danny yelled at the big neon sigh lit up on the building.
That's right, my brother, Daniel James Phantom, opened a nightclub in New Your City. After we left Amity about three months ago, we made our way to the big apple to start our new lives. Danny got a big inheritance from his birth parents, which he used to open 'Devil May Cry' and 'The Underworld'. Danny learned from his father that demon hunting may be exiting and helpful, but it isn't always profitable. So he opened a nightclub to bring in the main cash. I helped with all the paperwork when I wasn't going to college as Jasmine Alexis Phantom.
The crowd started to flow in with me and Danny at the side. "Well, let's go mingle." Danny said.
We were about to walk back in but was stop by someone. "Excuse me." Someone said grabbing our attention. We turn to see a blond women with blue eye, she was about 20, had a blue swatter on, a pair of jeans, a pair of glasses on, and was holding a black purse. "Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me where the clubs owner is at?"
I glanced to the side as I saw Danny step forward. "That would be me." Danny said.
The young women gave an amused smile, but she looked slightly annoyed. "Look cutie, I'm an intern at New York Times as a journalist, I don't have time for some guy trying to get into my paints. So if you could direct me to a Mr. Phantom that be really helpful."
Danny side, went behind himself to pulled out his wallet and show her his ID. "Still think I'm trying to 'get into your paints'?" Danny asked in a amused tone.
The young women looks at the ID and her pupil shrink. She looked back and forth between the picture and my brother. "Oh-oh my god! I am so sorry Mr. Phantom!" She stammered and blushed from embarrassment.
"Don't worry about it. Lots of people make that mistake, my brother isn't exactly mature looking." I reassured the girl and teased my brother at the same time.
Danny gave me a small glare with a smirk before looking back at the girl. "So what do you need me for?" He said trying to get back on track.
The young women let out a relived breath before speaking. "Like I said, I'm an intern from New York Times. I was asked by my boss to see if it was possible to get a interview from New York's newest and biggest nightclub owner." She said then gave Danny a slight pleading look. "Is it still possible?"
Danny gave a smile and nodded. "Yes it is. Let's go in and find a seat miss..."
"Kara, Kara Kent." The blond said with a smile.
Daniel's P.O.V
Me, Jazz, and Miss Kent all made our way back of the club in a special VIP section for me.(AN: I'm not really good at description of places, so think of 'LUX' from the T.V show 'Lucifer' only twice as big.) We all sat down on a fancy couch with a low table in front of us as the music played in the background but not too loud. As we settled in I stopped a waitress that was passing by. "Do you two want something to drink?" I asked.
"I would like some wine." Jazz said. She could never really take the hard stuff very well, but that didn't stop her from trying sometimes and when she did the results were... interesting.
"Water please." Kara said.
"I'll have a coke." I said to the waitress who nodded and walked off. I then looked back to the blond journalist. "So miss Kent, where do you want to start?"
"Please call me Kara."
"OK, and you can call me Daniel."
"And me Jazz."
Kara went into her purse and pulled out a small notepad and a pen, she clicked the pen and looked right at me. "OK, so start off by tell me about yourself."
I thought for a moment. "Well... I am NOT a normal guy, big fan of space, and I like to travel." I said, listing a few things off.
Kara wrote all this down then looked back to me. "What inspired you to open this club."
"Actually, this club is only one of my place of business so I could get money." I said as I rubbed my head sheepishly. "I own a service shop call 'Devil May Cry'."
Kara wrote this down then had a thoughtful look. "Wait, I think I seen it on my way here, about ten blocks away. It had a neon sign right?"
"That's the one." I said was the waitress came back and handed us our drinks.
Kara took a drink before asking me another question. "So what is the service shop for?"
Now this was the tricky part. "Umm... on a scale of 1 to 10, how open minded are you?" I asked because if she was not a person who runs in my area then there will be problems.
She was taken aback by but answered anyway. "I think maybe a 7?" She said not really sure.
I was contemplating to tell her or not but Jazz answered her. "How about this, you come to the shop tomorrow and we show you what my brother dose." Jazz offered, getting a nod out of Kara.
After that I started to answer her questions. Most were standard, like how I got my money or where I was from. When I told her I was from Amity Park, she asked if I've ever met Danny Phantom.
"Wait, your Danny Phantom!" She asked in complete shock.
"Yes. About two years ago I was exposed to a large amount of ecto-energy that should of killed me but didn't and instead give me ghost powers." I said explaining my origins. "After I got my powers I tried to keep all the ghost in check, even if the town saw me as a villain."
"So are alive or..." Kara trailed off, she look uncomfortable asking me.
"I'm alive," I said making her sigh in relief. "I just have ghost powers, so that makes me a meta-human."
"Could you um, show me one of your powers." Kara asked a little shyly.
I sighed as I rubbed my head. "Sorry to say this but I lost most of my ghost of powers." I said getting a shocked look from Kara. "About nine months ago there was a major ghost fight that resulted in most of my powers being lost. But I did get some new powers." I said with a reasserting smile.
After about 20 minuets Kara looked at her watch. "It's getting late, I should probably get home." She said as she got up.
"We'll walk you out." Jazz offered as she got up as well.
As we walked Kara through the club we were unfortunately stopped two frat boys with football jackets.
"Hey there sexy, want to go party me, we'll really have a good time." Said the first one as he throw his arm around Jazz.
"Is it true what they say about blonds being frisky?" Said the second one as he seemed to undress Kara with his.
The two girls looked annoyed as they pushed away the two guys. "Sorry but we were just leaving." Jazz said as she and Kara pushed pass the guys.
Unfortunately these guys were thick headed, the first one grabbed Jazz's arm. Not liking this I grabbed his arm, pushed him away. I stepped in front of the two girls and glared at the frat boys. "Don't touch my sister if you know what's good for you." I growled, a crowd started to form around use, murmuring about the a fight.
"Ha, get out of our way shorty or will mess you up!" The second said as he and the first one throw a punch at me but I caught both easily and flipped them both making them hit the ground, hard.
They groaned on the floor as a bouncer came through the crowd. "What's going on here!"
"Th-this guy just started attacking us!" One of the frat boys said, still on the floor.
"Yeah, he's crazy!" The other said pointing at me.
When the bouncer looked at me his eyes widen a bit before glaring a the two on the floor. "Are you two seriously accusing the OWNER of the club of starting a fight!" The bouncer yelled at the two as pulled them up. The two looked at me and the bouncer in disbelief.
"No way he is the owner!"
"Yeah, he's only a kid!"
The bouncer scoffed a bit. "Doesn't stop him from sighing my paychecks." He muttered with a smirk that made me and Jazz laugh a bit. "What do you want me to do with these two Mr. Phantom." He said as he easily lifted the two.
"Just escort them out, the only had a little too much to drink. Also Jeff, call me Daniel." I said to Jeff, he nodded and dragged the two frat boys away. We walked out of the club and I called Kara a taxi.
"Come by the shop around ten. Then my brother can show you what he really dose." Jazz said looking at Kara as Kara got into the taxi.
"Count on it." Kara said from inside.
"I'll bring Danielle so you can meet her." I said as the taxi started to drive off.
Kara popped her head out the window and looked right at me. "Who's Danielle?" She asked.
"My daughter!" I yelled back, grinning.
Kara nearly fell out the window and looked at me in shock. "WAIT, WHAT!" She yelled back, but I just waved as the car drove off.
I was inside the DMC shop behind my wooden desk waiting for Kara. I had Rebellion on the side and Ebony and Ivory in there holsters. The shop was simple, wooden floors, stares to the side that led to the upstairs apartment, there was a pool table, a couch with a table on the side. On a wall I had photos of some of my friends and teachers, even Clockwork was in one. Outside I had a neon sign that side 'Devil May Cry' while the D would flicker on and off to say 'evil may cry'. I left it that way because I thought it looked cool.
But the real special thing about this shop was the steel door behind me. This door leads to a pocket dimension where I have complete control over, which I call 'The Vault'. The Vault was made by Nelson, the reason, I know in the future that I will run into dangerous artifacts and this is the best place to store them and I am the only one who can access them or go into the vault.
I look at the time and see it's 9:50. "Kara should be here soon."
"So what exactly are you going to tell her dad?" Dani asked while playing on a game device.
"The truth." I said as I leaned back into my chair and kicked my feat on the desk.
"You sure that's a good idea?" Jazz asked looking up from her text book. "She might just call you a nut job."
I shrugged at Jazz. "It is what it is, I don't care because this is going to happen no mater what."
As soon as I finished speaking Kara walked in. "Daniel?."
"Hey Kara." I said, waving her come over.
"So this is the place." She said as she looked around. "Cozy."
"Thanks."
"So wheres the baby, Danielle was it?" She asked.
Danielle looked up from her game and glared at Kara. "Hey, who are you calling a baby!?"
Kara was taken aback from Danielle and looked at her in shock. "Wait, your Danielle!?" Kara yelled, pointing at Dani.
Dani crossed her armed. "I prefer Dani with an i."
Kara then started looking back and forth between Dani and me. "Bu-bu-but how!? I thought you said Danielle was you daughter!"
"She is." I said with a nod.
"But that's impossible!" Kara said harshly. "She is at lest half your age, there is no way she can be your daughter!"
I sighed and looked Kara right in the eyes. "Kara." I said in a calm voice. "Drop it." She looked at me in shock again. "Danielle is my daughter and that's final."
Kara took a couple of deep breaths before speaking. "Fine let's move on then. What can you tell me about this shop." She said trying to forget the shocking news.
"Well the shop has only been open for about a week." Jazz said. "So Danny doesn't exactly have a lot clients."
"But I'm not worried, we'll get some clients-" That is when the phone rang surprising everyone. "Soon."
Dani jumped from the couch and ran over to me. "Finally, a job!" She said excitedly.
I put my hand up and grabbed the phone. "Devil May Cry."
There was a bit of silence on the other end before a almost child like voice spoke with a echo. "Hello Phantom." The voice spoke with some power.
As soon as the voice I knew this was NOT an normal client. "How may I help you.?" I spoke in a voice of cushion that surprised everyone.
"Daddy, what's wro-" I put my hand up to stop her from talking.
The voice continued to speak. "I was told you could help me with a... demon problem."
"May I ask who told you that?" I know a lot of people so this guy was going to have to be more exact.
The voice chuckled in a low voice. "The old Clockwork told me you could give me your assistants."
My eyes widen, out of all beings and people I know, this guy knows the fucking master of time. This was serious. "What kind of demon problem?"
I saw Kara's eyes widen a bit but I ignored them. "So do you except the job." For some reason, I felt this voice was grinning on the other end.
"That is what this shop is for."
"Then put your hand on the circle." The voice said, confusing me.
"What-" I started to say but was cut off by a bright flash and a strange magic symbol. "Circle?"
I seen a lot of magic circle thanks to Nelson, but this one is a first. I felt a type of energy from it, but it wasn't magic.
"Touch the circle and you will come to me." The voice said bringing be out of my thoughts.
The line ended and I stared at the circle curved on my desk. "I should of known that my first job would be complicated." I sighed as I garbed Rebellion and reached my hand for the circle.
"Hey, what's going on, and what's this talk of demons!?" Kara said as she started to put her hands on the circle as well.
"Dad, dad, did we get a job!?" Dani said excitedly as she also started to put her hands on the circle.
Everything happened in slow motion as our hands were about to touch the circle at the same time. "Wait stop!" I tried to warn them but it was too late. We touched the circle, there was a bright flash, and everything went white.
I had absolutely no idea where in the fuck I am at the moment. I was staring at a floating stone door, with strange symbols on it, in the middle of a giant white void and I was not alone.
"Wh-where are we?" Kara said as she wiped her head around wildly.
"D-dad, what happened? Dani said, a bit of fear in her voice as she clung to my leg.
"Huh, I thought only you could come through." A familiar eerie voice said behind us.
We turned around to meet... something. What ever it was, it was pure white and the only way you could tell it was there in this white void was because it was surrounded by a black shadow. 'IT' was siting on the 'floor', giving us a giant grin showing off it's teeth but it had no eyes.
I stepped forward. "I assume your the client?" I asked the being.
The being nodded. "That would be me, you may call me Truth." Truth said chuckling a bit.
I sighed and rubbed my head. "OK Truth, why did you call me and if you don't mind me asking," I then clear my throat. "What the hell are you!"
Truth laughed at my reaction. "Clockwork was right, you are interesting." He said before giving me what I could guess is a serious look. "Now let's get down to business." Truth then waved his hand before a image of a fight appeared in front of us.
A blond man was standing in the middle of some kind of base while getting shot at from all angles, but it wasn't even fazing him. Then when the shooting stopped some kind of fire dragon hit him and he exploded. "Holy shit, what is this guy and what his this power he is giving off?" I asked looking at Truth.
Truth frowned as he looked at the image. "That is Father, a homunculus, also your target. When the fight ends he will become a demon and if not stopped, he will destroy this reality." Truth said shocking us all as we looked back at the fight.
I couldn't help but sigh, of course my first job would have the stakes of the world on the line. I really am Dante's kid god damn it.
