Chapter 3- Reunion and Testing New Powers

"Tony?! You're alive!?!"

Tony Redgrave was a rather tall young man with dark brown hair with white locks and dark green eyes. He was wearing a dark blue shirt, dark pants and a pair of sneakers. And he wasn't alone; there was a young woman with long red hair to the height of her waist while she had beautiful purple eyes and she wore a red and white dress with long white gloves, a hat and sunglasses.

She is Saeko Kodai, a fashion model and the girlfriend of Tony Redgrave. Some days earlier, they went missing during their hike into the Himalayans Mountains.

"Of course, I'm alive." Tony answered, "You thought I have perished in the Himalayans Mountains with my girlfriend Saeko?"

Akira awkwardly answered, "Erm...yes?" Saeko giggled while Beatrice sigh heavily while Saki smiled. "Seriously, if you tried to scare me, I..." Akira said before Amon whispered, "Cut your head off and shit down your neck..." Akira quickly chose a different answer, "Slapped you so hard you will wake up in an alternative world where the Greek Gods existed."

"What?!" Amon shouted which caused Akira to be confused by the voice of Amon. Tony Redgrave had a look of confusion before Saeko pointed out, "You mean in a world where Greek creatures existed, such as gorgons...right?"

Akira nodded awkwardly as Tony noticed that Akira look a lot different. Compare to Beatrice, he's like 6 feet tall. "Are you sure you're alright, Akira?" Tony asked concerned, "You seem...different from the little guy I used to see when I came here."

Three months earlier:

Somewhere in the Himalayas, a group of people are investigating a cavern that formed out of nowhere. Among the group was Tony Redgrave, the son of Dr Joseph Asuka.

He's not alone since he had his girlfriend, Saeko and couple of colleagues. "Tony!! Kom og se på dette." Lars' voice called out as Tony asked, "Yes, what is it?"

Tony walked to Lars and saw something encased in the ice. "Hva er den tingen?" Tony looked at the thing in the ice and was utterly confused until things went to hell as the ice shattered as the creature broke free and grabbed Saeko. It resembled a human but it had the wings, antennas and limbs. Grabbing a shotgun, Tony ran into the cavern in order to save Saeko.

He saw the creature gripping a struggling Saeko. Seeing Tony, the creature threw Saeko Kodai to the ground as Tony snarled, "EAT THIS!!!"

The shotgun fired, the bullet struck the cockroach demon's head, causing the head exploded into flesh and bone. However the demon struck Tony in the chest, inflicted a wound on the man. Looking up, he saw two horrific demons who looked like a bird-like vegetal demon and a massive, fat demon with yellow eyes and navy blue skin. Tony gritted his teeth, prepared for something terrible when...

"DON'T!!!" A voice that sounded like Saeko demanded as the two demons turned around then immediately turned into stone by Saeko.

"Saeko?" Tony called out but Saeko spoke, "Saeko Kodai is not my name...my real name is Medusa...Medusa the Witch. Or if you prefer Medusa the Gorgon."

"Medusa?" Tony said, confused until Saeko or Medusa revealed herself. She still resembled her human form but she is bare naked but she seems unaffected by the cold with red markings all over her body, especially on her breasts, almost reminiscent of the Witchblade. Her hair is now longer as it waved in the air. Her nails had became claws.

"Saeko? What's going on?" Tony denied himself "I don't get it...you were human, you were born to Setsuko and Noriaki Kodai...please, tell me you're still there."

Medusa sighed, "I'm still the young woman you used to know, Remy...or should I say...Dante. Formerly known as the Demon Lord Dante before being overthrown by Zanin's betrayal. Despite your fall, I stayed at your side, because you were my lover. Oh, Dante! I need you to recall your sealed memories. It's time to break the seal who prevented you to recall these memories that were sealed away before you were born."

Tony was confused. "Seal? Memories sealed away before my own birth?" Tony never got to meet his own mother because she killed herself and he had to be extracted so he can survive.

Then Medusa approached Tony, lifted her index finger and pressed it. Then Tony felt a horrible and burning pain similar to a blowtorch aiming at his own face. Looking down, he saw that his hands changing with his nails became sharp like talons as blue fur began to grow all over his body, his clothes which is supposed to protect his body from the cold ripped and tear as his body grew to several inches as the only thing that remained human was his face as his lean body was more muscular as he resembled a werewolf with a tiger's tail with red horns that jutted out of his head. Standing up on his new feet, the resurrected Dante stared at the demons who immediately bowed down, not wanting to die as Dante let out a loud roar.

Nowadays:

Beatrice noticed a trio of people walking toward the table. One had an eyepatch over his left eye, a woman with a cane and a teenage boy. Though she was unsure about the woman though she knew about the teenage boy but the man with the eyepatch seems oddly familiar. "Is there something wrong?" The man with the eyepatch asked and Beatrice calmed down. "It's nothing." She spoke when Tony noticed someone putting in Saki's drink. Quickly, he swap Saki's drink with own drink but Akira was confused with Saki dumbfounded. "Uh, Tony, you okay?" Then Tony stared at a certain guy that he knew was the one who drugged Saki's drink. "YOU!!" Tony stared at the guy (Hayato) who is confused. "I saw you drugged it, I know that you are planning to date rape Saki." That's when the eyepatch-wearing guy got up, a scary looking expression on his face as he grabbed Hayato by the collar of his shirt. "So. you're Goro Majima?" Beatrice asked, seeing the eyepatch and snake skin jacket. "Ding, Ding, Ding! Give Beaty-Chan a prize!"

Akira looked at Tony and asked, "How did you know, Tony?" The other guy looked at Akira before sticking his finger into Saki's drugged drink which the contents changed into a pink color and foamed. Akira's expression changed into anger, Beatrice was looking at Hayato with rage and Saki gasped in horror. "Don't worry about it!!" Goro said, his tone was full of venom while glaring at Hayato, "I will have my crew to maybe 'fix' him up."

"Oh, you're back, Saki?" Mrs. Yoshida called out to her daughter until she noticed Beatrice. "Don't mind me. I'm just helping your daughter to get some stuff so she can stay at my place."

Mrs. Yoshida was confused but she smiled sweetly as Beatrice and Saki enter the latter's bedroom to pack up some of the Saki's clothes. Then Mr. Yoshida returned home, late and oddly sluggish with red bloodshot eyes. "Natsumi, where's Saki?"

Natsumi Yoshida answered, "In her bedroom with Beatrice, Isamu." Isamu got his answer as he walked to Saki's bedroom when someone call out, "Dad, I'm not in the bedroom." Isamu is confused when the voice of his daughter told him, "I'm in the laundry room." Despite being drunk, Isamu walked to the laundry room where the washing machine door was open, waiting for him to enter. Then any control he had was gone as he climbed into the washing machine.

Natsumi entered her daughter's bedroom once both Saki and Beatrice are done packing some clothes for Saki. "Hey Saki?" Natsumi called out her daughter. "Yes, what is it, Mom?" Saki asked. "Where's your dad?" "Why would ask that, Mom?"

Natsumi sighed heavily before she spoke, "He look odd, he asked me where are you and I swear I could smell alcohol on him."

"I will find him." Beatrice said, standing up from where's she sitting as she called out, "Mr. Yoshida, Mr. Yoshida. Where are you?" When she entered the laundry room, she heard an odd sound from the washing table. Looking in the glass window, she saw red within in. Beatrice turned off the machine but the red remained. Acting out of either curiosity or impulsivity, Beatrice opened the door open, releasing a stench of blood and steam filled the air. Looking inside the drum, Beatrice nearly screamed to see Mr. Yoshida's broken body in the washing machine. It seems like every bone in his body was damaged and there's some sticking out of his body.

"Beatrice!!" Mrs. Yoshida called as she and her daughter ran in as Beatrice was completely shocked from what she saw as Saki and her mother walked toward the washer.

Saki's face turned into an expression of shock and horror while her mother felt horrified and disgusted by what she saw, turning away from the scene and puking

"Wait, Saki's dad was dead in a washing machine?" Akira spoke, both horrified and confused. "I don't know how he did that." Beatrice answered, dressed in a grey hoodie, trying to look like a drug dealer. "I did recall that I want to see how your powers work." Akira noticed the katana in Beatrice's hands.

"Hey Beatrice?" Akira asked, "I got this question about your weapon. I swear it oddly familiar." Beatrice stopped for a moment and answered, "The Muramasa Blade?" Akira was shocked and looked at Beatrice like she just went crazy. "The Muramasa Blade!?!?! Isn't that blade that is rumored to be cursed to drive people to kill others?!?"

"Well, this blade had a strange power though." Beatrice remarked, "It can actually harm demons but it didn't drive anyone to murdering others." Akira sighed out of relief before saying, "And I think we're here." Beatrice noticed a building that is covered graffiti. Beatrice put the hood up as she walked up the stairs towards a door and knocked it. Then the door opened to reveal Hayato with a badly beaten face with numerous bruises .

"Yes?" He asked as Beatrice spoke, "Hey I got some things that you and your buddies might try." That caught Hayato's attention as he called out two of his friends. "What's the good stuff then?" One friend asked and Beatrice answered by holding a plastic bag with small round things. "What's that?" Hayato asked, then cursed in pain. "They're called Ebeneezer. The thing is that-"

Then a trio of people walk towards them. Beatrice felt uneasy as Hayato's damaged face had a dark look. "What the fuck are you?" Then things went south when the trio's bodies changed into huge demons. One was covered in green fur with a rec crest that resembled a cobra's hood with markings that resembled eyes, another resembled resembled feline-like gargoyle and last look a lumpy humanoid with a hunched back with teeth that jutted out of his mouth.

"Uhhhh... Akira you need to change right now!!" Beatrice called out as Akira ran in as the three demons killed two of Hayato's goons and was ready to do the same thing to Beatrice and Hayato when Akira transformed into Devilman. The hunchback humanoid demon turned his head around and called out. "Oh hey Amon-" but he was cut off when Devilman slashed the top of his head off, causing blood to spray everywhere as the lump of flesh and bone collapsed. The green furry demon and the feline gargoyle turned their attention to Devilman. "AMON!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" Then the horned demon charged at Devilman who dodged before grabbing him before the demon-human hybrid torn the demon piece by piece.

Beatrice took this moment to taunt the feline gargoyle demon by throwing a rock at it before running somewhere. But she heard Hayato's screams as she looked up to see a harpy demon with Hayato in it's claws. Beatrice snapped out of it to avoid a slash from the claws until she ran towards a wall. A dead end.

Beatrice turned to face the demon when the wall behind her crumbled to revealed a man that is around 10 feet with dark wild hair and wearing a green open open exposing his chest which was wrapped in bandages, dark pants and a pair of boots. He stared at the demon and Beatrice, the latter being confused before the demon lunged at him when the strange man was able to grabbed the wings and tore them off.

The demon, now terrified asked, "What the hell are you?" while Beatrice was confused before the strange man snarled, "Violence Jack." as he pulled out a jack knife and impaled the demon's skull with the blade, killing the demon while Beatrice was in shock. The giant turned his attention to Beatrice and to her shock, offered a hand to help her up. "Thanks but you caught me off guard with your entrance." as she stared at the hole in the wall. Questions are in her head involving how long he was in there for? Turning to resume the chat, Beatrice saw that the strange man was gone as Akira was running to her. "What happened?" The teen gripped Beatrice not hard as Beatrice looked at Akira and said, "I saw someone." "I can see why." Akira answered, seeing the giant hole. "I don't know if he's a demon but he called himself Violence Jack." Akira sighed, "Guess we can go the Makimura household, you might want to bring Saki too."

Two women reach a building and they're in the lobby when an intercom called in, "Don't worry Aleda and Illuge. Dantalion will summon you here." Then there was a sound of a string strung as both Aleda and Illuge were summoned into a room which resembled a throne room with a man sitting on a throne. He was very beautiful with his sun kissed tan skin and dirty blonde hair. To people he resembled a male gyaru. He wore a sleeveless shirt, a jacket with sleeve off his shoulder and a pair of denim shorts. Next to him was a very pale woman dressed in a black and red kimono. Her long raven black hair covered her face, obscuring her eyes though there's a strip of bandages that covered her eyes.

"Oh, you're all here- Hey where's Amon's host?" The blonde hair tanned man said before a certain ninja rose up. "I got some good and bad news, Lord Asmodeus."

"Let's go with the good news." Asmodeus said and the ninja answered, "Amon got his host." Asmodeus was not shocked. "Wait, really. That's it?" "The human somehow controlled him and he's allied with her." Asmodeus' face almost lost all of his colors and said, "We're totally fucked!! But we had three people to take care of this! Ghelmer, Agwel and Ebain!!" Then three people entered. One is a full grown woman with a eyepatch over her right eye, another is a male student and three is a female student wearing a jacket but her hands are not sticking out. Then the screaming from Masa, his girlfriend and Hayato filled the air as Asmodeus got annoyed.

"Pull that smug beaten up guy please." Asmodeus spoke as one demon pulled out Hayato who is traumatized from being captured. "Y-YOU!!!" Hayato growled. "Yea." Asmodeus spoke, "I kidnapped you.. No.. I had my demon kidnapped you. You thought you could assault someone when there's people that saw you do that." Then Asmodeus began to make gurgling sounds as a bulge appeared on his abdomen area, traveling up to his throat before he threw up something that resembled a mix of a spider and a face hugger. Then it unleashed a shrieking sound and latched on to Hayato who is screeching in pain but it was muffled. The screaming began once again while Asmodeus rubbed his throat in pain. "Augh... Damn it! I hated doing this! Masstuff, get a drink please and Guignol, do something with that new widow."
