Part V
Prologue
"The Order of the sword, huh?" Dante asked taking a bite out of his pizza. He turned his attention towards Lady and Evyn.
"Yes." Lady nodded. "You familiar with them?"
"Sorry, religion and I don't mix." Dante huffed out. "You should know that."
Evyn shrugged looking at her brother. "Thought it would have reached your ears."
Lady smirked and went on to explain. "It's a small congregation that gathers in the castle town of Fortuna. I guess the only people who would have heard of it are the ones who take interest in this type of things." She then pointed at Evyn.
The younger twin frowned, looking at Lady. "I only started digging in because someone brought them up."
Lady chuckled softly. Her face became serious and looks at the twins. "Just how much do you know about Sparda?"
"Well from what I can figure there's a lot of confusion surrounding him." Dante said with a shrug, looking at Trish who takes a bite out of her pizza, then over at Evyn who has her glass to her lips.
Lady looks at the two females as well before speaking up. "The story goes that Sparda served as the feudal lord of the city long ago."
"When did he have time for that?" Evyn hums taking a small sip of her wine.
Lady rolls her eyes at that, and stood up straight continuing on. "The people who live there today take these legends as truth and worship him. Just like a god."
"They worship a demon as a god?" Dante questioned with intrigue.
"Humans will worship anything that gives them security." Evyn sighs pouring herself more wine. "That's just human nature."
Lady shrugs her shoulders at that. "Well, peaceful worship can't be condemned. But the real problem is the Order. Lately they've been running amok, catching demons and have even butted in on some of my jobs."
Evyn watches Trish grab Sparda, and smiles at her, before taking a sip. "Mine as well." Evyn adds in with a shrug.
"Maybe they're starting a zoo." Dante adds in with his signature smirk on his face.
Lady rips the pizza out of Dante's hands. "Not just demons. They've also been targeting Devil Arms, like the ones you have."
"Okay, then a museum." Dante adds in reaching for the pizza, but when Lady pulls it away the devil hunter lets out a sigh. He leans back in his chair. "So what?"
"Well, what if their intentions are foul and there's a diabolical plan behind these apparently random acts?" Lady asks.
"Well then," Dante starts with a sigh sitting up straight. "I'd have something to keep me occupied and…" He stands up with a frown calling out. "Trish!"
Evyn smirks standing up with glass in hand, turning to the wall that once held Sparda. "Well."
Dante frowns and turns to see the empty wall with a little message written instead of the sword.
See you there
"You got to be kidding me." Dante sighed.
"She's not." Evyn smirks. Finishing the glass in one gulp, she places the glass on the desk and pats her brother's back. "I'll round up the kids, and see you there."
"You're bringing the kiddies? Why?" Lady asks looking at Evyn. "Would have thought you'll want to keep them hidden."
Evyn shrugs, opening the shop doors. "They need the practice. Besides, it'll be fun." She walks out of the shop.
"Kids!" Evyn shouts walking into her apartment.
"Yes?" Wanda answers, walking out of her room with Pietro next to her.
"Get dressed, pack, and let's go. We're heading to a cultist town." Evyn plainly states, walking to her room. "They worship a demon as a god!" She shouts from her room.
The twins blink and look at each other in confusion.
Tadaaaa!
Finally! I get this out!
In this part, yes it'll be mostly DMC 4, but there will be surprise characters appearing.
Let me know what you think!
