Part V
Chapter 1:
The Man in Red. The Woman in Brugundy.
"So this Fortuna." Wanda hums looking around the small town, her scarlet hood pulled over her head.
"Yeah, and I take it that's the Cathedral." Pietro muses, his own hood pulled over his head, pointing at the large building near the circle where all the people are walking into.
"Yeah." Wanda nods looking at her brother. "Remember the plan?"
Pietro nods his head looking at his sister. "Yeah, sit there with the people during the service. Keep an eye out on anyone from the Order, and when the people run, we run also. Still haven't figured that out, have you?"
Wanda shakes her head. "No...I haven't. I'm just hoping it's not anything bad."
"Remember the plan?" Evyn muses looking at her twin brother.
Dante looks at his sister a smirk on his lips. "Yup, kill the head huncho, and you'll help keep all those guys down."
Evyn giggles, a smirk on her black colored lips. "Ah, wrecking fear into the people, while saving them. Man, it's been a while."
"Hasn't it?" Dante hums with his own smirk. He leans over seeing his niece and nephew walking into the cathedral. "There's the kiddies."
"Aw, they so cute." Evyn coos looking at her kids. "And they have no idea what's about to happen."
Dante looks at his sister with a raised eyebrow. "What did you tell them?"
Evyn looks up at him with her own raised eyebrow. "Sit in the cathedral, look normal, keep eyes on any order people, and run when others start to run."
"Did you tell them, what's the next phase?"
"We'll get there when we get there."
Dante shrugs. "Fine by me."
Wanda sits next to Pietro, watching the auburn haired woman singing at the podium. Her blue eyes trail up to the statue behind her and frowns. Pietro looks at his sister then at the singer, before looking up at the statue also. He hums and turns his head to the side seeing a white haired young male, taking a seat across from them. He nudges his sister, who looks at him, then at the boy. The Maximoff twins look at each other for a moment, before turning their attention to the podium.
An older male dressed much like a pope walks onto the podium looking at the congregation with a pleasant smile on his lips. "2,000 years ago, the Dark Knight Sparda, turned against his demon brethren and took up his sword for the sake of mankind. Though despite his brave efforts in our names, I fear some have forgotten the truth of the great sacrifice. If the events of that terrible time ere to reoccur, the fusing of both demonic and human realms, we, weak humans, would have no means by which to oppose our submission. And so I ask you to unite. And pray that even if such a dark time of chaos were to revisit us, our gracious Savior would shelter us from the storm. Let us pray."
At that moment, when everyone in the cathedral is praying, a woman dressed in a long burgundy trench coat with a black bralette underneath along with long black pants with black high healed boots. Her short silver hair hanging off around her neck with part of it hovering over her face, gray blue eyes scanning the area before taking a seat, 3 rows behind the white haired male. She turns her head towards her kids who are looking at her confused. She smirks and winks at them.
The white haired male stood up with a sigh, taking his head phones off.
"Nero, what's wrong?" The auburn haired girl asks, looking up at the male.
The male, Nero, looks down at the woman. "I'm getting out of here. All this preaching is putting me to sleep." As he walks off, he comes to a stop when his arm hidden behind the sling began to give off a light blue glow.
The glass on the roof shatters.
A silver haired male dressed in red with a large sword on his back falls from the roof, landing in front of the priest. In a one quick motion, the man took out a gun and shot the priest in the head. The shot echoed through the congregation, getting everyone's attention.
Wanda looks up at her uncle in horror, and then at her brother who has the same expression. She then turns to look at her mother, only to see a small smirk on her face. The younger of the Maximoff twins looks at her brother again. "I thought they didn't kill humans."
"I thought that too." Pietro whispered back, looking at his sister, then over at his uncle.
The man in red slowly turns, to look at the congregation. Blood splattered on his face. Everyone in the room stands to run, the Maximoff twins pulled away with some of the towns people. Confused blue eyes staring at the face of their uncle, and the motionless back of their mother.
"Your holiness!" The guard captain shouts pulling his sword out.
When guards got up to the podium surrounding the man in red, the woman in burgundy got up to her feet, walking towards the front. She watches in amusement at her brother's effortless fight against the guards. It was only then, when she notices more guards running towards her, blocking her off. With a playful smirk, the woman in burgundy takes her own sword out of its sheath, hidden on her back and below her coat. With quickness, the woman effortlessly starts to put down the guards in her way. At times, she would dodge the flying dead bodies of the guards that were fighting her brother.
After defeating all the guards, the woman in burgundy got up onto the podium and gives a nod to her brother. The two stand there, looking at the guard captain cradling the 'dead' body of the priest. Going first, the woman takes a few steps forward with her brother behind her.
"Credo!"
"Kyrie!"
A guard behind the older twins slowly got up, only to be cut down by the man in red. The woman in burgundy came to a stop, and turned around to see the young auburn haired woman on the ground, staring up at the man in red's face. Loud hurried footsteps and a loud voice got the twins attention. The woman in burgundy watch in amusement as her brother got kicked in the face by a young silver haired boy. She walks away from her target to get a good look at her brother and the boy, putting her sword away.
"This…looks ridiculously familiar." The woman muses seeing her brother holding his two guns out with the boy has his one gun out.
Both standing on the arms of the statue of Sparda.
"Nero!" The auburn haired woman shouts getting up.
"Kyrie." Nero shouts, looking down at the woman in burgundy, who is slowly getting her own guns out, then over at Kyrie before speaking. "Go with your brother and get out of here!"
The woman in burgundy looks at the siblings, then up at her brother with a raise eyebrow. When he gave a quick shake of his head, she stays where she is.
"I will return with help!" The guard captain shouts back, pushing Kyrie out of the sanctuary, keeping a close eye on the woman in burgundy. "You stall them until then!"
"I won't hold my breath." Nero smirks, throwing his headphones off. Taking a shot at the man in red, who easily dodged it.
The woman in burgundy, leaned against the railing of the podium, watching her brother and Nero shooting at each other. She could shoot at both of them, but it's much to fun watching Nero keep his legs wrapped around her brother's waste, each one narrowly missing the other's bullet. She quickly dodges the falling statue sword, putting her guns away the woman in burgundy walks up to her brother with a raised eyebrow.
The man in red looks at her with his own raised eyebrow and shrugs, a playful smile gracing his lips. The two turn around to look at the kid pointing his single gun at them.
"You got a jacked up notion of fair play pal." Nero huffs staring at the man in red then at the woman in burgundy. "It's beginning to piss me off."
A playful smirk spreads across the black lips of the woman in burgundy. With no hesitation, she runs quickly at Nero, throwing a swift kick to his neck. She watches in amusement when he narrowly misses it and goes to shoot her. She dodges it and continues to throw kicks at him. Clearly playing around with the kid. When he goes to reload his gun, the woman in burgundy meets up with her brother, leaning against one of the pillars.
When Nero points his gun at the last place he saw the woman in burgundy, he lets out a sigh realizing that she is now behind him, along with the man in red. "I guess this doesn't quite cut it." Putting his gun away, he kicks up one of the swords the guards used and grabs it. He then twisted the handle, creating a sound that is similar to that of a motorcycle. "What's the point of packing a sword like that if you aren't even gonna use it?"
The man in red looks at his sword, then at the woman in burgundy. The female just shrug her shoulder and took her own sword out looking at the handle. The man smirks at her and placed the tip of the blade on the floor, looking at Nero, he copied the wrist movement.
Nero lets out a small chuckle and goes in swinging the sword at the male and female. They both block it, and swung at different times, ganging up on Nero. The three continued on like that, until the man in red gets the upper hand over Nero. Watching the kid's sword fly off, the man in red goes in to finish the fight. Much to the woman in burgundy's surprise, the kid holds his bandaged arm up. When the sword makes contact with the arm a large force came out blowing all the pews back, along with a bright blue light.
The two adults look at the now revealed arm of a devil with amusement. The man in red gives off a hum. "You got a trick up your sleeve."
"Careful. This changes the game plan." The woman in burgundy states looking at the arm.
Nero looks at the two adults with a small chuckle. "I thought the cat had your tongue." He narrows his eyes at the male. "If it's a trick you're looking for. Then try this!" He throws the male off.
The man lands with his back towards Nero and lets out a chuckle. "Looks like you two are a…" He trails off seeing the kid holding the large sword. With a sigh, he leans back narrowly missing the large sword. He turns his head to see the damage it has done, he gave a nod of acknowledgement. He looks at his sister who is now sitting on the upper railing, she holds her arms out with a big smile on her face. He rolls his eyes at her, before looking at the kid.
"Hate to interrupt, but I wanna wrap this show up before the cavalry arrives." Nero hisses glaring at the man in red.
The woman in burgundy watches the kid closely, more precisely. His arm. She takes note of whenever he uses the arm, a blue glow appears around it before making impact. She crosses her legs watching the kid fighting her brother with the upper hand. She looks down t her brother who slide back with a pew.
He sits up straight with a smirk on his lips, and looks up at her. "This kid."
She nods her head. "That kid."
He lets out a small chuckle. "This is kind of fun."
"I bet." She hums. "We still have time."
That got a smile on his lips, before he turns to look at Nero. "So, you're lookin' to play, huh?" She leans back on the pew. "Alright, I guess I got some time to kill."
Nero let out a huff he goes to pick up his sword. "Tough guy, huh?"
The woman in burgundy watches the two male fighting, leaning against the pillar while sitting on the railing, a smile on her lips.
"Looks like I'll have to take you down a couple notches." Nero huffs looking down at the man in red from his seat on the mountain of pews.
The man in red chuckles at that. "Whatever you say, kid."
The woman in burgundy watches the fight go on with Nero getting upper hand once more, and ending it with her brother being pinned to the statue with his sword in his chest. With a sigh, the female got up and jumped down in front of the statue getting Nero's attention.
"What? Finally going to join in?" Nero hissed glaring at her.
She hums in thought before letting out a small chuckle. She takes her gun out, aiming it at Nero. She smirks at the sight of Nero aiming his own gun at her. With no hesitation Nero pulled the trigger, watching the bullets hit the woman in the head. He let out a sigh, putting his gun away, and turns away to walk off.
When a voice broke out.
"Getting better." The man in red smirks, watching Nero turn around to look up at him. "I would even go as far as to say that I underestimated your." He starts to pull himself out of the statue. "Abilities." He lands on the ground next to the female, who is slowly getting up the bullets falling out of her skull.
Nero looks at the two in horror. "You two….you're not human. Are you?"
"Guilty." The woman in burgundy hums, flicking the last bullet out of her skull.
The man in red lets out a sigh. "We're the same." He starts to slowly pull the sword out of his chest. "You and" At the last tug he gasped out. "I."
"And them." The woman in burgundy adds in, looking down at the purple faced guards.
Nero turns his head and backs up to see the face.
The twin adults made their way up to the broken window. The woman in burgundy sitting next to the man in red.
"Though I suspect you carry something different from the others." The man in red states a smirk on his lips.
"What are you talking about?" Nero shouts back, glaring at them.
"You will come to learn the meaning soon enough." The man in red states with a smirk.
"Until then." The woman in burgundy pipes in. "Enjoy yourself, little boy."
"Business beckons." The man in red sighs, standing up with the woman in burgundy next to him.
The two disappears, just as Nero lets out a shout and a gun shot at the window. The man in red reappears a smirk on his lips. "Adios, kid!" He then vanishes once more.
"He was fun." Evyn hums, jumping onto another building, looking at Dante.
"He was." Dante agrees a smirk on his lips. "You…didn't have another kid. Did you?"
"No." Evyn frowns. "Did you?"
Dante hums looking up into the sky. "No…no I didn't." He looks back at her. "You don't think."
"No…did he?" Evyn gasp.
A thoughtful silence fell over the twins, until,
"Nah! He couldn't." The twins both said with a sigh.
Welp, it's official. Part Five has begun.
This will be fun. Very, very fun.
Let me know what you think!
What do you think about Evyn leaving the rest of the plan out of her explanation to the kids?
I think it's obvious but who do you think Dante and Evyn are talking about?
Sorry for taking so long!
See you next time!
