"Talk"

'Thought'

"You have been gone for a few hour's now, 'Trish', and you haven't once reported back to us, where were you?"

Weiss glares at the Devilish Lady. Her trust in her is not great, and it's getting smaller.

"Well, if you must know, 'Snow Angel', or should I say 'Fallen Snow Angel', I have been scouting and looking around, in hopes to find the location of Mundus, nearly dying doing so."

Trish glares back, clearly not appreciating any form of accusations towards her

"So if you don't mind, back off, or I'll make you."

Trish flicks the Demonic Schnee's nose, making her growl. In an instant, the tip of the Demonic Myrtenaster almost pierces the head of the Blonde Devil, which is stopped by the Man In Red grabbing the blade.

"Stop it Weiss, she has been through a lot to get us information, so behave or I'll make you."

Dante spoke in a cold, serious tone, much to the Corrupted Ice Queen's and the other Corrupted Gals' surprise, not expecting to see him defend her

"Now..."

Dante ordered the Dust User, who had done nothing but comply, to pull her weapons back and step away, which made him sigh in relief

"Please ignore Weiss, she always cares about professionalism and the like."

Dante apologized to the biker woman, who had huffed

"I only came here to give you these new locations that should get you where you need to go, so listen very closely."

Trish clearly doesn't care about the other's feelings, something the RWBY Girl's noticed, though she said nothing about it because they and their Leader began to listen to what the Blonde Devil had to say, which was mostly about new locations, new information about Mundus, and other important stuff like that, something that the Devil Hunting Group admittedly found very helpful. Once the Devil Lady said her peace and left, the Team decided to continue on with their mission. They went back into the castle and headed towards one of the locations they were told to go. However, while walking, a few teammates of RWBY couldn't help but question their leader's judgement.

"Um, I know we shouldn't kill her, since we don't have proof of her being an evil Devil, but why do you have so much trust in her?"

Ruby couldn't help but ask, not understanding his actions and choices.

"Well, she seems to know a lot of this place, and she has yet to steer us wrong, so there's no reason to not believe her."

Dante simply answered, and while it was true, it didn't convince the RWBY girls.

"Are you sure that's the only reason?..."

Yang couldn't help but narrow her eyes in suspicion, though her feelings were quickly interrupted by a deep kiss on the lips.

"Don't get jealous, you are the only one for me~"

Dante gave his devilish girlfriend a dashing yet reassuring smile, which made the corrupted blonde blush and nod, much to the groans of the dust user and hoodie girl, who were not pleased to see their teammates fall for such a simple trick.

"Can you all shut up already, we're here already."

Blake was annoyed by their conversation, as she didn't see the point of arguing about it, because even if Trish was evil, they could easily deal with her, and she trusted Dante's judgement and had no reason to question him, even though the hand holding was still annoying, but still, she still supported his choices. The Devilish Gals wanted to say something more, but decided to stop themselves and just accept it at the moment, not wanting to complain during the mission. A Devil Hunter appreciated and petted the Shadow Kitty's head in thanks, which she smacked away, making him chuckle as he walked up to a pair of big doors and opened it, revealing a big room, where a familiar-looking Armoured Devil stood near a window with a big sword.

"A man with guts and honor, I like that, but it's a shame you serve Mundus."

Dante smirked, letting go of Blake's hand as he knew he might need both to fight this certain foe. Pulling out both Rebellion and Alastor, he dual-wielded them.

"And he doesn't talk about how great he is or how weak we are, so he's definitely nicer compared to other devil's."

Weiss respects, but still hates Nelo, as she and others also pulled out their weapons and got ready to fight. Sir Angelo did the same, holding out his big sword and pointing it at them. Before he could even stab it to the ground, they quickly understood what was happening as they saw the Demonic Warrior charging up, being covered in blue aura and gaining more power. Only then did he pick up his weapon and get ready to fight.

"Well, since we're playing fair~"

Dante smirks as he activates his Devil Trigger, which looks different and more mature compared to when first used it, Team RWBY was still in their base form, thinking they wouldn't need it at the moment, and so, once everyone was ready, the fight begins, Ruby and Blake use their weapons gun mode and starts shooting at Nelo, though thanks to his body being protected by armour, it was only distracted him as Dante, Yang and Weiss dashed and got ready to attack him all at once, Sir Angelo saw this and used a Energy Blast to shoot and separate them, which made the Demonic Schnee smirks and got ready to absorb it, unfortunately for her, when she tries to, her whole body gets overloaded with immense power, and she exploded, sending her flying and land onto the Corrupted Silver Eye's and Faunus, which stop the shooting and giving the Armoured Devil the chance to use his sword to block both blades of the Red Devil, while using his free hand to catch the Fire Hair Girl fist, the two jumps back and charge in again, continue to swing their blades/throw some punches at the Demonic Warrior, as he effortlessly dodges, blocks and deflects each attack with his huge sword and free hand, before jumping over the two and kicks them away, sending back, luckily the Devil Rose managed to stand back up and use her devil's speed to start blitzing him and uses quick attacks and slashes, leaving behind a fiery trail, flower pedals and multiple after images, which forces Nelo to go in the defense and start tanking all the blows to his body, which left scratches and dents on his armour, Sir Angelo continues to defend, before quickly reaching out a hand and grabbed the scythe weapon and stopped the Corrupted Silver Eye's, who just smirks

"「Fire!」"

Crescent Devil yells out loudly, before shooting a sniper bullet in the eye hole of the Armoured Devil, who lets go and stumbles back, gripping his bleeding eye in pain. But he doesn't scream in pain; instead, he just glares at Hoodie Girl

"That felt good for some reason..."

Ruby looked at the Demonic Warrior in confusion, before quickly disappearing in a puff of flower pedals and avoiding a sword swing that missed her. She was quickly stuck in ice, thanks to the Corrupted Ice Queen. Using her Ice Glyphs, she once her weapon was stuck, the Fallen Snow Angel quickly dashed forward and stabbed her Demonic Myrtenaster in his shoulder, forcing him to let go of his weapon and be sent back. Nelo covered his fist with blue flames and tried to punch the Demonic Schnee, who kicked herself away.

"His power is very overwhelming and familiar."

Weiss couldn't help but note, once she landed a safe distance, the Flaming Brawler charged in and engaged in a hand-to-hand combat with Sir Angelo, each punch connecting to the other, causing a huge shockwave and shattering all the glasses in the room, though that didn't stop them and they continued to clash fists and trade blows, both were evenly matched, the Armoured Devil had his overpowering strength and speed, while the Satanic Xiao Long had her experience and her Satanic Celica, though before she could take the edge in the fight, her opponent summoned a blue ghost sword and shot it into her stomach, the blade going in deeply, causing her to cough up blood, before being kicked away, who was caught by Ruby and Weiss

"I-I have definitely seen those swords before..."

Yang grunts as she pulls out the blue sword and begins to self-heal quickly, though while she took a moment to recover, the Demon in Red rushed forward, and started to deflect/shatter the Summoned Swords that were flying towards him, before jumping and swung both his Rebellion and Alastor at the Devil Warrior, who quickly grabbed two of his blue ghost swords and blocked against the Devil Hunter, they both jumped back and dashed forward at each other and started to swing their weapons at each other, though while they clashed their blades, the Devil Hybrid could help but notice something about his enemy, the way he acted, the way he fought, and the devil's power, it was all too familiar and very nostalgic to him, and that feeling grew as the fight went on

'Brothe-'

Before Dante could figure out who he's fighting, Sir Angelo managed to knock Alastor out of his hand and into the air, to which a certain Cat Ninja jumps up in the air and kicks the electric sword into the enemy's chest, before diving in, ready to deliver the final blow

"BLAKE WAIT!"

Dante deactivated his Devil Trigger and tried to stab the Shadow Kitty, but it was too late, as she had already stabbed both blades of her Hellish Shroud into the chest of the Boss Demon; blood splattered on her face as he fell to the ground, hard enough for his helmet to come off and reveal the face of Nelo, or, more accurately, the face of Vergil, much to everyone's shock

"V-Vergil?..."

Blake gasped in fear as she panickedly pulled out her sword and tried to back away, but was stopped by Vergil, who grabbed her hand and looked at the ring she wore

"M-My only weakness T-that I'm not ashamed of..."

Vergil smiles softly, a single tear falls on his cheek, before he closes his eyes and lays his head back, letting out one final breath, much to the horror of the Corrupted Faunus, whose tears begin to fall down her cheeks

"I-I killed him..."

Blake spoke in a broken voice, something that shattered the hearts of her teammates, especially Son Of Sparda, who also shed a few tears

"Blake-"

Dante tried to walk up and comfort the crying kitten, but was stopped by her Shadow, who stood up and blocked the path of the Red Coat Devil, whose silhouette was now in full defensive mode and would protect her master from everything while she grieved, something that he understood and backed off

"Let's go girl's... We'll pick her up after we defeat Mundus..."

Dante spoke coldly, his fist clenching tightly as the desire to kill the Demon Lord grew, the three girls nodded softly and said nothing, as they put away their weapons and began following their leader, who was walking out of the room. When he saw the sword that Vergil had used, he stabbed it into the ground. The man in red looked at it for a long time before pulling out his amulet and putting it on the handle of the sword. Once that was done, he continued to walk away and left the crying Blake in the room with her dead brother.

"Rest in peace..."
