"Talk"

'Thought'

"C-Can you relinquish me please, your grip is making it very hard for me to breathe!"

Bianca whines as struggles to escape, which definitely caught Boon attention once she heard her voice, finding it very familiar, she quickly looks away from Nero, who looked worried from this, and the living shadow gave her full attention to the little imp, grabbing and removing her mask.

"?!?"

Boon went eyes wide when she saw the face of Bianca , she was obviously shocked at first, but she then glared at the devil child, which made her flinch from such a harsh expression, but tried her best to look brave and unafraid.

"Yeah… You probably already figured out that I wasn't kidnapped, that's why you're here right?..."

Boon looks away from the young child and then glares at Nero, who was no doubt upset with him for keeping secrets about this.

"Look, I know what I'm doing is gonna get me in trouble, especially from my brother, not to mention what Bianca did to the old man is definitely not gonna earn us any favors."

Boon raised an eyebrow, unsure what Nero was getting at, who wore a bit of an hesitant face, but knew he had to be upfront about what's going on.

"But, I need you to trust us, I know you were probably told to take me back home out of concern for my safety, but there's something I need to do, without anyone else getting involved."

Nero's tone and expression were very serious and determined, something that definitely caught the attention of Boon, so much so that she quickly got up and close to his face, so that she could carefully look and glare closely into his eyes.

"... Please."

Nero did not flinch from Boon's gaze, and even said a word that even the world's most powerful living shadow can't ignore, and because of that, she let out a silent sighing expression in defeat and simply released them from her hold, one landing gracefully.

"Oof!..."

And the other not so much, though Bianca tried to save face by doing a cool front flip onto her feet, putting her mask back on and placing her weapon back into its holder and sheath, which made her partner chuckle at this before looking back at Boon.

"Thank you, I promise nothing bad will happen to everyone… Maybe."

Boon, despite releasing them to continue what they were doing, was still not entirely convinced of what Nero was planning, so much so that instead of leaving him to go back to Blake, she instead attached herself into his shadow and stayed very close to at all time, which made him sigh from this.

"Of course it wouldn't be that easy to convince you…".

Nero grabbed his face with his demonic hand and gently shakes his head, clearly not surprised and knew exactly Boon was doing, he looks at his young cousin, who tilted her head curiously

"Boon won't be taking us back home luckily enough, but she won't be leaving us alone either unfortunately… Will that be OK with you Bianca?"

Nero was already mentally preparing himself for however upset his cousin would be with him, though much to his surprise.

"Oh! Oh! Impeccable, that signifies an adult will be able to witness all of my great deeds and accomplishments in this mission!~"

Bianca quickly hops on her pet and stood besides her partner's shadow, looking at it with a beaming expression, despite having a mask covering said face.

"Boon! When this mission is over with our conspicuous triumph, can you please tell Mommy and Daddy about my many achievements and that I was capable of doing most of it by myself, withal additionally-"

As Bianca just continue to speak with Boon non stop on what she wanted from the living shadow, Nero just lets out a small smile and laughs softly to himself, looking away from the two and then started to walk away from the area to continue with what he was doing, with and his new shadow buddy following after him.

'So far so good, a small problem with Boon, but that was quickly fixed, hopefully everything else will be just as easy… I wonder how she is doing?'.

Meanwhile, a demonic like scarecrow was suddenly cut right down the middle and fell completely apart, revealing Blake Belladonna herself, who sheathed her Hellish Shroud after it was used to kill the demon and then looked back at her Nyxs, most of them looking shocked and a bit worried after seeing what their 'Priestess Of Darkness' was capable of, while a small few think she was doing a bit to much.

"My son is in this direction, so let's go…"

Is there any DMC 4 story stuff that I should be made aware of and shouldn't ignore? Like something I would've missed, or maybe some content got cut out and could be reused for a different purpose? I wanna try my best to make DMC 4 more of a story and add some more stuff than what we were already given, so any suggestions and advice would be helpful.

(BTW, what are your thoughts on Boon joining Nero and Bianca?~)
