Devils May Cry

Angels Might Sin

Dante Must Die

From Demons Within

This is basically the product of boredom, my imagination and two games I've been obsessed with lately. I do not own any of the characters or places in this story unless said otherwise. I do however own myself (Adam the Pyromancer). This will be my first published story containing characters from my personal, all(most) original story, Aronons. And I'll try to keep all the people in character, but I don't know how some of them would respond to certain situations. (I've only played up to mission 16 in DMC1, mission 7 in the reboot {I know it doesn't count} and have seen the anime) so if Vergil isn't cold enough or Lady and Trishe act a little to nice or friendly, I'm sorry.

It was a cold and wet day. Typical in Capulet City anymore. I pulled the hood of my camo hunting jacket up and was thankful that I decided to wear my flannel lined blue jeans. My brown boots splashed up water from puddles. I hurried to Devil May Cry, eager to get out of the rain. As I got close, several demons leapt up from the shadows on the ground. I unslung my Defcom-7 shotgun from my back and proceeded to annihilate them with the bursts. The space between each shot was lengthy so my arm didn't get detached from the killer recoil. After I thinned their numbers down to a bearable amount, I slung my gun onto my back and drew my flaming broadsword, Flamestar. The flames were only slightly weakened from the rain due to my fire powers being greater than the insignificant water that was falling from the sky. I slashed at the first demon, incinerating its cleaved body. The next two lunged at me, swinging their scythes. I blocked one with Flamestar and caught the other in my hand, breaking off the blade and hurling it clean through the demon and into another, killing both. The demon that I had blocked swung at me again. I ducked backwards under the blow and kicked it into the air. A hailstorm of bullets ripped it to shreds. I looked up to the front of the shop and saw a white haired man in a red trench coat standing there, dual pistols smoking.

"You got some great talent kid. Maybe in a couple of years you'll be half as good as me," He said with a smirk.

"Oh please. Those things weren't worth the effort of anything great," I retorted.

"I know what you mean. The big ones are where the fun's at."

"Well then. You're gonna love this job I have for you."

"Oh really. Then come on in. Oh and I'm Dante."

I followed him in and looked around. A drum set was in the corner. Next to it was an old vintage jukebox. in the opposite corner was a pool table with two figures standing next to it. One was a blonde woman in black knee-high boots and a black tube top that was split halfway down the front. The other was a man with white hair and a blue trench coat. They were to into their game to have noticed both the gunshots and our entrance. Sitting at a desk located against the wall opposite the door was a brunette woman in what looked like a school girl uniform with a single suspender strap going over one shoulder. She was fiddling with what looked to be an oversized rocket launcher with a scythe blade on the bottom functioning as a bayonet.

Dante cleared his throat, gaining the attention of all three.

"All right everybody. This kid's got a job. And based on how he handled a horde of Hell Vanguards without breaking a sweat, it's not gonna be another boring-ass job that barely pays."

"Thank god. I thought I was gonna die of boredom," The brunette said.

"I can assure you, this job will be filled with danger and fighting. So in other words, as much fun as you can handle. Name's Adam," I said with a small smile.

"Goody. And the name's Lady."

"Well it beats playing pool all day. I'm Trish," the blonde said with a sigh.

"Hm. It's Vergil," the man in the blue coat said without a single hint of emotion.

"All right. Now that the introductions are done with, let's get down to business. What's this job."

"A dimensional portal has opened up out in some ruins on the summit of a montain. It's small and nothing's coming from it. I asked around about who would best be able to handle themselves if a fight with some demons of immense power broke out and everybody told me to come here. Of course I was only expecting one person. But I'll gladly take all the help I can get."

"Why do you need back-up? You handled yourself pretty well against those demons outside. Besides, what if it leads nowhere?" Dante inquired.

"For starters, I sensed a great force dripping with malice when I examined it when I first found it. On top of that, I'm assuming that you four have noticed the lack of demons lately. That's never a good sign."

"You do have a point there," Vergil said.

"Well there's nothing better to do. When are we leaving? I have a little shopping to do," Lady asked.

"I was planning on leaving as soon as possible. But I wanted to pick up some supplies too. So I suggest we leave in a couple of hours just to make sure we're ready. Are there any good potion shops around here? I'm nearly out," I explained.

"No. All of the shops here attend to human needs. Besides, all you need to do is find a Time God statue and trade in a couple thousand red orbs for a green one, which is just as good," Trish answered.

"Well then, lets not waste any more time. I think I might scream if I don't kill something soon," Lady said with a sigh.

We split up after we got outside. Dante and Lady went one way while Vergil and Trish leapt up onto the rooftops and took off. I went a different direction, wandering around until I could find directions to the nearest market. As I walked, I pulled my hood up against the unrelenting rain. After wandering for a couple of minutes, I saw a cloaked figure making its way towards me. I put my hand on Flamestar's handle, expecting the worst. We stopped in front of each other, both tense.

He summoned a giant, green club to his hand and swung it at me. As I was side-stepping it, I noticed that it looked like a giant Mountain Dew bottle.

"Hey you son of a bitch! I'm on your side!" I yelled as I pulled my hood down.

He swung at me again, this time grazing my face. He prepared to swing again and was rewarded with a boot to the stomach. the force of the kick knocked him into the air and he slammed into the ground hard a few yards away.

"Alright. Are you going to calm down or do I have to kick your ass again, Indy," I said as I walked forward.

He retorted by throwing a Fuma Shuriken at me. I deftly caught it and stowed it in my side pack.

"Seriously? You know how much these things cost, so why would you waste it on me?" I asked as i used a sleep spell to incapacitate him.

He shook it off and got to his feet. As he did, I noticed a Ribbon tied headband style around his head. "Alright. He's going all out to get me. The question is, why?" I asked myself. I didn't get time to dwell on this as he charged at me. I struck out at him and followed it by twirling my blade in a figure 8 around me. He smashed through my guard and smashed me several yards away. I rolled to my feet as I landed and looked back at him. He disappeared in a burst of darkness. I leapt up into the air and started launching fireballs at the spot that I had stood, anticipating what was going to happen. Sure enough, he burst up from the ground only to be blasted straight back down from a barrage of fireballs.

"All right! All right! You win! You win!" He yelled up from his crater I nicely made for him.

"Wow! You two must almost be as strong as Dante," a voice exclaimed from the side.

We both turned and saw a blonde girl about 14 standing on the sidewalk with a woman who looked exactly like her only older. She had a look of excitement on her face from our small scuffle.

"You know Dante?" Indy asked.

"Of course! I usually end up cleaning his pig-sty of a place while he's out on jobs. At least he sucks at bets so I can beat him and make him buy me ice cream," she said with a small huff.

"Adam. Please tell me that this is exactly what I think..." Indy started.

Before he could finish, a red blur descended from above right next to the girl and who i presume her mother.

"Hey Patty. I thought I overheard you saying my name," Dante said with his trademark smirk.

"Well you heard right. I was saying that these two are so strong that they probably are half as good as you," the girl answered.

"DANTEEEEEEE!" Indy screamed as he zoomed up and attached himself to his arm.

Dante looked surprised as he tried to ply him off. He was incredibly unsuccessful. Right when he moved his hand to grab Rebellion, Indy snatched it up and went off on a unintelligable tangent about Dante and awesomeness.

"What the hell is this guys problem?" He asked as he resorted to bashing his arm against the nearest wall.

"Well let's just say that instead of having just obsessive fangirls, you also have obsessive fanboys as well," I answered.

"Greeeeeat. How do I get him off?"

"Watch and learn," I smirked as I walked up. As soon as i got close, I summoned a bunch of papers and shoved them into Indy's face.

"Hey Indy! Look! Math!" I yelled.

Words can not describe how fast he disappeared from Dante's arm and reappeared cowering behind Patty and her mother. He was trembling in fear and was unable to move.

"Whew! Thanks. I'm not sure how I would have liked going through life with an obsessive fanboy attached to my arm," Dante said as he let out a relieved sigh.

" Why is he hiding behind us? And why is he afraid of math? And who are you two?" the lady with Patty asked.

"Well you're the closest person not holding a math assignment. And for why he's afraid of it, I don't know. And I'm Adam. This is Indy, a close friend and fellow dimension hopper. I'm actually surprised this story has a few thousand words now and he hasn't broken the fourth wall yet."

"Uh, what?" Patty asked with a confused look on her face.

"Trust me, the less you know, the happier you'll be," I assured her.

"Anyway, are you done preparing for the job? Because I'm ready to roll and I'm not sure I can wait," Dante said with very little patience.

"I just wanted to find somewhere to buy a little food for the trip. It's a ways away and I had to skip breakfast."

"Alright. I'll be waiting at the shop," Dante said as he took of. It seemed as if nobody wanted to be out in the rain.

"Well it was nice meeting you two. Gotta run," i said as I grabbed Indy and headed down the street.

Before we got to far I turned and yelled, "Do you know where the nearest market is?"

"Keep heading down this street! It's called LaRouge's!" Patty's mom yelled back.

"Thanks!" I shouted back a final time.

I continued on for a few minutes. During this time, the math-o-phobe started to come back to life.

"So why the hell did you attack me?" I asked.

"I didn't know it was you until you pulled your hood down. After that I kept attacking because you called my mom a bitch," he answered back with a small punch to my shoulder.

"Fair enough,"

We came upon the store that Patty's mom had mentioned. We entered and were greeted by a young woman in her twenties. We browsed through the aisles and picked out some food for the trip and some for later on after that. After we paid for them and left, we tried to find one of the time god statues that Trish had mentioned. We searched several churches and other likely places, but without any luck. As we were searching, I happened to see a flash of blue disappear around the corner. Hoping it was Vergil, we followed after it. As we rounded the corner we saw Vergil as suspected. However he wasn't alone. Trish was with him. They seemed to be in the middle of a conversation and neither one noticed us.

"Finally something fun to do. No offense but kicking your ass at pool gets boring." Trish said with a small smirk.

"I only let you win because you'd mope if I beat you."

"Yeah right. Hopefully you don't get hurt while we're on this job. Cause the I'd feel bad for wiping the floor with you when we get back."

"Same here."

"I'm not gonna get hurt as long as you're there to protect me," she answered before embracing him and giving him a kiss.

The sound of our jaws dropping to the ground caused them to break apart and look in our direction. Both of them blushed heavily and looked away.

"What do you want," Vergil snarled.

"We were um.. gonna.. er... ask where one of those statues were," I stammered, stunned by what I had just saw.

"There's one back at the shop," Trish hastily answered.

"Uh.. thanks," Indy said as we started to turn. Before we could leave, Vergil was in front of us with Yamato drawn.

"If you tell Dante about this, I will personally end you miserable existences," he said very icily.

"Um... yes, sir!" we both shakily answered in sync.

We headed back to Devil May Cry, discussing what we just saw in low voices in case Dante happened to be nearby.

"Holy shit! Vergil and Trish! Who would have known!" he said unbelievingly.

"Obviously me since I'm the one writing this FanFiction. Hey, why am I the one braking the fourth wall! That's your job, slacker!"

"Well I haven't been in this story that long yet and when I have I've been immobile and unable to speak."

"That's not a good excuse."

"Well neither is your mom."

"Oh wow. A crappy mom joke. what are you, 10?"

We continued to bicker the rest of the way back to the shop. We walked in and saw Dante sitting at the desk with Lady leaning on it.

"Excuse me, mister. If I remember correctly, you just got out of my debt! And here you are trying to fall right back into it!" Lady practically yelled in his face.

"I don't see what the problem is. If I win, you go on a date with me. So in other words, I buy you dinner somewhere fancy. And expensive. If I lose, I take you shopping. Either way, you come out on top. Hopefully in the way I intend."

"Why is it that I'm not actually revolted at that thought," Lady sighed.

"Probably because I'm rubbing off on you," Dante retorted with his ever-present smirk.

I remembered what happened the last time we came upon a lone couple and decided to interrupt before it escalated and we end up witnessing anything else that will give demon-hunting baddasses a reason to kill us.

"Hey guys. I was wondering where I could find a time god statue? Trish told us that there was one here." I chimed in.

Both of them jumped a little and blushed.

"Yeah. There's one upstairs. Can't miss it." Dante said. I'm not sure if it was just me but he looked like he was a little disappointed in us interrupting.

"Thanks," Indy said as we headed up the stairs.

It seemed like even devils and demon hunters were susceptible to love's unstoppable control.
