"Take….care of her…and tell her….I'm sorry…." With that Vergil impaled himself the rest of the way, dying instantly. Nero withdrew the blade and watched Vergil's body fall lifelessly into a puddle and dying the water from silver white to ruby red. Nero bowed his head in silence. After burying Vergil in the cemetery and placing a marker, he took up Yamoto, sheathed it and replaced it at his side.

"Rest in peace, Son of Sparda..." Nero said. "Your death will not be in vain."

Chapter 9: All In a Day's Work

Vergil….Delia's mind said as she faltered in step. She placed a hand over her chest and eyes widened. She felt cold, as if she were dying.

Dad, Vergil's….

"I know my hellion. I felt it too." Sparda's voice said lifelessly. "Nero will be on his way. Just hold Mundus at bay til then." Delia nodded and met the villain's gaze. Her misstep didn't go unnoticed.

"It seems that you are weakened my dear." Mundus said slyly. "And all it took was the death of your twin." Delia growled and lunged. True Vergil was not man of the year but he was her blood, her family.

"I will send you back to Hell and make certain that this time, you STAY THERE!!!!" She ran at him with her father's sword, determined to finish the son of a bitch off but she didn't anticipate his cheap shot! She winced as a beam spear got her in the side, causing her to take a knee. She heard Mundus' laughter over her head.

"You see my dear; there is no way to defeat me. Now come, submit to me and you can have all that you've ever wanted…." Delia growled as she removed the weapon from her side and watched the wound heal rapidly. Thanks for the devil blood Dad. She thought with a smirk. As Mundus came close, within arm's reach, she jumped up and slashed, cutting his right arm off.

"I may not be able to be enough to kill you, but I'm enough to hold you off!" With that, she slashed at his left arm, and went for the heart. Mundus used his power to blow her away and through a few marble walls. When the smoke cleared, Mundus had a shock, for there standing in front of Delia, was a man in blue, red and a bit of purple! His right arm was an actual Devil Arm and he was in full Devil Trig!

No….it CAN'T BE! He thought but he heard Sparda's laughter.

The time has come Mundus. He heard as Hells Bells rang loud and clear. Feel the wrath of MY SUCCESSOR! Mundus watched as Delia was helped to her feet and toss the Sparda sword to the man. The man could've passed for Sparda himself in looks but it was more powerful, younger and was royally pissed!!!!

"YOUR TIME IS FINISHED!" The man declared. "YOU WILL NEVER BRING TERROR AND PAIN TO ANYONE EVER AGAIN. I'LL SEE TO THAT!" With that, he lunged and Mundus tried to fend himself off but it was in vain. The Devil Monarch went for the heart and Mundus tried to get the man off but he was worse than a pit, he held on!

"I will NEVER die!" Mundus cried as he tried to get a grip on the blade, to prevent it from piercing his heart. The Devil Monarch smirked and locked gazes with him.

"SEE YOU IN HELL!" He said and with that, he summoned Yamato and savored the look of fear in Mundus' eyes. It was over! The Monarch waved his hand and Yamato sliced through the air and impaled the Emperor though the head while Sparda impaled his heart! The massive statue fell and smashed to pieces, smashing the demon within as well. Delia carefully began to make her way to the man but stopped when she saw his hand go up. He was taking no chances! After a few minutes, the man put his hand down and he released his Devil Trigger. Delia's eyes welled up with happy tears as she ran to him.

"Nero!" She called. Nero turned in shock but smiled and held her in his arms, allowing her to cry into his shoulder. He ran his hands over her hair, then face, wiping her tears away before holding her again.

"Delia…."He whispered, in effort to hold back his own tears. "Hush now, he will never harm anyone again. Come on, let's go home." The two looked at each other and smiled, picked up the blades and made their ways out of the depths of the Underworld, not sparing a second glance.

A year later

"Devil May Cry," Delia said at the desk. "Yea, we can take care of 'em for you, just remember, we take only cash….oh really? That's more like it! Yea I got the address…ten minutes, no problem!" She hung up and jotted down the address.

"NERO! LET'S GO KID!" She shouted as she took down her guns and Rebellion. She heard some grumbling and babies laughing. She had to smirk. Nero came to the foot of the stairs, with his hood up and he did not look happy. He held two baby boys and glared at the woman.

"Delia….I swear to all Heaven and Hell that I'm going to kick your ass for giving me two hellions!!"

"Aw come on babe they're not that bad…"

"Delia, I don't fancy going out with spiked PINK hair!" He shook his hood down and Delia had to bite back a laugh. Nero's hair was indeed spiked and pink!

"He's going out like that? He looks like a walking talking cotton candy!" Sparda laughed. He earned a glare from Nero and a laugh from Delia. The babies giggled and gurgled. Trish blinked as she took the boys but didn't say a word, which was probably wise for Nero looked like he was ready to burst a vein. Nero didn't say a word as he grabbed the Blue Rose and to the girls' surprise, Sparda.

"Not a word Delia." He said. "And none from you old man." With that, Nero walked through the double doors out of the office, with Delia trailing after him. Close by was a demon who looked royally pissed, despite the fact he was blind in both eyes. The two looked at each other and nodded weapons at the ready.

"LET'S ROCK!"
