Red Line Overload

Jason M. Lee

Vergil found sitting on Cavaliere behind Dante to be a bit awkward, given Yamato's length and facing backwards, but beggars couldn't be choosers while speeding on the road.

"Still on our butts, Vergil?"

Blue Summoned Swords sent the foremost pursuers crashing into those behind them. "Quite persistent."

"Heh." Red Summoned Swords streaked ahead as lightning lit up the sky, both nailing airborne demons. "Shame I can't summon Squall anymore to give us a lift."

"...WHAT."

"You tell me if 'Puff' is any better!"

/"If it allays you, Master, even Rebellion and I gave Father some grief over the name."/

"...touché."

A/N: Follows "Pattern Welding and Annealing". From the official Inktober 2019 prompt, "ride".

The "Puff" Dante mentions here refers to director Hideki Kamiya's responding tweet on what was the name of the dragon that you could summon during the last sequence in the boss fight against Mundus in DMC1. Granted, it could also be a reference to "Puff the Magic Dragon", but Kamiya has been known to troll.

Title and summary from "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins, made popular by the 1986 film Top Gun.
