ANOTHER BEGINNING

An Epilogue

Dante was back home, sitting on his usual office chair, legs crossed up on the desk. Sparda was leaned on the wall behind him, while the other weapons were left in the next room.

"Ah, it's good to be home." Dante exclaimed, with the PSP in his grasps again.

"So how was your vacation?" Trish was sitting near him.

"Not bad, not good, just fine, I guess." a plain answer, without any emotion in it.

"I see. It is a good vacation in the end, all FOC, without any reward. What else if it's not a vacation? You tell me." Trish jokingly replied.

"Mah, still….. All's well ends well. It doesn't matter."He sat straight up all of a sudden, legs back down onto the floor. "Say….. It's getting late. Wanna order a pizza?"

"Fine to me."

"Then I'll leave it to ya."

Trish sat there quiet for a while, before finally got and took the phone to make the call.

"What's taking the deliveryman so long?" Dante seemed to grumble, though his hands were still busy tapping the buttons of the PSP. "I can't slay more demons with an empty stomach."

"You're slaying them already." Trish exclaimed, knowing what he was playing.

RIIIINNNGGG!

The phone was ringing.

"So what you gonna do?" Trish crossed her legs up as she leaned back on the sofa.

"Don't seem like I have a choice here." Dante placed the PSP aside, and his hand reached out for the receiver.

"Devil May Cry, still open for business. Mmm…oh, it's you, Lady. It has been some while. What's up? Hey, you know I just returned not long. Why? Missed me? No? Aww, mah….. It doesn't really matter to me….. You're dropping by? Business or pleasure? OK, I see. Since we just ordered pizza earlier, you can have your meal here as well. Mah, fine then. See ya."

With that he tossed the phone back onto the table and leaned backwards.

"Got a job already?" Trish asked.

"Yeah, Lady wants our help. Thought she wouldn't bother to solve it herself. Well, let's hear her out first. You must be damn bored, aren't you?"

"Maybe. Since I've been this free now, maybe it's time to get to work again."

"OF course, not until we have the pizza first."

It was a few days later, and Dante had arrived at the Castle City of Fortuna. The curtains to a new battle were about to be raised.

"What a nice view. Order of the Sword eh?" Dante, standing on the rooftop, admiring the magnificent Cathedral not far away from there. "If there's really some mischief with the lord, I'll just have to cut him down….. Oh, too bad he got it already." referring to the sword of Sparda.

It was still daylight, but the sun looked like it would be setting sooner. As Dante looked down at the ally, he noticed a group of Scarecrows down there, attacking a young man with a cast over his right arm. It was Nero of course, and he was late for the Church mass as usual, held by the Order. Not that he wanted to attend it at all, it's just because it was a special day, that day. For Kyrie…..

"Not bad, kid. Keep up that fight." Dante observed him for the while, until Nero was out of his sight. He glanced at the Cathedral once more. "Now what should I do first? Head straight there or clean up some mess down here first? Oh well, I already knew that. There's still some time left." with that he threw himself down from the building, landing himself on the ground floor with ease. The Scarecrows had noticed his existence, and had begun to leap towards him. Dante stood facing them.

"Let the party starts now!" Dante drew out Rebellion and held it at them. "You guys can help me kill some time first, before the Mass is over." he dashed towards them , cutting through the ones closest to him. The mayhem had begun at Fortuna. As Kyrie performed at the Cathedral, and Nero rushing to make it on time, Dante took some time to perform his part as the Devil Hunter, before the real drama begun, the preaching and ascension of Sanctus.
