Nero turned back to the scientist slashing at the man with Yamato and sending forth a wave of power slicing everything in its path as he ran forwards ready to strike. Agnus cursed as the kid took out his possessed armour. Backing off slightly as Nero neared him.

There was a flash of light as a blast of energy shot forth from the scientist knocking Nero back and tumbling across the floor, coming to a halt by Lady's box of books. The door next to him exploded with a deafening boom as the room was cloaked in dust and smoke.

"Oh so I want to blow up a door and it's not allowed. You want to blow up a door and BOOM! No more door." Dante scoffed as he and Lady entered through what used to be the doorway.

"My weapon, my rules." Lady snickered as she peered into the smokey haze for signs of Agnus.

Dante grinned as he noticed the kid staring dumbfounded at them from the floor beside the hunters. "Taking a nap, kid?" He chuckled.

"Took you so long to figure out how to open a door I guess I just feel asleep." Nero quipped back as he picked himself off the floor.

"This doesn't look good." Lady said as the smoke began to clear.

"Really? Looks like fun to me." Dante beamed as the smoke revealed Agnus's new look.

In his place now stood a large white demon that looked a bit like a locust, with a long insectoid tail sprouting from the back of his shoulders, long horns, a halo like appendage over his head and long insect like hands and feet.

"Just when I thought he couldn't get any creepier." Nero cringed. Dante clapped him on the shoulder "No worries kid. I'm pro at stomping out bugs."

"I-I-Insolence! You will all be mine." Agnus hissed. "I'll have you all as subjects for my experiments. I have worked far to long to let my efforts be destroyed by the likes of you." A large portal opened behind him spitting out a dozen gladius.

The three leapt into action Lady and Nero darting around taking out the gladius as Dante clashed with Agnus. Dante parried the Scientists attack striking back with rebellion. Agnus's blade cluttering to the floor as the force of the hunters hit knocked it from his grasp. Quickly replacing the lost weapon with another gladius as he dodged the Gladius Nero pelted at him.

Dante's rolled to the side as two gladius rocketed towards him, leaving room for Agnus to slip past as he rushed towards Nero. His demonic arm coming up just in time to block the scientist's attack as he struck back with yamato. The two matching blows as the youngster dodged the odd gladius.

Agnus let out a hiss as Lady showered his back with bullets, growling as he became airborne the harsh gust created by his long transparent wings knocking both Nero and Lady away from him.

Dante let out a hysterical laugh as Lady and Nero were blown across the room the later of the two landing in one of the cages with such force it fell forwards closing the kid inside.

"Laugh while you can." Nero spat, glaring daggers at the elder who attempted to stay standing.

"You're next." Agnus scoffed as he dove at Dante a gladius in each hand as he initiated a spin attack. Lady made her way over to help Nero out of the cage as Dante kept Agnus distracted.

"Lean over . I'll try to roll it." Lady suggested as she grab one of the bars and started pushing. "Damn this thing is heavy." She grunted as the cage dropped back down. She took a moment to catch her breath before cracking her knuckles. "Okay let's try this again."

Nero shook his head. "Stand back." He warned slicing at the base with yamato and using his bringer tear it open. Agnus's spin attack was cut short when Dante stilled his movements with rebellion. Agnus thew the gladius at the hunter in anger. Dante scoffed at the horribly off aim attack, flipping backwards as a cage smacked into the demonic bug. Only barely missing Dante as it shot past taking the scientist with it as it hit the back wall. He seemed to be experiencing quite a few near misses lately, if he didn't know better he could have sworn the kid was trying to kill him.

Agnus let loose a furious screech as he got to his feet summoning more gladius and throwing a few cutlass into the mix. Before taking to the air again.

Dante slid to the side as the cutlass dove for him. Really, why did these things always go straight for him? He doesn't even like fish, in fact he hates anchovies with a passion. Dante mad his way towards Nero as Lady let off a few rounds at the Agnus.

"Hey kid got ya a gift." He quipped slapping Nero on the back as he successfully ditched the demonic fish on the teen.

"Thanks. It's like Christmas come early." Nero retorted as the elder retreated back to the main attraction. Nero released an annoyed snort as his blade missed the fish as it dove into the ground. The next time it popped back out he decided to use his demonic arm to snatch the thing by its fin before gutting it with yamato.

Lady and Dante ran about dodging the mad scientist as he whirled around in a spin attack, a cutlass in each hand. Finishing off by tossing the demon at Lady and diving into Dante knocking him to the floor. Lady swung Kalina ann hitting Agnus in the side of the head and away from the red clad hunter. As she helped him to his feet.

"Dante." Nero called, tossing the last cutlass at the elder hunter with a smirk. Dante swiftly pumped the projectile demon headed for him full of lead.

"Re-gifting, kid." He tisked "Shame on you."

Agnus released a battle cry as he tore towards Dante narrowly missing the raven haired beauty as she rolled to the side.

Dante aimed his jump perfectly, kicking off the back of Agnus's head as he flipped over the demonic insect. Sending him skidding face first across the floor.

"You can not defeat me! I will d-d-destroy you. I will crush you all." He raged.

"Shouldn't that be the other way round? After all it's the person that crushes the bug." Dante joked as Agnus took to the air once more. Creating another portal as Dante, Lady and Nero dodged the shower of gladius blades that rained down upon them.

Letting out a laugh as fireballs shot from the portal straight towards the three as they were distracted by the gladius.

Nero dove into Lady knocking them both to the floor as the balls of flame whistled past overhead. Dante rapidly spun rebellion in front of himself to snuff out those headed for him.

"Thanks." Lady spoke lifting a slender brow at the teen still on top of her. Nero's face reddened as he quickly clambered off of her.

"Ah s-sorry." He subconsciously rubbed at his nose as he got to his feet.

"Ha-ha, smooth kid." Dante's voice boomed from his right causing Nero's blush to intensify as he flipped the elder the bird.

"What say we hurry up and finish this guy already. I want to wrap this up so I can go home, take a long hot bath then do a little shopping." Lady reloaded her pistols the empty Magazines hitting the floor with a clunk.

"I'm with her I want to get out of this dump already." Nero agreed picking off the lingering gladius, grabbing one and hurling it at Agnus. Then flinging a second in his direction.

Angus let out a growl as he easily dodged the gladius Nero had thrown at him. He was about to summon up more fireballs when the second gladius shot past him tearing one of the translucent wings keeping him in the air.

"H-how!" He hollered as he fell to the ground. "Not possible. This is not possible." He ranted as Lady let out another hail storm of bullets on the demon scientist. "I can not be defeated. I Will not be defeated by vermin like you!"

"Sorry to burst your bubble bug breath." Dante spoke as he performed stinger "But the mad scientist never wins."

"Hey kid, lets see how far that arm of yours can throw this oversized pest." Dante grinned.

Agnus roared as Nero's bringer shot forth grabbing him and tossing him across the room. Dante open fire with ebony and ivory as Agnus flew past. "What say we go for the over kill?" He quirked a brow at his female companion.

"Mu pleasure." Lady smirked as she lifted Kalina ann over her shoulder and shot the demonic insectoid.

"How!" Agnus screeched as he was hit by the blast. The explosion leaving behind nothing but ash and part of his halo like appendage.

"Grab the boxes boys we're out of here." Lady ordered as she headed for the door.

"Sooo" Dante drawled as they exited the labs back into the mines. "Anyone actually know the way back from here?" When his question was met with silence he slumped. He wasn't looking forward to trudging through the mines for hours looking for the exit.

"Well then its a good thing I'm more than just a pretty face." Trish winked as she stepped from the shadows. "Come on this way." She gave a flick of her long golden hair as she turned down the tunnels. "I take it you three had fun in my absence." She smiled.

Trish's car was waiting for them as they exited the mines. Lady packed the boxes in back before heading to the passenger side. "Come on I need to pay the Order a visit." She called to Trish.

"Oh." Trish raised a brow. "And to what do they owe the pleasure?"

"A nice pay packet for ridding them of a cockroach and his pets." Lady smiled as Trish made for the driver's side.

"I thought your client was one of Agnus's men?" She questioned with a smirk as she sat behind the wheel.

"Oh he is. Consider this a bonus." Lady grinned. "I found some documents in the labs I'm sure they will be willing to pay generously for."

Trish chuckled as she started the engine. "Wouldn't want them going public I presume?"

"Oh most certainly not." The women simultaneously shut their doors. "You boy right to make your own way back." Lady waved as they drove off towards town.

"Like we have a choice." Dante muttered as the car vanished into the distance. Turning to the kid. "So what now?"

"I dunno, I guess I should find Kyrie. She must be worried sick." Nero replied.

"And what about, you know." Dante gestured to the teen glowing limb.

Nero shrugged "well she already saw it during the attack and she didn't pass out or run screaming that's gotta be a good sign right." He offered. Kyrie was his sister after all and she had always been kind and understanding. Surely this wouldn't change things between them.

"Not just the arm kid. I mean everything, you are part demon after all."

"I guess... I dunno..." Nero sighed "Oh I guess you'll want to take this back now." He held yamato out to the man.

Dante took his brother blade. "You're changing the subject." Nero frowned as Dante stayed on topic. "Still coming to terms ay. Look, Nero, I'm pretty pro with the whole part devil thing, trust me. So if you ever have questions or need help I'd be glad to help you out." He reassured the teen.

"What will you do after all of this? You know they're going to want to lock you up again. I mean you're still technically crazy in the towns book and you can't hide that arm of yours for ever they are going to catch on."

"I..." Nero paused shaking his head "honestly haven't thought that far ahead."

"You could always leave." Dante shrugged "You've said it yourself, you don't really belong here."

"We've had this conversation." Nero rolled his eyes. "Like I said I have nowhere to go."

"You could always stay with me." Dante suggested. Nero paused staring at the elder as though he had grown a second head.

"Are you crazy? You've only known me a little over a week. Hell you met me in a freaking mental asylum and you're just going to invite me to stay at your joint."

Dante let out a laugh as he continued to stride towards town. "Kid, we're all a little crazy. Life just wouldn't be fun otherwise." He chuckled as he looked back over his shoulder. "You coming?"

Nero gave an amused snort, jogging over and giving Dante a playful punch in the arm. "You know, I might cut off your ears and feed them to you in your sleep or something?"

Dante simply let loose a thunderous laugh and Nero couldn't help but chuckle. "You really are insane, old man."
