The man in the red coat sat in his chair, quietly eating his pizza, his white hair flew back as the fan blew his way.

He looked at the horrifying collection demon skulls hung on his wall, they were menacing, fear inducing, and above all, stylish.

“Man, one of the upsides to Patty leaving was getting my decorating back in order.”, he laughed.

After a few minutes of silence and pizza, the phone rang. He quickly kicked his desk, making the phone fly into the air, he easily caught it in one hand and stuck it to his ear.

“Devil May Cry. How may I help you?”

The voice he was speaking to sounded rather stern.

“Is this Dante Sparda?”, it was a female voice, the voice she spoke with was strange, a mix of anger and hope.

“That’s my name honey, don’t overuse it.”, Dante replied, not even wondering why she didn’t address him as “Tony Redgrave”, the name he went by in the human world.

“My name is Celestia, I’m sure you know of the companionship between me and your father.”

“Listen, I don’t wanna burst your bubble, but he’s dead. I’m sure you’re aware of this.”, Dante said.

“Yes, but you are still alive, and as much as I would hate to ask, I need the help of Sparda badly.” Celestia said, the stern voice returning.

“Okay, just don’t break into tears if I look like daddy.”, Dante taunted.

“I’ll try my best.”, She grumbled, “Just come to the nearest hellgate. Me and my students will be waiting.”

“Okay.”

Dante hung up, before walking to get his stuff, he grabbed his twin pistols, Ebony and Ivory, and then slung his faithful sword, Rebellion, over his shoulder.

“Where are you going?” His blonde demonic friend said.

“Well Trish, if you must know, a trap set by someone who used to know my father.”

“Oh, have fun with that.”, She smiled before going back to throwing a ball of lightning in between her hands.

“Princess, are you sure he is coming, it’s been a while?” A purple unicorn looked up to Celestia.

“Twilight, if there is one thing I remember about Dante from his childhood, it was that he never bothered to think something through.”

“I heard that.” Dante came up the mountain, drinking an alcoholic beverage . “Sorry I’m late, I stopped for a cold one.”

“Dante Sparda, it’s been a while, last time I saw you, you were mere 4 years old.” Celestia said.

Dante looked to see the talking horses that stand before him.

“Meh, I’ve seen weirder.”  He shrugged.

“Anyway, I suppose you’re wondering why you’re here.” Celestia raised an eyebrow.

“Nah I figured it was a trap, bring on the demons.” Dante smiled.

“It’s not, but you are the only one who can defeat Vergil, I’d assume.” Celestia spoke.

“Oh, Verge is involved, being a power crazed idiot again, that makes alot more sense, I haven’t seen him since I saw that Nero kid take form into his Devil trigger, if that doesn’t count, since he was Nelo Angelo.”

“20 years ago, you closed the true hell gate, the Temen-ni-gru, today, at exactly 6:00, in Ponyville, It will rise again.”

“And you want me to destroy it?”

“I wish for you to tame it.”

“Tame it?”

“Years before you were born, the Temen-ni-gru was a thing of beauty, a portal to the heavens, where higher ranking angels and demons such as your father and I would go and socialize. Then as human greed and sins came along, the tower transformed.”, Celestia explained.

“And how do I “tame” it, and how exactly did you know my father?”, Dante asked.

“All will be revealed  in due time, for now, I would like you to meet the ponies that will accompany you on this journey.”

“Woah, I feel like flying solo on this one.”, Dante replied, annoyed to think the son of Sparda would need help, and from ponies at that.

“These are the Elements of Harmony.”, Celestia ignored his request.

“Hi, I’m Pinkie Pie, hey you’re hair is white, that must mean you’re a grandpa. The Cakes always told me that grandpa’s have white hair.”,  the pink one blurted out.

“My hair? It’s always been like this.”, Dante was swift to reply.

“Ah’m Applejack, Mr.White hair. Pleased to meet yer aquaintance.”,  the orange one had a straw in her mouth and a cowboy hat on.

“Oh great, Pony the kid. Just what I needed to help me.”, Dante laughed.

The white unicorn just stood in silence.

“Well, don’t you have a problem with my hair too? Say it so we can get this over with.”

Then the unicorn got on all 4 legs.

“Darling, it is not just your hair color that is bad, your hair itself looks like a rats nest, your coat is dreadfully awful, I mean, trench coats went out of style years ago, and that shade of red is atrocious, and the fact that the shirt underneath has a pizza stain. If you must know my name, it is Rarity, and after this mission, I plan to fix you into a proper gentleman.”, The white unicorn spoke up in a British accent.

Dante facepalmed before letting out a chuckle.

“So we have the diva, the moron, and the redneck, any more critics, come up take a stand.”

A shy voice came from behind Dante

“What are those things?”, a yellow pegasus pointed towards 3 demons, the demons looked like the human interpretation of death, but smaller and less threatening, to Dante, they were mere weaklings.

Dante merely yawned and said “My appetizer.”

The first one ran at him, which he easily dodged before pulling Rebellion out and doing a Prop Shredder, to counter the move, as the demon was launched into the air, Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory and fired 3 bullets into it . He then used Stinger to ram into one of them, sending Rebellion straight through it, he thrust the sword upward, sending the impaled demon off of the sword. The dead demons scythe then flew into the air before it landed on the 3rd demon.

“Wow, I wish the demon world would actually let out a powerful one, that felt like a walk in the park.” Dante spoke up, he looked towards the ponies to see all of them staring at him in awe.

“That.....was.....AWESOME!!!!”, yelled the blue pegasus with the rainbow mane
