Dante Sparda awoke with a start. “That damn nightmare again!” He had just had a nightmare that involved him fighting his twin brother Vergil and Rebellion being rammed through his chest by said brother. It had been about ten years since Sunset had sacrificed herself and a year since he had last seen Vergil or Kat.

Dante had taken to hunting demons for a living while Vergil and Kat sorted out the mess that Mundus had made of the planets finances. Dante had grown his hair out, so that it now looked like it had when he had gotten that wig thrown on him in Limbo. Recently he had taken out a business loan and opened his own business, well, he was going to, it didn’t even had a name yet.

He got up and put on a pair of pants, before walking over to the phone. “Sorry, not open for business yet.” Today was the day that marked Sunset’s death and planned to do nothing but morn. “I haven’t even picked a name for this joint and I’m already getting phone calls.” He grumbled.

Standing outside the door was a bald man, he wore a suit and had red markings on his left cheek. He opened the door and walked in.

“You a customer too?” Asked Dante. When the man didn’t answer he continued. “Well, if you want to use the bathroom, help yourself. The toilets in the back.”

“Is your name Dante?” Asked the man as he walked forwards. “Son of Sparda the devil and Eva the angel?”

“Where did you hear that?” Demanded Dante. Only a few people knew about his father and mother that weren’t demons.

“From your brother.” Replied the man as he stopped in front of the desk. “He sent this invitation for you. Please accept it!” He grabbed the edge of the desk and flipped it!

Dante somersault over the flying furniture. He landed on top of it and pulled out Ebony, pointing it at… nothing. The man had vanished. “Well, that proves that he isn’t human.” He jumped off the desk and caught his pizza box. “Invitation, huh? What are you doing Vergil.” He muttered. He was about to take a slice when he was skewered by the scythe’s of several appeared like demons that appeared out of nowhere! This are Hell Prides.

One of them looks up, only to be punched in the face! It was sent flying through a wall, the others looked at their fallen comrade and then back at Dante as he walked past two of them and was dragging one behind him, not even registering the scythes still in his body.

In the last ten years he had to fight much stronger demons then the ones in Limbo city. The result being that his healing factor had gotten better and his pain tolerance had shot up, making him much more cocky. He kicked the Hell Pride that was being dragged back into the others. Dante picked up another slice of pizza and walked towards his karikoi machine. He pulled out one scythe and threw it and the ceiling fan, cutting it down and making it saw apart three of the Hell Prides. “This party's getting crazy. Lets rock.” Dante pressed the on button, when nothing happened he punched it hard enough to dent the machine and it started playing. Several punches, kicks, slashes and gun shots later, as well as using the pool table as a weapon the shop was demon free.

For about two seconds as another pair of Hell Prides appeared! Dante grabbed Rebellion and chopped up one of the demons with the blade. Then he parried the blow from the second Hell Pride and formed it’s scythe up. He slammed the sword down, as it turned into the demonic axe Arbiter, smashing right through the demon.

Another three Hell Prides appeared. Arbiter changed forms into the blue angelic scythe Osiris and Dante cut the demons into pieces with wide swings of the weapon.

Another three Hell Prides appeared. Dante swapped the scythe for the demonic gauntlets; Eryx and punched all three demons several times until they shattered.

Another demon that looked like a Hell Pride but with a red feathered cloak appeared. This is a Hell Lust. It dashed at Dante. He smirked as he avoided the demon’s scythe. Then flung the angelic stars Aquila at it, trapping the demon. He pulled out Revenant and pulled the trigger several times, destroying the demon in three shots.

Two more Hell Prides and a Hell Lust jumped out of their portals. Switching back to Rebellion Dante stabbed the Hell Last several times. Then stabbed to once more, sending it flying into a wall. He threw Aquila, the stars wrapped around the Hell Prides and pulled them in towards him. He executed several spinning slashes that shattered the Hell Prides and the Hell Lust as it had charged, getting caught before it could stop.

Another two Hell Lusts jumped from portals and charged. Right into a pair of slashes from Rebellion which shot them into the air. Dante used the angel lift to go after them and slammed them both back into the ground. He switched to Arbiter. And came down crushing one of them under the axe head. He punched the other Hell Lust back into the air with Eryx, pulled it back down with the demon pull and punched it in the face with Eryx, making it shatter.

Just as he finished he was slashed across the back by another Hell Pride. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a Hell Lust charging. “Nice try.” Dante equipped Aquila and spun around like a tornado ripped both demons that were caught in it to bits!

“This is gonna be a pain to clean up.” Muttered Dante as he walked towards the pizza box to pick up the last slice, When a Hell Lust appeared and stepped on it! Mad, Dante pulled out Ebony and blasted its head off!

With a grunt he picked up his jacket. Dante’s old grey one had been destroyed years ago, now he went with a red one that had a pair of brown holsters on the back of it. “I can already tell, this is gonna be one hell of a party.” Muttered the Nephilim as he kicked down the door.
