Prologue ~ Fortuna
“Who’s a beautiful little girl?” Nite cooed
A baby gurgled back at her.
“Nite, you don’t have to hang around, we’ll be fine.”
“I know Kyrie, but I love taking time to look after Emily... and you, and with Nero away with Dante, I figured that you’d want some company.”
“And I appreciate it... it’s just... I thought you’d want to spend time with Vergil”
“I do. But I want to see my... granddaughter.”
Nite hated the fact she was a Nan/Grandmother. She didn’t regret having Nero at a young age, but being a Grandmother... It made her embarrassed. In fact, she just wanted to be referred to as Nite... No titles. She didn’t even feel worthy enough to be called ‘Mother’ as she had to abandon Nero.
Kyrie chuckled, “I better be off. I have to practice for the next service.”
Nite sighed, “Fair enough... Take care of yourself... Bye Emily”.
Emily looked confused then giggled again.
Just as Kyrie was out of view, a bubble appeared in the middle of the road and exploded throwing Nite across the street.
Chapter 1
Nite pulled herself to her feet, “What the hell was that?” She thought.
In the road where the explosion had occurred, a body was lying there. Nite got up and walked over to it.
“S**t”, the man grumbled.
“Are you okay?” Nite asked
He rolled over, sat up and rubbed his head, “that wasn’t meant to happen. At least I don’t think it was...”
He wore a coat with a Union Jack on the sleeve, had dark brown hair with a white streak, and looked pretty scruffy.
He looked up, “Hi.”
“Hi”, Nite replied with a smile
“You didn’t happen too see anyone else come through here?” He asked
“Nope, it’s just you.”
Dante took a time and looked Nite up and down...”You’re a demon?”
“Yeah”
“Great. More demon scum.”
Nite scoffed, “Well, going by your smell, you’re a fine one to call scum.”
“You saying I smell?”
“No... I smell demon on you... you are a demon...right?”
“Yeah. Well, Half demon... half Angel....”
Nite eyed him “Sorry, I didn’t recognize the scent. We don’t get many angels around here.”
The man eyed her back, “I’m Dante, and technically, I’m Nephilim.”
Nite nodded her head, “Dante? Half Angel? That can’t be right.”
“I know what I am.” Dante chuckled
Nite was about to respond when Dante disappeared and the ground started to shake. “I have to get out of here,” she thought.
Chapter 2
Nite ran as fast as she could. There were forces at work that she couldn’t understand.
What was worse is that she was running from something that she couldn’t see.
She ran up an alley and hid behind a dumpster and thought, “Real classy Nite.”
She may not have been able to see what happened, but she heard a howl... one that sounded like something dying.
Then a few seconds after she heard a voice... “Hey, Demon girl, where did you go?”
She stood up and walked out into the road.
“There you are. Sorry, I had something to deal with.” Dante said.
“You drink?” Nite asked
“Yeah, but not...”
“... With demons... right?” Nite finished
“At this time of the day I was going to say” Dante chuckled
“Sorry.”
“No problem. I need to go anyway.”
Dante started to walk past Nite when he said, “By the way, where am I?”
“Fortuna.”
Dante shook his head, he honestly had no idea.
Nite walked towards Dante, “You’re not from this... Universe... right?”
“Is that what you’d call it?” Dante said sighing, “Okay, You can come with me.”
Nite smiled, “You know, not all demons are a pain in the ass, and I have to trust you as much as you can trust me.”
Dante pulled a face, and then held out his hand. Nite shook it, “My name is Nite. However, if you want to call me demon girl... it’s up to you”
Chapter 3
“So, your mom is an Angel...”
“Right”
Nite and Dante had talked all the way back to a cafe which was on the other side of Fortuna’s bustling town. He told her about the wars between Angels and Demons. Sparda being incarcerated, Eva being killed by Mundus and a female called Kat.
They entered to see the place was unusually deserted.
“Where is everyone?” Nite asked the owner.
“They cleared off after that earthquake. What’ll it be?”
“Ah...Cola, please” Nite said
“I’m fine”, Dante replied.
They sat down only for Dante to say “Whoops, guess that’d be my fault.”
Nite sat back and folded her arms, “What happened?”
Dante sat back and picked up the salt pot, “Ever heard of Limbo?”
Nite shook her head.
“Well, when a demon wants to try and take me on, it’ll drag me into Limbo. Then have to find my way out by rifts.”
“What sort of demon was it?”
“A hunter demon” Dante replied, now drawing on the table with the salt.
“Never heard of it.”
Dante stopped and looked up, “You don’t have Hunter demons?”
Nite shook her head again.
The owner plonked Nite’s drink on the table and walked off.
“So what are you?” Dante asked with intrigue
“A lunar demon”, Nite replied as she sipped her drink.
Dante laughed, “I’ve never heard of them either.”
“You wouldn’t. The race is either dead, dying, no longer exists or is in hiding.” Nite said in a ‘matter of fact’ tone
“Wow...” Dante said bemused “That was cold.”
Nite looked at the table and shrugged her shoulders, “It’s true.”
“What about your parents?” Dante asked
“I disowned my father and killed him. As for my mother, she’s dead too...”
“I’m sorry to hear that.”Dante replied
“Don’t be... I’m not. ” With that, Nite finished her drink, stood up and walked over to the counter. She paid the owner and looked up at the television; she read the news headlines scrolling at the bottom of the screen, “Explosion in the City centre near the Devil May Cry Office, no one injured.” In the corner of the screen, the news channel depicted the CCTV images that showed the exactly same explosion that Dante had appeared from.
Nite marched back to their table, “We have to go”
“Why?”
Nite urged Dante to look at the TV mounted on the wall.
“S**T” Dante whispered.
“Come on, we’ll take my car” she said as they hastily ran out of the door.
Chapter 4
The accelerator was pressed as far as it could go.
“I just hope we don’t crash”, Nite said
“Why?” Dante replied
“It’s not my car”
The car left the ground with every bump that it went over.
“It won’t matter, you’ll bust the axel” Dante said holding on tightly “Do you know where you’re going?”
“I have more of an idea than you would, plus, these backstreets are a shortcut.”
“Yeah, to a hole in the ground” Dante retorted.
Nite slowed the car as the debris from the explosion started to appear.
“There’s no one here.” Nite whispered
“There should be”
Nite stopped the car outside the Devil May Cry office. A large crater obliterated the road.
Dante got out and looked around, then went over to the crater. Nite walked over to him.
They both looked into the hole only to hear, “you’ve taken your time”.
Startled Nite and Dante turned around. Stood there was a man in a blue- green coat holding a Katana with gloves. He had white hair which was swept back.
“Who’s your friend?” He asked
“Vergil, this is Nite.”
Nite eyed this newcomer suspiciously, in a way; she didn’t know what to make of him.
Vergil just nodded.
Nite zoned out as Dante and Vergil spoke to each other, and started to circle Vergil, looking him up and down. She didn’t exactly know what to make of him...
“I need to know what we’re dealing with in this Universe” Vergil said
“I’m sure Nite will help us.” Dante replied.
Nite snapped away from her thoughts, whilst still looking at Vergil and said “Yeah, uh, sure I will. Follow me”
She led them to the front door of the Devil May Cry office, “Just wait here, I’ll let you in.”
Nite walked through the alleyway around to the back of the shop. Nite stopped just before she reached the back door and rubbed her head. The new twins’ presence didn’t sit right with her, and there was something strange about this new Vergil. Whether it was his appearance or his demeanour, she couldn’t put her finger on it.
Chapter 5
“Sorry I took so long, back door was jammed”, Nite lied as she opened the front door to let the twins in.
The boys came in and observed their surroundings.
“Sorry for the mess”, Nite said. She walked over to Dante’s chair, sat on it, and put her legs on the desk, “So what can I help you with?”
Vergil stepped toward the desk while Dante looked around, “The demons here are completely different to the ones in our universe, I... we need to know what they are.”
Nite smiled a little and replied pointing, “Well, you’re more than welcome to look through the books here”.
“Books?”
“You’ve heard of them right Verge? They have covers, with writing in them”, Dante said chuckling
Nite couldn’t help but chuckle.
Vergil dismissed his brothers’ comment, “But, It’ll take some time to get through them, don’t you have a computer?”
Nite laughed, “I do, but it’s full of viruses, thanks to our Dante. I don’t think it’s been turned on in a couple of months.”
Dante looked at the books, “How many do you have on what Vergil wants to know about?”
Nite thought for a second, “It’s hard to tell. It depends on what demons you want to know about. Ones that roam hell, the ones that guard the entrance to the Underworld, the ruler...”
“Point taken”, Vergil replied and walked over to the bookshelf.
“Anyone want a drink?” Nite asked
Dante raised his hand.
“Beer’s in the fridge, water’s in the tap”, Nite laughed.
Dante walked through to the kitchen whilst Vergil continued flicking through the books.
The phone rang. Nite answered it.
“Devil May Cry”
“Thanks for the password, but Dante isn’t here at the moment.”
“I can appreciate that it’s important but... ”
“Look, I’ll leave him a note, and I’ll kick his butt out of the door when he gets back.”
“Thanks... Bye”
Nite replaced the receiver, and shifted around in one of the drawers on Dante’s desk. Underneath porn and whiskey bottles she found a pen and a few pieces of paper. She neatly scribbled the job information and threw the rest of the paper and pen back into the desk.
Vergil was flicking through a book when something fell out from between the pages.
He picked up the picture and looked at it, then looked at the page that it fell from, “Lunar Demon?”
Chapter 6
Nite knew what Vergil had found.
“So you’re a demon...” Vergil said
“I was the last time that I looked, yeah.” Nite replied, now getting up from the chair “I assume that has now tainted your opinion of me”.
Dante walked back into the room. “Did you know that she was a demon?” Vergil asked.
Dante scoffed, “Yeah, I did.”
Vergil drew Yamato and Nite shook her head, “You’d strike down someone who is unarmed?”
“Come on Vergil, Don’t be stupid” Dante said
“You’re a demon; you’d find a way to defend yourself.”
“Vergil, this is stupid, she’s helping us”
“For her own ends...” Vergil growled
“Says the Half demon” Nite retorted.
“You may hate demons, but never forget you are one... at least half of one” Nite said.
Vergil eased slightly.
“Come on Vergil, get some air.” Dante pulled Vergil out of the door, turned to Nite and said, “Back in a minute.”
Nite breathed a sigh of relief when Dante shut the door and sat back down.
She could understand how Vergil felt; demons had killed their mother and imprisoned their father. All actions concocted and carried out by Mundus. Even in another Universe he was still the bully that she remembered her own father to be. However, unlike the guys she was helping now, she had her revenge and laid her own demons to rest... although it sounded ironic.
The door opened, “Vergil wants to speak to you.” Dante said gently.
Nite nodded. Dante went back into the shop and she went out to Vergil.
Nite climbed, and sat on the roof of the car with her legs crossed whilst Vergil was perched on the bonnet.
“I read the entry, you’re the daughter of Mundus” Vergil said while not looking at her
“Sadly... but I’m past that...” she replied staring it the bonnet.
“How, you can’t change who your parents are?”
“That doesn’t mean that I have to be like them... like him”
“So you don’t eat hearts?”
Nite smirked, “I don’t even think our Mundus did that.”
Vergil put his hat on. Nite looked and laughed.
“What? Is there something wrong?”
“You’re wearing a hat?!”
“It’s a fedora.”
“I know, but I never imagined seeing any version of you in a hat.”
For a while they spoke about this universe’s Underworld, the difference between the ways that they said MUN-dus and MOON-dus. Vergil told her about his ability to hack computers and the technology he developed as a teenager.
Although, all the time that they were talking, Nite’s suspicions were still gnawing at her.
All of a sudden, Dante rushed out of the office, “Nite, there’s some punk kid on the phone asking for you. He sounded pretty panicked.”
Nite jumped from the roof of the car, indoors and picked up the phone.
“Hello?”
“Nero? What’s the matter?”
“How long ago was this?”
“Why didn’t you call me sooner?”
“Okay, okay, I’m on my way...”
“What’s the matter?”
“Dante’s in trouble” the twins looked confused, “This world’s Dante.”
Nite rushed through to the back room and came back out with Force Edge.
“Nite, I can stay here and fix your computer, I’ll find what I’m looking for. Dante can go with you” Vergil said
Nite placed Force Edge to her back where it was held in place by a strange demonic force. She searched underneath the couch and pulled out a dusty laptop and handed it to Vergil, “Good luck.”
Dante and Nite headed towards the door whilst Vergil booted and decoded the viruses on the computer.
