A/n: vote on a devil arm that is all.

It's been several years since the Temen-ni-gru, and sense then Dante reopened his shop dubbing it "Devil May Cry". Having partnered with Lady on occasion, usually his jobs consisted of cleaning up the remaining demons from the tower. Y/n simply threw himself into hunting demons whether it was a commissioned as a job or not, he recklessly threw himself into killing demons. Usually ending up drowning himself in bottles or pitchers of Inca Kola or Chicha, simply because he couldn't stand the taste or smell of alcohol. He did take Vermila's advice and changed his clothes exchanging hid sandals for boots still Agni and Ruda, his cargo shorts for loose pants, and his vest for a long coat but because of his recklessness the sleeves became non-existent.

(Like the clothes)

And the Nephalem was always on the go basically becoming the mobile branch of Devil May Cry. But he always avoided a certain city because the memories hurt more than all the broken bones he's ever gotten. One day he was back in Redgrave he was sitting at a counter guzzling Chicha hoping the sugar crash from took him soon. Then Dante walked in, he had changed his looks as well from his hair to his boots. Even wielding Force Edge instead of his signature Rebellion.

"Hey there buddy it's been awhile sense I've seen you face to face." Dante spoke as he takes a seat next to Y/n. "Whatcha drinkin'?"

"Chicha," Y/n looks to see Dante's confusing "does saying purple corn juice help?"

"Not at all"

"Didn't think so." Y/n set his glass down, "so what's the job now?"

"What makes you think there's a job?" Dante got a 'really' look from Y/n as he raised an eyebrow. "Alright fine there's a job."

"Where is it?" Y/n gave a light chuckle.

"That's the thing, it's in by Fortuna-"

"No!" The Nephalem's previous humor was gone replaced with slight anger.

"Come on Y/n it's been almost 5 years," Dante raised his voice.

"And yet I'd still rather be stabbed 100 more times then go there!"

"You have a kid and damnit he needs to know he has a family!" Dante shouts, "Wasn't that your whole promise to Vermila?!"

"Don't you dare! In case you haven't realized if you hadn't raised your sword to her, or at least held her off abit longer I would have made it then we would have gotten Nero together!"

"Don't you think I know that! In case you forgot she was my TWIN sister long before you were even in the picture! It's tearing me up too that it was my sword that drew her blood! But no your so stubborn you make a mual seem easy going! You won't even try and keep some semblance of the promise you made!" Dante slammed his hand down on the counter causing it to crack. "YOU'D RATHER DROWN YOUR SORROWS IN FIGHTING AND CORN JUICE! HOW LONG WILL YOU KEEP THIS UP HUH? UNTIL YOU DIE FROM EXHAUSTION, YOU THINK VERMILA WOULD BE HAPPY WITH THAT?!!"

"DAMNIT DANTE SHUT UP!" Y/n clenched his hands causing the glass to shatter.

"IF YOU WANT TO DIE SO BADLY THEN I SHOULD SAVE US ALL THE TROUBLE AND PUT THE BULLET THERE MYSELF!!"

"FUCKING TRY ME DANTE!!" Y/n stood up so fast it sent the stool as he had Helios in his hand and pointed at Dante's face a blink of an eye. Dante had Ivory pointed at Y/n's face just as quickly. The tension was so thick that even if they did pull the trigger, the bullet might get stuck. Y/n's eyes turned yellow and slitted while Dante's turned orange and slitted. Both guns almost crackled with energy, but before any of them could pull the trigger something fell from Y/n's pocket. The item was a red gem on a gold chain, the tension almost immediately dispersed as they both put their guns back and Y/n crouches to pick up the amulet.

"At least think about the offer alright here's the job info." Dante says with a sigh as he places a piece of paper on the counter and walks away. Y/n picked up the amulet and the stool as he sits back at the counter and looks at the paper before turning away.

"You probably would have just kicked my ass and then dragged me along by the ear," he gives a breathless chuckle as he spoke to Vermila's amulet. "Oh to hell with it." He grabbed the paper and stuffed the amulet back into his pocket. "Dante wait! If I'm going all the way to Fortuna the least you can do is give me a ride!"

"You gotta help with the gas!" He calls back with a smirk.

"Of course you cheapskate!" Y/n grabbed Renegade and jogged to catch up to Dante as he put the sword in the back of Dante's red convertible.

- time skip brought to you by Y/n playing air guitar as he and Dante jam out to rock music-

The job itself wasn't that difficult, a simple clearing of demons all of them seemed pretty low level. Y/n could easily handle them by himself as be said bye to Dante at the dock. These demons were different from the ones at the Temen-ni-gru as Fortuna has more scarecrow looking demons. They hit harder but were vastly slower allowing easily hits and counters. The job was done in a hour or so then came the hardest part of being here, finding Nero.

As the Devil hunter entered the city he searches for the one whose supposed to pay him. He gets lost in all the buildings that looked ancient despite most being built probably within the last 20-30 years. Soon he finds himself in an alley as he hears yelling. The man was confused so he followed the noise until he was lead to the sound. What he found made him enraged.

"Demonic scum!" Shouted a man as he kneed a small child no older that 5 or 6 in the stomach.

"It's all your fault!" Shouts a woman as she kicks the child.

"You should simply die!" Another man shouted as a group around them cheers, " you've caused us enough trouble! Now if you apologize and pay us back all will be forgiven."

The child stood up and that's when Y/n saw the boys eyes, arctic blue that held a untamable fire raging within them. As the boy stood he grimaced from pain. His silvery white hair dirty from being thrown on the floor. The boy looked at the man.

"I- I.... Don't care!" The boy said as he spat on the man's face. "Fuck you!"

The man drew a sword and the boy grit his teeth. The man swung the sword down as a few people cheered, all of them overshadowed by the roar that tore from the child's throat as he intended to meet the man head on charging forward.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!"

Right before the blade could hit the boy the one wielding it was dropkicked sending him flying back and his sword skitting across the ground. The one who drop kicked him quickly spun in the air throwing a summon sword pinning the other man to the wall by the shirt as he back handed the woman. As Y/n corrected himself to land the woman fell flabbergasted at the hit.

"How dare you hit a woman!"

"I sternly believe in gender equality, but even then all I see before my is a whiny crap muncher who would hit a defenseless child. And for what!"

"He's a demon, he's the cause of the infestation that killed hundreds-!"

"Bullshit he's a kid! Now here's your one you can either all leave or I will kick all your asses!" He shouted letting his aura expand to be felt. The pressure was suffocating for the humans who tried their best to get away. Y/n made the summon sword disappear along with his aura and they all took off running yelling about a demon in the shape of a man. "AND DON'T FORGET IT!"

"Why did you help me?" The boy glared at his unknown savior, "I could have done it myself, I didn't need your help!"

The Nephalem stood there quietly before letting out a chuckle.

"You sound just like your mother."

"What do you mean?! What do you know about my mother?!" The boy sounded less angry and more desperate for answers.

"I'm sorry didn't come for you sooner," Y/n turned around to look at the boy. Seeing his face only broke the damn he was trying so hard to build causing the stream of emotions to flood out. Tears spilling from his eyes as he dropped to his knees and pulled the confused boy into a tight embrace causing him to go ridged as he awkwardly pats Y/n's back. "I'm so sorry I didn't come to get you sooner my son, Nero." 

Nero was in shock, this man had called him his son by name. Not to mention something about him felt warm and familiar he wrapped his left arm around him because his right arm was hurt from the beating. Suddenly a voice rang out from the end of the ally.

"Nero!"

A/n: alright here you are with another chapter. It's shorter than usual but hope it was somewhat sweet.
