Chapter 21: 9 Years Later, A Strange Woman Approaches

(So I did some research and apparently Dante was 28 in DMC 1 so Y/N will be 27.)

Timeskip, 9 Years later...

Y/N POV 

"-Devil May Cry. Sorry we closed at 9." I watched as Dante put the phone down on yet another customer, he muttered to himself "Again, no password. Can't seem to get any real business." He then sat back in the chair with his feet up on the table lazily.

I myself was also on the phone, pacing back and forth across Dante's office, though I was actually talking to Lady. You see, using some of what little money we made running the Devil May Cry shop, Lady had actually decided to take a holiday, take some time off work. I was all for her idea, but she kept ringing to ensure me and Dante hadn't accidentally burned the shop down in her absence.

Speaking of Dante, he had taken Vergil's death quite hard. He tried to hide it behind his usual goofy personality. However when he was talking, you could sometimes hear his sadness, or at least only I noticed it due to him being my brother.

His hair had also grown out a bit more than last time, a part of his fringe covered his left eye though not completely. He also wore a red attire which I found quite fancy, I was still wearing a similar purple attire to what I was before though.

I heard Lady asking on the phone "So, how's business?" I replied in a bored tone. "About the same as you'd expect at this point. We get people who show up without passwords, other than that, we don't have any REAL business."

Lady giggled a bit on the other end before saying "Well, it doesn't hurt to check-up on you every now and then. I'm having a nice time as well thank you for asking." She said the last part sarcastically causing me to laugh and say "Good I'm glad. Glad someone's having fun at least. Hope to see you soo-."

Suddenly I was cut off when a motorbike crashed right through the door causing both me and Dante to look up at what was going on. I heard Lady ask "What the hell was that?!" I quickly replied "I'll have to call you back." "Wait wha-?" That was all she got out as I hung up the phone and turned my attention back to this intruder.

On the motorbike was a woman, she had long flowing blonde hair, wore a black corset with matching pants and had a pair of sunglasses hiding her eyes from us both. Dante exclaimed jokingly "Woah! Slow down babe!"

The woman got off her bike as Dante continued "Well well, what do we have here? Nature calls? It's in the back." He made a gesture towards our toilets as the woman just looked around at the mounted heads of slain demons that decorated the walls.

"So, you must be the handymen who'll take any dirty job? Am I correct?" She glanced between me and Dante as I reached for Eclipse which I was keeping close by. Dante however reached for Force Edge which usually just leaned against Dante's office table.

He stood up and held the sword as he answered "Almost. We only take special jobs. If you know what I mean." The woman simply said "You're the man who lost a mother and a brother to evil twenty years ago. The son of the legendary dark knight Sparda. Mr Dante."

She glanced at me and said "You must be Y/N, the secret third child of Sparda. Only finding out your true heritage and power nine years ago correct?" I nodded, saying "Indeed. Though I don't know how you got that information. I suggest you explain now." 

Dante raised Force Edge to point it at her before saying "Well the way I figure it, in this business a lot of your kind come along, and if I kill each one that comes, eventually I should hit the jackpot sooner or later."

I nodded and said "Agreed. Now talk, why are you here?" The woman just stared at us through her sunglasses before replying "Well in that case, you should be use to this sort of thing." She then raised her hand and gripped Force Edge.

An electric current flowed through it, zapping Dante before the woman rapidly kicked him into his table. She then grabbed Force Edge and threw it directly into Dante's chest! My eyes widened as I exclaimed "Dante!" Before charging forward.

I attempted to slash at the woman however she dodged my swings repeatedly. She then spin-kicked me directly in the face, causing me to stagger back. She laughed before asking "Are you really the son's of the legendary dark knight Sparda? Didn't your daddy teach you how to use a sword?"

She then rushed to her motorbike and tried throwing it at Dante. However he recovered from the stab wound and laughed "Sword? Time to go to work guys." He then drew his handguns which I found out were called Ebony and Ivory. 

He then opened fire on the bike, forcing it into the air before it exploded. The woman leapt out of the way and landed on her hands and knees. We both stood up and approached her as she stared up at us in shock.

Dante explained "Even as a child I had powers. There's demonic blood in both me and Y/N." The woman shuffled back muttering "That strength." Dante angrily stated "You were the first to know of my avengeance. Looks like I'm getting closer."

He raised one of his guns and aimed at the woman. However she stood up, calmly saying "It seems that way. But I'm not your enemy. My name is Trish, I came here to seek your help. To put an end to the underworld."

Dante questioned "What?" I added "Yeah, huh?" 'Trish' then began taking her sunglasses off and as she turned to face us, both me and Dante gasped in shock. She looked identical to Dante's MOTHER! Whom he always kept a photo of on his desk.

Image of Trish:

Trish began explaining "Twenty years ago, Mundus the emperor of the Underworld, resurrected." Dante asked "Mundus?" I commented "I think I remember hearing that name once when I was a child." Trish nodded and continued.

"Yes, his powers were sealed by Sparda, he's attempting to gain control of the HUMAN world once again. He has been preparing to open the gate on mallet island." I thought about what she was saying, the name Mundus sounded very familiar, though I couldn't place a finger on it.

Things were certainly about to get interesting...

Author's Note: And that's it for the first chapter of my Devil May Cry 1 segment, now I don't know if this segment will be as long as the last one however it will hopefully still be just as interesting since I have an interesting plot point later on which I think you will like. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the chapter and as always, thank you for reading.
