Y/N POV

Meeting up with Dante and Trish again certainly was a good thing. Not only did Trish already have knowledge of the layout to this place, meaning we didn't get lost at all. But also with four of us present we didn't even need to stop moving to dispose of any opposition, demon or knight alike.

It didn't take long for us to arrive in a giant ceiling-less room. Instantly my eyes focused on a giant horned statue in the centre which appeared to be MOVING! Blue orbs across its body glowed brightly as it stood tall above us. Lady asked "So, this is that 'Saviour' the old man was rambling on about before?" 

I didn't answer, instead my focus shifted to the Saviour's right hand, it was closed into a fist and inside of which was NERO! I was about to do something when I noticed something else, CREDO fell from the top of the statue, a bleeding wound from his chest!

He would have impacted the solid stone below if I hadn't have quickly said "Credo!" Before jumping up, grabbing him in my arms and landing back on the ground next to the others. I gently placed him on the ground so he was supported before turning back around.

All four of us looked up to the top of the Saviour's head. Sanctus stood clutching Yamato in his hand. He noticed Trish and sneered before saying "Oh, it's you Gloria." Trish just carelessly shrugged at him. 

His attention then shifted to me, he pointed Yamato at me and spoke with another sneer. "So, you did manage to make it this far. Unfortunately, I do not need you any more now that both Nero and Yamato are both in my grasp. It's a shame too, I would have enjoyed assimilating your Eclipse into the Saviour's core."

I sarcastically replied "Oh dear, I feel so bad for you." Sanctus ignored my comment, instead he turned and addressed us all now. "Unfortunately you did not anticipate a descendant of Sparda's blood, and because of this BOY, you've been outwitted and the Saviour will be completed!"

Dante just smirked before retorting "I don't know, I'd wager this kid's still got some life in him." It was at this point that Nero lashed out with his demon arm, stretching it towards Sanctus. He grabbed the elderly priest before attempting to slam him into the torso of the Saviour however he vanished.

He instantly reappeared in front of Nero, stabbing Yamato into his arm before snapping "You fool! Escape is now impossible! THE CREATION CANNOT BE STOPPED!" He let out a fit of maniacal laughter before disappearing into the Saviour once again.

Dante stepped forward and began trying to motivate Nero "Hey kid! You giving up so soon?" It was quiet but we faintly heard Nero replying "My options, are limited..." Dante said "So melodramatic. Besides if you die without giving my sword back, I'm gonna be pissed."

There was a bright glow coming from Nero's body, he slowly sunk into the Saviour's hand, before he disappeared though, we heard him weakly saying "Come and get it then." Dante just smirked and said "Huh, what a punk." I added "Kind of like someone else I know hmm?" Dante shot me a joking glare.

It was now that there was a violent shaking all around us. Slowly but surely, the Saviour rose up out of the ground. Once it was high above us, a set of golden halo-like wings formed behind it as Dante commented "Check it out, it's got wings." Trish added "The design shows terrible taste."

Behind us we heard coughing, turning around we saw Credo kneeling on all fours. Dante asked "Hey, where's that thing going? It's not complete yet is it?" Credo began shifting so he was sat up now, clutching his still-bleeding wound as he replied "It is in his heart to save this world from chaos. He will begin by driving it out." 

Trish commented "Now he has what he needs, Yamato." Credo went on to explain "Sparda used it to seal the Hell Gate from the demon world. The sword is the key to opening the Hell Gate. The REAL Hell Gate. The lies dormant beneath the city."

Dante stated "The sword the separates the demon world from the human world." Credo looked at both me and Dante as he said "I think you two, the sons of the Dark Knight Sparda, are the only ones who can stop the Saviour now."

Trish joked "Looks like you two have reps to live up too." Dante commented "Seems that way." Credo slowly began standing  up as he looked at me and said "I'm sorry Y/N, I wanted to settle things fairly between us-."

He gasped a bit as he continued "-Please, honour one last request. Save them-." Again he stopped, placing a hand on my shoulder as he weakly finished "Kyrie, and, Nero..." As those words were spoken, he collapsed towards me again. Another golden glow emitted from his body and just like that, he disappeared. Perhaps a side-effect of the Ascension Ceremony.

I remained motionless. I had only met Credo twice, both times as an enemy and the first of which I viewed him as nothing but a minor distraction. Yet in his final moments especially, I had grown to respect him greatly and was actually saddened by his death.

I stated "Credo... I'll do it." Dante then corrected "WE'll do it." I looked at his as he added "I wouldn't want to deny anyone their dying request." Trish suggested "I'll sweep the city and evacuate the people."

Dante stopped her "Hey! Is this your way of ditching and dumping this mess on-." Trish cut him off asking "You wanna switch?" Dante paused and raised his hands, saying "It's cool. Let's stick to the plan. Come on Y/N."

I turned to Lady and said "You go with Trish, this Saviour isn't going to be an easy battle. At least this way I know you'll be safe." Lady pouted and retorted "What, do you really underestimate me that much? Some partner you are." I was trying to find a response to that when she cut me off and said "Hey, relax, I was joking with you. I'm glad you care about my safety."

With that we went our separate ways. Lady and Trish headed back towards Fortuna directly to try and evacuate as many civilians as possible. Me and Dante somehow ended up on the ramparts of the Order's headquarters. Giving us a view of the Saviour as it descended on Fortuna, swiftly wiping out any demons it encountered.

Dante gave a mocking clap before saying "That's a solid performance for an old fart like you." I laughed and said "Agreed. But you know what this means don't you." Dante looked confused and asked "What?" I sighed before saying "Looks like we've got to retrace our steps."

We may as well have gone with Lady and Trish since it seemed we'd be going right back to Fortuna as well...

Author's Note: And that's it for this chapter, now we're definitely in the final stretch of the book now. The reason I had most of the chapter up to now focus on Y/N and Lady's tag-team is because it will contrast with the first few chapters of the next segment, however for the rest of this segment Y/N will fight mostly independently with only a few fights in which he teams up with Dante. I really hope you like what's to come, I also hope you enjoyed this chapter and as always, thank you for reading.
