Chapter 1: Death
Two years later…
Dante was really bored that Saturday afternoon. Vergil was being no help hogging the television and radio. To help ease the nine years old’s bored feeling; he went up to his mom. Eva was putting together a large jigsaw puzzle with a picture of a puppy on it.
“Hey mom! I’m bored.” Dante sighed.
“Well, we can find something fun to do.” She smiled. “Would you like to help me with this puzzle?”
“Nah…I was thinking something…more exciting?” Dante paused. “Maybe I’ll just watch a movie.” He started to look around the living room
Vergil watched Dante walk up to their mother and complain about being bored. In Vergil’s opinion, all Dante did was complain to their mother. Dante wanted all the attention from her. It was really annoying to Vergil.
Dante went over to an old video cabinet. It looked like it was about to fall apart. The door was half-way attached to antique wooden cabinet when Dante opened it. Inside were a bunch of old videos ranging every genre from Disney to Western. Dante started pulling all the videos out of the video cabinet, sneezing from some dust that flew up in his face from the movies they never watched located in the back. He started going through the movies and tossing just above everything to the side, until he found an unlabeled recording tape. Dante was really curious about the mysterious unlabeled tape and sat down next to Vergil with the tape. Their mother had already gone back to working on the puppy puzzle.
“Hey, Vergil!” Dante whispered. “Wanna watch something?”
“It better not be stupid, like you.” Vergil crossed his arms.
“That was mean…” Dante whispered. “I’ll get you back later. Let’s just watch it now!”
Dante popped in the old recorded video tape. The screen was black and silent. The twins waited for a few second and the screen was still blank.
“Just shut it off. I’m missing my show.” Vergil said.
Dante looked really upset that the movie was a waste of time. Just when he was about to get up, giggling was heard. The screen finally changed from black to their mother waving in the screen. She seemed about ten years younger, but she still had the same beauty and glamour as the same woman who was doing the puzzle in the back of the room.
“What’s so funny?” A man’s voice asked, slightly confused.
“Nothing, dear! It’s just…your always so mean and grumpy. Can’t you be a bit happier for the camera?” Eva asked.
“I’m not even in the camera right now.” He replied.
“Really? Well…you are now.”
Eva dragged a man out in the view of the camera. The man looked like an imaginary noble that had just popped out of a fairytale into real life. He had short silver hair that was slicked back and icy blue eyes. His face was perfect; he had no flaws whatsoever. His outfit was about as perfect as his face looked. He wore a purple coat with fancy red and black patterns around the ends and the sleeves. Under the purple coat he had a red and black matching shirt to go with the pattern on the coat. Fancy lacing was sticking out from it. He also wore a few items to make him seem even more unrealistic. Around his neck hung a beautiful amulet with gold and silver wrapped around it, and on his face was a monocle that someone like a rich noble would wear.
“Can we turn this off now?” The man sighed.
“Sparda! I just wanted our sons to see us before they were born.” She playfully punched him and turned of the camera.
Eva stopped the puzzle she was working on to watch the video Dante had put into the VCR. When she heard Sparda’s voice, she knew it was the only video that she had ever done with her husband.
“Dante…Vergil, that’s all that’s on that tape.” Eva said while getting up to turn it off.
Before she could turn it off, another movie popped on the screen. This shocked Eva since she thought that was the only movie recorded on the video. It turned out there was one more movie on the tape. Sparda was sitting on the bed in their bedroom while recording himself.
“Eva, tonight I’m leaving. I will formally tell you good-bye, but I wanted to leave this message for my sons. I’m sure they will eventually watch this tape and figure out that there is another movie after yours.” He adjusted his monocle.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t be here for you, Dante, and Vergil. I left you each an amulet and a couple of my swords, the Rebellion and the Yamato.” He paused. “Also, you will notice you have great strength in the future. I will leave that up to you what you will use that strength for. Try to live long and protect you mother.” Sparda got up and turned off the camera.
The video went black and shut off. Dante and Vergil blinked, staring at the television.
“Was that dad?” Dante asked.
“Yes Dante…that was your father.” Eva seemed a little spacey. “I’m going to be in my room for awhile. Why don’t both of you go outside for some fresh air?”
“Ok!” The twins said in unison.
Dante and Vergil went outside and played. Dante pretended he was a cowboy, shaping his fingers like guns.
“BANG!” Dante yelled, pointing his fingers at Vergil.
“That game is stupid Dante. Let’s play something else.” Vergil started walking away.
“Ok, are we going to the park?” Dante asked Vergil, following him down the street.
“I guess so.” Vergil grabbed a stick and dragged it across the ground.
Dante stopped after hearing the noise of the ice cream truck. Vergil kept walking, leaving Dante behind. Dante ran up to the ice cream truck, even though he didn’t have any money.
“Can I have strawberry ice cream?” Dante asked with a pleading look on his face.
“Sorry kid, I can’t give away ice cream for free.” The ice cream man said.
“What if I helped you sell ice cream?” Dante grinned.
“That won’t work either. You’re too y--” The ice cream man was cut off by a very loud, painful scream.
“What the hell?” The ice cream man turned towards that direction.
A bunch of demonic looking creatures covered in blood started coming out of an alley. They varied in size and kind, but all of them looked like they were ready to kill whatever stood in their way. Dante was frozen, he knew who that scream belonged to. The scream sounded exactly like Vergil.
“What are those damn things!” The ice cream man panicked and tried to drive past them.
The plan to drive past the demons ended miserably. Several of the demons jumped on top on the truck, pounding and breaking the ceiling of the truck. A few others broke open the windshield. They drug the ice cream man out of the truck and were going to completely rip him apart.
Dante couldn’t watch what was going on anymore, even though he was more frightened than he had ever been in his life. He ran as fast as he could to get away from the scene. Dante didn’t even bother looking back when the ice cream man started screaming. Dante didn’t want to look at the gruesome fate of the poor ice cream man. He was in tears while thinking about the horrible monsters and wondering what happened to Vergil. Whatever happened to his brother, he was hurt. He may not even be there anymore. The thought of that scared Dante even more until he ran through the front door, almost crashing into their television.
“MOM!” Dante screamed on the top of his lungs.
Eva flew out of her room when she heard Dante scream. She had never heard Dante scream like that before. This wasn’t a scream like the ones he made before. He sounded terrified, like something horrible had happened.
“Dante! What’s wrong!” She noticed he has trembling and crying.
Dante leaped into his mother arms and hugged her as hard as he could. The nine year old couldn’t say anything. He was way too scared and freaked out at that moment to say anything.
“Dante! Please tell me what’s wrong! Where’s Vergil?” She let go of Dante and lifted his head so he could look at her.
“T…t…the monster guys hurt Vergil and the ice cream man…th-…they sounded really hurt.” Dante was still shaking.
Eva froze in place when Dante said monsters. She knew it had to be demons; she was really worried about Vergil now.
“What do you mean they hurt Vergil!” Eva almost screamed.
“I…I don’t know…I heard a scream and I saw the monsters with blood all over them.” Dante sniffed.
Eva put her cupped her hands over her face and sat down on the couch for a minute. There was no way Vergil could have survived a bunch of demons. Demons covered in blood were proof enough.
“Oh my God…” Eva mumbled. “Vergil…”
“Is Vergil ok, mom?” Dante asked, a little bit calmer, but still freaked out.
“Dante…he…” Eva just cut off her sentence.
She would have just lost it in the middle of the couch if the thought didn’t cross her mind that the demons were probably after her. She was Sparda’s wife. The demons knew Sparda had married her. Eva knew that both she and Dante were now in serious danger. They needed to get out of the house as soon as possible. Eva jumped up and ran over to the closet were the two swords were. Eva just grabbed the larger sword, the Rebellion; it was the closest one she could grab. It was very heavy, but she didn’t care at the moment.
“We need to leave now Dante!” Eva yelled over to her son. “Open the door!”
“Ok, where are we going?” Dante opened the door.
“Just follow me and keep running no matter what!” Eva started running as soon as she got outside.
The sky was dark and gloomy. A storm was going to happen soon. The screams of people in the town could be heard from everywhere. The chances of Eva and her son getting killed were high, and she knew this. She didn’t want anything to happen to Dante; she wanted her son to live. She had already lost Vergil; she didn’t want to lose Dante too.
Demons started coming out of nowhere. The smaller black ones with red eyes ran over towards Eva and Dante. Eva was slashed with their razor sharp claws in various places, but managed to barely attack them with the Rebellion to get them off of her and kill them. She knew more of the demons would be coming at any given moment. She turned to her son who was trembling and watching his mother. Not only were the demons back, but they hurt his mother. Dante was terrified. Eva could see the terrified look on his face. She quickly hugged her son.
“Dante, listen to me. I love you. You have to run away!” She was breathing hard.
The rain started to pour down on top of them. Dante stared at his mother and didn’t move an inch.
“Please Dante! You have to run away and hide!” Eva whispered to her son.
Dante slowly nodded his head at his mother and started to run. The rain got harder and harder each moment. Dante didn’t even know what do anymore. He didn’t know where to hide. He just wanted to make all of this mess disappear. Dante finally found a place his could crawl into and hide. It was a little cramped, but he managed to sit himself upright. He clutched his amulet hanging around his neck and waited.
Eva started running again. The stronger demons were coming in the distance toward her. She knew this would be the end for her, not even the sword could save her now. She would be leaving Dante all alone. The thought of leaving Dante alone made her feel absolutely terrible, but she hoped he would be fine. She tossed the rebellion under a safe spot were she hoped Dante could find it at a later time.
“You must never come out! No matter what, please stay hidden! Listen to me, Dante!” She said before the demons were in range to hear her.
The demons closed in on Eva, the largest one with huge hands and razor sharp claws finally grabbed a hold of Eva. In the last few seconds she had, she thought to herself.
‘I’m sorry Dante…please…live on. I love you…’ She almost cried, until the demon started the crush her.
“AAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” She screamed in tremendous pain.
The demon crushed Eva and then threw her to the side like she was nothing but a worthless piece of trash.
Dante was frozen from the shock. He could see the whole thing where he was hidden. He mother’s death wasn’t pleasant to watch. He didn’t even bother thinking of the details, he didn‘t want to. Dante couldn’t even think clearly to begin with. He couldn’t cry, he couldn’t move. He was just in pure shock.
“The human woman…Sparda’s woman, she’s dead.” A demon said, very satisfied.
“Have we killed all of them?” A different demon asked.
“Yes. We’ve killed them all.” The first demon said proudly.
The demons left the town after a little while, leaving Dante all alone in the desolate, destroyed town. When Dante finally moved, he just stood there. The rain pattered heavily against his head. He couldn’t believe what just happened. What he saw in front of him made him feel the most uncomfortable. There was hardly anything left of his hometown or his mother lying across the street from where he was standing.
