Tengu City:
The dark clouds had spread across the sky, turning day into night except there is no moon insight, nor any stars. Only a never ending abyss with the street lights are the only thing that's illuminating this once peaceful city.
On top of one of the buildings in Tengu, the sons of Sparda stand there, watching the chaos unfolds before them.
"This is some weird case of deja'vu. The world turned to shit again." Dante stated with a sigh. His devil sword resting on his shoulder.
"Then we will clean up this mess. We must act in full haste." Vergil replied.
He then walk away and unsheated Yamato. He slashed his sword diagonally and horizontally, cutting time and space itself and creating a portal.
Without turning around, he spoke. "Let's split up so we can cover more grounds."
He steps inside the portal, and time and space fixed itself as he vanished into thin air.
"Hmph... I guess I'll make my own entrance then." Dante said to himself.
His devil sword disappeared in a fiery flash. He took one step over the edge of the buidling before letting himself fall.
"Woooohhhh!!!" He yelled out in a high-pitched tone, enjoying himself with the cold breeze brushing against his face.
Free falling from the building like a nuclear missile that's been drop from a plane, he changed his stance into one of those superhero landing as he went closer to crashing. As he landed...
*BOOM!!! *
A wide deep crater formed underneath him after landing in the middle of the street, and causing havoc all around the area: All the demons feasting on some corpses, all the abandoned vehicles, and all the street lights lining up in the street got hurled into different directions because of the shockwave from the force of his landing. Dante stands up and dust himself off before glancing around the area he is in.
"Time to have some fu-" Before he can finish his sentence, four Oni demons then bursted out of the ground in front of him, roaring while their long bloody claws are ready to gut him like a fish.
Before Dante can act, the demons already pierced their claws in his abdomen and chest. The Onis took out their claw in the demon hunter's flesh. His blood gushed out and splattered on the ground, but he just stood there like nothing happened. He gave the demons a smirk as blood comes out from the corner of his mouth before he grip his hand on one of the demons throat, making the creature roared out in pain.
The Oni on his left side charged at him, but before it can get close to him. He snapped the neck of the demon he was holding and hurled it towards the one that's going to pounce him. The two demons got sent flying towards at the fuel truck that crashed against a building wall. The demons crashed at the still intact fuel tank. The collision ruptured the steel tank, and petrol gushed out like a dam
Dante took this as an opportunity to draw out his dual pistols (Ebony & Ivory) before pointing at the truck and shooting two to four blazing bullets.
*BOOM!!! *
Once the hot bullet touched the petrol, a massive explosion rock this part of the city like there is a war going on. The other two Onis then bit Dante's two arms, restricting his mobility.
"Oh, you wanna play rough now do ya?" Dante grunted.
His eyes glowed an orange red and he got engulfed by a fiery aura. The two demons biting him are trying to dismembered him, but Dante's flesh hardens like stone and the demons teeth that piercing his arms got stuck.
The aura around Dante got stronger and stronger, and his human figure turns demonic in a blink of an eye. And with a loud demonic roar, the fiery aura bursted into one flaming shockwave, erasing the two Onis into atoms.
The demon hunter sighed and chuckled. "Now that's taken care of, let's see what kind of crazy demons we will encounter."
The ground suddenly shook, making Dante puzzled. As he look up, there's a gigantic skeleton passing by in front of him.
He chuckled and said to himself. "Never seen this one before."
He cracked his knuckles and begun his pursue against the monstrosity
Raizen High School:
Blood, guts, and lacerated corpses are everywhere on the cafeteria's floor, and some of the blood already painted the walls. The students tried to escape while the demonic samurais are busy fighting the four spirits, but it seems some of them got unlucky. However, Tohka and the three girls are panting heavily while being covered by minor wounds. Their ragged spirit armor is barely protecting them from being cut down into pieces. Without their full spirit armor, they have a very high chance of suffering a deadly wound if they are not careful.
"Troubled. They are very quick, their speed rivaled me and Kaguya's!" Yuzuru exclaimed.
Frustration is getting bigger for the four spirits. All of their attacks got blocked, parried, and even dodged.
"I have a plan." Origami said as she flew high up, barely touching the cracked ceiling. "Kaguya and Yuzuru, try to limit their movements with your wind!"
Getting engulfed by raging wind, the twins flew hastingly towards the five demons. The samurais swing their swords wildly as the twins assaults them in every directions. Because of their sheer speed, The twins created a giant tornado that lifted the five demons from the ground and destroyed this part of the school building. After the school cafeteria got razed, the spirits and demons got met with the darkness of the sky. The spirits could hardly tell if this is still the city they lived in or they just got teleported in another dimension.
"Night during daytime?" Tohka mumbled.
"Tohka! Stay focus!" Origami demanded, bringing Tohka back to her senses.
From the ground, black oozes arises from the crumbled ground, consuming the dismembered corpses before starting to take shape like one of those creatures that mauled people in the street. After developing, multiple Onis roared at Tohka before they sprinted towards her like hungry pack of wolves.
Tohka forcefully stomped her right foot on the ground, cracking the concrete underneath her. She got engulfed with purple aura as a large stone throne appeared with a bright flash from the sky, landing over some of the Onis and crushing them into a bloody pile of guts and brains.
She flew over her golden throne made of stone and raised her broad sword to the sky and brought it down at the throne, cutting it in half. The throne turned into pieces and stick to Tohka's sword like a magnet. And with a booming voice, she yelled out.
"Sandalphone! Halvanhelev!"
Her broadsword transformed into a giant great sword, surrounded by purple destructive energy. She swings her sword towards the swarm of Onis. And with one swing, the sword released a purple energy blade that could slice a building in half. The swarms of demons got erased from the face of this world in no time. But because of the destructive power of Tohka's angel, the school got cut in half and crumbles into rocks, boulders, and shards of glass. Luckily, some of the students and teachers are already taking shelter in the underground evacuation room of the school.
The twins though, their giant tornado is still holding the five samurais. But these demons are relentless and somewhat smart, they used the power of the wind spirits to their advantage. Kaguya already got wounded by one, she has a deep cut on her arms while Yuzuru has one on her legs, but that didn't stop them from their onslaught.
"Damn you!" Kaguya enchant her Lance with her powers before charging towards one of the samurais. She thrust her giant lance and the wind aura serves as a support to add more power and reach in her attack.
The samurai blocked it with his right arm that he covered with demonic aura, making the aura to act as a shield - - but the piercing wind broke it and destroyed the demon's arm off. However, like a lizard, it regenerated its lost limb but much more quickly. With the other samurais about to attack the Yamai sisters, their assault got halted when a golden net of light trapped them inside.
"Kaguya and Yuzuru, get out of there now!" Origami demanded which the twins flew off and went behind her.
The pillars behind her back all went in front of her and formed a giant cannon that's charging with golden light. She took aimed at the trapped demons that's like some sitting ducks for the hunter.
"Metatron! Artelif!" Origami roared out and a destructive beam of light then shot out from the maw of her cannon.
The streets leading to Tengu Park:
Half eaten corpses are lying around everywhere in the quiet street. The only sound that is making some noise is the echoing of footsteps.
"It's too quiet and the temperature is dropping in an abnormal manner." Vergil muttered under his breath.
Without warning...
*CRASH!!! *
Three trash cans fell to the ground, stopping Vergil from his track.
"Meow!"
A black cat steps outside of the trash and glanced at Vergil with its slitted eyes, before running off in the dark alley. Vergil ignored this, and proceeded to walk to the street heading to the park. Then he heard the cat hissed aggressively at someone or... something.
Then the cat's hiss got accompanied by a loud roar of a creature. He turn around and holds the grip of his sword, waiting for the thing to come out of the dark. But to his surprise, gunshot was heard.
*Bang! Bang! *
The creature wailed and roared again before another gunshot rung out and immediately silence filled the area. Vergil loosen his grip on his sword, but before he can continue on his journey, a girl steps outside from the shadow holding the black cat from earlier.
She wore a dress with a combination of color of black and crimson. Her black hair is tied into a twin tail. But what caught Vergil's attention is her eyes; her right eye is red and the other one is a golden face of a clock.
The girl look at him and smiled before she spoke. "Ara, you must be one of the newcomers?"
The girl giggled sweetly but chillingly before adding. "I am Tokisaki Kurumi, it's a pleasure meeting you."
Without warning, a beam of light came shooting through the dark sky behind Vergil, making him glance behind him and watch it destroy some of the buildings.
He heard Kurumi sighed behind him and said. "Looks like the others are busy as well. I guess blood shed is the only option left to survive."
"Based on your appearance, you have the power to change time. " Vergil stated before speaking in a strict tone. "You should've destroyed the machine and stop this from happening."
"I'll give you credits for guessing my power, but I already tried what you just said. Getting into a conflict with Kotori again by invading Fraxinus got the same result, but much worse. This is the only timeline where we had the chance to turn the world back into its normal state again." Kurumi explained.
"I should be dead by now, but thanks to those creatures I killed, it seems that I have an unlimited supplies of time." Kurumi added.
"There are millions of timelines, what happened?" Vergil asked.
"Inside those millions, humanity went extinct." Kurumi replied grimly. "The only people that survived the fall are both you and your brother."
Nothing comes out of Vergil's mouth, not a single word. He just began walking away from her, but Kurumi immediately raised her voice.
"I should come with you! I can be a useful help in fixing all of this!" Kurumi cried out.
Vergil replied with a blunt tone. "No, you will only slow me down."
Kurumi just sighed and said. "I guess I should just go help the others, just this once."
Kurumi drop the cat from her arms. "Now, go ahead little one. Just don't get into troubles again, okay?"
The cat just replied with a "Meow!" before running off with its cute little paws.
The dark spirit then descended down to her own shadow, and disappeared into the abyss.
Raizen High school:
The four spirits sat on the ground, panting heavily from exhaustion. In front of them are just piles of ashes that once were the five demonic samurais.
"G-Good job Origami!" Tohka praised.
Their celebration got cut short when one samurai emerged from the ashes of its brethren, revealing its left arm dismembered and its right legs all twisted. It used its sword as a support to lift itself up and it limped out of the ashes.
"Tough bastard!" Kaguya growled.
The samurai grunted as it raised its sword before quickly piercing it to the ground.
The spirits eyes went wide in shock as chills run down their spines when the ashes of the other samurais turned into a dark monstrous ghosts. Their blood curling screams filled the dark sky like the scream of a banshee. The four ghosts surrounds the damaged samurai and the five of them got consumed by demonic energy.
The spirits look on what was happening in front of them. They feel something was off at the giant ball of pure demonic energy.
"Everyone, get close to me!" Tohka demanded as her three friends obeyed.
She puts up a purple barrier around them to protect them from the expanding ball of dark power. Inside the barrier, the girls yelped and hold their ground after the demonic energy collided and rattled the barrier. Tohka and the others heard a cracking sound, they saw multiple lines started to form around their barrier. And in a few minutes, the barrier turned into shards of purple glass and the four spirits screamed as they got sent flying with the rocks and rubbles.
The demonic energy damaged their spirit armor, it almost got stripped away from their body. The four weakly groaned, coughed, and they tried to stand up but their body failed to respond.
Terrifyingly, the ball of demonic energy quickly died down, but what's inside of it is a whole new level of threat. The samurais are monsters yes, but this whole new breed is something out of a horror movie.
The once samurais turned into a grotesque humanoid with 4 faces and 6 arms that are holding different types of weapons. The 4 faces of this creatures resembled like the Onis, but with a fiercer look. The flesh of this being is dark and it lost all of its armor, revealing its muscular feature.
The girls couldn't help but stare at it with fear as they don't have enough powers left to fight another day. The creature roared at them, and without any hesitation, it immediately stomped towards them. It groaned and grunted as it leaves cracks behind with each stomp.
The girls all scurried away and their backs hit a wall. Their body shook as it get closer to them until... A cold blast of blue beam hits the creature, turning it into an ice sculpture.
The earth shook after a gigantic monstrous bunny landed in front of them with a blue haired girl riding it.
"Yoshino!" The four girls cried out in joy, making Yoshino smile at them.
And then a girl with green hair and a witch hat, riding a broom like staff arrived too.
"Natsumi!"
"Heya!" Natsumi waved at them.
"Where are the others?" Tohka asked weakly.
"We don't know, me and Yoshino are in the arcade when this humongous ape like creature started attacking people. And after we got out, everything suddenly turned dark." Natsumi replied.
"Tohka-san, we need to find Shido-san and gather up all the others as quickly as we can can." Yoshino spoke in a worried soft voice.
"You're right, but can we rest just for a little bit?" Tohka said groggily.
"Being a tanky spirit, they sure turned you into a dead beat." The giant bunny named, Yoshinon, mocked Tohka - - earning a fierce glare from her which made the bunny laugh.
"Come on! Get your butts up and hop on! You all can rest on my back!" Yoshinon spoke.
Using what was left of their strength, the four spirits shakingly pick themselves up and groggily walk to Yoshinon. With the help of Yoshino, they went all aboard at the back of Yoshinon before blasting off with Natsumi following from behind.
"..."
*Crack! *
Sounds of cracking filled the silence of the once cafeteria of the ruined Raizen high school. The ice encasing the mutated samurai is starting to form a crack and its growl can be heard from within it.
