Discord may cry

There before them stood the immense ruins of the tower Temen-ni-gru, even in it's crumbling state it was still impressive. Its Greek/Victorian mix style made it look strange but at the same time a marvel to look at. The entrance was blocked by a large slab of stone that had fallen from somewhere above.Dante looked at it disapprovingly, "Well this wasn't here before." Lady however smiled.

"I've got this." She said swinging her rocket launcher to bear and firing. The enormous missile slammed into the slab of stone in a ball of fire launching dust into the air. The rock however still stood stubborn and obstinate.

Dante laughed, "Things as stubborn as you are." Lady gave him a pissed look as she shouldered the launcher for another shot, but before she could Dante raised his hand and took the guitar case off his back, unzipping it.

Lady smirked. "What, are you going to sing it a song or something?" Dante smiled and pulled out his enormous sword, Rebellion. At this Lady lost her smile for a second but soon regained it. "Come on you really think you can.." Dante shut her up by making a slashing motion and cleaving the enormous rock in two with a single sweep. At this lady slung the launcher over her shoulder and grabbed her equipment without a single word. The two entered the tower, the entry hall was a large dome covered in an unmeaning ice with ice the size of small buildings hanging from differing places on the ceiling and floor offering stability to the room. Suddenly from the ice burst a three headed dog, each head and most parts of the body covered in ice like armor. It lunged at them snarling, Lady brought her launcher and SMG to bear but Dante put a hand on the barrel of her gun and pushed it down as he walked forward. He broke into a sprint and launched himself at the dog jumping a ways off the ground.

Spinning he brought his hoof to bear and punched right through the ice on the central head shattering it and hitting the dog on the nose shouting, "Sit!" as he did so. The dog immediately sat down and began to whimper.

"I am sorry master, I did not recognize you. It has been so long since you last came here. My apologies." The massive beast said lowering its maw.

Dante smiled and patted the massive canine on the head. "It's okay boy, it's my fault I keep forgetting to walk you. Mind letting us past?"

The dog wagged it's massive tail. "Of course master, you have already proved yourself a worthy champion and while the mortal I am unsure of I trust you judgment."

"Good boy." He said patting the massive beast on the head. walking past. Lady quickly caught up obviously nervous.

"The hell was that?" She asked once they were past the monstrous dog.

"Oh that?" Dante said brushing some dust of his coat. "That's Cerberus, he's the guardian of this place."

Lady looked back unsure, but continued on anyway. They entered the main spire, rubble littered the floor but for the most part the tower seemed in tact on the inside. "Well this is where we part ways." She said smiling, "My objective should be around here someplace, see you later devil boy."

Dante smiled, "Remember when we first met?" Dante said gesturing to the stairs most of witch were in ruin. She smiled and swung the launcher to bear and fired at an angle, Dante ran forward jumping onto the missile riding it like a skate board. "Woooohooo!" he shouted as he rode the rocket up angling it to the top of the tower.

"Stallions." She said shaking her head walking away.

Dante rode the missile for a few 30 floors before jumping off letting it harmlessly run out of fuel and clatter to the floor. Smiling he walked over to a door and kicked it open. From the side he heard a cackling and spun just in time to deflect and attack from an enormous shade wielding an equally large scythe. Using his sword he knocked the attack away and followed up with a flurry of strikes knocking the shade back. As the beast stumbled back a few steps he drew Ebony and shot a flurry of rounds into the beast, instead of blood however the beast let out dust. The shade recovered quickly and vanished in a cloud of shadows. It apeared behind him slashing with its gigantic blade but Dante blocked it behind his back, turning around he cleaved the shade in two. It stood there for a few seconds before falling into dust. Returning his sword to its place he walked on leaving the dead shade behind.

After making his way up a flight of stairs he found himself in a circular room, in the center a small indent in the floor with a bit of dried blood in it. Bringing an amulet from beneath his shirt he placed it in the dip. Using the blade of Rebellion he cut his palm and dripped a bit of his blood into the indent. The room shuddered as power amassed in the gem drawing in the blood. The entire room rumbled as power flooded around the room and shot into the gem. Radiating with power the gem floated into the air, suddenly from within the gleaming gem shot a beam of pure darkness. A darkness radiated about the room turning the room inside out then a portal opened, grabbing the amulet from the air he returned it to its place beneath his shirt now glowing with a demonic energy. Dante smiled, "Hope the locals aren't awake." he said before jumping headfirst into the deamon realm.
