"be careful juggernauts shoot fire you know" he called back but joined her none the less attaching a laser scope to his pistol and sniping a man off of a juggernaut "let's go then!"

Tainn called back to Steve. "You really think fire can do that much damage to me?" She said, grimacing as flames licked her fur. "I tell you what though, it'd be a hell of a lot easier if I had my old armour!" She dodged a fire bomb

Tainn looked below at Steve... "Yeah, but my armour changes with my transformations though, only Luna Warrior armour can do that...god, the last I saw of it was falling out of a plane not far from here, near that Island of yours..We were being shipped in to the other battle station and ran into..." She doged a couple of bullets. "...into bad weather conditions and we had to dump the cargo..." She grunted with effort as she tore down an airship... "But, it's not that important..."

Dante had often wandered the ruins of his ancestral home, defending it, but for some reason, he had felt compelled to leave. Something seemed to be drawing him South, in the direction of the Dark SiDe...
"Why am I doing this?"
Dante was walking South, with a large pack on his back, and a sword attached to his waist. He had two pistols holstered by his sides, which he had made himself. His mother had given him guidance on how to build them...
"I can't be much help to the Dark SiDe... I'm a failure as a warrior... My training was incomplete, and I let them down. My exile was my punishment. Why am I heading back?"

Steve and Tainn had just finished off the light siders when a new figure emerged from the shadows, but something told Steve not to attack, as he came closer he began to recognize the figure Dante? he thought

Tainn swept in at the newcomer, she brought her blade to his throat.. "NO! WAIT!" Steve yelled. "What the hell do you think you are doing?!?!" He fumed. Tainn looked at him...he noticed her eyes were swirling...they cooled as she took her blade back to her side. She stood back and became silent, awaiting further instructions; like the perfect warrior.

The woman who had a blade at Dante's throat looked calmer now, as she withdrew her weapon.
"Hello Steve, and sorry, but I don't think I know you..."
Dante hesitates to step forward to Steve, as the memory of his exile still haunted him. Whould he be accepted back?
"You should've let her kill me... It's all I deserve."

"it.. was a tragedy losing such a capable officer," he started, "but you came back and tht's the main thing." he smiled slightly and put his hand on Dante's shoulder. "it's good to see you."

Dante shrugged off Steve's hand, and stared at the ground.
"I don't deserve your thanks... But it is good to see you too... I guess, nobody really told the full story of why I left, huh? The only person who knew was Queen SD, but I hear she died. Has Shea taken over yet?"
Dante raised his gaze to Steve's face, and he tried to force a smile.
"I guess we could get back to the good old days, huh?"

"Nice to meet you, Tainn... We could always do with an extra hand. That's probably part of the reason I felt I should come back... Maybe you could use my help. Maybe I could atone for what happened..."
Dante drifted off slightly, and the edges of everyone's view went fuzzy, signalling the obligatory flashback scene.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dante was stood in a crowd of demons and human soldiers all fighting for the Dark SiDe. In front of us was a batallion of strong paladins, which should be no problem... And then a voice spoke to Dante, a voice only he could hear... He had heard it before, the voice of the demon that had lived inside his father for years. Upon Jason's death, the demon had jumped to Dante, and had barely spoken to him before... It seems the demon had no respect for Dante, as the only times he ever spoke were at the worst moments, and he tried to take over his mind...
You know what to do, don't you? Nobody leaves alive... Nobody... Nobody at all!
Before Dante could react, the icy fingers of the demon grabbed his mind, and took control over his actions. Dante's sight faded, and when he came to, he was laid in a pool of blood, and everyone around him was dead. No, not just dead. Mutilated. Everyone was dismembered, decapitated, and partially eaten. Dante surveyed the scene, and vomited. There was lumps of flesh in the vomit, and blood covering his face. He felt a constriction in his airway, and when he reached in, he pulled out a human finger, causing him to vomit more. The air stank of blood, fear, vomit, and death. Everywhere Dante looked, there were symbols drawn in blood, carved into remains, dismembered body parts. When Dante looked up, he screamed. Hanging from the ceiling were the bodies of babies, all hanging by thick ropes around their necks, their faces contorted into an agonised scream of death.
"I... Did this..."
Yes, you did...
"What have I done? WHAT HAVE I DONE?"
Well, you see the holes in that body there? Those are love-
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!"
The stillness of the air was pierced by Dante's traumatised cries. The sights he saw that day were not meant for human eyes to see, but he saw them anyway. Using the most powerful of his incendiary spells, he set the building on fire, and escaped. He vowed he would not go down with the horrors of that bloody palace, and when he saw light, he ran to it. He continued running until his lungs were aflame, until his heart pumped acid through his veins, and his tortured muscles simply refused to suffer the abuse. When he stopped, he was miles from anywhere, in a desolate wasteland, surrounded by nothing but sand. The night sky made every rock look like a creature waiting to jump out at him, a few times, Dante flinched at a possible attack, only to see a rock, with a shadow that looked like a surreal creature.
Fucking coward...
"SHUT UP!"
Then, Dante broke down and wept... He wept until he fell asleep, and when he awoke, the sun was setting once more, yet another day over...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK FINISHED~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dante looked up, sorrowfully, and surveyed the sky. He pulled one of his guns out, and looked at it, and stared at the barrel, as thought it held a hidden meaning only he understood.
"If you knew just how often i'd tasted the barrel of this gun, only to have something happen before I pull the trigger... Sometimes I think my dad is watching me, trying to make sure I don't do it. I'm honestly surprised i'm alive to see this day..."

Tainn gazed upon the newcomer. Steve obviously knew him well. She didn't particularly trust him but, it was part of her biological make up to be cynical and suspicious anyway. She couldn't help squirm at the way he looked at her, like she was an object. "Maybe that's how all humans see animals... she pondered. Her breathing was now calm and the skies silent bar a few cluttering thunks of the shredded airships... She bowed to Dante. "..to meet you sir..."
