The military perimeter around Redgrave has completely fallen apart. Compeltely unequipped to handle a demonic invasion, the last bridge into the city is swarming with Empusa - and the Devil May Cry van splatters one on its grill before it can finish off an injured soldier on the ground. The van swerves to a stop nearby and you hop out, ready to test out your new gear.
You give the soldier a quick glance, "You look like you could use a hug - but you're not gettin' one from me." With a jerk of the thumb away from the city, you saunter past. "Better get lost."
"Hey, you're gonna get yourself killed!--"
"Don't crap yerself," Nico gets out of the van too - probably to see her creation at work (and to grab a smoke without you griping to her about the smell). "Let'im do his thing."
Soldierman isn't real receptive to this reassurance. "You what I said you dumb one-armed son of a bitch, you're gonna die!!"
Ha. You turn back towards him with a smrik. "Cheer up, Crewcut." With a gesture, the first of Nico's Devil Breakers - Overture - comes to life. "You takin' notes?"
It SLAMS into an incoming Empusa, utterly blowing it away - before you activate its Battery and utterly fry a second one with an massive electric blast. Nice. This baby really does pack a punch... not bad. "All right..." You've picked up a feel for it already. Giving it a little shake, you loosen up and get ready for the horde. "Time to kick some ass."
It's been a while since you could really cut loose like this, and you have fun with it. Fucking swinging demons around on your wire snatch while you ride on'em like it's a goddamn rodeo-- "WOO! Yeah! Hahaha--!" You skid on its head across the pavement before kicking across the road, sending a whole group of them flying... okay, maybe you might've gotten a little too wild. A stray hit totals your Devil Breaker while you were in the middle of using it, and you pause. Oopsie.
That definitely didn't escape Nico's notice. "HEY, PSYCHO! Watch the merchandise!"
"Hey, stop bitching and take cover!" It's fine - you smash that junked arm and load in a new one. There's more work to be done.
