Author's Note
fanfiction.net, mainly because of the adult content. I also wanted to see the
direction Capcom was gonna
take with Vergil in DMC4. Still, I guess it’s safe to
post this without contradicting DMC4. I always wanted to write a story with
my chance at doing that. *_*
This story contains harsh
language, religious discussion, violence, suicide, strong adult situations, sex,
drug & alcohol usage. (In no way does this story
condone either action. In truth, this story is really about hope and redemption,
partly inspired by my hope for a family friend who committed suicide years ago
to find peace.) Anyway, all those warnings are why I wanted to post this story
here. Even though it’s not as complete as my other fanfic,
Monster, is, it’s got over 361 pages worth of goodness. So, for those of you who
love long stories and suspense, you’ve come to the right place. XP I hope you
dig it. ^_^ BTW, for those who love Monster, this story takes place before that
fanfic, so you might stumble across familiar
*both* of my fanfics. I like to keep every story of
mine its own story.

and Pandora. Each of their stories opens with a journal and then switches to
third point of view, describing their side of a particular day. There'll be
other things included, like chatroom conversations
and reports from other characters. Finally, the story is set after DMC2.

was indeed being blocked. By bodies. Many more bodies
were discovered at the center of the dance floor. They appeared to be stacked
on top of the other. Majority of the club goers were found dead, chunks of their
flesh torn out. Remaining few were fatally wounded,
suffering from massive blood lost. Called in an ambulance and requested extra
assistance.
Oddly, the band was absent
as well as their equipment.

there were a handful of club goers still alive backstage. Though suffering from
similar 'bite' wounds they didn't appear to be severe or life-threatening.
However, each of the 15 we found were currently eating
off the bodies. They all appeared to be in a trance of some sort as neither of
them seemed aware of our presence. Even when Officer Nikolov
fired a warning shot they didn't make an attempt to escape or stop eating. As

Personal Notes /
Additional Information:
Event shared similar characteristics with cases 1045,
1302, 1506, 1966, 2179. These cases aren't localized
to a certain area but rather, spread across the world. From
to here in the States.
these events occurred in secluded night clubs, for one. Mainly underground.
that each case presented cannibalistic behavior among club goers. Strangely,
those who had actually partaken in the cannibalistic behavior like the 15 we
recently found, didn't remember why they did it. Yet,
they felt they had no control over themselves, as if possessed by an 'unknown
force.' Because it remains unknown as to how many cases are
similar to this in nature, determining a timeline to establish the first
case is improbable at the moment. Yet, it's been my theory that these cases may
have begun just during the past few years.
With the exception of three, all participants in each
of the cases had been law-abiding citizens with clean records. Other than that
night, they had never met each other. Psychological tests revealed none of them
were mentally ill either. Nor did they display any criminal-like behavior.
However, many admitted to taking illegal substances. A blood test revealed an
unidentifiable chemical present in their bloodstreams at the time of the event.
Even more revealing, these people had admitted in taking an unknown drug that
night. Forensics determined that many corpses possessed this same chemical too
at the time of death. Eyewitnesses who survived the ordeal and didn't partake
in the cannibalistic behavior actually tested negative for this chemical. There
may be a connection established here.
Details of this drug remain unknown. There's always a
chance another factor is the cause for these extreme behaviors. Yet, I
recommend a thorough investigation of the drug since it's been present in all
these cases. If it is indeed responsible for these odd behaviors then we have a
serious matter in our hands. Its side effects are extremely lethal and, as we
all know, drugs remain a problem worldwide. The distribution of the drug may be
as far reaching and elusive as other drugs out in the street.
Having said that, I feel the Department must proceed
with caution. The grisly details displayed in these cases might cause panic
beyond our community. As we know, some underground organizations might even
take advantage of this. Luckily, all the cases I mentioned here haven't merit
enough publicity thanks to the current Project Serial scandal. Regardless, I
suspect we'll see more cases like this emerging in the future so it'll only be
a matter of time before the public knows. Perhaps sooner.
I feel we should place these cases on our top agenda and contact other
Departments to make them aware of the situation.
One last thing that I feel is worth mentioning, and
possibly another link to these cases, is the presence of an unknown band. No
one remembers the band's name nor can recollect their faces. All that we truly
know for sure is that they're a heavy metal band that has a taste for the
Satanic. Even among those who survived the event don't remember their name.
Asked who was playing in the Vortex that night, none of them recalled. However,
one of the eyewitnesses said something I found peculiar.
'They were playing the
Devil's music.'
