==Plot== '''Devil May Cry 4''' opens with Nero, with his arm in a sling, racing towards the Opera House where a ceremony celebrating Sparda is already underway. Kyrie, Nero’s romantic interest, is beginning to open the ceremony with a song and is disappointed not to find Nero in the audience. She begins her song nonetheless as Nero encounters several Scarecrow demons on his way to the Opera House; he dispatches them and arrives at the Opera House just in time to hear the end of Kyrie’s song. Following this, Kyrie joins Nero in the audience where Nero has left her a present on her seat. As she sits, Sanctus, The High Priest of the Order begins a sermon about having faith in their god, Sparda. Bored, Nero attempts to leave when his arm begins to glow ominously. At this moment, [[Dante Sparda|Dante]] bursts through the ceiling and assassinates Sanctus. The cathedral guards then proceed to attack Dante who defeats them all with ease. In the chaos, Credo, Captain of the Holy Knights and brother to Kyrie rushes her out and promises to return with help, as Nero races to fend Dante off. Eventually, Dante gains the upperhand and uses his Stinger attack, which Nero blocks with his arm. Unleashing its demonic power, Nero uses his arm to defeat Dante by impaling him with his own sword. Unfazed, Dante is impressed by Nero's abilities and pulls himself from his sword. Motioning to the Holy Knights he killed, Dante reveals that they were demons; but as for Nero's arm he says, "I suspect you carry something different than the others." Before Nero can question him further, Dante leaves just before the reinforcements arrive, and stating to Nero that "business beckons". Nero is charged with capturing Dante and bringing him back to the Order to answer for his crimes by Credo, as Kyrie recovers Nero's present in the rubble; a necklace which she wears. As Nero, Credo and Kyrie leave the Opera House a demonic horde begins to lay waste to the city. Credo takes Kyrie away as Nero begins to slay the demons, and Credo warns Nero to be careful. Beginning his search for Dante, he is led to Fortuna Castle where he meets Gloria, a new member to the Order. Nero fights his way into the depths of Fortuna Castle. On the way, a cut scene reveals that Sanctus has been infused with the soul of a demon to be revived. Agnus, the stuttering scientist and mastermind of the Orders demonic power manipulation, is also introduced. Finally, Nero battles his way through Fortuna Castle where he stumbles upon Agnus's underground research facility. Here, it is revealed that Agnus has been using the shattered remains of Vergil's katana, Yamato, and its demonic power to create portals to the demon world all over the city; all in an attempt to harness demonic energy for The Order. In a surprise attack, Nero is wounded by Agnus whereupon Nero calls to Vergil's broken katana, Yamato, which responds to Nero's cry and mends itself before spinning willingly into his hand. Nero fends off Agnus' demonic knights with the aid of Yamato, and now an intimidating spectral blue demonic aura hovers around him before he collapses in exhaustion. Agnus flees back to Sanctus and informs him of Nero’s new-found power. In a meeting with Sanctus, now regenerated, he realizes the threat Nero represents to their plans and sends Credo to take care of him, while Gloria takes over Nero’s pursuit of Dante. Nero, spurred on by his desire for the truth encounters Credo who has been infused with demonic power. Transforming into a demon, Credo thinks himself an angel, "the next step in evolution." Dismayed at Credo's betrayal, Nero defeats him whereupon Kyrie appears finding Nero standing over her defeated brother. Agnus, takes advantage of the situation and kidnaps Kyrie after convincing her that Nero is a demon. Distraught with how his sister was used, Credo apologizes to Nero, promising to return once he has investigated Sanctus's true intentions. Nero continues on his journey, now to save Kyrie from Sanctus, and once more meets Dante. With his quest to capture him long since forgotten; he wishes to simply pass Dante. However, Dante wants Yamato returned to him stating that it simply has too much power to be trusted with anyone. A fight ensues where Dante is victorious; however, he reveals that it was a test to make sure that he could trust Nero with it for the time being. They trade names and form a steady alliance as Nero continues forward. Suddenly, Gloria appears before Dante as Nero leaves; however, it is revealed that she is actually Dante's partner, Trish. Thus, it is revealed that Dante has had Trish snooping as Gloria for the entire game. She questions whether Dante should allow Nero to keep Yamato and Dante reassures her. Finally Nero finds Sanctus with an enormous statue, in Sparda's image, which he calls the Savior. Sanctus reveals that only Yamato and the sword Sparda, along with Sparda's blood can awaken the Savior and unleash hell. They battle and Sanctus uses Kyrie as a human shield to distract Nero and capture him. Suddenly, Credo, having abandoned his faith, returns and attempts to rescue the two. Unfortunately Credo is defeated by Sanctus who using Yamato, subsequently stabs Nero. Revealing that Nero is a descendant of Sparda's blood The Savior awakens and Nero is absorbed within it. Dante and Trish appear, unable to stop the proceedings, as they promise Credo in his final moments to save Kyrie and Nero. Agnus, under the city, opens the hellgate with Yamato, which releases countless demons upon the city. Using The Savior to defeat the oncoming demons, Sanctus enacts his ultimate plan by putting the city through hell and then acting as their "Savior" Sparda, in order to raise the people's faith and worship. Dante, making his way through Fortuna, succeeds in destroying all the hell gates and kills Agnus, sealing the final hell gate. Finally taking on The Savior, Dante takes Yamato and drives it through the Savior's chest, where Nero reclaims it inside. Facing Sanctus, Nero sees Sanctus's twisted interpretation of Sparda's will and defeats him, freeing Kyrie in the process. In the aftermath, Nero returns Sparda to Dante when The Savior awakens, having absorbed Sanctus. Destroying this final demon, Nero makes peace with his arm and sees Dante off. Having already returned Sparda, Nero attempts to give Yamato back, but Dante, instead, entrusts Yamato with Nero saying that since Yamato means so much to him, "That's the only kind of gift worth giving." Dante leaves and Nero and Kyrie reconcile in the ruins of Fortuna. Stating that he is the most human person she has ever known, despite his demonic heritage, they are about to kiss when they are interrupted by scarecrow demons. Nero readily goes to face them off. Meanwhile, Lady returns to the Devil May Cry office where she had formerly hired Dante to go to Fortuna. Having completed the job, Lady offers a menial reward citing that Dante and Trish's presence escalated the simple job she had asked into the situation it became. As Trish and Lady argue over the reward money, they drag Dante into the argument while he reads a magazine. Unenthusiastically, Dante accepts the small reward as a phone call interrupts Lady exiting the shop. Trish answers and reveals that the caller is offering a job, which Dante happily accepts. As Dante suits up, Lady excitedly asks Dante if she can come along, to which Dante laughs and says, "Do what you want, but don't expect to get paid!" As the trio bursts through the door, Dante, Lady, and Trish all pose as Dante says, "Come on babes, Let's Rock!" and fires repeatedly at the screen.
