Interlude[]
(Cue Invader - Death Battle Theme)

Dante[]
(Cue Out of Darkness - Devil May Cry 4)
Camilla: Two thousand years ago, there was a war between the human world and the demon world with the demons being lead by the Dark Emperor Mundus in an attempt to conquer the human world however one demon in particular stood up against the Dark Emperor’s tyranny.
Ruby: This demon was named Sparda and all by himself defeated Mundus’s army and eventually Mundus himself before sealing him away as well as closing the doors between the human world and the demon world.
Ghost: Sparda would later meet a human named Eva and eventually have two sons however life for those his family would change once Sparda would unknowingly die and tragedy would soon strike as Demons who followed Mundus would come and attack Eva and her sons.
Camilla: During the attack, Eva would be killed by the demons while her two sons would be separated with both of them presuming the other being deceased however Sparda’s youngest son would meet and man named Enzo and would start his own demon hunting business.
Ruby: And the name of the Son of Sparda was…Dante.
(Cue Public Enemy - Devil May Cry)
Ghost: Dante is without a doubt one of the toughest demon hunters in the business, being able to go head to head with the Demon’s Worlds toughest demons and not only hold his own but come out on top without even trying in some instances.
Ruby: Dante has shown incredible skill in hand to hand combat being able to take on numerous demons while equipped with weapons based on right this method of fighting.
Camilla: Dante is an incredible swordsman showing complete mastery with any type of blade that he’s given and has demonstrated against numerous foes like Vergil, Baul, Modeus, and Nero that his skill is quite incredible.
Ghost: Dante is an incredibly strong fighter being able to break solid stone just by banging his hand against it, overpower demons much, MUCH larger than himself and even block a blow from the Savior.
Ruby: Dante also has incredible speed and agility being able to dodge bullets at a close range and even being able to keep up with his brother Vergil in a fight and even react and jump on a missile fired in his direction.
Camilla: However Dante’s greatest ability is his sheer durability having survived numerous types of injuries that would kill a normal human being. Dante has survived being impaled in multiple places, survived getting shot point blank in the head, survived getting stabbed in the chest multiple times, and survived a downright aggressive beating from Nero…
Ghost: A lot of this is due to Dante’s demonic blood which offers him numerous abilities one such ability is a regenerative healing factor that also plays a factor into Dante’s durability, allowing him to heal from those rather mentioned injuries.
(Cue The Time Has Come - Devil May Cry 4)
Ruby: He also has limited telekinesis being able to stop a motorcycle in mid air then proceed to shoot it.
Camilla: Dante is also able to focus his demonic energy into physical objects like his weapons.
Ghost: Dante also has several methods of fighting called “Styles” these styles are based around a specific area of combat and Dante can use these styles to help turn any fight in his favor.
Ruby: Dante has a total of six styles with each with giving allowing him a lot of ways of handling a situation.
Ghost: The first style is trickster and this style empathizes on dodging his opponents attack and teleporting to avoid the attacks coming his way.
Camilla: The next style is Swordsmaster and this style primarily on the master of the numerous weapons Dante has at his disposal allowing him to use them to the fullest potential.
Ruby: Dante’s third style is the Gunslinger style which focuses on the use of firearms and as well firearm based weaponry.
Ghost: His fourth style is the Royalguard style and is potentially his most strongest, this style emphasizes on counter, minimizing damage, and blocking attack…Dante can actual enter a form called “Dreadnaught” which lets him enter an armored form that makes him impervious to enemy assaults.
Camilla: His fifth style is called the Doppelganger Style in which Dante can create copies of himself allowing him to be assisted in battle.
Ruby: His sixth and final style is the Quicksilver style and in this style it allows Dante to stop time enabling him to move at lightning quick speeds.
Ghost: You may think that is all there is too Dante but we haven’t even gotten to the weapons at his disposal.
Ruby: (Excitedtly) AND HE HAS SO MANY WEAPONS THAT ARE JUST AWESOME!!!
Camilla: Ever the puppy when it comes to weapons.
(Cue Taste The Blood (Battle 1) - Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening)
Ruby: Alright, I’ll handle things from here. Dante wields numerous firearms and demonic weaponry called Devil Arms, Devil Arms are demonic weapons that are commonly a manifestation of a Demon’s soul or power and Dante having defeated numerous demons in his career has A LOT of Devil Arms at his disposal.
Ghost: Dante’s primary three weapons are his sword and pistols.
Ruby: Dante’s sword is named the Rebellion and is a keepsake from his father, the Rebellion is a magical blade and serves as a physical manifestation of Dante’s demonic power and he has shown incredible skill with Rebellion being able to throw it like a boomerang and launch shockwaves of demonic energy at his opponents for devastating effect.
Camilla: Then are his pistols.
Ruby: Yep! Dante’s pistols are named Ebony and Ivory two twin pistols that Dante wield and you’d think that just because they’re guns that they aren’t hat useful but is that far from the truth, these beautiful pieces of weaponry are Semi-Automatic pistols designed to rapidly fire bullets empowered with demonic energy and both customized for different purposes. Ivory was specially customized to focus on rapid fire and to quickly be drawn while Ebony was designed for Long distance targeting and Dante can also focus his demonic energy into these beauties to increase the firepower turning any demon in his way into nothing but a target dummy.
Ghost: She seems to be enjoying herself.
Ruby: His Next Devil Arm is the Gilgamesh a pair of armored Gauntlet and Greaves that allow Dante to use these in hand to hand combat, on the gauntlets are drills that are capable of extending during an attack and saws on the greaves allowing Dante to cut through his opponents with kick and they also posses thrusters that allows Dante to power up his attacks for more devastating damage, these Gauntlets are capable of breaking a stone monolith with a single punch and allowed Dante to break through result debris with mere kicks.
Camilla: His next weapon is the Cerberus.
Ruby: The Cerberus is a triple nunchacku with the ability to stretch at extreme lengths and is also infused with the power of Ice allowing him to freeze his opponents or launch pillars of ice at them.
Ghost: Dante has a lot more weapons at his disposal such as Nevan, Agni & Rudra, Beowulf, Lucifer, Nightmare-β, Artemis, Ifrit, Alastor, Spiral, Coyote-A, Submachine Guns, a Missile launcher, and a grenade launcher.
(Cue Devils Never Cry-HR Edition - Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition)
Camilla: This brings us to possibly two of his most powerful weapons.
Ruby: The First one is the famed Pandora, this Devil Arms has 666 different forms, and it can turn into seven different forms such as a Bow the fires missiles, a bazooka, a laser canon, a Gatling gun, a mobile missile batter that fires homing rockets, and a giant shuriken.
Ghost: His next weapon is his brother’s own sword.
Ruby: This Katana is called the Yamato and as Ghost said was wielded by Dante’s brother, Vergil. The Yamato is a an incredibly powerful and sharp blade, it is capable of cutting through virtually anything even space itself and the Yamato is also able to cut things even from a distance like the time he cut the Hell-Gate in half from afar which just a normal sword swing.
Ghost: Wielding the Yamato also gives Dante access to Vergil’s own style, the Dark Slayer style.
Camilla: But if you’re done then you’re wrong because when push comes to shove, Dante can enter his Devil Trigger.
Ghost: The Devil Trigger allows Dante to tap into his full power and in this form Dante’s physical and demonic power is dramatically amplified as well as giving Dante the ability to fly, can shoot lightning and fire at his opponents.
Ruby: Dante is definitely a without a doubt one tough opponent! He is capable of taking demons with little fort, fought his brother Vergil defeated him in their third encounter, survived getting hit with meteors, defeated numerous fearsome demons, defeated Sid with Abigail’s power, defeated Baul and his brother Modeus and even defeated the Demon King Mundus himself!
Camilla: Dante is without a doubt possibly the strongest character in all of Devil May Cry and has even been said by other demons that Dante’s power surpass even that of his own father Sparda however despite all of this Dante is not perfect.
Ghost: Dante’s healing factor can be slowed down if he’s fighting an opponent that can match him such as his brother Vergil and he himself can also be worn down being able to be overpowered by the likes of Arkham, Dante is rather cocky and arrogant not taking a fight seriously at first which has lead to him being overpowered such as his first fight with Nero, also Dante is rather a showoff in some cases.
Ruby: But despite this, if you need a demon that needs to be hunted then you can count on the Half Demon, Half Human, Red Coat wearing, Pizza eating Demon Hunter to get the job done!
Dante: This whole business started with my father sealing the entrance between the two worlds. And now, my brother is trying to break the spell and turn this place into demonville. This is my family matter too. Quite frankly, at first, I didn't give a damn. But because of you, I know what's important now. I know what I need to do.
Erza Scarlet[]

Ruby: Despite these incredible feats, Erza is not without her own weaknesses’; Requiping armors drains her Magic Power and while she has a lot can still run out, her armors can be broken with enough damage, the Nakagami Armor while powerful consumes a large amount of Erza’s magic, and Clear Heart Clothing offer Erza no means of defense.
Camilla: Despite all of this…Erza is without a doubt one of Fairy Tail’s strongest members and when her guild or friends are in danger than you can expect Erza to defend them against whatever threat comes their way.
Erza Scarlet: No matter what you try to steal from me... the light that lights my path cannot be stolen by anyone. Even if I cannot see, even if I cannot hear, there is a light within me. The path I have walked alongside my friends will light my tomorrow. I have nothing to fear!
DEATH BATTLE[]
Ghost: Alright the Combatants are set time to settle this debate once in for all…
Camilla: Ruby, if you would be so kind?
Ruby: IT’S TIME FOR A DEATH BATTLE!!!!!!
Random Forest
A woman with red hair and wearing armor named Erza Scarlet was working through the forest however her attention was drawn to the sound of large explosion and looks towards the direction it came from, she quickly started running towards the source determined to know what it was.
When she reached the source of an explosion, all she found was a man with hair wearing a red coat holding a sword that was currently stabbed into the ground while he was staring up to the sky and she looked up see a Gorain being launched towards the sky and possibly likely to end up landing in another area of the forest, Erza turned her attention towards man.
“You!” She yelled and the man turned his attention towards her before letting out a whistle at the sight in front of him...this man...was Dante.
“Finally another person and quite a good looking one I might add.” Dante said as he pulled the Rebellion out of the ground and placed it on his back and began walking towards Erza, who quickly summoned a sword and pointed towards Dante as he reached her keeping him from getting closer, Dante looked at Erza in slight curiosity.
“Who are you?” Erza questioned and Dante put his hands up in mock surrender while moving around Erza who kept her sword trained on him.
“The most stylish and viewtiful Demon Hunter in the world.” Dante said in his usual care free tone and Erza raised an eyebrow at Dante’s answer but simply kept her sword pointed at him while he moved his arms behind his head.
“Well then…’Demon Hunter’, what are you doing out here?” Erza questioned.
“I’m looking for a town called Magnolia, a demon named E.N.D is supposed to be there.” Dante informed and Erza’s eyes widened in shock at what Dante was looking for…he was looking for E.N.D? Was he another member of Tartaros? Was he another Etherious trying to find E.N.D? Better yet…why was E.N.D in Magnolia?
Regardless…he couldn’t reach Magnolia and she needed to stop him.
“I don’t know why it is your seeking E.N.D but I cannot allow that to happen.” Erza declared as she swung her sword however Dante effortlessly dodged and pulled out his guns Ebony & Ivory as Erza swung her sword again too which Dante blocked with Ivory and she continued to swing her swords with Dante blocking with his guns before spinning around her.
Erza turned towards Dante however she was met with the Demon Hunter pointing Ivory right in her face.
“Ohh, I love a fast woman.” Dante said in a rather flirtatious manner and Erza quickly knocked Dante’s pistol of her face and swung her sword as she leapt back putting distance between her and the Demon Hunter who holstered his pistols and simply stared at her with a cocky smile on his face.
(Cue Rokurou's Theme - Tales of Berseria)
“Alright, come on babe…” Dante said as he started punching the air a couple of times before wiping his thumb along his nose and gesturing for Erza to come at him.
“Let’s Rock!”
Announcer: Fight!
Erza charged at Dante with her sword at the ready prompting Dante to reach behind him and pull out his Rebellion quickly swinging it as Erza reached and swung her own sword causing the blades to clash, Dante quickly broke the clash and delivered a series of sword strikes that Erza blocked or met with a strike of her own this continued prompting Erza to summon another sword in her free hand and swing it at Dante who quickly dashed backwards to avoid the strikes.
Dante smirked as he switched the Rebellion to a back hand grip and held it behind him, the blade beginning to glow a bright red before Dante swung it forward in upward strike launching a shockwave at the Mage who quickly dodged to the side prompting Dante to launch more shockwaves at the Mage who continued to dodged them until one of them was about to hit her prompting her to raise her swords in front of her in an “x” shaped guard as the shockwave hit sending her crashing into a nearby tree.
Erza looked towards Dante who was rushing towards her with the Rebellion drawn back and quickly moved out of the way as Dante reached her thrusting his sword into the tree while yelling “Breakdown!”, Erza rushed at Dante and swung her swords at his own which was still stabbed into the tree knocking it out of his hands and into the ground.
Dante spun around Erza avoiding another sword strike and quickly took out Ebony and Ivory as Erza spun around quickly swinging her swords again only for them to be blocked with the pistols, Dante fired his guns knocking the blades back and quickly pointed them at Erza opening fire at the Mage who quickly begin swinging her swords at each bullet making its way towards her with each bullet being cut in half as she swung her blades at them.
Erza charged towards Dante still swinging her swords as Dante continued to shoot at her only for the bullets to be slashed in half, Erza reached Dante quickly swinging her sword at the Demon Hunter’s head only for him to dodge and shot at her head however Erza moved her head to the side causing the bullet to take out a few strands of her hair. Erza continued to swing her swords at Dante while he continued to dodge or block with his guns firing them at the Mage who either dodged or slashed the bullets in half.
Erza thrusted one of her swords forward however Dante smiled as he teleported out of the way much to Erza’s surprise and she looked behinds her seeing Dante standing next to where Rebellion was as he picked up the sword and rested it against his shoulder as he smirked at Erza.
“That the best you got?” Dante taunted and the swords in Erza’s hand disappeared as her entire body began glowing.
“Requip!” She shouted as light soon consumed her prompting Dante to put his hand in front of him to shield his eyes from the light, the light dissipated and Dante lowered his hand only to quickly side step as a sword was launched at him, he looked at Erza only to see her now wearing her Heaven’s Wheel Armor with two swords in her hands at the ready.
Dante smiled as he dashed forward with the Rebellion drawn back however as he reached Erza and thrusted his sword forward, Erza flew over the attack and landed behind the Demon hunter who quickly turned around as Erza flew towards him with both her blades at the ready and swung them as she reached the Demon Hunter who quickly raised his sword causing their blades to clash and lock.
Erza broke the clash and swung her swords in rapid succession prompting Dante to block each strike with the Rebellion, Dante delivered a powerful slash that Erza blocked however she was knocked back by the attack.
“Trinity Sword!” Erza shouted as she swung her swords in a delta formation and Dante raised the Rebellion in front of him as the attack hit knocking him back, Rebellion disappeared and instead of appearing on his back…Lucifer appeared instead and Dante took out two swords from the Devil Arm.
“Catch this!” Dante said as he threw the swords at Erza who quickly swung her swords and slashed them apart, Dante launched another set of swords at Erza who quickly flew into the air and dodged the attack prompting Dante to leap into the air and launch one sword after another at the mage prompting Erza to dodged each sword or deflect it with her sword causing some of the swords that she dodged to hit some trees and explode prompting the trees to fall over as a result.
Erza flew towards Dante with both her blades at the ready and upon reaching him swung them however the Demon Hunter leapt over her and landed behind her, Erza turned around and saw more swords surrounding her as they began converging on her prompting her to switch the sword in her right hand to a back hand grip and spin around swinging her blades as the swords converged on her cutting them in half.
Erza locked forward but was met with Dante thrusting his Rebellion at her and knocking her back, Erza came to a stop however her eyes widened and she quickly flew upward dodging the Rebellion which was thrown at her like a boomerang as it hit some trees cutting them down and causing them to fall.
Erza summoned multiple swords and aimed them all at the Demon Hunter who quickly dodged the first few swords that came his way before taking out Ebony & Ivory and quickly opening fire at the other swords coming his way, the bullets hit some of the swords causing them to break however the rest of the swords continued to converge on him and he didn’t have enough time to shot them as one of the swords quickly entered his left abdomen then another stabbing him in the right arm before a few more stabbed him in his chest, arms, and right abdomen…
Dante coughed up blood as he dropped both his pistols and fell backward onto the ground Erza landed on the ground and let out a heavy sigh at what was just done.
“You left me no choice…” She said as she turned her back to her deceased opponent
“Impressive…” A voice said and Erza opened her eyes and quickly turned around only for her eyes to widen in shock at the sight of Dante beginning to stand as if nothing was wrong, he looked in her direction as she backed up a bit.
“But…this is something that’s happened before.” Dante said in a casual tone as a small spark of red electricity surged around causing the swords stabbed in him to break and kneeled down as he picked up Ebony & Ivory quickly holstering the two pistols.
“What are you?” Erza questioned and Dante simply raised his arms in a fighting stance as two armored Gauntlet’s appeared on his forearms and two armored greaves appeared on legs with a small metal pack on his back and a mask covering his face as he equipped Gilgamesh.
(Cue Erza Vs Erza - Fairy Tail)
“Why don’t you come find out?” Dante said as he charged at Erza who quickly readied her swords as Dante leapt into the air and dived kicked at Erza who leapt back as the Demon Hunter impacted with the ground destroying it, Dante closed the distance between Erza and himself prompting Erza to swing her blades at him however Dante quickly blocked each strike thanks to the Gilgamesh.
Dante delivered a spin kick with the saw on the heel of the greave extending and rotating causing Erza to lean back and avoid the strike, she learned forward and swung her sword however Dante caught the blade and delivered a powerful kick to Erza’s stomach knocking her back however the Mage quickly recovered and flew up into the air and flew at Dante with multiple swords appeared behind her and following her.
Dante pulled his arm back as it began glowing as gas started coming out of it, and he prepared himself as the Mage neared him.
“Bulmenblatt!” Erza shouted as she swung her blades at him, however Dante punched upward and hit Erza hard in the face and knocking her into the sky as well as himself and Dante looked at the swords still heading in where he previously was and he quickly fell back down to the ground slamming his fist into the ground unleashing a shockwave knocking the swords out of the air and sending them scattered around the area.
Dante looked around however he couldn’t find Erza however his attention was drawn to a familiar female voice shouting.
“Dance, My Swords!” Erza shouting as multiple swords circled around her in a disc formation as she reached Dante.
“Circle Sword!” Erza yelled as she swung her swords sending the sword launching at Dante who quick kicked rapidly at the swords breaking them in the process, Dante dashed towards Erza with her doing the same and upon reaching each other…Erza thrusted her sword forward however Dante dodged the attack with the blade scraping against his cheek drawing blood and delivered a powerful one inch punch to the Mage’s stomach.
Erza gasped for air as she was sent flying back into a tree as well as having her armor broken by the attack, Erza was sent crashing into a tree causing it to fall over in the process and Dante looked at it expecting the mage to stay down however Erza came out of the debris in her Black Wing Armor and flew towards Dante with her sword drawn and ready.
Dante put his hand out as the Rebellion came to him and quickly grabbed the Blade by the handle swinging it as Erza reached him and did the same causing their blades to lock.
Dante put his hand out as the Rebellion came to him and quickly grabbed the Blade by the handle swinging it as Erza reached him and did the same causing their blades to lock, Dante and Erza break the clash and swing their swords matching strikes however until Erza leapt back and flew away from Dante who quickly ran after her.
Erza maneuvered out of the way as she flew past numerous trees and looked to the side to dodge a sword strike from Dante as she kept fly forward with Dante following after her, Erza continued to fly forward with Dante occasionally leaped towards her swinging the Rebellion with Erza blocking it with a strike of her own.
Erza reached a clearing full of nothing but ruins of temples and quickly turned around too see no one behind her however she saw a shadow looming over her prompting her to turn around and see Dante descending towards with the Rebellion raised over his head and she quickly raised her sword in front of her as the strike connected sending both of them crashing into the ground.
(Cue Swipe of Sword - Devil May Cry 4)
Nothing but a dust cloud filled the air however it was soon disturbed as Dante was sent crashing into a stone column and looked toward the dust cloud only to see Erza charging at him with her sword pulled back and ready to strike prompting Dante to teleport out of the way as she swung her sword and hit the column causing it to fall over and crashing into the ground.
Erza turned around however Dante was nowhere in sight, she noticed a shadow looming over prompting her too quickly turn around and immediately raise her sword above her as Dante descended delivering a powerful downward strike with the Rebellion causing their blades to lock and the ground beneath Erza to crack from the blow.
Erza pushed Dante back and he landed a few feet away from the Fairy Queen, Erza flew forward closing the distance between her and Dante delivering quick swings of her sword delivery one attack after another to which Dante blocked with the Rebellion, before getting knocked back by Erza.
Dante looked toward Erza as she dashed forward swinging her sword to which Dante blocked with his Rebellion causing their blades to lock again, Dante pushed Erza back and dashed forward delivering a swing from Rebellion knocking Erza back and dashed forward again this time delivering an upward strike knocking her into the air and she quickly spread her armors wings and Dante leapt into the air after her.
The Demon Hunter reached her and delivered multiple swings from his Rebellion that Erza quickly blocked and continued to until the Demon Hunter delivered a powerful downward strike knocking her down to the ground.
Dante took out Ebony & Ivory and fired a charged shot at Erza who quickly raised her sword in order to block the attack and as the shot collided with the blade, it shattered causing Erza to drop the broken blade and requip two axes.
The Mage flew towards Dante and upon reaching slashed him back down to the ground causing him to drop Ebony & Ivory, Erza flew down towards Dante with axe’s ready however she quickly dodged to the side as a spread of bullets was fired in her direction. She looked towards Dante who had the Rebellion in one hand and the Coyote-A in another.
Dante looked at Erza and started bowing and placed the hand that was holding Coyote-A out.
“Jackpot.” Dante said as he fired however Erza dashed to the side much to Dante’s surprise and requiped another sword, she pulled the weapon back and dashed towards Dante with her sword ready.
“Moon Flash!” She yelled as she slashed Dante in a cross pattern causing him to drop Rebellion and Coyote-A, Erza dashed past him and quickly turned around flying back towards him and began glowing as she changed into another armor.
Dante turned around only to be met with a powerful punch to the chest sending him crashing through multiple columns until coming to a stop by crashing against another column, Dante shook his head and looked forward only to see Erza charged at him in the Giant Armor with her right arm pulled back and delivered another punch to the Demon Hunter sending him crashing through the column.
Erza leapt into the air and summoned the De-Malevo-Lance and threw it towards Dante as it started shooting fire out of the side of the spear propelling it forward like a rocket, Dante dashed to the side narrowly avoiding the lance and looked towards Erza only to begin running at her as his forearms and legs started glowing.
Dante leapt into the air as the Beowulf Gauntlet and Greaves appeared and he dive kicked towards Erza who punched towards him causing their blows to clash and the ground beneath them to crack.
(Cue Pledge of Demon - Ryu Ga Gotoku 0)
Erza pushed Dante back and the Demon Hunter landed on the ground sliding back looking in Erza’s direction, Dante ran towards Erza and delivered a straight punch that Erza quickly blocked prompting Dante to punch forward however Erza dodged this and delivered a punch to the Demon Hunter sending him stumbling back.
Dante threw a series of punch before following up with a kick however Erza blocked each strike and caught Dante’s kick, she spun around and swung Dante away sending him crashing him a nearby wall. Erza locked at where she had thrown Dante only to be hit by a ball of light sending her back against a stone column.
Erza shook her head and looked forward only to be met with Dante dashing forward again and delivering a straight punch sending Erza through the Column, Erza got up and looked upwards only to see Dante descending towards her and she raised her arms above her head as Dante punched downwards towards her and Erza blocked the blow as light erupted from the attack, Dante landed in front of Erza and delivered a multiple hits to the Mage that she was unable to respond too before delivering an uppercut to her however Erza simply glared at Dante and delivered a punch to his face.
Erza delivered one punch after another to the Demon Hunter delivering a punch to his chest and knocking him back, Erza closed the distance between them and delivered a powerful sucker punch to Dante causing him to slouch forward and gasp for air only to be met with a hard punch to his face knocking him into the air.
Dante fell back down and just as he was about to hit the ground, Erza punched forward with the hit connecting to Dante and sending him crashing into another column however Dante quickly recovered and ran towards Erza who did the same and upon reaching each other they quickly punched forward causing their blows to collide and causing the ground to crack in the process.
Dante and Erza began throwing one punch after another only for their blows to collide with the other causing the ground to crack further and further, Dante and Erza glared at each other as they continued to clash with the other however just as Erza punched forward…Dante ducked and delivered a powerful uppercut to the Mage knocking her into the air and launching him into the air as well.
Dante dive kicked at Erza and sent her crashing into the ground and Dante punched downward Erza as the hit connected causing an explosion of light to erupt from the blow, Dante stood however he was met with his leg being grabbed again and being tossed to the side.
Erza summoned the De-Malevo-Lance and rushed at the Demon Hunter too which she immediately thrusted the weapon forward however it was met with Dante delivered a step kick causing the attack to clash with the kick, Erza pushed Dante back and dashed forward swinging her lance however Dante blocked each blow with his gauntlets however he was unable to block a few attacks as Erza delivered multiple slashes too him.
Erza thrusted her lance forward however Dante delivered an axe kick to the blade of the weapon bringing his foot down on the weapon and causing it be pinned to the ground, Dante spun around and delivered a spinning kick to Erza knocking her back and forcing her to drop the spear.
Erza stumbled back but quickly reclosed the distance between her and Dante delivered a punch that the mage caught and delivered two quick jab to Dante’s face causing him to step back, Dante looked back at Erza and stepped forward and punched however Erza side stepped and delivered a hard punch to Dante’s side causing him to cough up blood and Erza quickly delivered a punch to the back of Dante’s head before moving in front of him and delivering a uppercut knocking the Demon Hunter down onto the ground.
‘Wasn’t that Kiryu’s move…?’ Dante thought as he quickly leapt to his feet and narrowly dodged a punch from Erza and delivered a side kick too Erza sending her back causing some of the armor to crack a bit, Dante dashed forward and leapt into the air towards Erza in an attempt to knee her however the Mage blocked the attack.
Dante landed back on the ground quickly pulling his arm back and Erza doing the same as they punched at each other however their arms locked, Erza and Dante looked at each other and both proceeded to punch the other in the side with their free hands and as they punched each other…Erza’s armor started cracking as each punch from Dante connected.
Erza kneed Dante and moved past him grabbing the De-Malevo-Lance too which she quickly turned around and thrusted it forward however she was met with a copy of Dante appearing and countered the attack while the real Dante dashed forward and delivered an spinning uppercut to the mage knocking her into the air and launching Dante into the air as well and while they were in the air, Dante brought his hands together and brought them down sending Erza crashing down to the ground.
Dante landed back on the ground and looked at where Erza had crashed however he was met with a blast of lightning shooting prompting him to take out Alastor and swing it at the blast of lightning breaking through the attack in the process, he looked back towards Erza who was now wearing the Lightning Empress Armor.
(Cue Rebellion (Vocals) - BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger)
“Heh, you’re pretty good.” Dante said as he rested Alastor against his shoulder and looked at Erza who simply glared at Dante as she pointed her spear of Lightning at Dante.
“I’m impressed by your skill as well however I will not back down, I cannot let you reach Magnolia or E.N.D!” Erza declared and Dante let out a sigh and his expression changed to that of a serious one.
“Guess I’m gonna have to start taking this seriously…” Dante said as he dashed forward with Alastor and thrusted the sword forward however Erza met the attack by thrusting her spear forward causing their attacks to clash with a burst of lightning erupting from the clash.
Dante broke the clash a swung Alastor however Erza met the attack with her spear prompting Dante to deliver a quick combination of sword swings that Erza matched with attacks of her own, Dante leapt into the air and a sigil appeared under him launching him further into the air and quickly swung downward towards Erza who raised the spear and blocked the attack causing lightning to erupt from the clash.
Erza pushed Dante back breaking the clash and causing Dante to slide back as he threw Alastor at Erza like a boomerang, Erza raised her spear to block the attack as the blade continued to spin against her spear however Dante pulled out Nevan and quickly started playing it.
Erza knocked Alastor away however she quickly swung her spear as numerous bats started surrounding her, Dante continued to play Nevan and launched multiple blasts of lightning at Erza with the attacks and the hit connected however Erza wasn’t affected and quickly retaliated by launching a blast of lightning of her own at Dante with the blast hitting some bats in the process.
Dante turned Nevan into its scythe form and swung it at the blast of lightning breaking through the attack, Dante dashed forward swinging the scythe at Erza who met the attack by swinging her spear causing the attacks to clash.
Dante swung the scythe upward knocking Erza into the air and Dante leapt into the air as well and continued to play Nevan causing more bats to appear and swarm Erza however they were quickly dispersed as she swung her spear around her destroying them.
As they landed back onto the ground and Erza delivered a blast of lightning too Dante knocking him away and sending the Demon Hunter where Alastor was, Erza started glowing as her Lightning Empress Armor changed to the Flame Empress Armor equipped with the armors sword and the Sword of the Wind God Armor.
Erza flew forward towards Dante who quickly picked up Alastor and swung the blade as Erza swung her swords causing them to lock, Erza pushed Dante back and began swinging her swords launching flames at Dante and used the Wind God Sword to make the flames intensify, Dante swung Alastor matching Erza’s strikes however he started losing ground as the flames became more and more intense.
“Enough!” Dante yelled as he swung Alastor around in a 360 degree angle creating a gust of winds that dispersed the flames, Erza stared at Dante as he sheathed Alastor onto his back and looked in her direction.
“Impressive trick but…” Dante said as he pulled out Agni & Rudra swinging the blades around as Agni emitted a stream of flames while Rudra emitted a gust of wind, Dante entered a combat stance with both of them much to the weapons joy.
“Two can play that game!” Dante declared.
“Yes! You are not the only one that can do something like that!” Agni said much to Erza’s surprise at the weapon talking however before Agni could say anything, Dante switched both weapons to a back hand grip and lightly banged the hilts of the swords together.
“No. talking.” Dante said and Agni didn’t respond instead remaining silent like Dante said.
“Good.” Dante said and immediately charged at Erza with both blades at the ready and Erza quickly raised her swords as Dante reached her swinging the blades at each other and matching attacks, Dante delivered a kick to Erza stomach causing her to stumble back from the attack.
Dante closed the distance and delivered a cross slash to Erza who was unable to block the attack and sent her crashing into a rock, Dante stabbed Agni into the ground and launched a line of fire towards Erza who quickly swung the Wind God Sword at the attack dispersing the flames.
Dante ran towards Erza and she raised her swords however much to her surprise, a shadow copy of Dante appeared next to him holding Agni & Rudra while the real Dante pulled out Alastor both of them charging at her with the weapons ready.
Dante dashed towards her thrusted Alastor forward however Erza side stepped and blocked the attack with her swords and pushed Dante to the side narrowly avoiding an attack from his shadow clone, the clone swung the twin swords launching a flurry of flames empowered by wind at Erza however she swung her Wind God Sword in a vertical swing dispersing the attack and she spun around narrowly blocking a strike from the real Dante with her sword.
Erza pushed Dante back and spun around creating a cyclone of flames around her and creating them more intense with the Wind God Sword causing both Dante and the Copy to leap back and both pulled their swords back ready to disperse the flames however the shadow copy was impaled by three swords causing it to disperse dropping Agni & Rudra, Dante swung Alastor knocking some swords that were launched his way however one of them flew past him and Dante stumbled back from the damage that he was somehow dealt.
(Cue Jungle Outpost - Round 1 (Equator Line 1st) - Tekken 7)
Dante looked towards where the blades came from and the flames surrounding Erza dispersed revealing that she was now wearing the Wingblade armor, the swords that Erza launched returned behind her and she put her armor forward launching her swords at Dante who quickly leapt into the air and manifested a sigil launching him further into the air however the swords followed after him.
Dante struck downward knocking some of the swords out of the way as he landed back on the ground however he quickly raised Alastor blocking strikes from the swords, Dante swung his sword in rapidly as the swords converged on him knocking some of the blades out of the way.
Dante pulled Alastor back and threw the sword at Erza who quickly had the swords form in front of her blocking the sword as it continued to spin and slash at her swords however it wasn’t getting past the swords, Dante reached behind him and pulled out Pandora holding the suitcase out as it shifted into a bowgun Form 013: Epidemic.
Dante aimed the bowgun at Erza and fired two rockets from the weapon while Erza finally knocked Alastor to the side and saw the rockets heading towards her prompting the Mage to launch two swords too intercept the missiles as they headed In her direction, the swords collided with the missiles cutting them in half causing them to explode.
Dante raised Pandora as it changed into form 422: Grief, Dante threw the large shuriken at Erza who had the swords move in front of her blocking the attack as it scraped against her swords and returned to Dante who quickly transformed it into Form: 124 Hatred placing the Bazooka onto his shoulder and aiming it at Erza and fired it over and over.
Erza looked at the missiles and quickly requipped as the missiles converged on her causing a massive explosion, Dante lowered his aim and saw the smoke created from the explosion and simply stared at it as the smoke started to clear.
The smoke cleared completely revealing Erza now wearing the Adamantine Armor with the shields that the armor came with held out in front of her, she separated the shields and the one in her right hand disappeared and was replaced with the De-Malevo-Lance while Dante placed Pandora onto the ground transforming it into form 262: Jealousy and aimed it at Erza.
The barrel started rotating and Dante began firing at Erza prompting her to move the shield in her left hand in front of her to block the bullets and she started moving forward while Dante continued to fire at her only for the bullets to be blocked by her shield, Erza started to run forward towards the Demon Hunter and upon reaching him thrusted her lance forward prompting Dante to quickly dodge it while transforming Pandora back in its Grief form.
Dante swung the shuriken at Erza who quickly blocked with her shield and thrusted her lance forward however Dante raised Grief and it scraped against the shuriken, Dante teleported back a couple of feet as he transformed Pandora into form 398: Revenge causing Erza’s eyes to widen in shock at the sight of the weapons change.
Revenge started charging up prompting Erza to requip back into the Adamantine Armor and put her shields together as a large blue seal to form in front of, Dante fired a large beam from the cannon and the blast hit the glyph only for it to block the attack however Dante didn’t let out and the beam continue firing trying to hit it’s mark.
Erza growled as she felt herself starting to be pushed back a bit however she didn’t let up and continued to defend against the attack until the beam stopped firing prompting her to requip into the Morning Star Armor, Dante quickly started charging Revenge up again however Erza put her swords together and aimed them towards Dante.
“Photon Slicer!” She yelled and fired a blast of energy at Dante who immediately fired Revenge once again launching another beam at Erza, both the attacks met and clashed causing sparks of electricity to erupt around them as the attacks tried to overpowered the other and the clash continue before Erza’s attack overpowered Dante’s and the blast headed straight for him much to his surprise.
The attack hit him consuming in a blast of energy and causing an explosion of energy, Erza put her swords down as nothing but smoke filled the area however the smoke was quickly blown away as a surge of red lightning appeared from it and the sound of someone yelling as it became deeper and more demonic.
(Cue Glamor: In Charm and Allure - Bayonetta 2)
Erza shielded her eyes from some of the smoke and when she looked forward her eyes widen at what she saw, Dante now looked more demonic and had red lightning surging around him …he was now in his Devil Trigger.
“So you truly are an Etherious?” Erza asked and Dante looked towards her and didn't answer instead quickly equipping the Gilgamesh gauntlets, he resumed his combat stance while Era requipped readied her swords to continue the fight.
Dante and Erza charged at each other and the moment they met, Erza swung her swords while Dante punched forward causing their attacks to clash and the ground beneath them to crack, Erza stumbled back as Dante quickly moved towards her deliver multiple punches that Erza quickly matched with swings of her sword however she started getting knocked back with each hit she countered.
Dante delivered a combination of punches and kicks to Erza that she was unable to dodge and he ended the combination by delivering a powerful punch to Erza’s stomach causing her to cough up blood and get sent crashing into a rock as destroying the Morningstar Armor, Dante walked towards Erza however he quickly raised his arms in front of him in a “x” guard as a blur dealing multiple slashes to him.
Erza appeared a couple of feet behind Dante now wearing the Flight Armor with two blades in both her hands, Dante lowered his arms and looked towards her quickly running at her with his arm pulled back then punching forward however in a another stream of light Erza was gone causing him to hit nothing but air while Erza appeared behind him slashing him across the back.
Dante spun around swinging his arm at her however once again Erza avoided the attack in a stream of light delivering another slash to Dante who stumbled forward and let out an aggravated growl as he looked at Erza as she ran directly at him.
“Sonic Claw!” Erza shouted and Dante was slashed in every single direction with Erza appearing behind him and she looked at her swords only to see that they had broken much to her surprise, she looked at Dante only to see the Demon now wearing some kind of armor like shell, the shell disappeared and Dante leapt into the air dive kicking towards Erza who quickly dashed backward avoiding the kick and the rocks that were launched her way from Dante hitting the ground.
Erza quickly changed into her Lightning Empress Armor and fired a blast of lightning at Dante who quickly teleported out of the way and reappeared with Nevan now equipped; Erza fired another blast of lightning at Dante who responded by putting his hands out and fired a blast of lightning of his own at Erza’s attacking cause them to clash and the attacks to move back and forth as they tried to overpower the other.
Both their attacks canceled the other out and Dante fired another blasts of electricity at Erza who raised her spear and blocked the attack, Dane continued firing at blasts of lightning at Erza who continued to block the attack however Dante started moving forward as he continued shooting lightning and Erza swung her spear breaking the attack and dashing forward towards Dante thrusting the spear forward impaling Dante threw the chest.
Erza’s spear fired electricity and started electrocuting Dante causing the Demon to shout in agony and grabbed the weapon forcefully pulling it out and delivering a kick to Erza’s stomach sending her stumbling back and Dante pulled out Nevan transforming the weapon into its Scythe form and swung it at Erza who blocked the attack and was sent back.
“Come on! Is that the best you got?” Dante taunted and Erza fired a blast of Lightning at Dante who swung Nevan forward blocking the attack and creating surges of lightning from the attacks before finally breaking through the attack however he was immediately met with Erza now wearing the Giant Armor delivering a powerful punch to him sending him flying and cause the ground to crack from the force of the blow.
Erza quickly requpped into the Black Wing Armor and flew after Dante and upon reaching the still flying Demon, she quickly requipped back into the Giant Armor and delivered another punch launching him forward even further and she switched back to the Black Wing Armor and flew after him again and switched back into the Giant Armor and delivered another punch to him launching him even further.
Erza switched back into the Black Wing Armor and flew after Dante too which upon reaching him quickly grabbed the Demon by his head and slammed him onto the ground, violently dragging him along the ground as she flew before requipping into the Giant Armor again and with as much as power as she could threw the Demon at a wall of a mountain sending him crashing into it.
Erza summoned a sword into her hands and flew at Dante however in a red blur, Dante was now a couple of feet behind her with a scabbard in one hand and a katana in the other and sheathed the blade only for Erza’s Black Wing Armor to break much to her shock.
Dante turned to face Erza and put his hand on the hilt of Yamato and charged at Erza who quickly requipped into her Adamantine Armor and raised her shield in front of her, Dante swung the Yamato twice and sheathed it causing the shield to break much to Erza’s surprise and before she could react, Dante swung the blade at a blinding speed as multiple pillars of light appear around Erza and upon sheathing the blade broke slashing Erza and destroying the Adamantine Armor. Erza fell to her knees and Dante turned his back towards her and be gan walking away however he stopped when he heard something and turned around to see Erza glaring at him.
“I will not…SURRNEDER!” Erza shouted as she took a step forward and Dante simply resume his combat stance and grabbed the hilt of Yamato quickly unsheathing the blade and swinging it at Erza launching a shockwave at her however Erza didn’t try to dodge instead a light began surrounding her as the shockwave hit and connected causing an explosion of light and Dante sheathed Yamato back into its scabbard.
(Cue Scarlet Warrioress - Fairy Tail)
into its scabbard. Dante looked forward only to see dust filling the area however the dust was dispersed as a light erupted and Dante looked to see Erza now wearing the Nakagami Armor.
Dante unsheathed Yamato again and swung it launching another shockwave at Erza who raised her Halberd and swung it on the shockwave breaking through the attack much to Dante’s surprise prompting him to swing the Yamato again this time creating multiple pillars of light around Erza and immediately break as Dante sheathed to katana into its scabbard however it still had no effect.
“It’s useless, your sword won’t work against the Nakagami armor!” Erza declared and pulled the Halberd back and Dante quickly unsheathed the Yamato and dashed forward towards Erza.
“Nakagami…STARLIGHT!” Erza shouted as she swung the halberd at Dante who met the attack by swinging the Yamato causing their attacks to clash, Dante tried to push forward but he found himself unable and instead started getting pushed back.
Dante heard something cracking and he looked at Yamato and before he could even react, the blade snapped in half and Erza delivered a powerful slash to Dante’s chest drawing blood and knocking him into away, Erza quickly requipped to the WingBlade Armor and thrusted her hand forward as the swords behind her were launched forward at Dante.
“This ends now!” Erza declared as the swords converged on Dante and before the Demon could react, one of the swords impaled him all over his body causing blood to splatter and before Dante could even respond, the last sword finally came and hit him directly in his chest causing Dante to cough up blood as he fell back down onto the ground.
Erza fell to her knees and let out a heavy sigh of exhaustion, she looked over at her opponent and closed her eyes.
“What kind of Etheroius were you?” She asked herself.
“Impressive but is that all you had?” Dante asked and Erza opened her eyes in shock and look in Dante’s direction to see him standing with the swords still impaled through his body.
(Cue d.m.c - Devil May Cry: The Animated Series)
Dante moved his arms and the swords started breaking and fell out of him much to Erza’s shock however she shook her head and stood up again she began glowing as she requipped in the Armadura Fairy Armor.
“I don’t know what kind of Etheroius you are…but I cannot let you reach Magnolia!” Erza said as she pointed her sword at Dante as green lightning began surging around her prompting Dante to put his hand out as if he were calling something.
“I CANNOT LET YOU REACH E.N.D!” Erza roared as the green lightning intensified and she charged forward at Dante who kept his hand out as the Rebellion flew into it, he pulled his arm back and thrusted forward to meet Erza’s attack leaving a red stream of light behind him as he did so.
Dante moved his arms and the swords started breaking and fell out of him much to Erza’s shock however she shook her head and stood up again she began glowing as she requipped in the Armadura Fairy Armor.
Both Dante and Erza reached each other and their attacks clashed causing the ground beneath to begin breaking away as they tried to overpower the other’s attack as well as causing red and green surges of lightning to spark around them.
“Grrrrrr!” Dante and Erza growled as their attacks continued to clash and tried to overpower the other but to no avail, both Dante and Erza let out a yell as their attacks continued to clash causing the ground beneath them to break away even further as their surges of lightning their attacks were emitting intensified.
Dante and Erza didn’t let up and continued trying to overpower the other and before either of them knew their attacks caused an explosion destroy most of the area they were in and causing the ground to shake in the process.
(Music Stops)
Meanwhile
In another area of the forest far from the fight that was taking place with Dante and Erza, a man with black hair and a black coat with red cloud patterns was walking through the forest until much to his surprise the ground started shaking.
“What in… an earthquake?” He said and looked up only to see a giant mushroom cloud far in the distance much to his curiosity.
The man didn’t say anything but instead began moving towards the mushroom cloud, curious on what could have caused something like that.
The dust cleared revealing Dante and Erza both lying on the ground battered and bloodied, Dante stirred and slowly sat up looking around and noticing the destruction that the explosion had caused, Dante let out a groan and slowly stood and soon realized that he was now out of his Devil Trigger.
“Huh…that’s a new one.” Dante said and looked down seeing the Rebellion and picking the blade up and placing it on his back, he walked over towards Erza who was still lying on the ground and in her now destroyed Armadura Fairy Armor.
Dante let out a sigh as he shook his head.
“How come I never meet any-“ Dante was cut as he felt a sword slash him across the chest and his eyes widened as he saw Erza standing back up with the sword in her hand, Dante leapt back putting space between him and Erza as he drew the Rebellion and she began changing into a new armor.
(Cue Encounter of Destiny - Megadimension Neptunia VII)
Erza was now in her Clear Heart Clothing Armor and was now wielding two katana’s in her hands and pointed one of them at Dante who rested the Rebellion against his shoulder as he let out another sigh.
“You’re certainly something else babe.” Dante said and Erza didn’t respond but instead simply glared at Dante even ignoring the blood dripping down the side of her face, Dante took her silence as a sign that talking was pointless and he moved the Rebellion from his shoulder and pointed it at Erza.
“Alright then…let’s start the party!” Dante said as Erza dashed towards him with both her swords and ready swinging them however Dante blocked them with the Rebellion causing their blades to lock, Dante broke the lock and began swinging Rebellion that Erza matched with swings off her own, Erza leapt back and Dante swung the Rebellion launching a shockwave at Erza who quickly swung her swords at the attacking breaking through it in the process.
Dante dashed forward with Rebellion and thrusted the sword forward prompting Erza to raise her swords in “X” shaped guard to block the attack and while she was successful in defending against the attack however her swords broke in the process and she was knocked back as a result and slid along the ground before coming to a stop.
Erza slammed her hand on the ground and a sigil appeared only for Erza to pull a large sword out of it and charged at Dante with the sword pulled back and immediately swung it prompting Dante to step to the side narrowly avoiding the attack and raised the Rebellion as Erza swung her sword again causing the blade’s to create sparks as they clashed, Erza quickly put her free hand out as another sigil appeared and Erza pulled out another large sword and immediately swung the blade at Dante who quickly blocked it using the Rebellion only to be knocked back by the attack.
Erza closed the distance swinging both swords at Dante as fast as the weapons weights enabled her to forcing Dante to defend each attack as best as could, Erza delivered an “x” shaped strike that knocked Dante’s Rebellion out of his hand and Erza pulled one of her swords back and thrusted it forward towards Dante who simply smirked and snapped his fingers causing a silver hue to overtake everything and causing Erza to begin slowing down as he activated the Quicksilver style.
Dante looked around and chuckled a bit before looking back at Erza who was still moving slowly.
“Haven’t used this style in a while.” Dante said as he quickly dashed behind Erza and delivered a swift spin kick to Erza’s back as he deactivated the Quicksilver style and everything returned to normal and Erza fell forward onto the ground while Dante caught the Rebellion as it fell from the sky.
Erza quickly stood up swinging her swords however Dante blocked them with his Rebellion causing their blades to lock creating sparks as the blades began biting into each other, Dante pushed forward and started pushing Erza back in the process before breaking the clash and delivering a swift kick to Erza knocking her back however Erza quickly swung her sword at Dante who narrowly blocked the attack with his Rebellion.
Dante switched the Rebellion to a backhand grip and pulled the rebellion back as the blade started glow red and Dante swung it repeatedly launching one shockwave after another at Erza, Erza swung her swords at each one breaking through them and dodged the ones that she couldn’t try and hit, Erza raised her swords in a “x” shaped guard as the remaining shockwaves reached her and she managed to defend against them but her swords were knocked out of her hands.
Dante pulled the Rebellion back and thrusted forward towards Erza and dashed past her slashing her in the process, Dante immediately turned around and dashed past her again and again before coming to a stop and pulled the rebellion back one more time.
“Devil. Must. Die!” Dante shouted as he dashed forward Impaling Erza with the Rebellion who coughed up blood in response, The Rebellion began glowing red with red sparks of electricity and Dante fired a red beam of light from the blade launching Erza off it and sending her crashing into a tree as a sigil appeared upon making impact.
Erza put her hand on where Dante had impaled her and brought it into her line of sight to see her own blood on her hands, she looked towards Dante as rain started falling and Erza clenched her fist as she glared at Dante in anger and summoned the Demon Blade Crimson Sakura and dashed forward at Dante swinging the blade.
Erza slashed Dante across the chest drawing blood and causing Dante to stumble back and he quickly swung the Rebellion at Erza who swung her sword in response and matched the attack, Erza swung her sword at Dante’s legs who in response leapt over the attack however Erza spun around delivering a spin kick to the Demon Hunter and knocking him away.
Dante slid on his back and came to a stop only to look up and see Erza descending towards him and thrusting her sword downward however Dante quickly rolled to the side causing Erza to stab her sword into the ground, Dante stood up and swung at Erza however dodged it and pulled her sword out of the ground swinging it at Dante who blocked the strike with the Rebellion.
Dante and Erza swung their swords at each other as fast as they could however each of their strikes clashed with each other and Dante and Erza began swinging their swords’ to the point where they were cutting the raindrops that were falling around them (Sounds familiar don’t it?).
Dante and Erza swung their swords one final time only for their blades to lock with each other, both of them glared at each other as the spot where their blades were connected began turning a bright orange and emitting small sparks before breaking the clash and with as much strength as the other could muster pushed the other back a couple of feat.
Erza glared in Dante’s direction and switched Demon Blade Crimson Sakura to a two hand grip and held it to her side as the blade became engulfed with a purplish aura while Dante readied the Rebellion for what would seem to be the final strike.
“I won’t surrender! I WILL NOT LET YOU REACH E.N.D!” Erza roared as she dashed forward with Demon Blade Crimson Sakura pulled back and still engulfed in the purple aura while Dante dashed forward as well pulling the Rebellion back for what was about to come.
Both Dante and Erza let out a one final yell as they reached each other and swung their swords with as much strength as the other could possibly use and their attacks connected and they dashed past each other leaving nothing but their backs facing each other, Dante and Erza did not say anything or dare move as they remained silent and the only thing heard was the heavy rain falling.
Dante grunted as some blood shot of from his side causing him to stab the Rebellion into the ground and fall to his knees, he coughed up blood however after a moment he slowly stood and looked towards Erza who still kept her back facing him and before Dante knew it…Erza let go of Demon Blade Crimson Sakura and did nothing to catch the blade as it fell.
When the blade hit the ground as if on cue blood shot out of Erza’s side and she fell backwards onto the ground with an audible “Thud”. Dante walked towards the downed Mage and stopped at her side before looking down at her and simply looked up at the cloud as it continued to rain.
(Music Fades out)
“All of this because of some demon named E.N.D…” He said before looking down at Erza and began walking away from her.
Erza didn’t bother trying to move and simply looked up at the sky as it continued to rain, her vision started to darken and she tried to move but she found herself unable to move and could simply tilt her head in Dante’s direction as she watched the Demon Hunter walk off before everything went pitched black.
Announcer: K.O!
Elsewhere
Two hooded figures were seen walking ahead of them were five other hooded figures however and the two in the back continued to walk until the last one came to a sudden stop and looked behind them causing the rest of the figure in front of him to stop as well and look back at their friend.
“What’s wrong?” A female voice asked and the person didn’t answer and continued looking back in the direction that they had came only for a gust of wind to blow towards them and knock the figures hood off revealing a man with blue hair and strange marking on his face.
“I feel like someone just stepped on my grave…” He said before suddenly running back in the direction that he had come from much to all of their shock.
“Jellal! Where are you going?!” The female voice yelled however Jellal did not listen and continued running.
To Be Continued…
Conclusion[]
(Cue Devils Never Cry (Remix) - Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite)
Ghost: Crap! They’re going to be so pissed...
Ruby: Who? Hala and Rhidori?
Ghost: Yeah, they’re gonna be so mad about this…
Camilla: Worst they’ll do is destroy your mind, best they’ll do is make you think you’re a dove.
Ruby: Anyway this fight was honestly among or closests Death Battles to date as both Dante and Erza had several means of matching each other via their own physicality, arsenal, abilities, skills, and experience which made this matchup that much more difficult to call so let’s start with their skill and arsenal.
Ghost: In terms of their Swordsmanship; Dante and Erza were were roughly equals when it came to their skill with the blade with both having shown practically near mastery when it came to their use of the blades and having shown on numerous occasions that they are capable of fighting and defeating opponents who have shown far more skill in the art of Swordsmanship than themselves however Erza edged out having shown to be capable of fighting in a lot more unorthodox way than Dante has shown with his swords.
Ruby: I mean… She’s not pulling a Roronoa Zoro and holding a sword in her mouth however being capable of wielding swords with just her feet as well as being capable of wielding numerous types of blades in conjunction with each other which is something that Dante has never encountered with considering the numerous types of blades that Erza is capable of summoning and using in combat with that kind of unorthodox method and the sheer unpredictability of it is something that Dante has never really seen before.
Camilla: In terms of Weaponry; Dante and Erza were could counter a large portion of the others weaponry in a variety of surprising ways with Erza being capable of countering a large portal of Dante’s Elemental Weapons and was even in possession of Armors that could counter some of Dante’s more lethal and powerful weaponry such as the Yamato.
Ruby: However Dante also possessed weapons that Erza had no way of countering like Rebellion, Lucifer, Gilgamesh, Beowulf, Artemis, Nightmare-β, and especially Pandora which was far beyond any kind of weapon that Erza has ever used, seen, or fought against as well as that the fact that Erza unfortunately isn’t as versatile as Dante is when it came to how they utilize their weaponry.
Ghost: While Erza could switch between her Armors are at an incredible speed and could even utilize the weaponry from her other Armors in the one that she currently has equipped to enable her to mix and match their abilities however Dante is capable of switching between his Devil Arms and Guns instantaneously enabling him to utilize them in a variety of different ways which enables him a far more versatile and unpredictable approach than anything Erza was capable of doing with her armors.
Ruby: And if you take into account the sheer amount of abilities and moves that just a single Devil Arm that Dante wields into account and when you apply the Styles that Dante is capable of utilizing , Dante is in possession of far more options of attacking and unpredictability that Erza displayed with the use of her armors.
Camilla: In Physical Strength; While Erza has displayed impressive feats of Strength being capable of cutting through Metals with just the air pressure of her Sword swings and is capable of lifting various objects much larger than herself and she could further augment her strength with the Giant Armor however despite these displays of strength it was unfortunately outclassed as Dante has displayed much greater feats of strength
Ruby: Dante has shown to be capable of matching demons that are much larger than himself and even overpower them in pure strength on numerous occasions, swing Rebellion hard enough to cause an explosion, effortlessly cuts through a large metal dice, pry the mouth of Echidna open from the inside, and hold back a demon much larger than himself using the Rebellion with only one hand.
Ghost: However his greatest display of strength was blocking a punch from the Savior and pushing the strike from the Savior back which based on the size of the Savior, it weighs much more than anything than any displays of lifting strength that Erza has displayed before.
Ruby: And too take it even further, Dante had methods of amplifying his strength in a similar fashion to Erza and this was through his Gauntlet & Greaves based weaponry such as Beowulf, Gilgamesh, and Ifrit which increases the strength behind Dante’s blows further increasing his strength past anything Erza is capable of.
(Cue Now You've Really Crossed The Line (Battle 2) - Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening)
Camilla: In terms of speed; Both Dante and Erza were roughly equals as both have kept shown to be capable of moving Faster than The Eye, Both have reacted to Lightning and kept up with opponents who are just as Fast as Lightning, and both have faced opponents capable of moving at incredible speeds such as Vergil and Jellal Fernandes.
Ruby: What’s more is that both Dante and Erza had methods of increasing their own speed courtesy of the Trickster Style and Flight further enhancing their speeds making it rather difficult for either of them to properly gain an edge over the other in speed.
Ghost: In terms of Durability; Both combatants have survived injuries and attacks and have continued to fight however Dante possessed far more impressive durability than Erza having survived injuries that would’ve killed a normal human being and coupled with his Healing Factor, it has enabled him to withstand and recover from various types of attacks that should’ve killed him.
Ruby: Dante has survived being slammed around by Demons much larger than himself, has survived getting shot and even shot point-blank in the head, survived being electrocuted, casually survived being burned by Hellfire, violently beaten down by Nero, being cut by several opponents, and survived numerous instances of being impaled only to recover incredibly quickly courtesy of his Healing Factor.
Camilla: Like the time when Dante was impaled by Alastor, Dante was impaled by the blade and pinned to the ground however he was perfectly fine and not only that but he more or less got up causing Alastor to go completely through him and then proceeded to pick the blade up and considering that the blade went through Dante’s chest with the Hilt included… a majority of Dante’s Vital Organs and especially his heart should’ve been damaged but was perfectly fine.
Ruby: Furthermore Dante’s Brother; Vergil was capable of completely healing from being cut in half by Dante and he was healing from the attack as it was happening and considering Dante and Vergil both possess similar and almost identical demonic abilities to each other such as their healing then it’s reasonable to assume that Dante could heal from an attack like that as well.
Ghost: Erza was certainly an incredibly durable fighter in her own right however it has been shown that Erza’s durability has its limits as shown near the end of her fight with Irene Belserion who in her Dragon Form struck Erza hard enough to break both her legs and her left arm whereas Dante could be hit by Demon’s of similar or slightly larger stature and get up as if nothing had happened in some instances.
Ruby: Dante’s Style’s also gave Dante numerous methods of further increasing his combat prowess and abilities such as Swordmaster enabling Dante to utilize different types of attacks with his Devil Arms, Gunslinger offering Dante multiple methods of attack with his Firearms, further increase his defenses and durability with Royal Guard, Enabling him better options of evading and increasing his speed, Darkslayer offering Dante more options of attack with Yamato, Doppelganger enabling Dante to create a copy of himself to further enhance his unpredictability and even tag team Erza, and Quicksilver enabling to slow down time and avoid Erza’s attacks.
Camilla: What’s more is that just like his weaponry, Dante was also capable of switching between his Styles instantaneously offering him a large versatility and variety advantage that Erza unfortunately didn’t have any means of matching.
Ruby: However this brings us to the important question of Dante’s Healing Factor and Erza’s Magical Power as both of them have shown on multiple occasions that both of these have rather clear limits with Dante’s Healing Factor having been shown to be slowed down over the course of a fight when facing against an opponent equal to him while Erza’s Magical power can be depleted over the course of a fight as a result of requipping between her Armors.
Ghost: Unfortunately for Erza though; her Magical Power was much more likely to be depleted than Dante’s Healing Factor is too be worn down.
(Cue Lock and Load - Devil May Cry 4)
Ghost: Keep in mind that each time that Erza requips to a different Armor with the process consuming Magical Energy and against someone like Dante, Erza would be switching between her Armor’s much more frequently and as a result of this would burn through her Magical Power at a much rapid rate in order to match a majority of Dante’s Arsenal and Abilities whereas Dante could utilize Trickster, Royal Guard, and Quicksilver to avoid or defend against a majority of Erza’s attacks which wouldn’t result in his Healing Factor to be worn down.
Ruby: What’s more is that even Erza’s Biggest Advantage and Trump Card; The Nakagami Armor while granting Erza a large amount of Power, it still consumes a large amount of Erza’s Magical Energy which while the power increase it gives her is certainly a good trade off but it’s a double edged sword especially in a fight like this.
Camilla: And unfortunately for Erza; Once Dante’s Devil Trigger was activated, all of his abilities such as Speed, Strength, Healing, Durability, and sheer Power are greatly enhanced with Erza being unable to match the sheer power increase that Dante’s Devil Trigger offers even with the Nakagami Armor.
Ruby: But in the end it was made pretty clear how this would go.
Ghost: Erza was an incredible fighter and definitely a powerful and skilled combatant however with Dante’s superior Strength, Durability, Versatility, Unpredictability, Arsenal, Abilities, and with his Devil Trigger greatly increasing his power and abilities; it was only a matter of time before this fight reached its conclusion.
Camilla: Poor Titania looks like she just could find the rebellion she needed in order to slay this Demon Hunter.
Ruby: That joke was bad…
Camilla: I know I ran out of ideas... O_O
Ghost: (Sighs) The Winner is Dante.
