Dante and Lady charged headfirst into the swarm of demons, their movements perfectly in sync, like two parts of a finely tuned machine.

Dante swung Rebellion with a fluid grace, cleaving through the first wave of demons like a storm cutting through trees.

Dante: Man, they just keep getting uglier! You'd think hell would have a beauty salon or something.

Lady fired off round after round, her pistols spitting silver bullets into the horde with deadly precision.

Lady: Yeah, but then we'd be out of a job. Besides, ugly works for them—it makes me hate them more.

She leaped into the air, launching a grenade from Kalina Ann that exploded in a fiery blast, scattering demons in all directions.

Lady:How many of these things are there?!"

Dante: Enough to make it a party!

He executed a stylish flip, landing on the back of a larger demon before jamming Rebellion into its skull. With a twist of the blade, the beast collapsed beneath him. Dante grinned as he looked over at Lady.

Dante: Bet I can clear more than you!

Lady scoffed, dodging a claw swipe from a nearby demon before delivering a devastating kick to its head.

Lady: Oh, please. You couldn't even keep count last time!

The two of them worked through the demonic horde like seasoned pros, their banter never faltering despite the chaos around them. Lady kept her distance, mowing down enemies with her firearms and precise explosive shots, while Dante got up close and personal, slashing and spinning through the crowd with effortless flair.

But then, as the last of the demons fell, the ground beneath them began to rumble.

Lady: Uh, Dante? Tell me that's just the aftershock of your ego.

The ground split apart, and a massive, hulking demon emerged, twice the size of anything they'd faced that day. Its horns curved like jagged spikes, and its glowing eyes burned with fury

Dante: Oh, come on! Didn't we just clear out all the trash?

The beast roared, shaking the air around them.

Lady: Guess we missed one. Or this guy's late to the party.

Dante rested Rebellion on his shoulder, smirking.

Dante: "Big guy like that? He's the main course. Shall we?

Lady adjusted her grip on Kalina Ann, giving Dante a sly smile.

Lady: Let's make this quick. I'm starving.

The two charged the massive demon together, ready to take it down with everything they had. Dante darted left, drawing its attention with flashy, taunting strikes, while Lady circled around, lining up her shot with surgical precision.

The battle was on.

Dante rushes in

Dante: Sorry big guy, but we don't have anytime to waste, so as a reward for lasting os long against us, I'll show you a glimpse of what I can really do!

Dante then transforms and now uses his devil trigger, he goes even faster and then with one slash from rebellion, the gigantic beast is torn in half, the demon hunter then twirls rebellion around and puts the sword in his sheath

Dante: jackpot

The beast falls to the ground and dissolves as Dante falls out of his transformation

Lady: aww..this time you took all the fun

Dante: well that's what you get for destroying them all last time

Lady: but I thought I already paid you back

Dante: I guess so, but we need to keep going so I needed to take care of that guy

Lady: fair enough, alright let's go and find that masked man

Dante nods they both quickly run back to the van, they put their weapons down and keep driving

That's when Dante senses a huge amount of Demonic power

Dante: Hey lady! Take the wheel

Lady reacts quickly as Dante swings out of the window onto the roof and blocks an attack, low and behold it's the masked man

Dante: (Tch no rebellion, guess the old fashioned way)

The two then begin huge fist fight on top of the roof of a moving van

The van sped down the highway, the roar of its engine drowned out by the sound of fists colliding with bone and the wind howling past. Dante and the masked man exchanged powerful blows, each hit causing the van to rock slightly from the sheer force.

Dante dodged a punch aimed for his jaw and countered with an uppercut to the masked man's stomach, causing him to stagger back.

Dante: Man, you're really persistent! Can't we settle this with a coffee or something? No? Alright, then!

The masked man lunged forward, landing a powerful punch to Dante's ribs that forced him to skid back across the roof. Dante gritted his teeth and steadied himself, his devilish smirk never faltering.

Inside the van, Lady was gripping the wheel tightly, her eyes darting between the road and the fight above.

Lady: Dante, if you scratch the roof, you're paying for the repairs!

Dante shouted back while dodging another blow.

Dante: Yeah, yeah! Just keep us steady, babe!

The masked man spun around, delivering a kick aimed at Dante's head. Dante ducked just in time, grabbed the man's leg, and flipped him over, slamming him onto the roof.

Dante: What's the matter, buddy? Not used to someone hitting back?

The masked man growled and kipped back up, throwing a series of punches at Dante with incredible speed. Dante parried them with ease, using his reflexes to anticipate each move.

As the two continued their brutal fistfight, the masked man suddenly charged up a glowing punch with demonic energy, aiming it straight for Dante's chest. Dante barely had time to react, crossing his arms to block the attack. The impact sent him sliding across the roof, nearly tumbling off the edge.

Lady: Dante! You good up there?

Dante: Peachy, babe! Just having a little rooftop workout!

The masked man didn't give Dante a chance to breathe, rushing toward him again. Dante smirked and leaned backward, letting himself fall off the edge of the roof. The masked man paused, confused, but Dante reappeared moments later, swinging up from the side of the van and landing a devastating kick to his back.

Dante: "Surprise

The masked man stumbled forward but quickly recovered, his demonic aura intensifying. Dante raised an eyebrow.

Dante: Oh, you're getting serious now? Alright, time to kick it up a notch.

Dante cracked his knuckles and surged forward, his movements faster and more precise. The fight escalated as both combatants exchanged brutal blows, each one shaking the van.

Lady growled in frustration, swerving to avoid a pothole.

Lady: You two better wrap this up before you wreck the van, or I'll kill both of you myself!

Dante laughed mid-fight, sidestepping another punch.

Dante: "Relax, babe! I've got this under control!"

Then Dante swung and as luck would have it, he struck the mask full on and felt a satisfying crack as the pieces fell away and there was a burst of demonic energy as lady slams on the brakes, the man falls back and Dante finally sees his face and his eyes widen

Dante: ..Vergil

And that's a wrap, that was fun
