Featuring Dante from Devil May Cry

"Ah, sure, I guess." I hesitated, unsure of whether this copy was out to kill me or the encounter was simply happenstance.

"Great, you owe me a pizza for this by the way." She added before entering a pose and tanking a full megido blast without flinching. Hold on.

Analyze

A stat sheet appeared within my field of view immediately, giving me numbers and a corresponding feat to give it context. But something was off about this. A tiny portion of text that could be considered downright cheating.

Void: All

Something tick in my head, even if the phenomenon lasted for a mere second, it was enough to make my head ache. With that one word, she could take some of the strongest attacks this world had to offer without so much as a scratch, the only thing that could possibly take the cake would be the pierce skills from the fourth game. Though I only heard of them in passing.

After doing Patrick's cousin dirty with that move, the white-haired woman then plunged her sword straight into the demon's eye, killing him in one fell swoop. All that progress only for it to be downplayed by a fake, this is just sad. "So, who are you supposed to be? I know it may be the apocalypse, but not many people can survive reality caving in on itself. Kinda begs the question, are you a monster wearing human flesh? Or a time-gated sociopath who had to repeat everything up infinitely?" I aired my thoughts out like a dirty mattress for all to see, except it had us both thinking of an answer.

"Oh why so serious? We just recently met and you are already asking such personal questions. At least ask me out for dinner first." The copycat jested, showing off a wide grin as she propped the sword on her shoulder.

An idea came to mind as those specific words entered my ears. "So you're telling me, that I just have to take you out for pizza for you to answer any inquiry that decides to rear its ugly head?" A hint of child-like excitement following what I said.

"Can't reveal trade secrets though. Wait, I almost forgot, could you maybe add some sushi on that list, or maybe some of the local delicacies. It's only right after vacationing in Japan after all." She added. Because of course, she had to be eerily close to Dante, backstory has to match up after all.

"Whatever, let's help out my friends first before all of that. Things might have gone sideways on their end." I declared, sprouting a tentacle from my hand to latch onto the inside to let me down while female Dante simply jumped from the roof.

The battle looked to be going well. Though they lacked the debuffs to cripple Forneus' offense and defense, Simurgh's future sight and telekinetic barriers block most of his attacks before they could get hit. So with the combined power of magic, almighty physical strikes, and a large-scale version of rakunda on my part, they were able to swiftly take it down.

"Zio! Zio! Zio!" Yuko muttered to herself, her mind completely blank from exhaustion.

"Hey, kid, these friends of yours… You sure they ain't got a couple of screws loose?" The walking gender-bend asked.

"Um, miss? Who are you? Better yet, how are you still alive? I know the hospital may be a large area and there could have been a portion that we didn't visit, but, where could you have been possibly kept for you to live through the conception." Chiaki decided to ask the question on everyone's slowly deteriorating mind, who was the mysterious savior.

"Oh right, silly of me to forget. I am Dante, resident demon hunter for the Devil May Cry Agency. I was hired on a mission to find a certain someone, though your little friend here owes me some stuff after saving him so I will be tagging along for a bit if you don't mind." She introduced herself to our crew, with the others having varied reactions based on her introduction.

To my surprise though, Luxinia was the most expressive out of the bunch, holding a face that crept with fear upon hearing the name. Save to say that the spawn of Sparda was on record scratch's list of people to look out for.

"Is there something or wrong with my face or am I just that beautiful?" Dante joked, her tone half-serious.

Quick Sora, before a fight breaks out. "No, none at all. Everyone just seems to be tired from the fighting, that's it. Let me just collect the content of the item box over there, and I'll transport you to our base. There, I can prepare any dish that you so desire."

"Fine, fine. But it better be the best damn food if you're making go through there." I quickly nodded to her words while opening up a portal to the manor.

After she finished walking in, Pixie was the first to speak up. "What was that about? She looks so cool! Love her style."

'Entity: Dante.../ Error has been found…/ Timeline changing…/ New variable added…/Major rift in space-time has been acknowledged.' Zizzy notified us, a deep feeling of loss rippling through my body as my mind tried to comprehend those words.

Someone or something was messing with the world, it could be me, or any number of ROB that decides to take interest in the world. Shit. Looks like my vacation plans did have to be cut short after all.

Putting aside those details though, I hovered my hand over the collection of ever-changing squares hovering over the floor. It split in half then move away from the other half, revealing a floating magatama inside. "Alright, in with everyone else. We can continue later once all of you are less tired. And when you are properly rested, there will be a hot meal waiting for you in the dining room. Simurgh, if you could please send the map to their heads, that would be nice." I ordered, to which they followed like loyal subjects, with pixie being a sort of outlier since I haven't marked her with the should yet.

Looks like I'll have to spend a little bit more on this next task.
