Dante held off the monsters that were attacking his beloved city. He swung his axe quickly and killed the monsters. Dante began to grow overwhelmed as more of them came into the city. Dante ran through a gate into the courtyard. He let his guard down to rest but before he knew it someone had stabbed him in the back. He felt a sharp stinging pain in his back as he dropped to his knees. He saw his life flash before his eyes and he knew what was happening, he was dying. After seeing his life flash before his eyes he saw a dark shadow form in front of him. He already knew who it was, but he wasn't going down without a fight.
Death smiled at Dante as he sat there in pain. "Dante, your fate has been decided, eternal damnation in hell for your past sins!" Death said as he pointed his scythe at him. Dante began to stand up weakly "I don't deserve hell, I deserve to be with my true savior" Dante said as he felt the power of God surge through him. He pulled the dagger out of his back and grabbed his axe "what are you doing?" Death asked "i'm not going down without a fight" Dante said as he readied his sword. Death laughed and readied his scythe "i'm Death you fool! You can't kill me!" Death yelled. Dante chuckled "we'll see about that" Dante muttered under his breath.
Death charged at Dante and swung his scythe at him. Dante blocked it and swung disappeared and reappeared behind Dante. "You can't win Dante! Accept your fate!" Death yelled. Death threw his scythe at Dante and Dante did something unexpected. Dante dropped his weapon and right before the scythe cut through his body Dante grabbed the hilt and got into a battle stance, he had grabbed Death's Scythe and it was now his. "How? Your no regular mortal…" Death said as he cowered. Dante walked slowly up to Death as Death held his hands in the air in defeat "no...please! Show mercy!" Death cried. Dante held the Scythe in the air and cut Death into two pieces. Death's body shrivelled away into dust and blew away. Dante let his guard down once more and looked at his newly acquired weapon, it held a dark power but Dante controlled it. Dante began to walk away when he heard footsteps behind him "I think you have something that belongs to me…" someone said. Dante turned around to reveal a man in a skull mask and a black robe holding two shotguns "this Scythe is mine, I killed Death himself to acquire it, who are you?" Dante asked "Reaper… Now hand over the weapon and i'll let you live" Reaper told him. Dante got into a battle stance with the Scythe "you're going to have to take it from me" Dante told Reaper "gladly…" Reaper said sinisterly
Reaper began shooting at Dante but Dante blocked the bullets with the Scythe. Reaper disappeared. Dante looked around frantically "from the shadows…" Reaper muttered quietly as he reappeared behind Dante. Dante had a feeling and swung his Scythe behind him striking Reaper and sending him flying. Reaper laid on the ground bleeding. Dante ran over to him "you're bleeding! We need to get you help!" Dante yelled. Reaper laughed and aimed his shotgun at Dante's face and pulled the trigger, killing Dante instantly. Reapers fake wound recovered as he grabbed the Scythe "I am now… Death" Reaper said as he disappeared into the night.
Dante woke up in a grassy field with a ghostly field "Virgil…" Dante said to the figure "I am here to guide you to Heaven, and recover what's rightly yours" Virgil told him. Dante wore a cocky smirk "here I come Reaper...be prepared."
