Once again, we encountered a massive threat so devastating it required all the same people who were present for the last major fight before I told the tale of the Sainoverse. This time, however, instead of fighting alongside my friends from the time patrol, I felt a strange notion to fight alongside Dante. We truly do make a great team, covering each other's weaknesses and helping to further improve each other's strengths. "Pretty sure I've got the bigger body count so far, Dante." I said as we stood back to back, firing at all angles and loading up any demon unfortunate enough to be in our line of sight with bullets.
"Then I think it's time to kick it up a notch!" He said, activating his Devil Trigger and using Stinger to charge through several enemies, easily shattering a number of the demons.
Finally, we managed to defeat the threats and all reconvened, taking a break on some nearby rubble. "Ahh, just like the good old days, eh, partner?" I said, nudging Dante with my elbow.
He chuckled at this. "Yeah, were those before or after you almost blew up the city?" He asked.
"Hey, I limited it to the tower, with how much power I put out, it's amazing I limited it to that much, I should've taken out at least a city block." I said.
Ruby had stars in her eyes at this. "Ooh! Is it story time again?! Is this where you got your trench coat?" She asked.
"Yes, indeed it was, Ruby. But before this legend can be told, there's another legend you must know." I said.
"What legend?!" Team RWBY asked together, eagerly sitting in front of me like kids at story time.
Lady stepped up this time. "You've heard of it, haven't you? The legend of Sparda?" She asked.
"No." Everyone except her, Dante and my family said. Even Draco, Nicolas and Damion didn't and they're GOOD friends with Dante.
"For real?" I said, deadpanning.
Lady rolled her eyes, but continued the story. "When I was young, my father would tell me stories about it. Long ago, in ancient times, a demon rebelled against his own kind for the sake of the human race. With his sword, he sealed off the portal to the demonic realm and sealed the evil entities off from our human world. But since he was a demon himself, his power was also trapped on the other side-" She started.
"Wait, then how do you all have your powers?" Ruby asked.
"Well, that's a common misconception. Simply sealing the portal didn't take away Sparda's powers, he sealed all of his demonic power in his beloved sword named after him to ensure the strength of the seal. Bravest thing a demon could do. Even I didn't have the courage for that." My father said.
"But this is only half of the true legend. The other half is his story." I said, looking to my father, who smiled proudly. "The stories all say that Sparda simply took on the demon army on his own and then took on Mundus. It actually happened more like this: As Mundus made his final move to send his demonic armies to invade the human world, Sparda and my father stood in their path right in front of the portal. Then, my father did most of the work, hacking through Mundus' armies, clearing the way for Sparda so the Dark Knight could save his strength for the Demon Lord himself. Then, after Sparda's path was secured, my father jumped back into the fray, challenging the full might of the demonic army on his own. So basically, Mundus was the goal, Sparda was the quarter back, the demonic army was the other team and my father was the most kick-ass blocker of all time." I said.
"That's... an interesting way of putting it. But yes, I handled all the fighting against the lesser demons and left Mundus to Sparda. While Mundus is the lord of all demons and one of the most powerful of all time, I still thought I'd have a better time fighting a massive army rather than one singular opponent." My dad explained.
"Well, that's quite the legend. How can you back it up?" Weiss demanded.
"Because you aren't bowing down and kissing Mundus' feet or doing some demon's bidding while he pokes you in the ass with a pitch fork." My mother answered.
Lady let out a small laugh as well. "I never believed it, either. I thought both stories were just a child's fairy tale. But I found out that this so called 'legend', wasn't a myth at all. Sparda existed. And how do I know? I met the sons of Sparda. Both of them. And Ryu and his children are right here. That's all the evidence you should need." Lady said, sitting in my lap.
"Yep. The demon world was all sealed up and it seemed like there was no way of undoing it... Or so we thought." I said as the camera started waving like water, starting up a flashback.
"WAIT!" Draco called.
"Oh, come on! What?! It was about to get good?" I said annoyed.
"What ever happened to your Final Fantasy 13 story? You completely abandoned that." He said.
"Oh, right. Well, I couldn't find any more playthroughs without commentary so I quit. Summing it up, we accepted our L'Cie powers, found out the president guy or whatever was really the ultimate Fal'Cie, killed him. Pulse started to fall, so I became Ragnarok, combined that with my Devil Trigger and transported pulse to our own world, where it now sits on the equator as a new small contonent. I hooked up with Lightning, Fang and Vanille and eventually, I no longer needed them, so I gave up my L'Cie powers." I said.
"What!? Why!? Everyone demanded.
"Eh, didn't need them. They were making me too OP, you know? I'm not trying to be Superman in this bitch. Lame, boring, 'I can do anything' Gary Stu." I said.
"Hey, that's not very nice, Sai!" He said disappointedly, floating down towards us with his arms crossed.
"SUCK A COCK!" We all shouted, my dad snapping his fingers and teleporting Superman to a planet with a red sun.
"And while we're at it, why did you stop using all those awesome ki attacks?" Ruby asked.
"Well, most of my other adventures focused more on weapons that shooting energy attacks, so I kinda limited those for a while. And as you'll see later, they didn't always work as well as they did for the DBZ villains. But, I'll probably start doing them again soon, a lot of these stories are getting more serious and the fans probably want to see more ki blasts and stuff." I said.
"I bet you just forgot how to do them." Weiss said arrogantly.
"Oh, really? Care to test that?" I asked.
She looked unsure for a moment, but then mustered up the proper courage. "Bring it." She said as we stepped to the side. She watched my movements carefully as I stretched my arms out to the side. (Could that be the Final Flash?) She wondered, before I took a deep breath and reared my head back. (No, now it looks like he's going for a breath attack like Break Cannon or Innocence Breath...) She continued to ponder, before I simply breathed out a ghostly clone of myself. "Spooky, spooky ghosts!" I said, doing haunting fingers. She deadpanned at this, before flinching as the ghost flew towards her and grabbed her, resulting in an explosion that left her covered in soot with an annoyed look on her face.
"NOW, back to the awesome story of Devil May Sai: Dante's awakening!" I said mystically.
"Meh. I lived it. I'll just play the game instead." Dante said, somehow having a 70' inch flatscreen with a PS4 and a generator set up to play the game, smirking at the warning about explicit gore or whatever, before appeared in the background and kicked the camera.
"Nighty-night!" My game self said darkly.
Flashback...
We were in New York on our parent's anniversary. We came to a strange, run-down looking neighborhood, which the two looked at fondly, despite it being somewhat trashy-looking. "Why are we here? This place is a dump. There are plenty of more classy places around here that would be better suited for us." Nightshade said.
"This is... where the two of us first met, Nightshade." My mother said.
"Wow..." I said.
"It's amazing how we've grown from then. The first time we met here, we were enemies, trying to kill each other. I was working with Mundus to destroy the humans as your mother fought to save them." My dad said.
"Romantic, but still not how I'd want my relationships to go." Kinshiro said.
"Yes. It was that battle that made me change my ways... As I began to win the fight and knocked her down, a human stood up to me, stepping in between me and her. And even as she could barely stand, your mother got back up to defend them. I realized how brave and compassionate humans could be and why they deserved to live free, not enslaved by a tyrant like Mundus." My dad said.
"That's... beautiful." Katana said.
"It was so long ago. It's amazing peace has lasted so long. Your father and Spara did a good job. My parents are all-knowing gods and they believed the seal would only last maybe a year at most. But still today, that horrible tower is still sealed to rest." She said, looking into the distance I'm told the tower once stood, now replaced by homes and apartment buildings.
But then, the ground began to tremble and we heard the sound of the ground breaking apart and something massive rising up bellow. We looked back into the distance and saw to our horror, the massive tower rose from the ground, rising to its full form. "No!" Dad shouted, starting to rush towards it, before a number of demons appeared from thin air, blocking his path. We all prepared to fight as more and more demons appeared around us, a small battalion now surrounding us. "Huh. So bringing our weapons with us suddenly wasn't such a bad idea." I said, holding my arms out to the sides. Suddenly, two large discs flew towards me, circling around to my outstretched hands, each cutting through a demon as they leapt towards me until they finally flew into my hands: pitch black metal rings with a diameter of 18 inches, the grip wrapped in sleek red leather with a crescent-shaped guard in the middle to protect my hands inside the metal rings, line with 7 intimidating flame-styled blades on each one. As soon as they flew to my hands, a fire just as black as the metal rose up from the rings. These were my first Devil Arms, Blazeguard.
Back to now...
Ruby squealed in delight, before tackling me. "What the?!" I demanded.
"They sound so cool! Gimme! I gotta have 'em!" She said, digging into my trench coat pockets, only for rat traps to snap down on her hands. "Ow!" She whined, shaking her hands until the rodent mutilators came off. (no bullshit, those things are devastating. We used to have a bunch around my old house's back porch, 2 were about 5-7 feet away from each other, a rat stuck its neck in one and the trap came down SO HARD, it not only decapitated the poor bastard, it sent his head flying into the other trap! I swear to Beerus!)
"That's what you get. Only I can pull stuff out of my coat. Now, back to the story." I said, retaking my seat on the rubble. "If you are unfamiliar with the weapons my family will be using in this chapter, go back and read the last chapter of my Dragon Ball B story, that'll get you all caught up." I explained quickly
Back to then...
Background Music: "Hell" by Disturbed
I rushed into a group of demons and spun in a circle with the deadly rings out to my sides, easily decapitating them. Another group of 5 all jumped at me from the sides, thinking they'd be safe in the air, but they couldn't have been more wrong. I continued spinning in a circle fast enough to create a small tornado, catching them and leaving them helpless in the swirling winds, until I channeled more hellfire through the blades, turning the tornado into a swirling vortex of hellfire. I then did a double backflip, landing in a crouched position and then throwing them forward at a vertical angle, rolling like wheels on fire, stabbing into several demons (one on each spike and rolling a few more feet before exploding and flying back to me.
Lance held the middle of chain of World Breaker as he spun around, decapitating several demons with the sickle and crushing their skulls with the weight end, managing to wrap the chain around the necks of 3 demons, slowly draining their souls before roughly yanking on both sides of the chains, easily crushing through their necks and ripping off their heads, then spinning the weight rapidly before bringing it down on the ground in the middle of a decent group of demons, tearing up the ground and making a crater, making them fall in, before throwing the sickle, wrapping it around the broken debris of road and yanking back hard on the chain to pull the debris together and crush the demons inside it. "Pathetic monsters." He said.
But out of all of us, the demons seemed to go after my father most of all. Most of us were dealing with groups of 10 demons at most, while my dad was surrounded by no less than 25 demons, who all jumped on him at once. "Dad/Ryu!" My family all screamed at once. But then, his arm emerged from the mound of demons with his sword out. Suddenly, there was a massive blast of darkness, sending all the demons flying, revealing my father completely unharmed and still holding his devastating sword Void Slicer above its head, still in its sheath.
All of the demon looked up at him in fear. "I truly cannot even begin to understand the minds of you lesser demons. Surely, you know who I am and what I've done. Even knowing that, you chose to come after me and my family. In doing so, you also chose to throw your lives away. So be it." He said, unsheathing the weapon and stabbing it down into the ground. Then, the ground began to tremble once again before dozens of gangly, yet menacing clawed hands reached up from the ground, grabbing the demons, slamming them into the ground before crushing them in their hands, or simply swiping their claws and cleaving the demons into pieces.
End Music
the demons kept coming and we kept fighting, until we all heard a voice in the distance. "Now doubt you've got some fun planned for me... Right, Vergil?!" The voice called out towards the tower.
"Vergil... It can't be..." My father said in a mixture of disbelief, confusion, a hint of betrayal and finally anger.
"No... He wouldn't... Why would he do this?" My mother asked, just as confused and looking more hurt, like someone she cared about had done her an unforgivable wrong.
My dad then shook it off and looked back at me. "Sai! You've taken a long enough break! Time for action! Go to the tower!" He ordered.
Back to now...
"What?" Everyone asked.
"Hey, I saved the universe like 3 different times in one adventure, I deserved a little break. It wasn't that long, maybe... 6 months?" I said unsurely.
"What?! Heroes don't take 6 months off!" Ruby said accusingly.
"Well, I did, I was a kid, I earned it, get over it." I said, before looking at the 4th wall. "Oh, I'm still 13 in this story by the way. This happened in like... April. A month away from my birthday. Maybe that extra year would've saved me from getting impaled as many times as I did." I said in thought.
Back to then...
"On it!" I said, juking through the swarms of demons and rushing towards the tower.
"Sai!" Lance shouted, tossing me a set of glowing red sais. As soon as they connected with my hands, there was a flash of red, before they disappeared in my hands. I suddenly shot out my arms and one of the sais flew from it, sailing into a demon's head and killing it.
"Thanks!" I shouted. I then hurried towards the tower, dealing with several demons along the way. I hurried ahead towards the tower, stopping when I saw a dude a few years older than me wearing a red trench coat with a giant sword on his back nonchalantly heading into the tower. "Hey, you! Stop! It's too dangerous!" I shouted, hurrying after him, but suddenly, a figure emerged from a higher level of the tower and flew down at me. I dove to the side to avoid its talos and rolled into a kneeling position, looking up at it as it hovered down in between me and the tower, about 10 feet in the air.
It was a giant bat-like creature easily 3 times my size with a horned nose and a massive mouthful of razor sharp teeth and a single yellow eye with a burning red center with talons that matched or exceeded those of even the deadliest birds of prey. It sniffed the air for a few moments, before its already glaring eye narrowed even further as it looked at me with a face of pure anger and hatred. "You... You are the spawn of Ryu Blade! That traitorous bastard! I had almost escaped the demon realm, ready to conquer those pathetic humans, when HE struck my down and trapped me in this tower to be sealed away by Sparda! They took our precious moment of triumph away from us!" He roared.
"You say triumph, I say unspeakable horrors and enslavement of good people who didn't deserve it." I said.
"Lord Mundus' grip reaches all! All creatures belong to him! The humans are no exception! First, I shall destroy you! Then, I will take my revenge on your father! Then, we will finish what we started all those years ago and deliver this world to Lord Mundus! Prepare yourself for the fury of Popobawa!" He shouted, flying in at me.
Background Music: "Hero" by Skillet
I easily jumped and flipped over him, before creating a glyph of demonic energy in the air in front of me, planting my feet on it and launching me back onto his back, stabbing a couple of Blazeguard's blades into his back, getting a roar of pain and anger. I slashed his back a few times, but he then quickly pulled straight up towards the sky, causing me to fall off his back. He quickly pulled a 180 in mid-air to face me and fired an energy beam from his eye, hitting me in the chest and sending me to the ground (good thing this wasn't Heaven or Hell mode). I managed to recover and stick a 3 point landing, before looking up and dodging another beam, throwing a sai from each hand at him. But he folded his wings in front of his body, the sais dissipating as soon as they connected with the leathery flight appendages. "What?" I asked in disbelief, firing several ki blasts, which were stronger than the sais and while these shook the monster, there didn't appear to be any tears or openings in his wings. "Alright, let's try this!" I shouted, flying in and striking at him with Blazeguard. The hits were indeed connecting and pushing him back, but his wings and the body behind them still took no visible damage. I looked at them in disbelief, then up at him as he revealed his head. "How?" I asked, before being blasted back from another eye beam.
"This is why I led Mundus' armies. Why I was a front line general. My wings are indestructible. Not even your father could penetrate the defenses of Popobawa!" He boasted, laughing towards the sky with his wings now fully extended to the sides. This, however, left him open for a spinning disk of death to the face, the ring from my right hand now slicing into his face like a buzz saw, before I threw the other one at his stomach horizontally for the same effect. The weapons then flew back to me and he shook off the damage, taking a moment to catch his breath, looking up at me just in time to get two feet planted directly into his face, sending him to the ground.
"With openings like that, he probably didn't have to." I said. In actuality, my father had told me about this monster and how he fought it once. He was actually stronger than Popobawa, so he didn't need to cut through Popobawa's defenses, he was simply strong enough to push through them. Just like Cap's shield: if you hit hard enough, he'll give before the shield does. I rushed in as he got to his feet and landed several more slashes to his body, before he closed his wings, my weapons bouncing off them, before he opened up once more and let out a massive high-pitched shriek, the soundwaves being strong enough to force me back. He then looked at me and opened his mouth, which looked like a dark swirling void in the depths of space on the inside, before several dozen knives and swords of different styles and origins, some even from different continents and time periods, flying out at me, but I managed to dodge them.
"Insolent child! Know your place! You cannot stand up to the might of Popobawa!" He roared, firing an eye beam horrizontally. I jumped and twisted in the air, going over the laser as it swept to the right, throwing a sai from each hand once again, the two triple pronged weapons flying into the beast's eyes, blinding him and causing him extreme pain, staggering back and holding his eye. I used this opening to rush in and throw an uppercut, launching him into the air, which I followed up with several dozen ki blasts, flying up after him and swinging down on him as hard as I could, stabbing, slicing and slamming into him all at once, sending him flying down to the ground.
"Didn't have to. I just had to get around it. But good luck getting around this!" I said, flying down with my deadly rings stretched outwards, stabbing into his back one final time, before jumping back about 10 feet away.
End Music
"Between your rage and arrogance, you lost this fight the moment it started." I told him.
"That may be true... But there are others in this tower... Stronger even than the mighty Popobawa... And they have as much anger and hatred towards your father as I do. You will die... Broken and forgotten... With nothing to show for any victory you might JUST manage to steal along the way..." He said, before finally dying, his physical form shattering, leaving behind a floating ball of light that flew towards me, flying into the air and taking form a few feet above me; a badass black hooded trench coat, tattered and torn around the end of the hood, sleeves where my hands came out and the tail, or whatever you call it, I don't know what all the parts of a coat are called. It hung down far below my waist, reaching down as far as my ankles to just avoid touching the ground.
"My sweet-ass coat begs to differ." I said with a smirk. I put it on and it just felt... right. Like as long as I wore it, nothing could harm me. I then got crazy idea. I zipped up the trench coat and tried to stab myself with Blazeguard, but the blades that were capable of slaying the strongest of demons couldn't penetrate the awesome coat. I also noticed the coat had at least 6 pockets, one on each side around the waist where you'd expect pockets to be, one on each side on my chest just below my pecs, one on each side on the inside on the chest where some pockets are known to have inside pockets and one final set on the inside on the waist in the same spot as the ones on the outside. I decided to check them, finding more weapons of several different countries and even a number of different guns. "Oh, this is gonna be fun." I said with a smirk, before remembering. "Wait! that guy! He might be in trouble!" I said, hurrying inside.
Meanwhile, the guy in red had been dealing with Cerberus, managing to destroy two of the monster's heads and was most of the way through the 3rd, before it suddenly roared and caused dozens of icicles to rain down on him. He managed to dodge most of them, but one stabbed into the back of his leg. It wasn't anything serious, it would heal up the instant it was removed from his leg, but for the moment, it pinned him down and left him open as the monster charged in. Suddenly, before the monster could reach the Devil Hunter, the frozen doorway was shattered, sending a large chunk of ice flying at the monster and hitting it in the head and stunning it, allowing Dante to yank out the stalactite and launch himself towards the monster with one final Stinger, launching it back and causing it to fall to its knees, defeated. "You are not human, are you?" It asked.
"Who knows, I'm not even sure, myself." The man replied nonchalantly.
"Regardless, you have proven your strength. I acknowledge your ability. Take my soul and go forth. You have my blessing." It said, before looking like it was exerting its muscle, before letting out one final tiger-like roar, before its body shattered and a ball of light was left behind just like with Popobawa. Unlike the bat demon, however, instead of an indestructible coat, it became a set of nunchaku with 3 rods instead of the normal two. He briefly studied the weapon, before skillfully and stylishly swinging it around in a number of stylish and creative ways, cheering and hollering in delight all the while, before ending in a cool stance.
"Too easy." He said.
"Impressive. I was worried you would get yourself killed here, but from the look of things, you can certainly handle yourself." I said.
He looked back at me, surprised at first, but quickly shook it off. "I'm assuming you're no slouch yourself. It was you who smashed through the wall of ice cujo froze up back there, am I right?" He asked.
"That was me." I confirmed. I then looked closer at him. There seemed to be something familiar about him, almost as if I'd seen him somewhere before, but I couldn't put my finger on it. And from the look he was giving me, he felt the same way. "Sorry, but... Do I know you from somewhere? I can't shake the feeling we'd met before." I said.
"Yeah. You do look familiar. Like I'd seen you before somewhere. But if I had, it was a LONG time ago. Longer back than I'd like to remember." He said, looking away.
"Wait a second..." I said, starting to recognize a younger version of the person standing before me and reaching back for my earliest memories.
Flashback...
I was a baby in my crib, which was set up in our living room, only a few months old. My dad entered the room with a man in a distinguished purple suit, with two boys around 5 walked in. The man walked up and positioned himself to where he could see into my crib and Lance's, which was a few feet away. "Cute kids, Ryu. The black-haired one looks like a spitting image of you. The other one almost looks like one of MINE, though. You sure you didn't borrow one from me at some point?" The man said with a chuckle.
My father also let out a small chuckle, but shook his head. "Don't get any ideas, Sparda. Their mother is a gem now, but if you even THINK of trying to take one of her kids, she turns into a bear dangerous enough to send Mundus running." He said.
"Duly noted." Sparda said with a gulp.
"Besides, I'd say you've got your hands full with your own." My dad said, watching as the boy dressed in red ran up to my crib and peered over the side. I looked up at him and laughed, reaching up and grabbing one of his fingers as he reached down towards me. The other one in blue simply looked at me for a few moments, before walking over to Lance's crib and watching him as he slept, somehow finding him fascinating despite the fact he wasn't doing anything, almost as if he knew something the rest of us didn't. "But, with any luck, they'll be more than enough to stand up and fight for the next generation." He said.
"Indeed. I'm sure if the demons ever try to come back, they'll be able to handle them when the time comes. Hopefully, they'll be able to be good friends." Sparda agreed.
A year and a half would pass and we attended Sparda's funeral. It was the first and only time I saw my father cry. He kept denying it and saying Sparda had to still be alive, since a body was never recovered, Sparda having gone missing a month or two after his visit to our house and the search reaching the point where the Dark Knight had to be declared legally dead. After the service, my parents tried to talk to Eva, Sparda's wife and the mother of the two boys, but she simply refused to listen to them and denied their offers to keep watch over the family.
A few days later, my father was panicking. "No...! They're gone...! I can't sense them! She must've activated the wards!" He said. While him and Sparda had trusted each other with their lives, they weren't completely sold on trusting each other with their family's lives and a number of spells and wards so that, in the event of one of them turning on the other, they or their family would be able to place these wards with little difficulty, being able to hide themselves and their family from the other. And while Sparda had trusted my father with his life, Eva didn't, activating the wards to hide herself and her children from the eyes of everyone in the Blade Clan, preventing us from easily sensing and finding them like we could with most others. We'd have to actively look for them. They had moved from the home the Blade's knew them to live in, eliminating all easy ways for us to find them. From their, my father had my siblings, uncles, aunts and cousins search for the remainder of Sparda's family, but to no success. Another year and a half later, they managed to find Eva... dead. Slaughtered by a small group of demons, the boys nowhere in sight. My father was devastated by the news. "I'm sorry, Sparda... I failed you. Your wife's dead and I can only assume the same for your poor boys... Vergil... And Dante..." He said.
End Flashback...
"Dante." I said.
"Sai... Blade, right?" He asked.
"Yeah." I confirmed.
"Whoa. I haven't seen you since you were a baby. Didn't think I'd ever see you or your family again, after dear old Dad left." He said.
"We... Didn't exactly have a choice. After your father disappeared, your mother used his special wards to hide your family from us. We couldn't find you, but sadly, other demons could. We thought you and Vergil were dead. My father had all our available ninjas look everywhere for you, but there wasn't even the slightest trace. All we found out was that your mother was dead and we had to assume you both were as well." I said sadly.
He looked somewhat depressed at this, before shaking it off. "Well, come on, then. Our father's wanted us to be friends when we were younger, now we've got the chance to make up for lost time." He said.
I was a little shocked at the sudden proposal, but I had to admit, it sounded fun and I wanted to see what else Dante was capable of, since he defeated a giant ice cerberus mostly on his own. "Alright. Besides, Vergil is trying to destroy all the hard work our dad's put in to seal this place off. My dad's sure not happy about it and I doubt yours would be, either." I said, hurrying up to his side.
"Thankfully, messing with your brother is always easier with a friend." He said, the two of us sharing a chuckle.
Suddenly, the window behind us burst open and a girl on a motorcycle flew in, forcing us to dodge to avoid being landed on as she hit the ground and came to a stop in front of us. "Nice flying. I'm taking points off for almost hitting me, though." I said, mildly annoyed. It would've hurt, but only for a second and it was easy enough to dodge.
"Are you going to the party? What's the rush? Didn't you get an invitation?" Dante asked, almost teasingly.
"Wait, isn't that a-?" I started, noticing a large item on her back, before she aimed it at us. A fucking BAZOOKA. "Yes, it is!" I said, rolling out of the way to dodge it while Dante somehow leaned back and placed his foot on it, now riding it like a surfboard, cheering and hollering again like he was on a roller coaster, before finally steering it into the skylight above us. "Okay, THAT one, I'm not gonna let go by so casually." I said, walking up to her angrily, before she turned to reveal a stunning pair of eyes in a different color, the right blue and the left red, which I couldn't look away from, despite the glare they were casting us. "A-actually, it's okay. Probably only would've stung for a minute or two. No big deal." I said, chuckling a bit. It was like meeting Erika all over again... And equally as hostile.
Back to now...
"Hey, where was Erika during all this?" Yang asked.
"I was fighting space pirates with my sisters." She answered.
"Works for me." Yang said with a shrug.
Back to then...
The girl apparently ignored my statement, whipping the bike around to face us and revving it up again like she would hit us with it. "Uh... Okay... That happened." I said.
"This just keeps getting better and better." Dante said, continuing forward as I followed after shaking off my initial confusion.
