Akira and Dante made their way to the tower entrance and battled Cerberus to get through to find Annabelle. The battle began to wear Akira down and the three-headed dog noticed as it shot ice at her but the ice evaporated before it hit her as she saw her hands were on fire but it never hurt her and Dante tilted his head in wonder and his eyes were filled with shock while she thought, 'Sweet! I'm a Firebender, and people have always said I was a fiery personality' Cerberus was still distracted by Akira's new power that it gave Dante a chance to hack off the second head, making the three-headed dog say, "You two are not human, are you?" "Who knows", Dante says, "I'm not even sure myself" "Regardless, I acknowledge your abilities. Take my soul and go fourth. You have my blessing" Cerberus then vanished into a small orb the went to Dante, turning into nunchucks that had three instead of two. Dante tried out his new weapon and once he was finished trying it out he said in a satisfied tone, "Too easy"

Akira began to walk forward when the ice behind her broke and a motorcycle came flying through the air; she and Dante both moved out of the way with Dante saying, "Are you going to the party? What's the hurry, didn't you get an invitation?" The rider had a rocket launcher on her and fired it at Dante, who ducked and began to ride the rocket like a skateboard. The rocket shot up to a part of the roof and Dante smirked at the motorcycle and noticed she had different colored eyes, making Akira realize it was, 'Lady', she thought. Lady revved up her motorcycle and drove it through the new hole and the engine soon went out of earshot as Dante said, "This keeps getting better and better"


They both made it to room and the door wouldn't open, making Dante try to kick it down and when it didn't work he tried to shoot it but was stopped by the most annoying voice Akira has ever heard, "Yoo-hoo!" Behind them was a Jester as he said, "There's no need to use violence, devil boy" Dante was about to shoot again but the Jester quickly continued as Akira clenched her fists, "Wait, wait, wait! Better listen to what others say, lad. This tower here, is very sturdy. *TAP! TAP! TAP!* You see? Your tricks, will do no good. No good!" Dante placed Ivory on the Jester's nose while saying, "Zip it! Or I'll pierce that big nose and I'll have sweetheart here chop your head and fry it" Akira rolled her eyes as Jester said, "That could be a problem. Just hear me out, you two have got nothing to lose, right? My name is Jester. And I know a thing or two about this place" He pointed to a slab near the door and continued, "That thing there, is a power generator for entire sector. In order to open the door you need to apply a little SOMETHING to it first. Do you what THAT is, kids? Or is that too difficult for you?"

Jester broke into laughter when Dante began to shoot at his feet, demanding Jester to "get to the point" Jester fanned himself with his scepter then said, "Actually, I prefer a sword to my partner" He then turned to Akira mockingly, "May I have this dance, my lady?" Akira and Dante both struck the slab not before Jester moved with ninja speed out of the way with the door opening. "Bingo!", Jester said standing on the ceiling behind them, "THAT is WHAT THE something IS! Remember that kids. Write it down on your hands if you don't trust your heads" He broke into laughter as Dante shot at his feet again as Jester retreated in a mockingly way while Dante said, "I see, thanks" He put Ebony back in its holster while continuing, "You still piss me off though" Akira couldn't help but agree while saying, "You and me both" 'I just hope Ann is safe', she thought as she continued on awaiting her next battle.
