Mission 10: Reason
"You've found both Dante and the Ashura Gouenmaru, well done." Anna said over the comm.
"Thanks Anna, were on our way to the Qliphoth's Main tree now." Gray said
"Alright, be careful, I'm getting a reading on that Knight you and V fought further up ahead." Anna said. "Also, shouldn't you bring the Ashura Gouenmaru back to us?"
"A little busy at the moment, Anna." David said.
"Besides, you don't need to worry, were all meeting up inside the Qliphoth anyway. And don't worry about the Ashura Gouenmaru. Issei has it." Gray said.
"Issei? Him?" Anna asked. "Trusting a legendary sword in the hands of the Oppai Dragon?"
"Thank you!" Issei said proudly.
"Anna, relax. His mind is filled with too many lewd thoughts to be mad about anything. It's all under control." David said.
"Alright, we'll meet you there then." Anna said.
"Alright." Gray said seeing Issei heft the blade and practicing a few swings. "Try to be careful with that thing, if you don't mind."
"Hey, don't worry, I know how to handle blades. Yuuto gave me some training." Issei replied.
"See? Nothing to worry about." David said. "(So long as he stays concentrated. Well, better him than me. I don't know if I can keep my emotions in check if we run into an enemy. I'm a bit of a maniac when it comes to fighting demons.) So, Dante. I noticed that a lot of stuff has happened since we last met."
"Tell me about it." Dante said. "After the stuff Ultron Sigma pulled, you wouldn't believe the crazy stuff I went through."
"One of which was Nero, I'm guessing." David said.
"Yup, found him on a job before this. Let's just say it was an ordeal." Dante said.
"I'd bet it was. Sure, he's got some issues to work out, but...he's a good kid." David said.
"Yeah, he is. But getting pulled into this Urizen gig by V? Not cool." Dante said. "I mean, he's Vergil's demon half basically, and he broke Rebellion like it was nothing."
"Wait, he actually destroyed Rebellion?" David asked. "Unbelievable… He really is that powerful?"
"You sound surprised." Issei said.
"Well, yeah. I mean… Rebellion was originally Sparda's blade. For it to be destroyed so easily, this is obviously no run of the mill demon we're dealing with. Not even Yomi was that powerful." David said.
"It's gonna take all the power we've got to beat Urizen. And then some." Dante said. "We may even have to use that." he said referring to the Ashura Gouenmaru.
"That would be bad. We have no idea what it does, or if its even compatible with the Yo-kai Watch Ogre. And so far, Issei's the only one who can actually hold the thing." Hope said on the comm.
"Well, I'm just hoping it doesn't come to that." David said.
Dante then looked ahead as he saw a red portal in the sky. "We got company." he said as a giant blue metal coffin dropped out of the sky.
The giant metal coffin landed on the ground with a crashing thud. It then began to open up and transform into a giant metal demon with gear like rollers which made up its legs and arms that ended in large horrific sawblades with skulls and horns on them.
Driver of Agony
Pain
"Whoa, never seen this guy before." Dante said.
"That is one tricked out car this Universe came up with." David said.
"It's called Pain, and it's extremely deadly." Anna said. "It's a walking arsenale armed with guns inside its arms and the saws it has on its hands."
"Well, seems as though it's a new one, what do you say we take it out for a test drive?" Dante asked.
"Like you read my mind." David said as they both get their pistols out.
"Let's rock!" David and Dante both said.
(Cue- Subhuman- Devil May Cry 5)
Pain began its attack by swinging its arms in sawblade mode to try and attack them.
"That's pretty dangerous. Maybe you should lose those arms!" Dante said as he used Sparda in sickle form to sever the sawblades.
"I've got it!" David said using his Ice Breath to freeze its legs before slicing them.
"No way you're planning a getaway. Ice Make: Floor!" Gray said freezing the floor under it as a slick sheet of ice.
"Alright, now it's my turn!" Issei said. "Dragon Shot!" he added as the attack went through the coffin chest, causing it to fall to the ground and stop moving before its body started cracking and exploded.
"Well, that takes care of that." David said.
"Alright, let's keep on movin." Dante said.
The group continued on as the Geryon Knight Rider was soon spotted on the road as it turned to the group. "Y-You…" it said.
"Is there something we can help you with?" David asked.
"Is it Halloween already?" Dante asked.
"Sparda…. Ishihara... Fullbuster...Red Dragon Emperor…" the knight growled.
"This is the same Knight from before, and I'm getting another reading from inside its body." Anna said over the comm.
"If Lady was the last reading, I'm guessing that's Trish." David said.
"Yes, be sure to finish the knight off after you rescue her." Anna said.
"Alright then. Let's get a closer look at that costume." Dante said as the knight evoked his lance.
Voltaic Black Knight
Cavaliere Angelo
(Cue- Voltaic Black Knight- Devil May Cry 5)
Cavaliere Angelo attacked with bursts of electricity from his lance as the four attacked and parried his strikes.
"You oughta keep back for this one, David. You don't seem like the guy that handles electricity well." Issei said.
"Actually, I've got a way to counter that now." David said. "Thunderbird!" He shouted as he deals a lightning imbued strike on Cavaliere Angelo.
"Whoa! When did you get that?" Issei asked.
"Through our travels in Orsterra. I am now a champion of its Hunt Goddess, Draefendi." David said.
"Pretty interesting." Dante said. He then noticed the Thunderbird attack knocked off parts of Cavaliere Angelo's armor and started to energize a downed motorbike. "Hey, David? You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Hell yeah." David said.
Smirking, Dante and David began hacking away at Cavaliere Angelo as its armor flew off and to the motorcycle. After awhile, the two broken halves were charged with electricity and came together, transforming into a new motorcycle. It was heavily armored with spikes coming out from both sides of the front tire. As if it had a mind of its own, it revved up and drove right over to Dante as Trish slid out of Cavaliere Angelos falling body and caught them both.
Just then a Golden LP depicting a claw of fire and a claw of lightning appeared, floating over Cavaliere Angelo's body.
"Whoa, ho ho ho!" Issei said grabbing the LP. "Now THAT is a Motorcycle that screams badass!"
"And mine doesn't?" David asked. "Though, I will admit, the work done on it is rather cool."
"Sure does. No offense to you David, your bike's pretty cool too." Issei said.
"Yeah. I just don't think I can pull of that spiky frame. Anyway, how's Trish?" David asked.
"She's okay. Looks like she wasn't harmed in any way while in the armor." Gray said.
"Hey, perv. Look away." Dante said.
"What?! I can't miss a chance to-" Issei started before Dante revved up the new bike.
"Unless you wanna get run over by this bad boy, I'd watch what you say." Dante said.
"He's right, Issei. She's Dante's partner. A little respect could get you far." David said.
"Look, just because I'm a man of culture doesn't mean I don't respect girls for more than their looks." Issei replied sharply.
"(Why do I highly doubt that?)" David thought. "At any rate, it's not safe for her here."
"Yeah. I'll go ahead and take her back to the vehicles." Gray said picking her up.
"Dante!" A voice called as V was seen running up to them.
"V! What happened?" David asked.
"Nero and his group are at the Qliphoth… Beelzebub is there with Urizen." V panted.
"Look, you shouldn't be out here. You need to go back to the vehicles." Gray said.
"You guys take care of Trish for me." Dante said revving up his motorbike.
"Wait, where are you going?" Issei asked.
"I'll meet you guys at the Qliphoth, there's something I gotta do first." Dante said punching the throttle on his bike as Griffon followed.
"Dante wait-!" V called before he collapsed to the ground and weakly sat up.
"What is wrong with him?" Issei asked.
"His body is falling apart is what." Gray said.
V's body was seen slowly cracking apart as he sat up. "I don't have much time." he muttered
"We know you don't. The demon half took most of your strength. Meaning without it...you aren't going to last long on your own, even with your tattoos and familiars." Gray said.
"I know Jack can handle Beelzebub, but Urizen? Mayumi and the others aren't going to last long against that." David said. "You guys get back to the Turtle Fortress. I'm going to bust them out. Dante! Hey, wait for me!" David said going after him.
"Wait! There's no way you'll be able to keep up with Dante on that bike of his!" Issei said.
"Actually, I think he can." Gray said. "He's been working on his speed in the UA Training Camp. Heard he can even keep up with Kentaurosmon now."
"Cool…" Issei said.
"Well, we'd better get Trish and V back to the vehicles. After all, we still need to get that to Neu." Gray said pointing to the sword.
"Right. I'm more comfortable with Boosted Gear anyway." Issei said before he stopped in his tracks. "Er, no offense."
"Please, it's just a sword. Not like it can hear you." Gray said.
"Tell that to Ashura. I can hear a voice that isn't Ddraig in my head." Issei said.
"What? Hmm. Wait...I think I get it. When Neu uses the Fudou Raimeiken, he's letting Fudou possess his body so...the swords have the spirits of their original wielders dwelling inside them?!" Gray said.
"Most likely. But there's only one way to be sure." Issei said. "We need to get this blade to him."
