Yeah, this story is drawing to a close. Only a few chapters to go and then it's all done. However, this series will continue. I have planned a fifth and a sixth Sons of Sparda, if you guys are interested. Will Vergil reappear? Guess you'll have to find out lol. Anyway, as with the Angel Bringer, I wasn't sure about powers for the weapon. While it sounds cool and all, the powers were the hard part and I couldn't figure out to work it in. That said, if I can come up with some awesome powers, it might make an appearance in SoS5. Excalibur? No, no appearance yet, but possibly in SoS5. Anyhow, on with the story. Enjoy

CRASH!!

Dante smashed through the stain glass window, entering the massive whitewashed room and began falling through the air near the wall, as a group of Bloodgoyles and Goatlings flew up to greet him. Drawing Ebony and Ivory, Dante fired away at them, flipping over straight, as his feet planted against the wall. Dante continued shooting at the demons, firing over his shoulders, before whirling around and leaping off the wall

More demons flew at him, but he shot them down, twisting and turning stylishly through the air, performing a variety of flips and gun fu moves, before landing feet first on the ground, spent cartridges and demon bodies falling around him. Rising up, Dante holstered his handguns, before drawing Sparda and Linkin

"Impressive," Jester said, watching from his throne across the room, "Most impressive. I doubt I could have done anything like that"

"Trust me, after this, you won't be doing anything at all," Dante said with a smile

He swung Sparda, then Linkin, the energy shooting towards Jester. He leapt off his throne, as it was sliced into four parts. Jester rolled his eyes and sat down on the floor, as Tristan moved forward, Vengeance drawn and ready

"Now this is gonna be interesting," Jester said, "Who will win this one? Oh wait, last time it was Tristan who won. Why did I even ask?"

"You really think Tristan is stronger than me?" Dante asked

Jester shrugged

"Guess we'll just have to find out, won't we?"

Dante turned to his son

"Come on, son, let's see if Jester is right or wrong"

"The final outcome is never known until the battle is fought," Tristan said

He strode towards his father and swung Vengeance. Dante blocked with Linkin, before kicking Tristan in the chest. The younger half-demon slashed wide, but Dante leapt over the blade, kicking Tristan in the face. He regained his composure and slashed again, as Dante blocked, whirling around and striking him with his elbow

"So, you've gotten a lot quicker, huh?" Tristan asked, "Doesn't mean a thing"

"No, I suppose not," Dante said, "But this might"

He kicked Tristan back, before doing a whirling double slash that threw Tristan through the air. He quickly got to his feet, as Dante slashed with Sparda. Tristan leapt out of the way of slashing energy, before firing a blast of energy from his own sword. Dante stepped back and blocked Tristan's strike, before sidestepping and slashing twice. Tristan dodged and went to strike, but Dante kicked him back. Growling, Tristan summoned Anubis and began attacking

Dante backed up to the wall, blocking and defending Tristan's moves, before leaping up onto the wall. Tristan leapt up after him, as Dante flipped away from his strike and did a dual Stinger. Tristan struck the ground and flipped back onto his feet, out of the way of Sparda and Linkin as they impaled the floor. Tristan kicked Dante in the face, before slashing. Dante ducked, as the blade sliced through the wall, before sweeping Tristan's legs out and walking away from him

A barrier appeared in front of Dante, as several large balls shot towards him. Dante whirled around, slashing with both legendary swords and destroying the orbs, as Tristan flew at him, slashing wide. Dante blocked, as Tristan fired an energy orb, slamming him against the barrier, before slashing. Dante ducked, as Vengeance sliced through the barrier. Tristan drove his knee into Dante's face, following up with a double kick that knocked Dante onto his back. He quickly shot to his feet, blocking and defending Tristan's moves, before doing the Air Trick and reappearing behind Tristan, kicking him forward onto his face

"Dammit, you will not win this one either," Tristan growled as he got up

"You think it's always about winning or losing?" Dante asked, "It's about doing what's right, son"

Tristan swung Vengeance, but Dante blocked and struck him down. Tristan looked up at his father, as both legendary swords started glowing red. Growling, Tristan swept at Dante's legs, but he jumped out of the way, before getting to his feet and attacking furiously, his eyes glowing red. Dante blocked or dodged each move, before unleashing the energy in Sparda and Linkin, blasting Tristan through the air and slamming him against the wall. A massive crack had appeared, as Tristan fell to the ground, knocked out cold

"Well, that was an interesting fight," Jester said as he got up, "Looks like you are the better warrior, Dante. Thought I must say, I'm disappointed it ended so quickly"

"I just wanted him out of the way," Dante said, "You're the one I want to fight"

"Is that so? Now I feel very special"

"Come on over here and let's finish this," Dante growled

Jester smiled, drawing both broadswords and practising with them almost lazily

"If you wish"

And with that, he suddenly shot towards Dante at surprising speed

Jenny impaled ten demons with Kraken, before slamming them into the ground and throwing them through the air, as Trish shocked a Basilisk, firing its skull into a Scarecrow, before slicing the Basilisk apart. Nero lunged forth with his Ex-Streaker move, taking out five demons, as an Abyss Goat fired several projectiles. Kyrie countered with several of her own, before casting a constricting spell on the demon

Lili slashed a Fetish into the air, before slicing it in half as it fell. A Blade leapt at her, but she kicked the demon down, before impaling it, then slicing a Goatling in half, whirling around and slashing a Nobody several times. Lady ducked under a Pride's scythe, shooting it in the head, before dodging a Lust's scythe and shooting it as well. A Hell Vanguard appeared, cackling madly, before lunging at Lady, swinging its large scythe. Lady smiled and fired Kalina Ann at it, taking out several Scarecrows along with the Vanguard

Celeste tore into a pair of Jomothumsiras, before battling against a Plutonian, as Michael took on the Tartarussian that had appeared beside it, while Parker, Leon and David were standing in a tight-knit circle, shooting apart any demons that came close, as an assault helicopter arrived, ripping into the demons with its machine-gun fire. Leon motioned to the others and they fought their way out of the fray, as the helicopter took care of the demons, blasting them apart with machine-guns and rocket launchers, aided by Ada, who was holstered inside as she fired away with her RPG

When the demons had all been destroyed and no more were coming, the helicopter landed, dispelling Ada and Amber, as they headed over to Leon and Parker

"So, what's next?" Trish asked

"I think we'll head out and find any more demons," Nero answered

"Where's Dante?"

"He's gone to take care of some unfinished business," Celeste replied, "And he wants to take care of it himself"

"Excuse me?" Trish said, "He's gone to battle against Jester. Last time I checked, didn't he put Vergil into a frigging coma?"

"Yeah, he did, but Dante insisted on doing it alone," Nero said, "He doesn't want any help with it. Says he can handle it. Besides, he's got Sparda and Linkin with him"

Trish growled under her breath, before turning around and walking off

"Fine. Let's leave Dante to it. Come on, we'll find some more demons to vent our, or at my, frustrations upon"

Nero and Celeste gave each other worried looks, before heading off after Trish

Dante blocked and whirled around, slashing wide, as Jester ducked, before slamming his elbow into his jaw. Dante recovered quickly to block Jester's strike, before slashing rapidly several times. Jester blocked a few blows, before leaping out of the way, as Dante ran after him. Jester laughed and created the massive rolling clown ball, standing atop the object and rolling it around the room, chasing after Dante. He leapt through the air, shooting away with Ebony and Ivory, but Jester was protected by a shield, as the ball disappeared and he landed, drawing his broadswords

"Doing good, Dante," Jester grinned, "Much better than I expected"

"What say we wrap this up quick smart?" Dante asked

"Very well then"

Dante lunged at Jester, attacking with an array of stylish moves, but Jester was able to block or dodge each one, before kicking Dante in the chest, throwing him against the wall, then lunging and slashing. Dante rolled out of the way, as Jester struck him with a large orb of energy. The swords went flying from Dante's hands, as he got to his feet, whirling around and drawing Yamato. Jester leapt over the flying slash and kicked Dante down, before impaling both swords beside his head and landing with his knee upon his chest, winding him. Jester grinned as he grabbed Dante by his shirt and drew back his fist

"I'm disappointed, Dante," Jester said, punching him, "I expected much better"

BANG!

Jester was blasted through the air, struck by a hardened ball of lava. Dante got to his feet and turned around, his jaw dropping open in surprise

"Vergil?"
