In the common area of the mall, rubble line out a perfect arena for Dante, Doom Guy, and Heller to go toe to toe with Mercer, rain begins to pour in from the big hole in the roof*

Heller turns his arms into Claw Arms and charges Mercer, who also changes his arms into Claws and clash with Heller, they slash matching blows to each other*

Heller and Mercer lock claws trying to over power each other, Dante jumps into the air and comes down stabbing at Mercer, a tendril pops out of the back of Mercer grabbing Rebellion and yanking it out of Dante's hand*

Dante: shi-

The tendril stabs him and whips him away but he recovers and pulls Rebellion out of his chest*

Mercer pushes Heller away as Doom Guy rushes by and punches Mercer then blasts him with a shotgun*

Mercer rolls and changes his right arm to a Whip Arm and whips at Doom Guy but before it hit him Heller's Whip Arm grabs Mercers and Heller yanks Mercer towards Dante*

Dante stabs Mercer and flings Mercer off and into the air as Heller jumps and grabs Mercer suplexing him into the ground*

Heller stands up and raises his Claw Arm*

Heller: gotcha now you bitch

Before he could strike Mercer, giant claws spike out the ground hitting and impaling Heller, the spikes keep coming out as they approach Doom Guy and Dante*

Dante and jumps dodging one and flips off of it into the air, Doom Guy jumps out the way, Guy notices Heller is getting absorbed*

Guy rushes and pulls out his Chainsaw and saws the spike in half freeing Heller*

Heller*landing and kneeling: thanks man..

Mercer stood up his body started shaking and shivering*

Mercer: I've had enough of this!!

Dante: yea me too!

Dante comes down on Mercer stabbing him through with Rebellion then he pulls out Ebony and Ivory and unleashes bullet hell upon him*

Mercer: that wont stop me...

Tentacles sprout out of Mercer, Dante dodges, Mercer turns his arms into hardened fists and smashes the ground, causing it break*

The ground falls away causing everyone to fall into a large room of exit sewer pipes, sewage bellows out of several pipes*

Dante lands a few feet behind Mercer while Doom Guy and Heller are a few feet in front*

Mercer: adapt to this

Mercer mutates and turns his body into full mutant armor*

Heller: shit! This motherfucker!

Dante: alright Mr. DNA now its time to really finish this

Dante stingers Mercer but his sword bounces off, Mercer grabs Dante and lifts him but before he could do anything Doom Guy tries tackling him but Mercer doesn't budge*

Mercer throws Dante away into a sewer pipe and picks up Doom Guy, he jumps into the air and Batista Bombs him into the ground*

Mercer catches Heller's attempt to stab him with his Whip Arm, Mercer swings Heller around and into the wall*

Dante: RAAAAAHHHH

Dante, in Devil Trigger, rushes Mercer slashing and then punching him towards Doom Guy who catches him and holds him in a master lock*

Dante slashes more at Mercer and Heller appears, in Armor Mode, also slashing at Mercer*

Heller: how ya like that you Emo Fuck!?

Mercer breaks out of the master lock and kicks Doom Guy away, he then grabs Heller and Dante by their necks*

Mercer: enough

He starts absorbing them but Doom Guy's chainsaw appears through his chest*

Mercer: what the-

The chainsaw rips through the top of his body, Heller and Dante fall to the ground, Doom Guy keeps pulling the chainsaw through until he fully saws Mercer in half, as Mercer's ripped body falls to the ground Doom Guy stomps his body into a bloody pulp*

Heller: I like your style

Doom Guy doesn't say anything and puts away his Chainsaw*

Heller: I wanna thank you two

Dante: it was nothing but I was wondering you think you could pay us?

Heller: uh contact the Government about that one

Unbeknownst to them Mercer's bloody and beaten body stands up and writhes around*

Dante*noticing: huh shit how the hell

Heller and Doom Guy turn to see*

Heller: son of a bitch

Dante and Doom Guy ready themselves*

Heller: no the next thing hes gonna do only I can stop get outta here before he absorbs you

Dante: Alright... come on

Dante and Doom Guy run towards a Sewer Pipe*

Heller forms his Arms into claws*

Heller: I'm sorry Maya...

Heller stabs Mercer's body and attempts to absorb him but tendrils pop out if Mercer's body stabbing through Heller and towards Dante and Guy but Heller twists his hands causing the tendrils to whip around hitting the sewer area and causing shockwaves and collapses around them*

Dante and Guy are knocked into a Sewer Pipe by a shock wave as the pipe is blocked off by rubble*

Dante wakes up in a Sewer Tunnel, dim orange lights line the top of tunnel*

Dante*holding his head: damn...

Dante sees Doom Guy laying on the ground, he kneels to wake him up but notices something lodged in his arm peice*

Dante: hmmm?

He pulls it out and sees it's a picture*

Dante*recognizing the picture: what...how does he...

In the sky the helicopter that picked up Leon, Ashely, and Frank fly through the storm*

Ashley sits beside Leon and Captain Price, but turbulence causes her to grab onto Leon*

Leon: it's just turbulence Ashley
