The leading minion reared back its axe and slashed it at Daisy and Vixen, who both back-flipped away from the slash, and landed in combat stances. Vixen's eyes glowed yellow as she summoned the Blade of Heaven and with a flash of light it appeared in her right hand, while Daisy began formulating her own battle plan.

"Daisy, where is your Katana?" Vixen whispered to Daisy. In response Daisy unleashed a shock-wave that sent all the skeletal and un-dead looking creatures diving out of the way. The shock-wave allowed Daisy to run up to her car and pop the trunk open and pull out the enchanted Katana Crusader had gifted her with.

"That answer your question, Vixen?" Daisy asked with a small smile as the two women took up combat stances with their respective weapons. "Any of you care to show a girl a good time?" Daisy taunted Wraith's soldiers, who hissed in anger at her question.

One of Wraith's minions rushed forward with an iron sword, only for Daisy to parry his sword's blade with the blade of her Katana. She quickly disarmed him and slashed him across his chest, which caused the being to hiss in anger and pain as it rushed back to it's master.

"That all you got?" Vixen mocked as another of Wraith's minions leapt into the air and tried to slash at Vixen with a black dagger, only for Vixen as well to disarm him and stab him in the heart, causing him to let out a blood curdling scream as his body turned to ashes.

"Two down, do any of you still think you can beat us?" Daisy taunted the hideous looking creatures, who know quickly formed a circle around the two young heroines, who now stood back to back in the center of the circle.

"You are still outnumbered eighteen to two." the leading minion hissed as an evil smile spread across his face, showing his skeletal teeth which where stained with blood.

"Please, I've been training against those odds for years." Vixen scoffed, which earned a snarl from the leading minion.

"But has she?" the leader hissed as he pointed a finger at Daisy. "Whoever defeats her may have her." the leader informed his fellow soldiers, who all had wicked smiles at the thought.

"You want her, you've got to go through me!" Vixen hissed as she readied the Blade of Heaven, while Daisy readied her Katana.

"On this day your blood shall be spilled Vixen Starlight." the leader hissed as he jumped forward with his own weapon, a serrated machete, and lunged at Vixen. Vixen responded by lunging forward with the Blade of Heaven, and the two attacks collided.

-Meanwhile-

America had just made her way back from the water fountain near Dante's hospital bed and into Dante's room to wait for his return from surgery, when a doctor entered the room.

"I'm looking for Inferno." the doctor said quickly as he began looking around the room for him.

"Oh, are you here to give him his shot?" America asked innocently.

"Yes, I was asked to give him his shot." the doctor said just as innocently.

"That's interesting since he just got taken back to the operating room, and the other doctors never mentioned a shot." America smirked as she closed the door once the doctor had walked into the room. "Also I love your disguise, Wraith!" America hissed as she reared back a fist and punched the doctor, sending him flying back and indenting him into the wall, where he began to laugh.

"You caught on quick." the doctor laughed as his image shifted and changed revealing the purple and golden skeletal warrior whom he really was. "I had a feeling that trick would not fool you." Wraith laughed as he easily pulled himself out of the wall he had been punched into.

"Why try it if you knew it wouldn't work?" America inquired of her enemy.

"Because humans are usually easy to fool, but it seems you have brains as well as raw power...unusual for you I must say." Wraith mocked America, who's cocky smile vanished and was instead replaced with a flat line.

"What's that supposed to mean?" America hissed at her enemy.

"From what my master has told me about you, you prefer to think with your fists, as opposed to your brain." Wraith mocked as he let out a mocking laugh.

"I'm going to kick your ass back to the hell that spawned you!" America hissed as she flew forward and punched Wraith again, sending him completely through the wall and crashing down all three stories and nearly face planting himself into the concrete of the parking lot, until he flipped in midair and landed on his feet. America snarled and flew down into the parking lot, the civilians running into the safety of the hospital.

"Your outmatched Wraith. Give up before you get hurt." America hissed. In response Wraith pulled out his black bladed sword and took up a combat stance. America let out a battle cry as she flew forward and reared back her fist and threw a punch at Wraith, only to have Wraith slash her fist, which made America recoil and hiss in pain.

"You might be hard to hurt because of your powers... hard to hurt, but not impossible." Wraith hissed as he ran forward and slashed America across her stomach, causing her to hunch over in pain. "I'm guessing normal weapons would barely hurt you, but luckily my sword is infused with magic, and my sword can also steal a persons soul if I choose to steal it–" he was cut off by America Spartan kicking him across the parking lot and into a parked pickup truck.

"Shut up and fight!" America hissed as she tried to run, but the overwhelming pain in her gut caused her to stumble for a second and Wraith took advantage of that by impaling his sword into America's knee, causing her to scream and drop to a knee.

"Normally this would be the time I add your soul to my blade–"

"I have a feeling your not going to though." America hissed due to her injuries.

"I have orders to capture you. Although it's true Dante was my target, my master will be just as pleased with–" suddenly a reflection in America's eyes caught Wraith's attention and he rolled to the side, barely dodging an enlarged fist from Mrs. Marvel.

"Wraith, we have some unfinished business!" Mrs. Marvel hissed as she enlarged her other fist and took up a combat stance.

"Indeed we do, but that will wait till another time." Wraith hissed as she grabbed America by her throat and opened a portal and was sucked into it, taking America with him...
