Chapter 7: Dante Comes Out To Play
As she got off her bats, Morrigan managed to frontflip herself inside the ring. She looked around for a perfect prey to eliminate from this match. After some searching, Morrigan managed to find her prey in Phoenix Wright, who was now getting up from that impact from Tommy Vercetti.
Michael Cole: What's on Morrigan's mind?
JBL: I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure Phoenix Wright doesn't wanna find out!
As Phoenix finally got up, he turned around to see Morrigan standing before him.
Morrigan soon blew out a kiss to the ace attorney, who was awestruck by Morrigan's luscious curves. He was hypnotized by her glorious 'you-know-what's, those shapely hips and not to mention those awesome bat wings stuck on her head. So far, he was stunned to even move, let alone lay a hand on her. And he didn't even want to.
However, the distraction cost Phoenix Wright heavily as Psymon Stark superkicked the attorney right in the face. Suddenly, Phoenix sold that super kick well as he stumbled over the ropes and onto the floor, eliminating him suddenly!
JBL: Uh-oh, goodbye Phoenix Wright!
Michael Cole: Phoenix Wright's case has totally been closed!
Jerry Lawler: Tough luck for the ace attorney!
9th Eliminated: Phoenix Wright; Eliminated by: Psymon Stark; Duration: 14:12
After Phoenix's departure, Morrigan decided to blow a kiss to the ace attorney again and waved him goodbye.
However, she didn't notice Tommy Vercetti sneaking up behind her. When the succubus turned right around, Tommy leaped over her and connected her face with a painful Codebreaker!
Michael Cole: Oh, and what a hard codebreaker!
JBL: She was too busy flirting around with Phoenix from the ring. Terrible mistake by Morrigan!
With Morrigan's face nearly disfigured by that hit, Tommy decided to pick her up so that he could do more damage.
He picked the succubus up and tried to hit her with an Attitude Adjustment, but as he dropped her down, Morrigan managed to grab him by the neck and sent him down with a RKO!
Michael Cole: RKO from outta nowhere!
Jerry Lawler: Tommy didn't expect that to happen!
Meanwhile, Donkey Kong was sitting right on Cole MacGrath's lap painfully. The bike messenger was wobbling around, trying to break free, but DK's weight was already too much for Cole to handle.
After that, he catapulted Cole into the turnbuckle and crashed into Guile, who felt a bit groggy to begin with.
JBL: Oh, he crashes right into the family man!
Jerry Lawler: Talk about two trains meeting each other for sure!
With both Cole MacGrath and Guile sandwiched between each other, Donkey Kong had an idea sprouted in mind.
So he decided to use his strength and pick both Cole and Guile up on his shoulders. The crowd rose up in a huge pop as DK carried two men with such ease, hoping to nail both of them with a double ShellShocked.
Jerry Lawler: I think I've seen this before!
Michael Cole: This is gonna be nasty!
JBL: Nasty? This is gonna be a mauling!
Before DK could take them down, he noticed Paul Phoenix roughing up Sly Cooper with chops to the chest.
The karate master then whipped the raccoon thief straight into Donkey, who connected with a big foot to the face!
Jerry Lawler: Oooh, that hurt!
JBL: I only hope DK didn't step in his own poop before the show.
Michael Cole: I highly doubt that...
With Sly down, Donkey Kong forgot he still had Cole and Guile hanging across his shoulders.
Finally, the big ape with the red tie managed to drop them down with a double ShellShocked!
JBL: All right! DK just killed two birds with one stone!
Michael Cole: I think you mean two birds with one ShellShocked.
JBL: *to Michael* I know what it means. You don't have to correct me, you know.
As Guile and Cole were laid out in the ring, DK looked far at the Rumble clock as it was ticking down to it's 18th entrant.
Whoever it was, Donkey Kong (and Paul Phoenix) we're ready.
Jerry Lawler: I can't wait for number 18! Who is it?
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #18: Dante (Devil May Cry)
As the buzzer sounded, the sound of a motorcycle came running through the curtain.
And out of the curtain came a white-haired demon hunter with his signature red-jacket, black jeans and black boots. And wrapped around his back was Dante's signature sword, Rebellion. He looked cooler than the other side of the pillow and he looked ready to rock this Rumble to the core.
Jerry Lawler: Look who's here, guys! It's Dante from "Devil May Cry"!
JBL: That guy's insane! He looks like Dean Ambrose got turned into a grandpa!
Michael Cole: Well, John, he looks quite younger than you think.
JBL: Still, white hair must be really old, I think.
Dante took his sweet time tightening up his gloves as he looked around at the crowd of people. He had some awesome supporters that were backing him up for this Rumble. And with all of this support, he was bound to be a favorite to win.
After fixing his gloves, he took off on his motorcycle.
Jerry Lawler: Aw man, I wish I had a chopper like that.
JBL: Oh please, the only chopper I prefer is the one where you fly in the air.
Jerry Lawler: I'm not sure if we can find a motorcycle that would fly, but that would sound like fun!
Dante took more time having to circle around ringside, looking at the entire competition. This was gonna be a local walk in the park for him, having to take on seven men and one woman all by himself. This wasn't gonna be bad after all.
And then, he finally stopped around ringside, getting off the motorcycle. But before Dante could get in the ring however, a woman with a big chest (who looked like Angelina Jolie) shouted over to him at the barricade.
Female superfan: Dante, please sign my chest please!
Looking over at the attractive fan, Dante got off the apron and went right over to the fan, who gave him a black marker.
JBL: What the hell is Dante doing? He's supposed to get inside this ring and fight! He doesn't have time to sign someone's chest!
Michael Cole: Hey, sometimes he can't help himself.
Jerry Lawler: I never knew he was a hit with the ladies too! And so am I as well!
After Dante signed his signature on her green shirt, the superfan went nuts and started jumping up and down, much to the chagrin of male audiences with beers in their hands.
As fun as Dante was having, he decided to get serious and get inside the ring.
JBL: It's about time he proves himself. That was a waste of time.
Dante got inside the ring, only to encounter both Donkey Kong and Paul Phoenix.
From there, the two engaged in a tense faceoff. It was man vs. animal vs. man. No one knows how on earth this was gonna go down, and quite frankly, no one wanted to know. Dante wanted to find out who to hit, DK or Paul. Either way, time was running out for him.
Jerry Lawler: I wonder who Dante's gonna strike next.
Michael Cole: Dante trying to make up his mind here.
JBL: *to Dante* Don't waste time, just strike them both if ya have to! This is a Royal Rumble, for goodness sakes!
However, time was wasted due to Dante riding his motorcycle, and the few autographs he had to sign for his fans.
So far, the people here in Miami all stood up to see number 19 make his entrance in just about 10 seconds.
Michael Cole: Let's see who's about to be number 19 in about 10...
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #19: Luther Dwayne-Grady (SSX Tricky)
While the buzzer went off, a overweight man with a mullet, leather jacket, and white-and-black Zubaz pants came through the curtain with a negative response from the crowd. This man who was walking down to the ring with a blonde mullet didn't care about the reaction he was getting.
All he wanted to do was win, and no little boos from this capacity crowd was gonna tell Luther what to do.
Jerry Lawler: Oh no, here comes trouble!
Michael Cole: For those of you who don't know this man, it's Luther Dwayne-Grady from the SSX series!
JBL: He's looking pumped tonight for sure! Definitely one of the favorites for sure!
Luther Dwayne-Grady: *to the crowd* Y'all shut up, ya buncha bearded Miami hippies! I'm-a gonna win this sucka!
After dusting off his jacket, Luther paced himself as he got on the steel steps and into the ring.
But as he got inside the ring, both Dante and Paul double clotheslined Luther to the ropes, but only to make him flop a little.
Michael Cole: Owww! That didn't look very good!
And as Luther started getting up, both Dante, Paul Phoenix, and Donkey Kong decided to triple team Luther by getting the biker over the top rope and onto the floor, eliminating him to cheers from the Miami fans!
JBL: Hey, what the-!
Jerry Lawler: *chuckling* Haha! Hey JBL, you said he was one of the favorites right? It doesn't seem so certain anymore!
JBL: Damn it, it wasn't fair! Luther should get a restart!
Michael Cole: *to JBL* Sorry, there's no restarts in the Rumble. Luther's out of here!
10th Eliminated: Luther Dwayne-Grady; Eliminated by: Dante, Paul Phoenix and Donkey Kong; Duration: 0:12
Meanwhile, as Paul Phoenix began taunting down at a fallen and shocked Luther, Tommy Vercetti snuck out of nowhere and hit Paul Phoenix right in the back of his neck, therefore sending him over the ropes and onto the floor!
Jerry Lawler: Hey, wait a minute! Now Paul's out!
JBL: Eliminated by a thief nonetheless!
Jerry Lawler: Paul's definitely not gonna like that!
11th Eliminated: Paul Phoenix; Eliminated by: Tommy Vercetti; Duration: 6:18
Paul Phoenix got up off the floor and looked shocked. Shocked that he was eliminated by a no good thug who was unseen at least.
Paul was mad. He was madder than an angry pitbull waiting to tear some sucker up with his teeth. He was so mad that he needed to find someone to take out his rage on. And he found that someone in Luther.
While the fat overweight biker was arguing with one of the officials, Paul superkicked Luther right on the side of his head, knocking him down like a weeble wobble.
JBL: Hey, what was that for?
Michael Cole: Apparently, Paul Phoenix didn't take his elimination too well, so he had to find someone to take his frustrations on!
JBL: Paul Phoenix had no right to do that. That guy's a sore loser.
Jerry Lawler: *to JBL* Really? I'll go tell him you said that.
While Paul Phoenix headed up the ramp in disappointment, the action inside the ring was growing ferocious as it was.
Cole MacGrath was now starting to fight back, hitting Sly Cooper with a big suplex. But that wasn't enough for the bike messenger to begin with. He wanted to do more.
Michael Cole: Huge suplex by MacGrath!
JBL: Uh-oh, I think he's just getting started!
Jerry Lawler: I'm feeling a little bad for Sly Cooper here!
With surprisingly added power, Cole MacGrath lifted up Sly Cooper for another vertical suplex.
Sly's back was already getting stiffer from every suplex he was taking. And every time his back was getting stiff, it gave him less time to try to break free.
JBL: We gonna see three amigos!
Jerry Lawler: If only if Cole can land that third suplex!
However, as he was lifting up the thief for a third suplex, Morrigan came in and dropkicked Cole in the thigh muscle!
When he got dropkicked in the leg, Sly Cooper managed to counter with an impressive DDT!
Michael Cole: He planted him with that DDT!
Jerry Lawler: MacGrath should've saw Morrigan coming for sure!
JBL: I know, I hardly forgot she was there!
Meanwhile, Guile had Psymon Stark trapped in the airplane spin.
Around and around, Guile kept on spinning the SSX veteran through a good portion of the ring. Psymon tried to keep his bile in during that painful ride, but sooner or later, it was gonna get worse for the dread-locks wearing freak. Somehow, he spun him around a good 15 seconds now.
Jerry Lawler: Look at this, this isn't good for Psymon!
JBL: Guile's spinning him around like a dreidel!
Michael Cole: If Guile keeps spinning Psymon like that, he's gonna cause a total mess for sure.
While Guile finally set Psymon down, the 'family man' focused on the Rumble Clock, who was ticking down to its 20th entrant.
Apparently, Guile wanted this entrant all to himself.
JBL: Here's comes number 20 for sure!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #20: Crash Bandicoot
While the buzzer sounded for the 20th time, an anthro Eastern barred Bandicoot with denim jeans and brown boots sprinted down to the aisle.
Being appreciated by this lukewarm reception, he gave time to hand-five the fans on his way.
Jerry Lawler: Well, this is a surprise!
Michael Cole: One of the most familiar faces from the Playstation era, Crash Bandicoot!
JBL: Look at him, he hasn't aged one bit! I'm very impressed!
Jerry Lawler: It'd be interesting to see what he can pull off here!
As he got on the apron, Guile began going after him.
But Crash Bandicoot managed to get him with a stun gun, and then leaped over the rope, entering the ring with an impressive Hurricanrana!
Jerry Lawler: Impressive Hurricanrana!
JBL: I'll be damned! That rat really knows how to fight!
Michael Cole: *to JBL* Um... that's a bandicoot.
JBL: Same thing!
Crash was just getting started. He felt pumped to go after more guys.
Luckily, he found a target in Cole MacGrath, who was still unconscious from the DDT by Sly Cooper. Using patience and concentration, Crash managed to pull off a very sick standing corkscrew moonsault on MacGrath.
Michael Cole: What an impressive move!
Jerry Lawler: Something tells me he's been watching a lot of Neville matches lately!
Meanwhile, Donkey Kong managed to tie up Psymon Stark on the ropes. Psymon was still very lucky that he didn't puke for once due to that airplane spin. But it was about to get worse for the snowboarder.
With the freak tied up to the ropes, Donkey Kong looked at his bare chest and sprouted up an idea.
JBL: Oh no, what does the ape have in mind? I hope it's bananas.
Jerry Lawler: Believe me, that's not what's on DK's mind for sure!
Michael Cole: Psymon is in major trouble here!
As Donkey Kong then shushed the crowd to a major silence...
*SLAP!*
The gorilla slapped Psymon's chest so hard, the freak was practically wobbling around the ring!
Michael Cole: Oh my lord!
Jerry Lawler: I don't know why, but Psymon just suffered some major heartburn there!
While Psymon was still suffering minor heartburn from that huge chop, Tommy Vercetti whipped Morrigan to the ropes and basically launched her right in the air.
And while Morrigan was coming down, Tommy lifted his foot up, resulting in Morrigan getting hit right between her legs!
Michael Cole: Oh geez-!
JBL: Oh come on, that was so uncalled for!
Jerry Lawler: Normally I wouldn't agree with you on that one, JBL. But for the first time, you're actually right!
Michael Cole: I only hope it's not too serious!
The impact that Morrigan took was definitely serious. She was huffing and puffing from that shot to the legs, which was enough to make her unconscious.
Tommy then yanked her by the green hair, resulting in talking trash to her face.
Tommy Vercetti: *to Morrigan* You're going f*****g out, you b***h! You hear me?!
But as Tommy could send Morrigan over the ropes, Dante came out of nowhere and tossed Tommy Vercetti over the ropes and onto the floor instead.
His elimination suddenly sent out a mixed reaction for Dante, considering that some of Miami were backing up Tommy in this match!
JBL: Finally, the thug's gone!
Jerry Lawler: Tough luck for Tommy Vercetti! He was one of the favorites going in!
Michael Cole: Talk about a huge hit in the Rumble!
12th Eliminated: Tommy Vercetti; Eliminated by: Dante; Duration: 8:43
After Tommy's elimination, Dante went to check on the hurt succubus, who was still hissing at the pain.
As Morrigan looked right up to Dante, the succubus suddenly gave him a warm hug that made the demon hunter blush all over. Dante felt a bit speechless and a bit surprised, and so did the rest of the people watching this. Dante never knew how warm she felt all over when she hugged him. It was possibly her way of saying 'Thank You' to him, even though he was just doing his job in the Rumble.
But regardless, Dante took it as a surprising compliment!
JBL: Hey, check this out!
Jerry Lawler: You hardly don't see that in the Rumble anyday!
Michael Cole: Well, I could very well see this happen in a video game! I mean, a demon-hunter and a succubus hooking up? That's sure to spike up game sales!
JBL: *to Michael* I couldn't agree with you more, Michael!
While Dante suddenly found themselves smiling at the hug given by Morrigan, the Rumble clock lit up once again, bringing in the next entrant in the match.
Jerry Lawler: Number 21's coming up now! I'm excited for this one!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... *BZZT!*
Entrant #21: Master Chief (Halo)
As the buzzer sounded, the sound of a M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain vehicle started rolling through the curtain and down to the aisle.
And riding the vehicle down to the ring came a man dressed in nothing but dark green battle armor, along with a high tech helmet. Fans were excited to see this competitor in the Rumble, seeing how big of a reaction this Halo fan favorite got.
JBL: Wow, is this Rumble getting better and better? We got Master Chief!
Michael Cole: Master Chief from "Halo" has arrived!
Jerry Lawler: We got once again another favorite in this Rumble. But then again, everyone is a favorite in this match!
JBL: I can't wait for the Chief to strike! It's gonna be amazing!
To be continued next chapter...
Yeah, JBL, that'll have to wait until next chapter. Anyway, since next chapter's gonna be full of Halo fever, here's the stats:
Eliminated: Wario, Dan Hibiki, Hugo, Tina Armstrong, Steve, Raphael Sorel, Waluigi, Little Mac, Phoenix Wright, Luther Dwayne-Grady, Paul Phoenix and Tommy Vercetti
Still in the ring: Cole MacGrath, Crash Bandicoot, Dante, Donkey Kong, Guile, Master Chief, Morrigan Aensland, Psymon Stark and Sly Cooper
Entrants in the ring: 9
Entrants still left to go: 29
Will the new found friendship/partnership/future relationship of Morrigan and Dante come into play?
Is Donkey Kong still gonna chop everyone like crazy?
Will Psymon manage to keep his bile intact?
And will JBL keep mistaking Crash Bandicoot for a rat?
Regardless what happens next chapter, you don't wanna miss it. Until next time, OPA!
