Rabbid Luigi grunted angrily as he shot through another one of Daphne's vines. This was getting annoying.

She dragged them all the way into this god forsaken forest and for what?! He gritted his teeth as he looked ahead and saw the he was no closer to his destination. The native flora was enough of a problem while hunting this... thing. But now, with Daphne in the mix, this was starting to get on his nerves. Majorly. And in addition to that, He had a lot to be mad about concerning his "brother" Rabbid Mario. He wasn't mad AT him, he had no reason! After all, he is the victim here...

The group had just landed on a location, and had managed to track a demon to a TV studio due to reports of strange activity around the set. Mainly, actors and crew disappearing, a large building appearjng out of the blue, and a strange Rabbid with a broom mustache asking for the "Sparda Boys". That's what really tipped them off.

After some searching around the place, they found... nothing. It was as if nothing had happened. That's when they all blacked out at once. And woke up in a large TV set. Rabbid Luigi looked around, and saw nothing but void. That was, until the BLINDING LIGHTS OF THE SUN switched on and nearly BURNED HIS EYES OUT!!! The light died down to reveal a pink room, a large one at that, and in this room was were multiple pink and red pedestals decorated with hearts, a button, and a singular screen at the front. Rabbi Luigi was at one of these and definitely found himself surprised. But not as surprised as his allies, Dante was shocked to be at this creepy seeming place, Rabbid Mario was scared out of his mind, and everyone else was nowhere to be seen. Well, everyone but Edge and Rabbid Rosalina. And a particularly snappy looking Rabbid. Edge and Rabbid Rosalina were both hanging above the Rabbid, struggling to get free from their restraints, with Edge going as far as trying it with her surprisingly sharp teeth, and shockingly failing. "God dammit!! What are these made of?!?!" The Rabbid walks over to Dante and the Rabbid Mario Bros. and turns to what seems to be a camera.

The Price is Right Theme

"Welcome ladies, gents, and demons of the 9 circles!!!! To Love! Or! Lust!!!" Dante chuckled. "So we're on some knock off gameshow then? Great!! Tell us the rules already so we can get out of here!!" The Rabbid chuckles back and turns to him. "First, introductions my dear boy!!! From New Donk City in the Metro Kingdom!! The Dashing Demon Slayer!! Son of the Black Knight Sparda!!! (And personal pain in the ass) It's Dante!!" The Rabbid looks at the others who groan slightly and facepalm themselves at the introduction. Dante just rolls his eyes. "Eh? No? Well, since you hated that one soooo much, Let's move on to the Dancing Machine!! The Beat Beast, Rabbid Luigi!!!" "Making it a little shorter doesn't make it any better asshat!!!" Rabbid Luigi commented on his own intro. The Rabbid growled, but inhaled, and exhaled before speaking.

Stop

"Excuse me a second folks." he then turned to the guys. "Listen Assholes. This is MY show!! If you don't like the intros, take it up with my secretary!!!" "You don't have a secretary do you?" The Rabbid tried to speak, but then stopped. "Ok, fine!!! I'll skip Rabbid Mario's intro!!" He resolves before turning to the camera again.

Cont.

"I'm your handsome host, Kizerix the Lustful. But you can call me... Mr. Kiz." Mr. Kiz turned to the guys. "Now!! It's time to explain the rules!! As you can see, your precious girls are lifted over your heads!!-" "Where's everyone else? You only have 2 of the four 4 on the team, and 3 of 7 guys." "SHUT UP!!! I was getting to that!!! Now, you friends are trapped within a large container oveeer there!!!" Mr. Kiz continued, exaggeratedly pointing toward said large container, where the inhabitants were starting to wake up. "Now, what I want you to do, is answer a few questions concerning your partners as one, cohesive team. And for every question you get wrong, well..." Kiz pressed a button on a remote, lowering the captured girls over a large net, and filling a container next to the one holding the rest of the team with red liquid. "Coward!!! Quit with the games and face us!!!" Vergil shouted angrily. "Shut!!! Anyways, if the container fills completely, then we'll dump it on your helpless friends!! And if the girls are lowered all the way into the net, then you lose, and I get to do whatever I want with my "spoils". Every right answer negating the effects of the aforementioned penalties." He said before letting out a weasel-ish laugh.

"Get bent creep!!" Edge yelled, with Rabbid Rosalina nodding in agreement. "Bastard!!!" Rabbid Luigi shouted attempting to jump at Kiz before Dante held him back. "Wait!! You don't know what'll happen if you attack him!!" He said before turning to Kiz. "He's right though. You are a sick Bastard." Kiz chuckled. "My apologies, but flattery will get you nowhere." "Still doesn't explain-a why you didn't go all out and take all the signorinas. It'd be a cowardly move, but then again you ARE a coward." Rabbid Mario spoke up. "I simply took the ladies and gents who I knew would grant the spiciest drama!!! Mario and Peach are too lovey dovey, Rabbid Peach is too self absorbed, and Beep-O, Luigi, and Vergil (although it pains me to say this about a son of Sparda) are just... boring." Kiz finished, with all of the captured letting out an offended "Hey!!", Excluding Vergil, who simply scoffed. "But you?!?! Rabbid Luigi, who goes berserk at the sight of his precious Rosa in peril!! And don't forget the love triangle going on with you 3!!" Kiz continued, ending by pointing at Edge, Rabbid Mario, and Dante.

Record Scratch

."Pfft, there's no "love triangle" here!! Right Guys?" "Sì!! Sì..." "Totally!!" The 3 Rabbids responded, all unconvincingly (except to each other.) causing everyone else to roll their eyes in unison. "Anyways, lets open the game!!" He announced. "Question 1!! What is Edge's sword called? Dante!!" Dante's eyes widened. Edge never said she named her sword!! "Uh... Uh... I dunno!!! She never told me!!" He shouted out. Edge hung her head sadly. "Ooh!! Sorry Demon Killer!! But!! Good news for you!!! Rabbid Mario has the chance to steal and save your sorry ass!! Rabbid Mario!! Do you know the answer?" Rabbid Mario didn't hesitate to smack the button and speak. "Flying Blade!!! Final Answer!!" He answered quickly. "Correctomundo!!!" Kiz said. "Next question!!! Rabbid Luigi!!! What's Rabbid Rosalina's Favorite book?" "Bwahcula." "Correct!! But what's her favorite part?" Again, he immediately answered. "The whole story!" "Very good!!! You know your stuff." Rabbid Luigi smirked, and winked at Rabbid Rosalina, who blushed in return. "Question 2!! Who did Edge work for before being indoctrinated into Team Mario? Dante!!" "That Cursa lady right?" Dante answered after buzzing. "Yes!!! But what is Edge exactly?" Dante facepalmed. "You expect me to know that?!" "Rabbid Mario!!" "Uh... I don't-a know either!!!" Edge looked away. But lookes back when Dante spoke up. "Does it even matter? Give me another question." "Fine!!! The name of Edge's shotgun?" "She named it?!" "Yes!! She-a named it the obliterator!! You'd-a know that if you-a knew her!!" Dante glared at Rabbid Mario. "Why're you trying to start a fight man?!" "I'm not!! I'm just-a shocked at how much you don't-a know about our friend!!!" "SHUT IT ASSHAT!!!" Everyone went silent. Dante'd never gotten that loud before, not unless he was doing something cocky. "What the hell is-a wrong with you?" Rabbid Mario asked angrily, with a hint of sincerity. "Nothing Ok?!" Dante shouted. "Just Keep going." "Right... Rabbid Luigi. What's the name of Rabbid Rosalina's father figure?" "Captain Orion!!" "Ooh. I'm gonna stump you soon!!" "Don't count on it!!" Rabbid Rosalina smiled at her boyfriend's resolve. "Question 3!! What is the most embarrassing thing Edge had ever said??" "Oh man... this guy..." Dante began angrily. "Dammit all!! You gave us an impossible question!!" Rabbid Mario shouted angrily. "Sorry, but those aren't the right answers!!" Kiz said, pushing his button, and lowering Edge and Rabbid Rosalina near the net, and filling red liquid jar. Dante gritted his teeth. This was getting harder. And it was getting harder to keep his sanity in check.

"Tick Tock Dante. My spoils draw ever closer, and your allies draw ever closer, to hell that i-" Kiz didn't even get to finish his sentence before he felt a burning in his chest. He looked down to see a gaping hole. Dante stood there, hand out, Devil Trigger pulled. "Ya know, I almost thought that I'd have to play this stupid game to the end. But then I remembered that I already revealed my Devil Trigger to my FREINDS, who ACCEPTED me, for all my flaws and secrets. Here's something to dwell on when you're falling down to hell. I don't need to know all this crazy stuff about my friends. Because contrary to your beliefs, I know my allies, whether I know the name of Edge's gun, or her sword is her business, not mine, not Rabbid Mario's, and Especially not yours. Now fall, sleaze." And with that last word Dante deactivated Devil Trigger. Kiz fell down and started rolling around in pain for a few moments before stopping and coughing up blood. "Shoot, forgot to ask him where our weapons are..."

The group regained their weapons, and Vergil claimed another Devil Arm. They were r walking toward the WM ARC, but, for some reason, even though everyone else was fine, Dante, Edge, and Rabbid Mario refused to speak. After walking silently for quite some time, they reached the gate that led to the ARC. They were all ready to enter, when out of Nowhere, Rabbid Mario felt a sharp pain in his arm. He looked, and saw that he was stabbed in the shoulder. Vergil yelled and rushed toward the assailants, the Spark Hunters. But Rabbid Mario was yanked away at the last second. And the Spark Hunters left, cackling as Vergil grunted, which then turned into a scream of vengeance.
