A Continuation to Episode 228

It was a fun day at the beach and a fire was built where the group was making smores. Everyone were wearing clothes over their swimsuits since it had gotten cold as the sun had set and the stars were out in full view making such a beautiful sight on the waters. Tōshirō was keeping away from the fire, but was being fed a small plate of smores by Rangiku.

Ichigo sandwiches a toasted marshmallow between two graham crackers with a small piece of chocolate. "I have to admit... this was a fun day."

"Ignoring the living monster watermelons," Renji adds.

Toshiro was about to speak, but the air suddenly turned dark and heavy with a foul presence. The sudden appearance of an evil-enshrouded castle/tower in the distance (and also drastically affecting the weather) was a major cause for concern.

"Wh-what in the world is that?"

"I have no clue, but I do not like this dark feeling that hangs in the air," Tōshirō spoke up.

"We should investigate," Shunsui took command.

Everybody had gotten up and ran to the towering construct in the distance. Something more evil-feeling other than Hollow energy was detected at the castle/tower.

"The barriers are still in place after so long, but they are weak."

"I'll soon be able to resurrect the demon power that was sealed in this construct centuries ago by the Demon Lord InuTaishō. And then I will destroy the demon, devour the energy and become powerful enough to rival that of Abigail's power..." The cloaked being turns to face the lowly underlings. "Prepare the rituals. No doubt the low-leveled demons will awaken as soon as we tamper with the seals in place and defend the main gate from opening..."

They all vanish and he stares back at the construct, before large bat-like wings spread behind him and he levitates off the ground. He sees seals starting to etch themselves into the ground, the demonic tower/castle energy leaking into the surrounding area. A soft growl can be heard, the wind blowing with gale-force to the tune of the demon awakening from the first-level seals.

"No one will stop me."

"Oh yeah?"

The winged being turns around and catches the glimpse of a smirk on a hooded man.

"You!"

"Yes," taunts the man, pointing unto himself. "Me. To think a Hell Gate exists here other than the one destroyed at Mt. Fuji. Then again, as a demon hunter I can't really allow someone like you attempting the take-over of the world shtick."

"I have protection from this castle's defense with the one key needed to break the Main Gate. You on the other hand... have none!"

Seals begin to glow brighter and form around the round clearing, giving the trees an unholy glow as a louder roar splits the skies.

"Just try and stop me from obtaining the power that rivals Abigail's, demon hunter!" the winged being shouts as it retreats to the skies, evading gunshots fired from the man.

He stops and pulls back his hood exposing exotic violet eyes and short blond hair with a long rope-braided ponytail wrapped with white taping.

"Ugh... great... Dante you're late!" he yells out to the woods.

After a few seconds of silence, a man with short white hair carrying a large broadsword walks into the clearing as smoke rises from two of the brightest glowing seals.

"Hey, I got here in time, didn't I? Besides you ran ahead while I took care of those Scarecrows that broke from the ground."

A demon a size larger than the two hunters arose under shooting flames, roaring to the skies. He was a bat-like demon with purple curved dagger-like horns connect from the top of the humanoid head and curve back over the top, sharply juts downward from behind the head, before curving back upward like horns. Crests line the sides shaped like bat wings, and has long shoulder-length graying blue hair. His torso was clad in a thick armor of sorts, with large gold rings cutting off at the shoulders with large wings. The edges of those wide wings were tipped with gray finger-clawed appendages, while around the top forming similar to a collar, were gray claw-tipped thumbs. It is wearing blue venom lipstick, and the whites of his eyes are golden yellow with red iris and radiant violet snake-like pupils. They glow with malice. The legs reminded Dante of a dog's, but packed with muscle and from the knees below covered with a shaggy black fur with hidden quill-like spines. The clawed feet look it could easily crush thick metal beams. Dirty bandages wrap around the lower stomach and crotch area.

"I thought I smelled his blood. The old blood of Sparda," the bat demon grumbles, glaring down upon Dante.

"So, you know my old man, then?" Dante questions the demon.

"He and InuTaishō, they were old comrades-in-arms from a time long ago. Sparda was an absolute fool to allow himself be swayed from the path, and defend the lowly wretched humans from eradication!"

He exposes under a portion of his armor an ugly scar. A scar that greatly angers the demon to memories from a past time...

"That Dark Knight gave me this scar before InuTaishō sealed me away into this castle along with my master's power. I will not allow myself to be sealed no more! With or without my master, the humans have long since existed! Now is my time!"

Dante silences the demon with a gunshot, shattering the top of his left horn.

"Yo, why don't you just shut up and die already, bat boy?"

"My name is Kazeshini Hellbat! AND YOU HUNTERS ARE MY FOOD!"

Closing the armor he takes to the skies roaring, and crackling with electricity gathering around the claws. This was the sight Ichigo and company came to after they got past the small demons that blocked their path. Kazeshini sends down many bolts of lightning but Dante and Sekai were grinning as they sprint to evade the lightning strikes.

"Hey Sekai! First to kill this freak gets pizza from the other's wallet!" Dante calls out a bet.

"Really? Betting at a time like this Dante? Doncha think you should keep track of your debt, first?"

"Now where would the fun be," He cuts himself off to block the demon's slash attack, then pushes it back and slices hard. Blood is spilt as it flies back, "If we can't have a little risk now and then?"

Sekai laughs before taking aim with a demonic-empowered sawed-off shotgun.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

What did Ichigo and company just got involved with?
