AN: Oh it has been some time since I updated this and for that I apologize. Many things happened that prevented me from writing anything. Last time we pitted the vampire hunters Blade and Alucard, but the No-Life King made short of the Daywalker. Our next fight should be fun. Welcome to another edition of MFC!
Chapter 3: The Half Demons (Inuyasha vs Dante)
Realm of the Challenger
"What the hell do you mean you are winning?!" yelled Inuyasha at the Devil Hunter who just merely smiled at him. Alucard only laughed at this exchange and walked away. To everyone else it was made clear that Alucard was very powerful and would be difficult to defeat. All of this amused Zeizara. The Gamemaster had created a masterpiece of a tourney. The question was who would end up winning in the end. With that in mind he sat up from his marble throne.
"That was an excellent showing Master Alucard. Let us see who will be your next opponent shall we. Will Mr. Dante and Mr. Inuyasha step forward so we may begin the next battle." Said Overseer Zeizara with a devilish smile. Both Dante and Inuyasha walked towards the beacon and disappeared in a flash of light.
"I don't like this. Something seems off about this whole place." Said Batman as he saw Zeizara's demeanor and then looked at the other fighters. Vampires, ninjas, bounty hunters, demons, and other heroes in one place to fight each other to save their own worlds.
"Thing is I think that's the point of this place." Said Riddick as he went into the shadows to learn more info about the others. Then above them the large crystal showed them the two combatants in a wooded area nearby a field of long grass. The sun was bright and there was a nice breeze in the area.
Elsewhere
The cave was dark and full of decay with the only light that could be seen was from candles. But then there was a collection of glowing green eyes appeared and with a flash of red light several "humanoid" beings appeared. Their skin was pale green with some with crude tattoos, stringy black hair, fanged teeth, and claws. Their bodies looked emaciated, but looks were definitely deceiving. Clothes were no more than makeshift armor made of metal and bone. These were the dreaded demons the Overseer's had long sealed away in the Nether-Void, the Vara.
"Lord Deceiver your plan was a success!" screeched a Vara soldier as the taller Vara with one eye turned around with a sinister grin.
"It took us some time, but we are free from the Nether-Void." Said The Deceiver as he waved his hand over the candle's flame. It singed his hand a bit, but that only made him smile more. They were free.
"Now we just need to free the others and then get our Master." Screeched the Vara joyfully.
"NO! Not yet my people. In order for our Master's plan to work we must use the shadows to our advantage. It's true we are free, but if we release our full army now well the wretched Overseers will have taken our master's heart to where we would never find it. No, we will use deception first to take back our master's heart, and then he will unleash our fury upon our enemies. We will bathe the Multiverse with the blood of our enemies." Said The Deceiver darkly as the Vara roared in agreement to this. With this one of the Vara disappeared in a flash to gather intel on their enemies. From afar the Heart of the Warlord began to pulse more now with a red glow.
Feudal Japan-Inuyasha's realm
He was home again. The smell of cherry blossoms in the air helped him adjust immediately. When he opened his eyes he saw the bored expression of Dante. With a sniff, Inuyasha smelled that Dante was not fully human. Only one thing came to mind and that was his opponent was also a half demon.
"Are you done sniff about Dog Boy? I mean this place is ok although I have no clue where we are." Said Dante with his arms crossed behind his head.
"Dog Boy?! Nobody calls me that save for Kagome…sometimes. Anyway this is my home." Said Inuyasha annoyed. Just as Dante was about to say something as Overseer Uboka appeared.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO THE SECOND FIGHT OF THE MULTIVERSE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP! I AM OVERSEER UBOKA THE VOICE. TO MY LEFT IS THE HALF DEMON INUYASHA. SON OF THE DOG DEMON LORD AND BROTHER TO SESSHOMARU, MASTER OF THE TETSUSAIGA, AND THE SLAYER OF NARAKU! HIS OPPONENET TO MY RIGHT IS DANTE THE DEVIL HUNTER. THE SON OF THE DEMON LORD SPARDA, BROTHER TO VERGIL, AND SLAYER OF MUNDUS! BOTH ARE MASTER SWORDSMEN IN THEIR OWN RIGHT, BOTH ARE HALF DEMONS, BUT ONLY ONE MAY REIGN SUPREME. NOW LET THE FIGHT BEGIN!" came the booming voice of Uboka.
CLANG! The clash between both Rebellion and Tetsusaiga showered sparks as both warriors attacked each other. In strength they both seemed easily matched, but in speed Inuyasha had the Devil Hunter beat. In order for him to win this fight, Dante will need to use his with against Inuyasha. The field highly favored the Dog Boy, but the forest should be a big help in Dante's plan. Dante then kicked up sand in his opponents face and made a run into the forest.
"Awe come on! Fight like a man." Yelled Inuyasha as he rubbed the sand out of his eyes.
"Come find me little Doggy and then we will see who is the REAL man haha." Came Dante's voice further ahead. Inuyasha took off trying to find Dante's scent. There it was! Further up north to a small clearing. Why did he pick this spot? These were the thoughts that came across Inuyasha's mind. BANG BANG! Bullets were flying all around him and some hit him in the arm and leg. Groaning in pain Inuyasha looked up to see Dante standing on one of the bigger branches in the tree carrying two pistols.
"Like them Dog Boy? Their names are Ebony and Ivory. Never leave home without them." Said Dante with a confident smile. It was then he made a mistake in underestimating his adversary.
"WINDSCAR!" roared Inuyasha as he swung his blade to unleash his trademark attack. To his surprise Dante was able to block some of the attack with Rebellion only to be thrown off the branch.
The whole area around him was blown all over the place as if a twister just came by. Not to mention Dante felt like he just got thrashed about for a week nonstop. He noticed that he had multiple cuts on his arms and realized without Rebellion he would be dead or beaten according to MFC rules. This meant turning up the heat as he too noticed Inuyasha was both tired and in pain.
"Gotta admit it man you are strong. But here's the thing I'm not going to hold back anymore. I suggest you do the same." Said Dante cracking his neck.
"Alright you asked for it." Said Inuyasha smugly as he swung his sword.
The battle continued faster this time and almost in no time blood was all around them. Windscar marks all over the clearing while bullets were scattered everywhere. Their clothes now torn apart and by now both exhausted it seemed it would be a tie. Both knew they will have to give into the demon side. Inuyasha tossed aside Tetsusaiga while Dante activated his Devil Trigger. Inuyasha's ferocity was met by Dante's power. Then out of nowhere, Dante pulled out his brother's sword, Yamato. Dante then charged up for one final strike as Inuyasha launched himself. In a flash both fighters were brought to their knees. With his Devil Trigger expired, Dante prepared himself for another attack even though he was done. But then it happened! Inuyasha had collapsed to the ground defeated.
"THE WINNER OF THIS BATTLE IS DANTE! INUYASHA WILL BE SENT TO THE REALM OF IMPRISONMENT UNTIL PHASE 2. THE DEVIL HUNTER WILL ADVANCE TO FACE ALUCARD LATER ON. OVERSEER ZEIZARA HAS CHOSEN THE NEXT COMBATANTS TO BE THE BATTLE OF SWORDSMEN KIRITO AND SOUL REAPER ICHIGO KUROSAKI!" said Overseer Uboka as he teleported both Dante and Inuyasha.
Realm of the Challenger
Appearing before the other fighters was a rejuvenated Dante. He seemed ready to fight the vampire Alucard, but the feeling wasn't mutual. In fact it seemed that he ignored watching the fight from before. Before the others could either congratulate or even discuss the next match, Overseer Zeizara appeared before them angry. Both Kirito and Ichigo seemed ready at first until they saw the Overseer.
"Defiled and betrayed! Someone has added another fighter into this realm! The contest is suspended until I find out who did it. Come out of hiding now!" yelled Zeizara. Walking out of the shadows was a kid in his late teens with white hair, black clothes that looked gothic, wasn't wearing shoes to which you could see his toenails were black as well as his fingernails. He was also holding a black mask that had a zipper over the mouth and only one eyehole. The teen looked at all of them and then cracked his fingers.
"My name is Ken Kaneki." Said the teen almost emotionless.
AN: And so concludes the second battle in MFC! I know some were wondering why Inuyasha didn't use the Backlash Wave or the Adamant Barrage, but thing is Dante doesn't have an attack that could be truly thrown back at him. Wanted it to be more swords. Also it seems somehow the Vara have escaped the Nether-Void. How has this happened?! What plan does The Deceiver have in store and how will it affect the MFC? What's going to happen now with Ken Kaneki coming in? Find out next time on Multiverse Fighting Championship. Next time Chapter 4: The Ghoul & The Parasite. Reviews are always welcome.
