Dante muttered to himself. Dante relaxed and strolled into the mystery barber's shop. The barber emerged from the back to notice Dante standing at the door. "Good day to you sir come for a shave?" he asked. Dante smirked "No, I drove all the way here just to say hi." The barber caught on to his sarcasm and replied "Funny sir, care for something to eat?" Dante spoke "Since you offered got any pizza in this place?" The barber replied "I'll go check in the back." He hurried to the back and opened the fridge. In the fridge was various containers filled with pies. He spoke to himself "Hmm . . . . Priest. . . . No . . . repairman… no . . . salesman . . . no . . . ah pizza man". He looked into the container to find it empty. Then he hurried back to his customer. "Fresh out of pizza I'm afraid." Dante shrugged "Wishful thinking I guess." He said to the barber.
The barber smiled and said "Sorry for the inconvenience sir, Todd at your service." Dante decided to play along with the barber's act and introduced himself. "Names Dante, Todd think you could help me out", pointing to his five o' clock shadow. Todd took one look and said "But of course sir, let me pamper you?" Dante took a step back and thought "What the hell? Then he spoke "A shave will do just fine man no extra stuff." Todd replied "As you wish it will be the closest I ever gave." "Sit sir sit." Dante sat down in the barber chair and looked around the shop, noticing a picture of a lovely blonde hair woman. "So you got a thing for blondes as well Mr. Todd?" The barber who was mixing the shaving cream looked up in response to the question. "Ah that is my precious wife Lucy, she's no longer living in this world I'm afraid." Dante could hear the sadness in the barber's voice. The barber had finished lathering Dante's face and had pulled out his razor. Dante could have sworn he heard the barber whisper to his razor but he disregarded it. That's where things began to get weird.
The barber who was humming as he worked began to sing his tune out loud. "In all of the whole human race/ There are two kind of man and only two. There's the one staying put in his proper place and the other with his foot in the other one's face." Dante was just watching as this barber was shaving his face and twirling around the shop as if he was in a daze of some sort. And then as the barber yelled "Finished" He slashed the razor across Dante's neck. Blood sprayed into the air from the seemingly dead devil hunter's neck. The barber's face now showcased a crimson line with his shirt stained heavily by Dante's blood. The barber turned and cleaned the blood from his face and his razor. "Rest now my friend, rest now forever." The barber received the shock of a life time as Dante jumped up and pushed him to the ground. He held Rebellion at the barber's neck. The barber who was choking on his words managed to get out a few "But how that's impossible." Dante just smirked "Hey buddy I just asked for a shave, no extra stuff." The barber began to tell his tale to Dante with Rebellion ever so close to his neck. The barber was in fact the demon barber of legend Sweeney Todd and he had escaped Hell with two demons earlier that day. He was told if he could kill a devil hunter by the name of Dante, he could be reunited with his family.
Dante just smirked again so I've had a legendary barber come for my head. What's next Hitler with his weird ass mustache, I've got to tell ya my German isn't so good. The barber just questioned the devil hunter "What are you going to do with me now?" Dante looked down at the barber and said "You were missing a line back there in you singing, just happens to be my favorite. "You sir how about a shave?" Dante then sung "Well I've already visited my good friend Sweeney so what's left? Oh right! Welcome to the grave!" With that he brought Rebellion across the barber's neck. As Dante was getting his things a bright light came into the shop. Dante recognized the figure as the woman in the picture with her long yellow hair.
