(A/N: This is it! The moment you have been waiting for! The legendary demon slayer Dante does battle one-on-one with the chosen general of Hell's army Spawn! Who will win? Is the fight really that good? Does it really suck? Read & review!)
Dante turned to face the demon and sure enough he got more then what he bargained for. He looked the demon over. It's red cape being blown by some strange wind. Those bright, pure green eyes staring a hole right through him.
"Is this it? Is this the jerk-off looking for me?" The voice was so deep and so demonic sounding but at the same time lost and lonely.
Dante looked at him with a stand-off stance. He tightened his fists right into black-gloved hammers and stared at the demon. "Yeah, I'm the jerk-off!"
Cogliostro spoke from behind Dante, "Listen Hell Spawn, this guy is not to be taken lightly. He's taken down more demons then you could ever imagine!"
Those green eyes didn't even twitch. "I'm not scared of this pansy!"
Dante slowly unsheathed his sword and just shot a sick smile at him. "You should be!"
The fight was on! They both went at each other like charging bulls. Cogliostro faded off into the shadows and Dante and Spawn were left to battle.
Swinging his sword back, Dante held to it firm but two chains came out of the dark mass that was Spawn. They latched onto Dante's sword and flung him right into one of the brick walls that made up the alleyway. Dante made an imprint in it but did not go through. He fell to the ground with Spawn's chains still wrapped around his sword. Spawn picked him up by his sword and slammed him into another wall. Again, Dante fell to the ground like a dead piece of meat. If he was human he probably would have been killed right then and there.
Jumping back up and in one quick, fluid motion he sheathed his sword and pulled out his guns. Ebony and Ivory roared out as he blasted the black mass that was the Hell Spawn and Al was rocked by the bullets. He was knocked back so much that he crashed right through a brick wall behind himself. He laid there and began to shake off the rubble. Dante just stepped over the collapsed brick wall with a deadly swagger.
Spawn wrapped his chains around Dante's feet and tripped him. He fell right onto his back and Spawn got right on top of him. His chains produced small blades which began to rotate on the metal having the effect of a chainsaw. He moved his chains right up to Dante's face and began moving them closer to it. Dante had Ivory up to block the chains as he struggled to find a good position to shoot the demon. The chains meanwhile were producing a wave of sparks from hitting the gun.
Dante finally got Ebony into Spawn's ribs and began shooting violently into his body. Spawn rolled off Dante and again; in one fluid motion, he put his guns back, unsheathed his sword, and slammed it right for Spawn's face.
A huge blade shot out of Spawn's hand and blocked Dante's blade. The two metals crashed against each other both of unearthly origin. Spawn knocked Dante off and about back to his feet. He was now standing upright as another black blade sprouted out of his other hand. Spawn went at Dante with the two blades like a mad swordsman maniac. Dante blocked all the assaults with his sword and they fought like that all the way back to the entrance of Rat City.
There, Spawn's blades sucked back inside his hands and Dante tore out his guns and put his sword back. Dante began a shooting barrage but Spawn dodged every bullet and wrapped his chains around Dante's throat. He lifted him into the air by the neck and squeezed as hard as he could with his chains. Dante about dropped his guns as he was choked almost into unconsciousness. Spawn slammed Dante into another brick wall but this one Dante went straight through.
He flew right into a factory that was making sharp metal objects. He crashed through three conveyer belts leaving a path of destroyed metal. He wasn't quite sure what the sharp metal objects were but they were all different shapes and sizes. His body came to a halt at about the forth conveyer belt.
Spawn came flying in through the hole in the wall right after him. If there were any people working in the factory they were all gone now. Dante had only a split second to react before the demon would be right on top of him again. He rolled right out of the way and Spawn crashed right through the conveyer belt Dante was under. It didn't effect him much and he stood right up. His cape still being fluttered by that weird wind.
Dante then saw Spawn's cape tails begin to outstretch and extend. They slide on the conveyer belts like two red, demon snakes. Dante got up on his feet and shot at the tails. They retracted almost hissing at Dante.
Hell's reluctant general launched himself after the failed attempt with his cape tails and grabbed Dante's throat with his hand. He slammed him right into a wall. Dante's body cracked the wall horribly and Spawn began to squeeze his throat.
Dante aimed his guns right for the chest but two of Spawn's chains hooked onto the guns and threw them clear across the room. After that, the chains latched onto his hands and began to turn his wrists to the point of breakage. Spawn began growing spikes on his hand that had Dante by the throat. Spawn looked right into his stone blue eyes with his pure green ones and simply said, "Slay this!"
Feeling the spikes poking his throat, Dante knew Spawn was going to thrust them straight through. He turned his leg a bit and kicked Spawn as hard as he could in the knee and heard something crack. Dante dropped to the ground and Spawn about lost his footing. The red, trench-coated son of Sparda rolled twice and grabbed his guns. He aimed them right at Spawn but Spawn grabbed his own knee and cracked it right back into place.
Dante began another barrage of bullets but Spawn just jumped right onto the piping structure of the building close to the roof. He then moved on it like a fast-paced lizard on a tree limb. His cape dragging behind him like misshapen red wings. Dante kept shooting and shooting as much as he could.
Suddenly, The cape extended from Spawn and covered half of the room's ceiling. Dante lowered his guns in surprise. The cape began to enfolded Dante's body and wrapped him up like a red-wrapped mummy. It hoisted him up to the top and muffled grunts came from the demon slayer. Spawn just looked at him squirm as he grappled the piping like an animal.
Then, The slayer blasted out of the cape like a burning phoenix. Dante had a red ora around him and aimed his guns straight for Spawn. Spawn was so shocked that before he could launch a counter-offensive, Dante blasted him right out of the building. Spawn crashed through the top of the building and crashed on the street below.
Dante watched as he slammed through the brick by the force of his guns. Green, neon blood spraying from the uncountable number of bullet wounds. Dante holstered his guns and walked with his trademark swagger out to the demon.
When he got outside, Spawn was gone. He saw the hole that he had made but no demon. Dante ripped out his sword and looked around. Twisting his head right and left. Looking franticly for the demon.
Suddenly, two huge pillars of metal blasted out of the ground on both sides of him. He knew it was the demon. What he was up to - Dante had no idea. Then, green lighting blasted out of the top of the metal pillars and began electrocuting Dante. The Hell Spawn bursted out of the ground and when he did, his cape was morphed into those metal pillars. His cape was normal on him but the more it flowed out, the more metallic it got until it was just the pillars.
The green lighting lifted the demon slayer into the air as he wailed in pain. Spawn watched in sick calm delight as the slayer got barbequed. The slayer's eyes began to glow red and he gained control of his body again. That red ora came over him again and Dante twisted his sword towards the green electricity. The bolts bounced off Dante's blade and hit Spawn right in the chest. It knocked him back right into a glass building across the street.
The son of Sparda watched the metal pillars form back into the demon's cape and go with him. Spawn had flown right over the traffic and right into the glass building. He crashed right through about seven cubicals until coming to a stop by some elevator doors.
He got up and shook the glass off of him. He stared at the red trench-coated menace as now Dante had that red aura dissipate and his eye were back to normal too. Dante stared at Spawn with intense eyes.
People were stopping their cars in mid-traffic to look at the two. They were both in broad daylight so they could be seen by anybody who stopped to take a look. Dante and Spawn both looked at the spectators. Dante didn't even turn his gaze off the green orbs of Spawn's eyes. "I suggest that you people get out of here - now!"
Spawn's gaze never faltered from Dante. "You heard him people! Assholes and elbows!"
Some people got right back in their cars and took off. Others stayed to take pictures and stair at the two. Dante shrugged his shoulders, "I tried."
Spawn's cape floated under traffic and grabbed a hold of Dante's ankles. It tripped him while still keeping a tight grip on him. Dante put his arms up in front of him still keeping his grip on his sword. The cape dragged him under the traffic towards Spawn. Dante bounced lightly off the road as he was dragged. He hit cars and sent them flying. Most people in the area began to run. While other people in cars slammed on their brakes to stop from hitting halted traffic.
Dante was dragged right into the office building and flung into a side desk by a wall. He crashed through it and about had his head go right through the wall.
Dante pulled his head out of the small hole caused by the crash and arose to his feet quite stunned. His balance was off but he quickly regained it.
He charged the demon with his sword pointed right for Spawn's heart. Spawn's chains shot out to meet the sword but both of them were knocked away by the blade. Dante drove the point straight into Spawn's chest and a blast of green blood flowed out of the penetration point. Spawn was knocked back as his body weight hung on the sword. Dante drove the sword in deeper and Spawn howled in pain. Dante had the sword driven right through his body as the other end was dripping with green blood. Spawn was hardly dead.
Dante almost had the hilt as well driven through when Spawn grabbed Dante's face. "I'm not dead yet, jerk-off!" He began sinking his black-clawed hand right into Dante's face. He then turned, with Dante still in-hand, and slammed him into the closest wall. Dante was sent straight through but still kept his grip on his sword.
The demon slayer was sent through four buildings' walls as Spawn drove him through each one more forcefully then the last. Finally, Dante was knocked loose from his own sword. He landed on some tiling floor in a tattoo parlor. He looked up at Spawn and Spawn grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled the blade from his body. He threw it on the ground and the sword bobbled on the floor by Dante's feet. Spawn knelt on one knee as green blood spilled out of his body. The wound healed fast though but Spawn was still feeling the effects of the sword as he almost laid in the green puddle.
Dante furiously picked up the sword and got off the ground. He lifted his sword high in the air to chop off Spawn's head but Spawn grabbed the slayer's sword before it got an inch to his neck. He then twisted his hand with Dante's hand in his grasp, that held the sword, and broke the slayer's wrist. Dante yelled in pain and came around with his leg and kicked Spawn.
Spawn was sent flying right out a huge, display glass window and hit a station wagon on the other end of the road. The station wagon was sent spinning away while Spawn hit an opposite building from the tattoo parlor.
Dante dropped his sword from his broken wrist. He grabbed his wrist with his other hand and snapped it back into place. Dante spun his previously broken wrist to see if it was okay. After he was sure it was working, he picked the sword back up with a vengeance.
He walked out the door and saw Spawn was covered in people taking pictures. He began walking across the road not giving one thought to traffic. As he approached, the gathered crowd around the demon was blasted away by some kind of enormous green-lit dome. He saw Spawn standing in the midst of it. He backed off from the powerful green dome that surged with energy. Dante's body began to light up with red fire. The green dome began to engulf his body and Spawn's green-lit eyes were pulsating with power.
The green dome encircled the slayer and as Dante screamed with pain from the power of the dome, he saw in the midst of it, that his hands and sword were starting to dissolve! They were melting off his body like they were dunked in acid! He felt his whole body begin to fade away from the acid effects of the green dome. Dante screamed as Spawn watched from afar his red, trench-coated nemesis melt away. Spawn knew that if he kept this up Dante would be turned into a small puddle of red and white skin-colored ooze.
Dante's dissolving hands began to shake as a bright red light shot out of Dante's eyes. It almost looked like his eyes had been blown right of his sockets. The beams stretched to at least the other side of buildings were Spawn was. Suddenly, Dante's screaming began to become powerful in nature and an enormous red beam enfolded Dante and shot straight into the sky with a magnitude that blew away the green dome that enfolded him. Spawn put his arms up to block his eyes from the bright red glow. The magnitude of the explosion of red light blew him back against the building and back down on the ground.
The red beam blew through the clouds in the sky right into almost Heaven itself. Spawn could hear Dante screaming in the big, thick, red pillar of light. Suddenly, the beam retracted itself and faded back down into the slayer's body. Dante stood in the middle of the wreaked road. He was panting hard and was exhausted. He was back to normal. His eyes were okay, his hands were back to their original solid selves and his whole body looked as nothing had happened but the landscape around the two told a different story.
Dante looked at Spawn and as he was still panting he asked, "Who are you?"
Spawn's head shook with fiery and he asked the same in both shock and anger. "Who the hell are you?" Spawn's spikes on his hands began to grow in size as they no longer became spikes but short dagger-looking blades. Dante grasped the hilt of his sword with both hands like a baseball bat and held it above his head.
Spawn dashed at Dante and took a slash at him with those dagger looking blades on his fists while Dante did his best to block them. They both slashed at each other all the way down the street. Until they came to a four way stop intersection.
Dante and Spawn both backed off in exhaustion. They looked at each other as both were wondering what they had to do to put the other down for good. They both knew they had to go to some extreme drastic measures.
Spawn was thinking what to do until he got an idea. A good one. His dagger like spikes went back to their normal size. He then enfolded himself in his cape and it turned into a silver reflective cover. It covered his entire body and it took the shape of an egg. It then floated above Dante and stayed about ten feet above him. Then, on the sides of the silver egg cover, came two long chains. They grew small blades on them and interlocked each other forming a huge circle in front of the metal shell. Like a strange, chain-metal clock. They began to spin creating a suction. Slow at first but speeding up with every passing moment.
Dante looked at in horror. He had fought plenty of demon's over the years but never anything like this.
As the chains spun faster, Dante felt suction from the things. They began to drag in cars and trees. These things were ripped apart by the spinning chains shear velocity. Dante then felt his body move with out him moving it. He was going to be dragged into the chains.
They kept sucking in debris as they kept getting faster. Dante had to think fast. He took his sword high in the air and planted it deep into the ground. With his free hand he took out one of his guns and began shooting up at the rotating chains. The bullets hit the moving chains and even the protective, silver egg casing but all they did was make green reflective sparks off the chains and casing.
Dante could feel that even though his sword was deeply planted he was still moving. His feet suddenly flew into the air as the suction became stronger and the chains moved faster. Dante dangled from the hilt of his sword as he gripped it for dear life. He kept shooting at the chains As they spun around like a violent, metal whirlwind.
Even glass was being broken out of frames and sucked into the chain-whirl-saw. Buildings started to bend in the wake of it. Bricks began to fly off others and tore to millions of pieces when they hit the chains. There were no people in the area so there were no people being dragged into the whirl chains.
Dante was now close to being sucked right out of the ground as the chains increased in speed again. The sword was slowly sliding out of the ground. Dante kept the barrage of bullets going until he was ripped straight out of the ground.
He flew towards the spinning chains as they hungrily awaited to devour him like everything else that had entered their path. Dante spun right up to them caught in their suction. Dante had only one hope of avoiding their killer vortex; he had to do it just right.
He came mere centimeters to crashing into the chains when suddenly a red aura came around him quickly. He stalled in the middle of the suction and drove his sword down on the chains as they spun. The chains fought against the blade to keep spinning but Dante's sword was too strong. The chains teeth caught on the bladed and ripped themselves right off. The little blades flew into their own vortex and destroyed themselves. The chains suddenly exploded with green-colored fire and both Dante and the silver egg casing were thrown into opposite directions.
Almost going through a building while the casing crashed through the top floor of a building, Dante was sent deep into the back street. He was punched into the sidewalk right next to another random building. He got up with much effort and shook off the effects. He looked at the edge of his sword and not a scratch was on it. He slightly smiled at this, holstered the gun he was shooting at the chains with, and began to walk over to the street were the casing was sent into.
When he got over to the street he saw a small crater in the street. He walked over and looked inside. He saw in a heap at the bottom was Spawn. Dante ripped out his guns. He began blasting in the hole and made a mess of the demon. Spawn's body became a mutilated, neon green carcass. Dante did not halt the shower of bullets either. Spawn's green blood flowed from the hole and he became engulfed in it.
Dante finally got tired of firing his guns and fell to one knee with his attention to the ground. He was exhausted. He put back his guns and drew out his sword again. He was ready to kill this demon. Dante sensed something strange though. That Spawn was gone. Dante stood up, beat to near unconciousness, and looked back in the hole and all he saw was a big puddle of green blood. He looked around but the demon was gone. Dante was so frustrated that he almost went into a psychotic frenzy but he kept his composure and sheathed his sword. He then walked away, leaving for good.
