Vergil, Astaroth, Firebrand and their hoard of monsters were now face to face with the heroes, free from the sealing spell set in place. But off course they feared nothing as their goals remained the same, this was just minor setback.
The skies were still red and black, and the stench of death and evil still covered the areas. The red cloud started to spread like a disease as Dante and others remained untouched. This situation aroused Vergil curiosity as he asked, "We created strong magic to make these citizens and the heroes ours, but you and your friends remained untouched. Why is that?"
"That's easy, I had magic amulet that protected me and buddies from the dark energy. But off course myself and the succubus aren't affected even if the jewel wasn't on me."
"Let's tear them apart and feast on their flesh and bone." Firebrand ordered continuing in demon talk.
Vergil drew his blade. "Humph, it does not matter; your demise is still at hand."
Astaroth and Firebrand started off by blasted a haze of dark fire at the heroes. "Forgive me citizens of Midguard." Thor slammed his hammer realizing shockwave stunning the humanoid monsters.
"We must slay the beast at once!" Arthur announced.
"Yeah, no offense, but I don't think anyone is going find you anymore threatening in your boxers."
"Give me strength!" Arthur called upon the bronze armor.
"That was quick."
With some charging up Arthur blew the humanoid demons away with double tornado's with a single stroke of his palm. As Firebrand was about sink his claws into the young knight, Spider-man quickly caught him and swung the demon. "You know you look like the guy that almost, ruin my marriage. Are you cousins or something?"
He swung Firebrand all over the place using him as a wrecking ball for the enemy monsters demons, and environment.
Dante, Deadpool, and Lady circled Vergil and solid clone duplicates. The two bounty hunters went side by side against the half-demon matching sword style. Off course Dante's and Deadpool were no strangers to sword fighting. Lady took the opportunity to blast a missile to take out one of the clones. Deadpool set a couple grenades in Vergil coat and Dante preformed the final cut.
Arthur and Thor fought the big demon Astaroth. Feeling reminisced; Astaroth started shooting magical lasers from his mouth. Due to his multiple defeats, Astaroth had been craving a rematch as he unleashed every magical projectile he can handle.
"Damn it, we need to draw up more power!" Vergil said stricken from the attacks.
"It appears I have underestimated them." Astaroth agreed.
"Why don't you give up little brother, I would hate to half to hurt you more like last time." Dante offered.
Vergil gritted his teeth as drew up more power to his chest. "This ends now Dante, father's dream will be realized and you won't stop us." The light purged Vergil, Astaroth, and Firebrand existence. It started to transform them into more demonic beings giving them more power than before.
Astaroth spouted demon wings from his back, Vergil was now in his devil trigger form, and Firebrand transformed into his legendary form, growing more muscular and more vicious nature.
Dante shook his head, "Come on bro, you really think a new makeover is going to save you?"
Deadpool laughed, "Makeover, yeah good one Dante, because he's even more ugly then before. Hey Vergil if there was an ugly list, you would be in the top five."
"It matter not what new body you take Astaroth, your defeat is still at hand." Arthur shouted.
"You know you would look good in a before and after commercial." Spidey said to Firebrand.
However, it didn't take them long to be knocked back by the villains, as they realize that their attacks was doing little damage among the villains. With the aroma of black magic, in the air it only made then stronger and the heroes weaker.
"Foolishness Dante, foolishness, did you really think you can win, again?" Vergil said.
Now each and one of them were already on their knees as their strength was being drained from under them. Once again Vergil and Astaroth had planned for this moment upon their arrival. "Dude, when did your brother become so strong like this?"
"He was strong, but not like this, all of our attacks are useless against them." Dante replied.
"Your efforts of futile against us mortals, you cannot win!" Firebrand exclaimed.
Astaroth laughed, "I suppose even the might of thunder god can fall in our hands. You'll make good general for our army."
"Nye, I will never work with the likes of you villain, even if my life ended." Thor shot back.
Firebrand looked around for Chun Li, "Where are the other humans?" he quickly got the idea and ordered the monsters to search for Chun Li.
Chun Li and Morrigan fought her way through curses from the magicians trying to save Arthur's princess from being a sacrificed. As Firebrand caught up to her, Chun Li grabbed a straight sword and smashed on or the artifacts giving off deadly aroma as Firebrand blasted fireballs trying to stop her.
The red demon continued to blast endlessly, even if he was missing the target and shooting other monsters instead. While being chased, she continued to smash every magic artifact at time, and even avoided a close call with fireball attack as it nearly burned her. It left a mark on her arm, but nothing too serious.
She was then cut to corner with Firebrand on top and behind her was Woo, a monstrous bear like creature. Both of the mouths charged up with devastating fire blaze attack, they were ready to burn her alive. "If Peter can do it, so can I. Now I got to time this right."
"Will you be okay dear?" Morrigan asked with little concern.
"It's only a scratch, but I'll be fine, thanks for covering me." She replied.
Before the fire touch her clothes, she leaped up the ceiling, causing Firebrand and Woo attacks to collide. With half of the dark energy out of the way, Princess Guinevere had woken up from her deep sleep. It only took a moment for Chun Li to explain the situation to her.
"I hear you now." Arthur yelled appearing in his solid golden armor and summoning lighting down on his foe. He felt his princess calling out to him. Princess Guinevere used her magic bracelet to restore everyone's strength and give them additional power to match their enemies.
"How's about we try that again, eh brother?" Dante said twirling his guns.
Vergil felt nothing after seeing Dante back on his feet. "It makes no difference, I am still stronger then you."
Once again Dante, Deadpool and Lady took on Vergil. This time, they used more speed and agility to match his samurai style. Left and right the two bounty hunters went against him. Sparks went off and blades screeched in battle. After Vergil cut down missile attack, Lady struck him in the crest (no doubt crashing some organs) with her Bazooka weapon.
"Time for the grand finale!" Dante and Deadpool shouted together doing double damage to Vergil.
Spider-Man evaded most of Firebrand's attacks by climbing up the walls and even his air strikes. Firebrand hunted Spider-Man as he was Arthur. "You know you and JJ would have something in common." Spider-Man grabbed can liquid nitrogen and tossed it at Firebrand. This left the red Arremer frozen in thick ice as Spider-Man webbed up his wings to prevent escape. "You both like to run your mouth so much, but who am I to talk?"
With the power of lighting Thor and Arthur combined their strengths against Astaroth. Astaroth would not give up as his threw every projectile attack he can at Thor and Arthur from head to torso.
"Your treachery ends now demon. For the Princess!" Arthur created a large number of explosions, and a dragon made of blue flames."
"For Midguard!" Thor created tornado of lighting combined with the dragon.
With all the occult artifacts destroyed and the Princess Guinevere power restored, the demons were now being sucked back to the underworld. Most of the monsters were turned back into human form as well as the Avengers. And the dark aroma surrounding the human world started to vitiate, thus everything was returned to normal. After thanking the heroes for their efforts, Arthur and his princess went back to their own world, and Thor helped out the Avengers recover.
Later on, young trick or treaters roamed the streets for the holiday with no memory of every being turned into monsters. Most of which consisted of dressing up as their favorite Marvel superhero or even Capcom heroes. Nonetheless, it was an event day especially on Halloween like this.
"Sweet, it's still in session. Aw… look at those little munchkins are back in their cute little costumes, so who's up for crashing Halloween party?" Deadpool ranted. "The night is still young for entertainment. The Deadpool Brigade should celebrate for our victory. Drinks and snacks will even be on me. Come on whose hungry, I know the author is for some candy."
Lady sighed, even if she was not social type, "Well if you insist, then I'll go along if Dante goes, just as long as it's not Pizza or Strawberry Sundaes."
Dante scoffed, "Hey, you got something against Pizza?"
Morrigan nodded her head, "Sounds like fun, I could use some refreshments."
"We'll go too." Chun Li said along with Spider-Man.
In the meantime, while the dimension portal sent the demons back to their dark realm. It didn't return Vergil back to the Netherworld. Instead it took him to the country of Japan. It didn't know how or why, but he didn't question it. Upon there, he stumbled across an ancient temple to discover an old samurai sword similar to his own.
As her grasped the blade, he felt a surge of energy coursing through his blood. It merged with his Yamato sword. "So this is the Muramasa Blade I've read so much about in this world? Whatever the case, this loss has opened the door to many victories. Don't think you and your allies are out of the woods yet Dante, savor your win while it last."
