With one last shot, Joel was able to take down Nikki. Her spells were annoying, but it was nothing compared to the dangers of his world. While making sure he finished the job, he failed to notice the incoming Patapon. He was alerted to them when they exploded. He turned to see Isaac aiming his gun at where the Patapon once stood. "You come to finish me next?" Isaac pointed behind him. "I think it would be better if we took care of that first." Joel turned to where Isaac was pointing, and saw Knack tearing down turrets faster than Emmett can put them up. "Good point, let's get him."
Jak was having trouble. Despite his weaponry, he was having a hard time taking down Heihachi. Heihachi was able to knock the gun away from him before he could get a proper shot. If it wasn't for Daxter distracting him, they would have been beaten a while ago. "You call that fighting? I could beat with both hands and my tail tied behind my back! You have no cha-" BOOM! A sudden rocket blasted Heihachi in the side and shot him away. Daxter turned to see Ratchet and Clank approaching. "What was that for? I was about to win!" Everyone just rolled their eyes as Heihachi struggled to get up. "You dare to use such a dirty trick against the King of Iron - " A quick shot from Jak's Peacemaker quickly silenced him. "Ha! See that, Tin Can? That is how you do it!"
"Do we really have to continue calling me that?"
"OK, I'll stop if you can be as heroic as Orange - "
Daxter's sudden silence came as a surprise. A second later Jak and Ratchet saw something fall by their heads. They grabbed them and saw in horror that it was the heads of their partners. They turned to find out who did this only to see Dante doing a return swipe as the last thing they ever saw.
"Man, these things were to be taken seriously? What a joke." Dante then saw three blades pointed at him. "Perhaps we can be of more amusement." Cloud, Nariko, and Raiden surrounded him. "Don't you think it's a little unfair in terms of numbers? Don't worry, I can fix that." In a flash, Dante activated his Devil Trigger, taking everyone off guard. Raiden, who was the least used to magic, was the most surprised. "Wha - ?" was all he had time to say before Dante sliced off his limbs and stuck his blade straight through his chest. As Cloud and Nariko tried to comprehend this new speed and power and tried to defend themselves, Dante gave off a smirk. "Now it seems a little more fair, doesn't it?"
