"Talk"

'Thought'

At some sort of dock near the ocean, with many large metal shipping crates and cargo, there seems to be a lot of "paranormal activities" happening at this location. The place is completely filled with demonic enemies, though they seem to be hiding and just seem to be focusing on survival. Evidence by the many captured dogs and cats that are being gathered and being prepared to be made into a feast, judging by the large fire and the big iron cauldron. The many devils watch with hungry expressions and drooling lips, no doubt already eager to eat. However, before one of the many unfortunate kittens or puppies was dropped into the boiling water, multiple speeding bullets could be seen flying down from above and instantly piercing the demonic creature that held the animal, which it dropped and let it go anyway. Though, none of the other hellish monsters chased after it, as they were now too focused on the one who had interrupted their cooking.

"Never been an animal person before."

Standing above one of the many crates and looking down at the large horde of demons, there was no one else but a man in a red coat and holding two guns in each hand, known as Ebony and Ivory; clearly he was the one responsible for filling up the demons with bullet holes.

"But even I can tell this is just messed up."

The many demons didn't have a chance to process what they had heard, before suddenly being sliced into bits by the man in red, who was now wielding a very large sword called the Rebellion.

"Now then, who is ready to party?"

The man in red stood up straight and looked at the horde of demons with a very carefree smile, clearly wanting to enjoy what he was about to do. The demons' growls made them get ready to jump him.

"Oh, can I join in?~"

However, before an epic battle could occur between the demons and the man in red, all of the said demonic beings were suddenly crushed and turned into pancakes and mush, which definitely startled him

"I even brought snacks~"

And the one responsible for all this, was none other than a certain man, older than the one in red and wearing black clothes, but he also had white hair like him, though that was about it in commonalities, and what stood out about him, besides holding a bag of food, was the blindfold covering his eyes, which somehow seemed not to prevent him from seeing.

"Not really a party anymore if you don't leave anyone alive to celebrate with."

The man in red, while being a bit surprised at first, soon lost interest once he realized there was no more demons to style on, so he placed his sword on his back and simply started walking away

"Awww, come on, two people can still be enough to have fun~"

The blindfolded man pouts, having been ignored, and tries to convince the man in red to stay with him

"With me, Satoru Gojo~"

The blindfolded man, now known as Satoru Gojo, pointed at himself to prove a point

"And you, Son Of Sparda: Dante~..."

Then points at the man in red, now known as Dante, who immediately paused his walk once he realized what Gojo just said

"Surprised how I know about you? Well, to be honest it did take a bit to realize your existence, especially after digging around your old home-"

Before Gojo could carelessly explain how he knew the Son of Sparda's identity, gunshots were heard and bullets aimed at his knees and shoulders came flying in, though they immediately paused in mid-air a few inches from touching him.

"-Ah right, how careless of me."

Gojo realized his mistake when he mentioned invading the man in red's old home, evidenced by his glaring and holding Ebony in his hand

"What do you want from me?..."

Dante put away his gun after seeing how useless it was against Satoru and just asked what the man in black wanted

"I am here to recruit you to Tokyo Jujutsu High-"

Gojo tried to explain, but was cut off again by the Son of Sparda, who already knew what he was going to say and had no interest in his idea.

"Sorry dude, but pass, I'm not interested in all that school crap."

Dante then tried to turn away and was about to walk off, but he was stopped when the blindfolded man suddenly appeared right in front of him

"Unfortunately for you, you really don't have any choice in the matter."

Despite Gojo's carefree and calm attitude, a small hint of seriousness and firmness could be heard in his voice, showing that he wasn't entirely messing around right now

"Because if you refuse to join, then that means I have to kill you, you know, being a demon and all that."

Especially when Gojo mentioned that the man in red was part demon, which was enough to finally pique his interest

"And you really think that you can kill me?..."

Dante crossed his arms and raised his brow, as if challenging Satoru

"I mean, I am stronger than you after all~..."

Then after everything was said and done, the two just stared at each other for quite a bit, with the demonic hybrid continuously glaring at Gojo, who just smiled and looked down at him. A few moments went by of this stillness, before the son of Sparda finally decided to do something, which was throwing a punch that was aimed at the strongest face, though just like the bullets, it just simply paused right before it could actually touch him.

"The hard way huh? That's fine with me~"

Gojo then opened his palm and struck the man in red in the chest with enough force to both make him cough and spit and send him flying back. He managed to catch himself and dash back to jump kick Satoru, pausing midair and allowing him to grab his leg and toss him hard aside. The Son of Sparda was able to roll onto his feet and quickly pulled his Rebellion sword, preforming a stinger-like move at the strongest's face. And for a third time, the attack stopped an inch away from the man's face.

"You can keep this up all day and you'll never be able to-"

"TRICKSTER STYLE!"

But before Gojo could carelessly mock his opponent, Dante yelled out his ability's name and in an instant, somehow managed to skip the space between the two, this was enough to startle the blindfolded man and barely had enough time to dodge it, however he was still cut on the cheek from the attack

"-Hit me?..."

Gojo touched his cheek and then looked at the blood that had stained his fingers; it was undoubtedly a very surprising sight for him

"You were saying?~"

Dante just wore a very smug smirk, as if happy to finally break the overconfidence of the blindfolded man, who just sighs in response

"I guess this means our fight won't be boring then~..."

Gojo smirks again, though unlike before, instead of continuing to act all carefree and relaxed, he actually got into a fighting stance and seemingly looked much more serious about the fight, which made the Son of Sparda huff in response before charging in again, which made Satoru do the same, this is when the real fight begin, and show off their true skill in combat, the Strongest lives up to his title, when he first fought, it was simple pushing and tossing, but now, he was showing off his true skills against his opponent, revealing all of his training and experiences over the years of being a Jujutsu Sorcerer, he had speed, he had strength, he had curse energy, he had curse techniques, and he knew how to use it all in expert levels yet without being wasteful, being a veteran at what he does definitely gave the man in red a hard time, even landed hits hard enough to crack some bones or spilled some blood, though this wasn't enough to put down the demonic hybrid, in fact, with his own abilities and skills, he was able to land hits with equal or even sometimes higher amount of damage, though it was true he was lacking in experience and training in comparison to the blindfolded man, he made it up with immense strength, high speeds, a unpredictable yet creative way of fighting, and unique abilities, like his 'Trickster Style', which greatly helped in bypassing Satoru 'Infinity' barrier, not to mention always surprising him on whenever he teleports in unexpected ways, this of course resulted in the opponent getting deep cuts on his clothes and skin from the Rebellion, but it definitely wasn't enough to get him out of the fight

"Cursed Technique Reversal: Red."

Due to the fight going nowhere, Gojo gave himself some distance and decided to try something in hopes of changing the outcome of the fight. Something involving summoning some kind of red energy balls on the tip of his finger and then shooting it out like a giant laser blast. It was definitely big enough to completely envelop the Son of Sparda, and powerful enough to destroy or knock back everything in and around the blast.

"Royalguard, baby~"

However, much to Satoru's shock, not only did Dante seem completely unharmed after the dust settled, but he used a Style called 'Royalguard' to defend himself not only from the attack but also to make himself stronger. The evidence of this is 'Royal Release' being used to hit the strongest, which sent him flying back and crashing through multiple metal structures in the docks. Luckily, his defenses protected him from that, so he landed on the ground without additional damage. However, the sucker punch he received definitely broke most of his ribs and likely caused some internal bleeding.

"Hehe…"

But despite that, Gojo just simply laughs it off, as he slowly got back up to his feet after taking a second to recover

"I will admit, you are stronger than me…"

And once Gojo was back on his feet, he lifted his head to look at the man in red, who had managed to catch up after being sent far away from the attack, and gave him a mocking smirk

"When I'm holding back that is~..."

When Gojo said this, the demonic hybrid couldn't help but glare and feel very annoyed, no doubt not liking the feeling of being underestimated like this

"I was hoping to not seriously hurt you, I don't like picking on weak children."

And the Son of Sparda wasn't feeling any better when Gojo continued to look down at him

"But since you are the descendant of the Dark Knight, I guess I have no choice but to show you a bit of my true power."

Although, after Gojo felt like he had enough time to recover properly, he reached for his blindfold and started to pull it down

"Bring it, whatever you can give, I'll just take and return it back harder than you~"

Dante, not wanting to be seen as weak, and wanting to end this fight with him being the victor, he got back to his defensive 'Royalguard Style' stance and was ready to take whatever he might be given

"Domain Expansion: Infinite Void."

However, Gojo, who had now just revealed his beautiful blue eyes after removing the blindfold, had just given something that not even the Son of Sparda could handle, in one moment, he was at the doctors, the next, he was experiencing INFINITY

"Most normal people wouldn't be able to handle this, even demons and curses would need weeks, or even a month, to recover."

The man in red couldn't even move while witnessing the true sensation of eternity, Gojo calmly walked up to him and gently pet his head, humming softly as he looked down at the demonic hybrid.

"But you, I'm sure you'll be fine after you wake up from your nap."

And as soon as Gojo pokes his head, both the 'Domain Expansion' has ended and the Son of Sparda has finally passed out. Luckily, Satoru managed to catch him before he hit the ground. He lets out a small sigh once he achieves victory.

"... I understand your pain and struggles, Dante."

Without the blindfold, Gojo was able to look at the man in red with pity and sympathy in his eyes. No doubt he had no real negative feelings towards the demonic hybrid, despite his mocking and their fight.

"And I promise you, as a Teacher, you'll become strong enough to deal with the problems you suffer from."

But with all said and done, Gojo just picked up Dante and carried him away from the area. After taking a few steps forward, the two disappeared, never to be seen again for quite some time.

"Stronger than even me…"

To make things fair, and more fun, this takes place way before DMC 3, where Dante is still a mercenary and has yet to come up with the idea of opening a shop, which also means he has yet to unlock his Devil Trigger, as you can probably guess, that also means he is not as strong as his cannon part yet, not to say he is weak by any means, but as you can see what I've done, he won't be able to defeat someone like Gojo just yet, but don't worry, we'll get there soon enough, also since he is a bit younger and less mature, not to mention he's probably still going through puberty, expect our young Son of Sparda to be a bit more emotional and angered/saddened easily.

(BTW, I will do more research and such, however if things goes to plan, I will start DMC 3 after Season 1 of Juju Kai, of course if you think there's a better placement on where to start the DMC 3 story, please let me know, I would like some advice and suggestions since I'm not an expert with this anime… BTW BTW, Dante X Nobara Kugasaki anyone?~)

[EXTRA INFO: This is a combination world type thing, so everything DMC and Juju Kai exist in the same world, like Juju Kai characters knowing the existence of Sparda and Vergil are aware of the Sukuna Fingers, plus with a mix of Chainsaw Man and Bayonetta to add in some flavor lol~ (Bayonetta x Gojo anyone?~)]
