"Enough fun and games cutey, I really do have to get going."
“I'll have my men supply the body bag.”
Even though she was about to be hit with power many could only ever dream about, Dante would notice her eyes never left Kasul which was still lodged inside him. He would also notice...
She didn't bother trying to remove it.
The demon blade began to glow, an army of souls gathered together over a course of five hundred years charged up Kasul. Demons, angels, gods, vampires with their familiars and powerful human warriors of Genesis' past. Even the Ghost of Legion Tajna Rasha himself came alive inside the ancient blade as their power fused together and released in the form of one ultimate blast exploding Dante's body from the inside out as Ranko was blown back, hit by pure rage and collided into the swords that was still behind her.
Shrapnel colliding into her body and a large explosion that shook the very foundation of the ground around them but as the dust settled, and the smoke cleared, Ranko's hand grabbed the hilt of the blade that had fallen beside her and stood up. The essence of the Netherrealm keeping her alive as she looked over to see what was left of Dante.
If anything. |

The explosion shot through him, a scream erupting as he began to evaporate from the massive amount of damage. As the smoke cleared there was nothing but wisps of black smoke beginning to rise and fade away. Dante himself had managed to evade the blast and replace himself with a doppelganger but not before being knocked on his ass and thrown to the ground.
There he laid for a moment, thinking back... thinking back to everything, his fight against the lord of darkness, Mundus, his victory over Agrosax the Chaos... The defeat of that psychopath preist who had stolen his father's sword, His conquering of Temin-Ni-Gru and the demons within... All of those fights against his twin brother... maybe he was just to old for this shit... maybe he needed to give up.
Get up. A cold and callous, yet familiar voice echoed within Dante's head. Get up Dante. Even still you act so foolish. "Ver...gil?" The image of his twin brother, clad in blue slowly marched towards him standing over the fallen Dante, looking down his nose at the devil hunter. Why do you refuse to use it? Even now, you sit there and do not use your full potential. Get up Dante began to slowly crawl back towards his feet, clutching the force edge.
Even still that defiance... if you cling to it, you will die in this fight. Dante began to walk, the image of Vergil now behind him, it's back facing Dante. You have his sword so use it! Show her the true power of our family, Make her remember that you are no ordinary half demon... Show her... the true power of SPARDA!
The image of Vergil faded and Dante's entire body erupted into red flames, energy so intense that it felt like a burning star, radiated off of Dante. A shockwave blowing outward with each step, pushing the massive army back. With each step Dante took a flash image appeared, an image of his own devil form mixed with that of his father's. The force edge itself had changed as well, it has shifted into this almost organic blade, it had grown larger. What rested within Dante's hands was the true form of the force edge, sparda. A blade that had killed so many before even gracing the Devil hunter's hands... and now it was aiding Dante in this fight...
Feeding Dante it's raw unbridled power in order to take this bitch down. Only one word rumbled from Dante's lips, his eyes burning a deep red. "C'mon"

"C'mon."
“So this is your true power. You were only playing with me before.”
The Crimson Devil stepped forward, standing tall where many would have trembled and fallen to their knees in the presence of so much demonic power being before them. She called upon the power of the Netherrealm, the essence that was hers by rite of passage after defeating Quan Chi, and it empowered her. Crimson eyes turned pitch black, no pupil or iris present. Black veins spread across her skin as she removed her trench coat unveiling the sleeveless black bodysuit underneath, going into a fighting stance with Kasul at the ready staring down her opponent. |

He barely cracked a smirk. "My appologies... I'll be sure to be honest with you from now on." Scarcasm dripped from his tounge as his rumbling voice spoke. A scarlet flame began to lick off of the Sparda sword's blade as black lightning began to charge around the entire sword. "Feel free to die, when you've had enough." He took a step and vanished his entire movement creating a pressurized wave that destroyed anything in his wake.
There was a pause of nothing around the area, but if one looked up they would see a large demon with his wings spread. A large swing of his sword and that fire and black lightning came racing off his blade followed by a huge pressure wave. If that wasn't enough, Sparda within it's scythe form was spinning towards Ranko.

When Dante appeared in the air above the Crimson Devil's head, he would feel a force driving him back down to the ground where Ranko was. The entire realm itself battling against the Demon Slayer now, the elements hurled towards her were absorbed into Kasul and she evaded the incoming Scythe which acted as a boomerang and continued right for the Devil Hunter as he was in her range and back on the ground again. Using her agility Ranko brought the sharp edge of Kasul down upon the demon's head like knife through butter to slice it in two. |

The Sparda Blade came back to him just after catching the Kasul in a single hand. Ranko had left herself wide open "C'mon, that the best you got?" That force her blade had just absorbed... the funny thing about it was Dante was in full control of it, which would explain why the Kasul wasn't causing him any physical pain. he was letting his energy become absorbed by the blade but while in there, it still remained a part of itself.
For Dante, this unbeatable blade now simply felt like a normal sword every time it lashed his skin. Ranko was now within range. A nice sawed off shot gun pointed at her collar bones, He smirked as he pushed it against her chest. "Jackpot." A full frontal assault of his aura blistered through the pellets waiting inside as they became imbued. Dante pulled the trigger, what happened next was the equivalence of a palm sized nuke.

He underestimates your speed. Now make him feel foolish.
Ranko swung Kasul at the arm that held the shotgun, burning off Dante's energies mid-swing and becoming a threat to him again, forcing the gun's barrel away from her and shooting air. |

Dante leaned back and pulled his arms to side ever so slightly to lance her sword away with his shotgun, his speed and agility matching, if not surpassing that of his twin brother's. Catching the Sparda Blade, it flashed a vibrant red before transforming into something that was honestly a mixture between the Sparda sword and the Force Edge. Which was comfortably convenient... he took a step closer inside, his blade now held the definite upper hand for it's length in comparison to the long sword she wielded.
His sword arm was fast to move, smacking against the blade of the Kasual, the Force Edge itself sending out a blast of kinetic force to shoot the blade outward and away as Dante released the shotgun reaching out quickly and grabbing Ranko by the collar of her shirt. The shotgun tumbled down landing butt-first to the ground as Dante's foot kept the barrels pointed towards Ranko's hip and fired another round of demonically imbued pellets.

Ranko's power repelled the kinetic force to keep Kasul in her hand at the same time she swept up Force Edge in a rising slide motion and struck directly at his torso knocking him back before he could reach out for her collar with his spare hand. The shotgun falling to the ground when his foot came off and shooting air for a second time before Ranko's feet slammed down on the barrel jamming it and rendering it useless.
“No guns.” |

Okay, so his gun was trashed, but whatever. She had opened herself up even more so as her blade lifted his out of the way and slammed into his chest. He was hers now, a single arm wrapped tightly around Ranko's neck and began to squeeze, Dante's hand grasped onto his coat to secure his grip and to make sure she wouldn't escape. "Suck my dick." Force edge blinked away and Dante, using his free arm reached back and quickly pulled out ivory pressing it against the wrist of the hand that held the Kasul and the gun cheered out as Dante rattled the trigger, unleashing a volley of lead.

Ranko couldn't use her sword thanks to the range but her body was another story. She went under the arm, slipping out of his grasp before he could even snatch her. Moving back to a range where her sword maneuverability wouldn't be cut off and when the volley came she was better positioned, parting it like the red sea and allowing it to hit the soldiers in her army who were still watching the battle. Forcing them to adapt and her as well. |

Dante was already on her ass, in the time it took her to move he already had her around the waist. Hands clinched at the small of Ranko's back and he proceeded to lift her up and tilt backwards. Twisting around like a snake to make sure Ranko would land square on her back with Dante on top, in mount with Ebony and irvoy pointed dead at her face... "Piss off and die bitch. i got people waiting on me." His fingers right there on the triggers if she made any move, even a twitch... she'd be eating super charged lead.

It's useless.
Dante would hear Kasul's voice speak in his mind and then Ranko blinked in defiance, causing him to pull back on the triggers of Ebony and Ivory for the dual charge shot but before they could come out of the barrel Ranko's manipulated the energy inside and caused them to erupt prematurely and jammed the pistols, as the shotgun before them, and the blast knocking him off her as she stood up with Kasul in hand. Adapting to the power use earlier had granted her and her entire army immunity from it.
“I said no guns.” |

"Fine then." Dante stood up and began to face Ranko. A white blinding glow beginning to resonate from Dante as he began to slowly walk forward, his guns seemed to just melt into his hands and go away as his skin began to burn off until before her stood Dante in his full Devil trigger state, the same state he had used to destroy Mundus. Every Devil Arm he ever seemed to own, except for Rebellion and force Edge, instantly materialized and changed into it's spirit form and began to become absorbed by Dante, empowering him further.
The White glow around his demonic presence caught everything it touched to flames and Dante rubbed his hands together, still advancing forward. "Eat this!" Red orbs of destructive energy began to instantaneously materialize and shoot towards Ranko like heat seeking missiles tracked on her aura signature.
And if that wasn't enough Dante put his hands outward, palms facing towards his opponent. "This ends now!" A gaint glowing demonic rune formed in front of Dante's hands as what ripped fourth from it was a gaint white draconian like beast created and containing in it's form pure, unfathomable destruction... heading straight for Ranko.

So he managed to uncover the secret in her armies adaptive abilities. Very well. But there was one thing he overlooked. Something she had already used against him twice in this battle. Had his son been present for these events he could have told him for he witness with his own two eyes in the form of the Ajerian Cyris Darkbroode. The energy manipulators whose souls she absorbed into Kasul was able to manipulate energy in general, meaning it mattered not how many times the frequency changed. If it was energy then she could bend it to her will.
The Crimson Devil came to life. Sheathing Kasul and bringing out her right arm wrapping the energy around her, turning a dark blue and changing its frequency of that of pure destructive energy fueled neither by the power of heaven nor the power of hell. A second forming around her left arm as when the two met she punched the in-coming Spectral Dragon obliterating it and releasing the energy to obliterate his body while sending a second wave into his shadow so he couldn't use the doppelganger. |
