*Volcano: Dante uses the Beowulf gauntlets to punch the ground, creating a shockwave that can send opponents flying up in the air.

Super Moves

-Million Dollars: Dante whips out his pistols then opens fire on the opponent with a barrage of bullets (all while pulling some fancy moves), finishing the attack with a single powerful shot from both combined.

He gains a significant strength and speed boost, can regain a fraction of his health, coat his attacks with crimson electricity, and combo attacks for one or two more hits.

*Air Raid: Grants Dante the ability to fly.

*Vortex: In midair/mid-flight, dashes forward while covered in electricity.

*Thunder Bolt: Fires a downward-angled beam of electricity in mid-flight

--Devil Must Die: Only available in Devil Trigger state, Dante stabs at the opponent four times, finishing with a final stab that releases a pulse of red energy that knocks the opponent far away. After this move is performed successfully, he will transform back into his original state.

FATALITIES:

-Jackpot: Dante twirls his pistols, then takes aim at the opponent. With a dizzying array of bullets and a series of flashy poses, Dante shreds the opponent's flesh clean off their body until all that remains is a bloody skeleton. Turning his back on the opponent and, with a cocky grin, he aims a gun, fires, and blows the skull into pieces.

-Oops! Broke it: Dante whips out Rebellion, then spins it on his finger like a buzz-saw and swings it through the opponent, horizontally at first, then vertically, then diagonally from multiple angles. All this while, the opponent is screaming in pain. When Dante stops, he turns his back on the opponent, raises a finger as though calling something happening, and the opponent falls into pieces shortly afterward.

Intro: Dante waltzes onto the scene, tossing his guns up and down, then catches both, holsters them and looks at the opponent before smirking and putting a hand on the hilt of his sword, Rebellion.

Outro: Dante, a cocky smirk on his face, shakes his head slightly, then throws back his duster, whips out his pistols with a few fancy twirls, then aims them forward (one arm over the other) before winking at the camera.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Prologue: Visited by an anonymous stranger, Dante got a tip that there were strange occurrences all over the world. The one thing they had in common were that they appeared as dark portals. Unsure if they were heavenly or hellish in nature, Dante was intrigued in the best kind of way. Armed to the teeth with some of his best Devil Arms, he found the closest one and entered the world of Death Battle...with STYLE.

Rival Cutscene:

(Dante calmly walks through an abandoned cathedral, hands in his pockets, looking around at what there could be to see here. Nothing appears out-of-place until he spots something on the front pew...a small doll made of polished clay, dressed in black and bearing distinct spectacles.)

Dante: Huh. Deja vu. What might you be doing here?

(Dante walks over and, just as he's about to pick it up, he stops, then stands up and smirks without turning around. He knows someone is there.)

Dante: So...you made it, too?

???: Well, of course, love. Been having the time of my life so far, but on seeing you here, I'm not one to deny a little payback.

(Dante chuckles, then shrugs.)

Dante: Why not? I had so much fun last time...

(Dante whirls around, whipping out his handguns and opening fire on the person behind him, who also fires. The bullets ricochet off each other, camera flashing between handheld and foot-mounted guns, until both stop, barrels smoking. The other person is revealed to be none other than Bayonetta.)

Bayonetta: Sharp as always, I see. Haven't lost your touch.

Dante: Neither have you, beautiful. You sure pulled yourself together nicely.

Bayonetta: Quite the joker, aren't you?

Dante: Trust me, babe, I got plenty more.

Bayonetta: I'll make things more fun by not underestimating you. Think you can last?

Dante: You betcha. Let's rock and roll!

(Both spring at each other, guns blazing in the typical Matrix-fashion as they both slow down, enthralled smiles on their faces. Fade to black.)

Ending: After the hassle of solving interdimensional crisis, Dante did the only good thing he could after a mission--kick back and wait for the next order of work. Mentioned next order came to his business office, the Devil May Cry, in the form of a tall, dark-skinned person by the name of Rodin. After a brief glance at what the demonic bartender had to offer, Dante agreed to look into it. Rodin reported that entities by the name of Mephisto and Blackheart were acting beyond Hell's wishes and that someone had to reel them in. Dante's response? "Go on..."
