Dante, Knuckles, Funky Kong, and Lou all stand in the city, glaring above at the giant ship looming over the area. Its dark shadow encroaches on the four of them. The wings of the ship shadow the entire city, while the mask on the ship’s face gives off a powerful vibe
Just… what is that thing?
Those wings… that face… could that be the knight's ship that Sonic was telling me?!
What do you mean, paisano?
Suddenly, two figures jump from the ship, one a winged creature diving down like a falcon from the sky, and the other a fox in a suit, landing stylishly as if he has done it multiple times before. Both of them have auras that emanate from their body, an aura that does not bode well.
You have much left to learn…
Mission… start!
Meta Knight points their sword at their opponent while Fox points his blaster. The two groups stand off against each other.
Still have no idea who they are…
We’re the best characters in the game. Low-tier trash like you need to be taught a lesson.
You lack skills. No DI, no Double Jump Cancels, no dash dancing. You are nothing but 0-2ers, trying to face a fight you have no chance of winning.
… Yo, Knux, you understand their lingo?
Nope. Not a single clue.
These two are fighting game sweats. They’re the proclaimed best characters of their game.
Games? How do you know this, Dante?
Because I was one.
EH?!
But that was in the past. I’ve gotten… better.
What kind of game were you in to be top-tier like us?
Hmph. If it was a game we haven’t heard of, then it must be a dead game.
Dante then charges forward in an instant towards Meta Knight. Meta Knight clashes perfectly with Dante’s sword while Fox tries to attack while he’s clashing. Dante then dodges the assault and starts shooting from his guns while Fox and Meta Knight dodge out of the way. As the two versus one continues, Lou, Funky, and Knuckles watch in awe.
Holy cannelloni! Those three are like machines out there!
It’s… insane! I can’t even keep up!
But it looks like Dante is struggling out there… look!
Dante avoids another attack from Meta Knight, but Fox positions himself to try and counterattack Dante’s evasion. Dante catches that in time and instead matches Fox’s rapid kicks with his Beowulf Leg Armaments, both clashing their kicks with one another. Dante and Fox perform one more leg strike, clashing their legs, but Meta Knight tries to make another attack while Dante is clashing. Avoiding the attack, Dante jumps back to his group and recuperates with Knuckles, Funky, and Lou.
Damn… those guys are tough.
Weren’t you a top-tier? Why can’t you fight back?
I would if I could, I would’ve X-Factored by now, but my game’s days are over.
So what will we do?
Let me help, paisano!
Help? From Mario? Mario hasn’t been in the meta ever since 64.
If you wish to receive help from bottom-tier trash, go ahead. But know that we won’t take mercy from people worse than garbage.
!
Just then, Lou’s demeanor changed completely. Dante looks back in astonishment to see the rage fueling inside Lou’s body.
Now listen here you PUNKS!
!
!
I dunno what’s with all this bottom-tier, top-tier nonsense, but I AIN’T aboutta be disrespected by chumps like you! I think it’s time that you non-showerin’ freaks learn a thing or two about respect! Let me show you when hell rains over! ME! I’M Hell when I’m well! AND I’M NEVER SICK!
Alright, Lou! Now we're talkin'!
Lemme at em, my man! I’ll show ‘em a thing or two of proper etiquette! CAPTAIN ALBANO STYLE!
