*5 month time skip*
(The creature above is the current beast that is being fought at the beginning of this chapter)
(Y/n)'s perspective;
A miniature explosion erupted right beside me causing a small shockwave to knock me off my feet! I did a kick-up just in time to dodge a barbed tentacle headed right for me. Two more popped up to my right, nothing a slice or two can't handle. My charge blade grew hot with anger, from the hilt to the tip of the blade itself. Seething red flames pouring off like water!
(Y/n): I got a fire just raging to get out!
With a horizontal swipe, I sent a fire induced wave right into shit face. With no reaction besides the black goo that oozed out of its crispy exterior, it sent another attack my way.
The wind only grew more stale in response to the growing threat before me. The blackened clouds above let loose meteors raging hot. The ground gave way forcing me to hope out of the way. I managed to maneuver in mid air between the two pikes, looking mighty badass if I do say so myself!
Nero: Right on time!
My gaze met Nero's. Of course, just barging right in and stealing my spotlight!
(Y/n): Hey! I'm the protagonist here! Get backstage!
Nero: The curtain falls!
Just as the words left his mouth, the wall came crumbling down adding to the dramatic scene.
Dante: Knock, knock! Here's Dante!
(Y/n): Oh great...
Dante: Nice arm.
Nero: Sweet right?!
(Y/n): Alright! You can suck his dick later, I got a job to finish.
Of course I was given the finger twice, with nothing left to say we all rushed in. Weapons drawn!
The tentacles made for a good stepping stool, once I reached the skies my sword, (Weapon name), ignited into flame! With a well place helm breaker, I opened Mr. Blob up for Nero and Dante.
Nero's Red Queen fitted inside like a key in a keyhole. After that, he maxed out the exceed gauge and watched it burn from within before ripping it back out!
Dante was next. With his circular saw blade, which I've now recently learned it's named Pati after some legend, he released it inside as well! It disappeared behind a wall of flesh before returning back out from wince it came. That's a lot of damage!
Next up, all three of us hacked away leaving nothing left!
Dante: Aaaaand.... scene.
(Y/n): Disappointing... just so you guys know, I had it under control.
Nero: Sure. Now, how about we three go wrap this up.
I turned to match his gaze. The street had been opened up as a result of beating Blob, which revealed the portal to the Netherworld.
Dante: Lets go clean up this garbage!
Nuff said. After that, we all disembarked. Our destination? The deepest part of Hell...... the Nether.

*On the other side*
(Y/n): Jesuuuus, it stinks!
Nero: Smells like your upper lip...
Dante: Oooooooh, burn! Ha ha...
(Y/n): Who invited this punk again?
Dante: That would be youu... I believe your exact words were, "We might need you kid, this is a one way trip. The endgame." Yadda yadda yadda...
(Y/n): Oh....right.
Nero: Fuck this, I'm going alone.
(Y/n): Hey! This is my gig!
After what felt like hours of following a trail of bones, we came to the arena. Within it?
???: What draws you.....
Dante: You got somethin of ours-
(Y/n): It ends here asshole.
Nero: We're taking it back, if I have to beat it out of you then so be it!!
???: Do you know who I am? You dare speak to the poisoned flesh? I, Alpha and Omega, beginning and end, life and death?
(Y/n): Think ya got it twisted there, Mr. Lucifer sir!
Dante: You got one thing right, you are the beginning and end. You started this and now-
Nero: WE'RE GONNA END YOU!!!
Lucifer?: .....
(Y/n): Oh what's the matter? Devil gonna cry? Awwwwwe....you poor thing.
Lucifer?: Ha ha ha, you three so readily throw away your lives..... so be it. I have plenty of time to kill.
(TIME SKIP)
AHHHHH!!!!
The sound of blood curdling screams echoed loudly. I lifted my head just enough to see Nero's other arm ripped out of its socket, his screams made me wanna puke.
I looked beside me to see what was left of Dante..... it wasn't much. I only knew it was him because I was standing to his right just before. My sword was in pieces scattered about...
???: I'm too late....
My eyes fluttered to the origin of that voice. It was Vergil. Looks like he still has the sword of Ophiel. Good for him....
Just as my consciousness began to fade, I could have sworn I saw Vergil shed a tear.
Vergil: Again..... I was too late. Dante....
Then it all went black...
Lucifer?: What a petty disturbance. Are you next?

*Back to the present*
Ash's perspective;
My eyes shot open! Another glance into the future....
I looked around to see that I was still in the dungeon. Patty is missing and I can only assume (Y/n) is still off fighting Alastor. Great....
My wound on my chest had finally closed. Time to go reintroduce myself....
To be continued!!!
