[Maverick Hunter Zero]

Firebrand certainly felt nostalgia from this place. For it was here that he had his first stint as commentator{see Dimentio Vs. Wily}, now here as a new combatant to bring mayhem like never before.

Firebrand had a chance to show everyone in the stadium how difficult it is to try to bring down a Red Arremer. And would prove it by facing any challenger who could keep him entertained.

After all... a gargoyle needs to keep his strength consistant, and he was busy lobbing skulls to land all around the arena edge so that they wouldn't be in the way.

All while outside, a note was pinned on the notice board. If anyone could read Gargoyle speak, it would be translated as this:

"Seeking a worthy challenger to face the Red Arremer Ace{which is me} in a contest of skill in the arena for the entertainment of the masses."

[PolarStarQuote]

As skulls were being lobbed by firebrand, a man walking into the stadium looked up to see one of those skulls was heading straight at his face.


ljdktdKBp_1d20+2=18

The man pulled out his black gun, firing quickly and shooting the skull in mid-air, effectively destroying the skull with a single bullet. The destroyed bone pieces flew back at firebrand, the man stepped from the shadows, revealing himself as Dante. "Well, just as i expected. Found you red blaze." Dante smirked, pulling out Rebellion. "Lets make this one fun, huh??"



Dante threw rebellion, The sword spinning in the area and turning mid air back at dante. When the sword reached dante, it aimed for its neck, spinning in place and defying all laws of physics. Dante spun his head around, cracking the bones in his neck while dodging his own sword cutting his head off. Dante then moved the sword upward, the sword quickly cutting off the facial hair that was on dante's face before he grabbed the blade mid-spin, aiming rebellion at firebrand.

An silence went through the crowd as a sandy windstorm seemed to go through the stadium, though this was a distraction from the ref who suddenly appeared as if out of nowhere, a Toad with a brown and purple spotted mushroom, an eyepatch, his leather jacket, his black diaper, his more dark appearance to the average toad. This Toad was the ever recognizable, Vanish T. "Hello, Demon Gent and Demon Hunting Gent. Now you know the normal rules, but Special Match means we get a neat little Gimick. Now, let's see," Vanish T started as he held up his sword and it turned into a letter. "Oh, now this should be interesting. This will be a Sudden Death Match. Not only will you need to worry about your opponent, but the weather says there will be a chance of Exploding Showers. Well, tell me when you two are ready and we can get this party started," Vanish T. said.

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

"Explosions, good enough. This Red Arremer Ace is good with the rules, so let us begin in earnest once the gong sounds." Firebrand said, his eyes showing his intent to enjoy the entertainment while dodging exploding bombs.

[PolarStarQuote]

Dante laughed, putting rebellion on its back sheathe and then beginning to repeatedly punch the air, akin to bruce lee. "Sounds like this parties getting crazy!" Dante said, smirking and getting into battle position..which was more or less just a laid back, at the ready position.

[Coolshaymin]

"Okay then, Ready..." Vanish T. said as he put a hand up and storm clouds were summoned, "Bob-Omb Rain Illusion! Go!" Vanish T said as he vanished, as a major part of his namesake, the storm clouds started to rain Bob-Ombs that were primed to detonate the moment they touched something, similar to how it works in Sudden Death Matches in Smash Bros that takes too long. Every fighter has to dodge the highly powerful Bob-Ombs as well as their opponent in this match of truly Sudden Death. As a result, its easy to say standing in place is a REALLY bad idea.

(This turn, roll a 15 to dodge the bombs at the start as well as when you use a move that does not involve movement. If you get hit while attempting a combo, it must be forfeited and stay as the combo before getting hit unless a Con Roll of at least 15 is rolled.)

[Maverick Hunter Zero]

DEX ROLL: 10{poorly executed bomb dodge}
CON ROLL: 14+3=17{Bomb block for performing a combo}

Firebrand had begun to move, but still took a brief bomb to the foot, blocking the worst from doing serious harm. The least he could do was whistle, and one of his Red Arremer Buddies came into action, with Firebrand Performin his Signature Devil's Claw attack to strike at Dante, while the Red Arremer Buddy swooped in for a collision to add its own damage to the mix. "Let's have a Chaos Tide of a rocking time. Think fast Dante!" Firebrand heckled in Gargoyle Speak, hoping to catch him off guardwith this tactic.

STR ROLL: 20+1=21{Nat. Critical Devil's Claw of AWESOMNESS with modifier!}
STR ROLL{RAB}: 13{mediocre swoop attack falling short of the crit.}

{Chaos Tide in effect; Red Arremer Buddy has one turn left before leaving the battle}

(Roll a 17 to dodge the Devil's Claw or take the Critical Hit, If hit, roll a 15 for the Buddy, if not, roll a 13 to dodge. Remember, Dante must also dodge the intial Bomb as well, but it is not effected towards Firebrand's attacks.)

Dante danced around the bomb rain like it was nothing, laughing like a little kid. But, as dante was jumping about, he used his trickster skills and grabbed a bomb from mid-air. When dante got hit, he was feeling the sting as he skidded back. "Well, gotta say flame head, that was a pretty good. Lets keep it up, huh?" Dante said, wiping the blood off of his bare chest.



p_1d20+2=19

"I swear, the leniency of the no buddies allowed rule is getting ridiculous" Dante said as he avoided the swooping friend while making his run's away from the explosive rain. Well, this would be what the British would call 'a fine mess indeed'. What kind of moves does dante have that can help him avoid the bomb's. Pandora's Mobile Missile Battery mode has the ability to move around mid-flight, so he guess'd that would do it. But first, something to start with! Dante threw the bomb he caught at firebrand as a minor damaging distraction, to give him time to prepare his special move.

p_1d20+2=16


p_1d20+2=20

Dante cracked open his demonic briefcase, with a flash of light he appeared in his flying missile battery. Dante didn't waste time, the jets on the battery activating and moving him around to avoid bomb fire. "Not enough explosions? I can help!" He said, smiling and firing off the boxes on the machine.

( Roll a 15 to dodge the Bomb, if hit, roll a 17 to dodge the Pandora, if not, roll a 15. The Commentator Post will contain the dodge roll requirement for next turn's bombs.)1d20·1d20·1d20·1d20·1d20·1d20·1d20

"Welcome to today's match, citizens. This show should be an interesting one, Resident Demon Hunter, Dante, is here for a bounty on the Leader of the Red Arremers, Firebrand. I am Houdini the Alakazam."

"And I be Cortez, leader of the most fearsome crew in the Mushroom Seas. Say, isn't allies illegal in this stadium, amigo?"

"Yes, they certainly are, with some parts of the rulebook allowing exceptions... I do not believe this is one of those times..."

"So shouldn't the ref be doing something?"

"Well, I should be... but its no party without friends. I'll allow it this time."

"... You are a very lazy Ref, Amigo... WHAAAAAT?! HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?!"

"He is Vanish T, master of infiltration and stealth... though he acts very laidback, his power over illusions created this storm cloud that drops bombs. Speaking of which this is a Sudden Death Match."

"Cea, one wrong move and ye may meet a terrible faith in this battle. The term Sudden Death Match is not to be taken lightly, amigo. Quite foolish of the Demon Hunter to try and catch an active bomb... Did that suitcase just turn into a Missle Launcher, Amigo?"

"Yes, that is Pandora, a transforming weapon of destruction and while  grabbing an active bomb is indeed dangerous, Dante is known for his Tricky yet Stylish Fighting Style."

"With risky stunts like that, he should take Veiwtiful Joe's Place."

"Actually he has, Dante is no stranger to crossovers."

"Oh... That should help the Fan Fic writers."

Firebrand barely got out of the way on that one, but on using his head, the Red Arremer Ace managed to block in time. And thinking quickly, didn't notice a THROWN BOMB from Dante.
DEX ROLL: 15{thrown bomb dodge}
Luckily, he was able to react quickly by sidestepping the thrown explosive. But the Pandora is another story entirely.
DEX ROLL: 18{Pandora; meet Promethius}
HOLY HARRY HOUDINI! I think you need a moment to understand the difference in the ballance of how things usually work in Demon Realm, halfblood son of a makai traitor. Firebrand hissed in his gargoyle speak. He took flight and let out a incomperable battle cry charging headlong into Dante with a headbutt, and immolating him woth his signature Dark Fire breath weapon, hoping to burn him like a roasted pig.

STR ROLL: 18+1=19{one short of crit.}

Dante was moonwalking through the bomb rain, humming a song as he danced through. "Dude's lookin' at me, wants to fight!" Dante yelled, raising a hand to the air and laughing. "Woo, this is fun!"


p_1d20+2=14

Dante got hit, just barely though. It was more grazed skin hit as he spun around from the demon's hit. "Haha, come on, what else do you go-" With taht said, dante looked and saw a burst of demon flame heading at him. "Oooooh, that would be what else you have."


p_1d20+2=20

The legendary nat 20! Dante smirked, jumping inot the air and grabbing the bomb's in the air, swinging off of them for momentum as he jumped over behind Firebrand.


p_1d20+2=18

Dante moved his head to the side, dodging the buddy without any real effort exherted as he started running away from firebrand, turning around and continuing to walk backwards away from the demon while his gun's were aimed at him. "Hey, Flame face! Flock off!" Dante called out, before shooting at firebrand, aiming directly for the demon's wings. He hoped to fill those wings with holes so the demon wouldn't be able to take off into the air.

"Uh... Amigo, did he just say 'Holy Harry Houdini?"

"... He sure did... Funny how he knows the real life magician I was named after..."

"... Real life? What are ye talking about, Amigo? Ye act like this is fiction or something."

"I'm afraid your mind is not ready for the truth yet, Cortez."

"... Anyway, that Demon Hunter's cockiness seems to have left him wide open. Quite a poor tactic to overestimate yourself."

"Not only that, but apparently someone does not recognize the difference between nat20s and an 18+2 Modifier."

"... Let me guess, my mind not be strong enough to comprehend that either, amigo?"

"That would be correct."

"... Alright then... Anyway, shouldn't it be illegal to try and clip someone's wings?"

"Of course not, Cortez, anything fair game in a fight... except backup and killing and..." Houdini goes on.

DEX ROLL: 12{Almost a successful dodge}

Firebrand again failed against a bomb dodge, but was again successful in his quick thinking to block, pity he couldn't burn Dante.

DEX ROLL: 18{Bullets DENIED!}
CON ROLL: 18+3=21{Hover Continues}

"I guess someone needs a spanking... And I just so happen to enjoy this much more when I was battling Sir Arthur! As the Card Fighters DS Card on me states AND I QUOTE!: 'Tough enough to be a final boss, Hard to believe he's in Stage One'!" Firebrand said, laughing sicofantically as he referenced his own card from SVC: Card Fighters DS.

He Landed Gently on the ground, his body giving off a ghastly glow as though he was glitched out, next second, Firebrand became a pure white Gargoyle, his power breaching most of his stats and becoming much faster in the process, Firebrand had triggered his Luminous Body Technique, and that meant Big Trouble with a capital BT for Dante. Firebrand Lunged, hitting Dante with a Devil's Claw, Followed by a Headbutt, and ending it with a Hell Spitfire to sweeten the deal.
STR ROLL: 16+1+2{LB}=19{Nearly Crit. Devil's Claw}
STR ROLL: 15+1+2{LB}=18{Impressive Headbutt of Impressiveness}
WIS ROLL: 16+2+2{LB}=20{Not a nat 20, but critical Hell Spitfirenone the less.}

{LUMINOUS BODY IN EFFECT! TURNS LEFT UNTIL COOLDOWN: 2}

(Mr. L: Roll a 15 to dodge the Claw, if hit, roll a 15 for the headbutt, if not, 13, if hit by the headbutt, 14, if not, roll a 12, and no, as far as I am concerned, only Nat 20s are Crits.)

[PolarStarQuote]

Dante noticed his target changing skin color, meaning that...Oh yeah, it was transforming time. Dante smiled brushing his coat back as runes started appearing around him in a circle, mysterious chanting coming from literally nowhere.

Bless me with the  

Leaf off of the tree,  

On it, I see  

The freedom reign.  

We are falling,  

The light is calling.  

Tears inside me  

Calm me down.  

Midnight calling,  

Mist of resolving.  

Crown me with the  

Pure green leaf.  

Praise to my father,

Blessed by the water. 

Black night, dark sky, 

The devil's cry. 

Eventually, once firebrand reached the runes he would have to be carefull, as a burst of red lightning released from the runes, hiding dante's current apperance as firebrand went to attack him.

Effortlessly, the devil triggered dante seemed to phase in and out of existence as he just could not be kept up with, avoiding almost all of firebrand's combo, all except for the hell spitfire which has grazed dante's shoulder and burned well. Dante appeared behind the Red Arrmer, rage in his eyes as his trench coat's wings spread open. "You...Will...Die." Dante said in a demonic English, to intimidate the demon.

p_1d20+5=6 [Aaand you failed]


Dante then rushed down Firebrand with a Rebellion Stinger, attempting to stab the demon in the chest area.

p_1d20+4=THE GODLY CRITICAL STINGER OF DEATH...er, 24


And to finish it off, dante then grabbed the demon by the leg, smashing Firebrand on the ground back and forth like he was a rag doll before throwing him as hard as he could into the air, and furthermore, into the bomb's to make dodging the explosives harder. Should give him points for thought in any case.

"Huh? What is this amigo? That Bat just went shiny... and where is that song coming from?"

"It would seem they are activating their final smashes. Both of these combatants specialize in Transformation Final Smashes. These Final Smashes, while not inherently a powerful attack, they boost the fighter's power immensely."

"Interesting... I can transform too, ye know, but in comparison, these transformations are rather lack lucture."

"Sure, Firebrand's Shiny Body for an ultimate technique may seem bland, but it does increase his power."

"Doesn't matter, matey. If this was a contest to see who can look cooler in transformed mode, it is Dante as the winner by a long shot."

"Well, this is not a beauty contest of any sort, Cortez."

"I know, just saying... Say, doesn't this remind you of some show that Sonic totally did not borrow material from?"

"Hmmm... You are right, the apocalyptic atmosphere, two warriors at max power, its like the Finale of Goku vs. Freiza."

"Aye, I guess that makes Firebrand Goku, because that is as equal in cool transformation factor to the Devil Trigger as Super Saiyan 1 is to Freiza."
