Dante really shouldn't of ate that pizza the shy guy's offered him. Anchovies, mayonnaise sauce, Bleu cheese and....was that thousand island dressing? What...in the name of sparda....WHO MAKES PIZZA WITH MAYO SAUCE?! Regardless, put it on a pizza crust, dante was willing to eat a slice. And further more, it was a requirement for this, what had to be the next best entertainment the life sphere would see for a while. Boxing match!

Well, not a boxing match. More like a fighting match where one person cheated as best they could, while the other used weapon's. Regardless, the set up was made, a typical punch-out boxing ring, a big TV to show shot by shot action. It was gonna be a good time.

...hopefully those 400 coins were not in vein, Dante.

Dante stepped into the ring, giving a pained smile to the crowd..

burst into cheer's for the charismatic demon hunter, Making dante smile more, as his body was stuck between "We need to win this fight" and "I want to puke my guts out when i get back home." Dante then looked around, waiting for the challenger to appear, so that this bet can get underway!

(Dante's poison will begin when the fight begins.)

The Shy Guy chefs were made to make Pizza but poisonous and a pizza lover would probably treat Mama Guy's Infamous Taste Bud Murder Pizza as a deadly toxin. Game Guy just waited for the fool to ask Shy Guys to make a bad pizza to come to the ring. The crowd was rather big since this was the first show to not be a Sunshine Stadium showdown... though it was also a plus they got to potentially watch that guy that helped take control of the Sunshine Stadium get beat up.

Game Guy waited until he saw Dante coming before pulling up a mic stand. "Ladies and Gentleman, it is time for a show that is once in a lifetime. Watch one man battle the odds to try and succeed for glory and treasure. Our Challenger for this show is the Devil Hunter, Dante!" Game Guy introduced. The crowd went wild for Dante's pretty great show of charisma and probably the aspect of seeing the terrorist get beat up again helped them ignore his pained look. Game Guy waited for the crowd to die down before pointing to the other side. "And our boss for this match is one many may recognize. One of the two terrorists that took the entire Sunshine Stadium hostage while Lt. Surge was sleeping downstairs, KING HIPPO!" The Shy Guy introed as a large man with pink boxing gloves and a crown pushed his way through the booing crowd. He will show Sword how useful of a Manhole Buddy he is. He was even wearing a manhole cover ducktaped to his belly with a drawing of him and Galacta Knight on it. The man somehow stepped over the ropes and stood opposite the smaller and infinitely skinnier demon hunter.

"So you think you can handle me?! Bwahahahahahaha! I was barely beaten by a kid, a statue, and a skinny man all at once. You do not stand a chance," King Hippo taunted with boos from the crowd.

"Which side will luck choose to favor? Will Dante power through the stacked up odds? Or will they topple over him and squash him like an obese boxer?"

"HEY!"

"Let's find out! BEGIN!" Game Guy announced for the challenge to begin.

So, this guy was last challenged by a kid, statue and skinny guy...? Well, dante's killed his fair share of giant statue's, Demon kids and skinny people, so, this was a perfect match up. "Yeah, you may wanna rework those boasts, Tubs. You remember you're supposed to Fight me, and not eat me, right?" Dante said in his usual taunting fashion, giving a playful chuckle, readying his battle stance, reverse-gripping rebellion...

"BEGIN!"

With that said, Dante immediately rushed forward with Demon Energy on his heels, sticking his rebellion out, as if he was going for a stringer...Before Air Hiking over king hippo, trying to fake the dumbo out, and instead give the 'king of the ring' a deep cut in the back of his head!


TY5s0HA6p_1d20+1=9

Following this up, Dante grabbed Ebony and Ivory from there back-holster's, aiming at King Hippo's back, before rapid firing his dual pistols to not only give dante a decent attack, but also propel him back from king hippo's range.


p_1d20+2=15

Dante Pirouetted onto the ground, smiling happily as he then looked along the Hippo king's body. Lets see if some good ol' demon hunting intuition can help him out. Obviously this guy was made to wait dante out with the poison effect, So, Dante needed to find a weak point...


p_1d20(Wisdom check to find a weakspot.)

Oh...gee. could it be under the obviously over-protected part of his body? Sealed with duct tape, and adorned with drawings? Dante eyed hippo down, straight in the eye, creating a plan to take this fatty out. "You know, Chubby, you can quit anytime, Just sayin'!" Dante said, standing right in front of the rope's the boxing ring had, trying to provoke king hippo into attacking him with all of his rage.

King Hippo seen Dante wasn't going to let the King get the first move and started running at him. It looked like he was going for some thrust attack... or he was going for a fake out. King Hippo stood in a prepared stance and waited to see what he does. He knows fake outs way too well, he was not going to act until it was clear what he was going for.

|kXI62i|p_1d20+3

King Hippo was not the brightest fighter but he clearly had quite a bit of experience and fake outs were way too common to miss when it came to boxing. King Hippo ducked his head as Dante flew over him and then weaved forward to avoid the strike to the head. It would seem for a large pile of fat he was actually pretty agile when it came to combat. "Ha! That the best trick ya got ya-"

p_1d20+3


As King Hippo turned around during his taunt at Dante he got blasted in the face by a series of bullets which made him clutch his face in pain. King Hippo continued rubbing his face unaware Dante was searching for his weakpoint. When he was done Dante had the nerve to do a quite average taunt. It's almost like you could hear a very faint voice in the distance. "Don't you dare fall for that pitiful taunt, Hippo..."

p_1d20-1

"Ha, that the best you got, Snow White? I heard better taunts at a charity. You will have to do better than that to trick me," King Hippo said proudly.

"... Wow... he is not a complete idiot."

"But don't feel too bad! King Hippo will give you a big hug!" Hippo said before rushing forward with surprising speed considering his girth and looking as to try and squeeze Dante in a crushing Hippo Hug. It may be best to avoid his kind apologies unless you want to be stuck in his grip.

Dante stood at attention, realizing this poison thing may be affecting his taunting skills, narrowing his eyes as he waited for the walking talking tub of lard to try and attack him. It appear's that Hippo's idea of an attack was an ultra-tight bear...hippo hug. Regardless, dante was not ready to be put into that kinda choke hold yet!

QrppX0Hhp_1d20+2=16

Dante proceeded to dodge the hug by using a Trickster-style dash to hop onto the rope's, and then leap to the right side of hippo, waving away from the "Hippo Hug." But now, dante had a genuine question for the moment. How the HELL WAS THIS GUY FASTER THAN HIM?! Dante groaned, shaking his head. Well, at least he was fast enough to avoid hippo's little attack here.

Dante proceeded to go for his Electric Guitar, Nevan, And summoned a series of electric bats by ripping out a guitar chord. These bats were mostly meant to be a distraction to king hippo, going for his eyes in order to distract him from Dante's plan.

p_1d20 (...Worst time for a sucky roll?)

Well, the bats seemed to just fly past king hippo's head. Fair enough, Dante's body cringed from the feeling of pain right when he strummed, causing them to be sent flying elsewhere. Regardless, Dante unfolded Nevan into Scythe Mode, Slashing twice across the hippo's stomach, attempting to cut the self-proclaimed King Of Hippo's armor off, via getting rid of the duct tape

p_1d20+1=19

"Jackpot!" Dante then said, preparing to bust out yet another series of ebony and ivory bullets, feeling something rustling in the back of his jacket. Dante sighed, pulling it out and realizing... "Oh wow...when did i forget these?" Dante said, as he took out an Assist trophy, the Visage of Shadow being seen inside. Well, better now than never! Dante raised the trophy to the sky, Summoning the Assistance that shadow would provide.

"Chaos....control!"

Dante smirked, looking around to see time itself slowing, as he was still fine, backing up further from the chubby king of the ring. "There we go, this'll even the odds, dont you think?" Dante asked, probably realizing that hippo would just hear dante speaking at hyper speed. And then, dante proceeded with his original plan, rittling the [hopefully] Exposed belly button of the hippo king with his bullet's!

King Hippo nearly tripped out of the ring as the agile man used the ropes to his advantage. King Hippo comically stumbled before pulling back to see the man play the guitar for some reason. Some bats flew in but they did not even seem remotely interested in King Hippo. It took no effort to evade even such an odd attack. "Gwahahahaha! Your guitar skills could use some work!" King Hippo declared.

He was too busy laughing his fat behind off to dodge the assault on his manhole cover. However the hits mainly hit the Manhole Cover dealing almost no damage to the man himself and did absolutely nothing to his tape. "What ya think ya even are attacking? I did not feel a thing! GWAHAHAHAHAHA!" King Hippo laughed. Suddenly though the demon hunter started talking like some chipmunk at a fast speed. It's like what happened when his fat touched the fast forward button when he was too close to the TV. The obese boxer put on a confused look, which was not much different with his facial structure before the bullets came at him at ludicrous speed. The King put up a defensive stance against the bullets.

p_1d20+7

The bullets were no much for his blubber or his manhole cover it would appear. The man merely gave a laugh at the feeble attempt at covering him with holes as the mach speed bullets bounced off his belly and manhole cover. Though in his current state it would appear a lot smaller than normal. "Gwahahahaha! Nice try but even this can not stop the King Hippo!" King Hippo taunted. King Hippo then  ran at Dante and feigned for an uppercut but instead made a grab for Dante's leg to slam him into the ground with harsh force.

NT1EDUP4p_1d20+2=21

Dante quickly back dashed, through, he was grabbed by the tip of his boot, lifted up, and thrown down, kicking up a clod of dust around them...Only to reveal hippo was just holding onto a now destroyed boot, With dante, now one shoe and sock short of his outfit, sighing as he pulled his other shoe and sock off, tossing them out of the way. Atleast then the outfit matched. "Well, You hurt my pride..." Dante said, hiding back the fact the mere force of hippo's slam dealt some actual damage on the side, having thrown dante a good distance after launching him right out of his shoe.


p_1d20-1=14

Dante then chuckled, as he looked up into the sky, grinning happily... "Did you know, in india, they celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights?" Dante said, suddenly changing topic, walking around the King Hippo withe the widest grin among his face. "I find it interesting, personally. Celebrates the seventh avatar, Rama-Chandara. It is believed that on this day Rama returned to his people after 14 years of exile during which he fought and won a battle against the demons and the demon king, Ravana." Dante said, continuing to explain this holiday that had 0 purpose to this fight...

Or did it?

Dante then took out a pair of what seemed to be plastic fangs, tossing them up and down. "I mention this, because, this pair of vampire fangs i got from a spooky mansion says here, 'Can only be used on, or a week before any holiday.' And today...Is one of those days~" Dante said, before sticking the teeth into his mouth, before his eyes widened, clutching his head as he seemed to be over-dosing in pain, His voice changing as if he was transforming, eyes blood shot...

Before, a sudden burst of red light surrounded dante, the sky changing its color and shade, becoming a night sky. "Hahahaha...HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Dante, after becoming a vampire, decided to ham it up to the point of comical levels. After the transformation finished, dante's coat had become flowing, wavy and torn up, his eyes bright red, teeth becoming large brutal fangs. "Hahaha....Now....Lets have some FUN!"

Dante proceeded this by summoning Nevan once again, and going again for the electric bat swarm, ripping out a hard power chord, once again going for king hippo's eyes, now planning to fully rip them out.

p_1d20+4=11

Dante then rushed behind king hippo, grabbing his neck forcefully, and biting right into him, trying to go for that Vamp 'em technique that had now become instinct for Dante. Thank you shadow, for giving me some of the most insanely over powered items ever.

p_1d20+1=17

Dante was sure his fangs had infected hippo with a vampiric curse, before forcully ripping his teeth out of the boxer's flesh, spraying blood across the field, before stepping back away from the hippo of a man. Assuming that dante had successfully bitten hippo, that is. And if he did...well...

"Now...Hippo... Lets see how well you can follow commands....Do not attack me." Dante said, commanding what was hopefully his vampiric slave from his item.

King Hippo listened to the man in the trench coat begin to speak some really weird things at hyper speed. Seriously, was it that's black hedgehog's fault everything was moving at hyper speed? It did not matter that much in the end as King Hippo was going to end this drama soon... that is until he pulled out some pair of false teeth. "Gwahahaha, does those teeth also mean your old?" King Hippo laughed until Dante started playing some mean tunes and sent out a really fast barrage of bats.

_ZXNGML4p_1d20-1

Even going half his normal speed, Hippo was able to duck and weave around the bats and bat them away with his fists. "Ha! That the best you-... Where'd he go?" King Hippo rubbed his head as the now vampire demon human disappeared.

p_1d20-1

King Hippo was not fast enough or smart enough to realize Dante ran behind him and suddenly felt a very sharp prick in his neck. He swung his arm in reaction in panic but not to much effect. The large boxer stumbleb forward as his eyes glowed red and he got a set of fangs. Though unluckily he, though filled with power, he would have to deal with Dante's orders for a while against his will. "Okay, I will not attack you." Hippo is sparing you, you still have to beat him up though.

Dante failed to realize all his taunts were now at hyper speed, so, his spiel about why his teeth were working would of been entirely useless at this point...Huh. Oh well, Made big and nasty over there get slower for a while, which, helped with the whole vampire thing a whole lot more. "Heh. Good. Now remove that sewer drain and toss it as far away as you can!" Date said, taking out Rebellion, slowly stepping closer (which, would be more like him going at a brisk jogging pace at hippo due to the assist trophy), Before reeling his sword back, and plunging it into hippo's stomach, due to the now-exposed weak spot.

Vampire power's are fun!


LmbsAarxp_1d20+1=13

Following this, Dante unveiled Nevan once more, ripping out yet another guitar riff, now hoping to use these bats to electrocute hippo's body all over, now that dante was allowed to take some free hits....

...

Dante did remember to tell him not to dodge, right?


p_1d20+4=13

And finally, as a usual ending to dante's more powerful combo's, he leaped back with an Air hike, using Pandora in it's Missile Mode, and, finishing this combo off with the usual set of several exploding rocket's in there face.

King Hippo obediently obeyed the Vampire Master of Dante and took off the manhole cover and tossed it aside. However his instincts were still telling him to dodge the Demon Hunter's attacks so he still will. The sword lunge got close to Hippo at lightning speed, giving Hippo little time to dodge the sword strike.

iD|ImE9np_1d20-1

And it turns out he had zero time to as the sword hit him straight in the gut and he clenched his stomach in pain from the blow. He was not about to give up though even as a servant. He had something worth fighting for... even if he can not remember what that was right now. Either way he now had a swarm of lightning fast bats to worry about.

p_1d20-1

And the King of the Ring expertly swerved and ducked under the bats before destroying them with an uppercut, making the attack useless. Hippo slowly felt his pride coming back but there was one more combo to worry about before he can.... What was he supposed to be doing again? Oh well, did not matter now that he had Meteor Quick missles to worry about instead.

p_1d20-1

Another successful slow mo dodge as he moved around the missles as if expertly dodging a series of fists. He then sent the last missle flying with a punch!... That accidently sent it right at Dante. It looks like the Vampire Effect won't shield Dante from accidental attacks.

He said, smirking and yet again, showing his vampire fangs, as he realized vampire time was running short now. "Ah, Looks like its one last command for you, eh?" Dante asked, smiling. "Final command then...Take all of my attacks. No defending, no dodging. Just pure damage!" Dante Commanded, before taking out Rebellion, Rushing down and going for a general Over-head swing across the hippo-king stomach.

King Hippo nodded at his vampire demon lord's command to take all the hits he was about to deal. King Hippo spread out his arms to show he was about to hug the pain full on. And hug he did as blow after blow hit the King full on and really dealt the pain. After the combo was finished the large boxer stumbled back and clenched his head as the possession reached it's end.

"Huh? What happened?" King Hippo asked before noticing the discarded Manhole cover. "You dare to cheat against the King of the Ring! Now I will show you!" King Hippo declared as he went to slam a mighty fist into Dante's face.

King Hippo ran through the missile barrage and batted each of them away with his extreme fat very muscular arms. He continued his charge at the half demon even as he pulled out nunchucks. He seemed to take some sort of stance as he took the nunchucks to the head. "You think you're all that but you ain't nothing. Your stylishness is just an act. You ain't nothing compared to the king of the ring! Here's a real blow!" King Hippo taunted as he countered Dante's nunchucks by hitting his belly against Dante.

However, it also looked like missing would make King Hippo extremely vulnerable.
