Meanwhile all of this was happening . . .
Dante and Trish had just finished their difficult mission which was to seal a Hell Gate Portal which was slowly releasing Demon after Demon. Luckily though, those demons hadn't of left the general area. Combining their skills together with their pistols and Dante's Rebellion Sword and various styles, they successfully closed the Gate.
"
Whew. Glad all that's over." "Not yet, Trish. That Gate can still be opened, and we need to get rid of it. Lucifier!" Dante called out as he pulled the Devil Arm known as Lucifier and destroyed the Hell Gate by launching several pink sword-like projectiles into it in the form of a Heart, and throwing a rose at the center point in order to trigger all the explosions.
"
Aww~ Quit being such a show off, Dante." "Can't help it if I'm just that awesome now can I? Now, weren't we asked to help out with something?" "
Oh yeah. Didn't that girl need help with a certain demon?" "Might as well see if we can't lend a hand." And so they set out back to his shop in the City of Avalon.
After a long while of travel, they made it back and discovered that the group had already set out on their way with Eliza. "Hmm... Guess they had already taken off. Hey Trish, any way to track this?" No response. "Trish?" Still no response. "Trish?!" "
What?" "Would do me some good if you actually responded to me the first time. How are we to track them?" "
Already on it. Go that way and then take a sharp left and then just keep following the trail until you find them." "Wait. "You" and "You", meaning you're not coming?" "
No. While I was tracking them, I had been assigned another job. You're on your own, hotshot." "Great. The girls don't even hang around me long enough..." "
I heard that Dante." "Is that okay with you?" "
Ugh. Just go."
"Alright. Fine. I'm going." And then he stormed out of his own shop hands up as Trish just watched him leave.
After more time passing after he followed Trish's instructions on how to find them, he eventually did after numerous trial and error approaches. From observation it would appear that it was a long alleyway of sorts. Deciding to play it cautiously this time around, he climbed a small rooftop and stepped over to see the ones that had followed Eliza on their task, and immediately spotting Ben among them. "(Hey. It's that kiddo with the Watch, although still can't call him kiddo... Time is weird. I'm guessing they picked someone up along the way? I do not remember him. And I guess that's Eliza? But why are they confronting her? Unless... Hmm. Guess that Demon really was dangerous, huh? Oh wait, she's speaking.)" He muttered to himself as he leaned in from the rooftop to eavesdrop on the conversation:
❝ It looks like I can't force you to realize that I'm slowly crafting a world without pain and suffering. No right or wrong. No death or murder. I've done the worst for obtain this power... but I'll ensure that my actions will be the last this world will have to face. ❞ Eliza continued to banter, strangely getting more obsessed with this ideal to a perfect paradise. Just as Ghostfreak managed to see that there wasn't anything actually possessing Eliza, she released an excess amount of energy that would force him out. Surely the Seven Deadly Sins meant that she allowed the seven demons that represent those Sins to inhabit her body, but it wasn't a possession. It was more of her leeching those demons to give herself these abilities in the first place. How a human like her managed to gain control over those seven demons without being possessed, it was a feat that seemed impossible but yet it was done.
❝ Now, you've heard it all and want to back out? I can't let that slide, especially when I've kept my work hidden away well from the Coalition and all. ❞ She sounded disappointed with their stance on the matter, but figured that they knew too much to let go now. Rolling up her left sleeve, she brushed her hand over the screen of her wristwatch.
❝ PWM module shift 01, proxy on. ❞ Eliza recited the voice commands needed for her strange device stored inside her wristwatch. A projection of a mechanized knight appeared before her, but even as a projection, it was somehow taking physical form. No other orders were issued from Eliza, but the knight charged forward, holding a lance in preparation to pierce right into Wyatt.
"Sorry, lass. But I don't think I'll be letting that happen any time soon." Came a voice from the rooftop as Dante dropped down towards the group and stood by the two's sides against Eliza. Planting his huge Rebellion Sword against his left shoulder, he moved his right hand forward expressively.
"That regal look suits you. Such a shame however that since you have a demon inside of you, I can't let you just waltz around doing your own thing knowing you could just spiral out of control." He then saw that Ben had transformed into a cube that also transformed into a Fighter Jet? "Your transformations get weirder and weirder every time I see them, Benny. But I guess now's not the time for talking." He then looked towards Wyatt and shined him a thumbs up. "Can't exactly remember who you are, but I guess you also fell for this girl's trickery? You two might want to give me a recap once this is finished." He exclaimed before turning towards Eliza and assuming a offensive stance, even taunting her as well.
"Let's dance."
