After everything...the war, the pain, the happiness, everything led up to this moment. Where good stood over evil and with one final strike, it would be over. Just..as it was before.

Dominic:*pant* Why....? Why is it always the same!? Is my power destined to be weaker than yours!? Am I destined to lose to you?! We merged with our past selves and gained their power...but how can yours shadow mine!? We gave everything up just to beat you!! And yet in the end..you would always win!!! Vergil, Nelo, Urizen, V, Gilver, we've all lost to you in some way!! Vergil..!! Why is this possible?!!

Dante: Because no matter how you look at it, you never could kill me brother..every time you had a chance to kill me, you never took it. It wasn't just for the lust for battling each other but knowing that you would be killing the last memory of a happy life you once had. Even now you held yourself back, even when you didn't know, you were.

Dominic: Don't give me any of that!! Just like Naruto your power was given to you! When Vergil and Dante first battled, you lost!! But then the tower rose as well as your power!! Then Vergil lost to Mundus and became Nelo Angelo! Then he lost to you again and again and again and AGAIN!!!

Dominic punched the ground making a small crater in it and slightly wounding himself

Dominic: You were always the favorite....your life was hard...BUT MINE WAS WORSE!! Why are you so favored!?! Why do you keep smiling after everything!?! Tell me!!

Dante: Because I make memories that make me smile. Though my time on this earth is short...I made friends and memories that make me happy to be here and to die here with them. You have too Dominic. You made friends, enemies, memories that you can cherish.

The memories of everything Dominic, Vergil, V had experienced flooded through his mind. The joy, the happiness, the hardships. Everything was there for him to view. From the first time he smiled, to the time he met Snake and EVA, the cherished moments in his life were all still there even when he gets rid of them.

Dominic held his head down and sobs while smiling at the good memories in his head. His once closed off mindset was now open to everything. His heart unfrozen from its icy prison. He was finally at peace...

Dominic:*sobs* So...I take it you will end this like it always will...

Dante raised Devil Sword Dante above his head and Dominic closed his eyes, waiting to join his friends in death but that death would have to wait as Dante stabbed his sword into the ground and held out his hand for his brother to take.

Dante: Come on, we're wasting time.

Dominic: .......

Dominic grabs his brothers hand and Dante pulls him up and the twins run away from the destruction around them but were soon stopped by demons appearing out of portals

Dante: Oh great...

Dominic: We've fought bigger threats in the last hour.

Dante: Ha! How right you are bro!

The twins engage the threat together, the exhilaration of fighting side by side once more was a thrill they had not felt in so long. Dante puts away his sword and spins Ebony and Ivory around while Dominic slashes a demon coming at him

Dominic: Don't you dare say it!!

Dante: JACKPOT!!
