GCB Fanfics: Vs. Mode

Vs. Mode - Dante vs. Ryo


"We're back, folks. After the chilling discovery of Duke's body in his locker room, security here at Shadow Moses Island has been beefed up considerably. We have no idea how this tragedy could have happened, but the GCB commissioner has ordered a full investigation."

Lucca adds, "Meanwhile, specialized healers are trying to revive the dead gunman. It's possible, especially given that Aeris and Sephiroth were in last year's tournament. And the reason for the malfunction of the force barriers has been found. I won't say anything except that the responsible parties have been harshly dealt with."

"Now that that's out of the way, it's time for the last match of the night." The Devil May Cry Theme plays as Dante enters the stadium. "A demon slayer extraordinaire, Dante returns to the GCB after last year's victory against Q*Bert and his subsequent defeat at the hands of Crono."

Dante steps up as the theme to Shenmue is heard. "Ryo Hazuki's story is a tragic one. His father was killed before his very eyes, and he now seeks his father's killer for revenge. Ryo is also a returning competitor, defeating Guybrush Threepwood before getting gunned down by Lara Croft," Lucca says as Ryo hops into the ring. "Only one of them will make it to the second round this year. Who do you think it will be, Brock?"

"Dante, no question. Ryo has his martial arts, but his skills are nowhere near the level of a Ryu. Dante's long sword, twin handguns, and his devastating Devil Trigger will be too much for the boy to handle."

"Players, to your positions. Player 1, ready?"

"Ready," Dante calmly says as he unsheathes Merciless.

"Player 2, ready?"

"Ready," Ryo replies.

"Combatants ready. Raise force barriers. Match 28, Dante vs. Ryo Hazuki. 3, 2, 1... fight!"

"Power's on; game's started! Dante runs towards Ryo for a slash, but the boy rolls out of the way. Ryo grabs Dante and puts him into a Wild Throw! The demon slayer gets back up and tries a Stinger."

"Ryo dodges and responds with one of his most powerful moves, Machine Gun Fist! I don't know how many times Ryo connected, but it was enough to send Dante to the ground. Ref-Bot is beginning to count, but I think this fight is far from over."

"It looks like you're right, Lucca. Dante is back on his feet, where he activates his Devil Trigger! Ryo looks pretty startled to see his opponent transform into a fierce red demon with an impressive wingspan."

"Ryo simply doesn't have a chance now. The boy executes a Double Storm Kick, but Dante looks hardly fazed as he moves towards his opponent. Ryo's got nowhere to run as Dante uses High Time! Dante leaps up and finishes with a downward slash. For those at home worrying about Ryo, Dante looks like he held back quite a bit. The moves he showed tonight are nowhere near what the demon slayer is capable of. Ryo won't be getting up, but he is still alive, and we are all grateful for that."

"Winner: Dante."

"Ryo was able to do some damage, but the demon slayer used his Devil Trigger to take him down. Dante advances to meet Ryu in the second round," Brock summarizes.

"That will do it for us here on Shadow Moses Island. We'll be back, live from Skull Stadium, for the last four matches of the first round. For Brock and Max, I'm Lucca. Join us again, if you please, next time on Vs. Mode!"
