Vergil stepped toward Gigachad and Sonic, who were already exhausted from fighting each other. “Bury the Light” was getting even louder with every step he took. He didn’t seem to make eye contact with them, though. He was looking between them.

Sonic was still able to take a fight, but even he knew this guy was bad news. “Heh, did Shadow give you that outfit?”

Vergil furrowed his brow and turned to Sonic. “Who?”

“Oh, you know, looks kind of like me, a little shorter, but waaaaay edgier and always going on about that Ultimate Lifeform mumbo jumbo.”

Gigachad smirked. “Based.”

Again, Vergil was confused and slightly insulted. “You don’t belong here. It’s time for me to clean this mess up.”

Gigachad and Sonic exchanged a quick glance, and suddenly Vergil leapt forward, slashing at Gigachad. Gigachad blocked the sword attack with his arms, but was thrown back into a building, a massive crater where he impacted.

It was just Sonic and Vergil, standing in the alley, locked eyes.

Sonic gulped. “Alright weirdo, can’t we talk-”

Vergil flashed forward, slashing at Sonic. Sonic ducked it, the sword a hair away from Sonic’s nose. Vergil continued a barrage of slashes. Sonic ducked an upward slash, then a downward slash, then a sideways one, then Vergil finally hit Sonic with a stab!

Sonic flew back into the wall next to Gigachad, who was still reeling from the hits on a knee, catching his breath. They shared a look as Sonic picked himself up, Gigachad still reeling.

Sonic held his hand out to Gigachad. “Come on up, buddy, I’m not gonna be able to beat this guy alone.”

Gigachad seemed confused at first, wondering why Sonic would help him after he tried to kill Sonic, but it didn’t need to make sense. Gigachad smiled and took Sonic’s hand, rising to the occasion.

“Based.”

“You seem to say that a lot,. No hard feelings then, eh?”

“Yes.”

Gigachad and Sonic squared up to Vergil, who was standing there waiting, his katana sheathed again. He readied himself in a stance to draw and slash out at the two fighters.

Gigachad smirked at Sonic, and they both took off in opposite directions at impossible speeds. The Sigma edit music grew into a powerful clash against Bury the Light, like Gigachad’s power levels were rising with the power of friendship!

Sonic spin-dashed into Vergil from the right, and Gigachad smashed into him from the left. Just as Vergil reacted to Gigachad, Sonic spun around Vergil, throwing him up in a whirlwind into the air. Gigachad leaped and ax kicked Vergil back down onto the ground.

A flash of lightning erupted from the ground and Vergil was suddenly in his Devil Form. He whipped up and punched Gigachad, who blocked! Gigachad’s arms held strong against Vergil’s punch, but they were breaking, losing strength. Sonic launched up and kicked Vergil’s head one, two, three powerful blows, but Vergil didn’t react.

Then, just like when Vergil appeared, reality started crumbling into glass around them. Vergil let off of Gigachad and then kicked him away, whirling around toward the shattering reality. The dark Chicago alley changed, broke away.

“Stomp fighmting, Vermgil.” A voice echoed through the glass until reality finally shattered, and the battlers found themselves in Japan, beneath cherry blossoms. At the entrance of the park was a strange Shiba Inu dog wearing a rice hat, wielding a katana of his own.

Vergil dropped his Devil Form. “What do you mean? Aren’t these the rogue OCs?”

“No,” Cheems pointed to a figure which was hiding in a dumpster before. “He ims.”

Vergil’s eyes filled with fear. “Im-impossible! He’s been dead for years!”

“He hasm returmed.” Cheems suddenly appeared between the fighters, his crushing aura palpable. None of these fighters were to Cheems’ caliber.

A mess of Korn, Shinedown, and System of a Down emanated from this rogue OC. Finally, he spoke, darkness and edge to his voice like he was uttering curses straight from the deepest void of the realms beneath Hell. “Blood Slash.”

A streak of red energy cascaded from his impossibly fast movements, but Cheems raised his katana. “Cheemsburger.” A cheeseburger appeared in front of them all, absorbing the blow, but Cheems was already sweating.

“Stamd bamck.” Gigachad, Sonic, and Vergil backed out of the way, ready to help if Cheems needed it. “Bloomdemdge the Grimffin, I am yourm oppomnent.”

Bloodedge the Griffin didn’t even react. He just said “Meh…”

Cheems frowned. This fight wasn’t going to be easy.
