"ZA WUARDO!" nothing happened " no powers, im guessing beating lilith turned me mortal" dante looked at his phone at the author's number "maybe he's got something planned"  unable to get to the counsel of dante, our hero went to a bar he helped create called 'multiversal pub', dante sat down and ordered a strawberry sunrise on the rocks as a voice called out to him "still into my drink huh?" dante turned to the voice and smiled "hey yang, it's been a while"

yang smiled and sat next to dante "so whats got you so down? something happen with blake  oh wait wrong variant haha" dante laughed  then sighed "yang, im powerless, i can't even use my stand" this shocked yang "wait, so you're a powerless dante? but i thought only 38 variants existed now" dante shrugged " i guess im variant number 39, hell im not even married" dante sighed "ya know what fuck it, yang you wanna get drunk as fuck?" one drink turned into 2 then into 4 and then 6 eventually yang and dante were hammered as all get out "and i said get bent vamp bitch hahah"

8 hours later

dante groaned and opened his eyes " ugh dude what happened" yang laughed "well someone cant hold their drink" dante rolled over and looked at yang "oh shut up" dante rolled over on top of yang " ready for round 4?" yang blushed

after wild morning sex yang and dante lay breathless in bed, yang cuddling close to dante as she fell asleep.

meanwhile in the tekken universe

nero lay in a pool of blood as he looked up at the man who nearly killed him, kazuya "i'll take chloe back you bastard and if not me then dante will kill you" kazuya laughed (FLASH BACK) nero had entered the king of iron fist 20 and had made it to the semi-finals but the tekken force had kidnapped lucky chloe, nero having faith in his powers  and his stand exodia  the forbidden tempest nero went on a rampage slaughtering every tekken force member untill he came face to face with kazuya, the man who took lucky chloe "WHERE IS SHE!?" nero shouted as he rushed at kazuya both clashing in a battle that shook the dante-verse "baka" kazuya said with a smirk as he corkscrew kicked nero away into a wall as nero looked up he saw lucky chloe hanging in the air "CHLOE!" nero shoted as nero called forth his stand "EXODIA!" kazuya clashed with kazuya as nero  looked for a way to get chloe down, nero noticed a rope that led up tp chloe so nero threw a knife at the rope setting chloe free, this action angered kazuya as he rushed at chloe with intent to kill but nero threw himself infront of chloe as kazuya's fist went through nero's chest "c-chloe...-r-run" nero fell to the ground (END OF FLASH BACK) nero looked up at kazuya "when dante finds out, he'll..k-kill you" what nero didn't know was that lucky chloe ran to dante's home in hopes of saving nero. using his stand power nero was able to heal himself but he had to avoid that punch cause he can only heal once every 12 hours. lucky chloe made it back to dante's where she told dante what happened , the tale of events made dante angry as he and lucky chloe returned to the tekken -verse but when dante arrives he saw kazuya ripping his hand from nero's chest "NERO!!" dante ran at kazuya and roundhouse kicked kazuya away as he kneeled down next to his friend " hey nero, you gotta heal" nero told dante he already healed once as dante looked at kazuya his rage boiling over "KAZUYA!!!!" dante looked at his motionless friend as he stood up " rest well my friend" dante turned back to kazuya " MISHIMA!!, im coming for you , you bastard this is for everyone you killed, everyone you hurt this ...is...for NERO!!" dane's rage pushed him over the edge as dante ascended to his final form

"KAZUYA, THIS IS THE END FOR YOU!!!"
