[A familiar smirk comes to Dante's face as he shrugs.] Like I'm gonna let something like this keep me from going out. That's not the kind of guy I am.

"Isn't it?" [The voice that breaks into their conversation is sharp, hostile--and one Dante recognizes, judging from the way he stiffens. He grits his teeth as it continues:] "You ran away from the darkness because you were too scared to embrace the power it offered you."

You're wrong. That's not what he did, and even if it was, it's got nothing to do with me!

"Is that really true? Then why don't I show you what you truly are!"

[Across the way from them, a giant pool of darkness appears in the street, something dark and shadowy starting to pull its way out of it. Dante swears under his breath before glancing over to Souji.]

You might wanna get out of here while you can. I've got a feeling this guy's not about to go easy on us.

[ when souji hears that sudden voice come out of nowhere, he immediately goes on guard. this has... a very familiar feel to everything and once the large shadowy monster appears, he immediately thinks about to his memories inside the tv world. is... this something like that? or is it something completely different? there's no time to wonder about that now, though, so he readies himself with his sword and shakes his head at dante ]

Not a chance. Besides, I'm the one here with a weapon, you know.

[ the last sentence is said with a humorous tone ]

[darkinferno]

[There's a huff of amusement from Dante, a wry smirk as he pulls his Keyblade from midair.]

Who said anything about that?

[But that's all the argument he'll give; he's seen at least one of Souji's personas before and he's got that sword on him. If he's ready to take on the Darkside alongside him, Dante won't turn down the offer!

Meanwhile, the Darkside has completely pulled itself up and out of the ground, arms spread wide. It turns toward the two of them, moving oddly delicately on its feet, but as it looks down at them and prepares for its first blow it looks anything but.]

I hope you know how to use that thing. Let's go!
