Attacking Arkham right away may not be the smartest move but Dante relishes in the look of surprise that flits across Arkham's face right before he predictably teleports out of the way. He'll relish smashing in Arkham's face even more right before he guts the man, if he can catch him. That will take some doing, especially with the state Dante is now in, but if Arkham is here… If Arkham is here, alive, and this is really real… Vergil.
Dante doesn't want to let himself hope when he can't be entirely certain as to what this is but part of him hopes anyways. That same part of him wants for him to race to the top of Temen-ni-gru where Vergil will be waiting for him, if this is really what he thinks it is, but then what?
What is Dante supposed to say to Vergil? The truth? That he's not the little brother that Vergil knows? That Vergil will fall to Mundus just like before if he insists on fighting with Dante? That Dante might have to kill him again if that happens? Dante can't bear the thought of losing Vergil again. Not by his own hands and certainly not to Mundus. Dante would rather die before he lets that happen again but first…
Dante tightens his grip on Rebellion as he pivots on his heel to survey his office. Arkham has vanished completely and Dante surmises that the wannabe demon has run back to Vergil. He growls to himself, upset at the thought of Arkham being anywhere near his brother, and turns back around to look out at the city.
For a moment nothing seems to happen. No devils nor demons pop up behind him in his shop like the first time, not that he minds, but the difference is enough to make him doubt. Then the ground trembles and various alarms start to blare in the distance while the buildings no more than a few blocks away start to shift and then fall apart.
The blackened tower, unmistakeable, rises and before Dante can even think about it he's bolted, heading directly for Temen-ni-gru. That he's barefoot and armed only with Rebellion doesn't matter to him at this particular moment. He really doesn't need anything more than Rebellion and, once awakened, his demonic blood.
Dante swears that he catches a glimpse of blue, oh so vivid and the exact shade that he remembers Vergil to be wearing, just as the top of Temen-ni-gru leaves his sight and his heart lurches. Vergil is really here. He's alive. It's the only thoughts circulating through Dante's head as he pushes himself to move faster, to get to Vergil faster.
Demons finally start to make their appearance, all of them familiar enough, but Dante simply ignores them and just narrowly makes it past Love Planet when one of the buildings topples over onto the street behind him. He ignores that too, continuing on past where a Divinity Statue sits atop some rubble off to the right, and slows down as he reaches the icy entrance to the tower.
Dante scowls as he looks from the entrance up towards the distant top of the tower, his grip going tight on Rebellion once again. Scaling the outside of the tower will be close to an impossible task with how he currently is, from the demonic leviathan circling around the tower to the various other flying demons and devils, but he's buzzing with impatience and not really wanting to go through the gauntlet of trials that awaits him inside of Temen-ni-gru. Well, he knows how to rectify that.
There's no hesitation, not even the tiniest bit, as Dante turns Rebellion on himself and drives it through his sternum. It hurts, more so than is usual by virtue of having to pierce through his own heart, but it is a necessary pain and he grits his teeth through it. Hardly a second passes before Rebellion pulses and it is akin to a heartbeat that he can feel throughout his entire body. With it comes a rush of power that he eagerly embraces, setting his blood alight as he transforms with a primal roar.
It's hard to perfectly describe what it's like to regain the senses Dante had grown accustomed to over the span of twenty years, senses that he had come to rely on, but he can only equate it to drawing in a breath of air and being able to feel every aspect of it whereas before it had been so substantially less. He doesn't dwell on the differences too much because now that his demonic blood is awakened and his senses are back he finally quashes any doubts that he might have had.
There's no mistaking it. Dante can clearly feel Vergil at the top of Temen-ni-gru and that cements his decision to scale the outside of the tower. He's not going to wait a second longer to see his brother and he's certainly not going to let Arkham get anywhere near either of them ever again, consequences be damned.
