(As Kitara stands ready to fight, Tana steps up.)
Tana: Stand back. I'll face her alone.
Athena: You're joking right? You do know that she is a Heretic right? A direct descendant of an Ancient One. Not only that, but she's a firstborn. Meaning that her power is off the charts.
Kitara: You seem to know a lot about me. How is that?
Tana: We know a lot about a lot of things. It's for the best that we do in order to say two steps ahead. And as far as how we know about you, it's none of your business.
Kitara: Fine. If you aren't gonna talk, then fight me.
Tana: As you wish.
(As Tana says this, she & Kitara meet fist to fist as they begin to clash. Seemingly matched against one another, Kitara quickly takes control & begins to unleash a large barrage of strikes.)
Kitara: What's wrong? Is this the best you got?
Tana: Not by a long shot.
(As Tana says this, she spins behind Kitara, sweeps her feet & proceeds to jump & land a massive double stomp onto Kitara's back, creating a giant crater in the ground. After this, Tana jumps high into the air & fires a blast, but Kitara rolls over & puts up a magic barrier protecting her. As the smoke & dust builds, Kitara creates a magic lash & pulls Tana to her & hits her with a breathtaking knee to the gut. As this happens, Athena hops in with a kick, but Kitara moves out of the way.)
Kitara: I was beginning to wonder how long you were gonna stand on the sidelines as the fight takes place.
Athena: Enough talking. You're fighting the both of us now. Come on Owen!
(As things begin to look bad for Kitara, over by the hideout, Dante returns.)
Dante: I see that Kitara is still gone. Guess I'll wait until she returns.
(Just as Dante says this, a portal appears and Marcy falls right in front of him.)
Dante: Well that was fast.
Marcy: Crow please, you must go and help Kitara. She's in danger!
Dante: What? If she's in danger then why are you here?
Marcy: She was trying to protect me from Ragnarock.
Dante: Ragnarock?
Marcy: Yes. After I agreed to come back here with Kitara, they just suddenly appeared and said that they were after me.
(As Marcy says this, the look on Dante quickly changes to rage as he puts back on his coat & grabs his sword.)
Marcy: Are you going to save her?
Dante: I'm not just going to save her.....I'm going to kill everyone who's harmed her!
Marcy: But.....
Dante: Stay here! I'll be back shortly.
Marcy: But how are you gonna find her? Please let me help!
Dante: I work better alone.
(As Dante says this, he burst into crows & shortly reappears dashing at full speed.)
Dante: Her scent is getting stronger in this direction. Yatagarsu!
(As Dante says this, Yatagarsu suddenly appears and hops onto its back.)
(Just as Dante does this, a portal opens up alongside him & outcome Marcy landing of Yatagarsu's back.)
Dante: Didn't I say stay behind?
Marcy: I just can't sit back as Kitara is out there fighting for my sake.
Dante: Why do you even care? You don't even know her.
Marcy: While that may be true, I won't let them take her. I trust her.
Dante: With only two encounters with her, and she has already gained your trust? That is Kitara for you.
(As Dante says this, Owen & Athena both dash towards Kitara coming from both sides. Once in striking distance, they attack, but Kitara blocks their attack. Doing this though leaves her wide open for a swift & powerful kick to the gut from Tana that sends her crashing into the mountain behind her. Once all the rubble ceases to fall, Kitara makes her way up to her feet, bloodied & badly bruised.)
Tana: Must you be like this? We don't have to resort to fighting if you'd just join us.
Kitara: And why would I do that? What could you possibly do or say that could sway my mind?
Tana: We have information.
Kitara: Information? Of what kind?
Tana: We know the identity of the man who killed your parents.
Kitara: What?
Tana: You heard me. We know his name and his last known location. Maybe even his current one.
(As Tana says this, Kitara spits blood.)
Kitara: You must be out of your mind if you'd think I'd join you. Even if what you say is true, I won't betray him!
Tana: Him? As in the not so dead Dante Lockheart? Yes, that's quite an interesting story. Tell me Kitara....Where is The Bloody Crow?
(As Tana says this, Dante leaps from the Yatagarsu as its burst into crows and throws his sword piercing through Tana's right chest.)
Dante: I'm right here.
Kitara: Dante...
(As Kitara calls out his name, Dante runs over to her. At the same time, Athena rushes over to Tana's aid.)
Athena: Tana! Are you okay?!?
Tana: Ye...Yes.
Dante: I'll be taking my sword back.
(Dante opens his hand & instantly his sword comes flying back into his hand.)
Kitara: Why are you here Marcy?
Marcy: I couldn't let fight the three of them by yourself.
Kitara: Thank you.
Dante: Now then. Which one of you wants to die first? How about you Tana? You're already on Death's doorstep.
(As Dante says this, Owen springs towards Dante and they begin to clash. As they fight, Owen manages to cut Dante on his face, then back dashes to create space.)
Tana: We can't fight them. Not like this Owen.
Athena: I agree. Let's retreat.
Owen: This isn't over Bloody Crow.
(As Owen says this, they disappears.)
Dante: How are you feeling?
Kitara: Dante you're bleeding.
Dante: Its nothing. I'm more so worried about you.
(As Dante says this, Kitara places her hand on Dante's cut. As she touches his blood, her wounds slowly starts to heal to their surprise.)
Dante: You're healing? How is this possible?
Kitara: It must be the spell. Your blood healed me and quickly I might add. Good to know the spell worked.
Dante: I see. Let me take us home.
(As Dante says this, Sin appears.)
Sin: I'm afraid that you won't be joining them, Dante.
Dante: Sin.
Sin: She wants you to return to Crow's Perch now or else.
Dante: Very well then.
Kitara: Dante wait. Let me come with you.
Sin: She doesn't wish to see you Kitara. She asked for Dante only.
Dante: Don't worry. I'll be fine Kitara.
Kitara: And how do you know that?
Dante: Because who other than myself is best suited to protect you?
(As Dante says this, he and Sin both burst into crow feathers.)
