The Nightmare Appears!
Vergil walks into the stage to announce something: He has seen a new source of power like he never has before, and he seeks the one who possesses it. Moments afterward, The evil appears itself: Nightmare Todd has come. However, as if mockingly, he is not here to fight Vergil, for he is weakened and would not make a digne adversary. He instead,sends out his lowest-ranked minion to test Vergil: The terrible Janny. Easily beaten by even a Weakened Vergil, this pathetic creature proves that Vergil is powerful enough to be useful to Todd, and he appears behind Vergil and grabs him, his fate afterward, unknown...

Leon, now in the hospital, wakes up in a weakened state, having been brought there by the always trusty Fred. However, a new horror awaits him in his room; the Boglogical Weapons Donte and Vorgil are here, and claim he is their father. They have tied up Fred, and tell Leon their story...

After Chris's assault, the Therapist steps into the ring to make two important announcements: 1. Two weeks after the attack, Chris has fallen in a coma from which he can't wake up. luckily, Claire is taking care of him. 2.To kick the ass of whoever did that to Chris. At this point, the transmission is hijacked by none other than Todd "The Nightmare" Howard; Revealing that after unlocking his demon powers, he has obtained the ability to do a " Mind-Link ": He's using Leon and Chris ' minds to sustain his power. Using this, he has achieved his Second Form. His true plan is to obtain enough power to take the Qliphoth 's fruit, gaining The Ultimate Power, which will allow him to bend our Baseline Reality into the Howard Reality. Afterwards, Todd sends his Middle-Ranked Minion: Fargoth. The Rapist wins, and in a risky move, offers compassion to Fargoth, who is now believed to have been Untodded.

The Rapist confronts The Demon!
The Therapist returns to the ring, and seeks the demon that has caused this to Chris. However, he does not seek a fight: He seeks to peacefully settle this(Not very smart to try to talk it out with a demon in retrospective). He demands this vile "Todd" appear before him, if that's even his real name. However, a mysterious figure resembling Vergil appears before him, and doesn't seems like he wanted to talk. Why could this figure have taken the Therapist?

HUNK retires!? The champion of /v/ is no more!
A week after defeating his previous Boss, HUNK reflects on the fact that he's just become a mercenary, and as a mercenary he sure as shit wouldn't accept this pay for a job like this. He don't care about The Tournament nor that Demon, and returns to HQ. However, TFR still has his contract, and decides to send a Goodbye party to HUNK.

Lil' Zoom calls his dad after his last bottle of S O Y tasted kind of funny, but it turns out that what Zoomy was drinking was instead Bogdabot Vile, obviously the source of his newfound demon powers. What will happen to Zoomer from now on...

In the end, it has to be this way
Armstrong comes to announce that he will be cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase. He will fight Jack and prove that he deserves the Title by being the stronger one, beating him fair and square.

(Almost) Revelations
Richtofen talks to the mysterious woman who appeared in his battle against Chosen Hunter, revealing a number of things. The Doctor formed a desperate alliance with an unknown entity (Most likely Samantha Maxis, since she is referred to as "Devil child" and "young lady", while she herself refers to Edward as "Teddy", a nickname that only she really uses.), he used the Summoning Key to temporarily steal the soul of a girl (Kirigiri, probably. Who else has long purple hair and wears a suit-skirt combo in TFR-verse?) and put the entity's soul in its' place, and that something will happen once the entity is sent back. Does that mean Richtofen is a necropedophile..?

Dante returns from his vacation
Dante returns to the party, and is hella gonna beat Nelo Angelo into Vergil back again

Meeting of Demon and Humanity
V calls for his demon side in the only way he can: with Poetry. He shall beat his demonic side and restore the good that once was in the Son of Sparda

The Wrath of Gamers
Adachi approaches Richtofen, demanding that Richtofen hands over his "bitch" (aka Kirigiri) so she can be "punished for her crimes against society", or else he will face the mighty wrath (read: massive jobbing) of gamers. Knowing that Adachi lost against Chad, Richtofen seemed to pay no attention to this threat, though for whatever reason he was wearing a bulletproof vest...

The Nightmare reaches his Final Form: Todd obtains the Sin Fruit!?
It seems while everyone else was busy fighting his minions and trying to save their friends, Todd didn't waste time like a puny Bond Villain and went and got the Qliphoth's Fruit all by himself. He would need terrifying power for that; and now he's EVEN STRONGER. What terrifying power awaits in his Ultimate and strongest form:  Demon King Todd 

The Virgin true identity vs THE CHAD PLOT TWIST
The Chad announcement: After partying and fucking bitches(thing you virgins probably don't understand), he reveals that Chad is merely a Persona too, he's tired of observing Adachi's actions, and he reaches out to the truth.

The Agents of Payne
It turns out, Payne wasn't really killed by 47, but was merely pretending to fill out the contract and was having a vacation in brazil. In reality, they are good friends, and their real objective is Battler.

47 also had a few words to say before the match:

Dutch and Pegasus plan to stop The Nightmare
It seems notice of Todd's actions has passed around, and people are making preparations for what would be a confrontation of epic proportions. Meanwhile Dutch, making plans to become rich as always, makes one that includes the great Pegasus. Rushing to tell him, convinced that it would amuse him enough to join in his whacky nonsense, he is let down to know Pegasus already has a plan to stop the Demon King himself, and that he wants nothing to do with any of his stupid ideas, Dutchy-boy.

Mad Dog saves the Mystery
After Fred's terrible defeat, Todd's Minions Fargoth and Janny decided that they had enough with this guy annoying his master's plan, and try to end him once for all, when suddenly, The Mad Dog of the Nishida Family himself, Goro Majima, appears and stops The Order's attempt at Fred's life, making them retreat.

If anyone had to guess as why, Majima probably deemed Fred too worthy an opponent to not be beaten by himself.

Bitches and Whores
After winning her match against Pieck, Kirigiri is suddenly and violently assaulted by Tohru Adachi, who obviously considers her a BITCH and a WHORE for cheating on OP with Richtofen and not following Adachi's advice when he told Richtofen that women don't belong on the ring. Bitch deserved it GAMERS RISE UP.

Fred's Struggle
After waking up in the hospital, weak and defeated, Vorgil restrains Fred with a "No Way, Fag!" after being saved by Majima since he can't stand being defeated by Todd. Meanwhile, The Sons of Sperdo themselves are pretty battered up after fighting The Bakers.

Pegasus' Plan is on: Rise the Army against the Demon Lord!
Pegasus reveals that he will be funding the plan against Demon King Todd with his infinite money (He could easily defeat him one on one but he just doesnt feel like it, OK?). Despite Dutchy-boy wanting to be his second, he aldeady had chosen someone to lead the troops: Erwin Smith, being both old friends, he knows he is capable of this role. Next week, the best of the best, the top dogs, the absolute gods of The Final Rumble will be recruited into this Elite Team with one and only one objective: ''Plan one final attack on Toddy-boy. This will be our last Gamble. ''

Adachi rises up: Yu's defeat leads Adachi to join the Demon King!
A recording of Adachi's speech last night: After defeating that idiot, and with his highschooler friends back in Inaba, probably watching in horror as Adachi mercilesly curbstomped Yu on live TV, Adachi announces that the world will change Today; Todd Howard has the power needed to do it, and Adachi wants in on it. No more Chads, Veronicas, Sluts or Whores, the world will be brighter tomorrow, after all, we will RISE UP.

Dante returns to his senses
Almost a month after being attacked by The Order, Dante wakes up in the hospital, and after inquiring with the doctor, decides he has had enough in an hospital bed and it's time to return to the ring. Also, Dante asks the doc to not allow his friend to go, since in his state he would just be D E A D W E I G T H.

Failed Contracts and Bloody Rivalries
In some alleyway, a battered Man and an Assassin lay down, defeated once again. They failed another contract to defeat their target. How could we fail? We are the best Assassin and Vigilante, forming a Tag Team group. That should cover all of each other's weaknesses. It's all the fault of that bloody haired Japanese man, we should have been able to kill him and fulfill our contract. Weren't we good enough? We always terminated our targets up until this point. Maybe this isn't our thing anymore. But what do we do then? Nowhere to go... I... don't know. Another contract, if we can pull another job we should be back in the game, and we won't fail next time. Yeah...

Nero wakes up from the beating
Nero wakes up in a hospital bed and instantly regains his senses(probably from his jobber genes). He calls the Doc (and remembers he has to call Kyrie). The good doctor tells him that dante left some time ago, and told him to not let the  DEADWEIGHT  go after him. Immediately after hearing the D-WORD, Nero goes full autism and practically no_scopes through the hospital doors after grabbing the Tomboy seeking Dante in a jobber-fueled rage. Will he catch him in time? It seems in the rush he forgot to take his Daily Dose, oh no!

Erwin's Plan! The Counter-Todd Task Force is formed!
On a conference room inside the Pegasus Secret Complex, Commander Erwin explains the counter-attack plan he has formed to defeat the Nightmare King. The unamused group, formed by The Final Rumble 's stars of Fred Jones, Goro Majima, Billy Herrington and Ricardo Milos, isn't certain this plan is legit and disagree with it, Majima in particular calls him a con man. At this point, Maximillion Pegasus, the Producer of this operation, walks into the room and praises his dear friend Erwin's plan, and reminds everyone what will happen if they don't follow the plan: Todd will form the Howard Reality...and he will also send them to the Shadow Realm! Commander Erwin continues his speech, and announces that Pegasus has hired the famous group of "Mystery Men" to join his forces, not as frontline fighters, but as investigators and spies, forming the "Intelligence Team" of this operation, they are going to discover the secrets of the Devil Lord, his demon powers, and his "Servants". And with that, the meeting ends. Go forth, valiant team of heroes! DEDICATE YOUR HEARTS!

Noble Sacrifice from a Demon's Humanity
Moments before Nelo Angelo destroys Dante, V rushes and throws him offstage, runs to the other side, and in a dash throws himself into Nelo and forces him to merge back together into the Alpha and the Omega: Vergil

We'll never forget his sacrifice. F.

The Alpha and The Omega: Vergil's Return
Vergil returns, after being saved from the Demon's claws by his own humanity, and mentions that he was far stronger than anticipated, but alas, it is not true power: The Demon King uses his powerful Mind-Link even on his minions to grant himself power. If the pillars fall, so will the tower too, the key to defeating the Dark Lord lies in defeating his subordinates. "Vergil: If you wish to defeat Todd Howard, you must start with his minions, and then strike quickly. Now, Show me your Motivation!"

Preparation for the Final Confrontation: The Todd Strike Force begins their Training Arc!
Commander Erwin calls for a meeting after obtaining the Investigation Team's totally legit report that they obviously didn't just copy the info that Vergil announced live on TV and was 100% original research. It appears Todd's army don't just make Todd's ranks, but also grant him his power with his "Mind-Link" technique. Erwin develops a plan based on a two-part attack to be executed next week: The team will be divided in two groups; One will defend the Locker–A key tactical position that Todd's forces will no doubt retaliate, and the other will proceed to the frontlines against Todd's Order members. This way, The Demon's strenght will be reduced by taking down his minions. And when he's at the lowest we can bring him, we shall knock him down. Before that, the team will need to train to be ready for the fight, fightinge each other with honor, and with all their might, for the demon will be ruthless and without compassion. Without further ado, let the Training Arc commence! The meeting concludes. DEDICATE YOUR HE-

"*SLAM*"

The Master of the Dungeon Ring
Van Darkholme isn't happy about being dethroned by a bunch of pussy-ass investigators, and wants the belt that righteously belongs to the GachiMuchi men. These pansy so called "Mystery Masters" aren't the masters of no dungeon. If Battler wants to be a master, his Deep Dark Fantasies can be fulfilled, and this time, a baldy won't fail any contracts, the fun begins and ends here. So strap in, Mystery Masters, because we are gonna play, and gonna play ROUGH!

Sweet Pareidolia
Continuing right off the discovery that the pages of Kronorium have been changed, Richtofen confirms the fact that distortions have begun. WIth the trials ahead. he has no choice, but to put on his gameface. And as such, the recap begins. It is revealed that Robert and Mr. America have been trapped from existence in a timeloop, and no one had noticed that. Their match has even been replaced almost instantly. The loop seems... familiar to him. He continues on, citing that later, a match between a man from another timeline and two men who should have been banished fought, as if it was supposed to be. No one had even batted an eye. Peering into the Kronorium, Richtofen screams in horror, because the Temple of Shangri-La and The Focusing Stone have been found. But... by who?

Shirei-kan no shippai
Erwin failed, he wasn't strong enough, he was defeated again, and this time not in a training session. Pegasus was there, he saw it, he can't allow his troops to be led by someone not strong enough to defeat the demon lord, Erwin failed one too many times, he can't allow this to continue. Pegasus had to sadly cut all ties to his old friend from the Counter-Todd Task Force. This sadly seems to seem the end of Commander Erwin leading the forces against the Devil, but who will lead them now?

Demons Hunting Demons, and the Devil May Cry
After recovering from Dante's severe beating, Nero rushes backstage to find him leaving along Vergil. Nero finds they are gonna do what Demon Hunters do best: ''End Todd Howard. ''Maybe Vergil doesn't want Nero inexpertly trying to help them, or maybe he cares about his son, but he assures Nero that they cant take him alone. The Yamato's power can separate things, and Howard's power doesn't belong to him, so it should be able to separate the humanity from him, and make it like he originally was. And being his power unnatural to him, it won't last long disembodied. Nero's not happy that they will fight someone who controls reality, but Dante reaffirms that Nero must defend the Locker Rooms, since that "Joker" guy could strike under Todd's order at any time. But do they really expect Nero to stay while they go? It is just because of that they can go with peace of mind, because they are sure Nero will protect everyone. And most importantly...Nero has to stay and protect Kyrie. And with that Vergil reminds Dante to make haste, for it's time to go, and they leave without saying even their goodbyes, for Nero knows they will return.

Travis and Armstrong's Feud
After defeat in the hands of a Big Guy, Armstrong comes into the stage to taunt Travis about their future match, and the both exchange hits a few times. Who will win the upcoming match for the /v/ Title?

The Demon King War - Todd Howard's Gamble
The Demon King is well aware he is being hunted, he begun all of this and he was human once after all, but that leaves him no choice but end this war - by force. However, focusing on shaping reality, he is in no condition to step on the ring to destroy the resistance himself, so he has to rely on making a gamble: He will release a terrible beast to destroy hi opponents, however this very beast could destroy him on the spot if he saw him in such state. How foolish, It is a risk that needs to be taken.

"D.K. Todd: Come forth, demon hunters. And face my power."

Dedication of the Heart - Erwin's Sacrifice
Erwin walks into the stage of hell: Detroit. Even if he knows what he has to do and in his heart knows that this will be his end, he walks fearlessly with a smile on his face, for he has not the choice to fear; this distraction is crucial to defeat Demon King Todd. He enters the cage and does the ritual, and the beast is summoned: behind him appears Doomguy and breaks free from the cage. He's far too strong, even for what Erwin had anticipated, but he still has a chance: Erwin climbs to the top of the cage, Doomguy following quickly behind him like the maddened beast he is. The both stare at each other, only one of them is gonna come out alive of this duel, and they know it. Doomguy runs at Erwin as he slowly walks into him and counters his kick, throws him down and assesses the situation: the only way to come alive is to throw him down, or suicide dive along with him trying; he pushes Doomguy to the edge, but he knocks over Erwin and kicks him to the edge instead. As all hope is lost, he suplexes Erwin and throws him over the edge, falling to his end. As he falls, everyone screams, but not Erwin: he did what he had to do, he sacrificed himself for his friends, and that's all that matters.

This marks the end of the great Commander of the Counter-Todd Strike Force: Erwin Smith, Soldier and dear friend. His sacrifice will not be forgotten as long as The Final Rumble remembers.

Devils Never Cry – Battle against the Demon King
As Todd's minions fought against the Counter-Todd Strike Force, and Erwin laid his life to rob the Demon of his Beast, two brothers approached The Throat of the World, where Todd 's Palace stood. Dante and Vergil, the Sons of Sparda, challenged the king. Perhaps, intoxicated by their naivety, Todd let them both fight at the same time. The battle raged on, as the power and prowess of the Demon King opposed the numbers and skill of the duo. In the end, the numbers prevailed, with Vergil surprising everyone with a V-Trigger, and a pin from Dante, The Sons of Sparda proved victorious.And just like that, the brothers prevailed, splitting the Demon King into the human and the demon. The human's fate remains unknown, while the demon fell into a distortion, trying to escape his fate, where he seek to find a new host to regain his power. Lamentably, the nearest being he found was not one that was easily swayed into becoming someone's puppet. Oh, and then the brothers' feud reared itself once more, with Dante winning against his brother.

Finale
And so, "The Tale of a Nightmare from another world and The New Demon King" comes to an end. The victims of the Mind-Link presumably woke up from their coma. But was this enough to change the oncoming destiny this universe is headed into? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, some unresolved conflicts still stand...

Backside of the TV – New World Deadweight
Adachi, in the heat of the Backstage Brawl, threw himself and Nero into the Shadow World. After winning the battle, the two flung insults at each other. Yet, even the Shadow World is not safe from distortions, as time seemingly reversed, and the insults were exchanged again. As it turns out, this was pre-Ultimax Adachi, because this Adachi did not know how to exit the TV World. (Yet how did Richtofen retrieve Samantha 's soul? Is the Key that OP, or did Yu help?). Coaxing the angry Unga Bunga into calming down, the TV-loving virgin offered alliance, since their chances of surviving alone were close to zero. Nero agreed, with only one stipulation.

"Nero: NO TALKING!"

Distorted Paraphony – To be Continued...


"Richtofen: ...as expected, the outcome did not change the oncoming future.'"

Turns out, the Doctor had been reading along, while the final fights against Todd had been fought. Everything went according to his plan, even if the loss of Kirigiri 's body was not an expected outcome. Samantha is finally revealed, and is due to be sent back to her timeline, before distortions grow stronger. Yet, he still had time to read ahead, and to see what is written in the fate of the universe.The merge is coming. Is the plan still in motion? What did the other titles mean? All will come in Season 3.
