A true portriat of Dante. Also a good point on how he wouldn't charge blindly into a battle. Here is my idea.
They stare at each other. Both cool and calculating, trying to figure each other's weakness. Dante pulls out his Sparda. Seeing it, Squall instantly unsheaths the Lion Heart. They look at each others blades, each considering the power and weaknesses of their opponent's blade.
They begin to circle each other. Dante quickly jumps into the air and pulls out one of his gunns. He starts firing at Squall. Squall upon seeing Dante leap instantly prepares for an attack. Seeing Dante move his hand to pull out the gun, he moves swiftly. Dante pulls out the gun and fires only to discover Squall is gone. He falls to the ground, staring around.
"Look behind you."
Dante looks behind him. Nothing.
"RETARD!"
He looks up to see falling from the sky. He hits Dante's chest and pushes him to the ground. Dante falls and Squall leaps backwards. He stares at Dante.
"Smart..." Dante mutters.
"Yeah I thought so too." Squall says.
"But its over." Dante gets to his feet and begins jumping around and around. Squall tried to follow him, but he couldn't keep up with the blur that was Dante. He kept doing this for two minutes. Then...
"NOW DIE!!" He stops suddenly right next to Squall and shoots him 3 times. Squall staggers back in pain. His life flashed before his eyes. But then, the power... The unbeatable power that all people feel when near death. It gives him strength beyond strength. He lifts the blade and charges Dante. He continously slashes Dante. Unfortuanately, no ending.
Dante falls backward in pain. But the near-death Squall falls too. It seems that the one who can stand will live. Dante begins to get to his feet. Squall seeing this feels the power once more.
"Its do or die..." he says. He charges Dante again. This time
Battered and bleeding but alive, Squall wals away.
Oh and Shinto, Limit Breaks in FFVIII happen when near death.
