“Well put.” Alucard launched himself at Sephiroth. He sank his fangs into the open wound before it could close. Sephiroth howled in genuine pain and tried to pull Alucard off, only for Vergil and Kasen’s shades to manifest and bind his arms.

Dante drew his scythe but Integra caught his shoulder before he could charge.

“They’re winning this. We need to regroup for a final assault.”

“She’s right.” Optimus agreed. He transformed and opened his door for Dante and Integra. “Get in. Hurry!”

Sephiroth was slowly overpowering Alucard and his familiars even as his blood was drained. Vergil was thrown hard into what remained of the audience stands. He reached for Alucard, too blood drunk to notice..

Dante cried out a warning but thankfully Gladion stabbed him again and he was left reeling long enough for Vergil to return and pin him back down. He looked up and caught Dante’s eye. “Go, brother. Remember what I said about embracing the blood of Sparda. Find the strength inside you to finish this fight.”
