Kriegsmesser Anti-Enemy Mass Weapon: "Over End"
The Kriegsmesser (War Knife, in German) is a class of mass-produced weapon specially made for Dante's personal use. It is a towering 500-meter by 25-meter obelisk that acts as Dante's weapon of choice when dealing against numerous enemy forces which, despite its name, is in itself nothing more than just a giant mass of recycled debris crudely fashioned into a discernible form by the efforts of the many architects and engineers of Florencia Arms Industries in their spare time, usually when drunk or by reason of a dare, while in cooperation with Dante's friends who mainly provide the crazy ideas. Moreover, its nature as a recyclable weapon gives the Kriegsmesser the added advantage of being relatively easy to rebuild and repair.
When in use, the body and underside is fitted with over-sized jet boosters from decommissioned airplanes and various other junk parts and powered by experimental rocket fuel which is ten times more potent than the current rocket fuel used in the manufacture of Stinger rounds. Customized motion-capture cameras all over the obelisk's frame capture every movement of Dante's hands which he uses to control the massive weapon's each and every movement, from the stabilizing jets to the minute bursts that determine the impact force and angle of a Kriegsmesser's attack.
Of course, as much damage it could cause to its targets, each swing of the massive blade likewise exerts as much punishment to its own frame as it would to its targets. As such, under normal circumstances, the massive weapon could only be swung a total of three (3) times before the entire structure falls to pieces, only to reveal the surprise hidden within the core: a last impact-reactive detonator cap which would trigger a series of built-in bombs to explode with such force that it would literally turn the obelisk's entire frame into one massive fragmentation bomb. Regardless of its effectiveness as a weapon, however, the Kriegsmesser's most powerful weapon is its ability to shock most enemies into submission without it ever being used.
Due to it being such a large weapon, its delivery system needed to conform to its massive weight. As such, should a situation call for its use, it is usually dropped from 30,000 feet after being carried to the drop zone by eight powerful cargo planes before Dante 'catches' it by activating the unit's boosters as soon as it gets within range.
