Here's chapter two. While reading, you should recognize a certain reenacted scene written down. Also the demons used in this story will be the ones from DMC3. Enjoy!


Right on cue, demons had made their move and made their assault on the planet. Everywhere you could think of, there was death and destruction caused by the Seven Prides of Hell and Blood-goyles. The entire military forces of the Earth and the Justice League are doing their best to stop these monstrosities, but it seems that the only way to permanently neutralize the threat is to take back the Tartarus Key from the Son of Sparda, Vergil.

Speaking of which, the half-devil himself, continues to remain hidden as he waits for his chance in finding Dr. Fate. While initially distracted by the lesser demons, he was able to find the Lord of Order, but he is accompanied by the King of Atlantis, Aquaman. The two powerhouses had given Vergil a look, one that meant that they were unaware of him being the one who attacked the Amazons. They had tried to warn the Dark Slayer that there were demons surrounding him, specifically Abyss demons. While time seemed to slow down, Vergil would make his move; before any scythe would cut him down, the Son of Sparda used his scabbard to deflect all attacks. And in a flash that amazed the two observing heroes, the half-demon unsheathed his blade, Yamato, and slashed the demon in half. More demonic blood would splatter as Vergil took out the current seed of Abyss demons. Sheathing his Katana, more demons would show up and again Vergil would destroy them in the flash; the resulting liquid would make the Dark Slayer's hair back to its natural setting. Annoyed with the rest of them, Vergil made his dash cutting down the remaining demons and sheathing his o-katana in a special way behind his back.

After sweeping his hair back to his preferred state, Fate and Aquaman make their way towards him.

Aquaman: "Impressive how you were able to fend off those demons on your own."

Dr. Fate: "Forgive my saying, but I am sensing demonic energy within you and human. Who are you?"

Vergil: "My name is of no importance."

Before the conversation could continue, Aquaman's com went off. The person who had contacted him was the returning Martian Manhunter, asking for a progress report. Unbeknownst to the two heroes, Vergil had begun his preparation for the surprise attack since the heroes guard was down. When J'onn requested a satellite glimpse of their location, after he cleaned up the image, he saw the figure next to his comrades. When he remembered the description of the Son of Sparda, he quickly told the two to apprehend Vergil. In their confusion, Vergil's dimension slash was initiated. The shock of the attack had left Aquaman unconscious and as Dr. Fate was about to collapse, using his demonic energy, Vergil took the key to the Tower of Fate. He then issued a warning to J'onn J'onzz:

Vergil: "It seems that incompetence doesn't just exist in the Amazons; it extends to the League as well. I only issue this warning once: do not get in my way! You, Batman, Superman, Diana and the rest of league will not survive coming after me while ridding the world of the demonic invasion taking place."


As Vergil made his way to Salem, Massachusetts to the Tower of Fate, the League would finish defeating demons for the day. Martian Manhunter dispatched Supergirl and Nightwing to retrieve Aquaman and Dr. Fate and treat their injuries. Once the two were placed in the medical bay of the Watchtower, the original seven members held a meeting with the expanded members.

Martian Manhunter: "For the past few days, we have battled an enemy of supernatural origins. We have been granted a short reprieve, but still we must stay vigilant."

Superman: "We know you all have questions about why demons have invaded our world. If there is anything you wish to say, speak now."

Green Arrow: "Well it's about time you fessed up. What the actual hell is going on here?!"

Black Canary: "Calm down, Oliver! We're all exhausted from this, even more so than when Darkseid came back."

Batman: "These demon attacks are happening because of the events that happened in Themyscira. An unknown assailant broke into the Amazons treasure room, took an ancient item of demonic origin and defeated the Amazons."

Question: "Here's a question: what was so important on Themyscira that this guy needed to start a demon invasion?"

Wonder Woman: "My mother calls it the Tartarus Key; it's part of a set of demonic items that will unleash a great evil. When the one known as Vergil took the key from its seal, it unleashed this new hell upon us." The monitor shows the satellite picture of Vergil next to Aquaman and Dr. Fate. "We tell you all that if you encounter this man, do not engage him. He is considered to be extremely dangerous and though he hasn't killed any of us, do not expect him to-"

An incoming alarm echoes throughout the Satellite and this only means one thing, the President of the United States. A monitor is turned on to show the president's image in the White House but all that shows is static.

Superman (tells Mister Terrific): "Clean up the image." Kal-El and the rest of the League return their attention to the monitor. "Yes, Mr. President?"


Salem, Massachusetts

Quickly making his way across the country, Vergil finally makes it to an empty lot. Since the Tower is protected by magic, Vergil inserts the key into the air and after he twists it to the left, a lock sound is heard. The Tower of Fate is revealed and the Dark Slayer steps inside. The stories were true of how the insides of the Tower were much larger than it appeared on the outside. The Son of Sparda makes a few steps when he is visited by an apparition. "Greetings, you have entered with the key but the Tower does not recognize you. Please state your purpose and intent."

Vergil: "I seek to obtain the Purgatory key in this Tower to slay Mundus's most powerful weapon that is soon to arrive on Earth. Defeating it will grant me a new power equal to Mundus himself."

Sensing the honest, yet ill-intent within the half-demon, the spirit revealed the path towards the Purgatory Key. As he made his way to his next destination, various obstacles came into his way. He had expected this and quickly dispatched the Towers defenses. Once he approached the demonic item, both keys resonated to each other and revealed the final location for the Heaven Key. Using his sword Yamato, he made his way out of the Tower. The last key's destination was unknown, but the most likely area that both keys had resonated to was the Far East.


The image clears up, but the person shown is not the President, but one of Batman's greatest rogues, the founder and leader of the League of Assassins: Ra's al Ghul.

Ra's: "Greetings Justice League."

Batman: "Ra's al Ghul? How did you get this frequency?"

Ra's: "Detective, there are more pressing matters than my agents within established governments. I am here to tell you of what is to come."

Superman: "Meaning?"

Ra's: "In my 600 years of life, I have studied the world's entire phenomenon, even those of the supernatural. I, like you, am well aware of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda. Near the end of the Human-Demon war two millennia ago, the Demon King Mundus had one last weapon at his disposal. Mundus had created an spawn of himself, containing a portion of Mundus' power. Before he could unleash this new hell, Sparda had sealed him and his spawn away. The seal itself was divided into three keys: one of Eden, one of the Void, and one of Tartarus."

Black Canary: "Okay then, Vergil has two of the keys. Why is he attempting to unleash the Dark Emperor's spawn?"

Ra's: "It is my opinion that the Son of Sparda is seeking to obtain a new Devil Arm, composed of the demon itself."

Wonder Woman: "Learning something new everyday. What exactly is a Devil Arm?"

Jason Blood/Etrigan: "There are many different types of demons and they are lesser ones at best. The more powerful are the ones who are capable of being Devil Arms. When a powerful demon is bested in combat, the victor can claim its soul and transform them into living weapons. The weapons can take shape into any form of item: a sword, a pair of gauntlets and grieves, even a briefcase."

Ra's: "The Son of Sparda's plan is to obtain all three keys and travel to the place containing the seal and unleash the spawn of Mundus. His true goal is to defeat the demon."

Superman (flabbergasted): "Why? Why go through all this? Why endanger the world and bring about certain death?"

Ra's: "Kal-El, you do not understand this man. Vergil is a man obsessed with obtaining power. He will do anything to get it; the aftermath of his goals is of no concern to him."

Batman (angry): "He doesn't care of the consequences he brings? We must stop at all cost!"

Flash: "We also need to find the other keys!"

Ra's: "There is no need for you to seek out the keys. Vergil has already taken both the Tartarus and Void key from Themyscira and the Tower of Fate. This is why I request your assistance."

Wonder Woman: "Why would you request our help? You've never shied away from creating destruction. Unless-"

Batman: "You already have the final key." Ra's facial expression confirms Batman's suspicions.

Ra's: "You must make haste to the Temple in Rhelasia. That is where the Eden Key resides, but it is also revealing the path to Vergil. The other keys are resonating with it, bringing the Dark Slayer here. I estimate we only have few moments before he arrives. I have already prepared my assassins but after hearing how effortlessly he defeated the Amazons, Aquaman and Doctor Fate, I doubt they will survive long enough."

The transmission had cut and the Trinity (Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman) beam themselves back to Earth. Using Diana's invisible jet, they make haste to Ra's temple in Rhelasia; at the same time, a portal of unknown energy opens and one lone figure exits the gateway. The Son of Sparda makes eye contact with the Amazon and she takes a step back in momentary fear before composing herself. While Batman and Superman make their way to the half-demon, Diana proposes the two to go to Ra's and safeguard the Key while she deals with Vergil. Begrudgingly, the two accept Diana's offer.


Cue *Vergil Appearance*

Vergil: "You showed up."

Diana: "I did. I know what you plan to do and know I will stop you!"

Vergil: "It's amusing; I told both the Martian and your mother not to pursue me."

Diana: "Yeah, we have a tendency not to listen to the demands of people like you. If you truly are a Son of Sparda, stop this mad quest for power."

Vergil: "Naïve, foolish girl. Trying to get to my human side is futile. I surrendered it long ago."

Diana (unsheathing her Amazon sword): "Then let's cease with the words." (In her thoughts: Athena, guide me!)

Vergil (unsheathing the Yamato): "You got that right!"


Okay before you guys flame me about Aquaman and Doctor Fate being taken out, let me remind you that this was a sneak attack. Their guards were dropped and the opportunity presented itself. Next chapter Vergil vs Wonder Woman. And remember, leave a review to let me know what you think so far; it is very much appreciated.
