Chapter 2

The Twin Shadow Demon forced the door down. Sparda's twin sons were upstairs playing at the time when the Demon burst the door down.

Eva jumped when the two heads growled at her. The wolf jumped into the shadows and reappeared in the Eva's shadow. Clamping its left head's jaw on her neck. Vergil came downstairs to see what was going on. To his horror, he saw his mother's throat in the mouth of a beast. The child couldn't move. Dante walked down the stairs to witness the same thing. The younger twin raced back upstairs, but the monster disappeared again.
Vergil followed his twin back upstairs and they hid in their bedroom, frightened and confused.

Sparda raced into the house to find his wife already lying on the floor, dead. Tears began to form in his eyes, but they were short lived. His twin sons screamed and Sparda raced upstairs to aid them.

The beast was gone. Only one son was in the room.

Temi growled as his opponent smashed him into a building, bringing the shop to the ground. The Lightning Demon smirked as the building collapsed in his strength. The Devil arose from the ruins and punched the Demon with his fist. Temi charged that beam again, this time it hit Alastor and the area around the crater where Alastor fell became filled with a flower of flames. Temi charged up an orange light in this arm and his flung his arm with tremendous strength, creating an orange blade that cut through the air and struck the Demon.

Alastor flew back into the sky and dug his fangs into Temi's hard Demonic skin. The Devil did the same, only they went in further, due to Temi's fangs being a lot longer.

Alastor cried out in pain as Temi's bite began to harden. The Lightning Demon managed to shake Temi off and force his body back into the pavement. Alastor summoned a sword and he threw it into Temi's body. The Devil laid still after that.

'That's that.' Alastor growled.

Temi got up from the assault and he threw the sword back at the Demon. Alastor didn't see this coming and the sword penetrated his chest and heart. The Demon fell to the ground with a sword in his chest. His body began to evaporate and his soul started to enter the sword.

The sword hit the ground, but there was no Alastor.

Temi picked up the sparking sword and went to go and aid his brother.

The window was smashed and Vergil quivered in fear. Sparda knew where his son had gone. That Demon was sent by Mundus to capture at least one of the twins. Suddenly, another Twin Shadow Demon appeared and attacked Sparda on the chest. The great dark knight Sparda fell to the ground as the Demon grabbed his son and jumped out of the window.

Sparda abandoned his most of his Demonic powers, including his ability to heal from deep wounds. The Demon's fangs sunk deeply into the knight's chest. Sparda lay on his son's bedroom floor, dying.

Temi flew into the room and noticed his dying brother. He cradled his brother like a crippled child.

'Sparda...'

His brother's eyes slowly winced open, "Temi?"

'Alastor is dead, his soul is trapped in his sword forever.'

"Get Dante and Vergil back."
'What about you? You'll die like that, let me take you to a hospital.'

"No Temi, if you do. *Cough* the twins will be lost."

'Sparda.' the Devil's eyes began to cloud with tears.

"Temi, I see you have gained your humanity."
Temi looked at his brother with confusion in his eyes, "You're crying." Sparda wiped his brother's eyes, "Find them and give Yamato to Vergil."

Sparda handed the Katana over to his brother, before taking his last breath.

Temi gasped as the tears fell down his face. He placed his brother's body on the ground and allowed his wings to spread out.

The Devil stood up at the windowsill, with his clawed toes digging into the wood. He took one last look at his brother's body, before flying into the night.

Vergil struggled as the Demon raced across the countrysides with the boy in its mouth. He continued to struggle, until the sound of a Shotgun. The wolf fell to the ground dead. Both of its heads were shot with one bullet. Vergil skidded across the grass as a man approached the frightened boy.

The man had almost jet black hair and his irises were so dark Vergil thought that his pupils were huge and the man was high. He wore a brown jacket and blue jeans, with that Shotgun by his side.

The gun frightened the boy and Vergil hid behind an oak tree.

"Oi, you ok kid?" the man sounded like a farmer.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"What's your name?"
"Vergil. Wait, where's Dante?"
"Dante?"
"My brother. Have you shot the creature that was carrying him. He's my identical twin."
"Identical huh? Well, I have only shot one of those things today. Damn things keep on killin' my chickens. I thought it was a bleedin' fox but nooooo."

"Oh, ok then. I need to find my brother."
"How about you stay with me and ma wife for a while?"
"Ok."

From that day Vergil was horribly abused by his foster father and mother. The two of them would beat him for not doing his chores right. His foster father who was called Richard Thornson and his wife Marie wanted a child of their own and have tried to kill the boy a number of times.

Vergil stayed locked away in their basement, until he turned fifteen. When his Devil killed the two of them.

Temi found the teen around the two dead humans and gave him Yamato. At first, Vergil didn't recognise Temi in his Devil form and the stressed out uncle explained everything to Vergil. Temi returned to Vie de Marli and Vergil went on the hunt to find his brother.

But Dante was yet to be found.
