Chapter 7: The memories of Vergil
Yume was shocked. Did they say what she think she said?
Yume: "The remnants of Vergil
Erobus: "Yes"
Yume: "How did you come from Vergil?"
Abner: to understand, we must first talk about Vergil after the incident with no. 1
Yume: "Then tell me!"
Erobus: "Very well. When Vergil came to the portal, he went back to his home planet, Gaia, which is the home planet for Cetra like himself. So Gaia is his home planet. He had been so affected by the battle that it changed him mentally."
Yume: "What happened?"
Abner: "he became from a kind and relaxed boy into a could, calculative, and introverted fighter, ruthlessly wanting power. However, he still maintains his sense of morals, honor, and discipline."
Yume: "What happened to Vergil when he was on Gaia?"
Abner: Vergil has been traveling Gaia for 2 years, until at the age of 18, he ran into someone he's been wanting to find for a long time."
Yume: "Who?"
Abner: "Dante"
"Vergil's twin?!" Yume gasped
Erobus: "Yes. His younger twin, in fact. Vergil explained what he had been through to him, but doesn't mention your name. Of course, it was a bad time to do so."
Yume: "Why?"
Erobus: "Vergil was in the battle of the Wutai War. So obviously, fighting was going on. So Vergil went to a company called Shinra and joined the thing called the SOLDIER Program. Vergil went to multiple test and became second-in-command of the army he has. Vergil, along with the general, Sephiroth, was able to help win the Wutai War.
Yume: "He must have been heroic."
Abner: "Well the thing is, Vergil is really much of a praises person. Infact, some of the SOLIDERs feared him due how powerful he is. People even compared him to is twin brother, Dante."
Yume: "What is Dante like?"
Erobus: Dante is Bostrious, outgoing, cocky, and extroverted, casually mouthing off even the most powerful of opponents. Unlike Vergil, Dante relies on his strength, endurance, and reflexes. He also has abilities that does more effect on his body than simply attacking enemies."
Yume: "He must have been the opposite to Vergil."
Abner: "Yes, that's right. Dante has the strength, Vergil has speed. However, they still have enough physicality to keep up with one another."
Yume than had a scary thought. What if Vergil doesn't remember her at all? Gathering her courage, she spoke out her question.
Yume: "Does Vergil remember me?"
Abner: "Actually, he began to remember you. When he saw a bird, it reminded of him the 2 crests you possessed on both your stomach and nape. He had a photo with you that made remembering quicker."
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared out of nowhere, and when Yume opens her eyes, she sees herself on a grassy field. She turns around and sees Vergil with 10 feet away from her. He still wore the same jacket, except he gained an additional strap on each shoulder. His face is still stoic, but in his eyes, he feels remorse about something he had done. Suddenly, voice came out of nowhere and sent Vergil back to reality.
"Vergil!"
Vergil and Yume turns and sees a young man in his early 20s. He had black, swept back hair and had a scar and his left cheek. He had a turtleneck sweater and had Pauldrons with SOLDIER on the back of the left one. His eyes glowed blue like Vergil's, aren't as noticeable. The most notable thing is the 5-6 foot giant sword.
Vergil: "Hello, Zack."
Zack was suprised on how relaxed he sounds. Normally, he would sound firm, but he actually sound completely calm today. Shaking away his thoughts, he stand next to Vergil.
Zack: "What are you thinking about?"
Vergil: "Old memories."
Zack: "What is memories?"
Vergil later take out a photo and gives it to Zack. Yume looks over Zack's shoulder and sees what photo it is.
Yume: 'That's the photo I took when Vergil stayed a week at M.B.I'
Zack: "Who the lady next to you?"
Vergil: "Yume"
Zack: "She's not human, is she."
Vergil: "No, she is a Sekirei. She can manipulate light and is skilled in hand to hand combat."
Zack: "What is she like?"
Vergil: "Despite being a fighter, Yume is a kind person. She always believed that love would fix anything. She had even save my life, mentally."
Zack: "What do you mean?"
Vergil: "Zack, listen. I used to be raised in an abusive family. They only cared about their idiotic son. They don't care about me, due to my appearance. But when Yume came into my life, she fixed me."
Zack: "So why did you leave?"
Vergil's face darken and said: "One of my friends betrayed me, Miya. She tried to kill me for no apparent reason." Vergil later looked down sad. "It's because of her, I forgot about Yume."
Vergil than looks at the sky: I regret leaving Yume. She didn't deserve me leaving."
Zack: "So then what do you want?"
Vergil: I want to return back to where I use belong to, so I could be with Yume again, and return the favors for her. That is my final promise."
Vergil than gestures his hand in a cup-shaped manner, and light began to form above his hand. Suddenly, the light turns into a form of a 'Wagtail'. Vergil later releases the 'bird' and the bird flies away.
A flash of light appears, and Yume is back on Kamikura island.
Erobus: "Do you see it now?"
Yume: "Did Vergil blame himself for my suffering?"
Abner: "More like he felt bad. He mostly blamed Miya for what happened."
Yume: "Did Vergil discovered what Happened to him and his mother?"
Erobus face darken: 2 years and a half ago, Vergil was doing research as to what had happened to him. He found out that he had fallen into the livestream, but the river opened a portal for him to get through, while at the same time being infused with it. Vergil later discovered that his mother name is Eva, and she died protecting Dante from non other than shinra itself. As you can imagine, Vergil was extremely angry, so he stormed at Shinra, and killed the corrupted officials there. This happened during the time of the Genesis war, where 1st class, Genesis Rhapsodos, betrayed Shinra in order to find a cure for his degradation. Vergil than hunts for his father's power.
Yume: "What do you mean?"
Abner: Sparda was well-known for his god-like powers and being the only Cetra to defeat Jenova on his own. His true powers of the sword were sealed. The powers are so strong, it made the humans want it to conquer Gaia.
Yume: "Did Vergil encounter one?"
Erobus: "Yes, Vergil encountered Arkham, who to wanted Sparda's power. Vergil worked along side him in order to raise the tower of where it hides. But Vergil was aware of what Arkham is going to do to him."
Yume was confused: "What do you mean?"
Arkham is chaotic in nature. He wanted to gain Sparda's power so he could conquer Gaia, even going as far as to kill his wife as a sacrifice. But The ritual was botched. So he only gained enhanced physicality and can turn into his alter ego named Jester. What he did made his own daughter angry to the point she hunted him down to try and kill him."
Yume shuddered. She couldn't imagine what it looked like. "Did Dante do anything about it."
Abner: "Only after his fight against Vergil. Vergil needed his brother's amulet in order to awaken Sparda's power. But he also needed Dante to awaken his own. So he stabbed Rebellion to unleashed Dante's power, which worked.
Yume: "What did Vergil do about Arkham?"
"Vergil was aware of what Arkham was going to do. He even stabbed Arkham in disgust of what he had done. Vergil may be power-hungry, but he wouldn't sacrifice someone he loves. He later went to the the place to put the 2 amulets, and used his blood to try and open the portal to the sword. What Vergil didn't know was that he needed the blood of the maiden to unlock it, and Mary is the descendent of the maiden." Erobus explained.
Yume: "What happened next?"
"Dante caught up to Vergil, and the 2 fought once again, this time with Vergil having Beowulf. The gauntlets and greaves I have are copies on the gauntlets and greaves. As Dante powers awakened, both of the twins were equally matched. Their fight was interrupted by Mary and attempts to attack Vergil, but Vergil pins her to the ground with Yamato, with Mary blocking with Kanila Ann. She assumed that vergil put her father into this, but Vergil calls her a foolish girl. Vergil went back to fighting Dante, while mary pieces things together. Arkham suddenly appears and attacks Both Vergil and Dante. Arkham later uses her daughter blood to unleashed the seal. Everyone immediately stood up and tried to stop him, but it was to late."
Yume: "Did Vergil do something about this?"
Along side his twin brother. Vergil caught up to Dante and saw him fighting Arkham, who's body had been deformed from the sword's overwhelmingly power. Vergil later works together with Dante and defeated him. Vergil finished him by doing it Dante's way for once. Both twins used charged guns and defeated Arkham. The sword and the amulets went down a hole, forcing both Dante and Vergil to go down and retrieve it." Abner explained
Yume: "What happened to Arkham?"
"Arkham returned to his human form and had been battered and bloodied. He tried to manipulate Mary into helping him, but Mary had enough and fires her gun and Arkham, killing him. Vergil later settles against Dante in their final battle.
The flash of light appears again. Yume now sees herself at form of rock ledge. She looks and saw a green river going down a waterfall. Suddenly, a sword appeared out of nowhere, identical to the one Rrobus had. Suddenly, two people came down. One of them was Vergil. The other looked different. He had a red coat with 2 coat tails. He had no shirt. He is missing a right sleeve and had baggy pants. He had zippers on his shoes. The most notable thing is the big sword. The handle is attached to the base the shape of a skull, and had bone-like arms. It look like a claymore, he looks like Vergil, but his hair is kept down, partiality covering his eyes.
Yume: "This must be Dante."
OST Vergil boss fight 3
Location: Gaia's EdgeDante rushes to Force Edge, But Vergil rolls and yanks it out of the ground. This forced Dante to step back 15 feet from Vergil. Seeing the amulet dangling on Dante's hand, he holds his hand out
Vergil: "Give that to me."
Dante: "No way. You've got your own
Dante's voice sounded a little deep and mocking, in contrast with Vergil's calm and intimidating voice
Vergil: "Well I want yours to."
Dante: "What are you gonna do with all that power, huh? No matter how hard you try, you're never gonna be like father."
"You're wasting time!" Vergil shouted in irritation and charges at Dante, but Dante stood still and when Vergil struck with Force Edge, Dante struck with Rebellion, forcing both twins to use both hands to stop one another's blades.
Dante and Vergil spread the space between the two blades as Dante says this to Vergil: "We are the Sons of Sparda. Within each of us flows his blood. But more importantly, his soul!"
Both twins jumped back 20 feet from each other.
Dante: "And now, my soul is saying it wants to stop you!!"
An ironic laugh escapes Vergil as he says this to Dante: "Unfortunately our souls are at odds, brother. I need more power!" Vergil finishes as he clenches did fist in front of his face
Dante: "And were supposed to be twins."
Vergil grips the Force Edge and says this before battling; "Twins, right."
Vergil attempt to use Stinger on Dante, but Dante uses the Trickster style and dashed out of the way. Vergil used round trip, trying to get Dante cut in half, but Dante used Sky Star And dashes enough distance to get force edge to return to him. Switching to Swordmaster, Dante used his Limit Break, "Overdrive", and slashes 3 waves of energy at Vergil. However, Vergil does Overdrive as well, and counters Dante's. Vergil later attacks with the summoned swords, but Dante used Air Hike and takes out Ebony and Ivory and counters the Summoned Swords.
Vergil later uses Yamato and uses Judgement Cut, but Dante used Royalguard and negates the attack. "Cerberus!" A flash of light comes from Dante, and replacing Rebellion is a 3 headed nunchuck with Ice at the top of each one. Vergil tries to hit Dante with the Storm Swords, but Dante counters with the Limit Break, "Ice Age", and covers himself with a sphere made of Ice. "Agni, Rudra!" Another flash of light and Cerberus is replace by 2 swords. One is orange and emit flames, while the other is blue and conjures wind. Vergil attempts to do Yamato combo C, but Dante used Agni and Rudra Combo c, with the Limit Break, "Million Slashes." Dante successfully countered Vergil's attack.
Yume: "How is Dante doing this?"
Erobus: "Those weapons are called Devil Arms. They can be earned if You defeat a uniquely powerful enemy. That is how vergil got Beowulf."
Back at the battle. Dante switches to gunslinger and takes out Artemis, as Vergil began to ready his Blistering Swords, as Vergil fires, Dante unleashed a charged Artemis shot, countering 8 swords with arrows. Dante then uses the Limit Break, "Acid Rain"' and rain small arrow into Vergil. Vergil used Judgement Cut and destoryed the arrows. Vergil later surrounds himself in a shield and uses Spiral Swords. Dante switches to the Quicksilver and slows down time. Time within the memory slowed and had inverted color, except Dante. Dante later destroyed the swords and tone flows back to normal. Dante used Doppelgänger and made a shadow clone. Vergil used both Yamato and Force Edge to deal with the two Dantes.
"Nevan!" Another flash of light and Dante is holding a purple scythe arcing with electricity. Dante unleashed in electric slash and uses his Limit Break, "Crazy Roll," and slashed wildly. Vergil used Force Edge and preforms Drive to cancel it out, but he got distracted and got hit by Dante's Limit Break, causing Vergil to get knocked off balance.
Yume: "what type of techniques are they using. They look like Sekirei doing multiple forms of Norito."
Erobus: "They are doing a Limit Break, which is similar, except if can be activated if hard pressed in battle enough, or if they transform."
Abner: "What's your Norito?"
Yume: "Chains of the Fated. I can summon chains made of light to either weaken or hurt my opponents."
Back one again at the battle. Both Vergil and Dante activates their Devil Trigger, surprising Yume. Dante looked similar to Vergil , except he has 2 wings and his spine fused with his chest. He had a red aura. Dante and Vergil later charged at each other with Rebellion and Force Edge. Both preformed milllion Stabs and deflected most of the stabs, with 2-3 on the body, but the wounds healed soon after. Vergil increased the distance and used the Summoned swords, but Dante used Ebony and Ivory and shoot the swords out of mid-air.
"Beowulf!" Another flash of light and what replaces rebellion are the Gaunlets and greaves that Abner possessed, but Yume senses they are much stronger. Dante ran to Vergil and unleashed his Limit Break, "Hyper Fist," and unleashed a barrage of punches at blinding speed. Dante later ends this with a heavy punch to the face. Vergil gets knocked back and unleashed his Limit Break, "Judgement Cut End," and unleashed clone to slash the area completely. Dante took massive damage, even in Devil Trigger, but when Vergil goes and uses Rapid Slash, Dante use the Royalguard Limit Break: Ultimate. When the yellow shield generated in front of Dante's stretched out hand, Vergil's attack hit the shield. This caused the damage to actually heal Dante a lot.
Yume was extremely shocked. While she to had been into extremly intense fights, the fights are nothing compared to this, the battle between the twin sons of Sparda.
In battle, Dante slowed down time I an attempt to attack Vergil, but Vergil reacted fast and warped out of the way. Vergil attempts to use Heavy Rain Swords and Attempts to damage and paralyze Dante, but Dante switches to Trickster style and uses Air Trick. Vergil later uses Yamato combo B and is successful, but the summoned sword was deflected by Dante's sword.
Yume: "Why isn't Vergil winning? He is supposed to be a superior swordsman, right?
Abner: "Dante is different, not only can Dante match Vergil, but he was getting familiar with how his techniques work.
Erobus: "This means that when Dante sees engagements like this once, Dante won't fall for this a second time."
Dante used Yamato and preforms Perfect Judgement Cut, but Dante quickly equipped Rebellion and preformed Stinger to evade the attack. He then use Rebellion combo A in combination with Million Stabs. After getting damaged by Dante, Vergil finally gets frustrated and jumps in the air, preforming Dark Angel's Descent. He drop kicked with blue flames and electricity, emitting on his right leg. Dante dodges the attack, but Vergil used his Limit Break, 'Corrupt Zodiac', and shoot 3 blue explosive fireballs. Dante shoots one out of mid-air with his bullet, but when he saw how big the explosion is compared to Dante's Zodiac, Dante goes Royalguard and utilizes Royal Block. Vergil than closed the distance and unleashed his most powerful Limit Break: "Dark Angel." Vergil attacks Dante multiple times before turning his back on Dante. When he sheathed Yamato, Summoned Swords appeared behind Dante and pierced him in the back.
Dante, however, retaliated using his most powerful Limit Break of his own: "Devil Must Die." Dante used Stinger on Vergil 4 times before ending it with a more powerful stinger, making a sigil appear that launched Vergil back at the front of the portal, with Dante behind the waterfall.
Vergil: 'Dante'
Vergil, for the first time in his cetra life, realize how much of a disadvantage he is in. He knew that Dante would surpass him, but not like this. Vergil goes on one knee as he grunts in pain. Dante, however, still looked fresh. Both twins change back into their normal cetra form.
Vergil: Am I...being defeated?"
Dante: "What's the matter? Is that all you've got? C'mon, get up! You can do better than that."
Vergil clenches his fist and growls in pain. As he stood in both of his legs, the ground began to shake.
Vergil: "the portal the Gaia is closing, Dante. Because the amulets have been separated."
Dante: "let's finish this. I have to stop you. Even if it means killing you."
Vergil later grips his Force Edge, puts in behind him, and rushed towards Dante. Dante does the same with Rebellion. Yume couldn't believe what she was seeing. They are reaching the climax of the fight. As the twins close the distance.
SHINK!
YAAAAAHHHH!!!!/RAAAAHHHH!!!!
SHING!
SSSSSSSSSSHHHHH!
One twin bisects the other, with blood spreading of the other twin.
To be countinued
