DISCLAIMER: I don't own Devil May Cry or Spider Man, or the Avengers.
Peter sat in the carrier, listening to a panicked Nero explaining what had happened. Nick Fury looked
bothered by this. He leaned forward, staring seriously into Nero's face. "So you don't have the slightest idea which one won the fight?" As Nero shook his head, Fury snarled a swear word under his breath. "That makes things very hard for us. For all we know, Dante could have beaten that crazy-ass freak, and everything could be solved, or that crazy-ass freak might have beaten and maybe even killed Dante, which would leave us in the deepest pile of shit we've ever been in. You see why I'm annoyed?" Nero shook his head, but it was in annoyance with himself, not with Fury. For once Nero didn't have a scathing comeback. Fury stood up, realising that while Nero had screwed up, it was not his fault. He and Thor had been lucky to survive, let alone see what had happened, but if that devil had defeated Dante, the Avengers were in serious trouble. Even Dormammu was no match for Dante, and if this devil was stronger than Dante, the Avengers were in trouble. Peter stood up. "Listen, guys. Dante doesn't go down so easy. He probably kicked that spiky haired demon's ass straight back to hell."
Dante and Vergil sat in the warehouse. Dante held Yamato in his hand, and Vergil was not going anywhere near it, as he wasn't stupid enough to try to steal it back from Dante. "So this walking bowling ball who called himself Kingpin used some freaky machine to bring you back, and you say the place was filled with things from demons, like devil arms and armour fragments?" Vergil nodded. The door to the warehouse opened, and Trish entered. She stepped over to the brothers, ignoring the look of disgust of Vergil's face, instead choosing to focus on Dante. "So you really did get your evil twin back. What a touching family reunion." Vergil ground his teeth, and jumped to his feet, glaring at Trish, his eyes flashing red. "How dare you talk like she did? Dante tolerates you looking and acting like her, but I will not!" Vergil began to charge, but Dante gripped his shoulder, flinging him across the warehouse. Vergil crashed straight through several heavy machines before vanishing and reappearing behind Trish. In the same instant, Dante vanished, appearing next to Vergil and dragging him away from Trish. There was a flash of red and blue as the two devils attacked each other, and then Dante was straightening his coat, his back to Vergil, who lay unconscious on the floor. "Sorry about that. Guess big bro still needs to be toilet trained."
In the carrier, the Avengers were discussing what to do in the event they had to fight the devil in blue without the aid of Dante. The Hulk had been brought up more than once, but if the devil was as fast with his sword as Nero had suggested, he would vivisect the Hulk before the Hulk could get near him. Suddenly, Fury's phone rang. The Avengers stopped talking as Fury listened to what the person on the other end said. When Fury hung up, he turned to the Avengers. "That was Trish. Dante beat the devil in the blue coat, but there may be more to this. The devil was working for Wilson Fisk. Peter, I need you to pay Fisk a visit and either confiscate or destroy a machine that looks like something somewhere between an X-ray machine and a cryogenic freezing chamber."
Peter clung to the roof of Fisk's office, listening to Fisk talking to someone over the phone. Suddenly, Fisk spun around, swinging his fist at Peter. Peter easily dodged the attack, webbing Fisk's hands together and pulling him over. Fisk jumped up, charging at Spider Man. "Snooping in my office is a bad idea, Spider Man!" Fisk charged, but Peter met him head on, punching him repeatedly with Beowolf. Fisk hit the floor, shaking the entire office. As he started to stand, Peter jumped on his chest, punching him again. "You're pretty quick for a guy who needs double doors to get into his office, but you're not quick enough! Now, Kingpin, I hear you've been a bad boy recently."
Fury sat in his seat, glaring with disapproval at his newest ally. Vergil matched Fury's disapproving look, but with Dante sitting in between them, he could never get away with hitting Fury. "So, Dante, you think your evil twin brother is trustworthy? You can tell he's evil by looking at him. No dice. I'm not having this guy anywhere near this team. I think he belongs in the Vault." Dante shrugged, gesturing to the Avengers who sat in the back of the room. "They're the ones who'll be fighting with him on their side. Maybe they should choose what happens to him. We could even vote on it if you like." The Avengers all stood up, heading over. Reluctantly, Fury agreed to a democratic decision made among the Avengers.
It was a difficult decision. Many of the Avengers believed soundly that Vergil was evil, and that Dante was blinded by the fact that it was his brother, but the rest of them believed that Dante's judgement was trustworthy, regardless of what his brother was. Eventually, it was decided that Vergil could fight alongside them, but he was to be regarded with extreme caution, and that Dante was to stay near him at all times. Vergil held out his hand, and Dante gave him Yamato. Nero was angry about this, and had said that Vergil should not have Yamato, and should fight using another weapon, but Dante had told him that Yamato would be loyal to Vergil, and that Nero would get no value out of it.
Fury stood on the deck of the carrier. "So, Vergil, is this the machine that resurrected you?" The machine stolen from Fisk's office sat on the deck. Vergil nodded wordlessly. "And is this the man responsible?" The Kingpin, his hands cuffed, was carried out onto the deck by Thor. The Kingpin started to struggle, but Thor smacked him in the side of the head, quieting him instantly. Vergil nodded again, and the Kingpin started to yell at Vergil, but was cut off by another blow from Thor. The artefacts taken from the Kingpin's office all lay across the deck, and they ranged greatly from Devil Arms to demonic armour fragments to demon body parts. Dante recognised a fragment of the spider demon known as Phantom, a strip of a petal from the forest dragon demon known as Echidna, the sword that had belonged to the demon lord Modeus, along with several other artefacts from demons Dante himself had killed. This proved that Kingpin had been working to resurrect several demons, many of which Dante had killed. Suddenly Kingpin laughed. "You idiots! Vergil Sparda was only the beginning! This city will be burned to the ground with you in it!"
Response to reviews:
To Mercwiththemouth: Thank you for your support. I decided that Vergil could make for a dangerous ally as well as an enemy, but there is an even deadlier enemy about to appear. Can Vergil be trusted? Dante thinks he can, but maybe Dante cares about his brother too much to be an impartial judge.
