Loyal Hound Ep. 29
Jackpot!
Get ready Vergil fans because Vergil isn't such a bad guy, is he? Maybe Rexoz, Dante, and Xigbar can change him…
"Hurry, Rexoz," said Vergil as the two finally made it to the top of the Temen-Ni-Gru after an hour of climbing at an exceedingly dangerous height.
"You two, wait, isn't that Vergil?! Careful Rexoz!" said Xigbar as he aimed his gun but Rexoz lifted his arm up before he could even get a chance to shoot.
"He isn't like Arkham, maybe we can get him and Dante to get along," said Rexoz.
'Foolish thought, Rexoz," said Vergil.
"At least you have your family, mine was killed," said Rexoz.
"My mother is dead like your family. Why are you trying to get Dante and I to get along? What do you want?" asked Vergil.
"I just want you guys to look out for each other. My family didn't exactly help me when Maleficent killed them. They were selfish and I…I just want people to be good to each other. Seeing you two brothers fight each other like that isn't something your mom would want is it?" said Rexoz.
"You make a valid argument, but stay out of it," said Vergil.
"But Maleficent…she'll kill all of us and I can't, I can't watch it! She said Demyx…I…," said Rexoz panicking. Xigbar quickly rushed to help her while Vergil stood calmly.
"So that's what the witch is planning. She used me and will likely betray Arkham," said Vergil.
"What do you mean, Maleficent used you," said Xigbar.
"She pitted me against Dante and seeks the power that I deserve. Maleficent convinced Arkham to let the two of us fight it out," said Vergil.
"She probably means to get you two to kill each other so that Arkham is her only obstacle," said Rexoz.
"Then Dante and I fighting against each other was pointless, but still, he does not seek power to protect anyone," said Vergil.
"Dude, I don't see you protecting anyone," said Xigbar.
"Be silent! I lost what I had to protect but I still need power," said Vergil.
"Yet you never said what for other than to protect people who aren't even there. Face it, Blue, Rexoz is right," said Xigbar.
"You should protect Dante before Maleficent finds him, please! I don't want her to hurt more people," said Rexoz.
"Very well, then. Let's get into the light and face Arkham AND the witch," said Vergil. The three entered the light and ascended into the demon world where Arkham was waiting along with Maleficent.
"Behold, the power of Sparda!" said Arkham.
"Very good, Arkham, now hand the sword over. Someone like you can't possibly handle its demonic power," said Maleficent as she blasted him green fire.
"You dare betray me!" said Arkham.
"Ah, look. Rexoz, it's been only a little while. Still eager to die I see?" said Maleficent. Rexoz backed up until Vergil pushed her towards Maleficent. Rexoz pulled out her keyblades to defend herself but did not dare to attack.
"Your friend, Demyx, has been slain, Rexoz. Killed by the Keyblade wielder and he was just pathetic. I didn't even bother to crush him myself," said Maleficent as Rexoz burst into tears before striking Maleficent.
"NO!" she screamed as she ran towards Maleficent, but Maleficent stepped aside tripped her, striking her with her rod as she fell.
"Agh!" said Rexoz.
"No, he's alive! You're lying!" said Rexoz.
"Entertaining," said Arkham as he tried to slice Maleficent.
"Hmm, you want the power of Sparda, do you? Well, take it, fool!" said Maleficent, disarming him and impaling him with the blade but this empowered him as he transformed. Rather than a demon, he became a huge Heartless resembling one. Luckily, Dante had arrived.
"Oh, man are you ugly! That can't be my father's power, I mean, look at how good I look!" said Dante, looking at his reflection in his sword. Arkham simply roared, no longer human at all.
"Oh, let's hope Baldy doesn't become a Nobody," said Xigbar.
"He's already a loser, too late for that," said Dante, clearly not understanding the context of the word Nobody the way it was used. Arkham roared as his tentacles whipped Dante.
"Ow, you little…!" said Dante.
"Incompetent, are we?" said Vergil coldly. He cut the tentacle off before it reached Dante.
'Vergil!?" he exclaimed.
"You can thank Rexoz for the fact that I didn't beat the crap out of you yet," said Vergil.
"Then let's beat this guy, already! I mean, look at Rexoz," said Xigbar. Rexoz was using leaf blade on it like crazy and slashing it with her keyblade. Maleficent simply watched from behind a force field.
"Demyx is alive!" said Rexoz as she used Zant's dark energy balls to take down Arkham from a distance then cut off a tentacle.
"No freaking way…Rexoz is being a bit brutal now," said Dante.
'I've never seen her do this before," said Xigbar.
"Rexoz looks desperate," said Vergil.
"Well are we just going to sit here while Shyness outdoes us and gets hurt? Our boss will KILL me if she gets hurt," said Xigbar, walking upside down and firing at Arkham who knocked him onto the ground and grabbed him. He squeezed Xigbar harder and harder until BAM!
"Hey, he's a pretty cool guy, it'd be a shame to lose-,"said Dante.
"Another sarcastic smart mouth?" said Vergil.
"Just let me make a rescue, okay, Vergil?" said Dante.
"Too slow, Dante," said Vergil as he cut Arkham's face, temporarily blinding him which allowed Rexoz used judgment slash on abomination.
"Looks like Shyness picked up a new trick," said Xigbar as he turned purple and jumped on top of Arkham.
"Let's see how you dance!" he said as hundreds upon thousands of bullets came down on Arkham. Arkham whipped Xigbar and swatted him aside after the attack as poor Xigbar had to reload.
"I'll cover you!" said Dante as he sliced at Arkham's side.
"I've got this side, Dante!" said Vergil as the two threw their swords into Arkham and joined each other, back to back.
"Remember what we used to say when we were kids?" asked Dante.
"JACKPOT!" they said as they fired at the swords in Arkham's body, killing him as his black heart floated into the air.
"I've got it!" said Rexoz, capturing it with her two keyblades.
"Rexoz, you really have grown powerful, but I must reclaim the sword of Sparda now," said Maleficent as she took it from Arkham's corpse.
"Vergil…," she said, stabbing him in the back with it. Vergil turned around and faced her but walked away from the blade as it slid out of his body as though it were nothing.
"Die!" he said as he came after Maleficent, but she disappeared into a portal. Vergil grew angry.
"Calm down, Blue. That would've killed most people, you know," said Xigbar.
"Yeah, Vergil. Arkham's gone," said Dante.
"As is my sword," said Vergil.
"But you two beat Arkham together. You're both really powerful even without the sword and work better together," said Rexoz.
"I guess she's right," said Dante.
"Now there's no reason for me to stick around in this tower anymore. It was just a waste!" said Vergil.
"It wasn't, I got to see my brother after so many years. Sure, you're a huge jerk and all, but hey, I'm…cocky…ish," said Dante.
"We all have our flaws you know. Red here is egotistical while Blue is powermad, Shyness is well, too shy, and I'm…a little bit of a smart mouth," said Xigbar.
"What next, Vergil?" asked Dante.
"I don't know, but I have to use my power for something," said Vergil.
"Hunt devils with me. You can be my partner at the Devil May Cry," said Dante.
"You should, you two made a great team," said Rexoz.
"Very well…," sighed Vergil as they all went to the shop and ate strawberry sundaes and pizza until they were beyond full.
