Sorry for the long wait, I ended up getting invested in my other stories and then fell into a inspiration ditch. Special thanks to my friend Ethan, who is probably reading this.

Suck it, Ethan.

PheonixQueen15: Yeah, Vergil is having quite the emotional meltdown. Another reason why he needs therapy.

lio4567892012: Did you just uwu? How. Dare. You. All joking aside, thanks for the praise!

Cipher (Guest): Thanks my dude! I hope you keep reading and keep smiling!

BurningBlaze1996: Oh yeah. I always look at the Sparda family and imagine the fun antics that Sparda and the twins would get into and the weird situations between Eva's parents and Sparda. Repairing the Sparda fam is gonna be a long journey.

KiroZen: Heh, yeah. Friendly is definitely not the word for it. Ass kicking is always interesting to watch right? Hell, I'm subscribed to the r/fightporn subReddit.

Xana100: Hey, with both Nero and Dante around Vergil isn't going to be trying any power hungry stuff without a swift 'knock your shit off' punch. Plus, I couldn't keep a solid timeline so I just decided to make this it's own thing.

NightTheif200: Well, here you go! Enjoy the ass-kicking!

Vergil stepped into the Bloody Palace, feeling the sound of his footsteps change thanks to the marbled floor. Nero followed, the sound of his boots being drastically different from Vergil's black socks. He really shouldn't have taken them off.

The blue half devil paced into the middle of the arena, Yamato materialising in his hand with a flash of dark blue energy. The sound of the door closing and the legs of a chair meeting the floor met Vergil's ears, prompting him to turn around.

There Dante sat in a chair off to the side of the arena, an entire bottle of Jack Daniels in his palm. Nero walked to the other side of the arena, his Red Queen held tightly in his hand.

"You do not intend to participate?"

Vergil asked, his eyes locked onto his red coated twin. Dante flashed a smirk as he opened the bottle of liquor.

"Nope. Not for the first round anyway."

He said before tipping back the bottle and downing a quarter of the liquid. Vergil made a noise of disgust before moving to the side of the arena opposite to Nero. Yamato hummed in his hand, but it felt strangely alien now.

After so long not using the demonic katana, Yamato seemed like a completely different weapon. It had an imprint of Nero's devil side on it, along with a hidden scent of his own power. Vergil gazed at the sword for a moment before turning around. He tossed Yamato at Nero, who caught it warily in his right hand.

Nero glanced at the katana before looking back at Vergil.

"I thought this was yours?"

"It is. I would like to examine your form. Test your skill."

Nero looked at Yamato again before shrugging and absorbing it into his Devil Bringer. He then slid the Red Queen onto his back and shook his shoulders in preparation. Vergil summoned Takemikazuchi, resting his hand on the grip lightly.

"Your funeral."

Nero said, his eyes flashing with a hint of anger. Vergil's own blue orbs narrowed with a cold calculation, as if he was predicting Nero's attacks before he even began the fight.

"We shall see."

The two stilled in the span of a quarter of a second, their stances so unmoving that they might as well have been made of stone. The wind whistled as it passed and the sound of Dante taking a drink was heard.

The younger half devil sat patiently for approximately two minutes, his hand clenched tightly on his drink. Eventually he sighed and waved his hand at the two.

"Oh, hurry it up already!"

Both Nero and Vergil rolled their eyes simultaneously before resuming their frozen stance. After a few more seconds of waiting, Nero dashed forward with the speed of a motorbike, his hand drawing the Red Queen with trained fluidity.

Vergil leaned to the side as the blade came crashing down, cracking the Bloody Palace floor as it met with the marble. Nero gritted his teeth as he revved the Red Queen and pulled it from the marble, using the momentum for a diagonal slash.

Vergil hopped backward in response, bringing forth a few summoned swords to snipe at his biological offspring. Nero weaved between the spectral blades, clenching his right fist as he drew close. As he reached his father, Nero slammed his boot into the floor, making it slide to a stop and putting great amounts of kinetic energy into Nero's attack.

The quarter devil dipped his body to the side, allowing the Devil Bringer to sweep near the floor and unleash a devastating uppercut to Vergil's jaw. A blue ghost hand followed the attack, lifting the older devil up by the stomach. Nero tossed his father into the air and followed up with a powerful slam downward, the spectral fist executing the attack perfectly.

Nero took a step back, shaking his hand in mock pain as the demonic hologram faded. Vergil rose from the floor with a groan, but failed to get anywhere farther than a knee up before Nero slammed his fist into his stomach. The older devil slid across the arena with Dante clapping wildly to the side and whistling.

Vergil put his left hand behind him, flipping his body upward and putting him into Judgement Cut position. He swiftly drew Takemikazuchi, striking with a speed faster than even Yamato. Nero rushed towards Vergil, leaping forward and rolling past the circle of cuts thay would've hit him otherwise. Nero used the momentum of the roll to quick-draw the Red Queen, slamming the blade down with the force of a train.

Vergil lifted Takemikazuchi, stopping the attack easily and shoving it to the side. He swung Takemikazuchi upward, cutting into Nero's side and sending them both into the air. Vergil then slashed at Nero in an X shape, adding two more gashes to the quarter devil's shirt. Vergil lifted his sword upward and sent it downwards, but Nero managed to block the strike with the lever on the Red Queen.

Nero slammed into the floor painfully before rolling backwards and coming to a stop. He reached forward, sending a spectral hand to grab the still airborn Vergil. The blue half devil slashed at the hand, easily dispersing the hologram. As soon as Vergil met the floor he gripped the handle of Takemikazuchi and popped the tsuba.

A blue doppelganger of Vergil faded into existence a few feet away, mirroring Vergil as he rushed forward and cut into Nero a multitude of times and sending his son tumbling backward. Vergil slipped Takemikazuchi into it's sheath with a smug grin, feeling as Dante raged in the corner.

"You stole my Doppelganger Style! You dick!"

Nero rose from the floor with a growl, setting the Red Queen on his back and pumping his fist into the air. A wave of demonic energy ripped through the Bloody Palace as Nero activated his D.T. and summoned Yamato into the palm of his Devil Bringer. Vergil took a step back as Nero lowered Yamato to his side lazily, his eyes glowing with a dangerous red haze.

Nero rushed forward, dragging the point of Yamato along the floor. Vergil frowned in disgust watching the action, finding it off-putting to see Yamato be used so carelessly. Nero took advantage of this and quickly lifted Yamato from the floor, spinning before unleashing a slightly diagonal cut. Vergil brought up Takemikazuchi to defend from the attack, but his distraction had not given him enough time to prepare and sent Takemikazuchi staggering to the right.

From there Nero executed a flurry of mad blows, with each one unable to be effectively blocked by Vergil and driving him back little by little. Nero's eyes glazed over with fury as he attacked, and Vergil noticed that the spectral demon knight was absent from the battle.

Vergil then found an opening, deflecting Nero's next blow with great prescision and executing Rising Star which sent them both flying into the air. Vergil slashed downwards as the Rising Star reached it's crescendo, tossing Nero downwards and into the floor with a heavy thud and the tiny crack of the quarter devil's back popping.

Nero's Trigger failed as he tumbled across the floor, dispersing the dark blue aura around him. Vergil landed elegantly, Takemikazuchi held lightly in his left hand. Nero coughed and spluttered as he tried to pry himself from the floor with Yamato, but ended up falling back down to the marble.

Dante lifted himself from his chair, walking over to the younger devil while pulling a small Vital Star from his coat pocket. He crouched down near Nero and offered the crystal item to him, a smirk on his face.

"Here ya go kid. Go have a seat, me and your old man are gonna show you a real fight."

Nero leaned upwards and took the Vital Star before hoisting himself up and limping over to the chair Dante had set. Dante began to walk over to where Vergil had stood before his bout with Nero before stopping and pointing at the younger man.

"Hey, toss Yamato back to your dad, would ya? Want this one to be even."

Dante said in a tone that wasn't exactly demanding, but more of a gentle request. Nero gripped the edge of the chair before throwing Yamato at Vergil, who caught it by the handle with ease. The older half devil then dismissed Takemikazuchi and summoned the sheath to Yamato.

Dante lifted his hand and grabbed Rebellion, drawing it ever so slightly upwards. Vergil slipped Yamato into it's sheath, but didn't completely put the blade into the holder.

Dante then exploded with demonic energy, his Devil Trigger shaking the very air around him with power. He pulled Rebellion from his back and let it hang by his side, preparing to engage his twin. Vergil also Triggered, but only moved Yamato into a slightly different stance.

The two stood still for a bit, their demonic energies making Nero sneeze painfully, as he had not yet eaten the Vital Star. They stared each other down with a brotherly anger, similar to that of a child who wanted his sibling's toy.

They exploded forward- literally, as their demonic power propelled them forward at speeds that would make a fighter jet jealous. The air rattled as their weapons collided, making Nero grip the chair in order to not fall backward.

Dante was the first to disengage the clash, backing away and swinging horizontally. Vergil squatted downward, quick-drawing Yamato and cutting into Dante's stomach. He responded in kind, slamming Rebellion down on Vergil's head before swinging upward and sending both into the air.

Vergil managed to recover as he moved upward, stopping Dante's combo with a two stroke attack and ending it with a downward strike. Dante slammed into the floor feet first, bringing up Rebellion to defend from Vergil's Helm Splitter.

Dante shoved Yamato to the side before slashing into Vergil's stomach. He followed with a helicopter slash and ended with a Stinger, sending Vergil sliding backwards. Vergil prepared a Judgement Cut as he slid across the marble, and unleashed the attack as he came to a stop.

Dante swiftly sheathed Rebellion before blocking the wave of slashes with Royal Guard. Vergil rushed forward, sending both of them back into the sky with a Rising Star. Vergil then sent three strikes into Dante's chest and ended with a slash downwards.

Dante landed on his back this time, rolling backwards and flowing into another Stinger. Vergil landed just in time to smack the strike away, which Dante transitioned into a sideways cut. Vergil fended off that attack as well before bringing Yamato above his head and meeting Dante in a heavy clash.

Rebellion and Yamato ground loudly as the two twins pressed against each other, with each trying to overpower the other with their demonic strength. Their Devil Triggers remained steadfast, showing just how much power the two possessed.

Their wounds healed as they maintained the clash, giving them both a chance to recover while also exerting their strength.

Eventually the two leapt away, once again facing each other at the opposite side of the Bloody Palace. They breathed heavily as they waited to attack again, clearly at least somewhat exhausted from their initial bout.

They then rushed forward again, their blades ready to strike. Time seemed to slow as they ran towards each other, their demonic energies trailing behind them. As they reached each other, they unleashed their attack and cut deeply into each others sides, slicing clearly through each other's abdomens.

They then slid to a stop, their Triggers fading away in a snap of red and blue lightning. They stood still before falling to their knees, using their respective swords to prop themselves upward. They stayed that way for a while, their heavy breathing being what filled the silence.

Eventually Dante's heaving moved into a chuckle, which drew Vergil's attention.

"What are you... Laughing about?..."

"I guess this one... Is a tie?..."

Vergil gave another heavy breath before smiling.

"I suppose it is..."
