Chapter Two: Jailbreak

Vergil awoke in a small, damp cell made of bricks. He sat on the bench with one leg on it and the other one hanging loosely. He rested his left arm on his left knee. He shook off the unconsciousness and realized he still had his sheathe. He quickly stood up, touched his sheathe, and looked at his sheathe in a single second. But his katana wasn't there. He then searched under his black vest and pulled out his half of the amulet. He held on to it and looked at it for a while, before hiding it under his vest again. At least he still had the amulet.

"Mundus..." He mumbled under his breath.

Vergil walked towards the cell's gate, looking at his neighboring cells and its jailors. Each cell had a human which was actually the soul of a human but looked as alive as Vergil himself in them. Each cell was also guarded by the demon of the Hell Family that belonged to the sin the person was in Hell for. Vergil's cell was guarded by a Hell Pride and a Hell Greed. He saw that the Hell Greed had the key to his cell, but was out of reach. But he couldn't find any demon around that had his precious Yamato. So he stood right where he was, analyzing a way to escape.

'I could try breaking the gate, after all, I'm physically alive and I have extraordinary strength...'

Vergil squeezed two bars of the cell gate tight. He tried with all his might many times to forcefully open it, but failed. So he sat back down on the bench the way he was before and continued to plan another way to escape. But his mind was easily distracted. His recent memories were back to haunt him; the fight with his brother and the fight with Mundus.

"Get a grip on yourself Vergil!" He told himself and shrugged the memories away.

He continued to sit there, but his other thoughts got the best of him again. His anger was bubbling in his brain, itching to be unleashed. Vergil had a never-ending frown on his face, and he had the urge to inflict pain into others, into Mundus. He wanted to kill Mundus, he wanted to prove to Dante he was stronger. He was a true son of Sparda. Dante was a blood-traitor who sided with the humans, as well as his father, so his father was a blood-traitor too, was he going mad?

"I will not take this anymore, I am a true son of Sparda!"

Vergil furiously stood up and transformed into a devil form he had never transformed into before... He transformed into the very devil form of Sparda without the Yamato, Force Edge, or any other sword that belonged to Sparda! He was outraged and he pushed the gate with one hand which blew away the demons guarding his cell and the one in front of it. He walked out of the cell, stepping over the rubble, and many of the jailors came charging at him. When they tried to stab him with their scythes however, they got pushed high and far into the air by the very power of Vergil's devil trigger.

"I will kill Mundus, and claim the throne of the Underworld!" The angered transformed half-devil declared in exclamation.

He fought the jailors hand-to-hand and broke some of the prisoners nearby free. They too tried to attack Vergil, which was a mistake because he destroyed the ghouls and the demons all the same. He then saw a door at the far end of the prision hallway. He ran at a ridiculously fast speed while any demons and prisoners he came close to got blown away by the devil trigger's momentum.

"Get out of my way, none of you are worthy of battling the true son of Sparda!"

And when he reached the end, he smashed the door into bits and walked through the doorframe. He was in a storage room, and he felt his amulet slightly burning. He looked around slowly and found what he was looking for. One of the swords Sparda forged on Earth that was later handed down to him. He took it, and transformed back to his normal form. He examined it to see it was just fine, and sheathed it. He then walked out of the storage room, and looked at the mess he had left in the prision hallway. The son of Sparda felt his amulet reacting to something's power in the atmosphere; it was trying to tell him something. He then transformed into his real devil trigger, his father's devil form, once again. He pulled out Yamato and slashed a straight line in the air just in front of him. This opened a strange portal. He transformed back to his human form and sheathed Yamato. He picked up a large piece of debris and threw it through the portal. He wanted to make sure it worked.

"What in the..."

His amulet started to burn more than ever and some strange invisible force coming from the portal even pulled out his amulet from under his vest and tried to pull the amulet inside.

"...Devil's name..."

He stood there analyzing the portal that unsuccessfully tried to suck his amulet, since it was around his neck already. But then even he started to slide a little towards the portal. The portal's power got stronger and stronger, as he got pulled more harshly towards it. It was so strong that the amulet's chain eventually broke from behind Vergil's neck and was going to go through the portal. But Vergil refused to lose his mother's gift. He snatched it back when it was close to being inside the portal and the force pulled him along with it. He got lifted off the ground against his will and he approached the portal.

"...is this?"

Just in time Vergil flipped in mid-air and closed his arms and legs tightly to his side to make a perfect dive into the portal. He went in entirely with the amulet and traveled through the rift in space-time continuum. He could see the end of the wormhole getting closer and closer, and when he reached it he just saw a bright white light everywhere.
