Vergil stood in the cemetary training himself, he believed his speed with the Yamato was lost. He was doing this for a few days. He wasn't aware of him being watched by the other citizens of Halloween Town.

The witches walked upto him and asked. "Why are you doing this to yourself boy? Why are you working this hard and for this long?"

Vergil stopped and answered the two questions. "Why? I have become rusty, incase of any kind of attack I wouldn't do so good. It originally took me years to master this sword. So I might just need days to rgain that back."

Jack, Sally and their son Axel were watching him. Axel smiled and asked his father. "Can I learn to use one of those?" Jack replied. "I don't know, I can't teach you son. Vergil might be able to teach you if you had your own sword." Sally sighed. "Jack don't give him any ideas! Next thing we need is Axel cutting everything up."

As Vergil practiced and as the whole town watched him they weren't aware of what was going to happen.

Oogie looked at a shadow that had three dog heads and was chained up. "Cerberus you fight Vergil first, then Agni and Rudra, then Nevan, then Beowulf, then Geryon. Last, but not least...We will lead Vergil to the Doppelganger pit. However I want you folks to be spread out. I don't want to lose you all in one day."

The shadows nodded and said in unison. "Yes Oogie."

Vergil stopped practicing as he grew slightly tired. "Now I will stop." He put his sword in its sheath and he walked back to the house that he was staying in. When he got inside he put his sword on a japanese sword rack.

Jack was researching the Yamato and other katanas. He learned how to use one, but he was going to teach Axel himself.

Axel was running around with a big stick fighting around like it was sword. Axel was only five and a half. He was very smart for anything his age.
