The Fallen Angel
Part two
"You fool!" bellowed Mundus. "I spare your life, even though you are the son of my most reviled enemy. I gave you the chance to survive, however pathetic the existence.And you have the audacity to summon me! I will burn you like the maggot you are."
Vergil was unfazed. "Wait!" he shouted. "Let me speak. I would like to offer you my allegiance," he announced calmly
Mundus was silent. "An interesting request. The son of Sparda serving me? How wonderfully ironic. But why should I trust you?"
"There is nothing else for me in this place. We will both benefit from me serving you. You will have one of the greatest swordsmen ever known among your ranks," Vergil said without a trace of modesty.
"And you?" Mundus questioned.
"I will have the opportunity to face and defeat my brother, Dante. I despise him, and his death is all I care about" Vergil lied.
"Very well" bellowed Mundus. "But you must swear allegiance to me."
Vergil got down on his knees and unsheathed his sword, holding it out horizontally in front of him. "I swear, upon this sword and my life, to serve and obey the great Mundus without question" Vergil rose. "I have another request. Although I am sure I can defeat my brother, I would like my victory to be guaranteed. I ask for your power to aid me."
"You shall become the greatest swordsman ever known," replied Mundus. The three orbs grew brighter, then with a loud crackle three lightening bolts shot out and struck Vergil. He was carried into the air by the bolts.
Vergil tried to yell, but no sound came out. He could feel tremendous energy flow through his body, entering every fibre of his being. Vergil felt his body growing; he was becoming taller, stronger. Strange armour materilaised on his body. It was incredibly tough and heavy, but Vergil's new body could carry it easily. A cape flowed down his back. Then a strange helmet with curved horns materialised above Vergil, and slowly lowered onto his head. Finally a colossal sword appeared, almost as tall as Vergil himself was. It radiated powerful energy; Vergil knew this was a mighty weapon. The lightening disappeared, and Vergil dropped to the ground on his knees, propped up by his sword.
"You are now reborn, a powerful demon, and no doubt will become one of the greatest of my servants." spoke Mundus. Arise, Nelo Angelo, the Dark Angel.
