Michael stood in a wide cave, the ground covered in grass heavily contrasted to the brown walls. He leaned against a wall closer to door on the far side. He watched the entrance of the tower, waiting for the traitors and their new friends. He felt the enhancers and stimulants pumping through his veins. This would allow his speed and strength superior to any human. He held his prized sword in both hands. Its ornate golden hilt was the perfect mirror. His two handguns at his sides. "They had better hurry up," he said aloud.

Vergil and Dante stood before the tower's entrance. They turned to the others, "Remember if things get too heavy for you, step back. We can handle it." Virgil said. Apparently it hit all of the human's egos, they were sure they could keep up with the twins. Michaella and Evan still led their group of demon hunters. Virgil though had a suspicion that was only on the surface. He believed Josef and Jordan to really be pulling the strings.

Jenn pushed ahead, intending on ending the awkward silence. They entered a large cave. Green grass lay across a field within the cave. A figure leaned against the wall at the end of the cave beside a large door staring at them. Evan recognized him immediately, "Michael what are you doing here?"

The figure said nothing. He did start walking towards them, a sword leisurely being held beside his body. He wore all black. A tight shirt was layered over by an unbuttoned black dress shirt. Black dress pants moved easily with his legs. "They know very well why we are here." Michael said.

The demon hunters looked to be taken aback. All but Josef and Jordan, Virgil noticed.

"We?" Evan appeared puzzled.

"The Order has come to stop you from unleashing the full power of this tower."

"What?"

"Michael… What's happened?"

"The councilors have told us that you've betrayed the human race, siding with the demons and intend to be rewarded once the demon emperor is here."

Dante interjected, "Bullshit politics."

Virgil stood motionless, taking in every hint of what was going on. Of course, that's why humans tried to kill Josef and Jordan. The Order had somehow turned their members against the demon hunters, was they really on the demons side, or was Jordan and Josef playing a lie. Virgil decided to get some answers. "So Michael I guess it is. Do you know why these demon hunters have defected?"

Doesn't matter. I'm here to stop them."

"Why did they send you to take on all of them? You even admitted to being inferior to both Evan and Aaron."

"I have enhancements that make me stronger and faster than all of you."

"I highly doubt that."

"I've heard enough Spikey boy, you don't know what you're dealing with."

Michael lunged forward, his sword point whistling towards Vergil. Michael's movements amazed the demons hunters. He was fast, but not as fast as a devil. Vergil caught Michael's blade in between his index and middle fingers. Michael flipped backwards; missing Vergil's jaw entirely as Vergil gracefully pulled his head back. As Michael landed a clear sign of bewilderment showed on his face, one quickly replaced by anger. "How did you do that?" He demanded.

"Quite easily really" Vergil said, dismissing Michael with a wave of his hand. Michael was furious. He wouldn't let some white haired little punk best him. Michael's handguns flew to his hands and he immediately began firing on Vergil. Vergil chuckled and cut the bullets to pieces with Yamato. Michael reloaded one of the guns while firing the other and aimed at the demon hunters, at least he could get them.

Evan dove behind Vergil's blade. "Move now!" he yelled. The other demon hunters moved behind Vergil as well, Michael's bullets pinged harmlessly against Yamato.

"Dante. Go," Vergil said. Dante twirled in the air above Vergil, landing in front of him. Michael fired at the other boy that faced him. Dante twirled as he moved towards Michael, who was now steadily moving backwards. Dante's two handguns each in his hands, shooting continuously as bullets deflected each other.

The demon hunters were not being left out of this fight. Evan, Josef and Jenn moved up on side of the cave while the others did the same on the other side. They had almost reached their flanking positions when both demons and demon hunters of the Order came from both the door and thin air.

The battle had become chaotic. Vergil no longer focused on Michael, allowing Dante to do with he willed with the boy. He instead moved towards where Jordan had been abandoned alone. Vergil cut his way through over thirty demons although none seemed to notice him until they were already dust. With Vergil there Jordan and he were able to move back to where their allies had decided to barricade themselves. Only Dante remained in the thick of the battle. Two of the demon hunters came at him, intend on helping Michael. They were quickly flanked and swarmed by demons before they could reach Dante.

Michael had slipped back towards the door, "Stay," he heard a voice, only in his mind. Michaels legs were not his own anymore, he couldn't flee.

The demon hunters had little co ordination. The demons had none. Michael could barely see through the thick of battle. He caught only a glimpse of the silver haired man as he moved swiftly through the battlefield.

As the battle raged in the cavern, tranquility had overcome the rooftop of the tower. Once more the same figure stood over a liquid like screen, watching the battle of the cavern. Two more men moved up behind the figure, also wearing much the same attire as the figure, only blue. They also looked upon the pieces of the battle. "Master Neratu, who sent those men?" the figure spoke.

"I did." Master Neratu replied.

"It was a mistake."

"I know, but Michael would have lost to the silver haired twins had I not intervened"

"And the demons?"

"They show on their own accords, we have no control over this tower or it's minions"

The third figure did not speak, instead he concealed his features. "This will end in an unnecessary amount of life lost," Master Neratu said.

The figure appeared dazed for a moment. Almost entranced by the battle. So many questions, only one way to find the answer. "Master Neratu, have your men pull out,"

"Of course." Master Neratu spoke. With that he turned on his heels, flipped his hood over his head and walked off.

"Master Neil. Once the men are out, have a squad of your new riders fight these two twins. I want to see just how powerful these two are."

"Of course Grand Master." The third man finally said. Neil turned around left the strange figure alone once more.

"Hmm, this could be interesting."
