Thanks for the reviews!

"I must of missed something good..."

The twins turned to see Rune, watching them, and stopped laughing instantly.

Vergil grew angry, walking right up to the boy, and kneeling so that he was so close, Rune could feel the warmth of his breath.

"You little liar..." Vergil's upper lip curled up. "You told me that your mother said that I raped her..." Vergil grabbed him by his shirt.

The boy stood silently, unwavering.

Vergil shook him violently. "DAMMIT...ANSWER ME RUNE..."

The boy still said nothing.

Dante walked in from the balcony, looking at the scene in front of him. "Ummmm...did I miss something here?"

Both Rune, and Vergil turned to him, answering him at the same time. "Not now Dante!"

Dante threw his hands up in the air. "Fine! Jesus..." He sulked off into the room, looking at the various works of art that were hanging on the walls, but still watching the two over his shoulder.

Vergil shook Rune once more. "YOU KNEW THE TRUTH ALL ALONG, AND YET YOU SAID NOTHING!" The dark twin's eyes flashed red, scaring Rune slightly.

"SO WHAT IF I DID! WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD IT OF MADE, IF I HAD TOLD YOU THE TRUTH!" He hung his head. "Nothing matters now, for your fate is already sealed."

Vergil cocked his head down, so that he could see his sons face. "What do you mean...sealed?"

The boy sighed deeply. "I have told Mundus of your location..." He brought his head back up to the same level as his fathers. "He will be here soon, to eliminate both of you." Rune pushed away from Vergil. "It is for the best I imagine...father..."

Dante's snapped around like a slingshot. "Did you just say...father?"

Rune nodded. "Yes...this man is my father..."

Dante looked at Vergil as if to say "What the hell..."

"I will tell you all of the details later Dante...but for now...we must get out of here." Vergil ran to the doors, opening them slightly, and peeking out. He could make out the tops of several guards heads, coming up the staircase, and closed them quietly.

The dark twin's eyes shut tightly. "I can feel him. He is close."

Dante was meanwhile looking all over the room for a place to escape. "Oh shit...thats just great..." He turned to Rune. "Thanks alot nephew..."

Rune suddenly felt the urge to cry, but held his feelings indside tightly as he had always been taught to.

Vergil and Dante backed into the middle of the room, the younger twin handing Yamato back to his brother. The two faced the door, weapons drawn.

"It was great while it lasted Verge...eh?"

"It was the best Dante..."

A minute later, the doors were flung open, guards rushing in, and Mundus following them.

Rune was standing at his desk, his sword at his side.

Mundus looked around. "Where are they servant?" His voice echoed through the room.

Rune said nothing, instead pointing to the open balcony doors. "Appearantly, the two of them can turn themselves into demons, and both flew out a moment ago..."

Several guards ran out onto the balcony, looking around, as Mundus continued to eye the boy.

"You would not lie to your father, would you Rune?"

"No sir..." Rune kept his head down, refusing to make eye contact with Mundus.

From inside the bedroom's small closet, Vergil heard Dante whisper to him. "But I thought you said that you were the kids..."

Vergil put his hand over his twins mouth tightly. "Shhhhh Dante..."

Mundus turned his head quickly to his side. "Did you hear something Rune?"

Rune, who had indeed heard a whisper, stood stoically. "No master...why did you?"

Mundus began to walk around the room slowly. "I would hope for your sake Rune, that I don't find anything..." He looked at the boy. "...or anyone that would tell me otherwise..."

Rune stood in place, his stomach in knots, knowing what it would mean for him, if Mundus discovered the twins.

Mundus made his way around the room, before stopping in front of a closet door, and began to reach for the handle.

Inside, Vergil's face was pained, as sweat dripped from his forehead, the presence of his former master making him feel sick. He was doing his best to remain strong, trying to block out the voice in his head that was seeking him.

"Sir!" Two guards ran into the room, dropping to thier knees in front of Mundus.

Mundus turned to face them. "What is it?"

"Sir! Commander Edris requests your presence at once sir!"

"What is it in reagards to?" Mundus looked annoyed at the sudden intrusion.

"Something about the syrum sir!"

Mundus motioned for this guards to leave. "Very well...tell him I will be with him shortly."

"Very good sir!" The two guards saluted thier god, and ran out of the room.

Mundus began to leave the room, before turning to Rune. "I better not find out that you have aided in the Sparda's escape boy, because if I do, it won't matter if you are my son or not." He turned walking away. "You will die painfully, just as any other traitor would." He closed the doors behind him.

After he was gone, Rune let his breath out, just then realizing that he had been holding it.

He turned to the closet, to see Dante peeking his head out. "Is the coast clear?"

Rune rolled his eyes. "Yes...for the time being."

The twins exited the closet, before walking to Rune's side.

Dante put a hand on the boy's shoulder. "Thanks for that..."

The boy swated his hand away. "I didn't do it for you. I did it for myself."

Vergil looked confused. "Yourself?"

Rune sighed as if annoyed with the question he had been asked. "Yes...myself." He walked towards the balcony, stopping before it. "For you see, I believe that with the two of you helping me, I can kill Mundus, and therefore take control of his throne."

Vergil grew concerned for his son. "That is not something that you want Rune...please listen to me when I tell you, that..."

Rune whipped around to face his father. "Do not patronize me by telling me what you think I might or might not want...I don't even know you."

Dante became angered by Rune's tone. "Heh shorty...don't talk to my brother like that you little..." He was stopped short by his twin's arm in front of him.

Vergil closed his eyes, hurt by Rune's statement, but unwilling to admit it. "Then maybe... we should get to know eachother."

"I suppose we do..."

Dante stood silently, watching the two. "Well, I'll take it that's my cue to leave or something..."

"Shall we go out onto the balcony?" Vergil looked at Rune questioningly.

"That will do just fine."

As the two left the room, Dante went over to a large bed, and flopped down on it, staring up at the canopy, before falling into a quiet slumber.

The two walked outside, and over to a small table that had two chairs on either side of it. Rune took a seat and motioned for Vergil to do the same.

The two sat in silence, not looking at eachother, for quite some time.

Vergil took a deep breath. "I know that you know of your heritage Rune. I know that you know about my father...Sparda."

"Yeah...so what?"

Vergil sat back in his chair. "So do you know what that means, in terms of what you are capable of?"

"All I know is that I'm faster and stronger than most beings I have ever encountered."

"Do you know why that is?" Vergil stared at his son, trying his best to read him.

"My mother just told me that I was somehow special, but I don't know what that means."

Vergil shook his head. "Special is a gross understatement Rune."

The boy looked confused. "Why is that?"

"I suppose you are at the age now, that I can begin to help you channel your energy, and become what you are destined be."

Rune cocked one eye up. "What I am to become? What's that supposed to mean?"

Vergil laughed softly. "Rune, in your veins flows not only the blood of a human, but that of a demon as well."

Rune laughed loudly. "You actually expect me to believe a story like that? My mother was not a demon, she was a huma..." He suddenly stopped, looking at the serious look on Vergil's face. "You...you are a demon aren't you?

Vergil nodded. "My brother and I are half-breeds Rune, thanks to our human mother, and our devil father. We have the ability to look and act human, but we also posses the ability to trigger inner demons within ourselves."

Rune was in shock. "So are you telling me, that I am a half-breed as well...because of you?"

Vergil nodded. "Thats exactly what I am telling you."

Rune sat silently with a look of complete shock on his face.

"With the right amount of training, and focus, I can help you discover exactly what you are capable of."

Rune seemed to ponder this for a moment. "I am fast...but as far as fighting with my sword, I was never trained to use it, so I don't really know what I am doing."

Vergil smiled at his son. "Don't worry Rune. When I get done with you, you will be a far greater swordsman than even I am."

Rune moved as if he had remembered something, reaching for his sword. He started to untie the gold tassels that adorned the sheath. "I suppose that you want these back now..."

Vergil laid his hand on top of Rune's. "No...you keep those. They are the sign of a true warrior. I want you to have them."

Rune smiled at his father for the first time. "Thanks dad..."

Vergil ruffled up his white hair, as the two walked back inside.

Suddenly they both stopped, in complete shock, at the sound of two hands clapping filling thier ears with terror.

"Bravo Rune...you have caught the Sparda twins just as I knew that you would..." Mundus was standing next to the bed that Dante had been napping on, clapping his hands together slowly. A guard now held a sharp sword to the young twins throat.

"I'm sorry Verge...I didn't have time to..." He was silenced, as the guard cut into his throat, just enough to make a small trickle of blood appear.

Vergil instinctivly stepped in front of his son. "Mundus..."

"So we meet again, dark knight...or should I say dark traitor..." He began to laugh. "And as for you Rune...join me..." He motioned for the boy to take his side.

Rune stood his ground, unwavering as Mundus eyed him.

Mundus looked at the two of them, as if he was trying to put something together in his mind. "Why do you shield my son, Nelo Angelo?"

Vergil sneered. "I no longer go by that name Mundus. You will address me as Vergil, or not at all."

Mundus laughed. "I have your baby brother held, with a sword to his throat, and you DARE smart off at me?"

Vergil hung his head. "Don't hurt him. I will go with you peacefully if you don't"

"No Vergil...Don't give in to him! I'll be fine, just don't..."

Mundus sent a flying fist into the side of Dante's head, knocking him out cold. "I was begining to tire of his incesant whining anyways..."

Vergil started to fly forwards toward Mundus, when he felt something tug him back. He looked to see that Rune had grabbed ahold of his coat. "Not now..."

Vergil nodded, stepping back.

Mundus was taken-a-back at his son's brash actions. "Rune...why do you protect this piece of scum? He is nothing but a traitor to everything that we stand for..."

Rune took a deep breath, and began to walk around Vergil, only to have an arm stop him. Vergil looked down concerned for Rune, only to have the boy nod at him, and push past him.

"I will no longer live with the lie that tears at my soul..." Rune looked Mundus in the eyes. "It is time that you know the truth..."
