Chapter 10: Savior

Dante/Vergil

His devilish eyes widen slightly as he gazed to his twin brother, a grin forming on his demonic face before he looked back to Argosax, his wings allowing him to take off at an extreme speed towards the gigantic demon.
Dante was ready to end this fight, and so he let out a demonic roar as he swung the Force Edge upward, plunging it into the orange skin of Argosax as red lightning surged through his blade. He continued to soar upward, dragging the blade behind him to form a massive cut.

The twin in blue narrowed his eyes as he watched Dante fly up, his grip on the sheathed Yamato began to tighten as his rage built.
In a flash of blue light, Vergil had entered his demon form as well. Large wings began to extend, almost as if the coat he wore had transformed into the demonic addition due to their blue appearance and torn ends. Nonetheless, he used them to soar up as well, becoming a blue blur as the Yamato stabbed into Argosax. It was then drug behind Vergil, causing another massive cut across the demon.

Both sons of Sparda left a trail in their wake. One was red, the other blue.
The slashes left in their wake were also the color that represented each devil, Dante's being larger, yet Vergil's being so deep it went through to it's back, forming a cut that should have severed part of it's body.
The two then reached the shoulders of the beast, both turning before flying towards it's neck, each swinging with demonic roars and forcing their blades to slice right through it.

Vergil sheathed the Yamato in an instant, turning his back to the ground as he was sent in a free fall.
His blue eyes stare directly at Argosax as he grits his teeth, his eyes widening yet keeping their burning rage within.

Dante placed the Force Edge onto his back as he transitioned back into his human form, though he wasted no time in pulling out Ebony and Ivory before pulling their triggers, sending a barrage of bullets at Argosax.

Despite every bit of damage done, it all began to heal at an alarming rate.
The wounds made by the sons of Sparda were regenerated in little time.

The devil in blue remained in his demon form.
Vergil used his wings to fly around to the front of the massive devil as a demonic version of Beowulf manifested on his hands and feet, sending holy light from his arms and legs.
A demonic screech was let out as he rushed in, sending punch after punch into Argosax's chest, each being stronger and faster than the last before Vergil reached his top speed and strength.
There was nothing but a flurry of punches tearing through the demon's flesh in a rapid succession.

Eventually, a massive hole was formed that went straight through the demon's chest.

The Blue Devil flew out through this, transitioning back into his human form before falling to the ground, landing perfectly on his feet.

It mattered not in the end. The hole in it's chest began to heal at an extreme rate, leaving both sons of Sparda in surprise.

"Still you persist? Don't you understand? Argosax is unstoppable! His exterior in this form is not capable of being harmed!" the loud voice of Sanctus yelled out before he himself became visible, covered in a suit of golden armor not unlike his knights that have been faced in the past, though those had no one within them.
Metal wings began to to extend from the armor before he flew down at Dante with extreme speed, swinging his sword.

The Devil Hunter blocked with ease, holding the Force Edge tightly as he stared to the red glow escaping Sanctus' helmet. "You dunno when to lay down and stay dead, do ya?"

"As long as the savior grants me strength, I cannot die!" Sanctus responded, breaking the weapon lock before swinging his blade horizontally.

Jumping back, Dante was quick to respond by thrusting his Sword forward, stabbing it into the old man's armor so deep it stuck out the back, blood beginning to drip from the Force Edge.
"So you're saying you'll only die for good if we destroy your buddy here?"

Dropping his sword, Sanctus put his armored hands onto the Force Edge's blade as he let out a yell.
"You will never destroy Argosax! He is invincible!"

The Red Devil Hunter used his demonic strength to lift his blade, splitting Sanctus and his armor in twain as he spoke "You said earlier his exterior can't be harmed..."
He then began to get an idea since smashing it didn't work like it usually would. "Vergil! Throw the Yamato into it's chest!"

The Dark Slayer was taken by surprise. "What? What sort of idiocy would that be?" he insulted, blue eyes narrowing once more.

"Trust me. I got an idea." he responded. "I just hope it works." he mumbled under his breath.

At first Vergil seemed hesitant, but nothing they did seemed to be working. He realized slowly that there wasn't much to lose, and so he leaped high into the air, unsheathing his blade before using all of his strength the throw it, stabbing it right into the monster's chest.

Immediately after Vergil came his twin brother in red. He pointed Ivory at Yamato, shooting three bullets at it's hilt to push the blade in further before finally into the demon entirely.
If you can't hurt the outside..." he began, landing beside Vergil on the ground. "You gotta take it out from the inside."

Vergil widened his eyes as he began to realize Dante's plan.

"Time to wake up, kid! You're missing out on all the fun!" Dante shouted, holding his arms out.
After several seconds of no response, he spoke once more. "Nero! It's up to you from here, kid! Me and your old man will keep them busy out here while you destroy it from the inside!"
Letting out a small sigh, Dante gripped the Force Edge.
"Just like old times." he commented as he smiled slightly, staring up to Argosax.

Vergil gave a small smile as well, though his quickly faded before the two prepared to fight once more.

Slashes began to come through the inside of Argosax, almost as though it was beginning to be torn apart from the inside out.
Countless slashes began to form before a blue light began to escape each are a cut was made.

Dante and Vergil stopped moving and simply watched the display before at long last Argosax exploded from the inside.

Nero hit the ground after the demon exploded, Yamato in hand as a blue glow came off of him, a red glow from his eyes.
His demonic hand hit the ground along with his knees before he began to stand up.

Dante widened his eyes, but a grin began to form before he laughed. "Hahah! I knew you could do it, kid!"

Vergil looked to his son, no words escaping him. He began to walk towards Nero slowly.

The son of Vergil let out several deep breaths as the blue glow faded, his red eyes shifting back to blue before closing. He fell backwards, passing out as he dropped the Yamato.

Vergil rushed over to the young man, though his eyes look up after kneeling down, spotting someone the size of a man beginning to rise up from the rubble of the fallen base that had crumbled after the explosion.
His eyes narrow as he realized who it was, his hand grabbing the Yamato that laid on the ground before he raced over to the demon.

It was Argosax. He was weakened, but far from dead. He was now only the size of a human, though he looked the same as he did when he was large.

Dante rushed forward, getting down on his knees before shaking Nero. After getting no reaction, he looked to ensure his nephew was still breathing, which he very much was.
"C'mon kid... Now's not the time for a nap." he commented before looking back to Vergil, seeing his brother begin to fight with Argosax.

Vergil punched Argosax with the gauntlets of Beowulf, sending him stumbling backwards.

The demon stumbled a great deal before falling backwards, back into the gateway to hell it came from.

The twin in blue grit his teeth, his eyes narrowing before he jumped in afterwards, following Argosax on the way down to the demon world.

Dante took his hands off Nero before rushing over to Vergil and Argosax, wanting to join hs brother and destroy the devil.

Vergil would not allow this.
He unsheathed the Yamato and swung it, forcing the gateway to hell to seal, and sending a small blue light where the opening once was.

"Damn it, Vergil!" the devil hunter comments, becoming frustrated.

The fight was now between Vergil and Argosax only, which was what the twin in blue desired.


(I need to stop making these month long breaks a habit. Especially when a cliffhanger happens like last time.

Anyrate, Chapter 10 is finally here. Sorry it took so long once again.)
