I have some new..but not the good one, not at all. I'm going to quit..for how long, I don't know..but I have to do it to become "better" at writing and learn while I'm gone.
I know posting the last chapter is a bad idea but I want to at least see the ending for this one.
Spoiler!
Final chapter
Farewell Vergil
Maxine
We watch Forte, the king of monster on his knees and defeated, we look at each other with disbelief of the result. The monster lords behind us look happy with the outcome of this battle, and the other monsters happily dancing.
"Did we do it?" Jude ask, surprise.
"Yeah! We beat Forte." I happily announced.
"We did it!" Romana happily said.
Kuro sigh, "Finally, we beat the king." Kuro said, smiling.
"Congratulations everyone! I wish Hiro was here to see this, don't you think so honey?" Lyssyth happily smile, while wagging her tail.
"Yeah..where is he? I do remember telling me he was coming? Hmmm.." Setque said, thinking.
Setque, the 6th lord, Setque is a human ghost, with electricity coursing through out his body.
I look behind the Lord to see a particular one that is eager to meet Jude. Lulu, the 5th lord, A Lamia with a upper half of a human girl body. She has long red straight hair that reaches to her waist, fair skin with patches of lavender-blue scales on her arms and cheeks, her eyes are golden-yellow snake's eyes Lulu rush over to Jude to give him a hug, and congratulate him for his accomplishment.
"Great Job Jude! I love you!" Lulu happily said, while tightly hugging him.
"I know, I love you too but can you," Jude struggle to breath, "Let me have some air." Jude smile, regardless of the pain.
They're so happy together, and most people here are all ready a couple….I miss this wonderful feeling..
"Congratulations, you finally gain peace in the underground and I'm proud to see this day come true." Samoin bow.
Samoin, the 4th lord, he is a dog monster resembling a malamute with icy blue eyes in features. Though he stands on two legs and can wield a sword. He has a scar across his muzzle.
"Wow, I would never thought you were able to beat him, nice job." Sky smile, while giving us the thump up.
Sky, the 7th lord, A young Kitsune who has unkempt blonde hair and tired/bored red eyes most of the time, and the strongest of the lords.
We stood still as if time was frozen, and watch the exit to the underground right in front of us. Words can't described the long journey we went through to get here, and how many live we couldn't save.
Finally, now we mus-
"Hiro!"
I turn around to see Leviathan rushing over to an injure Hiro on the stairs, and he is a bleeding from his left arm.
Leviathan, the 3rd lord, Leviathan's armor is colored blue, symbolizing her alignment with water and ice. Her helmet frames her face in such a manner as to resemble hair, with the sides forming the 'fringe' and a seashell motif forming the 'bangs'.
We all rush to his aids to help him, and Leviathan is really worry about Hiro current state.
"What happen to you!? Who did this to you so I can do the same thing to them!" Leviathan angrily ask.
"Heheh..it was Vergil and," Hiro struggle a bit, "And he's coming up here any second now." Hiro said.
"Vergil.." I muttered.
So, you finally decided to show up after all…
Everyone look at me while I'm thinking on what do on this scenario, and I all ready decide on what to do.
"I have to fight him." I spoke.
"You can't, he's very strong compare to last time." Hiro answer.
"Even so, I.."
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Someone's footsteps echo through the stairs as they walk the stairs, and we all got back from the stairs to get some distance from him. Vergil came from the stairs, and look up to see us watching him. Vergil is still with his new attitude, emotionless and very calm, rarely showing any emotions.
"Oh, is you guys." Vergil spoke.
Everyone is glaring at him with hatred for killing the innocent and Vergil isn't effect by their glare.
"Vergil! Why do you left us!" I ask immediately.
"Why? Because everything we do is meaningless and our very existence is also meaningless." He answer.
What? Meaningless..is our love meaningless too then!
"Tell me everything I need to know so I can understand." I commanded.
"There is no answers to be found here, so just give up." Vergil said.
You don't know how much pain I had to go through to search for you..to love you after you abandoned me..
I step forward and walk a couple of steps closer to Vergil while clenching my fist to hold my tears.
"I will find my answer...by fighting you." I said, sadness still lingering.
"Let's begin then." Vergil answer.
Vergil extends both of his hand forward to use his soul to bring his weapon, and a white heart appear in his hand to transform into a gun and a combat blade. He made a half a circle slowly from left to right with his right hand holding the blade into his battle stance. I watch him from afar with a urge to hug him and forgetting this bad dream ever happen, but I knew it wasn't a dream. I closed my eyes to calm down, and extend my right hand to bring forth my weapon. A pale yellow appear before me, and turn into a gun similar to Vergil.
"I always keep this weapon close to my heart ever since you left us, and I will win this battle for your sake." I smile.
Vergil rush at me with no emotions and no intention of stopping his attacks. He began with a single slash which I dodge with ease, but he quickly change his tempo with a close-range gun fire.
Bang!
Bang!
I retaliate by shooting the bullets with my own, and we took some distance from each other. The true battle has begun and the one I was waiting for a very long time.
"The last time we fought it was with the four of you, but now you're fighting all alone, why do you think this change is going to make any difference?" Vergil ask emotionless.
"You're wrong Vergil, I'm not alone! I have friends that supports me, and a perfect reason I must win." I answer.
Everyone behind me smile at my response and glaring at Vergil for his evil deeds he had committed during this harsh journey.
"Reason you said?" He ask.
Vergil tilt his head to the right and not knowing the obvious answer for stopping him from doing anything bad.
"I must have you back no matter what, don't you think so too?" I answer truthfully, and extend both of my arm to him.
Why…why did you left us?..was it back then..
Past
Vergil was holding his Dual-wield handguns, and tapping his foot on the floor, inpatient for the result of our training. We are inside the 4th lord castle backyard, and Vergil demanded for me to accompany him on his training schedule.
"Maxine, you need to focus on your surroundings, and make a quick judgment to help you win any battle that come your way." Vergil instructed.
I am very exhausted from this harsh training, and improving my leadership skill is the main reason for the training, which I didn't fully understood why I need it. I stood in place with my legs shaking, and my vision going blurry from waking up early for the training.
"I..can't continue Vergil." I said struggling.
My legs gave up from lack of rest, and I was on the floor looking at the dark ceiling of the cave. The cold grass touching my back and the dirt being thrown on the air from my fall. I took some deep breath to catch some air and receive some oxygen to my body.
"Get up Maxine, you still need more training and resting won't do any good." Vergil sigh.
I felt so bad for being so weak at doing his training but I felt I could cry from this difficult ordeal and I am doing my best. I try to get up from the floor by pushing my body up with my arms but my trembling arms couldn't hold my weight, and I felt down on the floor once more.
"If I was gone from the team, you would take the role of the leader but you don't have what it take to take such role." Vergil said.
"But that would never happen in the first place," I sniff, holding back my tears, "You will always be by my side forever." I smile.
Vergil look very surprise with my response, and slowly smile at me but I felt sadness coming from that smile of his. He quickly turn around and walks away with me as if running away from something.
"Let's continue our training tomorrow." Vergil muttered as he left.
Present
Why do you train me? For stopping you? So many questions but no answers were found during this journey, but..
"I don't need nobody, I was born from nothing and I had nothing from the very beginning." Vergil answer.
Bang!
Vergil quickly pull the trigger without hesitation, and without any mercy from that single bullet fire. It hit me in my soul, and I slowly extend both of my arm again to me, callings to him once more.
"I will accept your pain, and emotions." I smile with pain.
Vergil look at me with those surprise eye just like I remember, but quickly got rid of them as he rush forward again without a plan in motion. He pull out his blade and thrust it forward to my soul, but I quickly evade by dodging to my right. I took this opportunity to counterattack by punching him in his stomach with a left hook, and with his speed added to the mix, it was a major hit.
Ugh!
Vergil in pain stop moving, and as I think for the next plan I hear his voice in my head teaching me again.
"Never stop attacking, keep moving forward!"
I grab his right arm and I turn my body to face away from him to pull him with all of my might. I slam him down to the floor creating a perfect arc, and preventing him from escaping me. Vergil quickly use his combat blade to cut loose but I shoot it with my gun, and the force of the bullet cause the blade to fly away from Vergil's hand. The combat blade spin wildly in the air, and finally stopping at the ground away from us with it's blade sticking on the ground. Vergil use his legs to push me away from him, and quickly gets up from the floor.
"Time to get serious then." Vergil muttered.
The lonely combat blade disappear from this world, and Vergil stick out his hand to summon another weapon to his disposal. A white heart appear again, and transform into a hand grenade.
Oh no…not that again..
"What about your plans on leaving this place? Why are you still following me?" He ask.
Vergil tossing the hand grenade up in the air multiple time with his right hand, and my eyes moving as the grenade move up and down.
"I..no.." I put my hand in my chest, "Everyone wants you to return back with us, and laugh just like the good old days, remember?" I calmly answer.
Vergil look down on the floor to think about my question, but shook his head of that idea and throw the grenade on the floor close to him. The grenade slowly roll on the ground before stopping in it's track, and I'm waiting for it to trigger.
"No, it was just another meaningless memory.." Vergil answer.
The grenade exploded with a very loud, very uncomfortable scream and a strong unbearable red light illuminates the entire room. I quickly cover my ears due to the loud scream, and I couldn't focus very well, also I kept my eyes close from the strong light but open them once in a while.
Just as I remember, this annoying weapon of his..
I try to open my eyes to look around for Vergil but my eyes quickly reject that idea, and my ears weren't helping at all. Suddenly, the screaming and red light stop, I quickly open my eyes trying to find him but couldn't. I felt someone behind me so I turn around to see Vergil in the air, and about to kick me in the head with his right leg.
I don't have enough time to block his attack with both of my arms!
My single hand couldn't hold Vergil's force, easily hit me and sending me flying through the air. I try to regain my composure by quickly grabbing the floor and putting both of my legs to stop myself from being push by his force. Slowly my body stop moving, and I'm on my knees in the floor about to cry.
My head hurt from his attack, but my heart hurt way more knowing that my Vergil is doing this to me.. I can't handle this anymore..
"Stop hitting Maxine you big bully!" Lulu spoke.
Suddenly, Lulu, one of the monster lord spoke without fear, soon everyone join in the wave of determination to cheer me on.
"Yeah! You said sweetie! Maxine is going to kick your butt!" Jude added, smiling.
"Maxine! Go beat him into a pulp for me!" Romana angrily said, holding her hand up.
"We're here with you 100% percent, don't give up!" Kuro with confidence remind me.
"Venus would of being truly happy to see her pupil fighting hard and…and I'm also very proud of you!" Hiro scream, crying for her sister.
"Don't give up Maxine! Keep on fighting and win this battle!" Lyssyth cheer for me.
"Get up Maxine! Don't let this chump get to you! You're a strong human with great determination, so show him that determination!" Leviathan commanded.
"Show him what a human with determination can really do." Samoin said, while clenching his fist.
"Vergil's crime must deserved a punishment and you're the only capable of doing it." Setque said, glaring at Vergil.
"We know how's going to win, right? Why don't you save us the trouble, Vergil." Sky yawn.
"Go children of tomorrow, save humanity and monster from my mistake.." Forte said with pain.
Vergil, emotionless looks around the people behind me cheering for my victory, and determine to back me up with their all.
"Meaningless, everything you do is absolutely meaningless." Vergil spoke.
My friends…I have to stand up and fight!
I stood up from the ground to face Vergil once more, and I look down as I stand up.
"Hm? You aren't good enough to make me see reason, it's meaningless after all" Vergil explain.
I rush at him with everything, and he aim his gun at my soul to hit me but miss me completely by easily dodging the bullet. I crouch down to lift my entire body with my fist to raise it to the air, and hitting Vergil in his jaw. Vergil recover from the attack but he is bleeding from his mouth while he's crouching down.
"Am I good enough now! This time, I will win this battle and take you back with force if necessary!" I scream in anger.
Vergil use his hand to remove the blood from his mouth, and stood up to continue our fight.
"You seem determine, let's see who will win, determination or nothingness." Vergil said.
Vergil grab his grenade tightly, and stretch his arm behind him to throw the grenade toward me. The grenade detonate with the same loud and unbearable light, but I'm confidence I will win this time.
You know, I'm glad I meet you that first day..meeting you that day made me the person who is standing with you today.
I try my best to look around, and I see for a second a glimpse of a shadow moving to my left so I rush to my left blindly. I tackle something, and I slowly open my eyes to see Vergil on the ground. I took this opportunity to aim my gun at his soul to pull my trigger, but he avoid it at close range. Vergil retaliate by shooting back, and I dodge his bullet as well. We try our best to hit our bullet against each other, suddenly Vergil became slow from his evasion. He grab his stomach, and trying to keep going.
The damage I did earlier on his stomach is showing!
I quickly back flip in the air to aim my gun at him and shoot him multiple time. Vergil slowly get up from the ground while grabbing his stomach, and breathing heavily.
Almost there! I can feel it!
"Let's end this." Vergil announced.
Vergil stands still on that spot and made his weapons disappear, but a white soul appear from thin air behind him. The white soul swallow Vergil, and I watch as the soul beat like a human's heart, anticipating on the next move.
"Soul Link." Vergil muttered.
He came out of the white heart to reveal a different appearance, but I couldn't tell from this distance. I could tell really quick how strong he is due to the powerful aura coming from him, and the air around him feel like it could crush me.
"Soul Arm."
He extends his left arm to the left to summon a weapon, but somehow, he made it appear without a soul weapon requirement. A black long scabbard appear from a white flame, and with a katana's hilt color white.
"Infinitum." Vergil said.
Another weapon? But how, I thought there was a limit of Soul weapon..
"Maxine run! He has my sister's ability, and her katana, infinitum!" Hiro yelled out.
He can use soul link like Venus?..but how?
Tap! Tap!
Vergil's steps echo through the cavern as he got closer to me, but as soon as I blink, he quickly disappear from my view completely. I move my eyes left to right looking for him, and I felt really tense after seen this new appearance of his.
"Where are you looking?"
My body froze after hearing that familiar voice coming from behind me, and I slowly turn around to see him with his new transformation. Two black horn similar to Venus without the ring is on top of his head pointing up, and a black tear trail in both of his eyes. His eyes are the same color as Venus as well, red and I couldn't handle this sheer pressure coming from Vergil. Suddenly without warning, I felt pain coming from my soul and I look below me to see a black katana with star, like space itself piercing through my body.
When did he do this?..I..couldn't respond quick..enough.
I started to feel very drowsy, and my body slowly fall back to the ground but Vergil grab my front collar with two of his finger.
"Now you understand, determination is useless against the nothingness," Vergil pull the sword further in, "and everything you did before this point was meaningless. Now, disappear just like the rest of them." Vergil explain.
Vergil quickly pull the katana from my body, and I start to fall down to the floor with a pool of blood running through the dirt. I stare at Vergil with a daze face, and he left me to go after the other while putting the sword back to the scabbard.
"You Bastard!" Jude, angrily scream out.
Jude didn't hesitate to join the fight, and rush forward to battle Vergil without the fear of fighting this new power of his. Jude threw a punch to his face, but Vergil disappear from that position to reappear behind him and standing back to back. Vergil use the end of the scabbard to hit Jude on his back, and Jude land on his knees from that blow.
Ugh!
"Leave him alone!" Lulu hiss.
"Time for your punishment monster!" Setque grin.
"What bothersome.." Sky muttered.
All of the three lord try to stop Vergil from hurting Jude, and bring their weapon out to attack him. Vergil's image blur as he move forward at inhuman speed, and his hand movement flicker as the black slash is covering his entire body. Everyone, but Sky are hit by the barrage of slices going back and forth with undodgeable attack.
Click!
Vergil put his sword back to the scabbard while Sky is traveling around using his dimensions.
"Wow, that was close." Sky said.
Sky appear next to Vergil but his image is blurry as he is in his own dimension, and nothing can touch him there. Vergil use his hand to hit him, but fail as his hand pass through him like a ghost.
"Nothing can't hurt me here, so let's end this quick should we?" Sky smile.
Vergil quickly pull out his infinitum to slash him, and surprisingly, it work on Sky. Sky is confuse by the results of his attack, and Vergil didn't waste a second to continue with a flutter of slashes but Hiro quickly intervene.
"Sky, The infinitum can cut through anything," Hiro sigh, "Even time and space." Hiro said.
I look at my friends injure on the ground due to my weakness, and I start to become angry.
"Soul Link is a secret and nobody ever had this skill unless you were born with it."
"Soul Link is a technique that can lead you transform into the person you admire, respect, love, and have any strong feelings for them. It can be a lover, friends, or a stranger whether be a boy or girl it can be done.
My friends..they're dying..I..I! I won't let that happens!
Suddenly, someone cover my entire body and I begin floating in the air. I could hear my heart beat, and my soul resonate together until I feel a rush of power. I burst out from this imprisonment to look ahead up head with determination. My hair got loose from my ponytail and my hair is dancing around on the air to reveal it's color was change to black. I felt horn on top of my head, and I can see my world around more clearly now like I can make so many plan to win.
"Soul Link." I said, while extending my right hand toward Vergil.
"Maxine take this to battle Vergil!" Hiro spoke.
Hiro throw his sword toward me, and I catch it to use it in battle. The sword quickly change into a glowing white blade, red jewel in the middle of it's hilt, and the hilt is golden. I raise my sword in the air raise the tension in the air, and slice the air as I put the sword down aiming at Vergil creating a powerful wave. Vergil is hit by my attack and he's caught of guard by my power.
"Excalibur!" I roar.
Vergil look at me from afar amaze and confuse by my power being displayed right in front of him. I move my hair to my left side to let it flow in the wind.
"Are you amazed by my power or my beauty, Vergil?" I tease him.
"Although, you it will change your personality when you do so.."
Vergil is silence but slowly try to reach his katana and when he grab it, he immediately teleport in front of me. Our sword clash for the first time, and we see each other very closely.
"Now we are in equal footing." I happily said.
"Hmph." Vergil scoff.
We quickly change the tempo with a inhuman speed sword clash, and it seem to be going nowhere. Boulders suddenly fall from the ceiling and into the barrage of sword swing, but it quickly turn into dust in a blink of an eye. Vergil took quite a distance from me by teleporting, and I carefully watch him. Vergil took a deep breath, and release it with a long sigh as he put his scabbard on the floor while putting both of his hand on it's hilt.
"Judgement Day." Vergil spoke.
Judgement day?
I look down to see strange symbol appearing below me, and soon after I was hit by a strong magical black sword coming from nowhere.
Where did it come from?..
Another strange symbol appear below me again, and this time I try to keep away from this symbol. The black sword landed on the symbol, and I knew what I must do.
Let's begin! I'm ready for anything now.
I slash the air to send a powerful wave toward Vergil, but he block it with the black sword appearing in front of him. I rush forward with confidence, and the strange symbol appear all around trying to hit me. I carefully dodge this strange move, and getting closer to Vergil.
"This is the end!" I said.
My sword began to glow as I get closer to Vergil by the second, and my sword pierce through the air to get to Vergil. My sword hit the giant black sword blocking the attack, and I push with everything to pass through.
Aaaaaahhhh! Break through!
I roar as my sword made a crack to the sword and soon, it pass through to get to Vergil. Vergil couldn't move from that position and got hit by my sword, and quickly disappear from that spot to reappear farther away from me. Vergil is getting weaker every time Excalibur touch his body, and he's panting from the damage.
"Time to end this, once and for all." Vergil said with confidence.
Vergil's pressure has risen to dangerous level, and slowly grab the katana with his right hand while glowing white. I could feel a powerful move coming, and I brace myself for his next move.
"Fall into nothingness." Vergil muttered
As soon as he finish his last word, he quickly disappear from view but strangely I could see many Vergil moving in all directions. I quickly notice that I couldn't move my body, and he has return to the same position while spinning his katana to swipe it down. He close his eyes as he slowly put the katana back to it's scabbard with a "click" to quickly reveal the many slashes he made, and my soul is cracking from the many slashes made by his attack. I fell down on the floor with my knees then I feel down completely and looking up at the ceiling knowing I won't survive this.
My soul has broken..
Vergil return to his normal appearance, and the katana is also gone from his hand. He didn't bother looking at me since he is confidences on his success, and walk away from the battle.
"I'm..still alive." I spoke with confidence.
But It refuse.
I stood up again to battle Vergil but he look very surprise to see me alive.
"How? Why don't you disappear into the nothingness like the others?" Vergil ask.
Vergil extend his right arm from left to right pushing the air away to quickly use soul link to transform, but it fade away instantly. Vergil is on his knees for using that power too much, and it look like this match is set.
"It's over!" I announced.
Vergil transform once again to extend both of his arm to the left and to the right respectively.
"Come, the begging and the end." Vergil said.
Two rainbow orb appear from both of his hand, and he smash them together by uniting his hand. He rush forward with his right hand extend to the right carrying the orb on his hand, and I stand still for him.
It was a good battle, now come back to your senses Vergil!
I rush forward to raise my sword once again to finish this battle with this attack. I slide my sword on the ground as I ran toward Vergil, and my sword is craving for the end. Vergil try to hit me with the orb, but he became sluggish from using Soul Link too much and I quickly slash him in his stomach. Vergil stop moving while carrying the orb that glow, and it is about to detonate.
"Hmph, even my very existence is meaningless." Vergil said.
A big explosion has shown in the room, and pushing powerful winds causing some problems to the wall around us. The whole cavern began collapsing with the sound of rock falling from the ceiling, and the floor below everyone. I am still very exhausted from this battle, I lost my transformation, and Vergil is on the floor unconscious. A dark menacing aura came from Vergil's soul, and screech as he disappear from this place.
Huh ? What's that?
"Everyone! Hurry to the exit!" Hiro scream, pointing on the exit.
Everyone hurry to the exit to escape the rubble collapsing from above, but I didn't want to leave just yet. I notice that the floor below Vergil is slowly breaking apart and I hurry to grab him. I have enough time to grab his hand, but his body was still hanging from a bottomless hole.
"Ahhh, wake up Vergil!" I said with pain.
Miraculously, Vergil open his eyes to see me grabbing his arm and look around to notice the state he is in.
"Maxine.." Vergil muttered.
"Vergil! Grab me and let's escape together!" I said.
Vergil shook his head to my request, and look up to smile at me.
"You did great..I'm so proud of you." Vergil said, smiling.
"W-what!?" I said confused, tear coming down from my cheeks.
"You have to let me go, and escape from this." Vergil look down.
The sound of rock falling from the ceiling, and the floor cracking is getting louder all around me.
"I won't! I came so far to get you, a-and you telling me to leave you behind!? I won't let you go ever again, you hear me!?" I scream, my tears flowing.
We stay silence for a couple of seconds, and I'm very afraid of losing him from this catastrophic.
"All right, I'm going to swing my body to give you my other arm, can you endure such endeavor?" Vergil ask, smiling.
"Of course! Let's go home together!" I smile.
Vergil began swinging his body left to right, and increasing his range as he swing around.
"Now!" Vergil commanded.
Finally..after a very long time i..
I grab Vergil's arm with everything I got, but Vergil slowly fall down the hole. I look at Vergil's image slowly disappearing, and getting smaller and smaller as he fall down. I look at what I grab to notice his jacket is what I grab of hold.
"Hehehe.." I laugh.
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
The tears won't stop, why Vergill? We could of all survive together.
Ignoring the rubble falling from the sky, I hug Vergil's jacket tightly, and I want to chase after him so badly. I stand up from the ground, and I look down the hole with tempting eyes.
If I go…would I go where you are too?..
I slowly took a step forward to fall down, but somebody grab my arm to pull me away from the hole.
"Let's go Maxine, we don't have time to wander aroq70und." Hiro spoke.
Hiro grab my body, and carry me on his shoulder while running from this place. I watch as the place is being cover by falling rock, and I scream for Hiro to let me go.
"No! I want to stay there! Please, let me go! Please!" I cry out.
We left..
5 month later
I open my eyes and drink some water to relax myself from the stress of work but I enjoy every bit of it since it's for a good cause. I look at my surrounding to see a big office with two couches on the middle, and two double door in the end of the room. A brown table is being occupied by me, and to my right it a coat hanger with a very special jacket hanging in it, I scratch my eyes with my hand to wake up. I took a pen from my table cabinet, and my personal journey to begin writing almost by instinct.
It has been 5 month since we all left the underground, and I try my best to unite both human and monster to coexist with one another. I was elected by every lord, and dear friend to be the leader of this organization..would Vergil & Venus be proud of me even more? I wonder..
I sigh with sadness for those two great people to disappear so quickly, and I always wonder if they were around, would those two made this world a better place. I shook this dream off of my head, and continue writing on my journey with some regret.
Jude and Lulu spend their time together to build a hospital for animals, and especially for monster from the underground. They look happy together, and they would make a great family someday.
I begin tapping on the desk with my finger, and began thinking of stuff I need to do after I'm done writing.
Hiro and Leviathan spend their time together in a peaceful house, they're my personal bodyguard. They seem very excited for the position, but Hiro spend most of his time watching anime he hasn't seen before, and Leviathan always try to not spoil him too much.
I giggles as I remember those two bickering for the new anime coming out soon, and Hiro try to calmly explain it all. I stop laughing after I remember something very important.
Hiro and I made a gravestone for Venus and Vergil, both of those gravestone are next to each other. Hiro didn't like the idea, but he say that's what her sister would of wanted. We…I always put flower on his gravestone, and cry every time I visit there..
I look at the clock on my room to notice that it is almost time for me to leave for my appointment.
Lyssyth and Setque are a difficult couple due to Setque hatred for human, but Lyssyth is always showing him the positives a human possess . Slowly, day by day he is growing accustom to our way of life and someday it will heal his past.
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!
I hear footsteps coming closer to the door, and I start to write a bit faster to end this journal.
Samoin, Sky, and Forte are wondering around the world looking for purposes and observing the human from afar. I received a postcard from each one of them said that I shouldn't worry about them, but I still feel worry about their well being.
Click!
I hear the door opening and I look up to see my friends smiling at me.
"You're going to be late Ms. President." Jude smile.
"Come on! We need to hurry Maxine!" Romana happily said.
"Yeah, we don't want our leader to be late for her appointment, don't we know." Kuro smile.
"All right, I understand but can you give me a minute to prepare myself before I go?" I ask.
They look at each other and nod to me signaling that it is okay to stay a bit more. They left the room, leaving me still writing my journey but it was all ready done. I got up from my chair and begin stretching to relax a bit more, I stare at the two couch at the middle of the room with a daze. Two familiar image appear in the couch next to each other, and they seem to get along very well.
"Vergil! Are you forgetting something?" Venus smile.
"If you stop pestering about it and tell me I would." Vergil sigh.
"Maxine, don't you like her?" Venus ask, seriously.
"Of course, why ask that now?" Vergil wonder.
"It's nothing, hehe." Venus giggle.
I look down to not see this sad scene bestowing upon me, and I bite my lip trying to hold my tears for them. I took a deep breath to relax, and exhale all of that air. I look up to see them looking at me with a warm smile at their faces.
"Cry, it is okay to cry." Venus recommend me.
"Crying won't make you weak…not anymore." Vergil smile.
Their voice echo through the room as they left this world one last time, and I felt cold water running through my cheeks. I touch the water with my left hand to realize I am crying and I didn't do it on purpose. I release everything I had within myself, and I felt better from doing so.
Is so unfair…why do you leave me?...
I quickly grab Vergil's jacket from the coat hanger, and put it on. I open the double door with determination, and confidence as I move forward with my favorite coat behind me.
Watch me you two! I will make this place a better place, so watch me from up there and guide me.
The end
Epilogue
?
I slowly open my eyes to be greeted by the strong sunlight above me, and I quickly realize that the light is coming from a hole above. I move my hand on the ground to feel flower below my body, and they seem to be a bed of golden flowers.
This scenery remind me of my first day on the underground, and meeting..
"Hey"
I look forward to see a dark hallway where the voice came from, and I can barely see someone silhouette in the shadow. A girl slowly step forth from the shadow with a bright smile showing on her face.
"Hello, my name is Frisk, what's your?"
…
"Vergil.."

Vergil
I'm looking at the ceiling of my office, and thinking on what to do on this organization my friends appoint me. I sight as I rock my chair back and forth not knowing what to do exactly.
Two years of working on uniting monster and human is finally blooming, no longer they must suffer and hide from us.
Click!
Someone open the double door from my office, and it is my best friends coming to meet me for an unknown purpose.
Strange, they haven't told me they will be visiting me today.
"Vergil, you look terrible, are you okay?" Jude ask, worrying.
I am?
I look at the mirror to see my tired face from working hard but it shouldn't be a bother and yet something is effecting me.
"Oh! I know what being bothering you." Romana smile.
"What is it? Speak." I commanded.
Romana sight, "Still the same Vergil, anyway you haven't visiting Maxine on the hospital, correct?" Romana ask.
"No, I didn't have the ti-"
"Stupid! Your wife is far more important than some work, and-"
"Romana calm down." Kuro immediately stop Romana's anger, "Vergil is working hard to unite monster and human, but I have to agree with Romana on this one." Kuro explain.
"…" I sigh.
Maybe I should be a proper husband and visit her..
"Here you go buddy!" Jude happily said.
Jude gave me a bouquet of rose, and chocolate for some strange reason. I look at this gift given by my friend, and I'm rather confused on the purpose of this items.
"Why do I need this for?" I ask.
"Romana said to buy this for you so you can give them to Maxine." Jude happily explain.
"Why you waiting for go! Go! Go!" Romana angrily spoke.
Romana began pushing from behind to the exit, and I have to oblige to her advice for now. I quickly headed out to the hospital to meet with Maxine and bring this gift to her.
Hospital
I stood still in front of Maxine's door, and I could hear mumbling coming from the other side. My hand are starting to sweat because I'm so nervous to enter this room.
Why am I so nervous? This is nothing compare to the battle I fought in the underground, but..
I took my time to calm down by taking some deep breath, and open the door to hear a baby crying.
"Vergil, you wake up the baby?" Maxine smile.
I see Maxine in bed carrying our baby on her arm so happy and I couldn't hide my smile from those two.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know she was asleep." I answer.
"It's all rights, and are those gift for me?" Maxine happily ask.
"Oh yeah, this are for you" I said.
"Did our friend bought them for you?" Maxine ask.
She's good at guessing..is this what you called a "woman instinct."
I sigh, "Yeah, they went the trouble to buy me this gift for you." I answer.
"That's very kind of them, and thank you for the gift Vergil, you make me very happy!" Maxine said with joy.
I came closer to her to be by her side, and sitting right next to her. Our baby is still awake, and looking at me with a warmth smile. I put her gift in the small table on her right.
"Vergil, why name should we name our baby girl? Maxine ask.
I look up to think about a good name for our child, and I began to feel sad when the name suddenly came up in my thoughts.
"How about..," I stop for a moment, "How about Venus." I said with a small sad smile.
"Vergil.." Maxine said, worrying.
I look down in shame, and gripping both of my hand to hold my hatred to myself, but I felt a soft hand reassuring me. I look up to see Maxine smiling at me, and I felt better knowing I am not alone this time.
"Venus it is." Maxine spoke.
"Really?" I ask, surprise.
"Yeah, I'm sure she will be so glad to be name after the strong lord, isn't that correct little Venus." Maxine hug Venus.
Our child laugh happily after her real name has being reveal to her, and I smile with the beautiful scenery lay before me.
"I will protect you two." I said with confidence.
"Yeah, me too Vergil..please don't ever leave me." Maxine muttered.
"I won't ever leave you." I reassure her.
We kiss, and I hug her tightly to keep her and our baby safe from harm.
