Part Two: Adventure

Blade Lord Chapter Two: The Devils Cry

The next installment of Blade Lord and the first newcomer's appearance! W00t!!!

Otacon's Stealth Camo is fixed, meaning he'll be using it a lot.

Now that I'm back on track, I should be able to wrap up Part Two fairly soon. I've done some modifications to the timeline and profiles which will be posted with the first installment of Part Three. It will explain the order of events in Devil May Cry and Fire Emblem. The profiles will have several corrections, as well as profiles for the newcomers.

This will be a short chapter, but it will be posted with two others at the same time, so don't despair.

See it, feel it, read it, review it. LETS ROCK!!


Temen-Ni-Gru Dark Pact Chamber

Lyn and Otacon were dumped out of the portal. Lyn landed on her feet this time, and wasn't injured. Otacon stumbled a bit but wasn't seriously injured. Lyn and Otacon looked around. They were on the roof of a very tall tower, and it was raining. Standing at the edge of the roof was a man wearing blue with silver hair. He turned around and noticed Lyn. "You showed up." He said.

Lyn looked at him. He was carrying a huge sword, not unlike the Sol Katti that Athos had given Lyn to fight a dragon, but it had no knuckle guard. It was too big to fit on his sash; he was carrying it in his hand. The man himself had an ominous presence, and by the look of his eyes and hair he was a demon. Lyn started talking. "Who are you?" She asked.

He talked, his voice cold as the rain. "My name is Vergil. I'm a simple warrior, and I was waiting for you, Lyn of the Sacaen plains."

Otacon could sense trouble. He turned his Stealth Camo on and wandered off to hiding. Lyn remained calm. "Why were you waiting?"

Vergil smiled. "I've been wishing to fight with you, Lyn. You've caught my interest. A human who moves faster than my brother is worth waiting for."

Lyn put her hand on her Mani Katti's scabbard. "So, you find a worthy opponent in me?"

Vergil put his thumb on the hilt of his blade. "You got that right." He muttered as he flicked it loose with his thumb. Lyn did the same with her sword. They slowly approached each other. Otacon stood on the walkway and watched. But he wouldn't be able to see most of it.

Lyn was the first to attack. She pulled her sword out of its scabbard and swung at Vergil. He parried and swung at Lyn, she dodged. "This may be fun." He muttered. They began swinging at each other as fast as they could, they were moving so fast that to them the rain was frozen in time. Lyn could tell by Vergil's swings that he was much stronger than she was, so she didn't let him catch her blade and get her into a contest of strength. Instead, she found and opening and slashed at Vergil's side. As she did, a huge splash of rain that was suspended in midair over them fell onto Vergil. He grabbed his wound and looked at his hand, seeing his blood. He laughed. "Now I'm motivated!"

Vergil and Lyn had no end in sight. They were evenly matched. Lyn was even faster than Vergil, but his strength was evening everything up. No one was weakening or wavering. Lyn then spotted another opening in Vergil's defenses. He was raising his sword for an overhead swing; Lyn darted forward and cut into his side again. He grunted in pain and paused, looking at Lyn. His blood was dripping down his side but he didn't seem finished. His eyes were shining. He laughed. "What's so funny?" Lyn asked.

"This is the first time this has happened. A human pushed me to the edge. I never thought it possible." He replied. He put his sword into its scabbard.

"What are you doing?"

"Giving it everything." Vergil replied menacingly. Suddenly he began to emit an aura that formed a blue dome around him, letting out several shockwaves. Lyn was almost blown away by it; Otacon fell over and hid behind a statue. Vergil began shouting over the roar of his aura. "YOU WILL NOT FORGET THIS DEVILS POWER!!" Lyn saw through his aura, she saw him transform. He was now a demon, a blue demon. His head was like a skull, his form was now emitting a strange glow, his eyes were red, and his voice seemed to echo as he spoke. "You are the worthiest of my opponents!" He pulled his sword out again; his demonic form was ready to face Lyn. They rushed again, Vergil was now matching Lyn and speed, and his strength was even greater. Lyn was struggling; he now had the upper hand. Lyn tried to defend herself, but Vergil eventually forced her into a vulnerable stance. He then cut, his sword cutting into Lyn's shoulder, but she was fast to pull away before he cut into a tendon. She was still bleeding though, it was a nasty wound. She grabbed her blade tighter; the chill of the rain was helping her ignore the pain and blood. Vergil was approaching again. Lyn couldn't let him get in another slice, she needed to stab him. She remembered fighting the Reed Brothers who used swords just like his; she killed the older brother by making his sword slide off hers, over her head, and then stabbing him. But Vergil was stronger. She would feel the pain and widen her wound, but she didn't care.

Vergil charged again, Lyn and him began exchanging blows. Lyn finally saw an opening. Vergil made a high slash, she ducked and made his blade slide off hers, it went over her head; her blade was pointed at Vergil. Before he could recover she thrust her sword forward, piercing through his demonic body. As she did, a force suddenly went through her blade into her. She felt fresh pain go through her body. She pulled her sword out of Vergil and staggered a little. She looked at her handiwork. Did she hit his stomach? She couldn't tell. Suddenly the strange aura Vergil was emitting began to flow into his wound. It was going back into his body; soon Vergil reverted back into his human form. He clutched his wound and looked at Lyn. He fell to his knee, he was bleeding a lot more then Lyn was. And that was saying a lot at the moment. He pulled a green star-shaped jewel out from his jacket and touched it to his wound; it seemed to go into his body. Suddenly his wounds were healed. He stood up and put his sword into its scabbard. Lyn did the same and staggered again. She didn't know what had hit her when she stabbed Vergil, but she was now in pain and exhausted. She then stumbled forward, losing her balance. Vergil caught her. The cold rain was pounding her body now, she went limp. Otacon turned off his Stealth Camo and ran towards Lyn. Vergil spotted him. "Don't worry, she'll live." He said. Vergil pulled off his large blue coat and wrapped it around Lyn. He smiled. "A human who defeated my full power. I truly have been away for far too long." Vergil pulled an amulet off of his neck. He held it close to Lyn, a bit of her blood dripped onto it. He then held it out to Otacon. "I'll open a portal; just let a drop of your blood hit the amulet."

Otacon was about to protest but decided that he was Lyn's best chance for survival. He bit his finger and let a few drops land on Vergil's amulet. Vergil pulled it close to his forehead; the amulet seemed to absorb the blood. He touched it to his forehead and closed his eyes. Soon a portal opened. As it did, he slicked his hair back and stood up, lifting up Lyn and his sword. Otacon didn't know what he was doing; he simply followed Vergil through the portal.
