Chapter 3: Back in the game!

The atmosphere became tense as Vergil confirmed that the threat consisted of not only lesser demons...but of Reapers as well. Now that was strange...why would reapers work with demons to kill either Antonio or Vergil? Such an Alliance was rare but deadly.

"Antonio!...I hope your skills are polished...the attack consists of Reapers as well."

"Wow that sounds tough Vergil." yelled Antonio from the top of the stair case while holding Luna who was struggling to break free from his grip.

Vergil quirked a brow as he asked Antonio

And where do you think you're going...I do not have Yamato so it will be difficult to fight and save you at the same time...especially if you're upstairs hiding."

"Nah! I'm sure you got this I'm...uh...just going to protect Luna in my emergency vault."

"Is that your excuse? You are a coward Antonio, stand and fight like a true demon...just throw Luna on the demons as a distraction."

"Yeah and then get killed by her brother...I don't think so."

Luna who was silent throughout the conversation suddenly yelled

"I don't need anyone's protection...I can help Gilver if you wont Antonio."

"Yeah no...Vergil don't worry we will be fine just take care of those guys."

"Fine...I'll be with you shortly." said Vergil as he pulled out Muramasa from its sheath. Vergil terribly missed Yamato at this point but there was nothing he could do...for now.

Vergil looked ahead to see his opponents making their way to Antonio's mansion...it had been a while since Vergil had a good fight. Muramasa started glowing as it felt its wielders excitement. He concentrated on his senses as his killing intent rose. He frowned when he heard loud noises from upstairs. Vergil sighed and turned his attention towards the demons that now occupied the front yard. All the servants ran inside the mansion and began sealing the doors.

"That won't work...I suggest you move to the upstairs room where your master is ...it will be safe there." informed Vergil.

The servants nodded and hurried upstairs. Soon after...demons and reapers alike began swarming into the room as they circled Vergil who calmly surveyed the number of demons. It shouldn't be too difficult since most of them were lesser demons...the real problem were the reapers who wielded scythes that could cut demons easily. The entire scenario was moving in slow motion for Vergil as the demons tried to pounce on him with their weapons ready. They were only inches away when Vergil sliced through the ones in front of him as he adjusted the grip on Muramasa and whirled to slice the demons around him. Vergil smirked as more and more demons began to fall at his feet. Vergil concentrated his demonic energy and whirled Muramasa in the air and instead of slicing anything...Muramasa suddenly unleashed a storm of lightening upon its master's enemies. Vergil summoned his flying swords which took care of the enemies that were out of range he continued to run and slice anything that got in his way. The entire lounge was full of demon corpses and reeked of blood. Vergil's silver hair covered his eyes as he looked at the damage and felt satisfied until the entire mansion shook as an explosion was heard from upstairs. Vergil's eyes widened as her heard screams from upstairs along with gunfire and reaper roars. It was then Vergil realized that the demon attacks were to distract him...the real attack had just begun.

He swept back his hair and with one giant leap Vergil was on the top of the stair case. He rushed towards Antonio's room only to be stopped by two reapers. Suddenly Antonio flew out the room, across the stair case and fell in the lounge. He grunted as his back collided with the floor. Vergil casted a worried glance in Antonio's direction but he kept his concentration on the reapers before him. Vergil made quick work of them as he used his speed to dodge in coming attacks and then struck with Muramasa to decapitate them.

"You've really lost your touch Antonio." said Vergil after he landed next to Antonio. Antonio seemed to look green for some reason. Vergil saw the servants run downstairs as they made their way towards Antonio. It was then Vergil remembered the blonde girl.

"Where's the girl?" Vergil asked the butler.

"She's upstairs fighting the some reapers."

"Fighting reapers?!" Vergil thought as he quickly made his way to the room. He didn't really care what happened to her but she seemed important to Antonio and that was a good enough reason to save her. After all...Vergil wanted to know why their auras had connected like that. Vergil jumped into Antonio's room through a large whole in the wall. His eyes widened in disbelief as he saw white rays of light coming out of the blondes hands as she twirled and moved to manipulate the lights rays. The rays seemed to be powered by spiritual energy as they burned and sliced every reaper they touched. It seemed like she was dancing...her eyes were narrowed with concentration as she jumped to different parts of the room to avoid attacks and made sure they she could use every opening she got to attack...she certainly didn't need help. Although Luna was stubborn and naive...Vergil couldn't help but admire her beauty and strength. It was then that he noticed a reaper coming towards him and readied his weapon. Vergil noticed a green substance oozing from the scythe. A white light ray wrapped around the reaper and incinerated him.

"Gilver don't let that green liquid touch you. I think its poison...they used it on Antonio and he couldn't move after that." said Luna as she landed next to him. Vergil growled as he thought how cowardly the reapers were for using such a pathetic tactic. They were surrounded by reapers as they stood back to back.

"Can you pull your own weight girl?" asked Vergil as he tightened his grip around Muramasa.

"Don't worry about me...just be sure you don't drag me down." replied Luna in a confident tone.

Vergil smirked and said "you seem very confident...let's play a game then shall we. The person who kills the most reapers gets to make the looser do whatever he desires."

"You mean whatever she desires right?"

"Not likely but why not."

"I like games so you're on."

And with that the battle began with Vergil slicing as many demons as Muramasa allowed and Luna releasing domes of spiritual energy to kill her opponents but she was always careful not to let the barriers anywhere near Vergil. She was on his good side for now and she didn't want anything to ruin that. She was impressed by Vergil's abilities. He was quick and ruthless. He had a special style that was absolutely refined and swift. She could watch him fight all day but she knew better than that. She smiled to herself as she recalled the moment when he whispered her name. That was a memory that she would take with her to the grave.

Vergil knew he was wining...the blondes barriers were taking down a lot of reapers but Muramasa was able to match the speed of the fleeing demons. He noticed that the blonde was carefully not to let the barriers come near him. "Smart girl" Vergil thought ad he electrocuted another reaper before decapitating it. Vergil turned his attention towards the ground floor when he heard the servant's screams. Antonio was in danger. Vergil ran out of the room and jumped into the ground floor as Luna landed beside him. They both had felt the danger and were ready for battle. They were defeating demons and reapers easily until they noticed a demon carrying a large gourd on his back. It was glowing red and Luna and Vergil knew what it was. They exchanges looks of understanding and took action. Vergil ran towards Antonio and his servants as he opened a sort of portal in front of them. Luna decreased the intensity of her spiritual rays and used them to throw the demon on the approaching reapers and casted a barrier around herself. The demon exploded killing all of the reapers and its kin. The intensity of the explosion was so great that it also destroyed Luna's barrier as she was pushed back and practically flew out of the mansion. She was about to land on her back but instead she was caught by Vergil who quickly turned around while he held her tightly to shield her from the intensity of the flame and the incoming rubble...when the smoke cleared Vergil released Luna but not before she blushed at their close proximity. She thanked him politely with a big smile but Vergil made no indication that he heard her. His attention was focused on Antonio who was lying behind the still swirling portal as his servants tried to help him. Vergil placed Muramasa in its sheath as he and Luna stood next to Antonio who was sweating profusely.

"How bad is it?" Vergil asked Luna as she examined Antonio.

"It's not too bad...though I haven't seen this type of a poison but I'm pretty sure I can take care of it. It's stopping his wound from healing so I better take care of it here and now."

Her palms and eyes began to glow with a white colour as she roamed her palms over Antonio's chest. Slowly Antonio's colour began to return to its normal white and his breathing became more stable.

"There we go...now all he needs is rest. We should take him to the safe house." suggested Luna as she wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve. Two of the servants carried Antonio while Luna and Vergil led the way.

"So...you do know I won the game right." claimed Luna as she looked at the sky and the rising sun that signaled the start of a new day. Vergil turned towards her and smirked.

"Is that what you believe Luna..."

Luna's heart started beating faster as she heard Vergil say her name.

"Yeah well that last stunt we pulled helped me wipe out the entire army so yeah...I win. Said Luna as she smiled brightly and formed a victory sign with two fingers on her right hand.

Vergil was in a good mood and he wondered what she would ask him to do so he decided to humor her.

"Hmmm… very well. What would you have me do then?"

"Oh I won't tell you now...it's a surprise." Luna chimed.

"hmmm…." Vergil simply said as his gaze fell upon Muramasa and he once more wished he had Yamato...he simply felt incomplete without it. He was unaware however that Yamato had been glowing and releasing energy since its master arrived in the human world.

Dante was officially exhausted. It had been a few years since he killed Mundus. Ever since then...many of the powerful demons had come to challenge them in hopes of claiming that they had defeated the son of Sparda. Other than that many demons had started coming to the human world to escape the wars so Dante and his group had been really busy. In fact Nero and Lady were still out doing their jobs. Dante opened his desk to take out a can of bear when his eyes fell on a red amulet with a golden chain and a brown glove that had been slashed by Yamato a long time ago. His thoughts led him to the time when he and Vergil were actually brothers and their family was happy. "Those were the days…where does the time go?" thought Dante when suddenly Nero came barging in.

"Damn it kid….don't you ever knock or even know how to use the door handle." yelled Dante as he looked at Nero with his trademark smirk.

"What's wrong with it?" asked Nero as he pulled out Yamato from under his long maroon coat.

"Its been doing this since last night."

"Well?"asked Nero after a moment of silence.

"Beats me…. I think you broke it. But I'm sure it doesn't mean anything good" Replied Dante with narrowed eyes. "I think I should hold on to this….it might start acting out."

"What! No way! I got this. "Argued Nero

"Trust me kid….Yamato has these mood swings sometimes."

"Fine whatever as long as I get it back."

"You got it kid."

"Now what the hell does this mean? Verge if your alive, I really hope I get to see you….so I can kick your ass all the way to the good side…"thought Dante as he looked outside his window to see the rising sun.
