Hi everyone! Thanks a lot for the review and follows. My friend says that my chapters are far too long so I'm going to shorten them from now on. Anyway let me know what you think.
"When I kill you….I'll be sure to do it slowly and savor the moment." vowed Vergil as he narrowly avoided two children while they ran around the stalls. It was the first day of Rockwell carnival and the air was filled with excitement. The area was jam packed with families and couples while the rides were in constant motion. The crowd was lively and everyone was enjoying themselves…save for a certain half demon who wanted nothing more than to kill his companion and bury her body in the woods so she can never make him do something as stupid as going to a carnival.
"Oh lighten up…you really need to get out more and since Antonio is busy…. And I'm your only other friend; i have taken it upon myself to show you the good things in life." claimed Luna as she twirled her cotton candy and adjusted her hand bag. The duo were dressed casually to escape unwanted attention. Luna was wearing a long sky blue tank top over a white knee length capri and plain white sneakers while Vergil, upon Luna's constant nagging, wore a white sleeveless hoodie over a black shirt and dark blue jeans. Luna was slightly disappointed with his choice but did not argue when Vergil told her to take what she could get.
"So why don't we have a competition?" asked Luna as she successfully gained Vergil's attention.
"What do you have in mind?"
"There are loads of games here so we can try to win a few prizes."
"I suppose that since I have nothing better to do…..i can enjoy crushing you in these mere childish games."
"okay then lets head over to the northern side…the map says that the area is filled with exciting games and for the record, I am going to wipe the floor with you cause I absolutely adore games." said Luna showing her excitement while she took a closer look at the map.
"You do realize that not only I am more powerful then you in every physical aspect, but also that if you were to lose after these words…it would be a very embarrassing situation for you"
"Oh we'll see but for now let's enjoy ourselves alright."
"I can't thank you guys enough for bringing me here!" chimed Patty as she looked towards her temporary guardians. Lady and Kyrie smiled warmly at the young girl while Nero simply huffed and turned away. Lady was dressed in her normal attire…minus the heavy ammunition while Nero and Kyrie were dressed casually.
"Well here are your orders." Announced Trish as she placed a tray filled with different cups of ice-cream.
"I really wish that Dante was here with us…..He would love a strawberry sundae." Despite being surrounded by so many people, it was clear that Patty saw the devil hunter as a fatherly figure.
"Yeah it's kind of weird for Dante to miss out on this." claimed Nero as he gave Trish a questioning look. Trish knew that Dante was searching for his twin. Dante had become restless and harbored guilt for failing to help his brother escape mundus. Now that there was a chance that Vergil was alive, Dante had started questioning different gang leaders for whereabouts of Gilver. Trish was the only one with whom Dante had shared this information as he wasn't absolutely sure whether his brother was truly alive…..or even himself for that matter.
"You know how things have started to become really hard for him now that he's hells most wanted." explained Trish as she fixed her black leather jacket.
"Well he's the one missing out on all the fun…..now let's go to the game stalls." suggested Patty as she led the way.
"How are you winning every single game?!" said Luna in an exhausted voice. Vergil had won every single game due to his in human speed and strength. What was worse was that Vergil has refused to take any of the prizes even for Luna.
Vergil smirked but then suddenly stopped in his footsteps as his senses picked up demonic energy. At first he thought that there was only one signature but it was immediately joined by another…. And this one was far more powerful. It was a very odd energy signature that was fairly similar to his own.
However, Vergil was sure that it wasn't Dante. He decided to investigate it later and continued to listen to his companion's pointless banter. Out of nowhere, the duo was soaked in water as some of it was displaced from a water slide above them. Luna found the situation funny and started to laugh while Vergil tried to control his temper and not annihilate everything within a 10 mile radius. It was then that he noticed a camera flash in their direction. Vergil had noticed the suspect taking pictures of them but dismissed it as paranoia, however this had gone on for far too long and in the next second….he was in front of a red head who was wearing a pathetic disguise. Vergil snatched the camera from the trembling figure and realized that the person had been taking pictures of him and Luna since their arrival to the carnival. He broke the camera with his bare hands in rage and was about to kill the person until he felt two tiny hands grab his leg. He looked down only to see a small blonde girl looking at him with a frown.
"You liar…..you said you had something important to do but here you are." accused the small girl as she tried to stop her tears. Vergil was about to shove the girl away until he saw Luna running towards him and the red head was nowhere to be found. Vergil saw one of the pictures lying on the ground so he picked it up and placed it in his pocket while Luna tried to catch her breath. She stood up and gave Vergil a strange look after which she caught him off guard when she ran her hand through Vergil's hair to fix return it to its usual messy fashion.
"Is this the girl you ditched us for…..why didn't you tell us you had a date?" asked he blonde little girl as she continued to hold Vergil's leg. Luna gently picked up the girl and held her in her arms.
"Hi there…. I'm Luna and I think you've mistaken my friend for someone else. What's your name?"
"Patty!" said the girl as she continued to shoot a questioning gaze at Vergil.
"I'm sorry but I'm kind of lost and I don't know where my friends are. They must be really worried about me."
"That's alright, we can help you find them." said Luna much to Vergil's annoyance. He was in no mood to baby sit but he knew that he could just leave Luna as it was a deal that he would spend the day with her. She continued to call him her friend and Vergil at first tried to correct her but gave up when she became adamant about him being her friend. She also held a major soft spot for animals and children but other than that, she preferred to mind her own business.
Lady, Nero, Kyrie and Trish were doing their best to find young Patty, who ran after someone without telling them after claiming that she had seen Dante. They were scattered as they searched different areas. It was then that Trish and Nero felt demonic energy nearby which was quite similar to Dante's but much colder and darker. Nero ignored it and decided to find patty before she got into trouble…..but Trish knew that energy belonged to Nero Angelo…..also known as Vergil Sparda. Without thinking she ran towards the source and saw Luna holding Patty. Whatever the circumstances…..Patty's safety came first so Trish ran towards the two blondes. Patty jumped out of Luna's arms and ran towards Trish who picked her up.
"Sorry for the trouble…. i hope she wasn't a problem." said Trish as she turned her attention to Luna.
"it's really no proble…What on earth!" yelled Luna as Trish jumped back to avoid Muramasa as it slashed the ground. Luna looked at Vergil as he adjusted his grip on Muramasa but was stopped when she grabbed his arm.
Vergil's POV:
What was going on? How is it that a demon who looks exactly like my mother appear out of nowhere. The moment I looked at her…..my head was filled with intense pain as images of her flashed through my mind…..except they seemed to be distorted but I could make out the prince of darkness and her. Without thinking I summoned Muramasa and attacked but she narrowly avoided me. I was about to attack again when the pestering blonde grabbed my arm. She opened he mouth but immediately closed it when she saw the look in my eyes. I ignored her and turned my attention towards the demon when I felt another demon join the battle. A young boy who looked similar to me stepped in front of my prey. Luna stepped beside me and took up her battle stance.
"This is my battle girl…step aside."
"That guys' pretty strong…..you can't take him on and the girl so just leave her to me, but first….will you tell me why we're fighting them?"
"The blonde she…looks exactly like my mother and my instincts are telling me that she is no friend of mine."
My head started hurting again and once more I saw a supposed memory. It was then I realized that she was made from my memories of mother by Mundus. I was once again filled with intense rage. Luna must have sensed my mood because she stepped closer to me and said,
"I know you really want to kill that woman but if you attack her…..I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hold off the other guy."
"We need her alive….for now, she knows something about my past, she was there when I was with Mundus."
"You do know we can just ask her right?"
"Silly girl…..that's not how it works, besides there's no fun in that."
Descriptive:
"Nero Angelo…..or should I call you Vergil?" asked Trish to catch Vergil and Luna's attention while patty fled towards safety. The duo eyed their targets as the tension in the air began to suffocate them. Vergil felt that the name Nero Angelo was somewhat familiar but he brushed it of for the time being.
"Is he Dante's messed up twin?" asked Nero as he took of his arm cast and revealed his demonic arm.
"yeah….Patty's gone to get Dante so we just have to hold them off till then…I have to say this is the last place I would have expected to find him." replied Trish as she eyed Luna who was standing quite close to the half demon which raised quite a few questions.
"Hey Gilver…..someone else is coming but she seems human…..I'll handle her so don't worry." announced Luna
"You do realize that she said my name which happens to be Vergil right?"
"I know butI you haven't exactly said that I can call you Vergil so I won't."
"As you wish…..now then let's begin."
