Author's Note: Ok, this is chapter 3. This can be considered as short if you want to, but this is an introduction to DmC Vergil. He is not like the Classic Vergil, but he has more brains yet cold and manipulated. In the DLC Vergil's Downfall, he was crushed both on the outside and the inside after his encounter with Dante. For those who play it, it can be interpreted that either the place he went (just like I've said in the last chapter) is either 1.) hell or in 2.) Vergil's mind. As I play the game, it seems that I really love the story in it because it gives more closure on how he became evil compared to the original games. That's because (SPOILERS!) - In order to become more powerful, Vergil needs to cut ties completely to the people who are close to him. Just as if Classic Vergil became evil through being brainwashed by Mundus and become Nelo Angelo, DmC Vergil became evil by choice. From a misguided jackass to a demented monster-in-training. I'm glad that I've played that DLC.
As I said earlier, this is my introduction to DmC Vergil. Ladies and gents, here's chapter 3
I don't own Fairy Tail and DmC since it was the property of its respective owners.
Chapter 3: Downfall
He continued to walk forward. A white haired man who in the verge of pain. He holds an unsheathed samurai sword and wears a dark coat with a long tail on the right side, and a collar with a larger left side. There is a blue band on the left bicep of the coat, which also has blue, ornate scrollwork sewn into the left side of the upper back, and a blue lining. His hands are covered by light blue gloves, and he wears blue dress slacks, with black leather shoes. But his clothing that speaks of elegance is now in tatters. He is bruised, beaten, defeated. And the only emotions that he had are sorrow, despair, regret.
The man's name is Vergil. He had a human appearance. But above all, he is a supernatural being. A hybrid of an angel and a demon, he was a powerful Nephilim and one of the twin sons of a powerful demon known as Sparda and the beautiful angel Eva. He has a twin named Dante. Even though they have the same face, their hair colors were different; white and black. And above that, they have amulets but in different, his were blue and the other was red. They were such a happy family back then. But everything has changed when the demon king Mundus attacked their mansion. Mundus killed Eva and the brothers have gone into separate ways, erasing their memories but unfortunately, Sparda was captured and imprisoned into eternal torment. Vergil went into a prominent family and raised hem very well, but his twin brother met a worse fate: he was sent into an orphanage named St. Lamia's Orphanage that was run by demons and because of that; it started the life of Dante: a living hell.
Vergil is most fortunate. Not only he lives with a rich family, but also learned much aside from being an expert swordsman: he's a man of great intellect, got an education and made a security encryption program; for instance, he's a hacker. With that, he became an independent, wealthy, multimillionaire. During that time, he discovered about his past and decided to take down Mundus. To this end, he founded an organization called The Order and began working to reveal the truth of the world to the people of Limbo City, as well as to undermine Mundus's own organization. Despite Vergil wearing a mask in all of The Order's videos, Mundus has pictures of Vergil's face and is aware he is part of The Order. However, he remains unaware that Vergil is a Nephilim.
While he keeps on walking, many things are comic back to him. Memories. That time, he found the human psychic Kat. He revealed everything to her and thankfully, she trusted him. And they are working together for one goal: to find his brother Dante and to free mankind from Mundus's tyranny. But something is ringing to his thoughts...
"If you use your Devil Trigger too often, you might lose yourself completely..."
She is right. He remembered when he uses that ability. He's indeed powerful, but he is losing himself if not controlled.
"Dante, it really is you?"
"My name is Vergil, your twin brother."
Yes, a reunion of the brothers. They never seen each other for a long time, but he was happy to see Dante after all these years. He knew that his brother is living a hard life... but hellish. Demons came to kill him, but he doesn't give a damn. Dante is a punk who never cares for everyone, but he's a born fighter. Until Vergil and Kat came to his life. Now Dante has a purpose because of them.
"With the two of us working together, I believe that we can defeat them."
"So what's this is about. You need me to fight the demons, helping you save the world."
"What else on planning to do with your life?"
Dante is really stubborn at first, he knew that. But when he told him about his past, from Dante's visit to their former home until their conversation, things have changed for his brother.
"Some things have always been. There have always been angels, there have always been demons, and there have always been a war."
"So we are the offspring of angels and demons?"
"Demon father, angel mother. We are Nephilm. And those beings exist, you and I."
Vergil even remembered that he quarrelled with Dante when they captured Lilith, Mundus' demoness, and about Kat. He knew that because of Kat, he learned how to care.
"Dante, this is madness. You just threw the fate of mankind for a girl!"
"Kat helped us to escape! She needs us. I'm not abandoning her."
"Alright, we'll do it your way, brother."
And even to him, his brother.
"You made it. We make quiet the team."
"I'm stronger."
"I'm smarter."
"I'm better looking."
"Mundus is behind the vault door. Let's not keep him waiting."
As they went into the vault, Vergil is not finished yet.
"...And I got a bigger dick."
"This is it, Dante. We have to put our lives in each other's hands, completely, without hesitation."
"'Cause we're brothers, after all."
Yes, Dante's right. They're brothers. And brothers look out and help each other. They worked together and defeated Mundus. But after that, everything had changed... when he revealed his true motives.
"Yes, free from the demons. The path is clear for us to rule."
"What did you just say?"
"The path is clear for us to rule."
"To rule what?"
"This. Everything."
"You mean like Mundus?"
"No, no. We will not be like Mundus." Vergil denied. "We will respect our subjects, not enslave them."
"Subjects?" Kat was confused on what Vergil said.
"He means you." Dante makes it clear for her. "He means humans."
When Kat heard this, she felt a bit surprised on what Vergil said. "I thought you were fighting for freedom."
"It's just for his freedom he's fighting for. Not yours." Dante told the injured psychic.
Then Vergil stepped up to explain his side. "Don't be so simplistic. Humans are frail, they're like children. They need protection. Not just from others, but from themselves! We - you and I - have saved them."
"You and I saved them?"
"Who else?"
"A human." Dante pointed to Kat who was standing in the balcony.
"Kat was useful, but-"
"Useful?" Kat said in shock.
Now it's Dante's turn to explain "Kat saved my life! Kat endured torture to keep your existence a secret! Kat led us to the tower to Mundus' lair; we would've failed 20 times and over if weren't for her!" With this, it seems that Dante wanted to acknowledge that a human is also a hero. That's how he cares so much about Kat.
"Listen!" Vergil tried to convince him once more. "If you can't see the chaos the humans would cause, if you don't want the responsibility of protecting them, then stand aside. I'll rule alone."
Dante shot back in disgust. "I didn't help you destroy Mundus so you could take his place! I can't let do this, Vergil."
"And I can't let you stop me, brother. Stand aside."
"Don't do this..." Dante pleaded.
Kat also did the same with a worried voice. "Vergil, please!"
"STAY OUT OF THIS!" Vergil yelled at her.
Vergil clenched his wound. It was a wound from his chest caused by a stab, back from a swordfight. It's from a sword of his brother's. Not only had he crushed his body but also his spirit. He was about to die back then. He even saw the fury of his brother while in Devil Trigger mode, same as him back then.
He was lying into the ground, feeling the excruciating pain as the Devil Triggered Dante pushed his Rebellion sword further to kill him. But Vergil heard Kat's voice...
"Dante... Dante, don't kill him. Please."
"I'm begging you. Please, stop. For me."
Because of Kat, Dante took off his sword. And what surprised Vergil is that his brother offered his hand to him, in order for Vergil him stand up on his feet. It's more like a brotherly scene, but this will be the last time, perhaps. Because what causes disagreements is because of different ideals, different reasons, different ends. That what causes the brothers to part ways once again, tainted with blood and animosity, with Vergil himself pulling the plug. But for instance, Dante has new resolve.
"The world is under my protection now."
"You've chosen the wrong side. You're not human, Dante. And you never will be."
Then he opens a portal from his samurai sword, Yamato. He looked back to Dante... and Kat.
"I loved you, brother."
That was the last words he said to them. All of those thoughts made him disgusted even more. Mixed feelings of anger and regret ushered into him once again. But it didn't help him one way or the other. He is walking around this world. He doesn't even know if this place is a distorted Limbo or worse, hell.
He fell into his knees, exhausted.
"What will happen to us now, father?" Vergil is seemingly talking to his father, Sparda. He wasn't even dead. But instead, it was eternal torment.
"Dante betrayed me." Vergil clenched his wound. "And there's nothing left for me." Then he coughed blood out of his mouth.
"Wait a minute. Maybe he's... he's..."
And he slumped into the ground, seemingly dead.
But suddenly the ground is shaking violently; it crumbled. And Vergil fell among the depths on this deep hellhole.
That is until he hits the ground. He tries to barely stand up and he saw something... familiar.
"Is this... home?"
He stood up and looked into his surroundings. That was different back then when he was walking endlessly. He knew that this is a different world but this is also bizarre, as he saw it.
"What is this place?" Vergil said. And then he ran...
Author's Notes: End of Chapter 3.
Yep, I'm going to do many changes here since this is my AU take. There will be different situations and OCs in this story. What I did is a different scene compared to the game's opening because I found out that the Yamato in DmC can cross into dimensions, to other worlds. And I love that idea. I know that the term 'Nephilim' is more like half-human and half-angel but the Nephilim in DmC is more like an angel-demon hybrid. According to Phineas (my most favorite new character in the Devil May Cry universe along w/ Kat), he told Dante that the Nephilim wield the power of both angels and demons, but they have the power to cross into different worlds. It means that the likes of Dante AND Vergil will be more powerful if they reached their full potential. And since Phineas is my fave, I'll find a way on how he will be included in my story! So I'll working on it.
Please read and review. Thanks and I'll see you later!
