Chapter 4: An Encounter of Swords

Kagura continued to run forward, jumped on floating rocks, evading any obstacle that distracts her way. She jumped into one platform after another. As she landed in the ground, she is now exhausted a bit.

"It seems I got tired because of hopping around." She took a deep breath. "A walk should save some energy for me."

She began to walk forward and look around. A mysterious place this is, it speaks more of eeriness and horror. Some may say it's a like a wasteland but it's more than that. It was dark and twisted

As she continued her journey, she noticed someone is standing in front of her. She was playing and running around. As Kagura take a couple of steps to give her a clear view, she opened her jaw on what she saw.

"A little girl... Wait, that's me!"

Then the little girl ran away. Kagura had no second thoughts.

"Hey, wait!" Kagura tried to call the little girl.

But suddenly, a group of demons rose up on the ground as they block Kagura's way. They were like thin creatures yet they hold broadswords like they look rusted yet sharp. They were called Stygians, and they were the lesser types. If she wanted to find answers, she had no choice but to fight them.

"If I need to take all of you down, then come on!" Kagura called on the demons.

Vergil moved on as he ran. He doesn't mind the huge wound on his chest. All he needs is to find a way to get out of this place. He senses danger so he'd best to hurry. But everytime he ran and jump, especially using his Angel Boost for great distances, he's still grunting in pain. But he needs to endure it. After all, he's a Nephilm, and a Son of Sparda.

He landed on the ground. And keeps his eye on his surroundings as he walked on.

"I don't know if this is Limbo or anything, but... I'm sure this is like... hell."

Vergil stooped for a moment as a horde of lesser Stygians also appeared on the ground. Without a doubt, he unsheathed Yamato, raising it and thrust it into the ground, trying to summon his Doppelganger. But something's not right: he can't summon it. Until he noticed that something is missing...

"My amulet... it's gone!" Without his blue amulet, he couldn't use his Doppelganger. As he can see it, he lost half of his powers. He sheathed his sword, since he had no choice but to fight on his own.

"It seems that I need to get through this..." Vergil prepared himself.

One Stygian rushed as it tried to attack Vergil. But Vergil used the handle of his unsheathed Yamato to hit the Stygian. Another Stygian brace for attack and Vergil hit the other one, still using his unsheathed sword. Both of the Stygians staggered and Vergil prepares his drawing stance and he starts to unsheathe Yamato and with one quick strike, he slashed the two poor Stygians with ease, slicing them into pieces and he sheathed Yamato back.

Other Lesser Stygians appeared as he turned around.

"Great..." he muttered.

One Stygian attacked him from the right side. Vergil dodged its attack with ease and strikes the demon with his right knee and a palm strike, killing it. Two Stygians charged on Vergil and the Nephilim disappeared in front of them.

"Gotcha!"

Vergil smirked as he was in the air, raising his Yamato and unleashes his Helm Breaker attack, slamming the two demons, destroying them. He looked at the remaining 3 as they charged into him but he evade every attack until he got past into them and he throws 3 Summoned Swords targeting their heads, ultimately killing them.

"Well, that's the last of them. No time to waste..."

He started to run forward and jumped into the floating rock and he jumped high and uses Angel Boost to dash forward. And he landed safely from the ground. Until...

...he turned around and saw a mysterious figure, fighting and warding off the demon horde. He looked closer. It was a girl with long black hair dodging and defending using her sheathed sword.

"A girl? What is she doing here? She can't even defeat them when her sword is sheathed."


Kagura dodged one Lesser Stygian's slash and does a powerful roundhouse kick, sending the Stygian away and falls to its death. She turned into the remaining Lesser Stygians and they are now 5 of them but out of nowhere, two Stygians appeared. As Kagura noticed, those two Stygians are different: they have pointed demonic horns, sawblades and they wear steel-like armor. They were called Elite Stygians.

Kagura narrowed her eyes because these two Stygians can be dangerous. So she prepared by donning her drawing stance, in case they're attacking. The two elite Stygians unleashed two powerful shockwaves into the ground. Kagura blocked it but the shockwaves were actually strong. Furthermore, she stood her own ground, unfazed on the Stygians' attack. Vergil can't believe on what he saw.

"Amazing. I can't believe she can block that. Is she human?"

"Now it's my turn." Kagura began to attack the two Elite Stygians as she dashed forward. She got closer and strikes down the two Elite Stygians, killing them with her unsheathed Archenemy. The remaining Stygians never hesitate to attack her at once. One Lesser Stygian tries to attack Kagura with its horizontal slash but she successfully blocked it. Another Lesser Stygian came forward and tried yet she dodged the attack and thrust the attacking Lesser Stygian's torso using the tip of her sheathed sword, striking it away. Then she hit the standing Lesser Stygian using her right shoulder and followed an uppercut-like blow using her sword, launching it upward. The other 4 surround her and they simultaneously attack. But Kagura was unfazed as she prepares her next move.

"Blade of Resentment, Archenemy. Sheathed Sword Style: Slashing Form!"

Suddenly, flurries of slashes surround her as it quickly killed the 4 Lesser Stygians and; only one Lesser Stygian left and it was falling down yet Kagura slammed the demon down into the ground, destroying her enemy into pieces. She thought that she was done here but she feels that it wasn't over... yet.

Kagura turned to the left side and she saw another demon spawn coming out of the ground; 3 of them. They were a bit higher than the Stygians since they have demonic horns and swords yet they also carry shields. They were called Death Knights. And they tried to taunt her by clanking their swords in their shields.

"Oh well, you scumbags want a death wish..." Kagura mentally sighed. And she prepares her drawing stance.

Vergil is still observing the mysterious woman. Not only she is strong but she can defeat her foes with her sword unsheathed. This can be ridiculous but he has seen it with his two eyes.

"She can defeat these demons without unsheathing her sword. I've never seen someone doing that since it was ridiculous. I thought that was impossible, but..."

Then an idea hatched into Vergil's mind...


Kagura braced forward to attack the two Death Knights and attacks one of them with her unsheathed sword but it was blocked by Death Knight with its shield, laughing. Kagura frowned and does a swipe kick to bring the Death Knight down; while the other one ran forward and tries to attack but Kagura blocked it while she's on the ground. Then she pushed the Death Knight away and rolled in order to get up. For Kagura, these Death Knights should not be underestimated.

THWIP!

A flurry of red Summoned Swords hit the two Death Knights, knocking off their shields. Kagura was surprised on the outcome, feeling that she was not alone in this place. Suddenly, she saw someone jumped in front of her. It was a man with white hair who wears a long coat with blue markings on his back. He also holds a samurai sword just like hers. Then the man turned on her...

"I just took off their shields. Now is your chance!" the white haired man ordered her.

"Why did you help me?" Kagura tried to ask the man. But she decided to shrug it off and nodded.

Kagura dashed forward and uses her sheathed Archenemy to finish off the two Death Knights with her Archenemy, turning them into smithereens, turning them into dust. She took a deep breath.

"Deep breaths makes you calm, and it can put off some stress..."

She turned and faced the man who had helped her. It seems that she was not alone after all.

"I want to ask some questions." Kagura is the first one to speak.

The man stays in his demeanor.

"Do you know what this place is?"

Then Vergil answered. "I don't know. But like you, I'm stuck in here."

"I see..." Kagura looked down since she was a bit disappointment. Until she noticed that the man was clenching his wound.

Kagura tried to approach him to check. "You have a wound. Are you hurt?"

The man shook his head. "No, it's nothing. I can move on my own."

"But I need to check your-"

He raised his left hand while holding his sheathed sword, refused. And he walked on his own way, leaving her.

"Wait!"

The man halted. He had no choice but to answer, but patience is a virtue, as everyone says.

"I didn't even know your name." Kagura wanted to know. "And... thank you."

"Don't mention it." The man turned to her. "Vergil."

Kagura heard the man's name. "Vergil." She decided to return the favour in a confident tone. "Kagura Mikazuchi."

"Kagura, huh?" Vergil heard it right. Then he wants to ask something... trivial. "Are you Japanese?"

"Japanese!? Where did he get that?" Kagura was surprised and stuttered in embarrassment. "Hey, what are you talking about!?" she yelled.

Vergil chuckled on Kagura's reaction. "So, it means that you're another world, am I right?"

Kagura heard it very well. Vergil's guess caught into her. "You're right." She nodded. "I'm from another world."

Vergil had an uneasy feeling. Not pain or sorrow but something... odd. But he decided to shrug it off. "Here's my advice: be careful." Then he disappeared.

"Hey!" Kagura tried to call out. But she is sure about one thing: they will cross paths once again.

"I hope we will see each other... Vergil."


Unknown to them, there was one who is observing them. And that was a demon.

"We have uninvited guests. But the Mistress herself will enjoy this."

And the demon left off, disappeared.


Author's Notes: So this is the end of Chapter 4. So this will be a possible partnership AND a possible romance between the two. What I wanted is that Kagura would help him forge a new path. Not the path of darkness but just the opposite. And she will be the one who will represent Vergil's humanity; just as the same as Dante with Kat. But Kagura will be more powerful as this story had progress.

Also, another short chapter but this will really help.

Read and review and I'll see you guys later.
