Chapter 5: Finding the Light

Hopping, running and jumping is much of a chore, but for Vergil, he doesn't care since it was necessary. Until he saw another floating rock to reach his destination: a ruined building.

He saw a faint white light, a few of them. Since he's a Nephilim who wields both the powers of an angel and a demon, good thing that he has the Angel Lift ability; not only he can pull through enemies but also to objects at great distances, if he can't jump very high. Not only was a tool for combat but also in exploration. He used his Summoned Sword and shoots it to the white light; he teleported himself and landed into the floating rock. He saw three more faint white lights and with haste, he threw his angelic Summoned Sword into the white point to pull him through; as he floats into the air, he threw a second one, then the third, until he reached into the ruined building.

As he began to take step, he sensed danger as another group of demons appeared. One Death Knight, 4 Stygians, and 3 floating cherub-like demons called Pathos which they carry crossbows for long distance attacks. They are sneering on Vergil...

But the other Son of Sparda was unfazed of the sneering as he began to unsheathe Yamato, lifting the tsuba with his thumb...

He dashed forward and performed a horizontal slash on one Stygian, cutting it in halves. The Death Knight swings its sword to the approaching Vergil but he disappeared in a flash and suddenly, he is in the air as he sets his eyes on the cherub-like demons. The Pathos quickly aimed their crossbows but Vergil quickly teleported to the Pathos using his angelic Summoned Sword and unleashed a three-hit combo using his Yamato called Aerial Rave. It instantly killed the said Pathos and he teleports again to the second one followed by the third one, finishing them off with the same move.

Vergil landed into the ground and sheathed back his sword. He knows that it's not over yet so he turned to the remaining demons. The Death Knight commands the Stygians to attack Vergil by pointing its sword in front of the sword-wielding Nephilim; and the Stygians heeded the call as they charged forward on Vergil. One of the Stygians did the first strike with its sword but Vergil evade it and he immediately unsheathes his sword to slash another charging Stygian, successfully killing it. He keeps on charging as he sets his sights to the other 2 Stygians. The demons are preparing themselves but never knew about Vergil's killing intent. The Nephilim jumped and does a turning side kick, hitting the Stygian away. As Vergil, landed on the ground, the other Stygian braces for an attack but Vergil quickly hit the said demon using the handle of his sword; then he hit it again like sideways and prepares for a drawing stance and slashing the helpless Stygian for the finish; a 3-hit combo move called Slasher.

He noticed that another Stygian charged at Vergil yet he did a side kick that made the Stygian stagger and was hit by a Summoned Sword. Then he charged to the Stygian and does a slash attack; it was a one-hit strike. And it turned the Stygian to dust. He noticed that the last remaining Stygian is sneering at him; and suddenly, he used his demonic Summoned Sword to drag the poor demon into him and in his drawing stance, he finished the last Stygian with a powerful slash.

What remains now is the Death Knight. Vergil knew that it wields a shield so without hesitation he charged forward and when he is inches away from the Death Knight, he disappeared and he is floating in the air; he throws a demonic Summoned Sword at the Death Knight to knock out the demon's block for a short time, then he throws another one to make the Death Knight completely vulnerable. Vergil landed on the ground and did a two-hit combo with his sheathed Yamato and when on drawing stance, he unleashed a 5-hit flurry of slashes that made the Death Knight killed into pieces in a crosslike fashion, which is dubbed Crosscut.

Vergil sheathes back Yamato and as he felt pain while fighting, it doesn't matter for him. He needs to find his amulet, and find a way to get out of this place. He started to run.

"I need to find a way to get out of here." Suddenly, Kagura flashed in his thoughts. He was never sure about what he is feeling right now, but something is warm around him. Then he remembered Kat. She was a human, but he felt pity on himself since he used her as a tool. But for him, it was for the best. He had no choice after all. He should be ready if the worst is yet to come. And he continued to move forward.

Meanwhile, Kagura is still running forward and also jumped into rocks and other platforms. Her speed and agility greatly helped her not only in battles but also in her journeys as an S-class wizard. She later reached her destination, which it was like an abandoned home. She started to enter the abandoned building.

She walked forward until she reached into the hallway. Kagura looked on her surroundings. It's more like a mansion yet it was also surreal.

"Alright, what is this place anyway? Kagura looks on the interior of the structure, until she heard a voice. It was from a little girl from back then. And it looks like her.

Kagura saw the little girl, running. She's not sure if this was a ghost or something else. Kagura decided to follow her. Then she went into place where the dining room was located. Kagura saw the little girl again and just like back before, she was running around and playing. Kagura tried to approach her again but out of luck as the little girl left off again and Kagura still tried to follow her. She made way into the corridors until she saw a big hole where the little girl jumped on it. When she went into it, she saw a floor so she jumped on it and landed. But the little girl is nowhere to be found. Shrugging it off, she went off her way, finding out how to get out of this building.

She continued to run until she went into the exit. She saw some platforms again and then she jumped into one floating rock after another until she landed in the ground, a few miles from an entrance. As she began to walk toward it, 5 Stygians appeared and surrounded her. Another fight ensues. And then she closed her eyes.

"You vile fiends want to waste my time, huh?" she mumbled.

When she opened her eyes, she activated her magic: Gravity Change. Suddenly, all of the Stygians got on their knees, feeling that something heavy is upon them. Using her gravity control magic, Kagura lifts them up and with a stroke of her hand, she send the Stygians off the cliff, falling to their deaths. Kagura panted a bit after using it.

"It seems I've used a little more. But that would help..." And she entered into the said corridor...

Vergil went into his way in the corridors of the abandoned building, which is more like some parts of his mansion, his childhood home. As he continued to move forward, he saw two little boys playing a swordfight. When he saw it, it's more like ghostly apparitions of him and Dante, back when they were kids. The little Vergil stumbled down, defeated. That struck him and he felt that pain back then: the time that he was stabbed by his brother. And he heard a voice, mocking him...

"Poor Vergil, are you lost?"

He mumbled in response. "Damn you, Dante." Then he coughed as he walked on. But something had crossed in his mind: Kat's voice of pleading and Dante offering his hand. But he decided to shrug it off.

He went out of the corridor and he saw some floating platforms. He saw one which is some part of a building floating around. Then he saw a fainting red light, telling him that he should use his demonic Summoned Sword to drag the said platform into him, performing his own Demon Pull. When it's done, he jumped in and continued to run, he jumped again into the floating rock and then he jumped into the next one, using his Angel Boost to fly and he landed into the second platform. Then he did it again on crossing the 3rd platform and finally, he jumped into the last one, which it was also a chunk of the said building. He entered into it and he saw a hole that leads to a lower floor. He jumped into it and landed on the floor. He continued to run and turn to the left side until he stopped when a black slime blocked the entrance. And he narrowed his eyes. He felt danger. And someone is following him. When he felt this kind of presence coming near to him, he unsheathes his sword and pointed it on the one who will probably attack him. When he looked in front, he was surprised that it was none other than Kagura, the same woman he met moments ago. And she was surprised that Vergil points his sword on her. The man is still a mystery for Kagura; is he a friend or an enemy?

"You again?" Vergil is still pointing his sword the Mermaid Heel wizard.

"You're trying to kill me, aren't you?" Kagura narrowed her eyes.

"Not exactly." Vergil shook his head. "I thought it was a demon." Vergil sheaths back Yamato, but he still feels that unknown presence.

"Keep your eyes open." Vergil warned Kagura.

"Why?"

"Someone is watching us..." Vergil stood around and so does Kagura. Both of them now sense danger. So they must be on guard.

"Here it comes!" Vergil and Kagura prepared their swords; Vergil unsheathes Yamato while Kagura hold the grip of her Archenemy. But what comes to them are a flock of crows as they shielded themselves.

"Where the hell are these ravens coming from?!" Kagura raised her voice.

"I have no idea." Vergil answered. But someone is appearing on them. "Here it is..."

And suddenly, a floating demon appeared in front of them. It was a fleshy one, has bandages and its chest and its huge arms. Not only that, it also had fearsome and deadly claws, its head is like a goat's skull and it was surrounded by ravens. It was known as the Wisp. What's worse is that it fades into a gaseous state.

As Kagura tried to charge forward, Vergil raised his right hand, stooping her. "Wait."

Kagura turned on Vergil.

"Melee attacks won't work on him. It's because that demon can go into a gaseous state, as you see it right now." Vergil explained.

Then Kagura noticed that other demons came along. Four Stygians and two Elite Stygians, rose up from the ground and they are now screeching on the two.

"Great, we'll have a hard time to deal with this." Said Kagura, worried about how will they gonna defeat them, not to mention that the Wisp is a very hard opponent.

Then Vergil turned on Kagura. "I'll deal with the floating demon. You take on the rest."

"Okay, if you say so." Kagura nodded. And she ran forward to the Stygian crowd; the Wisp tried to attack the Mermaid Heel mage yet she evade it by rolling over and she leaped into the demons and does a straight kick on one Stygian. Now Kagura turned as faced the Stygian crowd surrounding her and she began to narrow her eyes, holding her sheathed Archenemy...

The Wisp tried to join in on hunting Kagura but a pair of Summoned Swords hits its back. Moments later, the Wisp's ghostly form is thoroughly gone due to the two projectile swords were stuck in its back. Then one demonic Summoned Sword made the Wisp being dragged by Vergil. He immediately unsheathe Yamato, doing an upward slash launching himself and his opponent into the air, called Upperslash and while in the air, he unsheathes his Yamato, does a 2-hit combo and finishes it with a Helm Breaker. As Vergil sheathes back Yamato, the Wisp stood up and floats once again, setting its eyes on his opponent.

Vergil called out as he began to draw his sword. "You try to hurt the girl, you're going through me!"

When one Lesser Stygian tries to strike using a horizontal slash, Kagura blocked it successfully. Then she uses a counterattack move by using a turning side kick, forcing the Lesser Stygian to be hit in the wall. Another Lesser Stygian jumped in and tried to attack from behind but Kagura dodged it and hits the Lesser Stygians face and using the force of her sheathed Archenemy, she instantly killed it by making its head explode, turning the demon into dust. Now five Stygians are left but there is nothing that she can do but to defeat them. After all, she is not alone.

The 3 remaining Lesser Stygians never hesitate to charge at her. Kagura did the same using her quick speed; she dashed forward and uses her Slashing Form to finish off the 3 Lesser Stygians, which were shattered into pieces. The two Elite Stygians saw Kagura running at them and they use their shockwave attacks directly at Kagura. Then Kagura used the force of the shockwaves to jump higher and she was above the 2 Elite Stygians. Then she holds Archenemy with her two hands in the air; the stance that was used for regular sword wielders. And with it, she strikes down one Elite Stygian, cutting in half due to the sheer force of her Archenemy. The only remaining Elite Stygian raise its sword but Kagura swings her sheathed sword on the attacking Elite Stygian, attacking its abdomen, cutting it in two. For Kagura, it was a sigh of relief. Then she turned her attention on Vergil, who is currently clashing his Yamato against the claws of the Wisp.

As she reached forward for a clearer look, Kagura saw how Vergil fights. Indeed, she was considered as Mermaid Heel's strongest wizard not just because of her Gravity Change magic but also being a master swordswoman, which it rivals that of Erza's. But Vergil's swordsmanship is different, and she can admit that it can be the same level or much better than hers. She never saw something like this before: graceful and fast, yet deadly and powerful at the same time. She can never unsheathe Archenemy since it can cause a cataclysm, just like what happened at the Grand Magic Games 2 months ago in her world. Its powerful shockwave destroyed most of the buildings yet Erza was unfazed on it, due to the latter's will and determination. She also saw the sword that Vergil holds: Yamato. Unlike her sword, the Yamato can be easily used but she also senses its power: a power unlike any other...

With a wave of his right hand, Vergil throws his 3 Summoned Swords and it hits the Wisp then he throws his demonic Summoned Sword to drag the Wisp into him and attacks the demon with his Crosscut. When the Wisp staggered, Vergil jumps forward and finishes the Wisp with a powerful slash from his Yamato. He landed on the ground and sheathes back Yamato to its scabbard.

Kagura approached him and Vergil turned to her. Vergil is the one to speak. "You alright?"

"I should be the one who should ask that, due to your wounds." Kagura tried to shot back.

"Do I give a damn?" Vergil replied. When he took off his right hand from his chest, he noticed that the wound is gone.

Kagura even noticed that, too. "Your wound, it's gone."

"I have no idea why, maybe it just heals itself." Vergil made an assumption.

Kagura is still curious. "What are you anyway?"

Vergil shrugs off Kagura's question as he walks away into the exit.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Kagura tried to call him, as she followed.

Both of them went out of the ruined building. They still see more platforms along the way. Kagura looked on her surroundings, until she saw a floating island that has a gate, and it was surrounded by a blue sphere.

"Vergil... Vergil... my son, is that you?"

Vergil heard that voice very clear in his ears. It was from her mother's. It was none other than Eva.

"Mother..." He mumbled. Kagura even heard that voice, too. She even looked around on where it came from, but to no avail.

"Vergil... thank goodness you're fine!"

Vergil can't say anything as of now. As far as he can see, he has no chest wound but still covered in bruises.

"You're trapped here, just like me. But you can escape, you still have a chance." Eva said. Vergil still has his ears as he listens.

"The light! Find the light, and get out of here." Eva pleaded.

Thanks to Eva, Vergil knows what to do. "The light?... Ok."

Kagura went on to Vergil. "That voice. Is that...?"

"Yes, it's my mother. As far as I know, she's dead." Vergil told her.

"Wait, if she's dead, why are we still alive here? Is she some kind of a spirit?" Kagura wondered.

"I can't even answer that." Vergil shook his head. Then she faced the female mage. "You want to get out of here, right?

Kagura nodded.

"Then follow me." Vergil said. "But we need to find my amulet. It's here somewhere..."

"Don't worry, I'll help."

"You will?" Vergil asked.

"Of course." Kagura smiled. "We are both trapped here, so we need to help each other. Unless if you're a backstabber..." Kagura face turned serious.

Vergil then responded. "What if I'm that person who can stab someone in the back?"

Kagura remains in her serious mood. "For that sorry state you're in? I doubt it..." Kagura disagreed.

Vergil can't even tell about what's happening to him. Kagura's answer surprised him. Yes, he used Kat as a tool, but this was different. Yes, she trusted him but there is something more. More like his heart is beating. "This feeling again? Why?" Then he decided to ignore it. "Maybe you're right." Vergil sighed.

"Alright, let's go." Vergil started to move forward. Then Kagura followed.

Author's Notes: This is the end of chapter 5. This is more like a build-up for the next chapter. Also, the last few chapters is very short; this time it's 3000+ words. So I'm very glad after all.

Please read and review. And later!
