Author's Notes: Okay, I'm back. I used the 2nd half of Mission 1 of the Vergil's Downfall DLC. There are many changes that I've made here. So enjoy this chapter.
I don't own Fairy Tail and DmC: Devil May Cry.
Chapter 6: Stabbed
A big dark castle is floating on the said demonic realm. And one of its rooms is a throne room, which is a large dome. A woman was sitting on a throne and she is watching through a big orb. She saw the two intruders running into their destination. The woman herself has long black hair with some white strands and her skin is pale. She had yellow eyes which they were predatory in description, nails that were coloured black, and a black dress that was robelike.
She even holds a mysterious blue amulet, hanging on her left hand. As she watched the whole scenery through the orb, she can't help but to garner a wicked grin...
Kagura and Vergil continued to run forward and jumping on more platforms; while the former can jump very high due to being a wizard, the latter rely on high jumps and the use of Angel Boost. They saw one Lesser Stygian along the way but Kagura dashed forward and landed a dropkick that sends the Lesser Stygian falling off the cliff. Vergil humorously shook it off as he walked onto Kagura.
"You're really fast for a human. But not as fast as me." He smirked.
She chuckled. "Oh please, did you see what I just did? I just kicked that demon's ass six ways to Sunday."
"Well, no comment on that." said Vergil as he walked past on Kagura. Then he disappeared as he teleported to the next platform as he kicked away the Lesser Stygian off the cliff. Then he made an arrogant grin while Kagura didn't give a damn.
"Hey, let's see if you can jump in to get here!" Vergil called out playfully. He started to take a couple of steps when suddenly, he saw the sword-wielding woman jumped very high and landed next to him. Vergil can't help but to stand in awe on the sword-wielding woman.
"I did." Kagura smirked.
"What can I say? You're pretty good." Vergil complimented. "You're a human, but what are you anyway?"
"Hmm... maybe I should the one who should ask that." said Kagura.
Vergil raised an eyebrow on what Kagura said. "I can't tell you."
"And I won't tell you mine either." Kagura crossed her arms and looked away.
"Whatever." Vergil shrugged it off. And as he walked past Kagura, she opened up her eyes on what will Vergil do since they need to get across of that ruined building. Vergil saw a floating platform, which he also sees a faint red light on it. With one motion on his right hand, he throws a Demonic Summoned Sword, dragging the platform. Thus, Vergil performed a Demon Pull. As the demonic Summoned Sword touched its target, the platform disappeared and reappeared in front of them. Kagura was surprised on what she saw. She wasn't even sure if this is a magic ability or not.
"Impressed?" Vergil smiled as he turned on Kagura.
"Speechless." that is all Kagura would say.
Vergil chuckled. "Come on, we have no time to lose."
"Right." Kagura went to her calm demeanour as she followed suit. They began to cross the dragged platform and they hop into every platform until they reached one platform, one step away to the ruined building. A floating platform which is a structure part was present so Vergil used his Demon Pull for the second time, again dragging the said platform to them. He Angel Lift himself with the angelic Summoned Sword to get across the ruined building; he disappeared in a flash and went into the second floor. But Kagura still does her own thing by jumping higher as she also landed to the second floor. Vergil decided to ignore about it and he continued to run with Kagura following him. And they both jumped into another platform.
"There it is!" Kagura saw something.
Vergil stopped for a while as he turned on the woman. "What?"
"Look at that force-field thing? That must be it." Kagura pointed on the floating land which it as a gate on it, being surrounded by a blue sphere.
"I see." Vergil said. "Alright, let's go."
As they went on, they halted when a horde of demons surround them, but this time it was different. 4 Pathos demons appeared as they hover in the air. Kagura gritted her teeth, while Vergil keeps his stare. Vergil disappeared out of nowhere as he finished the four cherub demons one by one, destroying then completely. Vergil landed and sheathed back his sword.
Vergil sensed that it's not over yet. "Still more of them."
Kagura turned to her left and not just 4 Pathos have appeared but also 5 Stygians and 2 Death Knights. Fighting them is the only option they have left.
"We need to take care of these freaks." Kagura turned to Vergil.
"I've been battling demons before, so it's no surprise to me." Vergil said.
"You do?" Kagura cocked an eyebrow. The she narrowed her eyes. "I've fought these demons before I came here."
"How?" Vergil asked.
"Long story." Kagura answered.
Then Vergil hatched an idea. "I'll take care of the shield-wielders and the floating ones. You take care of the rest."
"Hn, fine by me." Kagura agreed.
As one of the Stygians screeched and all of his own kind followed, Kagura and Vergil prepared themselves. One of the Death Knights raises its sword, ordering them a charge to attack the two. Both Vergil and Kagura dashed forward; Vergil teleported to the two Death Knights while Kagura clashed her sword into one of the Stygians. Kagura stood on her ground as she tried to push the Stygian; she turned her eyes on the left side as another Stygian trying to attack her. Sensing this, she pushed away the Stygian in front of her and performs a right front kick, hitting the other Stygian. The Stygian in front of her swings its sword but Kagura backflips in the air, evading the attack and lands on the other side. As she faced the Stygians, she dashed forward and holds her sheathed sword in a double grip as she slashed the Stygians one by one while swinging her sword left and right, killing them. And then she leaped as she readies her sheathed sword; she swings it in the air, targeting the two Stygians. As she landed on the ground past them, the remaining Stygians were turned into dust. As her work is done, she turned her eyes on Vergil, now holding her sheathed sword on her left hand.
One Death Knight clashed its sword onto Vergil; the latter parrying its attack. The other Death Knight tries to attack him from behind, but he disappeared as means of evasion as he reappeared again, few miles from the 2 demons. Then he throws 2 demonic Summoned Swords each on the 2 respective Death Knights, knocking off their shields. Then he threw another set of 2 demonic Summoned Swords to stagger the Death Knights, stunning them. Seeing the perfect chance for an attack, Vergil does a drawing stance but more like a standing position. Moments later, something is glowing on his sheathed Yamato; it was like gathering powerful energy. Vergil is concentrating and keeps his focus on his targets. Sheathing his sword, Vergil made a powerful slash, creating a slash vortex that turned the Death Knights into shreds. That technique is called Judgment Cut. And then Vergil sheathes Yamato back.
Kagura approached Vergil to see if he was fine but on the looks on it, he was. But all can she can say is this: "Awesome technique."
Vergil tried to shrug off Kagura's comment. "You have a better sword than I had."
She quirked an eyebrow. "Seriously?"
"Hn. To be honest, you didn't even sheathe it. And you can manage to defeat them." Vergil said.
"Says you. Your sword is more powerful than mine." Kagura playfully replied. But Vergil's expression turned into a serious one.
"What's wrong?" Kagura asked.
As Vergil turned into his right, he saw a large rock moving into the same large platform that they were currently standing. Vergil sees this as an impending danger so they need to get out of here and fast.
"This ground will be destroyed!" Vergil called on Kagura, who also sensed the incoming danger. "Let's get out of here!"
Kagura now follows Vergil's trail as they escape; the large rock had hit the platform and in turned sideways to the left. The two continued to run until the large rock platform hits the next platform. They hurriedly jumped into it. And then they hopped into the next platform, but they saw two big rocks are beginning to collide on the said platform they stand right now; Kagura saw another platform which also stood a structure part. They need to think of another way or they will be squished and die for good.
But Vergil saw a faint white light. And then she turned on Kagura, she quickly grabbed her hand.
"H-Hey!" Kagura was surprised. "What are you doing?!"
"If you want to survive, just trust me on this, ok?" Vergil told her.
Kagura was reluctant on it, but there is no choice. She had to trust on Vergil no matter what. The white-haired man sets his sights on the next platform and also the faint white light.
"I hope this will gonna work..."
Suddenly, he throws an angelic Summoned Sword into the faint white light, performing an Angel Lift. In an instant, they teleported into the next platform, and they landed safely. But it's not over for them yet as the said floating ground is slowly falling. Vergil hatched an idea as he saw another faint white light followed by 2 others.
"Please bear with me, swordswoman." Vergil then carries Kagura, bridal style. She doesn't know what she is feeling right now, but she is now blushing. All she can do now is hold on to him. Without further ado, Vergil ran and jumps higher...
"KYAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Kagura screamed. Not minding it, Vergil goes with his Angel Lift, throwing an angelic Summoned Sword, teleporting them into it. He saw the second one and still performs his Angel Lift, succeeded on the second one. He throws his angelic Summoned Sword on the third one. And finally, Vergil did on the last one as the finally landed on the ground where the gate is located. He finally put down Kagura and the latter stood up and...
Vergil received a chop in the head.
"Next time you have plan, just tell me first!" Kagura said in bewilderment.
"I don't have a choice anyway! We would have died for good if we were standing there!" Vergil shot back.
Kagura tried to glare at the hybrid but she gave out a sigh and in turn, a soft smile. "Well, that was quite a ride. Thanks."
Vergil was surprised at Kagura's expression. That was the first time a woman smiled at him. It was since he met Kat as he remembers that they were together fighting Mundus and helping his brother Dante but he used her as a pawn, not thinking on how he cares for her. Vergil is now unsure of his feelings, but it's not the time for that; important things always matter.
"Don't mention it." Vergil said. And then he looked at the open gate. "Here it is. Let's go."
The two walked into the gate when suddenly, the gate was closed. Vergil sensed about the outcome while Kagura gritted her teeth. And a horde of demons rose up on the ground, surrounding them Kagura looked around as if they were everywhere but Vergil stared at them. Not only four Elite Stygians appeared but also 2 other demons but they were different. Their appearances are more like a mature Stygian, but instead of blades they wield full chainsaws on their right arm respectively. They are the Ravagers and with their chainsaws armed, they would shred any victim to pieces when they go berserk. The Ravagers have revved up their chainsaws as they eyed on their prey...
"Another beatdown?" Kagura inquired.
"Of course." Vergil answered. Kagura started to grasp the grip of her sword while Vergil lifting up his sword using his thumb. As the 4 Elite Stygians charged forward, 2 of them jumped raising their swords on the two. Vergil quickly blocked the attack in front of him while Kagura blocked the other Elite Stygian's attack with her sheathed Archenemy. They pushed back the two Elite Stygians away yet the other two charged at them on both sides but they jumped back as means of evasion, making the 2 other Elite Stygians collide with each other. They're both staggered and seeing this as an opening, both Kagura and Vergil dashed forward on the two Elite Stygians in front of them. Vergil slashed one while Kagura slashed the other as they finished both Elite Stygians. Two of them are left yet there were also 2 Death Knights and two Ravagers to deal with.
The remaining two Elite Stygians dashed forward as they tried to attack their opponents. Kagura rolled over as she dodged her opponent's attack and in turn, she swings her sword in a two-hit strike, killing the said Elite Stygian. Vergil exchanged blows until he turns, holding Yamato into a reverse grip and performs a reverse stabbing attack then does a turning side kick, killing his opponent. Then he heard the rabble of a chainsaw and as he turned, he saw one Ravager going berserk as it tried to charge onto Kagura!
"This isn't good!" Vergil teleported.
As Kagura turned, she saw the incoming Ravager. She began to use her sheathed sword to block it but much to her surprise, Vergil parried the chainsaw that made the Ravager pushed away through its force. She noticed that Vergil's sword can withstand the chainsaw; she never saw that kind of weapon in her world. All she can say is that the Yamato is an unbreakable sword.
Vergil then teleported and went behind the Ravager, floating in the air. Then he used his Angel Lift to lift himself into the Ravager, does a two-hit slash and finishes the Ravager with his Helm Breaker. He sheathed back Yamato in a backward fashion that can be considered as stylish. As Vergil turned, the Ravager screeched as it runs into him. Vergil tries to draw his sword but suddenly, Kagura darted into the Ravager, landing a series of slashes against the said demon, killing it. Kagura turned on Vergil.
"We're not done yet." She told the Nephilim.
Vergil nodded. "I know." Both have turned their attention into the two Death Knights. They dashed forward and swung their swords on the demons but they were blocked using their shields; both demons blurted with a taunting laugh. Kagura gritted her teeth, feeling that they underestimate her while Vergil's response was a smirk. The latter teleported and reappeared behind his opponent. Seeing this, Kagura used her strength to push her opponent, then pushing it away to gain more distance for herself. And then she executes a thrusting attack using her sheathed Archenemy. The Death Knight blocked it again with its shield, doing a mocking laugh for the second time.
"It seems it is I who had the last laugh." Kagura said with a smirk.
The Death Knight wondered on what she is talking about when suddenly, the shield that the demon carries beginning to crack; Kagura made a dent on the demon's shield. It shattered into pieces that make the Death Knight defenceless. Then it receives a kick in the face from Kagura, staggering the demon. She dashed forward and attacked with a 3-hit slash with the swing of her sword. The demon shattered into pieces, killed. Kagura was glad that her work is done, but they were not done yet because Vergil is dealing with the other Death Knight...
Vergil dodged the Death Knight's slash by teleporting away to gain distance. Then he used Demon Pull by throwing two demonic Summoned Swords to knock down the Death Knight, leaving it defenceless. Then Vergil dashed, lifting his opponent and himself in the air using Upperslash, and finishes his opponent using Aerial Rave. He landed on the ground and sheathes his Yamato.
Kagura ran into him. "I hope this is over."
"Me either." Vergil also hoped. But they saw another group of demons appearing, but they were floating in the air. Kagura remembers that they were the same demon that Vergil faced moments ago since they were surrounded by ravens. Yes, a pair of Wisps, two of them.
"You've seen these kinds of demons, right?" Vergil said to Kagura.
"Yes." Kagura answered.
"They can attack you even in their gaseous state. The only way to defeat them is to use any projectile. I have my Summoned Swords as weapons." Vergil explained. It was all a strategy.
"I don't have any projectiles. All I had is gravity magic." Kagura admitted.
"So it seems that we need to work together to beat them." Vergil said.
"That's the only way." Kagura nodded. They both prepared themselves as the Wisps draw closer to them. Vergil does the first move by throwing a flurry of Summoned Swords on the two floating demons, disabling their gaseous state.
"Now, Kagura!" Vergil commanded.
Hearing Vergil's command, Kagura jumped forward as she began to use her technique.
"Blade of Resentment, Archenemy. Sheathed Sword Style: Slashing Form!"
While in drawing stance, Kagura unleashed a flurry of slashes against the two Wisps. Kagura landed on the ground, both demons received damage but were staggered and they went into their gaseous states again. Kagura clenched her teeth in frustration. Vergil sees this and as he went near to the demons, he keeps on throwing his Summoned Swords, disabling the gaseous states of the Wisps.
"Now it's my turn." Vergil said, determined. He teleported himself to the Wisp,using his Angel Lift. Kagura saw this chance as she faced the other Wisp. The Wisp tried to attack the approaching swordswoman with its claws but Kagura evade its attacks. As she sees an opening, she began to swing her sword with 3 slashes that made the Wisp to stagger yet it went into its gaseous state again. Kagura is starting to lose her cool but she needs to calm down. She needs to find a way on how to defeat the demon that is front of her.
"I'll turn into shreds if I can't find a way to defeat that demon! Vergil uses his Summoned Swords against them, but..." Something comes into her mind.
"Wait, that's it!" She narrowed her eyes as she focus on her enemy. Kagura have finally found a way on how to defeat a Wisp. She would never be called Mermaid Heel's ace if it's not for her intelligence. She closed her eyes as she formed a pink magic circle around her, using her Gravity Change magic. Then she stretched out her right hand, forming an orb of gravity-induced energy. With sheer concentration, she formed an energy sword of her own, that can be used as a projectile. It was colour pink but what makes it different to Vergil's Summoned Sword is that it has gravity infused energy. Thus, Kagura learned a new magic attack. As expected, the Wisp goes for the scratch.
"Eat this! Gravity Sword!"
She throws her new magic attack to the Wisp and it was hit in the chest, disabling its gaseous state. But she noticed something different: the Wisp can't even move due to the manipulated gravity, due to the Gravity Sword being embed in its chest. With this, she can control the gravity of her target. Kagura is both on a test run AND defeating her opponent. She motioned her right hand down, sending the tiled Wisp down, hitting it into the ground. Then Kagura motioned her right hand again pulling the Wisp into her and performs a strong turning side kick. It made the Wisp stagger away and turns into its gaseous state. But she noticed something: the Wisp is going berserk. It unleashed its fury against the swordswoman with three strikes from its claws but she evades its attacks. She jumped back to gain distance from her enemy. She needs to act fast since the Wisp she is facing is now in berserker mode.
She formed a magic circle again and at same time, motioning her right hand. She noticed that the Wisp is getting closer and as a response, she charged forward after creating her Gravity Sword. The berserk Wisp goes for the claw attack but Kagura dodged as she went behind of her target, she throws her Gravity Sword and it hits the Wisp. The Wisp can't move an inch due to Kagura's new magic. She darted on the helpless Wisp with multiple slashes from her Archenemy, killing it. She breathed a sigh of relief after her fight. As she looked on her right hand, she could not believe that she will learn a new magic in a situation like this. She clenched her right hand turning it into a fist.
"Good thing that I learned something new... wait! Vergil!" She rushed forward because she is worried about him and he needs her help.
The Wisp was staggered due to Vergil's slash. It went into its gaseous state as it floats in the air. Vergil sees the outcome and he throws his Summoned Swords again. He disabled the Wisp's gaseous state; then Vergil uses his Angel Lift to teleport himself into the Wisp and performs an Aerial Rave attack that staggers the Wisp away. Even the Wisp went into its gaseous state, it went berserk. Vergil needs to be careful if he wants to finish the demon. He performs a Demon Pull by throwing a demonic Summoned Sword, dragging the Wisp into him. Then he unleashed a flurry of slashes using his Crosscut move. The Wisp shattered into pieces, killing it. Vergil sheathes Yamato and he turns on Kagura, walking to him.
"That's all of them?" Kagura inquired.
"Yes." Vergil answered. Both are exhausted but it's worth it since the gates were now open.
"This is it. Let's hurry!" Vergil said.
Kagura nodded. "Right." Both of them ran toward the open gate, the 'light' that Vergil's mother told them. Until...
"Wait a second!" Kagura tried to call on Vergil. He halted for a minute and he turned.
"If we get out of this place, it seems that you'll return into your world, right?" Vergil nodded.
"I was wondering: how can I get back home?" she asked.
Vergil can't even say a thing. Yes, he knows that she is from another world. He wants to help her but he doesn't know what to do, as of the moment.
"Honestly, I don't have an idea." Kagura's eyes went downcast, unsure of any hope. But Vergil touched her right shoulder with his hand.
"Don't worry. We'll find a way for you to get back home. I promise." He tried to assure her.
Kagura formed a smile on her lips as if she was lift up. "Thanks."
"C'mon. Let's go." As they walked forward into the gate...
"Vergil, wait! You're in danger!"
Vergil and Kagura heard a voice. Vergil turned around and he saw a woman. For the Nephilim, the woman who called her was none other than...
"Kat?" Vergil thought. Kagura was surprised a bit on what she saw.
And then someone appeared out of nowhere...
"Hey, Vergil." Kagura turned to on the opposite and he saw a mysterious man behind Vergil then...
The man took out his sword and stabbed him in the chest. And Vergil screamed in pain. Kagura made her jaw open in horror.
"You're not going anywhere." Then the man leaned on his face.
"How does it feel, brother? To be beaten again?"
Vergil heard that voice. It was none other than Dante. For him, that is the second time being stabbed but this was different: he was stabbed in the back. Kagura is loss for words at the moment. She turned on her left and the woman who called on Vergil was nowhere to be found. And looked back to Vergil...
"You! Get the hell out of here!" Vergil called on Kagura.
Kagura was bit surprised when he was called that. But there is no time for such trivial things. She sees Vergil as a companion. "No! I won't leave you!" Kagura tried to refuse.
"Forget about me! You need to get back to your world!" Vergil pleaded while coughing out of blood.
"If I go to your world instead the other way around I don't know what to do!" Kagura argued as tears slowly formed into her eyes.
Vergil tried to reason with her in a desperate way. "My brother can find a way. Please, get out of here!"
The ghostly Dante saw Kagura. "Who is she, your new girl?" He turned on Vergil. "She's cute... and hot. But don't worry; she'll join with you in no time."
Hearing this, Vergil called out the Mermaid Heel mage. "Don't just stand there. GO!"
Kagura clenched her right fist in disgust. She had no choice but to run through the gate but suddenly...
She felt someone have stabbed her, but in the front. She looked down and she saw a sword, embed in her abdomen. As she looked in front, a shock formed in her face. It was a woman and like the mysterious man, she is also a ghostly demonic apparition and she looks like...
"E-Erza...?"
"Just like he said," the ghostly Erza began to speak, referring to the ghostly Dante. "You're not going anywhere." Vergil is in a state of disbelief; he doesn't want Kagura to share the same suffering he is in right now. He made regrets on this.
With her foot, the ghostly Erza kicked the helpless Kagura, falling. The ghostly Dante said to Vergil, "You go to hell... with her." The ghostly Dante took of his sword. Vergil mumbled, "Ka...gura..."
And as they separate from each other, they are falling into nothingness. They entered into each of their own... personal hell.
This is the end of chapter 6. Chapter 7 is up next and still I'm working on future chapters on my story. Thanks for the reviews and all.
See you later, guys!
