Author's Notes: So my friends, I'm finally back. It's been half a month since the last chapter that my story has some slow progress due to a number of things that I've been busy around; like I've finally watched Iron Man 3 2 weeks ago and also playing Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker on my brother's PSP, which is really an excellent game. I was thinking if I can make another Fairy Tail crossover fic with Metal Gear Solid; I also have plans on including Metal Gear Rising (even though it was more hack and slash and less stealth) as well. And since I'm a Marvel fan, can't wait to continue my other story.

So folks, here is chapter 8

I don't own Fairy Tail and DmC: Devil May Cry.

Chapter 8: Companion

Vergil is currently standing on the area he was in. As he looked over the place, he heard something. As he turned, she saw a hooded woman who wears casual clothes. He recognized who she was.

"Kat?"

As 'Kat' turned to Vergil, she warned him. "No, Vergil! Stay back!"

Vergil sensed danger when a huge demon. It was bulky and musclebound, with four massive arms and porcelain, doll-like "face" that is actually the covering to its quad-lipped, viciously fanged mouth. It cries a vicious roar as he approaches into the helpless "Kat". Vergil tries to draw his sword, yet he saw that 'Kat' ran away as she was chased by the bulky demon.

'Kat' cried for help. "Vergil, help me, please!"

When he heard this, many things have flooded in Vergil's mind. She was his companion, but in the end he used her as a tool and betrayed her, as so it seems. And a change of heart occurs...

"Kat, I'm coming!" Vergil ran as he wanted to save her from the large demon, but the way was blocked.

"Damnit!" Vergil cursed, meaning that he have to face some demons in the way. It was a group of Stygians emerged from the ground. Vergil turned and his eyes are on the demon horde. He began to unsheathe Yamato with his left thumb of his left hand, bringing up his sword. And in a blink of an eye, he disappeared; it made the Stygians wonder where the Nephilim go. Suddenly, he appeared in the midst of the demon horde; implying that he was surrounded. The demons sees this a chance as two of the Stygians rushed in an attempt to attack Vergil from behind. Be he countered and went on a swift attack with a single slash, killing the two Stygians.

Now 5 Stygians have left; one dashed for the attack but Vergil countered with a side kick. Vergil blocked the incoming attack from one Stygian in front of him. Another Stygian charged from the right side yet Vergil disappeared, teleported away to gain distance. Then some mysterious aura surrounded him as his eyes turned blue. Then Vergil looked down into his sheathed Yamato; it was glowing with blue energy. Through this, he has now access to his angel powers. At last, he had Angel Stance.

Vergil grinned. "Finally..."

Seeing this as an opportunity, Vergil uses his Trick Up move to teleport himself in the air. While in the air, he holds the grip of his sword, charged with angel energy. With a powerful swing, he unleashed a revolving heavy sword filled with angel energy. The two Stygians took the hit; blasting them away. That attack is called the Aerial Flush.

He landed on the ground. He saw the Stygian he kicked earlier tried to recover and with quick speed, Vergil eliminated the demon by stabbing its torso. Now 4 Stygians are left. As he went to a drawing stance, all of the remaining Stygians charged forward to attack. But Vergil anticipated the attack and he unleashed a powerful slash vortex that it turned the Stygians into smithereens. The technique he used is the Judgement Cut Charge, a more powerful version of his Judgement Cut move. He sheathed back his sword. But it's not over yet as he still sensed danger.

Another group of 6 demons appeared from the ground; 3 Stygians and 3 Elite Stygians. As he goes for the quick kill, Vergil channelled his angel energy and gripped the handle of his Yamato. Then he dashed forward and unleashed multiple swings from his sword, left and right. In precision, he hit all the demons swiftly yet deadly, leaving a trail of lightning-quick strikes behind as he sheathes back Yamato, all of the demons were cut in half. The move was called Rapid Slash.

Vergil calmed himself with a deep breath and then the goo that blocked the way is totally gone. Vergil passed through it as he ran forward. Then he looked up and saw 'Kat' still being chased by the bulky demon until both have entered a portal. Vergil had no time to waste as he began to move forward. He saw a floating rock; he dragged it into him using Demon Pull and jumped into the platform. He used an Angel Lift to go on to the cliff. As he stepped on it, he saw another platform; a stairway. He used his Demon Pull again to drag the stairway. When it was done in place, he jumped and uses his Angel Boost to gain distance as he landed safely into the stairway. He ran into it and then he jumped and performs an Angel Lift to reach himself to the bridge where the portal was located. He walked on into the portal but as he tries to enter, a group of little cherub demons appeared in the air. They were similar as the Pathos but their features are gold skin; their abdomen is an open cavity filled with fire, which they shoot explosive charges from. These demons were called Bathos. And they were 5 of them.

Vergil had no choice but to fight them. He quickly killed the three of the 5 Bathos by throwing his Summoned Swords, targeting their heads. Then he Angel Lift himself into to eliminate the remaining Bathos with slashes from his Yamato. As he landed on the ground, he saw a Wisp floating. Vergil narrowed his eyes on his opponent. He didn't fight much back then but this is the right time for him to gain strength, to become stronger.

The Wisp began its move as he attacks with his sharp claws. Vergil evades it as he appeared on the right side of his opponent. Then he throws his Summoned Swords to disable its gaseous state. He used a Demon Pull to drag the Wisp into him and unleashed his Crosscut attack that stagger the Wisp away; and it returned to its gaseous state. For Vergil, it was the same routine, same strategy.

He keeps on attacking using the same methods until the Wisp went berserk. As the Wisp approaches him, Vergil evades its ferocious attacks until the Nephilim gains distance from his enemy. Then Vergil used his Angel Lift to teleport himself into the berserk Wisp; he performs a two-slash combo then connected it with a spinning attack, juggling the Wisp in the air. Then with a finishing strike from his juggle move, the Wisp was shattered into pieces. Afterwards, Vergil landed his feet on the ground. He finally executed his Orbit attack, one of his skill set from his Angel Stance.

Still, more demons appeared. Four Stygians on the ground and 4 Bathos are floating in the air. Seeing this, Vergil turns into his calm composure and he closed his eyes. The demons saw this as a prey, ready to kill the Nephilim. All of the Stygians sneered as all of them charged against Vergil; at the same time, all of the Bathos throws their explosives on the one who is standing.

Then Vergil smirked...

He then appeared near the portal, past on the demons. The Stygians even wondered where he went, as he disappeared in front of them; and so does the Bathos demons. As one of them tried to turn...

BOOM!

An explosion rocked. Two of the Stygians were killed while the other two was blasted away and fell into the abyss. The Bathos demons were also killed since there are Summoned Swords embed in their heads. Then Vergil moved on as he walked into the portal...

Vergil went out into the said portal. And then he turned on the left side and he saw another portal from the distance. In order to get there, he needs to move forward. But there are two pathways in front of him: one on the left and one on the right. But he chose to go on the right.

He saw two faint white lights in his direction; one from a cliff and the other is from one platform, which is a part of a bridge so he used his Angel Lift to lift himself into the first white light, then he performed a second Angel Lift to reach the floating bridge platform. As he stepped into the bridge platform, haw a floating rock with a faint red light glowing. Through this, he used the Demon Pull to drag the platform onto him; he used an Angel Boost jump to reach the platform, thus, he landed safely into the ground. He saw another glowing white light, using his Angel Lift again for the third time and used Angel Boost to reach the next platform. Then he jumped and Angel Boost into the next one. As he continued to run, he saw another glowing white light, but there is something different: it also had a greenish aura.

Vergil tries to throw his angelic Summoned Sword into the glowing bluish white light, performing his Angel Lift but as he went into the greenish aura, he made a Super Angel Boost from it, dashing forward to the next pathway in front of him. Then he landed safely.

"Alright, there is no turning back." Vergil mumbled.

He continued to run into the pathway which it consists of ruined and twisted buildings; an arc is also present. He saw two bluish lights with greenish aura, the same ones that he saw moments ago. As he continued to run, he throws his angelic Summoned Sword for the second time to perform and Angel Lift; he made a Super Angel Boost and dashed forward into the next greenish blue light. He went through it and made another Super Angel Boost to reach a platform, and he succeeded.

Finally, he saw the second portal. As he began to walk towards it, a demon appeared in front. And it was a Ravager. Vergil did not waste time as he goes for the kill: he parried the Ravager's chainsaw attack and stabbed in the chest after he saw an opening. Then he made a slash attack, killing the Ravager.

Another group of demons emerged from the ground; this time, it was the Stygians and they are five of them. Three of them charged forward on Vergil. The Nephilim parried one of the Stygian's attack using his sheathed Yamato. The other Stygian on the right tried a slash attack but Vergil teleported and went from behind. As Vergil went on a drawing stance and unsheathes his angel energy-charged Yamato, he performs a spiralling attack, hitting the three Stygians with multiple strikes from his sword. He executed the Flare attack in succession, killing the three Stygians. As he sheathes back Yamato, he sets his eyes on the remaining Stygians..

Vergil dashed forward with quick speed and as he unsheathes his sword, he slashed one Stygian and slashed the other, killing them both. He sheathes back his Yamato, but cringed for a bit when two Ravagers emerged from the ground. Vergil sets his eyes on the demons with chainsaws...

And one of them went berserk as it goes for the chainsaw attack. The berserk Ravager ran forward against Vergil but evades its charge by teleporting on the right side. He saw the other Ravager standing; he teleported forward and used his Upperslash to lift the said Ravager and himself into the air. While both in the air, Vergil hit the helpless Ravager with his Aerial Rave combo that sends the Ravager into the ground, then performs the Aerial Flush move. It hits the Ravager and due to the force of Vergil's attack, it fell into the abyss.

As Vergil landed on the ground safely, he noticed that one Ravager is behind him, with its revved up chainsaw raised up high; then Vergil evaded the Ravager's attack and went behind the demon. With two quick slashes from his Yamato, he quickly killed the remaining Ravager.

Satisfied that his work is done here, he sheathed back his sword. Then he entered into the portal. As he was inside the vortex, he heard a voice...

"Oh god... aahh, Vergil! Where are you?"

As Vergil went out of the portal, he is finally that he was in a different location. He was inside between two buildings and a very wide gap. Then he saw a portal from his distance, but he also noticed the gap, which he will fall to death if he jumped on it. But he saw three faint whitish blue lights, indicating that he should use his Angel Lift to get across into it.

He used the Angel Lift ability three times to get into the three lights and did it successfully as he finally reached to the area where the portal was located: it was in the centre of a circular platform. He used his Angel Boost to glide himself forward. As he landed safely, he saw the bulky demon on the chase for Kat. As the hulking demon tried to catch Kat, Vergil shouted on the demon.

"Over here!"

As the said demon turned, Kat made her way of escape into the portal. The demon roared and crushed the circular platform and as it formed cracks, it crumbled and it became half. Good thing that the portal is still there. And the bulky demon went into the portal.

Vergil was alone yet suddenly, 3 Bathos appeared but this time, they wield shields. They began to throw explosives on the ground. He began to stay by teleporting himself far from them as they explode. Seeing this as an opening, Vergil throws 3 demonic Summoned Swords, performing successive Demon Pulls on the 3 Bathos, taking out their shields. Next, he throws three angelic Summoned Swords as he uses Angel Lift to lift himself into his opponents, killing them one by one. But his job is not over as more demons appeared in the air. Not only another group of 3 Bathos floating but also two Wisps. Their eyes are on their prey. But Vergil won't back down.

Same strategy is an option for Vergil. As he observed the Wisps, he realized that they are only fast when they attack, they can be defeated with a number of hits and they were dangerous when they go berserk. So he intended to focus on the Bathos since they are easy to kill. And he got a plan...

He began to throw 3 demonic Summoned Swords on the cherub-like demons, beginning to perform a Demon Pull. The 3 Bathos were hit by the demonic Summoned Swords and as they were 'dragged' into Vergil, the Nephilim quickly made a slash attack that kills all the three Bathos in one swoop. Now he turned his attention to the two Wisps.

Vergil goes for the first move as he throws his Summoned Swords on the two Wisps. Then he went on his drawing stance as he gathers demonic energy from his Yamato. As he remains on his drawing stance, then he throws two demonic Summoned Swords to drag the two Wisps onto him. He draws out his Yamato as he made a slash vortex on the Wisps, performing a Judgment Cut. Both Wisps stagger, taking much damage but not only they went into a gaseous state but also went berserk at the same time. Vergil noticed that even they are dangerous in berserk mode; the Wisps are now weaker in defense.

Vergil began to use Angel Lift as he lifts himself into one berserk Wisp. In the air, Vergil began to attack with two hits from his Yamato and connects it with his Orbit move. It staggers the Wisp away and as he landed to the ground, Vergil throws 3 Summoned Swords on the 3 vital parts of the Wisp: two on the chest and one on the head. The Wisp was defeated as it shattered into pieces. Now one Wisp is left to kill.

Vergil never hesitates as he Demon Pulls the remaining Wisp into him and attacks the demon with his Slasher attack; then it staggers the demon and went into its gaseous state once again. Vergil didn't stop as he continues his assault; Demon Pull and slash attacks with his Crosscut move. The Wisp went on its berserker mode yet Vergil is still cautious as always. As the Wisp floats forward onto Vergil, he evades its claw attack and went behind. He throws his angelic Summoned Sword, using his Angel Lift and kills the Wisp using his 3-hit Aerial Rave. He landed safely on the ground, sheaths his Yamato, and takes a deep breath that it relieves the stress. And he headed to the portal.

"AAAAAAH! Get away from me!"

As he stepped out of the portal, he went into a different location. There are many floating rocks ahead, but he also saw a building at the end; it was a church-like structure. He even saw that rocks are falling from the sky like a meteor, crashing down to any floating platform. In order to get to the church-like structure, he needs to get across through the floating rocks and dodge any meteor-like stone crashing down...

Vergil ran, jumped and dodged all the way in until he made his way into the stairway. But a meteor-like rock crashed down and it destroyed the stairway. Yet he saw a faint bluish white light and performs an Angel Lift to get across the church-like structure. He finally made it.

He saw tombstones along the way as he went on toward the open door to enter inside. But it was closed as Vergil encountered 4 Stygians in front of him. One the Stygians made the first move but Vergil blocked its attack and countered with an elbow to the demon's chest, staggering the Stygian away. The other 3 charged in and as they went on for the attack, Vergil teleported as appeared behind them as he floats in the air, in his drawing stance. While in drawing stance, he telepathically throws 3 Summoned Swords on the three Stygians, hitting their heads and finishes them with one hit with his Aerial Flush attack. As he began to fall down, he turned from his back and saw the Stygian that he attacked earlier. In a moment, Vergil uses Helm Breaker, cutting the Stygian in half.

As he sheathes back his sword, more enemies emerged but this time; there are two Ravagers, two Stygians, and one Wisp. This can be a hard time for Vergil, but what matters is get the job done. He charged forward and jumped high past into the crowd of demons then he performs an Angel Lift to get into the floating Wisp and at the same time, disabling the Wisp's gaseous form. He unsheathes his Yamato and performs a combo using a 2-hit slash then finishes the combo with an Orbit. And it staggers the Wisp away.

Vergil landed on the ground and he sets his sights on beating the demon crowd. He began throwing Summoned Swords on the demons, hitting their vital parts. Then while Vergil made his charge, one Stygian tries to attack him but the Nephilim stepped on its head as he jumped in the air and landed on the ground, being surrounded by the demon crowd. The demon scum saw this as a chance to finish the Nephilim, but Vergil maintains his confidence as he is still in his drawing stance, gathering angelic energy. As the demons began their assault, Vergil made an upward spiral launching attack that also launches the attacking demons, also killing them with only three strikes due to the sheer power of the said move. He eliminated them through his Rising Star move.

As he landed into the ground, he saw that the Wisp is the only demon left. He throws a couple of Summoned Swords on the Wisp, again disabling its gaseous form. Then he performs Angel Lift and uses his Orbit move the second time around. It staggered the Wisp away but Vergil used Demon Pull to pull the Wisp to him, still disabling its gaseous state and went on his Slasher attack. The Wisp received the damage yet it went berserk. The Wisp went on its furious attack with its claws; Vergil successfully blocked the Wisp's fury but he staggered a bit due to the demon's powerful blows. When the Wisp tried to strike Vergil again, the swordsman evade its attack and went into the right side. Seeing an opening, Vergil dashed forward and attacks with a Crosscut. And it ultimately defeats the Wisp.

Vergil is now relieved that this is over, as he sheathes his Yamato back. He began to move towards the door. 'Kat, here I come...'

But something unexpected is going to happen...

Author's Notes: So this is the end of chapter 8.

The whole chapter was based on the whole Mission 2 of the Vergil's Downfall DLC with an exception: the last part where Vergil has finally found Kat. But I will make some changes on that scene.

The next chapter is a Kagura-centric one, which she will have her own journey in order to gain power. But she will not fall into corruption but she will also have internal struggles, just like I've mentioned in the last chapter. There is a possibility that Kagura-centric chapters can have 2-parters so I can focus on more battles and more character development for her.

Please read and review. I'll see you later, guys.
