R-02: Research Facility
SETTING: Raiden's car, Mexico, July 6, 2026 2018?
Raiden is driving down a Mexican city, wearing a giant sombrero and a poncho that barely hides the fact that he is a cyborg. In the back seat lies some sort of robotic dog.
Vergil looks at the calendar on his phone and sees a different year, but same date. It looks like that portal in Redgrave City led to an alternate timeline 8 years ago!
Vergil: Impossible!
Raiden: What happened, Vergil?
Vergil: This year is 2018?
Raiden: What are you saying? Of course it's 2018.
Vergil: Am I… in a different timeline
Raiden: TIme traveled? You did?
Vergil: I'm from 2026, this is some absurdity!
Raiden: You mean to tell me you're from the future?
Vergil: Yes. 8 years into the foreseeable future.
Raiden: Then how did you end up here?
Vergil: Raiden, I will tell you everything.
Vergil sighs.
Vergil: 3 weeks ago, after countless triumphs, confronting demons, a strange and unknown, yet sudden occurrence of a portal opened up out of nothingness. I walked through and sealed the portal behind me.
Raiden: You sealed the portal? Was it because you were intrigued in this world?
Vergil: Yes. Foolish.
Raiden: Foolish?
Vergil: You got that right.
Raiden: Does that mean you can't return to your world?
Vergil: My sword can create portals. I can come and return to worlds at any given moment.
Raiden: Then why are you still here?
Vergil: You seem to be missing some details from earlier.
Raiden: And that is?- Oh. Wait, nevermind, it just came back to me.
Kevin calls Raiden on codec.
Kevin (via codec): So you've got some kind've disguise lined up, right?
Raiden: Yep, all set.
Kevin (via codec): Hope so. You'd be a little conspicuous just walking the streets.
Raiden: Relax, Kev. I'll blend right in.
Kevin (via codec): Yeah... Well, just get into the sewer system ASAP. Hopefully anyone who notices you will just mind their own business. You sure you want the K-9000 there along for this one?
Raiden: I had the good Doktor make some adjustments along with the repairs. Remote piloting and Al wiping have been disabled. So yeah, I say let's throw him a bone.
K-9000 (waking up): Wordplay: My exoskeleton resembles a canine; canines enjoy bones. Amusing on two levels.
The K-9000 is revealed to be LQ-84i, but with a different look and renamed to "Blade Wolf," or simply "Wolf."
Raiden: Let's go.
Raiden stops the car. Vergil, Raiden, and Wolf exit. Two bystanders watch, one in a black shirt and one in a red shirt.
Black Shirt Guy: ¿Quién es ese güey? [Who is that guy?]
Red Shirt Guy: ¿Un mariachi? No. [A mariachi player? No…]
Black Shirt Guy: ¿Un cyborg? [A cyborg?]
Red Shirt Guy: ¿Ese sombrero qué? [What's with that hat...?]
Raiden goes to the sidewalk and opens the sewer hatch. Blade Wolf and Vergil jump down the hatch, into the sewers. Raiden's car drives away automatically in "Auto Mode"
Raiden: Adiós, amigos. [Goodbye, friends.]
Black Shirt Guy: ¿Viste? [You see that?]
Red Shirt Guy: Qué raro, eh... [What a freak…] Hay que hacer que no lo vimos. [Let's just forget we saw anything.] ¡Vámonos! [Let's go!]
Instead of jumping straight down, Raiden takes the ladder down to the sewers. Raiden calls Kevin on codec.
Raiden: It's Raiden. I'm in the sewer system.
Kevin (via codec): All right, let's get started. Your mission's to investigate the Desperado-affiliated research center somewhere in that area. According to the intel from our client, the lab's been dumping illegal waste into those sewers. FYI, they're also involved with the cartels in human trafficking. Allegedly, anyway.
Raiden: This just gets better and better.
Kevin (via codec): Tell me about it. We need you to infiltrate the lab. and find out everything you can. Of course you'll have to find it first. We still don't know the exact location.
Raiden: So I'm looking for any where the lab might hook up with the sewers?
Kevin (via codec): Yep. If they're actually dumping waste, they've gotta link up somehow. Find that connection, sneak into the lab, and see if you can find evidence implicating them on anything.
Raiden: No problem. Stealth's my specialty.
Kevin (via codec): Right. Well, we'll see.
Raiden: Do we have any idea what kind of research they're doing there?
Kevin (via codec): Not really. Maybe something related to all the people they're trafficking.
Raiden: Like... experimentation?
Kevin (via codec): It's possible. First things first, though: find a way into that lab. Oh, right: says here the locals say "black crocodiles" live in those sewers, so, y'know... Watch out.
Raiden: Black... crocodiles? Could they be talking about UGs?
Kevin (via codec): Maybe just an urban legend, but still... be careful.
Vergil: You're on your own, Raiden. I will take care of some foes for you.
Wolf: I will scout ahead. (to Raiden) You will provide backup.
Raiden: Sir, yes, sir.
Wolf: Commence operation.
Wolf, along with Vergil, take off, scouting ahead. Raiden follows along.
Wolf (via codec): Raiden, unidentified UGs are patrolling the sewers. Exercise caution.
Raiden heads further into the sewers, to see water drops raining from the ceiling behind him. Raiden turns around and encounters a gorilla-like UG, shooting .50 cal bullets at him and utilizing martial art skills.
Kevin (via codec): Better take out that UG quick. Don't wanna attract too much attention down there.
Raiden chops up the gorilla and kills it.
Wolf: I see a maintenance catwalk. Use it to conceal yourself if necessary.
Raiden quietly kills two gorillas by jumping on top of them.
Kevin (via codec): There is the Raiden I know.
Wolf: Raiden. There's a boy in these sewers.
Soon Raiden hears screams. Raiden goes toward the screaming. A hole lies in front of Raiden, where the screams are coming from. It turns out to be a young boy screaming. The boy is attacked by two tripods. Raiden runs down the wall of the hole and slices the tripods into pieces. to him and kills the robots. Raiden faces three bipedal UGs . The UGs seem to be connected and powered by a tripod.
Raiden (to the boy): Get outta here!
Boy: A ninja? Cowabunga! Go ninja, go ninja go-
Raiden: What're you… ¡Huye! (Run!)
THe boy runs and hides. Raiden battles the UGs. HE comes out victorious. Raiden approaches the boy.
Raiden: ¿Estás bien? [Are you okay?]
Boy: Wah yuh say? [What'd you say?]
Raiden: Oh.
Boy: Mi a Guyanese. From Guyana. [I'm Guyanese. From Guyana.] You speak English?
Raiden: Uh, yeah I'm from America. Call me Raiden.
Boy: Mi name George. Like "Georgetown." [My name's George. Like "Georgetown."]
Raiden: George...
George: An just like all dem America president [[And just like all those American presidents.]
Raiden: Yeah. So what are you doing here?
George: Mi? Wuh darass ayu fuh do here? [Me? What the hell are you doing here?] Yuh lose da map a ninja hideout, ninja man? [You lose the map to your ninja hideout, ninja man?]
Raiden: No. I'm looking for bad guys.
George: Ah, dem skunt a research lab. [Oh, those punks at the research lab.]
Raiden: You know about it...?
George: Mi know mi na go back [I know I'm not going back.] Hey... Yun na wan of dem skunt, nah? [Hey... You're not one of those assholes, right?] Nah... I guess yath all night. [No... I guess you're all right] If yuh a cyborg, yuh know who dey is? [If you're a cyborg, do you know who they are?]
Raiden: Sort of. What happened to you?
George: Mi bin live on da street, [I was living on the street,] rake an scrape suh a bobb, nah? [begging for quarters, you know?] Den dis kutnee dress like da mafia say. [Then this creep dressed like the mafia says,] "Hey boi, yuh wan a job?" ["Hey kid, you want a job?"] Wuh da worst gon happen, nah? [What was the worst that could happen?] But da mudda skunt done put mi on a rass boat! [But the motherfucker put me on a damn boat!] Dey pack us all a bigable dutty containah. [They packed us all in a big, dirty container.] Next ting we know, we here. At dat jumby lab. [Next thing we know, we're here. At that messed-up lab.]
Raiden: All kids, like you?
George: Yeah, alotta boi. [Yeah, lots of boys.] But dom wi bin schnar wuh dem skunt wan a do. [But then I ever heard what those punks want to do.] Snuff us out... [They wanna kill us…] en gut all dey organ... [and cut out our organs…]
Raiden: So you ran.
George: Uh-huh. Ise shame mi notta bad-ass robot-ninja-mon same's you. [Man, too bad I'm not some kinda cyborg like you.] Mi bin strongest cyborg ever. [I would've been the strongest cyborg ever.] Walack all dem Phantoms an Black Clothes dat eyepass mi. [Whack all the mafioso and bad guys that mess with me.]
Raiden: Starting to sound like a bad guy yourself.
George: Jus playin', nah? Mi done plenty bad ting, [Just joking, ya know? I've done some bad things,] but mi nah kill no man. Nah, novah. [but I've never killed anybody. Don't want to, either.]
Raiden: Good.
George: Mi try to warn dem boi, I say, [I tried to warn the other boys and say,] "Ayodeste brain will get cut of!" ["All your brains are gonna got cut out!"] "Run yuh rass out a dey!" ["Get your asses out of there!"] But dem bois wi mi no understand. [But the boys with me didn't understand.] Dey like Spanish or some'ting [They were like, Spanish or something.] So mi the only wan fuh escape. [So I was the only one to escape.] Den dey machine come afta mi an- [Then that machine came after me and-]
Raiden: And I know the rest.
Raiden grabs George by the shoulders.
Raiden: George, I need every detail about how you escaped.
George: Oh…
After George tells Raiden what he knows about escaping, Kevin calls Raiden on codec.
Kevin (via codec): So the kid got into the sewers through a drainage channel?
Raiden: Yeah. He says the channel is super tight, but there's some kind of shutter next to it.
Kevin (via codec): Got it. That must be where they dump the waste.
Raiden: There's something else... It sounds like a Desperado exec was on-site yesterday. If a sentry cyborg was on hand for the meeting…
Doktor joins the codec call.
Doktor (via codec): You should be able to review their video log. provided you can find a server-access terminal. That would give us the evidence we need… as well as a little pook at the level of their technology.
Kevin (via codec): So what about the kid?
Raiden: I made sure the area was secure and told him to sit tight. Can Vergil pick him up?
Vergil joins the codec call.
Vergil (via codec): I will attempt to search for that boy named 'George.'
Kevin (via codec): You just focus on getting into that lab. If what he said is true, about the organs... We need to hurry.
Raiden: Agreed. Raiden out.
Vergil is somewhat filled with aghast when he hears about the ongoing situation. Vergil experiences some flashbacks to his childhood, where he lost his mother and father, having only himself to protect, since his brother, Dante, was hiding in a wardrobe. Vergil also has flashbacks of his time as Urizen in the Qliphoth, where Dante told Urizen (Vergil's demon side) that their mother tried to save him too.
Vergil (to self): Dante… was right about that. But this situation is mildly familiar to this. The amount of pain I've caused in my endless pursuit of power, all led to my fight against the Prince of Darkness, then I became… um… did I end up triumphing or being defeated?
Vergil has no recollection of his time as Nelo Angelo, a name and a nightmare forgotten by Vergil by separating himself with the Yamato.
Vergil: How droll of that. This 'brain extract' situation is a huge problem.
Vergil calls Raiden via codec.
Vergil: Raiden, what does the Desperado want with these brains?
Raiden (via codec): They want to remove their free will and serve the Desperado as cyborgs, kind of like servants.
Vergil: Kind of like Mundus the Demon King?
Raiden (via codec): Who?
Vergil: Damnit. Mundus is a demon god who wants to rule over the human world. He is still sealed away from this world. Good going, Dante.
Raiden (via codec): Who the hell is Dante?
Vergil: My younger brother. He hangs out in an office named "Devil May Cry," consuming infinite rations of pizza and sundaes for who knows how long. This is also the reason why Dante is unable to afford the electric bill.
Raiden (via codec): Damn. Your brother must be like that cistern back at the incident with Dolzaev.
Vergil: Foolishness, Raiden. He is a half demon, similar to me. His body is still in shape… somehow.
Raiden (via codec): Okay, enough chitchat. Focus on the mission.
Wolf (via codec): Heavy UG activity ahead, it is possible they are conducting cost operations while the lob is closed.
Kevin (via codec): They're not gonna make it easy to get into that lab... Is there some way you could sneak past?
Raiden explores the sewers and comes across a small room. Raiden finds something useful: A cardboard box.
Kevin (via codec): It's... It's a box. How's that gonna help? Oh, it's for medical supplies? That could work, actually.
Raiden (to self): Snake…
Raiden heads to the exit of the room and stumbles upon more gorilla-like UGs. Raiden uses the box to stealthily destroy the UGs.
Wolf (via codec): Raiden, I have determined the approximate location of the lab based on the boy's information. It is marked on your soliton radar.
Using AR mode and Wolf's approximate location, Raiden discovers a secret entrance to the lab by cutting down a wall.
Kevin (via codec): So, a fake wall projection. Pretty well hidden, I gotta say…
Raiden heads down the hallway. Doktor calls Raiden on codec.
Doktor (via codec): Ah, this would appear to be the UG maintenance area. You should find a terminal there - something they use to upload mission parameters to their UGs.
Raiden: And something I can use to access the lab's main server?
Doktor (via codec): Perhaps. But first you need to take a DOOMP.
Raiden: I… Wait, what?
Doktor (via codec): A DOOMP? A Digital-Optical Output Mounted Proxy. You'll need one to Interface with the terminal. Most any UG should suffice - a Tripod or the like.
Raiden: I'll see what I can come up with. How do I use it?
Doktor (via codec): Simply connect to it. You should be able to use your communications outlay to control the proxy UG.
Raiden: All right, let's give it a shot...
Walking into the next room, Raiden's immediately caught by the guards and UGs because of the disgustingly implemented stealth mechanics.
Kevin (via codec): Raiden, Raiden, Raiden... I thought you said stealth ops were your specialty?
After the fight…
Doktor (via codec): Raiden, if they continue to increase security they may shut out all outside network connections! Please do your best to avoid being seen!
[Raiden walks into the next room and... sees hundreds of brains with eyes fixed in a white structure. The eyes of all brains start looking at Raiden. A soldier's voice comes from the next room.]
Soldier: Find him!
After Raiden takes care of the oncoming soldiers and UGs, Boris calls Raiden on codec.
Boris (via codec): Is it over?
Raiden: For now, yeah. But that room... Those were cyborgs brain casings.
Boris (via codec): Da. [Yes.] We saw.
Raiden: George said they were harvesting tongans from kids.
Boris (via codec): Yes, this must be why they are trafficking children. Perhaps other tongans and being sold elsewhere, but they are definitely taking the brains.
Raiden: Jesus… Are they making these kids into cyborgs?
Kevin joins the codec call.
Kevin (via codec): Wait - the cyborgs you've been fighting... Did they seem like they might be kids? You said earlier that child soldiers have a telltale approach to combat...
Raiden: Yeah, but I didn't see it here. Those weren't kids.
Kevin (via codec): So... what? Desperados just doing the surgeries there?
Raiden: We've gotta do something about all those brains. And the other kids George was talking about... He just escaped a few hours ago - they couldn't have taken all their brains out that fast.
Kevin (via codec): True. There could still be a bunch of kids they haven't touched yet.
Raiden: I better move.
[Raiden finds a tripod, takes something out of it and puts it in his neck. This allows Raiden to control the robot.
Doktor (via codec): Splendid! It is all ours! Now, use it to locate a data-input terminal.
Kevin (via codec): These guys're pretty jumpy now. Any funny business and they might just open fire…
Doktor (via codec): Try latching onto cyborgs' heads from behind. Then, an electric shock should knock thom unconscious.
Raiden, controlling the tripod, knocks all of the cyborgs unconscious. The friendly tripod jumps through an opening to another room, which looks like the terminal room.
Doktor (via codec): That terminal is most likely designed to download mission data and such into the UGs. Let's try using it to access the lab's server.
The tripod takes a USB cord out from its back and inserts it into the terminal.
Doktor (via codec): Raiden, I've found something. In one of the sentry cyborgs' visual logs. Guess who shows up?
Raiden: Patch it through.
Doktor (via codec): Right away.
The footage shows a first-person POV of a soldier walking. The soldier stops and scans his left hand with another's soldier's left hand. The POV soldier replaces the position and the other soldier walks away. The POV soldier stands by another guard. A conversation is heard between two men, walking. A familiar face is seen, one who had an interaction with Vergil: Sundowner.
Sundowner: Then send us what you do have. We've already commenced VR training.
Sundowner's voice is more evil and creepy.
Scientist: The Sears Program?
Sundowner: Yup, same one ol' Georgy-boy used on the kids in Liberia. Of course it's wired straight to the brain now. Feels as real as anything else.
The two men stop walking.
Scientist: Your work is astonishing.
Sundowner: And your work is late. We need to ship before our cover is blown. We've got some assholes snooping around...
Scientist: We just do not have the full quantity yet. Each brain has its own unique requirements. It's not like we can just pop them out with an ice cream scoop.
Next to Sundowner, a man wearing glasses and a suit stands with his back to the men.
Man: All right, you've made your point.
Scientist: Thank you for understanding. Send what you have now. end destroy any unharvested inventory.
Scientist: Qué?! [What?!] But... Have you any idea what they cost?
Man: Last I checked, vagrant children weren't exactly rare in this part of the world. Millions of them, in fact. You can get more once we've set up a new lab. They lead lives of hunger and pain. We're performing a service here - for them, and the cities they burden.
Scientist: But just gathering the donors required a significant investment-
Man: Yes, yes, you'll get the money. Accounting will be in touch.
Scientist: Gracias. [Thank you.] I assure you we will dispose of our inventory the instant we can confirm payment.
Man: Are we done here? I've got a full slate today... Tecumseh is a demanding mistress, and America has suffered long enough.
Scientist: Oh yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Let me see you out.
The footage ends. Raiden calls Kevin on codec.
Raiden: You see that, Kev? N'mani's killer...
Kevin (via codec): Desperado's chief of operations. Goes by Sundowner. The Californian wildfire…
Raiden: The kids...
Kevin (via codec): Think we're too late?
Raiden: Only one way to find out. George was still alive... Maybe the payment hasn't come through yet.
Kevin (via codec): Maybe. But you heard what he said: They've already started some brains on VR training.
Raiden: There must be more than just what I found here... What about the V.I.P. in the suit?
Kevin (via codec): I'll find out. He definitely seemed familiar...
Raiden: Right. I'm going after the kids.
Vergil joins the codec call, while Kevin leaves the codec call.
Vergil: I see you've mentioned Sundowner. I've already taken care of him.
Raiden: Already? He was just talking to the scientist on the footage! You are pretty fast-
Vergil: What are you getting at? He's been dead for three weeks.
Raiden: Vergil, I'm confused. Sundowner's alive and well; we just saw him on the footage!
Vergil, having not seen the footage, watches with shock.
Vergil: Impossible!
Vergil hangs up immediately.
Raiden: What is he even saying?
Vergil: Damn you, Sundowner! I had never predicted you would come back, but how?
Raiden slices more of the soldiers into shards. Courtney calls Raiden on codec.
Courtney (via codec): Bad news, Raiden... We can't find George.
Raiden: What?!
Courtney (via codec): Maybe the coordinates you sent us were off?
Raiden: No way. I merged the GPS location of our entry with all my movement data from that point on.
Courtney (via codec): This is bad.
Raiden: You think they got to him first?
Courtney (via codec): I don't know... I'll have our guys sweep the area.
Raiden: Thanks. I botter keep moving.
The next room is a huge hangar. There, Raiden meets a huge UG that looks like a tractor with an iron shield in front. The robot blocks the narrow passage.
Boris (via codec): The bastard is blocking the way! Push that thing back!
When Raiden manages to push the UG out of a narrow passage with his sword, it switches to a more bipedal stance. The robot is called GRAD.
Boris (via codec): It has switched to biped mode. Careful! It is whole new battle now!
After Raiden slices all the shields and cuts its entire body in two, Kevin calls him on codec.
Kevin (via codec): Raiden! I know I'd seen that guy before! Steven Armstrong. As in Colorado Senator Steven Armstrong. They're already talking about him as a shoo-in for the nomination in 2020. And get this: Two years ago a federal grand jury investigated his ties to a certain private -
Raiden: World Marshal, one of the biggest PMCs out there. I remember.
Kevin (via codec): The biggest, over since the Big Five split up. Not to mention the single largest investor in military cyborg R&D in the world. Guess that answers the question of who's backing Desperado...
Raiden: Marshal and Desperado In Bed Together... Should make for some fun headlines.
Kevin (via codec): Headlines? This is World Marshal and a US Senator we're talking about. There won't be any headlines. Even without the Patriots' filter, no major media outlet will investigate allegations like these. It'd be financial and political suicide.
Raiden: So we just, what? Sit back while they keep carving up kids? Stand aside while they build an army of cyborgs?! You heard them: We shut down one lab, they build another. They're planning something big. Kev - we can't just wait for it to happen. We need to hit 'em first, and hit 'em hard... where it counts...
Kevin (via codec): No. Raiden? No. I know what you're thinking, and... just, no. Colorado is in America, and America has those things called laws.
Raiden: Mm-hmm. And law enforcement in Denver was privatized and farmed out to...
Kevin (via codec): Marshal! Yes! So what?! There are still laws! And it's their headquarters for chrissakes. You'd be heading right into the heart of a raging shitstorm!
Raiden: I didn't say it would be easy. We'll figure it once the kids are safe.
Kevin (via codec): Jesus Chri- Kevin out.
Raiden kills two guards and walks into a room with three large refrigerators. Doktor calls Raiden on codec.
Doktor (via codec): Ah, an artificial-blood cryopreserver. They must have begun preparatory freezing.
Raiden: What do you mean?
Doktor (via codec): That device is filled with synthetic blood plasma. It can slow the metabolism of a harvested organ, circulating this plasma to sustain oxygen levels. You can preserve an arm, a brain - any body part, for several hours.
Raiden: So what are they freezing, and why?
Doktor (via codec): I could not say... Perhaps they plan to sell off the organs of the children they were told to dispose of?
Raiden: Unbelievable...
Doktor (via codec): You had best hurry, Raiden.
Raiden: Right.
Raiden heads to the door on the far right of the room, which leads to what appears to be a testing lab filled with captive children.
Raiden: What?
White gas is beginning to be released into the enclosed area.
Raiden: Shit!
?: Hey, stop right there.
The scientist from security camera footage enters the room. He holds George hostage, pointing a gun to his head.
Raiden: George!
George: Raiden…
Scientist: You've heard of chloroform? A potent anesthetic in smaller doses. But breathe too much of it... And... adios, muchachos. [goodbye, boys.]
Raiden reaches for his sword to break the glass.
Break that glass and I'll blow his brains out. Surrender! Or decide: The needs of the many, or the needs of the few?
George: Raiden... Don worry 'bout me, nah...? [Don't worry about me…]
Scientist: Quiet, pendejo! [asshole!] Surrender! *smiles nasty*) I won't ask again!
Raiden: George. Are you sure...?
George: I'm ready. Mi life no so precious ting [My life isn't such a precious thing.] But if mi can take dis skunt to hell wi mi... [But if I can take this asshole to hell with me]
Scientist: ¡Cállate! [Shut up!]
Raiden slowly pulls out the sword. His voice becomes mocking and impertinent.
Raiden: (laugh) That's all I needed to hear.
He's walking slowly to the scientist.
Scientist (frightened): Stop it... Now! I'll kill him, I swear!
George manages to get out of the scientist's grip and tries to aim the gun away from himself, buying Raiden some time.
George: Now!
Raiden kills the scientist in one single strike of his sword. He breaks the glass with his sword shortly after.
Raiden: Forgive me, George.
Vergil opens a portal to Denver, Colorado using the Yamato.
Vergil: Sundowner…
Vergil walks to World Marshal, killing cyborgs and UGs along the way. Right at the door, Vergil prepares to open the door, ready to attack. A strange and mildly unknown voice calls out to Vergil.
?: Yoo hoo!
Vergil faces the direction of the voice. It appears to be a face Vergil never forgot.
?: There's no need to use violence, devil boy!
Vergil tries to threaten the man with the yamato, but the man slides in front of him.
?: Wait, wait, wait! Better listen to what others say, lad. This door here, is very sturdy *taps the door with his staff* you see? Your tricks will do no good. No good!
Vergil: Get out of my sight.
?: THat could be a problem.. Just hear me out. You've got nothing to lose, right? My name is Jester, and I know a thing or two about this place. That thing there is a power generator for this entire sector.
Jester points to a control panel.
Jester: In order to open the door, you need to apply a little SOMETHING to it first. Do you know what THAT is, Vergil, hmm? Or is that too difficult for you? *laughs maniacally*
Vergil tries to slice Jester with the Yamato, but he disappears.
Vergil: Damn you!
