Ch 1 Promise between Devils
It was a terrible time to be an angel, devil and fallen angel. A Great War has broken out between three factions. The War has been going on for centuries with no signs of it ending. In addition, a new threat arises, The Red Dragon and The White Dragon appear and begin to battle each other causing chaos and destruction to the factions as they fight. Unknown to most, a third unknown dragon enters the bout with the red and white-the three factions.
"This is unheard of, Dragons fighting over some pity nonsense, while the fate of the world hangs in the balance?" One leader expressed.
"It's difficult enough to deal with a dragon as it is. Even more so, it's those two and this unknown larger one." another's leader expressed."
"If this continues all worlds will be left as wasted land. We can't allow this to happen."
"Let's call a temporary cease fire and deal with the dragons." one leader suggested.
The others nod in agreement.
"What about the unknown Dragon? We can deal with the other two, however that one will pick us off while attacking the other two. Does anyone have a capable warrior for such a task?" Another Leader asked.
"My Lord, I shall go and hold off this unknown Dragon." One of the Leader's top commander volunteered for the job.
"Oh, how very rare for you to volunteer. Very well then, go forth and hold off the other dragon while we deal with the other two."
"Yes, Lord Lucifer, I shall bring you great results"
"I expect great things from you.. Sparda."
Sparda, Lucifer greatest swordsman in the Demon world and one of the 72 original demon families and overseer is dispatched to handle the unknown dragon. Sparda and his forces managed to separate the unknown Dragon from the other two. Lucifer and the other factions began their battle with the remaining dragons.
Meanwhile, Mundus the Prince of Darkness is plotting to take over the Demon world and soon the human. Mundus is also one of the original 72 Demon families, has gathered 52 of the 72 demon families along with many other factions, while Lucifer King of the Demon World and others are at war. In the Demon world power and strength are heavily influenced in the society of demons. Mundus was close to the king of hell and was also a candidate for the throne.
It has been several days of holding off the unknown dragon. Most of Sparda's forces were wiped out by the red and white while separating larger dragons.
"This dragon is no ordinary one. It uses magic we have not seen before and its power surpasses the red and white one. It also displays great intelligence and tactics on the battlefield. You could almost say its similar to Great Red. Remarkable." Sparda noted.
"My Lord, we can't hold out much longer against the dragon."
"My Lord, the dragon has returned, we must act quickly!"
"Take the injured back to the main force to receive medical treatment and a few others to guard them on the way back. The rest will stay and hold off the dragon."
Sparda- The demon that will change the world and become a legend
The dragon appeared on the opposite side of the battlefield. It was incredibly massive, its scales were beautifully jet black and dark purple hair that glitter like the night sky. It had large black wings on it's back for flying and was on its claws and feet readying itself. It noticed that some of the forces were retreating. After a closer observation, most of the soldiers weren't able to fight, so it let them be. From its perspective there is no point fighting something that can't even fight back. It simply waited on the Sparda forces.
"It actually waited, whereas other dragons would have attacked the retreating soldiers. Interesting." Sparda noted.
*Hals's Child Unchained- MGSTPP ost cue*
The battlefield is set and ready. Sparta's army opens fire with a barrage of magical beams and shots. The dragon stretched out its wings and formed a shield in front of it with a magical barrier on top of it. A smoke screen appeared from all the shots being fired. The dragon cleared away the smoke and was glowing suddenly and charged forward. The army fired a larger barrage of magical energry, which slowed the dragon. Closing in on the army and suddenly a magical circle appeared underneath it, restricting movement with a barrier, but it won't hold it very long. A group of mages formed around the dragon, began chanting magic spells, and large chains came out. The chains wrap around the neck, arms and feet. The next moment the dragon let's a massive roar that knocked everyone in the vicinity off their feet. The ones that were closer were stunned. The mages try to regain their composure and start chanting to resume the hold. However, before they could do anything, there was a bright flash from the dragon. In the next moment, the dragon was nowhere to be seen. The dragon appeared on the opposite side again, this time it wasn't glowing like it was before. The army charged towards the dragon. The dragon raises one of its claws as if to point at something. An incredibly dense dark blue magical energy forms at the tip of the claw. As if it was tracing something, it made a horizontal line about the length of the charging army. More dense magical sphere formed. Seconds later, a massive amount of magical energy barrages the army. The army was out cold and only Sparda remained standing.
"This dragon has proven to be quite troublesome." Sparda stated.
Afterwards Sparda went into his Devil form. The dragon began to move to toward Sparda casually, while still keeping some distance. Sparda standing calm and composed while holding his sword by the handle and the tip of the blade was planted in the ground and a katana on his side. Sparda began to power up while still in keeping his pose. The dragon could feel this demon's power was different from others that it faces in the past and knew he would be a worthy opponent. The dragon let out a smirk, Riased its claw that was covered in magic and waved it. All the bodies that were on the battlefield have disappeared. The dragon has cleared the battlefield of all distractions. It simply transported them back to where the other forces were. Then the next moment the dragon ponce backwards and let out a thunderous roar. Blue Thunder and lightning began to flash around the area viciously. A couple of them landed on the dragon, but there weren't hurting it, more like giving it a boost of some kind. The dragon now was cracking with energy around its body. Sparda had taken a battle stance. Both being we set and ready to fight. Sparda had battle the dragon for serveal days now, both covered in cuts and bruises. Sparda had planned to wear the dragon out and then move to capture or seal it. However, the task proved to be more challenging than he initially thought, but it was not outside his expectations. The battle continues. The dragon took a stance and several magic sphere appeared and were fired off. Sparda charged forward with both swords in hand began cutting through the magical barrage. While closing in, Sparda jumps, spinning like a log and delivers a downward slash, hitting the dragon at angle. A clean hit. The dragon uses it tail to attack, Sparda jumps out the way, only to be by a thunder bolt from the back. The dragon charges forward and rams it head into Sparda, sending backwards into a wall. After hitting the rock wall, Sparda lands back on the ground, one knee touching the ground and starts to breathe heavily. The dragon is also breathing heavily after that last attack. The next attack will be the last for both opponents. Sparda sheaths his katana and takes his stance, holding his sword behind him, it begins to glow and crackle with red and black demonic power. The dragon let out a roar vicious enough to disrupt the surrounding area. Mountains were falling apart, the ground was splitting apart in some areas and thunder and lightning flashing around the area. What looked like a barrier expanded and changed colors, purple, blue, green, yellow and red, then condensed back in front of the dragon's open mouth. A massive amount of energy formed into a ball, giving off a black and purple aura. They finish charging their attack, Sparda swings his sword in three different angles releasing a dense and massive slashed energy and the last motion was a forward thrust, a massive beam leaving the sword. On the opposite side, the dragons attacked, condense and fired off. The two massive energies collide and their massive explosion.
A massive crater is left and debris still falling after the explosion. Sparada rises from the fallen debris, cuts, bruises and raggedy. He was also out of Devil Form and breathing heavy. The Dragon blasted the debris off it and was slightly breathing heavy. Sprada notice the dragon heavy breathing and began a chant to restrict its movement. The dragon, notice this and smack a large boulder towards Sparda. It successful disrupt the chant, began to move in towards. Sparda dodge and then use his demonic power to create a smokescreen. The dragon stopped in its tracks and search for Sparda. It then used its wings to blow away the smokescreen Sparda had created. The distraction bought him enough to summon chains to restrict the dragons. Sparda then used another spell to keep it from moving. Sparda has restrained the dragon. He then sends a familiar out to inform the King about his completed tasked. Sparda now exhausted and nearly out off power, fell backward onto a rock wall. He looked up and saw the dragon was not moving.
"Finally, a moment's rest." while catching his breath.
Then suddenly the dragon disappeared from within the barrier. Only the chains and magic circle remained inside the barrier.
"You gotta be kidding me!"
"Got to say, for a demon you got some skills." Mysterious voice stated.
"Who's there, show yourself." Demanded Sparda
"As you wish." The voice responded.
Then suddenly the dragon appeared at a distance in front of him. Sparda was getting ready to prepare another spell when suddenly
"Don't bother with that spell, you don't have enough power for it. If I wanted to end you, I would have done it when you sent your familiar out." Dragon Stated
"The dragon speaks? Well, given how powerful it is, it wouldn't be surprising." Shocked Sparda stated.
"it's only natural once a dragon reaches a certain level." The dragon stated
"Tsk, dammit." Sparda is irritated.
"So what now, are you going to talk me to death or finish me off? I'd prefer that later if that is the case."
"No need for that either, something more pressing is at hand. As you will find out soon enough." she stated.
"What could that possibly be?" Sparda asked.
A moment later, the familiar he sent out had returned.
"Lord Sparda, I bring news from the main forces. The red and white have been defeated after a long battle. Their spirit form has been chopped to pieces and scattered throughout the human world." Familiar state.
"Well at least that battle is over." He signed relief.
"Also, the two leaders: Heaven and Hell have been slain by the dragons." The familiar had continued.
Sparda was in shock after receiving the news. Still trying to process the news he received.
Sparda knew with the King of Hell slain, a new king must take his place soon. The same could be said for heaven. Only the higher ups have been made aware of the death of their king, Sparda being one of them, knowing there will soon be very troublesome times ahead. Some of the other demon families will try to use this opportunity to claim the throne once they discover this news. Sparda, still thinking, forgot he was in the middle of a conversation with the dragon.
"So what news does the familiar bring you?" The dragon asked.
"Our king and god have been slain by the red and white dragon." He informed the dragon.
"Seriously! Tch! Those foolish dragons have really done it this time. You can expect a shift in power once you and the rest of the demons return home." The dragon informed Sparda.
"Well, this is to be expected with the king gone, you can bet there will be a power struggle for the throne and possibly a civil war." Sparda pointed out.
"On behalf of the dragons, I offer my sincere apology from the dragon race. I offer you my assistance in correcting the error of the red and white dragon has caused you and your people." The dragon bowed its head.
"Eh? Are you sure? Dragons usually don't even bother with other races or creatures." surprise Sparda.
"True, in most cases, however after what has happened, it's better we correct this major problem, wouldn't you agree?" the dragon pointed out.
"True, having an allied dragon of your caliber is very reassuring. Very well, I accept your proposals, I look forward to working with you O Great and Powerful Dragon." Sparda said in formal and playful manner
"Flattery will get you nowhere, but keep the praises coming O Dark Knight. No need to be so formal." The dragon stated in a playful tone.
"By the way, what do you plan to do from here?" asked Sparda.
"I'll reside at your place and recover my power. Do worry, it's easy to blend in with demons, so it won't be an issue." Informed the dragon.
"That's fine, there's plenty of rooms at my house, so make yourself comfortable. By the way, what kind dragon are you?" he asked
"I am the Black Dragon, feared by all dragons and also known as the Grim Reaper of Dragons."
"Holy Shit! I was something like this, no wonder the other leaders were so concerned. "a surprise Sparda
"Well, only the kings of the other faction would be aware of my existence." Proudly stated the Black Dragon.
"I see, Grim Reaper huh. Well we better get going."
Sparda was able to form a truce after a long fight and make an alliance with the Black Dragon.
The balance of power has deteriorated on all sides. It would be the perfect opportunity to seize power during this time of chaos in the demon world. Many months have passed and Mundas makes his claim as emperor, then takes over Demon World. Now that he has control over the Demon world and his forces are slowly invading the Human world. Those who refused to join were slain and their entire family were wiped out, the Sparda Household also suffered heavy losses. The few demon families that could oppose Mundas formed alliances and battled to control the Demon world. Unfortunately, their resistance was nothing in the eyes of the emperor. After Mundas's crushing the resistance, none would defy Mundus.
After some time passed, Sparda took up his sword and battle with Mundas and his forces. Here the Legend of the Dark Knight Sparda was born. After crushing Mundas armies, Sparda defeats Mundas and seals him away on the far side of the Demon world, a very dangerous environment and wildlife. Remnants of Mundus' army were still lingering around and were making bolder and more aggressive tactics as time went on. Gremory had suggest that Sparda leave the Demon World and hide out in the Human world because it was becoming more dangerous. Many of the remnants hated Sparda and deemed him a traitor, while noble families priased and thanked Sparda. The remaining demon families took up their arms and drove the remnants of Mundus army out of their territories. Sparda leaves for the Human world and seals the entry to Demon world long enough for the noble families to drive out the remnant armies. Before sealing the Demon world, Sparda informed Gremory a method to stay in contact and visit him while he stayed in the Human world.
"I'll keep an eye on things here in the human world. Here is a method in which we will stay connected." Sparda explained.
"Thank you, my friend, we will meet again once things settle down in the Demon world. You have become a legend in the eyes of humans and demons. Loved by the humans and hated by Munda's army along with those who sided with him." Gremory stated in a joking manner.
"Well, can't say I blame them, oh well. It's about time we parted ways. Oh don't forget about our bet, you better hold up to it." Sparda jokes
"Don't worry, I'll see this one through." Gremory stated.
They parted ways from there, sealing the main portal to the human world. Years go by and Sparta has a family and new life, and still keeping tabs on the Demon world. Then Sparda had passed away, leaving behind his family and friends. Before he passed away, he gave them a magical amulet with magical abilities and a katana called Yamato. The Yamato could cut through anything including time and space, it holds the power of a Death God in it. A Demon who fought for justice, died as a man.
Occasionally they would be visited by the Gremory family from the Demon World. One trip they brought two young girls with them during their visit. One girl had a red dress with crimson hair that came down to her shoulders and blue eyes. The other girl had a yellow dress, jet-black hair that came down to her shoulder and light pink eyes. The two girls explore the house. They came across a window that had a view to an open garden outside. They saw a boy practicing his swordsmanship with the Head Maid. He had white hair, black long sleeve shirt, a silver amulet around his neck, gray shorts and boots. The head maid had black neatly tied up in a bun and silver reading glasses. The Head Maid was going over swordsmanship. The Head Maid gave guidance to the boy and toward the end of lesson, the two would spare. It began to rain, but that did not hinder the lesson. The two girls watched from the window, they saw a spectacular view of the spar while it rained. It was like a magical barrier formed above them, blocking the rain around them. After a final clash, the imaginary barrier disappeared, and the rain came down on them. They took a few steps back and sheathed their wooden swords in a samurai manner.
"You've made excellent progress, you will make an outstanding swordsman in your future young master." Head Maid praising.
"It is thanks to your guidance that I've made this far." Young Master stated.
"Ara, I see our guests have arrived, let's not keep them waiting." Spotting the girls at the window.
The young master nodded in acknowledgement. They leave the garden and head inside. The two girls were discussing the amazing swordsmanship they just witnessed. The Head Maid now dried off greets the two girls and thanks them for their praise. The young master had finished drying off, throws the towel over his shoulder and grabs a book with a V on the cover. He makes his way over to where the Head Maid and the girls are at.
"Young Master, I've kept them company while waiting for you, please introduce yourself." She said with a smile and took his used towel.
"Thank you, Head Maid. I am Vergil, Son of Sparda and the next head of the family. I hope you enjoy your visit here. " As he bowed in a gentlemanly fashion, one arm crossed the chest touching the shoulder and the other place behind his back.
Vergil Sparda-A youth living in his father's shadow.
The two girls look and introduce themselves..
"I'm Rias Gremory of the Gremory house. I'll be in your care." Rias said while slightly lifting her dress and bowling.
"I'm Hijime Akeno, servant of Rias, I will also be in your care." Akeno stated as she also bowed in a noble fashion.
"Now that the introduction has been made, I'll take my leave young master." She said with a smile.
"Eh? You're not staying Head Maid?" Vergil was slightly shocked.
"Young Master, this is part of your training. One must expand on social interaction, especially with the ladies. Other than your mother, myself and the maids, you had very little interaction with the opposite gender." She chuckled, as she made a very good point.
"Tch, you do bring up a good point. Very well, I shall accompany our guest." Vergil stated.
"Not good, what the hell do I do or say." Vergil thought to himself.
"I'll be expecting to hear good things from you later on." The Head Maid stated as she walked away smiling.
" Young Master, this is for your own good. If you don't overcome this now, it will be a problem for you in the future." She said to herself.
The three began to walk down a hall leading to the outside, as it slowly began to stop raining.
" So you're the son of the Legendary Dark Knight we heard about? " Akeno asked
"Indeed I am. One day I want to be a knight just like my father." Vergil stated proudly.
"That's so cool." Akeno with an amazed expression.
The three continue to walk and talk down the hall, talking about different subjects. Then they entered the library. There was one table with a chest board on it.
"Hey Vergil, want to play a game of chess?" Rias asked in an energetic manner.
" I'm up for a game." Vergil replied
They played a few rounds only to end in a draw each time.
"One more round!" Rias request
" Well play again tomorrow, let's go for a walk outside in the garden." Vergil suggested.
The two girls agreed and the three of them headed outside. As the days went on, they spent more time together. Vergil took a liking to Akeno and Rias. He would read his book under a tree while the girls would pick flowers. Some days Vergil would help Rias with chess strategy, when she gets older she wants to compete in the rating games. A few times the girls would watch Vergil train with Head Maid. Akeno would give some minor pointers when he was sparring. Vergil chuckled and took her advice into consideration. One night Vergil was walking down the hall with his mother Eve when she asked him an interesting question.
"Vergil, what do you think of Akeno and Rias?" she asked out of the blue.
"Eh? Ah… I think they both are wonderful and have a bright future." Vergil answered
"Hmm, not a bad answer, but what I'm getting at is would you take them for a bride." She chuckled.
*Crazy*
"Haa? A bride? I haven't thought that far ahead. Well.. if they are not opposed to the idea, I don't mind. However, I would need to be strong enough to protect them both." He replied
"Oh, Sparda, our boy is going to be a responsible man when he gets older. I wish you were here to see this wonderful moment in our son's life." Eve said with tears in her eyes.
"Mother." Vergil said with an annoyed expression.
"Vergil, it's important to express your feelings to the woman you like or love, especially when they ask you 'how do you view them'. Oh, and don't keep them waiting long. '' she explained.
"I will be sure to give them a proper answer when that time comes." He explained to her.
"Good. Oh here, for when that time does come." As she gave him her amulet.
"Mother! Are you sure about this?" shocked Vergil
"It's fine, both are worthy in my eyes. Just make sure you take care of them. Understand?" as she smiled.
"I will mother. I will put my pride and honor on it." He proclaimed
"My little Dark Knight." She chuckled.
The next day Vergil, Akeno and Rias were outside in the garden. Vergil was practicing his sword strikes and movement and Akeno and Rias were having a girl talk. He didn't understand most of the things they were talking about, so he continued to focus on his techniques. He assumed a quick draw stance and just as he was about to perform his new technique he was working on, when suddenly he was asked a familiar question.
"Hey Vergil, which of us would you take for a bride, Rias or me?" Akeno asked.
Vergil lost complete concentration and messed up his technique.
*Not Slacking are you?*
"Haa? Why do I get the feeling someone put them up to this. Well it's not like I'm opposed to the idea and mother approves of them both. I must properly answer her question." He thought to himself.
"What a silly question, but an important question. I'm taking both of you." He declared.
"Eh?" both had a shocked and confused expression.
"We spent so much time together, it would be wrong to choose one over the other, knowing they both have feelings for me. I like you both. That is how it is." Vergil informed them.
*City Ruin(Ray of Light)l-Nier Automata*
They both began to have teary eyes. Akeno and Rias jump and hug Vergil, knocking him over and pinning in the process.
"Jackpot." He said with a smile
While pinned he looked at both of them and passed his hand through their hair.
"Beautiful red hair and jet black hair. Oi, who taught you about pinning people on the ground?" Vergil smirking.
"Ehehe, hair white as the snow and eyes deep like the ocean waters. When you say such manly things, I can't help but want to attack you like this." Akeno chuckling while teasing Vergil.
"No going back on your word. I'll have you take responsibility for your words." Rias chuckled."
"We'll have to keep a close eye on you, just to make sure you don't say these kinds of things to other girls." Akeno turned Vergil face to her, to show how serious she was.
"Hoo, A Son of Sparda doesn't go back on his word." Vergil commented as he stood up and helped them up.
Vergil took out his mothers amulet that his mother gave him and placed it around Akeno's neck. He turns to Rias and gave her one of his favorite book by William Blake, that reads with the V on the cover.
"Hold on to this for me." Vergil said after giving them their gifts.
"Eh? This is very important to you." Akeno was surprised and shocked.
"This is a one of a kind." Rias stated.
"That is why I'm giving this to you both." Vergil replied.
They looked at the items they just received, then they kissed Vergil on the cheek.
"Wha- Wha- what was that?" a shocked and blushing Vergil question
"I expect a proper kiss from you when we are older." Akeno chuckled.
"Don't keep us waiting." Rias smiled.
"Good grief, what troublesome but interesting ladies we have here. Very well, I'll be sure to return a proper kiss to the both of you." Vergil regains his composure.
The next day, Gremory's family were preparing to head back to the demon world. Eve had instructed the head maid to escort them back. It was a sad moment for the three. Before they left Rias had asked Vergil a question.
"Hey Vergil, if I'm ever in trouble, would you come and save me?" Rias asked.
"Naturally, yes." Without hesitation Vergil told her as he smiled.
"Is it only Rias?" Akeno asked with pouting face.
"The same applies for you as well."
Akeno smiled at Vergil.
"Don't you dare forget us, if you do, I'll just have to remind you. You belong to us." Akeno declared and chuckled.
"Well, if it's you two, then it's not a bad deal." Vergil chuckled and shrugged.
Vergil hugs both Akeno and Rias and leaves them with a few parting words while wiping their tears.
"Devils never cry. Tears are a gift for the humans. Don't be sad. I've left parting gifts for you both. Just think of me when you see them. Carry that with you, wherever you go. Until we meet again." Vergil tells them.
The Head Maid gave her parting words and escorted them to the Demon World and they were gone. Eve came up behind Vergil and gave him a hug of encouragement.
"I will go outside and get some fresh air." Vergil tells Eve.
"Okay, dinner will be at the usual time." Eve replies.
Vergil grabs his wooden sword and goes outside to go practice his swordsmanship.
Vergil was on the far side of the garden practicing. Each strike let out a small gust of wind. He continued practicing until he was satisfied. After reaching a good stopping point, he sat down and reflected on recent events and future events. Vergil knew he needed to get stronger in order to protect the things that are important to him. He wanted to be strong like his father, so that is what he will strive for. Then suddenly there was an explosion. Vergil turns around and sees that his home is on fire.
Wasting no time, he heads back to manor. Upon reaching the manor, he noticed the servants had been brutally killed. The servants are human, they have no way to defend themselves against the demons.
"Demons? How did they find us?" He hears a scream and heads off in that direction. He reached the area, only to witness the aftermath of more servants being slain.
"I must find my mother and leave this place quickly." He thought to himself.
Then he hears a voice calling for him in the distance. Vergil headed in that direction of the main lobby near the entrance. As he got closer he recognized it as his mother and made haste. They finally meet up.
"Vergil, the demons have found us." Eve informed him
"Mother, it's not safe here, we have to get out of here." He replied.
"Lesser demons and a lot of them." He noted.
Shortly after, a horde of demons appeared and surrounded them and blocked the entrance and exits. Vergil knew what he had to do at that point. He picked up his wooden sword and made his move.
"I'll clear a path for us." Vergil told his mother.
While he was talking to his mother, the demons charged at Vergil. Swinging his sword, their heads came off. Another group came charging in, this time towards Eve. Vergil intercepts, hits one in the gut with the hilt and knocks the rest of them back into the other lesser demons. He continued to slash away at the Demon, but more kept coming through the hallway. The wooden sword he was using finally broke. Vergil looked at it and tossed it aside. He extended his hand to the side and Yamato appeared in his hand. Then he unsheathed it and sliced through the hordes of demons. After clearing most of the area, he returned to his mother's side and proceeded to head to the exit. Unfortunately they were stopped by a magical barrier. They turned around and there was a hooded figure with three glowing circles forming under the hood and more demons appeared.
"I finally found you, Sparda." The figure said with a demonic voice.
Vergil remembered his father telling about his battle with the Mundas, the Prince of Darkness.
"It can't be, you were defeated?" Vergil in shock
"Defeated and sealed away. That seal is starting to weaken. This is just a puppet I use in my steed. I will rule the Demon world and the humans. Before that, I will extract my revenge on Sparda." Mundas announced.
"So he is still sealed away. This is bad, as I am right now, I may not be enough and I have no way to warn Gremory about the seal and Mundas. I must escape with my mother, however that will be very difficult right now." Vergil thought to himself.
*Rules of Nature-Metal Gear Rising cue*
The hooded figure released his demonic energy, putting holes in the roofs, he pulled out a sword and began to charge towards Vergil. Their swords clashed and they began their battle. The hooded figure had the advantage in power but Vergil had the better speed and technique. The hooded figure attacked with downward slashes, Vergil blocks and parries them. They clash swords again, the hooded figure pushes back Vergil with force. Vergil gets back up and goes on the offense, unleashing a barrage of horizontal slashes, the hooded figure barely keeping up. Vergil knocked the hooded figure sword out its hand, the sword spinning upward in the air and delivered a finishing blow that took the off the hand and left a fatal wound across the torso. The demons were closing in on Eve, Vergil looks up to see those demons and before could make his move, he is hit from the back by demonic energy spears and falls to the one knee. The hooded figure is still moving, if it was alive it would be on death's door by now. The hooded figure kicks Vergil in the gut, sending him crashing into the wall and then falling to the ground. Then lesser demons stab Vergil and pinned him to the ground with their weapons. Vergil lets out a scream in agony. Eve runs towards Vergil, cutting the heads off the heads off the demons near him with his katana, she places herself between him and the demons. In a flash, the hooded figure appears and stabs her in the chest. Vergil lets out a scream.
"MOOTHHERRR!"
Vergil, in pain, pushes his body up enough that he is no longer pinned to the ground and crawls to his dying mother. He finally reaches his mother and holds her in his arms. It began to rain with thunder and lightning. The rain came down and showered over Vergil and Eve.
"Mother!" as tears came down his bloody face and battered body.
"Ara, my little devil is crying, even a Devil may cry, when they lose a loved one. You must change your name and start a new life. You must project what is important to you with all that you have, understand. Know that I will always love you. Never forsake your humanity. Please don't blame yourself for what happened today. " Eve told Vergil as life was slowly leaving her body.
"I will mother, I promise." Vergil replied as placed his head on her head.
"Show them the power of Sparda." As she drew her last breath.
Thunder and lightning flashes outside and it begins to rain.
*Girei-( Pain's theme with Thunderstorm) Naruto Shuputen*
Vergil wipes his tears. He closes his mother's eyes and slowly stands up. The lesser demons are closing in. Vergil eyes glow blue, demonic blue energy crackling around him, he unleashes masses of demonic power, pushing the lesser demons back and destroys the demon's weapons stuck in his body. Vergil extends hand, Yamato pops off the ground, spinning towards him. Vergil grabs the hilt, swips it to the ground like he is wiping blood off his sword, blowing the lesser demons back. Vergil lets out a demonic roar. Vergil dashes forward and starts cutting away at the demons. The demons are appearing, but not as fast as before. The demons began to step back in fear, like they were facing death itself. Vergil sheaths his sword and assumes the quick draw stance.
"You will not forget this devil's power." Vergil said in a cold demonic tone.
In a flash, he disappeared from the demons' view and then reappeared, kneeling on one knee and sheathing Yamato. After he sheathed his sword all the demons in the rooms fell to the ground and disappeared. Vergil snapped out of his power surge. He is barely able to stand. Wondering what just happen the room was silent and still burning.
"I've gotta get out of here." He told himself.
After taking a few steps, the hooded figure appears behind Vergil, hitting him in the back of the head , knocking him out cold and dropping Yamato. Mundus then chuckled.
"I have some use for you son of Sparda, you will serve me well." He laughed and picked up Vergil unconscious body and disappeared into the burning fire and returned to an unknown region of Demon world.
A few hours have passed, the rain stopped and a full moon lit up the area. The Head Maid finally returns only to find the Sparda home burned down. She fell to her knees in shock as to how and when this happened. She ran to the house to search for any possible survivors. All she found were burned bodies of the servants. Then she made her way to the main lobby and witnessed the destructive scene that took place there. She could feel two demonic powers in the area. She recognized one demonic power, one belonging to Vergil and another she did not recognize. She focuses more on the unknown power. She is familiar with different species' power. It was faint but she was able to uncover the other power within the other demonic power.
"This should not be possible. A troublesome rat has returned. The Young Master did well holding out against him. I'll be sure to raise him for his effort." She stated.
She looked around the lobby for more clues. In the middle of the lobby, moonlight shone on Eve's cold and wet body. Head Maid in shock walked over to Eve's body, felt her knees and let our tears for her long time master and friend.
"He will suffer before he dies. Rest assured we will avenge you." She declared.
She looked around the lobby and found Yamato close by. She took a knee to examine it for clues, her eyes glowed purple while examining Yamato. From the shadows a silent demon spots the Head Maid. It slowly and quietly creeps towards its unexpected prey. The demon is now in position and raises its weapon. Then sudden *KACHNK* Without even standing up, Head Maid cut the Demon with frightening speed, sheaths Yamato *KIN* the demon falls to pieces and disappears.
"Pathetic." She said in a cold tone.
Head Maid continues to look around for more clues. Her eyes turn purple again, this time she sees another spot with a small pool or blood and foot prints. She now has a lead on where she needs to go next, but before she leaves, she has one last thing to do before she searches for Young Master Vergil. Dawn breaks, revealing a burned down house. In the back were new graves for those who died in the attack. Eve was buried next to Sparta.
"I ask that you watch over us from the other side. I will find your son and bring him back. Together we'll avenge you. Rest easy." She talked to the graves. Afterward she disappeared into the wind.
Somewhere in an unknown location in the Demon World, in a small castle, in the dungeon, a young Vergil is beating, torture and later brainwashed into a servant of the Demon Emperor Mundus. Many years have gone by and Mundas is slowly trying to gather resources and pawns for his army. The Emperor Mundus is dissatisfied with the progress and dispatches a company size foot soldiers and Nelo Angelo to find out and take care of the problem. Nelo Angelo wore a purple cape, humanoid helmet with horns, eyes were red pupils, heavy body armor with olive green/jade green and blue lines running through the armor and a large unnamed broadsword.
Nelo Angelo- The Black Angel of the Underworld
They traveled along a trail that went through a forest. It was about the size of a four lane highway. Along the way to the destination, they are attacked by The Black Dragon. The company began to open fire on the dragon, but it easily dodged the incoming fire. The dragon unleashes a bombardment of dark large purple and blue fireballs hitting most Nelo Angelo forces burning them alive. Nelo Angelo knocks off his demonic horse and lands behind a rock, which absorbs the blast from the bombardment. It had a big blast radius of 200m and 100m of a sure kill radius. There was now a platoon size of the forces left
The area became clouded in thick fog and started to drizzle and visibility was very limited. There was also the sound of terrain shifting and changing but no way to confirm with extraordinarily little visibility. The platoon of Nelo Angelo forces pursue the attacker. All that could be heard were swords clashes, bodies dropping all around. Nelo Angleo takes out his large sword, dark blue fiery aura and swings it to break a small hole in the misty area. He begins to run to the opening when suddenly he is attacked by a hooded woman figure with two katanas. The first attack missed but was followed up with another attack that pushed Nelo Angelo back several meters.
"Mind if I cut in?" said the hooded figure.
*The Only Thing I know is Real MG Rising cue*
"Let's go." her swords are ready for a fight.
Nelo Angelo just looked at the hooded woman and then his hand began to glow with the same fiery aura and to fire at the hooded woman. Three shots were fired, the hooded woman dodges two and splits the other one in half. Nelo Angelo charges in and begins his attack. Immediately he swings for the head, the hooded woman ducks, and returns a few more strikes. Nelo Angelo swings his sword horizontally to one side, the hooded woman blocks with its swords and then with impressive speed he switches to attack the opposite side only to be blocked again.
The Hooded woman returns a few strikes only to be blocked by the large sword. He takes a few steps back and his sword is now charged up immediately with power. Nelo Angelo charges in for horizontal slashes, the hooded figure dodges, but Nelo expects that attack to be dodge and brings his sword down to crush his opponent. The hooded women dodge the sword attack, but get caught in the explosive discharge from the attack. The hooded figure still standing is pushed back a few meters. The hooded figure now slightly ragged but still has the hood up, Nelo Angelo let out a chuckle.
"Not bad." spoke the hooded woman and sheath one of the katanas and one of the eyes began glowing purple.
Nelo Angelo powers up to full power, then The two charge in and their swords clash into each other creating sparks. Nelo Angelo jumps over the hooded woman however, she delivers a powerful strike that sends Nelo Angelo back, but he is barely able to stand up after that last strike. The hooded woman charges in and their weapons clash again creating sparks. The Hooded woman thrust the katana up and hit Nelo Angelo in the face, causing him to stumble back a bit, then the hooded woman slashed at the head, chipping off some pieces of the helmet. Nelo Angelo down on one knee holding his hand on the wound he just received. The hooded woman spun the katana in the air from the hilt, catching it examining the katana with amazement.
Nelo Angelo removes his hand and a face can be partial seen underneath. A light started to glow from inside Nelo Angelo and the hooded woman's chest. The Hooded woman looked down and then look at Nelo Angelo who was back on his feet. The hooded woman rotates her wrists with the katana, strikes the ground and charges forward with the katana in the ground creating sparks along the way Nelo Angelo. The Hood woman's katana now ignited with fire, goes for an upward slash, Nelo Angelo dodges, the hooded woman twirls the katana around to distract Nelo Angelo, and goes for a downward slash. Nelo Angelo jumps back a good distance. Then creating an explosion the hooded figure launches towards Nelo Angelo . Their swords clash, the hooded woman goes on the offense this time. Nelo Angelo is holding up on the assault. After Nelo Angelo dodge a horizontal slash from the flaming katana, he moves in for a offensive strike.
After the horizontal slash, the hooded woman sheaths the katana, the flame still blocking some of Nelo Angelo view, the hooded woman shoots out the katana, catches it and breaks Nelo Angelo sword in half and delivers a powerful strike sending Nelo Angelo flying backwards into a tree. The katana crackling with power was then sheathed.
Upon impact Nelo hit his head knocking him out cold. The hooded woman moves in and sees the light glowing again. The hooded woman assumes a quick-draw stance, the katana glowing, unleashing a series of slashes with incredible power and precision. *KNCHNK* The armor shatters into pieces, a silver amulet jewel is glowing, the once lost Vergil is out cold, a dark blue energy is released from the unconscious Vergil and the spell is finally broken. The hooded woman sheaths her katana and disappears. A dragon appears and grabs the unconscious victim and disappears into the sky.
Human World
Back in the Human world a few months have passed since the attack in the forest. Vergil regains his freedom after many years of enslavement. In the corner of the room was a violin and electronic guitar with a speaker. He awoke to find himself in an unfamiliar room, and in the same room, Head Maid awakes from her nap.
"V has come too."
"Ara, welcome back young master. Relax, I'm sure you have many questions. The first one is how long have you been out, well it's been 9 years." She said with a bow.
"What?" Vergil said while in shock.
"I'm joking, it's only been a few months." she laugh
"Thank you, Head Maid." He chuckled lightly.
"Since we aren't in the mansion I go by Tio Klarus " she informed Vergil.
Tio Klarus-Wise and beautiful caretaker surrounded by enigma.
"You suffered a bit of amnesia, how much do you remember, and do you know who you are?" She asked
"I'm Vergil, Son of Sparda and I remember we were attacked after you left, there was no warning. The demons killed everyone, and he killed my mother. I took out most of the demons, but I could finish that last one." He answered
"He?" she asked.
"Mundas, the demon emperor who my father defeated. The seal is starting to weaken and he is gathering forces. I was not strong enough to defeat him. I can't take him on now. I will need to a lot stronger to defeat him." He replied.
"I see, so you are aware of him. He is the demon emperor and he will not fall so easily. Until you gain enough power to defeat him, you are not to engage him at all. I will need to investigate his whereabouts in the meantime." Tio commented
"Understood." He replied
"Do you remember anything else? She asked once more.
"Sorry, I can only recall the attack on the house, anything else before is very hazy." He answered.
"I see." Tio looked slightly saddened but under the circumstance there is nothing he can do about it for now.
All she can do is let him discover it for himself.
"So he doesn't remember Akeno and Rias. How troublesome." Tio thought to herself.
"There is one thing, I can't explain it but I a feeling like I'm forgetting something very important to me." Vergil commented
"Attendre et espe'rer, Wait and Hope." She smiled.
"That's enough for tonight. You will be starting school soon and I need you to be well rested. I've prepared for you a new ID for while you are attending school. This will also serve as your new name until you have enough power to defeat Mundus. I had to drain most of your devil power to remove Munda's corruption, but your physical strength was also affected. You will be able to get a few bursts of demonic out with your current power. So avoid any battles as much as possible until you recover." Tio hands him the ID card.
"Raiden Gekido huh? He is on the kendo team, makes good grades and doesn't stand out too much a school." Vergil reading the card.
"When did I get the new appearance? Also who came up with this bio?" Vergil questioned without reading the rest of the card.
"Preparations have been made for you while you were out. We all have our roles to play." Tio commented with a smile.
"I see." Vergil not asking anymore about it.
A picture of Vergil with his hair pushed back and blue hair and eyes. A flash of light came from the ID and Vergil now had the same appearance as the ID. It was getting late and the two finished their discussion and retired for the night.
A few days later Vergil will be attending private school Kuou with his new identity/cover Raiden Gekido.
Raiden Gekido- The one driven by power and revenge with a tormented past.
Vergil walks down the hallway along with other students. While he walked down the hallway, he passes by two beautiful girls with incredible bust size school Rias and Akeno. Akeno wears her hair in a ponytail wrapped in an orange bow and it's much longer. She stop and turned around like she became aware of a familiar presence she has not felt in a long time but all she see are the other students walking the hall. Akeno turns back around and catches up with Rias. While she's walking, the hidden amulet she is wearing begins to glow very faintly.
A few weeks pass, school life was going smoothly. Vergil met a girl named Yumma. They met in the hallway one day and she brought up the idea of hanging out. Vergil agreed with it, he didn't have a lot of experience with the ladies, so this will be a good experience. Before he went on a date, he asked for a few pointers and tips from Tio. While on the date, they went to the arcade, movies, and MMA arena. Vergil grabbed a flyer that was being passed out while leaving the arena, he put it in pocket to check it out later. They walked to a park and the sun was settling.
"I had a good time today." Yumma said with a smile.
"Thank you, I hope to take you out for another date." Vergil replied with a small smile.
"Hey Raiden-kun, can you listen to a small request?" Yumma asked while smiling.
"If it's within my capability, let's hear it." Vergil replied.
"Alright, the moment we all have been for." Vergil thought to himself.
"Please die for me right now."
"Come again?" Vergil sounded confuse.
"Can you please die right now." She said with an expressionless face.
The next moment pair of black wings came out from her back and lifted her in the air.
"I don't think that is something most girls would request on the first date, so I will respectfully decline your request." He said with a confused look still.
*Beautiful Song- Nier Automata cue*
The next moment, wasting no time Yumma summoned a yellow spear and threw it at Vergil . Not wasting a moment, he managed to move out the way. However, he did not make it out unscathed, some small pieces from his side was missing and began bleeding.
"If you want to be angry, be angry at God for cursing you with that gear. I was going to kill you sooner or later anyway. Now hold still and like me kill you." She laughed sadistically and began throwing a barrage of spears.
"What gear?" Vergil is not sure what she is talking about.
Yumma kept the pressure on with the spears from the air. Vergil knew he shouldn't drag this fight out long and was at a disadvantage. He noticed a light pole several meters behind her .
"Worth a shot." He thought to himself.
Vergil moved into position. Yumma continued her barrage of spears. Vergil was in bad shape, but he keeps going. He timed his attack carefully, with the little demonic energy he had, he strengthened his legs and launch himself to the light pole. Landing with just enough force and momentum, he bounce off light pole, launching himself toward Yumma. Flying towards her, he angled his body for a powerful strike. Yumma who has not caught on yet, slowly begins to turn around, Vergil hits her with a strong punch to the face, sending her flying to the ground. Raiden lands first, then launches toward a falling Yumma, rotating his body in a Ta Kwon Do fashion, he lands a roundhouse kick to Yumma ribs, cracking a few. The kick had her unresponsive for a moment, as she was sent flying into a nearby tree.
Vergil, not wasting a moment, makes his retreat. While retreating a yellow spear goes through one of his legs causing him to take a knee. Yumma had regained her consciousness and launched a spear at his leg to prevent him from escaping.
"Damn you filthy human, how dare. I will kill, I'll fucking kill you!" She screamed with blood running down her lip, her face bruised from the punch and she was holding her side from where she was kicked and clothes ragged. Vergil let a small chuckle.
"That look suited you better, Yumma-chan." Vergil said with a small smiled.
He was in bad shape as well. Yumma let out a raging scream and flew towards Vergil . Vergil made an attempt to flee and Yumma was closing in.
"Say your prayers, filthy human!" Yumma said with a sadistic smile and a spear in hand.
Suddenly using his uninjured leg, Vergil jumps up and does a partial backflip and kicks Yumma in the head, sending her flying to the ground and knocking her out. Vergil falls on his back. They both are on the ground. Yumma is out cold and Vergil was lying on his back. He stumbled to get up and left the area.
"Guess that's a no for a second date."
He told Yumna as she was out cold. Vergil was now out of the area and the moon was lighting up the area. Vergil gravely wounded and bleeding all over falls to the side. Looking up at the moon, for the first time since his mother died that night.
"Is this my limit? No, I still have much to do. I'll just take a little nap until I recover. Hehe, if was I was gonna die, it can be after I kill Mundus."
A flash of two beautiful flickered in mind.
"To think I would think about two random beautiful girls in an injured state. Heh how laughable."
Vergil laugh about his current condition and his vision was getting hazy due to loss of blood. Suddenly a red magic circle appeared to the side of him, two figures appeared from the circle. It was like fate had brought them back together after so long, Akeno and Rias had arrived. Vergil is not aware of what's going on and slowly loses consciousness.
"What have we here? A half devil pretty rare in this day an age! So he is the one to summon us here. He looks to be in bad shape. What happened here?" Akeno examining the scene.
"We can ask him after he has recovered. What's this? Akeno you see this? He possesses rather interesting gear. It would be a waste if he died without being able to use it. Lets make him a fine devil. You must live for my sake Fufuf." Rias commented.
*Elegia-Metal Gear The Phantom Pain*
Vergil was having a dream of his past and not a very pleasant one. The home he had was burning, the demons attacked, the loss of his mother and being torture and forced to serve his father's and now his arch nemesis Mundas. Everything from his home, family, memory, identity everything was being taken from him and being powerless to stop it. These phantoms of his past continue to haunt and torment him even now. Vergil just can't forgive himself for his failure and thus is driven to gain more power and not let the same mistake happen again, then perhaps then he may be free of his torment. Now looking in a mirror and seeing Nelo Angelo as his reflection. Vergil was disgusted with what he was looking at and smashed the mirror. Now and looking through the other side he sees something in the distance, a light bury deep within and then the dream ends.
Vergil wakes up from his nightmare a little sweaty. He was wondering how he got home and his wounds healed up too. In addition he was feeling stronger than he was previously. The amount he has recovered would have taken several more months. He puts on a gym shirt and shorts and heads to the backyard. While walking downstairs he heard Tio playing the Violin.
*Improvisation for Violin on -Legacy*
Vergil watched Tio play the violin from a distance. Somehow it helped ease his mind and calm him down. He watched a little bit longer, he grabbed a wooden sword along the way to get some training before school. It's still dark outside so he had a couple hours before he leaves for school. He begins practicing and trying to recall as much training as he can. Tio noticed him outside and was thinking back when they were at Sparda's home practicing in the backyard. She grabs a katana wrapped in a cloth and heads outside. Vergil finished his training and noticed Tio coming out.
"Nice to see you keeping up with your training and you have recovered a good bit of demonic power." Tio smiled
"Its not enough, my combat senses are not what they were back in the mansion." Vergil stated.
"Let's try this. Block these energy balls I'm about to send you." Tio said as she summoned small balls of energy and fired them at Vergil. He was able to parry and block some of the incoming projectiles, he miss some and took some hits.
"Tsk, looks like ill need more training in this area." He stated.
"Again!" Tio summoned more.
Vergil blocks and parries more this time.
"Again!"
Vergil continued to parry and block them.
"How about this?" Summoning slot more than previously.
"Oi, isn't that overkill?"
"I have faith you will do well." With a grin and launch the energy ball. Not only were there more, they were faster as well. Tio was surprised at the progress he was making. He was able to parry and block most of them, but Vergil has plenty of room to improve.
"Its not enough. I must block and parry all of them."
"Don't worry, I know you will master this in no time. Keep practicing." Tio said with a smile.
"One day I will surpass my father."
"Don't worry, you will get there. Your father was a legend in the eyes of the human and demon during his time. One day you will be too." Tio smiled and placed her hands on his shoulders.
"How was your date with Yumma-chan, did you seal the deal? Details, details." Tio excited, sounding like a schoolgirl.
Vergil informed her about how the date went and what happened afterwards. Tio went from smiling to an emotionless expression.
"I see, I'm sorry to hear that about your date. Well there are plenty of fish in the sea. In the meantime I will see what I can find out about these black winged beings. Its would appear we more than stray devils to worry about now. We'll need to buff up security around here. In addition we will need to update your sword techniques a bit. Doesn't hurt to have a few new tricks. Chivalry is not what it use to be so be careful of underhanded tactics." Tio stated
"I will be sure to keep that in mind when I'm out and about." He commented
"With that being said, now is a good time to give you this. I took good care of it while you were away." Tio presenting a katana wrapped in cloth.
"Is this..?" Vergil looked at Tio.
He could feel his tremendous demonic power within the blade. He unclothed it and there was a strong gust of wind and some cracking of blue demonic power.
"Yamato. Let's go partner." While looking at Yamato.
He turned around and unsheathe Yamato, launching a bladed energy projectile into a tree *GN SHNK* and then sheath his sword *KIN* the tree falls down.
"I still got it. Thank you Tio" He chuckled.
"No problem. There are plenty of stray demons in and outside the city. Use them to get back into the swing of things and recover more power. Also keep your amulet on you, it will help mask your demonic power." Tio informed Vergil.
"Its almost time to head out for school. I'll need to head out soon." He said.
Tio nodded in agreement and went to prepare breakfast. After breakfast he took off to school. Vergil school used to be an all girls school. It wasn't until a few years ago it switch to a mix school, however females are most of the population. In class Vergil was talking with two of his classmate Matsuda and Motohama. They say some outrageously pervy things which is why they aren't so popular with the ladies. Vergil on the other hand was still a mystery to most. Vergil was only concerned with gaining more power and averaging his mother. Things like girls were far from his mind but he wasn't opposed to idea. He just doesn't it talk about it most of the time when the girls are around.
During their talk, Vergil asked if they have seen Yumma around. They looked at him confused as to who this girl is that he is referring to. He told them a little bit about her and how they went on a date but nothing rang a bell to them. Vergil found that to be most unusual. They continue to talk and later discuss their plans for after school. Then suddenly all the girls ran to the window. The guys went to see what was going on that caught so much attention. They looked out the window and saw the schools top two beauties walking by Rias and Akeno. Matsuda and Motohama were charmed by their beauty upon their gaze. Vergil had his arms crossed looking down at the view.
"Well, I can't exactly blame them. Anyone would be amazed and charmed by such beauties." He commented so casually. The girls looked at Vergil who was still looking out the window arms cross.
"Geikodo-san sounds so cool when he talks." One girl commented.
"I wonder if he knows senpai." Another girl commented.
Vergil not paying attention to the girls' interesting comments as the continue on. Suddenly Rias and Akeno looked up and gazed at Vergil right in his eyes and smiled. Vergil's heart suddenly beat to life. Raising only an eyebrow as to what just happened, his classmate checked on him to see if he was ok. He told them he was fine and looked back out the window and they were gone. After school he was hanging out under a tree. Vergil was casually reading a manga and realized it was getting dark out.
The moon was out and Vergil was walking home. He was walking past a park when he felt the presence of a mysterious man following him and some demons hiding in the shadows. The man was wearing a dark hat and coat, like some business man. The mysterious man closed in and started talking.
"How unlucky for you, bumping into someone at a place like this." While tilting his hat forward.
Vergil ignored him and kept walking to the middle of the park. The man followed him to the middle of the park.
"It's very rude to ignore people when they are talking to you. Who is your master?" he asked.
Vergil continued past the middle of the park.
"Still ignoring me huh, do you think I'll let you go? Tell me your master's name, unless you're a stray maybe?" he continued talking and was floating in the air now.
Vergil stopped and was starting to get a little annoyed and turned around to notice the man also had black wings just like Yumma.
"I don't sense traces of your master, you must be a stray in that case. No one will miss you if you're gone then." The mysterious man continued talking.
"You may test that assumption at your convenience." Vergil said with a small smile.
"The amulet seems to be working perfectly. Tio said she added a powerful spell that would affect how the other perceive me and my demonic power. Perhaps I'll get a good workout tonight." Vergil thought himself.
*Red Sun-MGR ost cue*
The mysterious man extends his hand and a yellow spear appears. Vergil , remembering his previous encounter, is ready for it this time. The mysterious man throws the spear at Vergil with force and speed. Vergil takes out Yamato still covered in a cloth and parries the spear with fi'nes and hits him in the arm.
"So you got some skill, how bout this." Mysterious man was amazed and irritated.
He unleashes a barrage of spears a little faster this time at Vergil. Once again, he parries most of them away and they fly off in different directions. Vergil even managed to parry a couple back at him. A few manage to pass by Vergil , leaving a small sting. The mysterious man change his tactic and began to fly towards Vergil at high speed.
"Unforgivable, you filthy lowlife devil." The mysterious man is now getting irritated.
Vergil gave a small chuckle. Yamato disappears from his hand, he cocks his arm back ready to attack. The mysterious man had a spear in his hand ready to strike. Vergil, with good timing launched his counter, a hook to the gut, then a rising dragon uppercut and then a hard kick to the hooded man right back in the ground. He lands in the little pool in the park. He struggles to get up to his feet, his clothes rugged, shirt ripped from the uppercut and his side and face bruised from the kick and impact.
"How is this happening, you're just a lowlife, filthy devil. I'll kill you for sure." He screamed.
He ready his spear for another attack, then suddenly something hit the mysterious man destroying his spear and damaging his arm.
"I would be quite troubled if you killed him." A girl with red hair appeared in front of Raiden.
"Red hair, I know of you, are you from the Gremory family?" the mysterious man asked.
"I'm Rias Gremory. Pleasure to meet you Mr. Fallen Angel." Rias said.
"Rias Gremory?" Vergil thought to himself.
"I won't hold back if you hurt this guy." Rias declared.
"So he is one of yours underlings, are you serious?" the mysterious man said.
"Then you better keep him on a short leash or someone like me might take him out if he is left alone." He trying to bluff.
"I'll keep that in mind." Rias noted.
"If you pull a stunt like this again, it will be your last. This area is under my jurisdiction." Rias declared.
"The same goes to you next head of the Gremory." The mysterious man said.
He notices some demons in the area hiding are crawling closer to where they are and two of his spears lodge in a tree behind Rias and Vergil . He gave a sinister smile. Vergil noticed his expression and stayed on the alert. The mysterious man made a small gesture with hand, making sure Rias does not notice it and flies up into the air. Rias is still watching him, not aware of the danger soaring her way at incredible speed.
"My name is Douna Shiku, pray that we never meet again." Shiku says as he flies off into the night sky.
"Watch out!" Vergil pushes Rias out the way and gets hit by the two spears, one through the gut and one through the shoulder.
Vergil down on one knee grunted after taking the hit holding his gut in.
"Are you ok? We need to get you outta here and patched up." Rias with genuine with one eye open and fighting the pain in, chucked a little bit.
"A little good night sleep and I'll be good as new in the morning." He let out a small laugh.
"Let's get you back." Rias stop, when she heard some hssing and grawling in front of her and Vergil.
Two large reptilian looking demons appeared in front of them (Riot DMC5). They hss at them and then charged at them both. Rias not wasting any time fire off two destructive blast them, obliterating them to nothing. A few more appeared and she began to obliterate them. Four more appeared behind them in Rias's blind spot and were moving into strike range. Unleashing some of his power, with lighting speed, Vergil pulls out Yamato, dashes and slashes through them *Whoosh x 4*, skidding across facing the demons then spin sheaths Yamato *KIN*. After he sheath his sword, blood spread everywhere and the demons fell to the ground. The demons never made it to Rias. Clear of danger, Rias ran towards Vergil who was about to pass out.
"Hey wait second!" Rias shouted.
*Darkness Revealed-Phantom Power*
Once again Vergil was having a nightmare about his troubled past that continued to haunt him. Then he heard a voice.
"Tell me, what do you see? That time, when you were tortured, the pain and effort you went through is what kept you alive. It's not just him, all his allies want you dead. So show me that you too can return to this world for revenge. Remember what you lost, remember what you must project. So, do you see me now?" said a mysterious voice.
A flash of a black dragon appears and then disappears. Vergil found himself in front of his burning house. A mirror appeared in front of him again, showing him the Nelo Angelo image. Vergil smashes the mirror once again. The fire then suddenly turns blue. Vergil looks through the mirror and sees an image of something. A light that seemed to be buried deep within him. He sees some figures in the distance, but he can't make out who they are. Then the dream ends.
Vergil wakes up from his nightmare and sits up with cold sweat. It was slightly different this time, but he can't make heads or tails at the end of the dream. It was early in the morning and the sun was getting ready to rise and Tio would be there soon to wake him up. He raises the cover to get out of bed and he notices something odd.
"Hmm, how did I get home?" sounded confused.
"My wounds are healed up, but why am I naked?" he wondered and continued to access. Vergil then hears a moan coming from his bed. He gets out of bed and rises the sheets and sees a naked Rias sleeping soundly in his bed, her beautiful ass facing him and her red hair spread out over his bed. Blood splashes out of his nose.
"Rias-Senpai? I don't remember requesting a night service. Did I fall asleep at a very important part of any man life? I doubt it counts if I wasn't even awake." He commented.
"Raiden, it's time to get up for school. Are you there? When did you get home last night?" Tio knocks on the door to wake up Vergil.
*Yawning* "Is it morning already?" Rias waking up.
"Need you cover yourself with these sheets for a bit?" Vergil said with a little concern.
He moved in to cover Rias, he tripped and lands face first in her large soft breast. Rias blushed and stared at what just happened. Tio opens the door and walks in and witnesses the scene and is in shock.
"Oh, Good morning." Rias greeted Tio.
"Ara, hope I'm not interrupting. Fufu. Hurry up and get ready for school." Tio grinned and took off.
"Has spring finally come for my little Raiden? Has he finally reached manhood?" Tio shouting and running downstairs.
"What a lively household you have in the morning." Rias smiled and raised Vergil 's face from her chest.
"Senpai, you're still naked and I can see your breasts?" Vergil pointed out.
"Well, if you want to see them that bad, I don't mind." Rias stated so boldly and with confidence.
"Eh? What form of power is this?" Vergil in shock and thinking to himself and put some boxers on.
"How are your wounds? Those were some nasty wounds you got last night." she asked him and put on some underwear.
"Appears to be good as new." Vergil commented.
"You recovered pretty quick after one night. I gave you some of my power to help you recover."
"I see, that would explain such a quick recovery." He commented.
"I've been embracing you in the nude most of the night." Rias teased
"Eh? Seriously, I missed an important moment." Vergil in shock.
"My name is Rias Gremory, I'm a devil." Rias Gremory-Crimson Haired Ruin Princess with a troubled future.
She introduces herself while placing Vergil's head in her hand then she leans into his ear.
"I'm also your Master fufu. Please take care of me Gekido Raiden. Can I call you Raiden? " She said with a smile.
"I figure you must have been a devil, after you obliterated those other demons with ease last night." He thought to himself.
The two finished getting dressed and headed out to school. When they got to school Rias informed Vergil that they would meet up afterschool. The end of the school day came and two classmates asked Vergil if he had plans after school. Afterward a young man by the name of Yuuto, introduces himself and tells Raiden he is there to take him to Rias Senpai. They departed and went to one of the old school buildings. Inside the room there was a large circle with writing on the floor. There was a desk with a few books on it. One of the books had V on the cover and it was outside of Rias' bag. The rest of the room was a small table and two couches. A small girl with white hair was sitting on the couch eating sweets. Rias was taking a shower since was not able to take one night. Rias finished her shower and got dressed and met everyone in the main room. Akeno walks in with Rias and introduces herself to Vergil .
"You must be Raiden Gekido-kun. I'm Himejima Akeno. Please remember me." Akeno said with a smile. Himejima Akeno-Priestess of Thunder with a hidden past.
"Ho, the pleasure is mine Akeno Senpai. Please just call me Raiden-kun. I'll be in your care." Vergil replied in a gentlemanly fashion.
"Ara Ara, such a gentleman. Fufufu." Akeno said with a small laugh.
Rias began the meeting and first inform Vergil that they all are devils. They continue on with a little history of the angel, devils and fallen angels. She also showed Vergil the photo of Yumma and told him that she too was a fallen angel and she somehow wiped everyone's memory of her from the school. In addition, Rias told him why Yumma was after Vergil in the first place and that was because he possesses what is known as a sacred gear. Akeno went in further detail about what a sacred gear was. Afterwards, Rias suggested Vergil try to summon his gear by striking a pose. Vergil look at Rias with a expression of "You can't be serious?" look. She simply nodded. He stroke a pose he saw one time reading his manga.
He struck a pose and felt embarrassed. Akeno and Rias tried to hold in their laughter.
"Laugh while you can, cause I'll never do this again."
A black gauntlet that looked like a dragon hand with a purple jewel appeared on the top of the hand and another formed around his left and hand feet. Rias explains how if he does well in the demon society he can move up and have servants of his own one day. Vergil had a little thought about the idea of beautiful maid servants serving him. He had a quick flashback of his childhood showing maids.
"Maids huh?" he said with a small chuckle.
"That's right, so are you willing to serve me?" Rias asked with a smile.
Vergil took a knee, like a servant bowing to his master and then looking up.
"Sure, why not, I'd be happy to serve." Vergil replied
Rias looked very pleased and Akeno had a warm smile on her face.
"It will be fun serving you Rias-Senpai."
"No, you must call me President out here, it's only fitting. Plus, everyone in the club calls me that '' Rias smiled.
"Yes, my Lady. Teach me the ways of devils" Vergil chuckled. Akeno let out a small laugh.
"A cocky devil aren't you?" Rias said as she placed her finger under Vergil's chin being charming.
"I wonder about that." Vergil said with a small grin expression.
