Early in the morning... "Luz" opened her eyes. Raising up her hand and looking it over, clenching and unclenching her fingers.
'Our bond is still strong enough for me to assume control without Luz knowing. Good.' "Vergil" thought as "he" rose out of bed.
"Vergil" walked out of the house and into the woods. Nearby, as "he" knew, was a portal frame. It may not be the Temen-ni-gru, but it might be useful in opening the portal to hell.
"Once I find the amulets I can use the blood flowing through Luz's veins in order to fulfill my mission." "He" said, walking with purpsoe.
A gunshot rang out and just went by "Vergil's" head, forcing "him" to stop. "He" turned and saw Amity holding a purple pistol in her hand, but "Vergil" knows how that really is.
"Ebony and Ivory are gone sadly, but I think these two made from her magic will do nicely." "Dante" said, possessing Amity while putting them away and pulling out the Rebellion. "Don't do anything stupid. Vergil. That's more of a me thing."
"Vergil" chuckled.
"I see you're learning." "He" said, pulling out the Yamato, "So... I supposed we are keeping the tradition?"
"I should say yes but I REALLY don't want to, considering these girls love each other so much. So, how about we not taint that love with this blood feud of ours, okay?" "Dante" asked nonchalantly.
"You'll just be delaying the inevitable." "Vergil" said.
"At least until I find a way to save Luz from you, brother." "Dante" said, gripping the rebellion tightly.
Both of them stare at the other in silence, the pure hatred sti in their eyes even afted all these years.
The wind blew between them before they both vanished, clashing blades as shockwaves blasted into the forest!
"Just like old times, eh Verg?" "Dante" asked with a grin.
"Yes. And it's just as annoying as ever." "Vergil" replied.
"That what makes it so fun." "Dante" said.
They broke apart and exchanged dozens of slashes! Quick, deadly, and precise; despite these bodies barely having any training.
'Luz's body is in better condition than Amity's. This fight is mine.' "Vergil" thought with confidence.
"Vergil" used the summon swords ability and a created a circle of blue swords around "him." "He" then ran at "Dante," ready to inflict some damage.
But "Dante" just grinned and drew a spell circle, summoning abomination tendrils with hardenred sharp points.
"Now two can play at this game!" "He" shouted with glee.
The two collided at blinding speed, and each abomination tendril or etherial sword shattering in seconds.
Switching things up, "Vergil" switched the Yamato out for Beowulf and rushed at "Dante!"
"Try and counter this!" "He" shouted before attacking with rapid kicks and punches!
Actunf fast, "Dante" put up the Royal Guard style, blocking all of "Vergil's" attack and building up the magical strength behind them, and sending it all back at "Vergil."
'Ugh! This style hurts more than I did in my last life, Amity's body is too petite for it!' "Dante" thought, "his" arm straining from the counterattack.
"Vergil" got the worst of it though, as "he" was knocked back and landed on the ground.
'Damnit! Still stupidly reckless as ever!' "Vergil" thought as "he" knew that counter was a doubled edged sword. 'If this keeps up, Luz will wake up wondering bow she got here and I'll lose more of her trust. I suppose I will have to hurry and cut this battle short.'
"Vergirl" forced Luz's body to stand up as "he" summoned the Yamato for one last attack
"Still not giving up, huh Vergil?" "Dante" asked with a cheeky grin.
"Not until my goal is meet." "Vergil" said.
"Your goal? Your goal?! You nearly destroyed the world once trying to reach this "goal!" Countless lives lost because of YOU!" "Dante" shouted, nearly losing "his" cool. "When will it be enough, Vergirl?! When will this insanity be enough for you to end this fucking madness?!"
"...When I finally have enough power." "Vergil" said, short and simple.
"Dante" sputtered from this before let out a sad sign, snapping "his" fingers and creatinf multiple guns via Amity's abomination magic.
"I should've known that would be your answer. I always knew you were a lost cause but I still want to save you from yourself, brother." "He" said sadly, aiming at "Vergil."
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
"He" fired dozens of bullets at "Vergil", who remained unafraid as the Yamato to catch the bullets in a pulse of magic. Freezing them in mid as "he" performed Judgement Cut.
"You will die!" "Vergil" shouted, unleashing the sword.
"Not today!" "Dante" said, using another magic ability.
Trickster.
Pouring all of "his" inner power into Amity's body, "Dante" dodged all of the slashes from Judgement Cut as "he" rushed forward to "Vergil!"
In the finaly slash of Judgement Cut, "Dante" clashed Rebellion with Yamato.
Their powers clashed once again, sending a shockwaves throughout the forest as the sound of thunder rang loudly.
"Give up, Vergil." "Dante" said, face to face with "him."
"Never." "Vergil" said before feeling "his" grip on the Yamato loosen.
'Shit! I'm out of time. Luz is beginning to wake up.' "He" thought.
Thankfully for "Vergil," "Dante" was in the same boat. But "he" kept a cool head and pushed "Vergil" away, seeing "him" taking a knee.
"Growing tired, bro?" "Dante" mocking his brother.
"Are you?" "Vergil" asked.
"He" pointing to "Dante's" hand, seeing it quivering and struggle to keep the Rebellion up as sweat was building on "his" brow.
"Hehehehe, I'm doing a lot better than you. I actually trust my wielder." "Dante" said.
"Vergil" didn't say anything at that. Neither did "Dante" as they both waited for the other to make the next move, either to give up or to continue this time sensitive fight.
"You know, at this rate, it might be day break before this fight is over." "Dante" said.
"And both our hosts will have questions we can't answer." "Vergil" said, slowly standing up. "So as much as I hate to admit it, it might be best to end this in a draw."
"Oh don't worry, Bro, I think this is just another scoreboard of brotherly squabbles." "Dante" said.
"Vergil" scoffed at "his brother" before making the Yamato vanish back into Luz's soul and turning to leave.
"You won't stop me, Dante. Not this time." "Vergil" said.
"Yeah, I know. Luz will." "Dante" said, turning the Rebellion back into a bracelet and walking beside "Vergil."
"She won't, I have complete control over her." "Vergil" said.
"We both know that's a lie." "Dante" said woth an eyeroll before looking over Amity's body. "This body feels so lean. I like it."
"Her body needs to improve." "Vergil" said to "Dante."
"Ugh, you always see the imperfections in everyone and everything." "Dante" said, doing another eyeroll.
"It helps to improve on them." "Vergil" said.
"Even your son, Nero?" "Dante" asked.
"Vergil" came to a halt as "he" balled "his" hands into fists.
"Keep his name out of your filthy mouth." "He" said with a surprising amount of venom, walking forward at a faster pace.
"What? Did I strike a nerve?" "Dante" asked, actually surprsied by this. "Suddenly you're concerned for him? What, was it our final moments that made you finally care?"
"Vergirl" said nothing and just kept walking, trying not to think about Nero…….only to fail.
'Son, I wonder whatever became of you.' "Vergil" thought.
