Chapter 6. Revelations
Vergil stopped dead, Yamato still raised to Nero's face. Trish, Kyrie and especially Nero couldn't speak. Tension hung in the air. Dante was the first to break it.
"I could tell from the moment I met him. He has our power, the same look in his eyes as you. Yamato reacted to his body, and you could clearly see he can wield it."
Vergil finally spoke. "How can he be? There's no way he could… " He lowered Yamato. "Oh". Dante looked at his brother with curiosity. "What do you mean, 'oh'?" he asked.
"Alexandra." Vergil simply spoke. "You're Alexandra's son."
"Who?" replied Nero, dumbfounded.
"I must go.", Vergil simply replied. "Oh, no, no, no. You ain't goin' NOWHERE.", Dante responded, annoyed. Vergil leapt from the rooftop, taking Yamato with him. "Goddamnit… Trish, look after Nero & Kyrie, I got some shit to do.", Dante said as he followed suit. Vergil was already well on his way out of the scene, while the crowd of people had gathered to see the wreckage the twins created. A crater lay in the middle of the street, and every single plant was dead, every light blown, every window shattered and every car torched within at least a dozen yards of the crater. Vergil continued through an alleyway, when he was grabbed by the arm. He stopped.
"Unhand me, brother."
"Not until I get the scoop here. Who the hell is Alexandra?"
Vergil sighed. "There are certain things I do not discuss… the matters of my personal life are among those things." Dante nearly choked. "YOUR PERSONAL LIFE? You're my brother, how much more personal do you wanna get? For chrissakes, spill the beans, Verge!" "Alright! But you tell this to ANYONE, -" "Yeah, yeah, I get it, you go all doomsday on everyone. Cough it up." "Okay."
He shot his younger brother a glare.
Dante let go of Vergil's arm.
"I was seventeen. I was travelling through Europe, looking upon ancient sites that had once been relevant to our father's history. I was told about a small island, Fortuna. I had travelled to the island and came across Sanctus, whom you may have met. He was in an altar of worship, in the castle in the mountains of this island. I had briefly spoken to him, and given him a piece of mind, mind you. From what I hear, you gave him a piece of mind yourself."
"I think I blew his mind to pieces." Chuckled the younger sibling.
Vergil sighed. "Charming." He continued. "I left the castle and went back to the city. I stayed there for a short while, but while I was there, I met someone."
June – 1990
Vergil stood atop a building, overlooking the town of Fortuna. "Sanctus may follow who he chooses, but once I become a god, who will the people of Fortuna follow then? Enjoy your freedoms while you have them. Pathetic insects."
"Why would you strip people of their freedoms? Have they wronged you?" A voice spoke out. Vergil turned in alarm. He sensed no-one, how could someone suddenly present themselves? A beautiful woman, with blonde hair, brown eyes and a gold dress came walking up the steps to the balcony where the slayer stood. "Vergil? Have they wronged you?"
Yamato was unsheathed instantly and was pointed at the woman's neck. "Demon, who are you? Reveal yourself."
"I am no demon, Vergil. However, I do know the story of your life. From your birth, the relationship you once shared with your brother, the tears wept from the death of your mother. I know of your escape, your travels and your desire for power. I know you almost reunited with Dante last year. I know what you seek." "Reveal it, before I end your life. I do not wish to hear of my past, I have lived it. Tell me what you know of Sparda's power, demon."
The woman stared at Vergil with an emotionless face, devoid of fear of any kind. "You always resort to violent tendencies. I know you Vergil. After witnessing so much bloodshed, why wouldn't you? After the life you've had to lead, anyone from the golden realm can feel your pain."
"The golden realm… you're…"
"….an Angel. Half Angel, to be correct. I chose to live on Earth, so my power has been halved. I wish to serve this world well. And I know it lies deep in your heart to carry on your father's legacy." Vergil lowered Yamato, then slowly sheathed it. "You're wrong, angel. I wish never to follow in Sparda's footsteps. I wish to supersede him, and become the new king of darkness. And no angel will stop me."
The angel stepped forward, and softly kissed Vergil on the lips. She pulled away, and stared deep into his eyes. "I may see darkness in your soul, but it will fade. You have been wronged, Vergil. But not by the humans. You will realise this before the end." She turned and left. Vergil felt breathless. What was this creature? Did she truly understand him? What did she mean, 'before the end'?
Days later, he came across the woman again. She sat alone on a bench, sipping a cup of tea. He approached her. "You're back.", she said, smiling.
"What is your name?"
Chapter 6 is finally done. Sorry I made everyone wait about a year… had stuff to do. Next chapter's gonna be a bit quicker. Promise. : P
