The Dark Pillar

Training ( Somewhat ?)

As Vergil performs Breath of Dark-First Form: Judgement , Nero was shocked seeing someone else perform dark breathing other than him. As everyone else looked through the hole , Vergil made by tossing Nero through the wall. Shinobu yelled through the hole.

Shinobu : Seriously you two , it's the middle of the night ! We have patients that are trying to sleep !

Snapping back to reality by her screaming , Nero jumped back barely avoiding the attack with only several strands of his hair falling off.

Vergil : Reflexes could use work , as well as total concentration. Maybe you haven't tried total concentration breathing ?

Nero pulled Yamato out and charged in on him. Grabbing Yamato with both hands , he swings down with all his strength . Only for Vergil to use the sheath and deflect the attack. A crack was seen on the scabbard.

Mei : HEY WATCH IT ! That Sheath wasn't easy to make you know !

The girls looked at Mei with surprised looks.

Kanae: You made your sheath before ?

Mei nods as her other sword appears around her, each in a different colored sheath. ( Corresponding the blade's color with it.)

Mei: Each one was made out of a small piece of the Devil known as Berial. Granted just getting a small piece of him was hard . He burned my clothes off more times than I can count.

Shinobu : Berial , that sounds like a devil Nero slain years ago ?

Mei: Nero Slain him ? How ?

Shinobu explained the situation on how Nero defeated Berial.

Mei: That's surprising , seeing as how he managed to defeat Berial ... but one thing still eludes me: did he tell you the color of his flames ?

Shinobu shook her head , Mei sighed .

Mei: If Nero managed to defeat Berial then he just painted a huge target on his back .

She looks back outside and sees Nero being overpowered by Vergil so easily.

Mei: Judging from how the fighting is Progressing outside ... I'd say he got lucky?

Kanae : Nero always makes his own luck from time to time , but yeah he got lucky . Why does the color of his flames matter ?

Mei looked over at Kanae.

Mei: The Berial that I'm thinking of , has blue flames . Blue flames in the underworld are hotter than any other . While crimson red flames are just small fragments of his power .

After her explaining the difference between the Berial that Nero fought and The Berial that Mei knows. Kanae looks outside and Nero is on his back breathing very heavily. With Vergil standing with the sword in the ground.

Vergil: You haven't awoken Yamato yet . I'm gonna teach you how to awaken it. As well has help you hone your dark breathing . I can only stay here for 10 days, after that your on your own.

Nero , covered in cuts, his uniform all torn up . Laid their breathing heavily. He gripped Yamato as tight as he could. He stared at Vergil , as he stared back. Vergil pulled his hood up and once he did he started to cough badly. Mei ran out and helped him as he was about to fall over .

Nero: Vergil ... you okay ?

He tries to stand up only to fall back down .

Vergil : I'm fine Nero , I haven't used Dark Breathing in years..

Vergil looks at his hand and it slowly starts to fall apart.

Vergil : Well continue tomorrow ...
