The Calm to The Storm (Vergil x Oc)

His Trigger

      The moon held it's place as it reached it's peak just over the tower. The blood red light permeating the platform and illuminating the flowers with a demonic bioluminescence. The energy pulsing from the flower containing Zane's body began to quicken causing the larger flower holding Seara to grow. Their father watched now once again in his demonic form as everything he worked for was moments from beginning. As his teeth shone from the light of the moon with the sinister smile he kept, the sound of a vehicle approaching in the distance drew him away. He turned to face the sound and narrowed his vision, though as he began to sense the demonic energy he knew who came at them with such speed. The sons of Sparda and their crew had found them all too soon and he knew he had to do whatever he could to delay them. Taking flight he made his way from the tower and summoned the projectiles that floated behind him into a position to attack from afar. He instantly saw two flashes of blue and one of red eject themselves from the van and head straight for him. He had to hold out for at least a few minutes before he could activate the full effects of Nightmare Lullaby.

     Seara ran through the field of wildflowers with her brother laughing behind her as he tried to catch her. Their mother stayed on the rock with their father beside her laughing at the sight. Her father was a kind man back then, happy and caring. He always did his best to protect them no matter the threat. He had learned about demons and how to fight them when they came across one on a rainy day. Ever since he strived to become stronger to protect them even going as far as to train Seara and Zane. Finally her brother caught up with her and tackled her into the flowers where they struggled with each other for a few minutes before Seara ran out of breath and gave in. Zane climbed off of her and started slowing his breathing before turning to her and opened his mouth...but when he spoke the words that she heard didn't match with the movement of his lips. "Seara...you need...to wake up" the voice was his...but much older than how he looked which only confused her. Zane looked at her for a moment before he actually spoke "you alright sis? didn't make you forget how to breathe did I?" he asked with a grin on his face. Seara pushed him over with a laugh "Of course not, I just...thought I heard something" she looked to the mountain in the distance and wondered if what she heard was real..or just her imagination.

     It was strange to Vergil now how many times in the past few days he had to end up Using his Devil Trigger as he, Dante, and Nero fought Seara's father once more. This time they knew to avoid the quills that laced their way down his spine and covered the back of his tail. He summoned his clone which began to mimic his attacks at varying speeds. It was all for her, to rescue the one person he couldn't admit his feelings for. All the power he fought for over the years that he had just began trying to use to mend the bond's he had broken with his brother and start one with his son was now focused on saving this woman he had only met a week ago. He had to save her...he knew her suffering and had to be the one to save her from it. After so long he never had much reason to use his power except to break any walls in his way...but now...she had become his reason. Seara had become his trigger and his reason for fighting with everything he had. He had more that he wanted to protect now than just his son, his inner devil urged him to use everything he had gained for her. It called out to her in the hopes her devil would reply and howled when it gained silence in response. It angered Vergil more than anything he had ever dealt with before, even Dante's idiocy couldn't match it. If he truly had these feelings then he had to share them with her, he couldn't contain it anymore. If there was even a chance he could have someone to love and love him in return he was going to take it..he needed it. Dante had caught Seara's father overhead with Devil Sword Dante sending him tumbling towards the ground where Vergil waited with his power fully charged. As his target fell into his range Vergil executed his Judgement Cut with every ounce of power he had, dragging Yamato as many times as he could through armor, scales, and skin before returning to his position and sheathing his sword to end the attack. The sound of dimensions shattering was followed by gargled screams of pain and anger as Seara's father fell to his knees. "I...won't let this...end this way" he growled and fought his way back to his feet. Before Nero could insult him the red light around them exploded and a shockwave hit them. Dante looked towards the tower and saw that it had started to catch fire in certain places with the moon directly over it, a pillar of fire coming down onto the top of the tower. Hearing a laugh they turned to see their target fade away "it begins..everything has come together...I must be there to see it in full" and with that he was gone. "He is heading back to the tower, we gotta stop whatever he is doing, fast!" Dante called in his demon form taking off soon after with the other two right behind him.

      "Seara...you have to....wake up!" the voice called to her louder this time and in a state of panic. It was dark out when Seara left the tent to find the source of this voice. It sounded so much like her brother...but why was she hearing this? he was asleep and he shouldn't sound so old. Something else was causing her to feel uneasy...like wherever she was couldn't be real, it was a nagging feeling that almost made her feel like running away. She stood at the edge of the lake and looked down into the water. At first she saw herself as she was there, but suddenly she saw flashes of her brother and he WAS older. He looked like he was screaming at her and then she began to see herself...she was older too...and sleeping? She was in some sort of liquid...it looked like.... blood? That's when she began to remember, her father had taken her...away from her friends..away from Vergil. She remembered it was Vergil she was screaming for...but where was he? Seara focused on her reflection again but this time she saw her true self and she screamed for him again "Vergil?! please...where are you? I need you! please Vergil I-..." she didn't realize how much she wanted to tell him how she felt...how much she did need him. Suddenly she felt a rush of pain causing her to fall to her knees and cry out. Her reality began to shift around her and when she managed to open her eyes she cried out again, but this time it wasn't in pain...it was in shock...in fear. Her family lay scattered around her except for her father, mangled and covered in blood while everything around her burned. Seara choked on her terror for a moment before screaming as loud as she could...all the trauma returned to her in that moment.

       Her father only laughed when Seara screamed as the flower began to open. The fire that rained down from the moon causing it to grow and bloom at a rapid pace. The nightmare had begun and it would be enough to keep her drowning in his spell, enough to keep control over her and the power he forced into her. Everything he had worked for was for this very moment and now even the force that made it's way towards them wouldn't stop him.
