*Vergil and Charlie arrive at the castle.

Leopold: Did you find the Sparda?

*Vergil holds up his sword.

Leopold: No that's...wait?

Vergil: The Yamato and Sparda are now one.

Leopold: Not going to ask how but sure.

Charlie: How's Via been?

Francesco: Better but still hurt. Stolas has accepted it more than Via.

Charlie: Feel sorry for her.

Lucifer: So what do we do now?

Vergil: We need to lure Mundus and weaken him. After that I will end him with the Yamato.

Lucifer: How do we lure him?

Vergil: He will know when I am on Earth and will pursuit after me.

Leopold: When do we head to Earth?

Vergil: Soon.

Lucifer: We are going with you.

Vergil: I was wanting your help.

Francesco: It's getting late.

Vergil: That it is. Rest well we will head to Earth tomorrow.

*At night.

Vergil: If only you were hear Dante. If you can hear me brother I forgive you for what you did. I wish I could apologize for forming a rivalry that tore us apart. 

*Charlie walks up to Vergil to listen.

Vergil: Trouble sleeping?

Charlie: I heard you out here.

*Charlie sits next to Vergil.

Charlie: Your still thinking about your brother?

Vergil: Amongst the rest I am.

Charlie: You know he still loved you till death.

Vergil: What makes you think that?

Charlie: He did try to grab you to stop falling into Hell right?

Vergil: I suppose he did. I never returned the love.

Charlie: It's alright. We all make mistakes.

*Charlie slides her hand to Vergil's.

Charlie: I'm sure he's happy to hear that you are at peace.

Vergil: The cost to find the peace-

Charlie: I'm sure he'd fine with that. 

Vergil: All these years I have tried to run away from my past, escape the nightmares in my head, The howling darkness would never fade. That was until a light unlike any other shined. It shined to where the darkness retreated, the monsters gone, the past accepted thanks to you. I feel like a new life is set forth ahead for me.

Charlie: You know my life has not been the best. Being a princess of Hell means that your father wants you to be ruthless and uncaring. Demons hated me because of what I believed and what I did. I did the opposite of everything they wanted. I always felt like I was alone with what I thought. Harsh as it sounds even my closest friends and demons I called family and it always felt they were never on board with my ideas and they were more or less just appeasing me. 

Vergil: The reason you are telling me this?

Charlie: Because you are not like them. For once I felt like someone actually cared about my ideas. As much as I loved Vaggie she is caring but on;y towards me.
