"Dante!" Nero yelled. The three hunters had climbed up just in time to see the older hunter swing his sword onto his shoulder. "Your late," he grumbled. "Just finishing up." taking a step back he stood beside Nero.

V PoV

A heartbeat echoed in my ears drowning out Nero and Dante' voices. This hearbeat it sounded like Laura' yet it was vastly different. It beated in anticipation, the anticipation of rejoining. Ah I remember now. Glancing to Little wanderer I stared at the chain around her neck. She still held on tightly to my arm. Afraid to let go I see.  "You really are ours."

Blinking her eyes she turned to me. "Huh? Did you say some-" I didn't let her finish for I had sealed her lips with a kiss. "I'll see you soon." whispering against her lips. She blushed immensely just how I remember when we would catch her off guard. Removing my arm I made my way to my other half.

"In the last throes of defeat I see." my power draining with every step I took. "You.." my counterpart groaned. "V! Get back. Things are about to get really messy." Dante warned. Using my cane to support myself I turned to slightly face him. "No please. Let me." not really begging but given the state this body was in, I could not do much else.

"Alright whatever you say." stepping back. Shifting back to my goal I began the treck again.

Urizen PoV

The weakness fumbled on top of us as if it were by it's own merits it defeated us. She pulsed again this time stronger, I could smell her excitement. "Do not struggle." It panted. Glaring at it, I growled. I wanted to rip it to shreds. "You should know better than me that this is what she wants. She grows tired. She wants to go home with us. She knows that if you can't defeat me. You've already lost." it mumbled. Her heart pulsed at its words. Even after gaining all that power how can she still have a human heart.

I reached a claw towards Dante, growling "I will not lose, Not to Dante." However my eyes fell to her. "You see it too." moving back to it I groaned.

Normal PoV

Laura clutched onto Nero's arm intimidated by Urizen' voice yet her body responded differently. Why is my body so warm all of a sudden? she asked herself. Looking back to Urizen she watched as V kneeled on the demons chest. "We are one and the same, you and I. And she loves us both. That is why she stayed with us both." V mumbled. "Yet you've lost me, and I've lost you."

"We are connected by her and that one feeling." the poet wheezed. Laura didn't catch what V said next. All she could do was watch as the cracked man rose his cane as much as he could. Aiming it for the center eye on Urizens chest.

Suddenly Dante began to run, "While thy branches mix with mine and our roots together join." V plunged his cane into Urizens body.

A brilliant dark blue erupted from the Urizen consuming V. The pillar shot straight up shattering the illusion. The force of the stream pushing Dante back next to where Nero and Laura were. Nero grabbed ahold of Laura so she wouldn't fly into the wall.

Glass fell away as the light died, through dazed vision Laura could see a figure emerge. The figure turned there head, slicked back hair seeming black in the dying light. Lowering his arm and putting it protectively in front of Laura, Nero stared at the person. Wondering who they were and what happened to V.

Dante only grimaced, his blue eyes glinting in the shadows of his hair. Before he could open his mouth Laura spoke. "V, is that you?" her soft voice reaching the other males ears. Coming out from behind the twenty two year old she slowly walked towards the man. Blue eyes peered over their shoulder watching.

"Laura get back here!" Nero called. She ignored him and continued walking towards the stranger. The figure fully turned facing the group. Nero saw a glint of something in the males left hand. "Laura get down!" before his voice could reach her.  The man was in front of her, Yamato' blade piercing her heart.

Removing his left hand from the hilt of Yamato he gripped her neck pulling Laura close to his mouth. Leaning in his breath tickling the shell of her ear. "That body does not belong to you. Get out."

As if Laura was nothing more than a corpse, the man shoved her off Yamato and swiftly moved back to where he was. Just as fast as the man was Laura vanished before Nero could even move. "What the hell is this?" he demanded looking to Dante for answers. "Vergil." Dante growled.

Sheathing Yamato Vergil took notice of something on the ground. Picking up the book his face was unreadable to the two men. "Ya got some pretty big cojones for comin' back."  Now looking at Dante he watched as the red clad hunter rushed towards the dark blue clad devil. "Just don't know when to give up do ya!" at the last part the white haired male jumped raising his devil arm about to swing it down on Vergil.

Vergil parried it with ease and in one fluid motion pushed his twin away with the tip of the sheathed Yamato. Grimacing Dante grabbed a hold of the scabbard. Twirling in the air to face his brother and like a javelin he threw the scabbard back at Vergil.

The elder twin grimaced in annoyance as he skidded from the impact of the scabbard being forced onto Yamato' blade. Both brothers glared at each other. Sharply turning to the boy Dante yelled at him to leave this to him.

Making a dash towards his brother again he swung his blade. Before he could fully make it to him Vergil flashed forward. Yamato and Devil Sword Dante clashed, the steel of the opposing forces flashed as metal grind against metal. Vergil stayed silent as he effortlessly held Dante' attack at bay. "C'mon Vergil, let's do this." the red clad hunter growled.

Blue eyes stared at his brother, "Heal your wounds Dante, get strong." his voice cold as his eyes slightly glowed. "After that we'll settle the matter." with that statement Vergil, with Yamato's sheath swept his legs from underneath him and swung Yamato down.

The younger twin grunted as he made impact with floor. Nero watched Dante right himself, turning back to Vergil he watched as the elder twin opened a portal. Taking a step into it he stopped, glancing back to the boy. He bowed his head, "Thank you Nero."

Entering the portal Vergil disappeared.
