Chapter 15 - Significant Information

The gadgets were pretty useful. Nero wondered where she got more from. It looked like her whole pocket was full of them. Focus. He told himself. Walking through this desert was a pretty hard job. Feet kept getting stuck. He didn’t understand how Dante and Vergil could deal with it.

“There it is,” Dante called out. “What is it?”

“Link told me it is called Arbiter’s Grounds,” said Lightning. “Like you got the Dominion Rod in the Sacred Grove, I’m guessing someone will get something from here too. Must be special.”

Nero looked at Arbiter’s Grounds. It looked like a colosseum on the outside with an entrance from a palace. The entrance door was wide open and the gates were half broken. At the top, they could see two towers with insignias on them, but they weren’t very visible. “What’s at the top?”

“The Mirror Chamber. Our rendezvous point.”

“Okay. Let’s get going.”

They walked towards the entrance. Vergil looked straight up. “What happened to this place?”

“Who knows?” replied Dante.

They looked at each other and walked through the big archway, leading them to their second bloody palace of hell.

At the Ordon Spring again, Midna came out of the darkness of Link’s shadow and spoke to the spring enthusiastically. “Where is it?”

“You are seeking the Fused Shadow. As you should know, it is absolutely dangerous. The one you seek from me is the one you already have.”

“What? This thing?” Midna pointed to the armour or helmet on her head.

“Absolutely. You should go now to the Eldin province, which is where you will find the ones you seek, Wielder of the Triforce of Courage.”

Back at Arbiter’s Grounds, Lightning stopped walking again. She closed her eyes and opened them. The others had stopped and turned to look at her. But their eyes were wide open. They looked traumatized. She felt like she was getting smaller and smaller by the second. She looked down and around her. She was in quicksand. Nero wanted to run towards her but he couldn’t without getting sucked in.

Dante whispered something into Vergil’s ear. Dante grabbed Lightning while Vergil grabbed his legs. The quicksand sucked her in even more. Nero ran and pulled on Vergil’s body. There was no difference.

Nero continued to pull Vergil when he got an idea. “Dante. Devil trigger!”

Dante turned into his devil form again. With the strength of his devil, Dante finally pulled Lightning out. They all fell back on the rocky path and breathed heavily.

“Lightning, why did you stop?” asked Dante.

She sighed. “I…keep getting these feelings. It feels as though something bad is happening. I’ve never had these before. It’s strange. I don’t know why.” She shook her head. “Anyways, thanks for, you know, helping me.”

Dante looked at her and smiled. “Hey, what are team mates for?” He stood up. “Okay. Let’s get going. And watch where we step.”

The others stood up one by one and dusted themselves off. They walked in a single file towards the huge doors at the end of the sandy hallway.
