A Demon's Reunion - [DMC5]

Mission 14: Diverging Point: V

June 15 - 1:13 pm

When they all fell and were separated V acted quick and summoned Griffon to help soften his landing but as his own body was slowly falling apart even Griffon was getting tired and had no choice but to let V down.

"Damn, just a little longer. Come on..." V muttered.

He tried to get up to his feet but much to weak he quickly fell to the ground just as quick.

"I must...go...Before he loses completely! Before we...lose Freya all together..." V said using the cane to help him stand up.

Using the cane as something to hold himself up as he walked forwards he knew he needed to keep moving, so V pushed his weak body and continued on. He pushed himself so far that at times he'd have to stop and take a short break.

This happened to many times where when he came up to a certain area that was dark and glowing a bit purple, suddenly he felt dizzy and fell over on his knees, but what happened next was shocking his familiars were drawn out of him and his once black hair turned white.

Falling over his eye sight was a bit blurry but he saw a demon before him laughing, it wasn't long though before he had passed out.

While he was out he dreams of Freya...not sure how or why but V did.

He was the other half of Vergil's being after all...

"Oh my dear, you push yourself to hard...please try to be careful okay?" Freya's voice was heard.

V wasn't sure where it came from but within all the black her voice was clear as day, Freya...the woman who meant the world to a single man. Oh how he had hoped she'd forgive him especially with how the other half of his soul was treating her.

"I know you wish to protect me after that demon attacked me, but I can handle myself you know V-" Freya's voice spoke once more but the name she said afterwards cut off.

Freya...

"Freya..." V whispered as he woke up finally.

Getting up V looked at his arms and saw that the tattoos on his body were nearly gone, grabbing the cane he used it to push himself up to his feet. Whatever this place was had also started to heal his body a bit not to mention the fact it gave him a gift to hear Freya's voice again after not being able to hear it for a month.

However before he could even think of leaving this place he needed to regain his familiars back, going through the first 'gate' he noticed that the three of them were in orb form and had been in front of a long ago defeated demon.

So which ever gate he went through he'd have to deal with the demon first before leaving huh? He did remember seeing three of them so does that mean he'll have to go through each one as he regains them all?

'If that's the case I need to act fast, he will no longer wait and if he gets away with it all...Freya will remain in that crystal...' V thought.

First off V retrieved Shadow, not long later the demon standing behind the three of his familiars 'woke' up and the battle soon began. To V it felt like a long hard battle but after he won that battle he was transported back outside.

So he was correct this is how he was suppose to get the others back....well well so be it.

Going through the other 'gate' V then went for Griffion next and when the room lit up like it did in the first one Griffon was back yet the demon before him was as well. With not much of a choice V battled this demon with both Shadow and Griffon.

The same exact thing happened when he went to get back Nightmare, once the three were back and all battles were won V found himself back outside from those rooms and just a few ways away was a gate. Seems like their one ticket out of there huh?

"Let's get the hell outta here! This humidity is killing me!" Griffon says.
"Agreed. It's time we got back on course." V replies.
"Haha! You just wanna save her lover boy." Griffon teases.

V ignores him and just ran through the door, thankfully it helped him get back and he found himself back where he had fell down getting up he looked around this time Griffon was there with him so he knew he was back for sure.

"We finally made it out! That thing was something else..." Griffon says.
"Best we avoid it, if possible. Especially given my...condition." V replies.

Continuing onward V soon came up to an area where it seemed to be like a blood flowing through some sort of vein within this tree or some sorts? But when he got further up he could hear the others fighting some demons and when he kept going he saw some brief glimpses of them.

"They're safe..." V mutters.
"No time to worry about them, V. We've gotta hurry." Griffon says.

V knew he had no time to stop and get worried, much less with the fact that Urizen had Freya and when he reaized his mistakes he knew that the proper way to keep Freya safe was not to have her within a crystal...he just hoped all this time she'd be able to forgive him.

Or that what Trish said was true...about Freya's strength...

'One can only hope...' V said.

Continuing on and killing off a few demons on the way V soon came up to a area where the demon that he had breifly saw was standing in the middle of the place.

"If he reaches the fruit, it will all be over. Even Mundus failed to reign over the human world...Surely, we know he will not." Malphas spoke.
"Malphas! No way can we handle her, we don't have the strength!" Griffon whispers to V.
"I know. But we must get through this, somehow." V said, looking at his hand which was cracking and slowly crumbling away at a slow rate...he didn't have much time.

When he attempted to get up some of the rubble where he was fell and caught the hearing of Malphas, quickly V crawled back and forced himself to blend into the wall as much as he could his breath shaken as he hoped she wouldn't see him.

"Ahh, an intruder perhaps? I"m coomiing..." Malphas says.

But before she could get even closer to where V was two gun shots went off and hit her. V gasped a bit but took a careful look once he knew Malphas looked behind her and both of them saw Nero and Sparrow walking towards her.

"Someone call for an ass-kicking?" Sparrow asked, smirking.
