A Demon's Reunion - [DMC5]

Mission 18: Awakening

June 15th - 3:06 pm

Dante, Nero and Sparrow stood in their spots just looking at Vergil who in return looked at them. Turning his gaze to the ground under his feet he found his old book he had, inside were pages he used to read to his wife with when she would become restless some nights.

Crouching down he gentle picked it up, looking at the book for a moment before turning his gaze back to the other three.

"Ya have some pretty big cojones for coming back. Just don't know when to give up, do ya!?" Dante said, running to Vergil and attacking.
But Vergil used the Yamato to swat him away, then jab him in the chest only for Dante to remove the sheath and send it back forcing the two apart sliding on the ground before regaining their footing.

Meanwhile Nero and Sparrow stood there watching in confusion...what was going on?!

"Get out of my way, Nero! Sparrow!" Dante shouts, running at Vergil attacking.
"Defeating you like this has no meaning." Vergil said.
"C'mon, Vergil. Let's do this!" Dante said urging him on.
"Heal your wounds, Dante. Get strong. After that, we'll settle the matter." Vergil replies.

Not long later he swipes at him forcing Dante back a bit more, Nero and Sparrow looking confused as ever not knowing what to think or do about this matter, all Sparrow however could do at the moment was hold onto Nero's arm.

Vergil on the other hand just turned around and cut the space in front of him opening a 'portal', sheathing the Yamato Vergil then picked Freya up into his arms carrying his wife like a bride and walked towards the portal...but not without looking over his shoulder at Nero and Sparrow.

"Thank you, Nero. Sparrow." Vergil said, walking through it closing behind him.
"Dammit." Dante sighed.
"If that's your brother, then what happened to V?" Nero asked him.
"He returned...to himself. Go home Nero. This doesn't concern you. And Sparrow head back as well." Dante sighed, walking away.
"Like hell! I lost my right arm because of him!" Nero said following him.
"This is not your fight. I need to stop him and save Freya, that's all that matters." Dante said still walking.
"I'm tagging along with you, dad!" Sparrow says back.
"I'm not gonna let you have all the fun, Dante!" Nero replies.
"You don't get it!" Dante said, facing him now.
"Lemme guess, I'm dead weight? You can shove that-" Nero said but was interrupted.
"That's not it, Nero." Dante says.
"What is it then!" Nero shouts.
"Their your parents!" Dante shouts back.
"What!?" Nero said, shock taking over as he shook his head looking to his feet.
"I had the feeling the first time I saw you, but I just wasn't sure. And then I saw how the Yamato reacted...and I was certain. As well as how Freya was like when she recognized you...their your parents." Dante explains.
"If she's my mother...why did she...?" Nero asked.
"She had you when she was really young, Nero. In the beginning she was planning on raising you with her in your life but when demons attacked she made the hardest choice of her life. She gave you up to protect you but when we saw you the first time she regretted it....But I think she regretted giving you up far longer than that, so don't be mad with her she wished to keep you safe." Dante explains.
"Then why the hell not tell me this sooner!!" Nero shouts.
"She tried, but she was afraid. For the first time in years I've known that women she was afraid...afraid her own son would hate her for what she regretted most." Dante said.

After that he explained to Nero that he needed to give his father an ass-kicking but he couldn't have Nero kill his father much less give his mother more heartbreak then she already had been.

When Dante walked off Nero was given the chance to take it all in, looking towards the area Dante walked off down he was still in shock. Sparrow on the other hand just watched her father walk off.
