Sunset's journey
S1E3 Bloodline
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Do you remember this place?” Questioned Vergil as he lead is brother and sister into a park.
“Yeah I remember coming here.” Replied Dante, as he looked around.
“So do I, sort of!” Replied Sunset Shimmer also known as Kamen Rider Symbol currently in her active style.
“Our mother used to bring us here.” Explained Vergil.
“Tell us everything!” Ordered Dante.
“Somethings have always been.” Began Vergil was they walked past a wall with angels battling demons painted on it. “There have always been angels and there have been demons and they have always been at war.” Vergil stopped walking and looked up at the Limbo city bank. “Nine millennia ago, one demon rose through the ranks to take power over the dark hordes. The strongest, the cruellest: Mundus.” Moving in front of some swings, that were in front of a wall that had an image of a male demon kissing a female angel, Vergil moved on: “But Mundus did not rise alone. At this right hand was his most trusted lieutenant, his blood brother-”
Dante leaned on the swing bar, while Sunset sat on the remaining swing. “Sparda.” He stated.
Vergil nodded. “But Sparda betrayed his brother, he fell in love with an Angel, Eva.”
“I’m gonna go on a wild guess and say that Mundus didn’t take that too well.” Drawled Sunset.
Vergil nodded. “An understatement if I’ve ever heard one.” Sitting down on a nearby bench he continued. “The secret union between Angel and Demon was, inconceivable. But it happened and with it came new life, twin boy’s.” He nodded to Dante. “You and I. A hybrid of the warring Angel and Demon races.” Behind him on the wall was graffiti of two new born babies.
“And me?” Asked Sunset.
Vergil hesitated. “When we went into hiding, Sparda found a teenage armoured girl that was neither human, angel or demon. His honour wouldn't allow him to leave it, so he took the creature in and raised her as a daughter.”
Symbol was somewhat disappointed. “So you don’t know where I come from?”
“I’m sorry Symbol, but no.” Replied Vergil sadly.
“You ok?” Asked Dante when Symbol turned away.
“Yeah, I’m fine. It, just, I thought I might finally be able to find out who or what I was, I’m so close yet so far, to finding the people who gave birth to me! Never mind.” She glanced at Vergil. “Continue, B-B-B.”
Vergil wave a chuckle. “You don’t have to acknowledge the siblings bond just yet. Anyways; When Mundus learn of Sparda’s betrayal, his fury knew no limit.” Looking at another wall this one had graffiti of a man in a suit, with purple skin and his head cut open. He was holding a bleeding Eva. “He hunted the lovers down. Eva was murdered by his own hand, and for Sparda he demanded a more brutal fate: Endless punishment and pain.” Next to Mundus image was one of a black demon in chains. “But even as Eva was destroyed and Sparda imprisoned for eternity, each knew that the seeds for their revenge had already been sown.” Vergil stopped walking and turned to his siblings. “Because according to legend, the only beings that can slay a demon king are either Nephilim, a hybrid of angel and demon, or a Kamen Rider, which is a being that looks to be made of armour and control’s its powers through a belt!” Both Dante and Symbol's eyes / lenses widened.
“Those hybrids and the Kamen Rider now exist, the three of us!” As they walked into a tunnel Vergil continued his explanation. “Mundus believed that only one child had been born and that the Kamen Rider was destroyed when she tried to avenge the angel that had nurse her back to health. But there were two Nephilim and the Kamen Rider had lived. Each of the sons had been hidden well. Sparda armed his sons, the Rebellion for Dante and the Yamato for Vergil, while Symbol had her own weapon a shape changing device called sunshine dawn."
“At least now we know what Dante’s sword is called.” Muttered Sunset.
Dante stopped walking, wanting to make sure that he had gotten everything right. “So Mundus killed our mom and imprisoned our dad.”
“Yes.”
“And we’re the offspring of an angel and a demon.”
“Demon father, angel mother. We are Nephilim. We are the only ones that can slay a demon king.”
“Good. How?” Asked Sunset, as she leaned against a wall.
Vergil opened his mouth, but was cut off.
“Daaaaannnnnnnnnnntttttttttteeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Three head whipped towards the voice, and saw a man with black bleeding eyes staggering towards them.
“A spotter! Fucking demon collaborators!” Growled Vergil as he pulled a small knife from his coat and threw it at the man, piercing it right through the head!
Sunset jumped away from the wall like it was on fire as the tunnel started to shift.
Vergil turned back to them. “Your both being dragged into Limbo! I’ll find Kat, she’ll get both of you out! Stand firm!” Vergil ran off and Dante cracked his neck.
Several shielded bathos materialized in mid-air, Dante quickly pulled out Ebony and Ivory, before opening fire on them.
“DANTE!” Shouted Sunset as she drew the sunshine dawn sword style to deflect the bullets that bounced off the shield. “We already figured out that bullets don’t work on shields you braindead idiot!” She slipped the bind ring from her right ring chain’s second slot onto her right middle finger. She then pressed down on the left shift lever, turning the hand author to the right and scanned the ring.
[TOUCH TO CHANGE YOUR CLASS: BIND PLEASE!]
The bind glyph burst into being to her right and ran through Symbol, as she transformed into her active bind style. She then pressed down on the right shift lever twice and scanned the bind ring once more.
[TOUCH TO CAST YOUR SPELL: BIND B LEVEL SPELL!]
“Chain whippier!” The bind glyph flashed below her feet and she swung the orange chain that appeared out of her left palm. It slammed into one of the shielded bathos knocking it into its friend.
Dante used the angel lift to get into the face of one and breaking it’s shield with several quick slashes while still in the air. He then spun osiris around to attack another and killed the third with another several slashes from the now named rebellion. At that moment several death knights pulled themselves from the ground and attacked. Dante used the demon pull to get one of them off balance, before sending it into the air by smashing arbiter into the ground which sent a wave of energy at it. Another attacked Dante from behind, but he ducked under it and slashed at it’s legs with rebellion.
Symbol, quickly passed her hand over the left ring chain’s first slot which caused the active ring to return to said slot, before moving her hand to the second slot, the giga ring jumped onto her left middle finger. She pressed down on her left shift lever once and scanned the ring.
[TOUCH TO ENTER THE MAGIC: GIGA PLEASE: BREAK THROUGH!]
Symbol then pressed down on the left shift lever once more and scanned the giga ring for a second time.
[TOUCH TO USE THE MAGIC: GIGA C RANK SPELL!]
The giga glyph flashed below her feet as green energy gather around her fist “Giga punch!” The Kamen Rider slammed her fist down on the head of a lesser Stygian, before blocking a blow from a death knight, with sunshine dawn spear style’s shaft, before she pressed down on the blade, making it turn back into its axe form, trapping the demon’s blade arm! As it struggled to free itself, Sunset opened the hand author by pulling the thumb and scanned the giga ring.
[COME ON AND SMASH SHAKE HANDS: GIGA SMASH STRIKE!]
The giga glyph flashed on the hand author as power gathered in the blade. “Circle of the giga!” She spun around her axe’s blade leave a trail of semi solid green aura that damaged one hell knight, only off it to be killed by the other hell knight that the axe was dragging with it. Right before she blocked a blow from a lesser stygian and kicked it in the shin, breaking it’s leg, she rammed her elbow into its head taking it off it’s shoulders. Several lesser stygians and a hell knight pulled themselves out of the ground around Sunset. The Kamen Rider pressed down on the left shift lever our times and scanned the giga ring.
[TOUCH TO USE THE MAGIC: VERY NICE: ACTIVE A RANK SPELL: THE BEST!]
The giga seal appeared below her feet, Sunset quickly charged green aura into her fists which sent out several shockwaves of green energy that killed all of the demons that were coming at her.
“Watch it!” Shouted Dante was he jumped over the shockwave. Ripping apart another lesser stygian with several quick slashes he ducked under a swing from a Hell Knight, before he jumped up and came down with arbiter smashing its shield and switching his axe for his scythe he sent the demon into the air by spinning it like a propeller. As the demon fell back down Dante spun his scythe in the other direction and tore the monster to bits.
“Sorry!” Shouted Sunset. Suddenly another demon burst from the ground, this one being heavily armoured and held a chainsaw! “I give you that Ravager!” Proclaimed the girl.
“Whatever!” Dante charged at it, pulling out rebellion, only for the thing to be faster than he thought, which ended with him getting a chainsaw through the chest!
“DANTE!” Screamed Sunset as her brother was sent flying back. Running forwards she pulled open sunshine dawn axe styles's hand author by pulling the thumb and scanned the giga ring.
[COME ON SMASH AND SHAKE HANDS: GIGA SMASH STRIKE!]
“Circle of the giga!” The giga glyph appeared below her and the Kamen Rider pulled back her weapon as aura roared into the blade, she slammed it down on the demon, which countered with its chainsaw. The two weapons slammed into each other in an explosion of sparks and steel.
Then to Sunset Shimmer's shock the chainsaw broke through her attack, shattering her axe and slamming into her chestplate. By which time it had lost most of its strength but it still sent her flying into a wall! “Owie!” She groaned as she pulled herself back to her feet. “We can’t beat it!” She muttered as Dante lashed out with his scythe, only to be overpowered by the demon and have to use the angel lift to retreat. Suddenly Sunset noticed that the active ring was glowing and she smiled softly. “You always seem to have an answer.” She removed the giga ring from her left middle finger and put it back in the second slot on the left ring chain. Before taking the active ring from the first slot and placing it on her left middle finger, she then pressed down on the left shift lever and scanned the ring.
[TOUCH TO ENTER THE MAGIC: ACTIVE PLEASE: LETS GO!]
The active glyph appeared to her right and went through her, transforming the Kamen Rider into her active style. She then saw a glow coming from the right ring chain, it now had a four slot with a red ring that had a grey kite shield shaped gem in the centre of it.
“Lets hope that this does something good.” Sunset took the ring and placed it on her right middle finger, pressed down on the right shift lever and scanned the new ring.
[TOUCH TO CHANGE YOUR CLASS: DEFEND PLEASE!]
A seal winked into being to the right of the Kamen Rider; it had a grey kite shield in the centre of it inside a circle that was coloured silver inside a grey eight pointed star inside a second silver circle. It passed over her transforming Symbol into her new style.
Her right shoulder guard turned grey with a pair of silver vertical circle wrapping around it. Her overcoats chest now bore a grey kite shield image, with silver outlines and a silver line going from each corner to the edge of the coat. A grey kite shield called the defend guard appeared in her hand. It had silver outlines and a vertical silver line going through the centre of it.
“A shield against a chainsaw?” Symbol shrugged. “This will either go really well or really bad!” The ravager charged and she pressed down on the right shift lever once and scanned the defend ring.
[TOUCH TO CAST YOUR SPELL: DEFEND C LEVEL SPELL!]
“Innershine!” The defend guard glowed and summoned a square shaped wall of red and grey energy just in front of it, the chainsaw slammed into the wall, but failed to pierce through! While Symbol was forced back a few feet thanks to the force of the blow, it was better than being sent into a wall. “Ok that went well.” She swung crescent rose sword style around and slashed at the demon several times, before kicking the ravager back. She then gave it a shield bash to the face, before jumping back from a chainsaw strike and round housing it in the face. Symbol then pulled open her sword’s hand author by pulling the thumb and scanned the defend ring.
[COME ON AND SLASH SHAKE HANDS: DEFEND SLASH STRIKE!]
The defend guard vanished as the defend glyph flashed on the sword’s hand author. Grey energy covered sunshine dawn as its owner grabbed the hilt with both hands. “Take this Sword vs shield!” Symbol swung the weapon as it morphed into a large rectangle shaped grey sword with no point that could be mistaken for a slab of metal. It slammed into the ravager’s face and tore its head from its body! “And that's that!” Wizard ran over to her brother. “You ok?”
Dante pulled himself back to his feet. “Yeah.”
The ink barrier vanished and Kat was at the end of the street. “Dante, Sunset, the gateway’s ready! Come on!”
“Could you have put it closer?” Shouted Sunset.
“Why?” Asked Kat. Suddenly the road reared up, then dropped away.
“DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?” Demanded Sunset.
“Sorry!” Replied a sheepish Kat. “Can you get across?”
“WHAT DO YOU THINK?” Shouted Sunset.
“We’ll have to find another way around!” Added Dante. They went back the way they came, when the place started to shift.
Eight lesser stygians burst from the ground, each looking ready for a fight. Dante ran forwards he did a lot of damage by twirling around with osiris, before he sent one into the air by spinning the weapon vertically like a propeller, leapt after it and slashed at it with the scythe type weapon. He dropped to the ground and fired off several shots with ebony and ivory, killing one that he had already damaged. One of them tried to attack him from behind. Sunset Shimmer pressed down on the right shift lever twice and scanned the defend ring.
[TOUCH TO CAST YOUR SPELL: DEFEND B LEVEL SPELL!]
“Spinning shield!” She threw the defend guard, it spun in a disk like fashion, cutting the demon that had been about to attack Dante in half before returning to its wielder cutting a second demon to bits as it did so, Sunset had stabbed another lesser stygian to death she held up her right arm letting the shield slam back into place.
At that moment a ravager burst from the ground. The two of them shared a nod, Dante went for the lesser stygians while Sunset took out the chainsaw demon. The Kamen Rider quickly pressed down on the right shift lever once and scanned the defend ring.
[TOUCH TO CAST YOUR SPELL: DEFEND C LEVEL SPELL!]
“Innershine!” The defend guard project an energy wall, which the demon slammed into, before it was stabbed in the gut by sunshine dawn sword style. Symbol then gave it several quick slashes, before blocking a strike from the chainsaw and slamming the hilt of her sword across its face stunning the ravager. She then pulled down on the sword’s handle causing the blade to shorten and turn into a gun barrel. Several shots were fired, they broke of the demon’s chainsaw arm making it scream in pain. Symbol then opened sunshine dawn rifle style’s hand author by pulling the thumb and scanning the defend ring.
[COME ON AND SHOOT SHAKE HANDS: DEFEND SHOOTING STRIKE!]
The defend glyph appeared in front of the barrel as a ball of grey light collected in front of it. “Shield crushing shot!” Symbol pulled the trigger, firing the bullet which split into four more small bullets, they positioned themselves on each side of the ravager, before they turned into ethereal images of the defend guard, which rushed inwards crushing the demon between them!
Dante used several spinning slashes to dice up one lesser stygian, then he yanked another over to him with the demon pull before ducking under an attack from the last one so that it hit its identical counterpart in the face. He then spear one of the lesser stygians on rebellion before jabbing them so fast that it looked like he had multiple arms! With the demons dealt with for now Dante pointed. “Over there.” To a grapple point for the angel lift.
Symbol nodded. “Lets go.” She took the defend ring from her right middle finger, place it back in her right ring chain’s fourth slot, took the boost ring from the third slot, placed it on her right middle finger, pressed down on the right shift lever and scanned the ring.
[TOUCH TO CHANGE YOUR CLASS: BOOST PLEASE!]
The sound of springs and bouncing came from the driver as the boost glyph appeared to her right and passed over her, transforming the girl into her active boost style. She crouched down and jumped up to the ledge with Dante following. They ran along the corridor behind the ledge when a ink barrier sprang up and as did a ravager.
“Leave this to me!” Ordered Dante, leaving Sunset confused, he slammed arbiter into the ground and sent a wave of demonic energy along it, throwing the demon into the air. He jumped after it and gave it several slashes with rebellion, once they were back on the ground her spun osiris like a vertical propeller, throwing the ravager into the air, before spinning it in the opposite direction and letting it fall back onto the angel weapon. It was killed when he repeated the process with his mothers gift, leaving the Nephilim exhausted.
“What was that about?” Asked Sunset.
“Sorry, I just felt so useless! You killed the last two ravager’s on your own and the first nearly killed me!” Replied Dante.
“We all make mistakes. But so long as we have family and friends to pick us back up, we can learn from them.” Came the gently reply. Dante nodded, they continued on to another ledge, where Dante had to use the angel lift thrice and Sunset followed jumping off walls to keep up. He landed of a ledge and used the demon pull to get some rock from a wall to use as another platform, several jumps later. “Another blue rose?” Questioned Dante. On top of a pillar was a blue rose, it was surrounded by two platforms that orbited it while flipping over as they did so, meaning they’d have seconds if that to jump over. Dante jumped, miss timed it Sunset jumped and tackled him onto the island.
“Think before you act!”
Dante grabbed the blue rose and they were back in the red tunnel. “I hate this!” Shouted Sunset.
“I didn’t ask for your help.” Came Dante’s echo.
Then they were back in the weird place, Dante felt the knowledge of angel lift being implanted into his head, while Sunset felt herself start to transform again.
[TOUCH TO ENTER THE MAGIC: SWIFT PLEASE: DASH AWAY!]
The swift glyph appeared above her and passed over the girl, transforming her into her swift style. Then the driver spoke up again.
[TOUCH TO CHANGE YOUR STYLE: WINGS PLEASE!]
A glyph appeared above her, it was a pair of silver wings inside a red circle inside a silver eight pointed triangle inside a second red circle. The glyph then passed through her transforming the girl into her new style. First her overcoats chest turned silver and now bore a red inverted triangle, with a pair of black wings in the centre of it. Symbol's shoulder armour turned into a pair of silver domes with a pair of small silver wings in front of them that had red outlines. Also coming out of her back was a pair of silver dragon with a red membrane and black outlines.
This is Sunset Shimmer also known as Kamen Rider Symbol swift wing style. They ran along what looked to be part of a street before Dante jumped into the air, trust his arms out to the side and was propelled forwards by a burst of blue light, while Symbol jumped after him her wings gave a hard flap and sent her over the gap. It continued this way for some time without a single battle.
Dante then had to use the angel lift and the angel boost to get across one gap and Symbol pressed down on the right shift lever before scanning the wing ring.
[TOUCH TO CAST YOUR SPELL: WING C LEVEL SPELL!]
The wing glyph appeared below her and her wings gave a big flap, pushing her forwards and over the gap. “Getting the hang on this.” Muttered Dante. “So am I.” Added Symbol. They ran up a flight of stairs, through a door and Dante had to use the angel boost then the demon pull to get a platform under him, while Wizard pressed down on the right shift lever twice and scanned the wing ring
[TOUCH TO CAST YOUR SPELL: WING B LEVEL SPELL!]
The wings gave a hard thrust propelling her into the air and then staying open letting the Kamen Rider glide across the gap. Another two flight of stairs later and they were at the rock that held the statues last chain which Dante promptly destroyed with arbiter. “What are you hiding in there?” Muttered Dante as the statue turned to look at them. It eyes glowed and they were suddenly back in the red tunnel.
“At least give me a chance to show you both.” Came Vergil’s echo. “You don’t remember me?” Came a second echo from Vergil several seconds later.
The next thing the two of the them knew, they were back in Limbo on top of the pillar. Suddenly several bathos appeared, only instead of bombs they were armed with crossbows, thus they shall be known as pathos. “Flying rats?” Muttered Dante resulting in Sunset bursting out laughing.
“I’ll take the air borne demons, you deal with the ground forces.” She ordered once her laughter was under control. Now that they were back in Limbo and not in… whatever that other place was, she could feel that he wings had gotten stronger. Strong enough to let her fly under her own power and not just glide.
She shot into the air and then came back down shooting at the pathos with sunshine dawn blaster style as she did so, they had little armour so they were quickly destroyed.
Dante cut one lesser stygian apart with several hacks from his sword, before using the angel lift to get out of the way of a blow from another demon and spinning osiris like a vertical propeller, sending it into the air, before he spun the scythe weapon in the other direction when the demon fell back onto it. Then a death knight pulled itself from the ground, Dante quickly used the demon pull to yank its shield, getting it off balance, the demon looked up just in time to arbiter slam into its ribs, three heavy blows turned them to dust and then Dante leapt into the air and came down with is father’s gift, pulping the monster’s head. He turned around to deal with the other two lesser stygians, when Sunset pressed down on the right shift lever and scanned the wing ring.
[TOUCH TO CAST YOUR SPELL: WING C LEVEL SPELL!]
“Wing force!” Both of her wings again bladed edges as the wing glyph flashed below her, she shot down and the two lesser stygians were bisected at the waist by the razor sharp wings. At that moment a pair of ravagers burst from the ground. “Two?! We’ve never had that before!” Shouted Symbol.
“We’ll be fine!” Assured Dante.
One of the demons charged. Symbol took the swift ring from her hand and put it back in the third slot on the left ring chain. She then took the active ring from the first slot, place it on her left middle finger, pressed down on the left shift lever and scanned the red ring.
[TOUCH TO ENTER THE MAGIC: ACTIVE PLEASE: LETS GO!]
The active glyph appeared to her left and passed over her, transforming Symbol into her active style. She then pulled open sunshine dawn sword styles's hand author and scanned the active ring.
[COME ON AND SLASH SHAKE HANDS: ACTIVE SLASH STRIKE!]
The active glyph appeared around the sword’s blade and red lightning covered it. “Lightning slash!” Symbol ran forwards she twist to the side at the last second and used the lightning covered sword to force the ravager’s chainsaw to the side, while she pressed down on the left shift lever twice and scanned the active ring.
[TOUCH TO USE THE MAGIC: ACTIVE B RANK SPELL!]
The active glyph flashed again as red lightning surrounded her left fist, which she threw into the demon’s gut, knocking it back. With some breathing room the Kamen Rider too the defend ring from its place in the fourth slot of the right ring chain before placing it on her right middle finger, she then pressed down on the corresponding shift lever and scanned the ring.
[TOUCH TO CHANGE YOUR CLASS: DEFEND PLEASE!]
The defend glyph appeared to her right and passed over her transforming the girl into her active defend style. The ravager shakes off the blow and brings its chainsaw around which was blocked by the defend guard, before it was relieved of its entire arm! Sunset then pressed down on the right shift lever thrice and scanned the defend ring.
[TOUCH TO CAST YOUR SPELL: DEFEND A LEVEL SPELL!]
The guard sent grey entire from the blows it had absorbed when it was used earlier into Sunset's other hand, the ravager swung its chainsaw around which was once again forced to the side by the shield. Grey light collected around the Kamen Riders hand as a the defend glyph flashed below her feet. “Shooting defence!” By now an orb of grey light was surrounded the fist that was sent forwards and slammed into the demon’s face ripping it from its body.
Dante slammed arbiter down sending a wave of demonic energy into the ground which catapulted the ravager into the air, he jumped after it getting level with the angel lift, before he slashed at it several times with osiris. Landing back on the ground he bombards it with bullets from his guns, but it still gets back up. The demon charged, but Dante was able to use the angel lift to get out of the way, the close the distance with the demon pull, stabbing it with rebellion, he then launched a barrage of stabs that made it look like his one had had turned into several. The ravager charges again, but Dante jumped out of the way then fires arbiter’s head at its back making it stumble. He then ran over, spinning osiris like a vertical propeller to sent the demon into the air, before spinning it the other way and letting the ravager fall back on it, finally destroying the tough demon.
With all the demons gone the ink barrier vanished. Dante was able to get across with his angel boost, while Sunset took the active ring off her finger and placed it back in the third slot of the left ring chain, took the active ring from the first slot and put it on her left middle finger, before pressing down on the left shift lever and scanning the ring.
[TOUCH TO ENTER THE MAGIC: SWIFT PLEASE: DASH AWAY!]
The swift glyph appeared above her and transformed the Kamen Rider into her swift style, she took the wing ring from the first slot on the right ring chain, placed it on her right middle finger, pressed down on the right shift lever and scanned the ring.
[TOUCH TO CHANGE YOUR STYLE: WINGS PLEASE!]
The wing glyph winked into being above her change changed her into her swift wing style.
They reached Kat and the gateway both the Kamen Rider and Nephilim vanished from Limbo and back into the real world.
Back at the order HQ
“Silver Sacks Tower.” Began Vergil, as he brought up an image of said building on the monitor. “The world’s most powerful investment bank and who runs it?” An image of a bald man appeared on the screen, clearly a photo of a newspaper clipping. “CEO Kyle Ryder. A human vessel: The physical manifestation of Mundus the demon king”. Another image appeared, this time of Mundus looking at the camera. “Through debt he controls everything. To Mundus, the world is a factory or farm for human souls. So he likes to keep his animals docile and monitored.” An image of a security camera and a factory appeared. Then it changed to one of a news tower. “The monitoring is done by the Raptor News Corporation, a global network of CCTV cameras, satellites and spies.” Vergil paused at the next part. “The way he keeps us docile is a...a little more insidious.”
“What is it?” Asked Dante as he raised a drink can to his mouth.
“I wouldn’t drink that if I were you.” Warned Symbol in a sing song voice.
“Why?”
“Because it's how he controls us.” At Dante’s looked that said he didn’t understand Vergil continued. “It’s in your hand. Planet earth’s most popular soft drink, Virility.” Dante took a sip of the drink before he heard what his brother said next. “The demons have spiked it.”
Que spit take that had Symbol fall on the ground laughing.
Even Vergil gave a chuckle. “It’s ok! It has no effect on us. Only on humans.”
Dante tossed the can over his shoulder and into a bin.
“It's lobotomy in a can.”
“So what's the plan?”
Vergil replied by bringing up another image. It was of a giant, a spiral and several smaller people bowing down. “That's the hell gate.” He explained.
“I’m guessing that you mean that spiral.” Questioned Symbol.
“Yes, it’s a conduit from which Mundus draws his power. While he’s connected to the Hell gate he’s immortal. If he wasn’t then Sparda and Eva could have easily killed him. But if we can get him away from the hell gate, then our swords and Sunset's driver will do the rest.”
“So how do we do that?” Asked Dante.
Vergil turned to his siblings. “We get his attention. Mundus is petty, he’s impulsive. If we hit him where it hurts, lets his anger rule him. Then I believe that we can draw him out.”
“So let me get this straight.” Began Sunset. “To kill Mundus we need to drag him away from the hell gate.”
“And we do that by pissing him off?” Interrupted Dante.
“Not quite how I’d put it, but roughly speaking yes.” Replied Vergil.
“And we do that by taking out both the Raptor News Network and Virility.” Asked Sunset.
“That's it.” Confirmed Vergil.
“Which one do you wanna do first?” Asked Dante.
