Vergil in Equestria
Discussion and A Painful Backstory
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight burst through the door of the library and shouted,
"VERGIL!!!"
Said dark slayer came down the steps with that same cold look on his face.
"What the hay was all that about?!" Twilight asked.
"Oh you mean that thing with the Pathetic and Weak Trixie?" Vergil guessed.
"Sort of but yes. I can't belive you just deeply wounded her like that!"
"She had it coming and besides she deserved it."
"No she didn't. She was showing off but that didn't mean you had to attack her!!"
"Why are you defending that boastful fool? She humiliated your friends and harmed Rainbow Dash!!!" Vergil shouted.
"Just because she was doing that, yes didn't mean you had to right to jump on that stage and humiliate her even more!!!" Twilight shouted.
"She brought it upon herself. And besides she wasn't the least bit of my equal. She was weak. And like I said to her.... Might controls everything, and without strength you can't protect anything. Let alone yourself." The dark slayer said coldly.
Twilight was then wide-eyed and shocked.
"Is that what you only care about? Power?" She asked.
"In slightest terms..... Yes. The only way you can protect someone is having the power and strength to do it and the might to kill the people who are your enemies. Even if it means you have to rip the power out of someone else." Vergil said.
".... What happened to you?" The lavender unicorn asked.
Vergil was confused by this question.
"What do you mean by that?" He asked.
"No normal pony would be so cold and cruel just like that. Something must have happened to you to make you feel like this. What was it?" Twilight asked.
"..... I refuse to answer that question." Vergil said.
"Please Vergil...... I just want to know what happened to you. I'm worried about you. Like I worry about all my friends." The lavender unicorn said.
"Friends?.... Hm. Where I come from friends don't exist and are merely an illusion." The dark slayer said coldly.
"You mean..... You don't believe in friendship. But it's the most precious thing to a ponies heart."
"Friendship?! You mean to tell me you believe in such useless sentimentality? To a pony's heart?" Vergil raised his left hoof to his face, he turned it a little to left to hide half his face from view. "Tell me, if friendship is truly more important than anything else- Why are there kings and queens? Why is there a need for money? Why are there monsters, when you could've used your friendship to tame or make them your friends? Why does Trixie need to boast?" Vergil pulled his hoof back from his face to stare her down. "If pony's hearts are indeed filled with friendship- Then why are you studying about friendship now? Why not before? And if you are still learning about friendship- Why are you telling me this? Why not some pony that has had friends a lot longer? Why are you here, and not your friends trying to tell me I'm wrong?" Vergil turned to look back at the door. "Do you think deep down, that they also thought she had it coming? That they agree with me in some way? If they are your friends, why are they letting you talk to me all by yourself, instead of supporting you? Tell me." The dark slayer said.
Twilight was dumbfounded. This former human was saying that there are others things more important than friendship and that he's saying that she had no reason to come here? And to top it all off he said that her friends all agreed that Trixie deserved what she got and that's why she was here alone because they felt that this creature was right and didn't care about supporting her? She tried to say something but she couldn't find the words.
"Let me tell you my story and maybe you'll realize that your the one that's wrong." He said.
In my world, technically the demon world, two milleniums ago there was a terrible ruler named Mundus, the Prince of Darkness and ruler of the demon world. His closest advisor was the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda, my father. Eventually he saw the darkness and true intentions and tyrantness in Mundus and an epic war began between the mortals and the demons. Sparda won and sealed the Dark Emperor in a marble vault. He then used his own blood, the blood of a priestess, with the help of a magic amulet and his sword to seal the demon world from the human world. He was recognized at the greatest warrior ever known and ruled the human world witha kind heart. However he vanished but reapeared in the twentith century, disguised as a human. He then met a beautiful woman and fell in love with her. Her name was Eva, my mother. They got married and lived the rest of their days in the demon world where Eva gave birth to two twin sons: Dante, my brother, and me Vergil. However years later Sparda once again disappeared off the face of the earth. Many people belived he died. Others believed he was taken to another world to watch over it cause he knew that the human world no longer needed him. Eva was heartbroken but she took it upon herself to take care of me and Dante. However years passed and me and Dante grew apart. We had different interests, personalities and different views of fun. We were always fighting but Eva, our mother, told us to always stick together no matter what.... My father, Sparda told me that too..... In a dream. Unfortunately her life was very short. During our eighth birthday we were each given two amulets that contained two pictures of her. Dante was very excited.... I actually preferred choclate. Then...... They came. Blood-seeking demons came out from nowhere and attacked us. We were forced to hide. That was when mother said to me,
"Vergil. I'll hold them off so you and Dante can escape."
"But Mommy. You can't...... You'll be killed for sure." I said.
"Your father risked everything to save humanity. And now I'm doing the same to you. Now go.... run and don't look back." She said.
My brother got the message pretty clear and took off with me following behind. But I was worried about my mother so I turned back and hid behind a door. That was when I saw that the demons had caught up to her and.... and they...... killed her. They tore her to pieces and I couldn't do a thing because I was so young. It was there that they took off. I was left there..... heart broken. I kept telling myself that was this was just a horrible dream.... but it wasn't. Dante eventually found me and saw mother.
"Mommy."
"... It's my fault."
"Huh?"
"She was right there and I could have saved her.... But I didn't. I didn't have the might. I didn't have the strength. I didn't have the power."
"Come on brother. Don't be so hard on...."
"NO! It's my fault that she's dead. I could have saved her but I didn't and now she's dead and our father is nowhere to be found!!!"
I then walked away from my brother and he said,
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to the human world...... There's nothing keeping me here. And don't try and stop me."
"But Vergil.... We're brothers and family sticks together. That's what daddy and mommy told us."
"But they are not here anymore. Mother is dead and father is missing..... We need to go our seperate ways. Whether or not we see each other again may not be told."
I then just ran off, tears in my eyes. I got to the nearest portal and got the human world. I tried to fit in with society but I just couldn't. I had to live off of my surroundings. All I had left was mother's amulet and father's sword, Yamato. It was there I realized something. I may have not been able to save Eva because I didn't have enough power. I needed to gain as much as possible and possibly even the power of Sparda, himself. Then I would finally fit in with society and I despised humanity for not being there to help me in my darknest needs. It was there I said to myself,
"Might controls everything, and without strength no-one can protect anything. Let alone themselves."
As the years passed by I returned to the Demon World and to the library. I searched through the books looking for a way to gain the ultimate power. It was there I was approached by a man named Arkham. He convinced me that in order to gain the power of Sparda... Humanity had to cease to exist. I followed with his plan and then I sent him as a messenger to my brother, Dante. When we met again at the top of Temin-Ni-Gru, the tower that sealed the humans from the demons, we fought against each other. I won of course and stuck my sword through him and then ended our battle with one final strike. But I knew that Dante wasn't dead. Because a demon can't die. The second time we fought I relied on the demon arm Beowulf. However we were interrupted by another demon named Jester who was in fact Arkham who didn't really try to help me but help himself to the power of Sparda. It was then I knew we had to join forces to stop him and he also had help from another human named Lady, I never knew her real name. When me and my brother fought Arkham our combined powers were enough to defeat him. We then realized that our amulets had fallen into a dark hole and we dived after them. It was there I gained the power of Force Edge, Sparda's most powerful sword. We then fought each other for the last time and Dante defeated me. When I was about to fall Dante tried to help me but I told him if he didn't want to be trapped in the Demon World he would have to let me go. I then took my first step off of the edge of the Demon World and Dante again tried to help but I merely sliced his hand and I fell into the dark abyss. It was there I enveloped in a bright light. And that's pretty much how I ended up in Equestria.
"Now do you see what I'm saying. The foolish humans left me behind to live a life of misery. I wanted to make friends with them but they rejected it. I tried to stand up to a big bully and viciously beat him to a pulp. Even though they cheered for me I knew deep inside they were afraid of me and would never be friends with me." The dark slayer said.
"N-n-n-n... No your wrong... they're my friends and they'd never do anything to hurt me." Twilight said.
"Oh really? Haven't they ever done anything to make you angry, upset and furious?" Vergil asked.
"Well.... Rainbow Dash tends the crash through my ceiling a lot and pull pranks on me, Applejack sometimes refuses to have me help with things, Fluttershy can sometimes be a little scared and not be able to fulfil some duties I give her, Rarity tends to be a critic when I try to pick out an outfit when I think it's nice and Pinkie Pie tends to surprise me from behind, pull pranks too and is a little weird at times." The lavender unicorn said.
"And do they ever apologize?" the dark slayer asked.
"Well yeah." Twilight answered
"ALLLL the time?" Vergil asked again but with a smirk.
"Um.... Well when you think about it.... They don't apologize every time." The lavender unicorn said.
"Heh..... Just as I thought." Vergil said.
He then trotted upstairs to the guest room and Twilight followed.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You just said that your friends don't apologize ALL the time. That means that they don't fully belive that they are sorry for their mistakes and merely do those things to you on purpose." Vergil said.
"NO they don't!" Twilight shouted.
"Blinded by false friendship. They don't really care about you.... they merely hang around you because of your great and powerful energy in magic and merely wait for the right time in the right place to take advantage of your magic." Vergil retaliated.
"They would never take advantage of me!!!" The lavender unicorn shouted.
"Heh.... Never huh? Maybe you need to see what they're doing to realize that they're not your friends but in fact trying to take advantage of you and that they think that Trixie did have to be punished. They might also possibly have more important things to worry about than your ridiculous 'friendship.'" Vergil said.
The cold smirk on his face made Twilight worry. His horn then started glowing and then he touched Twilight's head with it and then thoughts from her friends were flowing into her. The thoughts were saying they had important jobs or hobbies they needed to do more than have friendship and they the thoughts were saying that although Trixie was boasting a lot she did kind of deserve it, mostly the thoughts of Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash and that Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie thoughts were saying although they didn't go on the stage they thought that Twilight's magic would be able to keep her quiet so they didn't have to go on. When the spell ended Twilight was wide eyed.
Checkmate. Vergil thought.
"I...I... I don't belive it!!" Twilight shouted.
"It's the truth and the truth and nothing but the truth. They don't care about you at all.... Now you realize that I am right." The dark slayer said.
Twilight's brain felt like it exploded from realization.
"I-i-i-i-i..... I just-just-just... uhhh.... I need to take a trot." She said and then trotted outside.
Looks like my 'fake thought' spell that I got from Miss Twilight's spell book actually worked. I don't like pulling tricks but I can't afford to lose. Especially to a dumb pony who belives in imaginary friendship. Vergil thought smirking to himself.
