The night was crisp and dark. The moon and stars were no where to be seen in the black ink of the sky. Vergil walked ahead with fast long strides. Dante hung back slightly and kicked at stones along the kerb side.

The twins had just defeated yet another monster that was threatening to invade humanity and destroy them all. Same old, same old.

Dante was in a bad mood with Vergil though, he had wanted to finish the beast off and was annoyed that Vergil had done it. Vergil had just picked him off the floor and told that if he hadn’t stabbed it through the head then Dante would have had a rather large sword through his stomach.

The younger twin had scoffed and said he could look after himself. Vergil simply raised an eyebrow and pursed his lips.

“Very well.” He turned and walked away along the alley way and back towards their house.

Dante holstered his guns and planted Rebellion firmly on his shoulder. “That told him.” He smirked and slowly followed along after his twin. So what if he’d pissed him off. He was perfectly capable of looking after himself.

Vergil was standing in the square in the town waiting for him. He turned his head slightly as Dante approached.

“Take your time.” Vergil’s voice was clipped.

“I will.” Dante returned the attitude with a side helping of cheek.

Vergil chose to ignore the comment and pointed towards the shops. “So... Pizza?”

Dante looked in the direction he was pointing. It was his favourite pizza place, they had the best pepperoni pizza known to man, or devil. Rather than answering his brother he simply strode out over the square towards the shop.

Vergil shook his head. He made to follow and the ground lurched sending him falling forwards over a nearby bench. He braced himself and landed almost gracefully albeit slightly winding himself on the back of the bench.

Dante had not been quite so lucky and had fallen forwards and with his sword on his shoulder he was more unbalanced and crashed to the floor. He quickly rolled over and sat up. He watched in amusement as Vergil picked himself off and rubbed his ribs.

Vergil looked around the square looking for the cause of the disturbance but saw nothing. He frowned. He was sensing a large amount of power and it didn’t feel overly friendly. And it wasn’t the hostility being directed at him by his brother.

Dante frowned and glared at Vergil. He hadn’t even asked if he was ok where he’d fallen over. He sat on the floor and leant back on his hands glaring up at him.

The floor shook again making Vergil stumble backwards. He steadied himself by stabbing Yamato into the ground and looked up in horror as a large crack in the ground had opened up on one side of the square and was quickly becoming larger.

Dante looked at the crack in amusement. Maybe the thing they had killed been much more powerful than they had realized and it’s minions were coming to give them round two. Brilliant, work up more of an appetite. He turned his head towards his twin to shout something sarcastic but his words were cut short as the ground opened up under him.

Vergil shouted in horror as Dante looked down in amazement at the rapidly growing hole under him. He barely had time to say a thing as he was suddenly falling backwards into the dark.

“VERGIL!!” Dante’s eyes opened in horror as he realised he was falling.

“DANTE!!” Vergil flew forwards and reached down to grab at his brother.

Dante reached up just missing his brothers outstretched fingers by a hairs breath.

Vergil clutched at thin air as he watched in shock his brother falling away from him into a dark unknown void.

The ground started to shake and the void began to close.

Dante watched his brother disappear from his sight. The last thing he heard was Vergil calling down to him.

“I’ll find you! I’ll find a way! I promise! I won’t leave you!”

Vergil panted and clawed at the ground that had repaired itself in front of his eyes. He’s claws extended as he scrabbled frantically where his brother last was.

The blue clad devil only stopped when the ground was awash with his own crimson fluids.
