17th June 500. The Charred Council, The personal army of the demon lord Mundus, Led by 10 chosen generals from the army. Appointed the Assassins of the Circle. They take care of those who break the Rules created by the Circle.

At the Great Hall.

"Circles of Hell, Pillars of Fire, Sea of Blood, Burn the Face of the Sinners, Bless the Face of Good. Avirath! I call your Name". Mundus slits himself and let's his blood drip onto the floor. The blood opens a hole in the floor and a hand reaches out to Mundus.

"Ah!!!!!!!!!!! Finally Some business eh?" Avirath the Banished climbs out of the hole with a few other demons behind him.

"A demon human hybrid." Mundus said as he patched up the wound.

"Ahh This Would be interesting...Tsk Tsk Tsk.... Oh Look it's Sparda. how nice to see you again. Remember me?" Said Avirath as he approached Sparda.

Sparda ignores Avirath's presence and walks off. "Cold. As Usual!" Avirath happily walked over the Mundus.

"Get it done now." Mundus stopped Avirath. "Alright. Boys its time to drink some Blood!" Avirath pulls out his spear and throws it down to Earth and when the spear landed on earth.. Avirath and his Demons appeared shortly... As they tracked the demon human hybrid down, Sparda follows them closely.

Avirath arrives at a village. " Ahhh I smell it. Boys let the bloodshed begin!!" Avirath pulls out his spears.

"What is this? I demand to know!" the village chief asked. "Well i guess you will find out.. soon enough.." Avirath stabs one of the spears straight into the head of the chief. "What the?! Defend the Village!" The Men of the village quickly took their swords in an attempt to fight off the demons.

"Fools. Tanz der Dämonen!" Avirath suddenly moves at an incredible speed, throwing his spears at the people.

Sparda looks on from the clouds... "I have to stop this!"

"How weak!!!" said Avirath as he crushes the head of a woman.

Suddenly, someone cuts Avirath on the face! "ah! finally showing yourself."

"Run! Take the Child with you!" The Demon proceeds to attack Avirath.

Avirath easily dodges his every shot..."This is boring" Avirath grabs hold of the Demon's arm and cuts it off. " Lord we have the baby." Avirath's followers arrive behind him. "Good.....Crush him" "Yes My Lord" and the Demon proceeds to crush the baby's skull.

"No! You sick beast" The fallen demon said as he tries to stab Avirath again but to no avail.

" You are a persistent one!" Avirath grabs him by the face and holds him up. Avirath pulls out another spear. and just as he is about to stab him. Sparda grab's hold of his arm.

"Stop.. You do not want to kill your own kind!" Sparda looks at the Demon.

"Help.........me....."The demon murmured to Sparda.

" Ahh Sparda... Sorry.. But i don't feel like listening to you today so....." Avirath breaks free from Sparda's grip and stabs the demon.

Dropping the corpse down... Avirath starts to laugh. Avirath looks at Sparda. " I do not take orders from a punk like you! Boys lets go." Avirath and his demons leave the village, leaving Sparda behind..

Sparda opens up a portal and quickly jumps into it.

Sparda arrives at Helen's home.

Sparda bursts through the door. "Helen. Pack your things. Get Vergil. We are leaving soon"

"What is going on?" Helen asked as she walks towards Sparda.

"No time to explain. Hurry up. We do not have much time. We are in trouble."

" Why?" Helen drops her things.

" I'll explain on the way! Get Vergil now!"

"Is it because you are a Demon?" Sparda was stunned for that moment

" I was right all along..."
