Chapter 29: The Demon Within 2

12th June 1000

Vergil walks over to Yamato cautiously, anticipating that the demon might pop out any time soon.

"What's wrong? You seem....Weird.." Luna asked.

"Nothing.."

....

Back in headquarters, Archie searches through the Squad's archives, trying to dig up information.

"Come on...1000 years and no info on demons? What type of stupid archives is this?"

Archie slams the book into the shelf...He walks to the next row of books and begin reading each book.

"Captain?"

Charlie walks up to Archie. "What are you searching for?"

"Nothing..just looking through some files on demons"

"because of what happened that day?" Asked Charlie.

Archie closes the book in his hands.

"Don't you feel something is....weird?" Archie turns to look at Charlie.

"What is weird?" Charlie responds with a puzzled look.

"All this, the sudden appearance of the Charred Council after 500 years, Vergil becoming what he is now?..Somehow it feels like this is all planned by someone.."

"Hmmm...Coincidence maybe?" Charlie looks closely at Archie.

"I don't believe that all that happened by coincidence."

"Maybe it is, we've been protecting that boy since he came into Soul Society and we've kept his identity from everyone, including himself.We've done all we can for him."

"Apparently it wasn't good enough...He knows he is the son of Sparda." Archie puts down the book.

"Hmmm We'll just have to keep an eye on him now...make sure no one sees what he is capable of doing." Said Charlie.

"Hmmm. Help me look for anything related to Demon Human Hybrids, I don't believe that Vergil is the only one alive." said Archie.

"Yes Sir!" Charlie runs towards another shelf of books while Archie continues searching through the stack of books in front of him.

....

A group of Death Gods are running through a forest. "No signs of any hollow activity, Sir" said one of the Death Gods. "Keep looking, they're here..i can smell them" said another Death God.
Suddenly a large hollow appears out of no where, surprising the group of Death Gods.
The Death Gods draw out their Zanpakutous, anticipating an attack from the hollow.
The large hollow doesn't move, it remains still, looking right into the eyes of the Death God.

"Hold your ground, it might strike anytime."The Death God tightens his grip on the guard of his Zanpakutou.

At a blink of an eye, a black sword pops out from the head of the hollow and the sword moves swiftly across the forehead of the hollow,slicing off the hollow's scalp, killing it instantly.

As the hollow's body fall to the ground, the Death Gods spots man standing behind the hollow, with a few others standing behind him, all dressed in black robes.

"Who the hell are you guys?" asked one of the Death Gods.

The 6 of them looks towards the Death Gods...

"Please identify yourselves!"

One of the hooded figures step out from the group, the figure pulls out a katana.

"Hold your ground!" The Death Gods prepares for a battle.

"Go.." said the hooded figure in a low and husky voice.

"As you command my lord" The group turns around and vanishes into black ash.

"Who are you?" asked one of the Death Gods.

"Your worst nightmare"

The hooded figure lets go of his katana,allowing it to fall to the ground.

The Death Gods all flinch for a moment, but after a few seconds, they realize that nothing happened. "What was that suppose to do?!"

"What is your name, Death God?" said the hooded figure.

"Rick Blackburn! 4th seat of the 5th squad."

"Well my name is Valerian, and you asked what was the purpose of dropping my katana? well... i do not need my blade to kills the likes of you."

"Hmmm, we have one arrogant bastard right here! Come on guys lets show him" said Rick.

"I don't think this is such a good idea, Rick we should back off" said one of the other Death Gods.

"Relax, this guy should be easy to beat! Remember who we are! we are the 5th squad, the strongest squad in the whole of Soul Society, So theres nothing to worry about!" Rick turns around to face the hooded figure, "Now where were we?"

"Seems like you are the strongest squad? We'll put that claim to the test. I hope you won't disappoint me." Valerian throws back his hood, revealing his face to Rick. A pale face with long blonde hair covering on side of his face. Rick spits on the ground

"Don't worry, I'll make this as short as possible"

Rick immediately runs up towards Valerian and cuts him across the chest with one fluid motion of his Zanpakutou.

Valerian holds the wound on his chest and falls to the ground.

Rick turns around to face the other Death Gods. "See i told you he's weak!" said Rick.

"Rick look out!"

Rick turns back to see that Valerian is not on the ground but standing right in front of him.
"Not a very good idea to turn your back on your opponent" Valerian pierces his hand through the chest of Rick, pushing out his heart, instantly killing him.

Valerian pulls out his hand, Rick drops to his knees and falls out the ground with a loud thump.
The other Death Gods run up to try and attack Valerian.Valerian's katana flies back into his palm.

"Strike.. Black Widow." The katana starts to emit a black light that blinds the Death Gods.The katana becomes a black claw-like weapon that wraps around Valerian's arm. Valerian easily dodges an oncoming Death God and plunges the claw into the abdomen of the Death God, The Death God starts to dissolve from inside out.

As the other Death Gods watch on in horror, Valerian drops what remains of the Death God's body on the ground.

"Run for it!" The Death Gods turns around and runs.

"Fools"

In one swift step, Valerian cuts down all the other Death Gods.

The Death Gods fall to the ground, slowly dissolving.Black Widow transforms back into a Katana and Valerian sheathes the blade.

....

The hooded group arrive at the gates leading to Soul Society, Valerian appears behind them.

"Looks like you've taken care of those Death Gods... i can no longer feel their spiritual pressure."

"Yes, no matter. We have more important matters..."

Valerian walks towards the large wooden gate.

"Shall we?"

Valerian strikes the gate with his palm. An echo rings through the surroundings. Cracks start to form on the gate and a few seconds later,the gate crumbles, all the debris land right in front of Valerian's feet.

A group of Death Gods are standing behind the gate, "Intruders! Take them down!"

The Death Gods runs up towards the group.

"Mengsk"

"Yes My Lord" A well built man steps out from the group.

"Take care of them" said Valerian.

"As you wish my lord"

Mengsk jumps forward and slams his fist into one of the Death Gods, sending him flying.

"Crap!"

Mengsk grabs hold of one of the Death Gods and slams him into one of the houses near by.
A large group of Death Gods are seen running towards Mengsk. Mengsk lets out a smirk and slams his fist into the ground. The force of the punch sends a slab of stone to pop out from under the large group of Death Gods, sending them flying into the air. All the Death Gods have fallen.

"Let's proceed." Valerian walks forward, passing all the fallen Death Gods.

...

Archie and Charlie are still searching through the Archives,suddenly someone burst through the door.

"Sir!! We are being attacked!"

"What?" said a shocked Archie.

"Let's go" Charlie picks up his zanpakutou and runs out of the Archives. Archie follows behind him.

The group stands on top of a tower in the middle of Soul Society.

"Let's do this"

Valerian releases his spiritual pressure which engulfs the whole of Soul Society in darkness.
Vergil spots the group."What the hell?" Vergil immediately dashes out of his room.

A few Death Gods run up to the tower trying to stop Valerian.

"Serena, Get rid of them"

"With Pleasure!" The woman pulls out a black sphere and drops it down the tower. The sphere drops in front of the Death Gods. The Sphere opens up and a thousands of spiders run out from the sphere, overwhelming the Death Gods."Have fun my pets!"

Valerian surveys Soul Society.

"Now..This souls will understand what is the true meaning of fear."

Chapter 28. The Demon Within.

12th June 1000

Yamato holds up Vergil.

"I am the god of this world...Yamato!"

Yamato looks at Vergil, "interesting how a human like you survived that pulse" Vergil tries to punch Yamato but Yamato stops it easily. Yamato tosses Vergila across the platform.

Vergil slowly gets up. "Still standing..Amazing" Yamato slowly approaches Vergil.

"Way of destruction" said Vergil slowly.

"Fool, do you think your spells can work?!" Yamato slaps him across the face, sending him flying across the platform. Vergil flies to the edge of the blue platform. Vergil peers over the edge of the platform. "its a long way down, maybe i can use this to my advantage" Vergil looks back up to see Yamato standing right above him. Yamato reaches over to grab him but Vergil grabs hold of his arm and wraps his legs around Yamato's neck, With one fluid motion, Vergil throws Yamato off the platform.

Vergil spreads him arms out, gasping for air, finally getting rid of Yamato. Vergil gets up on, he looks into the darkness, Yamato is indeed gone.

Vergil sees his Zanpakutou lying on the platform, He walks over to pick it up.

When his fingers make contact with the blade, it starts to light up.

"What the?" Vergil examines the blade, the blade emits and unusual glow. As Vergil continues to examine his blade, the spiritual pressure around starts to become stronger. Vergil turns around and sees Yamato slowly rising towards the platform.

"How did you?!"

"I am the god of this world, do you really think throwing me off can subdue me?" Yamato steps on the platform. Vergil uses his katana to fire a blast of energy of Yamato. Yamato holds his ground, not trying to avoid the blast. The blast starts to vanish as it reaches Yamato.

"You expect to hurt me with my own power? You're naive boy!" Yamato pulls out a katana and fires a blast of energy, Vergil blocks it with his own katana but the force of the blast pushes him off the platform.

Vergil tries to hang on to the platform but Yamato fires another blast, destroying part of the platform. Vergil falls into the darkness. "Crap, What do i do now?I can't die like this!"

Vergil looks around for something to grab on to but its just pure darkness. Vergil looks down and sees a patch of grass, He lands on the grass with a thump.

"God that hurt" Vergil gets up and looks around.

"Weird..Why would i end up at a place like this?" Vergil brushes off the dirt on his robe.

Vergil looks around and sees a little girl sitting down alone.

"What is a girl doing here?" Vergil slowly approaches the girl.

Suddenly the girl lets out a loud scream.

"Yo! what the?" Vergil looks up and sees a giant fist coming down towards the girl.

Vergil jumps forward and grabs the girl, pulling her out of harm's way.

"A hollow?" Vergil holds the girl tightly in his arms.

Suddenly a boy dashes past him and attacks the hollow. The boy gets easily pushed away.

"YO! Kid! Are you nuts?!"

The boy gets up and grabs hold of a stick on the ground and uses it to attack the hollow.

"That kid is nuts" Vergil puts the girl down.

"Wait a minute....." Vergil looks at the boy attacking the hollow.

"This seems so....familiar." Vergil looks at girl. The girl starts to cry.

"This is........"

The boy gets thrown into Vergil.

"GET OFF ME!" The boy jumps up again and runs up to attack the hollow again.

"Hold on there Kid"

"Who you calling Kid?"

The hollow slashes the boy across the face.

Vergil starts to recognize this scene.

"That's me?"

The boy stands up again. "I'm not going to let you harm Luna! I will kill you!" The boy's eyes start to turn blue and the spiritual pressure around him starts to build up. The boy releases a large wave of energy that crushes the hollow.

"Thats the first time we worked together as one." Yamato descends behind Vergil.

"What's your point of showing me that?"

"I want to show you how a little weakling you have become. Ever since you that one day....you've found joy in witnessing the demise of the weak. but now you've become the weak."

"What the f*** are you talking about?!"

"Ever since that day you first saw him....." Yamato slowly walks towards Vergil.

"I didn't see anything, Shut up with your Crap!" responded Vergil.

"Ever since that day you have let him control you!" Yamato grabs Vergil's arm and takes his zanpakutou from him.

"Ever since that day, you've allowed him to control your emotions!" Yamato brings the katana right in front of Vergil's face.

"Now..I didn't call you to my world for no reason.." Yamato hands the katana back to Vergil.

"What do you want?" Vergil asked.

"I'm going to defeat you and find a new master..." A similar katana starts to take shape on Yamato's palm.

"What?!" A confused Vergil looks at Yamato, who prepares to strike.

"You are no longer worthy of my power!" Yamato brings up his right arm, but it instantly gets cut off.

Yamato looks around."I TOLD YOU TO NEVER INTERFERE AGAIN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Sorry...Couldn't resist your delicious looking arm." A human like figure appears in front of Vergil. Blue Hair, Blue skin. His facial features are identical to Vergil's.

"Hello Vergil. It's nice finally being able to see you in person." The man turns around to face Vergil. Dressed in a blue robe, he looks exactly like Vergil.

"What in the hell are you?!" asked Vergil.

"You do not need to know who i am..all you need to know is this." The man pulls out katana.

"Thats?! Yamato!"

"I will put your face beneath my feet, and i will crush your skull!" The man starts to laugh and he rushes towards Vergil.

Vergil is rooted to the ground, unable to process what is going on.

Yamato stops the man's blow.

"Screw you! you old demon!"

Yamato looks at Vergil.

"I'll settle it with you someday...Right now i have an asshole to kill" Yamato places his palm on Vergil's Chest and Vergil instantly passes out.

"Vergil! Wake up!"

Vergil slowly regains consciousness.

"Vergil?"

Vergil sits up and sees Luna sitting right next to him.

"What happened? i found lying on the floor."

Suffering from the effects from the headache, Vergil could barely move.

"Come let me bring you to the medical room"

"Nah. It's fine. Just a bad dream." Vergil looks up at Luna, seeing her concerned face.

"Hey...relax..."

Vergil looks around and spots Yamato lying next to his bedside.

"What did you dream about that led you to roll off the bed and lie on the floor?"

"Nothing much."

Vergil glares at Yamato.

"What was that?" Vergil thought to himself.

Outside a hill near 1st Squad headquarters, A death god is standing at the edge...looking closely at everything that is happening in Vergil's room..

Another Death God appears next to him.

"It seems he already went in once."

"Good.....We are right on track. Soon he will realize his true potential......And he will be the one that will bring Chaos to Soul Society!"
