Trusted Friend

"You got to be kidding me!" Dante yelled as he looked over the side and saw Ruda not even touched by the
massive land masses that completely came down ontop of him as Vergil looked over to seeing
Dante looking shocked he looked back to Ruda with a slight odd expression as he thought for a
moment of what was he really doing down there with that Nazareth guy.

"I knew you would've survived that, but that is just a warning for you friend." Nazareth said angered.

"I don't want to do any harm to you Nazareth but if you continue this there will
be punishment." Ruda said as he tilted his head and focused his self on Nazareth's spot
where he stood a float above the mass.

"You'll be the one punished for your traitory!" Nazareth said.

As Dante looked over the masses he saw that they where not fighting but having some
sort of arguement over something which he couldn't tell and as he looked to Vergil he shook his
head.

"Yeah I'm thinking the same, set up." Vergil said as he looked down there to them as they both
quickly stopped seeing Ruda quickly turn his hands out ward to Nazareth, they saw him lift more
violiently into the sky as Nazareth understood that Ruda wasn't Ruda anymore that he some how
was working for man kind he hated to see Ruda like this as he angered his power into a static shock
towards Ruda.

"Erraaahhhhhh!" Nazareth yelled as he shot out a massive shock wave of fire to Ruda everything in its
path disinagrated into ashes within zero seconds as it hit Ruda, he just stood there as the hot air
past his body with out touching him one bit. Dante then knew that it was something more than a
conversation that they where having, as he looked to Vergil.

"Maybe we are wrong?" Dante asked as Vergil looked to him slightly confused.

"I have no clue." Vergil said as he looked back to Ruda out in the feild of fire.

"STOP THIS NAZARETH!" Ruda commanded him as a last request as he released intense electric
waves through the ground beneath him as Nazareth shook his head.

"You where once a friend but now your my greatest foe...sorry Ruda." Nazareth said as he dropped his
hands down to his side as his power dropped completely Ruda didn't know of why he put his gaurd down
but as he looked up to him seeing that Nazareth shook his head in angered and sorrow the ground beneath
him completely evaporated to the black abyss.

"What are you doing?!" Ruda asked shocked of what he was going to do as he looked down beneath him seeing
the blackness he quickly looked back up to Nazareth shaking his head in disagree he knew that Nazareth wasn't
going to attack him but he was going to attack his self as Ruda quickly moved back to the opening he used his
power of the electric wave to form a barer between Nazareth and the abyss.

"Ruda, you are no longer known to me...Let me go." Nazareth said.

"No I can't, Nazareth your brother!" Ruda yelled to him to get his attention of what he was doing.

"He wouldn't care, even if I was the last in his grace." Nazareth said.

"Why do you say that?, you know he cares about you!" Ruda yelled to him.

"Why do you!, you went against us...your own friends!" Nazareth said angered.

"What do you think they are doing down there?" Dante asked Vergil slightly confused.

"I think Ruda is trying to get that Nazareth guy to stop." Vergil said.

"Stop what?" Dante asked.

"Stop what he's doing what else." Vergil said looking to Dante as he sighed.

"What?" Dante asked.

"You got alot to learn don't you bro?" Vergil asked.

"What do you mean by that?" Dante asked as he turned to him with a slight angered expression.

"Not to get you mad bro but you got to get your questions straight." Vergil said as he looked back over
to Ruda and Nazareth out in the feild.

Ruda held his power steady as he held the abyss back from taking Nazareth, as Nazareth continued to
tell him to let him go. Ruda denied everything as he looked over the feild seeing a familiar guy walking up to
them as he saw the man wearing a some what formal out fit he then noticed when he got closer he saw that
it was Sparda as he stopped within five feet away from them both he looked up to Nazareth with a slight of
disgust and looked down to Ruda and shooked his head as Nazareth looked over to seeing him standing there,
slightly surprised of seeing him alive he looked over to Ruda and then looked back to Sparda who was only
five feet away from him as he looked up to him Sparda stared straight into Nazareth's eyes as he looked to him.

"How dare you bring the abyss here!" Sparda said angered as he swiftly lifted his right hand up and waved it
to the side as the ground beneath Nazareth completely closed and causing Nazareth to fly to the ground as he
impaled the ground, he then quickly looked back to Sparda as he got back up to his feet.

"Sparda..." Nazareth said as he backed up slowly.

Dante looked shocked seeing his father down there as he looked to Vergil as he looked to him
Vergil shrugged his shoulders confused.

"Why's father?" Dante asked.

"Don't even start with the questions Dante." Vergil said as he looked to him then looked back to
the feild.

"This is just great!...you know why don't you send your whole party team with you traitor!" Nazareth yelled
to Ruda as Sparda looked to Ruda with a slight confusement over hearing Nazareth's remark on him as he then
looked to Nazareth with an evil glare.

"Who are you calling a traitor you dirt bag of shit!...And what the fuck is going on here?" Nathanael asked as
came up right behind Nazareth out of a cloud.

"Brother?" Nazareth asked as he looked to him as he stepped back away from infront of him.

Brother?" Dante asked as he looked down there confused.

"He has a brother?" Vergil asked looking to Dante as they both looked at each other for a second then
looked back as something was defiantly going to happen down there at any moment.

"So the whole families here...let me guess are you three together?" Sparda asked looking at them angered.

"No, not him...Ruda you back stabbing prick I hope for your sake you better go and hide." Nazareth said angered
to Ruda.

"What are you talking about?...shut up Nazareth. Ruda what is he talking about?" Nathanael asked as he looked
to him slightly confused of what was happening.

"Wow we got a problem don't we?" Sparda asked as he stood there rubbing the back of his neck looking at them
then stood there looking at them seriously.

"What ever it is you three better do it fast I'm not that patient." Sparda said.

Nathanael looked to Sparda and then looked to Ruda as he looked to him.

"He attacked me...Nathanael he's working with the damned man kind." Nazareth said.

"I said shut up!...I want to hear it from him." Nathanael said as he looked back to Ruda.

"Is it true?" Nathanael asked.

"I've giving up on everything...I've stopped hunting...I don't understand my cause but Nathanael I want
you and the others to get lost our I will take you all down one by one." Ruda said.

"What?" Nathanael asked slightly angered as he stepped forward to Ruda looking at him right in the eyes.

"I've changed...You'll have to go through me before you can get to them." Ruda said as he looked right
into Nathanael's eyes as he stepped back angered of what he heard from Ruda, one of his friends his brethrien
in the demon kingdom he shook his head as he looked at him angered as Sparda thought about what Ruda
said as e remembered him saying "...can get to them..." Sparda looked around the area and saw up on the
rocks only a few feet away he saw both Vergil and Dante with battle bruises and cuts on their clothes looking back
to Ruda as his eyes drifted to the ground thinking to him self of why...

Why is this demon protecting my sons?...What have they done for him?...My sons,...He's protecting my SONS!

Sparda stepped forward as he came up with in three feet away from them as he stood there waiting for a
sign of a battle as Nathanael looked at Ruda disgusted and then looked away.

"Ruda I'm sorry, but you will pay for this...good bye friend." Nathanael said as he quickly turned around with
a thrust with his fist he came close to knocking Ruda's head off with the tremendous strength that would knock
a building down with one strike as he saw Ruda being quickly moved away he stopped and looked over to seeing
Sparda standing there with a disgusted face with an evil grin on his face towards them as Ruda looked over seeing
that Sparda knocked him away from the attack even though he wanted to get the hit for what he deserved.

"To get to him, you have to go through me!" Sparda said angered as he glanced to Nathanael with a glare
as Nathanael looked to him with slight shock of seeing Sparda acting this way over that fact that Ruda was
once against the Sparda's. With no time to waist Nathanael looked to Nazareth as he stood there shocked
and didn't know what to do as he looked at his older brother standing there in bad arms way with Sparda
right there, with the look in his eyes that right there at anymoment you'll be attack or killed quickly.

"Why do you stand up for him?...he betraied man kind and he betraied us, he deserves to be killed." Nathanael said.

"He's protecting, the ones I cherish so deeply and if he has to give up his life so that they can live...I would
stand up for that." Sparda said as he looked to Ruda as he got up and looked over to him.

"He was once a friend to us...just imagine what he can do to you in your future he has betraied us
his friends." Nathanael said as he looked to Ruda angered.

"And as a remaining last friend I'm asking for you to stop what you are doing." Ruda asked.

"Sorry to late for pleads." Nathanael said.

"Good then there is no reason for you to be here then." Sparda said as he looked to them both angered.

As Nathanael looked at Ruda then back to his younger brother Nazareth he looked to Sparda and shooked
his head in disgusted.

"When we return Ruda...you better make sure you have close friends because all of your old friends now
will be looking for you...oh yeah that's if you get any...haha." Nathanael said as he then vanished into thin air with
Nazareth following behind. Sparda looked over to Ruda, who was looking down at the ground shaking his head
in grief, as he turned around slowly and walked away. Sparda then looked over seeing both his sons still up there
looking at Ruda he then looked over back to Ruda.

"Ruda?" Sparda called as Ruda stopped and turned to Sparda looking at him with grief.

Ruda sighed as he looked to him.

"Yes?" Ruda asked.

"Why did you protect my sons?" Sparda asked.

"Sons?" Ruda asked slightly confused of what he meant.

"My two sons Vergil and Dante." Sparda said as he looked over to the hill side pointing out them on
the top of the rubble looking down at them.

"Ohh...them I didn't know." Ruda said looking up over to them then looking back to Sparda.

"Well now you know." Sparda said.

"What is it that you want Sparda?" Ruda asked.

"Nothing, I just wanted to say thanks." Sparda said as he turned away and looked to his sons as they both
jumped down off the rocks.

"So your just going to let him walk away?" Dante asked looking over to Ruda as he vanished into the mist.

"There is no reason to stop him." Sparda said as he looked to Dante and then started to head back to the
house. Vergil looked to Dante and then shook his head while Dante stood there wondering if this
was some twisted plan he had and everyone just went along with it but it didn't cross Dante's mind as he
thought for that moment before heading back home right after Vergil as he walked away from the
area after father.

"So Vergil do you believe that he's not lying?" Dante asked as he walked right beside Vergil on the path looking
down at the gravel and stones in front of him.

"Something about him makes me believe he's telling the truth and then again he was the one that
always came for Spri." Vergil said as he looked to Dante seeing him looking down at the ground.

"Why?" Vergil asked as he stopped walking, soon Dante stopped and looked back to Vergil slightly
understood.

"Huh?...Well I just have a thought that's all." Dante said as he looked back to the path seeing father
already gone off the path.

"Ri..ght, and you guessing that he's just doing this to get to that boy?" Vergil asked as he folded his arms.

"Yeah...wouldn't you?" Dante asked.

"Slightly...but he went up against his own men, which makes me wonder." Vergil said as he rubbed the
bottom of his chin thinking.

"He didn't kill them, he asked them to leave." Dante said.

"Well there's your answer, let's just go home." Vergil said as he started to walk on.

As they got back to the house they saw both Remus and Griffon on the porch talking as they looked
to Dante and Vergil coming up to the house they suddenly went quiet as Vergil looked to them.

"Hey guys what are you two up to?" Vergil asked.

"Nothing much, just talking." Remus said.

"About what?" Dante asked as he opened the front door and looked over to them.

"About what's been happening in hell and mostly the recent problems we ran into today." Griffon said.

"Really, well we ran into a fight with this Nazareth dude and then Ruda came and stopped the fight." Dante said.

"Really?" Remus asked slightly interested in it.

"Well the thing was that Ruda didn't really attack them he chased them off with the help of father...but what
really bothers me is that he protected us." Dante said.

"Huh?...It seems like he is on our side but then again he can be pulling our chains." Vergil said to Dante.

Griffon looked to Remus as he then glanced to Vergil as he looked to them.

"A nuetral you say?" Griffon asked as he stood up.

"Well I don't really know." Vergil said.

"I'll take a look myself." Griffon said as he walked off the porch as Remus stood up and followed.

"Don't attack him I still want to see his real deal you here me?" Dante asked as he looked to them.

"Eh don't worry I just said I was going to look that's all." Griffon said.

"I'm going with him to check this out myself." Remus said.

"Come back you two with an answer on this for me will ya?" Dante asked.

"Yeah sure, why not...this will just be a walk in the park." Griffon said as he then took off with
Remus right behind him.

"I could just think of what they are going to do." Dante said as he then turned back to the door walking into
the house he glanced into the living room passing by he saw his father meditating on the rug in front of
the fire place, and Kindel taking a nap on the couch shrugging his shoulders he headed into the kitchen surprisingly
quickly drawing his Ebony and pointing to the side of him sensing someone there as he looked seeing Trish shaking
here head at him with a slight smile as he lowered his gun looking to her.

"Let me guess you need me?" Dante asked.

"Well not really...I just came by to see you." Trish said.

"Now, now Trish I know your games...what is it?" Dante asked as he moved to the side placing
his hand onto the counter leaning over looking at her across from the counter.

"There was a something strange happening in the castle near the island, some said that there was
a sighting of a light show...Is that what you need to hear?" Trish asked.

"Now we are getting somewhere Trish." Dante said as he leaned away from the counter as he placed his
Ebony back in the holster as he smirked slightly, shaking his head to her.

"Dante your such a corn dog, what are you doing here?" Vergil asked as he walked into the room
as he looked to her then glanced to Dante as he looked to him with a slight smirk on his face.

"Buisness." Trish said placing her hands onto her hips.

"Buisness you say?...If this has to do with your tricks I'm not interested." Vergil said as he leaned back
onto the counter.

"No tricks this time boys, just strange things that's all...am I that bad?" Trish asked slightly making a
mocking face to Dante.

"Well then I'll go check this place out then." Dante said.

"What place?" Vergil asked looking to Dante as he picked up his rebellion and placed it onto
his shoulder.

"Demons seem to always pick the castles don't they, can't they go somewhere else?...This
is just a type of job for me." Dante said as he walked to the door.

"Castle you say?" Vergil asked as he looked to Trish tilting his head and moving away from the counter.

"What else can I say." Trish said slightly smiling.

"Eh?...Trish you better be not messing with his head again, you know where that lead you last time." Vergil said as he
soon walked after Dante.

"Who said I was fulling." Trish said as she then vanished from the room.

Kindel walked into the room looking around slightly confused rubbing back of his neck.

"What was going on in here?" Kindel asked his self as he then sat down on the chair in the room.

"Is there a problem?" Sparda asked as he walked into the room.

Kindel looked back.

"No I just thought I heard people talking in here but it might of been just a fait of my imaginary." Kindel said.

"Ohh, okay." Sparda said as he walked back to the living room.

"Gees I got to get myself together." Kindel said as he looked out the kitchen window.

As he looked out to the distance he seemed to see a dark misted area in the woods which he knew
durning the days it never gave that look into the distance as he stood up and walked up to the
window he took a closer look to the woods as he quickly noticed it was a bad feeling within his gut as he
ran to the back door in the kitchen and headed to the front of the woods glancing more in to the distance
of the forest he noticed a dark figure standing in the woods. Tilting his head he didn't really understand
what this guy was or why he was there until he got the feeling to walk forward into the dark.

"Huh?" Kindel suddenly noticed that the darkness quickly vanished as he was standing in the normal forest
as he looked back to the house he saw that he was about ten feet into the woods heading back out to the
back yard he heard slight whispers in his mind.

Kindel...come...to...the...deep forest...

"Huh?" Kindel quickly looked back to the woods seeing the figure again, completely confused he shook
his head and started to walk backwards away from the woods knowing this voice sounded somewhat
familiar to when he was in that villiage, faint memories shot through his mind as he shook his head and turned
to the house running back in side he ran to the counter dropping down to the floor as he huddled up to
the corner looking to the back door.

"This is not happening." Kindel said as he sat there slightly frightened.

The back door opened with a creek as he watched it open slowly he moved around the counter so he wouldn't
be spotted that easily, with his fear driving him he started to shake slightly as he heard foot steps into
the kitchen as they came closer to the counter he pushed his self back to the counter, hearing the sounds move to one
side of the counter he quickly moved around the counter with sleak. Feeling his heart jump from hearing the
foot steps move to the other side he saw an opening to run for the hall way as he took the chance he
sprinted down the hall to the living room seeing that his grandfather wasn't even in the room feeling slight
shocked for being that stupid for the run he dashed for the front door hearing the sounds coming closer to the
room he opened the door with fast movements not even realizing that there was someone walking up to the
door he ran right into him falling down the steps to the ground slightly still shooken up Kindel tried to get up
to his feet as he soon felt his self being pinned to the ground with his eyes closed he struggled to get free until
he heard his name the fifth time he opened his eyes seeing that it was his father holding him down.

"Kindel!...what is wrong?!" Vergil asked looking at him worried.

"...huff...huff...there is someone in the house and he's after me, please don't let him get me." Kindel said as he
still had a slight shaken voice.

"Kindel, what are you talking about?" Vergil asked looking back to the house seeing the door opened.

"He was from the woods." Kindel said.

"Why are you shaking?" Vergil asked still looking at him worried.

"He knows me...huh?...he's coming!" Kindel said shocked as he tried to get up from his fathers grip which
he couldn't really break free from his grip as Vergil looked back to the door seeing a dark ora clouding the
door way slightly confused he looked to it more closely seeing a figure of a person standing there walking slowly
up to them as he looked down to Kindel seeing him freak out.

"LET ME GO!!!" Kindel yelled frightened as he broke free from his fathers grip he srambled up to his feet
catching the ground with his hands as he sprinted away from the area down the path as Vergil stood
up looking at the dark ora quickly glancing back to Kindel seeing he was very quite far from him walking
quickly back away from the house he turned and started to dash after his son.

"Kindel!" Vergil called as he chased after him.

Kindel was dashing though towns like a shooting star as he got far enough from the dark ora and that he didn't
sense it any more he stopped as he dropped down to his knees slightly coughing for air as his heart raced to
catch up with him looking around the area he saw that people where looking at him slightly confused, and worried
about if that he was okay as he lifted up his hand to show the people he was okay he glanced over to seeing
his father walking up to him looking worried placing his hand onto Kindel's shoulder.

"Kindel are you okay?" Vergil asked as he kneeled down beside him.

"Father, is it coming?" Kindel asked.

"What are you talking about I don't know what's going on." Vergil said.

"It came from the woods behind the house...I don't know exactly what it is but it called my name." Kindel said.

"It knows your name?" Vergil asked as he looked back seeing Dante walking up to them slightly looking
confused.

"Hey, why the sprinting?" Dante asked.

"Kindel was being chased after something from the woods." Vergil said.

"Really, you know behind the woods miles back Vergil is where that castle is." Dante said as he placed the rebellion
on his shoulder looking around at the people that stared to them slightly confused.

"There's nothing to be staring at people go on with your buisness." Dante said as the people suddenly moved on.

"So what's wrong with Kindel bro?" Dante asked as he looked to him seeing him still shaken up.

"I have no clue, hey did you stop by the house?" Vergil asked as he looked back to him.

"Uh, no I kinda saw you dashing so I just thought about going after you so." Dante said.

"Well there was something in the house." Vergil said.

"What?" Dante asked kinda interested.

"Back at the house there was a dark ora walking out the front door it was after Kindel." Vergil said as he looked
to Kindel as he sat there taking in deep breathes.

"Really, so do you want me to head back to the house to check it out?" Dante asked.

"That would help." Vergil said.

Dante soon took off as he headed back to the house to check it out Vergil looked back to his son still
worried Kindel shook his head then looked to his father.

"Dad, it's not in the house...I sense it coming." Kindel said as he looked behind his father seeing in the
distance the dark mist.

Vergil looked back seeing the dark ora again quickly looking to his son he was already up on his feet
running.

"SON!, you can't just keep running!" Vergil yelled after him as he got up and dashed after him.

Vergil looked back as he saw the darkness suddenly fade away looking back ahead of him he saw Kindel
leaning against a tree as he came up to him Kindel looked to him still breathing hard.

"Son you mustent run from it, it wont go away till you confront it." Vergil said.

"It wants me to go to the deep forest." Kindel said glancing back seeing it wasn't there.

"What deep forest?" Vergil asked.

"I don't know." Kindel said.

"There is no deep forest around here it's miles away back that way." Vergil said as he pointed back the way they
ran from.

"Well then I'm pretty much further am I?" Kindel asked taking in a deep breath.

"Yeah, and much further away from everyone else." Vergil said.

"Ohh, well not everyone you and Uncle found me." Kindel said.

"You bumped into me remember?" Vergil asked looking at him still worried.

"Yeah, I'm kinda sorry for that I wasn't looking where I was running." Kindel said.

"Well then next time do." Vergil said.

"I will." Kindel said.

"And please don't scare me like that again, tell me before running okay?" Vergil asked him.

"Yes father I will." Kindel said as he stood up and looked back down the path as he catched his breath.

"That was some type of dark ora, with someone within it." Vergil said as he thought for a moment of
what it could've been that was chasing his son.

"It was a strange familiar voice, it's like I've heard this before and a long time ago." Kindel said.

"How familiar?" Vergil asked.

"I don't really know but it made me remember alot of things that happened to me back then." Kindel said.

"You mean that village?" Vergil asked.

"Yeah sort of." Kindel said.

"Son that village burned down a while ago." Vergil said.

"I never knew that, why haven't I've been informed?" Kindel asked.

"Why would you want to know that anyway?" Vergil asked slightly confused as he glanced back down the
path seeing Dante walking up to them.

"What do you mean anyway?...Even though I hated that place to the bottom of my heart there where kids there that
I knew and helped me." Kindel said as he looked to the ground slightly worried of what happened to them.

"Oh, I'm sorry son for not knowing this I wasn't told about you having friends there." Vergil said.

"Did they all die?" Kindel asked.

"May I ask who's they?" Dante asked as he stopped right next to Vergil looking to Kindel.

"Father did they?" Kindel asked as he looked to him seriously.

"He means the village that burned down." Vergil said to Dante to inform him of what he was talking about.

"Ohh, I heard there was no survivors." Dante said as he looked to Kindel.

"No, that's impossible...they all couldn't have parished." Kindel said shaking his head.

"Well that's what happened." Dante said.

"How?" Kindel asked looking to Dante worried.

Dante slightly felt gult in his heart as he looked into Kindel's eyes seeing him slightly upset, he looked to Vergil as
he looked to him then looked back to Kindel.

"No one important." Dante said.

"Tell me!" Kindel said worried as he dropped to his knees looking up to his Uncle.

"Eh, you would really want to know?" Dante asked looking down to him.

"Please!" Kindel commanded.

Vergil shook his head as he looked down to Kindel as Kindel looked to him slightly shaking his head.

"No,...no father please, you?" Kindel asked as he slightly shedded a tear.

"Sorry son." Vergil said.

"...It's all my fault, that it happened...I'm sorry..." Kindel said as he placed his head into his hands as he leaned
down to the ground.

"No son it's not." Vergil said as he knelt down beside him and placed his hand onto his shoulder.

"They wheren't supost to get killed...they where the only ones there that helped me." Kindel said.

"Ohh, now I see." Dante said as he looked back to the path sensing a dark ora coming as he looked
to Vergil he glanced back to the ora as Vergil turned seeing the dark ora not far from them as Dante
took his rebellion and walked forward to it as Vergil slightly stopped Dante from going any further he looked
back seeing Kindel was still on the ground not moving as he looked to Dante seeing he was already ready
to go after the dark ora.

"Hey Vergil if you don't want to fight I can understand but I'm going to attack this fuck if you don't mind." Dante said
as he headed on pulling away from Vergils grip.

"We don't know what we are dealing with Dante you can't just walk up to it understand." Vergil told Dante as he
kept walking on.

"I wouldn't care his power is much weaker then mine so he has no chance." Dante said as he kept walking.

"No there's something wrong with this I know there is." Vergil said trying to stop Dante from walking any further.

"What are you going to do about it huh Vergil just wait til he get's closer either way he's still coming." Dante said as
he went on walking forward to the dark mist.

"Damn you Dante." Vergil said to his self as he looked back to his son seeing him still on the ground and looked
back to Dante seeing that he was much closer to the thing.

"Let's see what you got." Dante said as he pulled a strong stinger to the figure as he came back down on it with a
helm breaker knocking it to the ground as Dante stood there slightly confused of why it wasn't attacking or fighting
back as it got up stumbling to it's feet and comtinued to walk on as Dante slightly tilted his head
in confusement of what it was doing if it wasn't attacking. As it came close to Vergil about five feet in front of him
he looked back seeing Kindel still hasn't moved he then knew the one thing to do was to defiend his son as it came closer
to him he quickly with drawled his yamato blade as Kindel looked up seeing in the dark figure a sad expression on the
face of the demon as he quickly reached for the yamato handle Vergil glanced back quickly stunned of why Kindel
stopped the attack.

"Stop, look he's sad." Kindel said as he looked to the demon as he stopped looking down to Kindel with a sorrow
face as Vergil looked to him seeing that he was about ten feet tall looking up to him Dante walked over still unasure
about this he walked to Vergils side looking up at the demon.

"What the heck does he want?" Dante asked.

"How the heck shall I know?" Vergil asked as he looked to Dante slightly worried seeing it was close to his son.

"Who are you?" Kindel asked as he looked up to the demon.

"My...son, died he always mention about a boy...you knew him...Kindel please come with me."

That village... Kindel thought to his self as he looked to his father as Vergil looked to him then turned
to the demon slightly moving in front of Kindel as the demon looked to him slightly unaware.

"This is my son, and if he goes with you I'm going to go as well." Vergil said.

"Yes, please do...it's a pleasure to meet you I'm Bardosa." Bardosa said still with a sad expression on his face.

Vergil looked to Dante as he looked to Bardosa that stood there glancing to Vergil he nodded his head in agreement
to go as Kindel got up he took Bardosa's hand as he walked back while Dante and Vergil followed by his side.

"How do you know me?" Kindel asked.

"My son talked about you very much...he said that you both helped each other out, he told so much to me
until one day he never came back." Bardosa said.

"Are you originally that tall?" Kindel asked.

"No...I'll come back to my size to make you comfortable." Bardosa said as he then appeared to be normal size as Vergil
looked to him seeing he was still about an inch taller than him he looked to Dante as Dante still had that look
on his face as if he really didn't trust this demon.

"Sorry for scaring you." Bardosa said.

"Ohh it's okay, I think it's best for me to get scared sometimes." Kindel said.

"You've been his very first best friend you know that?" Bardosa asked looking down to Kindel.

"No I've haven't, um you don't mind me asking but what was his name?" Kindel asked.

"Huh?" Bardosa asked slightly confused of why he asked that question.

"Uh, sorry you see I had alot of over friends..and they never really told me about thier families." Kindel said.

"Oh sorry for not mentioning, my son Vertix." Bardosa said.

"He died?" Kindel asked.

"Yes I've waited so long for his return so I went out to search for him and I found him...I didn't understand why,
he was such a good son." Bardosa said.

Dante looked to Vergil slightly thinking of if it was that village that burned down is where this boy was, Vergil
knew when the village went down some of the kids ran for the hills he really wouldn't think about killing the
children. Bardosa looked to Vergil and to Dante as they looked to him.

"It's a real pleasure to met you, your son is a very open and friendly boy and not to mention a good head on
the shoulder...Has your son ever get into trouble?" Bardosa asked.

"Um, I really haven't seen my son when he was that young I was held captive and my son was living with
abusive parents so I really wouldn't have any clue, but he is open to people." Vergil said.

"Sorry I've never introduced my self to you, I must've been so out of it." Bardosa said slightly shaking his head.

"I would be the same if it happened to him, sorry I'm Vergil and that's Dante his Uncle." Vergil said.

"Nice to meet you both, it's really a pleasure." Bardosa said.

"So how long has it been since you've seen your son alive?" Dante asked.

"A year ago." Bardosa said.

"Oh that must be very sad." Dante said.

"Well it made a very bit pit in my heart." Bardosa said as he came up to the woods as he headed into the thick
forest with the three of them with him Kindel kept close to his father as they came up to a opened area
in the woods Dante soon noticed it wasn't the village Vergil took out it was somewhere else and it didn't looked
like it was burnt down it looked like a shock wave came past here looking to Bardosa as he walked into the rubble
he looked down as Kindel walked up to him looking into the rubble he was surpirsed that he didn't see any body
but there was a piece of something very familiar that made him surprisingly remember who it belonged to.

"So what's over there?" Dante asked.

"Vertix...it's his bracelet that I gave him...it was like a friendship chain which not only he had the others too." Kindel said.

"What does this mean?" Bardosa asked worried.

"Vertix is to clever to die from this, we survived these together...the humans did this." Kindel said looking up to him
handing him the bracelet.

"Do you mean he's still alive?" Bardosa asked slightly a bit relieved.

"Yes, but I have a feeling he was taken in by the humans...him and Clare." Kindel said looking to the ground seeing
her scarf.

"Who?" Vergil asked.

"Clare never left our side, thick and thin she was...she was here with him that scarf prooves it." Kindel said as he
looked at the scarf waving in the wind off a pole that stuck out of the ground.

"So your saying there where two?" Vergil asked.

"Me, Vertix and Clare where a team back then we run from the bad people and we also had a place to go
when we needed to get a way, but they didn't get that far...the humans have them." Kindel said as he
looked to his father.

"So your saying the humans have both his son and this girl Clare captive somewhere?" Dante asked.

"I'm sure of it." Kindel said as he looked up to Bardosa as his sad expression turned completely around to an evil
grin of anger as he looked to Vergil and Dante.

"Those humans are going to pay dearly if they hurted my son!" Bardosa said as he vanished to a dark fog as Dante looked
to Vergil slightly worried that they where going to have to stop him from doing any damage as Vergil looked to Kindel
as he walked over with Clare's scarf.

"She would never leave this behind." Kindel said as he walked up to his father.

"Kindel head back to the house we got to stop Bardosa before he starts massive problems." Vergil said.

"You mustent attack him, help him get his son back and he will leave please just help him." Kindel said.

"We will do what needs to be done Kindel just head back and tell grandfather got it?" Dante asked looking to
him seriously.

"Will do but please help him." Kindel said as he then took off back to the house. Dante looked to Vergil slightly
knowing that it was going to come down to this one way or the other.

"You know I knew this was going to happen." Dante said looking to Vergil as he glanced to Kindel as he
vanished.

"Yep and now we got to do the good thing and that means getting his son out of there before he starts
killing inocient human beings." Vergil said as he then dashed to the towns, Dante soon followed right after him.

"Inocient?...they came here and did this, I would say different." Dante said looking to Vergil.

"Okay, but not all those humans caused this...and you know that Dante." Vergil said.

"Right so let's just get going before anything happens." Dante said as he then dashed to the town as Vergil followed behind keeping
close to him Vergil sensed that there was already damage being taken as they came up to a town there was fire and broken down
huts they looked to each other looking slightly worried quickly with out another pause they took off with a dash to where Bardosa
was. Coming up to the village where he was Dante looked to Vergil as he saw ahead Bardosa standing in the middle of the village with
people surrounding him as he stood there angerly looking at them.

"We got to hurry up." Dante said.

"Some one please help us!"

Vergil looked over seeing three people under a massive piece of wood from a hut that was on fire above them and it
looked to him that it was going to fall on top of them at any second as he glanced back over to Dante he saw that Dante
was already helping the humans out of there before they got killed in the flames as Vergil quickly glanced over
to the three humans again he saw that the wood started to crumble as it fell Vergil quickly paced his self under the burning
wood that came down as the people looked up at him as he stopped the wood from falling down on them as he turned
to them holding the flaming wood in the air with his right hand as he looked to them slightly with an angered but not
very cruel expression towards them they stood there not knowing what to do.

"Are you going to stay there or run the hell away from this area?!" Vergil asked them as he waited for them to move out of
the area.

"Thank you Mister."

Soon all the people where gone from the area as Dante looked to Bardosa slightly angered of what he was doing to the
humans.

"You got big balls to be fucking wit them, you know that." Dante told him angerly as Bardosa looked to him also
looking angered.

"I want my son, they will all pay dearly until he comes back into my arms!" Bardosa said to Dante angered as his arms
lit up with black smoke as electricity flew through the ground and around his feet Vergil knew that this would be trouble to
fight him so he walked in front of Dante shaking his head to Bardosa as he dropped his power looking to Vergil slightly confused.

"We don't want to fight you, but you have to control your temper Bardosa." Vergil said looking at him seriously.

"You'll help me?" Bardosa asked looking to him worried.

"Under my sons word I'll get your son back but you have to promise that you wont go hay wire around here." Vergil said.

"Fine, but if they done something to my son I will kill the ones responsable." Bardosa said.

"Sure with the ones that are held responsable...but no one else!" Vergil said as he looked back to Dante then glanced
back to Bardosa with a serious look on his expression as it was like he wasn't fulling.

"Great let's hope the kids not hurt." Dante said as he walked on.

Vergil soon walked after Dante as Bardosa soon followed them down the path, Vergil looked back to him then looked
back to Dante slightly still ticked but he soon noticed it was going to get worse.

While Kindel got back to the house he walked up to Remus seeing grandfather behind him gazing into the fireplace as Sparda
looked back to Kindel seeing him looking worried ashe got up and walked up to him as he stood
there looking at him.

"What is it Kindel?" Sparda asked as he placed his hand onto his shoulder.

Kindel looked to the floor then looked up at him.

"Grandfather, my friends are in trouble and dad and uncle are going after Vertix's father..." Kindel explained to
him as he looked to Remus.

"Who is this Vertix guy?" Remus asked as he walked over to him.

"He was my childhood friend, and now that he never went back home to his father he came here looking for him
and found the wrist band, he thought I killed him...my best friend?...I would never do that, but he's not dead the humans
got him so he's going after the humans..." Kindel explained.

"Who's his father?" Sparda asked.

"Bardosa..." Kindel said.

"I think I've heard of him...yeah I did he isn't that good to get ticked off." Remus said looking to Sparda.

"I see Bardosa's here?...I never thought he had a child." Sparda said looking back to Kindel as he glanced away.

"Please don't kill him...he's my friend." Kindel said.

"I understand Kindel but Bardosa is not like Vertix you got to understand that." Remus said.

"No, we talked about each other all the time me and Vertix, he always wanted to be like his
father like me...you have to believe me." Kindel said.

"Kindel...I don't really know what to say but his father wasn't a good man and if he finds out that his son
was in any kind of bad shape and not in good condition when he last saw his son he won't even care for
life on this planet got it, I know that you been friends but if he finds that his son was tortured he will open
choas onto these plains." Remus said.

"Remus head out and see if you can get Vincent and both of you go find that Vertix kid and get him here." Sparda said.

Remus soon took off, Sparda looked to Kindel as he shook his head looking to the floor Sparda lifted his face as he
placed his hand onto his chin as Kindel looked to him.

"Don't worry Kindel nothing will happen to them, I'll make sure of it." Sparda said.

"Thanks grandpa." Kindel said as he then hugged Sparda as Sparda looked over to the window glancing to the distance
wondering and hoping for them to come back sooner. As time held the humans at peace it was soon coming
to a break as evil awoken up in hell nothing vould ever been worser then this time of year as Sparda waited. Bardosa and the two
twin brothers Dante and Vergil headed to find his son with out knowing that Vincent and Remus already where ahead
of them in a quick pace none of them knew that there was something else where happening, this wasn't
a moment of peace for man kind in the western states as fire broke out every where no one was safe. Is there going to
be another savior? Or will man kinds hand rest in the devils hand...Sparda must make that action once again.

The End....
