notdreaming | 29 - The horror of that moment I shall never, never forget

[ Video (backdated) ]

Dean attacked Anya.

[ Kara is furious and covered in blood. Don't worry, none of it is hers - it's smeared over her arms, hands, and chest from carrying Anya. There's also a big streak across her face, clearly from pushing her hair back over her ear. She's returned to the infirmary after first giving Anya triage and second locking Dean in a cell. ]

He's in Zero now. If the punishment isn't leaving him to rot there for the rest of his sorry existence, I don't want anything to do with it. [ Her voice is icy cold with the hatred she's feeling right now. Not just for Dean, either - for the Admiral too. ]

Anya is alive and being treated. I doubt she'll welcome casual visitors.

Ah, and maintenance - Pietro and I had to destroy one of the cells. I don't know if the Admiral will replace what was broken. He doesn't seem to care.

[ Vergil shifted his hands in his pocket to yank his jacket up so the tails guarded his hair from any gore that may have sprayed from the once eye when it hit. Idly reminded of Dante popping out of the flying whales eye. It amused him even if he said nothing. Thanks to Tiffany's wish in Paris all he had to do was see Kara and then a lot of blue light exploded around him and he appeared at Kara's side. He got his teleporting back.]

A fine kill. [ He complimented just flicking Yamato a bit free of it's sheath. Not yet takingt the sword out.] Shall we dance?

[ She's a little surprised to see him teleporting, but not alarmed. She does eye the sword though. ]

Is it magic? [ How careful is she going to need to be around it? ]

From:

[ He looked down to Yamato and smirked. ]

This sword was forged in hellfire, from the proud soul of a slain demon for one much more powerful than the fallen. What do you think?

[ Devil Arms are amazing.]

I think that sounds like a fairy tale. Should be fun. [ He's rubbing off on her, and probably not in any way that's good.

She jumps rather than fly, leaving a crater in her wake. She's pulling out all the stops today. ]

From:

walkthedarkpath

[ Oh fuck yes this would be fun. He waited until she created the crater which as the dust cleared he had knelled to shield his eyes. He couldn't fly no, but he had a few tricks up his sleeve. He jumped high to escape the dent left, ready for whatever monsters or tricks she programmed in.]

From:

notdreaming

[ She gave the program very basic parameters: large, strong, and monstrous. For inspiration she provided references to a number of texts both fictional and factual. Which is why there's a dragon-like Kryptonian dinosaur playing Godzilla a mile away. ]

From:

walkthedarkpath

[ Oh how Vergil smirked seeing that godzilla beast coming at them. His eyes moved to Kara first then to the beast as he walked in a true demonic strut towards the creature. This was pride and Adrenalin building.

From:

notdreaming

[ Compared to the beast Kara is little more than a speck, and yet off she flies to give it an earth-shattering right hook to the stomach. She could have gone for the head, but it's more fun if she gets to beta it up a bit and gives Vergil a chance to play. ]

[ The bigger they are, the harder, they will fall. Vergil knew that anything could kill him if it had the right knowlege, but he lived by his father's battle logic. Fight,and fight well. If you fall it deserved go take you down, but let nothing unworthy have the honor of your death.

After a few moments of walking he jumped up, bounceing himself up higher and higher as he got closer on whatever destruction he could land his feet on once he sees Kara give it the hit he held his hands out so the summoned swords spun around him, be it rather slowly. He knew locked down he couldn't just punch it and break its face, and he lacked Beowulf to do more, so he jumped at it, as he got closer he shifted his fists so the swords spun faster almost like a saw hitting the beast low, near the stomach as the swords took a chunk out before vanishing, and painting Vergils hair with whatever color it may bleed. And he landed on the dragon, slowly sliding down on those riding boots. Kara's turn.]

From:

notdreaming

[ Reptilian green blood splashes across Vergil's head, and Kara discovers that the different color makes it far less nauseating.

Just for the chance to show off, Kara goes for the creature's feet. The feet, of course, attack, but she ignores it as one mouth clamps all the way around her middle.

She picks the beast up by the foot - though she has to spin it around to get it all the way off the ground. ]

From:

walkthedarkpath

[ He didn't seem bothered by the blood at all, and luckily this is why most of his fighting clothes are made of leather, just so most of it rolls off or will easily wash off. Vergil jumps from where he landed. Flipping backwards to land on his feet back just enough to watch as she lifts the creature, shifting as he flicked Yamato just a bit preparing to pull the sword, but he was waiting, he had a feeling she was going to throw the dragon, if so, he was ready.]

From:

notdreaming

[ Kara waits until he settles, so that she can fling the beast in his direction. It roars ferociously, confused and alarmed by this treatment.

Your move, Vergil. ]

From:

walkthedarkpath

[ He had not really gotten to show off with Yamato on a real enemy since Tiffany got him his beloved sword back. So when Kara threw the beast he used one of his fancier Dark Slayer moves he usually reserved for tight situations pulling the blade fast enough to make the blade almost shimmer, turning fast as he let go and Yamato flew through the air in an arch before embedding deep in its neck and Vergil vanished from the ground appearing high in the air, dive bombing down towards where the hilt remained. Yeah he's showing off. Twisting himself in the air his boots came down hard on the hilt of Yamato pulling the blade down hard in the creature tearing it open with the force of Vergils weight and fall.]

From:

notdreaming

[ The beast goes down, but its various parts take their death throes violently. Kara comes away from the foot with a bloody detached head still snapping it's teeth under her arm. She's actually breathing a little heavy, though it's from instinct and not any actual need.

She tosses the head away before fly-leaping over to the main head to observe the thing's massive teeth - the smallest of which is as tall as she is. ]

From:

walkthedarkpath

[ Vergil hit the ground harder than one might expect, even if he landed on his feet a normal human's legs might have shattered. He didn't even flinch he just watched as the head wobbled after Kara, twisting and throwing Yamato like a boomarang of all things, the sword going through the head, still might not kill the thing, but Vergil figured it would help her out. Like a bullet, Yamato went through the head and out the other side embeding in one of the fake building walls.]

From:

notdreaming

[ Kara can't help the quick x-ray glance at his legs, just to make sure nothing's damaged. She isn't surprised to find that nothing is. She walks over to the sword and pulls it like butter out of the brick of the wall. Then she turns to toss it to Vergil, giving it a spin. She knows he's skilled enough to catch the hilt as long as it points at him eventually.

There are still dark, angry shadows in her eyes, but she looks calmer now. ]

From:

walkthedarkpath

[ What she might see when he landed was the bone cracking and sealing in less than a second, his healing was still slowed compared when he is off of the barge but still faster than a lot would expect. It stung but he was hiding it quite well.

Yamato had a feeling to it besides that of a normal sword, a low hum of energy. Almost like making someone feel more powerful with it in their grasp. ANd he did walk closer to catch the hilt a moment or so later. A smirk on his lips.]

Well, that was fun, what shall we do now?"

From:

notdreaming

I don't know. [ There's still some bitterness in her voice, but it's more resigned now. ]

I've never felt so powerless in my life. Not even when I've been powerless.

From:

walkthedarkpath

Take that feeling and let it motivate you to do better.

[ His tone far too knowing.]

You are strong but not a god, you can only do so much, and not everyone wants saved. Some will did, but never forget the feeling you feel now, and strive to never relive this misery. These are lessons only failure can teach, a bittersweet lesson in the truth of a driving pain.

[ Her fist flies out suddenly and the tooth nearest her, one taller even than she is, explodes into a thousand shards. ]

Next time I'll shoot him first.

From:

walkthedarkpath

Vergil brushed some of the shards that rained down off of his coat despite the fact he's kinda covered in dragon gore. His coat doesnt seem to be soaking any of it in.]

Are you prepared to take a humans life? He is a human, is he not? And from what I have seen one willing to do a lot for others. You need to think of these things.

From:

notdreaming

[ Of course Vergil has a blood proof jacket. Of course. She takes a breath and sort of expands, like an angry bird. ]

What has he done that's so humane? If this was Krypton she would be dead, and he would be locked away in a hole in the ground and forgotten. Two lives wasted. For what?

From:

walkthedarkpath

[ Of course he does, he loves his blue coat, it was the most expensive thing he owns that he didn't gain though inheritance or murder.]

Kara, on your planet I would be locked away. I have taken many lives, sometimes people walk a darker path to assure a brighter tomorrow. Maybe he had reasons? Maybe the ship made him, have you spoken to him?

From:

notdreaming

[ Wow, Vergil just used "I'm a decent person" as an argument. Kara is a little stunned. ]

He wouldn't say anything, and now he's unconscious.

From:

walkthedarkpath

[ He likes to make people think outside of the box, namely this girls hes more or less accepted as part of his intergalactic prison family. ]

In his posistion, I wouldn't speak either no matter what torture was implemented. Even if there was no good reason, and something tells me he had one. He pulled the Sha out of me, Kara. He was worn down and clearly not in the spirit to do it but he did. I give him the benefit of the doubt when it comes to this.
