Kyle watched Train through thinned eyes as he looked back to the teeth. "That'll be no good. All princes bodily fluids are toxic. If we dare go to any sensitive parts of this prince's body he'll dissolve us." He frowned. "I'm not liking that idea." He looked around himself then looked straight up. "If you want to aim anywhere, aim at its brain. Aiming out of a cheek or neck is pointless other than to anger him more. We want these moves to be fatal for him. We want this to be over." He nodded to himself, looking back to Train maturely.
Leviathan screeched out in complaint as it grudgingly stumbled to get itself out of its hole as Vergil's eyes thinned. "Neck's a bad place then." He slapped his own forehead. "Of course. Leviathan has many heads." He shook his head like it was an obvious conclusion. "How could I forget something so important." Vergil nodded to himself as he took his claymore and stuck it in the ground. "This calls for special measures then." He placed his hand gently on the hilt of the claymore as it suddenly started to shift shape. "Deicide, show me something beautiful." Suddenly the claymore took an elongated shape instead of its original sword like shape. Instead now it related more to that of a two-pronged spear. Vergil took it into his hands again and reached his arm back. "Fu! Hold it completely still!"

*Fu gave a nod and pulled two scrolls out of his coat, letting them role open, "I'm getting two old for this, going to need help to hold this huge things still." From the scrolls summoned a wolf, Danzo, the Earth Ninja Canine. "I need alittle extra chakra." Fu replied as Danzo agreed. This time when Fu did his handsigns he slapped them to the ground it made indents, "Earth Master stile, Earth Coffen!" Just like that the earth that had sunk over half of labithens body started to move like it was alive, and litarly moved to bind the gaint to it's place. There was now way out of it's grasp, however Fun had to hold possistion, "Do it quickly!"
Train nodded and pointed up to where the brain should be, "huh seems I like your plan better." He shied and put his scth back, to draw haites out again. He thought about it though, "going to need something better then nitro-glishen rounds though." He changed the bullets out to something with small drill like ends, "This should do though." He closed the chamber and pointed up. BAM, first shot, BAM, Second. This went a total of six times. Each round was aimed at a slight angle, making it so no matter the size or actul location of the brain, it would be hit if not more then once in the first place. "Might wanna hold on to something." Train replied quickly...

Vergil grinned as he saw Leviathan was in a state of complete vulnerability and he readied his weapon. "I hope my javelin is still up to scratch, for all of our sakes." Vergil inhaled and exhaled, raising his accuracy before he bulked himself up for the throw. As he let it slice through the air he let out an affirmed grunt that he made the right shot, and the two prongs cleanly cut through Leviathans scaled armour and through his heart. Leviathan cried out in agony but came to a slow halt, and eventually hardened like he'd turned into stone. At this prince's death, there was a violent earthquake. And a shadow that drained all of the colour of of Leviathans body slunk away like all the others had done. Leviathan's body stayed, trapped in time as if a massive statue, and Vergil was sure that it was going to remain as a symbol of their triumph today. "But it's not over." Vergil told himself with a scowl. Vergil turned his head quickly as he heard another smash nearby and a screech of anguish. He saw a brief flash of fiery wings and coarse fur before they disappeared again. There was a final screech before a deafening silence. Two figures jumped out onto a crumbled rooftop and huffed violently. Demi, the wife, with her beautiful full Phoenix wings out at her sides stood there triumphantly with a few scratches that she sustained. However her expression wasn't triumphant. She worriedly tendered to her injured husband, Mordekai, who collapsed on this rooftop in his mighty wolf form. Over the years he'd sustained many scars and his grey fur seemed to tell a lot of what his human body wasn't telling. He was getting old. And from that battle with their prince he'd only just managed to get out of it alive. "Help!!" Demi cried. "We need help! He's seriously hurt!!" Vergil winced. It wasn't his place.
Kyle's eyes thinned as suddenly the beast roared in protest at the pain. Both Train and Kyle were suddenly lifted into the air as the beast opened its mouth and propelled the two of them out before spasming back into the ground from where it came. Kyle landed gracefully on a rooftop and wiped off all the grime. "He didn't like that." Kyle watched the ground carefully. There were no signs of movement. No signs of anything in fact. Hopefully it was dead. And as if to signify its death, a shadow crept out of one of the holes it made in the ground and rushed to safety along with all the others that had come before.

Fu smiled at the large rock form of the prince. Interesting. But then he had to stand up and pick up his scrolls. A call came our and Fu looked up, it seems things were not well for all. But they were up aginst princes, that made sense. Fu looked to Danzo, "lets roll." Fu leaped on the wolfs back and they quickly made it untop of the building where Fu hopped off and got to mordikeis side to inspect the damage, "alright We'll have to move him quickly. It's best that way." He didn't even give them much chance to explain or anything as he Carfully took hold of Mordiki and looked to Demi, "Soflora and Moon are on standby for all of our family who end up hurt. Meet us in the safe zone, at the hospital tent." And with that Fu used his ninja teleportation and appeared in the tent with a stumble, but cought himself as he made haste to Soflora, "My queen Mordikei is injured the others are on there way..." Fu wasn't allowing him to die. No, even if there was nothing to do for him, he couldn't chance Demi loosing control over his death either. Solfora of course made haste to get mordikei onto a table, where the expert, Moon was called over from the wounded. "Oh dear. Alright i'll see what I can do... but I'm not a merical worker."
Meanwhile Train laughed, "served him right." He blew the smoke from Hates and placed it on his side, whipping around quickly shoving his hands in his pockets and slumping, "nice knowing you kiddo. But my task here is done. Best be headed back. Cant leave the little one for too long, she really likes me around." He chuckled as if everything was okay, with not a care in the world. It was odd seeing train serious and also loving for real. He wasn't the pervert he always made out to be at most times. Or maybe that was because of Eve's death. If anyone in the world could take it harshly it would be Hiyo or Silveia, but Train would defiantly feel it was his fault whether he let worry him or not.

Mordekai had returned to his human form but this only made his wounds look that much more brutal. He had a giant hole that went straight through his stomach, a nice clean circle. And as a concequence of this he was loosing a lot of blood form everywhere, especially his mouth. He was growing cold, and as Demi arrived she had a deathly expression. "H-he's not doing well, is he?" She rushed to his side and took his face in her warm hands. "Don't you dare die on me now Mordekai. Not here, not in this place." Suddenly Dante and Kiiro walked into the tent with serious expressions, however were shocked to see Mordekai this way. Dante frowned. "No sign of Lucifer yet. Although the princes are slowly being destroyed. Five so far. There's just Beelzebub left before Lucifer. Beelzebub is second to Lucifer, so he's going to be no walk in the park. But I have a feeling that all their power as they die is going back to Lucifer." Kiiro nodded. "The princes are fathers lifeline." However she didn't mention something else as another voice interrupted. "You won't be able to destroy him in the state you're in now, Dante Yokai." Dante turned with a scowl. "This is a private tent." He however stopped to look at this unusual man, like no one he'd ever seen before. Vergil stood there with a small smile. "I think you're going to want to know what I have to offer."
Kyle stood there for a few moments as he let the symbols that surrounded him fade back into nothingness. The battle had drained him. He'd even got injured, that had never happened before. He needed to revalue most things that he knew, and he started to grow worried for what was going to happen next. He'd been having dreams about this day, that something terrible was going to happen, but he knew that it happened yet. If something horrible was going to happen, how much worse could this get? For now, he needed to fix himself up in the medical tent. So that's where he headed. Unknowing to the horror that awaited him there.

Moon was all flustered, trying hard to act fast to mordikeis large hole wound, but the hard part was, there was nothing there. With things missing, she couldn't do much of anything but let him die. "Where is Veria when you need her damnit!" At this point Shortstraw walked into the tent finally and placed hana down on a different medical table, "she's fine, just needs rest." He looked up, "oh s**t!" He ran over to the sene, "crap! Crap! Crap!" He blinked at Demi, "your a phonix right? Aren't your tears suppost to heal anything?" It was just an idea, he hadn't thought of the fact it couldn't make things just magicaly reappear where nothing was. Soflora stood silently for a moment, for once not latching to Donte the moment he got there, "Perhaps one of the Arch Angels can help him. I'll see if any will even come here to assit." She moved quickly out of the tent. But sadly she already knew, the Angels each had there own abiltiys, so which one could heal? Well she soon found out, the one that was missing, the Angel of Life, was the one that cold heal anything. Deathica however did walk into the tent to get a good look. After all, she came close to healing things that were dyeing or destend too soon. But even she hadn't said anything when she entered the tent, just seemed in thought, her head cocking to the side from time to time. Moon however by this point stepped aside to let the angel decide what else to do, she noticed Kyle was hurt. Hold it. Kyle? She didn't even belive it as she offered him a seat, and went to inspect the wound, "I'm supprized Nate isn't here to assit you..." she whispered lowly so that only the two of them could hear. "Cresent keeps an eye on everyone. I know it's not my buissness. But she has to relive stress sometimes, so she speaks to me." She nodded, "Going to need stiches, but as far as I can tell your be alright." Well it seemed the tent was filling up now as Lilly walked in, her job was guard the tent, "Master with do respect, I didn't let this man in." She replied pointing to Vergal, "but he seems to claim you must speak with him anyways." She hand her hand on her holy sword, ready to strike the new character down if he acted at all aginst donte or his desitions. It was nice to be needed again, for Donte to be back. Like soflora, she just wanted to latch to him, and never let him go, but at times like this, they had to endure, and hope that things would be fine In the end.

Kyle rolled his shoulder a little as he coughed and nodded. "I knew I'd be fine. It's just.. never really happened to me before." He looked around himself. "Nate's looking after Conor for Kii-.." Kyle stopped in his tracks as he noticed his father bleeding to death and his mother sobbing next to him. He took a moment to swallow, not really knowing what to do. Those were his parents, and his father was dying. "It doesn't work like that." Demi sobbed. "Phoenix tears won't heal mortal wounds.. like this.. I don't know.." She broke down into a flurry of tears again as Mordekai coughed up a little blood. "Hey.. hey Demi.. don't cry here.. I've never heard you cry.. before.." "Father.." Kyle said softly as he looked down on him, standing over his bleeding body with a frown. Mordekai struggled a smile. "Kyle.. my boy.. you're here.." Kyle scowled. "Father.. it shouldn't have been you two against the prince. You two are so pure of sin.. you didn't deserve this. You don't deserve this kind of pain." Mordekai smiled more. "We were... too lazy with you.. Kyle.. that's why we got.. sloth.."
Dante was skeptical as he looked between Lilly and this new man, but shrugged. He wasn't all that strict guy that he pretended to be sometimes. Dante sat down at a hastily built table and put his head on his hand. "All right. I'll hear you out. What do you want to say? Who are you? Why're you here in these times? This is no place for a civilian." Vergil grinned. "I'm not a civilian. My name is Vergil. Vergil Grande. My father was Bryce Grande, your older sister knew him very well." Dante's eyes thinned, his interest was piqued. "You're a prince from Altaria." Vergil nodded. "That's where I was born." Dante frowned. "Altaria haven't been involved in Summits for years, hardly anyone knows what's happening in the capital, they sealed themselves off from the rest of the world. Its been a real killer on weaponry imports, your country handled all that." Vergil sighed. "I'm not here to talk politics." He suddenly slammed down the giant two-pronged spear, making everyone who was listening flinch. "I'm here to talk about this." Kiiro's eyes opened wide, only she was the only other person who knew what it was.

Shortstraw placed a hand on Kyles good shoulder for good measure to let him know, that it wasn't just him this would effect. Fu shook his head, "well your the Angel of Death right? Does he die here or not?" Dethica finally broke out of her trance then did the unthinkable of the angels. She shrugged. "With the war about, and the deaths of even innocents of a unknown, unforeseen culse, our charactristics are off balance. As so are the war between this would and the princes..." she coffed her dusty throat, "but there is no way to heal him without a major price. Expechally unforeseen price..." she replied with alittle unease. Fact was, she wasn't sure if she was suppost to save him or not, she always had known, so right now she wasn't sure to save him or not. But he was pure, and of the Yokai family in a way. Surly he would raze to the hevens or to hell. After all he was the brother of Ameile and Hikari Madisen. "Mordikei Madisen, I'm sure either way this becomes we will meet again however..." she turned away to leave with her head down. The mortals here would blame her for this, but it could not be undone. Fu shied and looked to Demi, "I remember this sorta thing happened to you once, and you two were still able to bounce back. Have Faith."

Demi frowned. "I fear this is too much for us this time." She smiled through her tears as she looked to her husband fondly and gripped his hand tight with both of hers. "We've outstayed our welcome in this world." Kyle scowled as he suddenly looked to his mother. "We? What do you mean 'we'? You're not.." Demi smiled up to his son warmly. "Me and your father are bound by spirit and soul. In our marriage we gave each other half of our own soul, it's a tradition in Guardian ancestry. If we die, we die together." Kyle's blood ran cold, and his expression dropped even more. Kiiro had walked over this side of the tent so to avoid Dante and Vergil, and frowned at the family scene. "I suppose that's what's keeping Mordekai alive right now, your soul." Demi smiled through a sob and a nod. "I suppose so. Yes." Kyle was in complete disbelief. "I can't.. I can't lose you both at the same time.. I can't.."
Dante looked to the massive red weapon with wide eyes. "What's this supposed to be?" Vergil smiled. "Your key to success." Dante sighed as he stood up. "Okay, I really don't have time for this. Explain yourself now or I'm gone, I have duties to which I need to attend to." Vergil grinned. "What, like slaying Lucifer?" Dante looked back to Vergil with a frown. "And I suppose you're to help me with that?" Vergil licked his lips. "You're not going to be able to do s**t without that spear." Dante's eyes fell down onto the spear again as he squinted. "Why? What's so special about it?" Vergil leaned in slightly. "Can't you feel that? It's power? That there my boy, is a God slaying machine."

Lilly crossed her arms, "then why would a mortal be the one wielding it. Even more so, why are you of all people." She knew it wasn't her place, but still. "What role exacly can this spear play, this god slaying weapon you speak of? What quilifycations do you need to weild it, surly theres a price for such a power." She had a point, and this was to remind Donte of that before things got more serious.
Meanwhile Shortstraw shied, "we will help you through it Kyle. Just gotta let us, trust in us. We all go thorugh this sorta thing, maybe not always exacly, but at some point in our lives." He spoke with truth, but also he was staring down at mordikei as if he understood them. Was it because he died and came back? No. It was because as a parent, he could understand what it ment, and as lovers, what it felt like. He carfully took kyles hand and moved it over to his fathers, patting his shoulder and letting go finally as he whispered, "I think it's time you three finally get the family time you sould have had but ended up avoiding for quiet some time." He turned to the others, as if ordering them to step away, even if it ment not far at all. They would still be in the tent, could probably hear everything. But it wasn't there place to comment, or even watch this happen or take place.
Fu however reached for the weapon, He was a weapons master, if anyone could see what was needed like lilly said it was him right? Well that and he didn't really care, he just saw it in action. He was scared what this could do in the hands of anyone on the earth.

Kyle watched his father and mother curl into each other, weeping but weeping happy tears. Kyle didn't understand. They knew they were about to die, but they were still happy? He didn't understand.. "We're happy, Kyle.." His mother started as she took his other available hand. "We're happy because we've lived a full life. We've experienced everything we've ever wished. We've lived through countless numbers of our friends lifetimes. We're happy because we have each other to face the darkness with. And we're especially happy because we're so proud of you Kyle. The man you've become. You're everything we wanted in a son and more." Kyle frowned more until he kneeled down to put his forehead on Mordekai's chest, where Demi hugged them both. "Thank you.. mother.. father.." He choked on his words. Mordekai stifled a cough before putting his hand weakly on Kyle's head. "I'm sorry.. we weren't more for you.. Kyle.." Kyle looked to him with a pitied frown. "I'm sorry I never visited you both." Demi smiled to him. "You're living your own life now Kyle." She said, as she started to feel the life being drained from Mordekai, and so herself. She coughed. "Don't make the same mistakes we did." And with that, Demi and Mordekai Madison were gone. Demi laid cradled in Mordekai's arms, just as they had always been. Kyle stood and stared at them both disbelievingly. They were gone, his parents were dead. And there he stood for a couple of minutes. Until when Kiiro got impatient and walked back over to them, Kyle was gone without nothing more than a drop of his blood from his arm.
As Fu would touch the weapon it would spark him back and make his arm ache. Vergil laughed. "This weapon chooses its wielder." He looked back to Dante. "I want to see him hold it." Dante looked to Vergil with a scowl however was curious to see himself. He reached out slowly, tentatively, and picked up the spear strongly, wielding it at his side. "It chooses the mortal wielder based on its prophecy. It exists only for Dante's prophecy even though it's existed for thousands of years. My side of the family have been in possession of it just for this moment right here. When I give it to you, Dante Inferno Yokai, to make Lucifer mortal and to slay him where he stands." Dante looked to the weapon in his hand and back up to Vergil, confused. "Why did your family know about this prophecy so many years ago?" Vergil grinned and folded his arms across his bare chest. "We're distant relatives, you and I."

Shortstraw looked over his shoulder to find kyle gone, and kirro standing there. He nodded to Kirro as Moon placed a blanket over the two dead corpses, they would have a proper barrel when all this was over. However shortstraw shot back when Vergal said he was a relative. "SHocker there." He chuckled and crossed his arms. This was a good front to help himself not cry. Shortstraw always weak when it came to feeling, expechally to death. But for some reason he felt he could muster it this time, and focuse on dontes task, help if he could. "Let me guess from his mothers side of the family?" He asked unsure if he nailed it or not. Frankly, he would think yuji would tell him, but then again, yuji used to always add in family memebers out of the blue in the past. Fu on the other hand nodded, "I see. This is that blades brother..." he mumbled surly cetching some attention, "oh. Well you see that blade can make the prince mortal. However there was another that was used by an angel that sent him to hell orgnally known in mortal toung as the Justus Blade, course it's get a better sounding in angel toung. But you get the point. Donte, I think you should trust this mans words. That's from a weapon masters point of view." Lilly however leaned alittle on the table, "but... how did yuji know the proficy then? Did he know your family side?" She was sorta in shock here, sh felt yuji would have told her, since she was handed down to donte for this purpose...

Vergil shrugged. "I was simply told these things from my mother. I have no idea where they come from, or where our families connect. Just that they do. And that this is true for us." He looked back to Dante. "If you ever need my help during the final battle, you have all of me. I am yours. But this battle is yours and yours alone." "He's not going to be alone." Kiiro walked up beside and close up to Dante and stared at Vergil. "We're facing my father together." Vergil's happy expression quickly faded at the arrival of Kiiro and his eyes thinned dramatically. "You're the hell princess." Kiiro raised an eyebrow. "Yes? What about it?" Vergil looked to both Dante and Kiiro before shaking his head. "Nothing.. It's nothing.." He however had an inward confliction. "How is it that you're here? With this family?" Kiiro tilted her head slightly. "I'm nothing like my father. I bound myself to Dante to help him in everything that he does. And I've grown emotional attachments to all of the people here." Vergil stared at her very intently for a few moments before looking to the others again. "And you all care for her?"

Shortstraw gave a nod, "of course she is part of the Yokai family. We don't just follow bloodline, we follow the meaning of the name. Something I learned when I joined in a while back." He crossed his arms, "and just like she said, she is bound to Donte through his soul anyways. It doesn't matter who she is, it's how she wants to be, and what so does with her own choices in life that matters. She chose us, we chose her and accepted her." He nodded looking around, "hold up I see almost everyone from the other princes... but where is Evelyn." That just reminded him of his own connection. Hell he died, he hoped it wouldn't effect her, luckily it didn't. His soul, was now hers forever, or as long as forever could be. He just wanted to make sure she was okay. Infact he almost looked panicked about it.
Meanwhile Ameillea was at home, "alright Rose it's your turn." she replied as she appeared in the house before Cale set out to finally assist under Veria's order of leaving Hikari and Ameile. "Keep my father alive, and make sure you don't go too wild." She warned. Rose shied in her human form, just two tails flapping around behind her as she gave a nod and crossed her arms through the lecture, "yea yea. What number am I allowed?" Ameillea thought about it, "I will only alow ten at the most. Go beyond that, and I will punish you for it. No jokeing here, this is a serious thing." Rose nodded, "yea yea. So what of the rest?" Ameillea nodded, "It seems my granfathers/uncles personality is with Evleyn on the side of spirts aginst the devils, but when the prince rises himself, hell will fully open up. I'll lead the Kitsuines into the battle to hold them off while Uncle donte does his thing. Good luck." Rose nodded, "right... stay safe mistress~"

Vergil however looked back to Dante and Kiiro, confused and almost scared. "I see." Kiiro pulled a face. "Why? What's wrong?" Vergil shook his head. "It's not my place to tell you. We'll only see what fate plans out for us." Dante sighed but shrugged off the doom and gloom as he raised his spear. "Enough of this." He looked to Kiiro with a grin, sliding his arm in with hers. "Ready to go show your big bad daddy who's boss?" Kiiro let out a weak smile. "If that's what you wish, mister Dante." Dante chuckled. "Jeez, I'm not forcing you to do anything. You know once Beelzebub is killed we'll get to face your father and end all of this mess and suffering once and for all." Kiiro nodded with a smile. "Yes.. I look forward to an end to the chaos." And with a peck on the cheek for Soflora, Kiiro and Dante set off again to prepare for their big battle, all the while Vergil staring at them before he looked back to Shortstraw. "The cat girl? Yeah I watched her fight that prince with that other guy. She went really psycho. But they cleaned up their prince in a pinch. They went to face the rest of the devils by themselves."
After Cale had said his goodbye's to Veira he made his way back into town again. He was chosen to face a prince of Hell? How ironic was that. That was the last thing he wanted to do. His attacks would be super effective against it but so will its attacks against him. His best strategy he thought would be to make this battle short and sweet so that he didn't get too beaten up, but he knew that wouldn't happen now. He sighed.
