Vergil's heart game r2
You feel weak, your body won't move no matter how you try, and you are falling, away from everything you know and love. Away from everything you need to accomplish. If you could just reach out, maybe you could hold on to it, claw your way back. But it's a useless endeavour, you fall unconscious, and your mind goes blank except for poetry and a familiar voice.
O mother Enitharmon, wilt thou bring forth other sons?
To cause my name to vanish, that my place may not be found,
For I am faint with travail,
Like the dark cloud disburden'd in the day of dismal thunder.
My roots are brandish'd in the heavens, my fruits in earth beneath
Surge, foam and labour into life, first born and first consum'd!
Consumed and consuming!
Then why shouldst thou, accursed mother, bring me into life?
You wake on the ground in a cave, cold, wet, and sticky. It smells of rotting flesh. Your objective is clear, but you can't recall a name or face. Nothing else about your memory of him is changed, but for some reason the name "Vergil" just won't come to you, and you couldn't describe how he looks if your life depended on it. But at least your body starts to respond to your will, slowly regaining enough strength to carry on.

Following whatever sense the sageo gives him to Vergil's soul.]
Re: THRONE ROOM
But the closer you get, the more irritated they become, until the Proto Angelo you're closest to says in Vergil's voice, "Come," and is immediately flanked by several Scudo Angelos. They don't move from their ready position, but...
Re: THRONE ROOM
[He stops, gesturing the shield and sword in front of himself, quite ready to retreat but not just yet.]
If you would but let me approach I am sure I could retrieve the pieces of your soul without breaking you, if you would let me do so gently.
Re: THRONE ROOM
They rush you all at once, and they certainly know what they're doing. Not only individually as clearly well versed fighters, but in working together, as if they can communicate with one another wordlessly. They're organised and one will even sacrifice itself to allow another an opening.
The leaders use magic electricity bursts from their swords, the soldiers hunker down to block with their near-impenetrable shields.
You have 1 Perseverance, you'll have to spend 1 to kill each group - 2 total. That doesn't add up, does it?
Re: THRONE ROOM
He will try to fight, animating whatever weapons and armor he can to his defense, teleporting to stay out of range, though he knows Vergil is the worst at doing that too, so he attempts not to be too predictable about it.
When he can he tries to engulf armor in fire, or drop orbs to bind some of the attackers for a short time.
But he is prioritizing his own ability to escape over winning right now. He's badly outnumbered and frankly, against Vergil or even these shells of him, likely outmatched.]
Re: THRONE ROOM
At least these Vergils don't teleport, he does have that going for him.
It's tough, they just keep coming. But you do take out a few and manage to escape while losing that single Perseverance point. Going back to the library? Or teleporting elsewhere?
Re: THRONE ROOM
And once he's composed himself from nearly being murdered he'll head for wherever he senses the Yamato since that does seem a little necessary to this.]
