Vergil's heart game r4

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.

Unless you're Glory, in which case the rest is the same, but you wake in a library.

These suits of armour are...large. About nine feet tall. There are ten of the ones with the more elaborate armour and massive swords, and about three of the others for every one of the clearly leader type. Luckily only about half of them seem to be working, considering quite a few are chained to their spots. It looks like there used to be many more, but their parts are lying in heaps on the floor, pierced through the chestplates with their own swords. Almost all of these are the elaborate type, though there's a shield or two laying there too.

In fact the longer you look, the more of the destruction there seems to be. Were there always parts of the armour so close to the door?

I don't know, do you? But there's a small huff, but it sounds like amusement. Approval, maybe.

The vision disappears as instantaneously as it formed, and you are left standing where you were, sword in hand. It makes you feel strong.

You've acquired Yamato and seem to inherently know how to use it. That is, a sense of how to go about fighting with a katana, and that it is made to cut through anything, even space, even a soul. There wasn't a way back, but you may have found one. You've unlocked teleportation, look at you go!

...Ah.

[That is so many emotions. Most of them very familiar, except for maybe the monocle one.

And really, she is a danganronpa character so filling her inventory with a bunch of weird items to give to people seems about right. She turns to look at Vergil again.]

[he glances back at Shrike]

... He tried to tell me to give it to you. Which made me wanna answer the dumb question even more.

Every video game character knows that's just how things work.

Vergil watches you, unaware of the feelings share. "Hm...the monocle's wrong, but seems like that's okay. That was definitely the gate opening. You can probably go through."

There isn't anything, but the armour just keeps appearing. Trashed, building up in piles. It inexplicably makes your chest constrict being around this.

A many-armed stone statue of a woman with a snake's lower half, each hand holding a bright flame. She seems to speak in your mind when you stand before her.

I am the combat adjudicator. Only a dark-forged blade can move me.

The statue doesn't move. That's not how that works, buddy.

[His mouth flattens unhappily, turning away from the piles of destroyed armor. That, plus the combo of pained cries (in a voice he hasn't really heard bit is still familiar?) is really starting to get to him.

Turning back to the suits of armor, he approaches the closest one chained down to its spot, and precisely slices through the chains with Yamato]

"Yeah. It won't let me go there, so I'd better stay here." He pauses a moment, looking sullen, before he wraps his arms around your waist.

That's more like it. You style on that statue so hard, as if it's entirely instinct, all the cool moves come to you naturally, things that shouldn't even be possible for you without demon powers? The statue bursts into a geyser of blood -- crystallised into faces twisted in screams. You feel really stylish.



Looks like you got a sticker and 1000 red orbs. Gee Jason how did you get two SSS stickers?

The closer you get, the more irritated they become, and when you cut the one away from the chains, it doesn't thank you. Instead it turns against you, grabbing your head in its hands as if it would crush it.

You have 4 Perseverance, you'll need to spend 1 to get out of that grip.

And then you might want to consider doing something about the others that are called to attention by this.

[She wraps hers around him in return for a tight hug, and also kisses the top of his head.]

...I'll make sure everything works out.
