Chapter One: A New Life

Vergil opened his eyes to see himself in a white void, where nothingness spread across the world like a desert. 'Is this the afterlife? I expected something more.' He thought, looking unimpressed.

"Forgive me if my home does not meet your standards, son of Sparda." A voice said, although Vergil couldn't tell from which direction it came from since it sounded like it came from all sides.

"Show yourself!" the young half devil demanded as he gripped Yamato firmly in his left hand while his right reached for the handle.

The voice laughed. " Do not fret young Sparta, I am not an enemy and to prove this I shall reveal myself to you," Out of the void, a white light began to shine forcing Vergil to shield himself from the brightness of the light, as the light began to die down Vergil lowered his arm and saw a man in a white suit stand before him.

The man was Caucasian, with grey hair, was well build and appeared to be a few years older than Vergil, the young Sparta could feel the power radiating from him the dark slayer didn't know if the stranger was doing it on purpose or not but it didn't help to soften the mood something the man noticed as he saw that Vergil hadn't let go of Yamato's hilt.

"Now now there's no need for hostility, as I said before I mean you no harm, I simply wish to talk" The man said as he brought up his hand to show he mean what he said.

Vergil narrowed his eyes and didn't let up his stance "before we 'talk' I have some questions that you're going to answer" Vergil told the man in a tone that said it wasn't a request.

The man put his hand behind his back in a relaxed manner "very well young Sparta I shall try to answer your questions to the best of my abilities" said the man with an amused tone.

Seeing that the strange man would cooperate Vergil decided to humor him and so he released Yamato's hilt but still remained cautious "first of who are you or what are you?"

"My name is Grigori and I am what is known as a watcher" Grigori said still with his tone of amusement

" A watcher?, I've been to many libraries both of the holy and the infernal and I've never heard of watchers" Vergil stated as he crossed his arms.

"Not surprising you've never heard of us in your books young Sparta seeing as we do not side with either heaven nor hell, not to mention that we never allow ourselves to be seen unless we wish to be seen" the watcher explained

"And what prey tell have I done to gain your attention forcing you to reveal yourself to me?" asked Vergil as he narrowed his eyed cautions while at the same time curious of this beings motives.

A grin grew on the watches face "ah see that is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about, we've been watching you for a very long time young Sparta ever seen you where brought into the world we've watched both you and your brother but it was you who caught my attention the most, your determination to obtain power, your strength, your resolve, but there was something else something that only two other people aside from myself saw in you, light"

"What are you talking about watcher?" Vergil asked now truly curious but made sure not to show it.

"there is light within you Vergil, you might have been able to convince everyone you came across that you where nothing more than a cold power hungry killer, but I know why you seek power" the watcher said with a large smile on his face which only grew as he saw he hit the nail on the head, "and to prove this I've come to offer you a deal.

"And what might this 'deal' be?" the half devil asked a bit intrigued

"A chance at a new life and a chance to gain redemption." Said Grigori

Vergil narrowed his eyes as his tone grew serious. "A new life? Impossible everyone, no matter how powerful, only gets one chance at life and I've already used mine." He said with a hint of sadness in his voice

Grigori laughed. "Yes that is true, although im sure by now you've noticed I am not like other beings."

Vergil closed his eyes in thought. Since it became perfectly clear that the powerful being in front of him wasn't giving him much of a choice, his goal to surpass his father was gone. Vergil had lost that chance with that no longer having a purpose. And now this man was offering him a new life? 'how amusing...'

Vergil considered his choices before asking. "What's the catch?"

Grigori's smirk got bigger. "I knew you were smart. Yes there are several conditions, one you mustn't kill or harm another living being unless necessary, two you will retain your devil side unless you see it absolutely necessary to use it, three a portion will be taken." At hearing this the half devil send a death glare to the mystic being, but before things got out of hand Grigori raised a hand to reassure Vergil. "Do not fret for you will regain that portion in time. fifth if you wish to continue to gain power so be it but you must find a true reason to gain power and sixth well you'll find out when you wake up."

"What do you mean when I wake up?" He asked, eyes narrowing.

The watcher chuckled, something that didn't sit well with the silver haired half devil. "You'll see soon enough, Good luck Son of Sparda," The void broke apart as Vergil began falling back to Earth, although not the Earth he knew.

Earth Land-X769

Vergil felt like his head was going to burst apart, as he opened his eyes, he noticed that he was in a forest clearing and the sun was setting.

'Where am I and why do I feel different.' He saw Yamato laying nearby and reached out to grab it when he noticed why he felt different. His arm was reduce in size, looking like the arm of an five year old.

'What in the world!' He looked around and saw a nearby stream, once there he looked at his reflection. His face was of a five year old and his blue eyes staring back at him. Somehow he could hear that damn man's laughter in his mind. 'If I ever see that bastard again I will slice him apart.'

Vergil picked up Yamato and walked off in a random direction, uncaring of where he went. He came out of the forest and found himself on the outskirts of a small village.

He then heard something from behind and turned around to see a wagon pulled by two horses and a young woman with raven black hair driving it. When she saw him, she pulled to a halt, stopping right near him and he could see that she was wearing a white shirt with blue jeans.

"Hey kid," Vergil's left eye twitch in annoyance at that. "Are you lost? Where are your parents?"

Vergil looked at her with an emotionless look. "I was just finding my way into town and as for my parents, they died a long time ago."

The woman gained a sad look. "Sorry to hear that kid, hey if you don't have anywhere to go you can stay with me for a while. I've got plenty of room in my bar for someone like you."

Vergil shook his head. "Thank you for your offer but I can manage on my own." Before he could walk away, his stomach growled loudly and he remembered that he hadn't eaten since he opened the Temen-ni-gru.

The woman laughed. "Well it seems you need food in that stomach. come on just follow me and I'll cook you something up." Vergil considered his opinions and decided to go with the woman who was about to get off to help him up but Vergil easily jumped on board the wagon, landing beside her.

The woman's eyes widen in surprise and awe. "Impressive," She made the horses go forward and continue on her way to town. "So kid what's your name?"

"Vergil, Vergil Sparda." He replied, looking forward at the nearing town. "Well my name is Sora Kazama."

Hope town - Morningstar Tavern

"Welcome to my little home," Sora said, gesturing to the medium size bar. "The rooms are upstairs but after your done eating I want you to help me unload."

Vergil raised an eyebrow at her. "You invite me to your home for food and now you're telling to help you unload."

The woman shrugged. "My mother taught me that nothing is free so I expect you to help me around the bar and don't worry, its nothing heavy. Just a few crates of food and drinks." Vergil sighed and sat down as she walked into the kitchen, coming out a few minutes later with some rice, fish and drinks. "Sorry for the light meal, like I said the rest is in those crates."

When she turned away for a second to look at Yamato, which was leaning beside Vergil, he was already done eating. "What the? How did you?" She stuttered out as she examined the empty plate. She then looked at at the silver haired boy who was walking back out to the wagon to get the crates so she ran out with him. Vergil watched as she took out one crate of five, struggling to hold it even though she was using two hands. He jumped into the back and came back out with the other four, surprising Sora so much she almost dropped the crate she was holding.

"Your just full of surprises aren't you Vergil." She said to herself as she walked back in and placed the crate in the kitchen where the rest were. She looked at Vergil and frowned which he noticed.

"Is there something wrong?" She pointed to his clothes. "You need to get out of those rags." Blinking he looked down at his clothes and sure enough he wasn't wearing his usual attire but instead a shirt and pants that was stitched together. Before he could think where these clothes came from, Sora grabbed his left hand and began to drag him out of the tavern.

"Come on, I have a friend whose a tailor." Vergil broke out of her grip easily and said. "At least let me grab my sword." She sighed and nodded as he went back inside, coming out with Yamato in his left hand.

Later

"Sora! Glad your back from your trip!" An aqua haired woman said as she embrace her friend as Sora smiled. "Nice to be back, Maya but before we can talk I'm gonna have to cash in one of those favors you owe me." She motioned to Vergil who was looking bored.

Maya knelt to meet his eyes. "A real cute one you got here Sora," She pinched his right cheeks as a tic mark appeared on Vergil's for head and if it wasn't for the agreement Vergil made with Grigori he would have broken her hands. "He defiantly looks like he'll grow up to be a real looker when he grows up. Is he yours?"

Sora shook her head. "I found him by the road but ill tell you about it later, I need you get him some new clothes."

Maya nodded and took a tape measure from a nearby table. "Alright then this won't take long."

Five minutes later

'Wow, she wasn't kidding when she said it wasn't going to take long.' Vergil looked at his new attire. He wore a black long sleeve jacket along with a midnight blue shirt, black pants that reached his ankles, tan boots and Yamato in his left hand. Vergil had decided that if he was in a new world why not have a new look 'a little change never hurt anyone' he thought as he looked at his new clothes

"well I can definitely say this kid you have good taste that's for sure." Stated Sora as they walked back to the bar.

Sora unlocked her bar's door. "Anyway you look like the smart kind so you'll be helping me with the orders," She walked in and went behind the bar. "People will be coming in here soon, so get ready." Vergil sighed as he took a notepad from the counter and stood ready, setting Yamato behind the counter where people wouldn't see it.

An Hour Later

Sora wasn't kidding when the tavern would be packed soon. In an hour, the place was filled with people, all drinking happily and chatting to each other. However most of the older women were talking about him, saying how cute he looked taking orders.

"Sora I need two more Angel's Drinks for table six." Vergil said, placing the order on the counter. Sora smiled and quickly began to make said drinks. "Coming up and here the drinks for table nine." Vergil took the nine drinks on the dish with one hand, not showing any effort, and brought the drinks to the people waiting whom were women.

"See ladies a real cutie Sora's got working here." They giggled as Vergil placed the drinks down on the table gently. "Enjoy your drinks." He said in an uncaring tone but it only seemed to cause him to look cuter in there eyes.

"Aw! Acting like a cold guy now are you?" Vergil resisted the urge to face palm and turned away from the giggling table of women. However the good atmosphere was broken when the door burst opened and a large man with a sword strapped to his back walked in, laughing loudly. Behind him where seven men, each with a weapon on their body.

"Make way for the Red crow's Guild! The most powerful guild in all of Fiore!" The large man walked over to an empty table and sat down, the other men following him.

Vergil walked to Sora who was looking at the newcomers with a look of disgust and hatred. "Who are those people?"

"They're just mages who dirty the good reputation of other mages. The big one is named Reaven, he and his pack of scum have been terrorizing this town for a while now, nothing serious asides from demanding free food and drinks. Although he has hurt people before but if we try to call the Magic Council, he threatens to burn this town to the ground."

"Listen up, me and my guild mates want free drinks for the entire night and some entertainment from the ladies!" Sora gritted her teeth together but stopped when she saw Vergil walking up to them.

The men looked at the child with little interest. "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave, your bothering the other costumers."

One of the men, who had a red mohawk, stood up and walked over to Vergil. "Listen up you little brat, nobody in this town tells the Red crow's what to do. So why don't you just take our orders and run along, unless you're looking for a beating."

Vergil gave them an emotionless look, his eyes becoming cold and calculating. "Seeing as you are nothing but a weakling who doesn't know how to fight I highly doubt that."

The man gained an enraged look and yelled while raising a fist. "I'll show you your place, you little brat!" He swung but Vergil, despite being smaller and weaker than before, easily caught the man's fist with one hand. Before the man could even think of what the hell just happen, Vergil swung his fist into the mage's chest, sending him flying right into a wall, knocking him out.

Reaven, along with his remaining six guild mates, and everyone else were wide eyes at the fact that a eight year old send a 30 year old man flying back like it was nothing.

"He…he took out Roman with one punch!" One of the Red Crows member exclaimed. "What the hell is this kid?" Another yelled. Reaven got up and yelled. "Who cares what he is! Just get him!"

The remaining six members jumped at Vergil, weapons out and ready while their target stood his ground still with an emotionless look in his eyes. One tried to stab him with a dagger only for Vergil to sidestep, grabbing his arm and throwing him at another member with enough force to knock both of them out. One had a battle axe and tried to slice him in half, but Vergil ducked under the axe and quickly kicked it out of his hands, sending it flying into the air before disabling him with a quick punch to the throat. Another ran up to him a broadsword covered in flames and brought it down, however Vergil sidestepped again and kicked the man right out the door, breaking it in the process. The last two tried to double team him one with a spear and the other with a halberd, but Vergil caught the axe as it was falling and with deadly skill, cut both the spear and halberd mere centimeters where their hands holding it before kicking them out the door as well as they stared at their weapons in shock.

In less than 15 seconds, a mere eight year old Vergil took down six fully armed grown men with ease. He turned to Reaven who's right hand was pointing at him in a gun shape.

"One more step and I'll kill you where you stand!" He threatened Vergil who narrowed his eyes at him. "I doubt you'll be able to hit me before I get to you."

Reaven smirked. "Well then I'll have to aim at someone slower," He now pointed his right hand at Sora who's eyes widen in horror and surprise. "I don't think she can dodge my magic bullets so unless you want her to have more holes in her than Swiss cheese, I suggest you hold up your hands in the air." Vergil did nothing for a few seconds before raising his hands up but once he did, he quickly summoned swords from out of nowhere and shot them at Reaven with lightning speed.

Reaven's eyes widen as the blades quickly crossed the distance between him and them and closed his eyes and heard several sounds of Swords impaling something. However he didn't feel any pain and slowly opened his eyes to see that the swords missed, purposely by Vergil, and simply impaled his clothes to the wall.

Vergil walked up to the man, jumped on a table to meet his eyes, and slowly said, "If you ever come into this town again or if I hear you bothering another town, I will find you and gut you like the fish you are. Am I clear?" Reaven nodded his head in pure fear, unable to look away from Vergil's piercing blue eyes before he dropped to the ground as the swords disappeared and crawled back out on all fours.

"Wait!" Reaven looked at Vergil before getting hit with all of his other guild members who were unconscious inside the tavern. "Take your trash with you." As they saw the group of men who had been terrorizing their town for months, everyone looked at Vergil as he jumped down from the table, dusting himself off

'Odd, fighting those weaklings shouldn't even tire me out the slightly bit. It must have been because of Grigori taking a portion of my power. But he did say I would regain it in time.' He was pulled out of his thoughts as a man placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Kid that was AMAZING! Are you a mage or something?" Vergil looked at the man and simple responded with "or something" the man didn't mind the strange answer as he lifted the young Sparda onto his shoulders as he raised his fist in the air." those bastards finally got what they deserved, SO LET'S PARTY.!" Everyone cheered in agreement as they began to dance around happily and Vergil, oddly enough, found himself enjoying it.

'I guess this is why Dante likes parties so much,' He thoughts with a small smile. 'perhaps I'll give this place a chance, who knows maybe it won't be so bad here.'
