So it Begins

[dmc89]

Let's Begin

There was a sudden flash of bright light... The Eldest Son of Sparda turned about looking. His cold cerulean eyes scanning over the scenery through his fallen silver bangs. The last thing he remembered was escaping from the maws of hell through that young boy's devil bringer followed by reclaiming his keepsake, Yamato. Now he was in this strange highly technological city. A definite change from the Gothic setting of the castle town he was just in. "Another trick?"

He could feel Dante's presence within this world, within this city... coming from that large spire within the city. "I see..." His eyes flickered over towards something that almost certainly threw him off guard. A female, but radiating from her was the power of Sparda, of father.

Edie had been patrolling the city with a squad of Utopian soldiers. Preparations were still being made for the in-coming Netherrealm invasion force but it shouldn't be long now before the city was ready to take Queen Ranko down. While walking down the street she saw a flash of light up ahead, and a strong familiar power source coming from it.

“Stay alert.”

The Utopian soldiers, a total of five, dressed in medieval style black and blue armor with swords and arrows stayed close to their leader as the Demon Assassin approached the source of the light and saw Vergil standing in front of her. Flashes of Sparda's past flooded to the surface of her mind, as right in the forefronts of it, images of Dante and next to an infant Dante was his twin brother Vergil. The flashes came to an end as her hands went over her shoulder to the holster on her back before she looked to the soldiers.

“Stand back.”

How Amusing...

Well now, this was interesting. The power of Sparda radiating from that woman... and she looked familiar, much like a feminine portrait of his father. Such a disgrace, with each step he blurred closer before there was a distance of five bodies between them. "I don't believe my father was ever a cross dresser." He looked her up and down, his voice portraying bemusement in it's usual calm manner. "Explain yourself, how do you own the power the power of Sparda."

[Ayen]

"I don't believe my father was ever a cross dresser."

Yeah, this was Dante's brother all right.

"Explain yourself, how do you own the power of Sparda."

“Your old man bled out the ass during one of his periods and mad scientists made a clone out of it.”

[dmc89]

A loud sigh escaped his lips, Vergil wasn't amused. He disappeared in a blur, appearing at the back end of her troops before disappearing again only to reappear in the same location he had been in before. A resonating Click of the Yamato returning to it's sheath filtered into the air before bright flashes of reflective sunlight soared through her troops followed by a shower of red behind her. First blood had been drawn. "I'm not amused..."

[Ayen]

Edie's hand was already wrapped firmly around the handle of the Coyote Ugly, she drew it while turning one-hundred and eighty degrees to face the Dark Slayer as he reappeared in a blue blur. As the blood of her men dyed her hair, skin and clothes a dark crimson the shotgun came to life and its roar echoed across the night's sky, the dual barrels aimed for Vergil's head.

Point Blank.

[dmc89]

"Too Easy!" His problem was solved by a trick up Which placed him well above the female demon as the buckshot spread out and hit nothing but air. Three quick slash shock waves were launched from the Dark Slayer in the form of repeated unsheathing and re-sheathing of the Yamato. To follow it up and prevent her escape a circle of summoned swords began spinning viciously around the She-Sparda, points facing her. He became a blur again landing a few feet away from her on the ground and began walking around her like a predator.

[Ayen]

A well timed backward Trickster dash allowed the Demon Assassin to get out of range of his blade and the resulting shock waves. There were still plenty of room to maneuver around them, which was both good and bad for her. Good in the sense that she could get away, but bad in the sense that the Dark Slayer could better utilize his speed. She was no stranger to the Yamato or the style he was using. If there was one good thing about being the clone of Sparda it was the experience that came with creating all these styles.

Her movements were cut short when the Summoned Swords appeared to hold her in place as he returned to the ground. Well, at least he actually remembered that move. The Demon Assassin allowed the Dark Slayer to stalk her, to feel in control as already she had charged the Coyote Ugly with her demonic energies. Her own set of Summoned Swords appearing around her and fending off his set, providing her with the opening she needed to act. But instead of releasing the Charge Shot as normal, she turned it into a Gun Stinger aimed for his throat releasing the charged shot into the concentrated burst.

[dmc89]

"Ridiculous!" He had seen that move before used from his brother on top of the Temin-Ni-Gru, it wasn't going to work on him again. He waited until the last vital moment before leaning to the side and turning his lean into a spin. He raised the sheathed Yamato at the beginning of the spin to knock away the Gunstinger attack before continuing the spin and unleashing his weapon in a mock battojutsu style draw. The blade came out quickly aimed in a horizontal slash towards her hip, the Yamato looking to cleave the woman in half.

[Ayen]

The shotgun was knocked to the side, and she moved with it. Like him her weapons weren't just tools for war, they were extensions of her own body. She moved where they moved and vice versa. Edie turned the failed Gun Stinger into Fireworks, her shotgun spinning around alongside her body, knocking the Yamato away mid-swing while blasting Vergil backwards with the dual barrels.

“You're not too old to be put over my knee...”

[dmc89]

A wall of Phantom Swords were summoned in front of him to protect himself from the shots and giving him enough time to dash backward. When her little trick was finished, and the swords were gone he stood hunched over his hand hovering over the Yamato. "Don't get so cocky." He stood straight up, adjusting his hair back into it's trademark look before... Click. There was a howling, low pitched moan as the area around her began to darken, sapphire bars of energy surrounded the female in all directions before slashes of raw power were coming towards her with a vengeance.

[Ayen]

"Don't get so cocky."

The Demon Assassin charged forward as soon as she heard the click, vanishing from her spot just as the first couple of slashes came for her, being sliced through but managing to avoid the rest of the attack. In the time it took for her to appear at Vergil's side the damage done by the slashes were gone and her Mirror Edge now replaced the Coyote Ugly, unleashing a vicious Million Stab towards the Dark Slayer the same instant she reappeared.
