[Natural Abilities]

Inherent Omniscience

Is the capacity to know everything infinitely, or at least everything that can be known about a character including thoughts, feelings, life and the universe, etc. Another part of this is Clairvoyance the apparent ability to gain information about an object, location or physical event through means other than the known senses. Psychometry also is part of this section as well, is a form of extra-sensory perception in which a psychic is said to be able to obtain information about an individual through paranormal means by making physical contact with an object that belongs to them.

Technopathy

Ability to manipulate technology. Manifested as a special form of electrical/telekinetic manipulation, a special form of shape shifting which allows physical interaction with machines, or even a special form of ESP that allows for mental interface with computer data. Levitation is the process by which an object is suspended against gravity, in a stable position, without physical contact. Mind control is a broad range of psychological tactics able to subvert an individual's control of his own thinking, behavior, emotions, or decisions.

Demonic possession

Is often the term used to describe the control over a lifeform by Vergil himself or one of his assigned advocates. Descriptions of demonic possessions often include: erased memories or personalities, convulsions, “fits” and fainting as if one were dying. Unlike in channeling or other forms of possession, the subject has no control over the possessing entity and so it will persist until forced to leave the victim, usually through a form of exorcism.

The Old Whisperings

The whispering of voices that enter the subconscious mind of mortal and eternal beings alike. In attempt to subvert their thoughts and feelings and sometimes driving them to complete insanity, great malice or both. These voices were responsible for many tragic and horrific events that shook the world. But not all of these whispers was from that of Vergil almost all of them came directly from the old gods that lie imprisoned beneath the planet. Rumors has it that their telepathic whispers to Vergil is what drove him completely over the edge. Which resulted in his separation from Apophis, and ever since then he's been secretly communicating with them, though some say the existence of such omnipotent beings is theoretically impossible.

Abyssalentium

Metallic plates of unknown origin that exist in only five locations across universe, one of which lie within the body of Vergil, these plates are tough of enough to withstand even the mightiest of blows. Though it can be damaged by three things known to existence, high concentration of Solar energy. Another would be if it comes in direct contact with pure liquid nitrogen and the last is biological manipulation of the plates can harm them. The plates create a sort of accelerating healing for the bones that are broken or damaged by outside or natural forces, manipulating bone structure to keep the anew and solid. Abyssalentium creates a elemental resistance effect against any known elements, such as air, fire, earth and water, a type of absorption which prevents harm to the possessor of it from such known elements. Downfall to this metal is that it can self detonate if the metal is severely harmed, thus is why there is only few left. It also gives the possessor cross dimensional awareness the ability to detect actions and events in other dimensions, aside from it's three known weaknesses, Abyssalentium can only pierce Abyssalentium, making it one of the more famed of metals.

Chaotic Sorcery

Is a form of magic that revolves around the pyrokinetic ability to manipulate Demonic fire. In which differs from fire itself, Demonic fire only exist in a form of magic that has been taught or learned by Necromancers whom surpass the boundaries of their own magic. Only a few number of Necromancers were able to do this, those few lie deep within the Abyssal plane. Vergil is one of these Chaotic Sorcerers having being taught the ability to manipulate the elements of fire, this gives him access to a arsenal of new tricks. Chaotic sorcery is very dangerous and can very well can the magic user of it, if not too careful. It has brought destruction in the past, since it's very discovery, being classified as a forbidden art of magic, those being caught in act were executed.

Ouroboros

A force or entity as some would referred to it as that consumed and corrupted Vergil even further after he was freed from Apophis. It's servants being three ghostly serpentine guardians of vast and immense power, to it has enslaved or bound to it's existence for as long as they remain living. It being solely responsible for Vergil's current state and transformation, Ouroboros possessing vast amount of abilities that were given to him as the result of it being bound to him. Vergil was transformed from a superior apophian into a deity of mass destruction, his sanity broken along with it. Though in full control of Ouroboros Vergil's able to master a variety of abilities consisting of resurrection of the dead, matter transmutation, size shifting, bestowing power or immortality unto others. The ability to create totems that can draw power from the dead or living like a leech, interdimentional teleportation and the creation of artificial lifeforms. One last ability that it grants him is the ability to trap or imprison deities under his dark will, just like how the serpentine entities became servants of Ouroboros, so can others if the three were slain or died. At the current moment, Vergil no longer has the three serpentine guardians as the result of their death at the hands of countless battles. At the moment Ouroboros no longer has any guardians or deities to serve it or do it's bidding, instead Vergil corrupted the very entity that altered him into serving his own purpose instead of it's own. Thus Vergil gained full control of Ouroboros and has used it to it's full extent, becoming something far more sinister then anyone could possibly imagine.

[Weaponry]

Morning Star

A blade forged from two fragments of a legendary weapon, whom Vergil had possession of since his childhood years. He deemed it's name after his encounter with a blight of demons whom tried to devour his existence through a star shaped object. The first fragment was in the possession of Vergil's former sensai, which was kept hidden from the rest of the world. The second of the two fragments was used by a member of the Assembly Of Five, when Vergil brought about the two fragments with one another. They fused together to create a powerful weapon in the form of a blade, it remained without a name thus Vergil deemed it the Morning Star. This was his first of all weapons to be held by the apophian, unlike Vergil's other weapons, the Morning Star gives off a greenish aura that's somehow been embedded within the sword itself. It gives him somewhat a power boost in the dark arts, mostly necromancy if held while performing a spell. Legend tells of a creature so evil, even in death it haunts and plagues the souls of innocent, that it's very soul was imprisoned inside a staff. The staff was later melted and forged into a blade, which became cursed by the evil spirit and from that forth those whom harness it's power will befall into a life of murder.

Puzzle Box Of Cth'utekh

A small box that has remained a mystery to Vergil for years, the letters "Cth'Ftaghn Utekh" is carved into top of the box. His discovery of this box was accidental though the voices within it says it was destiny, these whispers seeped into his mind and furthered his insanity. The voices from the box are what he calls the whispers of the old gods that sleep beneath, Vergil often refers to as his masters. But recently, since his ascension to becoming a partial deity, and on the verge of a transformation. It's become apparent that Vergil's been hunting his former masters to devour their existence to increase his life cycle and power, with each old god he devours as well as altering his appearance. If opened, the whispers of the old gods seeped into the minds of Vergil's enemies, causing illusions and possibly insanity. The other half of opening the box releases undead spirits that attaches themselves to the life force of his enemies, draining them of nutrients as well as life force, depending on how long the battle ensues. The puzzlebox was built by a man named Herald Velaz Rasputin, who was a prophet of the old gods before his execution.

Demon Tree

Known by many as the death entity, this seed of destruction was created by an evil sorcerer so many eons ago and was so powerful it was hidden on the most dangerous of worlds. This world was home to many of these demon trees and hidden secrets, Vergil found out about this tree and explored this world in attempt to discovered it's hidden secrets but the planet itself was experiencing some sort of planetary explosion. Vergil escaped with his life and was able to bring with him several fragments from several different trees that grew on the planet, examining these seeds, he was able to duplicate one of his own with unlimited use.Though, the tree itself could get Vergil killed if he isn't too careful, it's powers are beyond that of any living being known in the universe. With such a force within grasp of evil, Vergil is able to prevent certain doom and even his own death, the tree itself possessing the unknowingly power to prevent those from using magic, spells, abilities, transformations, and anything else that within it's root range. Aside from that if abilities were to be used, a growth phenomena will occur on the lifeform and it's body will be torn inside and out until the lifeform and or target is dead or until it's either completely covered by the tree's organisms and roots.

[Vergil's Necromancy]

Phasement

This one of Vergil's most famous moves allowing him to become invisible to all those around him. While doing so Vergil creates after images of himself and spread them across the area in which he's in, making him seem undetectable for those who can see the invisible. Also Vergil is able to talk through each of his after images, creating multiple distractions and confusing his target or opponent. This gives him the advantage to either sneak attack his opponent or escape. This move has been used by Vergil twice in his life-time and on each occasion he has overcome his opponent. When Vergil was young he learned this move from his sensai who taught him this.

One Deadly Nightmare

Taping into his inner darkness, Vergil creates a void that materializes beneath his opponents feet, similar to a black hole. In turn collapses into itself dragging all except Vergil into it's endless darkness. Upon it's closure, Vergil conjures the void within his hand creating a micro dimension in circular form in which he crushes between his thumb and forefinger, ceasing it to exist no further. The origin behind this tactic is shrouded in mystery even those whom witness it were petrified, thus it's name was dubbed "One Deadly Nightmare"

Demonic Flame

Occurs when Vergil channels large sum of Chaotic magic that conjures in the palm of his hand. At this point he only has 15 seconds to release the magic from his grasp or it will encase him in a bubble and consume him. This attack can possibly be block if at a safe distance but at close range it's almost impossible to avoid, due to the fact it's a highly unstable form of magic that's being used. It's appearance is that of a nebula or black hole when it's a full capacity, Vergil has used this on numerous occasions nearly killing himself in the process. The after effect of the flame slowly increase the ambient temperature by 50 degrees in every direction. This ability was quickly learned by Vergil after obtaining his new found knowledge of chaotic sorcery.

Rings Of Rais

The ability to manifest solid circular rings at will, in different shapes or forms of energy. Usually Vergil encases his opponent in one of these rings, occasionally around the neck or waistline. Once Vergil's ring has molded with his opponent body part, it will tighten or apply pressure to the area. This will hold his opponent in place for the time being, enough for him to form a red ring in which will slice through the other as well as the target it has a grasp of. Each ring of made of a different type of energy usually the red rings are made from magic energy increasing the chances of death upon impact. Vergil uses this ability more so then any of his other abilities, it by him time and can easily take down his opponent. The rings were granted unto him by his sensai who taught him this before his death, making this Vergil's first magical ability as a teen.

Abstinence Of Power

Infused with the rapid energies of chaotic magic, Vergil alters the magical energies, to vampirically drain magical energy from any source. Allowing it to flow through the palm of his hand into his body, Vergil's chaotic magic corrupts the magical energy that is absorb and forces it into adaption with the chaotic energies. This allows him to somewhat attain the attributes of his choosing from his opponents whom are drained. This tactical technique was and added on effect after his sudden transformation due to his many years of corruption. Vergil used this to physically drain the life of Apophis sundering him back into his realm upon their recent meeting, months ago. Though it's effect only targets that of magical energy, it's known to inadvertently drain the essence of life from it's target.

[Vergil's Minions]

Unfathomables

Beings that have no describe faces, grotesque and misshapen with hardened shells and tendrils to match. The Unfathomable ones are mysterious creatures from beyond the realm of existence that served under Vergil's will. Many of them built temples in Vergil's name to further his plans for world conquest, when the last of the old gods of Mobius were devoured. The unfathomables immediately became servants of the old god Balthazar, relishing in his image as mindless slaves. They've became his most deadly allies in wars against many of his enemies, their grotesque appearance becoming a winning factor, that resulted in most of his victories. The unfathomables was the first creation of the old gods, though it they wasn't entirely created, it is said the old gods mutilated a alien race that arrived on Mobius years earlier and that they were transformed into the unfathomables.

Shadow Lords

Are a group demons created from the big bang event that started the formation of the universe. Shadow lords usually thrive in voids and the darkest parts of the universe, only a few of them live on Mobius, some occupying the temples built by the unfathomables. They're appearance that of a shadowy apparition with a reddish glow outlining the body, most shadow lords appear ghostly. But some are solid base lifeforms, most shadow lords use basic dark arts to attack, but they rarely physically attack unless nescessary. A usual physical encounter with a shadow lord often results in severe injury, most Shadow lords avoid killing their prey. Due to the fact that they much rather torture then devour and kill their targets. Vergil discovery of the shadows lords came about when he was practicing his necromancy using the book of dark arts, this resulted in him having complete control of them.

Chapter One ( From the beginning of the end, to the end of the beginning )

Born into the world with a most unnatural impurity that forced him into a life of darkness. Bastion and Succoria gave birth to the first of they're two children, his name was Telesphoros of Succoria. Also known as Vergil Balthazar, this was his other name but his true name remained Telesphoros. As a child Vergil was playful and always enjoyed the company of his parents who kept they eye on him. He was very adventurous so he often stray away from his home doing childish things, but would as be found by his parents. But deep within Vergil's body a dark fragment or shard of Apophis lied dormant inside his heart, undetected even by his own mother. Vergil would go on and live his life as a happy child, it was then a year later his brother Sizz-Lorr was born. (Go To Sizz's Profile for more information) He acted as a big brother, trying to take care of his younger newborn brother, but at the same time Vergil bullied him for the infamous marshmallow man, a toy that Vergil claimed as his.

This wasn't just a big brother, little brother thing, it soon became apparent that Vergil was changing frequently from the once loving child into something more sinister. Succoria thought nothing of it, as she loved both of her children with ever ounce of her heart, Bastion was curious though to know why Vergil's sudden change in behavior. Bastion knew something was wrong with his firstborn, this lead to a disagreement between both him and Succoria. Vergil and Sizz was forced to stay with the Joestars until his parent's resolved the issue between one another. Vergil's behavior grew wildly out of control, Bastion and Succoria came to see what had become of their child upon receiving a call from the Joestars. But upon arriving to the home of the Joestars, they were shock to find that Vergil had slaughtered both of his cousins parents, practically skinning them alive.

What was left of the Joestars were only fragments of bones and undigested meat, which is presume at some point he fed on them. Bastion and Succoria was shocked to see what they child had done to the Joestars, luckily for them Vergil had not killed his cousin nor his brother. Little did they know this was not the end of Vergil's wrath, moments later after Bastion and Succoria quickly taken both Vergil and Sizz back to their home. Upon arriving at their home, the monstrous Vergil had killed his mother Succoria and minutes later his father Bastion had become his next victim. Before Bastion's final moments the culprit behind Vergil's mysterious behavior was reveal to have been Apophis, Vergil bared the mark of the third eye.

Chapter Two ( A eternity of happiness, Imperial disaster )

After his parents had been killed due to his unquestionable amount of power given to him, Apophis lead young Telesphoros from his home. Vergil made his own exit through the ceiling of his home, his new form came equipped with a pair of wings and horns to match his new devilish appearance. Much similar to that of his mother, Vergil traveled to the edges of the world, being lead by Apophis. Vergil hunted each member of his family and murdered them for the next couple of months, until his connections with Apophis was terminated by Jinpachi. During Vergil's encounter with Jinpachi, he was able to remove the mark of apophis from Vergil, rendering him back to normal. But his newly transformed self remained the same, after this defeat Vergil's memory of his battle with grandfather was erased from his mind as well.

Vergil somehow found himself in the dunes, stranded miles from home at such a young age, the small child struggled against the harshness of the heat and humidity that plagued these lands. His body weaken from lack of food and water, it was only a matter of time before this wasteland claim another victim. Vergil's life was at it's peak, his eyes barely open a figure stood above young Vergil and gently picked him up and carried him across the dried wasteland. This was the day Vergil's life was saved by another, the small child open his eyes and gazed at his savior. His savior had been Vanagandr Fenrir, couple of days passed after being saved by this mysterious figure of a man composite of both wolf and lion like features. Vergil was later joined by Ba'al(Salamander) and Physalis(Dire Wolf) under the watchful eye of Vanagandr himself, for months Vergil was the first to become a student of Fenrir. He quickly learned his ways of martial arts and trained by his side, Fenrir and Vergil became close, having a father and son type of relationship.

Vergil nicknamed him "Old man" when Vergil discovered he was much older then he appeared to be, Ba'al another student of Fenrir was Vergil's best friend as well as the beautiful Physalis. She was the female of the group and was always picked on by both Vergil and Ba'al at times. But they always stuck together, and for the next three years Vergil, Physalis, Ba'al and Fenrir was like a big family. During the second year, Vergil's mark returned and Apophis tried taking control of Vergil but Fenrir was able to defeat his student. He would then teach Vergil how to keep Apophis at bay and stay in control at all times, he helped Vergil focus his dark energies into a kind of wall of protection from Apophis. Fenrir knew little of the god, and his intentions but it was of his best interest to keep him from controlling Vergil again.

Almost that entire year everyone help Vergil focus his energies, the third year Fenrir taught his students hokuto shinken a type of style for assassinations. Vergil stayed focus and found most interest in this style then all of the others. This was particularly his favorite and practiced each day until he would master the style of hokuto shinken. Ba'al and Physalis were right behind him just not as far along as Vergil was anyway. The third year was a tragic one for the students of Fenrir, during training a group known as the Imperial Order burned down the dojo and imprisoned Fenrir, for crimes he committed years before. Vergil, Ba'al, and Physalis watched their home burn to the ground, infuriated by the events that taken place. Vergil left his two friends behind and sought out the ones responsible for the destruction of his only home.

Chapter Three ( Out of the fire, and into the inferno )

Vergil traveled a far for seven days in search of the ones responsible for the destruction of his home and the kidnapping of his master. The young but braveful apophian journey lead him to the city Stygia where he would encounter the Imperial Order for the first time since that faithful day. Confronting them, Vergil engaged in a battle of life or death, vengeance had driven over the edge. His lust for revenge followed through veins as the battle raged on between Vergil and what would seem to be and unbeatable empire. Vergil continued to fight through each and every obstacle that these authority figures threw his way, their fierce leader infuriated by the many fail attempts to thwart the young apophian. Down from the skies soar their fierce leader, up into the air the battle continued until one's life was lost. Vergil was victorious in his battle and the remaining officers of the Imperial Order scattered. Ba'al and Physalis caught up with Vergil only minutes after his victory, though he'd gotten his revenge. Vergil was sadden by the disappearance of his sensai, unable to know of his whereabouts, Vergil could only hope that the worse had already happened. Immediately following the reunion of his friends, Vergil accepted the fact that his master was dead.

Days passed since the events at Stygia, Vergil and his two companions left the city and was drawn to the seven seals of Stygia. Hidden within it's temple outside the city, the seven seals of protection from the Djinn which threaten city. But upon it's discovery, one of pieces mysteriously shattered and Stygia was thrown into chaos. Vergil and Physalis made their way through the temple and outside fled into the outskirts of the desert land. But their efforts to escape was intervene by a group of individuals, each being of a different species, beaten and battered by these mysterious beings to the point of death. His eyes now open to view the scenery, awakened from his near death experience, his eyes gazed unto a wasteland. Young Telesphoros paralyzed from the beaten he received from earlier on, his only thoughts were of Physalis and Ba'al. He hoped for their safe return in exchange for his own life, Vergil prayed for the protection of the ones he cared for. His eyes wedged as death drew near, his heart slowly approaching it's last beat as his soul faded from his body. He'd awaken once more to find himself in another new environment, more hellish then the last, only then Vergil had known. He was no longer in the world of the living, Vergil was now trapped in the fiery pits of hell itself.

Chapter Four ( It's a long way to heaven trying to make it through hell )

The eyes of Telesphoros gazed at the inferno all around him, thousands of lives being tortured before his very eyes. Though he was a young child, Vergil read in books about this place he was in, it was ruled by the personification of evil itself. Known as the home of Lucifer, but now it's rule by even a more malevolent force, with powers ascending higher then his own. In this world of fire, amongst evil incarnate and all of it's denizens, Vergil felt vulnerable to even the slightest feeling of discomfort. Unprepared for what awaited him, Vergil strayed away from his current location and move gradually yet carefully through these fiery wastelands. His presence was as if they expected him, demons of all kinds crowded the apophian and prevented him from moving any further. A shapeless mass of darkness manifested nearly inches away from him, this was their ruler and true horror that awaited those who descend into the pits. He's referred to as the President of Hell and now it's ruler Glasya Labolas, the only demon to tangle with the Prince of darkness and walk away untouched. Vergil knew deep down a confrontation with Glasya could only mean negotiation, just as he predicted. Glasya welcomed Vergil and immediately attempted to sway him to serve under his rule.

Vergil declined, this only drove the demon into casting the apophian into the deepest of all hells pits Cocytus, the frozen lake that remained at the ninth circle of hell. What seem to him as hours was actual days that passed, searching for a way out of the frozen ice land. He had nearly given up if he'd haven't discovered another entity, chained and locked at nearly halfway into the Cocytus. It was no other then Lucifer himself, locked up like some sadistic animal ready to pounce on it's prey. The prince of darkness, angered by the betrayal of his demon brethren, he offered Vergil his freedom, if he freed him from his prison and help reclaimed his lost kingdom. Vergil hesitated to trust Lucifer, but he had no other option but to agree to a union of sorts to fight off the demon that banished him. Shattering the chains that bound him, Lucifer had now been let loose from his prison and it wasn't long before this titanic team up was thrown into battle. Lead by Adramelech, nearly hundreds of dead souls arose from the frozen tundra and attacked the duo, Lucifer fend off the souls of the damned, while Vergil went head to head with Adramelech.

Both Vergil and Lucifer overcame the dreaded horror that befallen onto them, Adramelech lied dead at the bottom of Cocytus at the hands of Vergil after being literally severed. They escaped the frozen heart of hell and fought their way through hordes of demons, now at the doorstep of a newly built citadel. The demon council(Ixion, Minos, Charon, Plato) awaited them within the confines of the citadel, each member of the council spoke of how the council planned Lucifer's downfall. Vergil interrupted the council's speech and the fight would ensue, Charon was the first to die at the hands of Lucifer. The advantaged the had over Vergil and Lucifer soon ended with victors being the apophian and prince of darkness. Each member of the council was slain by them, at the top of the citadel, was the ruler Glasya. Vergil demanded the demon surrender at once, but Glasya so full of pride refused to give up against a fallen king and a rejected apophian. Glasya struck at Lucifer with such force never seen before by neither Vergil or the Lucifer, but that did nothing. Glasya overwhelmed Lucifer and cast him down from the citadel into the fiery ground below. Vergil confronted Glasya after his supposed victory over Lucifer, the battle between the apophian and demon king, raged on for nearly hour at most. Glasya was defeated by Telesphoros, he warned Vergil of what dormant powers lied within him.

"Ouroboros" was Glasya last words, his life ended by a young child, who knew nothing of what he meant. Making his way back down to fiery ground, Vergil held the crown of fire within his grasp, he hesitated for a moment. Telesphoros placed the crown unto own head, and thus arose a new conqueror of hell, the power gained from the crown Vergil was able to tear apart the fabric of hell, creating a opening for him to escape. Lucifer thanked Vergil for his courageous acts, but he warned him next time they will be enemies instead of allies. He gave up the crown and finally escaped hell, Physalis cried her tears out with the lost of their friend. Ba'al a survivor of the Stygia invasion held a memorial service for Vergil. Physalis approached his beaten body, covered by a red cloth she'd promised to avenge and Vergil let out a gasp of air. His horns tore threw the cloth as his eyes locked onto Physalis, he grinned..

Chapter Five ( It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a god )

Vergil and his friends was reunited with his friends and for the next two years, they've lived in harmony with one another. On this day it was a very special day, Vergil's birthday had come and they celebrated with him, Physalis cared about him alot. Enough to hide her true feelings from those around her, Ba'al occasionally would tease her about having a crush on Vergil. But Vergil never understood the reason why he did, now at the age nine, over the last few years he learned to manifest his hidden powers, as well as forged his first weapon. Both him and Physalis came up with the name onslaught for his newly created gunlance, Ba'al made bullets for the weapon. Physalis was the same age as Vergil, but Ba'al was one year younger then the two, he showed discomfort in being the youngest. After the pass couple of years, it is still unknown to Vergil who attacked him and Physalis that day. His trip to hell, sure did open up a lot more questions as to what was this Ouroboros that Glasya had spoken of. Vergil learned a lot about his race but never has even heard of a Ouroboros, was it something secret, that remained hidden. He was determined to find out, Physalis accompanied him from their prime location and across Mobius to the fallen city of Ulthar, which was destroyed thousands of years ago. Each of them scattered to different parts of the city in search of clues to what Ouroboros was, or what connection it had with Vergil.

They struggled throughout the day with little evidence to know exactly what they were looking for, Vergil searched from within the Obelisk that towered above the fallen Ulthar. The information that the young apophian looked for was found and from the wall it read. "Slithering ghost from whence they came, underneath the burning ring, feathered guides a path to the first of three Ouroboros slithering curse." Vergil left the confines of the Obelisk, telling Physalis and Ba'al of the newly acquired evidence, their discussion was interrupted by a unusual color of feathers that created a path. His steps carefully examined as he followed the mysterious trail of feathers, his eyes shifting from one direction to the next. The path of feathers ended at a stone structure outside of the fallen city, small unbalanced and covered in feathers, one particular feather emitted a greenish luminescence. Curious enough, Vergil picked the glowing feather from it's place, and the apophian envisioned a serpent covered in a variety of multi-colored feathers. It's form ghost like, transparent in a way a serpent spoke in only a language familiarized by apophians. The serpent's name was Quetzalcoatl and it was part of Ouroboros, which has not yet fully evolved within Vergil's body. Q as Vergil referred to it as had now become a part of his self concious and will aide him in battle if summoned. Just before Vergil's vision returned to it's normal state, Quetzalcoatl spoke of Ouroboros being a hidden power that was slowly transforming him into something of immense power.

Once returning to his normal state, Vergil planned to seek out the other slithering ghost of Ouroboros until the mystery of what he's becoming is solved. The apophian and his fellow companions travel from the kingdom of Ulthar to the ruined city of Stygia once again, after it went under siege by the Djinn, it's inhabits have become quite hostile towards outsiders. But Vergil was welcome with open arms by a mysterious hooded being, his name was Cariden. Cariden spoke to Vergil of knowing of his kind, having his own conflict with a few of them, at a much younger age. After a few nights of staying at Cariden's, Vergil and Physalis grew to like him but Ba'al was suspicious of the mysterious owl. Ba'al uncomfortable in his new home, he left his friends to venture elsewhere, during his departure. Ba'al bumped into a unusual mirror, his reflection was not that of himself but of another that resembled him in every shape and form. The entity reached through the mirror and pulled Ba'al through, his loud cry out for help, awoke Vergil and Physalis. Vergil rushed to the aide of his friend with Physalis behind him, just when Ba'al had nearly escaped from the grasp it held on him. Vergil and Physalis both was thrown forward into the mirror, the three of them hurdle through time and space as it would seem. "They've arrive like the boss said they would" a mysterious voice being heard from a nearly unconscious Vergil. "Hey! He's almost as good looking as I am." Another voice said. "Hungry! Must feed!" Vergil opened his eyes just a tad bit. He saw five beings circled around him, one of them resembling him in a way. "Aww, look he's awake.." a golden figure uttered, but another caught his eye, one who wore a leather black jacket whom reached down and brought him up by his neck from off his feet. "Hello Vergil, I'm Requiem.."

Chapter Six ( Parallel presence within another essence, the worlds on opposite sides )

Brought up by his neck, the entity who referred to himself as Requiem seem to be the leader of this group of individuals. Thrown into another world unknown to him, the young apophian unable to sense the presence of his companions. Vergil quickly struggled against Requiem grip, kicking at him until he was dropped after Vergil had struck him along the face. Though outnumbered by the vast amounts of beings surrounding him, Vergil's automatically attacked his nearest target which turned out to be a six armed entity. Requiem and the other three entities stepped aside as if this was a direct challenge of some sort. "Hahaha, he's in trouble now .. Asmodeus is going to tear him apart." The golden being said, this Asmodeus towering over him a look of hunger in it's eyes, blood dripped from it's massive jaws. Vergil prepped himself for the fight that was soon to come, the beast swung it's claws at the apophian. But Vergil was a bit to quick for him to land even the slightest of hits, able to dodge most of it's attack. Vergil was able to defeat Asmodeus only minutes after the fight had started, Vergil had liable the beast, paralyzing him temporarily for the moment. When Vergil readied himself to face Requiem and the golden being, Requiem stepped aside as the golden being insisted on fighting Vergil. The being went by the name Exodus, he claimed that he was his brother's counterpart, though none of this mattered. Just as the fight was about to begin, Requiem called off Exodus from attacking, something somewhat bothering the Anti apophian counterpart. "The master approaches.. we must not bring harm to this one.." Requiem spoke bluntly, Vergil stood and waited for this "Master" to reveal itself. The apophian stood and waited, keeping his eyes on his surroundings to avoid any kind of surprise attack. A gasped escaped the apophians lips as he looked upon their master, whom resembled his father Bastion, could this be his counterpart. Vergil's mind filled with question as Requiem and Exodus stepped away from him further, their master descending from abstract of light hovering in the sky of this distorted world. "Hello son.. or shall I refer to you as my half son.." The being spoke calmly to the him, having a somewhat accent.

The being introduced himself as Alquiem a prophet of the holy one and father of both Exodus and Requiem, Vergil demanded of him to release him and his friends. Alquiem ignored his request, he merely laughed at him for asking of such but instead offered him a chance to find his friends and escape before, the only portal to their world closes. Alquiem had given the location of both Physalis and Ba'al but in order to get to them, he must overcome the titans to gain access to their locations. Four titans reside within their world and if Vergil is able to defeat them and gain the four keys, he'll save his friends. But he only has two days to complete the task, if not the portal will close and he'll be lock in the Antiverse forever, Vergil immediately set off to find these titans of the Antiverse. Vergil begin his journey, traveling to the city of Incendia where the earth titan Terra is present, upon his arrival the elemental guardians of earth attacked him. Vergil managed to overcome this threat and moved on to his objective. Vergil approached a platform which lead him underground, this is where he was confronted by the titan Terra, a masterpiece of destruction. "You seek to destroy the titans, to shatter the balance that binds this world on a thread." The titan said, speaking to Vergil upon his arrival below. It continued to speak of the holy one and balance of the Antiverse, if the titans are destroyed the Antiverse itself will be thrown into chaos. Refusing to back down, though it will bring apocalyptic results to another's world, Vergil challenged the titan and the battle ensued between the two. The titans massive structured proved too much for the small apophian, it's massive hands tempting to crush his small form, Vergil jumped onto the titan trying to find a weak spot. Vergil used whatever weapons, he carried on him to pierce the titan but it's skin was practically made of pure stone. But one particular weapon of his was able to pierce it's stone covered skin, Vergil jumped from off the titan and held his sword in hand. "Say hello to Aether, your beginning's end" Vergil said, waiting for the titan to strike at him once more. Terra continued his assault on Vergil as things started to become far more difficult, Terra finally grabbing hold of his Vergil. The titans grip on Vergil's body started to crush him, not knowing what else to do, Vergil threw his dagger like weapon into the eye of Terra. This caused him to release Vergil, Terra now focused on removing the tiny dagger, Vergil lunged himself onto the titans body and grabbed his weapon. Climbing onto the other side of the titans body. He blinded the titan in both eyes after piercing the other with his weapon, Terra held both it's hands over it's eyes revealing it's stone protected heart. Vergil ended the titans life with one final stab to it's heart, it caused the titan to collapse as well as the underground cavern. The apophian climbed his way out of the pit as it was now lost forever to the earth below. Though he brought down the titan of earth, Vergil knew he's time was ticking as night drew near. His next fight would be against the titan of fire Ignis, Vergil looked on into the distance, he headed south towards the fiery wastelands of Mount Xaxion.
