8 year old Vergil cut down the final demon that had attacked him in the park, his hands shaking as he returned Yamoto, his father’s blade, into its scabbard. His young heart was beating rapidly as he tried his best to control his breathing. His mind was racing, trying to process what had just happened. He had known his father had many enemies, but the demons had really decided to attack him? They had tried to kill him? But then, young Vergil had a realization. If the demons were attacking Sparda’s family, he wasn’t the only one in danger.

“Dante… Mother!”

Vergil sprinted as fast as his tiny legs could carry him back to his home, but was horrified to find the place surrounded by more demons. Vergil needed to get inside! He needed to save his family! He killed one, and then two more, a fourth… but there were simply too many of them. The hoard pushed the young boy back, a clawed hand eventually slapping Yamoto from his hands and sending him sprawling across the grass. Squeezing his eyes tight, the young boy came to a realization. He was going to die.
