You still intend to return to Hell then?

*Tenses up, but does not turn around.* ... You believe I have a choice?

There's always a choice.

I wouldn't be here if there were.

You would be back in hell, huh?

Actions have consequences, and sins have punishment. That's how the world works. How it's always worked.

That's not what you would have told me, that night on the tower.

... That night... we both took certain things for granted, back then. And we were both proven wrong. You, in your father... and I in my role.

*Turns around to face you now.* But... you've learned so much ever since that night, haven't we... Lady? You've seen the wonders of the universe, had the light of hope lit once more, your faith in all things inherent goodness restored. You love puppies and little baby lambs, and truly believe that by waving the magic wand of chance and wishing really hard, everything is going to work out just fine. That everyone get's a happy ending.

And I have learned that everything I ever did, everything I ever strove for, was for nothing. That the sacrifices I made in my quest for power didn't matter in the long run, because help was just a stones-throw and a dimensional portal away. And to think, if we had just thought of calling for help sooner... no monsters. No evil fiends hunting down families in the middle of the night. No family fathers going insane with lust for power. We would all be sade, governed by our very own league of gods in gaudy outfits protecting us from evil.

If only we could've thought of that one a little. Bit. Sooner.

Yeah, and now that we've found it out the best thing for us to do will be sit around whining about it.

Shit happens. You think I don't know that? I watched what happy ending she got. But you can't live in that tragedy forever. Unlike you, Vergil, I wasn't handed jack shit. My father left me many things, but power was definitely no one of them. So I believe that you take what you have, and you put one foot in front of the other. You don't stop walking until you get where you want to go. If you die along the way, it's better than giving up.

So if you want to roll over and die giving "fate" as your excuse, well, much as I'd like to, I can't really stop you. But it's your choice.

What an inspirational speech. It's too bad that I have already heard it all before, and from someone who was proven wrong by cold, hard facts of life. Because if I hadn' I'm sure it would warmed my shrunken, black little heart to become almost three sizes bigger in the least.

Oh? Then I'll have to prove it to you here and now.

... And how exactly would you do that?

*Toys with a kunai for a moment before holding it firmly, pointed at Vergil*

Vergil so of Sparda, I challenge you! Watch carefully and I'll show you what a foolish, powerless girl can achieve!
