To say that it was an army was both an exaggeration, and an understatement

[opposingsoul]

A few minutes earlier, Vergil Sparda had been walking past the inns, towards the Magical Tea House. Xellos had actually contacted HIM, with a promise of information, on the condition of meeting in person. He had been suspicious that it was a trap, but there was nothing in this world that he couldn't handle

[dive_npc]

The battalion continued to march forward, seemingly unconcerned with the lone tamer and digimon walking down the street in front of them. Even with the inns behind Vergil, much of the advancing forces' attention focused on him.

A slight commotion filled the front line squad, and after a few moments, a Peckmon swept out of formation and sprinted at double-time down the street towards him. "By the authority of Tetha's military, you are ordered to lay down on the ground and surrender!" it ordered as it reached him, snapping to attention in front of him and staring down at him.

Vergil didn't even miss a step on his way. "I recognise no authority in any world, let alone this travesty," Vergil announced. "You and your army will step aside, or I will sweep you aside. Do not make me say it again."

"I'm not in the habit of repeating myself to fools!" The Peckmon announced. "KUNAI WING!"

It snapped its wing forward, sending several razor-sharp Kunai flying towards Vergil.

Vergil's hands shot up in a blur. He caught each and every one of the kunai between his fingers, and with a cold glower, he flicked his hands out and sent them each right back into the Peckmon, faster than they'd flown before.

The Peckmon gave a brief scream, before it was cut off as it was reverted to a digiegg. Vergil was unmoved, and he took another step forward. "I'm not in the habit of repeating myself to corpses," he called out, loud enough for most of the Battalion to hear him. "But for the benefit of the living, I will say again. Step aside, let me pass, or I will destroy you. I will not say this again."

With his foot, Vergil pushed the Peckmon egg out of the center of the road, and he lowered his hand to the hilt of Yamato at his side.

When Vergil stepped forward, the entire advancing force paused. At once, there rose a din of shouts as orders began flying through the battalion.

"Don't be stupid! Hold your ground!"

"Fire team one, weapons hot! Advance and eliminate that tamer!"

"Firebird Squad has him! Ignore him, the target is the building behind him!"

The shouts continued, and a team of four Pteranomon broke off from the battalion. The rest of the force moved to continue forward, all but ignoring Vergil except to give him a little space. The Pteranomons' missile attacks would leave a bit of splash damage across the road, after all.

The head of the fireteam was a red tinted Pteranomon, and he sneered down at Vergil from the head of his team in the air. "Right, mop him up and let's get on with this," he said. "SIDEWINDERS! FIRE!"

Each of the armored Digimon launched two missiles from beneath their wings and pulled up and away, leaving Vergil to his fate.

As it turned out, they should have confirmed their shots

Re: [Vergil's Fight]

When the fire team fell, the rest of the battalion actually halted their advance. "Firebird Squad" apparently needed no urging to break from the lines to charge Vergil, intent upon revenge for their fallen comrades. Behind them, the rest of the force realigned to fill the gap that their absence left.

From somewhere in the back, a Silphymon was yelling orders. "Raptor Squad, back up Firebird and take him down! Everyone else, sweep left to fill the holes and watch your flanks! His partner's out there somewhere! We will not let some upstarts distract us from our mission!"

Somewhere along the lines of three-dozen digimon were rushing straight towards Vergil, and the rest of the army was moving to reform their front line. For a brief moment, at the very least, their advance was paused.

Re: [Vergil's Fight]

"Fools," Vergil muttered. "I warned you. This is on your heads."

The soldiers were rushing him with their weapons spraying bullets, and Vergil didn't even flinch. The instant the first trigger clicked, Vergil had drawn his sword and begun whirling it like a tornado before him. The bullets flew into the cyclonic whirling of the blade with metallic clinks, and never reached their target. Instead, after only a few seconds of fire, Vergil ceased spinning his blade with one dramatic slice. The bullets that had been meant to kill him were loosed back upon those that had fired them, felling much of Firebird squadron without anything more dramatic than several simultaneous grunts and screams of pain.

He had yet to even move from his spot, and all that remained of Hellfire Squadron was its Garudamon lieutenant, and an Aquilamon. Vergil narrowed his eyes, and beckoned for them expectantly.

Re: [Vergil's Fight]

[dive_npc]

Aquilamon cowered back from what he'd just beheld, his wing sporting an injury from a bullet's graze. Garudamon, however, was no so easily swayed. "Death is too good for you, TAMER!" he spat in disgust. "SHADOW WING!"

A great bird of fire erupted from Garudamon's wings, and with a sound like a shrieking cry it was launched toward Vergil.

Re: [Vergil's Fight]

[opposingsoul]

Vergil was sliding his blade back into its sheath as though nothing stood before him when Garudamon launched his attack. He'd seen this attack before, and even against the team, it had been little more than an irritant. As the firebird closed on him, Yamato flashed as it was drawn from its sheath and cleaved the attack in twain.

"It always has been," Vergil observed coldly, sliding Yamato into its sheath again. "That's why nobody has killed me yet. You won't be the one to change that."

Garudamon growled at him, and from behind Garudamon came the Raptor Squadron, intent upon wiping Vergil off of the face of Tetha. Their presence just made Vergil scoff in irritation.

Re: [Vergil's Fight]

[dive_npc]

"... You're not real," growled Garudamon. "I'LL SEND YOU TO OBLIVION!"

The great eagle screamed and flew down at the ground... not aimed at Vergil, but the ground around him. "BOULDER BREAKER!" the eagle screamed, as his glowing fists slammed into the ground, causing a tremor.

Once Vergil was, hopefully, disoriented by the rumbling ground, four Buraimon of Raptor Squadron arced down, all of them hoping to slash the Tamer with their katanas.

Re: [Vergil's Fight]

[opposingsoul]

Vergil saw no further need to speak with anyone of this force. They were so cocksure, so confident in their strength and authority, that they were certain he would fall. There was no reasoning with them, not that he ever bothered to reason with his foes anyway. No, once again he would simply prove them wrong by eliminating them

Re: [Vergil's Fight]

[dive_npc]

Garudamon was, indeed, sliced to ribbons, exploding into data and reforming into a Digi-Egg before he even had the opportunity to scream. The remaining members of the squadron - a Yatagaramon, HippoGryphomon, and two Thunderbirmon - balked in shock for a moment. But... it was a mere moment. Losing pretenses of any sort of strategy, the four Digimon rushed headlong for the Tamer.

Twin cries of, "THUNDER STORM!" sent spiraling funnels of intense wind towards Vergil, lightning racing through them.

It was joined by two other shouts:

"SONIC VOICE!" gave way to a supersonic blast from HippoGryphomon.

And "MIKAFUTSU NO KAMI!" indicated a powerful golden blast of energy from the Yatagaramon's claws.

At once, all four attacks converged towards the son of Sparda.

Re: [Vergil's Fight]

[opposingsoul]

"You watch your companions throw their attacks at me with formation and strategy, only to be cut down..." Vergil observed, closing his eyes in the face of the incoming attacks, the translucent summoned blades still spinning around him

Re: [Vergil's Fight]

[dive_npc]

While the Digi-Eggs of their higher leveled comrades fell to the street, the Child Digimon raced forward... only to meet a quick, bitter end at the hands of Vergil's flying blades.

Roosting high above a nearby building, though, was yet another, in this case SMALLER, squadron - this one consisting entirely of Cockatorimon. They had one, expressed purpose...

Which was displayed as each one unleashed blasts from their eyes down at the half-demon; beams that would upon impact, turn their petrify their opponents, transforming them into helpless stone.

Re: [Vergil's Fight]

[opposingsoul]

Vergil almost didn't notice the petrifying gazes until it was too late. Almost
