"Vergil? Which..." Sangloupmon asked, only to be cut off by Vergil.
"The red one. I've got the rest," he said, and his sword flew from its sheath. The missiles that had been bearing down upon him were cut to ribbons, landing all around Vergil in pieces. In the next instant, Sangloupmon burst apart into data, and Vergil vanished from view.
Sangloupmon appeared first, erupting from the Red Pteranomon's shadow and tearing its throat out with his claws. Vergil appeared a second after that on top of the lowest of the other Pteranomon, preceeded by the sound of ringing steel through the air. Much like their missiles, the armored dinosaur digimon began to fall to pieces in midair, save for the one Vergil was on top of. THAT digimon had the unfortunate fate of having Yamato embedded in its back while Vergil rode it to the ground.
Four digitama hit the ground a second later, followed by Vergil and SangLoupmon. Vergil sheathed his blade calmly and looked to his partner, nodding slightly. "That will have done it," he said. "Get out of here."
"Right," SangLoupmon said before bursting apart into data once more.

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.

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.

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

"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.

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.

The first to be dealt with would be Garudamon, whose plan was clear enough even without announcing his attack. As Garudamon plummeted towards the ground, Vergil dashed beneath him, and punched both arms upwards into his fists. He then twisted his wrists so that he could grab Garudamon by the wrists, and pulled him over his shoulders in a none-too-gentle fireman's carry. This would protect him from attacks that came from above, and as for the Buraimon...
Five translucent blue swords winked into view in a circle surrounding Vergil, and of their own volition they began to spin around him like a buzz-saw. With blades capable of slicing through demon hide, the blades cut through the Samurai birds cruelly, quickly, and with complete ease. Even before the Buraimon could fall, however, Vergil slammed Garudamon back down to the ground and into the path of the blades, leaving him to be sliced to ribbons.
He turned his attention to the rest of the digimon menacing him, and he made a point of yawning with boredom.

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.

As the wave of imminent devastation bore down upon Vergil, he simply vanished. When he reappeared a moment later, he was twenty feet to the left of where he had been standing, holding the hilt of Yamato and the sheath in his hands. "And this is the plan you come up with. Foolishness!" he taunted.
Even as he spoke, space seemed to be warping between him and his enemies. There was a brief hum accompanying the distortion, and the light and air seemed to bend in not one, but three spheres that drew themselves in a line across the digimon.
Vergil released his attack then. In one instant Yamato was in its sheath, and in the next Vergil held the blade as though he'd just made a gargantuan slice. The spheres collapsed then, the vacuum cuts ripping into all four of the digimon.
Vergil wasn't done, though. The rest of Raptor squadron, child-level digimon far too weak to be on part of the field, needed to be taught the lesson as well. All five of Vergil's blades whipped through the air, forming an arch of blades above his head with their tips aimed into the charging squadron. And Vergil wasted no time or words in sending the blades streaking forward.

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.

At the last possible second, his head whipped to gaze towards the Cockatorimon, and he hurled his body to the side. He landed in a roll and returned to his feet, sprinting towards the building where the Cockatorimon were roosting. "Run, you cowards," he called out in anger. "You have until I get up there to try and save your own lives!"
He reached the side of the building, and started to run up the side of the building, reaching a windowsil, and using it as a stepping stone to leap off of, climbing up the side of the building like some sort of spider.
But even as he was doing this, SangLoupmon appeared from beneath one of the birds with a howl of "BLACK MIND!", his talons shredding through the Cockatorimon's body as he leaped upwards. And even as his attack finished, he vanished from sight once again, leaving a digitama behind him. Vergil landed on the rooftop as the Digitama fell, and he dashed across the rooftop, his blade flashing in the light impossibly fast as he moved.
Reply
Growling, though, he grabbed a communicator and yelled into it. "Now, NOW!"
Moments later, a shadow fell over Vergil, and that entire rooftop. This was due to the fact that the sun above was well covered by what was effectively a WALL of a few dozen airborne Digimon.
They had seen what Vergil had done to their comrades. They knew he wasn't to be taken lightly, now. They ALSO knew there was another battle raging just ahead of them.
Not having the time to ponder how something like Vergil existed in this world, now, the flock of Digimon descended onto Vergil. Their numbers contained every type of Digimon he'd fought in the past few minutes, and more still. Bladed weapons and rockets, walls of fire, bursts of energy, whirlwinds, and many more attacks rained down from the heavens.
More than likely, the building that Vergil was now on top of would not live to tell the tale of what was about to occur.
And at this point, many more of those soldiers FIRING those attacks were wondering the same of their own fates.

As the attacks closed in there was another flash of demonic steel, and the next thing anyone knew there was a man-sized hole in the roof. The first though anyone watching might have had was that Vergil was staging a tactical retreat, using the building as a shield for a better position. They would only be half-right.
As the first attacks were about to impact with the roof of the building, the building itself exploded.

The building came apart as though it were held together with kindling and mud. The digimon that had been inhabiting the building, who had been hiding from the combat taking place outside, were all thrown clear of the rubble, sent flying in every direction... except straight up.
They would be hurt, dazed, confused... but they would live. Vergil was many things, people could accuse him of being cold, uncaring, amoral... But he was one of the twin sons of the Legendary Dark Knight, Sparda. The fight was there because he'd brought it there, and the inhabitants of this place had been wisely hiding to AVOID what he'd brought to them. He wasn't so far gone that he would kill an apartment building full of people for a tactical advantage that he didn't even need. His mother had taught him better than that.
And likewise... she'd taught him the value of creating a battlefield that was to his advantage. The materials that made up the building ALSO flew in every direction... except unlike the digimon, they were also sent flying straight upward. The debris field served as chaff, impeding and slowing the progress of a great deal of the attacks.
But they would also serve as airborn spring boards, easy platforms for which Vergil could reach the approaching aerial force. Vergil rose from his crouch quickly, looking straight up... and he vanished from sight once again.

Explosions began forming beneath him as the attacks met the debris field, and at this point, Vergil began to use the solid attacks as his platforms. A rocket served as his next stepping stone, and then a blade, which Vergil caught out of the air rather than leaping off of it. He swung it outwards, catching the blade in a whirlwind and allowing it to throw him. He hurtled an Aquilamon, and embedded the blade in its neck, leaping off of the dying bird even before his momentum had been shifted.
He flew into a group of Sabirdramon next, his blade flashing as he whirled in the air, cutting the digimon apart as he flew. He struck a flying plank with his feet an instant later, and propelled himself off of it in the other direction with timing that was exact down to the nanosecond. He reappeared above a Thunderbirmon, several summoned swords appearing above his head, and he landed on the bird's head with his legs around its neck. Hurling his body sideways and tightening his thighs quickly, he snapped the digimon's neck and hurled himself downwards, towards a parrotmon. As he fell, his summoned blades streaked outwards, skewering several other digimon that were too far away for him to reach just yet...

Vergil appeared directly in front of a Garudamon next, caving in the perfect's throat with a kick as the digimon's eyes widened. The attack served to give him another springboard, and Vergil backflipped into the air with Yamato in its sheath once more. More summoned swords appeared, circling around Vergil in buzzsaw formation once again. At the apex of his jump, Vergil was directly beneath a Hippogryphomon, and upside down. That changed immediately as Vergil spun HIMSELF in the air like a rotary saw blade, Yamato once again out of his sheath, and cut the the digimon apart into several pieces the width of thinly sliced deli meat.
His momentum continued as the perfect digitamaed, and he landed atop one of a group of well-armed Hawkmon. His summoned swords, buzz-sawing away, cut the group into ribbons, and the Hawkmon he'd landed on shrieked. Vergil silenced this by slapping Yamato's sheath down into the back of its skull with a crack, and he once again vanished from sight, leaving another group of digieggs falling through the air.
His summoned swords reappeared before he did, streaking out across the aerial battlefield once more, passing through more digimon as though they were made of crepe paper. At this point, much of the debris of the building had flown as high as it would, and was beginning its fall. Vergil reappeared atop a piece of sofa that had reached its peak, and was only now beginning to fall. From that vantage point, he slammed Yamato back into its sheath, and held the blade in preparation at his side. A second passed, the sofa began to fall, and Vergil released his next attack, a string of vacuum spheres through a group of Buraimon that were trying to draw a bead on him.
And even before they fell, he was gone from sight again.
