[Held in Vergil's hands is a severed head, it's as simple as that, and most of the view on the screen.]

Who did this. Am I to blame some graverobber, or the administration?

[That's all he has to say, though he might be found later, digging up a grave to bury it.]

[But what if you are Dante? What then???]

For starters, who the hell are you? That seems like a good place to start if you ask me.

I'm a little busy, if you haven't noticed.

[Kind of holding a head here.]

The owner of that sword of yours.

Don't remind me about what you're busy with. Rather not remember that you're holding a severed head.

You're Dante's brother?

I am.

[He really doesn't want to think about the head any more than you, Nero. In fact, even less, considering it's sort of his mom?]

This sword meant a lot to you, didn't it?

I should return it.

[Yeah. We're going there. It'll keep your mind off the severed head at least.]

No need, I have it already. I wouldn't simply leave it behind.

No, I guess you wouldn't.

This thing is supposed to be the key to hell. You sure you don't want it? The one you might have could be a fake for all we know.

Yamato, the key to Hell? What idiot told you that?

I witnessed it for myself. Yamato was supposed to open the hell gate under Fortuna. Yamato was only meant to open the real hell gate.

[ ~~bullshit~~. Have fun with that explanation Vergil.]

Aren't you supposed to know this already?

And with my own eyes I witnessed something else entirely open the gate to Hell.

[And did it with his own hands...but...not something he should announce in case Nero doesn't know already.]

What? You didn't use Yamato to open the gate?

Wait, what did you use then?

[He frowns. So Dante went ahead and told some stranger all about what he did, then, that's great. He has half a mind to say 'why should I tell you', but that would only mean Nero would call him a liar and he would never hear the end of it. If he knows that much, the formula can't make a great difference.]

Two halves of an amulet, my blood, and finally the sword he used to seal the gate and his power, Force Edge.

That's completely different from what we used to open Hell.

Just what in the world is going on? Was what you found not the real gate to Hell? [The only legitimate thing he can think up right now.]

Of course it was. I entered it myself, and spent months there. I can assure you, it was indeed the gate to Hell.

And who is 'we'?

Who else would it be?

It was Dante.

...That's what I thought. Why should the two of you want to open Hell?

Had to put an asshole back where he belonged.

Some demons just don't belong on the human side. I couldn't have done it without Dante's help.

None of us belong on the human side. How nice of you both to send me some creature you were too weak to properly kill.

Yeah, well you're welcome.

Too bad we forgot to wrap him up in pretty blue ribbons otherwise he'd be the perfect gift for you.

I'll take it as a birthday present, how very kind.

How do you feel about birthday beats?

You can't forget those too.

I prefer to be the one doing the beating. Which is no trouble as a twin.

Might want to consider being on the side that gets beaten.

Y'know, with how big this network is I wouldn't be surprised if one or two people wouldn't mind beating you down for a birthday celebration.

I've made no enemies in this place.

[thanks to lots of effort on his part to not kill anyone or be a huge jerk...]

How could a jackass like you get away with making no enemies?

You're totally worse than Dante.

Color me surprised.
