Harry shifted uncomfortably in his chair, trying to gather some will in case they intended to kill them both, but strangely he couldn't gather that much. He wished now that they hadn't taken their weapons earlier. Harry suddenly sighed, now his memory returned to him, looking back at the beast then back at the man.
"I just figured I'd go along with the thing, see what you wanted Vergil... Of course unless you just joined the kidnapping business for fun." Harry spat at the man, a sarcastic smirk following his words before turning to Halt, noticing his worried glance. Harry thought for a moment and answered his gaze.
"This is...Vergil, he's known around the demon world for not being able to be killed and he flaunts it around, sometimes going on mass killing sprees in the human world. You may have heard of him as 'Jack the Ripper' or as that guy in Texas who killed people with a chainsaw. His father was one of the most powerful demons who ever lived, a man by the name of Sparda. Vergil will never tell you this, but he's actually half human." Harry sighed "You can just jot him down as a very 'bad man'"

-Halt nodded along, sort of grasping what Harry was telling him. He realized that it was going to be very hard to get out of here if Vergil couldn't be killed.
-"Oh, Harry. Why must everyone bring up my fun in the human world whenever they talk about me? They forget that I was also able to stabilize some of the Nevernever when one of your own wizards went insane. But sadly, people tend to focus on the bad rather than the good. You should know all about that Harry." Vergil smiled devilishly towards Harry. "Now if you don't mind me asking a question now, why exactly were you in my property? I haven't done anything.....yet." He continued to smile as he placed a sheathed katana on his desk.
-Halt suddenly stood up. "Hey that's mine!" He shouted, trying to grab it back. The beast pushed Halt back down into his chair, growling a threat in case he decided to do it again.
-"Now now, behave yourself. This katana actually belongs to me and I'm surprised you found it. I've been looking for this for years, and here I find some measly human has been flaunting it around as his own. Now, you must understand why I must take it back. Now back to my question, what are you doing here?" he spoke with a calm and collected tone, but with a hint of annoyance in it.

Harry stayed seated, contemplating his options, seeing few and unfavorable outcomes for many of those, he answered.
"Like they say, do one thing good, everyone forgets, do a million bad..." he trailed off purposely to counter the remark before moving on.
"Well we just thought we would visit Vergil, maybe borrow a cup of sugar...and maybe some demon's blood." Harry smirked before feeling a jab from the beast behind him and he sighed.
"Look Vergil, we didn't know it was your property... I'm on the case of a demon attack and my trail lead me to your place, now that either means whoever it is hid under your nose while you slacked off here..." Harry received another jab from the beast before continuing. "Or you got hungry and decided to go look for a midnight snack... which is it.?" Harry gave Halt a gaze that said not now about the katana... figuring it is better to avoid trouble for the moment.

-Vergil unsheathed the blade, it's tone ringing across the empty room. He ran his fingers along the blade, a little trickle of blood dripping down, but when he removed his finger from the sharp edge there wasn't even a mark on his skin. "Oh, so you've found out what my little rabid dogs have done, have you? Well, I'm sorry to take the fun away from you, but I've already handled them. Once a dog gets rabies, there's only one thing to do." Vergil glared at Halt and he could feel the cold spread through his body. "And that's to put it down." Vergil finished, still glaring at Halt, the chill in his voice seeming to take physical form.
-Halt sat frozen to the spot, not sure what just happened. He broke the gaze between himself and Vergil and gathered himself up again. "One of my best friends died because of your so called 'dogs'," Halt spat at Vergil. "I won't allow you to run free simply because you killed your own pets!" Halt shouted, getting up and turning quickly. He slammed his fist into the huge beast that was behind them and sent it flying. It slammed into a wall that was a lot farther away than Halt thought, and it dropped to the floor. Suddenly Halt dashed with inhuman speed and grabbed the katana and sheath from Vergil before he knew what was going on. Taking a calming breath Halt slammed the blade down in a wide arc and sent a massive air slash that ripped the beast in half, it's blood shooting every, all the tendons and muscles audibly ripping by the sheer force of the attack.

Harry felt the moment Halt sprang into action, twisting his body out of the chair away from Vergil as he darted for the door, under his breath all the while cursing Halt for his rash actions.
"Damn it! You could've waited for a signal!" Harry managed as he ran for the door with his friend, turning to the door and waving the edge of his staff behind them and shouting
"Forzare!!" He shouted, slamming Vergil away from the two with a wall of force as they attempted their escape.

-The blast of force sent Vergil and the desk flying back towards the infinitely spanning room. He kept flying back, not hitting any sort of wall. Finally he grew tired, flipped in midair and landed on his feet. "Well, that was surprising." He said, straightening up and brushing himself off.
-The two companions bolted out the door only to run straight into the streets of Chicago traffic. Loud honking and lights flashing greeted them as they landed in the middle of a major intersection. Halt glanced around quickly and took off, grabbing Harry and pulling him off the road. Halt flipped his hood up, completely covering his face, and looked around for a sign of where they were. "Okay, I think we're on 12th street. That's just a couple of blocks from where the old building was. Come on, I know a shortcut." Halt said, gesturing and taking off down an alleyway.

Harry took off after the man in front of him, keeping his staff at his side as he ran yelling whenever he could catch his breath.
"Oh that was a brilliant plan, did you think on that one really long? Because I could feel the wisdom in it as we fled for our lives!" Harry's voice was peaked in annoyance but still that sarcasm of his, as the two made their way down the ally, checking behind them to see if they are followed.

As the two ran they failed to notice the young man walk from a side passage of the ally as they slammed into him, causing all three to fall over, "Oh my! Terribly sorry, I wasn't paying attention to what was going on. I hope you can forgive me." The man stood up and dusted himself off. He stood at around six foot and was wearing a hood to conceal his hair. He wore a red coat that went down to his waist and long dark red pants. On his hands were two leather gauntlets that seemed to glow white and red. His face also had strange markings that glowed a light blue color, "My name is Mason, and your's?"

-"Hey, sorry we bumped into you there man. We're on our way to get our car back, and possibly something else. Wait..." Halt said, looking closer at the lines on his face. "You're a Will user...." He said finally, looking shocked. Halt had heard of his kind before. Those that use a different form of magic known as Will to their advantage. He thought that they were just legends, fairy tales you tell to children to convey the wonders of magic. But here this man was, living proof that Will users exist. "How the hell did you wind up in Chicago?" Was the dominant thought in his mind that got through.

"I was teleported to this world by this." Mason held up a large book that he had been keeping in his pack, "It taught me a very powerful spell and fused the four gauntlets I had into just these two. But something went wrong when I tried to learn another spell. It sent me here where I've been for the past few years." Mason told the whole story smiling.

Harry looked the man over for a moment...he could tell that this man indeed did have magic powers, much different then his own, yet similar in a way. The markings on his face seemed a dead giveaway of his magic or perhaps it was his clothing...Harry wasn't sure.
"Yes well...you certainly seem like a...bright young lad, but if you will excuse us we are in the middle of something." Harry attempted to shrug the man off, not wishing to involve others unless necessary.

"Why are you two in such a rush? Is there anything I can do to help?" Mason took a more serious tone as he spoke, yet still had a cheerful aura.

-"You may have been able to handle the bandits of your world, but here there be monsters." Halt said with a grin. "But if you really wanna tag along, follow me." He said and took off down the alleyway, towards the old building and the Blue Beetle.

Harry sighed again, as he took off after Halt
"So are we just picking up every would be hero on the street? Maybe we should go to comic-con too and find us some more 'heros'." Harry remarked as they went

"Maybe one of those heroes can help me get back home! Where is this 'comic-on' place?" Mason said happily as he ran with the group.
