"YOU forget about him!" Vergil snapped back at Emilena. "You honestly think he's just gonna let me walk away?" The combat was too close and far too heavy for Vergil to escape, as Varanus was between him and the buggy... then Triste struck, and Varanus screamed out in pain and anger as he briefly turned his attention to her, swiping and missing but landing a scalding blow on her tail.
Vergil struck, but Varanus blocked, though Vergil twisted his blade upward, nearly managing to land a blow on Varanus's neck. "Dammit!" He could see everyone falling back, but he wasn't capable of doing so at the moment... he was stuck.
"Ha! I'll kill you in one minute! Time it! You're already growing weaker! I can sense it!" Varanus appeared to be using pure adrenaline and his kinetic abilities to supplement his strength, despite his injuries, but Vergil by now had analyzed the way he had moved before striking, and Vergil decided on one last desperate act. He faked downward, Varanus blocking the blow. Gauging his time, Vergil did it again, once again getting blocked. But next time...
"It's OVER! I AM...!" Varanus went to swing to cut Vergil in half when the gecko seemed to make a blunder and leave himself open, but the small gecko was faster, and as Varanus lifted his blade, Vergil used his own to lop off the monitor's head, severing it at the neck and leaving a clean cut with an orange ring around it to indicate the burn.
"Oh sorry to CUT you off!" Vergil declared, grinning as the big lizard's body remained upright for a moment before falling off to the side. He'd purposely opened himself up to an attack to let Varanus think he had an advantage... but when the monitor moved to strike, Vergil struck back faster... and it was over. Glancing at the other soldiers were who still alive, he threw his blade, impaling one through the head before retrieving it with his telekinesis and charging towards the buggy. "All right! We're out of here!" he declared, but froze in his tracks as a massive force began acting on his body. "Agh!" he cried, frozen in place as he was suddenly lifted off the ground and began hovering in place. "What the hell?"
He could see the buggy was starting to levitate as well, and his gaze shot upward, to see... a massive aerial battleship blocking out the sky overhead. They were caught in some sort of force field... and there was literally nothing Vergil could do... his limbs were frozen where they had been moments before, and his legs were equally stiff, his mouth barely able to move as they all began to be pulled towards the Leviathan, which was the name of the ship on its side.
"Shit!" Tony called, equally as powerless as he was pulled through the sky towards the ship. He hadn't yet entered the buggy, so was exposed out in the open. As they drew closer to the ship, a large bay opened up to welcome them in, like a sinister mouth as on the bridge of the ship, Admiral Saul Carrack smirked. Varanus had stupidly exceeded his orders... but no harm done... Vergil was his now... and soon... his plans would be his as well. He sent a flash transmission to Kalis's flagship, informing him he had Vergil in his possession, knowing his master would be pleased to finally confront the small white gecko with the orange eyes.
The buggy, Vergil, Tony, and anyone else not in the buggy were deposited in the bay, and finally released, though the buggy was kept in the containment field, rendering its turret inoperable for the time being. Vergil assessed the situation, but was met by what looked like an entire company of soldiers, rifles all leveled at the group. There were too many to try anything... if he resisted... chances were one of them would get shot... so the gecko did the only practical thing he could think of. He raised his arms out to his side, and made no sudden moves as he lowered his head, accepting the fact they were beaten... for now.
"Oh shit..." Tony gulped, seeing a least a hundred rifles leveled in his direction. He stumbled backward, getting used to using his legs again, and meekly put his arms up as well, knowing there was no fighting their way out of this one...
A probe suddenly detached from the ceiling, and impacted with the buggy, burrowing into its side. "You have precisely 15 seconds to exit that vehicle with your hands in the air." came a voice over some speakers. "Your alternative is extermination... by cyanide gas..."
