Vergil nodded, and threw a salute, making Hiei perform the same salute as well. "Yes sir! Thank you, sir!" Vergil proceeded to lead the way, using the thrusters on the back of his mech to accelerate and "skim" over the surface, flying high enough above the roadways to avoid motorists, and weaving a path in between the buildings of the city.
Of all the things to be thinking of, Vergil found his mind wandering back to Shannon, though this partly caused him to get depressed over Alice and her engagement but... there were others out there.
There wasn't much time to think on that however, as Vergil's sensors suddenly picked up an incoming bogey swooping down from above him... yes, above. Vergil compensated by swinging his mech to the left and allowing the creature to zoom past at the last minute. Vergil fired a burst from the jets and brought Hiei's heel down hard upon the creature's back, sending it crashing into the park below. "We've made contact!" he exclaimed into his headset, landing on top of the creature now with all the force he could muster.
