LOL, cliche? Like DMC isn't already ridden with cliches? It's cool, it sounds like a plausible way to bring Albel in
So far, I'm not exactly sure which side of the hellgate Vergil is batting on. He's forming evil little plans in my head, so the only thing I can say is, he's on his own side. He teams up with Dante and will probably help fight the baddies and get the mission complete, but his objective was and always will be to gain more power. Think if he goes all evil it will be near the completion of the mission.
