Hello everybody. It's me again; anyway I have looked over this crossover section and there are some good writers here who have written DMC x JL stories, but they are always about Dante. Now as much as I and you all love this guy, he will not be the main character in this story, nor will he be included (unless otherwise written). Instead his older brother will be the main focus and his quest for power continues. Vergil will be portrayed in his classic setting with Daniel Southworth reprising as the imaginative voice inside your head, but will include abilities from the new game but will still be the same cold-blooded badass we all know and love. There will be no romantic pairings for him, it is a trivial human thing he could do without. Enjoy!
Son of Sparda
After regaining his lost life of being Mundus' slave and a long, tiring journey across the world, one man exits the vessel of water and arrives on the fabled, yet realistic Paradise Island, known as Themyscira. Home to the Amazons and its champion and ambassador, Princess Diana otherwise known to the Earth as Wonder Woman, all of this was trivial to this individual's goal due to the fact that said hero was off-world in the Justice Leagues headquarters, the Watchtower. Why did he venture to the one area of the world, inhabited by women of Ancient Greece?
Millennia ago, before the Queen severed her people from Man's World and withdrew her faith in members of the opposite sex; there had been a war of supernatural occurrences. The Gods of Olympus had withheld their support from humanity as they waged war with the invaders from the Demon World and its master, Mundus. In her prime, Queen Hippolyta led her sisters to battle against the demonic forces. As their numbers dwindled, all had seemed lost until one Dark Knight from the Demon World rose against the Demon King, and turned the tide for the better. She had heard of this devil that she thought to be a myth: repelling Mundus's forces, an ally and member of the Vie-de-Marli, and soon to be feudal lord in the town of Fortuna. The Legendary Dark Knight assisted the Amazons and drove away Mundus from Mother Gaia and though he was a devil, he had been one of the greatest people she had ever known. Hippolyta had been saddened later on to hear about his death and though (initially) her and her sisters would separate themselves from Man's World, she would never forget her greatest friend, the Dark Knight Sparda.
Before his passing, Sparda had told stories to his sons of his time at war, most specifically with the Amazons. He let slip of a power that he bequeathed to the Queen, a power that has safeguarded the Amazons from demons to this day. His only goal would be to obtain this new power and no one would get in his way. After continuous evasion from the warrior women, he made his way to the divine library, to decipher the ancient demonic scripts which would decipher the power source location. Once day had turned into night, he made his way to the Queens palace. He was about to enter into the treasure room when the Amazons, led by its most formidable warrior, Artemis, arrived.
Artemis (smirk on her face): "So, the intruder finally reveals himself. I'm impressed that you were able to keep yourself hidden this long and void our defenses. But it is your male foolishness to believe you could outrun an Amazon!" The other amazons surround the male intruder.
Vergil (detached): "If you and your sisters know what is best, leave me."
Artemis: "How dare you! You sneak into our home and completely disregard us? Sisters, prepare to take this man prisoner!"
Vergil (slowly places his left hand on his scabbard): "I'm only going to tell you this once more: leave me. I won't tell you a third time."
Artemis: "Amazons, take down the intruder!"
Queen Hippolyta awakens from her slumber from the sounds of clashing metal. Normally she would assume that her people are training but a feeling of discontent flows inside her. She calls for one of the guards and once she realizes that moments later no one arrives, she makes her way to the main chamber. Once she arrives, she is horrified of the sight in front of her. The amazons defeated in battle with slash marks all over her disciples' bodies. Thank Zeus they are still alive, but everyone injured is in critical condition. She makes her way to Artemis and takes her sword as she hears the assailant make his way out of the treasury. The assailant dressed in a blue overcoat with snake like design, brown fingerless gloves and a face of cold expression as his white, swept-back hair.
Vergil (glances at Hippolyta): "You've seen what I have done to these pathetic excuses for warriors. If you don't wish to follow their example, put down the sword."
Hippolyta: "We Amazons do not back down from any battle, especially against the personification of evil in men."
Vergil (chuckles): "The Amazons, a pathetic, outdated race of warriors. Warriors who prepare themselves for battle, yet choose remain attached to the old ways. You send your daughter as the champion of your people and yet, you have not progressed with the outside world. My father once spoke of how powerful you were; I am not impressed."
Hippolyta (angered): "You dare mock us?!" The queen observes the object in the males hand and is shocked and begins to plead "Return the Tartarus Key back to its seal. If you don't, this island will be attacked by demons.
Vergil: "What happens to this island is of no concern to me. Having this key will lead to the greater power that I seek. Tend to your wounded and notify your daughter not to pursue me. She will not survive."
As he utilizes his father's keepsake, Yamato, Vergil steps inside the portal into the Demon Realm. As Hippolyta gathers herself, she recaps what the assailant told her and by looking into his face, she sees a look that was similar to someone she hasn't seen for over two millennia. The groan of her amazons snaps the queen out of her daze and begins to take them to healing chambers. Artemis begins to apologize for her failure, but she also realizes that the male had held back in their battle. Hippolyta sends a prayer to the King of the Gods to warn her daughter of this new enemy.
The next day
Princess Diana of Themyscira, aka Diana Prince, aka member of the World's Greatest Heroes: Wonder Woman, returns to her room inside the Watchtower after a long mission with her allies and closest friends, Batman and Superman and lunch with the Flash & Shayera Hal. Before she could gain a moments rest, she senses a presence within the room, a presence that makes itself known.
Hermes: "Ah, Diana. We really should stop meeting like this."
Diana (bowing in respect): "Lord Hermes! How may I serve the Gods this time?"
Hermes: "Straight and to the point, even though it looks like your about to keel over at any moment. Anyway, here it is." He hands over a scroll.
Diana: "Let me guess, another invitation from Podenemus?"
Hermes: "Actually no, this is from your mother."
Diana: "From mother? Has something happened in Themyscira?" Diana reads the content from the scroll, detailing an attack on the Amazons and a stolen item from the treasury.
Hermes: "Once Zeus was notified, he authorized you to find the silver-haired swordsman and retrieve the Tartarus Key and it is imperative that you accomplish the latter goal as soon as possible."
Before she could ask what the Tartarus Key was, the Messenger of the Gods had disappeared. Diana had then regrouped with the rest of the original seven members of the Justice League and told them of her newest mission. As backup was deemed necessary in dealing with this new opponent, Wonder Woman, Superman, Martian Manhunter, Etrigan, Zatanna and Shayera rendezvous to Paradise Island to get some answers. Once the group arrives at their destination, Diana is relieved to see her sisters alive and well and makes her way to her mother.
Hippolyta: "My sun and stars; thank the Gods you are here."
Diana: "I'm just glad you are unharmed, mother."
Superman: "Your Majesty, do you mind filling us in on what happened?"
Hippolyta: "The assailant found his way to Themyscira by warding off our defenses. He arrived by day and made his move during the night. Artemis led her squad to the treasury and was defeated by this man."
J'onn: "Your scroll detailed only one stolen item, the Tartarus Key."
Diana: "What is the significance of this key? Is this weapon designed for Hades?"
Hippolyta: "No, an evil even worse than Hades; one that the Gods of Olympus fear." The revelation that the Greek Gods fear the nature of this key shakes the League members to the core. After a while of silence, Hippolyta speaks once more as she makes her way to the mirror. "Members of the Justice League, tell me: have you ever heard of the Legendary Dark Knight, Sparda?"
The magical members of the League gasp at the name, while the aliens look on in confusion. The name is familiar because of stories told by her father and lost opportunity to work along the Demon. Hippolyta would explain the legend to the rest of them: how Sparda would wake up to justice and turn on his kind and drove them out of the Human World, how he worked along the Amazons defeating the last of Mundus' existing forces and many of his other accomplishments. The Queen of the Amazons had ended her story with how the assailant had looked just like Sparda in his prime before his death. Etrigan would soon finish the story of how Sparda would marry a human named Eva and before he died, a rumor went around saying he bore twin sons. The Queen's facial expression came to a realization that one of her friend's sons had been their attacker, but why would he do this? Had he not inherited Sparda's noble side?
Elsewhere
The eldest Son of Sparda makes his exit from the Demon World and continues on to the next phase of his quest for more power. The Tartarus Key had been one of three demonic items that would unleash a powerful demon upon the Earth; a demon that whose power was so vast, Mundus had opted to utilize it as a last resort. He was unable to due to Sparda's quick-thinking. Vergil's next destination would be the Tower of Fate, but due to the magic surrounding it and prevention of intruders, the Dark Slayer would need to wait for Fate to make an appearance. Fortunately, this warrior was a master of deception. Knowing that with the Tartarus Key stolen demons would invade the most popular cities of the Earth. He only need for the League would send all their operatives to ward off the attack. He only needed the special key on Kent Nelsons' person to enter the Tower. At the same time, he speculated that the Ambassador of Themyscira would want revenge for the shame he brought to her sisters. He welcomed the challenge: A Son of Sparda in battle against the Amazon Princess. Hopefully she would provide a better challenge than the scum that call themselves humanity's protectors.
How do you think I did? Should I continue? Read and Review because I love to hear your opinion! :-)
