Dante returns from Hell after five years of killing legions of demons. He makes it back to the human world with a unconcious passenger on his motorcycle, During his "Crusade" in hell, he found Vergil. The Twin brother who was supposedly defeated on Mallet Island when he was under the control of Mundus, But he is barely alive and severely weakened. Not leaving him behind, Dante gently carries Vergil onto his bike and without hesitation makes his way back to the one place he calls home. . . Devil May Cry.
As Dante stopped his bike, he looked up at the dimly lit neon sign of Devil May Cry and smiled before saying to himself,
"Looks like someone's been taking care of the place while I've been away. Guess I ought to thank them for looking after it"
He quietly chuckled to himself before turning to his passenger who was barely holding on to him, Vergil moved in and out of conciousness as Dante carried him into the shop.
"Hang on Verge. . .we're almost there"
The red clad hunter whispered to his twin whose breathing was heavy and sounding as if his throat was filled with razor blades. His appearance showing his almost white skin with noticable blue veins which covered his face and body. His hair was messy and dirty along with wearing nothing but his old blue coat and trousers now worn and damaged by the amount of time he wandered hell without having a weapon or even the strength to hold his own in a fight.
"Hey can someone open this door!? I got my hands full here!" Dante called out to whoever was in the shop, He heard footsteps coming closer and backed away for them to open the door.
Trish stood before the Son of Sparda gasping in surprise and he returned his cheeky smile, A smile she hasn't seen for a very long time.
"Dante. . . You look terrible." Trish said with her hands on her hips.
"Yeah well you should see the other guy I'm carrying."
Dante responded chuckling whilst carrying Vergil into the shop and laying him on the leather couch. He turned around and smiled at Trish who closed the door and approached him before grabbing him into a tight hug.
"Don't you EVER stay away for so long again. Lady and I were so worried about you!" The She-Devil quietly said as she felt tears flowing down her cheek.
"Don't worry Trish, I've done what I needed to do. Is the spare room ok to use for him?"
Dante pointed to his unconcious brother. Trish nodded as the red devil lifted his twin up and brought him upstairs to the spare room with his companion following behind.
With the help of Trish, Dante removed Vergil's damaged clothing and managed to put on fresh boxers and a grey vest for the resting brother. An hour later Dante and Trish sat down on the couch sharing a coffee as he explained what happened when he ventured into hell.
"Five years. . . It didn't feel like that when I was in Hell." Dante said as he crossed one leg over the other trying to get comfortable.
"I must ask Dante. . . How did you find Vergil? Hell how is he even alive?"
Trish asked in a concerned manner. She was aware of Vergil's dark past and didn't want the red clad hunter to end up killing his own brother again. He looked into her eyes as he understood her worried expression.
"I met an old friend down there and let us say I decided to finish him off for good."
Flashback
Dante was bored in Hell, he slaughtered so many demons but none of them gave him a good enough challenge. After what seemed hours of walking in the bizarre landscape, a large cathedral caught his eyes. He scanned it from top to bottom before walking towards the large door.
"I knew Mundus had an ego but this is ridiculous."
Dante thought to himself as he pushed the door open. The vast hall was some sort of throne room, many Lesser demons all sat in rows bowing and worshipping the demon king Mundus. With speed and agility, Dante climbed up onto a gargoyle and watched in shock as he saw Mundus sitting on a large throne made entirely out of bones, flesh and marrow. The demon king was no longer a statue nor grotesque monstrosity, his form was humanoid but with scale like armour, his three eyes glowing a faint red as he slowly raised his hand.
"Bring forth the halfling!!"
Mundus commanded as he raised his hand which summoned two elite demons holding onto a prisoner in chains, Dante narrowed his eyes as he spotted a familar face.
"Vergil. . ." He whispered to himself as he saw his broken twin brother being dragged along and thrown into the center of the room where Mundus looked down on him.
"Still trying to resist you flithy halfling? You know you'll have to give up sooner or later."
The demon king mocked Vergil who looked up and tried to break his restraints only to be zapped by the elite guards electrical hands, the hordes of demons laughed in unison while Dante swiftly moved from gargoyle to gargoyle in order to get close enough to his twin.
"Pitiful, weak, and useless. Sparda was a fool to betray me, but his worst crime was falling in love with a human parasite who gave birth to you and that worthless twin of yours!"
Mundus raised his voice in anger as he stared down as Vergil struggled to get himself up, he felt his strength fading away as the guards pinned him down and forced him to look at the demon king.
"Don't make me laugh Mundus. . .my father defeated you without breaking a sweat. Did I hear that Dante also kicked your pathetic hide after he defeated me and let me obtain my mind back so you couldn't control me ever again? No matter how much torture you put me through I will not bow to a lesser demon such as yourself."
Vergil blew out with a grin forming on his lips as Mundus stood up from his throne and grabbed the elder twin by the throat before shouting back at him in response
"Once I've regained my strength I will go to the human world with my army and slaughter everything!! All life will cease to exist as I Mundus will destroy everything! Including that traitorus failed product Trish, But not before I force you and her to watch as I rip Dante's heart from his chest and force it down your throats. I'll even kill your precious child!"
"What are you talking about?! I have no child!" Vergil asked shouting back at the demon who simply laughed at his prisoner.
"Oh You never knew. Sarah never told you before you left Fortuna island? Pity. . . As if it matters anymore. I gave you power halfling and you failed to serve me and kill Dante. Now I will make you suffer, but I'll make sure you see your family and the world you grew up in burst into enternal flames!"
Mundus began to torture Vergil who yelled in agony whilst Dante managed to move onto a sturdy chandelier which hung above the demon king and his brother. He drew Rebellion out of its sheath and slashed at the chandelier chain which broke easily and gracefully jumped down onto the throne sitting with a cocky grin as the chandelier whacked across the back of Mundus's head who threw the ornament aside, killing several lesser demons of his own before turning around spotting the red devil.
"Quite a party you got going on here Mundus! Although there isn't food or drinks or even cute ladies for that matter so I gotta give it a simple three out of ten!" Dante spoke away smiling at the demon king while Vergil looked up to see his brother.
"Dante. . ." The elder twin whispered to himself as he watched him taunt Mundus.
The demon king scoffed and said "Dante, the infamous son of Sparda!"
"You remember me? Aw I'm touched, I hope you've got insurance on this place because I'm going to demolish the crap out of it! But not before I kick your ass again and take my brother back!"
Dante's eyes glowed red as he finished speaking which caused Mundus to fly into a rage ramming his fist into Dante only for the hunter to shift on top of his hand smiling at his opponent.
"I gotta say Mundie Your aim is off! Guess that's what happens when you look like a moldy cheese sandwich-"
"SILENCE" Mundus roared as he attacked Dante who dodged and blocked every attack that he could muster.
The elite demons soon joined the fight while Vergil looked on as he watched his brother fight them without breaking a sweat.
"Annoying as ever aren't you Dante? Yet you've come to rescue me after everything I done? Well I suppose there is only one thing to do."
"Show them what a Son of Sparda is capable of Dante!!" Vergil shouted to his brother who simply nodded and smiled back as he drew out Ebony and fired at the elite demons and slashed them with Rebellion.
"Now this is my kind of party. This one is for you dad!" Dante exclaimed in joy as he devil triggered into his true devil form, The form that resembles the legendary dark knight Sparda.
Within minutes the elite guards were vanquished which forced Mundus on the defensive. Dante smirked at the demon king and said, "Getting tired Mundus? How about you take a little nap?"
"ENOUGH OF YOUR BABBLE" Mundus roared as he summoned his own blade, a sword similar to Sparda but with a more grotesque design.
Dante chuckled at the sight of the weapon. "Trying to copy my father? I thought you were more creative!"
The hunter took a fighting stance. Charging Rebellion with demonic energy which caused the blade to turn blood red with black lightening around it. Mundus ran towards Dante who stayed put preparing to strike and quietly chanting something in demonic language which caused glowing runes to wrap around Rebellion.
Vergil noticed the runes and said to himself, "The devil's kiss. . . Only father knew that spell. I don't know how Dante learned the incantation but this is the only spell that can truely kill the demon king!"
Dante roared as he finished chanting before dashing towards Mundus and soon they collided which in turn caused a blast which knocked Vergil off his feet and breaking his chains while the hordes of demons attempted to flee only for the majority to be caught in the radius which turned them into nothing but a bloody puddle with organs and severed heads all over the place. Mundus felt not only Rebellion going through his body but his own blade as well.
"N-n-no. . . Impossible. . . How could I lose to a fithy half breed?"
The demon king spat out as he felt all of his demonic power vanish within a mere few seconds, Soon he felt an unimaginable pain and that could only be described as hellish agony.
"You lost because you underestimated me Mundus. Just like before but only this time you will cease to exist."
With the incantation complete Mundus's body began to bleed all over. Writhing in agony the demon king dropped to his knees letting out a almost deafening scream as a powerful light emitted through his eyes and mouth. Dante switched back to his normal form and ran over quickly to Vergil.
He gentley lifted his brother up and said, "It's done Vergil. . .Let's get you out of here."
His elder twin managed to look up to him and smiled weakly before whispering, "Quickly if you don't mind."
Dante chuckled at the response and snapped his fingers.
He could hear the revving of a powerful engine from a distance and Smiled widly to see his new bike burst through the largest stained glass window, The vehicle was fitted with glowing demonic/futuristic armor. It's aura radiating an extraordinary power. Dante placed Vergil on the bike, He let his twin hold onto him by gripping onto his gun holster which provided him steady support.
"Hang on tight bro! This ride is gonna be fun!"
The red devil gleefully said as he revved up taking one last look at the now dying Mundus, and smiled before he used a rocket boost to gain unbeleivable speed. Within several minutes the twin sons of Sparda were already fifty miles away from the cathedral which exploded, It's blast radiated a holy light which wiped out Mundus and the various hordes of demons in the surrounding area. Dante let out a cheer of victory as he and Vergil watched the place cease to existance.
"Now that's what I call a light show!" The hunter laughed whereas his brother simply grunted and smiled weakly.
"How are we going to leave this place Dante?" The elder twin asked before closing his eyes.
"Well this baby will get us home, When this beauty hits six hundred and sixty six miles per hour. . . You're gonna see some serious shit!"
Dante exclaimed as he sped off through the landscape, and within ten minutes he reached the maximum speed which caused the bike to glow brightly and flashing uncontrollably and finally after a big final flash the twins soon ended up back in the human world, Where Redgrave city awaits them.
End of Flashback
Back to the present time
"So yeah that's how Me and Vergil got back home, now here we are." Dante finished explaining to Trish. She was amazed by how he managed to finish off Mundus and brought back his twin brother despite all the odds that were against them.
"How did you learn that incantation Dante? I thought it could never be done. Unless someone taught you it?" The She-devil asked curiously while sipping her black coffee.
"You can thank Lucia and Matier for teaching me that one. Before I went off to defeat Argosax they gave me a small tome which held the incantation and it is also how Sparda learned it since he teamed up with Matier many centuries back."
The red devil answered her question while smiling away as he drank his coffee, his crystal blue eyes seemed as if they were glowing as he sat comfortably on the couch with Trish. The brief silence would soon be interuppted by the phone ringing. Dante got off the couch and moved to the desk and grabbed the phone to answer it.
"Devil May Cry? Well I'll be damned, Lady! It's me Dante. . .ok ok easy with the shouting. . .well excuse me princess for being trapped in Hell for five years. . .hey gimmie a break Lady. . . Uh huh. . .yup. . .no. . .maybe?"
As Dante bickered with Lady on the phone, Trish went upstairs to check on Vergil.
Trish opened the door leading to the guest room to see Vergil sleeping comfortably, She smiled as she got close to him and noticed his skin colour returning to his more natural pale slowly while the blue veins that were on his face and body began to slowly fade away. She gentley ran her hand through his messy white hair.
"You're home Vergil. . .you can take it easy."
Trish whispered to him as he slowly shifted to his right where he was smiling due to a dream that made him think about his mother Eva, his father Sparda and of course Dante despite him being annoying at times, and Sarah, a beautiful brunette who he met a year before he began to descend the dark path of obtaining power.
