Disclaimer: I don't own anything relating to or about Devil May Cry. The actual series belongs to Capcom. However, all elements of this fic are mine. Therefore, I own 'DMC 5: The Son of Sparda' and 'DMC 5: Return of the Dark Slayer.'
Welcome to the sequel of DMC 5: The Son of Sparda. If you haven't read the fore mentioned story it would be wise to do so or you may get lost. Those who have read Son of Sparda welcome back its time to start anew.
Enough blather, this is the prologue followed by the immediate post of the 1st chapter. (Sorry, I don't really like making them one chapter). So enjoy.
Prologue
Long ago, in a time when Sparda still served Mundus a war was waging for dominion over hell. The deemed prince of darkness was quickly rising up the ranks to establish his place at the underworld's throne leaving only one opposition in his way. The then king of hell Astaroth, however, was not so willing to relinquish his power. But in the end, Mundus reigned supreme and declared himself, 'the undisputed emperor of hell.' Though, Astaroth wasn't destroyed.
The loyalist of his servants managed to claim his essence and seal his power away so that he may regain his strength. However, with the splitting of the demonic and human realms the fallen king was imprisoned in purgatory between both worlds. With the recent disturbance of Hsaudo Rin's Hell Gate this inter-dimensional loop has been broken giving the king a slim chance to return in a world without Mundus. And his servants are now in deep preparation to bring their king back to the living. Unbeknownst to the sons of Sparda their actions on Hsaudo Rin have led to this transaction and now they must deal with the consequence.
Six months has passed since the dark slayer was resurrected by the son of Mundus, Mordus, and alongside Dante and Nero defeated the devil lord Aeolus. Regaining possession of Yamato from his now known half-brother Nero, Vergil's quest for power now continues. But he no longer seeks to claim the power belonging to his father. Realizing his brother Dante has accomplished a power far beyond Sparda's own the eldest brother seeks to establish a power even greater through his own will and dedication.
After returning to the love of his life, Nero was engaged to Kyrie but soon left to invite a special guest to his wedding, his mother. Knowing the devils Trinity and Leviathan hold information about his past and suspecting Trinity is his mother, the full-fledge devil acts on his human impulses to find the truth.
Even more, the legendary devil hunter Dante has made new revelations about his family. With assistance from Lady and Trish will he be able to find what he's looking for beside his brothers? Or will the Sparda legacy fall against this new evil that threatens to engulf the world…?
Vergil and Nero kind of went back and forth sharing the last story. Now they have to share it with Dante. I hope they can get along…and I hope you read chapter 1 and review.
Exceptionally Long A/N: (Ignore if you want)
This time around the story will be split into two sections, reflecting the present and past respectively. Instead of writing a prequel and sequel separately and to insure consistent updates, this will guarantee that my DMC5 Series is a trilogy.
Present times will be regarded as Destiny and Past events will be called Origins, though I may just say, "two millennia ago." They will both share the same chapter title and themes so there will be no confusion.
Destiny will feature: Vergil, Nero & Dante's story. While Origins will feature: Sparda, Trinity & Leviathan and Mundus & Aeolus' story. (Yes they're back, but since it's the past I guess they never left.)
Anyways, chapter 1 is up so you can for yourself if the concepts work.
