Alright, this story was the reason I wanted to do types of stories like this. As you can tell from my name, I am a Devil May Cry FREAK(or bad nerd). There are a lot of things I like about the series, from its amazing combat and interesting characters. I feel a little embarrassed doing this, but better to let it out, right? ...RIGHT?
Anyway, this is just a prologue. By tomorrow I expect to get another chapter out by tomorrow, so hopefully it'll be better than what I put down here =P. This story is just another kind of universe set based off the DMC franchise. Some character traits will be a bit different, but the parts of them the fans like will still remain. Also, Dante is not the main character. Instead it will be Nero, but he will be portrayed differently than his version from DMC4, mainly him not having a demonic right arm.
Enjoy!
Devil May Cry: A Hero
Prologue
Sparda
The legend of legends. Called the most powerful being that has ever existed, according to the tales. Though not everyone knows who he is personally, his background, his power, and the effect he's had on others has left them a vague idea of who he is. Given the title of the "Legendary Dark Knight Sparda", those who did believe in him thought of him as the second Savior. Imagine to everyone's surprise in today's time, that he is actually a demon, created by the Devil himself.
Since the beginning of time, sin has made its way into the hearts and souls of mankind. Religious beliefs and leadership were all that those times wanted. But something grew tired of the constant tirade of good versus evil. That was what the Devil had thought of. He decided that humanity was too weak and simple to exist and decided to take matters into his own hands. The Devil had risen an insurrection of monsters called "demons", the pure manifestation of the darkness of Hell and those on Earth. What many don't know is that this plan was no longer being performed by his hand, for he had disappeared after some time. His son, the Prince of Darkness - Mundus - took opportunity of this and decided to take the human world for himself.
Mankind, who became aware of the demonic hostility towards them, decided to wage war to protect themselves. But right from the start it seemed inevitable that the humans would lose. Their primitive tools and weaponry were no match for the evil demons, born as warriors and killers. It seemed that their would be no chance for mankind's survival. However, an unknown factor changed the course of the war to the humans favor. And that was Sparda.
Although Sparda too was a demon, he did not agree with Mundus' idea of human genocide. He decided upon himself to protect humanity from his own kind. With his strength guiding him, and very little support from the humans, he began his own war with the demons. With the mighty power of his blade, a sword also called "Sparda", he vanquished and eliminated the entire demon army. But his greatest challenge was not the army itself.
It was Mundus, the immortal "god" who was stronger than Sparda in every way.
Sparda knew that as long as Mundus had access to a path into the human world, he would always be a threat. Sparda, with all of his power, sealed up all the remaining demons and Mundus back to the demon world. Humanity had been saved by the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda.
For Sparda, as demons cannot die of age, he had decided to live on Earth as its silent protector. 2,000 years after the war was over, he fell in love with a human woman named Eva. They lived a happy and peaceful life. They even had two twin sons named Dante and Vergil. It was a few years later that Eva was pregnant and was expecting their 3rd child. To celebrate the twins 7th birthday, Sparda and Eva gave them each a special amulet as their birthright.
But little did Sparda know, the seal over the demon world had a limit. Taking advantage of the seals weakness, Mundus broke through and returned to the human world once more. To exact his revenge on his traitor offspring, he attacked Sparda and his family. With his powers forever gone, Sparda could not fight Mundus with the same strength he used when he left his murderous race and was brutally beaten to near death. In a cruel twist of fate, Eva was giving birth to their third child, a healthy baby boy. After the child was born onto the world, she had died soon after for unknown reasons.
Sparda, having lost the love of his life and his will to live, decided to seal up Mundus with the only power he had left to stop him. Wishing his sons away so that they can take their newborn brother away from the battlefield, Sparda created another seal that sent Mundus back to the Underworld for an unknown period of time. However, using up the remainder of his power took its toll on him. Dying from his wounds and no more strength left in his body, Sparda had passed away. And so the Legendary Dark Knight died defending the human race once again. 15 years had passed since that day. It was unknown what had happened to the twins, Dante and Vergil. But for the newborn, his story and role in the events to come will be revealed. This is Nero's story…
Oh no, I've ruined the series! But in seriousness, I don't intend on making cruddy material. Reviews would be great, even if it a prologue chapter!
