Devil May Cry, Traitor's Bloodline.
Chapter one: Hell's Strongest Knight.
Five thousand years ago. The overlord Mundus sought to conquer the entire demon world, at his side was his most trusted and powerful knight. His name was Sparda. This is the story of his bloodline and how they must bear the burden of his choices. But before that, we must look far into his past.
In the demon world, there stood a large black castle with several statues of twisted angels, in it, two figures spoke, The first was a white haired man that wore a red trimmed purple coat and a monocle and the second one was a purpled haired man with red eyes that wore a tuxedo like outfit and a long cape.
"Overlord Zenon's forces will be arriving tomorrow." The purple haired man spoke to his best friend, awaiting his opinion on the news. "What do you plan to do, Sparda?"
"We'll conquer important locations and weaken her forces…" Sparda replied with his strategy, confident in its success. "Then, I'll defeat her myself and assimilate her and her army into our forces." He looked at the purple haired man after voicing out his plan. "This is the perfect opportunity to strengthen our forces, don't you think, Krichevskoy?"
"It's an ambitious plan." Krichevskoy chuckled, amused at Sparda's strategy. "That's how you've been fighting so far." He said, he was quite pleased with the plan. "By defeating and taking control rather than destroying."
"Lord Mundus wanted to form an empire so that he can unify the Netherworld." Sparda said as he remembered his lord's wishes. "I am simply expanding his empire by absorbing enemy forces and overlords that surrender." He was determined to fight.
"It's much wiser than Bolverk's approach." Krichevskoy grimaced at the thought of his fellow Devil Knight's methods, he found them far too brutal for his tastes. "He just executes all of the enemy overlords and soldiers." He sighed as he remembered the brutal sieges.
"Uniting the netherworld is impossible if we wipe out all the other factions." Sparda sighed, remembering Bolverk's cruel massacres of even civilians. "Reasonable overlords can be persuaded to our cause…"
"But there are overlords out there that are prideful and bloodthirsty." Krichevskoy pointed out, he has experienced and seen the vast cruelty of the Netherworld's nobility. "What do you plan on doing to them?"
"I will defeat them in single combat." Sparda gave Krichevskoy a determined look, he had the resolve to take on the entire Netherworld for his ideals. " And I will liberate their nations from them."
"That noble spirit of yours is rare amongst us demons." Krichevskoy smiled, he admired Sparda's determination and courage to fight for a better Netherworld. "Are you sure an ideal like yours will come true?"
"I believe so…" Sparda said, envisioning the Netherworld that his lord had promised, a place where demons were united . "I believe in the day when the Netherworld becomes Lord Mundus's empire."
"That's the dream we've been fighting for." Krichevskoy smiled, he too wanted that world more than anything else, he wanted to keep fighting for that noble cause.
The next morning, Sparda, who was wielding a silver broadsword with a skull on its pommel and Krichevskoy, who was wielding a red-bladed longsword, were at the frontlines of the battlefield, fighting against Overlord Zenon's forces. They had already conquered many of her strategically important areas.
"We have to draw out Overlord Zenon." Sparda said as he cut through several demon soldiers with his sword, waiting for the rival Overlord to make her appearance. "I might have to use the Force Edge's true form..."
"How do you plan to do that?" Krichevskoy shot out a bolt of lightning out of his sword and shocked several demon soldiers, he fought off the rest of the army to give Sparda the opportunity to challenge their leader.
"Who dares to challenge me?" A blonde woman with dark red eyes shot a sphere of dark energy at them, she was not happy to see that her forces were pushed back so far.
"Looks like the direct approach worked." Sparda smiled. "Overlord Zenon!" He approached Zenon with the Force Edge in hand, preparing for the duel he had been waiting for since their battle had started. "I challenge you for control of your forces."
"I accept your challenge!" Zenon pointed one of her two swords at Sparda, getting ready to fight him. "But if you lose." She took a good look at his physical features, she liked wat she saw and decided to make him submit to her. "You will be my slave!"
"Very well." Sparda charged at Zenon with the Fore Edge in hand, he then transformed it into a large curved blade with organic looking black and copper steel adorned with red crystals, the sword was enshrouded in a red flame. "I'll use the sword that bears my name."
"I will show you the power of a true overlord!" Zenon said in an arrogant tone, she then charged her twin swords and shot at Sparda with bolts of dark energy right at Sparda.
"Come out…Yamato!" Sparda stabbed his self named sword into the ground and he called out and white hilted O-Katana materialized in his hand and performed "Judgment Cut" cutting a rift in the dimensional fabric swallowing Zenon's dark bolts into it.
"What?!" Zenon was shocked at Yamato's sudden appearance, she had not predicted Sparda's sudden weapon switch. "You had another sword?"
"Don't get distracted." Sparda said as the rift Yamato had created reopened behind Zenon and shot her dark bolts back at her.
"Why you!" Zenon was enraged, she then reabsorbed her dark bolts with her swords and shot them at Sparda.
"Come out…Rebellion!" A black hilted Zweihander with a bone motif materialized in his other hand and performed "Drive" shooting three explosive slashes at Zenon's bolts.
"Impressive." Zenon smirked, confident that her next attack will defeat Sparda. "But this will finish our fight." She floated several feet into the air and six dark wings sprouted out of her back and her entire body started to glow with immense demonic energy.
"Then I won't hold back either." Sparda transformed into his demonic form, he now had six wings, four insect-like and two bat-like ones and he had two horns and a red jewel on his forehead, he exuded a very powerful demonic aura that took the appearance of crimson flames.
"Dark Liberation!" Zenon called out as she created an enormous sphere of demonic energy, she then at Sparda, causing a large explosion, she smiled, confident that she had defeated her opponent.
Sparda then dispelled Yamato and Rebellion and summoned his self named sword and shifted his it into a scythe and performed "Round Tip" throwing it at Zenon's demonic orb, sending it flying back at her and he materialized Rebellion in his left hand and Yamato in his right and performed "Driven Judgment" shooting an explosive slash from Rebellion and a dimensional slash from Yamato at her, he then stood in front of her, pointing both blades at her.
"Y-You've defeated me!? An exhausted Zenon said as she glared at Sparda, after being undefeated for so long, her loss was very shocking to her.
"I won't kill you, just swear allegiance to Lord Mundus." Sparda kept his swords pointed at Zenon to keep her at bay, his victory was assured.
"I won't, but I'll swear allegiance to you. What's your name?" Zenon asked, eager to know the name of the man that had defeated her in single combat.
"It's Sparda." He answered Zenon's question, his honorable nature as a Devil Knight prevented him from letting his victory go to his head. "From this day on, you and your forces will be a part of my division."
"I hope you prove yourself worthy of my loyalty!" Zenon crossed her arms and looked away from Sparda with an unknowing blush, His power and noble spirit made her heart race.
"It seems you've conquered another rival army." Krichevskoy smiled, happy that Sparda had won the battle and Zenon's allegiance. "Your methods really are effective." He was impressed by his best friend's abilities.
"This man…" Zenon stared at Sparda, with a blush still present on her cheeks, her infatuation with the Devil Knight made obvious.
"Oh?" Krichekvskoy smirked upon noticing Zenon's blush, it was obvious to him that she had fallen for Sparda. "What do we have here?" The situation amused him greatly.
"I will unify the Netherworld." Sparda said to Krichevskoy and Zenon. "And I will fight to make Lord Mundus its ruler."
Author's note: Some friends asked me to write this and I'm pleased to say that I've started! DMC and Disgaea have so much crossover potential! So in the first chapter we see how Sparda plans on uniting the netherworld and Overlord Zenon has joined his party! I made Sparda and Kircheskoy best friends because Krichevskoy always struck me as a goofier Sparda, this signifies the start of the Sparda Arc of the story! Much like Gundam AGE I will be using the generation approach, the next arc is the Vergil arc, after that the Dante then the Nero Arc and finally the Sparda's bloodline arc! This fic will put a twist on so many things in the DMC and Disgaea universe, such as Zenon's obsession with solitude, Nero's mother and Dante's journey!
