Hello all! Welcome to my DMC Fanfiction. This roughly takes place after DMC 4, and its DEFINITELY a work in progress. I hope you enjoy!
Note: I do not own DMC or any characters besides my own.
"Dammit!" Yumi called out. Looking behind her, thousands of demons were giving chase. All different shapes and sizes. All set out to do one thing, bring her back to hell. The only problem was, Yumi didn't want to go back to hell. She wanted to live freely, she couldn't deal with that life. Living in the demon world, Watching as humans were turned into demons themselves. She wasn't even a full demon!
After using the portal to escape, she found herself being chased by hundreds of demons, minutes after she was being chased by thousands, and it was only getting worse, her only option was to get to Central City as fast as she could, the Demons wouldn't give chase there. Because there lied the most powerful entity in the Human world. There lied the son of Sparta.
"Dante!" She yelled, running as fast as she could. Yumi didn't know why she yelled his name, all she knew was that she was almost there. Her dark red hair following her gracefully. Her eyes looking left and right. Instead of her usual blue eyes, they were now blood red. She was sensing for anyone that could help her, and any demons that were trying to ambush her. She could sense Dante, it wasn't too far, she was at the outskirts of the city. "Just a little more!" She smiled, seeing the entrance just a mile away. Her only chance at freedom, away from those horrible demons. Away from everything that's ever happened. She could start a new life.
Then a demon jumped behind her, grabbing onto her legs, Causing her to fall. She violently kicked and pushed, yelling and screaming. "No! No! I won't go back!" she quickly turned around and saw the onslaught of demons rushing towards her. She yelled and kicked the demon as hard as she could. It finally gave up and let go. Yumi quickly scrambled to her feet and began running. Her heart beating as fast as she had ever felt it. She was so close, she could almost touch the brick wall. As she got to the entrance she turned around. The demons nowhere to be seen. She smiled victoriously. Her eyes appearing to their normal blue color. As she turned around to begin her search she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Then her world went black.
What felt like moments later, she found herself in a hospital bed. Almost becoming frightened, she immediately calmed down when a young man graced her with a smile.
"Hello ma'am. How are you doing"
Yumi blinked twice and finally smiled. He didn't look like a demon to her. Which was good. "Y..yes" she stammered. "I'm fine"
The man, who turned out to be a nurse, began writing things on his clipboard. "you're the luckiest woman I've ever met. An arrow pierced through your chest and had just missed your heart by not even a fingernail. You'll be able to leave soon but" he stopped for a moment before smiling again. "we have no record of you, not even one. It's like you don't even exist. Just who are you miss..?"
Yumi looked left and right. Wondering wether to give him an alias or her real name. "Rachel" she blurted out. "Rachel Weatherfield"
The nurse nodded. "I'll be right back miss Weatherfield" He walked out of the room. Disappearing from her sight.
At that moment Yumi quickly stood up and looked around, she found a window and looked down. Two stories high it seemed. That was a perfect height for her to jump down. She climbed out the window and jumped. A surge of wind blow towards her, and the excitement screamed out of her body. She landed forcefully, crating a small crater with her feet. It had seemed that no one noticed, and she jolted out of sight. Into an alleyway. Now she needed clothes. "Great.." she murmured. Staring down at her tattered gown. She turned left, entering a small apartment. She checked if anyone had left their door open, and about two floors up someone had. She walked inside and looked around. The place was small and empty, save for some dirty things on the ground. She opened the closet adjacent to the bed near the door. There were female clothes there, all her size luckily. "What a lucky girl I am!" Yumi smiled.
She pulled out some underwear, bra, some tight blue jeans, matching shirt, and some nice sneakers. The shirt was a tad bit tight as well, but the outfit showed her form nicely. Now she had to find Dante. She quickly left the house and outside. It was then she noticed how warm and beautiful central city was...well, more beautiful than the demon world was. She smiled and decided to walk around, looking for it herself. Her eyes became blood red. Sensing for Dante's demon aura. She could not find it, it was being hidden. Her eyes changed back. Looks like she had to do it the old-fashioned way. "This might take a while" she murmured.
Seconds turned into minutes. Minutes turned into hours. After three she gave up and walked into a restaurant. Where she heard a waitress giving a man with white hair and a strange red coat some smack talk. He looked very charming. Young face, slim but strong body. Yumi wondered why the waitress was yelling at him. The man stood up and walked away. For some strange reason Yumi felt compelled to speak to him.
"Excuse me!" Yumi called out to him from across the street. The man turned around and stopped. Yumi caught up to him and gave him the widest smile she had. Showing her strangely bright white teeth. "Uhm..do you know a man named Dante"
The man looked at her up and down. "Well pretty lady, that would be me" he grinned and grabbed her by the waist. "Now, what's a pretty girl like you want with the famous Dante?"
Yumi became disgusted a little, pushing away from him,but he was telling the truth, a demonic aura filled her senses around him, but it wasn't normal demonic Aura, it was the one of Sparda himself. "Could I..uhh..speak to you someplace private?"
Dante smiled. "Sure, my office is just a couple of blocks away" he began to walk and Yumi quickly followed. He took a very crazy walk filled with alleyways until they began to walk through a Large alleyway. He stopped in front of the building. "Devil May Cry" was what the sign said on top of the door. He opened it. Yumi followed, closing the door behind her. Turning around she noticed a dirty room, the smell of pizza filling her nostrils, and a large desk in front of her. Dante laid back on his chair and planted both feet on the desk, crossing his legs. "So..what is it you wanna talk about?"
Yumi sighed. Now in front of the legendary Dante, she began to hesitate. She may tell the truth, but would Dante believe her? He doesn't have a good track record speaking to demons besides his brother..so she could be screwed. "Can you trust me one hundred percent? I need to know before we move forward"
Dante looked at her awkwardly but laughed. "Sure babe, you could talk about anything with me" He rested his hands behind his head. So casually.
Yumi nodded. "There are demons chasing me"
"Demons?" Dante sat down normally. "That sounds serious, do you know why they are chasing you?"
"They want to send me back to the Demon world" Yumi looked down.
Dante's face became serious. "hey lady..just who the hell are you anyways?" He reached for his sword.
Yumi became scared, she knew about his sword, rebellion. It had slain many demons. Some almost as powerful as her. "Sahreth..Daughter of Makrah, the only demon who can defeat Sparta"
At that moment Dante flipped up and dashed towards her, he was about to cut her head off before she yelled out.
"Wait! Dante! Let me speak please!" Yumi was afraid. She could hold her own against Dante and he almost seemed to know it. He pulled back slightly, still having his guard up. "I asked you to trust me, I don't want to ever fight you, I am not your enemy"
Dante sighed. "I sure as hell can't trust you now. Your father is damn well evil. For all I know he could've sent you to kill me"
"Dante..I'm nothing like my father, I hate him for what he's done. I'm a half demon, just like you"
"what?" came the voice of two females, one with blonde hair, the other with short black hair. Yumi instantly recognized one of them.
"Trish...I thought you were still with Mundus?"
Trish's face was also very serious, sparks from her hand beginning to spark. "There's no way you're a half demon. Your father would never mate with a hu-"
Yumi stopped her. "he was forced to by Mundus, they thought that the only way to defeat Dante and Vergil is to have another half breed who is just as powerful as them. They trained me to kill you, but after my training I escaped. I couldn't do it, I was different. I saw what they did to humans and I couldn't take it. So I escaped.
"but Dante" the other woman began to speak. "she's a high class demon, the only portal she can go through is the one from Yamato..so ho-"
"Vergil" Dante stopped her. He looked forward and saw his brother, along with his sword, Yamato at hand.
"and that's where I come in." he grinned, walking forward and stopping next to Yumi. "She's telling the truth, she had indirectly helped my escape. Mounds putting all of his forces to capture her which had left the prison cells unattended. I had made my escape and had "bumped" into her. Followed her, and went through the same portal she had walked into. The question is. I felt Yamato's power, but now that I have it, it didn't come from Yamato itself" Vergil looked down at her. "Alicia..." he grinned. " is there another sword like Yamato that you have stashed somewhere?"
Yumi sighed, someone using her actual human name. "guess there's no use for my fake names" Alicia smiled. "Yes, there is another sword like Yamato, it is under my possession, only I know where it is, but for the Human worlds safety I will not give it up"
"for the human worlds safety or for you own!" Dante growled.
Vergil raised his hand to quiet his brother. "Was it made in the demon world? And was it made specifically for you?" He studied Alicia's face and she could feel it. As if his eyes were piercing through her heart. She felt compelled to answer his question..and she was actually liking it.
"The sword is like Yamato only in the sense that it can open portals, as a weapon of fighting, it is completely different from Yamato, its main elemental is not ice, but fire. So in a sense it is the same yet completely different" Alicia took a step forward towards Dante. "You have to trust me. If anything I am more like your father. I will take my sword up to fight any demons who threaten the human world"
Dante sighed, looking at trish and his other female friend. "Well lady..trish?"
Lady shook her head. "I really can't trust her, how many demons we've killed that had said the same thing...and your brother Virgil.."
Trish sighed. Putting her hands on her hips, the electricity fading. "Vergil..what are you doing here"
Vergil's smile faded. "I really don't have much to do. Getting out of hell was my only plan"
"You mean to tell me that you don't crave power? That you won't use this girl to your advantage? I'm sorry brother I love ya and all, but you gotta know that I know what you know sometimes" Dante picked up rebellion and twirled it around.
"humph" Vergil surprisingly put his hand on Alicia's waist, she let out a shriek like sound before her lips being enclosed with his. Alicia felt her stomach flutter, before her mind could process what was happening, Vergil pulled back. "That's for saving me..indirectly"
Alicia smiled, she wasn't going to let him win that easily. "Consider yourself lucky I didn't turn around while I was down there, I let you follow me"
Virgil just let out a "hmph" and began to walk away. "Dante, you can trust her, any demon that says different is lying"
Dante nodded. Smiling to his brother finally. "Good to see that you're back. Hopefully I won't need to send you back to hell after that stunt you pulled"
"I let you beat me" Vergil said before walking away.
Dante shrugged, "Whatever floats your boat bro" He turned around and sat down on the chair. He was in the same position he was when he had gotten there with Alicia.
"Sahreth. Wh-" Trish's voice was overshadowed by Alicia's own.
"Please, just call me Alicia. Alicia Bloodrose" She gave Trish a smile.
"Right..Alicia. You've probably answered enough questions for one day, however I'm still not sitting well with this.." She took a step forward. "Change of heart" Trish looked at lady who sighed and put her hands up in defeat. Walking towards Dante and told him something before walking away. Eying Alicia in the process.
"It's not a change of heart. I've always been like this since I was born probably. It's what they didn't expect"
"And what about your human mother? Do you know her? Know what she looks like?" Trish was pressing for a lot of info. She took a couple of steps back before leaning on the wall, her arms crossed.
"My father barely talked about her. All I know is that she has blue eyes" Alicia sighed, "like myself"
"Well, that cuts it down to a couple of million people" Dante joked.
Trish just gave Dante a glare. "anyways. For now we will just assume that you are telling us the truth. Which would mean that Vergil trusts you. Did you ever meet him before?"
Alicia sighed again. Rubbing her temple. "Yes, multiple times. But that was a long time ago. Two years maybe. He looked worn down. Beaten maybe. I tried to help him. I encouraged him, telling him that he will be fine, that one day he would escape" At first he always told me not to talk to him or just ignored me, but after a while he saw some truth to my words. It was then when my father caught on that I was visiting Vergil a lot. So he cut off my privileges. I never heard from him again until now"
"I find it odd that my bro would fall for a lady like you. Especially since he hates half demons" Dante sighed. Placing his two pistols, ebony and ivory. On the table.
"Yeah..I'm with Dante. Something is fishy here" Trish shook her head. Turning to Dante. "I gotta go, will you be okay with her? Alone?"
Dante laughed. "Yeah I'm good. As long as she don't try anything we'll be just fine"
Alicia smiled. "Thank you for trusting me once again, even if it's small" she bowed her head in respect. Still standing in the same position she was in when she had walked into "Devil May Cry"
Trish nodded and walked out through the door. Leaving the two half demons alone.
"Well? There's a couch. Over there." Dante pointed to the couch on his left. It was a large leather couch. "there's some food in the fridge if you'd like anything to eat, just warning ya, there's only pizza" he grinned.
Alicia bowed once again. "Thank you again for the hospitality" she walked over to the couch and sat down. Her hands on her lap. She looked around, it was quiet, except for some music playing through an old jukebox. There was stairs to which Alicia figured was the bedrooms and bathrooms. For once she actually felt safe. However just like Vergil, without her sword she cannot reach the limits of her power. Unlike Vergil, she can tap an enormous amount of energy and was still powerful than most demons at this state. She would just have a lot of trouble fighting.
"I'm all for chitchat, but I'm getting really bored here" Dante sighed. His phone rang, he kicked the desk and the phone was launched into the air. He caught it with one hand and picked it up with the other. "Devil May cry, what's the password?"
Alicia watched as Dante listened to the man, she strained to hear what the man was saying, apparently demons were at a steel factory causing havoc. Dante told him to stay put, he was on his way. "Wait.." She asked. "You're leaving me here?"
Dante sighed, picking up his two pistols and holstering them. Then picking up his sword. "you know how to fight? I can't be babysitting you all day"
Alicia nodded. "but I have to pick up my stuff, it's in the outskirts of the city. Only I know where it is, and if it's in the wrong hands then..well that's not good now is it?"
Dante nodded, walking out and getting on his motorcycle parked right in front. Alicia quickly hopped on. The motorcycle revved and launched itself forward. Alicia held tightly for dear life. Before she knew it she was out of the city and speeding on grass. They drove a couple of miles forward before Alicia ordered him to stop.
They stopped in front of a small shack with multiple rocks surrounding them. The shack was deserted, and there was nothing inside of it. There wasn't anything within a mile radius. "Are you sure it's here?" Dante asked, leaning on his bike and grinning.
Alicia once again rubbed her temple. "yeah it's here. I know it for a fact" she sighed. Putting her hands on her hips and looking left and right. Frustrated.
"Ya know, you look sexy as hell when you do that" Dante chuckled.
Alicia raised a brow, looking at him. "are you trying to hit on me Dante?" she walked towards a large rock and picked it up with ease. There it was, her sword and custom made I pod and headphones. There was also a custom made pistol inside a holster. Using the same components used to create Dante's twin pistol. However she had one and he had two. Alicia threw the rock to the side and put the I pod in her pocket while putting on the large wireless headset, it looked like something DJ's would use. Except that it was a blood red color. She attached the holster to the right side of her and picked up her sword. At that moment she felt an insane amount of power surge through her body. "Yes.." She whispered. "This is it. Ashura. The most powerful devil arm at this moment" She looked at Dante and smiled. "Let's go"
Dante shrugged, getting back on his bike. Alicia already behind them. He rode back into the city. Both prepared to take down demons. A grin appeared on Alicia's face.
