Disclaimer:- I neither own Bleach or DMC Devil May Cry and I make no profit from this.
Author's Note:- This is something I've wanted to try out, and it seemed interesting. Depending on your reviews, I'll take the series forward. I'll try my best to make sure I don't make any grammatical mistakes and also unfold an interesting and out of the box plot. I hope you enjoy this.
The story takes place after the winter war when Ichigo does not have his Shinigami powers and immediately after DMC Devil May Cry: Vergil's Downfall.
SMC- Shinigami May Cry
Chapter 1:- The new Dark Lord
Today was a very important moment for the residents of Hell. It was now that Hell had gotten a new ruler ever since their old one, Mundus was slain. He was replaced by none other than Lord Vergil, one of the nephilims who was responsible for his death. It was pretty ironic, considering how Mundus had killed their mother, the angel Eva right in front of them by eating her heart out and also banished their demonic father, the legendary Sparda, his own brother, just because they choose to love each other and Vergil had simply decided to follow in his uncle's footsteps. After being killed by his brother, Dante cold heartedly, the despair he felt had known no bounds for his brother was everything to him and his only family left. "Lord Vergil, Lord Vergil"! Vergil jerked into reality, realizing his loyal and trusted general, the demon Alden was calling out to him. "What is it Alden?" asked Vergil. Surprisingly, Alden was the most human looking warrior in his army. He was a tall, muscular looking man with shoulder length dark, brown hair, sharp looking emerald green eyes, a face that looked as if he was in his 30's, and one that showed he was a seasoned fighter. He wore padded leather armor, with two skulls as shoulder pads, leather pants and western style boots. A thin hand and a half sword hung by his belt. "My Lord, now that you've made Hell as your own, you've gained the power you seek to finally conquer the humans. Just give us your command and the living world will be yours", finished Alden. "It's not that simple", said Vergil. " The living world is not completely defenseless like I previously thought. It might've been easy to deal with Dante the way I am now, but it is also protected by the shinigami. Conquering it won't be an easy task, even with the most skilled fighters and our army the way it stands now". "Shinigami?" asked Alden. This was completely new to him. In all his life as a demon for the past 200 years, never has he heard the term before. "Yes, they are what you would call 'Death Gods', who are in charge of guiding pure souls called 'Wholes' to the soul society, a haven for souls of humans after they've passed on, and also for purifying corrupt souls called 'Hollows'. The really evil souls end up here in Hell." explained Vergil. He then went on to great detail about the soul society, the gotei 13 and heuco mundo. He also explained how limbo was simply a gateway between hell and the living world, something similar to the dangai that connects the living world and the soul society. Except, limbo is not like a tunnel like the dangai but rather an overlapping dimension that coincides with the living world. By entering certain portals in limbo, one could enter the gates of hell. "Pardon me for asking, my lord, but how did you chance upon this information?" asked Alden. Clearly, he was surprised, since he, who has lived much longer than Vergil didn't have inkling about the existence of such things, but his master, who is only a few decades old, knows what he doesn't. "Let's just say I was paid a visit by the lord of heuco mundo, and he told me all that I know now" replied vergil, smirking. He was immediately reminded of how he collapsed in front of his mother's grave, dying from his wounds inflicted by his brother. He would've died, if not for the hollow that happened to be in the vicinity. And not just any hollow, but a vasto lorde, one of the most powerful class of hollows in existence, sensed his presence and decided to take over his powers. The hollow kept attacking him mentally by taking on the forms of kat and dante, and then finally an exact copy of himself, which lead to a battle inside his 'inner world'. But vergil proved to be stronger, and subjugated the hollow and gained all of its powers and also the knowledge it had, thus returning stronger than ever. The powers of a vasto lorde combined with nephilim powers were not something to be made light of. Vergil continued " We need more allies if we are to ever think about taking over the human world. But first, we need to eliminate the problematic shinigami, otherwise they would simply get in our way. There must be a lot of arrancar left over from after Aizen's time. If we have their powers alongside our own, we'd be unstoppable!" he said with an evil grin. Alden had a smile of his own. " An excellent plan my lord, we shall depart immediately." He said , and retreated to gather the 5 most powerful warriors of his army to depart to heuco mundo to recruit the hollows. Vergil watched in satisfaction. Just you wait Dante, he thought. You killed me once, but this time, I'll show you how wrong you were!
Well, I hope this fits the two story lines well and hope you like it! Let me know if there were any mistakes I made from my part, be it grammatical or plot wise. I'll also try to use the proper honorifics when we get to the next part.
