A/N: Hey guys! It's here! It's finally here! I'm finally starting the super mega ginormous project of writing out the entire DMC storyline from my view! *cheers and throws confetti* aaaaaannnnd I'm still sitting here debating where on earth I want to start this in the timeline because I'm not necessarily going to go in order, but don't worry all the parts will line up, it'll just be like LoZ, not in order by release (but with much less confusion), I think I've decided now, but I seriously need to change my listening playlist if I'm going to start where I'm going to… I'm still on my juicy, yummy yaoi playlist… yup, just got off of the start of my new one, so if you're into that junk, go check it out, it'll be awesome! Anywho, just as a perspective of how huge this project will be, it'll go all the way from Sparda's rebellion in the demon realm all the way past the end of DMC4 and into the future of the games :) I will include the anime and the one novel I own and if there are other you guys would like to see included, I'd need a link to somewhere that I could purchase them (at a reasonable price please as I am a poor college student). Also if you guys have tips and ideas of where you think certain parts of this massive tale should go, just drop a review or pm, I'm all ears. This is a huge project I'm undertaking and I could use all the help I can get. Just as a sidenote, the DMC novel that I own is the one where Dante is going as Tony Redgrave and all that jazz, idk if that happens more than once. I'll shut up now and get started, since I've wasted far more than enough time.
Disclaimer: I am doing this compilation for free, that means I make no profit and I apologize for any discrepancies in the actual cannon, the goal is to be as spot on as I can but… I'm only human.
The Birth of a Legend
Sparda hated to hear his wife in pain, but this was necessary, there was no other way of going about this. And despite her pain and the unnatural things that she was giving birth to, the process itself was very natural, had been happening for his entire lifetime at the very least, and in human terms, that was a very long time indeed.
"Come on Eva…" he whispered under his breath, feeling more tense than he had even the moment before he had betrayed all of his kind. The midwife who was sworn to secrecy glanced at him from the corner of her eye and kept reminding Eva to breathe and push. What seemed like ages later but in actuality was only a few minutes the cries of a baby breached the air and seconds after that the great devil was being handed his first child, hastily wrapped in a blanket as the midwife prepared to help with the second child. Despite her pain Eva looked to him and he leaned over showing his wife the wiggling newborn.
"That one's Vergil." She said, grimacing slightly.
"Are you sure?" he asked, they'd decided upon names ahead of time but it was hard to decide who was who ahead of time when they were just strange looking images on a screen. Even to Sparda, a full blooded demon, the little pictures that ended up on the ultrasound looked like strange alien creatures.
"Yes." She hissed through her teeth "This one's our little Dante, our little fighter." This sentence ended with a low yell and Sparda winced, wishing he could help, wishing that he could give her a vital star, but the energy would just be sucked up by the infant that was currently pushing its way out of her body.
"They're my children, they'll both be fighters." He said, nestling his nose into Vergil's downy baby hair, ignoring the blood and memorizing the scent he already knew he'd never forget. Eva let off a breath that the demon assumed was meant to be a laugh before shouting once again and more cries were heard. This time the midwife had the time to wipe the blood and fluid from the infant before wrapping him in a soft blanket and handing him to his mother. Eva looked breathless and exhausted but happier than Sparda had seen her in a while. The pregnancy had taken a lot out of her, especially at the end, despite the ward that Sparda had put up to protect his wife and children, to keep the twins in their lowest energy state, in their human state. He knew they'd be able to take on demonic forms, they were far from the first halfbreeds brought into this world, but until they were capable of understanding what was going on and how to use it, he'd lock away their demonic forms.
Eva smiled as Sparda knelt next to her bed, holding Vergil in view of both her and Dante. The boys were a little quieter now that they were reunited, littermates tended to be that way, long into their childhood, incomplete without the other.
"They're beautiful." She said, leaning down and planting a kiss on first Dante's forehead, then Vergil's, and then to the demon's surprise, Sparda's.
"My beautiful boys." Sparda grinned before muttering softly in the demonic tongue, touching each of his sons' foreheads with a couple fingers.
"What did you say?" Eva asked leaning her head against his shoulder, too exhausted to keep it upright.
"Welcome to the world my children." He kissed the top of her head, rubbing his nose in her hair just as he had done with Vergil. The midwife smiled at the warm scene before her, the family may not have been entirely human but they were far closer than many that she'd seen who were. She washed her hands in the sink, commenting.
"Well that went much better than many of the births that I've helped with." Before walking back to the family who just stared at her with wide startled eyes.
"There's worse than that?"
A/N: Hahaha, I couldn't help just a bit of light humor at the end, so yeah, I'm starting with the happy gooey family stuff :3 Though with several devils in the house not all of it will be happy and gooey, I hope I do okay with characterization, Sparda and Eva don't really get any in the series so I'm just going to make a shot in the dark and I hope it suits everyone's tastes, what else can I do? Anyway, I hope you guys like this as no matter what, I'll continue the project, it's a goal of mine and I'll finish it whether you guys like it or not.
Till next time,
