Devil May Cry
"Little Devil"
Devil Synopsis
Many years ago a great warrior, a demon known as Sparda sealed away an immense power that threatened to annihilate Earth, using his speed, power, and knowledge of the demon world he was able to put an end to the virulent monster known as Mundus. After the Demon prince's defeat Sparda fell in love with a human female and bore children. He had two sons, both sharing the blood of the devils; his children were named Virgil and Dante but little did Sparda know that both of his sons would choose a different path in they're lives one that would ultimately bring about another war between devils and humans. During the birth of Sparda's children another demon was brought onto Earth. After this demon's imprisonment he regained control of a human female he had taken prisoner long before his defeat, before his battle with the great Knight Sparda. Mundus had slept with the woman and nine months later the woman had bore a child, a female that Mundus had named Katherine. Katherine, being the daughter of a demon prince like Sparda's children shared the blood of her parents but because Mundus had mutilated the human female's body to a horrible extent she had the blood of a pure demon running through her veins, the only DNA that Katherine possessed that made her human was the ten percent that belonged to her automated mother, who of which died instantly after her birth. Katherine couldn't stand the fact that her mother was no where to be found and because of her existence she wanted nothing more but to be reunited with the person that gave her life, but all she had to keep her going was her extensive knowledge of the demon world and the human world and her survival skills, all that of which grew over time as she got older. At the age of ten Katherine had had enough, she was with Mundus for about ten years and during those first five she had to hide from Sparda, a demon who she feared greatly for his power and his personality, being that his heroic and chivalrous persona was foreign to her. With her father locked away in exile but continuing to grow in power Katherine made the decision to ditch her strict devil life style and peruse Sparda's offspring, if she could get to them maybe she could prevent any other catastrophes to happen on Earth. Both Dante and his little brother Virgil lived peaceful lives despite the fact that they were part human and part demon. Possessing such an ability didn't seem to bother either of them, they were happy just being children. It seemed as if with the loss of Mundus the brothers would have the opportunity to live carefree lives but it was on that fateful day, they're tenth birthday that all would make a turn for the worse…simply because of the appearance of a little girl Dante's life would be change forever…

Chapter 1: Little Devils
"C'mon now boys…it's time to blow out the candles!" Replied Dante and Virgil's mother as she came from out of the kitchen onto the courtyard with a massive birthday cake for the two ten year old son's of Sparda.
"I'll blow them out!" Virgil yelled as he bolted up off the grass and after the birthday cake.
"No! I want to!" Dante yelled as he got up and ran after his brother, gripping his left arm making sure he wouldn't go anywhere.
"No me first Dante!" Virgil yelled as he snatched his left arm away from Dante.
"No Virgil! You always blow them out!" Dante replied in a cross tone of voice as he stared at the birthday cake that he and Virgil was only a few feet away from.
"No! You always blow them out before me!" Virgil complained as he turned Dante around so he could look into his clever aqua green eyes.
"No I don't Virgil! Every time I try to blow them out you throw a fire ball at me and blow them all out for yourself!" Dante replied in a loud voice, one that immediately grabbed his mother's attention.
"SO! You ALWAYS get to open presents first!" Virgil yelled as he pointed to a few of the gifts they're mother had brought them.
"I'm the oldest!" Dante replied in a slick voice as he casually walked away from Virgil and touched one of the presents.
"No you're not! And that's my present!" Virgil yelled as he shoved his brother making the present fall back on the floor.
"I don't see you're name on it!" Dante replied as he went to pick up the shiny present.
"Then you need glasses Dante!" Virgil replied in a harsh tone of voice as he put his foot on the present, making sure Dante wouldn't be able to pick it up.
"It doesn't matter! I'm the coolest and the oldest…so it's only fair that a kid with a such a mentality should open his presents, blow out the candles and get the first piece of cake before you!" Dante replied in a witty voice as he grabbed another present and lightly shook it, to make a guess on what could possibly be inside.
"No way! Not fair Dante!" Virgil yelled as he snatched the present out of Dante's hands and threw to the ground, enraged by Dante's actions.
"Life isn't fair…so deal with it!" Dante replied as he continued to ignore his little brother and go on with his present pillaging.
"Life is fair!" Virgil cried as he stomped his foot into the ground, mad at Dante for not giving him any respect on his birthday.
"No it isn't…" Dante replied in a low voice as he slightly turned to look at his spoiled little brother.
"Yes it is!" Virgil yelled as he got into Dante's face, shoving him to show that he had no intention on taking any more of Dante's ill-mannered comments.
"No…it's…not…!" Dante yelled, now in a demon possessed like voice as he baled up his fist, enveloping it with his devil powers to intimidate his little brother.
"MOM!" Virgil yelled as he ran to his mother and hid behind her, hoping her navy blue gown would conceal him from Dante's wrath.
"You chicken! You can't hide behind Mom all day! Unless of course…you really don't want any of that delicious birthday cake Mom made for us…" Dante replied in a sly voice as he maneuvered himself over to the cake and stuck his finger into it, getting a sample of the delicious treat.
"MOM! Make him stop!" Virgil yelled as he watched Dante as he enjoyed the sample of chocolate on his index finger as he walked away from the cake, taunting Virgil like as if the cake had really belonged to him.
"Alright boys…that's more than enough…" They're Mother replied in a solemn voice as she grabbed them by they're hands and led them to the marble table which held they're enormous birthday cake.
"But Mom!" Virgil whined as he watched Dante lick his lips from the sweet taste of his own victory over his spoiled little brother.
"Now Dante…you know what you said wasn't nice…" Eva replied in a calm but stern tone of voice as she made an attempt to discipline her pugnacious son.
"…But it's true Mother! I am the oldest!" Dante replied in an overconfident tone of voice as he began to play around and show off his skills as a swordsman as he gracefully maneuvered his silver sword, a modified version of a real sword that looked more like a dagger that his father created for him, back and forth in Virgil's face in an attempt to further irritate him.
"Maybe so but only by a few seconds!" Eva replied informing Dante of the truth behind his age.
"…Ohh…" Dante muttered in a melancholic tone of voice, as he understood how wrong he was on his opinion of himself.
"See! Ha! Proves you wrong doesn't it Dante!" Virgil replied as he began to taunt his older brother as revenge for what Dante had said to him about age earlier.
"Grr…whatever…" Dante muttered as he placed his sword behind his back.
"Guess you don't know everything huh?" Virgil replied still taunting Dante.
"…Shut-up Virgil…I'm still the oldest!" Dante replied.
"Come now children…this day belongs to the both of you! As brothers it is only fair that you celebrate the tenth day of you're births together." They're mother replied as she sat them down in front of the cake and hugged them both.
"…Yeah…you're right Mom…" Dante replied in an earnest tone of voice as he hugged his Mother, embracing Virgil as well.
"…Yeah…" Virgil muttered as he hugged his family members.
"Now…blow out you're candles…and then I'll serve you some cake." She replied in a cheerful tone of voice as she picked up a few of her beautiful silver plates and placed one of each in front of Dante and then Virgil and then for herself.
As the boys went to blow out they're candles they hesitated like as if something was a miss. They sat down in they're seats and stared down into the table, as if ashamed to continue on with such a joyous event.
"…Dante…Virgil…what's wrong? Don't you want to blow out the candles and enjoy you're special day?"
"…Today would be special…" Dante muttered.
"Yeah…if only if Dad would come…" Virgil replied in a sad tone of voice as he glanced at the empty chair at the head of the table, the table where they're Father, the legendary demon slayer, Sparda would normally sit.
"Oh Virgil…Dante…I…I know how you feel…I miss him too…" Eva, Dante and Virgil's mother replied as she went over and hugged Virgil inviting Dante to come in and be comforted by her warm, loving embrace.
"Then…why won't he come back to us?" Dante asked in a concerned tone of voice, starring into his mother's alluring blue eyes.
"Yeah…why doesn't he want to come home and be with us as a family?" Virgil asked as he hugged his Mother even tighter.
"…He wants to…he just…can't…that's all." Eva replied in a compromising tone of voice as she tried to remain content with her children although she knew why her husband hardly ever returned home to his family.
"So what's holding him back?" Dante asked in a sentimental tone of voice as he released himself from his Mother's embrace.
"Oh Dante…" Eva replied in a low tone of voice as she hugged her son again, burying her face in his right shoulder to conceal the look of sadness that was displayed on her face.
"…Mother…are you okay…?" Dante asked in a concerned tone of voice, sensing his Mother's feelings of distraught and agony as he knew that she was keeping a very important secret about Sparda away from Dante and Virgil so they're feelings wouldn't be hurt.
"…Yes…I'm fine Dante…thank you for asking…" She replied as she gave her son a smile to prove him wrong of his mother's true feelings of sadness for their situation.
"Doesn't he love us any more Mother?" Virgil asked in a concerned and innocent tone of voice as he buried his face in his Mother's chest.
"How could you ask her that!" Dante replied in an angry voice as he sensed his little brother's doubt in they're Father's feelings of love and respect for his beloved family.
"…Dante…" Eva muttered sadly as she knew she would be forced to witness another verbally abusive fight between her two sons.
"…No Mother!" Dante yelled as he evaded his mother and went to confront his brother.
"Virgil always doubts our Father…he fears that while Father is away that his feelings of compassion and consideration for his own family dwindle …and I'm sick of it!" Dante replied as he stared Virgil down with a serious and irritated look.
"So how do you explain his absence for the last ten years big brother! Where has he been since then!" Virgil yelled as he tried to defend himself from Dante's opinion of they're Father and his whereabouts.
"Out saving the world and protecting it from monsters like Mundus that what!" Dante countered.
"Thanks for reminding me…" Virgil replied in a sarcastic tone of voice as he rolled his eyes, showing his back to his know-it all brother.
"Don't mention it…" Dante replied back in the same sarcastic matter, giving Virgil a devilish smile, knowing that he had once again proved his little brother wrong.
"Boys…come now…you have to understand…" Eva begged in a soft voice.
"What is they're to understand?" Virgil asked harshly as he turned around to face his mother.
"Our Father is a demon slayer Virgil…and one day we will be demon slayers too…we'll be saving the world from demons and monsters…just like Dad does…it'll be great!"
Dante replied in a calm voice as he put his hand on his little brother's left shoulder.
"Yeah…but what about Mother…?" Virgil asked in a subtle tone of voice, brushing Dante's hand off of his shoulder as he stared back helplessly into his mother's eyes, trying to comprehend her thoughts.
"We'll be there for her when she needs us!" Dante replied, trying to assure his brother of his honesty.
"Yeah…but the truth is Dante…she's the only one who really has been there for us…" Virgil replied in a sympathetic voice.
"…Now boys…come here…" Eva replied as she sat down in the hammock.
"There is nothing you can say that will make me think any other way about our Father Mom…" Virgil replied in an unconcerned voice as he crossed his arms and looked the other way, away from both Dante and his mother.
"Don't waste you're breath on him Mom…he refuses to listen…" Dante replied in an unsympathetic tone of voice that rivaled Virgil's as he hugged his mother again to show his appreciation for his legal guardian.
"Boys…please understand that you're Father although he is a Demon Slayer…he really does love us…"
"…Really…?" Virgil asked still refusing to look into his mother's eyes.
"…You're Father loves you and Dante very much…" She replied in an angelic tone of voice as she grasped Virgil's face, gently forcing him to look into his mother's eyes.
"Even you…?" Virgil asked sympathetically, still not giving his mother direct eye contact.
"As well as I…but you must find it in you're hearts to understand that you're Father is our protector…in-fact he is the world's protector…" Eva replied as she comforted her distraught children, informing them of they're Father's absence and his true feelings for his flesh and blood.
"…I know Mother…" Virgil muttered in an indifferent tone of voice.
"Then why is it so hard for you to truly grasp our situation…?" Eva asked.
"I don't know…it just…is…" Virgil muttered.
"…My poor, poor, Virgil…you need not worry about you're Father…" Eva replied as she continued to soothe her son's confusion and irregular opinions.
"I can't help but not be concerned for his well being…what if…what if…?"- "No more what ifs Virgil…" Dante replied in a calm tone of voice as he interrupted his brother and mother's conversation.
"But…but Dante!" Virgil whined.
"I mean it little bro…it's our birthday…" Dante replied.
"Yeah but…"
"I know…it's not a birthday party unless Dad shows up…but…to be honest…we wouldn't have as many birthdays as we already had if it wasn't for our Father and his brave actions."
"…I guess…" Virgil muttered.
"Look my son…you're brother is right…if it wasn't for you're Father and all of his courageous accomplishments none of us…not even the plants, animals, and peoples that inhabit this planet would be here." Eva replied in a kind-hearted and informative tone of voice.
"I know…" Virgil mumbled as he felt his brain being over flooded by his doubts and his mother and older brother's opinions on Sparda's nature.
"Because of all of the things that he has done for us don't you believe that you're Father would want you and you're brother to be happy on this momentous occasion?" Eva asked.
"Yeah…of course he would want that for me and Dante." Virgil replied.
"Yeah…so Virgil?" Dante replied as he looked towards his brother with a considerate expression on his face.
"Yeah Dante?"
"Although Dad isn't around to celebrate another birthday with us can't we still enjoy this one together with just me, you and Mom?" Dante asked as he tried his best to compromise and sympathize with his younger brother.
"…Well…" Virgil muttered as he thought of his decision.
"Birthdays only come once a year…but our Father will be around for all eternity! C'mon Virgil! Let's have some fun!" Dante replied in a loud and cheerful voice as he grappled his little brother from behind and placed him in a neck lock. Virgil easily slipping out of the hold fixed the collar on his dark blue shirt and looked at the birthday gifts, the cake and then back at his mother and then to Dante.
"Yeah…that's true…but despite that…still…I would like it if Dad could be here with us." Virgil replied in an optimistic and heartfelt tone of voice as he brushed his silver hair back into it's neat and almost gothic like form.
"He'll come back Virgil…" Dante replied as he placed his hand on his brother's shoulders facing him, and looking him directly in the eyes.
"You promise?" Virgil asked in an unsure voice, looking to Dante for support as he extended his hand wanting Dante to shake it to assure him of Dante's sincerity.
"Yeah…I promise!" Dante replied as he shook his brother's hand.
Seeing such a sincere turn of events between her sons relieved Eva, seeing that harmony was restored to her boys, using her powers. Devil powers she learned from her husband Sparda she lit the ten candles to Dante and Virgil's massive Chocolate birthday cake.
