Hello everybody my name is Trevyler and welcome to my first Devil May Cry story. Not counting Video Game High that is. This takes place after DMC4 and will use the Nero/ Vergil being father and son thing, but not much more than Dante commenting on it for the most part. It will also take some enemies, weapons, and characters from DMC1 and DMC3 as well. Sparda and Eva may make minor appearances here and there, but mostly mentions. Pairings may be used and if they are they will include Dante/Lady, Nero/Kyrie, Sparda/Eva, and possibly Vergil/OC. Anyway let's get on with the story!

CHAPTER 1:DANTE IN FORTUNA

The city of Fortuna had been torn apart by the demons and the so called Savior created by the Order of the Sword. Many had been killed or injured and a majority of the Orders men had been slaughtered by the demons or the red clad Son of Sparda.

Nero of course had to handle a lot of the labor in helping clean up the city before it could be rebuilt. Maybe having superhuman strength wasn't always a great thing.

One day Nero had just gotten done with his daily work when he decided he'd head into town. Along the way he'd seen a few people in some clothes that were dressing a bit more casual and they were no longer donning their hoods either. Others were still stuck in the old ways and didn't change aside from actually speaking to each other rather than whispering.

A particular sign that wasn't there before caught his eye, "You gotta be kiddin' me." he said to himself.

He made his way up the steps and threw the doors open, "What the hell old man?" he yelled as he entered the shop.

Dante looked up from the magazine he was reading, "Hey kid. How do ya like the new shop?" he replied nonchalantly.

Nero glared, "New Shop? How the hell did you get this place so quickly? You haven't even been here a week!" he shouted

The elder demon hunter chuckled, "Well when you help save the city from destruction and you're the son of the guy they worship then it kinda gives you some perks." he answered smugly.

The younger male slammed his human fist on the desk, "Why the hell do you need a shop here though?" he questioned.

Dante closed the magazine and set it down, "Well with everything that's happened here, it just might attract some attention from other demons. If that's the case then it seems like a pretty good reason for me to stick around. Not to mention anything related to Sparda will bring in quite a crowd." he said in a joking yet serious matter.

Nero wanted to find something to argue, but he couldn't find anything, "Damn. Good point I guess." he said turning towards the door.

As he did, it opened, " Oh you're already here." Kyrie said timidly.

She was wearing a pink dress decorated with flower patterns and brown boots.

Nero smiled, "We were just wrapping things up. So Dante give me a call or whatever if you need some back up." he shouted over his shoulder as he ushered Kyrie out with him.

The Son of Sparda chuckled, "I will kid." he replied to the empty room.

Despite his tough guy act he was happy to see the kid had something to hold on to. Dante wasn't so lucky in the long run. Sure Trish and Lady were good company when they weren't taking his money, but it could only go so far. His parents were dead and his brother probably was too. All he had from them are an Amulet, some weapons and powers. Oh yeah and all the old man's troubles get dropped in his lap. Son of Sparda ain't as glorious of a position as it seems.

That kid seems like he could be related, "I wonder..." he muttered to himself.

Nero and Kyrie were sitting in the courtyard outside the semi destroyed church.

He had his human arm wrapped around her, "So you knew he was here still?" he asked.

She looked at her lap, "Yes. I helped him get the place he's in now. I thought it was alright since he saved the city and both of us." she admitted.

The white haired young man turned her towards him, "I guess you're right. Although a little heads up would've been nice." he said leaning in.

She blushed and leaned in as well to meet him. It was a gentle kiss. Kyrie was too shy to go to far, but Nero on the other hand was being the one to initiate the more intense kiss. When they pulled apart they smiled at each other and embraced tightly.

Nero quickly drew Blue Rose and shot somewhere out of Kyrie's line of sight. A scarecrow turned to ash as he holstered the weapon once again.

The auburn haired girl felt safe as long as he was around. She felt guilty for thinking he'd ever turn against the Order for no good reason.

Little did they know that this disaster was far from over.

So that's a wrap. This chapter wasn't meant to be long because if I'd made it long then it would've taken longer as well as it would've been a lot of unnecessary details added to increase word count. This was a short and to the point intro. So I found out that apparently there's a novel where Nero runs a branch of Devil May Cry. I might do something like that in this story too. Although I don't think they'll be in Fortuna for very long. This is just a starting point. Lady and Trish will appear soon to because I want to include as many characters as I can even if they are limited to cameos. I don't know when the next chapter will be as I have a lot of stories to write for. Heck this might not even be out until sometime after I've written it just so I can get some chapters prepared ahead of time. Anyways, Have a great night everyone and I'll see you next time.
