Devil May Cry: The Traitor's Bloodline, Nephilim Arc

Prologue: Prison and Hell

In parallel world, Humanity is secretly living under the control of the Demons; politics, finance and even media are being used to keep the humans docile, corrupted and unaware, at the heart of it all, is the Demon King Mundus, who leads the forces of the Netherworld and as his human avatar, "Kyle Rider" controls the world through debt, his corruption of the human world has also plunged the Netherworld into chaos, due to the flow of corrupt souls exceeding its limit, but both worlds have their saviors, twin brothers that bear the blood of both Angels and Demons, the sons of the Archangel Eva and the Demon Knight Sparda, the Nephilim, Dante and Vergil, this is their story.

In a heavily guarded prison in Limbo City, a prison guard was torturing a young man with black hair, he was bruised and bloody and cuffs bound his hands, but he refused to yield to him.

"You're one tough son of a bitch!" The prison guard yelled at the black haired man, unsatisfied by his endurance. "But this will break you for sure!" He took out a large spiked club.

"Whoa, that's a big stick you got there!" The black haired man smirked, mocking the demonic prison guards' attempts at torturing him. "I bet you plan on fucking yourself with that big thing later."

"Shut up!" "The prison guard smacked the black haired man across the face with his spiked club, he was enraged at his vulgar joke. "Dante, you are one of Limbo City's worst criminals, you deserve to be locked up and tortured like in Hellfire Prison like this!"

"And you deserve the same, just for being a giant dick." Dante yelled out, the prison guard's slanderous words were getting on his nerves: he then broke the cuffs and punched him.

"Stay down, you punk!" The prison guard recovered from Dante's punch, now madder than ever, he took out a Taser and shot it at him, shocking him with electricity through its wire.

"I'm gonna get you for that, you bastard!" Dante yelled out in pain, he felt the electricity course through his body, but his inhuman resistance allowed him to withstand the pain long enough to pull the wire out.

"I'll drag you into Limbo and kill you nice and slowly, you cocky little punk!" The surroundings twisted with demonic energy as the prison guard transformed into a large grey demon that looked like a cross between a lion and a gorilla, he wielded a massive two-handed axe and wore rusty iron armor. "We don't like rebels here, you're a disgrace to your kind! Your parents are gone, no one can save you!"

"Just when I thought you couldn't get any uglier." Dante smirked, getting ready to fight the demonic prison guard. "I'm gonna mess you up so bad, that you'll wanna go to hell!"

"Rebellion, my sword is yours." A voice echoed in Dante's mind, it sounded warm and fatherly reassuring him of his safety. "It is now one with your body."

"Who the hell is talking to me!?" Dante was shocked, he had no idea whose voice echoed in his mind and he couldn't shake the feeling of familiarity.

"Follow your nature… My Son!" The voice echoed as the image of a black and white haired man in a tattered red military uniform was burned into Dante's mind and a glowing seal appeared on his back and from it, a long silver sword.

"Rebellion…" The name echoed in Dante's mind, he then took the sword from his back and swung it several times. "Alright, you demon bastard, let's get violent!" He smirked, eager to test out his sword on the demonic prison guard.

"I-Impossible!" The demonic prison guard was shocked and terrified; he recognized Rebellion's features. "How could he have Sparda's sword!?" he swung his axe at Dante, determined to kill him. "Even that won't save you!"

"Oh yeah?" Dante smirked and he dodged the demonic prison guard's attack, he then performed "Stinger" lunging at him at a high speed and stabbing him straight in the abdomen with Rebellion, killing him. "Damn sure it did!" He walked out of the Hellfire Prison. "Looks like it's time for a prison break!"


At a dark laboratory located somewhere at a secret location within Limbo City, A masked man with white hair, holding a sheathed katana was speaking with a middle-aged brown haired man in a lab-coat.

"The data you've provided me with is superb!" The brown haired man smiled, he was excited by the data that the white haired man had given him. "And you've given me so many demon DNA samples from mere Stygians to dreaded Dreamrunners!"

"It's the least I can do to repay you, Genjuro." The white haired man smiled and removed his mask to show his greyish blue eyes and a face identical to Dante's. "You did adopt me all those years ago."

"Just call me Dad, Vergil." Genjuro chuckled as he reviewed the data that he had just received. "It's because of you that my Final Boss project went so well." He smiled, excited by the progress of his project. "And the funding you've provided made all this possible!"

"All this is to free humanity from the demons." Vergil smiled; he too was glad that Genjuro's project was taking off. "With your new weapon, we'll be one step closer to defeating them."

"Fuka would've loved to join you." Genjuro sighed as he input several codes into the computer, activating the system for the next phase of the Final Boss project. "Are you sure letting her believe you're dead will keep her safe? She was devastated when she heard the news, you two were inseparable when you were children."

"I am the most wanted man in the world now… Mundus, the Demon King made sure that The Order I formed is seen as a group of terrorists." Vergil looked at Genjuro, he tried to remain calm, but hearing Fuka's name saddened him. "Knowing her she would have followed me…and she'd get dragged into all this, I can't keep her safe when beside me is the most dangerous place in this demon controlled world!"

"You really care about Fuka." Genjuro chuckled, he saw through Vergil's calm demeanor. "But your desire for revenge against Mundus and your wish to protect humanity is much stronger than your love for her."

"Mundus killed Fuka's mother… he murdered my birth mother and damned my father to endless punishment and pain…and he made life a living hell for my twin brother." Vergil remembered all of the pain and suffering that Mundus had caused both is real and adoptive families. "I have to protect humanity…or things like this will happen…again and again…"

"Then, let my Final Boss be of use to you and make Mundus pay." Genjuro remembered his wife's death, and all the suffering his family had gone through. "And then…please let Fuka know that you're alive, so she can hit you really hard with that bat of hers." He chuckled, remembering his daughter's violent tendencies.

"I'll make sure of that." Vergil chuckled as well, he knew all too well about Fuka's violent personality. "I'm actually here to visit the product of your Final Boss project."

"Ah, yes, Desco." Genjuro smiled, He was proud of his project's abilities and all the effort he had put in. "You really have been kind to her, I think she might love you as much as Fuka does."

"She will be very useful to me." Vergil nodded in agreement, the data and DNA samples were very hard to acquire, so he was confident in Genjuro's success. "Once I find Dante, we can finally put an end to Mundus's reign."

"She is the product of all my hard work, and my gift to Fuka." Genjuro smiled, he thought of his daughter's demands and her aspirations. "Desco will make all of her dreams come true."

"And I will protect humanity, and I'll make sure that the world that Fuka lives in will be free from all the evil that the demons, as well as the corrupt humans will bring." Vergil remembered all the happy memories he and Fuka had shared, which strengthened his resolve. "Mundus also robbed you of your sanity… each day I watch you fall deeper into madness…" He looked at the crazed workaholic Genjuro with a sympathetic expression. "I will free you as well…"


Vergil then walked out of Genjuro's office and wandered around the hidden laboratory until he found the Final Boss containment chamber, as soon as he entered, he saw a young purple haired girl with red eyes, red and purple material that covered most of her body, some of which had yellow eyes and tentacles.

"Hello, Desco." Vergil smiled, over his repeated visits, he had grown attached to her, and he always told himself he was merely evaluating her progress.

"Mr. Vergil!" Desco smiled happily and ran up to him and gave him a big hug; she was overjoyed that he had come to see her. "Desco's been waiting for you all day!"

"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Vergil placed his hand on Desco's head and gave her a warm smile, he was glad to see how happy she was. "I'm here now." He returned the hug.

"Desco loves you very much, Mr. Vergil!" She tightened her grip on Vergil, her cheeks were tinged a light pink as she did. "She will be the best Final Boss and she'll make you proud!" She smiled happily, being with him brought her great joy. "Desco is in love with Mr. Vergil." She thought to herself as her cheeks reddened.

"I love you, too." Vergil kissed Desco on the cheek, thinking that her declaration of love was platonic one, unaware of her romantic feelings for him. "I'll be going somewhere for a while, there's something I have to do, you'll be a good girl while I'm gone, right?"

"No!" Desco yelled out as she started to cry, the thought of being separated from Vergil was unbearable for her. "Desco won't let Mr. Vergil leave her!"

"I promise, I'll spend time with you when I get back." Vergil hugged Desco in an attempt to comfort her. "I'll come back for you…because you're very important to me." He thought of how her abilities were useful to his plan to defeat Mundus.

"Alright…" Desco forced a smile, She still didn't want Vergil to leave, but his promise made her feel a little better. "Desco will wait for Mr. Vergil."

"After all this is over, I'll introduce you to my twin brother, Dante." Vergil smiled, he was glad that Desco understood, and he then wiped her tears away. "You, Dante, Fuka and I, we'll be like a happy family."

"Desco gets to be your wife, right?" Desco thought to herself, she blushed as she glanced at Vergil, hoping that he would return to her soon. "She won't lose to Big Sis!" She remembered Genjuro's stories about Fuka's childhood with him.


At the center of a two towers that resembled wings, located at the heart of Limbo City, a muscular bald man in a black suit with a tattoo on his forehead that looked like three yes, was looking out of the window of his office.

"The Nephilim has escaped." The bald man heard the news of Dante's recent prison break and he was highly displeased.

"So, that Dante kid escaped from Hellfire?" A blonde bearded man in a red suit with a fur collar appeared out of thin air. "What are you gonna do, Mundus?"

"Not to worry, Nemo, the Hunters will find him soon enough, I am a God and he's a piece of shit." Mundus smirked, confident that Dante wouldn't pose a threat to him. "He will die…just like his mother."

"Everyone will die." Nemo smirked; he had his own plans for the world's future. "Human, demons, it doesn't matter, I will kill everyone!"


At the deepest part of the Netherworld, a black haired Vampire and a silver haired werewolf were having a conversation on the dire state of both the Human World and the Netherworld.

"Lord Valvatorez, it seems the amount of Prinnies has been increasing day by day." The werewolf was concerned by this development; he knew that this could disrupt the order in the Netherworld. "It's because those wretched humans have become so petty!"

"Indeed, Fernich, the humans have been getting worse and worse, and the flow of evil souls is flooding the Netherworld! We must act now!" Valvatorez saw that it was the time for action; he didn't want the Netherworld to fall into chaos. "As a proud and noble demon, to uphold the teachings of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda!" He held his cape up in a dramatic fashion. "I will correct this error with the power of sardines!"

"Talking about my old man and sardines?" A white haired man in a red coat walked into the room. "Good grief, looks like you haven't changed one bit, who would have thought that you'd be my client, eh Val?" The red-coated man smirked; he found the situation he was in quite amusing.

"Ah, Dante, perfect timing." Valvatorez directed his attention to the white haired man; he had something urgent to tell his old friend. "You will help me right this wrong and stop the flow of evil souls!"

"That's what I'm getting paid for." Dante smirked; he was excited for all the action that his new job would bring. "Also, meeting this other Dante might be fun." He heard the news of the black haired Dante. "Though, he obviously lacks my style!"
