Hello and welcome to another fanfic. This time, its RWBY and DMC. Now, I know many of you are wondering why I haven't updated RWBY Extella or Senki ZesshÅ Symphogear R. I have been swamped at my job. Someone quit, so now I'm working mornings instead of evenings. But don't worry, I'll get back to them as soon as I can. This story came to me after reading a bunch of DMC x RWBY fanfics. And after some suggestions from Yogwind, I proudly present Devil of Remnant.
As usual, I own nothing.

"You've heard about it, haven't you? The legend of Sparda? The heroic tale of a demon who turned against his own kind for the sake of humans. He then fell in love with a human and went on to have twin son's. But what many don't know is that he had a third child. A daughter. How do I know? Heh heh. Well, its because I'm her. My name is Eva Sparda. And this is my story. ...Phew! Jezz! Talking like that makes me feel like my bro Vergil. Ugh!"
-Patch-
In the outskirts of Patch, lives a family of four. Before, there was five people living in this house. A woman and her loving husband. As well as three young girls. However, the wife left on a mission...and never came back. Her name was Summer Rose. Leader of the legendary team STRQ. And second wife to Taiyang Xiao-Long. After being missing for weeks, Summer was declared KIA. Tai couldn't handle the news and began to drink in his depression. Enough to make even his brother-in law Qrow sick. Tonight being just like the others. Except for once, Tai wasn't drinking. Why? Because his daughters are missing. Late into the night, Tai went to check on them after waking up from a hangover. Only to find the beds empty. And on top of one, a photo of him and his old team. Tai, not being the huntsman he once was, asked Qrow to find them. After getting chewed out. Which leads us to now. With Tai pacing back and forth in the living room. He's been waiting for hours and hasn't heard anything from Qrow.
"Damn it! This is all my fault." Tai says.
Just when Tai thinks about going out to find his girls, the door slams open. Revealing a tall black haired man with red eyes carrying a young white haired girl covered in blood. Along with a young blond girl with lilac eyes and a red and black haired girl with silver eyes in a wagon. Immediately Tai rushes to the girls.
"Yang! Ruby!" Tai shouts in worry.
Tai then sets his sights on the third girl in Qrows arms. His eyes widen with horror.
"Eva!" Tai exclaims. "Qrow, what happened to her?!"
Qrow walks to a couch and gently sets the now named Eva down. The rest of the group gathers around her.
"Relax. She's still alive." Qrow says calmly. "It was touch and go back there."
"What? Happened?" Tai says impatiently.
"It was my fault." A small voice says.
The adults turn to Yang whose eyes are already bloodshot after crying the whole way back home.
"It wasn't your fault Yang." Qrow says gently. He then turns to Tai. "I got to them just before a pack of Beowolves attacked. I managed to get rid of them. But a stray tried to attack Yang." Qrow turns to the still slumbering Eva. "Eva jumped in and took a swipe to the chest."
Tai turns to Eva as he looks closely at her.
"Then what happened?" Tai asks. "Her hair. It's changed."
"Yeah. Guess you and Yang are the only blonds in the family now." Qrow says trying to lighten up the mood. He then gains a serious expression as he looks right at Tai. "IT happened Tai."
Tai's eyes widen in recognition. "You mean...?"
"Yeah. She's awake." Qrow says with a nod.
"Is Eva gonna be okay?" Ruby asks, not taking her eyes off Eva.
Qrow rubs Ruby's head. "Don't worry. She'll be okay."
Suddenly a groan is heard. Everyone turns to the now white haired girl who begins to wake up. She opens her eyes and looks around.
"Uncle Qrow? Dad? What's going on?" Eva asks. She then gasp as she sits up. "Ruby?! Yang?!"
Eva is then tackled by Ruby. "Sis!"
"How are ya feeling kid?" Qrow asks.
Eva, still being hugged by Ruby, blinks once. Then twice. "Hungry. When breakfast?"
Everyone just stares at Eva in silence for a few moments before laughing uncontrollably. The mood ruined.
After everyone has calmed down and Eva changing out of her bloody clothes, the Rose-Xaio-Long family sits down in the living room. The girls on one side and the adults on the other. Qrow had already laid into Tai about taking his eyes off the girls in favor of booze. Now it was time to get back to the subject at hand. Eva. After almost dying, the girl went from blond to white.
Qrow takes a swig of his flask. "So, bet your wondering why the sudden change?" After getting a nod from the girl in question, Qrow lets out a sigh. "We were hoping to explain this when you were older. But with your hair being the same color as a Schnee's, guess now's a good time."
Qrow looks towards Tai who nods with a sigh of his own.
"The truth is Eva..." Tai starts. "Your...not biologically my daughter. You were adopted."
Eva's eyes widen along with Ruby and Yang. The former still clinging to her like a teddy bear.
"D-Dad?" Eva asks in shock and confusion.
Tai takes a breath before he goes into his explanation. "You were left in mine and...Summer's care by your two brothers."
"I have brothers?" Eva asks with wide eyes.
Tai nods then continues. "Your brothers names were Dante and Vergil Sparda. You were actually named after your mother."
Qrow brings out his scroll and after taping it a few times, show a picture to the girls. The picture shows two man who look the same age. As well as an older white haired man and a blond woman. One has shaggy white hair and blue eyes. He wears a red coat and is holding a pistol with a grin. The other man has white hair and blue eyes as well but has his hair slicked back to show his fierce yet stoic expression. He wears a black coat with blue serpentine patterns with three separated coattails. In his left hand is a sheathed katana. Eva looks at the picture and notices the resemblance between her and the woman. The two share the same face minus the hair color. At least now.
"Your mom and dad were some of the best hunters around." Qrow says. "And your brothers were known as the Stylish Duo back in the day."
"W-what happened to them?" Eva asks.
Tai then goes on to explain the truth about her heritage. With Qrow jumping in from time to time. How they first met Eva's parents. And how the two fell in love and had Dante and Vergil. But the biggest bomb to drop was the fact that Sparda wasn't human or faunus. But something even more shocking. Sparda was a demon. Which means that Dante, Vergil...and Eva are as well.
Sparda. The legendary Dark Knight who turned against his own kind for the sake of humanity. Qrow and Tai then went on to explain how they met Dante and Vergil when they entered Beacon. Becoming the first two person team in Beacons history. The two hunters graduated and made their own shop that deals with demon hunting. Devil May Cry.
After many adventures, Eva and Sparda announced that Dante and Vergil would be getting a little sister. However, when Eva was born, the two showed up at Tai and Summers house looking worse for wear. Vergil had explained that they were attacked and were being hunted by someone who the brothers wouldn't go into detail about. The two elder Sparda's had stayed behind to give Dante and Vergil the chance to escape with young Eva. Fearing the safety of their little sister, they decided to leave Eva in Tai and Summer's care while they went to confront their enemy. After weeks without any word from them, Dante and Vergil were declared dead. Tai and Summer decided to raise Eva as their own along with Yang. Ruby would then be born years later.
By the end of the tale, Eva couldn't help but let a few tears drop. Ruby didn't understand most of what was said, but was able to pick out that Eva lost her mom too. As well as the rest of her family. Yang wrapped an arm around Eva and Ruby held on to her even tighter.
Tai then leaves for a moment and goes into another room. He comes back with a small box and sets it in front of Eva. Eva opens the box to find a few items.
The first was a photo of Dante, Vergil and their parents along with three woman Eva didn't know. The second item was journal kept by Vergil explaining more on his and Dante's escapades. The last item was a black amulet with a red jewel in the middle.
"These were supposed to be given to you when you started Signal Academy." Tai says. "But, given the circumstances."
Eva picks up the amulet and stares at it. Tai looks down for a moment before facing Eva again.
"Eva." Tai says. "While its true you aren't related to me or the rest of us, Summer and I loved you like our own." Tai then looks at Ruby and Yang who are still holding on to Eva. He then smiles. "And it looks like I'm not the only one who thinks so."
Eva looks towards Ruby and Yang who give her a smile. A few more tears drop from Eva's eyes before she too smiles. Knowing that even though they aren't related, they are still family. Qrow looks on with a small smile before it morphs into a frown.
"Oz is gonna wanna know about this." Qrow thinks
After the revelations are said and done, Eva, Ruby and Yang head to bed. Not wanting to leave Eva alone, the two girls decided to sleep in Eva's bed. The two sleep soundly while Eva looks at her amulet. She then looks at Ruby and Yang as her eyes narrow in determination.
"I swear, I'll protect you both. And everyone else I care about." Eva thinks. She then clinches her amulet. "I won't lose anyone else. I promise."
-Prologue end-
And done. Nice little prologue there. To clear things up, Eva was left with Tai and Summer days after Raven left. Eva and Yang are the same age with only a few days difference. I was originally going to make it so Eva would have Nero's Red Queen and Trish's Luce & Umbra to start off her training. But ultimately I decided to reveal her main weapons later. Next chapter will be the official start of this story. There will be a time skip to cannon RWBY with some Devil Arms being discovered already. Eva will not be at Dante or Vergil's level when the story begins. At best, she'll be at Nero's level in DMC4. There will be a pairing which will be a secret until after initiation.
Has anyone played Code Vein? Cause its awesome!
