I in no shape or form own the settings or characters of Devil May Cry or Fate/Stay Night


RedRat8: Didn't want to make her too OP, well she is already OP though...but if anything, she has better physical stats meaning she can trade blows on equal terms with a berseker without ever needing to rely on her noble phantasm, also a tad bit of increase in regen.

LightofPurgeandShadowofEmbrace: They're not in Fuyuki, they're in Dante's city, how the war was held there will be explained in the coming chapters, hehe I don't wanna spoil it with a reply so please excuse me. The story will probably just go the DMC3 route with encounters from other masters, the participating masters will converge on the tower at one point or the other.

coronadomontes: Thank you! please continue reading!

ultima-owner: you bet!

mega1987: Nope! you're not alone! xD

Suzulu4moe: You'll get to know soon! I don't wanna spoil it! so please keep reading! it'll be explained!

Nelo Angelo DMC: I haven't watched Akame's anime version, so I really don't know how different it is from the manga version, I have a story involving Vergil planned after this story though. I'll keep your idea in mind! thank you for the suggestion.

DevilMayCryrocks: Hmmm, not sure at the moment, I left alot of plotholes in the story, a lot of mistakes, grammar and story wise so I'm really not sure, if anything, I probably need to revamp the chapters before updating it once more.

: Maybe, maybe not xD

Guest: I'm not entirely...um, soaked in deadpool's character so I have no idea how he would act, react etc except for breaking the fourth wall, I also haven't seen or read highschool dxd so my apologies ^^ I don't think I can do that.


Chapter 1: A whim


A young woman in her late teens stood before him, her hair golden as the sun and her eyes as beautiful as emerald's, armor covered her whole body and beneath it was a gown marred in azure. Her boots made of metal pressurized the wooden floor beneath her and slowly, elegantly, she locked eyes with the azure eyes of the young man before her. Dante's breath hitched at the sight, slowly she opened her mouth to speak and he stood mesmerized unable to comprehend the situation.

"I ask of you..." she began "Are you my master?"

Dante drew blanks at the statement, for one thing, he was mesmerized by the young woman in front of him and the second, he had no idea what he had gotten himself into and so he asked the only thing that came to him at the time while pointing at himself.

"You talking to me, babe?"

"There is no one else here" the woman replied, curtly.

The young woman's steely gaze never departed from the half naked man in front of her, his whole upper body lay bare but thankfully his lower half was clothed in cargo pants and rough brown boots, blood however was leaking from his wounds as the blades around him fell to the floor. Her first thoughts of the young man was that he was shabby and uncouth, at least his appearance was. She blinked once more as he rubbed the back of his neck and let out an agitated sigh.

"Where the hell did she come from?" Dante thought to himself, he blinked looking to the scabbard that lay behind the woman, his blood was marred on it and his eyes narrowed "So that's how..."

The woman however slowly grew agitated at being ignored and steeled her voice once more, placing emphasis on her words "I will ask you again." she began and Dante looked at her.

"Alright babe, listen, you probably got the wrong place, I don't know who your maste-the hell!?" Dante blinked, suddenly assaulted by a sense of pain in his right hand, he tore his glove off immediately blinking at the red markings that ran across his hand, "The hell is this!?"

"A command seal...then there is no mistake" the woman thought, her emerald eyes narrowing on the young man's right hand.

"Our contract is complete, from now and until the end of this war, I will wield my blade solely for your fate, to protect you..." She finished, Dante blinked, suddenly taken back by the statement, he was confused to say the least and his concentration had departed

"Wait..." Dante began, "did you just say 'you'll protect me'?"

Saber simply nodded her head and Dante chuckled in amusement "Thanks but no thanks, babe" he began and he slowly walked past her to the desk behind her "I don't need any protection, especially from a little girl..."

"Little girl?" Saber questioned, anger suddenly rising up within her "I am not a child, I have fought in bloody wars long before you were even born! what gives you the right to call me little!?"

Dante just looked back at her, all the while, removing his blood red coat from his rack "Well for one thing, you're pretty short...heh"

"My stature has nothing to do with my maturi-"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say" Dante interjected, cutting her off, leaving her infuriated and before she could retort, on stepping forward, she blinked and looked down. her eyes widening

Her breath htiched on seeing the scabbard below her drenched in blood, kneeling down, she saw blood and then she understood, the young man's blood coupled with the scabbard had called her, whatever remained of the summoning circle had all but dissappeared, emerald eyes narrowed on him as her thoughts singled on the entity before her

"I see."

Standing to her full height, she watched as Dante dusted his coat and then questioned him "Your blood summoned me?"

"And what if it did?" Dante questioned once more, glancing back at her, now thoroughly done with dusting his trademark red coat. She finally reached her boiling point and she snapped at him, annoyance and rage flowing through her voice.

"Why are you being so haughty and nonchalant about this? have you not summoned me to take part in the war for the holy grail, master?"

Dante's attention was finally captured by the young woman and he turned to look at her, letting out a sigh "There it is again..." he began and the woman drew back in surprise "What?"

"That war thing...what the hell is it anyway?" He questioned, annoyed.

She blinked a few times incredulous at him, unable to believe what had just transpired and what had exactly escaped from his mouth. "Inconceivable, does he really not know what is happening? or why I was summoned for that matter." She glanced at him, the confusion on his blank face was visible, letting out an audible sigh, she looked to him. "He isn't lying..."

"Very well, I will explain it to you..."

"I get to listen to a beauty like you? well..." he remarked, slowly sitting on the table before him "normally I'd pass but now I'm all ears" The sudden comment about "beauty" had caught her off guard but she shrugged it off and looked to him, silencing him with a glare,

"Seven magi take part in this war summoning servants to aid them in the quest of gaining the holy grail, the holy grail in itself is an object with the ability to grant a single person's desire, whatever the wish may be." she explained

"Servants huh?..." Dante mused, before Dante could make a comment on the subject, the woman cut him off almost immediately.

"Yes, servants...heroic spirits that are summoned to do battle to gain the grail, we have each won fame or have accomplished a great deed beyond human ability, whatever the means, we have reached the rank of gods by our own strength..."

Dante remained silent, taking her explanation in, his father came to mind, was it possible that his father too had become one of these "servants"?

"But that is also to our disadvantage, as we are heroes, our names have been recorded and revealing our names, our identity means revealing our weakness. Each of us also have a class of our own, Saber, Archer, Caster, Rider, Berserker, Assassin and finally Lancer, a total of seven classes" She stated and Dante sat amused and uninterested, he once again looked to her as if silently asking her to explain what class she was.

"My class is Saber" came the almost immediately answer, Dante just raised an eyebrow in surprise "Saber huh...so? you like using swords or something?"

"Precisely"

And Dante blanched in surprise, he wasn't hoping to get it right but he did and that itself deserved praise, well in his mind at least. "So, what does this do?" he asked her, pointing to the red markings that ran across his right hand

Saber let out another audible sigh, it was as if she was talking to a child "That is a command seal, it gives you three commands that makes a servant obey without question..."

"Heh..." Dante smirked "so I can make you do anything three times huh? how about a kiss then?"

"Watch your tongue, I will not forgive your vulgarity" She remarked, her gaze now completely leveled into a glare, she was initially caught off guard by his request but she didn't falter for she felt as if she did, he would've taken advantage of her. "To think of wasting the command seal on such a lewd proposal, does he not know how stupid that is?! is he playing with me!?"

"I didn't say anything. I just asked for a kiss, is that such a hard thing?" Dante remarked, bringing up his hands in mock defense "For a pretty noble lady, you've got a lot of di-"

"Enough!" Saber reprimanded him, "Master or not, I will not forgive such disrespect!"

"Fine, fine...whatever you say, goldylocks" Dante answered, simply smirking at the annoyed Saber.

"Goldylocks!?" Saber questioned, surprised and annoyed at the title. "such a title is-"

"You got a name?" he asked, cutting her off almost immediately, she glared and then proceeded to speak once more.

"It is impolite to ask someone else's name without giving one's own" she remarked, placing her hands at her hips and Dante let out an audible sigh

"Well then, the name's Dante..." he answered, amusement laced in his voice

"Dante...I see" she said, she looked thoughtful for a moment and then snapping her head up, she leveled him with a glare "regardless I do not wish to share my name even with my master, it would be disastrous if my identity was revealed to the enemy when in battle" she answered and then continued "However you may call me Saber..."

"Alright, goldylocks it is then.." Dante answered, thoroughly enjoying poking fun at the enraged servant.

"Do not-"

"Yeah, yeah...I heard you the first time, so tell me" Dante began, cutting her off "this grail, can it grant anything?"

Saber slowly composed herself, irritation flowing through her veins "This boy! no!...I will not allow him to have his way, I must remain calm" slowly composing herself, she looked to him once more

"Yes, anything that the winner of the war desires..."

"So tell me..." Dante began, looking at her square in the eye "you don't have a wish?"

"I-..." she stumbled, looking away from him "I do..."

"Heh, alright then" Dante smirked "So what does Vergil want with this grail?" he glanced to the small potrait that lay next to him, Saber didn't let it go amiss and she too glanced to the potrait, in it laid, a photo of a woman, her hair was as golden as Saber's, wearing a black gown with a blood red shawl covering her shoulders and a smile that could melt even the heart of a demon, Saber however looked to the young man in front of her, her eyes narrowed

"White hair...and that face, could he...possibly be"

Dante however gritted his teeth. "Is that what he's thinking of doing? bringing mom back?...," he thought to himself, now agitated, he grabbed his coat and ignoring the woman beside him, he treaded to the exit of his establishment.

"Wait!" she called out and Dante glanced at her "What now?"

"It's not safe for a master to-"

"Listen, goldylocks, stop calling me your master, I don't like it, you can stay here or follow me, I don't care either way, just don't get in my way, I got a score to settle.." he remarked and with a loud thud, he kicked the door of his establishment, she watched in surprise as he held out his right hand and almost immediately, a sword arrived from the rack to his right, on taking a closer look at the sword, she blinked, the style was demonic which caused her to confirm her previous suspicions, walking through the door, he nearly disappeared.

Saber unable to comprehend the brashness and the moodswings of the young man stood confused, letting out an audible sigh, she knelt down and placed her right hand on the scabbard beneath her, the next second, it vanished with a golden light "Avalon...finally" slowly standing up, she looked to where Dante had dissappeared too

"I ended up with a difficult one this time...he infuriates me but..."

And slowly she walked to the exit of the establishment, intent on following Dante.


Outside the shop, Dante was met by a myriad of hell prides, simply smirking and his coat draped over his right shoulder, he began walking to the center but not before the upper column of wall from his shop collapsed behind him, he glanced back, his eyes widening every so slightly and slowly bent his head in mock sadness.

"Damn it!" he stated "you guys totally wrecked my shop and I haven't even named it yet!"

And slowly he turned around, enraged, tossing his sword up, with multiple swirls, he tossed his coat around and wore it, the back end of his coat fluttering in the wind, once worn, he lifted his arm into the sky and grabbed rebellion as it fell to the ground, holding it, he pointed it to the ground but not before he sneezed from the dust that had been built up around him from his flamboyancy,

Saber had seen his show boating and didn't exactly know what to make of the young man, she stood dumbfounded and when he sneezed, she blinked as a low rumbling graced their presence, she looked up and immediately jumped to the side to avoid a big chunk of debris from falling onto her, gasping in surprise, she looked to the rock and then to Dante who slowly looked back to the building.

"My shop!" he screamed in agony, gritting his teeth, he slowly looked to the hell prides that surrounded him. "I hope you have enou-"

"Master!" a shrill scream nearly made him face fault over and he blinked and looked back to see Saber levelling a glare at him "Wha-"

"Does the term "caution" not apply to you!? I was nearly crushed by those debris!" she shouted at him, enraged at his recklesness.

"Well you shouldn't have followed me in the first place, how was I supposed to know that would happen!?" Dante retorted, now thoroughly irritated himself leading to Saber to blanch in surprise, incredulous at the statement that had departed from Dante's lips.

"Why you!..." Saber thought out enraged, "Fix that attitude of yours, you uncouth child!"

The hell prides on the other hand stood baffled at the mixed exchange going on in front of them, looking to each other and then to their marked target, they honestly didn't know what to make of the matter, it was as if they were watching a child being reprimanded by his mother not that they had seen such a thing in the first place, so the current exchange baffled them to no end.

"Stop nagging me already! can't you see I'm busy here?!"

"Nagging!?" Saber exclaimed thoroughly surprised, it immediately turned to anger "I'm complaining about how reckless you are! I wouldn't do so if you were actually cautious! a master behaving so childishly is unacceptable!"

"Damn..this lady...she makes Nell look better." Dante thought out in irritation and then he pointed rebellion to the hell prides in front of him "Sorry, I'm a bit annoyed right now so I'm gonna beat the crap out of you, okay?"

The hell prides simply tilted their heads in response and in the next second Dante jumped into the fray, when he had begun fighting, Saber blinked, her stress and annoyance now relieved, she was free to think clearly and on doing so, her eyes widened on seeing the hell prides.

"What? are those demons?" she whispered in surprise "Why are demons appearing during the holy grail war? did another master summon them?!"

And before she could reach a conclusion, the hell prides were all but defeated, Dante placed rebellion over his shoulder and looked on bored "Is that all?...man, what a-" he blinked as a screech echoed through the confines of the city, Saber looked on as well, surprised by the drastic turn of events, she looked to Dante who suddenly grew cautious much to her surprise.

And finally the enemy had shown itself, a being taller than the hell prides, the hell vanguard, carrying a purple scythe, it's whole body was covered in a blackish hue as if darkness itself was it's clothing, Saber slowly stepped forward feeling that Dante would need her help, without a warning and with a smirk, Dante jumped in, clashing with the vanguard, scythe and sword clashed while sparks eroded the area, Saber stood quietly and watched him fight.

"He's been trained...well, there's almost no openings"

Dante on the other hand was enjoying the fight, the vanguard was putting up a much better fight than he expected, "Heh, you're pretty good" and once again they clashed, but this time, the vanguard pulled back, it's hand stretching outwards and it aimed for Dante's head, with a well timed roll, he rolled to the side and drew out ebony, he moved to pull the trigger but not before it disappeared completely into thin air. Dante blinked and slowly stood to his full height, a small ripple appeared on the ground which Dante was oblivious too but not Saber.

"Below you!" she shouted

"What?!" he gasped in surprise to see the ripple beneath him, he narrowly dodged to the side but not before the ripple appeared behind him, he glanced back, he was caught "Shit!"

And as soon as the vanguard appeared, Saber jumped into the fray, with one single slash, the vanguard skidded away from them, visibly wounded. Dante's eyes widened, she had saved him, his gaze lay on her back and he watched as she glared at the demon in front of her.

"Why is a demon like you here?" she questioned to the vanguard and her answer came all too swiftly, the ground beneath her began to shake, buildings began toppling and debris fell, she nearly lost her footing but the sudden opening was all the vanguard needed as it moved to strike her down, her eyes widened as a gun shot tore through the air straight into the face of the vanguard and it screamed in pain and jumped away from them from building to building until it disappeared

"We're even.." Dante called out from behind her, rotating ebony over his finger, he placed it back in his holster, Saber just looked back at him and before she could retort, the shaking began once more as buildings toppled and a massive tower emerged from the ground, Saber's eyes widened as did Dante's who slowly stood to his full height and walked in front of her.

His eyes narrowed and he could see a blue figure peering down at him from the top of the tower, he grew irritated "Vergil...it's been two year's since we last met, where does the time go?"


Up above the demonic machination, Vergil peered down onto his younger brother, his eyes narrowing as thy locked eyes, even far away; their gazes did not falter "Soon Dante..." calmly, he thought to himself, from behind him, heavy footsteps trotted it's way to him, he didn't turn back, he stood calmly as the footsteps grew louder and louder and then stopped right next to him, am massive armor of white and red stood next to him and a muffled voice called out to him.

"So that's your brother huh? master?"

Vergil didn't answer rather simply remained quiet, peering down at Dante from his lofty height, the voice, now annoyed called out to him once more "The least you could do is answer!"

The blue coated devil looked to the armored figure next to him, spared it a glance and then simply walked away "Just do as you are told"

The figure didn't like his mannerisms, it didn't like how Vergil's manner of speech and coldness reminded it of someone, someone it hated, detested. It looked down from the tower and sparing Dante one last glance, followed after Vergil.


"What is this tower?." Saber whispered in surprise.

"Guess that's where the party is.." Dante answered, glancing back at her, he wasn't smirking, he was serious and Saber just looked on as he began to move forward.

"Wait!" she called out and Dante stopped.

"Yeah? he asked

"I have no reason to see why you wish to go alone, is it because you dislike me as your ser-"

"Oh man, geez, listen.." he began, slightly annoyed, turning around to look at her "I don't dislike you, infact I'm really starting to like you since you saved my ass and all but I really don't care about being a master or whatever the hell you wanna call it, I don't care about this war either..."

"Then why have you taken part in it?" questioned a surprised Saber, now thoroughly confused as to why she was summoned to the young man's side.

"I didn't" Dante answered, looking at her plainly "Someone sent me an invitation to a party and guess what that invitation was, babe?" he called out to her, smirking "You were it"

"But then why do you fight if you're not taking part in this war?" Saber questioned him, utterly confused at the young man before her, Dante looked at her, "Does it really matter?" he asked her, thoroughly annoyed by the barrage of questions.

"It does! why do you fight if you have no claim in this war? and if by chance, you end up winning then what do you propose to do with the holy grail?!"

"I don't really care about the grail, didn't you have a wish or something?" he asked her, changing the subject almost immediately

"Yes but..."

"Then fine, there's my reason, you happy now?" he asked her, in a mocking tone. Saber blinked, suddenly taken back by his answer, she pursed her lips and began to speak once more "I do not understand...are you saying you will fight to get the grail for my sake?"

"If it makes you stop nagging me all the time then yeah..." he answered nonchalantly.

She blanched in surprise, utterly terribly confused at Dante's answer, he had decided to fight for her sake on a whim, without no plan and without any purpose, she didn't know what to do, he was an enigma to her, they locked eyes for a moment, confusion in one pair and amusement in the other.

"I do not understand you..." she began, her voice reaching a low whisper "how can you decide something of this magnitude so casually!? you do not even know what my wish is!"

"Then all you gotta do is tell me when you want to" Dante answered, once more, smirking. Her breath hitched at his answer, confusion blinding her "Why...why does he act like this is nothing of concern to him? it's as if consequences and rewards are irrelevant to him, how can he decide such a thing on a whim!?"

"So you done? cause I'm gonna get going...can't be a rude guest and have my brother waiting, now can I?" he asked her.

"Brother?" Saber questioned in surprise.

"Yeah, chances are whatever that tower is, it was my brother's doing and this war? he's in it too and by the looks of things" he glanced around with a smirk and then back to her "That pretty much isn't a good thing"

"If your brother is in this war as well then it's possible that he too has a servant" Saber interjected, hoping to finally make Dante listen to reason. "So he was lying by not having a reason to fight, he wants to stop his brother..."

"And what if he does?"

"You will need my help, regardless of how skilled you are" Saber explained, Dante slowly let out an audible sigh and turned around "Do whatever you want...but if you're going to tag along, don't call me your master..."

"I see.." Saber answered, she stood thoughtful for a moment and looked to a retreating Dante "Then..." she paused for a moment and called out to him "is it acceptable to call you by your name?"

Dante stopped once more, surprised and then glanced back to her "Do whatever you want" he smirked and then began his treak once more and then she called out to him "Wait" he stopped once more, looking back at her simultaneously letting out an audible sigh "Man, again? what now?"

"You said you would win the grail for my sake, for my wish..."

"Yeah, I did, so?"

She glared at him, her emerald eyes piercing his very being "You will regret it, Dante...I promise you will."

"Does it look like I care?" he asked her and then smirked, beginning his trek once more "Try to keep up, goldylocks"

Saber looked on annoyed but then with an audible sigh, she too began walking forward treading behind the young man. It was going to be a long night for the both of them.


AN: So that was chapter 1! I hope you liked it! as usual! any questions, leave it in the reviews! I was playing through Fate Hollow/Ataraxia, it was very well done, I loved spending time with all the characters, it was an amazing experience, if you guys haven't played it yet. I hope you do when you get the chance. Avenger's character was amazing to say the least, he reminded me alot of DMC3 Dante for some reason, then again all protagonist's who are lazy and laced with sarcasm do. Anyway! till next time! ^^
