A/N: Greetings everyone. This is my first DMC fan fiction! I've had the urge to write about Dante and Vergil for the longest time, but I think I'm finally going to go through with my urge and write! Since not much is explained about Dante and Vergil's past I wanted write my own version of it. I'm going to cover all of the DMC timeline except for the anime, since I've only seen four episodes of it. I might add a little bit about Nero when I get into the DMC4 area (since there will be lacking of Vergil), but my main focus is Dante and Vergil throughout the story. Also, I am aware that the timeline is filled with MANY plot holes and other errors, but I'm going to try my best to write this anyway!
Warning: THERE WILL BE SPOILERS FROM ALL THE DMC GAMES, NOVELS, MANGA, and possibly the ANIME in future chapters.
Disclaimer: I do not own DMC or any related characters. I merely am just a fan of the wonderful series.
Prologue
"…Give it to them when they are old enough." A deep and strong voice echoed.
The sound of rain and thunder outside couldn't be heard over the tense feeling in the room. A beautiful, young woman with long, elegant blond hair and blue eyes walked over to the wall and stared at the droplets of water pattering against the window. The dim lamp near the window made shadows appear all over her red sweater and long black dress, adding to the depressing atmosphere in the room.
"Sparda..." The woman said, nearly crying.
"There are still demons out there. It's my duty to get them under control." Sparda picked up a large sword and headed towards the door.
"Yes, I know that…but…" She trailed off and ran over to the man, embracing him with all of her strength.
"I love you Sparda…please…it doesn't have to be this way…you can come back!"
"Eva. Listen to me, there will always be demons. Let me do what I need to do. I love you and our sons. Please, raise them well. I will never forget the time we have spent together, my love." Sparda gently put his hand under Eva's chin and locked his lips with hers in one last kiss.
"I will try to come back. I may not return…if I don't, I'll leave it up to you to decide who gets my weapons." He gave her one last smile before leaving.
Seven years later…
The sound of the blaring loud television filled the house of the Sparda family. It wasn't a typical Saturday mourning for the mother and her two twins. It was the twins' seventh birthday. Eva decided that this Saturday would be the day she would give her twins, Dante and Vergil, something that belonged to their father. Dante was wearing red pajamas and Vergil was wearing blue pajamas while arguing about the television.
"Gimme the thingy Vergil so I can change the show!" Dante yanked on the remote.
"No. I was watching this first!" Vergil yanked back. The result of the yanking on the remote control for the television led to the remote flying into Dante's bowl of cereal.
"Dante!" Vergil yelled.
"That wasn't my fault…MOMMY!" Dante started to run toward their mother's room in tears.
Eva was still trying to sleep. She had the pillow over her head trying to drown out the mixture of the booming television and her sons' loud arguing. Sometimes the two were really hard to deal with. The pair barely ever got along to begin with, but it was on the weekends that they really fussed with each other.
'I really wish Dante and Vergil would just get along sometimes…then again, they are little boys.' She thought to herself while she tried to get some sleep again.
"MOMMY!!!!" Dante pounded on the door while he cried up a storm.
Eva snapped out of her wishful thinking of sleep and her twins getting along, motivating herself to get out of the bed. She rushed to the door to see what was wrong with Dante.
"What's wrong, sweetie?" She asked while bending down to Dante's height.
"Vergil made the remote fly in my cereal bowl and he won't let me watch what I want to watch!" Dante sniffed.
Eva sighed. Those two really couldn't get along, could they?
"How long has Vergil been watching what he wants to watch?" She asked.
"I dunno. I wanna watch my show!" Dante huffed.
"Let's go talk with Vergil, ok?" She smiled.
"Ok mommy!" Dante smiled.
Eva and Dante walked through the hall and past the bathroom to reach the living room. Vergil was still sitting on the couch watching television while the remote was still floating in the soggy, milky cereal.
"Hi, Vergil." Eva smiled and greeted her other son as she entered the room.
"Ha! Your in trouble now Vergil!" Dante laughed.
"He's not in trouble Dante. I just want to have a talk with both of you. Before we have this nice little talk though, let me clean up this mess." She gestured to the slightly spilt cereal bowl with the remote still floating in it.
Dante went back to watching the television, no longer caring what he was watching. Eva took the bowl out to the kitchen with the remote to clean it. The soggy cereal dripping from the remote wasn't a pleasant sight. After she cleaned the remote up, she took the remote and some cleaning supplies to help clean the table. She tossed the paper towels and cleaning liquid off to the side and shut of the television with the remote.
"Hey!" Dante said.
"I was watching that mom!" Vergil huffed.
"At least you can't watch it now!" Dante stuck his tongue out at his brother.
"Shut up Dante!" Vergil looked like he wanted to attack Dante.
"Dante, Vergil, that's enough." Eva slightly scolded them.
Clearing her throat a little bit, she went over to the closet in the living room and pulled out a couple of wrapped boxes in the closet, along with a box of chocolates. One present was wrapped in blue and the other was wrapped in red. To help tell the twins apart, Eva always color coded them. Vergil was always blue, and Dante, red.
"Vergil, Dante…Happy Birthday!" She smiled.
"Cool!" Dante said smiling.
"Wow!" Vergil exclaimed.
Dante took the red package, while Vergil took the blue package. Dante took no time to start ripping away at his package, ignoring the nicely fitting ribbons. Vergil slowly opened his, being careful not to rip the ribbons that his mother spent time wrapping around the package. To Dante's surprise, there was only a box.
"Hey, all I get is this dumb box with my name on it?" Dante pouted.
Vergil finished unwrapping to find the same thing as Dante, a plain white box with his name written on the top of it.
"Maybe there's something inside the box?" Vergil turned to Dante.
Dante shook his box slightly to hear something rattle and bang against the sides of the box. Dante picked at the tape that kept the lid on the box until the tape came off. He slid the lid off to find a silver necklace with a silver amulet with a red jewel attached to it. Vergil was already slightly ahead of Dante in opening the box. He had the same thing as Dante, except his was gold instead of silver.
"Neat! What does it does it do?" Dante poked the amulet with curiosity.
"Does it light up?" Vergil asked.
"Oh! I want chocolate!" Dante eyed the chocolate box that Eva sat on the table and grabbed it.
"No, I want the chocolate!" Vergil grabbed it away from Dante. "It's mine!"
Vergil ran out of the room with both this amulet and the chocolate box. Dante immediately chased after Vergil screaming at him to give him the chocolate.
"No chance." Vergil opened the chocolate box.
"No!" Dante pushed Vergil.
Dante pushed Vergil into a closet door in the hallway, causing the chocolate box to fall out of his hands along with the amulet. The closet door came open at the same time.
"Ow!" Vergil grabbed his amulet.
"Whoa…" Dante had wide eyes and stared at something in the closet, completely forgetting about the chocolate.
"What?" Vergil turned his head to see what Dante was looking at.
Inside the closet were two swords. One sword was rather large with a long and wide silver blade. The hilt had a skull head towards the middle where the blade was. Coming out from the end of the hilt were many spikes. The other sword was more like a katana. The thin sword had a sheath on it that had a yellow ribbon tied around it. The hilt had on it a silver and black pattern.
"Cool!!!!" Dante screamed.
"Wow!" Vergil blinked in amazement.
"JACKPOT!!" They screamed.
Eva heard all of the commotion and jumped off of her seat to see what the twins had done now. Whenever they exclaimed "Jackpot" she knew the two of them either found something really cool, or accomplished something questionable. It could even be a combination of both, knowing them. When she got to the hallway area, she saw both Dante and Vergil in the closet where she hid Sparda's two swords. They were both trying to pull the swords out of the closet. Dante tried to take the big sword while Vergil wanted the katana. For once, the twins were actually not arguing over what they wanted. That made Eva a bit happy for a second, until the thought kicked in that they were playing with swords.
"Dante! Vergil!" Eva yelled.
The yelling startled both of the twins. Dante stopped poking the big sword and it slid down from its position. It stabbed Dante in the foot. Startled by all the commotion, Vergil dropped the katana he had almost gotten out of the closet.
"OW!!!" Dante yelled.
"Dante!" Eva ran over to him and moved the sword out of the way.
Dante's foot had been sliced open fairly well by the sword. His toes were covered in blood, staining a bit of his pajama bottoms and the floor. Eva was about to carry Dante to the bathroom when his injury slowly started to heal. Eva had almost forgotten they were part-demon. Part-demon…she had never explained that to them yet.
Dante stared down at his foot in awe as it healed rapidly. Dante poked his bloody but healed foot in amazement.
"Wow…my foot doesn't hurt anymore, mommy!" Dante smiled.
"Dante…" Eva sighed.
"Do we get these swords, mommy?" Vergil asked his mother.
"Yes, but not until your ready for them." She said.
"Cool!" Both of the twins yelled.
"Yes, they are cool." She paused. "They belonged to your father…so did the amulets I gave both of you."
"Amulet?" Dante blinked and paused in thought. "Oh! The shiny necklace things?"
"Yes." She smiled. "Now, let's go clean you up Dante."
"Ok!" Dante cheered.
After Eva cleaned Dante up, she sung happy birthday to her twins and took them out for pizza. The day continued with Dante and Vergil doing whatever they wanted until they wore themselves out. When night finally came, Eva tucked in her twins and went to bed her self with one last thought before drifting into sleep.
'Sparda…I wish you could have seen your sons today. I gave them their amulets and they saw your swords. I think…things are going to be fine without you here with us.'
A/N: There we have it. The peaceful days of Dante and Vergil…well…as peaceful as it can get anyway, lol. The next chapter will be the death of Eva, taking place two years after the prologue. After Eva's death will be the start of Dante and Vergil's separate stories. I can't wait to write the fighting scenes and their own histories. Also, thanks to my friend/beta for checking for typos and errors, Alli-Dunno.
Please review! I know this part was a bit boring, but most introductions are boring. It will get better! I'm putting my heart into this story and I would like to continue it.
