Okay guys! A new fic that I have been DYING to write. I have the first few chapters set out so I'm hoping I can have this one finished sooner rather than later.
Alright so this is basically a crossover fic with Devil May Cry and Onimusha Dawn of Dreams. I can't label it as a crossover fic yet because they haven't set up the Onimusha Dawn of Dreams portal. I'm hoping that I can post as a crossover soon!
Alright so this is set in Feudal Japan basically after the whole batte between the Black Oni and the God of Light. For those who have played Onimusha Dawn of Dreams it might make a little more sense. So basically what's happened is that the bad guys who were beaten with their tails between their legs want revenge on the Black Oni, Hideyasu or Soki as he refers himself to in the game. So they've summoned the help of a devil (Vergil) to come and take Soki out.
Little did they know that another devil was waiting to greet them from the other side and now he's loose in Feudal Japan. How will this work out? Well you'll have to find out as you read.
There WILL be slight pairings later on in the fic so you'll have to wait and see.
Please do enjoy!
It was the beginning of the 16th Century in the heart of Feudal Japan. The city of Tokyo was merely beginning to build up with buildings and houses by the people who needed these places to live in order to keep their lives in order.
Just in the outskirts of Tokyo was a large and looming castle that looked over the entire city and all other life around it. Dark storm clouds formed around the castle as though trying to ward off a great evil that threatened to bring chaos and fear to the people of Tokyo and Japan.
The castle was tall, intimidating and often frightening to look into for too long. Deep purple cherry blossom trees were planted all around the front entrance of the castle as though the beauty of these trees were trying to give life and comfort to the dark castle. The cherry blossoms bloomed only once every year; sometimes with nothing more than a month of life in the beautiful flowers. But these trees that were beginning to bloom had a strange aura about them. They seemed larger and with much more life and light radiating from each tree.
The people who passed the castle or set out to admire the trees often thought that a servant to a hideous prince planted these trees whilst they were nothing more than small sprouts to bring beauty and life to the castle so people who walked past wouldn't feel as threatened or as frightened if they hadn't been planted.
Deep within the castle walls and up the very top of the castle was a room with an open balcony that could look over all of Tokyo and then some.
A man stood on the balcony away from the edge looking out at Tokyo and the life inside the city. He had a long sleek fan that he often opened and closed as though to amuse himself with. He had a traditional princely garb on with what appeared to be remnants of a large insect incorporated onto the garbs. His eyes held nothing but boredom as he stared down on Tokyo, waiting for the arrival of a promising ally... or so he hoped.
"Hey! Mitsunari!" Came a voice not too far away. The man came up the stairs and stared at the back of Mitsunari. The man had shaggy black hair with an eye patch that covered his right eye. He wore an almost western style warrior outfit with two sleek black sheaths concealing deathly sharp katanas. "I thought you said he would be here by the next moon." He looked around and turned back, a crow landing on his shoulder. "Well I don't see him. Is he hiding away shaking like a newborn kitten?" He cackled and threw his head back, the crow croaking and flapping its wings.
Mitsunari turned to the man his eyes sharp as though to pierce right through him. "Enough, Muninori. It is not time yet." He smirked and closed his eyes. "Besides the journey from the other side is a long one. We must be patient and wait."
Muninori sighed and threw his head back, wandering around the room. "I don't understand why you need a demon from the other side to complete the mission! I would have been better than a demon!"
Mitsunari looked at him unapprovingly. "Just like when you were defeated by Hideyasu and Akane? Hm? That was certainly interesting to clean up."
Muninori growled and bared his teeth. "That was uncalled for you mutated human centipede."
Mitsunari shook his head and tapped his chin with his fan. "No need to be behaving like spoilt children now, Muninori. I hired you to stand guard with the new one and that is exactly what you shall do. Failure to complete your task and you will regret it. Am I understood?" He sent an intense glare towards Muninori.
He growled and nodded curtly. "Yes. I understand."
"Good. Now go and make yourself useful." He flicked his wrist and turned back to face the open balcony. "Just wait, Hideyasu... I will destroy you this time. No amount of Oni magic can save you." He smirked and watched as the intense purple light hit the beauty and splendour of the cherry blossoms down below.
Hours into the early morning had passed by. Mitsunari stared down at Tokyo still his eyes dark with deep black bags forming underneath his eyes as he waited patiently for the arrival. He looked back slightly as a slumped figure entered the room.
"Sir Mitsunari. The portal! It has opened." The slumped figure looked as though he was the darker side of priest. He wore a priestly garb that sat over him evenly. His smile was fearful enough to scare the likes of most evil minions.
"Very good, Frois." He turned sharply on his heel to follow after the priest. "How far away is our friend from arriving?" He asked with a slight amused and excited look in his eyes.
Frois led the way. "N-not very far my lord! If I am correct with my calculations he should arrive within the hour. Mind you the portal took longer than.. than I had anticipated to open." He stopped in a room with a swirling purple vortex on the back wall.
Mitsunari stared at the vortex and narrowed his eyebrows. "Come now. You may come through."
They waited for the next few minutes as they passed slowly. A hand suddenly emerged from the vortex and took hold of the side of the portal frame. It gripped onto it tightly as though the vortex was trying to send them back.
Mitsunari frowned. "Come through."
"Well... if you insist..." Came the voice from the other side. Out emerged a zipping figure with a maroon jacket with a sword clenched tightly in the halter on the back. The figure was fast enough to leave a blur behind them with each movement. "Catch this, demon!" They leaped onto the wall and leaped off, a smirk on their lips as they pulled for two guns; a deep purple black gun and an ivory silver gun.
"Sweet dreams!" They fired round after round at Mitsunari and Frois.
Mitsunari growled fiercely and opened his fan, the bullets ricocheting from the metal like material of the fan and into the wall and the windows. "Is this a joke!"
The figure landed on the ground and smirked. "You tell me." He raised his guns and pointed them at Mitsunari's head. "Because I just love to involve myself with demons from another universe." He laughed and got ready to fire another round.
As his fingers nearly pressed down on the triggers another figure zipped through the portal. He wore a long three tailed blue jacket with red velvety material lined inside. He had his hair pushed back and his face was serious and angry looking.
He dashed forward and pulled out his sword, hitting the man in the maroon jacket dead on with it. "Now leave..."
The man groaned and pulled back, landing on the windowsill. "Well, catch you later." He smirked. "I have a bigger party to get to anyway." He jumped out of the window.
Mitsunari looked to where the man had left and turned to face the figure in blue. He smirked as the sword was put away back into its sheath. "Well... it was nice of you to finally join us. I take it your journey went well?" He asked as he led the figure back up to the top room and set himself down on a chair at an old mahogany table.
The man in blue stayed standing staring at Mitsunari. "I am not here for your petty revenge on this demon. I am here merely because you offered me something in return for his capture."
Mitsunari nodded. "Ah yes." He stood up and walked to the man. "If you complete this task like I order you will have all the infinite power you can get your devil hands on, my friend." He tapped his shoulder with his fan.
The man growled and slapped the fan from him. "Do not think you own me or that you think I owe debt to you. I am here to get the job done any way I can. And if that means taking all of you out at the same time.. then so be it."
Mitsunari smirked. "I think you and your new bodyguard will get on just fine." He clicked his fingers shrilly, the sound echoing through the room. "Muninori!"
Muninori entered the room his face contorted with anger as he stared at the new figure in the room. "That's it? You hired this scrawny bastard to complete something I could have done in half the time?" He stared at the figure and narrowed his eyebrows, the eye patch on his right eye moving with his facial expressions. "So what's your name, blue boy?"
The man looked him piercingly in the eye and narrowed his thick eyebrows. "Vergil."
Muninori cackled. "Vergil! You call that a badass name? I've carved things up with my katanas scarier and more menacing than you!"
As that was said he was suddenly slashed across the abdomen. Muninori gasped and fell to one knee, looking back as Vergil returned his sword to its sheath. "I don't take lightly to people like yourself thinking higher than me." He turned to Muninori. "Get in my way and I will kill you."
Muninori growled and stood up, wobbling a little before he finally followed after Vergil, growling back at Mitsunari.
Frois watched on with slight fear and looked up at Mitsunari. "A-are you sure this is a good idea? What if he turns on all of us?"
Mitsunari smirked and closed his eyes, playing with his fan more. "Oh he will cooperate Frois. You see even if he does complete what I have asked he will still need to prove his worth." He stood up and walked to the balcony looking down on the city. He then narrowed his eyebrows. "Although with the arrival of that other one... this may prove to be more of a challenge than I had anticipated."
Frois bowed a little. "But... but he could just have been sent here out of mistake master Mitsunari. I am sure the other devil will not attack us. H-he may be here for another reason. Just as we summoned Vergil this other devil may have been summoned also."
Mitsunari closed his fan and lowered it to his side. "Yes... but the question is who?" He curled his upper lip in a nasty snarl. "We are coming for you, Hideyasu."
Frois turned in a frenzy as he heard the sudden low cackle. "S-sir Fortin...Fortinbras?" He shivered a little.
Mitsunari looked back also as a figure emerged from nowhere dressed completely in white with a light purple glow around him. "You are forgetting, Mitsunari, that the demon world from which you summoned these devil's from is yearning for the power of the Black Oni." He walked forward and stopped at the balcony. "Ah what a lovely view tonight. What with the cherry blossoms in full bloom."
Mitsunari almost glared at the back of Fortinbras. "What do you mean by that, Fortinbras?" He walked to stand beside him, his head coming up to Fortinbras's shoulder. "Is there another power from these devil's we should know of?"
Fortinbras smirked, his eyes lazy with his hair gelled back lazily. "Aside from the obvious fact they are not full devils?" He looked to Mitsunari through the corner of his eye. "Though the blue devil may complete his mission this red devil your have summoned has a strange human aura to him. As though he wants more to be the human half of himself than the devil half."
Frois shook a little. "I-I don't understand what you are saying, s-sir."
Fortinbras sighed a little and turned his attention back to the cherry blossoms. "I knew you wouldn't understand, Frois. You are but a simple puppet in our plan. In case you both have forgotten our target is also a half devil if you will call it." He looked up at the storm clouds easing a little. "If this red devil you have summoned by accident destroys our target then... we may have further use for him."
Frois clapped excitedly. "Experiments? Well you know since my successful experiment escaped from me because of that blasted Hideyasu!"
Mitsunari opened his fan and flicked it at Frois, cutting him across his neck. "Enough about your blasted experiments!"
Fortinbras frowned disapprovingly. "Both of you should stop. Before I destroy you both with a flick of my wrist." He looked down as the sun decided to slowly rise bit by bit in the tired sky. "No... we can use this to our advantage." He turned to Mitsunari. "Have Muninori keep an eye out for this red devil! Have him monitor his behaviour... and if he does approach Hideyasu... Well this could work to our advantage."
TADAA! First chapter complete! What did you guys think? Good? Bad? Meh? I tried my best to keep all of the characters... in character. haha. Muninori isn't hard to keep in character. He just cackles all the time and wants to kill and rape everything. He's such an annoying character in the game x.o
And for Devil May Cry fans I really REALLY hope that I kept Vergil and Dante in character. Dante is so fun to write and draw! He's such a goof off but so bloody powerful! I love it!
Well this is chapter one. Next chapter I will be introducing Soki and I will explain a little more in that chapter!
Thanks guys! Please review to tell me how I did! Feedback always helps me for improvement!
