A/N: Hello folks! This is my fanfic crossover with devil may cry and witcher. This had been lingering in my head for a long time after i played witcher 3 and decided to let it loose. I'm already engaged in a Halo/Mass effect crossover and this is my 2nd fanfic.
Before going into the story, i would like to mention what are all the things i'm gonna include in this story.
This story is a pure fiction and the characters are not limited to witcher and DMC franchise. It also includes other video game character(s) but still a witcher-DMC crossover. I'm doing this only to make the story line interesting. Character(s) apart from Witcher and DMC doesn't acknowledge their universe's story.
Also I'm gonna make changes in the character's attributes in both Witcher and DMC franchises.
The story takes place 28 years after witcher 3 wild hunt, blood and wine and after events of DMC 2. The story strictly follows the crossover storyline from here and not adapted from sapkowski's novels or already existing future story lines.
And finally, this crossover story line doesn't involve political conflicts. Only that involves witchers, sorcerers, vampires, demons and anything that constitutes magic.
...
Prologue:
Hell is divided into 7 realms. Each realm is ruled by the most powerful of the demons called 'Hell lords'. The seven hell lords are Argosax, Abigail, Belial, Lucifer, Mephistopheles, Seth and Samael. These hell lords are led by a sole leader, the true prince of darkness, the demon emperor...Mundus.
Several thousand years ago, There occurred a phenomenon called the conjunction of spheres where the gateway between hell and all the other worlds became opened. Following that was the great war between the forces of hell and all the other worlds of humans, elves, dwarves and the other worldly creatures. The demons were led by the hell lords and the dark prince Mundus himself. The hellish forces were overwhelming such that the other worlds suffered a great loss and were no match for the hordes of demons.
This is when a sole demon general rose up to justice after witnessing the mass slaughter of innocents and raised his sword against his own brethren. His will to protect the innocents unleashed his fullest potential and solely defeated the hell lords, higher demons, lesser demons and the armies of 7 realms and finally the dark prince Mundus himself. He then used his powers to seal the gateway and trapped all the demons in hell itself. Thus becoming the savior and earning the title of treachery. The demon was none other than the Legendary Dark knight - Sparda.
Earth was the only world suffered greater destruction. Seeing the threat of extinction of human race, he transported some of the humans to another world of different space and time for safety that had the same topography of earth. But the world was already occupied by a race of elves call the Aen Seidhe. After saving all the worlds from the demons, sparda set his journey to earth to rebuild it from the ashes.
He viewed that earth is the world that needs more protection because humans evolved and advanced so fast than most of the worlds and the main fact that it's the only world that has a lots of gateway to hell. The oldest being the 'Temeni-gru'.
As for the hell, Mundus is infuriated with sparda's treachery. Meanwhile the hell lord samael plans to dethrone mundus and take his place. In fact, samael is the most powerful of the 7 and next in line to the throne. Samael may be many things but he follows his own code of conduct. But that doesn't mean he is good guy. Even mundus considers him a threat. Other hell lords often suggest mundus in keeping samael in a short liege. If samael gets an opportunity, he might even become unstoppable. During the time of service to mundus, even sparda mentioned that samael must be kept on check than all the other hellish forces combined.
After several centuries, in the modern day of earth, sparda fell in love of a human woman named Eva. The both married and Eva was impregnated with twin sons. She named the younger one as Dante and the elder one Vergil. Before sparda's death, he gave Eva and his sons a momento for their safe keep. His Amulet, yamato and rebellion. He then finally perished from the world.
When Dante and vergil were 8 years old, Mundus sent demons to kill the three. Eva managed to save her sons, but they watched her die getting torn to shreds before fleeing. Dante swore that one day he would avenge their mother's death.
...
Then...
Story of DMC manga, DMC 3, DMC 1, DMCseries, DMC 4 and DMC 2.
...
Now...
Dante was trapped in the realm of Argosax. After killing him, he decided to find a way out by going deeper into hell. The throttles raised, the engines roar,
"Alright. Let's go all the way into hell!" said dante and rode his motorcycle at high speed in to the unknown.
Suddenly a swarm of basilisk demons appeared in front of him. He stops his bike applying a sudden brake and jumped out. The bike skid and flew over the demons thrashing them at high speed. He then immediately used his legs to skate on foot using the momentum he gained and swung his rebellion at lightning speed.
"Hoo..-hooooo!..." yelled dante in amusement cutting down the basilisk demons to shreds using his sword. The demons roared in pain while dying. Dante used exaggerated air somersaults and shot his favorite guns, Ebony and ivory at them. The bullet pierced the demon's body and in few seconds, Dante killed all 50 basilisk demons, standing amidst their pile. He holstered his guns, sheathed his swords and gave a smirk.
"Hah...Looks like someone's really pissed off!..." He gazed the surroundings which was filled with fire and brimstone and talked.
"Now to get off this place that stinks like rotten shit..." said dante and ran forward. The bike he came was destroyed when he threw it at the demons.
He ran as fast as his legs could carry. So far, he haven't encountered any demons. In the front at a distance, he saw a black void and stopped.
"Finally a ticket to home it seems!" said dante with smile and ran towards the portal.
...
In samael's realm - The Black stone.
"My lord. The son of sparda defeated Argosax. Now he's about to escape this place. Don't you think this is the opportunity to finish him off?" asked a demon minion.
Samael, The blood prince, the red demon with upside down wings kept his fingers on his chin and grinned.
"Hmhmhm...Perhaps, but he should live until my plans are done"
"But what if he stands in your way. He'll jeopardize your plans" said the minion.
"No..." He stood up from his throne and walked forward slowly.
"2 down...5 to go. Argosax and Abigail will need several decades to gain their strength and form. But that's enough time for me"
"But he proved himself by sealing away the dark prince himself, just like sparda did"
Samael got irritated and used a fire blast to incinerate the minion to dust. Other lesser and higher demons slightly feared his anger.
"Shut up filth! He may, but when i come to power, he wont stand a chance...hahahaha! He thinks, he's safe. I'll prove him wrong. As for his departure, he will not be going home" grinned Samael.

World of Aen Seidhe...
Events after the defeat of wild hunt and white frost...
Geralt found Ciri and together with everyone's help, defeated the wild hunt and also she stopped the white frost from consuming the world. Then she and geralt faked her death after ciri chose the life of witcher. Geralt taught her everything he knew and soon ciri became a well known witcher from yaruga to blue mountains. Emhyr learned of ciri's existence and both had a rough conversation. Ciri downright preferred the life of adventure instead of life of politics. Emhyr wanted to stop her but he knew he cant. Ciri's currently in zerrikania.
Then geralt accepted a contract on hunting down a higher vampire named 'Dettlaff' in toussaint. It is in this mission, he met his long time friend Regis, another higher vampire. Regis was resurrected by dettlaff after he was killed in stygga castle. But fate gave a sad end to dettlaff at the hands of geralt, who was then killed by the one who owed his life. On the other hand, duchess Anna henrietta rejoined with her sister syanna. Atleast a happy ending for them. Geralt decided to take rest in the carvo bianco vineyard. Regis decided to move east.
Geralt and yennefer spend their days happily ever after free from politics and bureaucracies in toussaint. He also take on witcher jobs regularly. On his journey to ofier for a contract to hunt down a manticore, he met a paranormal sage who taught geralt the art of psychics that helped geralt to see through the paranormal memories. Also in the mean time, he learned minor level sorcery using spells from yennefer which was helpful in many of his contracts.
Triss became advisor to king of kovir. Dandelion and Priscilla settled in with the rosemary and thyme, accompanying him are Dudu and Zoltan.
Eskel went to lormak and then who knows where. Lambert and Keira, young couple set on a voyage to god knows where. Letho also sets sail towards east after the battle at kaer morhen.
As for the war, Nilfgaard won the 3rd northern war. After Radovid V's assassination, the banner of golden sun flew everywhere. Temeria is freed of nilfgaard's control and given sovereignty. The Skellige isles bloom under Cerys an craite's rule where she prefers pen instead of sword.
As for the current lodge of sorceresses members not much is known about their current location.
Now (Year 1300...), 28 years after defeat of wildhunt
So far, geralt had taken up around 80 contracts in 28 years all of which paid him a lot. The most notable ones are manticore in ofier, a slyzard in kovir, A higher vampire in toussaint, A shape shifting demon that was prowling the city of vengerberg which he himself found it as a pain in the ass, A powerful curse that was threatening the entire town of flotsam which geralt found it had been cast by a powerful sage centuries ago which is the reason it suffered a lot in the recent times.
Such was the life for geralt, he became addicted to monster hunting than earning coins out of it.
"Geralt! You should take some rest" said yennefer. Both were now in carvo bianco, a well flourished vineyard estate.
"I will...after hunting down a few more monsters" replied geralt with a smirk. Yennefer chuckled at that.
"Looks like you are more than enough to clean the world of all monsters, no need for conjunction, white frost...eh?" said yennefer in a mocking tone. Geralt raised his eyebrow at that. Yennefer was packing some of her belongings.
"Going somewhere?"
"Yes. To Ellander"
"Wha-?..Why there?"
"To meet with nenneke. It's been a long time...since..." yennefer dragged her words
"Since you and nenneke trained ciri at the temple" finished geralt. Yennefer nodded.
"Fine. Anyhow i'll be staying here for a couple of days and planning to go to novigrad to see dandelion. Before that, I'll drop on to velen too" said geralt.
"Right. Then see you after someday" replied yennefer and shared a kiss with geralt. She then took off in a horse. Geralt decided to roam the lands of beauclair.
...
In the unknown realm of hell...
Dante stands in front of a black spiraling portal. He was gazing at it for quite sometime.
"'SIGH'...Where this's gonna take me?" dante asked himself in doubt lokking down and then lifted his head straight as he made a decision.
"Well...One way to find out". Dante enters the black void and is vanished.
In a few seconds, he comes out of the portal in joy thinking that he had come home only to meet disappointment.
"What the hell is this!?" yelled dante. The place he was now looked too weird. There were destroyed buildings some burning places, floating stairs, platforms even upside down structures and stairs. Dante slowly took his dual guns out and looking here and there.
"Huh...Didn't imagine my day like this!" said dante to himself. He could also hear distant screams of human voices. The place was dark as full moon night. He slowly walked forward. Suddenly black horned demons in spectral form with bright crimson red eyes charged towards dante.
"Alright bitches! let's rock!" said dante and he charged at blinding speed towards them and started using gunslinger.
The demons lunged towards him but dante fired bullets filled with demonic energy that incinerated the spectres. More and more ran towards him. He used damaged and floating structures to kick jump into the air and storm them with bullets in hurricane attack that burned the black spectres. Then he run towards the hordes of spectres and unsheathed his rebellion. He started swinging his sword that cut the spectres clean to halves. Dante's movement was fluidic that he connected the sword from one demon to another in a stylish manner. Then suddenly from floating pillars, the spectres lunged towards him. He readied his stance and snapped the finger of his left hand. Suddenly everything slowed down around him. Then he leaped and started slashing the demons in a consecutive streak and landed to the ground. Everything reverted back to normal. But the spectres simply fell down and vanished.
Dante then stood on his feet, holstering his guns and sheathed his sword. Then he knocked the dust out from his body.
"Wonder how many surprises i got. Never seen anyplace like this before" said dante. He then started walking forward only to feel an earthquake, but the ground was fine. In the distance, he saw a big centuarian-minotaur like creature running fast towards him roaring. But it stopped after seeing dante. It was also black in color but it's body was visible. Black smoke coming out of it's nostrils. Dante was staring at it for some time and suddenly started laughing.
"HAHAHAHA...! It's been a long time since i last saw an ox!" said dante. The demon snored.
"You may jest, son of treacherous sparda. But when i get my 4 legs up your ass, there will not be a bone left to even stand" grunted the demon. Dante then folded his hands and then spoke.
"Oookaaayy! I was starting to get bored. Why don't we play 'El Toro'?" asked dante in a jest. Then he raised his red coat to his right like an el toro mocking it with a smirk.
"AAAAAHHHH...you will DIE!" yelled the demon and charged towards him at great speed.
Dante gave a faint smile and took the stance of the royal guard. He channeled all his rage in his hands and when the demon closed the gap, dante performed a royal release that caused a blast in the demon's body knocking it back with a great force and speed to a greater distance. The demon roared in pain and grunted before getting back on its feet.
"You may carry the blood of that traitor, but here i'm the absolute power!...RRHHAAAAAHHHH!"
Again the demon charged in front. Dante unsheathed his sword, ready to counter, but what happened suddenly next was even blinding for dante. A sharp flash that cut the demon into two. The demon halted all of a sudden. Suddenly blood was gripping out, and the demon fell split into two. Dante was tracing as to where it came from.
He then suddenly saw a green and black armored humanoid figure that stood with it's sword in a posture. Then it casually walked towards dante. As it came closer, it was clear for him to see. Dante's face slightly turned serious at the sight. He can never forget the green and black cladded armored being. It was on mallet island he first fought him and released him from mundus's slavery. He's none other than his twin brother vergil. The being's armor slowly faded away and revealed a man in a blue warrior's jacket.
"No way!"
"Why dante? After all...i'm dead" said as the man walked towards him.
"Vergil! What the hell are you doin in this rotten place". He then looks up. "Strange. This place doesn't look like hell"
"Coz it's not" replied vergil. Dante immediately looked at him in confusion.
"What do you mean it's not?"
"This is neither the place for the dead or the damned, but for hatred". Dante looked at his brother frustrated.
"Huh...I can clearly see that you are in the mood for petty riddles but i'm not. I just burned up my ass fighting argosax and thought the portal i came through would take me home. Instead it dropped me into who knows where" said dante in a cool yet annoyed tone.
Vergil nodded his head in disappointment.
"You haven't changed a bit. Same arrogance and impulsive". Dante chuckled at that.
"What does it matter?" asked mockingly which he didn't care.
"This place is called the 'Limbo' "
"A what?.." asked dante
"A place very much isolated from everywhere" replied vergil. There was a slight pause. Dante's thought went somewhere.
Dante and vergil fought each other even to death, but for a moment, it was joyous moment for him to see his brother again at least as a dead man after so many years.
"Wait! We fought 3 times on mallet island and the last thing i remember is you were brainwashed by mundus and i killed you...regretfully" said dante with a slight frown in his face.
"I'm thankful to that..." he then turned away walked a few steps and then started talking. Dante was confused.
"After you killed me the 3rd time, i was freed from mundus control. But..." he again turned towards dante "I was dead already and all i felt was wrath for my failures"
"How did you get here then?"
"I was expecting the void for eternity, but i woke up here and even i don't know how...But i know how to leave, but the only thing is...i couldn't"
"You mean you are trapped here?" asked dante to which he nodded.
"Looks like i'm trapped here too. But i need to get back to earth"
Dante and Vergil disliked each other to the core, but only in their opinions. In fact they deeply cared for one another like any brothers would. Vergil really didn't want dante to be trapped here so he decided to help.
"Yes, you don't belong here...You are not dead...are you?" said vergil with a chuckle.
"You can do that?" asked dante.
"Yes. Like i said, I know how to get out of here. At present there's one portal that stays open for quite sometime. You can get out of here through that"
"Then what are we waiting for?" asked dante. There was a slight pause.
"Follow me" said vergil. Both dante and vergil moved deep in to the limbo. On the way they a lot of mysterious flying creatures and wandering souls. The place looked very much like death's lair.
Finally they reached a place where they saw a black portal similar to the one dante saw in argosax's realm. The portal was spinning between two pedestals.
'This is it. This portal should take you back to earth". Dante looked at his brother confusingly.
"Should? You are not sure?"
"I told you i know this portal will lead you out of the limbo, but not where". Dante was annoyed with this, but he had to try something. No matter the differences, he always trusted his brother.
"Great!..." gritted dante.
"I'm helping you dante. This portal would get you out of this limbo. You will be safe"
Dante was staring down for quite sometime.
"What are you looking at?"
"Thanks for your help...brother and sorry for what happened to you"
"I dont need your gratitude or condolence. Now go!" said vergil out cold hiding his emotions. He always considered human emotions as weak. After his death, he regretted for failing to understand what it means to be human when he was alive. Dante gave a chuckling smile at that and then walked towards the portal, but suddenly stopped and turned.
"I'll find a way to get you out of this place. I promise" assured dante to which vergil stood reaction less.
He enters the portal and gets vanished. No one knows where his journey will take him, but one thing is for sure. He's far from the end of his path.
