'When did this happen? We were going to win, how did this all go wrong? Vermila, Nero, Dante, and Lady I don't think I'll make it to victory pizza. Damn and we were going to get Hawaiian this time too.' Y/n thought as he drifted aimlessly into the eternal darkness that was Mundus. The events that have lead up to this split up the devil hunters. After the boat they found themselves in a strange room, Dante ran over to a seemingly injured Trish but was trapped in a barrier to fight a giant blob. The blob was ugly but it was still better looking than Arkham. Dante told Y/n to run ahead and that he'd catch up. Y/n despite what he thought listened to Dante, running ahead to face Mundus alone. Upon finding the Demon king's thrown, Y/n challenged Mundus.

"So the spawn of Heaven and Hell has come to challenge me alone?" Mundus let out a laugh. "I would have expected the son of that treacherous Sparda to be with you but he appears to be busy. And I know all too well why your here."

"Oh yeah then what is it then? If you know so much why am I here?" Y/n spoke to the statue already with Renegade and D/S drawn.

"You wish to give the daughter of Sparda back her soul," as he spoke a bright blue sword appeared. The glowing sword was bound by thick black chains that seemed to pulse with nasty purple veins. The soul sword struggled against the chains. "And I'll-"

Before he could continue talking Y/n used Quicksilver to rush forward quickly grabbing the sword that was Vermila's soul with his hand as he dropped Renegade. Using D/S he was hacking at the chains and pulling on the soul, using his Trigger to finally break the chains freeing Vermila's soul. What he didn't notice was that the chains didn't break, until they were wrapping around his right hand with D/S in it. Mundus had broken into Y/n's time causing it to deactivate.

"Neat little trick but it'll take more than some parlor trick to stop me. Now I have you."

Y/n reacted quickly throwing Vermila's soul as it darted off to reunite with her. Y/n drew Dokuhebi and tried slashing at the chains on his arm but they simply wrapped around his left arm too.

"Even if you have me you no longer have Vermila. I can't imagine how pissed you are at losing your trophy of Nelo Angelo." Y/n struggled against the chains but he was being dragged into the shadows. The Nephalem was summoning swords like crazy as they stabbed into the chains and exploding, volley after volley but they had no effect. The hunter was up to his neck but right before he was pulled all the way under he said, "Fuck you!" And with that he was fully sucked into the darkness.

Now Y/n was floating through the endless shadows. Time seemingly lost it could have been minutes or hours sense he had been trapped, unable to move unable to fight. Suddenly pain struck through his body like every nerve was on fire, dipped in acid, and then struck by lightning. Y/n was forced to Trigger to try and keep himself together as his very soul was being forced to split.

"RRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" The echo of Y/n's bellow was all that rung out in the darkness. The Nephalem's body and soul being ripped and sewn back together repeatedly. But his transformation could only do so much as parts of the Nephalem were taken faster than his trigger could pull them back. Bright dots sparked across the hunters eyes the pain was immeasurable. The worst part was it was all dampened by the boost of his trigger and his energy was fading fast. Trigger flickering in and out this was the end his energy was depleted, his consciousness only being active from the pain but even that was fading fast.

Right before Y/n was gone a sudden light pierced his eyes, he was grabbed, and jerked around then feeling the jud as they landed. Then he was roughly dropped, his senses slowly returning as he filled his lungs with oxygen he didn't know he was missing. First it was touch as he felt the cold marble him his hands, next it was smell as his nose was bombarded with the the stench of demon blood, then the muffled voices became clearer someone was talking to him while someone was screaming in the background. Taste and Sight came back around the same time, tasting the iron of blood, and as his vision cleared he saw arctic blue eyes and snowy white hair.

"---ok? -/n! ---ome on --ve! Y/n you have to move!" The voice came in clear as Y/n became aware of his surroundings. The familiar sounds of Ebony and Ivory popping as they were fired the sound of Dante's snarky remarks. The sound of Mundus getting irritated as Dante was hopping around like a cracked up jackalope. Someone was helping Y/n get off the floor looking over he saw none other than Vermila with faint blue lines on her face, the color returned to her skin, and she was still in the black armor. "Come on Y/n you gotta start moving!"

"V-vermila? Haha it worked." Y/n said as he regained his barings. "Your back, man Nero's gonna be siked about this." Y/n spoke slightly delirious.

"Quiet, now open up your mouth."

"Why?"

"Because I said so"

"That's not a rea-OFG." Y/n was cut off by Vermila shoving a Devil star in his mouth. The taste of flat grape soda filled Y/n's mouth as his energy was restored.

"There now hurry up. I know you've been through a lot but we need-" before Vermila could finish she was interrupted by Y/n giving her a bone crushing hug.

"I missed you. So so much." Y/n said as he buried his face in the crook of her neck. Vermila simply hugged him back relishing in each other for comfort.

"Hey I could use a bit of help!!!" Dante shouted off in the distance causing Y/n to remember that they had to fight the ruler of hell.

"Yeah, right sorry there." Y/n got up and dusted himself off. Y/n points at Mundus. "Oi you lazy bastard! No one is allowed to suck my soul out of my body! Except her." Y/n switched from pointing at Mundus to Vermila. The fighting stopped for a second as Mundus was confused, Dante had a laugh, and Vermila was shocked for a few seconds.

"EEEEHHHHHH!" Vermila said shocked as she punched Y/n in the back of the head. "Don't speak in such a way."

"Ahahaha ow that was totally worth it." Y/n chuckled as he walked over and picked up Renegade and struggles to summon D/S. "That's weird, but it's probably nothing."

Vermila pulled the giant blade off her back that she wielded as Nelo Angelo, preparing for the fight as Dante jumped back to join them.

"Does this remind anyone else of a certain tower?"

"Us three against a giant purple themed demon?"

"Indeed it does." Vermila responded. Mundus stood up from his throne throwing his arms out spreading his wings causing the room to shatter revealing a space like dimension. "Excuse me gentleman while I play my theme song."

(A/n: alright I don't think I gotta say this but I don't own this but it's really awesome. Bury the Ultra Violet Light)

Mundus launched a massive beam at the three, as the beam stopped the trio were all transformed. Being exposed to hell gave them all a power boost like a phone connected to the charger, Y/n felt something was off the other two were far stronger than he was. To make up for this difference he decided to use Doppelganger. Dante and Vermila rushed at Mundus as Y/n struggled to summon forth his demonic shadow or his angelic light. Deciding to ditch the idea and rush in.

That's when Y/n noticed something, Dante looked a bigger and more demonic than his previous Trigger.

While with Vermila the Nelo Angelo armor seemed to fuse with her as four wings sprouted from her back. Unlike Dante's she didn't get bulkier but she was still massively powerful.

Y/n himself also took on a new form although a bit more hellish than normal sense his power was being boosted by hell itself. His semi- helo formation long gone as his horns almost angrily jutted out, his yellow eyes were now a hellfire orange, and his fangs were more needle like. Renegade was in a constant state of releasing power as it continuously absorbed energy from the demon world. Y/n's wings were both scaly.

"Today you pay for what you did Mundus!"

"For what you did to me and our mother!"

"Prepare yourself children of Sparda, and son of Selene!" The name of his mother being uttered by Mundus shocked the Nephalem. "You were going to be my son until that bastard Helios took her away, now I shall wipe free the stain from history that is Sparda's and Helios's lineage!!" Mundus prepared to attack launching a beam at the trio once more but they all dodged and rushed at the giant Demon king. Vermila and Y/n kept up a constant volley of summoned swords as they slashed at Mundus. Dante helped cover them by firing scarlet bursts of magic at the demon king. Y/n was using D/S and Renegade to slash at Mundus in correlation with Vermila. Mundus swung at the two Vermila dodged but Y/n got hit sending him flying but Dante quickly rushed in to cover for Y/n. The Nephalem quickly corrected himself as he switched to Dokuhebi.

"Mundus! You disgust me with the mere thought of you procreating, let alone the thought of you being my father!" Y/n said as he crouched into a familiar draw stance. Dante and Vermila plunged their swords into his body at the same time. Force Edge seemed to change for a second before returning to normal. "Now Mundus, ITS TIME FOR THE FOOLISH KING TO BE LAID TO REST!!! YOU SHALL DIE!!!" With that Y/n quickly drew Dokuhebi and D/S executing a Judgment Cut: End. Vermila then summoned hundreds if not thousands of summoned swords before sending the astral blades plunging into Mundus's body while Dante was hitting Mundus right in the face with the crimson blades on his arms. Dante flew back somehow summoning a giant Dragon to attack as the summoned swords went flying and Y/n attacked. Mundus was hurt so in a last ditch effort rained down fire balls as he shot his eye lasers.

Vermila being the fastest and most agile avoided the attacks with little difficulty. Y/n was able to avoid most but still got shot in the leg and wing so he got caught in the fire ball rain. And Dante got shot three times with his bulkier body making him easier to hit and knock down.

Upon crashing Y/n and Dante were knocked out of their Devil Triggers, Vermila landing next to them before exiting her trigger herself.  All three were panting hard trying to catch their breaths as Mundus ascended from the sky into the volcano.  The demon king didn't say a word as he started laughing as he attacked. Dante used the Force Edge to help himself up but then he noticed that it changed.

(Imagine it as the one you find most visually appealing)

The trio didn't have time to question this development as they jumped out of the way as Mundus launched floating orbs at them. Hopping on top of the rocks Y/n and Dante got close to Mundus, Dante using the power of Sparda to Trigger and make massive slashes hitting Mundus. Meanwhile Y/n, being the genius he is made a huge summoned sword with D/S as a base and joined Dante in hacking at Mundus. Vermila saw an opening and took it using Darkslayer to dash forward and taking off while Triggering, she drove her giant sword strait into the open cavity in Mundus's chest. Once the sword was in Vermila quickly jumped back with Y/n and Dante as Mundus rose into the air screaming before he exploded in a flash of light. With Mundus gone the three returned to the throne room. Dante immediately took off towards Trish, who was apparently deceased. As Dante reached her he kneeled down and picked up her head.

"My mother risked her life for me. And now you too. I should have saved you. I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with liiiight!!!" Dante had a voice crack in the end. Vermila and Y/n both visibly cringed at his words. Dante had tears fall as they landed on Trish's cheek, Dante then took off his amulet and placed it on her chest.  "This was my mother's. Now I'm giving it to you." Dante then took Sparda and stabbed it into the ground.  "My father's also here now. Rest... in Peace."

"Are you sure that is a smart idea," Vermila placed a hand on her brothers shoulder. Even though she knew who Trish was it was still hard to see her mother's face lifeless once again. But just because she was emotional doesn't mean she was irrational. Suddenly the whole room started to shake.

"I love the sibling bonding here, but we should really get going this place in collapsing!" Y/n shouted at parts of the ceiling fell. The children of Sparda quickly ran towards the exit with the Nephalem. Upon reaching the exit Dante and Y/n ran through the exit while Vermila stopped looking at the sword of her father, the very reason why she rose the Temen-ni-gru. It was right there the power she wanted. Vermila shook her head

'no I'm not risking my family again for some stupid sword!' Y/n watched with worry until she shook her head and jogged over. Letting out a sigh of relief as he ran to catch up.

-time skip brought to you by Nero waking up in the morning in a Sparda themed onesie, even though he's ten onesies are comfy-

After running through one too many rooms that pulsed like flesh, the three used to be mercenaries arrived in a room that was close to the main hall. When they entered the room it collapsed in on itself the three hunters fell into the sewers below.

"Shizzle sticks we're trapped!"

"Oh druull."

"Crap!!" Dante finished. Across the sewer a magic circle appeared with symbols flashing across it before a giant and reached through grabbing the edge and pulled through it's body. The body was cracked and broken holding itself together by a lava looking goo. It was Mundus. "Not you again!"

"We just beat you!"

"Have you not already learned your lesson?!" Vermila grit her teeth. All three drew their swords Dante with Alastor because he left Sparda with Trish. "I told you Dante that leaving the sword was a bad idea."

"Ah I'll never hear the end to this one." Dante smirked.

"The Gate has been opened. Dante, you are not getting away. THIS is where you will DIE."

"I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE! BESIDES, THERE'S NO PLACE TO GO, LOOK AROUND! THIS WILL BE YOUR BURIAL GROUND AS WELL!" Dante shouted back.

"THIS IS OUR FINAL STAND MUNDUS!" Y/n said as he pointed Renegade at the Demon king. "And before we go I'll be giving you a one way ticket back to hell!"

Vermila was the first to rush in to start hacking at Mundus. She was soon joined by Dante and Y/n. It didn't take long for them to realize that they couldn't defeat him, not with their powers limited by the human world. Even in Devil Trigger it wasn't enough as they couldn't reach the level of power as before.

Mundus quickly gained the upper hand, slamming Y/n and the twins into the wall with his many hands.

"You cannot win here your powers are too weak! Now I shall finish what I started long ago!" Mundus prepared to finish off the children and student of Sparda, until a bright flash of yellow lightning broke Mundus's grasp on them. "You insolent pest!"

"Dante, Vermila take my power and finish off Mundus!" Trish shot all her energy into the two children of Sparda.

"Mundus you say you killed Helios and Selene, my father and mother well now THEY'RE GONNA SEND YOU BACK TO YOUR KINGDOM OF STENCH AND FILTH!" Y/n pulled out Helios and Selene, named after his parents as Dante and Vermila put a hand on his shoulder. "Dante can I say it just this once?"

"Knock yourself out."

"Jackpot!" Y/n fired the revolvers as the bullets shot, one glowing white and blue, while the other was glowing Red and Black. The shots hit Mundus dead on, destroying the remains of his shell leaving behind a orange and purple goop that hat three eyeballs.

"I will return... And I will rule this wwwoooorrlllddd..." Mundus shouts as he was sucked into the portal.

"Goodbye! And when you do come back, give my regards to my son, will ya?" Y/n said as he watched Mundus go. Blowing the smoke from his guns Y/n spun them into their holsters. "Man if only plot could save us from such a terrible end."

"What are you talking about Y/n this isn't a book." Vermila responded.

"Well it's not like some vehicle that could carry four people is just gonna-" before Dante could finish a plane fell from above them. "Convenient...."

"Don't question it hop in!" Y/n said as the four piled into the cockpit. "Dante you still remember how to fly right?"

"Oh course I do. Now buckle up!"

"Wait sense when could Dante fly a plane?" Vermila asked.

"Well dearest, you have been gone for almost 9 years." Y/n responded as the plane flew through the caves with Dante shooting down the stalagmites. Before long they flew out into the air. Noticing Dante and Trish having a "moment" Y/n decided to talk with Vermila. "So uh Nero he's gonna flip when he sees you."

Vermila seemingly froze at the mention of their son. "So how is my little hellion?"

"He is smart, almost a bit too smart. One heck of a mouth too. But he's a good kid, strong very strong." Y/n watched as Vermila smiled. "Well what's to be expected when he has an awesome role model like me?" The question was rhetorical, but Vermila still answered.

"I would expect anything less," she looked the Nephalem up and down finally noticing his attire. "You know those clothes,"

"What about them?" Y/n asked looking at himself.

"Nothing just, you look very hmm how do I put it, Smokin' hot as some would say." Vermila kissed Y/n. Needless to say despite her being covered in armor, Dante and Trish were thankful the back and the front were separated.

-time skip brought to you by Nero helping Lady with Lunch-

"When will they be back? It's been nearly a week sense they left." Nero was spinning around in a stool that was in the kitchen.

"What's wrong you getting sick of your auntie already?" Lady joked.

"No, it just Dad and Dante never take this long."

"So your worried, aw that's precious." Lady continued her teasing. "Don't worry Nero it's simply a long trip that's all I'm sure they'll come busting through that door any minute with a box or two of pizza and tell you all about their little misadventures."

As soon as Lady said that the doors of Devil May Cry were kicked open and a familiar voice yelled out.

"WE'RE BACK!"

"Dad!" Nero all but flew from his seat to greet his father and his uncle. "What took you so long? Did you get lost-" the tone almost immediately died from his voice as the 10 year old locked eyes with another set of arctic blue. The same snow white hair.

Vermila was nervous when they were walking up towards Devil May Cry. When the doors were infront of them she was preparing to run in the exact opposite direction. But her plans her foiled when Y/n burst into the building. Almost immediately she saw him, the same blue eyes, and white hair. Something caught her eye was the red and blue scales on his right arm but she didn't care.

"Mo-"

"NERO!" Vermila was over picking up the young Tribrid and holding him close as though she never planned on letting her son go again. This would have been sweet if it wasn't for Vermila's armor that Nero had his face slammed into. It took Dante, Y/n, Trish, and Lady to convince (*cough* pry *cough*) Vermila that Nero needs to breath.

Nero was also estatic about his mother's return. Introductions and catching up we're done over Pizza which was eaten faster than any human family could. Nero was catching up Vermila on all of his achievements and stories. Having had a tiring and eventful week the devil hunters plus Trish turned in early.

Vermila not really having any clothes simply opted to "borrow" a pair of Y/n's shorts and a shirt after her shower. Y/n soon flopped onto his bed after his own cleaning. Noticing the daughter of Sparda Y/n does the only sensible thing to do and tackled her. Upon tackling the child of the dark knight Y/n simply held her close as he fell asleep. She herself didn't mind because she felt safe. Both soon fell asleep, planning to get some rest after their busy week. And finally sleeping in an actual bed was like heaven.

A/n: alright well that's the end of Devil May Cry, next chapter is the start of a whole new adventure. I hope you liked the chapter anyhow cíao!
