Changing the past

The twins of Sparda were standing outside of Dominic's house in his driveway as one of his eldest children, Koro was explaining his newest invention, a time machine.

Koro: And it runs on an apparatus using waste products like old trash and even bodily waste! Clean and efficient!

Dante: Hmm...

Dominic: You have no idea what he's saying do you?

Dante: I've had four nosebleeds since he started talking.

Koro: Oh! And it works without high speed like a DeLorean!

Dante: Five point loss.

Koro: Huh?

Dominic: It's nothing! Why would you even build this?

Koro: It's just for observation. To learn about the past. Your past.

Dante: Why the sudden interest?

Koro: I wanted to learn about the events that made you who you are today.

Dante: Ah what the hell. Fine.

Dominic: Why not? The balance between life and death has been destroyed so who cares about messing with time?

Koro: Excellent! Time to make time our bitch!!

Dante: Stick to sounding smart kid.

Koro:*defeated sigh* I know...

The three get into the large machine and Koro puts in coordinates and they disappear in between the ripples of time itself

Dante: So how do you know how to position it at the perfect spot in time so we aren't like inside of a building or in space because the earth is on the other side of the sun?

Koro: Because I'm just that good.

Soon they arrive in a field of grass and they exit the machine and look around their setting. It was dusk, the sun had barely set and the smell of fire was in the air

Dante: I know this day...

Dominic: .....

Koro: Yes. The day everything changed for the both of you.

Dante sighs through his nose and leans against the time machine and closes his eyes while Dominic watches the house burn to the ground

Koro: Uh, father. Where are you?

Dominic: In the garden....we must go.

Koro: But I'm getting so much data!

Dante: Listen to your old man!!

Surprised by the sudden anger driven outburst from his uncle, Koro gets back into the time machine with his family and they blink out of existence and fly through time. The trip was short but the silence made it feel like it was hours. But they made it none the less to the outskirts of a military base which was on high alert

Koro: That's odd. It says we're across the iron curtain.

Dante: Did you make a wrong turn or something?

Dominic: No. This is one of my life moments. We're at the point I met the greatest man I would ever meet. The one who would mold me into a man who knew what it meant to be a soldier. Snake.

Koro: Of course!! Operation Snake Eater!!

Dante: Now how the hell did you go into the past!

Dominic: I used the Yamato without focusing and I transported myself through time. And you're seeing my adventure through time. And I should be....there.

Pointing at the runway, Dominic sees his younger self fighting multiple armed soldiers with just Yamato and martial arts.

Dante:*whistle* Look at you go. Like a little Goku huh?

They watched as the child Dominic sliced a rocket in half while Snake and EVA zoom across the runway on a motorcycle as a giant tank chases them throughout the base

Koro: Wow! I didn't know the technology from here was so advanced during this era!!

Dominic: The Shagohad. A bipedal tank capable of launching ICBM's without the use of a launch bay.

Dante: How? You'd have to be going like a thousand miles to get the momentum to do that.

Dominic: It's so fucking dumb! It goes so fast it launches the rockets like a slingshot.

Dante: It...has drills as wheels though.

Dominic: The more you think about it the more ridiculous it seems.

Koro watches on as his father's younger self begins to fight hand to hand with a young boy with black hair with blue highlights in it

Koro: Father, who is that boy? His hair is...not belonging to this point in time.

Dominic: Sapphire.

Dante: Geez! You two were rivals even as kids!

Dominic: Heh, I think he's still mad I beat him at a young age~

Dante: How!

Dominic: Well I stabbed him through myself and threw us off a helicopter. A sort of self sacrifice if you will. Though I didn't think he would actually survive.

Koro: Hm. Uh father, you're losing.

The young Dominic was on the ground about to be run over by Volgen who held the inner wires of the Shagohad in his hands and driving towards him ready to run him over

Dominic: Hm. I always wanted to do this.

Raising his hand to the sky, Dominic called down a bolt of lightning that struck Volgen burning the man alive and stopping the tank in its tracks

Dante: Hm. So that's how that went.

Dominic: Come. This is all we can view now.

Koro: I have everything I need.

They climb back into the time machine and go back through the time stream and arrive in a forest at night

Dante: Now where are we?

Dominic: This place...oh no..

Dominic darts out of the machine at blinding speed leaving Dante and Koro in the dust

Dante: So...that happened.

Koro: Uh huh...

Speeding through the trees, Dominic arrives at a cliff side and watches as a woman cloaked in white was fighting off the black creatures known as Grimm. His hands shaking and he grits his teeth as he watches from behind a tree. This was the day he would unlock his demonic power. By watching the huntress Summer Rose die.

The battle was fierce with Summer holding her own against the large group of Grimm. Even for a human she was as quick as chain lightning with her movements and the way she used her scythe. Suddenly a Grimm slashed her on the back, delivering the blow that would ultimately be her downfall.

As the monsters went in closer to her, she could only scream out in terror as her life would come to an abrupt end. Suddenly, multiple sounds rung off in quick succession

Summer opened her eyes to see a clawed hand mere inches from her chest and she looked around seeing that the Grimm were frozen in place. Then the sound of a sword being sheathed caught her attention and the Grimm fell into pieces on the floor but she never broke her stare from the man who stood in front of her with his back to her

Summer: W-who--who are you?

Dominic: That doesn't matter. The boy you were with will come back. I want you to take him in and raise him as one of your own. Raise him well. Teach him that his humanity is not a weakness. But never forget where he came from.

Summer: You're... you're him. Aren't you?

Dominic said nothing to her and began to walk away but even though she was injured she still managed to grab his arm

Summer: Turn around. Look at me.

She watched as the man turned around revealing him to be Dominic much much older than she had seen him before. Though she saw the calm look in his eyes, she saw decades of pain in them. Just like any mother could see behind any children's look

Summer: You've been through so much.. haven't you?

Dominic: I didn't want to do this...but my heart could not bare to see you die again.

Summer: Oh my boy. Thank you so much.

Dominic: Wait. Before I go, he has a power inside of him that must be unlocked. But please don't be afraid of it. We are the spawn of a demon and human. Our father's power is in our blood. Please don't forget about this.

Summer: So... you're part demon?

Dominic: Yes. But I'm still a child! I barely even know what I can do!

Summer: Dominic Dominic. I don't care. You're just a scared little boy. I'm not gonna hate you for what you are. Who you are is who I care for.

Dominic smiled at her words and wiped his eyes and turned to leave her but stopped himself and reached into his coat and pulled out a photo. He hands it to her and left as quickly as he came.

Back at the time machine, Dante was resting on the floor sucking on a stick while Koro was typing on a data pad

Dominic: Let's go.

Dante: You done running away big guy?

Dominic: Shut up and get in the machine.

Dante sits up and spat out the stick and got in the time machine without saying a word

Koro: What exactly were you doing father?

Dominic: Saying goodbye to an old friend.

They enter the time machine and fly through the time stream, ready to see what new adventures await them.
