Rise of Mundus

[Devil Leon]

This will be a joint tale set in the world of Devil May Cry, after DMC3, a little way before DMC1. It will be written by me and Razer. We've written joint stories many times before, but this is our first Fan Fiction. We'll try and tie it into the DMC story as well as possible.

-------------------------


Leon sat in the cold dark cell, screams echoing down the corridor, nothing unusual for his existence, though. He punched the wall again, absent mindedly, another crack splitting in the spot he had slowly worn in over the months he had been sitting there. It felt like an eternity. He frowned.

Dante...

 

[Steve]

I looking forward to what you guys can come up with. =]

 

[Devil Razer]

A dark figure was perched on top of a rock face. Fire surrounding him All that yo could see of him was his outline. You could make out he had a hood on. And the coat he was wearing was long.

He looked out over te fire and brimstone. He then looked to the sky above. A mixture of purple and black swirled together. Then in the distance, over he horrizon he saw it. Three red orbs flashing in the distance forming triangle shape. The man stood up.

"soon...Soon the Human realm will fall."

 

[Devil Leon]

As the days passed, the screams became less frequent. Leon looked at himself in the cracked mirror, his long white hair hiding his one red eye, his other eye a dark hazel.

Something was wrong. It seemed the demons that usually roamed this area of hell seemed to have left - possibly called elsewhere by a higher power. He had heard rumours, whisperings in the night. Apparently a pair of demons had been causing problems. One of them, a feared demon named Mundus. The other, a rogue demon that had suddenly turned against his master. Something was coming. Something big.

Suddenly there was a huge roar as the room around Leon shook, and there were more screams. The crack on his wall began to split wider, and he clambered over to the wall. There was a hole, an opening. Without a second thought, he began to punch the wall over and over again, his knuckles beginning to bleed as he relentlessly smashed bone against stone.

 

[Devil Razer]

The man looked towards the sky. Something was happeneing, It was as if the sky was breaking apart. Its started to crack and splinter. it ten slowly opened up and the ground vigerously shook.

The figure lost his footing and fell off the rock face. He started to fall, as he did so 2 bat like wings shot out of his back andstarted to flap. He then started to hover in mid air.

As the crack opened the human world could be seen. You could see a fast city through the crack. It was a birds eye view of the city scape, as if the portal to the human world realm had opened in the sky. The sun shine shon through eluminating the mans face through his hood. His purple iris's shon in the light. His black fringe laid across his forhead he had pale white skin. Hewas wearing along black coat which had a hood. You could make out a dark navy blue waist coat under his jacket. He also wore black trusers and black boots.

The man smiled.

"Time to see if the human world has anything to offer."

he the shot into the crack in the sky. As he was flying towards the human realm he was ovrtaken by a giant winged deamon. Gray in colour it looked like a living statue. It was about four times the size of him. It looked back for a second at the man for a second as it did so you could see the three red orbs glowing on its face. It then shot off at speed into the human realm.

 

[Devil Leon]

The stone broke open, pieces flying everywhere. Leon crawled through the gap, and found himself in a strange corridor. The walls were red, and throbbing like the inside of a collossal intestine. He could hear a rushing noise like a collossal wind. Without a second thought, he began to run towards the source.

As he belted down the passageways, he saw a humanoid demon in a black cloak, holding a scthye. He had seen these before, a type of lesser demon, a Hell. As it turned towards him and raised its scythe, he kicked into the wall with inhuman strength, and it exploded in a cloud of sand.

Seconds later, he emerged in a large room that the passageway opened into. The scene was surreal - a huge firey scene, with a huge hole in the sky, demons getting sucked upwards as if taken by a huge invisible tornado, and in the center of it all, stood a huge winged demon. It looked like a giant angel, but its skin and feathers were completely black. Its face was too dark to distinguish, but there were two glowing red eyes that gazed upwards into the vortex, two horns protruded from the top of it's head curving backwards. In its right hand it held a huge black sword.

It gave an almighty roar, and then soared upwards through the portal. As it did so there was a crashing noise, and red lightning poured down. Leon could see that the portal was beginning to shrink.

He ran. This was his chance, and he would not miss it.

 

[Devil Razer]

The man went through the portal As he did so The scene around him flashed white for a split second. Then he felt the cool air on his face. He was falling towards earth. His hood blew back revealing his head. His long black hair blowing in the wind.

He turned his body so that his feet were pointint towards te ground. He retracted his wings, he then landed on top of a small building. He bent hs kneeson landing, he landed in a crouched position, hethen looked behind him seconds later a large skeleton like creatur landed behind him. It was covered in a huge black cloak and it wilded a massive scyth with a pulsing purple blade. It let out a demonic laugh.

The ma stared into its eyes. thre was nothing but darkness within them. Its huge mouth consantly open its whole head seemed to be made of stone. It then took one look at the man and then Flew off ito the sky.

The man stood up and walkd to the edge of the building and looked down. He could see swarms of hells takin to the streets. More and more of them appeared. They would materialise in a pillar of sand, minny red portals were opening everywhere.

The man smiled.

"The true utopia will be born!"

 

[Devil Leon]

Leon neared the center of the vortex, and was suddenly jolted, twisting and spinning as he was dragged up towards the portal. Looking back down, he saw a swarm of blood-red batlike creatures swarming up towards him - as they surrounded him he kicked and punched, trying to keep them away as he hurtled skywards. And then, as the portal was mere meters wide, there was a flash of white and he passed through, the world flipping upside-down as he plummeted to earth.

He grabbed hold of one of the bloodgoyles and held onto it tightly as it struggled to get away, seconds before impact it split into two, and he crashed through the glass on top of a large cathedral, the skylight shattering as he fell through, and crashed into a row of wooden benches that splintered, as the world around him faded into blackness.

 

[Devil Razer]

The man jumped down from the building and into the street. Hells still swarming round him. He walked down the street as he did so he reched inside his jacket and pulled out a sawn off shotgun. Heturned around and pointed the gun infront of him. Several hells looked round to see what had caught his attension.

He kept pointing the gun. But there was nothing around. He grunted as he turned round and started to walk again. Then he heard te sound of something metal hittng the concrete ground. He turned round again and saw a live grandeon the floor. He jumped to the side as it exploded.

The exposion took out some hells they exploded into dust clouds. The man took cover. He laid in waiting with his shot gun by his side. Then he heard it. A motor bike eingin. It tore past the place were he was hiding. He caught a glimps of who was riding it. All he saw was a figure with a white top on and what seemed t be a rocket launcher strapped to their back.

 

[Devil Leon]

Leon slowly opened his eyes, pain spreading through his body from the crash. As his vision regained focus he could hear a noise behind him. He sat up to see a man pushing benches up against the doors in a panic, muttering to himself as he did so.

"Gotta keep 'em out... out... out. Thats right stay out... out."

Leon stood up, wood clattering to the floor as he did so. The man jumped at the noise, and clumsily picked up a sword that was propped up against the wall, his hand shaking as he held it out.

"BACK.. back... back demon!"

Leon brushed wood shavings from his coat, and walked closer to the man.

"Calm down. I'm not one of them."

The man grasped tighter onto the sword, backing closer to the wall. He let out a short scream as a scythe blade peirced the door behind him.

"Sure..sure..you don't want to kill me...I don't believe you!"

Suddenly the doors burst open, benches flying across the room and smashing to the floor. The man dropped the sword and ran, his face a slight shade of green. Leon ran over and grabbed the sword - it wasn't perfect but it had an edge to it, and seemed sturdy enough.

He held the sword and watched as hells began to pour into the cathedral. He ran toward them, sword raised, ready to attack.

 

[Devil Razer]

"Devil hunter..." The man said as he saw the motobike tare off down the streets.

He then elt something. It was a force, a force like he had not experienced before. It didnt feel like a devil hunter but what evr i was i was taking out hells and lots of them.

He walked out from te side ofthe building. He saw a catheadran in the distance.

"There!"

He started to walk slowly towards it. as he did so bloodgoles and hellvanguards were flying in the same direction.

"The can't have all the fun."

His bat like wings shot out ofhis back andhe took to the sky heading to the cathedral.

 

[Devil Leon]

One after another, Leon sliced and weaved, cutting down Hell after Hell. As he did so, sand seemed to seep into the sword, and it began to give off a faint aura.

Then there was a loud groan. Coming through the doorway was another Hell, but it was holding some kind of orange sack, that seemed to pulse like an organ. He'd never seen anything like it, but he had a bad feeling. He nodded to the man, and they made a run for one of the back doors, the Hells drawing closer and closer.

 

[Devil Razer]

The man got to the cathedral and crashed through the roof. as he did so his wring retracted back and he landed infront of leon. Secondslater he pulled out his shot gun once more.

"How the hell did you get out?" He said grittng his teeth.

 

[Devil Leon]

Leon didnt say a word, and pushed the man aside. He kicked the wooden door down, flying off of it's hinges, and lead the shaken-up human out, as there was another loud groan, and the Hell smashed the fleshy pod into the ground.

 

[Devil Razer]

There was a big explosion and half the ca thedral collapsed. As it did so the Man in the long coat walked away from the destruction slowly with his shot gun held on hi sholder. Dust flew around him but he didnt seem to care. His focus was fixed on leon.

 

[Devil Leon]

As they escaped, the human ran off by himself. Leon doubted he would last long alone.

Fool...

Examining his surroundings for the first time, Leon breathed in the air of the human realm, a taste he had long since forgotten. Then his eyes levelled as he remembered his own goal.

Dante. I'm back.

 

[Devil Razer]

The wgs once again petuded from the mans back. He then kicked off te ground and hovered in the air.

"I'll Go after Leon. See what he's up to."

He took to the sky after leon but keeping his distance so he wouldn't be spotted.

 

[Devil Leon]

Leon wandered down the dark atreets, in search of a pub. He knew the kind of business Dante was into, and where he could find out what he needed to know.

Eventually, he came across an old building with a dusty sign hanging above the doorway - he could just make out the words - "The Rusty Knife". He pushed his way into the doorway, and walked up to the bar. An old man sat in the corner, apparently drunk. He walked up to him, and whispered softly.

"I'm looking for someone... who deals with devils..."

The old man looked him in the eyes, and slowly his eyes widened as the rusty gears in his mind began to turn. Suddenly, catching Leon by surprise, he began to yell.

"DEMON HUNTER!!! DEVIL KILLER!!"

 

[Devil Razer]

The man lanede on top of the pub which leon went into. And he looked across the city scape to see what was near by. He knew that Leon was looking for something. But what was it?

He looked, all he could see was dark building in the fading light. then out of the corner of his eye he saw pale blue light. He lept some buildings to get a better view of what it was. It was a neon sign on th fron of a building. When he got closer he read the sign.

"Devil May Cry..."

 

[Devil Leon]

Suddenly, the old man's body seemed to tear open, as a clawed hand ripped its way out of the body. The creature had green skin, and was a humanoid shape but hunched over like it had no spine.

"Hunterrrr...."

There were ripping noises as several other demons emerged from their false bodies, and Leon found himself surrounded by demons once more.

Suddenly, the door burst open, and there stood a man. He had white hair, and red clothes. On his back, a sword with a skull motif on the handle, and holding a pair of pistols - one Ebony, and one Ivory.

"Am I late?" He said, cockily, before firing a couple of shots into the forehead of the nearest demon.
