@Adam: THANK YOUS MY FRIEND!!!
And I got in. Which turns out makes no difference because YOU have all my bloody work.
@Moses: Yeah, if you got any questions please fire away. I have a pretty bad memory and yeah, I actually do forget what occurs in my own fics, especially the ones I write as fast as I did this one, so I might not have all the answers right away.
There are two other fics that are in a similar setting as this one. I don't know if I've said this before but this fic is a spin off of sorts from my Ragnarok fic, which is basically about D-day in the DMC universe.So... yeah, in the Ragnarok fic, Mundus basically takes over the human realm and gets his way, and for a long time there's hardship for mankind and the Sparda boys are nowhere to be found. They only pitch up near the end of the fic to steal the show. The Order of Sparda is basically a little side story about WHERE exactly Nero and the lot of them were the whole time chaos was raining down on earth.
And the other fic, Shadow of a Demon, takes place long before this fic in the time when Sparda was residing in Fortuna as the feudal lord. I know in the game they say it was just a legend, but I've been doing some research about feudal lords and wanted to do a story about it. So, I don't know if mentioning any of this might help clear up any confusion, but once I can get my hands on those other fics and post them up, a lot of things that seemed to be left hanging or that seems to be shrouded in mystery in this fic, will be a lot more understandable and clear.
And in this fic in particular I'm going with the idea that Nero is Vergil's son. Mind you, it's the first fic and possibly the one fic in which I will support the idea. It just kinda...fit with the scene.
Erm...as for what happened to Vergil - well, in my mind, this new Order tracked down the remains of his soul and had a ...necromancer, I think? And some serious magic mojo that helped to recreate Vergil's body - which wouldn't have been hard to do since they only needed to make a copy of Dante. They did something similar with Sparda - kind of like they were creating clones of Vergil and Sparda, you could say. With the good intentions, of course.
And yeah...it's a first draft and I think I went through stages where I wasn't that focused on the descriptive part but just wanted to dot down the idea of what goes down? I still need to revise the fic and will be fixing that last chapter up when I get around to it. And...I blame Nero for making the scene dumbassy
No, seriously, I'll go work on that at some point too. It's the first time I wrote the two of them interacting. Well, this was my first time actually properly writing Nero, and I can see where I bashed him BADLY, and I'm not proud of it or happy about it.
Here's the link to the story on my FFN :

But like I said, I copy and paste it from there so when a new chapter goes up, I come post it here as soon as I get it.
I wish Manny and I could write that well, but alas.
*is floored* That IS the biggest compliment I have EVER received. Really, you and Manny are BRILLIANT so that is very, very flattering of you!
*blushes to death* x_x
