Hi, that other thread made me think about a DmC sequel (!), and i have a few ideas were it could go and wrote an outline, Adam i would like if you read and review it !
Wrote it on my lunch breaks and used 100% of my imagination so be as harsh as you like there is lots of editing left to do.i think some points are out of order
FANFIC WARNING
•its been 10 years since the ending of DmC1, the world is at war, and the demons are winning, human society is in crumbles, goverments have fallen, population is low, turns out humans are powerless against the supernatural power of demon kind and a single Nephilim was not enough to change their domination across the world. They decided to enslave humanity the old fashioned way!
• Dante has changed too, he has a beautiful mane of long white hair and a manly black beard, he is in charge of the largest human settlement on earth, but something is seriously wrong inside him, he still remembers the painful loss of his woman 'Kat' who died back in the first years of the demon human demon war.
•Dante is colder and harsh but he knows he has to protect the humans in the settlement wich include his own child, named Nero. Nero is careless and barely remembers his mom, he is kinda sadistic in killing demons (wich he learned from Dante) gets into trouble sometimes but is a good hearted kid.note he swears a lot
•In hell Vergil has been consolidating power this whole time, now many of the demon leaders/kings follow him and he is much stronger than before, his hatred against his brother and lust for power has made him unhinged, he plans to exterminate most of humanity, ensalve the rest, and then go to heaven and conquer it.
• Dante learns of Vergil from Phineas ( did he survived the first game?) Phineas calls him "old friend" he comes one day and warns Dante Vergil is preparing to attack earth and humans won't stand a chance "Vergil is coming" he says, there might be a chance for humans if the angels intervene, but the heavenly world and earth are separated only a nephilim can open the gates, Dante refuces he says he doesn't "give a shit" and has enough with the humans there, Phineas says they will come for his kid too but Dante repeats he doesn't care, then Phineas mentions Dante could see Kat in heaven and finally agrees.
•the main point of the game more or less is to find the keys to open the gates to heaven and win the war (im not sure what these could be specifically, souls? Orbs? things :S) these are on both hell and the mortal realm
•Vergil's rule in hell is not without opposition, Dante learns there are demon forces opposed, this 'rebellion' is lead by a powerful demon named Trish, Dante decides to go to hell and find Trish so she can help him figure things out.
• There is a very emotive scene when Dante finds a paint can on the street and tells Nero his mom loved to paint graffiti on the walls , he lets out a single tear before moving on.
•Dante finds Trish who who has the appaerance of a beautiful woman with long red hair, wich surprises him but he mocks her looks saying she must be ugly as hell on the inside, Trish has heard of Dante and tells him Vergil's metods are out of control she doesn't want a nephilim ruling, and he plans to kill as many humans as possible when they just want to enslave them, finally Trish agrees to guide Dante through hell.
• the game has a hub wich is the human refuge(named Devil May Cry) the walls are all painted Dante can speak to humans some of them will upgrade weapons, others give sidequests or just say stupid things, Dante takes missions from there wich can vary from mainline story ones to liberate other settlements for example, puzzle/platforming challenges, boss battles etc. Some of them can be played
along with Nero or Trish (they have simplified special attacks ala God of War)
• Dante starts trusting Trish through his journey in part because he knows there are 'good' demons thanks to his friend and because in one mission she risks herself to help him and the kid
•Dante finds an old demon legend/myth that says the spawn born from fornication between a nephilim and a human will bring chaos to the realm.
•after finding the last key Vergil appears! He says his betrayal won't be forgiven and his foolish quest is meaningless, humanity is dying and all that will be left is a dead world,
•Dante and Vergil fight in hell, Vergil wins but says he is not gonna kill him yet, Vergil laughs and reveals Trish has been working with him all this time! He calls her his 'bitch' they explain how this a plan to lure him out and trap him to suffer for eternity, Trish and Vergil french kiss in front of a shocked Dante ,Trish mentions Vergil has a 'big dick' and they dissapear.
• Dante finds his way out and rushes to take on Vergil, after using the key , finally they meet again, Dante says he is here to stop him Vergil says he has become a God even brighter than Mundus ever was, and soon will become the strongest being in the universe. They battle amongs flames , then comes Nero and Vergil notices him , Vergil realizes Kat is dead, and stops for a minute before trying to kill him, Dante goes full rage mode and gets Devil Triggered (a real one not the red and white thing) the fight continues, Dante barely gets the upper hand for a few seconds. Vergil is shocked, he decides if he can't defeat his own worthless brother effortlessly he will never take the place of God, he retreats saying he is not prepared yet.
As the hordes of demons approach a light appears from the sky, Dante asks Kat if humanity still has hope left as they watch (Nero not Kat Kat is still dead) the big portal opening above.
