Author's Notes: Alright I would just like to get a few things straight in this crossover fanfic yes it is a RWBY/DMC/DmC fanfic. Don't dismiss this fic because of it just bare with me. Confused? Well let me give some reasons

First of all yes I will be borrowing heavily from the DmC Devil May Cry reboot especially at the beginning because I believe that the game is awesome and makes for a good modern alternate universe prequel.

I will include a younger Nero in this fic as a half demon who was rescued by the Sparda family. Dante will be (DmC) Dante but since he was raised by his parents he has some of the qualities of the classic Dante we all know and love albeit with a playful maturity. Vergil's attitude will be a mixture of his classic and reboot counterpart, classic when he is fighting and reboot when he is socializing. This is all because the impression Vergil gave me in the reboot game was that of a friendly guy who is truly fighting for the freedom of mankind from the reign of demons while connecting with his long lost twin brother. His actions at the end of the game were just complete bullshit and without a valid cause, if you played the game I am sure you agree with me on some level.

Now then, no doubt you guys might be confused by this since I am basically merging the two Devil May Cry universes into one while placing them in RWBY's universe but please DO NOT DISMISS THIS FANFIC, I know what I am doing and it can make perfect sense.

Now without further ado I Streggae Present Devil May Cry: Remnant.

Chapter 1: Welcome To Remnant

"What the hell happened to the moon!?" was the first thing Dante spoke as his eyes opened.

He stared at the celestial orb for a moment trying to take in this new scenery. After 2 minutes he was satisfied and turned from his back to brace his body on his arms. He looked around to see that he was surrounded by trees, mostly dead trees, in fact the only trees that had any leaf on them looked decayed.

He stood up and closed his eyes as he rolled his arms around, emphasizing on the shoulders. He then stretched his arms up and went on his toes with a loud yawn that followed. Finally he placed his hand on his neck then tilted his head to the side until a *crack* was heard.

Tilting his head to the opposite side until another *crack* heard he opened his eyes to glare at nothing in particular while rolling his shoulders.

Dante stopped and his expression became pained "dammit dad" he exclaimed in a whisper.

All the memories up to this point rushed in his mind, he tried to force back the memories which worked but the anger was still there and it wasn't leaving anytime soon. No he needed something to take it out on, something to hit, no something to kill.

With a frustrated sigh he again glanced at the moon "whelp" he placed both hands behind his head "I'm not in Kansas anymore, not unless dad sealing the portal to the demon world meant the moon would explode" he remarked sarcastically.

"Might as well see if those two are ok"

After making sure everything is where it should be he dusted the grass off himself and began walking in the forest.

Approximately two hundred meters from Dante's location

Vergil gasped as if waking from a nightmare, his once neatly combed blonde hair was disheveled and he bore more resemblance to Dante. Vergil immediately sat up and clutched his head, Yamato was held firmly in his grasp, even unconscious he would never let this sword go.

He glanced at Yamato and clenched it tightly "father" he whispered with his expression saddened.

That quickly turned into anger, he stood up only to immediately notice his bangs hanging loosely just above his eyes, which annoyed him.

'How Dante never went insane from this will remain a mystery to me' He commented before reaching into his coat for his comb.

Vergil combed his hair back neatly, it wasn't the first time he had done so, he didn't need a mirror to know what he looked like. He completed his grooming by running hands over his hair to makes sure it was groomed properly. He swept his head back and coincidentally looked to the sky to which he was greeted by the permanently crescent moon.

Vergil's eyes widened and his mouth opened to voice a single "Huh?"

With that said he regained his composure and looked around 'this is not earth, the moon's composition tells me that much.' He thought as he looked around 'strange, it doesn't feel like the demon world, more like earth but there is something different.'

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Vergil was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts by a loud blood curdling scream as was Dante.

The two brothers looked off in the distance to where the scream came from only to see a purple glow brighten the dark forestry followed by a spike in demonic energy. As the two boys looked in the distance several howls could be heard followed by rustling and heavy foot falls headed for the strange glow. To the boys though only one thing came to mind

"Nero!" they both exclaimed before making their way to the half demon. Dante sprinted towards while Vergil continuously used short range teleportation leaving a dark blue smoke stream behind him before dissipating.

Meanwhile Nero was clutching his right arm, still yelling like someone was continuously stabbing him. The arm in question was radiating a bright purple, almost blindingly. Nero could see cracks in his skin then to his horror the skin starting to peel off into the air like ashes, revealing an even brighter light of purple.

Vergil came onto the scene but had to shield his eyes from the intense light, Dante swooped from the air and landed in a dive roll just a few feet away from Vergil.

"What's going on?!" He yelled while trying to block the light from his eyes.

"I don't know, I just got here!" Vergil replied

This went on for a few more minutes before the light abruptly faded. Noticing this, the twins cautiously approached a now unconscious Nero who could slowly be seen as the light started to recede from the source.

Both of them looked on in shock as the source of the mysterious light was Nero's arm. Even though the light was gone the glow never left and seemed to have gone through a transformation.

His arm was no longer human but demonic in nature: Nero's arm was now a red and looked reptilian, his fingers were now claws which glowed purple except at the base, his palm glowed purple while looking crystal-like, the back of his hand was also glowing purple at the middle, it went down in a line straight to his elbow while breaking off into thinner lines circling his arm and his elbow was now jutted out.

Both twins had their eyes wide, staring at Nero's new arm "What the hell just happened?" Dante asked turning to Vergil

The eldest twin regained his composure and narrowed his eyes "his demonic powers have awakened" he replied solemnly whilst making his way to Nero.

"Wh-" Dante was about to speak but stopped when something ran out of the forest in front of Nero and Vergil.

It was big, about 10 feet tall, it looked like a bear covered in jet black fur with bone-like protrusions on its back forming a spine. The most recognizable trait would be its bone mask with red tribal markings concealing its glowing red eyes.

Vergil and Dante watched on as the creature looked between them before setting his sights on an unconscious Nero who was the closest. It made a loud roar before charging at the boy, Dante went for his guns but Vergil shot towards it like a blur.

The creature didn't even notice as Vergil appeared before Nero with a death glare and lopped its head off. The head in question shot up in the air before it landed on Dante's outstretched arm, Dante was walking casually towards Nero the whole time.

He took a look at the head "never seen a demon like this before. Have you?" He looked at Vergil, turning the head so it was looking at him too.

Vergil shook the blood off the sword before sheathing its blade. He took a look at the head "no I've never seen a demon taking the form of an animal, although" he paused to look at the headless body leaking the putrid smelling blood "…this may just be a demon native to this world."

"So whe-" Dante was again cut off as another creature leapt out of the bushes and charged at him on all fours before lunging at his back.

"God dammit" the boy muttered irritated that he was cut off again.

While the animal lunged at him, in slow motion Dante tossed the head, his left hand reached for his back holster, he side stepped the claws and fangs, with a spin took out Ebony and finished by shooting the creature in the back of the head.

The creature landed dead on the grass with a hole through its head and mouth. Dante walked next to the creature and rubbed the blood on his hand on its fur. Taking a good look, it looked like a werewolf to him with black fur, bones sticking out of its arms and back along its spine complete with a bone mask with red markings.

"So where do you think we are then? Cause this sure ain't earth and we agree we've never seen demons that look like these before."

Suddenly black smoke started rising from the corpse of the bear

"what's going on now?"

Vergil took a long look at it before replying "it seems to be dissolving."

Dante raised a brow "oh, guess they don't clean up faster than ours huh?" he smirked.

"That would seem to be the case" he humored before checking on Nero and sighed in relief, there was nothing wrong with him physically.

Vergil looked around trying to find something and spotted Blue Rose a few feet beside Dante. He motioned to where it was to him and Dante went for it while Vergil went for Red Queen next to Nero.

"It's a long shot but I don't think we're in the demon world, which means that portal Mundus sent us through may have sent us to another dimension." Vergil rested the sword on his back and it stuck.

"Well shit, that's just perfect." Dante's comment was filled with sarcasm. "So what's first?" Dante put the gun in Nero's leg holster and slung him over his shoulder.

"I suppose we should find some form of civilization and gather information about this place, hopefully we won't stand out."

Just then an ear piercing screech echoed near them followed by more howls and a roar. Whatever made that first sound was big and with the amount that followed after, they wouldn't be able fight them while protecting an unconscious person.

"I think we should hurry, we're definitely not in a position to fight that many right now." Vergil commented.

Dante gritted his teeth, he really hated running, especially when it's a challenge but a glance at Nero reminded him of the stakes and he sighed in defeat.

"Lead the way."

With that both boys sprinted away, Vergil wasn't entirely sure how long it would take them to reach their destination but his gut told him that there were people in that general direction. After 40 minutes of travelling and the occasional quick kill of those weird not demon things they came to two conclusions:

First those things didn't really feel alive, whatever they were they didn't have a soul which all living things have even demons and second they seem to only be interested in attacking Nero for some reason and Nero's arm always glowed when they're near.

"This just keeps getting weirder." Dante commented offhandedly.

Vergil didn't comment but then something caught his attention, another presence that felt human but off somehow. They both slowed down and Vergil scouted ahead, he hid behind a tree and peaked to get a good look at the person.

He didn't want to take any chances; he doesn't know anything about this world and for all he knew they could be hostile. He observed as a woman was gathering what looked liked herbs which was strange since it was so dark. He then noticed that this particular individual has rabbit ears on top of her head.

"What the hell's taking so long?" Dante whisper shouted.

Suddenly her rabbit ears twitched and she turned around to stare directly at Dante who was hiding behind the cover of darkness.

"Who's there!?" She asked with fear in her voice. When no one answered she spoke again "I-I know you're there! I can see you!"

Vergil not wanting the situation to deteriorate placed Yamato against the tree and came out with his hands raised in surrender.

"I'm sorry we thought you might be hostile" Vergil spoke honestly, he could see that she was scared; he didn't need to make it worse.

"We don't want any trouble, I just wanted to know the direction to the nearest town or city."

The girl looked him up and down and visibly gulped "a-are you a-a Faunus?"

The term caught Vergil off guard for a split second but that was all she needed to confirm her suspicions

"Humans!" She exclaimed before running away

"Wait!" Vergil exclaimed right before Ophion was shot out next to him.

"We don't have time for this crap." Dante growled as Ophion grabbed the girl from behind and pulled her directly to him.

Vergil caught her and held the still shocked woman in place, she was screaming for him to let go and squirming. Dante could feel the anger boiling as he set Nero down, it's been a long day, he lost his mother, they fought the entire demon army, his father sacrificed himself, they ended being sent by Mundus into another dimension/planet or whatever, not to mention those black, mask wearing animals with red eyes kept attacking and all he wants is some answers.

He stomped over to the rabbit girl pushed his brother aside and grabbed her shoulders to force her to look at him.

"LISTEN UP!" She immediately stopped when she heard the pure anger in his voice. Seeing that he got her attention he continued

"I woke up in the middle of a half dead forest staring at a shattered moon which I have no idea how that happened. For the past hour we've been running nonstop killing whatever the hell kind of demon those bone mask wearing things are! We have no idea where we are, what those things are or what the hell a Faunus is but I can tell you we aren't human!" His eyes glowed a fiery red with red veins cracking near them for a moment when he said human. "Now, do we have your co-operation?" He said the last words through clenched teeth and leaned in closer.

The poor girl was so shocked that she could only nod in confirmation.

Dante smiled "that's more like it." He let her go and immediately her legs gave out.

Dante backed away as Vergil shot him a glare but he was unfazed by it "what!? This was taking way too long so I made it shorter."

Vergil closed his eyes and sighed before directing his attention to the now trembling rabbit girl. He held out his hand to help her up

"My name is Vergil, he's Dante. I am sorry for my brother's outburst, we have been through a lot and we just wanted answers to some questions." Vergil gave her a reassuring smile.

"Brothers?" she whispered as her gaze shifted from him to Dante then back to Vergil.

She was surprised, their faces look exactly the same but while Dante in her opinion looked like bad news his brother looked like someone she could trust. She like most Faunus did not trust humans but the comment Dante made about them not being human peaked her curiosity.

She swallowed and reluctantly grasped Vergil's gloved hand and he helped her to her feet.

"What's your name?" Vergil asked

"I-It's Alice." She answered shakily.

"Alright Alice, will you answer our questions?" She nodded "good now first question, can you tell us exactly where we are?"

"Everyone calls this general area the badlands." Vergil looked deep in thought

"Why'd they call it that? Wait does it have to do with those things with the white bone mask?" Dante asked.

Alice gave him an astonished look "you really aren't from Remnant are you?" She asked still not believing it.

"That's what I said isn't it? By the way, what's Remnant?" Dante's words did not have any malice and Alice's jaw dropped.

"That's the name of this world isn't it?" Vergil spoke up and Alice nodded "what else could you tell us about this world?"

With that Alice explained to them about the four kingdoms, the Grimm and Faunus. She even told them about the wars and why she along with a small village of Faunus continue to live outside their 'safe haven.'

"I see, thank you for your cooperation." Vergil said and turned to Dante.

"Uh yeah, thanks" Dante shoved his hands in his pocket but Vergil continued to glare at him. Dante sighed and approached her "and I'm sorry for shouting in your face." His voice was unenthusiastic.

Vergil narrowed his eyes before casually walking over and slapped him upside the head. What followed was Dante shouting several profanities at him while he just ignored him and retrieved Yamato from behind the tree. Alice looked on in amazement at the comedic one-sided bickering between the two of them. She couldn't help but giggle at Dante's childish behavior

"Would you shut the hell up Dante?" A new voice caught Alice's attention.

She turned her attention to the previously unconscious boy and her eyes widened when she saw his arm. Nero himself hadn't noticed this or her and looked to Dante and Vergil who were staring at him at a loss for words

They continued to stare at each other before Nero stood up "okay I'll bite. Where are we?"

"Long story short we're on a planet called Remnant in a forest in another dimension crawling with weird demon like creatures wearing bone masks." Dante summarized he then glanced at Alice

"And apparently this planet has human/animal hybrid species called Faunus." Vergil finished and gestured to Alice.

The first thing Nero noticed was the rabbit ears and he pointed with his right arm "what the hell?" which made him noticed his demonic arm "WHAT THE HELL!?"

"Nero you need to calm down." Vergil warned.

"Easy for you to say!" he snapped back "How, why, what is this!?" He pointed to his arm.

"Stop being so whiny would 'ya." Nero shot Dante a death glare but he was completely unfazed.

"It seems to be a physical manifestation of your demonic powers." Vergil answered and hoped that his calm would rub off and not let the situation escalate.

Nero looked at them in disbelief before sighing "of course it is" he muttered before turning his gaze to the rabbit eared female "so who's this?" he pointed to her.

She promptly got up "M-my name is Alice."

Nero rolled down his sleeve before replying "the name's Nero." He turned to Vergil "So what now Verg?"

Vergil cupped his chin in thought "we need to get out of this forest and find civilization." He turned to Alice "Alice would you be able to give us a map or maybe point us in the direction to the nearest city?"

She shook her head "I'm sorry I don't know but I know someone at our camp who might be able to help you."

Vergil smiled and gestured for her to "lead the way."

"Can I have my sword back now?" Nero commented as they followed.

After securing Red Queen on his back he walked beside Dante who had his hands behind his head in a leisurely manner.

"So, anything else you can tell me about those bone mask wearing demons?" he questioned curiously.

Thus Dante went about explaining what Alice told them about Grimm, not much of the history just the parts that matter. Like how after killing them they evaporate into nothing after awhile, how their attracted to negative emotions

"You know come to think of it, those things were after you the minute you got that fancy new arm."

Nero glanced at his arm in disdain and after awhile came to a conclusion "if those things are attracted to negative emotions then it doesn't get any more negative than a demonic arm."

Vergil glanced behind at Nero and nodded "unfortunately it's true" he noticed how Alice's expression changed to worry.

"That's why we have to do this quick right?" Dante asked noticing Alice's ears droop down.

"Exactly" was Vergil's only answer.

The four came upon the small village camp, the homes themselves weren't anything extravagant and looked to made disposable but long lasting. Instead of just walking through the village and sticking out they decided to wait for Alice to come back.

"Tell me again why we can't go down there?" Nero asked.

"At one point the Faunus and Humans were at war, one that lasted years with heavy casualties on both sides and in the end the Faunus lost" Vergil replied. "The people of this village never forgot the cruelty humans showed during those times, that's why they choose to live out here instead of their kingdoms."

"Aannd" Dante continued "since we look exactly like humans it'd be a pain in the ass for us and Alice if we show up."

"Even in another dimension huh?" Nero stated to no one in particular.

After five minutes Nero's arm started to glow

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's happening!?" he asked clearly freaking out.

Vergil narrowed his eyes and Dante reached for Ebony and Ivory. Just then a pitch black fur boar with a bone mask jumped out of the bushes and charged at Nero.

Since he didn't even sense it Nero had no time to reach for his weapons and instead reflexively used his demonic arm to punch the creature dead center in its face. The mask broke immediately and the creature was sent flying through two trees and landed in a bloody smoking heap.

Dante looked at Nero "damn." He leaned in to Vergil "remind me not to piss him off anymore." Vergil rolled his eyes.

Vergil jumped up on the trees to scout out just how many caught up with them. He couldn't see much because it was dark but what he did see were trees, tall trees, swaying like something was brushing against them, something big.

'Dammit! I thought we ha-' Vergil exclaimed but was cut short from his thoughts when a giant raven flew above him, it had the same bone mask as the others.

"Is that a giant bird?" Nero asked right before he had to take out Blue Rose to shoot a Beowolf, the specialized bullet easily ran through its armor mask for a clean headshot.

Dante was shooting Grimm that were coming at them "Hey Vergil" *Bang* *bang* "just how many are we dealing with?" *bang* *bang* *bang*

"I need to warn the people at the camp, I don't know what's coming but it's big and there's more than one them!" Vergil shouted still eyeing the nevermore.

"Spectacular!" Nero exclaimed sarcastically.

Vergil didn't answer he started rapidly teleporting to the village which the Nevermore seems to also be headed to. Vergil jumped and sent a flaming blue-white summoned sword towards the Grimm, it hit the mark and Vergil was instantly teleported on its back.

Before the nevermore even knew what was going on to react to the new presence on its back Vergil acted. He ran to its head, drew Yamato horizontally and twirled it in his arm once simultaneously lifting it before it was enveloped in red flames.

The young Nephilm then plunged the blade into its skull, then a small wave of explosive flames spread from the point of the sword through the head of the nevermore causing its head to explode.

The now headless Grimm began plummeting rapidly towards the village entrance. Vergil casually shook the blood off his sword and sheathed it, not at all phased by the force of the fall. Right before it crashed Vergil leapt off and angel lift himself further away from the crash site.

He gracefully landed just a few meters away from the dead Grimm and the eyes of the Faunus residence.

"You all need to get out of here now!" He shouted "There's a swarm of Grimm headed straight for this place!"

The Nevermore's body had already started to dissolve giving off black smoke. It took a while for the Faunus to let the knowledge sink in when an ear piercing screech alerted them to what was in the air.

About five Nevermore were in the skies and that's when panic ensued

"Vergil!" He heard a voice and turned around to see Alice running up to him "what's going on!?"

"The Grimm caught up with us" the expression of disbelief she gave him made his gut wrenched. "listen to me" he took her shoulders "Dante, Nero and I can handle them but you need to get your belongings and leave."

Hearing him say that he could handle the Grimm alone was unbelievable and his voice was unwavering when he said it.

"Go!" he said before disappearing in a blur of dark blue.

Alice looked around in the screaming crowd to find him in the pathway of a Nevermore that was swooping down to snatch a Faunus girl in its beak. Watch she saw was Vergil standing his ground calmly.

She was about to shout his name in panic but stopped when his scabbard lit on fire with blue-white flames. The next thing she was when the Nevermore was within striking distance Vergil drew his sword and the Nevermore's head snapped up causing it to fly overhead.

Then Vergil sheathed his sword and entered a quick draw stance and his scabbard glowed blue until he did three rapid slashes. She saw three blue crescent slashes pierced the Nevermore's neck until it was fully decapitated, the Grimm crashed into an empty house already dissolving.

Alice was speechless at this point she went to glance at Vergil's last location to find him gone. The pained screech of a Nevermore gained her attention; she looked up just in time to see its wings sliced clean off then what looked like something shiny blue shooting to another Nevermore nearby shortly followed by said Nevermore's head decapitation.

Alice was so caught up with what Vergil was doing that she didn't even register what was happening around her. That included an Ursa charging at her

"Alice!" a voice alerted her and she almost had a heart attack when she saw the huge Grimm just a few feet away, her legs immediately gave out sending her stumbling to her rear frozen in fear.

The Grimm stood on its two legs and glared at her before raising its paw to strike, Alice closed her eyes waiting for the inevitable pain of death. Instead she heard the sound of flesh being cut followed by a pained roar.

Alice opened her eyes and gasped, what she saw was the Ursa being impaled by four blew crystal like swords. The Ursa started dissolving, a clear sign of its death and the swords shattered but the creature completely vanished before it hit the ground.

Vergil landed kneeling a few feet in front of her with his eyes closed and his sword held out in his arm. He shook off the blood and rubbed the tip of his blade against the scabbard before putting the tip in then ever so slowly started to sheathe the blade.

He stood up when the sword was half way in and when the blade was just about to go in he stopped as if waiting for something then with a sharp *snap* the sword was fully sheathed not a second later did scattered body parts from a giant Nevermore rained down behind him.

A few moments later they dissolved and Vergil walked over to her and helped her up

"I thought I said get out of here!" he shouted

"I-I…you..tha.." she stuttered while pointing to the Nevermore.

He glanced back then turned to her with a confident smile "I told you I can handle this." He reassured her "now go!"

With that Alice ran but glanced back at Vergil who was covering her escape route by firing blue swords to impale the Beowolves around the fleeing Faunus.

Meanwhile Dante and Nero were retreating out of the forest as they were being chased by a giant scorpion. They didn't have enough room to fight it and from the looks of things it wasn't the biggest Grimm following them.

As soon as they were out of the forest Dante and Nero did a final leap and both faced the scorpion that was just five trees short of clearing the forest. Dante formed Rebellion on his back and held it in a reverse grip

"Hey Nero you up for a slam dunk?" Dante smirked.

Nero looked at him confused then looked at his demonic arm and grinned. "Hell. Yes!" He exclaimed and crouched down in a starting position.

Dante's smirk turned to a grin as energy began traveling from his hand through the blade to the tip of the sword. Just then the Deathstalker crashed through the trees into the clearing roaring at them.

Just then Nero dashed forward and Dante did three rapid slashes paused and did two more, sending five silver energy slashes towards the Grimm. The three hit its head making it block with its claws but the last two hit its tail more specifically just above the stinger

The golden stinger was promptly cut off but was caught by Nero's demonic arm and just like a star basketball player did a slam dunk, using the stinger as a ball.

"Slam dunk" the half demon yelled as the stinger pierced the tough shell and was plunged into the head of the Deathstalker, blood gushed and a pained screech later it was dead.

Nero noticed that his arm was glowing against the stinger and retracted to look at it. It glowed for a moment before it stopped

"huh" he simply stated.

"That was EPIC!" Dante yelled behind him.

Nero grinned and gave him a high five with both hands but a second later another Deathstalker crashed through the forest beside the dead one and then another on the other side, this one twice as big. Then a swarm of Beowolves, Boarbatusks and Ursas followed.

They stared at them for a while before both simultaneously saying "shit!" before running opposite of each other to draw them from the village.

Dante released a spike of demonic energy to get the creatures attention while Nero's arm naturally gave off demonic power while in use. So the Grimm were split down the middle with who to go after.

Dante ran down the field while one of the Boarbatusks spun into ball rapidly chasing him. Dante looked over his shoulder and smirked he grabbed Rebellion and spun around while drawing the sword to swing at the incoming Grimm like a baseball bat.

"Batter up"! he yelled with glee as the broad side of the blade connected, there was a struggle for two seconds before he forced the creature back.

Dante turned the sword slightly so it would make a decent sized cut as the boarbatusk was sent straight into a Beowolf. The thick quills on the Boarbatusk' back sunk into the Beowolf as they were both sent rolling back.

Dante Angel lifted himself smack in the middle of the pack of Beowolves, all of them converging on the young Nephilm. He took out Osiris and charged it with angelic power making the scythe glow and with a spin he lifted into the sky. Any Beowolf that was not chopped into several pieces were sent ten feet in the air by the angelic power.

While ascending he quickly took out his guns and rapidly hot them in the air while still spinning, as he descended Dante whipped out Ophion's demon form to grab a nearby Beowolf. The Beowolf was dragged towards him in the air and was promptly cut in three different pieces when he used Rebellion to finish it.

Before landing Dante turned Rebellion into Arbiter and swung it towards the Deathstalker, sending out a huge swirling demonic energy reminiscent of the blade of the axe spinning rapidly toward its target.

Somehow the Death stalker knew it would be dangerous and used its oversized claws to block the attack. With a grin Dante descended and swung his oversized battleaxe on the ground ending a wave of destructive demonic energy. The demonic energy looked like a wave sinking and rising in the ground destroying or violently tossing away any and all Grimm in its path until it ended up 'splashing' against the Deathstalker.

This time the Grimm's claws got a slight crack as it stumbled back rearing its claws away in pain. As soon as its head was exposed Dante fired Ophion angelic mode to drag himself across the now clear pathway. Once he was in close proximity he changed Ophion back to Arbiter and rode the momentum.

"Yaaaahh!" with a battle cry Dante swung the weapon down hard on its face.

First there was a loud *CRACK* followed by a *Squelch* of flesh being impacted and finally a loud*SCREEEECH* of pain as the Grimm died. Dante didn't have time to admire his work as a Beowolf lunged at him shortly afterwards.

Dante dive rolled away to dodge the attack, he stopped on his knee turned to face the offender and used Ophion to pull it to him. He then turned it to Arbiter and spun to his feet simultaneously swinging as he turned. The result was Dante hitting the Beowolf square over the head immediately smashing it open and sending it spinning away until it dissolved into nothing.

With a smug grin Dante turned to the surrounding Grimm who eyed him cautiously. "So" he rested rebellion on his shoulder "whose next?"

The surrounding Grimm didn't make a move; Dante rolled his eyes "fine then, I'll just pick one. Now let's see" he pointed his fingers "eeny, meeny, miney, you."

Before any of the Grimm realized Dante shot forward and impaled the largest Grimm present, which happened to be a three meter tall Ursa, he then continued to impale it at great speed making a total of ten holes in its torso before finishing off with a spinning head decapitation.

The Ursa dissolved into nothing at his feet and the Grimm began to back up a bit in fear, Dante saw this and shouted "Next!" before attacking again.

"Dammit!" Nero growled as he dodged the Death Stalker's stinger.

So far nothing's working for him, first of all this one was twice as big as the one he killed before and apparently it was smarter too. Instead of charging in like a mindless monster it allowed the smaller Grimm to attack then tried to attack his flank.

Blue Rose had no effect on its tough armor it even used its claws to cover its eyes so blinding it was impossible plus every time it even looked like he was aiming to shoot its stinger off it moved around so he couldn't get a good shot, rendering the gun virtually useless against it.

He slashed an Ursa, grabbed a Boarbatusk and slammed it hard on the ground killing it. Just then the death stalker charged, Nero blocked with Red Queen but that didn't stop him from flying back on impact.

Nero did a mid air back flip to right himself "great and it's fast too."

He shot two more Beowolves before dive rolling from another of the Deathstalker's charge. He revved up Red Queen before charging with an exceed strike.

'Time to finish this' Nero thought as he delivered a spinning slash with flames coming off the sword.

To Nero's shock the Deathstalker blocked with both claws only leaving scorch marks.

"No" he said as the stinger came down on him.

Without anything else he raised his demonic arm to block, keeping his eyes open so it hit directly on his arm. The stinger came down and was stopped but rather than hitting Nero's arm it hit a giant purple spectral version of it.

This caught both of them off guard but Nero recovered and grabbed for the tail which his spectral arm did. It didn't wrap completely around the tail but it didn't matter, Nero yelled as he turned around and threw the Deathstalker overhead with ease.

The massive Grimm landed on its back revealing the soft underbelly meanwhile it was trying desperately to roll on its leg but to no avail. Not wasting any time Nero ran towards it and revved Red Queen three times and leapt over it and positioned the blade facing down.

Nero came down on the struggling Deathstalker in a fiery blaze with the battle cry "you're dead!"

The boy leapt out of the now dead Grimm and looked around at the Grimm who were thinking twice about attacking. He then looked at his arm it glowed a little and he thought about Dante's Ophion 'I wonder.'

Nero stretched out his arm and to his pleasant surprise the spectral arm came out and grabbed the nearest Grimm which was cut down when it was pulled within striking distance.

"Oh I'm gonna have fun with this."

Ten minutes later

Vergil had all but cleared out the village with minimal collateral damage since they were the ones responsible for leading the Grimm to this place it's the least he could do. He stood at the far distance from the village, guarding the Faunus escape route

"Well" he began "at least they can come back for their valuables when all this is done."

He figured that Dante and Nero were fighting and that he was just picking off the stragglers or any that were airborne. He ran to the other side of the village to see what was happening and true enough they were done fighting and heading towards him.

He could see the three dissolving bodies of giant Scorpions and he couldn't help a scoff but smiled nonetheless. Vergil looked at his watch, apparently they've been fighting for 40 minutes not that fatigue had kicked in, compare to an army of hundreds of thousands of trained demons the Grimm were just warm ups at best.

"I guess you're both finished then?" He said while approaching them.

Nero had a smirk "yeah."

Dante shrugged "meh, they weren't even worth my time." He turned to Nero "seriously what took you so long?"

"Shut up your scorpion was smaller plus I don't have as much weapons as you do!" He spat back.

Dante nodded his head in mock disappointment "it's so sad ain't it Vergil. Little Nero here is blaming his own weapon just because he had a hard time killing an oversized bug."

Nero pulled out blue rose at the same time Dante pulled out Ebony and Ivory and it is at this point Vergil tuned out their bickering. Just then the sound of helicopters could be heard in the distance.

"You two stop fighting we have company." Vergil interrupted.

It's then that the two boys heard helicopters in the distance. They both glanced at each other before holstering their weapons; Nero rolled down his sleeves, no need to make it any more complicated. As the 'helicopters' came into view getting closer

*RRROOOOAAAAARRRR* A roar alerted them and they looked behind to see trees snapping down as something came through them.

The boys watched on as a 60 foot tall mammoth Grimm burst through the forest, it looked at the three approximately 100 meters from it. It made another loud roar before charging, each foot step creating a mini arthquake

"Dibs" Dante and Nero said simultaneously and instantly began glaring at each other.

Vergil sighed and rolled his eyes before grasping Yamato's hilt and stepping forward while drawing the blade slowly.

"We don't have time for this, the last thing I need right now is for that rescue team to deal with this or you two taking your time fighting it." Vergil stuck Yamato in the ground and a burst of blue angelic power enveloped him "so I'll take care of this." He finished as his coat and eyes glowed blue and his hair turned snow white.

A few minutes earlier

Ozpin sipped coffee from his mug as he looked at the scroll in front of him. Two hours ago a strange energy signature appeared in the badlands outside the borders of Vale and shortly after a large concentration of Grimm began converging as if drawn to it.

It was brought to his attention by James Ironwood who sat across from him, although his colleague didn't want to be accompanied on this mission Ozpin insisted. The headmaster of Beacon Academy after learning that there was a small band of Faunus in proximity to the Grimm convergence wanted to be a part of this mission personally.

Although he knew that James was a capable general and his achievements were very well deserved he lacked a certain perspective outside of war. No doubt that while he led the charge against the Grimm Ozpin can lead the Faunus away from the conflict and protect them.

They both sat surrounded by soldiers in a bullhead that was just one of the 10 fleet now airborne and headed for their destination. It is still a mystery as to why so many Grimm are converging on such a small encampment; the council has a fear that the Grimm may have become organized.

No matter how farfetched the idea might seem the number of Grimm could easily number over 80 and the rate at how they are moving he fears they may arrive too late to provide relief effort. Of course for the council killing the Grimm takes priority over rescuing the Faunus inhabiting that area.

"Ozpin we'll be arriving at our destination soon so don't look so glum." Ironwood spoke with a sense of anticipation.

Ozpin took another sip from his mug and sighed, his stoic expression trained on the general "let's be clear James, we are not to harm or mistreat the Faunus in anyway, try and tell your men that before they reach the ground."

James scoffed "don't be so callous Ozpin; my men aren't as barbaric as you've been led to believe."

Ozpin narrowed his eyes at him but before he could respond

"Sir we have visual on what appears to be a group of Faunus leaving the area." The pilot said much to the surprise of Ozpin and Ironwood.

"Are there any Grimm in pursuit?" Ironwood asked

"No sir."

Ozpin and Ironwood looked out the window to see a crowd of Faunus leaving the area in a panic.

"Well there you have it Ozpin, the Faunus' are safe." Ironwood commented before leaving the window.

Ozpin was clearly irritated with James' nonchalant attitude but something didn't quite add up with this situation. How could there be this many survivors, with the amount of Grimm reported they should have been slaughtered but they don't look all that injured.

"We have visual on the village sir." The pilot relayed.

Again Ozpin was shocked as was Ironwood

"The village is virtually untouched" Ozpin commented.

"This doesn't make any sense, then what happened to all the Grimm!?" Ironwood yelled in confusion. "Scan the area again for any signs of life."

"Yes sir."

After a moment the pilot called back "sir we have three life signatures just outside the village borders."

"Take us there pilot." Ironwood called back.

In less than two minutes they came into view of the village outskirts, Ozpin and ironwood could make out three people and judging by their height especially the shortest they could be children. Just then a Goliath charged through the forest clearing facing the three boys.

"A Goliath!?" Ironwood shouted. "All units target the Goliath"

Ozpin didn't say or do anything he just watched the boys' reaction to it, they weren't panicking and when the Goliath charged one of them stepped forward to do something.

"James, wait a moment." Ozpin said suddenly to the confusion of the general.

"What are yo-"he was silenced by Ozpin again

"Just watch" he pointed to the boy who now drew his weapon.

"Belay that order men, I repeat all units stand down." James said while watching the mysterious boy now interested in what he would do.

They watched as dark blue surrounded the boy. The Goliath charged but when it was 10 feet away three giant blue glowing crystal-like swords appeared in the sky and impaled the Goliath in its tracks.

"What!?" the general shouted

Ozpin didn't say anything although his expression showed surprise but he calmed down quickly with a sip from his coffee. He watched as the Grimm struggled to stand but the boy raised his hand and another sword appeared in the sky, the boy dropped his arm and the sword impaled the Goliath through its head.

After a moment of silence to take in what they just witnessed Ironwood spoke "I don't know who those boys are but one of them possess a Semblance that can kill a Goliath as if it were nothing." Ozpin observed a bead of sweat going down his face.

Ozpin could sympathize with his fear, after all the Goliaths were the powerhouses of the Grimm world, having lived for hundreds of years, only veteran Huntsmen and Huntresses would risk a direct confrontation with one let alone a lone boy,then there was that Semblance, could it be a Glyph? If so he's only known Glynda to able to do that kind of summoning and even so nothing like those swords, they looked like...

"Send out the Atlesian Knights to apprehend them" Ironwood ordered preventing any further musings from the Headmaster.

Ozpin gave the man an intense glare "are you serious James!?" his voiced devoid of all calm.

"Oz" he began "this is my mission and for all we know they could be hostile are you telling me to send my living breathing men down there?"

Ozpin didn't respond but his expression didn't change, he took another sip from his mug and turned to the monitors that showed a first person view of what the androids were seeing.

Vergil sheathed Yamato and at the same time it snapped into the scabbard his body returned to normal. He turned to see Nero and Dante looking at him questioningly

"You think it was a good idea to do that in front of them?" Dante pointed to the fleet of bullheads.

"From what I've learned these creatures are the universal enemies of this world plus apparently there are people who posses powers as well. So hopefully we'll be able to pass off as one these people." Vergil finished and Dante nodded.

"So why are they sending out robots then?" Nero noted as six Atlesian Knights approached them.

The androids circled them and Ironwood spoke through the speakers "put your weapons down and come quietly."

Dante folded his arms not even intimidated by them "looks like your plan didn't work." He noted to Vergil.

"To whom am I speaking to?" Vergil asked

"This is General James Ironwood of the Atlas military." He replied

Vergil raised his hands in surrender and calmly stated "I think there is a misunderstanding, we mean you no harm. If you could meet us in person then-"

"We will meet once I have you three in a secure location." He spoke interrupting the teen, this earned annoyed glances from Ozpin, Dante and Nero while Vergil remained calm, on the outside.

"You know what" Dante piped up "screw. This." With that he shot the android squared in the face knocking out his camera.

A moment later gunfire was heard and four more cameras were down and for the last one its guns were cut off by Nero who kicked it on its back. The camera showed Nero with foot on its chest with Blue Rose resting on his shoulder

"Alright here's the deal 'General' you come down here or we leave and please send more droids, we could use the exercise, those Grimm were kinda weak. Until then" he pointed the double barrel to the camera "lights out."

A bang was heard followed by a static screen. Ozpin took another sip from his mug "well that was interesting." He tried to hide his smile.

James was close to yelling but saw that Ozpin was going to the door "where are you going?"

"You heard them James, either we meet them in person or they leave. It's obvious that they are not the least bit intimidated by your army and if they were indeed responsible for driving away a hoard of Grimm then we may be able to make powerful new allies."

With that Ozpin jumped from the bullhead, he fell 20 feet and landed gracefully not even spilling a drop of his coffee. Waiting in front of him were the three boys, from what he observed the youngest looking one was giving him a glare the older one in red had a smirk while the one in blue had a calm expression. He also saw that the blonde boy and the black haired boy looked the same, twins perhaps.

"You know for a general you don't dress the part." Dante noted.

Ozpin shook his head slowly "no I am not James my name is Ozpin." He stated while approaching them with a smile and an extended arm.

Vergil came forward and shook it "my name is Vergil this is my brother Dante and this is a friend of the family Nero." Vergil was cautious about how to address Nero since he never said anything about being a part of the family.

Ozpin saw the Crystal swords impaled into the Goliath and pointed "were you the one who did this?" he asked Vergil

"Yes I did."

"Showoff" Dante muttered earning a look from Vergil.

"We also drove away the Grimm that threatened the village."

Ozpin nodded slowly and looked at said village which barely had any signs of a battle taking place "with little collateral damage."

"Yeah that's because me and Dante were fighting most of them out here" Nero motioned to the outer field where Ozpin saw the corpse of one of the largest Deathstalker he has seen laying on its back slowly dissolving.

"I wouldn't really call it fighting, it's more like one-sided slaughter" Dante corrected.

Ozpin's suspicions were realized, they were indeed the ones who destroyed the army of Grimm, if he played his cards right they may have three new additions towards the fight against the Grimm.

"Tell me, are any of you affiliated with any of the four kingdoms?" he asked out of curiosity.

They glanced at each other and Dante shrugged "that's the thing we're not really from here."

Ozpin raised an eyebrow "what do you mean?"

"For starters we're not from Remnant" Vergil began "we woke up here a few hours ago and met a Faunus girl by the name of Alice who gave us bits of information on our surroundings. She was supposed to have given us a map so we could get to civilization but then the Grimm attacked so we had to defend the village and well, here we are."

If Ozpin was surprised he hid it well, all he did was nod and sipped from his mug effectively finishing his coffee.

"Well Vergil, I may be able to provide a place for you to stay with knowledge of Remnant and the Grimm."

Nero scoffed "by what, joining your stupid army? What are you Ironwood's second in command or something?"

Ozpin shook his head "no, I propose you enroll at Beacon academy a school for which I am its Headmaster."

"A school?" Nero said caught off guard "you're kidding right?"

"I guess it's not a 'normal' school?" Vergil asked.

"It is a school where we train our students into becoming the finest Huntsmen and Huntresses in fighting the Grimm."

Vergil held his chin in thought and Dante instantly caught on.

"Oh c'mon Verg you're not seriously thinking about this, I mean we don't need to learn how to kill these things."

"And what would you have us do in the meantime Dante?" He shot back "Obviously we're going to be here for a long while. Where else could we learn about this world?"

Dante was caught, as much as he hated the idea of going to school his brother was right. "Fine" he muttered.

Vergil turned to Nero whose brows were furrowed "whatever" he said.

Vergil turned to Ozpin "we accept your proposal Mr. Ozpin." With that they shook on it.

Author's Notes: Okay time to clear the air Nero's Devil Bringer looks the same except replace the blue cracks with purple since he has direct connections with Sparda instead of Vergil. Keep that connection Dante: Red, Vergil: Blue, Nero: Purple

Now I know I owe some explanation as to how they ended up there and I will admit I did write a prologue detailing the history of their parent's relationship and basically explained how things in this Alternate Universe works for DMC. But you what I said "fuck it" let's add some mystery to the mix, all will be revealed in due time and you will find out just as the cast of RWBY will so SUCK IT UP.

I will say that all of my chapters will more or less be this long. With around 4 fanfiction going on, 2 that I update weekly I just did this because the idea was cool so I need breathing room for when school starts.

Please Review Favorite and Follow, hopefully this would be the best RWBY/DMC crossover. Hopefully.
