Rate my original DMC6 story premise
Just thinking about what a fun premise for DMC6 would be and came up with this:
Mundus left a portion of his soul on Alastor, unbeknownst to the DMC crew all these years. He has been slowly regenerating in Hell. Trish started using Alastor since Sparda got slurped up into Dante. She has a daughter and Mundus creates a powerful demon that kills Trish and her partner, leaving their daughter an orphan, a new half demon protagonist.
Mundus manipulates her through Alastor to convince her that Dante, whom she had never met or known of, is responsible for her parents death and convinces her she must travel to Hell to kill him; Mundus cannot hope to kill Dante, who has stayed there all this time. So he plans to make this new half demon protagonist strong enough to do it for him and eventually possess her body when he completely regenerates.
So a rogue-like adventure ensues where she is traveling through levels of Hell to try and get to Dante and kill him for revenge, not knowing the real history. Mundus convincing her that Dante is sending demons to try and stop her.
Nero finds out about her and initially thinks she is just a brave Devil hunter trying to kill the demon that killed her parents before finding out she is trying to kill Dante, so there would be a rivalry between them for a bit. This would make for a cool Nero boss fight. Eventually a Dante boss fight, and then she would learn the truth and the final boss would be a deformed amalgamation of a still regenerating Mundus.
Nero would be playable with a few new devil breakers and moves and he could become a mentor character, Vergil could be another boss fight and mentor, there would be a secondary villain boss fight for the demon that actually killed her dad and Trish. Nico and Lady could be weapons crafters and make upgrades for her. And Dante and Lady could be DLC.
Maybe we’ll get a DMC6 one day, right? Right?
