How about filled with a child and anger? Possible future project. VergilLeon/NeloLeon
(Summary: Good news: Leon and Sherry donât immediately get picked up by the US Government post Raccoon City and shortly after their departure with Claire.Â
Bad News: Theyâre taken by demons in disguise who work for Mundus...though itâs not totally bad because theyâre âgiftedâ to Nelo Angelo. The demon knight takes pity on them because he is reminded of what had happened to his mother. When Nelo hears of what the two had endured, he respects them both and even grew to love Leon and care for Sherry as if she were his own pup.)
Rated M for off-screen sexy times, language, and gore. Canon Typical stuff.Â
____________________________________________________________
Leon shifted uncomfortably, wearing the attire of this ârealmâ as that crazy creature looking thing put it. The supposed âKingâ of the âUnderworldâ and all that jazz. Leon found all of this to be insane and he was quietly wondering if he and Sherry had been taken by some angry failed Umbrella experiments. But these things did things that even âvirusesâ couldnât do. At least...he didnât think they could, he did see some crazy shit in Raccoon City.Â
And then there was this Nelo Angelo guy who looked pretty normal underneath the helmet and armor, at least, as normal as one could look when they had gray skin, black veins and red orbs and snow white hair. At least he was human looking, and Leon had wondered if he had once been a prisoner like them. From the few times he had taken the Omega, Leon didnât end up infected with anything and he smelled like a normal Alpha.Â
Though, there was a hint of a scent that was a bit off, but not rancid like Mundus or the other whatever the fuck they were. Leon often wondered what Nelo had done to deserve the constant mocking and insults from Mundus. The Demon King often called Nelo âhalf-breedâ or âabominationâ along with mocking his motherâs death and his fatherâs dishonor. It had been after one particularly violent dinner that Nelo had Leon and Sherry eat in his quarters from then on, the knight eating with them, but never saying a word.Â
Come to think of it, Leon had never heard the Alpha say much of anything, even during sex. It had been mostly growls and grunts then. The only time Leon had heard his voice was when the knight told them where everything was in his humble abode. And even then, it was mostly one word sentences in a quiet, almost strained voice.Â
Leon laid on the bed with Sherry, the little girl reading a book she had procured from Neloâs collection of books. She wore a simple blue night gown as she cuddled up to the Omega, both of them unable to sleep due to nightmares. Leon pulled at the clothes he wore, feeling a bit cold. He wore a simple white buttoned down shirt and soft black pants. He wasnât sure if they were supposed to be sleep clothes or lounge wear here, but he wore them because they were the comfiest things he could find. Nelo hadnât come home yet either from whatever he had been tasked to do.Â
Sherry was a smart girl but she struggled a bit with the complex reading, asking Leon to help her with some words and what they meant. The story itself read much like a fairytale. This one told a tale of a human woman named Eva falling for a demon knight named Sparda. Leon listened and occasionally helped read, finding himself very invested in the story as well. Two people, or well, a demon and a human, who had fallen in love, so much so, the demon gave up his power and position to be with her, sealing off the Gates of Hell so their family could be safe. He had done some other things, but Leon had no idea what they were, but he assumed it was all very honorable.Â
âOh no, I read ahead by accident!â Sherry exclaimed suddenly, âI donât know if I want to read anymoreâŚâÂ
âWhy?â Leon asked curiously, âWhat happens?âÂ
Sherry swallowed down a breath before pointing to the part she had read ahead to. Leon looked down at it, feeling a little disappointed, âOh no...he disappears?âÂ
Sherry nodded, âUh huh...what about Eva? And their sons?âÂ
Leon tried to maintain a bit of optimism, saying that they could keep reading and see if he maybe came back to be with them. Sherry nodded, hoping that he did because she would be very disappointed if he didnât.Â
âHe doesnât.â A voice by the door said.Â
Leon and Sherry looked up, seeing Nelo standing there with his helmet under his arm, âOh, sorry, we didnât hear you.â Leon apologized, about to get up to help the elder out of his armor but Nelo held up a hand, telling Leon to lie back down, so that he could take care of his own armor.
âOhâŚâ Sherry deflated at the news, âHe doesnât?âÂ
âNo.â Nelo replied with a shake of his head, setting the armor on itâs rack, standing before them in black slacks, âSadly, he doesnâtâŚâÂ
âSpoiler Alert.â Leon sighed, about to close the book, but Sherry protested, âHe doesnât come back, Sherry Berry.âÂ
âBut I want to know what happens to his family!âÂ
âNo, you donât.â Nelo said, âTrust me...especially since the story is based on a true story.âÂ
Leon and Sherry looked up at the man with twin looks that were a mix of confusion and shock. Nelo sat on the side of the end of the bed, gently taking the book from Leonâs hands, closing it and looking at the cover sadly. He ran his clawed hand over the symbol on the cover, giving it a longing look before setting it down on the bed next to him.Â
He turned to Leon and Sherry, both still watching him curiously, âHave you two eaten dinner yet?â He asked nonchalantly, changing the subject.Â
Leon nodded, still in awe at the sound of the Alphaâs voice, âYes, but I can prepare you dinner if you want, even though itâs late.âÂ
âNo, thank you.â Nelo simply replied, âI shall make something for myself. You two try to get some sleep.âÂ
Leon and Sherry watched as the Alpha stood once more, taking the book with him. Waiting for the door to shut behind Nelo, Sherry looked up at Leon, asking him if he thought the story had been real. He merely shrugged, saying that it wasnât entirely impossible to believe, considering all that they had seen and experienced. Sherry then asked what might have happened to the family, the little girl obviously looking a bit distressed.Â
â...Iâm not sure.â Leon replied, gently brushing gold locks out of her eyes, â...But we can make-up a happy ending for them.âÂ
Sherry smiled and nodded as Leon tried to recall where they had left off before making up the ending for the little family. One where the father came back and saved his wife and children from some bad demons. The little girl listened intently, seemingly a bit more at ease with their ending, blue eyes fluttering closed as she laid her head on his chest. After Leon had said that they lived happily ever after, and once Sherry had drifted off to sleep, the Omega carefully carried the little girl to her own room. After tucking her in, he gently kissed her forehead before quietly exiting her room. The door slowly closed behind him with a soft click.Â
Leon looked from the intricately detailed door to the living room area where Nelo now sat. The tall being now sitting on the couch, watching the now lit fireplace before him. Leon decided to not go back to their shared room, deciding to sit with him instead. As he approached, he noticed the room didnât smell of food, but Leon could faintly smell the scent of tea. Jasmine? Green Tea? Maybe a mix of both?Â
As he sat beside the man, he could smell the flowery fragrance, seeing the porcelain teacup between his hands, âYouâre having jasmine tea for dinner?âÂ
Nelo hummed, not turning his attention away from the burning embers in the fireplace, listening to the crackling sound, âIâm not hungryâŚâÂ
Leon gave him a sympathetic look, unable to read the expression on the Alphaâs features, âAre you okay?âÂ
Nelo stared ahead for a moment longer before slowly turning his head and looking at Leon, blood red orbs staring into his own, âDo I look okay to you?âÂ
The Omega studied his features, looking at the black veins that stood so prominent under the gray skin, running like inky rivers of black through bare fields of ash and smoke. The red eyes reminded Leon of blood, and suddenly the Omega found himself seeing flashes of teeth rip through flesh, the same blood red smeared across said teeth, rotten flesh and tattered clothes. He then saw flashes of the pools of blood and the spatters that splashed across the walls and windows of the RPDâs Waiting Room, staining and clashing against the blue of the wallpaper and the tiled floor. All he could hear were the growls and snarls of the hideous undead, the screeching and roaring of monsters.Â
Leon turned his eyes away from Nelo, gasping as his breathing picked up. He clenched his eyes shut as he tried to regain his composure, pushing the traumatic memories to the back of his mind before he could suffer another panic attack. Nelo scoffed beside him, and Leon could see the man shake his head out of the corner of his eye.
âThought so.â Nelo merely said, turning to stare at the fireplace again, sipping at his tea before settling the cup back on the saucer, âYou canât even look at me now...I havenât been okay in a long time.âÂ
âNoâŚâ Leon whispered with shaken breaths, âItâs not...you, specifically.âÂ
Nelo raised a brow, looking back at the Omega. Leon looked at Nelo, trying to focus on the manâs eyes without losing it again. The Omega was definitely shaken up, but he pushed the fear back down, explaining that it wasnât Nelo exactly. It was Leonâs own fucked up brain, his screwed up memories and even more terrifying nightmares. Thatâs why he and Sherry were still awake when the Alpha had returned.Â
âWeâre still not over what happened in RaccoonâŚâ Leon admitted, swallowing the lump in his throat, âAll that blood...all those monsters. Christ, even Sherryâs own father tried to kill her, for fuckâs sake. Itâs like, who the fuck would do this? Why? Normal people like you and me turned into...these fucking things out of a horror movie...and for what? Some military contract? Money? Why?!âÂ
Nelo listened intently, havenât not heard Leonâs tale before this. He had been curious when Mundus mentioned that Sherry and Leon were âExtraordinary Creaturesâ, saying that they had âearned the honorâ of not being made food or breeding mules. Hence why they had been âgiftedâ to Nelo, but the Alpha himself often wondered what made them so special...until now.Â
These monsters...were they demons? Or made into beastly creatures by demons? Sherry smelled tainted, not like any human he had ever encountered, but she never changed or acted strangely. Nelo didnât sense danger when around her, so there was no way she was a demon. And Leon smelt like a normal human Omega...though, Leonâs scent now smells slightly off. Not like a heat...but there was something else. Something new.Â
Leon went into the whole process of how he and Sherry had been found by Mundusâs men, who had been looking for something but had found Leon and Sherry instead. They had disguised themselves as normal looking humans, wearing military gear and Leon explained that he and Sherry thought they were the rescue team. He thought they were there looking to help any survivors.Â
âAnd then there was this flash of light and then we were...hereâŚâ Leon noticed that Nelo was sniffing at his hair and then moving to smell around his face and neck, âAre you even listening? What are you doing?âÂ
âI heard you.â Nelo admitted, setting the teacup down on the coffee table in front of them before grabbing Leon by the leg and pulling, the Omega falling backward onto the couch cushions, âYou smell off.âÂ
âWhat?â Leon asked in confusion, Nelo climbing on top of him, drawing a sound of protest as Nelo unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it open, âHey!âÂ
âYou weren't planted with anything, were you?â Nelo asked, hands settling on the Omegaâs chest, glowing a dark blue as he continued to smell the younger, âMundus didnât stick anything inside of you or the girl?âÂ
Leon furrowed his brows up at the Alpha, âNo. I wouldnât even let him or his assholes near Sherry.âÂ
Nelo kept âfriskingâ the younger, his hand glowing as he scanned it over Leonâs form. Not only did the human smell weird, but the Alpha sensed a demonic energy inside of Leon, so he had been a bit paranoid that Mundus had done something to the human to spite him. His hand stopped at Leonâs stomach, or rather the area where his womb was, the glow turning from dark blue to a color Nelo hadnât seen sinceâŚ
...His palm was now glowing a bright baby blue color, and Nelo felt a sense of familiarity. A sense of peaceâŚlike when he was a child. He laid his head against the Omegaâs womb, his hand touching Leonâs stomach. If Dante couldnât succeed in defeating Mundus and falling to the demon king...then there was still hope inside of the Omega.
Leon looked down at the elder, noticing that there were tears in his eyes before the Alpha shut them, âNelo?âÂ
Nelo looked up at him, lying in Leonâs lap, âYou carry the last hope for your world should my brother fall to Mundus.âÂ
At the youngerâs even more confused and shocked expression, Nelo explained that the story Leon and Sherry had read had indeed been a true story...a story about Neloâs own family. He told Leon the full story, how his father, Sparda, had been the greatest warrior in all of the underworld. He was the most powerful demon knight who had led Mundusâs army and had been the demonâs right hand man. He helped Mundus win many battles in the underworld before Mundus looked to move on to the human world.Â
But Sparda soon realized that what Mundus had been doing was wrong. He wanted to save humanity...so he did. He had defeated Mundus and sealed off the Gates of Hell across the world. He had done this for thousands of years, defeating any demons who threatened the Earth or threatened to open the Gates. He defended humanity and acted as their savior.Â
âAnd then, in the twentieth centuryâŚâ Nelo began, drifting off as he thought of his mother, feeling a wave of guilt wash over him.
âHe met your mother, Eva.â Leon realized, recalling the story he and Sherry read, âAnd she gave birth to you and your brother...which twin are you?âÂ
Nelo called forth a sword with what little strength he had left, the once mighty katana looking quite worn and fragile.
â...VergilâŚâ Leon recalled, looking over the katana, remembering the description of the swords given to each twin, âThatâs theâŚ? Is that the one Mundus is looking for? Wouldnât he have just read that book to find out what happened to it?âÂ
The demon knight shook his head, âThe book came from a forbidden archive in a city in the human world. A city called Fortuna.â Nelo explained, âItâs also where they had been keeping my sword for safekeeping...until I found out what they had been trying to do with it.âÂ
âWhat were they doing with it?â Leon asked, âWhat does it do? Why is Mundus looking for it?âÂ
Nelo explained that the sword is imbued with demonic energy, itâs so powerful that it could cut through anything, it could even cut open gateways between realms and worlds. It had been one of the swords that sealed off one of the Gates in Fortuna. It had been forged by his father, and was as strong as the user wielding it.Â
The Alpha gave it a sad look, âUnfortunately, due to my own callousness...I am no longer worthy of its power...and the Yamato is weak in my possession.âÂ
Nelo continued on, saying that he had opened one of the gates in order to procure his fatherâs power from Hell, nearly destroying the human world while he was at it. He hoped to make himself stronger...but in doing so he had failed and fell into the netherworld, encountering Mundus at the same time. Sadly, he had failed at that too, and now he was Mundusâs servant and knight.Â
Leon looked at him in horror, âYou...you did what?!â He asked, pulling himself out from under the Alpha, backpedalling to the otherside of the couch, âYouâre one of the bad guys then?âÂ
âYou donât understand,â Nelo said, shaking his head, sitting back on his knees and looking up at the Omega, âI had to. I needed to become stronger...without strengthâŚâÂ
âBullshit!â Leon exclaimed, standing before the man and feeling a sense of betrayal, âPeople could have died!âÂ
âHumanity is weak.â Nelo insisted, âNot all of it, but a lot of humanity is weak. Frail, helpless, fragile. It can end in an instant. Humans give in to temptation, greed, anger...they kill one another for frivolous things and reasons, oblivious to the true evil that lies beneath them.âÂ
âNot all of us!â Leon hollered, pointing an accusatory finger at the Alpha, âSome of us have morals and give a shit about others. Thatâs the reason I joined the force! To serve and protect the people! Yeah, thereâs a bunch of bad apples who want to fuck everyone over for their own selfish reasons, Iâve seen it first hand! Iâve fucking fought through it! But you know what? Itâs up to us to stop those people! To be better than them! Not become them!âÂ
Leon was red in the face now, âAnd demons like your father saw that! He helped the humans! Despite the assholes, he helped humanity! He loved your mother and he loved you and your brother! And now youâre spitting in their faces!âÂ
The Omega was now pacing in front of the coffee table, anger radiating off of the younger in waves, reminding Nelo of an angry Lion in a cage, seconds from pouncing, âYou donât have to have all this power to be strong! Thatâs not strength! Strength comes from within! Itâs the ability to get knocked down, get back up, dust yourself off and keep going! I didnât inject myself with any of those fucking viruses to make myself âstrongerâ! I kept fighting and kept going! I had to for Claire and Sherryâs sake!âÂ
Now it was Neloâs turn to be stunned silent, looking up at the human before him. As much as he wanted to strike the Omega down for speaking to him in such a manner, he found he didnât have it in him. He couldnât. On one hand, a part of him was angry, the demon inside wanting to know what right the human had to speak to him in such a manner. On the other hand, what little remained of his humanity respected Leonâs courage and outspoken nature, silently agreeing with him.Â
He had never encountered a human that didnât immediately kiss his ass or bow to him in fear. Or encourage his behavior because of his fatherâs name or in hopes of tasting the power he had or was trying to acquireâŚÂ
...he could see why Mundus hadnât killed Leon. Mundus preyed on fear...but Leon didnât seem like one who was easily scared. He obviously was never one to beg for his life either. Nelo stood, going toward the still ranting Omega whom he had only admired for his physical attributes and sweetness, but now also admired for his fire and strength. The Omega who was now carrying his child and would lead them down a path to a better life...a path he himself could no longer follow.Â
He would get them and Sherry out of here. When he would inevitably be sent after his brother in the human world, he would leave them somewhere safe. Or he would find a way to get them to safety sooner.Â
â...and I will be damned if I let you do anything to Sherry or...mmph!â Leon was cut-off by lips capturing his own for a searing kiss.Â
A muffled protest left the Omega, pulling away for a moment, âOh no you donât! Youâre not gonna change my mind...HEY!â Leon exclaimed, the Alpha lifting him up and carrying him over his shoulder, picking up the Yamato on the way to the bedroom, âHEY! PUT ME DOWN! WE ARE NOT DONE HERE!âÂ
âYou are going to rest,â Nelo said, âAnd then tomorrow, you and I will discuss your means of escape. Your friend is still on her way to Europe to find her brother, yes?âÂ
Leon stopped struggling, looking at the back of the manâs head, âClaire? Yeah. Why? You better notâŚwait, escape?âÂ
âIâll help her or her brother. Whomever I find first.â Nelo informed the Omega, bumping the bedroom door open with the toe of his boot, âAnd then I will make arrangements with them to guarantee yours, Sherryâs and the child within youâs safety. Youâll keep and hide the Yamato and carry our child in exchange for me helping you.âÂ
He set Leon down on the bed, blue eyes looking up in shock at Nelo, âWait...thereâs a baby inside of me?!âÂ
