How Would The 4 Horseman React To Sparda From Devil May Cry?

How would the 4 Horseman react to Sparda from Devil May Cry?

Oh this is a good one! I've always wanted to take a stab at Devil May Cry/Darksiders Crossover!

Death

. At first hearing about a new kind of Demon Lord, his reaction is "Ugggh...Not another one.". He kinda assumes he'll eventually meet him to hunt him down.

. But once he finds this is a powerful demon.....that fights against hell to protect humanity, color him surprised.

. In all his years of combating hell's legions that endanger the balance, here's one literally fighting against the grain and doing...good? Perish the thought. But even he can't deny it's a good kind of different

. Despite him not really believing it at first, if they were to meet, good chance Death will not try to pick a fight. He doesn't know how powerful Sparda is, and same on the other end. So first meeting could go many ways, but most likely not end in bloodshed.

. Maybe along the line could see him as an ally if things got bad on Earth. After all, Death went through quite a journey to bring back humanity, and a demon that has sworn to protect them is sure to get along.

. His shapeshifting ability would intrigue the old horsemen thought, and to take on the appearance of a human indefinitely is no small feat.

. If Death were to find out that Sparda had twin sons with a human, his immediate thought is. "Wonderful, more Nephilim spawn to torment my existence." (In Biblical texts, their version of a Nephilim is children from the union of Demon/Fallen angel with a human).

War

. At first thinks it's just another demon lord he will have to kill to preserve the balance.

. No joke, they might fight upon first meeting depending on how it goes. Mostly to test his strength and to ascertain if this isn't just some weak demon under the influence of Lucifer.

. But then afterward, might chill out a bit. It really depends.

. Once he finds out that Sparda is not your run of the mill Demon Lord in the sense that he fights against what all demons stand for, War would be willing to be Chaoseater away.

. Besides Vulgrim and occasionally the tense alliances with Samael, this would be a demon he could get along with much better.

. Would note the power Sparda wields, maybe even have a slight respect for him.

. In all essence, Sparda is an ally he has no qualms with teaming up with if push comes to shove.

Fury

. When she heard about a Demon lord from another realm that actually protects humanity...she is gonna laugh. Not just because she finds it hard to believe, but the irony.

. A Demon's purpose is to corrupt and destroy, why would one go through the trouble of fighting the demonic nature?

. She would have to see it to believe it, cuz she would not take any chances. Is more then willing to try and kill him if he gets in her way.

. Upon first meeting, while he is charismatic and well spoken for a demon (Sort of like Abraxis), it's not hard to deny this is a different kind of amicability not laced with deceit.

. While she normally likes working alone, even she can't deny having allies or uneasy acquaintances in strange places would be a benefit.

. In all honesty likes Sparda more than Vulgrim. Less likely to steal your soul or manipulate you to carry out favors for him.

. Is willing to be on peaceful terms, so long as he doesn't try anything, because she is more than willing to retract that kindness and unleash Scorn on him.

Strife

. A Demon lord that protects Humanity? This he has to see.

. If he were to meet Sparda in his true form, ngl would ask "So uhhhh...why a giant bug? No offense". Don't know how Sparda would react, but Strife is just curious.

. If human Sparda, oh all the questions he would have. Cuz Strife himself has that ability too.

. Essentially, he is more likely out of the four to truly get along with Sparda, for him being a demon, he keeps to his word. Which is rare, and he can respect that.

. Since Sparda has some note of omnipotence, would probably notice that Strife's personality and mannerisms bear a resemblance with his son Dante in the future. Depending on if he can see that far.

. If Strife found out that he has kids with a human, he does not hold back. " Wait wait wait.......You can do that?!"

. Is more than willing to fight alongside if push came to shove

(Sorry if it seems a little ooc, first time writing about anything DMC, so bear with me. Thank you for the ask!)

What does everyone else think of male fury

Not that honest, War

Here's another prompt for you, this one may be a little cute. I know I'm wondering about it.

Ava catching Death listening to various tunes and singing along to them. The following songs I could see him singing along to for damn sure.

Anything by Creed will do, but mainly his favorites are between Overcome, With Arms Wide Open, My Own Prison, & Weathered.

Disturbed is another where just about any song will do. In this case it's a pick your poison type of thing. Though you'd probably have an easier time catching him singing Darkness, Overburdened, or their cover of Sound of Silence. Maybe Land of Confusion on rare occasion. I could see Death enjoying good covers of older songs.

Loreena McKennitt is a world music singer and composer as she herself would likely put it. Mostly her main influences are between Celtic and Middle Eastern. Of her work, I could see him most easily being caught singing The Old Ways(my ult fave of hers), The Highwayman(basically just the poem slightly shortened down into a 10 min song), All Souls Night, or Skellig.

I'm a music nerd and honestly could go on for hours on what songs I think he'd openly sing. But I don't wanna make this too long now. Hell maybe you have an idea of what song or songs Ava could catch Death singing along to at times. Hell perhaps if he's using headphone at the time, she may only hear his voice in particular. What do you think of this one? Could see Death getting real embarrassed if he was overheard through a whole song and realized he was watched.

[I had the HARDEST time picking out a song for this prompt, but then I was introduced to the song, "Forsaken" by the lead singer of Disturbed, and all of THIS(☝️) just popped into my head.]

Short summary; Death went off for some reason or another. Ava followed him out of concern, caught him in a "Frozen-Like" moment, and snuck away before she was caught.

It's a memory she'll carry with her to the grave.

Strife, tell us about your siblings embarrassing past? Was Death a Belieber? Did War enjoy watching Teletubbies? Was Fury smoking weed and collecting pogs?

Throwback to when Death was a scene goth am I right? Could be worse though, at least he wasn’t a cyber-dance-punk like Azrael was.

Bonus:

A lot of people requested that I tackle more Hades fanart designs for the remaining Olympians, which is a really fun challenge to undertake! Thank you all for your positive response to my Apollo and Hector designs. <3 This time around, I wanted to take on designing Hestia.  The challenge this time around was trying to give her very much her own distinct design feel that suited her as a goddess, but also had some design elements that would key in that she’s related to Demeter, so that was the approach I took. :D
