Hello all Storm here with a new story! This idea came after playing and beating Devil May Cry 5, great game that I highly recommend, and will likely do another story like this one as Vergil is to cool to only be limited to being in one story! Also there will be spoilers in this for those that haven't played DMC 5 or don't already know the plot of it. So, without further ado.
I own nothing
The Schnee Family home was a large manor with the interior being in various shades of white, grey, and blue. The courtyard behind the manor is surrounded by archways, with a large fountain at the end. The fountain has the Schnee emblem on it with wings around it. It has two gardens with small hedges with the stone ground having flower symbols engraved in them.
Currently the courtyard was occupied by a single person, an eight-year-old boy. The boy had spiky snow white hair, a pale fair complexion, and pale blue eyes. His attire consisted of a black zipped-up turtleneck, dark green pants, and tall brown boots with two golden buckles at the top.
This boy was Naruto Schnee, the older twin brother to Weiss Schnee.
Currently Naruto was holding a practice O-Katana as he stood in his stance while he grabbed the swords hilt. Breathing in deeply Naruto pulled blade slightly out of the scabbard with click.
'Judgement Cut.' Thought Naruto sliding back while appearing to have only unsheathed and resheathed his blade
Only a distortion of air to go out from him before a vortex of sword slashes appeared in front of him slashing apart one of stone pillars leaving several gashes in the stone. Once the vortex vanished Naruto walked up to the pillar running his hand along the marks his attack left with a frown.
'Still not good enough, that should have cut clean through it.' Naruto thought disappointed knowing he still had a lot of work to do
Turning away from the pillar Naruto headed back inside the manor only to be greeted by twin.
"Naruto I require a sparring partner." Weiss said with her hands on her hips
"Then go find Winter, I'm sure she'll entertain you for a while." Said Naruto walking past her
"I can't she's at the Academy right now. Besides I need someone I know I can beat." Weiss said rather arrogantly in Naruto's opinion
Not even giving a response to this Naruto continued on his way leaving his sister to get angry at him ignoring her.
Just because she was given the best tutors the Schnee money can buy she believes she's better than him, simply because he refused any help from any combat tutors. After all why would he need any help from tutors when all the help he needs come from his on memories.
It has been happening for as long as Naruto can remember, he would have dreams of another life one not his own, memories of a man with seemingly limitless power at his disposal. It didn't take Naruto long to realize it was possible that these memories were possibility the result of him seeing a past life of himself.
A life where he was once Vergil, a Son of Sparda and older twin brother to Dante.
The memories Naruto has seen so far mostly just revolve around Vergil's fighting style with the Yamato blade and his fights with his brother Dante. It was useful to Naruto to be able to learn Vergil's Dark Slayer Style, though he knows it won't be on the same level as Vergil's mastery of the style, not unless he had the Yamato.
'I can only make due with regular swords until I can either regain the Yamato or find a blade close enough to its power.' Naruto thought looking at his practice sword clenched in his hand
Power, he needs more power.
*Timeskip-Three Years*
"Never in my life did I think you would embarrass our family in such a way Naruto! Do you have any idea what you did?!" Jacques demanded glaring down at his oldest son who didn't flinch or look away, in fact he looked bored
"I backhanded an annoying little shit." Naruto stated without any remorse which only fueled to anger Jacques further
The reason for this was due to earlier that night a party was hosted at the Schnee Manor, with Weiss opening with one of her performances. Personally Naruto thought such things were pointless and only served to make his father look good in front of other like-minded fools.
Naruto's relationships with his family have only deteriorated as time passed, with Winter joining the Atlas Military, his mother Willow turning to alcoholism to cope with being married to a cold and uncaring man, Weiss turning into a perfect little princess, and Naruto just simply hated his father and his younger brother Whitley who despite being only ten-years-old was already turning into a mini-Jacques.
Naruto still remembered when things had gotten even worse on his and Weiss's tenth birthday when their father didn't show up. When their mother confronted him about it, Jacques finally admitted that he only married their mother for the Schnee family name. Judging by Weiss's and their mothers expression Naruto felt they already knew and Jacques simply confirmed it, Naruto already knew this since it wasn't hard to tell that someone like Jacques could only ever care about themselves and increasing their status.
After that it was separate dinners, separate balconies at Weiss's recitals, a glass of wine here a glass of wine there. Then it was no dinners, no recitals, and entire bottles of wine leading to an even worse childhood than when Jacques would come home angry over something the White Fang did.
Personally Naruto thought they were acting like children throwing tantrums rather than grown adults, if his mother was so unhappy then she could just divorce Jacques and take back the SDC considering it was hers by blood, all the claim Jacques had was that he married into the family.
But back to the matter at hand.
After an hour at the party Naruto planned to leave, unfortunately he was stopped by a rather annoying brat, the son of one of Jacques's many questionable business partners. The brat didn't seem to take the hint when Naruto continuously walked away from him, just kept following him and talking about some nonsense Naruto didn't really care about. Finally Naruto told the brat that he had no desire to be around some snot-nosed trust fund brat who's only friends are ones that he paid.
And yes he said those exact words to him.
The brat took offense to that and threatened to tell his parents unless Naruto apologized. Naruto's response had been to punch him in the face in front of the entire party and all the guests.
This lead to Jacques dragging Naruto to his office and shouting at him for nearly half an hour while Naruto looked on bored.
"Hm, you say something." Naruto said looking to Jacques who scowled at his son not paying attention
"I said you will go out there and apologize to everyone for that embarrassing display and to the boy you hit, is that clear." Jacques demanded, Naruto pondering over his words
"I'll consider it…" Naruto said, Jacques about to order him to do it until Naruto spoke again
"When mother stops drinking, the Grimm take over the world, and hell freezes over." Finished Naruto
Jacques was now shaking in anger while his face turned red.
"That's it! Your misbehavior has gone on long enough, as of this moment you are no longer the heir of the Schnee Dust Company that title now goes to Weiss!" Jacques shouted, though Naruto still remained unfazed
"Go ahead." Said Naruto with a shrug, surprising Jacque having hoped that would finally get the desired reaction from his son
"Make Weiss the heiress, I don't really care cause at the end of the day it doesn't matter. You know why?" Naruto asked rhetorically before speaking again not giving Jacques time to respond
"It's because I actually have Schnee blood in me, but you, you can only claim the name through marriage, without that you're nothing." Said Naruto with a small smirk
This caused Jacques's already red face to begin turning purple before he brought his hand up then down at Naruto. Though just before his hand could connect with Naruto's face, it was stopped by Naruto grabbing his wrist. His smirk widening Naruto began squeezing Jacques wrist tightly making the man wince in pain. Kicking his feet out under him Naruto brought Jacques down to his eye level.
Before Jacques could anything Naruto threw him over his shoulder where he slammed against the back wall into his portrait before falling to the ground. Then he started screaming in pure agony.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jacques screamed as he clenched his right stump where his arm used to be
Naruto smirked at his fathers screams of pain and agony while he held his severed right arm, which he had torn straight off at the elbow. After listening to Jacques screams of pain a while longer Naruto finally got tired and punched the man in the face knocking him out. Throwing the severed arm into the air Naruto created an orange glyph below as the arm caught fire before being burned to ash thus ending any chance of it being reattached.
The reason Naruto ripped Jacques arm was rather simple, he wanted to finally show the bastard he wasn't all-powerful and Naruto knew he wouldn't reveal the truth of how it happened as that'd mean revealing he was attacked and crippled by his own son and Jacques's pride wouldn't allow him to let anyone know a child brought him to his knees.
For now though he has some packing to do, he wants to be out of Atlas long before Jacques wakes up or anyone finds before he bleeds out.
*Timeskip-Four Years*
In outskirts on the continent of Anima a raven bird was seen flying in the sky looking down at the ground below before spotting a cave. Flying down low the raven immediately transformed into a woman who landed on the ground in the front of the cave.
The woman had long jet black hair tied by a red bandanna and loosely done up in a ponytail with the ends resembling curved black feathers, while a full-face Grimm mask resembling a Nevermore covered her face. Her attire consisted of a shallow cut black and red dress with black shorts underneath, with series of beaded necklaces and a belt that wraps around her waist and carries her weapon's sheath. Attached also is a long black object that is either fur or feathers, with a red and white bandana material like hanging from behind her. Her forearms bear red armored gauntlets that protrude outwards and solid black gloves. She wore black mid-thigh high leggings and black heels with red soles.
This woman was Raven Branwen, leader of the Branwen Tribe, and, as of eight years ago, the new Spring Maiden.
'It should be here.' Raven thought entering the cave with her hand on her blade ready to draw at a moment's notice
Not to long ago Raven had heard rumors of an O-Katana hidden somewhere on the outskirts of Anima, from what she's heard the blade was apparently a powerful one with supposedly magical powers as no matter what anyone tries no one has been able to grab it without getting a rather painful shock.
'If it's true and this thing does have magic powers than perhaps my Maiden powers will let me take it.' Raven thought
Plus it never hurts to have a powerful weapon to go along with her own powers, just another tool to better protect her tribe from Salem and Ozpins little war.
'And there it is.' Thought Raven entering a large antechamber where she saw the O-Katana floating in midair in the center of the chamber
Getting the closer look Raven had to admit it was a beautifully crafted blade. The guard is an oval, and the tsuka-ito seems to be braided from white and dark blue material. The blade features several intricate ornaments, most notable is a relief of a dragon at the endpoint of the hilt. The scabbard is black, made of traditional lacquered wood, and features several metallic ornaments on its far end along with a navy blue sageo, the cord used to tie the katana to the waist.
'Yeah this is definitely going to be mine.' Raven thought smirking behind her mask reaching to grab the sword making sure to activate her Maiden powers so as to not be shocked
Only to be surprised when the blade suddenly past her back towards the entrance where she then heard a voice.
"Didn't anyone ever teach you it's impolite to touch others belongings." Said a male voice
Whirling around Raven gripped her swords hilt to see who managed to sneak up on her. The person she saw was wearing a long hooded brown cloak concealing their face but Raven could still make out the icy blue eyes and snow white hair peeking out from underneath. But what had Raven's attention was that he was now holding the O-Katana in his left hand.
'How did he manage to sneak up on me? More importantly how did he manage to summon the blade to him?' Raven thought
"Look buddy I'm not interested in a fight so how about you hand over that sword and we'll both be on our way." Raven said preferring to not fight an unknown opponent especially one that's able to sneak up on her
While she's confident she could handle this guy with her Maiden powers, she'd rather not run the risk of him escaping and spreading word that would undoubtedly reach the ears of Ozpin and Salem.
The stranger remained silent before making a "Tsk" sound, then before Raven could even blink he vanished leaving only his cloak fluttering to cave floor. Raven gasped in shock when a slash mark appeared on her mask before it split in half and revealed her shocked expression.
Hearing an exhale of breath behind her Raven slowly looked behind her to see the stranger slowly sheathing the katana.
'I… I didn't even see him move… just how strong is this guy?' Raven thought shocked at the speed he displayed having never seen anyone move that fast not even Hunters with a speed Semblance
Without his cloak on Raven took the time to take in his features. Spiky snow white hair, icy pale blue eyes, pale complexion, and three scars on each cheek resembling whiskers. His attire consisted of a long, silver buttoned blue coat with three separated coattails. A white, serpentine pattern runs around the collar, with a snakes head hanging over the coat's left shoulder, and its tail slinking down the right, all the way to the bottom of the coat. A gold lining runs across the edges of the coat, and a silky, golden flower blossom pattern decorates the inner lining. Each cuff of the coat also possesses five, gold buttoned straps with gold lining; the coat also features identical straps on each shoulder, decorated with silver buttons instead of gold. Under the coat he wore a navy blue ascot wrapped around his neck, which hangs over a black, sleeveless vest that reveals his well-toned arms and shoulders. He wears tan, finger-less gloves, a brown, snakeskin belt with a silver buckle, dark green pants with a scale pattern running across its surface, and tall, brown boots with two golden buckled straps at the top.
'Wait… that's Naruto Schnee.' Raven realized remembering when word spread that one of the Schnee children went missing and now here was in front of her
Even more Raven realized that a fifteen-year-old kid managed to attack her before she could even react. That wasn't only a blow to her pride but also worried Raven, as if he's already this strong how strong would he be when he reaches his prime.
Raven watched silently as Naruto turned his back on her, something that normally would have angered the Tribe Leader but given what he's already shown he can do she is hesitant to try engaging him, before drawing the sword again. To her surprise Raven watched as he slashed the space ahead of him first vertically then horizontally leaving glowing lines where his sword passed through. Then the lines opened up revealing a portal.
'How did he do that? The Schnee Semblance is Glyphs and I've never heard of one being able to open a portal before. Or is it that sword?' Raven thought feeling herself ask more questions with each passing moment
"That attack was the first and only warning to you and anyone else that tries to take the Yamato. Do so again and I will kill you Spring Maiden." Naruto said as he stepped through the portal that closed behind him
'He knew?!' Thought Raven shocked again that he knew she was the Spring Maiden
Staring at the space where the portal had just been for a few moments, Raven finally turned back to the exit and left the cave. One thing she knew was, Naruto Schnee needed to be avoided at all cost and hope he didn't join up with Salem. The thought alone made Raven fearful of what the end result would be.
But something else inside her persisted, the power and strength he displayed intrigued and interested Raven and also made her curious of just who Naruto Schnee was.
*Timeskip-Two Years*
Naruto walked through the empty streets of Vale with Yamato held firmly in his left hand, not having any particular direction in mind. It's been two years since he regained his blade and nearly three years since he regained all his memories and powers from his previous life as Vergil.
'Along with getting these damn marks.' Naruto thought rubbing the scars on his cheeks
He still remembers that terrible day, the screams of pain, the Grimm rampaging, and of course her last words to him.
"If I don't return, you must run. By yourself, alone. You must change your name. Forget your past and start a new life as someone else. A new beginning."
And it all ended the same, with that deranged lunatic and his twisted laughter all because he wasn't strong enough.
'Power, I needed more power.' Naruto thought looking at Yamato his eyes blazing with blue fire
He needed a greater power than what the Qliphoth gave him as Urizen, power surpassing the Sin Devil Trigger form, surpassing Nero's Devil Trigger.
'A power that can kill gods.' Naruto thought before thumbing his swords hilt making it click out of the sheathe
"What do you want." Said Naruto without turning around to face the person behind him
"I wished to speak with you Naruto Schnee." Said the person, Naruto turning his head to see a grey haired man wearing a black suit and a green scarf while wielding a cane
"Ozpin." Naruto said recognizing the Headmaster of Beacon Academy
"You know who I am." Stated Ozpin
"Yes, now what do you want." Naruto repeated, as Ozpin walked towards him
"I wish to offer you a place at my school." Answered Ozpin without beating around the bush
He had heard enough rumors and whispers about the missing Schnee child to know it would be Ozpins, and humanities, best interest that Naruto was an ally rather than an enemy.
"And why would I waste my time attending a school with children?" Questioned Naruto
"For one your sister Weiss will be attending Beacon this year." Ozpin said, Naruto making a "Tsk" noise
"I could care less where my sister is going." Retorted Naruto having heard that Weiss hasn't changed at all since he left and in fact has only grown more into a spoiled brat
Knowing the conversation was over Naruto walked away from the Headmaster, only to stop at the man's next words.
"Does the name Dante ring any bells." Ozpin said, stopping Naruto in his tracks
'Dante, he's here to?' Naruto thought having only believed he was reincarnated but if Dante was here as well…
"Prove it." Stated Naruto regarding the Headmaster with narrowed eyes
"Ebony and Ivory, Rebellion, Devil Sword Dante, and the Yamato. These are the weapons you both used during your final confrontation correct." Said Ozpin, Naruto's eyes narrowing further
"Where is he?" Naruto demanded
"They will be attending Beacon this year as well, if you wish to meet them you are more than welcome to join the Academy." Said Ozpin
Naruto's hands clenched in anger at being manipulated by this man, but the chance at meeting his past life's brother again was tempting. Plus there should be a relic under Beacon and the Fall Maiden as well.
"Very well, I will attend Beacon Academy. But if you are lying to me, I will send you to your next life screaming in agony." Naruto said lowly, Ozpin nodding slowly while worried that he was aware of at least his reincarnating
How much he truly knew remained to be seen though. Ozpin could only hope he wasn't making a mistake in inviting him to Beacon.
So, what did you think, good. That's right Naruto is the reincarnation of Vergil and Weiss's elder twin brother, so he's already got a lot of eyes on him. Not only that but he's regained Yamato and is seeking the power to kills gods, I wonder why, well I'm not since I already know but I'm sure you all are wondering. So, review if you liked go away if you didn't.
Storm out.
