Third times the charm. HEY EVERYONE! Yes, I updated this a little, did the best I can do and let me tell you, it's tough. I like the start so I'm keeping that. As for how I'm updating the chapters, I'm turning it into acts, Act 1 would be the prologue, Act 2 is either after the first boss or first few bosses, Act 3 is the same thing, same with Act 4 and the Final act along with the ending(s). Here's how it'll go for DMC 3, Act 1 ends after round 1 of the Vergil fight, Act 2 is after the 2nd Vergil fight, Final act is the end.
Of course this is only the 3rd game, you'll see where I'm going with this later. As for the new timeline, I'm using it, It'll be like this, DMC 3, DMC, DMC Anime, DMC 2, DMC 4, and DMC 5.
By the way, everyone, don't expect high levels of writing on both ends, the format for the bold is what the player sees or should see. As for the reactions, I'm working with someone to at least come up with a good reaction, especially for certain people to certain events. Now, on with the whole new beginning.
Before we go into this, fair warning, it has spoilers and mentions from V6 and future volumes. Not only that, DMC 5 mentions as well. Will take place during V6. Plus extra chapters, if you really want. On with the start, shall we?
This part was done by me, the first Act of DMC 3 has a long way to go. Let alone the full game.
A guy in a dark worn out helmet, dark tattered cape and dark armor that was ready to break was standing in a theater room. Not just any theater, this is the Theater of Odeon. Once an old theater that has been restored by him, Gliver, the fallen soilder.
The legend of Sparda was the most told tale across the multiverse. Some even considered him a god from a whole other life time. Something happened with the two foolish gods from a universe called Remnant. A lot of pieces from tales forgotten. He knew he needed to show both hunters, legends, and corrupted that need to see this so history doesn't fully repeat.
From what he has seen, The top of the tower where Pyrrha and Cinder fought reminded him of his brother and himself of Temi-Ni-Gru. Haven's fight with Raven and Cinder also reminded him of his brother and himself in their second fight. The eyes of Ruby and old lady Maria, former grim reaper, somewhat reminded him of his Angelo days, after he was free.
Starting with our first handful of guests. Curently rebuilt team RWBY and JNPR with a revived Pyrrha, Oz/Oscar, Glynda, Winter, Cinder, Neo, a revived Roman, Penny, Maria, Qrow, Raven, and Salem. Especially both Ozpin and Salem. They have been in a war and will be if they keep going at this rate. Gliver is still mad at that deal Ozma, or better known as Ozpin, made with the god of light.
He'll personally deal with the brother of light and brother of darkness himself. Right now, he had to fix and mend relationships. Especially reviving both Nikos and Torchwick.
So he snapped and a bright light was shown. And in that light came our audience.
Seven kids and Seven adults popped up. All already in a pile with an elder woman sitting on top of that pile. A lot of groaning was heard. Soon, they untangled and a lot of reactions happened.
"Pyrrha?" a blonde knight said as a lot of emotion was put into it. This knight was known as Jaune Arc.
"Jaune?" Replied a red headed girl with basic clothes being a red shirt with a golden dragon design and blue jeans.
A small, pink and brown haired girl with a hat on instantly jumped into a guy with a white trench coat and orange long hair. These two were Neo and Roman.
"Neo? How am I here?" Said Roman with confusion while Neo just didn't care.
With Neo hugging Roman, Jaune and the others were also happy to see Pyrrha again and even did a group hug. Meanwhile, Qrow and Raven were standing off to the side, glancing at one another. With Maria already sitting on a chair.
Cinder and Salem tried to stay hidden in the dark, glaring at Oscar who in turn, let Oz take control to glare back.
Ruby and Jaune saw Cinder in the corner with Salem, as well as Neo and Roman. Rage from Jaune showed as he was ready to fight. The teams stood right behind Oscar, ready to back him up while Neo and Roman joined.
"Little red, little red, I don't do this but that fire woman has to pay for getting me killed" said Roman as Neo nodded
"And for killing me" Pyrrha says as she was ready to use her semblance to hold Cinder in place.
As a fight was about to break out, Gliver snapped again to drain all of their aura, take away weapons, and disconnect their powers known as semblances, Magic in both Cinder's and Salem's case, as well as stop Ruby's silver eyes from unleashing it's full power. Her training with Maria paid off, and he wasn't about to let a little girl destroy his theater all because of a pointless war.
Gliver calls out, "Stop this foolishness. All of you."
They all turned to see Gliver, who was in a V-like snapped position.
Oscar/Oz started talking, "Who are you?"
Salem adds on, "Yes, I'd like to know who has the power to disable my magic."
"Wait, magic's real?" said a surprised Pyrrha while Roman just paled. It could explain why Cinder could control fire.
"Easy there, my name is Gliver, and I'm a multiversal god who mostly watches other universes. And you all have been brought here for one, simple, reason."
Yang spoke up, "Oh yeah? What reason is that Mister knight in dark armor?"
"To prevent a future that may come. Through a similar universe, one I originated from."
Jaune says, "So, you'll show us what may happen by having us watch what a universe has been through?"
"That's one way to put it young Jaune, yes." Gliver said but continues, "The world you all know is in a pointless war, all because of what a certain two brothers did. Now, Ozpin, Salem, I'm sorry on their behalf, it was never suppose to end like that."
The two seemed confused, how was their fate suppose to end?
"Oz, I will return you back to your original body without it transferring to another poor soul. Salem, I can restore your beauty and get rid of that pathetic curse THEY put on you."
And it's what he did, he lunged towards Oscar and aimed his right hand at his chest, it went in but a light was in it's place. He pulled his hand out to find an orb and he threw it up in the air as he focused some power into the orb, through his finger tips. Out came the body of Ozma. Which landed while shaking violently.
"Oscar, you have a choice, you can stay to watch or go back to your normal life. Which is it?" Gliver asked, this was optional for the young farmer, it didn't matter one way or another. Heh, something his brother said to him decades ago.
Ruby walked over to Oscar, while saying, "It's ok Oscar, we understand if you want to go back home."
Yang says, "Yeah, we'll come visit you whenever we can"
In the dark corner, Cinder was gagging at this touching moment while Salem was surprised that a multiversal god like Gliver could just do the impossible, 'Truly remarkable'
Oscar was in thought, this was a first time in a while that he is free but he'll miss his friends. He had his answer, "I'll stay, you all have been good friends and I feel like I'll miss you if I just went back home now."
Cheers were heard and Ozma came forward, "It's so good to see my former students get along again."
"That, we can agree on" Says Gliver, he has been to other universes and some he's trained himself to master swordsmanship.
"Now, I'm so glad to hear you'll stay, it's time to set the witch free." Gliver said as he walked over to Salem. "You shall be set free, my young witch"
With that, he put his hand on her shoulder and focused what seemed to be a very dark aura with traces of hope in it. While he was doing that, Salem started to feel young again, like when she first fell in love with Ozma.
Her grimm-like appearance was gone, just like that. In place stood a very beautiful woman, the blond hair and princess like-aura was now filled with hope. "Now for that pathetic curse" Gliver focused harder while letting it seep into her before vanishing like it never happened. "There, you're welcome"
"As for you, Lady Maria, The Grimm Reaper. Allow me to return that eye sight of yours." Gliver claimed as he walked over to her.
Maria responds, "I'd like having my eye sight back, now I don't have to see that crazy commander again." Hey, she may have a rivalry with a certain commander, but even she feels like the commander took her job way too seriously.
The knight took off Maria's prosthetic eyes and held up his right hand to her face. He focused a little on his demonic powers and Maria soon had her eyes healed, along with 20/20 vision. Gliver says, "I've made your eyes a perfect 20, your attempted killer has been led to a much greater punishment, one that even I would feel bad for."
Years under imprisonment of a demon king can make anyone wish they died already.
"As for you Yang, that arm shall be restored" And at that moment, Yang's arm re-grew instantly.
Gliver walked back on stage, glad it was over. "Now, with that all out of the way, I want to show you what would've happened in a different universe. Had I not interfered today. Gather around and I will tell you all a tale of the legendary dark knight, Sparda. And his twin sons"
The kids sat down as well as the adults. "Let's run this down. 2000 years ago, a war happened. Between the human world, and the underworld. Mundus, the demon lord, was on the verge of destroying humanity. Sparda, Mundus' general, saw what the king was doing, and rose up to justice to save the human world. He sealed it off but at the cost of his power. He did it through a tower, the Teme-Ni-Gru, had left his sword, which was dormant thanks to the amulets that were separated, and the blood of a priestess. He sealed it off completely. Later, he wandered the human world and came across a beautiful human woman and they fell in love. Her name was Eva"
Ozma and Salem can somewhat feel what was about to happen. They did have tragedy strike between the two after all.
"They had twin sons. One, Vergil, the other, Dante. What was meant to be a happy ending, Sparda vanished and Eva was left to take care of the twins herself. As time passed, they twins were always at odds, even when playing with their wooden swords. Now, at age 8 for they boys, they were given the amulets, the halves of the perfect amulet."
'Amulet?' Is what most thought. While Penny was recording the whole thing from the start. She'll show the general of what she's learned through this.
"What was meant to be a normal birthday, turned into their worst nightmare. The day they chose their own path. The death of Eva."
Their thoughts, 'How can a child experience that?'
"Vergil was out in the graveyard by the house at that time. Dante and Eva were getting ready for bed. Once the demons came, Vergil was pinned with a katana in his chest on a gravestone right by their house. Dante was hiding in a closet thanks to Eva instructing him to do so. Dante saw Eva killed, who was looking for Vergil. That day haunted the twins and they had a revelation. Vergil chose the path to power, Dante chose the path of vengeance."
Winter spoke up, "But, what happened with the twins after that?"
"I would like to know as well" Cinder said, with a few listening closer around her.
"Good question. Vergil met Dante again but was there for only a few moments before disappearing, as if planning something big."
The girls nodded, finally having one answer down to many more.
Maria asked "Where did this event happen?"
Oscar and Oz agreed with her, there was always a location somewhere involved.
Gliver responds, "You'll see at the end Grimm Reaper. Now, enough talk, let me show you their reunion."
Gliver vanished as the screen came on.
