Author's note: (You can skip this part.) Hiya! Welcome back! Thank you so much for reading this crossover, I really appreciate it ^^.
I must apologise, I was really planning to update the second chapter at August 25, but FATE is playing with me, and it happened that our professors decide to give us a lot of pain-in-the-arse projects and researches that needed to be pass on Saturday. Again, pardon my delay.
Oh, almost forget, in this chapter you'll encounter some familiar characters that may or may not include in the DMC franchise. Most of them will be cameo.
Okay, hence shalt we begin?
EDIT: The characters are originally the classic Dante and Vergil, but of course I wanted to put the Reboot version so, I made them their cousins instead.
Anna and Elsa = Classic Dante and Vergil
Cousins = Reboot Dante and Vergil
Please don't confuse them :) Thanks for SooL2900 mention this.
It's been four years since the previous King and Queen died. Yet people had to move on, they can't live in the past forever. People in the kingdom are preparing on the ceremony that going to be hold on the kingdom, the coronation of the new king. Ships from different places stop in the fjord, where the royal families, from different kingdoms, are on it. Its a royal tradition where all royalty must come to witness the coronation of the new king or queen in any part of the world.
Town folks are excited about the event and did their best about the decoration and other ornaments that will be placed around the kingdom. To the royal families, they are excited to see how's the twin princes are. They says they grew up to be a very handsome men, other becoming a fine men. But all in all, they were glad that today the elder prince is now out of his isolation.
While every person in Capulet are busy for the preparation, the younger prince is still asleep inside his room. Even though his royalty, he doesn't sleep like one. He know it and doesn't care about it. Then a knock on the door wakes the crimson prince in his slumber. "Sire, are you still asleep?" the butler asked his majesty. Dante slowly sit up from his bed, messy hair, eyes still close and stretch a bit "No, no. I been awake since eig...ht..." and slowly he falling back to sleep when the servant knock on the door, again, and this time the prince lost his drowsiness.
"Sir, you must prepare for your brother's coronation ceremony, which will begin any moment..." the person outside his room explained. Of course, even his awake, the red prince isn't paying attention to his surrounding and ask the servant of his his what "conoration"? the butler enlightens the prince about today's event, and hoping to fix himself for the preparation.
It takes a while before the red clad man became conscious to his surrounding. He open his eyes completely and laid his sight on the red suit that the cute maids of the castle prepared for him. "Oh sheet! Its coronation day! I'm gonna be late!" he immediately jump-off his bed, leaving it unmade and fix himself for the upcoming preparation. After fixing into a formal attire, he ran outside his room and excited for today's event.
"Dude! Its coronation day!" he announce, running on the hallway. The butlers and maids smiled at the cheerful prince. Even though his twenty-one at age, he still act like a child who cheer others up. Seeing the hustle and bustle of preparation, the crimson prince giggled, excited for the celebration.
As he wondered around, the servants opening the windows and the door as well. "The window is open, so's that door! I didn't know they did that anymore!" he then run in front of the kitchen, where maids holding dozens of plates, then took one. "Who knew we owned eight-thousand salad plates?" and return it immediately.
He make his way on the hallway and arrived at second door at the left side of hall, where the ballroom is located, before sliding inside. "For years I've roamed these empty halls, why have a ballroom with no balls?" exiting the place, and walk his way and stop at the stairs, but like ordinary people who walk their way down to the second floor, he did something normal person would not do. Slide down his way on the stair rails. "Finally they're opening up the gates!"
He land safely on the floor, the red clad man saw an suit of armor, and pretend it was a real person. "There'll be actual, real live people" and shake hands with it. "It'll be totally strange" as a result, the arm fell off the armor. He simply put it in the floor, walk away slowly like nothing happened.
"But wow, am I so ready for this change!" the red prince ran in the nearest window, where he previously standing and jump onto the window washer's pulley. Raising himself up, and see the ships arriving on the fjords.
"'Cause for the first time in forever. There'll be music, there'll be light." He watched the ships coming, smiling widely like an innocent child. "For the first time in forever, I'll be dancing through the night." After seeing the ships, he lowered the pulley and reached the ground floor. He jump off and make his way to the palace garden.
"Don't know if I'm elated or gassy, but I'm somewhere in that zone!" He ran to the middle of garden.
"'Cause for the first time in forever, I won't be alone!"
He walk near one of the dogs and ruffle its head, before sitting beside it. "I can't wait to meet everyone!" then two other dogs approach him, walking to his side. "What if I meet the one?" he asked and the three canines bark like they understand what their master just said.
After playing with his dogs a little bit, he went back inside and explore the castle once. Dante simply entered a room, which happens to be the cater room. Waltzing inside the said room and stop by the sapphire drapes. "Tonight imagine me, suit and all! Fetchingly draped against the wall! The picture of sophisticated grace..."
Twisting the curtain like some sort of clothes onto himself, but in reality he actually look ridiculous. "Ooh! I suddenly see her standing there. A beautiful stranger, tall and fair." Unwrapping himself from the drape, he notice a bust of a woman and approach the it, pretending like it a real person. But of course, he was distracted by the chocolate-coated strawberries on the table, besides the sculpture. "I wanna stuff some strawberry in my face."
And eating some of the fruit. He put his attention back on the bust of woman, saying what possibilities might happen in the future. "But then we laugh and talk all evening, which is totally bizarre."
He grab the bust and swings it around, "Nothing like the life I've lead so far!" but he it slips out of his hands, it goes flying and lands of the top of the cake. He was shock and went out of the cater room, leaving behind the 'crime scene' he made.
He burst into the portrait room, bouncing onto furniture to another one and interacts with the paintings "For the first time in forever, there'll be magic, there'll be fun."
"For the first time in forever. I could be noticed by someone." and he mimicked the man on the canvas, who was about to kiss the hand of the maiden.
"And I know it is totally crazy..." jumping onto the sofa again and copied a painting of a waltzing man. "To dream I'd find romance..."
"But for the first time in forever, at least I've got a chance." and Dante stopping in front of a portrait of a couple, smiling.
At the room at the left end of the fourth floor hall where the the older twin, Vergil, watch out of the window as the royal families and coronation guests arrive. "Don't let them in, don't let them see." He moves toward the painting of his father's coronation. He removes his gloves and mimics the painting by holding a candlestick and ornament, in place of the orb and sceptre. "Be the good boy you always have to be!"
Trying his best not to freeze the things on his hands. "Conceal, don't feel, put on a show. Make one wrong move and everyone will know." But fail after he saw how rapid the ice cover the candlestick and ornament. He gasps and slam it on the table and tries to reassures himself.
"But it's only for today..." Vergil put his gloves back, sighing.
"It's only for today!" Dante burst out the castle entrance.
"It's agony to wait..." the young blue king slowly walking in front of the door of the room.
"It's agony to wait!" the red prince runs towards the gates.
"Tell the guards to open up, the gate!" he open the door of his room, and order the servants.
"The gate!" and the crimson man was first one who exited the castle.
"For the first time in forever!" He moves through the crowds, admiring the people around him. He also saw his cousins, who happens to be a pair of twins like him and his brother. Dante smiled at them, receiving also a smile from the two before proceeding to the castle entrance.
"Don't let them in, don't let them see..." the young king whispered to himself like a mantra, hoping that nothing goes wrong.
"I'm getting what I'm dreaming of!" the red clad prince smiled, admiring how the people of Capulet made the whole kingdom so beautiful. Decorations from top to bottom, all of them.
"Be the good boy you always have to be..." he enter the balcony, watching the guests entering the castle.
"A chance to change my lonely world!" he skips, making his way towards the plaza.
"Conceal..." he glance at the crowds below the castle ground.
"A chance to find true love!" he announce to himself.
"Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know..." For one last chance, Vergil recites those words and wish himself luck.
"I know it all ends tomorrow, so it has to be today!" he hurries towards the pier, wanting to wander more of the place before the coronation starts.
"'Cause for the first time in forever! For the first time in forever!" the red lad run towards the dock and... "Nothing's in my way!" slams right into the breast of the horse.
He falls back and lands on a small wooden boat. It tips of the dock and about to fall onto the water, if the horse hadn't slams his hoof into the boat.
"Hey! Watch we're going!" pissed off, he shouted at the rider off the horse while removing a sea weed off his face.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Are you hurt?" a feminine voice speaks. Dante was surprised and look up only to find a woman riding the horse, who slammed at him.
He was utter shock as he look at the woman. At first he thought the maybe he was slammed too hard the he starting to hallucinate. He blinked and found that he wasn't. The woman in front of him has the exact face of his deceased mother.
"Oh, hi... I- hmmm, no I'm good. I'm fine." he said, all the annoyance seems to leave him.
"Are you sure?" the blonde asked before jumping of her horse. "Yeah. I wasn't really paying attention to where I was going, so its partly my fault. But otherwise, I'm fine." the red prince scratch the back of his head, embarrassed how he act earlier.
The lady held her hand out and help Dante back on his feet. After helping him, she immediately introduce herself.
"Princess Trish of the Mallet Kingdom." she spoke. The red prince dust himself off before introducing himself. "Prince Dante of Capulet Kingdom."
The princess of Mallet kingdom can't believe to what she just heard. She was talking to the prince of the kingdom she's on right now.
"Prince? My lord..." She bowed to him, making the prince back away a little. Her horse bows too, curling his hoof up, and the boat tips off, again. Making Trish tumbles on top of the lad. In a very awkward position.
"Hi again."
The horse saw this and put back his hoof on the boat to stabilize it, but they tumble again and this time the other way around. Dante on top the blonde.
"This is awkward... Not that your awkward, but our position— I mean your beautiful. Wait what?" he slow move away from her and remember the words that just came out of his mouth. She giggle while standing and help the silver haired man onto his feet.
"My sincerest apologize to the prince of Capulet with my horse... And moment the came after..." she apologise and bowed her head.
"Oh, no no no— It's fine didn't worry. And I not THAT Prince, I mean if you hit my twin brother Vergil, that would be— yeash! 'Cuz I mean..." he backs away slowly off the boat and making his way to the dock, when he stops in front of Trish's horse. "Oh hello." he soothes it head, before walking away.
"But you're lucky it just me..." He look back at the woman, and she talks "Just you?" with a hint of confusion on her voice. Dante smiled, about to explain why he said those words to her, when the bells rang from the castle. Oh no its starting.
"The bells... The coronation!" he started to run. He stop a moment and glance at Trish. "Um... I have to go. I'll see you later I guess..." before running off. Trish just wave at him, before riding her horse, proceeding to the castle.
Dante arrive before it begins. He makes his way to the chapel, where almost of the guests are already on their respective places. He makes his way towards the alter and saw the bishop, who seems to be waiting for the young king's arrival. When all of them are ready, the choir above them started to sing an Old Norse coronation song, as the blue man appeared at the door, making his way towards the alter, poised and all.
Everything's gonna be okay, Vergil. Just relax. he thought, trying to calm himself until he arrived at the alter.
While the bishop speaks an ancient vow in native Old Norse, Dante peeks out to the audience and saw Trish. He waves to her and she waves back at him from the pews.
Since the younger twin wasn't really paying attention on his surroundings, he didn't notice that the bishop finishes the speech and crowned his brother.
Vergil raised his head and look straight ahead at the bishop before he presented him the sceptre and orb on the pillow that the bishop holds.
He reached for it when he was stop by the bishop saying that he need to remove his gloves. He hesitates at first but do as he was asked. He breathes nervously and remove his gloves. Hands shaking, he put the gloves on the pillow and took the sceptre and orb from it.
"Sem hann heldur sinum helgum eignum og krýnd í þessum helga stað ek té fram fyrir yðr..." as the bishop spokes, the blue king was currently trying his best not to freeze the holy items on his hands.
In fact, he trying his best that he holds his breathe too. But it seems useless because the sceptre and orb are now slowly freezing. "King Vergil of Capulet." that is his cue! Thanks God! he thought and return the holy items on the pillow as fast as he can, before it freezes completely. He immediately wear his gloves and turn to the crowds, repeating what the bishop just said a moment ago. He smiled at them and told them and his royal subjects to go to the Great Hall for the coronation party.
Night had fall, and all of them are having fun. Lively music fill the place, guests dance, they chat about the new king and all, they eat, they laugh and many other things that normal people do. Then the head servant announce the name of the two brothers. The people gathered and watch the twins as they were called.
"King Vergil of Capulet!" Sebastian announce as he entered the room. He walked towards the centre, poised and surprisingly content, as he stands under formal awning .
"Prince Dante of Capulet!" and appeared at the opposite direction, he runs in to the room and waves awkwardly at one of the guests. Sebastian ushers him to stand besides his brother. He moves a little after, still feeling awkward towards him.
People clapped at the two as they go back to what they previously doing. Vergil glance at Dante, who happens to be looking away from him. The older twin swallowed hard before opening his mouth to talk.
"Hi." Is the only thing he can say in the moment. The younger twin is surprised and looked at his twin brother. "Oh, hi me? Um...hi" he greeted back, but like his brother, the younger brother can only say the word 'Hi'.
"You look good..." he tried to make a conversation. Now all he have to do if his brother play along. The crimson man looked at him, then smiled before he speaks. "Thanks. Well, you look good-er, no, I mean you're more good, I meant great—" nervousness seems to take over Dante, that he can't find the right words for him. Vergil giggled as his twin act so innocent. But of course, not wanting to make him look silly, he simply thank him.
They return their sight to the crowds before them, watching how they enjoy the celebration. "So, this is how a party looks like?" the blue king asked the red prince, receiving a nob as answer. "It warmer than I thought..." Dante complimented.
"What is that sweet scent?" The twins sniff into the air, as they mirror each others motion, unaware. After sniffing, they faced without knowing, open their eyes as they meet each others gaze. "Strawberry!" They say in unison before laughing. Ah, they felt like they were kids again, copying almost every movement, that sometimes people thought that one of them is practising in front of the mirror.
After that little fun they have, they where interrupt by Sebastian, together with the Duchess of Limbo. "Your highnesses, the Duchess of Limbo..." The Duchess of Limbo looks like a lady hag mistress, who just done 'making love' with someone you don't want to know. "Yes, Duchess Lilith." the older twin greet the her. "Your majesty, as your closest partner in trade, I would be gladly offer you your first dance as king." said she, offering her hand and bowing to the king. As she do so, a part of her hair, which happens to be a wig, fell off her head. They laugh but stop immediately, hoping no one notices they laugh at her.
She return in her composure and wait for the king's reply. Seriously, what kind of person will learn to dance if you locked yourself in your room for almost a quarter of your life? he really wanted to said that, but of course he need to be polite in front of the guests, so he replied in much more polite way. "Thank you for the offer, only I don't dance."
The Duchess frowned at this, but Vergil knew that the woman in front of him won't going anywhere unless if he accepted her offer, so he do what he must. "But my twin brother does." He then look at Dante. The younger twin can't believe what his brother just said, he can't believe that his expression looked comical.
The duchess drags the red clad prince at the centre to join the cotillion. "Sorry..." the young king whispered and gives a sympathetic smile towards his brother.
Now Dante is stuck with Lilith, who keep stepping on his feet. While dancing the Duchess makes a conversation towards the red clad man, until it get to the point about shutting the gates for so long. "Speaking of coronation and opening the gates, why did they shut they it in the first place?" asked she "I don't know... They never told me the reason." he replied Hey! Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong.
Something suspicious about the woman in front of him, but he shrug it off. "Alright, hang on. They didn't call me the little my the little dipper for nothing." She dips Dante back. Now the red prince was confuse, he didn't know anymore if he was still playing the part of the boy in the dance.
The young king peeks through the crowd and accidentally lands his gaze to his other half. The younger twin saw his brother, who can barely holds his laughter. Dante shoots Vergil a comical, help-me look, which didn't help to stop the blue clad man's laughter.
Time goes by and Lilith allowed a exhausted Dante to rest a bit from their dancing. "Tell me if you're ready for another dance, M' Lord." she said and left. Dante drags himself towards his brother, tired.
"Well, she was sprightly..." The blue man complemented, and his twin add some too "Yeah, especially for a granny like her..." taking off his shoes and rubbing it, hoping to ease the pain, before wearing them once more.
"You alright?" Vergil asked, worried but still smiling, he just can't forget what happened to his brother. "I've never been better. I mean— This is so nice, I wish we could be like this all the time." he smile widely at his twin, who just agree with him. But then the blue clad man stiffens up I should really pick my words carefully... a frown expression plastered at the older twin's face before facing away from Dante.
"But it can't..." he muttered, but for Dante it was clear, clear as a crystal ball. "What do you mean? Why not? If—" he tried to reasoned with his twin brother but that did not convince his brother.
"It just can't." Now he was facing completely from him, not wanting to see his brother's hurt expression. Dante's smile drop and look at the floor. Here we go again... Goodbye Happiness, Hello Sadness... he thought before excusing himself. Vergil glances at his other half with a sadness in his eyes. "Forgive me, Dante..." he muttered under his breath, as he watch his brother disappears from the crowds.
Author's Rant: (Feel free not to read) Chapter Two, done. Well hope you like this one. Oh, I forgot to tell from the previous chapter that I'm not a Native English speaker so, pardon my grammars DX. About Lilith, well, she was the only fitting character for Duke's counterpart. Last but not the least, I did not mean Trish to be a villain. (Sorry Trish) And since I don't know about Lucia that much, so I better not include her in the story.
Without further ado, see you on the next chapter.
¡Adíos~!
