Alright, this is it! This is the chapter I have been waiting to write, the birthday party! Thank all of you for the support of my fanfics. This story, it's prequel, and Devil of a Wizard. After seeing Apology Tour, my heart bled for Verosika. I always liked Verosika and I like her more now and less respect for Blitzo. Also, I put a poll up since everyone has been asking me "Are you going to pair Vergil up with anyone?" I may add some to the list, but I will say, I'm NOT considering Emily because she looks like a teenager. Anyway, let's answer some reviews.
Gamelover41592: Thanks, but I will say this, no trouble in this chapter.
Dragon Blaze-X: Thanks. And sorry I had to think things through and been busy.
Gwb620: Yeah. I wanted to include Argus because he would fit in with this story.
RonaldM40196867: Those two need some time together since they did make the twins. Vaggie would understand. Pentious is making the cake. Al is an ass for that. And Vaggie understands Dante wants to fix that bridge and not be a deadbeat dad. Yes, I play the Devil May Cry games, and no I did not because that would be cruel.
AdanValdovinos3: Thank you for that ranking and yes I figured Vergil needed a Devil Arm that includes range since he hates using firearms.
LoneWolfND427: Thanks. Lucifer and Lilith would be the type to spoil their grandchildren. And Vaggie sets them up because she knows Dante is not a bad guy and the tension between the two would lessen.
Phoenix Champion: If he knows. I mean I don't think Nico mentioned who her father was. All she did say was "Yeah… I got my daddy's looks."
Lightblade1121: This chapter is going to be a much more peaceful one. But I will think of something for future reference. And your dream is fulfilled.
Boi69420: Maybe, maybe not. It will all depend on what lies in the future.
DevilsNeverCry: I had to include Agnus. He was a good villain to use since the two of the V's are dead. I feel like the Ice skating Devil Arm would be useful for Charlie or Eva. and not bad for the spear. Also No, there will be no Umbra witches or Lumen Sages. I know about Bayonetta but the time and multiverse gave me a slight headache.
Rio Skyron: Yeah. I always figured Lilith would be that rockstar type. She was hinted to be a singer in Hell in the Pilot and Episode 1 of the flashback helped.
Violagameboy: That is giving me ideas. Thanks for that.
54godamora: Thanks and yeah I'm a fan of those types of films. Also, I didn't know about that version of Stockman from the Ninja Turtles.
A DMC fan: No he is not going to fight him again.
Harshirim: I might put that to a vote. And I am aware HH and HB are in a shared universe.
Anonymous: Hate to bust your bubble, but it's not Adam. Adam will show up in the fic at a later date. But yeah, Someone else is pulling Agnus' leash.
Arisato Lupin: You really like to see Vergil be with Carmilla. I mean she is a MILF, is a capable fighter, and is willing to protect her daughters. Go vote on the poll.
Guest: There will be a meeting in Heaven.
Guest(Again): To put it simply, Devil Arms can kill an Angel. Demons can be killed by a Devil Arm just like Angelic Steel.
And to the Guest who is speaking Spanish, STOP SPAMMING! Make an account and PM me questions.
Anyway, Let's Dive into Hell!
Mission 7: Birthday Bash
It was early in the morning at Morningstar Manor when the twins, Michael and Eva were sleeping in two different beds. The older twin began to stir awake and let out a yawn as he attempted to rub the sleep out of his eyes. When he finished, he looked at the alarm clock to see the date magically displayed along with it. "Wait," he said to himself as he realized what day it was. With a big grin on his face, he went to his sister's bed and shook her shoulder. "Eva. Eva, wake up."
"Mhhmm, five more minutes, Mikey," she moaned as she wanted to get some more sleep, turning her back to her brother.
"Eva, wake up," Michael exclaimed as he shook his sister harder.
"Alright! I'm up," Eva shot out of bed, looking annoyed as she had a case of bedhead, making her hair look like bull horns or a swarm of snakes. "What is it?"
"Happy Birthday," Michael told his sister.
"Birthday?" She asked sleepily. After processing what her twin said, Eva's eyes shot open and the sleepiness vanished instantly. "It's our birthday today," she said excitedly and hugged her brother. "Happy Birthday, Mikey!"
"Happy Birthday, sis," he said as he hugged his sister back.
After they finished their hug, a couple of the servants took the twins to two different bathrooms to let them bathe, brush their teeth, and change into their clothing for the day. Eva wore a scarlet red sundress with the Morningstar family crest on it. Michael, on the other hand, wore dark dress pants and a black shirt with a red dragon on it. The twins headed out into the large dining room where they saw Lilith drinking a cup of coffee with the mug saying 'My husband rules Hell, but I rule the Household.' After enjoying her morning brew, she gave a soft smile to the twins. "There they are, my two precious grandchildren. Happy Birthday, kids," Lilith got up from her seat, hugging and kissing them both on the forehead.
"Thanks, Grandma," the twins said in unison as they returned the gesture.
"Grandma, where's Grandpa?" Eva asked as she looked around for the King of Hell.
"Oh, he'll be here shortly. He's just making your breakfast is all," Lilith told her granddaughter as she took her seat again, gesturing the twins do the same.
As both Eva and Michael took their seats at the dining table, Lucifer came in with a towering pile of pancakes. "There they are! Happy Birthday, you two! I made pancakes," Lucifer smiled as he walked over to the middle of the table and placed the large stack right in front of the two.
"Grandpa's pancakes!" Both Michael and Eva cheered as they took as many flapjacks as they could onto their plates.
With a snap of a finger, the King of Hell presented a wide assortment of toppings for his grandchildren to choose from. Fresh fruits, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and different types of syrup. The twins took different assortments as they wolfed down their pancakes.
"You two sure have your mother's appetite when she was young," Lilith laughed as she took a pancake for herself.
Lucifer took his seat and had his pancakes decorated with apple slices and caramel syrup. "So, what do you two expect for your birthday?"
"Dad said he's planning to give us three different gifts each. Said it was from him and Uncle Vergil," Michael told both of his grandparents.
"I'm a little curious since this will be the first time I'm meeting Dante's twin brother in person. What is he like?" Lilith asked them.
"Uncle Vergil's very moody. When he's not training us, he usually stays in the bedroom, reading or drinking tea," Eva explained. "Angel Dust says he got a stick up his ass most of the time."
"Language," Lucifer said jokingly as he jabbed the air with his fork.
"Sorry, Grandpa," Eva apologized to him. "But he's still a grump. Worse than Husk is."
"So I noticed," Lucifer muttered under his breath. "But what do you really want for your birthday? New toys? Some clothing? A pet?"
"Actually, I do want something. But it might be hard," Eva spoke up.
"I'm sure it'll be no problem for us, my little demoness. Now what is it that you want," Lilith asked her granddaughter. Eva turned silent and twiddled her thumbs. The young Morningstar gestured to her grandmother as the Queen of Hell leaned forward as her granddaughter whispered in her ear. "Interesting. But I'm sure I can make that work."
"What did she tell you, dear?" Lucifer asked his wife.
"I'll tell you when we get to the Hotel. In the meantime, tada!" Lilith summoned forth two CDs made by her on her newest album.
"Oh wow! Your new Album," Michael said as he wanted to play it immediately. "Thanks, Grandma."
"Anything for my grandbabies. Now eat up, me and your grandfather will spend more time with you before your party," Lilith told them both as the family enjoyed their breakfast.
"Okay, so we have everything organized," Charlie said as she looked through her list and looked at all the decor and assortment. "Everything is set up, the cake is ready, the alcoholic drinks for the adult guests are full and the entertainment for both parties is set. Am I missing anything?"
"Yeah. You need to calm down," Dante said as he approached the Princess of Hell. "Babe, the party is going to be a blast. Michael and Eva are gonna love it."
"He's right, hun. The twins will have fun," Vaggie stepped up and supported Dante.
"Thanks, you guys. I don't know what I would do without you and everyone's help," Charlie hugged them both as she looked at all the others helping out.
After a minute, a knock came on the hotel door and Charlie answered it. Standing in front of the doorway was Verosika Mayday in a purple mini skirt, with matching stockings that went up to her thighs, and a top that said 'Pop Queen' at the front. "Char-Char! How's it going?" the pop star asked as she kissed Charlie's cheeks.
"Oh, you know… getting Sinners redeemed and getting ready for my kids' birthday," the Princess of Hell told the pop star. "You want a drink?"
"A small one. I'm cutting down, you know," Verosika told her as she was going to the bar for a drink when she spotted the red-coated Demon Hunter. "Dante, is that you?" she asked as she approached him. "Holy Hell, it is. How are you, baby?" She hugged him and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"I'm fine. The last time I saw you was 7 years ago when I played guitar for Lilith," the Demon Hunter told her as he was a little confused. "I thought you hated me after your loss."
"I admit, I was being a brat at the time. But with the whole thing about Mundus being free and surviving against his entire forces, I did some self-reflecting. I went here and apologized to Charlie and the Queen. Got some help with my drinking habits too," she said. "Also, I'm helping out others who got crushed by that shithead motherfucker Blitzo!" She was calm at first, but lost it at the thought of the imp. "Sorry, I lost it for a second. Guess I'm still not over our breakup after all these years. But I should warn you since you did make a business partnership in the past, he's a real piece of shit."
"I'll keep that in mind," Dante said to the pop star. "You mentioned you helped others because of him. Like ex-lovers? How many?"
"Enough to fill a whole house up in the human realm," Verosika answered him as the Demon Hunter cringed. "Yeah, that's how many people he fucked over."
"Sounds like someone who needs to be sliced up," Vergil said, overhearing the conversation.
"Whoa, who are you," Verosika said as she eyed the other Sparda.
"This is my twin brother, Vergil," Dante introduced his elder twin.
"You have a twin?" Verosika was surprised that Dante had a twin brother. She looked back and forth between the two and saw their similarities. "I can see the resemblance," she said flirtatiously before remembering something. "Oh, my boyfriend is coming later with their gifts, besides the autographs."
"You have a boyfriend?" Dante asked.
"Mmmhmm, and he's a real sweetheart. He looks all mean and scary. But he's a nice guy," Verosika said as there was a knock on the door. "That must be him," she said as she answered it and she saw a dragon demon with green scales, dark black hair with matching spikes, and red eyes. He had a Metallica shirt, black jacket, and ripped-up pants and had some wrapped-up gifts. "Blaze!"
"Hey, babe," Blaze said, kissing his girl. "Am I late?"
"Nope, you're early in fact," Verosika said as she carried some of the gifts. "Where can we put these?"
"By that table over there," Vaggie told the dragon, pointing to the table with gifts on the table from the empty table.
"Thanks," Blaze said as he put the gifts on the table. "So, where are the birthday twins?"
"With their grandparents. They are going to be coming later," Charlie said to the dragon demon. "It's going to be their first birthday with their father. Why don't you meet him," the Princess of Hell dragged him to the Demon Hunter. "Meet Dante, my boyfriend."
"Wait, Dante? As in Dante the Demon Hunter?" Blaze asked as Verosika nodded. "Oh wow, you are a legend here! And you're the father of the twins?" He asked taking out his phone. "Can I get a selfie?"
"Sure, why not," Dante said as he posed as he got the photo taken with the dragon.
"Thanks, man," Blaze said, joining Verosika.
Another knock on the door was heard as Charlie answered it. "Uncle Ozzy," she cheered as a large blue demon with a lighter blue mane with the head of a ram and a bull on in the left and right of his mane, red and white feathers on his head, and an additional black near his rear. He wears a blue pinstripe suit with his large chest hair popping out, a black and red top hat, navy pants, and jagged, black thigh-high high-heeled boots with red cuffs, toes, and tips of the heels.
"Hey, baby girl! How's my favorite niece doing?" Asmodeus asked as he hugged Charlie. "Once I heard Fizz mention you wanting entertainment at their party, I thought I might tag along," he said as Fizz climbed on his shoulder. "Now, where are the little ones?"
"With their grandparents," Charlie told the embodiment of Lust. "They'll be arriving later."
"Good, that gives me more time to prepare my acts," Fizz says as he brings his suitcase of stuff. "I'll be right down, Oz. Just need to prepare. Why don't you talk to the others for a spell or two?" he said as he stretched his limbs to the next floor up, landing with an impressive flip before catching his case and entering a spare room.
"Holy shit. I never thought I would see the big cock himself," Angel Dust as he was surprised at Asmodeus himself being in the hotel.
"Angel, you're not a porn star anymore. And do you have to call him the big cock!?" Vaggie shouted at the spider demon.
"Relax, he takes it as a compliment. After all, he is the Sin of Lust," Angel Dust said as he eyed Asmodeus.
"I actually do take that as a compliment," Asmodeus said as he overheard the two talking. "Angel Dust, it's been 7 years since you made a film. How are you doing?"
"Eh, ya know, being clean 7 years, sorta. And helping out with the hotel," Angel Dust told the King of Lust. "But you know what, I don't miss it. Val's dead, the studio burnt to the ground, and my contract is destroyed. So now I'm pretty much living it clean. Well, sorta clean."
The doors burst open as a yellow foxlike Demon with four arms, insect wings, and antennae stepped in. "How's it going, my party peeps," she shouted out loud.
"Aunt Bee!" Charlie shouted in excitement, hugging the fox-bee hybrid demon.
"Good to see you too, Char-Char. How are the kids?" Bee said as she was relieved from her embrace.
"They're with Mom and Dad right now, but they will be here later," Charlie said as she walked her Aunt figure into the Hotel.
"Luci and Lili will want to spend time with their grandkids. I bet they spoil them like crazy," Bee laughed as she could taste two new flavors in the air, one was very bitter, yet had this herbal taste to it like tea. The other one tasted sweet yet it also tasted like…pizza? "What kind of flavor am I tasting that has pizza in the air."
"Oh, that must be Dante, Eva, and Michael's father," Charlie said as she pointed out the red-coated demon hunter.
"Oh wow. That's your baby daddy? Damn, Char, you got yourself a DILF," Bee looked up and down at the Demon Hunter. "And that must be his twin next to him."
"Yep, that's Vergil, he's a bit of a sourpuss mainly," Charlie whispered to the Queen of Gluttony.
"Yeah, I can taste it," Bee agreed.
A minute later, a loud 'KA-BOOM' was heard from the outside as Cherri Bomb made her explosive entrance. "Alright time to Par-tay!" the cyclops shouted.
"Cherri?" Dante said in confusion. "Why are you here? I thought you were banned from the Hotel?"
"Yeah, Well I got myself unbanned after you were gone for the last 7 years. Now I'm the Overlord of Explosives and I help this Hotel. Ya know, give some of my funds to this place," the Cyclops said to the Demon Hunter. "Where the fuck have you been you?"
"Fought my twin, got into a coma for a month, cut down a demon tree, and now I'm back here. Trying to be a good dad to the kids and helping Charlie with the Hotel while hunting down scumbags," he said to her.
"So, that's your twin, right behind ya? I gotta say, you two look alike that's for sure. Expect the hair. What does he do? Gel his hair back?"
"If you must know, I just push it back to give it its shape," Vergil overheard the conversation and decided to tell the Cyclops in person. "So do you know my brother on a personal level?"
"Not really, just a bit. Saved me from a giant robot that was made by that guy right there," Cherri said as she pointed to Pentious.
"I said I was sorry," Pentious told the bombshell of a sinner. "And I made you a drink, Miss Cherri," he said as he handed her a shot glass.
"Why?" Cherri asked as she took the glass.
"Well… it's because…. I made drinks for everyone!" Pentious announced as everyone cheered. The snake man started to go behind the bar and mix drinks for everyone present in the hotel, giving Husk a break that he appreciated.
After some time passed, many more guests arrived at the Hotel. Lucifer and Lilith were the last ones approaching the building to bring the birthday boy and girl. Once the royals entered the Hotel, everyone faced the door.
"Surprise! Happy Birthday, Eva and Michael," everyone shouted as some confetti shot out of some poppers.
"Whoa! There are so many people here," Eva said as she was surprised to see adults and schoolmates from their Hellementary school.
"Whoa, everyone that we know now is here," Michael said as he saw his Great Aunts and Uncles as well as some honorary members of their youth whom they hadn't seen in a long time.
"Happy birthday, you two," Charlie wanted up to her kids, hugging them.
"Congrats on turning 7, kids," Dante approaches them, ruffling their hair.
"Thanks, Mom and Dad," the twins said in unison as they walked more into the hotel. They were greeted by many as they approached their friends.
"Dante," Lilith approaches the Demon Hunter and embraces him.
"Hi… Mom," Dante said as he remembered to call her that.
"How is my favorite half-demon doing these days," she asked.
"Well, I'm getting paid by your husband again, have a roof over my head, and I get food. Really can't complain. Oh, and I'm trying to be a good father to the kids and keeping my brother out of more demonic crap he's already in," Dante told the Queen of Hell.
"Are you treating my daughter well," Lilith asked him.
"I'm trying. I want to make up for lost time when I was not here. I don't want to be a deadbeat dad or a… lousy boyfriend," Dante told her.
"Boyfriend? Not Husband?" Lilith asked him.
"She's with Vaggie and they seem happy together. I don't want to ruin their relationship," The Demon Hunter told the Queen as she giggled. "Did I say something funny?"
"No. It's just that polygamy is legal in Hell," the Queen of Hell told him. "Do you mind if we step somewhere private to talk?"
"I guess so," Dante said as he moved through the crowd of demons and went to an empty room. "So what did you want to talk to me about?"
"It's something your daughter wanted. Eva told me what she really wanted for her birthday is for you and Charlie to get together again," Lilith told him. "She wants you, Charlie, and Vaggie to be together," she said. She then snapped her fingers and a small box appeared out of thin air. Inside was a gold ring that was in the shape of a serpent. "When you're ready, whether it be today or weeks from now, ask her."
Dante took the box and looked at it. He had mixed feelings about this. He could get to marry Charlie, be with the kids, and have a family. But that meant he may put them in danger. He still had a job when it came to defending Earth from demons that escaped through. Then again, Nero was on Earth and he proved he could take care of himself. After all, he did kick his old man's ass. A part of him wanted Charlie and the kids to move in with him and get a place of their own. But that would mean Charlie would have to get a job as well and they'd still be living a harder life. Plus, it would be unfair to Vaggie as it would feel like he was taking her away. He then thought if he should stay in Hell, taking out any demons that got too powerful or disrupted the balance of order. The Son of Sparda took out the ring and inspected it closely, feeling a smooth and scaly texture as if he were touching an actual snake. "I'll ask her when I get the chance," he told her as he put it back in the box and into one of his jacket pockets. "I just need to think about it more."
The Queen of Hell smiled as she put her hands on her soon-to-be son-in-law. "Just don't take too long. Now, come on. It's a party and nobody wants you to be a sourpuss. Also, I need to meet this brother of yours. The kids told me he's grumpier than Husk. Is it true?"
"I'm afraid he is," Dante said as he led Lilith out of the room. The party was booming as the guests were enjoying themselves, the adults were chatting with one another, the kids were playing around, enjoying party games, or they were watching Fizzarolli do typical clown antics like juggling or making balloon animals. Dante looked around as he spotted his brother and waved him over. The black-coated half-demon with the katana at his side walked over to his younger twin. "Vergil, there's someone I'd like you to meet. The Queen of Hell, Lucifer's wife, Charlie's mother, and the best singer of Hell; Lilith Morningstar."
"The pleasure is all mine, Your Highness," Virgil said politely as he offered his hand to the Queen.
"I'm quite charmed to meet the older brother of my soon-to-be son-in-law finally," Lilith offered her hand as Virgil brushed his lips on her gloved hand. "And no need for formalities. We're family so to speak. Now, what would that make you?" She asked as she pulled her hand away from the older Son of Sparda. She tapped her chin as she thought, then snapped her fingers as she got it. "Oh yes, I know! You're my moody nephew who never got through his emo phase." Dante had to hold in a laugh as he heard Lilith call his brother a manchild who never grew out of being an emo teen. Virgil narrowed his eyes as he heard that. "Don't be offended. Charlie went through something similar."
"Wait, what," Dante said as he kept failing to control his laughter. Lilith took out her phone and scrolled through her photos as she reached a particular one and she showed it to the brothers. In the picture, it was Charlie, but she looked like a teenager and the front of her hair was dyed black and covered half her face as she had braces on and a black dress that reminded the twins of Wednesday Addams. "Oh wow."
"I would have never guessed that someone so cheerful had a dark past at the time," Virgil looked at the photo before looking at his brother. "Pretty soon both Michael and Eva will go through that stage when they reach their teens."
"I just hope I can handle it," Dante muttered as he thought of his kids going through typical emo teen and goth phases.
"Dante," Lucifer called the Demon Hunter as he approached the three. "What are you looking at," he asked before Lilith showed him their daughter in their emo phase. "Oh my dear dad, I remember those days. She was in a real mood back then. Anyway, there are some people I want you and your brother to meet."
"I'll join you, dear," Lilith said as she walked alongside her husband as they led the Sons of Sparda to a group of Demons that looked to be very powerful beings.
"Everyone, I want you to meet the Sons of Sparda. Dante, the father of my grandchildren, and his brother, Virgil," the King of Hell introduced the twins. "This gentleman over here is Zestial, he is the oldest Overlord still active," Lucifer introduces the spider-themed demon.
"Tis a pleasure to meet you, Sons of Sparda," Zestial bowed to the twins.
"Right next to him is Carmilla Carmine. She's an arms dealer that specializes in reforging weapons left behind during the Exterminations," Lucifer said pointing to the white-haired demon with knife-like ballet shoes.
"So these are the infamous Sons of Sparda. I must say, I am impressed with how you did so much against powerful demons without Angelic weapons," Camilla said as she looked at the brothers.
"We have something with the same type of kick to it. Devil Arms," Dante said as he summoned his sword out of nowhere. Vergil unsheathed his Yamato.
"Impressive weaponry. May I?" Carmilla held out one of her hands.
"Sure, I see why not," Dante held out his Devil Sword as Carmilla took the blade.
"Impressive steel and craftsmanship. I can feel the dark energy pulsing through the weapon," Carmilla stroked the Devil Sword before handing it back to him and examining Yamato. "This one feels like the same as the other, but it has something different with it at the same time.
"Mainly because both swords are made from parts of our father's soul. They both have different purposes," Vergil explains as he took the Yamato back. "Dante's former sword, Rebellion, made it's purpose to bring the Man and Devil together, hence why his powers fused with our father's. While the Yamato has the ability to separate man from Devil."
"And can cut through dimensions," Dante added as he took Yamato, slashed the air to make a portal, and reached inside to grab a drink from a bar back on Earth. "Oop, almost forgot," Dante said before throwing ten dollars through the portal as started to close.
"Beats an Asmodian Crystal and is still capable of being used as a weapon," Carmilla says as she smirks. "I would like to have a further discussion with these Devil Arms in the future."
"Basically, if a demon has a powerful soul, it can manifest into powerful weapons. Like almost every demon I fought because he decided to summon the Tenem-ni-gru so he could get our dear old dad's power," Dante said as he pointed his thumb at Vergil.
"Must you tell everyone of that day," Vergil grumbled.
"Yes. Because that's how I ended up getting my shop's name," Dante said.
"Let's just move on. Who else did Lucifer want us to meet," Vergil stated before trying to change the subject.
"Oh my stars, is that really Eva and Michael's father," a woman's voice said from behind the twins. The Sons of Sparda turned to see Alastor accompanied by a tall and slender woman with a skeletal face, pitch-black eyes, and sharp teeth. She also wore a dress that looked as if it was high-class fashion in the Victorian era, complete with a large ornate sun hat. "It's so nice to meet you. I'm Rosie," she said as she introduced herself. "I run Cannibal Town and I was invited by Alastor. He's an old friend, so I couldn't say no to him. It's just been ages since we had a nice time at a party together, even if for the kids of a friend."
"We're more acquaintances than friends. But Cannibal Town, huh? I guess that's one place to get some finger food," Dante said in his sarcastic manner that made the woman giggle.
"Oh, quite the charmer. I see why the Princess of Hell fell for quite a young fella," Rosie laughed. "So you planning on getting back with her?"
"One step at a time. This is mainly for my kids," Dante said.
"Speaking of, where are the little darlings? Auntie Rosie's got the cutest little gifts for them," Rosie said as she showed some keychains that she thought the young twins would enjoy.
"It better not be a severed head. I heard this one scared my niece and nephew one time," Vergil eyed Alastor as he gave the black-coated half-demon a slight glare while still keeping his smile. "Luckily, he hasn't made such a move. Otherwise, I will gladly turn him into venison."
"A million dollars if you do so right now," Lucifer shared his opinion as Lilith just shoved her elbow into her husband. "Okay, fine but if anything scares my grandkids, I'm letting the edgelord get to cutting."
"Does he always act like this?" Rosie whispered to Dante as she eyed his brother.
"Most of my life. He probably didn't act like this when he got laid over 20 years ago," Dante whispered back.
"Ah, so he's single. Luckily, I'm a great matchmaker. I think I can get him a gal. He does like girls, right?" Rosie questions.
"Me and him are straight, so I won't tease him about that," Dante said as the crowd suddenly talked less and were now facing in one direction.
"Oh, that must be Charlie wanting to make an announcement," Lilith said leading her husband and the twins to the front where Charlie was at the bottom of the stairs.
"I would like to thank you all for attending this day for my son and daughter's birthday. I also want to thank the people who have set this all up. And I also want to thank their father, Dante, for doing most of the work and organizing this event with me," Charlie said as she pointed to Dante. The crowd clapped for him as he lifted his bottle of beer high as a salute. "And now, the moment everyone's been waiting for. The cake!"
Sir Pentious, his Egg Bois, and Niffty came out of the kitchen carrying a triple-layered chocolate cake topped with fresh cream and strawberries. Once the cake was laid on the large table table in front of Eva and Michael, Frank lit the seven candles.
"Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Eva and Michael!
Happy birthday to you!"
Once everyone sang, the twins blew out the candles and everyone clapped for the royal twins. Dante did the honors of cutting the cake into many evenly shaped pieces and everyone grabbed their share. Once the Morningstar twins finished eating their cake, they went to their presents. "Hold on, I want you two to open these first," the Demon Hunter told them as he handed them four wrapped-up gifts. Two of them were the same size while the other two were different shapes. Michael and Eva opened the smaller gifts first.
"Whoa, cool" they exclaimed in unison as they saw Dante gave them leather jackets in their size. Eva's was a bright pink jacket, while Michaels's was more of a maroon color. They both put on their jackets for everyone to see. Their next present were both long boxes, but Michael's box was a little wider. They opened it to see what they received. Eva's was a rapier with a skull for the pommel, a golden snake for the sweepings, and a hilt designed similar to a blooming rose. Michael's was a bit like a bastard sword of his height and it reminded the others of Rebellion, for those who saw it, except the skull had an eyeball in its jaws. Attached to the sword was a shield in the shape of the Morningstar family crest. Shaped like an apple with six wings, a snake coiled around with the inside of an apple core.
"Eva, your sword is called Faith as it will hold the faith of me and your moms when you fight," Dante told his daughter as she held the sword in her hands. He then turned to Michael as the boy saw the shield doubled as a sheath for his sword. "Michael, you were the man of the household when I wasn't here. Your sword is a copy of my old owe, Rebellion. Your sword is called Revolution. As for the shield, it's a symbol of you protecting your family, Riot," he told his son. "And now, your final gift from me," he put two identical necklaces around their necks. "Your grandmother, Eva, gave me and your Uncle similar necklaces. It held pieces of your grandfather's true power. I kept a look-a-like for the sake of keeping her in my memories," he showed them their grandmother's picture in his locket. "Now, your mother will be with you everywhere you go," he told them as inside their lockets was a picture of Charlie.
The Twins embraced their father on the gifts he had given them. "Thanks, Dad. You're the best," Michael said to him.
"We love you, Daddy," Eva added as she hugged her father.
"Love you too, kids," Dante said ruffling their hair as some demons 'awwed' at the touching moment. Some of them openly weeped too, like Sir Pentious crying with a smile on his face before Angel Dust gave the snake sinner a tissue.
The party continued as the kids opened more of their gifts and Niffty quickly cleaned up the shredded wrapping paper. The twins received a pair of guitars from Verosika, robotic mini Fizzies from both Fizzoroli and Ozzy, an endless supply of sweets from Bee, some literature from Zestial, and angelic steel gauntlets and bladed ballet slippers from Carmilla.
Once the party was over and all of the guests left for the day, Dante finished tucking both Eva and Michael to bed. As he was heading to his room, Charlie was in the hallway leaning on the wall. "Hey, Char. Going to see the kids and kiss them goodnight?"
"Nope, I did that earlier before you tucked them in bed," the Princess of Hell said, walking towards the Demon Hunter. "I'm here to bring you back to my room," she said wrapping her arms around his neck, looking into his eyes. "Consider this, your reward for being a good father," she leaned forward toward him and pecked his lips.
Dante was stunned but he returned the kiss as he wrapped his arms around the princess of Hell's waist. The kiss was getting heated as they opened their mouth and swirled their tongue in each other's mouths as they enjoyed their French kiss.
Once they pulled apart, with heavy breathing, Charlie gave the Demon Hunter a sly smile. "You are now permitted into my room and my bed," she grinned, pulling him to their bedroom. "I've waited seven years, and I'm not waiting anymore."
"I love it when you get feisty," Dante told her as he carried her bridal style and headed to their room.
As they walked past a window of the hotel, there was a small mechanical insect on the wall outside. It zipped its way into the hotel as it spied it way in. it looked around the hotel as it landed on the wall of Michaels's room.
Inside an unknown location in the Pride Ring, Agnus saw what the small drone was looking at on a screen. "Ah! Dante has little ones. This will be great for my next experiment," the mad scientist said clutching his hands as he gave a sinister laugh. "A sample of their blood is enough to give me what I need." Suddenly a ringing came from his phone as he answered. "Hello?"
"Agnus, do you have any updates," the voice said on the other end.
"Yes I do, it seems that Dante and the Princess have children," Agnus.
"What!?" the voice said sounding furious. "Those are his children!?"
"You seem very upset-t-t-t-t by this," Agnus said as he stuttered.
"Of course I'm upset! It was bad enough she married that moth chick, but now, her kids are Sparda's blood!?"
"But this is a good thing. It means I get samples. I can create demons that are from Sparda and Lucifer's DNA. They will be invincible!" Agnus said.
"They better be. I want to do this before another extermination happens. I don't want to deal with those Exorcist fuckers before I can get what I want. They may say they won't go after Hellborn, but they're slaughtering whoever they want. What's keeping them from killing everyone," the voice said.
"I understand, Lord-"
"Get to work!" the voice said before hanging up. "I'll make sure your head is chopped from your head, Dante!"
And that is where we will leave things off for now. For those who thought the voice was Adam, well now this confirms it's not him. Instead, it's somebody else. Besides, why would Adam work with a sinner when he callously rejected Charlie's idea for the hotel and decided "Screw you, I'm gonna stop by in another six months"?
