#split nero au

[majorcharacterundeath]

theres an au that exists in my head where Vergil tests splitting a hybrid w yamato on Nero, or more likely does Nero a "favor" and splits him. the demon part spirits its human part away to a hospital as soon as Vergil turns his back, and does not see V's birth.

the demon manages to give them kyrie's contact info, and she and nico drive to the hospital in red grave. by the time the human part wakes up, they r known as Nero and Human Nero (like that post abt someone's bf having the same name as their cat).

Human Nero recovers quickly and is p strong for a human. Nero isn't exactly weak but over-does it easily and eventually starts cracking like V. this does not stop it from being very protective of its humanity, and hates letting him out of its sight. it growls when ppl look at Human Nero too long (except Kyrie and the kids) and will try to be a meat-shield against demons.

i need to figure out how to draw bc i have so many stupid comic ideas for this. i also wanna draw the design i have in mind

#i am so out of practice drawing its not even funny #YES the demon uses it/its and the human uses he/him #nero dmc #devil may cry #devil may cry 5 #dmc5 #nero sparda #ripley posts #split nero au #going ahead and making a tag even tho tags dont work lmao

You think he's looking lovingly at you - But it's nowhere near the truth - His mind is up to no good - Oh, just because you're in the same bed - He's with someone else in his head, not a second thought about you - Oh, there's no turning back

Y’know you could totally make OMORI into the plot of Devil May Cry 5

#I’ve had this thought on my mind for like a week (probably more) #Okay but SUNNY would replace Vergil hear me out on this #So Sunny splits themself because of the whole MARI event and makes OMORI and Dreamworld Sunny #OMORI replaces Urizen and doesn’t remember the truth while Dreamworld SUNNY (called DREAMER) does remember #DREAMER takes the place of V and the phobia’s take the place of V’s summons #I figured The Qliphoth could be HEADSPACE and that BASIL could be Dante who gets banished to BLACKSPACE #And for Nero I was thinking maybe AUBREY? #Sadly I can’t really think of how to incorporate HERO and KEL #But anyways for the characterization of DREAMER I was thinking that they’d be a lot like OMARI SUNNY #More specifically mikkokomori’s SUNNY and interpretation of MARI’s headspace with the whole “hey we want to help you overcome your trauma” #But about AUBREY being Nero I’m uncertain about it because there’s a scene with Nero that’s kind of intrinsic to the story #And I worry that it would be out of character for AUBREY. So basically the way it goes down is that Nero gets told that Vergil is his dad #He is told this by Dante and is urged to leave the Qliphoth. Nero then decides that he’s not going to let his uncle and father unalive #Each other. The problem is that the only thing that really makes sense to get revealed here is what happened to MARI. #And I don’t know if AUBREY would still rush back in later to stop the fight between BASIL and SUNNY after learning this #Anyways yeah that’s the au that’s been stuck in my brain I wish I could bounce ideas off someone for it but. What can ya do? #omori #omori spoilers #omori basil #omori (character) #omori aubrey #devil may cry #also yeah this is cringe deal with it #this was originally going to be a plot synopsis but I couldn’t fit it in tags

Hey hey so if anyone wanted to read part one of that AU I've been talking about-

Leaving my Dadgil AU so people not logged in can read for now, as well as separating it into a Pseud for all my more recent DMC fic nonsense.

Summary: Vergil has taken care of a 6-year-old Nero for a few months now on his own with great struggle. Between dealing with a very temperamental child and demons closing in on their location, Vergil has to make a split second decision and hope it doesn’t leave Nero fatherless again.

House MD- Hunger Games District Two Victor AU: Victor!House and his Mentor

Actual fic! I stir from the depths of writer's block.

---

Author Notes:

I'm back for sort of some writing! I found @lorata's world and character building for District Two so comprehensive that sometimes when I get attached to a messed up character, I start applying them to their District Two world. I've written posts about who House MD characters' mentor would be, and I was inspired to actually write some scenes.

This one isn't dialogue heavy (shocking for me) but I did think it was necessary to set up the fusion of the House characters and Hunger Games world. It's primarily hurt/comfort.

The timeline of the character victories is very unrealistic (the gamemakers would never let District Two win this much) but oh well, this is a weird AU/crossover fic. The Hunger Games divergence here is what if Cashmere couldn't face what her life would be after her victory? So the 62nd and 63rd Games would go to Two. Also Enobaria's victory in the 62nd with Nero as a mentor is replaced by Lisa (Cuddy) with Nero as a mentor. Later, a "what if one of the District Two tributes listened to their mentors and killed Finnick in the bloodbath of the 65th" for Wilson's victory. Sorry to Finnick and Enobaria, but this is still technically a House AU.

Also Hunger Games tech is weird. The kind of prosthetic I describe I think fits with Capitol technology.

Lorata's District Two holds that volunteers ditch their last names so as unnatural as it is, House is Gregory, Cuddy will be Lisa, and Wilson will be James. I know, I know.

Many thanks to Lorata for their permission to use their characters. And for their work in general. It's absolutely stellar.

The story:

The first connection he makes when arriving at the Victor’s Village is with his mentor, Adessa. Good, obedient Victors bond with their mentors in the Capitol, seeing as the mentor is always there. And saved their life, or something. But Gregory is and has always been dedicated to ignoring tradition and making his own rules. Which is why it is super fucking annoying that he found someone whose rules he listens to. At least he was able to maintain his rage for a couple weeks. That’s almost something.

If he were the type of person to say sappy shit like she’s the parent he never had, or that he would be way more tolerant of authority if they were all like her, well, he would say it. But he’s not, so he doesn’t, end of story. Well, not out loud at least.

But he did hate her at first. On account of waking up in the Capitol hospital missing his leg. 

He remembers the final fight, Cashmere sticking her poisoned knife into his thigh as he barely managed to dodge, knowing it should have struck something vital. He also remembers when he ran her through with one of his short swords, and she leaned in close with blood staining her teeth, looked at his leg, and whispered that at least he’d have something to remember her by. 

He couldn’t shake the feeling that she had planned for him to win, even though he knows she hated him. That maybe the thought of him being the one to kill her was outweighed by the fear of what victory would mean for a girl from District One. Hurting him was the only way she could make it clear that he hadn’t beaten her. They had fought in training after it became clear she didn’t find him funny. During the almost mandatory pack banter, they played up the kind of sexual tension that only works when built on actual loathing tension. They tried to kill each other in the career pack split. She had been fighting for keeps then, he is certain. But he doesn’t know about the finale. One of the first things he let Adessa help him with was the feeling that she, his enemy, had gifted him his life and victory, only hurting his leg as a token of her (lack of) esteem. 

Hell of a token, though. After the adrenaline of the fight he felt the pain, the agonizing pain, worse than anything he had felt in his eighteen years of enduring torture. But he made it to the hovercraft walking on both his legs. 

He had his leg. He woke up without it.

He hated his mentor for the entire week it took to get back to the district. He endured the doctors talking about the newest prosthetics. He only barely listened to Adessa’s instructions on the proper humility to show to President Snow in order to avoid being summarily executed. He hated it. He hated looking the President in the eye and talking about how happy he was that he would be an ambulatory cripple, and how thankful he was for the Capitol’s mercy. He hated Adessa viciously, blamed her for taking away his choice even now that he had won and should have some fucking control over his life, but he listened because what she said made sense and he wasn’t suicidal.

After they finally got to the Village, it was another week until she was sure he was physically healthy enough for a hike. She took him deep into the forest under the guise of helping the prosthetic map his old neural pathways. When they were far enough she was certain no one or nothing would overhear, she gifted him with the truth.

No coddling, no hiding, no softening the words for the fragile, crippled baby Victor.

She told him what she overheard the doctors talking about. How the muscle in his thigh had died. They could save his leg, but they would have to remove the muscle almost entirely. He wouldn’t be able to walk without a cane, and he would almost certainly be in excruciating pain for the rest of his life. And then one of them had commented on how living with this “challenge” would be such a show of District Two bravery at its finest. The other had waved the comment off, but did say that it would show District Two that it wasn’t invulnerable. It wasn’t immune from the pain of the Games. Wouldn’t want them to get cocky, now that they’ve won twice in a row.

They didn’t know Adessa had overheard. Five minutes later they “briefed her” on the options. She asked them whether removing the leg entirely would lessen the risk of chronic pain. They admitted that it would, almost entirely, but insisted they could save it. She ordered them, as Gregory’s medical proxy, to remove his leg. They talked up their surgery, she insisted on amputation. They invoked the President’s support of the brilliance of the surgical technique, Adessa had held firm, affecting District Two's distrust of new technology.

She then looked Gregory in the eye and explained to him that yes, he would have to do insufferable press about living as an amputee. But it was nothing compared to the nightmares they’d force him through with a visible limp or mobility aid. The realistic-looking prosthetic, and its robotic technology helping him walk, would lessen the image image the Capitol press wanted. If Adessa had chosen the surgery, they would want to see Gregory's scar in every interview. They would only ever describe him in terms of his cane and gait. They would expect him to be soft and welcoming and unobtrusive— because surely an obviously disabled Victory couldn’t be frightening.

And even that was nothing compared to the inescapable pain they would make him endure with a smile and a humble word. 

Nothing compared to how much danger he would be in if the President decided District Two was getting uppity, and forced Gregory onto morphling to cope with his pain, with the purpose of getting him addicted— thus showing the district one of their symbols was “weak.” How even then he would still be expected to praise his torturers.

She held eye contact and told him that he had been unconscious, and she had used her decades of experience navigating the Capitol to make a judgment call. 

She hadn’t been able to stop her first Victor from falling into the claws of the Capitol, and she wouldn’t let it happen again. 

She wanted him to recover and finally live without the constant threat of physical pain. He had to stop himself from widening his eyes when she told him that he deserved a life with as little pain as possible.

So, she made them cut off his leg, she concluded. It seemed to her the only rational thing to do.

And then she did something the Centre had told him no mentor would do. Because mentors made choices for their Victors and took it as their due. She told him if he still thought she had made the wrong decision, she would apologize. She would make it up to him. He should have had control over his body, she had said with a viciousness he knew couldn’t be just about him.

He had stared back at her, shocked, feeling as though the world had been shaken from its axis. 

It somehow hadn’t occurred to him that she genuinely cared if he suffered. That she wasn’t just blindly exercising her power, as every authority in his life had done before her. She didn’t want him to hurt. She respected him. She talked to him as someone worthy of the facts. He was a person to her, not just a symbol of her prestige or the district’s strength. He was a person, and she wanted to help him.

He scanned her face, looking for the slightest hint of falsehood, he didn’t find it. Her stare was firm and unwavering. It wasn’t warm, but it was honest. 

He wanted to believe her, he wanted to trust her so badly it shocked him. Something in his chest hurt, because he couldn’t shut out the hope that this time it would be different. He should know better, but that knowledge was drowned by the desperate chorus in his mind that maybe, maybe, someone cared.

It allowed him, for one moment, to force himself to take her at her word. To consider the merits of the argument she presented.

In a moment that will definitely have sweeping strings behind in the soapy biopic he’ll make about himself, he realized she had made the right call. 

She made the right call. For him. Even though the Capitol didn’t want her to. She put his needs ahead of the Capitol— he’ll maybe leave that part out of the script.

When he makes the movie, he’ll definitely also leave out how his next thought, that repeated in his mind over and over, was that maybe he’d be safe now. 

Safe. 

He had never, ever, in his life, been safe.

And for some stupid fucking reason this robbed him of his ability to communicate beyond a nod, and produced a shit-ton of tears. He blamed the psych meds then and he blames them now, but still, a shit-ton of tears. So. Many. Fucking. Tears.

But before he could start properly hating himself for showing he wasn’t worthy of her respect with such a weak display, she moved into his line of sight. She carefully placed her hand on his shoulder, giving him time to register it as no threat. 

She didn’t crowd him into a suffocating hug. She didn’t force him to speak. She didn’t patronize him with stupid “comforting” nonsense. 

She let him cry —loudly and messily, like a small child that had never been forced into an ice-bath and thus didn’t know to shut the fuck up before someone heard— and she let him feel her steady, calm presence behind him. If he moved one of his hands to grasp her hand, just for a second, neither of them needed to talk about it. 

When he calmed down, he let his eyes reach hers again, blue meeting brown. And they stayed like that, not speaking but understanding each other, for a long moment. Finally she nodded, and he nodded back, and they exchanged small, barely-there smiles.

“We should continue our walk,” she told him. “The prosthetic does work better the more impulses it receives from the brain. Additionally, it is unseasonably cool today, and therefore we will be less likely to dehydrate on a longer journey, compared to tomorrow’s forecast.”

That made sense. Something making sense grounded him. It let him start thinking clearly. Maybe he’d feel better if his new leg worked more like his old. 

He still didn’t want to look at it, but the prosthetic no longer made him want to rip it off his body and beat everyone in the vicinity, especially Adessa, to death. 

“That’s a good idea.”

They returned to the village’s main hiking path and continued towards the lake. Gregory hated the walk prior to their conversation. The not-quite-connected prosthetic made him slightly unsteady, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that if/when a tribute burst out of the bushes, he wouldn’t be able to fight. He had felt helpless, like his mere presence would bring someone violent and angry to hurt him in his weakened state. When he had looked at Adessa, he wondered if she was judging him, or if she was enjoying having her power over him cemented in such a physical way. She could do whatever she wanted to him and he couldn’t even run. 

After The Talk (as he would forever call it, earning an amused smirk from Adessa) it was different.

He still felt helpless, for fleeting moments. But less so. When he felt the tell-tale squeezing in his chest, he subtly looked over at his mentor, walking a comfortable distance away, but still next to him. This time looking at her was strangely comforting.

It took him a while to place the not-unpleasant feeling that had settled across his mind: he felt less alone. 

He felt like maybe he really did have someone that would protect him.

He’s the messed up kind of person that needed to win the damn Hunger Games to get anything good in his life. But at least it worked. 

He and his mentor still walk to the lake often, and she keeps him safe.

reaaally contemplating what to do with Nero and V in this au - originally I wanted to swap their places aswell, meaning that Nero is dantes human half and V is dantes son- but I'm not too sure anymore if it would make sense (??)

My original plan was that Nero would be a small child, roughly in the same age where Dante and vergil split up for the first time (so around 8). His nightmares would form into devil bringers that Nero would have on each limb, each limb would represent dantes styles in a way aswell ( in comparison to V's tattoos in canon)

My plan for V was that he was already born with tattoos, and then in dmc 4 it would form his ghostly devil trigger on his back. Thats also where rebellion could be stored (rebellion and yamato's abilities are swapped aswell)

idk I'm just brainstorming grrrr

I feel like I should specify that all the electricity I had in high school was calculating the resistance on parallel and sequenced circuits (or both). Which basically requires you to know like 2 formulas, when to use them and how to reform them to get what you want. It’s very visual too, which means being dyslexia gives me a boost because anything visual becomes a lot easier.

I also had some electricity last year because God knows why my teacher fell the need to throw that in (it wasn’t even a physics course! If I wanted physics I would have chosen Physics!). I was terrible at that (I can barely remember what it was). In my defence the teacher never taught us any of it, all of it was self tuition which is hell with dyslexia as severe as mine. Like I have other teachers who do guided self tuitions where you essentially get ‘tests’ you have to make, but they are open book so you’re just supposed to look it up while making it and then you’ll at least know what is and isn’t important. Pure self tuition sucks because I cannot differentiate between what is and isn’t important and everything takes me twice as long and twice as much energy as a Nero typical student (as you can image, lockdown was a special kind of hell I only got through because my friends would sent me their answers for all the heavy reading assignments so I could copy it.)

Also, STEM is very cool and fun. It’s so useful for world building. The amount of times I slide into my STEM friends’ DM’s to ask worldbuilding related questions and discuss what I could and couldn’t pull of with suspension of disbelief is so much fun. Not to mention that learning how you body works is awesome and good for the hypochondria. BUT the way STEM is taught is often very shit. Both in high school and in uni. They tend to get split into separate subjects when all of them connect, making teacher dependant on each other to build their subject matter. And I have friends in uni who will spend like an 8-10 hour day in a lab every week , who then have to write and finish a lab report by the next week.

Lastly,

Me 🤝 Snowflake

Being hella game for the royalty au when it drops and ready to analyse it it shreds.

P.s. oooooooohhhhhhhhh, kitties!

-🌲

that's the kind of electricity stuff I had to do too and it was so difficult for me to grasp 😭 which didn't make sense bc like you said it's literally just two formulas you have to plug stuff into but idk maybe my uni course went more into detail i dont remember

man having to teach yourself concepts like that is the worst. guided self teaching is fine like you said especially with open book tests, but pure self teaching is so hard because if you get confused on one thing it feels like everything falls apart. and i'm sure for you it was especially difficult with having to read so much stuff on your own. I definitely get the lockdown thing too, my grades spiraled down over lockdown and never fully recovered (and that was the year i failed a class for the first time ever. feelsbadman fuck organic chemistry)

but like you said STEM topics are very useful to know about for worldbuilding purposes (like me heavily bullshitting a somewhat scientific explanation for tommy's healing power in clinic so there's logical reasoning to it lmao)

lab reports... don't remind me shudders

If you're interested in roleswap AUs I have a recommendation for you. If you go to youtube and search up Champion Analysis he has some videos on the roleswap. The first one is called "What if Dante and Vergil switched? Part 1 | Devil May Cry 5 Analysis" and the second is called the same but part 2 instead of part 1. Then he has a more detailed rewrite of DMC 3 with the idea called "Vergil May Cry | Vergil's Awakening (Ft. Emirichu)"

He has some other good character analysis videos as well to check out.

Thank you for the reccomendation! I have seen and listened to those videos with great interest.

What I like about roleswap au is that, I think it is a darker DMC timeline. I truly believe Dante cannot be a 'redeemable' antagonist in this franchise. Both twins are hotheaded idiots, but Vergil has a tendency to tunnel vision his goals, while Dante doesn`t. And for Dante to be the antagonist of the series he would have to do atrocities his bleeding heart would not be able to come back from.

Personally, my favourite version of this can be read in Devil May Cry D fic by Strawberry_Hope (albeit the fic is written in russian, sadly there is no english translation available).

The fic takes place during the events of the 5 plot. Dante has come back from Hell, crazed as he was he fought Vergil and Nero on first sight, and by accident (and by being extremely traumatised and mentally unstable) he gets split just as in base game. The main differences being that human!Dante is hiding a lot from his relatives, acts extremely clowny, and is actually ashamed to be near them. The Dante in this story is very different to the canon one, because when this Dante saw Eva get mauled to death by demons, this Dante triggered in anger and fear and lashed out with his claws and wings at anything in his reach, then ran away and passed from exhaustion. He got this anger-filled bloodlust from early childhood, and has been his closest ally ever since. This Dante willingly cast anything humane away in order to fill that void inside with carnage around him, and the human!Dante during the events of the fic is deeply ashamed of himself for this, especially when he feels the need to compare himself to the 'perfect elder family heir' Vergil, who is this fic is a Legendary Demon Hunter. Just as in canon, Vergil in this fic is very much troubled by his inability to save his family members, is afraid of letting them down, and vows to do everything he can to restore Dante back to health (which human!Dante himself is unsure if he wants, because even while he is dying, he at least is certain he won`t fall into madness in his current condition, and he is unsure how to contain his hysteria when he gets restored). Oh, also the demon!Dante goes on a rampage between realms, killing every demon with his bare hands, claws and fangs, he is literally feral. His chapters are chilling to the bone.

Kinktober Day 5: Demon / Monster Fucking: Urizen/Leon S. Kennedy

Summary: He had been in plenty of predicaments before and had always managed to get out of them. Though, this time, Leon wasn't dealing with a BOW. Christ, as much as he hated to admit it, he would rather be dealing with a BOW. He would even take a tyrant over…whatever Urizen was supposed to be.

That's what he got for not taking Dante and Nero's word and letting them handle this. And for letting his emotions cloud his judgement, finding out that the bastard who had taken his son's arm for a sword Nero didn't even have anymore…well…Leon wanted to personally empty a clip into his skull. He just hadn't anticipated a fucking demon bigger and stronger than any BOW Leon had encountered before.

(In which this takes place during an AU where Vergil used a spell to split man from demon, but he still need Yamato to reach his full potential and summon the fruit of the Qliphoth. Leon still has Yamato, (mainly because for the sake of this fic, it didn’t transfer to Nero because Leon doesn’t know how to do that) but due to his own issues and battle weariness, the blade is not as strong as it used to be.

So, Urizen decides to strengthen them both.

(For those familiar with Deal with a Devil: Vergilleon aka Leon is Nero’s other parent AU. Can also be read as a standalone as well considering this isn’t how it’s going to go in the AU. Not completely) That and the plot took way longer and it was supposed to be smut but, it wrote itself. Now, excuse me. I’m going to bed now lollll)

About/ Verses

Lucan Paulo

Modern Verse-

Height 6’2 Age- 38- 45 (verse dependent) Sign: Leo Build- muscular role - Top- dom Sexuality - Bisexual (heavily male leaning) Job title- P.R. Manager - (later, movie producer) Lucan has been independent and image conscious all his life, but that increased ten-fold when his parents split and his mother sent him to school in the States.. In short, presenting a polished appearance gives him a sense of control. He takes after his outgoing, flashy, regal, mother- her focus on looks and luxury. He also has her hidden sense of kindness, and a moral compass that is a little beaten and bent, but functional despite some creative interpretation. He has a tense relationship with his father, and often travels to Spain to visit- if only to help manage the wineyard/winery and ranch of his family's estate. While in college, he met one of the great loves of his life, Druscilla Bennet, which whom he had a son, that he is now largely estranged from. However, he maintains a lifelong friendship with Dru to this day, despite his son's disapproval. Hobbies - Working out, reading. Horseback riding. His family has bred Iberian horses, which has linked their family with Spanish royalty, the Royal Spanish stud, and diplomacy for generations and thus has an extensive knowledge of breeding and genealogy as well. Lucan is a cat person, owning a serval hybrid (savannah cat) named Monkey.

Verses- to be exapanded later

Dragon Age AU, potterverse AU (fuck jkr), LOTR AU, DC/Marvel AU as follows:Dragon age AU-Lucanus Paulo Age, born in the year (unknown) Astrological sign - Unknown Mortalitasi (Death Mage) of Nevarra. Advisor to King Markus, a man of advanced years and ailing mental faculties. He met a noblewoman of Ostwick from the Trevelyan family and fathered a son they named Antoniz (Anthony in Ostwick). He made a somewhat earnest attempt to help rear the child, and he spent time between the Free Marches and Nevarra in his youth, but Lucanus largely kept the boy at arm's length emotionally. It was a horrible strike of luck that the boy was revealed to be a mage once in Ostwick and sent to the Circle to live under Chantry rule. Were his magical talent to be discovered in Nevarra, he would have lived freely and Lucanus would (eventually) taken him under his wing, tutored him and perhaps even induct him into the Mortalitasi Order. Alas, it was not the case, and Lucanus grew to take an interest in his son at last, if from afar, and mainly the accounts his spies relayed to him about the boy's progress. Meanwhile Lucanus continues to advise the king for as long as his reign lasts. Having no successors, the future of Nevarra remains uncertain. To say that the transition of power will be bloody is a vast understatement, and Lucanus has many contingencies planned to ensure the Nevarra remains strong, is not re-subsumed into Tevinter or the Marches, and that mages remain free at least in this small pocket of the world not controlled by Tevinter. Lucanus takes an especially keen pride in Nevarra's necropolis, finding comfort in the grand city of the dead, its macabre moaning gardens and ornate streets. Spirits have often whispered that Lucanus is destined for a premature death, which hampers his investment in his own life even as he works towards posterity and his country's future.

Hogwarts AU (to be expanded later) Lucan (Lucanus) Paulo was named so when his parents partook in the time-honored, yet somewhat infamous practice of taking their child to a Name Seer who read the baby's future, and likened his fate to that of Marcus Annaeus Lucanus , a friend of Nero who was killed for criticizing his dictatorship. It just so happens that early death seems to strike many males in the Paulo family line, (and perhaps that is why Lucan is often distant with his son, no matter the world or timeline). LOTR AU “Kings built tombs more splendid than the houses of the living and counted the names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry or in high cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so the kingdom of Gondor sank into ruin, the line of kings failed, the white tree withered and the rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men. ” Lucanus's family is of Gondor, and has been long tasked with the overseeing of the tombs of the great city. Lucan's line extends to the founding of Arnor, and yet is somewhat sullied and infamous for several of his line abandoning the city in favor of becoming 'Black Numenoreans' and practicing black magic. Despite the passing of an age, the whispers follow Lucanus to this day to the point that Lucanus has sent his wife and son away.

DC, Marvel AU Dc- Lucan is largely similar to his "modern verse" but he is a pure or almost pure homo-magi who specializes in a blend of urban and death magic, which he has passed onto his son.

Rulers of the Moon AU Extella Plotline Final Part

So a bit late on this but here we are with the final part of the Extella outline for Rulers of the Moon. This won't take too long since the final battle pretty much is the same as the game but with the Saber Venus being the result of Tamamo's ritual along with Nero's own knowledge of magic thanks to Simon Magnus. As I left off last time the group splits into two and we eventually have our battle with Altera. Nero does her NP, Altera ends up surrendering, Body of Hakuno reveals that once Hakuno reforms the Regalia and they will cease to exist and while Hakuno and Rin doesn't like it, Rin points out it's the only way they would be able to access all of the Moon Cell's resources to make use of the Heroic Spirit Apotheosis ritual and Body of Hakuno says it's okay if it means they will save Altera and disappears after saying her farewell to Altera and commenting how regular Hakuno is lucky to have someone like Rin at her side. We can't have a version of Hakuno die without having them at least flirt with Rin once. Soon after Hero Altera disappears and returns to her titan self, we have Archimedes who is very upset with how everything has went, specifically thanks to Rin. He comments how she shouldn't even be alive as she lost during the Grail War and Twice's Grail War had no survivors, only victors and those who lost and died. Rin, in turn, comments how he's a hypocrite and reveals everything that happened i.e. him going into the Zero Dark against the Moon Cell's permission and ended up getting corrupted by the Umbral Star, awakening Sefar even though she would not have awaken unless the Umbral Star was nearing the system, which it isn't, and lied and manipulated Hakuno with the 14,000 year system check just to get her to come with him to the Zero Dark and have Altera destroy the Regalia by accident by killing Hakuno thus allowing the Umbral Star to find Earth and finish it's harvest from 14,000 years ago. She also reveals that the Regalia itself controls the jamming radar the Moon Cell has on the entire galaxy to keep Umbral Star from finding Earth in not just their world but all worlds and, without it, the Umbral Star would return to Earth and wipe out all life across all timelines and worlds. Archimedes prepares to fight stating that once he's dealt with Nero and Hakuno, he'll unleash Sefar upon the Earth and make Rin watch before he kills her slowly, stating she'll wish Hakuno hadn't saved her from being deleted during the war.

This threat would be the worst mistake Archimedes ever did because now Hakuno is pissed and has Nero fight with absolute no mercy. Que all the fight with Archimedes, the stuff with him trying to crash Altera's ship into the Moon Cell Core itself, Titan Altera coming to save the day thanks to Elizabeth and her hijinks (the first time her hijinks benefited the group), and with the Sword of Mars and Tamamo stating the ritual is ready, the two together perform Heroic Spirit Apotheosis and Nero becomes Saber Venus and the final battle against Archimedes happens where Saber Venus blows up the Ark of Stars from the inside, while also severing the connection between Altera and the Umbral Star. This initially causes her body to dissipate leaving only the core coding for her being but thanks to Hakuno and Rin, they reconnect her to the Moon Cell's system and Altera remanifests as Altera Larvae. Hakuno immediate thought of seeing Altera Larvae as well as her clearing having a young mind asks Rin if this means they are Altera's moms? Rin, in Rin fashion, immediately is surprised by the comment, and is also not helped when Altera calls Hakuno 'Mama' and Rin 'Mother'. Hakuno basically says that "hey, you're a human, I'm an NPC created by an Alien Supercomputer and we are living inside it, what's an Alien Giantess turn Superweapon reborn as a...whatever Altera Larve is now to add to their absurd situation?" Ultimately Rin agrees and we have a funny moment of Nero wanting to be called big sis by Altera (something she mentions during the game about wanting a sister) and Altera does and over the comms, Altera ends up calling Tamamo Aunt and Tamamo has a moment where she exclaims she's too young to be called Aunt and everyone has the dead pan look given how they mentioned Amaterasu being over 14,000 years old. That night everyone is celebrating and Hakuno, now with the full Regalia, is looking into something. When she figures out it is possible and not split herself in separate pieces in the process, Hakuno, unbeknownst to anyone else, splits the Regalia in half. During the height of the party Hakuno goes up to Rin in front of all the servants, get on one knee and propose to Rin asking her to be her queen as Soverign of SE.RA.PH. and presents her with her half of the Regalia, with it having a red gemstone on it.

Rin accepts, of course, though after she wakes up from passing out as her brain and heart couldn't handle it. Cu, Medusa, and Nameless all facepalm at this moment at Rin being hopeless. Rin becomes Queen of the Moon and Hakuno takes her proper place as Sovereign of SE.RA.PH. Some time passes after all of this as the damaged areas of SE.RA.PH. are repaired, the Millennium Castle aka Tamamo's territory is constructed and all the servants, save for Nameless and Lu Bu, step down as generals, until they are needed once more, and go off to do their own adventures same as they do at the end of Extella. At the same time, not only do the NPC numbers increase but humans, both hackers and non-hackers, start migrating to the Moon, and, soon enough, Rani returns with a familiar face in the form of Living Shirano...though no Living Hakuno. Rani, takes one look at the two, and congratulates them on getting married before explain that, while she was able to wake and cure living Shirano, by the time she had found the two, Living Hakuno's cryostasis pod had finally failed and Hakuno, while was awake for a few moments, sadly passed soon after from her Amnesia Syndrome.

This is Fate after all, we can't have our characters be happy for too long less people forget what story they are reading. So we cap the Extella plotline off with Hakuno and Shirano having the awkwardness of meeting and being aware of things the other doesn't know as well as the developing situation of the Moon with humanity migrating, having an Alien Giantess to raise, and Archimedes still being alive thanks to another version of him from the sliding hijinks of the main Extella series popping up. Not to mention the stuff with Gilgamesh and the next Anti-Cell and much more. All this will be explored during the Extella Link outline.
