On the next day Y/n woke up around noon. No one was disturbing him so he managed to rest after staying up late the night before. Y/n got up, took a shower, and went downstairs to get something to eat. Vergil was torturing Y/n's console, Nico was in the garage again, while Kyrie and Nero were cooking dinner.
-Hi. –said Y/n to basically all of them without a care in the world. He made his way to the kitchen and made cereal. Then he sat at the table and started eating.
-How was yesterday? – asked Kyrie.
-We came there, danced a bit and that's basically all. – shrugged Y/n.
-Wasn't that bad, huh? – said Nero.
-Wasn't that good I'd say. – answered Y/n. – At least my company wasn't bad. But the music? And theme? Terrible. Did Dante take the car?
-Yeah, this morning. – nodded Nero. –Why?
-I just wanted to make sure I don't have to go anywhere today. – said Y/n.
He finished his food and stretched up. Then he made his way to the couch and plopped on it, next to Vergil. He handed him the other controller and switched to the mode for two players. Y/n took the controller without a word and started the game.
-Did she had fun? – asked Vergil.
-Yeah. – answered Y/n with a nod.
-Good job. – said Vergil. - Being a gentleman leads to girls hearts, remember that.
Y/n decided to not to make any comments about what his grandfather said. He preferred to just drop the subject and forget about the whole ordeal with the prom. He focused on the game, it was a perfect way to relax. Apart from fighting demons that is.
Time skip
Vergil kept thinking about the level of Y/n's power. He wanted to measure it somehow, but apart from feeling the aura coming off of him, that was all. Fighting him was not an option too, cause Nero kept refusing on letting that happen all the time.
-So what's your plan? – he asked. He was on the phone with Dante at the moment.
-Do you remember the Tower of Fear? We could open a Bloody Palace and race to the top. – said Dante. – I wonder if he will get there before us...I'll call Lady and Trish too. This may be fun.
-Then I'll tell Nero about that. – sighed Vergil. – Let's do it.
They hung up on each other at the same time. Vergil walked out of his room and looked for Nero. He found him in the garage, fixing something under the van.
-Can we talk? – asked Vergil.
-Yeah. – answered Nero and got out from under the vehicle. – What's up?
-Dante and I want to perform the Bloody Palace. – he said. – We want you and Y/n to join.
-Sure. – nodded Nero.
-That's it? – Vergil was surprised. – I thought you don't want to put Y/n in danger.
-Cause I don't want to. – said Nero. – But I know he'll got this, especially after kicking Mundus's ass. I just don't want you or Dante to fight him. No more fights in the family. Racing to the top of the Bloody Palace is a completely different thing.
-I understand. – Vergil smiled a little. – I'll tell Y/n that he will have some fun.
-He'll be delighted. – chuckled Nero and got back to his work.
Vergil walked out of the garage. Even though he wouldn't admit it openly, he felt proud of Nero. He cared of his family, not only Kyrie and Y/n, but also him and Dante. Vergil found his grandson napping in his room. Waking him up might be dangerous, but at least he had good news.
-Y/n, may I come in? – asked Vergil knocking on the door.
-Yeah, I'm not sleeping. – he said and opened his eyes.
-I know you're bored lately, so Dante and I will prepare the Bloody Palace. – he said. That caught Y/n's attention.
-Bloody Palace? – he asked. – What's that?
-You've never been to the Bloody Palace? – Vergil was quite surprised when his grandson shook his head. – Well it's like a tower, with 9999 floors. On each floor you kill demons, smaller or bigger, that's up to your luck. When you clear the floor, three portals open. You have to use whichever you like to move to the next floor. Here's the catch, one of the portals moves you one floor higher, second one moves you ten floors higher, and the third moves you hundred floors higher. You have to figure out which one lets you complete the Palace faster. – explained Vergil. - We'll be racing to the top of the Palace, you, me, Dante, Nero, Lady and Trish.
-So the one who completes the Bloody Palace first wins. – grinned Y/n. – Can't wait.
