Black Rose King
is a Blood+ Alternate Continuity fanfic written by Vergil Divas chevalier.
Just as Saya and Diva are about to end their long-running feud, they are forced to put their differences aside when Alessandro Noirroi, a Chiropteran "King" bent on exterminating them and their bloodline, arrives on the scene.
Black Rose King has examples of:
- Absurdly Sharp Blade: Saya and Diva's swords, of course.
- Action Girl/Dark Action Girl: Saya and Diva.
- Alternate Continuity: Follows the series up to Saya and Diva's final showdown in the Metropolitan Opera House, then spins off from there.
- Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better: As a Chiropteran King, Alessandro is far more powerful than Saya and Diva combined, cannot be killed by their blood, and has no need to actually drink blood to survive.
- Armor-Piercing Question: When a Red Shield member attempts to shoot Diva in revenge for his family, Saya insists that they need Diva to beat Alessandro and asks if his family would want him to put revenge before stopping a threat even worse than Diva.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Saya's assessment of Alessandro and his capabilities are that he's "arrogant, a showoff, a sexist pig… and strong enough to kill all of us with a pinky."
- Badass Normal: The humans of the Red Shield.
- Big Bad: Alessandro Noirroi, a Chiropteran King bent on destroying Saya and Diva.
- Big Damn Heroes: During their first battle with Alessandro, Haji arrives just in time to save Saya from being eaten alive by a mob of Chiropterans under Alessandro's control.
- Boomerang Bigot: Alessandro openly expresses disgust for most other Chiropterans, believing that their species was tainted by Saya's and Diva's births because their father was a Chevalier rather than a King. He is particularly disgusted by Saya and Diva, hating Diva because she was enslaved by humans and had to be named by her sister, and being particularly disgusted by Saya because she chooses to integrate into humanity and protect it.
- Bloody Murder: Alessandro states that, while the blood of a King cannot kill a Queen, it still hurts them badly- which he demonstrates by stabbing Diva in the shoulder with her own sword (laced with his blood, of course), spitting his own blood right in Diva's eyes, and finally cutting his own hand and using it to punch clean through Diva's gut.
- Bullet Catch: At one point, Alessandro deliberately catches a hailstorm of bullets in his teeth and then spitting them at Saya and Haji.
- Curb-Stomp Battle/No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Alessandro makes his grand entrance by putting the smackdown on both Diva and Saya, leaving the former near-death.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Saya, though that goes without saying.
- Deadpan Snarker: Alessandro. Not only can he avoid Saya and Diva's attacks with ease, he even finds time to crack jokes while doing so.
- The Determinator: Alessandro will stop at nothing to destroy Saya and Diva, at one point swearing to take them and everything they've ever touched and burn and bury them in "the worst-smelling landfill possible."
- Enemy Mine: Saya and Diva are forced to team up to fight Alessandro.
- Everyone Has Standards: Despite their hate-filled rivalry, Saya still feels pity for Diva when she's locked in a heavy duty container meant to hold Chiropterans.
- Fantastic Racism:
- Alessandro has nothing but disgust for the humans and all non-Chiropteran life forms.
- One Red Shield member attempts to shoot a helpless and restrained Diva, and then disgustedly tells Saya that she's no different from Diva and just as responsible for the deaths of his family as Diva is.
- Flash Step
- Good Thing You Can Heal: Saya and Diva, naturally.
- He-Man Woman Hater/Straw Misogynist: Alessandro.
