Bayonetta and Cloud were in the lobby of the hotel. Bayonetta was still slightly upset that Corrin had to be locked in his hotel room.

"Ugh! How unfair! My darling has to be stuck in that room and miss out on all the fun. Damn that stick in the mud sister of his." Bayonetta said.

"Well what do you think we should do?" Cloud asked.

An idea struck in Bayonetta's head. "I know what we can do. I have the power to turn invisible."

"You can do that?"

"Mmhmm. Just watch this." Bayonetta snapped her fingers and she turned invisible. "Amazing isn't it? Let me see if I can still be a good ghost." Bayonetta sees a couple being flirty with each other. Bayonetta takes out a used condom wrapper and walks behind the guy. Bayonetta drops the used condom wrapper.

The woman sees the wrapper on the floor. "What the fuck is that?!" She yelled pointing at the wrapper.

The man look at the wrapper confused. "Uhh..."

"How about you go back to your hoes and fuck them?!"

"W-Wait! This isn't mi-" The man's sentence was cut short as he got kicked in the nuts by the woman's high heels. The man crumbles to the floor and cries in pain.

Cloud chuckled a little. Bayonetta walked back to him. "Did you enjoy that?" Bayonetta smirked.

"A little." Cloud shrugged.

"Alright then. Let's get that room key and get Corrin out of his room."

"Question, why did you have used condom with you?"

"Don't worry about it. Now come on. You casually walk around the lobby while I get the key from behind the desk."

Cloud started walking slowly in the lobby. The man behind the counter started staring at Cloud feeling a sense of suspicion. "Don't mind me. Just...casually walking to my room. By myself. With nobody else around but me." Cloud looks past the guy and sees the room key being taken. Bayonetta got the room key and she started heading for Corrin's room with Cloud quickly walking behind her.


Corrin was in his hotel room. He was on the bed crying. He wanted to go out and hang with Bayonetta and Cloud. He wanted to explore more of Las Vegas. Instead he had to be locked in hotel room because of his sister. Corrin looked up as he heard the doorknob turning. Someone was entering the room.

"W-Who's out there?" Corrin asked wiping his eyes.

The door opens. Bayonetta and Cloud were standing outside of the room. "What are you doing here darling? You're supposed to be out here having fun with us." Bayonetta smirked.

Corrin smiled widely and hugged Bayonetta and Cloud. "Cere! Cloud! You came for me!"

"Of course. We promised to take you out for some fun, and we're going to do just that. Come now, dry those tears. The three of us are going to have the time of our lives." Bayonetta said.

The three started to head out of the hotel from the lobby. As they reached the front door, Bayonetta stopped Corrin and Cloud and the three hid behind a wall. The three looks at the front entrance and sees Kamui standing in front of the exit.

"Uh oh. Sister is out there. If she find out I left the room, I'm going to get in big trouble." Corrin said with fear.

"Shit. We're going to need a distraction in order for us to slip by her." Bayonetta said. A smirk appeared on the Umbrea Witch's face and she looked at Cloud.

Cloud knew what Bayonetta wanted from him. He started moving back. "Oh no. No no no. I'm not doing it." Cloud shook his head.

"Corrin honey, could you give me a Cloud a second to talk?" Bayonetta step aside from Corrin and approached Cloud. "You are not doing this right now. You're going to go over there and talk to her."

"No. You still owe me for talking to her back at the beach so you can flirt with Corrin. I got a black eye for that too."

"Come on Cloudy. I'm not letting Corrin stay here by himself. I want us all to enjoy this vacation. We can't do that as long as she stands in our way. This will be the last time I ever ask for anything. I promise."

Cloud sighed. "Fine. I'll do it. You better keep your word."

Cloud walks to Kamui and taps on her shoulder. Kamui's heart skipped a beat when she turned to see her crush facing her.

"C-Cloud!? What are you doing here?" Kamui asked as she blushed.

"I uh...was looking for you."

"Y-You were?" Kamui raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah. You were looking a little down back at the airport. Is everything alright? It seems like you don't want to be here."

"No that's it. Cloud, a lot of things have just been wild for me lately. From my siblings coming over to my brother dating Bayonetta...I've just been stressed."

"I see. Did you think it was okay to lock Corrin in the room by himself?"

"Cloud, I don't want anything bad to happen to Corrin. You know how much he means to me. We don't know anything about this place. Corrin can't be out there by himself. He'll get hurt...or worse…" Kamui paused after saying that. Cloud had an idea on what she could be talking about. He would have told her that it wasn't an issue if he was around, but she continued talking. "I don't feel okay doing it because it reminds me of home, but I must protect Corrin at all cost."

"Bayonetta and I were going to look after him. I know she'll definitely look out for Corrin, and so would I. I kind of like hanging out with Corrin. I tend to have fun when it's just Bayonetta, him, and me."

Cloud looks to the side and sees Bayonetta and Corrin sneaking behind Kamui. Bayonetta signals Cloud to leave as her and Corrin exit out the hotel.

"Uh Cloud, is everything okay?" Kamui asked.

"Y-Yeah. Hey uh, I gotta go."

"Huh? Why? I thought you wanted to talk to me." Kamui slightly frowned.

"I did. I'm just...going out to hang with Bayonetta. I'll uh, see you later Kamui." Cloud quickly ran to the exit.

Kamui sighed. She also felt a little hurt. First Cloud wanted to talk to her, but now he wants to hang out with Bayonetta. She already took Corrin from her, now her crush was being taken away.

"What is it with you and your pitiful feelings for Cloud? It's obvious he doesn't want you." Malicious said.

"You should be even more worried about Cloud." Fury said.

"Do you really think he's your friend?" Pride asked.

"What? What are you talking about?" Kamui asked.

"He's more interested in getting into Corrin's pants than yours. Bayonetta isn't the only one who wants to take Corrin from you." Hatred reminded her.

"To think, the one you love is being taken away by the one you love. How sad. I can feel the pain in your heart. It only makes me much stronger." Pain laughed.

Kamui started to get a terrible migraine in her head. She holds her head and starts groaning in pain. "N-No! Stop! Just leave me alone!" Kamui screamed out loud in her mind. "I have to get these guys out of my head, but what can I do?"

Kamui looked at a flier on the wall. It said that they were giving out free drinks at the Lucky Gold Dragon Casino. "A drink...yeah. I need one…something to wash away these demons." Kamui regains her composure and starts heading for the casino.


The Lucky Gold Dragon Casino was a very large building with a large golden dragon on top of the building. It was even large in the inside. There were a bunch of people dressed in fancy suits and dresses. They were many slot machines. Tables for card games and roulette. There was also a bar. On the second floor, there were people eating dinner and drinking while watching others gamble.

Corrin looked in amazement. "Wow! Look at this place! It's huge!"

"Nice place, don't you think Cloudy?" Bayonetta asked.

"Yeah, it's pretty alright." Cloud shrugged.

A man in a tuxedo appeared in front of the trio. "ID cards please?" The man extends his hand.

Corrin looked confused. Bayonetta started to get a little nervous. No one will believe she's six hundred and he might accuse her of being even younger than what she looked. Corrin is also eighteen, so he could get kicked out easily. Cloud didn't have much to worry about because he was twenty three, but he can see how nervous Bayonetta was even if she was trying to hide it.

"Uh...well..." Cloud was trying to find words to say.

"Wait a minute? I may be going crazy at the moment. Are you...Cloud Strife?" The man asked.

Cloud looked confused. How did this random stranger know his name? "...Yes?"

"Charge your limit. Right now."

"Okay then..." Cloud starts to charge his limit break and an aura began to surround around him.

The guy's mouth opened agape. "I. Can't. Believe it. You're Cloud Strife! The real Cloud Strife! Dude, Final Fantasy VII was amazing!" The guy shook Cloud's hand.

Cloud was still looking a little confused. "Uh, thank you?"

"You and friends can come in! Don't even worry about it! Have fun! Awesome meeting you Mr. Strife!" The man left the trio alone.

Bayonetta and Cloud were left with a confused expression.

"That guy must really like you Cloud." Corrin said.

Cloud sighed. "Well at least we don't have to worry about getting kicked out."

"What are we doing standing here like sitting ducks? Let's win some money boys!" Bayonetta said.

"Oh! Let's start over there!" Corrin pointed over to the roulette table.

"Roulette? Why did you have to pick the luck based one?" Cloud groaned.

"Wouldn't you consider most gambling games unfair?" Bayonetta asked.

"I mean yes, but this one is definitely the hardest to win at." Cloud told her. "I would prefer Chocobo Racing over roulette."

The trio walked towards the roulette table. The roulette table was surrounded by a lot of people who were losing a lot of their chips to the dealer.

"Ahh, we got some new players here. You up for a little bet in roulette?" The dealer asked.

"Sure!" Corrin said excitedly.

"Alright lad. I'm going to give you ten chips of each color. Red is worth five, Blue is worth ten, Green is worth twenty five, and Black is one hundred. Now, the whole point of game is you have to place a bet on which number the ball will land on. For example you can say red twenty five or black thirty seven. You have to put any amount of chips on any number you think the ball will land on. Or...go all in and put your chips on one number like an idiot."

"I want to go all in! The ball will land on twenty one black!"

"Welp. Your lost kiddo…" The dealer throws the ball in the roulette.

"Uh, I don't think it was a good idea to bet all your money." Cloud brought up knowing full well Corrin wasn't listening and wouldn't be able to take it back anyway.

"Yeah. There's a one in one hundred chance that you might win dear." Bayonetta added.

The ball landed on twenty black. Bayonetta and Cloud mouths opened a gaped. A bunch of people surrounded the table to witness a child winning a luck based game on his first try. The dealer looked in shocked. "Y-You...Y-You won."

"Hey! I did it! Cere! Cloud! Look! I won!" Corrin cheered.

"How...did he?" Bayonetta asked.

"What the actual fuck?! Corrin, how did you win?!" Cloud asked.

Corrin shrugged. "I don't know. I just picked my lucky number. I want to go again. All my chips on the same number."

The dealer looked at Corrin like he was crazy. "You can't be serious kid. Alright, whatever you say." The dealer threw the ball in the roulette.

"Corrin there's no way the same thing is going to happen twice. You just got lucky that time. What are the chances that you're going to win again?" Cloud asked him trying to stop Corrin from losing it all.

The ball landed on twenty one black again. All the people around the roulette gasped. They all started to clap and cheer for Corrin.

"I win!" Corrin raised his fist in the air.

Cloud stood there in disbelief. "H-How!? This kid is winning thousands of dollars without even noticing it."

Bayonetta giggled. "With all the luck Corrin has, I think good luck has come my way as well."

Corrin walked towards Bayonetta and Cloud with two bags of money in his hand. "Hey! They gave me a bag with all the money I won. What should we play now?"

"I'm up for some good ol' slot machines. How about you Cloudy?" Bayonetta asked.

"Fine…if I can win at some of these games."

"Oh come now, I'm sure your luck is just as good as Corrin's."


The three friends were now playing at the slot machines. Bayonetta was watching Cloud lose his fifteenth straight game. Cloud facepalms and shakes his head.

"I take it back. You're the unluckiest person I know." Bayonetta chuckled.

"You know, you don't have to rub it in." Cloud said feeling salty at his losing streak.

"Hey, no need to get grumpy. Why don't you be a little more cheery like Corrin?"

"You mean the kid who's been getting lucky sevens every pull?!" Cloud pointed at Corrin.

Corrin was on his twentieth try on the slot machine. There were a lot of people behind Corrin watching the slot machine spin. Corrin gets three lucky sevens again. Corrin jumped for joy and everyone else cheered for him. Everyone gave him a pat on the back and ruffled his hair.

"Yeah…quit being a stick in the mud." Bayonetta told him.

"Sorry. I'm not the one winning thousands of dollars right now. I feel like if we did Chocobo racing, Corrin would win because...he's Corrin." Cloud said.

"That's my dragon for you. Amazing isn't he?" Bayonetta smirked.

"Yeah…whatever. Let's play something else."


The trio were now at a blackjack table. Corrin was sitting down with three other contestants while Bayonetta and Cloud were standing behind him. The dealer gave everyone two cards. Corrin bets all of his chips while the others were trying to bet their chips sparingly.

"Do you even know how to play this game?" Cloud asked.

"Nope." Corrin shook his head.

Corrin looked at his two cards. He had a nine and a ten card. Corrin looked at everyone else who were calling for more cards. "Okay, I have to get twenty one. I have a nine and a ten. Hmm...what's nine plus ten again? Uh oh. I have no time to count. I have to turn my card." Corrin thought.

"Nine plus ten is twenty one!" Corrin yelled.

Everyone gave Corrin a confused stare. Everyone stared at Corrin in complete silence.

"Did Corrin mention anything about not knowing basic math to you?" Cloud asked Bayonetta.

"No...I didn't know that myself…" Bayonetta mumbled. She really hoped he was having a brain fart. If he didn't know math…there was going to be some issues in the future.

"Well kid...you're definitely wrong. However, you're the only who didn't go over twenty one so you win...again. Just take all our money while you're at it kid." The dealer said.

"Yay, I did it!" Corrin raised his fist in the air. Everyone started to cheer for Corrin.

"Is Corrin just born with the luck of the gods? I mean seriously, what the hell?! I lose my money and Corrin is going to end up buying the casino at this rate!" Cloud shouted.

"Feeling jealous Cloudy?" Bayonetta smirked.

"No. However, I think you should go over there and get your boyfriend away from those playboy bunnies." Cloud pointed over to Corrin who had two playboy bunny girls wrapped around his arms.

Bayonetta's eye started to twitch as she clenched her fists. It was funny how at the beginning, she didn't really mind much when Corrin was getting attention from other people. Like Camilla was obnoxious but that was still Corrin's sister. She didn't need some random hoes going up to her boyfriend now when she was right there.

"Excuse me for a bit Cloud." Bayonetta started to walk towards Corrin.

Corrin was blushing from the two playboy bunnies' big breast pressing up against him.

"Wow, you're so good at gambling. How do you do it?" One girl asked.

"I-I don't know. I just...play I guess." Corrin said.

"Oh! He's so dreamy! Can you treat us ladies some drinks?" The other girl asked.

"U-Uh...I-I guess..."

Bayonetta tapped on the two bunny girl's shoulders. Corrin turned around and jumped in fear feeling a really ominous aura coming from the Umbra Witch. It was as dangerous as the time she went into the Underworld to save him, but it was worse this time.

"Excuse me ladies, I have a little bit of a problem outside. You think you can help me?" Bayonetta asked.

"Sure." The two bunny girls answered. They got up and followed Bayonetta outside of the casino.

Cloud looked at Bayonetta taking the two bunny girls outside. "I'm slightly worried about what she'll do to those girls. Something tells me we're not seeing those two again…"

Corrin sighed as he slowly got up from the blackjack table. He had a bad feeling that Bayonetta was going to do something bad. He wouldn't be able to leave and check up on her because a large muscular man came up to Corrin with a very angry expression.

"Hey wise guy! How are you winning all of these games? There's no way some kid is able to win all these games on his first try. Did you pay these dealers to let you win?" The guy asked as he stared the dragon prince down.

"N-No. I-I just..."

The guy grabbed Corrin by collar and lifted him up in the air. The dragon prince shrieked at his feet being removed from the ground. His expression turned to that of fear realizing he couldn't get away without starting a fight.

"I smell a cheater. I hate cheaters! If you think you're going to run away with all that, you've got another thing coming. I'm going to teach you a lesson!" The guy raised his fist in the air.

Cloud looked turned to see the guy holding Corrin in the air getting ready to punch him. Cloud growled and quickly ran over to Corrin. Cloud pushed the guy causing him to drop Corrin.

"You get your hands off of Corrin right now!" Cloud spat as he took a defensive stance in front of the dragon prince.

"Back off! This is between him and me!" The guy yelled.

"No, this is involves me now. When you mess with Corrin, you mess with me!"

"You mess with me as well." Bayonetta said coming back from outside. "Do we have a problem sir?"

"This guy is accusing Corrin of cheating. He was about to punch him too." Cloud told her rather quickly. He was this close to actually removing the buster sword from his back if things got out of hand.

"Really now? I don't take too kindly to that. Well sir, if you have a problem. Why don't we just talk it out nicely? Let's talk in private outside." Bayonetta started walking back outside with the guy following behind her. If anyone was paying attention, one could see that she was pointing her pistol to his back as if forcing him to go with her instead of trying to resolve this peacefully.

"You okay Corrin?" Cloud asked.

"Y-Yeah…where's Cere taking that man?"

"Don't worry about it. You won't have to worry about him anymore." Cloud stated as he patted Corrin on the back. Corrin was very confused with the way Cloud worded it. He wasn't aware that someone was screaming outside, but it was difficult to tell with the crowd around them.


The trio was now sitting in the lounge area of the large casino they were at. This was farther away from people seeing as how many of them were still gambling, but it was near the bar, so Cloud or Bayonetta could get up and buy a drink and return. The trio sat on the couch that was in the lounge together. You would think it would be the three of them talking about the money Corrin won or asking what Bayonetta did to those unfortunate humans. What ended up happening was the ex-SOLDIER becoming a third wheel to Corrin and Bayonetta.

Cloud was sitting with a bored expression on his face. He had a beer in his hand. He glanced at Bayonetta and Corrin. Corrin was sitting on Bayonetta's lap while Bayonetta was flirting and teasing him. Cloud rolled his eyes at the couple and took a sip of his beer.

"Corrin, you are just the cutest person in the world. You know that darling?" Bayonetta caressed Corrin's face. She was tempted to stroke at his ear in public but she held back. She didn't want anyone to hear Corrin's adorable moans.

"C-Cere. Well, you know there aren't any other women as beautiful as you are. I love spending time with you." Corrin praised while smiling shyly.

For a moment, Corrin had pushed a little too far when he said that. Bayonetta wondered if it was intentional or not. The Nohrian prince wasn't a pervert, but the look he was giving her was too much to ignore.

"So do I…you want to know what my favorite thing to do with you is?" Bayonetta asked with a rather perverted smirked.

"W-What?" Corrin asked as his cheeks turned a bright red blushed.

"Tasting your lips." Bayonetta teased as she pressed her lips on Corrin's.

Cloud shook his head and took another drink of his beer. "Ugh…just great. I have to sit here and watch these two suck each other's faces off for hours on end."

Bayonetta stop kissing Corrin when she noticed he was starting to get bolder with her. He let out a small whine as their lips parted ways. "I'll be right back darling. I'm going to get us more drinks. You two better not have fun without me now." Bayonetta got up and started heading for the bar.

Now that Bayonetta was gone, the two could have some quiet time together before the Umbra Witch came back and went back to the make out session. Cloud let out another sigh realizing how he should have seen this coming from miles away.

"Hey Cloud, are you alright?" Corrin asked.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah I'm fine Corrin. What do you need?"

"I-I just wanted to say thank you for saving me earlier. You're a really good friend." Corrin gave him a cute smile after saying that. It made Cloud give a smile back which surprised the younger male.

"It's no problem Corrin. That guy was a sore loser anyway." Cloud would never admit that not too long ago, Cloud was equally salty for losing most of his money. Even now, he would still have to pay for both of them even though Corrin was carrying a bank with him. "…You know, to be honest. All the time I've been spending with you, I slowly started to see you as my little brother. You're a really good friend also Corrin. One of the most cheerful and optimistic people I've ever met. I'm happy that I do have you as sort of like a younger brother."

This really came out of nowhere. What was Cloud thinking? He would probably blame the beer later for being more open on what he felt about toward the younger Smasher. Corrin's eyes sparkled at the compliment. He was smiling more brightly than when he won at the casino.

"Thanks Cloud, that means a lot!" Corrin exclaimed. "You know what I've always found funny? Cere was always seen as the strongest fighter, but you were the one winning most of the tournaments. You also just recently won a major tournament. How come you don't talk about your winnings?"

"I'm not one to brag about my wins. I came here to fight and show my skills, and I do just that. I don't think it's a big deal really." Cloud shrugged.

"Are you kidding?! You're an amazing fighter Cloud!"

"Thanks."

There was an awkward silence that would follow afterward. Cloud really needed to work on his communication skills. This just wasn't cutting it. Corrin saved him though with another question.

"Hey Cloud, you mind if I ask you something?"

"Hmm?"

"Have you ever...found your special someone? I'm sorry if it's personal, but every time I'm with Cere…you seem to look a little down."

"Nah, its fine Corrin. I...used to have feelings for someone back in my world. I just could never admit those feelings to her. I…didn't really have the courage to." Cloud didn't want to go into any real details with his relationship with Tifa especially if it concerned the time when they had sex.

"Aww, I'm sure things would've worked between you two. You're a great guy, Cloud."

Cloud didn't think that at all. If Corrin learned more about his past, the dragon prince would surely change his mind especially since Cloud had done questionable things that would clash with Corrin's fairy tale like morals.

"…I've been feeling a little worried about my sister."

"Hmm? What about Kamui?"

"I know she's not very happy about me dating Cere. It makes me sad because I know she'll never support our relationship in the long run unless I find a way to show that I can make this work. I tried to think of something that would get her mind off of me though…and it got me thinking that maybe if she found someone to love, she'll understand what I'm going through and be happy just like me. Sister wasn't really a fan of being in a relationship. She was always protecting me. I don't know who would be right for her. I wish she'd fine someone as cool as you are."

"...Yeah. As cool as I am...Corrin, what are Kamui's favorite flowers?" Cloud realized how odd it would be to ask out of the blue. Corrin wouldn't pressure him with a question on why, so he had to be quick on his explanation. "I'm just asking…"

"Sister really likes white lilies. I used to give them to her all the time when she was sad."

"I see. Thanks."

Bayonetta came back with a tray of drinks and set them on the table nearby. Bayonetta took a seat in between Corrin and Cloud. "So what did my two favorite boys do while I was gone?" Bayonetta gave Corrin a peck on the lips.

"N-Nothing much." Corrin blushed. Cloud rolled his eyes.

"Aww, feeling left out Cloudy? Don't worry, I love you too." Bayonetta kissed Corrin on the cheek.

Cloud blushed immediately at her proximity. He was going to blame her sudden affection toward him as her being a little drunk. Corrin didn't seem to mind too much though. "D-Don't do that in front of your boyfriend!"

"He doesn't mind too much. Right Corrin?"

Corrin just giggled as a response. Cloud's face was as red as a tomato now as he pushed the Umbra Witch away.

"Geez you're annoying..."

Bayonetta looked hurt when he said that. Cloud didn't take it too seriously. She would probably guilt trip him and force him to give her a half-ass apology for not treating her the right way. To his surprise (along with Corrin), the two found themselves in a sudden bear hug. Cloud could have sworn there was some gravitational force that pulled him toward the Umbra Witch and prevented him from leaving her side. When the blond turned to complain to the Umbra Witch, he noticed for a moment there was a rather serious expression on her face before it turned back into her normal, teasing self.

"I love you both. You two are the best friends a witch could ask for…"

Cloud knew that the alcohol was getting to Bayonetta at this point. There was no way she would be this vocal about her affections to them. Cloud didn't think it was even possible to be that close to her even as a friend. Corrin was one thing, but him?

"I love you too Cere!" Corrin proclaimed as he hugged her back. He didn't even seem to think about why Bayonetta would say this out of the blue. He might have been that oblivious to the situation at hand and how the two older Smashers were spilling some truths toward him. "I love you too Cloud! You're the best thing to happen to me at the mansion!"

Cloud let out an exaggerated sigh at this point. If his face turned any redder, they would think he was running a fever. He should have been use to people who were more open with their emotions. He was reminded back at home how he needed to be more open to others if he wanted to make new friends. He couldn't stay anti-social forever. However…

"Yeah…whatever." The ex-SOLDIER murmured as he returned the hug his friends was giving him. He was still trying to keep his embarrassment in check, but it was futile at this point. At the very least, Cloud was able to hide his smile. It did feel nice to know that Bayonetta did treasure him despite all the problems they had in the past. He would make sure to keep that he would do his best to remind her when she was more sober that he would attempt to do better in maintaining their odd friendship.
