As Elisa Maza walked up a set of stairs to the clock tower above her station she looked over her shoulders to make sure no one was following, and then proceeded on up. Once up the stairs she froze and stared with her mouth agape at a tall imposing woman who was standing with her hips tilted slightly. Elisa took a deep breath and smiled. "Hey, you lost ma'am?"
"Oh no darling, I'm just waiting to meet with the Gargoyles." Bayonetta looked over her shoulder and raised an eyebrow. "Surprised your secret hasn't been found out during all this time. No janitors come up here at all? No one but you? Really?" Bayonetta looked back to the door that led out onto the outside of the clock tower. "I heard the big one is Goliath. Shouldn't take too long to talk with him."
Elisa slowly walked up behind the woman, her hand easing towards her gun. "Well, you certainly know a lot about us here. What bring you here anyway ma'am?"
"Stop calling me ma'am. Do I look like a ma'am to you?" Bayonetta turned about on her heels and adjusted her glasses as she looked Elisa over. Her eye stopped where Elisa was reaching for her gun. Rolling her eyes she summoned her own and shot at Elisa's feet making her topple over. "Please don't pull that sorry excuse for a weapon out against me. Its just so sad." Bayonetta turned about and began walking towards the door.
"Hey! Hold it!" Elisa got to her feet and grabbed Bayonetta by the arm, but before she could throw her over her shoulder Bayonetta did the exact thing to her. As she hit the door to outside Elisa's body opened it and revealed the sun quickly setting.
"Ooo~ seems its almost time for your boyfriend's interview." Bayonetta walked over Elisa who was still recovering from the sudden throw she experienced. Bayonetta looked from gargoyle to gargoyle till she stopped at the biggest one with long hair. As the statue began to crack Bayonetta adjusted her glasses again and smiled as she watched the Gargoyles shed their stone skin.
As the Gargoyles turned about they saw Bayonetta and then Elisa getting herself off the ground. Goliath took on a defensive stance and leered at Bayonetta. "Who are you? Elisa do you know this woman?"
Before Elisa could respond Bayonetta stepped forward and draped Goliath's arm around her. "Of course not my dear, I'm just here for a quick tick of the clock. Now mind telling me how to get to Avalon?"
"I... uh... what?" Goliath took his arm away from the woman and stepped back.
"Sorry guys... couldn't keep her out." Elisa got to her feet and held out her gun, "Okay lady. Who are you?"
"Bayonetta if you please." The woman lifted up her legs and a shot rang out, and Elisa's gun went flying from her hands. Bayonetta lowered her legs and smiled suggestively at Goliath. "Now, about Avalon?"
"You may want to take a few steps back lass." Hudson stepped towards Bayonetta with his dagger drawn, his eyes kept looking her over. "You may end up having more trouble then you bargained for." As he said this the other gargoyles began to converge around her, Bronx growling menacingly at her.
"Ooo, puppy." Bayonetta rolled her eyes and glared at Goliath.
"What makes you want to go to Avalon Miss?" Goliath said with a low growl in his voice.
"To kill Oberon of course." Bayonetta shrugged her shoulders and laughed.
Goliath was taken aback and then looked over to the others who looked just as surprised.
"You... gonna kill Oberon? Kind of the third race?" Brooklyn covered his forehead and scoffed. "You and what army lady?"
"Me and this army." Bayonetta did a twirl and motioned her hands over her whole body, suggestively swaying about. "I assure you, I'm no slouch when it comes to god killing." Bayonetta stepped towards Goliath and grabbed his hair. "Now one more time, nicely, how do I get to Avalon."
"I'm afraid I can't just give you that information." Goliath smacked Bayonetta's hand away and in the next moment he had a gun pointed at his face. He glared at her and let out another growl.
"Nice time over." Bayonetta then did a swift drop kick, to which Goliath dodged and lunged at her, sending the two crashing through the glass of the clock tower. The others all went running inside and found the two of them grappling with one another, Bayonetta now having Goliath in a headlock and flipping him over her back.
"No you don't!" Lexington quickly leaped over and grabbed her arms, but to his surprise he wasn't able to bind her. Her strength was far more then he expected and found himself careening into Goliath on the ground.
"Just tell me how to get to the island and I'll be on my way!" Bayonetta smiled pointed her gun over shoulder and shot at the others coming at her. Broadway let out a cry as one of the bullets shot through his wing.
"This lady is nuts!" Broadway shouted as everyone stood around her anxiously. Broadway glared at the gun and scoffed. "Of course she uses guns..."
"If you want to know how to get to Avalon, you'll have to figure it out yourself! You can reach it by any body of water, but..." Goliath held his head and strained his eyes. "...I have forgotten the incantation that brings you there." Shaking his head he groaned. "But even if I remembered I wouldn't tell you!"
"Wha? What?!" Bayonetta groaned and slumped her shoulders. "Damn it, this means I'm gonna have to work harder on this aren't I..." Bayonetta turned her back on Goliath and took out her watch. Opening it up she checked the time and rolled her eyes. "Well this was pointless. Looks like I'm going to have to interrogate that little man back at Xanatos'"
"Xanatos?!" Goliath let out a roar and clenched his fists. "He is the one behind this?!"
Bayonetta looked over at Goliath nonchalantly and lowered her glasses as she stared at him. "He said you'd do something like that. Go give him some hell, he certainly made this more annoying then it had to be." Bayonetta brought her glasses back into place and looked at the gargoyles that were all around her just glaring. "What?"
"You interrogated us, it is now our turn to ask the questions." Goliath loomed over Bayonetta who just raised an eyebrow and made him hunch down by placing a hand on his head.
"Xanatos hired me to kill Oberon as revenge for the attempted kidnapping of his brat, he sent me to you since you've been to Avalon before. Now I'm going to have to head back and pull the information out of the little elf Xanatos keeps with him. Ciao." Bayonetta flipped her hair in Goliath's face and walked past the others who quickly stepped in front of her. "Oh come on, I'm a busy woman." Bayonetta rolled her eyes again and flipped over the gargoyles and headed on out of the clock tower. "I'm sure we'll see each other again back there with Xanatos." She then jumped off the building and to everyone's surprise she sprouted wings and flew off.
