Chapter 7: Muse and A-RISE – Taking a step in badass!

Gates of Hell

"So, wanting to set up shop in Vigrid again, huh?" Bayonetta greeted Rodin.

"Heh, might as well; just wanting to see my handiworks in action, that's all!" Rodin grinned.

"I am not in the slightest bit interested that you made those guns – they are a means to an end for me, after all!" Bayonetta boasted. "Those respected figures on the other hand…may use some help of yours!"

"Oh?" Rodin raised his sunglasses in amusement.

The girls shivered in intimidation, their legs becoming jelly at the sight of the most powerful blacksmith ever; even the usually cheeky A-RISE members shivered at the sight of the bald-headed, sunglasses wearing baritonian.

The Infinite One

RODIN

"Woah…are you really that scared of Rodin? Relax…he's not as intimidating as he used to be once you get to know him!" Bayonetta chuckled.

"W…Wha? But that's only because you kicked his ass about a THOUSAND TIMES FLAWLESSLY!" Nico shot back.

"Chillax, ladies." Rodin raised his hands up high. "It's not like I am gonna bite into ya souls, ya dig?"

"Well…well…he's pretty intimidating alright." Tsubasa reckoned. "Given he's 'The Infinite One'."

"So what even I have the name? Titles are just titles now, nothing really matters in the grand scheme of things, as long as halos come my way and I have plenty of work to get down to craft art, that's all I ever need!" Rodin grinned.

"Yeah, still, you haven't introduced this place properly to the ladies, that ain't a respectful way, wouldn't it?" Bayonetta smirked.

"Ha. Welcome to the Gates of Hell. We've lit our prices on fire, so there's won't be Hell to pay…" Rodin grinned while smoking a cigar.

Almost instantly, Muse and A-RISE got over their intimidation and looked at the blacksmith with a disinterested face and a huge drop of sweat upon their foreheads.

"Really? Lit on fire? Hell to pay? Really?" Maki face palmed.

"C'mon, I gotta say some cheesy shit sometimes, ya dig?" Rodin grunted.

"Yeah…I guess so." Maki rolled her eyes. "Still…that was quite some way to break the ice."

"Haha, that's the way to get over intimidation lady." Rodin gave a thumb up. "I gotta give you that, kudos."

"Wait…what's the joke?" Nico wondered.

"Dante Alleghieri's 'The Divine Comedy'." Maki sighed as she managed to get over Rodin's intimidation, if only slightly. "When Rodin was defeated through dishonorable means according Antonio's Notebook, he was said to be sealed inside a block of ice and sent down to Inferno, get it?"

"Break the ice…OH!" Honoka's light bulb lit up.

"Rodin, those ladies here needed some form of protection upon their own; they did mention that they can't just rely on me and Jeanne all the time, they were afraid they would drag me down." Bayonetta explained calmly. "Though I think having them around is already good enough to accompany me on the journey, they still think that way."

"Heh! I would have known it will be a matter of time before someone wants me to craft some weapons for them!" Rodin grinned."

"W…Wait." Maki asked. "According to the Notebook, you would only agree to craft weapons for free if said person or team are worthy enough…"

"The fact that you all contributed into standing up against the universal Hatred – Fernir – back after your Sunny Day Song PV performance, as human beings, is good enough, no?" Rodin replied calmly.

"We…we never believed we would have such honor, The Infinite One." Umi blushed shyly.

"I have always recognize humanity's potential to be strong, which is why I rebelled against the forces of Paradiso back ye olden days." Rodin smiled. "And you all just prove that; so of course I am gonna give my finest product to you all too – thought that would require some…exchanges."

"W…Wait, wouldn't that means 'making a deal with the devil'?" Hanayo stammered.

"I would presume it's in Paradiso's perspective." Umi concluded.

"Why?" the rest wondered.

"Think about it, what does a usual devil connotates?" Umi asked.

"Something, or someone, that rebels the forces of good?" Erena wondered.

Umi nodded. "Or at least, in Paradiso's twisted eyes, they think they are the forces of good and were doing Humanity a favor by 'resetting the world' through destruction. So, when Rodin rebelled, Paradiso casted him as 'The Devil' because he is 'evil' in their perspective."

"Oh…" the rest nodded.

"Heh!" Rodin grinned. "I always know that humans have a knack for intelligence! Kudos to you Umi."

"Umi, Umi Sonoda." The blue hair maiden nodded and simpered shyly, regaining her composure swiftly after her initial intimidated expression. "Though…what exchanges are you talking about?"

Rodin explained it to them his 'plans'.

"You see, I always used Angelic Hymn Golden LPs to lure out some of hell's uglies." Rodin explained.

"Angelic Hymn Goden LPs?" the rest wondered.

"Yup!" Special records of music containing the crystallized voices of angels; they are especially rare." Rodin nodded.

"So…what has the LPs got to do with the plans you are having?" Erena wondered.

"You see, they have a purpose; one hits them hell uglies' ears, and a damn who's who of Inferno comes pouring out of the inner circles. Then I can use them to breathe life into what I make best – my artful works, or rather, weapons of mass destruction." Rodin grunted.

"So that's how you craft those weapons…" Maki nodded slowly. "Although…Weapons of Mass Destruction…that's kinda scary…"

"Haha…it's just a term I used for weapons that are insanely powerful, get it?" Rodin grinned.

"If we would gander a guess…you mean you mean you wanna use our voices…to make counterparts to the Angelic Golden Hymn LPs? Really?" Honoka's eyes widened.

"Your voices are able to keep the manifested misguided Hatred towards Idol Culture in bay, so I reckon that with a little bit of magic from me, I will be able to turn them into weapons of destructions for you all to use!" Rodin grinned.

"Turning our voices into weapons of mass destruction…" Umi frowned at the ethical dubiousness. "I don't think we can actually buy it, mister. I mean…in the end of the day, we sing because we love being School Idols - the fans we met, the friends we earned, and we love to create happy memories while enjoying the challenge of rising up to the top overall – not because we want to create weapons that has the potential to kill innocent beings…"

"Ah, I get your thinking lady." Rodin apologized. "I should have said 'Weapons of Self Defense' to make it a bit less harsh. Still, it's the same – the angels are coming about to attack you all; you all did say that you can't always rely on Bayonetta and Jeanne to cover up your butts for ya, less you become burdens to them, right?"

The rest glared at Rodin.

"We still have standards, mind you." Umi sighed.

"Chill, ya women." Rodin sighed. "What I mean is that I use your voices to lure the demons, beat them down, and use the demons essence into weapons to use, not your voices into weapons themselves! "

"Oh…" Umi sheepishly blushed. "Whoops…"

"Ha. I take no offence to that, lady." Rodin grinned. "In fact, I admire that you are able to stand up to me and saying that your voices shouldn't be turned into something that hurts innocent beings! I like that; people who ain't like you all are what's happening to the music industry these days – mass produced bullcrap, instead of treasuring music as something unique!"

"T…Thank you, Rodin." Umi bowed. "And we're sorry if we misunderstood your message. Still…using our voices to lure Demons out for the sake of pummeling them and absorbing their essence into weapons we can use…is a daunting task for self-defense, if you ask me."

"Oh ho, don't worry; I ain't the most famous Blacksmith recognized in both Inferno and Paradiso for nothing!" Rodin grinned. "Compared to Bayonetta's weapons, they will be weapons that are specifically custom made for each and every one of you humans to use. Just focus on your journey with Bayonetta, and of course, knocking that Chris-sensei of yours back to her senses! I am sure those Angels she brainwashed will need some tender, loving, and utmost care as you plough through them arse."

Team Muse and A-RISE brightened up and nodded in return, but Tsubasa still casted her doubts.

"Can Rodin really do that?" Tsubasa's eyes widened in curiosity; such powers had to be seen to be believed, after all. "I mean…don't get me wrong, earning the title of 'The Infinite One' is awe-inspiring and all, but as Rodin said…titles are just titles…"

"Of course!" Bayonetta grinned.

Using A-RISE's recordings of 'Shocking Party' and Muse's 'Angelic Angel', Rodin summoned a huge crimson portal and teleported out of the bar for a moment. "Watch this space, Tsubasa. Ta-ta!"

"So…let's take a gander at what kinds of weapons you are gonna get!" Bayonetta winked.

"It is going to be a nervous experience though…trying out weapons for self-defense…wow…" Umi took a deep breath and tried to focus. "I mean it sure is going to be exciting and all…but weapons…they are going to be a bit scary to operate."

"It will be scary for human beings, I will give you that." Bayonetta simpered. "But I just treat them as toys to play with; to me, they are just tools – a means to an end for me! Though I can get what you are coming from Umi."

"Huh?"

"You treat weapons as an extension to yourself; an extension to your heart, mind, and soul. Not saying that is wrong; maybe there are different ways we all approach weapon philosophy – there's no right or wrong answer, only respect for said philosophies alone." Bayonetta simpered.

Umi gave a soft smile. "Thank you for respecting my beliefs…Bayonetta."

"Like Honoka, I am confident that you and Kotori will soar, that's for sure!" Bayonetta grinned.

"Maybe mine's gonna be a pair of cat claws, nya!" Rin purred.

"We may never know what we may get – it's like a box chocolates; a box of surprising flavors waiting in store!" Anjou simpered.

"Wielding weapons for the first time…I know this world is slowly becoming a place where Adventurers Guild is a thing now, but to hold weapons for the first time, it's still an exciting prospect!" Honoka gave a big smile.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, a huge red portal appeared behind the wine counter, and out pops Rodin crashing down the floor – his head and coat all bloodied and was breathing heavily – exhausted.

Both Muse and A-RISE members' went wide eyes with shock upon seeing the Infinite One being bloodied up.

"R…Rodin-san, are you alright?!" Honoka shot out in concern.

"Never had one fight me this far before!" Rodin panted, seemingly satisfied with the fight. "Ah…what the hell, you never know if you'll ever see something like this again. But that's what you get…"

Rodin then materialized twelve different globes which transformed into twelve different arrays of weapons!

He then continued, "With a weapon as peerless as the ones you seen in front of your eyes!" he boasted, just as he gazed upon the surprised, widened eyes and gaped mouth of Muse and A-RISE – Honoka and Nico in particular, who widened their mouth agape.

"What? Never seen a man go mano e mano with a proper demon? Or demons, for that matter?"

Bayonetta gave a calm smirk. "I think they are more surprised that you are able to do this in your 'Depowered' state – without your Platinum Ticket to restore your original form."

Minutes of calming down later…

"Wow…" Honoka's eyes widened in amazement as she softly caressed her own set of weapons presented in front of her.

The weapons were a pair of silver gauntlets with pinkish hues surrounding the weapon. Honoka could even feel intense power pulsating and coursing through her very veins like a living human's heart; for powers like those are hard to come by.

Honoka's Accquired weapon

Gauntlets of Passion, Swords of Flight – XOCHIPHILLI

"Su…Su…Such powers beyond belief…how is this possible? It can't be!" Honoka gasped.

"Heh…but it happened!" Rodin grinned, pleased with his handiwork.

The semi-sentient gauntlets swiftly danced around midair with grace and fervor, soon attached themselves upon Honoka's limbs and embedded deep into Honoka's shoulders.

Honoka at first winced in pain, but her eyes soon opened up and glowed as immense powers soon coursed through her veins; her back sprouting a pair of wings made out of immense arcane energies – swords of highly concentrated dark and light energies.

Rodin nodded and grinned, pleased with the development.

"I can feel it…the warmth…the passion of soaring to reach my dreams…those familiar feelings within this weapons…like as if they are a part of me! Yeah!" Honoka grinned.

Umi's Accquired Weapon

The Vast Oceanic Bow - SUIJIN

"Someone once said before…victory in battle is 50% weapon, and 50% user's knowledge. To think such craftsmanship exists…I guess I can see why Bayonetta's weapon contributed hand in hand with the Umbran Phenomenon herself into defeating Alraune…" Umi's eyes widened in amazement at the soft, yet reassuring glow emanated from a bow with dragon-theme motifs.

The bow slowly presented itself towards Umi, whereby the blue hair maiden grabbed it by the lower limb and feels the calm and soothing energy of the ocean coursing through her very veins.

"Amazing…"

Kotori's weapon

Harp of the Earth – JORO

With a strum of the harp's strings, its melodious notes rang softly towards Kotori as she felt immense powers surging her body.

The Harp, upon closer inspection, crackled with demonic energy as swirls of rock, ice, dirt, and earth swirled around said harp in as multiple rings of alluring beauty – as if they were rings dancing around the planet Saturn themselves.

Its harmonic curves were decorated with Inferno's finest diamonds; its strings silky, smooth, and imbued with an extremely powerful demonic essence inside; and body wrapped around in wings made of black and white, with rigged patterns and white, and silky roses decorating offering a nice contrast upon the weapon itself.

Despite being demonic in demeanor, the weapon's aura imbued itself upon Kotori in genuine warm; a reassurance that it will do whatever it takes to protect its owner from absolute harm.

"I'm so fortunate in bathing in this light!" Kotori gave a bright smile.

Nozomi's weapon

The Mallet of Fortune - FORTUNA

"My, my…" Nozomi's eyes widened upon viewing her weapon – a mallet filled with intricate mechanized gears, levers, cylinders, and pipes constructed into a clockwork beauty. Golden rings wrapped around the hammer's body as it crackled with electricity, and its hammer face was imbued with the Japanese symbol of Heaven.

Maki's weapon

Grimoire of the Secret Butterfly – PSYCHE

"A Grimoire…huh?" Maki blushed lightly upon feeling the immense power said weapon possessed. "I have to admit…it's not like I am underestimating Rodin's power to craft it but…to craft weapons like this? To think weapons like these exist…"

Nico's weapon

Orbs of Smiles – EUPHROSYNE

Nine orbs of light, fire, and ice began swirling slowly around the black hair idol herself, surrounding her and imbuing her with immense warmth that brought a smile upon her face.

"Well…I gotta admit, certainly does put a smile to my face!" Nico grinned. "Nico nico nii!"

Eli Ayase's Weapon

Passionate Skates and Fans of Electrical Passion – TERPSICHORE

Eli's eyes widened in awe upon surveying the skates and the traditional fan as her palms felt the pulsating power, waiting to be unlocked for Eli's service.

"Wow…this looks like something a dancer wishes to have…" Eli reckoned.

The traditional looking fan unfurled itself, containing a painting of a branch that had petals and electrical surges coursing through its weapon's body.

"Sweet…" Eli simpered.

Rin Hoshizora's weapon

Claws of Beauty – BENZAI-TEN

"So cute…so beautiful!" Rin squealed.

The katars, presented right in front of her, glowed golden as Inferno's jewels embedded upon the silvery ornate claws. Two small rings of fluffy furs wrapped around the claws, emanating warm energies upon contact. Two furry, cute looking neko-ears materialized themselves, pulsating large amounts of arcane energy – fire.

Upon attaching themselves on Rin, a pair of ethereal cat ears sprouted from Rin's head, and a long tail made out of fiery energy sprouted from Rin's behind. A pair of flowery peonies headpiece covered the side of her ears like headphones, glowing with immense energy.

"It's wonderful, nya!" Rin grinned.

Hanayo Koizumi's weapon

Staff of Harvest and Prosperity – FERONIA

Upon gazing at the staff, Hanayo's eyes widened with awe; expected from someone who had been bestowed with abilities so great.

The staff might seem like it had a long, wooden hilt, but intricate tattoos containing arcane energy suggested otherwise. Vines wrapped around the hilt, glowing with warmth as it connected itself into a huge pink blooming peony, emanating warmth and the smell of spring.

"It's…it's wonderful…" A soft, warm smile crept across Hanayo's face, her eyes gazed upon the staff – its energy strong, yet gentle and reassuring, like Mother's Earth warm embrace.

Tsubasa's weapon

Revolvers of Passion – VENUS

A pair of heavily customized hammer action Colt Magnum revolvers presented themselves in front of Tsubasa, who looked upon it in abject awe.

The Colt Magnums had silvery black highlights encasing around its black body, its cylinders glowed red with intense passion and energy, and upon the revolvers' bottom lies a pair of hearts. Its barrels are large, enough to swallow a large hornet whole and its highlights upon the trigger, and body exquisite.

"Jeezsus…" Tsubasa's smile crept on her face. "To think such powers exist…you sure do live up to your name, The Infinite One."

"Heh! That's just only a few that I can conjure up with! I have plenty more in stock!" Rodin grinned.

"Well…it certainly says magnitude about how powerful you are, despite getting your ass kicked by Bayonetta a thousand times; then again…she's already way powerful on her own!" Tsubasa chuckled. "Still…such power…"

"I made them just so that it can work in tandem with a certain member with Muse so that it complements said weapon well! I am sure you know who I am talking about." Rodin grunted.

Tsubasa gasped lightly as she gazed upon Honoka, who blushed lightly and nodded firmly while smiling.

"We can do this!" Honoka nodded.

Tsubasa's eyes widened as she turned away swiftly, her face went beetroot red from the heat; much to Rodin's amusement.

Anju's weapon

Shotgun of Necessity – ANANKE

Erena's weapon

Katana of Growth, Grace, and Maturity - MAIA

"I would say…never expect weapon crafting to be a form of art, consider me impressed!" Erena simpered.

"A shotgun? Well, 's gonna be a pleasure working with weapons that slay those angels in my book…they looked really ugly in my book!" Anju simpered. "Especially with Erena around!"

"Erena chuckled softly. "You gotta admit, that weapon of yours is pretty exquisite!"

"Of that I am certain." Anju simpered.

Bayonetta, Jeanne, and Rodin nodded readily.

"It seems they are lock and loaded to be just as competent enough to survive!" Rodin grinned. "Those weapons have been crafted such that only they can use it – weapons that are operable within human means! So they should get loads of mileage out of those!"

"It's great to see them just as dependable as I am now." Bayonetta grinned. "That Chris is gonna have her work cut short; before she knows it, we are going to raise her tower to the ground."

Vigrid

Upon returning to the surface world, Bayonetta, Muse, and A-RISE wasted no time at all to travel past a hotel pathway with a peculiar block-shape door.

"Um…dead end?" Honoka wondered.

"Not quite." Bayonetta smirked as her suit's began undressing itself into just 'fabric' covering her middle areas.

The team heard a cranking noise from behind and saw that there were two statues depicting a Lumen Sage and an Umbran Witch raised by Madama Butterfly's arms.

"Got close to the Golem's door as fast as you can; you will need it." Bayonetta nodded as she began slicing the golem door open.

"It's only going to activate for just a few seconds, so we best hurry!" Maki, who knew about the Occult Device – Golem via Antonio's Notebook – shot out.

As soon as the occult door began dematerializing to open up, the idols began pushing themselves through to the other side!

"HIIIIIIIYAAAAAH!"

"OOOOAF!"

"Owww….my butt, nya!" Rin whimpered.

"Well…at least every one of us is through!" Tsubasa winced.

"Yeah, at the cost of what? Squashing each other like pancakes?" Nico puffed.

"Well that was good teamwork over here!" Bayonetta chuckled as she strolled over unscathed.

"Wait, you are here before we did?!" Anju gasped.

"Witch Time." Bayonetta simpered.

"Ah." Anju sheepishly chuckled.

"Well, I guess we were in the main part of Vigrid now…I reckoned that this place would have changed since Chris-sensei's usurped Vigrid; so the quickest way to Route 666 back then may not be the quickest way right now." Umi explained.

"She's right; a lot of things can change over the past one year or so." Jeanne agreed, so did Bayonetta.

"Let's ask around and see if there was anyone who knows the quickest way to Route 666 as soon as possible." Kotori suggested.

"Alright, Honoka, and Tsubasa will accompany Bayonetta. Rin and Hanayo can go south; Maki and Nico will go north, whereas Eli and Nozomi will go east. Jeanne, Kotori, and I will check out the south." Umi suggested.

"Right – Anju and I will go west." The purple hair maiden nodded.

"Right, let's split!" Umi nodded.

Just as the team began to split up, however, a huge burst of chilling wind blew over as several halos began to materialize from midair!

"Well, it seems we're greeted by some…unwelcome hosts!" Bayonetta gave a sly smile upon witnessing who said angels were.

Several medium sized angels which nearly looked like Affinities, only some with blue toga armor, and some with red toga armor descended from the skies. The blue angels wielded a big star-shaped staff, with the red angels wielded a pair of chain swords.

Third Sphere Archangels

APPLAUD A (RED) & B (BLUE)

Two large dogs-like angels with skin covered in liquid nitrogen, a large armored jaw with sharp teethes, and armored wings materialized themselves from the air too.

Second Sphere Virtues

FAIRNESS

"I swore that Fairnesses used to have fiery bodies and never ice to begin with…" Bayonetta wondered. "It must be Chris at work."

"Whatever that was, let's kick them assess!" Tsubasa grinned as she whipped out her Venus. "Honoka?"

The leader of Team Muse smiled confidently as she materialized her Xochiphilli Gauntlets and Greaves and materialized her sword-like wings behind her back.

Verse 1 – Tsubasa and Honoka start!

Verse 3 – Bayonetta start!

Honoka swiftly dashed ahead just as one of the Fairness attempted to swipe at her. However, the brunette grinned as she swiftly slide dashed underneath Fairness's belly, appeared on the other side, swiftly got up to her feet, grabbed its tail with both hands, and swing it around like a slingshot!

"YEEEEAAAAAH!" Honoka grinned, the Xochiphilli granting her superhuman strength unlike what she imagined, and swiftly threw the Fairness straight towards Tsubasa, who promptly unleashed several barrage of bullets shaped like multiple hearts towards the canine's armor!

"Nice throw, Honoka!" Tsubasa grinned and winked.

"Yeah! I got more tricks up my sleeves!" Honoka grinned as she smashed the Fairness's skull with a huge kick to its face, launched into a swift triple combo punch attack, and sent the canine-like angel high up the air with a huge twirling kick upon its jaws!

Honoka then spread out her sword-like wings, flew up to the skies, and then launched herself into a massive aerial kick angled downwards, followed by multiple swords that pierced through the Fairness and exploding upon its flesh!

Honoka swiftly cancelled her momentum by swiftly dashing towards the back, charged up immense amount of energy while Tsubasa peppered the Fairness with charged laser shots, the swiftly lunged towards the Fairness's armored mouth just as Honoka's Xochiphilli started glowing immensely like a star.

The ground beneath Honoka crackled into a huge quake as a huge burst of sword-like energy impaled through the canine-like angel and crackled through its icicle body.

Tsubasa then nodded towards Honoka, swiftly leapt off Honoka's back in an acrobatic leap, rose straight above the Fainress, entered a downwards vortex-spin, and rained hundreds of bullets concentrating towards the canine angel!

Honoka gasped in amazement at what she and did, as Tsubasa.

"Did…did my gauntlets just did that? That light bursting out of my gauntlets…is it a matter of timing?" she wondered.

"It seems so!" Tsubasa nodded and grinned. "And I still can't believe that those weapons allowed me to defy physics!"

"Our attacks really compliment well!" Honoka smiled brightly, growing more comfortable with her weapons.

A huge Fairness suddenly leapt towards them, assuming them to be unsuspected victims…

"Shall we save it for later?" Tsubasa blushed while smiling. "We got some bad dogs to teach' em a lesson with!"

Honoka nodded, grinned, and charged up her Xochiphilli's right greaves; Tsubasa's left Venus pistol began glowing red.

"EAT PEA!" both Tsubasa and Honoka launched into a huge pistol-whip and mega kick respectfully, sending the canine flying way towards Bayonetta, who promptly grabbed it by its tail!

"Let's spin its head right round like a record, baby!" Bayonetta grinned as she lassoed it around with her bare hands, striking past numerous Applaud A and Bs numerous times until she threw towards a role of unsuspecting angels themselves!

Honoka summoned fifteen swords from her 'wings', commanded them to encircle the surrounding Fairness that attempted to pick itself up. The brunette then commanded the swords to pierce the Fairness's broken armored body with no remorse, assaulting it with pure carnage through its body. Honoka then swiftly got up and close and personal to deliver swift punches and kicks that's truck upon the canine angel's spine and ribcages, and swiftly commanded the swords that pierced the Fairness's body to encase it in a huge rose-like cage!

"Tsubasa!" Honoka gazed towards her ally and nodded readily as both young women stand back to back with their hands raised – Honoka charging up her gauntlets full of arcane energy, and Tsubasa charging up her bullets with immense electrical energy.

"Rose bloom goes boom!"

Two arcane ranged shots blasted straight from their weapons, twirled around in a double-helix formation, the sped straight towards the rose-like prison and causing it to shatter in an immense explosion!

"Attack!"

Several Applaud Bs threatened to strike Bayonetta with a huge cleave of their staffs, but the Umbran Witch swiftly dodged out of harms, twisted around with her legs bending, and swiftly launched herself into a huge rising pirouette that summoned a large Madama Butterfly's Wicked Weave uppercut!

Bayonetta then swiftly twirled around to deliver numerous demonically charged aerial round house kicks towards several applauds, before kicking them straight with a giant horizontal Wicked Weave kick!

Bayonetta then swiftly unleashed an Umbran Spear to grab one Applaud B's legs, twirled it and slammed it on the ground, then proceeded to punish it by slamming its body repeatedly on the ground, then threw its wasted body like a bowling towards several Applaud A, who proceeded to shoot the Umbran Witch.

Bayonetta, however, activated her Bat Within, activated Witch Time on her will, unleashed a huge dash pistol whipping attack called Stiletto, flipped towards the air, switched up her Elfin Knight on her legs into a pair of Lt Col Kilgore, unleashed two large rockets that exploded, killed several Applauds, and threw the remaining one scattering over the battlefield!.

Bayonetta wasted no time to turn into a crow, swiftly dashed towards a group of thrown Affinities while still in Witch Time, conjured up an aura representing Godoka, drew out her Shuraba, brandished it several times, unleashed several sweeping slashes in between said brandishes, followed by numerous demonic jabs, then several swift rocket launcher kicks upon the Applauds' kisser.

The Umbran Witch than unleashed a multi-directional, Witch-Timed influenced slash attack, and swiftly ended off the combo with a short shout and a huge iaijutsu slash; the Applaud's body sliced apart as angelic blood began bursting out. Its death cried echoed the air, much to the delight of Bayonetta.

"It seems that Godoka and Homucifer's blessings have certainly brought Witch Time into unprecedented levels! Bloody amazing!" Bayonetta grinned.

To Tsubasa and Honoka's eyes, all they saw were just extensive punches, kicks, and sword slashes within just a second – much to their shock and awe.

"Is she stopping time? Or is she speeding up? Ow…it's so confusing as to the mechanics of Witch Time!" Honoka shook her head in confusion.

"It seems she's speeding up, but only because she's slowing down time in her own eyes, the rest of us – enemies included – perceived her as just going crazily fast." Tsubasa noted.

"Oh…" Honoka gasped.

Just before they could speak any further, another Fairness that had been surveying the battle surroundings for a while swiftly made a deceptively fast lunge towards Tsubasa and Honoka!

Tsubasa and Honoka's eyes widened in abject shock, but the canine-like angel was swiftly met by three speedy giant rockets upon its belly!

Bayonetta grinned as she winked and made a cocking action with her dual Lt Col Kilgore upon her legs. "Go get them critters; lest they bit you next time!"

Tsubasa and Honoka nodded and wasted no time to dash towards the fairness, with the former dashing in front of the latter to launch several arcane bullets straight towards the Fairness's mouth.

The bullets swiftly entered the Fairness's huge gaping mouth and the canine angel was soon electrocuted; the bullets exploded into fans of electricity that rippled through its flame-like body!

"Electric meets fire, straight up BOOM!" Tsubasa grinned.

Honoka leapt over Tsubasa, swiftly grabbed the stunned Fairness, grappled it close to her, spun around several times, and landed on the ground while crushing the canine's head upon the hard ground – breaking its armored jaws!

Honoka then swiftly did a super somersault to slam the Fairness down, then swiftly slammed the canine thrice, jumped into to the air throw it down so hard that it bounced up, swiftly dashed straight behind Fairness, then slammed the Fairness with a triple punch combo, ending off with a flurry of powerful kick thirteen times!

Within the last kick Honoka's right greaves shone so bright that when a huge blast of arcane energy scorched the Fairness's fiery body so hard that its armor disintegrated into smithereens!

"Not finished yet!" Honoka grinned as she swiftly signaled Tsubasa, who nodded.

Tsubasa charged up large amounts of electrical energy to shoot a fan of lightning towards the charred Fairness – the flames upon its body ignited its body and sent it flying towards Honoka once more, where it was greeted by Honoka slamming its jaw upon the ground.

Tsubasa unleashed a charged up bullet blaster which shot out of the dual pistol in a double-helix formation and swiftly struck the Fairness, at the same time when a mini supernova tore through the canine angel's body from Honoka's Xochiphilli gauntlets, scorching it into oblivion!

"Yes!" Tsubasa and Honoka hi-fived at their first victorious battle – two of the most powerful, speedy, and even deceptively fast angels in existence defeated by two young ladies!

Verse 1 - Tsubasa & Honoka side clear!

Tsubasa

Combo: 10840

Time: 2:30.430

Damage: No damage

Verdict: Pure Platinum Awarded!

Tsubasa's comment: Be nice, or be viced!

Honoka Kousaka

Combo: 11840

Time: 2: 30.430

Damage: No damage

Verdict: Pure Platinum Awarded!

Honoka's comment: I punch them really good!

Bayonetta grinned as she took out her Chernobog, engaged Umbran Climax, swiftly sweep the whole battlefield with a giant pirouette mowing slash, and…

"NOQUODI!" (Servant of the minster of Darkness in Enochian)

The Infernal Bat Demon – Mictantecuhtli - swiftly appeared in an Umbran Portal just right below the descending Applauds A & B, drilling them wildly across the field in an upwards strike,, and breaking them apart with tremendous force!

Several more staff-wielding Applaud Bs swiftly descended upon the skies with great force, but Bayonetta swiftly attached her Elfin Knight back upon her feet, activated Witch Time coolly, and proceeded to blasting a few Applauds' fleshes and bones into oblivion with a high speed breakdance bullet attack!

Bayonetta swiftly sped towards one of the Applaud Bs, tripped it using a roundhouse kick, and kicked its butt!

"PIR ZIXLAY!" (Heavenly ones all stirred up in Enochian)

A huge Gulliotine appeared just as the Appluad B's chin was about to slam the ground. Bayonetta then launched into a flurry of right leg kicks upon the Applaud's butt while it screeches like a chicken, ending the torture with a click upon her fingers and sending the chopping blade straight towards the Applaud's head!

*SHWING!*

And it was off with the Applaud's head!

The Applaud left behind a golden Angel Arm – a staff, which Bayonetta swiftly picked it up while switching her pair of Elfin Knights on her hands for a pair of Undines.

Just as a last bunch of surviving Applauds, enraged, charged towards the Umran Witch while covering themselves in a powerful icicle aura pumped from Liquid Nitrogen, Bayonetta gave a grin as she began unleashing a huge storm of Undine's Inferno in a pirouette dance and melting the Cryokinetic aura in one go!

Just as her pirouettes about to end, Bayonetta swiftly blasted the Applauds with a icy pirouette; the Umbran Witch alternated between Ice and Fire with every pirouettes until the Applauds' were completely frozen solid, to which she took the Staff Angel Arms and swing around the staff's elongated hilt like a pole dancer and unleashing large amounts of arcane slice energies!

Bayonetta then swiftly switched into two pairs of ringed-shaped weapons of gold and red – representing angels and demons – transformed said weapon into a demonic version of Acceptane's lancer twirled around in a massive pirouette, planted it upon the ground, and unleashed a giant tsunami of demonic energy that crushed the remaining angels apart!

Bayonetta Verse 3 cleared!

Combo: 55000

Time: 2: 20.320

Damage: No Damage

Verdict: You got the Pure Platinum Award!

Bayonetta's comment: Muah!

"Amazing…she got way more combo points then us both combined!" Tsubasa gasped.

"Nice work, Honoka and Tsubasa! It seems the two of you are getting the hang of the dance!" Bayonetta nodded and grinned.

"It really is true that Rodin made it accessible for us to use – they are really good!" Honoka jumped for joy.

Tsubasa chuckled at Honoka's optimism and nodded readily. "Ah, I would certainly agree with Honoka on!"

Eli, and Nozomi, who were the nearest of the lot who were dispersing to investigate clues to Route 666, heard the shattering cries of the last of the Applauds and ran back swiftly to check on the trio.

"Bayonetta! Tsubasa! Honoka! Are you alright?" Eli asked in concern.

The rest also made a swift rendezvous after hearing the angels' screams earlier.

"We are fine as is, Eli!" Tsubasa winked and blushed lightly. "Honoka did a really great job fighting those angels, I am impressed!"

"You did too, Tsubasa!" Honoka blushed along as she gave a sunny-like smile, much to Tsubasa's admiration. "We sure do complement each other well – range and melee – even our actions and all speaks for itself!"

Erema sighed and looked at the blushing Tsubasa. "Couldn't you just spill it out already?"

OST played: Bayonetta OST – Luka Enters (I feel that it's a good way to convey Tsubasa's dilemma right now!)

"W…Wha?" Tsubasa's eyes widened as a huge bead of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"You know what I am talking about; ya don't need me to spell it out, do you?" Erena rolled her eyes calmly.

"I…um…ah…" Tsubasa blushed. "What? Don't look at me as if I committed some crime!"

"You know, I have to side with Erena here; there is something on your mind and it doesn't take a dunce to know whatcha thinkin!" Bayonetta teased as she twirled her lollipop in front of Tsubasa's emerald eyes, and swiftly pointed it in Honoka's direction!

"You don't have to be shy about it…right?" Anju chuckled softly. "Kotori and Umi got together, so…"

"ANJU! You don't have to...to be…!" Tsubasa's eyes became white as she flustered in her speech!

"What? Don't you think it's a bit obvious to us; the fact that you are willing to pull us along just to clear the snow – just mere hours before the second Love Live preliminaries where they sung Snow Halation? Or how about you ate up loads of Love Live's Team Muse-based branded waffles just to get Honoka's costumes card – the Ultra Rare ones in particular? Or how about…"

"Or how about when you hold Honoka by her hands – when you allowed Muse to use our stage to perform Yume no Tobira – and you tell her how charming and dreamy she was, how her smile was cute, and how you even got all the CDs and goods…" Anju chuckled softly.

"WOAH WOAH WOAH!" Tsubasa crossed her arms in a hurry, breaking into a hot and cold sweat as she interrupted her mates. "It's not that I am denying! I just…I just need TIME! I don't know if…if…"

"Time wait for no man, my dear." Jeanne chuckled, with Bayonetta laughing along.

Honoka blushed softly; although she could be dense, reckless, and at times lazy, but her experiences in writing songs about love – Snow Halation -meant that it did not took her long enough to see where this was going!

"Tsubasa…"

"H…Huh? Ya?" Tsubasa gave a nervous smile.

"Did you….really…?" Honoka blushed softly. "I mean…I also…"

Tsubasa was about to respond when a huge rumbling quake erupted and uprooted the town in more ways than one – houses were destroyed, lamppost and trees were uprooted, fire hydrants were destroyed, and the lots!

The team was fortunate enough to be on an elevated ground of Vigrid, but the water was soon rising up minute by minute…

"Obza Ds Baglen Irgil Ollor Nightmare Mirc Nanaeel Qvrlst Ol Moooah – Tsubasa!" (The one who caused many a nightmare upon our Icy Maiden – Tsubasa!' in Enochian)

Just then, a loud, manly voice shot out from above the torrential skies…

"HEY! OVER HERE!"

The ladies looked up and saw Luka – on a hovering helicopter – waving hello!

"Luka! You seem to have a way around the world, haven't you? How'd you find us here?" Bayonetta wondered.

"My nose can smell trouble from afar, remember? I knew the instance there were some stormy clouds earlier in the day traveling into the direction of Vigrid that something is gonna be wrong; seems I am right." Luka nodded. "Someone's calling for your blood, Tsubasa!"

"Don't tell me it's because of Chris's nightmare!" Tsubasa frowned in concern.

"Judging by its sound…" Bayonetta frowned as she looked at Jeanne, both nodded in agreement.

A huge geyser of water began erupting from the ground up and quakes rippled through the floor in a swift motion!

A huge dragon-like angel suddenly came out of the flooded town of Vigrid and landed upon the sea itself, revealing itself in all its 'glory'.

The dragon-like angel had a pair of handlebar-like wings; its whole body had silvery metallic architecture adorned with lustrous metals, jewels, and even golden ornate highlights spreading around its body. Its face were reversed, as its 'eye was near its chin, while his jaws and mouth were located upon his main head instead. Its two pair of legs had porcelain faces, and an armored face located on its main head's bottom half. Upon its legs, two pairs of turning silver fans were connected upon its flat joints beneath its mini halos - on the top of each of his legs – followed by two turbines mounted on his back.

Its most striking feature however, was the numerous amounts of interconnecting tubes that feed loads of Liquid Nitrogen into the turbines, fans, and its handlebar-shaped wings, covering parts of its horns in its fronts, and its legs with Cryokinetic auras and ice.

"Ol Olani Oiad Lonsa Cordidz Bagle Olani Nenni Noasmi Ol Om Oiad Deception Ol Humanity!" ('You are the very reason why I have come to understand the deception of Humanity.' in Enochian.)

(Camera focused out as the said angel's body transitioned to a rough sketch of the full figure itself upon the Hierachy of Laguna, with the Audito's Halo spinning in place in time to reveal the name.)

Audito

THE FINAL CARDINAL VIRTUE OF PRUDENCE

OMEGA SAPIENTIA

"A…Auditos?" Tsubasa's eyes widened at the sight of the fearful, draconic creature standing right in front of the team.

"Auditos." Jeanne frowned. "The Divine Will's manifestation of the four virtues in existence – Prudence, Fortitude, Justice, and Temperance – and were thus some of the most powerful beings in existence."

Maki frowned as she looked upon Antonio's Notebook. "They are The Grand Generals of Paradiso and the Hierarchy of Lagunas in general. Basically a nice way of saying they are next in power to Jubelius and the Infinite One."

"You mean…manifestation of concepts given life?" Umi frowned.

"Every Infernal Demons and Angels in this world are – to a large extent – manifestation of concepts of certain aspects of human life, for better or for worse." Maki frowned.

"Olani Oai Grateful oi Oiad Icy Qvrlst Iolci Oiad Auditos Back Ol Malpirg." (I am indebted that the Icy Maiden brings us Auditos back to life. in Enochian) Omega Sapientia spoke calmly. "Ol Ds Inflict Oiad Mir Mirc Nanaeel Qvrlst, Gemeganza Suffer Oiad Nostoah Gnonp Did, Tsubasa Kira!" ('You who inflict the torment upon our Maiden, will suffer just as she did, Tsubasa Kira!' in Enochian)

Having done her 'homework' on the language of Angels thanks to her learning some basics online before the trip to Vigrid, and more advanced Enochian via Maki's Antonio Notebook, it did not take long enough for Tsubasa to realize why the Final Cardinal of Prudence would say such stuff.

Chris still could not let go of the very day that she had the nightmare – the nightmare of Eli joining A-RISE, and that Tsubasa herself was the perpetrator!

That and the few times where Tsubasa expressed her admiration for Muse and overall – to Honoka Kousaka in general – Chris would never ever forget, nor would she forgive!

"To think that Chris-sensei would still be traumatized by the assumption, the groundless accusation that I would poach Eli Ayase…and sabotage Honoka in doing her best." Tsubasa frowned.

Honoka looked at Tsubasa's concerned look as both ladies realized that no matter what they say would never satiate Chris's desire to kill Tsubasa, once and for all…

"Nanaeel Ipamis think Oi OiAD Qvrlst Nenni Ipamis Bams Mad Feelings Niis Honoka! Oi Oe Ol Oiad L-Baltoh Absurd Order!" (Do not think that the Maiden have not forgotten your feelings for Honoka! That is sin of the most absurd degree!) Omega Sapientia roared, its halos glowing red with anger and fury.

"Did Chris harbor such an intense hatred towards you, Tsubasa?" Bayonetta wondered.

"I am the leader of A-RISE…" Tsubasa sighed. "And also because she think that A-RISE represented everything negative about idol culture – raunchy, dirty, seductive bullcrap that made people view idol culture as talentless and money-milking - it is to be expected for her to assume that given Shocking Party…I just didn't expect her hatred to be taken to SUCH a degree…"

"That's not true at all!" Jeanne frowned. "Just because Shocking Party had a bit of naughty undertones did not make it seem like they are impolite, haughty, or proud in a negative light!"

Tsubasa shook her head.

"I will admit, the way I talked when we met Muse face to face might seem to just be a way to express our confidence…but under Chris's psyche, it might just be about equivalent to telling her to give up saving the idol industry in general." Tsubasa shook her head.

Omega Sapientia, fed up with Tsubasa's apparent knowledge, threw off every sense of speaking in Enochian and roared, sending torrents of water to destroy several towers distances behind.

"That way you talk, the way you think you know everything, you know everyone; you know every single detail as if you are the big shot, which is why our Maiden knows you will poach Eli Ayase, and even seduce Honoka Kousaka to distract her from getting Love Live, right?" Omega Sapientia roared.

Tsubasa gritted her teeth as she looked up.

"That isn't even true to begin with!" the leader of A-RISE shot back with eye frowning. "Did I sound haughty back then? Questionable! But I still respect my rivals and even treated Honoka like a worthy rival all the way! Heck, I treated her as one of my best friends even as we work together to save the School Idol industry! We learn a lot during our time as rivals, as friendly rivals, as best friends' off-duty, and even as allies during the final days before Muse did their Sunny Day Song PV! Even her smile is charming, but that's why I admire her – her ability to tackle life's hardship with utmost determination despite her brashness of it all!"

Sapientia breathed deeply, attempting to understand Tsubasa's words.

"Did I mention that Eli may be a great addition to our team? Yes! But did we really specifically say that we wanna POACH HER? NO! We knew that Eli is one of the nine reasons that made Team Muse the way they are; to poach her will be to make it unfair – dishonorable even! We are great with just 3 of us – Erena, Anju, and I!"

"As for Honoka, we might be rivals once, but it was Honoka's smile that allowed me to see her as the sun that she truly is! She is an angel, no…a sun! A shining sun!" Tsubasa shot back her admiration for Honoka towards Sapientia.

She then continued after a deep breath, her expression becoming serious. "Most of all though…it's her determination to get things done that got me attracted to her! The love and determination that she showed for her friends, family, fans, and even me for that matter; that is why I have grown close to her! That is why I admire her, and with recent times…why I admire her more than just an idol after the Sunny Day PV performance! That is why…!"

"SILENCE! The fact that you have those thoughts deserved the ultimate punishment!" Omega Sapientia roared.

The straw that broke the camel's back, Tsubasa thought.

Sure, Chris may have been inebriated in grief and sorrow due to her broken psyche of having lost the Fuschias for eighteen years, and the lost of her second family – Team Muse – due to disbandment did not help either.

But that did not justify such groundless accusations, especially accusations that she only got close to Honoka just so she can sabotage Muse's chance of winning Love Live!

Nor did it justify the groundless accusations of A-RISE's primary admiration for Eli Ayase meant that poaching was for certain!

They might be rivals back then…but even they had standards!

As the water levels began rising, Luka frowned as he shot out. "It's getting too dangerous! Let Jeanne and Bayonetta deal with this abominable creature while we get to the chopper!"

"We can deal with them with our weapons, can't we?" Nozomi wondered.

"Even if you can, there are only enough floatable objects for about four people to travel upon!" Luka frowned.

Tsubasa's hands began trembling – she tolerated enough of Sapientia's bullshit.

Was Chris's grief understandable?

Yes!

Is losing a family member, a friend, or even loved ones sorrowful in general?

Definitely! Who did not?

Is Team Muse's previous disbandment sorrowful?

You bet it was!

Did it justify Chris's action?

NO! Not when innocent lives were involved!

Tsubasa knew that if she had to die, she might as well die knowing that it's not her fault that she caused Chris's grief – it was her own wangst that did such injustification despite a sympathetic Freudian Excuse!

Tsubasa stepped out, much to the shock of Muse, Luka, A-RISE, and Honoka in general…

"I will deal with this!" Tsubasa frowned.

"But…but why?" Erena shot out in concern.

"This is between me and that dragon-like abomination!" Tsubasa frowned as she whipped out her Venus Revolvers. "If what he really wanted to have a go at killing me, then so be it! Won't stop me from admiring Honoka, even if she may not notice it in the end, or one-sided, or whatsoever!"

Tsubasa gasped upon feeling a soft and gentle grip upon her right shoulder.

"H…Honoka?" Tsubasa stammered.

"It's no point trying to reason with Sapientia, Tsubasa." Honoka simpered. "You are not going to face him alone, we are!"

"Besides…thank you for telling me…how you feel for me." Honoka blushed happily.

"Y….You know it's more than just admiration as an idol…?" Tsubasa replied swiftly.

Honoka nodded and blushed happily.

"If we have to live to see the day, let's fight for it, shall we?" Honoka gave a smile as bright as the sunshine Tsubasa recognized!

Bayonetta calmly looked at Tsubasa and gave a confident nod and a small smile; she was well aware of Tsubasa's relationship with Honoka thanks to the Umbran Witch being a fan of Muse herself.

"Cereza and I know Sapientia; he's a very talkative type." Jeanne smirked. "No point shutting him up, the only way is to play with them until they got tired, and tell them to fuck off!"

"Tsubasa, if you love someone, you will have to fight for it. Treasure her properly; I know you do, because you support her during the Live finals despite being your rivals, right?" Bayonetta winked; she was there as one of the spectators in the final Live as well – of course, as the orange-brown hair lady that sang 'As times goes by' and escorted Honoka back to the hotel in the future.

Tsubasa looked at the famed Umbran Witch and felt gratitude welling up inside her; Bayonetta was right after all – why not did she had such astounding agency that even the angels feared her?

Because Bayonetta fought for someone she loved…

She fought in memory of the Umbran Witches and most importantly, her mother whom she treasured the most – Rosa.

The same Rosa who encouraged her to stand up strong, be powerful and badass, and protect humanity from evil angel in the most fun ways possible!

To whom Tsubasa treasured?

Not just Erena and Anju, the fans, and Love Live that was for sure.

Honoka.

It was Honoka, truly it was her!

Tsubasa and Honoka blushed in bliss as they stood back to back, facing the enraged Omega Sapientia; they know that after this battle their feelings will be confessed to each other; with that notion, the encouragement to kick angel butt ignited upon their very soul!

The rest of Muse and A-RISE looked upon their leaders with nods of approval and admiration; with even Erena giving a sigh of relief!

"I guess even when you are bossy, Honoka, you still have the guts to rise up to even the seemingly impossible task, huh?" Umi simpered.

"Welp….it's about time Tsubasa got to acknowledge those feelings of hers!" Erena thought while simpering.

"C'mon, there's no time!" Luka shot out while frowning; the torrential water threatening to wash whatever remained of the floating grounds left!

Umi at once instated herself as the deputy leader as she gave a firm nod towards Honoka.

"You deal with that Audito with Tsubasa, Bayonetta, and Jeanne!" Umi nodded.

Honoka gave a bright smile. "Umi, I won't let anyone of you down!"

"Let's get it up! Quickly, double it up!" Umi instructed as Luka helped some of them along too.

"Be careful, nya!" Rin shot out.

With only four – Bayonetta, Jeanne, Tsubasa, and Honoka – left to face the Final Cardinal Virtue of Prudence, the angel's halo itself glowed red with fury and anger.

Both Bayonetta and Jeanne's eyes glowed pink and purplish blue as the leapt into the air, materialized three pair of wings from Malphas, Godoka, and Homucifer, and activated their 'Serious Mode' – permanent Umbran Climax mode.

"Humans…always so foolish!" Omega Sapientia roared. "Do not think lightning will strike twice just because I have been defeated once!"

"Oh? Why don't we have some genuine fun, then? Will be quite nice to see you pile on quite a challenge when you are not talking crap and boasting about how powerful you are! Plenty of time for pillow talk afterwards, I assure you!" Bayonetta winked.

"If you think you're gonna break us up…" both Tsubasa shot out in unison as they raised their weapons, back to back, facing the Final Cardinal Virtue of Prudence with a certain ominous chant playing upon the background…

OST Played: Bayonetta x Love live Official Soundtrack - Yume no Tobira x Sapientia – On the Choice Between Good and Evil Mix (Infinity Climax Omega Platinum ReMix)

"You better turn your tail and run, because you are IN A WORLD OF WRONG!"

"THEN DIE!" Omega Sapientia roared.

(Chapter Scene ends with Tsubasa and Honoka standing back to back, with Bayonetta and Jeanne following suit, much to Sapientia's disgust and anger.)

"LET'S ROCK, BABY!" the foursome shot out confidently.
