Chapter 6: Demon Dragon or Undead?

(Adding one more Disclaimer: I do not own, Darksiders, Bayonetta or Devil may cry they all belong to their respected owners.

I apologize for the delay but I'm back for maybe a short time and I now have a plan with this triple Crossover and I will like to explain it for those who may not understand that this story is a A side half of the story involved with Bayonetta and Jeanne due to Darksiders 1 and 2 taking place nearly at the same time:

1st: Bayonetta's story with Death up until the Forge Lands Arc ends.

2nd: Jeanne's story with War up until the Bat queen Tiamat Arc ends.

I'm trying to keep a balanced focus on the two's stories.

And I've decided to rename the chapter I wanted to focus more Bayonetta vs Ghorn but the fight I had imagined didn't seem... big enough or as good enough so I had decided to revise, add and re-think this chapter over and over and finally I come up with a bigger fight for Death. I was going to have Lemons in this chapter but I felt it would detract from the story much... sorry I wanted Death to get even with Bayonetta too.)

The Tree of Life

The Herald of Disorder an the Mistress of Destruction stood in front of the giant door as the Avatar appeared along with two other champions clocked in shadows in the door, one had seemed to be human sized but with a black hooded cloak and the other had four angel wings and kept his face hidden. The Herald then reported "The one called Jubileus is now under complete control and is awaiting for orders my lord."

Then the cloaked Champion asked with a deep voice with a calm tone "And what of the rumors of the Reaper and this Primordial Nephilim?"

Then the angel stated "They too shall face the light of thy Creator."

But the Mistress insulted the angel "And why do we have a zealot as a Champion?"

Then The Avatar then stated "The Angel is the Prophet of Anarchy, though he is insane that is also what makes him, a great champion of Corruption."

Then the group muttered as the Avatar then answered "The woman is a primordial human from a time long forgotten but yet she bares resemblance to an average Nephilim female even shares common Nephilim traits, the height from which the Nephilim stand taller than man but some humans are born abnormally tall, the bloodlust from what the Mistress has seen is killing these ancient Angels, the blood of light and dark like the Nephilim, Bayonetta shares blood of holy light and eternal darkness but yet her powers are based on the dark perhaps of choice?"

The Herald then stated "The empty husk of Jubileus seems to have a grudge for Bayonetta."

The Mistress of Destruction then laughed asmuingly and said "What a mysterious destined fate Bayonetta has, its obvious that she had help coming here from what the husk's memories suggest she has no full control over time just slows it down."

The cloaked Champion then asked "Hmmm if I may be so bold to even suggest, perhaps the Old ones of time control may have something to do with this."

The Avatar then stated "Impossible they do not exist anymore they are all gone."

The Herald then scoffed "It wouldn't be the first time my lord that we were wrong, Bayonetta's soul being immune to Corruption and being immortal..."

The Avatar then asked "What are you suggesting Herald?"

The Herald then stated his thoughts "I theorize that Bayonetta is the base of how the Nephilim were created, I have some evidence from the memories of Jubileus here to support this theory of mine."

The Avatar then growled in annoyance as the angel said "And what proves these claims?"

The Herald then held out his lower left hand as a spectral memory of Jubileus was seen and showed Bayonetta's parents were of light and dark and that her birth would be the destruction of the universe. The Avatar then went silent seeing this and saw Bayonetta's world was the Forge lands' past and widened his eyes in surprise and said "And this is where Lilith gained the power to create the Nephilim... from the Makers."

Then the memory reveals Bayonetta's battling the angels of her time and her getting aroused from their painful deaths and torments as the Mistress of Destruction grinned and said "Look at all that destruction... it's delicious!"

The Avatar then stated "It would seem your theory is proven Herald and this could be used to our advantage..."

The Herald then agreed "I assume we are of one mind my lord?"

The Avatar then grinned and stated "Yes... If she is truly the base of what the Nephilim template then Death's duty to protect her will change to destroy her! For even he cannot allow more than the four Nephilim traitors to live. But in case Death doesn't... DEVASTATION!"

Then a deep growling voice asked telepathically "What is thy command oh Avatar of Chaos."

The Avatar then ordered "Five days, five days then I want you to destroy this world. This wold's destruction will send a message to all the others, Corruption has risen!"

In the Abyss

A giant world fully covered in the black ooze that is Corruption begun to move towards the Forge land's location and suddenly the world had opened large yellow eyes and a jagged mouth that made it's appearance even more creepy and said with the same deep voice as Devastation "Your wish is my command, Devastation the destroyer of worlds will obey."

The planet of Corruption began to float through the Abyss and had it's gaze on one world, the First world in this universe, the Forge Lands.

Tristone (while Death and Bayonetta was away)

Muria had been attending her garden when she felt a familiar presence and grunted and quietly said "Ghorn..."

Then suddenly slamming sound was heard as a molten lava clawed hand was on the garden plants and revealed Ghorn with half a stone face that bled lava that burnt the plants and grinned and said "You creator! Ghorn demands the one who scared his face!"

Muria then frowned and said "You have no reason to be here monster!"

Ghorn then growled with a toothy frown and said "Did Cretaor forget it was her who created Ghorn who still bleeds anger and fire!"

Muria then grunted and stated "And why would I help you my creation?"

Then Thane from the training yard saw Ghorn and pulled out his axe charging as he shouted "YA DARE TO RETURN MONSTER?!"

Ghorn turned to see Thane and spat lava out on the plants causing a fire that burnt the plants alive as Muria fell to her knees and grabbed her head as she felt the pain of the plants. Then Ghorn laughed and said "Creator will help Ghorn in his way..."

As Thane's sight was clouded by the smoke from the plants he then heard Muria's scream and finally reached the garden and gasped to the sight of Muria shaking with her arms crossed with her hands under in-between her arm pits and shook as if she was in pain. Thane then saw Ghorn hissed smoke at Thane and roared "GHORN WILL COME AGAIN UNTIL THE ONE WHO SCARED HIS FACE COMES TO FACE ME ALONE!"

Thane gritted his teeth and charged as he yelled in anger but Ghorn breathed fire at Muria which Thane quickly stopped and pulled her away but had his right shoulder burnt. Thane grunted as he was on his knees tightening his teeth as he saw Ghorn had disappeared but then Alya shouted "VALUS!"

Thane turned to Ghorn had allied himself with Bheithir the Queen of the lava bats which had kidnapped Valus, Thane then turned to Muria who cringing with her hand still under her arms. Thane then rolled Muria over and widened his eyes and said "No... that fire breathin bastard!"

With our deadliest couple

Death had pulled out a giant hammer that was part of Karkinos while Bayonetta was about fifteen feet away from the crumbled body of Karkinos and asked "Are you sure the roach is dead?"

Death then sighed and stated with the hammer over his shoulder "It's dead and I should know I am an expert at this."

Bayonetta then saw Dust and Bright eyes returned with a sack of treasure as Bayonetta asked "So that's it?"

Bright eyes then nodded as Dust cawed as death sighed and pulled out a demonic eye and tossed it at his feathered servant who had his mouth wide open ready to catch his food but Bright eyes had quickly pushed him out of her way and caught the eye and ate it. Dust dropped his lower beak in pure shock with his eyes tearing up and comedically fell beak first into the ground.

Bayonetta had searched through the sack and found very little treasure, but found a Maker's helmet and held it showing it to Death and both immediately said in unison "The Pup's helmet."

Bayonetta then found another Page from the book of the dead in the sack and counted "That's three already..."

Then Bright eyes flew in with a letter in her beak as Bayonetta held out her hand and allowed her bird servant to perch on her and took the letter and petted Bright eyes from the neck to her tail feathers hearing her coo in comfort. Bayonetta opened the letter and saw there were twelve pages of the book of the dead and saw a note and it read:

I know who you are Cereza, daughter of Rosa and Balder, blood of both Light and Dark the base of what Lilith used to create the first Nephilim, Absalom. Well done love you're the spiritual ancestor of an entire species of half breeds!

- Wicked K

Bayonetta then widened her eyes in shock as Death asked "What is it?"

Bayonetta then changed the subject "When is the Reaper gonna "reap" me?"

Death then drew closer to Bayonetta and said "Are we talking about the souls you carry or you're soul?"

Bayonetta then smirked and said "Ohhh Naughty boy."

Dust was under Bayonetta's legs and looked straight up with his tongue hanging out to the side as Bright eyes' eyes darkened in her mask, making her seem she had no eyes as she tackled Dust again and pecked on his head. Death and Bayonetta were looking at their crows' tussle as Bayonetta said "Show em whose owns it girl!"

Dust was on his back as Bright eyes placed one foot on his chest with the other on the ground and stood proudly out to the horizon as Death said "Worthless bird."

Dust glared at Death for a brief moment as he saw a flash of Death's Reaper form staring back and made Dust's have the chills, Bayonetta laid back down as Death released the Tears of the mountain. Later that night Bayonetta looked up to see a corrupted Glamor Angel staring down at her from the ceiling of the Drench fort inner sanctum and joked "Well aren't we nosy?"

The Glamor angel roared at Bayonetta and Death while it lunged at the two but death dodged at the last second as did Bayonetta which time slowed but Bayonetta noticed Death's reaper form had split from him and attacked while time was slowed and licked her lips as she thought "That's new."

Time restored as Bayonetta then asked "Your reaper form can split from your body?"

Death then stated "Yes now can we get out of here?"

Bayonetta then said "Hey I told you I have a way out look behind us."

Death then saw the river of the Tears of the Mountain as Bayonetta teased as she jumped out "Surfs up!"

Time seemingly slowed as Death was silent and both he and Dust who was perched on his shoulder were staring at her ass as Bayonetta grabbed a branch and spun around until she was on all four on the branch. Dust's lower beak dropped as he and Death were staring at Bayonetta's ass until Bright eyes flew away from the angel but still managed to tackle Dust off of Death's shoulder as Bayonetta shouted "MY EYES ARE UP HERE DEATH!"

Death then jumped out of the way of the attacking angel who roared as Death took a log sized branch off a tree and used it as a surf board with Bayonetta landing on top. Bayonetta then held out her right fist as Death bumped it but above the two Death's Reaper fist and Bayoentta's Madama butterfly fist also bumped fists and gave a thumbs up.

Then the Glamor angel who was flying after the two stayed quite until it spoke "You think this angel has control over himself? HAHAHA!"

Bayonetta then noticed the Glamor angel spat Corruption as it talked and taunted again "Ewww you kiss your mum with that mouth?"

The Glamor angel then growled and attempted to tail smack Bayonetta who had dodged last second slowing time and pulled out her guns and kissed her right one's barrel and said "Let's rock baby!"

But when Bayonetta shot the Glamor angel while time was slowed and Death too was slowed Bayonetta noticed her bullets weren't doing any damage and teased "Oh bugger guess I need to get personal don't I?"

Bayonetta then summoned he hammer and swung it nto the side of the angel's head and turned towards Death and pulled out a lolipop from her cleavage and licker her lips and teased "Home run!"

Death had his arms crossed as he appeared to look slightly amused on the log as Bayonetta had stood near the front of her pillar with her hands in the air and shouted "I'M LOVING THIS NEW UNIVERSE EVEN MORE BY THE MINUTE!"

But the Glamor angel had pursued Bayonetta and hissed as it dodged boulders in the river and attempted to chomp at Bayonetta as Death pulled out Redemption out and forward flipped over a tree root that was growing into the river and while upside down and mid air. Time seemingly slowed as Death shot Redemption into the Glamor Angel's eye as it attempted to chomp at Bayonetta and caused it to roar in pain.

Then the Glamor angel roared as it followed after Bayonetta while Death suggested "Use that hammer on me!"

Bayonetta then asked "What?"

Death then summoned Mortis as it laughed insanely and shouted "HIT ME DAMNIT!"

Bayonetta then summoned her hammer and slammed it on Mortis which caused the pillar to bounced from the shock wave of the hammer as Mortis' eye glowed and grinned as Death shouted "TOGETHER!"

Bayonetta then jumped with Death as the two dodged the Glamor angel's chomp, then Bayonetta smashed her hammer into the right side of the angel as Death punched with Mortis on the left side causing the angel's head to explode and it's body to fall into the river. Death and Bayonetta landed back on the pillar as Bayonetta had her arms crossed and rubbing the opposite sides of her upper arms and said "Ohhhhhhh the ecstasy is overwhelming..."

Death then stated "You've got issues Bayonetta."

Then Death turned to see an incoming wall and quickly grabbed Bayonetta as the pillar hit a boulder and flung the two through the wall with Death landing on his back and groaned when suddenly Bayonetta landed ass first on his head. Mortis then grinned and as he heard Death groan and heard "Get off of me!"

Mortis then stated "Oh shut up! You know you love it!"

Bayonetta then agreed "He better love it!"

Then Dust and Bright eyes flew in but Bright eyes tackled Dust for staring at Bayoentta's ass earlier and heard a series of loud pecking sounds as Bayonetta said "Oh lovey doveys."

Death and Bayonetta then got up too see a door and walked through to see a large chamber with a chest in the middle as Bayonetta then looked up to see a purposely placed hole in the roof that shined onto the chest and saw a full moon and said "Oh this will be easy."

Then Bayonetta placed one foot on the wall as death stared quietly and asked "What are you..."

Death stopped as Bayonetta then walked on the wall and walked towards the bridge that led to the center of the chamber and jumped off with ease as Death's lower jaw though almost unnoticeable but was seen lowered as if he was shocked while Dust and Bright eyes dropped their's. Bayonetta then used Madama Butterfly's fist to smash the chest in and opened it as the hand reached in and pulled out a giant hammer as Bayonetta thought "This looks important."

Bayonetta then used Madama's wings to flutter across the room and said "You three coming or what?"

Death then thought "What the hell did I just witness?"

Later

Death and Bayonetta had returned and was surprised to see Karn in Tristone as Bayonetta joked "I'd thought you'd like to explore?"

Karn then said with a serious tone "Not now miss we've... we've been hit pretty hard."

Bayonetta then raised a brow as Elder Eideard was with Thane who had shouted "I DON'T CARE IF HE IS A CONSTRUCT THE BASTARD KILLED A YOUNG ONE AND ATTEMPTED TO KILL MURIA!"

Death and Bayonetta then widened their eyes in shock as Eideard had had calmly asked "Please old friend do not let your hatred of Ghorn cloud your judgement."

Thane then responded with even greater anger "THAT FIRE BREATHIN BASTARD AND THAT WINGED BEAST HAVE BEEN MURDERIN US FOR TOO LONG AND YA GONNA LET THE NEWCOMERS TAKE THEM OUT?!"

Eideard then sighed and placed his hand on Thane's left shoulder and said "I understand yer anger towards Ghorn but please let that hatred be set aside, Muria wouldn't want you to hold a grudge knowing it may draw Corruption into your soul."

Thane then growled but sighed and said "I'm sorry Eideard... I'll go blow off some of my steam."

Thane then walked past Karn, Death and Bayonetta but asked "Missy would ya do me a favor?"

Bayonetta then asked "And what pray tell would that be?"

Thane then asked "Make that Fire breather suffer."

Thane walked by and drew out his axe as he walked past a training post and swung his axe as he still walked cutting the post as the upper half slid off, Death and Bayonetta then walked towards Eideard as Death asked "What happened here Old one?"

Eideard then stated "We were attacked while you two were away, it's best that Muria tell you please follow me."

Bayonetta and Death followed Eideard to the Maker's Forge and saw Alya sitting on stepping stones with her hands on her head as Death asked "Where's your brother?"

Alya then stated "He's been captured by Bheithir and Ghorn."

Bayonetta now seeing Muria was laying on a stone bed with bandage wraps on her hands and said "Oh dear..."

Muria then sighed and stated "Ironic that it was my own creation to do this."

Bayonetta then jumped on the bed and asked "You created Ghorn?"

Muria then stated "Yes... I was attempting to make a Construct without the requirement of a Maker's soul, however what I didn't suspect was it's pain without a soul would cause the Construct pain and suffering. It's pain increased to the point of taking form of molten lava... and turned it's pain in unnerving rage and anger..."

Bayonetta began to feel pity and asked "I overheard Thane shouting about Ghorn killing a young one is that true?"

Muria then sniffed and said "A death I and Thane personally regret... for our daughter was just so innocent for most eyes."

Bayonetta was then reminded of her parents being forced out of her life by the Lumen sages and Umbra Witches and asked "I'm sorry for your loss."

Muria then stated "If it were up to me I would destroy what I created... but that is not the way of our people. We Makers create not destroy and Ghorn seems to have a grudge against you Bayonetta."

Bayonetta then shrugged and stated "Well I did shoot half his face off guess he didn't learn his lesson the first time."

Muria then asked "If I would be so bold to ask... please end my creation's pain though he may not know it he still is in pain."

Bayonetta then asked "As soon as me and Death get to the Tree I might..."

Then Eideard stated "Without Valus, we cannot have the means to the Lost temple and to awaken the Guardian within the Foundry... He and Alya know how to make a Maker's key one that which can awaken stone itself. But without Valus, Alya's knowledge of putting life into the key is meaningless without her brother's knowledge of making the key itself."

Bayonetta then sighed and said "So I guess me and Death have to go and face Ghorn..."

Muria then stated "No... Ghorn demands are for you alone to face him and Death would more than likely provoke him to kill Valus... no I'm afraid that you and you alone must face Ghorn's wrath."

Bayonetta then asked "And how am I supposed to face Ghorn without the means to get there?"

Then Rodin walked up from the shadows and said "I gotcha ya covered Bayonetta Serpent holes ancient tunnels that run throughout this world and beyond."

Everyone then turned to see a portal open behind Rodin as Bayonetta then said "Ok show me."

Rodin along with Bayonetta left the town and Bayonetta saw the serpent hole world was a violet as Rodin walked over the edge and suddenly ruined steps appeared right as Rodin walked. Bayonetta was impressed with this place but Rodin then turned as Enzo asked "So are you gonna warn her or not?"

Rodin then said "Quite Enzo, Bayonetta there are a few individuals I should really warn you about."

Bayonetta then teased "Well seeing that my real informant is still stuck in a jar."

Enzo then smirked and said "Fugetaboutit!"

Rodin then clapped his hands together and opened up revealing many different individuals and showed a red demon with large horns and upside down wings and stated "I must first warn you of one of my fellow Demon lords, Samael the Lord of Hell's circle Violence. Samael is considered a rival to the Dark Prince himself whose uhhhhh... a descendent of Sheba."

Bayonetta then raised a brow and asked "I feel for the poor sod who had to be the lucky man to give it to Sheba."

Rodin then cleared his throat and stated "Lucifer's power drives from a piece of Sheba's lost power he's not a blood relative just a inheritor of her power."

Bayonetta then teased "Sure lets just ignore how a baby is made shall we?"

Rodin then stated "Samael is known as the Red wanderer, and his true home is Shadow's edge where his fortress of Black stone has strange but familiar time manipulating abilities. I am not certain but I believe he was granted the power by the Time controlling Old ones."

Bayonetta then asked "I'm still wondering who they are any ideas?"

Rodin then stated "Of course I know who they are only one still lives, but her three children still live."

Then Madama Butterfly without being summoned opened a portal with her arms crossed and a frown arose in full towering form leaned over and asked "What do you mean three?"

Bayonetta then asked "What the?"

Madama Butterfly then waved and said "Oh don't worry darling I'm not breaking our contract but what are you talking about Rodin?"

Rodin then pulled out a cigar and snapped his thumb lighting it with purple flames and lit it stating "Your mother (Puff) had another kid while you and your sister Styx were contracted with Jeanne and Bayonetta. The demon's a male and is named Sparda."

Madama then asked "Interesting he must be taller then I am right?"

Rodin then stated "actually I would like to say he's the runt of the litter, but just as powerful."

Madama and Bayonetta were quite but then Madama broke out laughing and said "Oh so I have a baby brother oh I've wanted a little itty bitty brother."

Rodin then stated "Yeah but he's one of the Knights of Hell."

Bayonetta then asked "Ok what?"

Rodin then opened a portal to where Ghorn was and stated "He's basically one of the few demons that Lucifer trusts and that is rare."

Tristone

Death was with Muria when everyone had left and finally asked "Tell me Shaman why does Bayonetta have a talismen that contains souls within them?"

Muria then sighed and stated "I knew you'd see that, with me being blind and having the spiritual connection to this world's past and present I've gathered the souls of the Umbra witches that were left to wonder this world after the ancient demons had abandoned them."

Death then asked "Why would Demons abandon the souls of these witches?"

Muria then stated "When the universe is about to be consumed by darkness and you know you're going to become the ancient Abyssal Creatures then you're willing to hide anything of value. That is including souls."

Death then squinted his eyes and asked "What purpose did you have for them with Bayonetta?"

Muria then stated "I cannot say... I gave my word that I wouldn't."

Death then asked "Why did you promise this to?"

Then a familiar voice stated "Isn't it obvious Death?"

Death then turned to see the Herald of Disorder in the Maker's Forge who continued "Bayonetta is the base for the perfect Nephilim, she is your kind's spiritual ancestor!"

Death then widened his eyes as the Herald then stated "Now that you know Bayonetta is your spiritual ancestor and thus a primordial Nephilim your duty to wiping them out isn't done yet!"

Death then stated "I thought that she felt too much like one, but you've forgotten... she maybe a spiritual ancestor to my people but she is genetically human. Meaning that we Nephilim are even more human than any other race!"

The Herald was then punched by Death's reaper fist as Death continued "Therefore I can choose which one she is... and as far as I can see Herald she's more human in my eyes!"

The Herald was shocked and shouted "YET SHE IS CAPABLE OF BREEDING WITH A NEPHILIM!"

Death then stopped for a moment and the Herald then stated "That's correct! If she lives all of creation will die for her children may be stronger than either you and her combined!"

Death was silent as his eyes shadowed under his masked appearing to be only darkness in his mask as the Herald stood up and crossed his upper arms with his lower arms behind his back with one changing into the shape of a blade. The Herald then continued "Oh yes I know of you two's similar origins... the daughter of a Luman sage and a Umbre witch, a created member of the first born Nephilim..."

Death then widened his eyes in shock as the Herald continued "Both children of Light and Dark, both loosing a certain family member..."

Death then claimed "I do not regret killing Absalom!"

But the Herald stated "Who said I was talking about Absalom?"

Death then widened his eyes as he remembered during the battle to keep the Grand abominations from a rogue angel's grasp and war had died from that battle though thankfully Death was there to use War's Chaoseater to use the battle ground as a way to resurrect his brother. Ever since he has feared to tell War that Death led him to his demise and asked "How do know of that?"

The Herald then stated "The Will of Corruption Is Hatred given form... guess who was born from the hatred from that battle Death?"

Death was silent and asked "Who?"

The Herald then held out his lower left hand and stated "I was born from that battle, molded from the hatred of both angels' and demons' they hated working with each other, an the hate that the Grand abominations had gifted me power that even Lilith would lust for!"

But as soon as the Herald said 'Lilith' he noticed his fingers were missing and saw them on the ground and saw Death's cold stare with his eyes glowing red and said "Amusing..."

Then the Herald's skeletal fingers melted and molded into his robes and Death saw his fingers regrow with the Herald's eyes glowing bright yellow while he said "I am made of pure Corruption Death no weapon in your arsenal can harm me!"

The Herald then laughed but Death's reaper fists punched him out of the Maker's forge doors and walked out keeping an angry glare at the Champion of Corruption as the Herald too back up and snapped his skeletal fingers. Death then looked up to see corrupt ancient angels floating in place above the town and some even stood on the cliff over the gate as the Herald stated "I wasn't expecting that... but good thing Corruption is always prepared. I demand you fight me in combat in the Stone father's Veil!"

Death then squinted his eyes as the Herald began to sink into the ground and promised "Or my Corrupt angels will destroy this town and kill all who live within it!"

The Stone father's Veil

Death had walked out into the open and announced "I'm here Herald to accept your challenge!"

The Herald who mimicked a tree's shadow moved from the spot as death saw the shadow move in the center of the Veil, then Corruption formed from the shadow and formed the Herald with his upper arms crossed and his lower arms behind his back and said "I must admit myself... almost honored to fight Death."

Death then unsheathed both scythes and said "I will deal with you swiftly then."

The Herald then saw Death's chest had shards in them and chuckled amusingly and said "This isn't even a fight worth my time, you may do as you wish."

Death then asked "You called for this I... GAHHHHHHH!"

Death's chest where the shards of the amulet had been placed had glowed and steamed as Death grabbed his head in pain hearing the souls of his people all at once calling out:

Traitor!

Murderer!

Kinslayer...

Executioner!

Reaper...

You cannot hide your sins from us!

You will face judgement!

A fate you shall abide!

We will make you feel our PAIN!

Death yelled in pain covering his ears as if the voices were coming from people around him and the Herald then walked away and said "I can only imagine what you are seeing right now... Kinslayer!"

While the Herald moved on Death was seeing spectral being standing all around him all he recognized as his people... the lives he regrets to take... the only race he feels sorrow of stealing their souls... The Nephilim.

A few hours later two Corrupt angels saw Death and attempted to kill him but as one reached out it's hand it's hand had fallen off and blood soon gushed out as Death held his scythe out with glowing red eyes and said "I to kill something bring me more!"

Then Death grabbed the angel whose hand was cut and tore ripped his head off with his Reaper fist as the other fled while nearly two hundred corrupt angels, from Joy to Belief. The Corrupt angels out numbered Death by twenty to one but Death then raised a finger as a summoning seal opened under neither the angels who walked on land and ordered "Feed!"

Then all the angels looked down as a giant undead Leviathan erupted from the seal with a Belief angel in it's mouth and crushed it in it's massive jaws and roared loudly causing a small shockwaves through out the Veil. Death then snapped his fingers as the undead Leviathan erupt into flames and exploded killing more than half of the angels sent to kill Death, but those who remained were the unlucky ones as Death had both scythes in hand and he glowed purple and exploded into a massive Reaper storm throwing his scythes out into the storm that would shred any of the corrupt angels that lived.

While the storm was raging on some of the angels that were caught were decapitated from Death's scythes, some shredded to a bloody mess, others were blown out of the storm and were impaled by tree branches with more being impaled in the same branch. But most were thrown into the cliffside where they were entire bodies just stained the Veil.

When it was all over the storm had died out as Death floated back down and his scythes that spun at him almost if they were about to kill him to but he front flipped and grabbed both scythes in mid air and landed feet first then sheathed them. Death's eyes darkened as he walked back to town unknowing he was being watched by the Herald "Impressive but not enough to kill pure Corruption."

Then a unknown deep calm voice that telepathically heard in the Herald's very being said "He has grown stronger than I last remembered, I do not want him dead."

Then the Herald asked "But what if the Avatar orders me to?"

Then the Voice stated "Then he will die."

The Herald then asked "Master I do not understand why attacking Death emotionally and mentally is any help to our cause?"

The voice then calmly stated "I do not wish to answer that, for I am beyond any Champion... You Champions believe me as a voiceless evil but let me assure you that I. Am. Hatred. I. Am. Corruption."

The Scar Temple

Bayonetta floated out of the serpent hole as Rodin stated "Be careful Bayonetta."

Bayonetta then teased "Oh I didn't realized Rodin cared so much."

Rodin then stated "I like you as a costumer it wouldn't be good for business if ya just died."

The portal closed as Bayonetta joked "Oh you know you love me."

Bayonetta then kicked the doors open and walked down the stairs to another door as Bright eyes cawed softly as Bayoentta teased "What can happen?"

Bayonetta then kicked the doors open as holy light shined on her making her grunt in pain and fall to her knees as the light kept shining until Ghorn's laughter was heard "HAHAHAHA! GHORN WAS TOLD THAT YOU'RE POWERS WEAKEN FROM PRETTY LIGHT!SO GHORN HAD MADE FRIENDS!"

Bayonetta then looked up to see more Corrupt angels but they seemed to be mutated even further than others to the point they radiated souls of light and Ghorn standing across a bridge with a molten lava sword and grinned with half of his mouth since half his face was blown off. Bayonetta then stood up but weakened from the surprise attack she had purple electric bolts surrounding her as she walked slowly towards the center of the bridge and smirked.

Ghorn then shouted "WHY YOU SMILE WHEN YOU DIE BY GHORN'S HANDS?!"

Bayonetta then joked "At least you make your speeches short and loud I almost feel bad when I break that other half off!"

Ghorn then growled and shouted "GHORN WILL CRUSH YOU!"

Then Bheithir fell from the ceiling and landed behind Ghorn who repeatedly slammed his fists on the bridge and shouted "FLEE FLEE!"

Then the bridge collapsed and Bayonetta with it and fell into a underground tunnel with molten lava surrounding her and had Corrupt Constructs waiting along with the Corrupt Angels. Bayonetta then pulled out the Gorewood Maul and said "Let's... let's rock baby!"

Bayonetta then slammed the bottom end of the hammer into the ground and used it as a pole while she pole danced and used her feet to kick and shoot Constructs and angels. Bayonetta then jumped up and grabbed the hammer batted a angel which exploded upon impact making Bayonetta smirk and said "Bloody pigeons!"

Then Bayonetta tried to jump out of the area she was in but her powers were weakened from the holy lights used on her but she saw another way out and followed to a hole in the ground. Bayonetta jumped through as Bright eyes file after and saw a large number of lightning stingers and their nest and threw her hammer at the nest causing it to explode in a gory mess while she casually walked and effortlessly shot the stingers.

When Bayonetta reached the end of the tunnel she saw a that she would need to climb and began but then Ghorn appeared at the top and shouted "GAHHHHHH BURN! BURN! BURRRRRRRRN!"

Then Bayonetta taunted "Boy if you don't shut the..."

Then a boulder nearly fell on her but she dodged it and looked down to see the tunnel was beginning to fill with lava and said "Ohh this is just not a good day for a bath like that."

Then Bayonetta hurried as the lava began to rise faster while Ghorn jumped into it escaping Bayonetta again as she said "Well at least he knows how to run."

Bayonetta then reach the top huffing as she then sighed and said "When I get my hands on that..."

Then the lava spewed up lava bats as Bayonetta squinted her eyes and said "Of course!"

Bayonetta then front flipped as the bats heads clashed with her feet and she smiled and saluted them off and teased "Like the view?"

Both bats growled as they saw Bayonetta looking at them leaning leaning forward from between her legs in mid air and shot both bats back into the lava and landed feet first and said "You two just make me feel... batty!"

Bayonetta finally reached the chamber where she last saw Ghorn then looked in the far back to see a door and said "Well straight across from the front door..."

Bayonetta then looked at the ground near the steps to the door and saw it was a lava pit and said "A Lava pit to keep trespassers out..."

Then Bayonetta saw Lava bats guarding the door and said "And some guard dogs too... yep that's where you're hiding alright!"

Bayonetta then jumped on the wall and ran crossed as the lava bats took flight and flew at her but Bayonetta smirked and jummped off the wall and jumped from bat to bat while shooting from her gun clamped heels killing the bats when she jumps off. When Bayonetta reached the door she did the splits keeping her back towards the door as Bright eyes flew right under her and hopped around as Bayonetta said "You know girl kinda felt familiar doing that."

Bayonetta was standing in front of the door and said "Wait! I've gotta wear this!"

Bayonetta's umbra witch outfit was retracted to her hair as she put on a green tunic and had the replica of the master sword and said "I didn't want to ruin it until now but seeing I am in a fire temple might as well put it on..."

Bayonetta then kick the door opened as she saw a large arena like chamber with Bheithir upside down on the cave ceiling and said "Yeah I'm watching you too!"

Bayonetta then jumped into the arena and saw Valus on his knees with his arms chained up with hot red chains as a lava fall was behind him then Ghorn's voice was heard "NOW YOU PAY FOR SCARING GHORN'S FACE! GHORN WILL CRUSH YOU BUTCHER YOU AND GRIND YOU LIKE MEAT!"

Bayonetta then complimented "You know for a lava golem who can only speak in third person you did give me a handful. Weakening my dark power with holy light not too shabby but you should treat a lady like myself better."

The Ghorn laughed and said "GHORN WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER AS GHORN HAS SUFFERED!"

Then Ghorn jumped out of the lava fall and had no weapons and grinned as he walked up to Valus and placed his right hand on his head and said "GHORN WILL MAKE YOUR BLOOD BOIL UNTIL IT MAKES YOU POP!"

Value then grunted "Hmmmm..."

Bayonetta then teased "Don't worry darling I'll make it as quick as I can."

Value then grunted "Hmmmm..."

Ghorn then ripped the blacksmith mask off of Valus revealing a Maker with a short beard and bald head as Ghorn proceeded to punch Valus over and over until Valus's face began to glow red from the heat of Ghorn's fist. Ghorn then reached his right hand into then lava and pulled out his jagged lava sword and placed his left hand into the lava and pulled it out showing his hand that appeared to be a stub was now smoking. Ghorn then grunted as his hand cracked until it exploded into a spiked drill and laughed as shouted "FACE ME!"

Bayonetta then took stance with the sword and taunted "You begged for it!"

Ghorn then charged at Bayonetta as Bheithir observed, Ghorn swung his sword at Bayonetta who jumped over him and slashed his right shoulder which bled lava and made Ghorn roar in pain. Ghorn then shot his spiked drill out of his hand which had been chained to his arm and attempted to hit Bayonetta but missed as Bayonetta climbed onto his drill as it retracted back to his arm and sheet his arm off.

Ghorn roared int pain and he boiled and exploded and swirled into a lava tornado and nearly caught Bayonetta in it but he reconfigured as Lava bats, Corrupt angels and Corrupt constructs began to appear and tough with Ghorn. Bayonetta then thought "Too many of them and with my powers weakened I can't use Witch time... damn guess I've not choice."

Bayonetta then then danced and shouted "AVAVAGO!"

Then her hair extended as a summoning portal opened and the ancient giant dragon Gorromah roared but in full force as Bheithir hissed and dropped down as Bayonetta thought "Not again Gorromah!"

Gorromah had crushed the smaller enemies except for Ghorn as Bheithir crashed into the dragon and half of the arena had fallen with the two giant beasts that clawed and bit each other as they fell into the lava. Bayonetta then said "Now let's finish this!"

Bayonetta then threw the sword into Ghorn's chest and pulled out her guns shooting all of them at her sword as time seemingly slowed as each bullet had stacked onto each other and pushed the sword deeper into Ghorn who roared in great pain as Bayonetta dashed over and pulled the sword out and disarmed him. Horn had fall to his back with smoke erupting from his mouth and saw Bayonetta with the sword in hand who then asked "Any last words and don't take too long I've got a date with a Reaper!"

Ghorn then coughed and shed a lava tear and said "Do it free Ghorn from this evert lasting anger and hate..."

Bayonetta froze for a moment and said "What?"

Ghorn then grabbed Bayonetta's arms and forced her sword into the remaining half of his face and hissed as he said "Forgive Ghorn... creator..."

Ghorn then jerked Bayonetta's arms forcing her to break off the other half of his face as his arm fell lifeless and his lava blood fell out and no longer boiled but cooled off. Bayonetta had taken a few steps back and sat down as she thought "He wanted to die? He had so much pain that he did so many terrible things just to end his pain?"

Then Bheithir erupted from the lava as Gorromah emerged by climbing the cave walls like a lizard and the two beasts roared in the back ground as Bayonetta questioned "I shouldn't feel anything for this monster but that last act..."

Gorromah then chomped it's jaws into Bheithir's neck and the two fell back into the lava as Gorromah was pushed away by Bheithir's wing and Bheithir flew out of the lava and flew at Bayonetta who quickly grabbed her sword and jumped over the giant lava bat and had upper cute Bheithir's face which had split in half as she lifelessly rammed into the wall and caused the lava to fill the chamber once again but this time it would take the entire temple with it.

Bayonetta then ran to free Valus and the two jumped onto Gorromah's back as the dragon rammed through the arena entrance breaking the temple walls and charged through and broke through the first wall and bursted out the temple entrance with a roar. As Gorromah climbed onto of the cliff and Bayonetta with exhausted Valus saw the temple spewing lava she thought "Death was right my actions surely makes a difference..."

Bayonetta then turned to see Gorromah who looked up into the skies as Bayonetta followed and widened her eyes to see a giant planet with a giant yellow glowing eyes and jagged mouth and looked at her outfit and said "What a coincidence!"

To be continued

Ok more OC's but I like making OC's, after watching the final boss fight in Bayonetta 1 and saw how solar destructive it got... I felt taking that to a whole new level and making the final battle UNIVERSAL!

And if your:

A Legend of Zelda fan

or

Devil may cry fan

I made some references to both if you caught them, and yes Devil may cry is apart of the story but I am not working on that until after I'm done with both Bayonetta: a Journey with Death and Jeanne: a Quest to Redeem War.

And Jeanne's part of this story will start until after I've finished this Forge Lands Arc.
