Chapter 11 – You are the Dynamic J! Cutie J!
OST Played and Switched: Red & Black – Bayonetta OST
Verse 1 - Cutie J Start!
The Amarda Resplendence roared, commanding its fellow Resplendences to unleash a huge barrage of Gjallarhorn Missiles right towards Otonokizaka Academy!
Cutie J grinned as she let her hair down, unleasheda huge burst of energy that surrounded her in a glowing purple aura, and walked calmly towards the seraphims threatening to attack.
"Try me! Go, Bloody Moon!" Cutie J grinned as her red sabre glowed intensely.
Tyhe Gracious and Glorious troops lunged towards aCutie J, brandishing their claws and ready to attack.
The grinning masked witch then swiftly brandished her sabre deftly, unleashing large charged slashes with each strike, followed by numerous uppercut slashes, cross slashes, several sweeping slashes, and swiftly finishing off the missiles handily with a giant pirouette slash!
"WHAT?" the Amarda bellowed in shock.
Before anyone can react, Cutie J swiftly activated her Witch Time, transformed into a Lynx, leapt across the skies using the destroyed missile parts as her platform, bypassed the Amarda's defence, and kicked it in the face!
"Stand…" Cutie J grinned as she unleashed a huge barrage of intense arcane bullets, from her pistols attached onto her feet, right in front of the Amarda's face! "So you shall fall!"
The Amarda aimed its railgun towards Cutie J in an attempt to blast her away, but Cutie J managed to leap onto the ship's body, brandished out her Bloody Moon in its permanently charged state, and unleashed a huge sweeping slash that connected and erased the railguns' beams at the exact same time it was released!
Mrs Minami's jaws dropped.
"How in the…?" Hoto Minami softly replied in disbelief. "How in the world can she be that fast in attacking?"
"How is she able to do that…alone?" Mrs Yazawa gasped.
"The Umbran Witches are normally that powerful…but to even cut through a beam made of pure energy from a railgun?" Saiai replied in surprise as her eyes widened in shock.
Before anyone can even reply, the Amarda commanded the rest of the Resplendence fleet to unleash a huge barrage of axe-shaped wheels towards Cutie J, but the masked superhero grinned, swiftly returned the favour by swinging her Blood moon like a baseball bat, swiftly synchronised the blade's body with one of the axe wheels, and blast them back towards the rest of the axe shaped wheels - damaging them heavily!
"WATCH OUT!" Mrs Minami screamed; several more artillery missiles were heading J's way!
Just when they thought that the missiles had really caught Cutie J off guard, the masked heroine swiftly burst into a cloud of moths, gathered back as one entity, and unleashed a huge ripple of purple as time slowed to an absolute crawl!
"Go! All 4 One!"
Cutie J swiftly whipped out her custom made pistols with silvery arcane orbs attached to each of them, twirled them around in a pirouette, swiftly unleashed a huge storm of bullets that connected themselves towards each axe wheels in rows of twenty each, swiftly killing them in a bloody explosion of death!
"Witch Time…" Mrs Nishikino's eyes widened at Cutie J's mastery of Witch Time; almost as powerful as that of Bayonetta herself!
"M…Mommy? W…What happened? Everything happened so fast!" Cotaro clutched her mother by her shoulders, slightly frightened, but at the same time, mesmerized by how Cutie J dispatched her enemies.
"S…She's fighting baddies, Cotaro. But…but just how? Everything happened so quickly…" Mrs Yazawa shook her head in disbelief; it all happened within a fraction of a second!
"Badddies? Really, mommy?" Cocoro replied, she too clutched firmly at Mrs Yazawa's right hand.
"Y...yes. The angels are destroying our lands, and that Cutie J is protecting us by fighting them. But how is it...how is it even possible to do such feats?" Mrs Yazawa shook her head in disbelief.
"She look so cool doing it, mommy!"
Another barrage of Gjallarhorn missiles headed towards Cutie J's way, but she swiftly leapt towards one of the leading missiles, surfed upon the missile itself, and redirected the rest of the missiles' pathway towards the leading missile as Cutie J swiftly turned tail, surfed straight, and jumped just as the barrages hit straight towards the Amarda Resplendence's face!
"Yeah!" Cutie J taunted.
"So this is the Umbran Prodigy that had been described in the ancient text that Antonio-sensei had written…"Mrs Nishikino looked on, knowing at the very least who that 'Cutie J' was.
"W…Wait…Umbran Prodigy?" Mrs Yazawa shot back.
The Armada Resplendence charged up large amounts of light energy upon its particle cannon situated at its bottom keel, ready to blast Otonokizaka into oblivion, but Cutie J ain't having any of that crap.
"OXEX RACLIR!"
Swirls of white hair that made up her suit soon unravelled till only her god-diva hair were left, materialising an immensely long and slithering centipede demon with skulls adorning the back of its head and spikes running down the length of its body. It also had multiple blue, possessed a set of powerful mandibles, and spikes running down the length of its body.
Its screeches pierced the skies, bringing upon chills to even the Resplendences, and even the four mothers witnessing the majestic creature firsthand…
"C…C…CENTIPEDE?!" Mrs Minami's eyes widened in absolute shock at the gigantic creature; a half dragon, half centipede beast that brought chills down everyone's spines.
Eradicator of Paradise
INFERNAL DEMON – SCOLOPENDRA
The huge centipede demon obeyed on Cutie J's command as it swiftly constricted upon the Amarda's body, much to the latter's shock, and constricted the angelic ship's form with its draconic body. Bones, overloaded tech, and mini explosions shattered the skies as the Eradicator of Paradise swiftly crushed the Amarda into a bloody mess, allowing the energy cannon to fully implode and destroy the ship for good!
The Infernal Centipede soon twirled around like a dragon ruling the skies, speeding through and impaling several more Kinships and Resplendences, and crushing their mechanics and weaponry through sheer force from its body and mandibles alone.
"Ouch...that's gotta hurt!" Mrs Kousaka winced.
A giant Beloved descended from the skies in attempt to get in a revenge kill, but Cutie J smirked as she activated her Witch Time, swiftly brought out her All 4 One, activated her Witch Time, dashed straight behind a Beloved, and unleashed a huge fist made out of white hair. Cutie J then swiftly proceeded to unleash several mid-air roundhouse kicks, pistol whipping, arc slashes, sweeping punches, uppercuts, hooks, and vice grips via her All 4 One.
Cutie J then swiftly cancelled her vice grip via a mid air flip, landed on the ground, wielded two of her pistols right in front of her while she twist her body around like a ballerina, started peppering the Beloved with large amounts of hold shots, then swiftly turned around as she extend her right arm in front, tilted her left pistol sideways while arching her left shoulders close to her face, and unleashed a huge sweeping motion of globe-shaped bullet storms towards her victims!
The enraged Beloved charged straight towards the masked heroine, but she smirked, swiftly cut herself from the hold shot combo, swiftly brandished her Bloody Moon, synchronised a perfect parry from the Beloved's axe swing, proceeded to teleport around in multiple directions while performing cross slashes, pirouettes, flipsaws, brandishes, sweeping slashes, uppercut slashes, and even utilized her pair of All 4 One on her feet to unleash numerous flurries of high heel kicks made out of white hair!
Cutie J then swiftly whipped out her All 4 One on her hands, proceeded to unleashed huge arcane spherical bullets in numerous gun kata positions, damaging the Beloved greatly. The Beloved attempted a huge swing, but the masked heroine burst into a cloud of moth once more, activated her Witch Time, swiftly unleashed a double roundhouse kick to trip it up, unleashed a huge heel stomp attack, followed by a large Tetsuzanko Punch at the same time as the heel stomp, and ensnarling it with Vlitra!
"Swing it good, baby!"
Cutie J gave a short shout as she swung the Beloved straight towards the skies, where she then swiftly whipped out her All 4 One on her hands once more, activated her Witch Time yet again, and unleashed huge barrages of highly concentrated arcane bullets upon its exposed chest. As soon as the temporal technique wore off, the bullets swiftly blasted the giant Beloved with such force that it crushed the nearby Resplendences, destroying them like several bowling pins!
The giant Beloved came back swiftly towards her like a ball, but Cutie J swiftly charged up large amounts of arcane energy, and simply kicked it once again like a soccer ball straight towards another group of newly replaced Resplendences, severely damaging them and disfiguring them in the process, and killing off the Beloved for good!
"Ssssstrike!" Cutie J grinned.
"Bullets pushing a giant…kicking angels like a football...what is this I don't even…" Mrs. Yazawa's eyes spiralled around in dizziness as she tried to comprehend the epic that was going on!
"And I thought I have seen it all…" Mrs Minami stammered.
"How can she be that...that powerful?" Mrs Kousaka gasped.
Almost immediately, some of the Resplendences shone down rays of light upon the battlefield, summoning numerous seraphims that were almost look alike Grace and Glory, except they were coated with ornate jewels, its whole body white covered with intricate gold patterns revelling throughout their bodies.
"Ah...Gracious and Glorious! I was getting bored with all those Grace and Glory hanging about, nice to see you all taking their place!" Cutie J grinned as she swiftly kicked one of the charging Glorious towards another group of similar looking seraphims!
An enraged Gracious flared up and unleashed a huge sweeping flame pillar towards Cutie J, but the masked superhero leapt up, activated her Witch Time, sent herself flying deliberately towards the pillar of fire, burst into a cloud of moths, activated Witch Time, ensnarled the attacking Gracious, and pulled the helpless angel into the skies!
"Col. Slade!"
Cutie J then switched her pair of All 4 One for a pair of bazookas upon her feet, similar to that of Bayonetta's Lt Col Kilgore, then unleashed two swift roundhouse kicks and a huge rocket blasting and burning through its thick plated body, damaging it heavily like it was nothing!
Cutie J then unleashed a flurry of kicks and a huge Wicked Weave kick that sent the Gracious diagonally down. She then activated her Witch Time to grapple the helpless angel back up again, slugged her with a couple of gun kata punches, then sent it flying down once more with a giant cross slash via her Bloody Moon!
A big Glorious attempted to lunge towards Cutie J to zap her down, but the masked Umbran Witch anticipated her surroundings and swiftly dodged mid-air via a graceful backflip. She then swiftly transformed into a red feathered owl, blitzed past the attacking Glorious, activated her Witch Time for just a split second, stunned the enemy with a giant rocket blast from her feet, brandished her Bloody Moon to commence the stun lock, delivered several high speed cross slashes, and ended off with a flurry of kicks that released five big rockets to compliment its huge destruction piled upon said Glorious!
"Am I seeing things? How is she attacking so fast with a katana that long?" Mrs Yazawa looked on in shock.
"Such speed...am I not just seeing silhouettes?" Mrs Kousaka followed.
"To think she's able to keep up with numerous speedy angels at their limits...incredible..." Mrs Nishikino commented.
Another Glorious unleashed a huge electrical shock across the floor towards Cutie J, but the masked witch swiftly leapt into the air to dodge the surge, transformed into an owl once more, summoned numerous feather missiles surrounding her, transformed back to herself to offset her combo, dashed straight towards the angel, swiftly transformed into a Lynx and swiftly transformed back into her normal form in time to deliver a giant Wicked Weave kick in the kisser!
"ALCRETE!"
Cutie J summoned a huge vice out of an Umbran Portal, trapped the Glorious inside its claws, and crushed the struggling angels in no time, crushing it in a paste of halos and blood!
Cutie J picked up the Glorious's Angel Arms - a pair of golden claws draped with electricity, rose up to the air, charged up large amounts of electricity, slammed the floor, and unleashed large amounts of electrical towers straight towards the Gracious troops, blasting them towards the other side of the battle field and breaking through their armor for massive damage!
As soon as the Gracious troops picked themselves up, Cutie j swiftly appeared right behind them via a swift dash via her owl form, slugged several of them into the air via a giant Wicked Weave Uppercut, leapt into the air, and unleashed numerous storm of cuts and slashes in numerous directions, slicing them up like ribbons!
Several more Gracious and Glorious descended from the skies, but the masked heroine materialised a giant emerald triple-bladed scythe that looked really familiar to Bayonetta's Chernobog , twirled around in a giant Wicked Blade pirouette, and unleashed Mictlantecuhtli drilling the seraphims from the ground below via an Umbran Portal!
"Did...did she just summon a giant bat?" Mrs Minami gasped.
"Such are the abilities of Umbran Witches...summoning powerful demons from the depths of Inferno, some even famed to have destroyed many celestial objects in their lifetime." Mrs Nishikino nodded. "Mictlantecuhtli, according to Antonio-sensei's notebook, was said to have the capabilities of drilling through many seemingly impossible to break defences, even when it seems unbreakable by normal circumstances."
"I am not dreaming up this spectacle...am I?" Mrs Yazawa shook her head.
The blades swiftly sliced through the seraphims armours and limbs, while the Presser of Destruction gracefully twirled itself and spread its wings as it crushed the bones of the unfortunate angels into smithereens! The remaining survivors were swiftly greeted by a huge Wicked Blade whirlwind via Cutie J's pirouette whirlwind, slicing them into bits and pieces for the hands of Inferno to claim.
Assuming that Cutie J was distracted by all the fighting, the Amarda Resplendence commanded the rest of the fleet to fire away at the mothers present - Mrs Minami included - much to their shock, but even more when Cutie J swiftly caught the enemies off-guard by summoning Malphas!
"ADRPAN!" (Cast Down in Enochian)
A huge white raven - with one large eyes, three smaller ones necklace full of skulls draped around its neck, a red crescent moon as its forehead crown, sharp red talons, elegant red wings, and three long tails - swiftly spread her wings and drilled past the rockets, slicing them with razor sharp winds and erasing them completely in the process!
"EMNA OL OXEX RACLIR!"
After unleashing numerous amounts of crimson globe shots towards the fleet as retaliation, damaging them heavily in the process, Cutie J clicked her right fingers once more to summon a giant white arachnid demon - Phantasmaranae - right above several Resplendences and crushed them with its belly!
Enraged, the Armada Resplendence called forth a pair of giant Gravitas and Urbane to charge towards Cutie J, who slowly walked towards them calmly.
"Right on point!"
Cutie J swiftly launched a sudden and huge comet kick that sent out a huge white Wicked Weave Boot kick that slugged the Urbane with such force that the shockwave blew Gravitas off its standing ground too!
The Urbane managed to dodge out of harms way despite its gigantic body mass and attempted to counter Cutie J with a huge hammer swing, but the masked Witch swiftly locked on towards the Second Sphere Virtues, burst into a cloud of moth to throw the Urbane off, darted herself towards the Virtue, slashed it with a giant pistol whip attack called Stiletto, activated Witch Time, and unleashed a storm of cuts right upon the Virtue's body!
"Quit wasting my time!"
Cutie J swiftly dashed towards the Urbane's back , unleashed several large Wicked Weave Punches covered in red and black arcane energy orbs, and ended off with Cutie J summoning Hydra to drill through the Virtues in a tornado-like fashion!
"FUCK OFF!"
Cutie J leapt into the air, charged up her All 4 One in a dense purple aura, and summoned a large purple toad with big red eyes, a crown adorned with numerous rubies and skulls, and a long tongue filled with spikes. Said toad spat out a huge globe of toxic slime globe that blasted through and melted its armour, incurring massive damage and sent it flying straight towards a few Resplendences and Kinships, promptly destroying them in the process!
Empress of the Fathoms
INFERNAL DEMON - BAAL
"W...Wait a minute! How is she able to do that? Summoning a toad with her hair?" Mrs Yazawa's eyes widened in shock once more, this time at the demon's revelation.
"Infernal Demons...creatures of Inferno bearing immeasurable amounts of power under the hands of someone powerful; their responsibilities are simple - kill those corrupted angels, the end." Mrs Nishikino frowned.
Numerous Acceptances descended from the skies, followed by numerous Applauds, and backed up by four big Ardors.
Cutie J laughed as she taunted them, "You motherfucker!"
The masked Witch knew that no matter what happened, a diversion would be created to destroy the four ladies, and so swiftly stood right in front of them, bent down, drew a huge Umbran Circle with her legs, and materialised a huge spherical circle that shielded them all.
Cutie J's soul swiftly leapt out of the barrier, kicked one of the Applauds on its face, and slammed her down with her crotch and her legs wide open!
"Now...let the real fun begin!" Cutie J smirked.
Mrs Minami's eyes widened in shock and replied, "Wait...you mean to say she hasn't been unleashing her full power?"
Cutie J slipped on her Gaze of Despair, drawing the angels attention towards her as she began a straight up bullet storm filled with gun katas and graceful dodges so swift, the Ardors themselves barely had time to catch up!
One of the Ardors managed to catch a glimpse and unleashed a stinger attack, but Cutie J burst into a cloud of moth and forced the Ardor to commit what was essentially a friendly fire; stabbing upon multiple Applauds like a skewed kebab!
In Witch Time, Cutie J swiftly launched the Ardor into the skies via a huge Wicked Weave Uppercut, sent it flying even higher via an Afterburner Kick, unleashed a flurry of punch combos, followed by a double roundhouse kick, and sent it flying straight down towards a charging group of Ardors, Acceptances and Applauds !
Cutie j then activated her Witch time once more, brought out a giant hammer that was similar to Bayonetta's Takemikazuchi - only whiter and lighter to match J's style - charged it up, and swiftly brought down the pain in a huge crash of lightning, followed by a giant Hecktaconcheir's mighty slam which brought immense crushing force upon the angels' bones and muscles!
A giant Ardor charged towards the barrier, attempting to have a go at damaging the barrier, but Cutie J activated her Witch Time, and lassoed the son of a gun with Vlitra.
"Bitch, please!"
Cutie J swung the Ardor around rodeo style, proceeded to slam him down, kick him in the butt once to pin him down, and proceeded to slap its butt with the whip by her right hand!
"She did not just did that!" Mrs Yazawa's jaws dropped.
"I think she might be enjoying herself, if only a bit too much..." Mrs Minami followed, her eyes widened in surprise at the development despite awed by J's power.
"I guess it is her way of treating her foes with utter disregard...or maybe just a way to show her confidence...or maybe she's plain into having fun with those angels. But still...to bypass the Ardor's defense with a hint of fault, amazing..." Mrs Nishikino looked on in awe.
"I think it's already a feat to face those angels without any hint of fear at all...it's like those angels are worth nothing to her!" Mrs Kousaka reckoned.
Sparing no mercy in enjoying the fight, Cutie J swiftly dodged an incoming fire wave unleashed by another Ardor, dropped to her knees, rotated in slow motion before shooting into the air while twisting rapidly, and unleashing a giant Wicked Weave Punch that sent her enemies flying into the air. The masked Witch then unleashed a huge Wicked Weave Heel Stomp and a Wicked Punch just split seconds after the Heel Stomp itself; little to no delay was given in between as the smackdown crushed the weak Applauds and Affinities apart, and obliterated what was left of the weakened Ardors!
Several Acceptances, though weakened, attempted to rush in for a final charge, but Cutie J smirked and twisted around.
"EX FA!" (Vomit Power in Enochian)
As soon as the chant echoed through the skies Baal leapt out of a giant Umbran Portal once more, lashed out her spike-filled tongue at the Acceptances, wrapped them all in one large sum, wrapped them in to crush their bones, hurled it towards the ground several times, and swallowed them whole like a delicious rice cake!
A giant Fairness popped out of the ground, roared, and soon charged towards a seemingly unsuspecting Cutie J, but the masked Witch smirked, attached her Moon of Mahha-Kahlaa, swiftly performed a well-timed synchronised parry, activated Witch Time, unleashed several brandishes and slashes via her Bloody Moon, unleashed flurry of kicks and rocket blasts via her Col. Slade, and slammed it into one of the trees with a Wicked Weave Kick!
The Fairness, enraged via the Gaze of Despair, got up swiftly to lunge towards Cutie J, but the masked witch unleashed a huge Bloody Moon iaijutsu slash to trip the Canine Angel over its feet and sent it crashing towards a huge wall connecting into Otonokizaka Academy, dizzied!
Cutie j swiftly followed up with a huge stinger with her Bloody Moon, launched the Fairness with an uppercut, unleashed an Afterburner Kick, and released a giant rocket via her pair of Col Slade attached upon her feet that crushed the mighty dominion alive!
A few more Affinities and Applauds soon appeared, but their ends were swiftly met as Cutie J whipped out her All 4 One, crossed her arms, began shooting several bullets, twirled around to cross her pistols behind her back, twirled towards the opposite side with both pistols on the front, spread out her arms like a falcon, twirled her pistols one time, activated her Witch time, and ended off her combo with a massive breakdance, all while unleashing highly concentrated bullet storms that tore through every single Affinities, Applauds, Gracious and Glorious , and even the remaining Urbanes!
As for the remaining Gravitas? They were soon greeted with a swift slice across their torso by a giant iaijutsu slash thanks to Cutie J's Bloody Moon!
"I...Incredible..." Mrs Kousaka's jaws dropped upon witnessing Cutie J's style, power, and fervour in dispatching the enemies effortlessly.
"It's her...I know it's her, I could not be more right!" Mrs Nishikino's voice rose with a tinge of excitement at her confirmation of Cutie J's possible identity.
"W...Wait, you know who that Cutie J might be?" Mrs Minami gasped.
Cutie J landed on the floor and spread her arms out wide, with spot lights shining upon her in all her glory.
"Seriously, Chris. Is that all you've got? I swear that those motherfuckers I fought last time put up more of a fight than the hopeless schmucks I am fighting now!" Cutie J smirked.
"Since I cannot get rid of Mrs Minami...then I will destroy the ones close to her! EVERYTHING!"
Without any hesitation, the Armada Resplendence charged amounts of arcane energies aboard its rooftop, and unleashed it towards the skies as a barrage of lightning and missiles made out of hard light descended upon Otonokizaka Academy!
"NO! OUR SCHOOL!" Mrs Minami's eyes widened in shock and horror; the other moms' irises shrunk with absolute horror - even with cutie J's power...there was nothing she could do...right?
WRONG.
Cutie J's eyes glowed red; she was not having any of it!
"OXEX RACLIR, ZAMRAN MAD HOMIL NANAEEL!"
Gomorrah soon emerged out of the Umbran Portal via Cutie J's white hair as a conduit; but this time as its full body incarnation instead of just its head as a summon alone!
"The Devourer of the Divine..." Mrs Nishikino's spine tingled as her legs became jelly and nearly collapsed on the floor.
Yes, for even the bravest of all humans would be scared shitless at the very sight of the zombie dragon of extreme power, might, and notoriety.
Its jaws so large, that it can be comparable to that of the Universal hatred itself...
Its eyes so red, one could mistake it for just a being of absolute anarchy and the incarnation of total, abject chaos.
Its intimidation spoke for itself; its roar shattered the once peaceful town's silence. A roar of power...
The Devourer of the Divine leapt towards the barrage of dancing missiles, promptly swallowed them in one go, crunched several Resplendences all in one go - including the Armada Resplendence - and unleashed a huge blast of fire - reflected via his guts - thanks to the Gjallarhorn Misssiles' fuel!
"A...Amazing..." Mrs Kousaka's jaws dropped upon witnessing what she amounted to be a miracle; no other ordinary person would have the ability to pull off such a miraculous protection, surely!
"How is she able to pull this off...?" Mrs Minami shook her head in disbelief, her eyes and her expression said it all – disbelief and relief.
Relief that her school was saved; disbelief that someone would be THAT STRONG and confident to pull this miracle off...
To Cutie J, maybe it was not, but to Mrs Minami alone...
Just who was she?

"I...Impossible! I thought I had this all planned...This,...This is not in the equation! Impossible!"
"Plan? You mean to kill Mrs Minami?" Cutie J smirked. "Please, give me a break, will ya? Has hatred clouded you so much that you refused to see the truth? Do you need a good smack in your face to take you out of your misery?"
"All I want...was for Team Muse to return...and your sister thwarted it! Your Umbran Sister Bayonetta! This all happened because Mrs Minami sent them for the exposure concert in the first place!"
"Just because someone organised the exposure concert for Muse doesn't means she is to be blamed! We never even knew that Cereza will appear at New York singing 'As Times Go By' in the streets during her fateful encounter with Honoka!" Cutie J called Chris out. "And besides, there is nothing inherently bad about the exposure concert and Mrs Minami's decision to implement it; you just choose to succumb to grief and your fear, instead of standing up and fighting for your beliefs!"
"So you are telling me that you never felt grief when your entire clan died? IS IT?" Chris's words echoed through the skies; her sorrow caused thunders rumbling in reply.
"As long as Cereza and I exist, the Pride of the Umbra will still go on!" Cutie J boasted. "As long as the Umbra exists, we will protect Humanity for as long as time will allow! I choose not to let grief overtake me, so does Cereza, and look at where it got us today!"
"Then...will it pain to see your identity exposed to the world, now that I know who you are?" Chris's sorrowful laughter echoed through the skies, eager to 'break' Cutie J's spirit. "Will it allow you to see my perspective? To let you understand the pain I have gone through...the pain of losing everything that you have? Your legend? Your legacy? The end of your supposed 'Cutie J?'"
Cutie J shrugged and sighed. "Great...attempting to pull me down to your level; when will you lots ever, EVER learn?"
"I will make you learn this instead! The end of your career! Your shattered dreams! UMBRA WITCH - JEANNE!"
Mrs Yazawa, her kids, Mrs Kousaka, and Mrs Minami's eyes widened in astonishment; Mrs Minami in particular...
"J...Jeanne? Wait...the History Teacher whom students have claimed to make History Lessons 'extraordinary spectacular' and not dry? The one who came into Otonokizaka a year ago?!" Mrs Minami gasped.
"I Knew it..." Mrs Nishikino sighed softly.
"Wait...you knew?" Mrs Yazawa shot out.
"In record, only two Umbran Witches are left in the world. Bayonetta and Jeanne; there is no record of a third Umbran Witch ever - the Witch Hunts made sure of that. If that isn't enough...records have shown that Jeanne is the only Umbran Witch in history to have white hair since birth - a sign of her status as a prodigy." Mrs Nishikino explained. "That...and she referred to Bayonetta's true name – Cereza – with tones of great respect, loyalty, and affection; how could it not be her?"
"You mean...Jeanne...the one whom the students of Otonokizaka have grew to love her during the past one year...and Cutie J, the one who have been defeating the evil angels at the same time frame...are one and the same?" Mrs Minami replied.
Mrs Nishikino nodded.
Mrs Minami's mind clicked; no wonder Jeanne was so strong to begin with!
After Aesir's destruction and the 'Godoka and Homucifer incident', Jeanne resumed her life as a History teacher, this time deciding to expand her career over to Otonokizaka during that time.
Throughout this one year, reports have been circulating about a mysterious lady wearing a menma have been prowling around saving the citizens of Otonokizaka – especially the students – from mysterious angelic attacks from above, and also other crimes that may befall on her students.
Chris's sorrowful laughter rumbled the skies once more, feeling confident that she would truly break Jeanne's spirit this time; that she would get the Umbran Prodigy to see what sorrow felt...and tasted.
The masked Jeanne shook her head, sighed deeply in disappointment, and shrugged.
"Your fellow Left Eye, the one whom you called Bayonetta, is getting more attention than you...so wouldn't you think it is a pity that she is slowly distancing herself from you, especially after you gone through so much just to protect your 'beloved' Left Eye, just because she is becoming closer and closer to Muse?" Chris continued and smirked, thinking that she finally had the Umbran Prodigy by her hand. "Seeing it must have stirred some form of jealousy in you, is it? That she will distance herself away from you and be a friend to Muse more than then she be a friend to you!"
The Umbran Prodigy held her right All 4 One Pistol up in the air and fired a shot, silencing everyone, startling even Chris.
"You know something...Chris? I don't really care much about my identity as Cutie J been exposed!" Jeanne smirked. "Nor do I care about Cereza distancing herself from me, because we both know that this is definitely not possible!"!
Chris took a step back, her eyes widened in slight shock.
"What?" Chris stammered.
"Cereza and I have gone a long way back; ever since we are young, our friendship that's forged from over 500 plus years worth of chaos is what makes us stand together despite the odds, and conquer them as we go! I have no need to worry for such an unfortunate distancing event, simply because I trust my Umbran Sister to do the right thing!" Jeanne declared.
"What? How is it...you are not afraid?" Chris's widened in shock and horror.
"Because I stand up and accept my fate as the next heir to the Umbran Throne, for I am willing to die protecting the last of the Umbran Way, and protect Humanity from the likes of evil!" Jeanne grinned. "For the Left Eye must be perfect in her Darkness, so too shall I do what I can as the Heir to the Umbran Throne! I know who I am, am confident of my own abilities to not be boggled down by some petty worry of friends distancing themselves away from me!"
"I 'm here to reclaim Otonokizaka's pride, and with it, the Pride of the Umbra - protecting Humanity!"
Mrs Minami looked on, her eyes set upon the Umbran Prodigy's graceful figure, silently admiring Jeanne's determination to set things right despite unmasking her identity. Even more so, since she realised that it was the white hair Umbran Witch who saved Otonokizaka academy, her students, and the town in general in countless occasions during the one year!
Jeanne then clapped her hands twice as the barrier surrounding the moms dissipated into thin air and Jeanne merged back with her physical body.
"The problem with you is that you succumb to grief way too easily; you let it cloud your thinking, your judgement! As someone who had faced the slaughter of the entire Umbran Clan, including my parents, during the Great Witch Hunts of 500 Years Ago, I can safely say that there will be someone who is just as worst, if not, faced an even worst situation then you bloody hell did!"Cutie J - Jeanne shot back.
