Ren and Bayonetta are standing outside of the Smash Church of Seiros. This is the first time that either of them has ever seen the church. They never really paid attention when the building was very created when Byleth and Beth came into the Smash Realm. Ren didn't really seem intrigued about going inside. Church wasn't really a thing for him. Bayonetta, however, wanted to see what this church was all about.

Ren turns to Bayonetta. "Any reason why you wanted to come here Mommy?" He asks.

"Because I have a connection with churches. Your mummy used to be a part time nun." Bayonetta reveals.

Ren raises his eyebrow in surprise. "Wait. You? A nun?" He pauses for a moment to ponder on it. "You?!" He points to Bayonetta.

Bayonetta puts her hands on her hips and glares at Ren. "What? You don't believe that I could be a nun?"

"Well considering what you're known for usually. I-" Ren stops what he was saying when he sees his mother staring dagger into him. Any further words could result in a nasty spanking if he says the wrong thing. Ren turns away from his mother. "N-Nevermind that. I-I'm just surprised that's all." He rubs the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Right. Let's get going."

Bayonetta and Ren enter inside of the church. There was no one sitting on the pews and no music playing. Bayonetta admired the decor of the church while Ren had his eyes focused at Rhea staring in the middle of the chapel looking up at the window.

Ren and Bayonetta approach Rhea. "Hello there. Are you in charge of the Church here?" Bayonetta asks.

Rhea turns around and sees the two smashers. "Oh!" She places her hand on her chest. "I wasn't expecting to have any visitors today, but visitors are always welcome." She smiles. "I am Lady Rhea. I am the head of the church here, and the archbishop of Fodlan. Pleased to meet you both. Welcome to our church."

"A pleasure to meet you as well. Everyone here calls me Bayonetta. This is my son. Ren Amamiya." The Umbran Witch introduces.

Ren bows to Rhea. "Hello."

"What brings you two to our church today? Did it simply catch your eye or do you have questions about what this church is about?" Rhea questions.

"It caught my eye. I have a connection with churches myself. I used to be a nun for a short amount of time." Bayonetta answers.

Rhea's ears perked up. "A nun? I see. Spreading the word of your God or Goddess to the world and helping others." The archbishop smiles. "That is always nice. Back in Fodlan, I too had followers who spread the word of the Progenitor God Sothis. For everyone to recognize how wonderful my mother is."

"Sothis?" Ren raises an eyebrow. "Do you mean the same Sothis that's always with Byleth and Beth?"

Rhea nods. "That is correct. I assume you've spoken with them before."

Ren nods. "I have. Really nice people. I just never expected a Goddess to be so...tiny. Although, I guess its not too out of the ordinary considering where we are." He comments.

"Yes. My mother is a joyous and loving person. So is Byleth. Such a sweet soul. Back in Fodlan, he always did his best to make sure his students were safe. He is also a very formidable warrior. His students look up to him." Rhea smiles.

"Nothing nice to say about Beth?" Bayonetta questions.

"Beth and I are not on good terms with each other. I do not blame her one bit. However, I have no ill feelings towards her. She is just as kind as her brother in her own special way. I do not wish to get much into detail about things. It is a very personal matter between the Eisners, my mother, and me."

Bayonetta and Ren exchanged looks at each other. They wondered what sort of secrets the archbishops had. What was her relationship with Byleth and Beth? Did she have some involvement with Sothis being with the Eisner twins? Outside, Rhea looked like a harmless and peaceful archbishop. Who knows what kind of person Rhea really is?

"What are you hiding, archbishop? You may look innocent right now, but I've seen enough adult films and books to know you're probably not all holy." Bayonetta comments to herself.

"Lady Rhea." A female voice calls as she comes into the chapel.

Bayonetta and Ren's eyes widened when they saw who entered the chapel. It was Kamui. Kamui turns to see Bayonetta and Ren looking at her. Kamui felt her body tensing up looking at the Umbran Witch. Bayonetta kept a very stoic expression looking at Kamui. However, she noticed something different about the half dragon. Kamui didn't have her usual glare of resentment and hatred that the Umbran Witch was used to, she was more highly strung. Ren could feel the intensity between the two women. He may have changed Kamui's heart, but he was worried about what would happen between the half dragon and the Umbran Witch.

Kamui straightens up and clears her throat. "My apologies." She bows to Lady Rhea. "I didn't mean to interrupt your conversation."

"It is quite alright Kamui. Do you require my assistance?" Rhea asks.

Kamui shakes her head. "Not me, but Seteth does. He said it was urgent."

Rhea nods. "I see. I will excuse myself then." She turns to Bayonetta and Ren. "I hope I will see you both more in our church." The archbishop leaves the chapel.

"What are you doing here Kamui?" Ren asks.

Kamui turns to Ren. "O-Oh. I'm actually working here. I asked Lady Rhea if she could allow me to work with her...for guidance. I've never prayed before but...it feels oddly calming and relieving. I'm not really sure what I'm praying to, but it gives me some sense of hope. I've also been speaking with Seteth to help me with my mental health. It's hard opening up now, but Seteth is very patient with me." Kamui looks away shyly, rubbing her arm. "I'm taking things one step at a time."

Ren smiles. Hearing that Kamui was trying to get help made him happy. "It'll be hard, but I know you can time." He says.

Bayonetta was confused here. She puts her hand up. "Alright. Something is strange here." She points to Kamui. "You. Where is that look of hatred you have in your eyes whenever I'm around? Where is that venom in your voice that you always have? Who is this person standing in front of me?" She questions.

Kamui turns to Bayonetta. "It's me. Kamui. Yes...that used to be me, but I'm trying to change that horrible person I once was. Bayonetta. I'm sorry." She says solemnly.

Bayonetta tilts her head and raises an eyebrow. She couldn't believe what was just said to her from Kamui. This was the last thing she thought she would ever hear from Kamui.

"Did you say you're sorry? Did you also refer to me by my name and not "that witch"?" The Umbran Witch shakes her head. "Did you hit her head or something? Is this some sort of prank?" She questioned.

Kamui shakes her head. "Please! I promise I'm not trying to steer you wrong. I'm sorry. I mean it." The half dragon lowers her head. "I have been very hateful and spiteful towards you because of your relationship with Corrin. You took away the only person who depended on me. I hated you. I wanted to kill you. I wished the absolute worst upon you because of my feelings towards Corrin. I was selfish. I was a twisted individual. I don't want to be that person anymore. Seteth told me that in order for me to grow, I must not let the shackles of the past keep me locked up. If I'm going to start moving on…" Kamui looks back up at Bayonetta. "I must confront you. So I'm apologizing to you for the way I've treated you."

Bayonetta wasn't sure how to process this. Ever since she first arrived in the Smash Realm, Kamui has always had a disdain for her. Kamui hated everything about her. Now here she was apologizing to her. The Umbran Witch felt a sense of remorse and guilt within her. She knew that it wasn't all Kamui's fault. That she played a huge part in Kamui turning as hateful as she was.

Bayonetta sighed. "Well…" The Umbran Witch folds her arm. "I didn't really give you any reasons to like me. I was a cocky bitch. I manipulated Corrin. I insulted your mother. I'm responsible for Rinkushu and Corrin Daku and abandoning Corrin and Cana in another future. I cheated on Corrin with Cloud...who was your boyfriend. I haven't been much of a good person either."

"No. You haven't." Kamui states bluntly.

Bayonetta couldn't help but feel a little irritated about Kamui's reiterating what she already knew, but she didn't blame her. "What you've done doesn't compare to what I've done. A simple "I'm sorry" is not going to make up for all the shit I've done." She shakes her head.

"It won't. I can't forgive you for the things you've done, but I am willing to move on from it. Saying sorry will at least be a start."

Bayonetta rubs the back of her head. "Alright. I'm sorry Kamui about everything. About me." The Umbran Witch extends her hand to Kamui. "Bury the hatchet?"

Kamui nods. "Yes." The half dragon shakes Bayonetta's hand.

Ren just kept silent throughout the entire thing. He did feel relieved that things didn't go south. Not only that, but Bayonetta and Kamui were able to reconcile their differences. Years worth of animosity was finally being put to rest. It only made him wonder what is to come in the future.

Kamui releases Bayonetta's hand. "If only Cloud was here. I want to apologize to him as well." She says solemnly. "Wherever he is, I hope he comes back from his journey safely."

"So do I…" Bayonetta says solemnly.

The Umbran Witch turns around and begins making her way out of the church. Ren turns to Kamui.

"I'll see you later Kamui. I hope things work out for you." The teen smiles.

Kamui bows. "Thank you Ren. We shall speak again another time when I'm not so busy."

Ren waves goodbye and leaves out of the church. When Ren gets outside, he sees Bayonetta staring up to the sky with a saddened expression.

"Mommy? Are you okay?" Ren asks with concern.

Bayonetta shakes her head. "She shouldn't have said sorry to me. I don't deserve it." She weakly laughs. "You heard all that I did. What is wrong with me? I cheated on my boyfriend with her boyfriend and what do I do? I ask Cloud to be in polyamory with me and Corrin. Then I continued on like I didn't do anything wrong, flaunting my two boyfriends around like trophies and treating Kamui like garbage. How selfish can I be? What's wrong with me?" The Umbran Witch clenches her fist.

"Mom…" Ren frowns.

"Now Cloud is gone. Probably dead. I let him go out there alone when I should've been there with him. I don't deserve forgiveness. I don't deserve Corrin or Cloud. I…" Bayonetta shuts her eyes to hold back any tears. She hated crying. Exposing this side of her showed her weakness, and she hated being seen as weak. "I'm not fit to be a mother. I'm a horrible role model to you little one. I'm not fit to take care of you."

Ren shakes his head. "That's not true!" He yells. Bayonetta is surprised by Ren's outburst. "You've made terrible decisions. Who hasn't it? From those decisions, you've learned from them and transformed into a better person. You're not perfect, but that doesn't mean you deserve the worst to happen to you because of poor choices in the past!"

Bayonetta turns to her son. "Ren…"

"And...so far you've been a great mother! I know this is all still weird for you, but you're learning. You look after me, make sure I'm okay, making sure I'm staying out of trouble. You...You trust me. Something my birth parents didn't have in me." Ren shakes his head. "You going out of your way to adopt me says to me that you really do care about me. You're trying the best you can for me and that's all I can ask from you. I love you Mom."

That was what finally broke Bayonetta. Tears started to stream down her eyes. She pulls Ren into a tight hug. Ren returns the hug to his mother.

"Ren...Thank you for believing in me." Bayonetta says. She places her hands on Ren's shoulder. She smiles and wipes her eyes. "Great. Now you got me ruining my eyeshadow." She jokes as she rubs her eyes. The Umbran Witch kisses her son on the forehead. "You're right. The past is the past. I should focus on moving forward now. And that focus is to be a good mother to you. I will continue to be the best I can for you little one. You can always depend on Mummy."

Ren smiles. "Thanks Mom. Sorry I made you ruin your makeup." He jokes.

Bayonetta shrugs. "Don't worry about it. What am I worried about is that hair of yours?" The Umbran Witch starts ruffling up Ren's hair. "Honestly boy, do you ever brush that thing? Why is it always up to me to make sure your hair isn't a mess?"

"Hey, if I have a mom to do my hair for me, why should I?" Ren grins. Bayonetta releases Ren and pulls him by the ear. "OW!" The teen cries.

"Don't be fresh with me boy. Mummy has got to teach you some manners. Come, let us finally take care of that hair of yours again." Bayonetta starts making her way to the mansion while pulling on Ren's ear.

"Ow! Mommy! Alright! You don't gotta pull so hard! Hey! Hey!" Ren whines.

Author's Note: This was a LONG time coming huh? This is such a big deal for me. Bayonetta and Kamui burying the hatchet. Writing them for so long having them hate each other to finally reach this point after four years, it's definitely something. But hey, it's all about growing and moving up. I hope y'all enjoyed this chapter. Reviews are always appreciated. Always like hearing what y'all have to say. If I could reply to y'all, but that's not a feature on here. That's what Ao3 is for if you have it, since I have cross uploading there.
