Chapter 55: Bridge to the Heavens
In a different part of Noatun someone is watching from a tower building and it's a man wearing a black suit and hat watching gunfire.
"So, our fates and our paths cross again." The man said putting on glasses and watches as the group are fighting Black Xetis and Heartless while Bayonetta is fighting angels.
Just then the bridge the group are on begins to fall and Bayonetta falls with it.
"Bayonetta!" Noel cried but the man swings by with a cable.
"Is that...Luka?" Elena asked seeing the man.
"Great, him again." Shadow said annoyed.
Luka swings and tries to grab Bayonetta but misses and crashes into a building and falls over.
"Idiot." Shadow and Sly said.
The group join with Luka.
"Hey, Luka!" Sora said.
"Long time, huh?" Zatch asked.
"Didn't expect to see you guys here in this city of all places." Luka said.
"But what're YOU doing here?" Donald asked.
"Well..." Luka was cut off.
"Luka?" Bayonetta asked.
"Hey, quit calling me that! I'm not a pet or... Oh, you said Luka. Not used to that." Luka said.
"I bet." Shadow said.
"So, how are you, Bayonetta?" Luka asked as wind blows his tie to his face.
"No matter where I am, you always know how to make an entrance. Nice glasses." Bayonetta said.
"Just so you know, I'm not stalking you. Not right now, anyway." Luka said.
"Ugh..." T.J. and Zatch gagged.
"If there's one thing I've learned in my line of work, it's when I've found you, I've found the story." Luka said.
"What on earth are you on about this time?" Bayonetta asked.
"Don't play dumb. You know the story more than anyone. It's about the Umbra Witches and Lumen Sages, the two clans that wielded power 500 years ago. Clans of the Overseer, watching over us with the 'Eyes of the World', the power to govern light and darkness. Now, I know there really was an Overseer. This Overseer is the one, who created the Eyes of the World for humanity. The Overseer was the true creator. The true god of the human realm. The God of Chaos." Luka said.
"God of...Chaos...?" Noel asked.
"That sounds like Malus' title." Ky said.
"From what my research has told me, that god used to live right here in Noatun. That's why this place has gateways to each realm of the Trinity of Realities. La Porta del Paradiso, the doorway to heaven and La Porta dell'inferno, the real Gates of Hell." Luka said.
"The TRUE gate to Hell?" Elena asked shocking Bayonetta.
"That means..." Max stops talking.
"Listen, I heard about Jeanne." Luka said but then squirrel Loki leaps at Luka but Bayonetta stops him. "Whoa! Guess some squirrels get all the nuts. You're a lucky fellow, huh? Never took ya for an animal lover, Bayonetta." Luka said.
"What can I say, I took a liking to one of the locals." Bayonetta said.
"Call him a tour guide." Kiyo said.
"Anyway, it's great to see you again, Luka, but we're busy in case you haven't noticed." Tails said.
"Oh, believe me, I know this isn't the best time to chat. So, lemme see what I can find to help you guys." Luka said.
"You'd do that for us?" Goofy asked.
"'Course. I'm not a journalist for nothin'." Luka said.
"Just don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong, Cheshire." Bayonetta said.
"Oh, don'tcha worry about my nose. I can smell trouble when I see it." Luka said using his cable.
"Guess we'll see ya again soon, Luka." Ky said.
"Take care of yourselves now." Luka said swinging off with his cable but then falls over again.
"Idiot..." Shadow said.
"Well, shall we, darlings?" Bayonetta asked.
The group continue to move through Noatun but then Invisible Heartless appear and attack the group with their swords but Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by two roundhouse slashes and then casts Thunder while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by Dark Raid while Sora diagonal slashes with Hunny Spout and then enters Hunny Blasters and starts firing hunny shots and then enters Hunny Launchers and begins firing giant hunny shots while Elena casts Gravity followed by casting Magic Hour while Ken casts Earth and then unleashes magic music fists while Donald casts Puppet to make the Heartless attack each other while Goofy and Max bash with their shields while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Blaze uses Fire Drill while Shadow shoots Chaos Arrows while Storm uses Skullbash while Grace uses Snarl while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucky uses Egg Throw while T.J. multi slashes with his knife while Sly uses Cane Spin while Bentley throws bombs while Murray uses Thunder Flop while Lucas uses PK Flash while Bayonetta multi punches and then summons a demonic fist and it delivers a giant punch defeating the Heartless and they keep going.
As the group continue they find Loki holding his head.
"Loki?" Noel asked.
"What's wrong with him?" Sora asked.
"Does he have a headache?" Murray asked.
Just then a hologram of a place appears.
"What the hell are we on right now?" Ken asked and they see a figure that looks like Loki who throws his card making the hologram disappear.
"Loki?" Lucas asked but then a giant wave of water rises.
"Not good..." Bentley said.
"Bayo!" Ky said as he, Noel, and Sora casts Slow while Bayonetta uses Witch Time to slow the water.
The group run through the raging water and reach the other side.
"That was random." T.J. said.
"Where did you learn that trick, Loki?" Blaze asked.
"I've never seen a witch or a sage pull off something like that." Bayonetta said.
"You think I'm just gonna tell you when I have no damn clue as to which side you're on?" Loki asked.
"Loki..." Elena warned.
"Okay, okay. I can control the Remembrance of Time. That's a deal breaker." Loki said.
"Remembrance of Time?" Sly asked.
"Got nothing else to say." Loki said.
"The Remembrance...of Time." Bayonetta said looking at the mirror.
"Bayonetta...?" Max asked.
"Let's get a move on. We've got a party and we can't miss it." Bayonetta said looking at the doorway.
The group open the doorway and go to the next area.
(Noatun-Room of Prayer)
The group are in what looks like a ruined room.
"Damn, looks like this place has gone to hell." Ken said.
"This room's probably old." Donald said.
The group explore the room but then Black Xeti angels appear and attack but the group fight them off and keep looking around but then Loki holds his head again.
"Loki!" Sora said.
"Again?" Kiyo asked.
The group see another hologram and see the figure that looks like Loki.
"If you... Were gone... It'd all be..." The figure stops talking as he throws his cards making the room no longer ruined.
"Loki..." Sora stops talking.
"So this must be this Remembrance of Time." Noel said.
"You can control creation." Shadow said.
"Catchin' on?" Loki said.
"Well, use your power to help us." Elena said.
Loki uses his powers to create stairs allowing the group to climb up the stairs and then Loki uses his power to allow the group to run up the room's walls while fighting off more possessed angels in their way and then they later find another door taking them outside.
"So, any idea of getting to Fimbulventr?" Zatch asked.
"We can't just walk on over there. We gotta get creative if we're gonna make it." Loki said.
"So, what's your idea?" Bentley asked.
"Look over there." Loki said pointing at what looks like a cathedral. That's the Cathedral of Cascades. It was used for ritual worship of the mountain. Inside, there's a device that can build a 'Bridge to the Heavens'. It will take us halfway up Fimbulventr." Loki said.
"An express pass?" Tails asked.
"Sounds damn fine to me." Ken said.
"Seems like something finally came to his mind. While you're in the remembering mood, you mind telling me where the entrance to Inferno is up there?" Bayonetta asked.
"Inferno? You must be in some crap if you're lookin' to go there. Look at it this way; once we get up to the mountain, you get to choose to go up or down. Fimbulventr doesn't just let you stick around." Loki said.
"And where will you be going?" Shadow asked.
"Me...?" Loki asked holding his head.
"What, scared to answer?" Sly asked.
"Look, just help me get to the mountain." Loki said.
"Loki...?" Noel asked.
"Get away from me!" Loki said throwing his card but then water starts raging from below.
"Pika!" Storm said looking at the raging water.
"Not again..." Donald said.
The raging water rises and breaks the bridge sending Loki down.
"Loki!" Ky cried but then something grabs Loki and it's a giant Black Xeti that looks like a giant black watery kraken with crimson eyes and the Black Xeti symbol is on its body.
"Black Xeti!" Sora said.
"We gotta stop it and save Loki!" T.J. said.
"Fine by me." Bayonetta said.
(Boss Theme: Vim and Vigor)
(Information: Defeat Wrathken!)
The Black Xeti known as Wrathken uses its water tentacles to send the group onto the raging water but they surf through the water as Wrathken unleashes raging water cyclones but the group dodge and Ky surfs and triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by Blizzard Surge and then casts Mega Volt while Noel delivers four slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by Thunder Edge and then uses Blizzard Raid while Sora vertical slashes with Kingdom Key followed by two cross slashes and then uses Fire Blitz but Wrathken tries to slam at the group with its tentacles and then unleash giant waves of water at the group but Shadow teleport punches many times and then delivers a teleport kick while Sly uses Dive Attack but Wrathken uses its tentacles to pick up debris and throws them at the group but Donald casts Telekinesis to pick up the debris and throws them right back while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Storm uses Volt Tackle but Wrathken sends its tentacles to send the group underwater but Lucas uses PK Freeze while Max uses Cyclone while Ken casts Triple Blizzard followed by casting Multi Volt but Wrathken lashes with its tentacles and then tries to slam them at the group but Bayonetta uses Witch Time to slow down time and then uses Bullet Arts to deliver great damage while T.J. throws many knives but Wrathken unleashes water cyclones to get the group who dodge and Tails throws ring bombs while Bentley uses his RC Chopper to fire missiles but Wrathken picks up debris with its tentacles and throws them at the group who dodge and Lucky uses Egg Roll while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado while Elena unleashes magic blades and sends them to strike but Wrathken tries to impale at the group with its tentacles and then unleashes more waves of water but Blaze uses Fire Tornado while Murray uses Turbo Charge while Grace uses Tackle but Wrathken sends the group underwater and then tries to attack with its tentacles.
The group swim to avoid the tentacle attacks and Kiyo has Zatch shoot several lightning bolts while Goofy uses Goofy Discus while Murray gets into his ball form and delivers a rolling strike but Wrathken attempts to impale at the group with its tentacles but Ken unleashes Thunder coated magic music fists and sends them to deliver a power Thunder punch while Grace uses Quick Attack and then uses Dark Pulse while Blaze shoot fireballs but Wrathken swipes at the group with its tentacles and then unleashes water cyclones to try and get the group who swim to dodge and Donald casts Triple Plasma followed by casting Blizzard while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Max uses Shield Surf but Wrathken tries to grab at the group with its tentacles but Bayonetta unleashes her demonic fists and they deliver powerful punches while Lucas uses PK Thunder while Storm uses Iron Tail but Wrathken unleashes more water cyclones and then tries to lash at the group with its tentacles but Shadow unleashes two Chaos orbs and sends them to strike while Lucky uses Headbutt while Bentley shoots electric darts but Wrathken tries to grab with its tentacles and then unleashes beams of water to attack but Elena casts Shell on every and then casts Deep Freeze followed by casting Inferno while Sly uses Dive Attack while T.J. dash slashes with his knife but Wrathken spin attacks with its tentacles to try and get the group who swim away but Wrathken unleashes more water cyclones but Noel swims over and delivers five slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by unleashing a powerful water cyclone and then delivers a water burst while Sora delivers slashes with Kingdom Key followed by unleashing water shots and then creates a whirlpool to strike while Ky horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by two roundhouse slashes and then creates a powerful water beam and they finish off Wrathken with Ky, Noel, and Sora delivering their final attack destroying the Black Xeti and they see Loki.
Ky tries to swim to get to Loki but the water keeps raging and the group are still caught.
"Everybody hold on!" Ky said as they're still in the raging water and later they see what looks like a light.
The group are now in what looks like a place full of clouds and light and they start falling but Bayonetta creates wings on her back while Elena uses her magic to levitate the group and they try to go for Loki but then a giant Black Xeti angel grabs it.
"Not again!" Donald said.
"After it!" Max said.
(Paradiso-Gates of Paradise)
The group chase after the giant Black Xeti angel to save Loki.
"Gawrsh, this looks just like Olympus." Goofy said.
"I think we've been here before." Murray said.
"Gawk another time!" Elena said.
"We gotta save Loki." Noel said.
The group keep chasing after the Black Xeti angel while dealing with angels as Bayonetta kills them allowing the group to keep chasing after the Black Xeti angel and as they reach it Ky fires light shots from Dawn of Hope while Noel unleashes light and dark shots from Radiant Salvation to deliver damage to the Black Xeti angel who keeps moving while unleashing blades to attack but Sora fires light shots from Kingdom Key while Bayonetta uses her Bullet Arts but the Black Xeti angel attacks with its claws but the group dodge and Ky unleashes light blades and sends them to strike while Noel unleashes dark shards and they fire lasers but the Black Xeti angel continues to attack with blades and claws but Bayonetta uses Witch Time to slow down time and then unleashes demonic fists to deliver punches while Sora unleashes beams of light from Kingdom Key stunning the possessed angel allowing the four to reach it and Ky, Noel, and Sora deliver slashes with their Keyblades while Bayonetta delivers multi punches and kicks and then Ky unleashes light chains to hold the possessed angel and uses Purification freeing the angel from the Black Xetis and Bayonetta unleashes a giant demon to destroy the angel and they go for Loki.
"Hang on, Loki." Ky said going for Loki and grabs him.
"You fools. Umbra Witch... No, Overseer of Darkness. The Sovereign one must not be allowed to reach the mountain!" An angel said.
"I don't recall asking for your permission." Bayonetta said.
"Look, we're sorry, but stay out of our way." Ky said as Bayonetta uses her Bullet Arts to destroy the angel but not before unleashing ice at the group to make Ky drop him.
"Damn!" Ky said as the group fall from Paradiso.
Loki is falling from the sky and back to Noatun but then Luka comes swinging through the city only for Loki who becomes a squirrel to fall on him and they crash to the ground.
"What the hell was that?" Luka asked and sees Loki who is back in his human form. "Who're you?" Luka asked.
"Hey, you're the perv, who's been staring at Bayonetta all the time. You oughta learn how to talk to a lady." Loki said.
"Hey, I'm not a... Wait, how do you..." Luka stops talking.
"No time. Where's the mountain? Where's Fimbulventr? I'm in a hurry." Loki said.
"Hey, kid!" Luka called but Loki leaves. "Kids these days." Luka said.
The group land on a building.
"Ugh, falling. We LOVE doing it." Sora said.
"So much for Cheshire landing on his feet." Bayonetta said.
"Where's Loki?" Zatch asked.
"Now we gotta find him." Elena said.
"Damn peachy." Ken said.
(Noatun-City Streets)
The group start moving to find Loki while fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless as well as possessed angels and continue moving through the city streets to continue searching for Loki and they come across a building tower and so Bayonetta breaks it apart to create a bridge and they start crossing but then the tower bridge starts to fall apart only to find another building tower but then Angel Star Heartless appear and attack but Ky, Noel, and Sora attack with their Keyblades while Elena, Donald, and Ken unleash their magic while Goofy and Max bash with their shields while Tails throws ring bombs while Blaze lashes with flame whips while Shadow shoots Chaos orbs while Storm unleashes eectricity while Grace tail whips while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucky throws eggs while T.J. slashes with his knife while Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley shoots darts while Murray triple punches while Lucas unleashes PSI while Bayonetta uses Bullet Arts and they keep going where they find a door and open it taking them to the ground level of the city.
Meanwhile Loki arrives at a watery ground area.
"No time... I gotta get to Fimbulventr, but...why do I have to go there?" Loki asked but then he feels the pain in his head again. "Argh, my head's gonna burst. I gotta get to that mountain." Loki said.
Just then someone attacks Loki who dodges.
"What the bloody hell was that?" Loki asked as he sees a figure in white robes and wearing a gold plated mask and carrying a gold double saber. "Nice mask, mate. You goin' to that witch's party? Not the best costume, but she's not the picky type." Loki said.
"Where is she?" The masked figure asked.
"So, you are goin' to her party? She's quite the popular one. Haven't the slightest. Even if I knew, we have a special relationship." Loki said.
"Then this will be all the easier." The masked figure said.
"Crap!" Loki said throwing his cards but the masked figure unleashes white feathers that deflect the cards.
The group keep going through the city streets looking for Loki.
"Where will we find Loki?" Donald asked.
"He can't be TOO far." Tails said.
"C'mon, we gotta hurry before something bad happens to him." Ky said.
The group continue through the streets and they come across a ruined building tower and so they climb up while dealing with more possessed angels and they reach the other side of the streets but then Invisible Heartless appear and attack but Ky casts Stop freezing them and then uses Lethal Blade while Noel casts Thunder followed by casting Gravity while Sora uses Strike Raid and then uses Blitz while Bayonetta unleashes demonic fists to deliver punches and they move on but they hear a voice.
"That voice..." Noel said.
"Is that Loki?" Lucas asked.
"C'mon!" Sora said as they rush for a door and open it.
The masked figure attacks Loki with his double saber but Loki dodges every attack causing his hood to fall down revealing white dreadlocks and as the masked figure is about to attack Ky, Noel, Sora, and Bayonetta block the attack.
"Just in time!" Sora said as Bayonetta uses her Bullet Arts but the masked figure dodges every bullet.
"Okay, this is a new enemy." Sly said.
"What kind of adult picks on little children?" Bayonetta asked.
"I'm not a child!" Loki said.
"What's with the mask?" Blaze asked.
"Let me guess, is he one of your assistants?" Bayonetta asked.
"Nothin' comes to mind." Loki said.
"Maybe he's someone you oughta know, Bayonetta?" Max asked.
"Hardly. He's not my type." Bayonetta said.
The masked figure throws his saber at the group who dodge and the masked figure is now behind them while grabbing his saber.
"So fast...!" Shadow said.
Bayonetta and the masked figure start exchanging blows and fires bullets at the figure who stops them and puts them away.
"Oh, my... You're a Lumen Sage?" Bayonetta asked.
"What?!" The group asked shocked.
"Darlings, get the little one and get out of here. I'll keep him busy." Bayonetta said.
"But..." Ky was cut off as something grabs him and it's a black chain.
"Ky!" Noel cried but then another black chain grabs her and the black chains pull the two away from the watery grounds.
"Guys!" Sora said running to help the two.
"Sora, wait!" Donald called but then Black Xetis and Heartless appear.
Ky and Noel are pulled to a building rooftop and Ky and Noel drop down.
"What the hell?" Ky asked.
"What pulled us in?" Noel asked.
"We did." A voice said and they see two figure who are Vitium and Xaria.
"Vitium?!" Ky asked shocked.
"Xaria..." Noel said.
"We meet again, chosen heroes." Xaria said.
"Let me guess, those assholes are making you fight us. Well, we don't wanna fight you two." Ky said.
"...I do..." Vitium said charging at Ky and attacks with his sword known as No Hope but Ky blocks every attack and Vitium tries to attack and they lock weapons.
"Vitium, please stop! We've been fighting at the tower because Faust screwed with your mind and now they're doing it again! You're no one's puppet! You're free to choose what you want!" Ky said.
"...Sh-Shut up...! I want...to...kill you!" Vitium said.
Noel blocks every attack by Xaria who bombards Noel with her Replica Keyblade but Noel creates a light shield to deflect every attack Xaria delivers.
"Why do you have to do this...?" Noel asked.
"...I have to... I'm sorry, but I was ordered to." Xaria said.
"But what about seeing Xyk again...? Do you not want to see him?" Noel asked and Xaria turns to see Ky who is blocking every attack and Xaria starts feeling head in pain again.
"No... Not again...!" Xaria said clutching her head.
Vitium keeps attacking Ky who blocks every attack and then delivers a swiping attack sending Vitium back next to Xaria.
"Pull it together!" Vitium said.
"Ky... Noel... Brace yourselves." Xaria said.
(Boss Theme: The Force in You/Heaven and Hell)
(Information: Survive against Vitium and Xaria!)
Vitium charges at Ky and delivers three slashes with No Hope followed by a somersault slash but Ky retaliates with three vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a roundhouse slash and then slide kicks and lower slashes but Xaria creates a light shield to protect Vitium who unleashes three black shots and then creates black blades while Xaria unleashes light and dark shards at Ky who deflects them as Noel casts Earth followed by casting Triple Plasma at Xaria getting her but Xaria retaliates with four slashes with Replica Radiant Salvation followed by two ballet style spin slashes and then unleashes light and dark pillars while Vitium unleashes two black shock waves and then coats No Hope with black energy and throws it at Ky who counters with Light Raid causing the two swords to clash and Ky casts Fire while Vitium unleashes black ice shards at each other while Xaria disappears in light and then reappears behind Noel and tries to attack with Replica Radiant Salvation but Noel blocks the attack and diagonal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by Blizzard Cartwheel getting Xaria who retaliates with a spinning slash with her Replica Keyblade sending Noel to Ky who helps her but Vitium unleashes whirlwinds to send the two into the air and as Xaria is about to attack with her Replica Keyblade the two both unleash their shields to block every attack and Noel aerial slashes at Xaria with Radiant Salvation followed by an aerial flipping slash sending the Replica down and Ky dive attacks at Vitium who backs off and horizontal slashes with No Hope and then unleashes dark discs but the two dodge the dark discs and Ky slide dashes and delivers four slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by unleashing light chains while Noel casts Dark Fire followed by casting Pure Blizzard sending the two back.
Just then a shaking occurs.
"What the hell?" Ky asked looking around but Vitium gets behind.
"Idiot..." Vitium said attacking with No Hope.
Ky blocks the attack and vertical slashes at Vitium with Dawn of Hope followed by two roundhouse slashes and then casts Triple Blizzard and then uses Prism Windmill while Noel tries to help but Xaria unleashes light and dark pillars but Noel dodges every pillar and delivers three diagonal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a 360 slash and the two girls clash their Keyblades and Ky casts Earth under Xaria to send her into the air and tries to follow only for Vitium to deliver a sideswipe slash with No Hope but Ky dodges and then throws his Keyblade at Vitium and starts slashing with his Keyblade followed by a crescent slash but Vitium sinks into the ground then delivers a rising slash with No Hope at Ky sending him into the air and Xaria aims her Replica Keyblade to attack Ky but Noel casts Zero Gravity to hold Xaria into the air and aerial slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by Thunder Surge but Xaria disappears in light and reappears and attacks back at Noel with Replica Radiant Salvation sending Noel to the building roof while Vitium delivers a slamming slash sending Ky down with Noel and as the two Replicas are about to attack again Ky and Noel join together and unleash a light and dark blade and they send the two Replicas back and Ky charges at Vitium who dodges all of Ky's attacks and then vertical slashes with No Hope followed by unleashing black chains to try and hold Ky who destroys the black chains and delivers horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by diagonal slashes and then somersault slashes but Vitium gets behind Ky and unleashes a giant black disc while Xaria coats her Replica Keyblade with darkness and throws it at Ky only for Noel to counter with firing her light shots at Xaria and Ky casts Thunder followed by casting Prism but Vitium unleashes rocks under Ky sending him into the air and chases after him but Ky and Vitium begin clashing their swords together and they go down while Noel and Xaria also exchange attacks.
Just then Ky and Noel see a giant demonic figure and an angelic figure fighting and also see Bayonetta and the masked Lumen Sage fighting in the air.
"Bayo?" Ky asked.
"Focus." Xaria said firing light and dark bolts at Ky who casts Reflect.
"Can we do this another time. Our friend needs us." Ky said.
"Screw your friends." Vitium said he charges as he charges at Ky.
"STOP!" Ky and Noel shouted casting Stop freezing time and Vitium and Xaria.
"Sorry, but we'll have to cut this short." Noel said as they start moving.
The two start moving but Vitium and Xaria are able to move once more.
"Not one more step!" Vitium said.
"You're moving?!" Ky asked but then he sees the skies clearing.
"Please you have to let us go." Noel said.
"That can't happen." Xaria said.
"Ky! Noel!" A voice called and they see Sora running for them.
"On second thought, we'll have to continue this some other time. Take care of yourself." Xaria said as she and Vitium leave.
"Vitium... Xaria..." Ky said.
"They're not entirely our enemies, but..." Noel said and then Sora and the others join them.
"What happened?" Elena asked.
"You two just got pulled over." Max said.
"Let's just say...Black Xetis and Heartless." Ky said.
"What about Bayonetta and Loki?" Noel asked.
"Guess we'll have to find them." Kiyo said as they start moving.
Unknowing to them Sedia is watching the group.
"They've put on quite a show against the Replicas. I wonder where they'll go from here." Sedia said.
The group start moving the city and they later go to a different area.
(Cathedral of Cascades-Water Grounds)
The group arrive at a ruined cathedral.
"This has to be that Cathedral of Cascades Loki mentioned." Bentley said.
"So that's where Bayonetta and Loki are right now. Let's get going." Shadow said.
The group start moving and they see water.
"Guess we'll be in for a swim." Lucas said.
"Yippee." Donald said sarcastically.
The group go underwater and start swimming in order to get inside and they later manage to reach the surface and are now inside the cathedral itself and they go to a different area.
(Cathedral of Cascades-Underground Graveyard)
The group arrive at what looks like an underground area full of tombstones.
"This place looks creepy." Zatch said.
"Look." Murray said pointing at Bayonetta and Loki.
"Finally." T.J. said as they join the two.
"There you guys are." Elena said.
"Aw, I was wondering what happened to you. You went and had me worried sick." Bayonetta said.
"Sorry. Hey what happened to that masked Lumen Sage you were fighting against?" Sora asked.
"Guess he up and vanished. The last thing that happened, I was underwater and Loki helped get me out." Bayonetta said.
"Anyway, we're here in the cathedral so let's get to it." Loki said using his power to create a relic.
Ky, Noel, Sora, and Bayonetta use the relic to make something happen outside.
"I'm guessing we're set?" Sly asked.
"Almost." Loki said.
Just then a dark corridor appears revealing Sedia.
"Well, well, here we are again." Sedia said.
"Sedia?!" Noel asked shocked.
"Oh, great, her again!" Bayonetta said.
"No surprise you're still in the Brotherhood!" Ky said.
"Of course. My loyalty is always to Lord Malus." Sedia said.
"Well, it's great to see you again and all, but we're busy in case you haven't noticed!" Lucas said.
"Oh, I have. I just thought it'd be interesting to add in the fun." Sedia said.
"What fun? Creating chaos and killing people?" Blaze asked.
"Unless you have something worth my attention, scurry away." Bayonetta said.
"Oh, you want me to leave? When I have something that might save your dear friend?" Sedia asked making Bayonetta shocked.
"What?" Bayonetta asked.
"Bayonetta, don't listen to her!" Goofy said.
"She's obviously lying to you!" T.J. said.
"I'm hurt. I heard what happened to your friend Jeanne. Her poor soul was taken to Inferno and you're going to Fimbulventr, the link to Heaven and Hell, to try and save her. I just want to offer some help...provided you do something for me first." Sedia said.
"Shut the hell up!" Ky yelled but Bayonetta places her hand on his shoulder.
"And what is it you want in return?" Bayonetta said pointing her guns.
"Other than creating chaos, Lord Malus wants something. He's looking to actually recruit Infernals. The demons that you Umbra Witches have an alliance with." Sedia said.
"And pray tell why your master wants them for an army?" Bayonetta asked.
"Oh, just for something in case we finally snuff out the light and start making our own order of darkness and chaos. You could be a big help and have a big role. All you have to do is abandon them and help the winning side." Sedia said.
"You want her to betray us?!" Zatch asked.
"You really think you can save Jeanne?" Bayonetta asked.
"Do we have a deal, Bayo?" Sedia asked but Bayonetta uses her Bullet Arts at the Havik who dodges every bullet.
"I'm all for getting Jeanne back and creating as much havoc as I want, but I'm not interested, not after Vigrid." Bayonetta said.
"That's really your answer? Maybe this will change your mind." Sedia said as Desire Haviks appear and surround the group.
"Bayo..." Sora stops talking.
"Let's make some chaos for ourselves." Bayonetta said.
(Battle Theme: Tension Rising)
(Information: Defeat the Haviks!)
The Desire Haviks attack the group with their razor whips but Ky casts Slow and then vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a sliding kick and lower slashes and then casts Blizzard while Noel casts Aero sending them flying while Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key followed by two cross slashes and then casts Thunder but the Desire Haviks unleash black hearts but Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Sly uses Cane Push but the Desire Haviks try to grab the group with their whips and lure them but Storm uses Skullbash while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado but the Desire Haviks lash with their razor whips but Bayonetta uses Witch Time to slow down time and then multi punches and kicks and then unleashes demon fists and feet to punch and kick while Lucas uses PK Fire while Ken unleashes magic music notes but the Desire Haviks unleash black hearts but Grace uses Tackle while T.J. multi slashes with his knife but the Desire Haviks try to darin the groups' lives but Shadow multi punches with Chaos infused energy while Murray uses Uppercut but the Desire Haviks lash with their whips but Lucky uses Egg Roll while Max uses Shield Skate but the Desire Haviks try to grab the group with their whips but Donald casts Fire followed by casting Earth while Elena unleashes magic concussive blasts but the Desire Haviks unleash more black hearts but Bentley shoots electric darts while Blaze uses Fire Tornado and they defeat all the Haviks.
"Too bad you turned down my offer, but I'm certain in time, you'll change your mind." Sedia said as she destroys the ceiling making water fill the whole room.
The group swim their way out of the underground graveyard and they later reach the surface and are now in somewhere else.
(Cathedral of Cascades-Grand Hall)
The group are now in a hall of the cathedral and they find a spiral staircase.
"This is it. The bridge to the heavens should be right above us." Loki said.
"You sure?" Shadow asked.
"Not really." Loki said.
"You're damn reliable." Ken said.
"Well, I have a feeling it could lead us." Bayonetta said.
"How do you know?" Kiyo asked.
"Call it a woman's intuition." Bayonetta said.
"What kind of silly comic book crap is that?" Loki asked.
"I have plenty of experience with 'nothing comes to mind'." Bayonetta said.
"What?" Loki asked
"I spent 500 years not knowing who I was. I only found the truth about myself recently." Bayonetta said.
"Well, I don't know a thing. I don't even know why I have to go to that bloody mountain." Loki said.
"But deep down in your heart, you have to, right?" Sora asked.
"Y-Yeah. That's all I know. Make any sense?" Loki asked.
"Oh, come now. Can't let the girls know you have a heart." Bayonetta said.
"Well, if that's all you know, then it's all the sense you need. You just gotta believe." Ky said.
"That's what I did." Bayonetta said.
"Believe... Let's do it!" Loki said running off.
"Hey, wait!" T.J. called as they run after him.
The group reach the top of the chamber and they find a sphere.
"I think I remember this." Loki said.
"Huh?" Max asked.
Loki goes to the sphere and uses his power to get inside and in the sphere starts making water rise up as well as the sphere but then someone watches making Loki throw his card but the person reveals to be Luka.
"Luka?" Elena asked.
"You again?" Loki asked.
"Oh, hey. You're that mouthy brat." Luka said.
"You guys met already?" Zatch asked.
"How'd you get here?" Murray asked.
"I'm the Great L-U-K-A, Luka. I didn't have to get through these ridiculous ordeals to just randomly show up in opportune moments." Luka said.
"Risking everything for nothing." Bayonetta said.
"What're you after now?" Blaze asked.
"Oh, loads of stuff. I'm investigating an old Noatun story. It's called 'Legend of Aesir'." Luka said.
"Legend of Aesir?" Bentley asked.
"The hell is that?" Ken asked but then Loki starts feeling pain in his head again.
"This fairy tale is?" Bayonetta asked.
"This actually has something to do with you, Bayonetta." Luka said.
"Is that right?" Bayonetta asked.
"The Legend of Aesir. A legend from the dawn of time. Nobody knows where the world came from. A struggle caused the Trinity of Realities to be split into three realms: Light, darkness, and chaos. Obviously, our world was the one born from chaos. The three worlds all needed rulers. Most of all, ours. The one that ruled the chaos became known as Aesir. Aesir spent the first eternity quietly looking upon the earth from his holy mountain. Where we only see reality and make it match our rules of the world, Aesir saw through the reality and those visions became our world. These observations became Aesir's power. Aesir's eyes were truly the eyes that created the world. However, Aesir pitied the humans for their naivety and lack of free will. The power he wielded was split in two equal halves and entrusted each to humanity's instincts: The Right Eye of Light and the Left Eye of Darkness. By dividing the power of the eyes of Aesir, humans gained free will... They could now choose. With control of the Eyes of the World, the eyes that determine destiny, humans could choose their own paths. They awoke to their own destinies. Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but now we were thinking reeds and we took our first big step towards grand prosperity. The inheritors of the eyes of Aesir had been granted the power of creation." Luka explained.
"The Eyes..." Bayonetta said.
"The 'Eyes of the World' controlled by a Lumen Sage and an Umbra Witch." Luka said.
"Eyes...of the World?" Loki asked.
"However, the influence of the 'Right Eye', the one controlled by the sages, left this world forever with the death of the final sage." Luka said.
"Balder..." Noel said waking Ken who was sleeping.
"Huh? Sorry, was asleep durin' that whole crap, then woke up by that asshole's name." Ken said.
"Do the natural disasters that are occurring right now have something to do with the loss of the Right Eye and what will happen to the world? Those are the truths I'm after. The truth will always be the truth. If the truth's here, so am I. I think the key to that truth is that mountain, Fimbulventr." Luka said.
"How DO you find these things?" Bayonetta asked.
"I've done my homework. What would you expect from the marvelous, magnificent, and magn..." Luka was cut off by Shadow delivering an uppercut.
"Thank you." Bayonetta said.
"Everyone, get on!" Loki said as they get on the sphere.
The sphere starts rising and Sedia watches this.
"So, the world was created by the chaos. This could be very interesting for Lord Malus." Sedia said disappearing in her dark corridor.
The sphere keeps rising up but then possessed angels appear.
"We're not gonna make it!" Loki said transforming into his squirrel form and the group get off the sphere and are now outside.
"So much for our ride." Ky said.
"Now what?" Elena asked.
Loki feels another pain in his head a hologram appears but then a figure that looks like Loki pushes Loki aside but Bayonetta grabs him.
"Right, let's go." Loki said pointing at a bridge leading to the mountain.
"Well, here we go." Noel said and they nod.
