Chapter 56: Journey to Inferno

(Bridge to the Heavens)

The group head for the bridge leading to the mountains but then the bridge starts to break apart revealing a giant Black Xeti Angel that's covered with black and crimson fire.

"Not another possessed angel!" Lucas said.

"This won't stop, will it?" Max asked.

"No." Ky said.

"dO nOt AlLoW hIm To ReAcH fImBuLvEnTr!" The Black Xeti Angel said as it summons a flaming sword and it goes for Loki.

"Loki!" Noel said as she goes for Loki but the flaming sword destroys the bridge.

The group fall in the air and they fall into a tower but Elena casts Telekinesis to hold the group in the air while Bayonetta creates wings on her back.

"Well, we know the song and dance." Sora said.

"Defeat the Black Xeti Angel and quick!" Zatch said.

Meanwhile at a different place the same figure sitting on his throne is observing the battle.

"Another failure. These pawns are all useless. Power must be held in my own hands to truly be attained." The figure said as he teleports to the cathedral grounds and disappears.

Unknowing to the figure Luka sees the figure disappearing.

"Who the hell was that?" Luka asked.

The group and Loki are still in the whirlpool and they later fall into a different place with water.

"Ugh, why'm I the only one stuck in the drink?" Loki asked.

"The better question is, where are we now?" Shadow asked.

"Further than the mountain than we started." Bayonetta said.

"Dammit, so close, and then too far." Ken said.

"Now what do we do?" Donald asked.

"Loki...?" Noel asked.

"I feel like I've seen this place before." Loki said and then a hologram appears showing the same figure looking like Loki.

"At last. You stand before me without escape. This i not your world and should not be in it! What was once one, must be one once again! You must be turned to nothing!" The figure said but Loki throws one of his cards making the hologram disappear.

"Little one, are you alright?" Bayonetta asked.

"What happened?" Goofy asked.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it." Loki said.

"You said you've seen this place before?" Sora asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure I've seen it before. Look, if you're still dead set on going to Hell, I might know a shortcut." Loki said.

"Oh?" Bayonetta asked.

"And what shortcut would that be?" Blaze asked.

"I'm remembering. What I really am." Loki said.

Meanwhile in Gates of Hell a stone Rodin is holding starts glowing and he turns to see Jeanne's crystal glowing.

"Time's almost up. You better start creatin' miracles, Bayonetta. Hopefully, those do-gooders are just as good at makin' 'em as they are at bein' good." Rodin said.

Meanwhile the group are riding on a stone underwater but then they come across what looks like an Infernal.

"Infernal?" Kiyo asked.

"I thought they're on your side." Sly said.

"Well, looks like we're right about the shortcut." Bayonetta said.

"But this isn't right. Why're they attacking you?" T.J. asked.

"You remember when I suspected something wasn't right?" Tails asked.

"Foxy boy had a point and so did Rodin. Ready to show them your light, darlings?" Bayonetta said.

"If it's okay, I won't mind." Ky said.

(Information: Fight off the Infernals!)

The Infernals attack the group with dark beams but Ky casts Slow to slow down time and then triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Sea-Thunder while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by Dancing Blade and then Crystal Edge while Sora delivers four slashes with Kingdom Key followed by two cross slashes followed by unleashing three bolts of light but the Infernals unleash dark discs to attack but Elena casts Blizzard followed by casting Gravity while Ken unleashes magic music fists while Donald casts Aero followed by casting Comet but the Infernals create dark beams to attack at the group but Goofy uses Goofy Rocket while Max uses Shield Boomerang but the Infernals create dark pillars but Tails unleashes Magic Hand and it delivers a punch while Blaze delivers a triple ballet style kick while Shadow slashes with Chaos Daggers but the Infernals unleash dark discs but Storm uses Iron Tail while Grace uses Snarl while Lucky uses Ground Pound but the Infernals create dark beams but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while T.J. triple slashes with his knife while Lucas uses PK Thunder but the Infernals unleash dark pillars but Sly uses Stealth Cane while Bentley sends droids to attack while Murray uses Thunder Flop while Bayonetta uses Bullet Arts and they defeat all of the Infernals.

"Infernal scum!" Shadow said.

"Now THIS we never have a problem dealing." Elena said.

Just then a giant Infernal that looks like a giant stingray hovers behind the group and inhales them.

"Look out!" Lucas cried as the group are being sucked.

"No! I don't wanna get eaten again...!" Donald cried but they get sucked into the Infernal's mouth.

The group wake up to find themselves in a dark watery area.

"Ugh, looks like we're stuck in an Infernal..." Bentley said.

"It's Monstro all over again..." Sora said.

"Don't remind me!" Donald said.

"Has anyone seen Loki?" Murray asked.

"Little one?! Where are you?" Bayonetta asked.

"Why is it whenever something happens, he gets separated from us?" Sly asked.

"Let's just focus on finding him and getting the hell outta here." Ky said.

"Don't hafta tell me twice, Pretty boy." Ken said.

(Insidious-Insides)

(Information: Find Loki and escape from the Insidious Infernal!)

The group start moving to find Loki.

"Loki?!" Sora called.

"Come out, come out!" Zatch called.

"You realize that's not working." Elena said.

The group keep moving through the insides of the Insidious but then they come across more Infernals who attack with their scythes but Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by unleashing light chains while Noel diagonal slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by unleashing light and dark shards while Sora vertical slashes with Crystal Snow and enters Blizzard Claws and delivers powerful strikes with his ice claws but the Infernals slash at the group with their scythes but Bayonetta uses Witch Time to slow time and then multi kicks while Elena casts Earth followed by casting Crystal while Blaze uses Fire Tornado but the Infernals throw their scythes at the group who dodge and Lucas uses PK Fire while Max uses Shield Charge while Grace uses Take Down but the Infernals spin attack with their scythes but Ken unleashes magic music blades followed by casting Meteor while T.J. multi slashes with his knife while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado but the Infernals slash with their scythes but Storm uses Volt Tackle while Sly uses Insanity Strike to make the Infernals attack each other while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker but the Infernals disappear and reappear and attack with their scythes but Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Lucky uses Egg Roll while Donald casts Mega Flare followed by casting Tsunami but the Infernals throw their scythes but Murray uses Turbo Charge while Shadow unleashes Chaos Orbs while Bentley uses his RC Chopper to fire missiles and they defeat the Infernals and they continue moving.

The group move across a dark slimy tunnel while fighting off more Infernals in their way as well as Invisible Heartless and they later escape from the tunnels and they arrive at an area with a big platform.

"Pika!" Storm said pointing at something.

"Huh?" Ky asked looking up to see someone trapped in a red orb and it's Loki.

"Little one!" Bayonetta said.

"Hang on!" Noel said as they try to reach for Loki but then someone appears and it's masked Lumen Sage.

"Not you again!" Sora said.

The masked Lumen Sage goes for Loki but Bayonetta goes after him.

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're the most persistent stalker I've met yet." Bayonetta said as the two start to fight. "Here, I thought I was your type. I guess I had you all wrong." Bayonetta said.

"Step away, Umbra Witch. This is not your fight." The masked Lumen Sage said.

"It actually is." Bayonetta said.

"Bayo!" Ky said as the group run to help.

"Stay out of this!" The masked Lumen Sage said pushing the group back but they recover.

"Nice try, asshole!" Ky said throwing his Keyblade at the masked Sage who disappears and reappears behind Ky and holds him by his throat with his saber.

"Ky!" Noel cried.

"Let him go!" Sora yelled.

"Stupid asshole!" Elena yelled casting Fire and Blizzard at the masked Lumen Sage who deflects the spells.

Bayonetta gets behind the masked Sage and delivers a kick to make the Sage release Ky.

"If you ever touch this boy again, I will kill you!" Bayonetta said.

"A witch caring for children? How laughable." The masked Lumen Sage said.

Bayonetta takes a closer look at the Sage and sees what looks like an amulet shocking her.

"Screw this." Ken said unleashing a magic music note to destroy the red orb Loki is trapped him and he falls but Ky grabs him.

"You okay?" Ky asked.

"Never better." Loki said.

"Hand me the boy!" The masked Lumen Sage ordered as he charges at the boys.

Bayonetta fires a bullet getting part of the mask breaking it revealing his right eye which shines a blue light.

"That eye..." Noel said.

"The Right Eye?" Bayonetta asked.

"No way, but that would mean..." Bentley stops talking.

Just then a shaking occurs inside the Insidious.

"Uh-oh...!" Goofy said.

"We gotta get outta here before..." Max was cut off as the Insidious blows up.

Later the group fall into what looks like a dark area with floating platforms.

"That close." Lucas said.

"Now where are we?" Murray asked.

"This is..." Bayonetta stops talking.

"Welcome to Hell, everyone." Loki said.

"What a charming place." T.J. said.

"I guess it's too late to repent." Zatch said.

"Maybe for Ken." Lucas said.

"Shut the hell up, Blondie!" Ken yelled.

"Look." Noel said pointing at a giant purple door.

"These are the Gates." Bayonetta said.

"Whatever your friend did to get on the other side of these... Let's just say she's not having a good day." Loki said.

"No, she isn't." Bayonetta said.

"A day in Hell would never be a good day." Elena said.

"Yeah... I can imagine that for Jin and Aqua..." Ky said thinking about the Realm of Darkness.

"She'd still be alive if she didn't waste her life saving mine." Bayonetta said.

"Don't say that, Bayonetta. Jeanne did that because she's your friend. Friends risk their lives to save each other. If Jeanne was your position, you would've saved her." Sora said.

"And now you're trying to get her soul back. Is that not a sign of friendship?" Tails asked.

"Fimbulventr can wait for now. I'll open the Gates." Loki said.

"Thanks a lot, Loki." Sly said.

"I can't just leave you guys here after that sob story and Sora's touchy talk." Loki said.

"Hey!" Sora said.

"Besides, who's gonna save you if our stalker decides to show up again?" Loki asked.

"Well, we better get going." Shadow said.

(Ruins of Lost Memory)

The group start moving through the ruins.

"This place..." Max stops talking.

"This is just like the Black Xetis' world in the Realm of Darkness." Bentley said.

"Jin... Aqua..." Ky stops talking.

"We're gonna save them. Riku, Pax, the King, and Oswald have it covered." Sora said.

The group continue to move through the ruins while Loki creates a bridge for them to cross but then Invisible Heartless appear and attack the group dodgde and Ky, Noel, and Sora attack with their Keyblades while Bayonetta uses Bullet Arts while Elena, Ken, and Donald use their magic while Goofy and Max bash with their shields while Tails shoots shots from his blaster while Blaze unleashes flames while Shadow attacks with Chao energy while Storm unleashes electricity while Grace tail whips while Lucky throws eggs while Kiyo has Zatch shoot several lightning bolts while T.J. slashes with his knife while Lucas uses PSI energy while Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley throws bombs while Murray punches and they defeat the Heartless and keep going with Loki who creates more bridges for them to cross while fighting more Heartless as well as Infernals and they later reach the Gates.

"Now how can we get in?" Donald asked.

"Just remembered something." Loki said leaving and the group follow him.

Unknowing to them Xaria and Vitium are watching the group and Sedia appears.

"Well, are you two ready for more fun?" Sedia asked.

"We could take them right now, but it's better to wait for the right moment." Xaria said.

"Whatever suits you. Just remember to throw them off so I can spread as much chaos as possible here." Sedia said as she disappears in her dark corridor.

The group follow Loki to a light portal taking them somewhere else.

(Paradiso-Eternal Square)

The group return to Paradiso and follow Loki to what looks like a prism and so Ky, Noel, Sora, and Bayonetta unlock the prism revealing a piece and so the group make their way back to the ruins and go for the Gates and they use the pieces to create the prisms and so the group fly through the prisms to reach the Gates and they find another prism and so Ky, Noel, Sora, and Bayonetta use the prism to unlock the way and continue on while climbing up stairs and they find a light portal taking them to a different area.

(Paradiso-Twilight Courtyard)

The group are now in a garden area of Paradiso and enter a church like place and go underwater where they find another prism and take its pieces and make their way back to the ruins and they find a spiral staircase and begin climbing up while dealing with Infernals, Heartless, and Black Xetis and they reach the top and hurry for the Gates to place the pieces to create more prisms and they fly through the prisms and they attack the Gate opening the way.

"Well, I guess this is it." Noel said.

"Time to go to Hell." Ken said.

"Oh, boy..." Donald said nervous.

The group find a prism and Ky, Noel, Sora, and Bayonetta use the prism to create a bridge and head over to the Gate by reaching the light portal and arriving somewhere else.

(Paradiso-Glittering Passage)

The group are back in Paradiso and go through a hallway to find another prism and take its pieces and then return to the ruins and head for another prism to place the pieces on and they use the prism to fly through other prisms and they attack the Gate again and break it open revealing the way.

"You know, you're probably the only one on the world, who says 'Go to Hell' and means 'Take me there'." Loki said.

"I suppose you're right." Bayonetta said.

"I think I've done my job here. I'll hit the road. Things to do and all." Loki said.

"This place is full of dark and terrors. No place to be alone." Bayonetta said.

"What're you on about, love? I helped you this long. I got to get to Fimbulventr and..." Loki was cut off.

"No! You're staying here!" Noel said in a stern tone.

"I can't focus on what I need to do here if I have to worry about you running on on your own." Bayonetta said.

"Here's the deal, Loki. After we're finished here, we'll go to Fimbulventr together." Ky said.

"Yeah, great plan. 'You can't go on your own, so let's go to Hell'." Loki said.

"Don't even think about leaving!" Elena said.

Just then the masked Lumen Sage appears.

"You again? Okay, first off, your mask is crap. Second, out of my way." Loki said.

"Your sins must be punished, Loki." A voice said.

"Huh?" T.J. asked looking around.

"Who said that?" Tails asked.

Something appears and it's an ethereal figure.

"Who are you?" Loki asked.

"You pretend to forget me. Yet even if your memory may now be lost, the Remembrances of Time exist forever. Am I wrong, Lumen Sage?" The figure said as the masked Lumen Sage attacks Loki.

"Loki!" Noel said but Sedia appears.

"Uh, uh, uh. Don't interfere." Sedia said.

"Move!" Sora yelled but Sedia unleashes Desire Haviks to surround the group.

The masked Lumen Sage attacks Loki who dodges every attack.

"Wait, I'm the one you've been trying to kill this whole time?" Loki asked.

"Umbra Witch. I am one you shall face. Return what is rightfully mine. What I should never have lost. The Eye." The figure said.

"The Eye?" Bayonetta asked.

"Why's he after it?" Shadow asked.

"Child or not, you will see no mercy, Sovereign one. The sins you have forgotten are timeless. Remember them as you see my face." The masked Lumen Sage said taking off his mask.

"Sorry, mate. Nothing comes to mind. Now that I know that mouth of yours works, maybe you should jog my memory a bit." Loki said.

"Prepare yourself, Umbra Witch!" The figure said attacking Bayonetta.

"Bayo!" Ky said as he runs to help but then Xaria and Vitium appear.

"You're not going anywhere." Vitium said.

"Vitium..." Ky said.

"Xaria..." Noel said.

"Vitium?!" Tails asked shocked.

"How is this possible?" Bentley asked.

"And who's the girl?" Sora asked.

"She's wearing a black coat!" Donald said.

"You are not what we want. Go away." Xaria said as she pushes the group back except Ky and Noel.

"We don't have to do this." Ky said.

"Oh, we do." Vitium said summoning No Hope while Xaria summons Replica Radiant Salvation.

"Let's just settle this sorry fight!" Noel said.

(Boss Theme: Force in You/Heaven and Hell)

(Information: Fight off Vitium and Xaria!)

Vitium charges at Ky with No Hope and delivers five slashes while unleashing dark shock waves but Ky dodges every attack and triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by two roundhouse slashes and then delivers a slide kick and lower slashes and then casts Blizzard but Vitium disappears and reappears over Ky and delivers a slamming attack with No Hope but Ky casts a light barrier to protect himself and then uses Barrier Surge knocking Vitium back but Xaria throws Replica Radiant Salvation at Ky but Noel blocks the throwing Replica Keyblade and then vertical slashes at Xaria with her own Keyblade followed by two graceful twirling slashes and then uses Thunder Cartwheel but Xaria unleashes light and dark pillars to try and bombard Noel who cartwheels to dodge every attack but Xaria disappears in darkness and reappears and delivers five slashes with Replica Radiant Salvation followed by unleashing light and dark shards that fire light and dark beams but Noel dodges and casts Triple Fire followed by casting Earth sending Xaria into the air and then aerial slashes with Radiant Salvation but Xaria counters and they exchange attacks in the air while Ky and Vitium continue to clash blades against each other and they lock weapons and Ky tries to headbutt Vitium who vanishes and reappears and delivers a horizontal slash with No Hope but Ky dodge rolls out of the way and delivers vertical slashes with his Keyblade followed by a bladestand kick and then uses Fire Somersault sending Vitium back while Noel manages to land a hit on Xaria sending her back as well but Vitium summons rocks under the two only for them to dodge but Xaria shoots bolts of light and darkness to try and get the two but Ky uses Lethal Frame to stop time and then delivers a barrage of attacks before starting time again and Vitium and Xaria take damage while Noel uses Prism Windmill.

Xaria counters Noel's attack and horizontal slashes with Replica Radiant Salvation followed by graceful spinning slashes and then unleashes light and dark blades and sends them to attack at the two but Ky casts Reflect to make the blades go right back at Xaria who deflects them as Vitium appears behind Ky and tries to attack but Ky blocks every attack and Ky casts Earth to send Vitium flying and then goes after him and aerial slashes at Vitium with Dawn of Hope followed by a triple aerial somersault slash and then delivers a diving attack sending Vitium to the ground but Vitium retaliates with unleashing dark discs at Ky who dodges but Vitium delivers a somersault slash while unleashing dark energy only for Ky to dodge roll and diagonal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a 360 slash and then casts Magma but Vitium jumps away and then unleashes dark chains to try and attack Ky who unleashes his light chains and they clash chains while Xaria and Noel continue fighting as Noel unleashes light and dark shards and unleashes light and dark beams but Xaria disappears and reappears and delivers a barrage of attacks with Replica Radiant Salvation followed by cartwheeling slashes and then unleashes pillars of light and darkness but Noel dodges every attack and uses Dark Raid followed by casting Dark Orb getting Xaria who retaliates with firing bolts of dark from her Replica Keyblade at Noel who casts a barrier to protect herself and blocks every dark shot and Xaria charges to attack the barrier only for Noel to burst the barrier sending Xaria back while Ky manages to land some hits on Vitium sending him back next to Xaria but the Replicas get back up and Vitium unleashes dark energy sending the two back while Xaria unleashes light and dark chains to hold the two only for them to break free.

"Vitium, Xaria, stop this!" Ky said.

"You two aren't our enemies. Why are you doing this?" Noel asked.

"Because we were ordered to." Vitium said.

"Just because Faust made you doesn't mean you're his puppet! You two should be free to choose your own paths! Not what a servant of a mad Paragon wants you to be!" Ky said.

"Shut up!" Vitium yelled but holds his head in pain. "Why...every time you keep talking...these memories..." Vitium said holding his head.

"Vitium, remember what I said. Back at the tower. When I learned we weren't actually brothers, I was kinda hurt, but you can leave the Brotherhood. You can come with us! We can be brothers." Ky said.

"I said SHUT UP!" Vitium shouted unleashing dark energy sending Ky back.

"Ky!" Noel cried but Xaria blocks the way.

"Don't go anywhere." Xaria said.

"Please... Xaria..." Noel said.

"Well, well, well. This quite an interesting show." Sedia said clapping slowly. "Just remember you're not to kill them. We need them alive until our big battle is ready." Sedia said.

"We know." Xaria said.

"I know. How about you just rough them up a bit. Show them what you can really do." Sedia said.

Xaria approaches Noel.

"Please...Xaria, don't..." Noel said.

As Xaria points her Replica Keyblade at Noel someone holds Replica Radiant Salvation blocking the path and it's Ky.

"Xaria, no." Ky said.

"What...?" Xaria asked.

"It's me, Xyk. You can stop now. It's going to be okay." Xyk said.

"Xyk..." Xaria said as she holds her head. "I feel like these memories are returning to me..." Xaria said as a flash occurs with Xyk and Xaria meeting in Castle that Never Was, them hanging out together with Nixa and Jinux in Gloam City, and them hanging out with Roxas and Axel in Twilight Town. "These memories...don't feel like they belong to me, but...I think I know them..." Xaria said.

"Xaria, remember me. We once fought against Revenant, but you..." Xyk stops talking.

Another flash occurs with Xyk and Xaria fighting against Revenant but Revenant severely damages Xaria who disappears into a dark portal while Xyk sheds a tear.

"I...think I remember that... We were friends..." Xaria said.

"We still are." Xyk said.

"Will you shut up?!" Vitium demanded as he tries to attack Ky's body but then someone blocks the way and it's Xaria. "The hell are you doing?" Vitium asked.

"Defending my friend." Xaria said.

"Are you kidding me? Ugh, stupid Faust. He never learns from his mistake." Sedia said.

"If you're gonna block my path, then I'll have to destroy you." Vitium said.

"Try me." Xaria said casting Cure on Noel. "Can you stand?" Xaria asked.

"Y-Yes. Thank you, Xaria." Noel said.

"Xyk." Xaria said.

"My time's up for now. Don't worry. Ky'll find a way for us to see each other again. Wait for me." Xyk said as Ky regains control of his body.

"Ugh..." Ky said.

"Ky, thank you." Xaria said.

"Huh? You're on our side now?" Ky asked.

"Yes, no we have to deal with him." Xaria said.

"Fine by me. We're saving him too." Ky said.

(Information: Stop Vitium!)

Vitium slashes at the trio with No Hope followed by unleashing dark discs but they dodge and Xaria triple slashes with Replica Radiant Salvation followed by unleashing light and dark pillars while Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by two cartwheel slashes and then casts Triple Plasma followed by casting Spark while Ky horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by two roundhouse slashes and then somersault slashes and casts Gravity but Vitium disappears and reappears and unleashes rocks to send the trio into the air but they dodge and Noel diagonal slashes at Vitium with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Water and then unleashes light and dark blades while Xaria delivers five slashes with Replica Radiant Salvation followed by cartwheeling slashes and then delivers a flipping slash but Vitium unleashes black lightning to strike but Ky counters with Pure Thunder and then casts Holy Fire at Vitium who retaliates with dark fire creating a fiery explosion and smoke and in the smoke Vitium delivers six slashes with No Hope followed by unleashing dark energy but Noel casts a barrier to protect the trio and then uses Barrier Surge followed by casting Telekinesis to hold Vitium into the air and slams him only for Vitium to retaliate with delivering an impaling strike but Ky quickly blocks the impaling strike and vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a double kick and then delivers a bladestand kick while Xaria delivers two horizontal slashes with Replica Radiant Salvation followed by unleashing light and dark blades and sends them to attack only for Vitium to counter with his own dark blades and delivers a slamming blade slash while leaving behind dark energy but Noel casts Slow to slow down time allowing Xaria to diagonal slash with Replica Radiant Salvation followed by a graceful spinning slash and then unleashes bolts of light and darkness while Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope and then unleashes light blades sending them at Vitium who retaliates with delivering seven slashes with No Hope but Ky also delivers his seven slashes with Dawn of Hope and the two keep clashing over and over without the two giving each other an inch and then as Vitium is about to deliver his attack Ky coats his Keyblade with light and delivers a powerful slash ending the fight.

"Damn...you..." Vitium said.

Vitium drops No Hope which disappears and Vitium kneels while breathing heavily and Ky also breathes heavily while Noel holds onto Xaria.

"Fine. You win." Vitium said.

"Huh?" Ky asked.

"You...concede?" Xaria asked.

"If Xaria wants to backstab the Brotherhood, which is a stupid thing to do, then I guess I'll have to do the same." Vitium said.

"Vitium..." Ky said.

"Why the change of heart?" Noel asked.

"You want me to join you or not? You're the one, who kept saying 'Follow you path'. Well, I have no place in the world. So, I guess joining you's a start." Vitium said.

"That's good enough for me." Ky said smiling.

"Dammit. That's two Replicas that turned! Faust, you're an idiot." Sedia said disappearing in her dark corridor.

"Ky... Noel... Thank you both for opening our eyes." Xaria said.

"Tch, this means nothing." Vitium said.

"Hey!" A voice called and they see Sora and the others.

"You guys okay?" Ky asked.

"We're fine." Sly said.

"Yeah, and..." T.J. stops talking and realizes. "Hey! What're those two doing?! And what's Vitium doing back here?!" T.J. said taking out his knife.

"Easy, Teej. They're on our side now." Ky said.

"What?" Max asked.

"Seriously?" Shadow asked.

"After Vitium tried to kill you many times back at the Tower?" Elena asked.

"I don't remember much of that happening, considering I just got created, but if it's you wanna believe, then whatever." Vitium said.

"Ky and Noel convinced us to follow our path and opened our eyes. You can trust or not trust us, but we owe them." Xaria said.

"Sounds fair." Sora said.

"Okay, what the hell ever." Ken said.

"I got my eye on you, Vitium." Elena said.

"No funny business." Murray said.

"Shut up. I'll stick with you for a while, then I'm out." Vitium said.

Just then Bayonetta is falling out of the sky.

"Bayo!" Ky said.

"C'mon!" Donald said as they hurry.

Meanwhile the masked Lumen Sage keeps attacking Loki who keeps dodging while Bayonetta falls out of the sky and is hit with a light beam.

"Umbra Witch, is this the limit of your power? Did you never open your eyes to your full potential? You are no Left Eye, but you may still forfeit it like a lady." The figure said.

"No lady would ever hand anything to a man, who chases after little boys!" Bayonetta said

"Very well. If you will not listen, then you will see. See a power beyond time." The figure said.

"Bayonetta!" Ky called as the group join her.

The figure uses his power on Bayonetta and then sees a flash revealing a Lumen Sage and an Umbra Witch.

"What is the meaning of this?! You said this was to stop the witches' rebellion!" The Lumen Sage yelled.

"The Trinity of Realities belongs only to Jubileus, the Creator. For the world to be reborn, the Eyes of the World, the Eyes of the Overseer... The Eyes of God must not remain in human hands." An Angel said.

"Enough of your words!" The Lumen Sage said.

"Balder... This war is not your doing..." The Umbra Witch said.

"No... It is not. I was deceived. Deceived by the light. Rosa, forgive me. Please be still... I will save you." Balder said.

"To save humans is but an easy task. They live in chaos. They desire chaos. It is time you discover death. The witches and sages, who rule this realm must be exterminated. The Eye must return to their rightful place!" The Angel said.

"The Eyes shall remain in..." Balder was cut off.

"Balder!" Rosa cried as she blocks an attack taking the hit.

"Rosa!" Balder cried but he sees a hooded figure. "What have you done?!" Balder demanded. "Rosa... Rosa...!" Balder cried.

"It's been twenty years since I last saw you... But I kept it safe all this time...the present you gave me... The symbol of our love." Rosa said taking out an amulet. Your face will be the last thing I see. Thank you..." Rosa said.

"Rosa...please don't speak. I will save you. It's not too late." Balder said.

"Balder, please...take good care of Cereza. Watch over her... See to it no harm comes to her. When the time comes, our dear sweet child will be the one. The one to awaken and inherit the Eyes of the World." Rosa said.

"Rosa... Rosa... No! ROSA! ROSA!" Balder shouted.

Later Cereza and Jeanne arrive and Cereza finds Rosa's dead body.

"Mummy...!" Cereza cried.

After the flash Bayonetta breathes heavily.

"What was that?" Bayonetta asked.

"What'd you do to her?" Ky asked.

"It was the vision of truth. A Remembrance of Time." The figure said.

"Lies!" Bayonetta said.

"Got that right!" Sly said.

"You possess the Left Eye, do you not? You are an Overseer. See the truth. See with the Left Eye of Darkness." The figure said preparing to attack.

"Bayonetta!" Noel cried.

Loki throws one of his cards at the Gates opening it revealing a red portal sucking the group, Loki, and the masked Lumen Sage.

"We're bein' sucked into Hell!" Ken said.

"Great! I always wanted to go there!" Vitium said.

"Little one!" Bayonetta said.

"We don't have a choice but to jump!" Tails said.

"Fox boy's right! Let's go!" Loki said as he goes into the portal.

The group go for the portal while the masked Lumen Sage does the same as the Gate closes.

"That was unexpected." The figure said.

"You can say that again." Sedia said arriving watching the Gate close. "Hi, I don't think we've met." Sedia said.

"What an interesting girl you are. Still, this matters not. The return to the Eyes is simply a matter of time. You may do as you wish. I have other plans." The figure said.

"Sure, but what should I call you?" Sedia asked.

"You may call me the Prophet." Prophet said disappearing.

"What a nice guy. So, the heroes are now in Hell. I wonder how this will go." Sedia said disappearing in her dark corridor.
