Chapter 4: Witch in Heat


Thousands of years ago before Rodin found Bayonetta:

Rodin the Infinite one had been summoned to the icy Veil to the home of the Crowfather crossing his arms and demanded "What is it you want feathered fuck?"

Crowfather then leaned forward with a gentle smile and said "I have an offer for you Demon lord, if you are willing to pass through time in a era where the Charred Council have no power over the Angels and Demons."

Rodin raised a brow and asked "What kind of offer?"

Crowfather then snapped his fingers opening a portal through time and said "A human woman needs guidance, from a demon lord as such as yourself."

Rodin then sighed and said "A human woman? Why would I be the mentor of a Human?"

Crowfather then said "She has the power to rival Death and under your guidance she will be your legacy. Think of it Rodin a Witch who will be Death's equal could be your greatest achievement."

Rodin then placed his hand on his chin and said "You've convinced me Old one, but I gotta ask, why do you possess this kind of power to travel through time back before the Abyss' existence? And why do this now?"

Crowfather then gave a smile and said "I had existed since before the Abyss myself Rodin, and by the way call the woman Bayoentta when you meet her. She won't remember her name yet."

Rodin then growled in pain as his demonic form was changed into a black man with stylized tattoos, sunglasses with a dark brown leather coat, and gasp as he asked "What did ya do to my beautiful self?"

Crowfather then stated "I gave you a way to not attract attention to yourself Rodin, you are currently a human until you have completed your vow to guide the woman to her eventual meeting with Death."

Rodin then asked "Why would you care so much for this woman? Why have her face Death?"

Crowfather then asked "Who said I wanted her to fight him? The two have more income than you realize, go on see for yourself."

Rodin had walked through the portal expecting his time to be boring but it was the opposite his time in the era of the Trinity of Reality was more impressive than he had ever thought, though he admitted the Angels weren't to his liking he admired a great deal of the Demons of the time. Rodin became the Trinity Demon hunter renowned to making them into weapons using a method similar to Death when he created the grand Abominations However he used he soul which made the weapons even more powerful but they paled in comparison to Death's work which a single weapon could have destroyed entire worlds.

Present day, Tristone

A portal on the ground had opened as Rodin walked out with puffing on a cigar and said "Man no wonder why some of the angels looked familiar, I saw them slumber here. Man... sure is great to be back, but I wonder where is..."

Then Muria walked up and asked "Your the Demon Lord Rodin aren't you?"

Rodin then turned towards Muria as a voice shouted "HEY RODIN! CAN'T YA LET ME OUT OF THEIS FUCKIN JAR NOW?!"

Rodin sighed annoyingly and sealed his coat back and pulled out a jar with a soul and warned "Enzo, I told you to shut yo yapping mouth!"

Eno then shouted "I'VE PAID MY DEBT OFF!"

Rodin then stated "Yes but you pissing of Samael was a big mistake remember? You insulted the red wanderer I add another two hundred years of you debt!"

Muria just stood there listening to the two banter and walked away and stated "Bayonetta has already gone her journey with Death I would recommend you see your old sales demon."

Enzo then said "Oh fuckin perfect, fuckin what like ten thousand years of her gone and she's back whoopee fuckindoo!"

The Tree of Life

A Giant door stood with engravings of the battles between Heaven and Hell but the center oozed the black tar like power that is Corruption as a large figure with black slimy tentacles, yellow eyes, mouth and oddly enough has yellow eyes on his chest where his heart should be and said "Gorewood has failed... the Nephilim known as Bayonetta is still with Death. If she remains with him and breeds with him, a new generation of Nephilim with Death's blood... shall rise, Herald of Disorder."

The Corruption began to form as a tall skeleton was formed from the Corruption with a hooded robe that revealed it's ribs, the figure's eye sockets glowed yellow, but then strangely he grew another pair of arms above his own. The Herald then hissed yellow steam and said "My lord I take full responsibility for Gorewood's fail..."

The voice of the Avatar then shouted "HERALD! Your incompetence does not amuse me! Our strategy must now change the Constructs can only gain so little from the use of their own Corrupt souls to allow me to see what makes her tick!"

The Herald then grunted and suggested "Set loose me loose to hunt her down for you my lord..."

The voice then asked "Death is more powerful than you know... though his power is not at full for the seventh seal was not broken his knowledge of Necromancy and summoning the dead... is beyond any living thing! It would be invaluable for you to bring me a strand of Bayonetta's hair, her blood recovered from the one of the Tree of Life's roots is... fresh, but ancient, she precedes even the first Nephilim. She's naturally born and not created by Angel and Demon ash and dust. I do not want her dead... yet. I want to learn from what mysterious time she came from."

The Herald then claimed "By the Will of Corruption I will not fail!"

The voice then stated "The Will? The Will is within each and every Champion of Corruption you know this!"

The herald then growled and said "Yes..."

The voice then said "Now go, bring me this... Primordial Nephilim."

The herald bowed and turned away but then voice of the Avatar said "Wait, incase the Nephilim fights back... I shall give you a gift, Corruption call will corrupt beings that lie dormant within this land."

As he Herald glowed yellow for a moment and melted into a puddle and moved with great speeds the voice of the Avatar then said "Soon the Mistress of Destruction shall rise."

as if it was a shadow until it made it into the blockade and reformed into his regular form and said "By the Will of Corruption I command you to let me pass!"

The Blockade then asked in a womanly voice "A Champion of Corruption? What do you seek within these ancient lands?"

The Herald then stated "I come to take the Nephilim that rides with Death!"

The Blockade then said "Hmm yes... this Nephilim shows herself to I would go if the Avatar Willed me to but alas I am restrained to keep creates from escaping."

The Herald then stated "ENOUGH! WILL YOU DISOBEY THE WILL OF CORRUPTION?"

The Blockade then stated "No... but do make that Nephilim suffer for me will you?"

The Herald was pulled through the blockade as it's eyes began to twitch as the pupil rose up forming the Herald of Disorder who said "I will find her."

With our deadliest couple (Because why not?)

Death had recovered from being poisoned by Gorewood's roots watched as Bayonetta took the hearthstone of the creature and made it into a giant hammer while Dust and Bright eyes landed on his shoulders and said "Impressive... you managed to keep Gorewood from regenerating into his full body by separating his heartstone from the ground itself."

Bayonetta then teased "Oh Death sounds jealous of a human woman thinking logically."

Death sighed while Bayonetta then asked "Oh and by the way, since when did the future have Gnomes like these?"

Bayonetta then revealed a garden Gnome with a skull for a face as Death stated "I have no idea what that is Bayonetta."

Bayonetta then gave it to Death and said "Well I want you told hold it, be a proper gentlemen."

Then Gnome's eye sockets glowed red and said "One, two, three, four many of me have never been seen before. You seek me but you won't get far, riddle me this or risk your and see how your par."

Bayonetta then asked "Cheeky. I wasn't aware that this Gnome could talk with riddles."

Death the sighed and said "Fine what's the riddle?"

The Gnome gave a laugh and began "I am the resident of the haunting lands, never one to be spotted, for I am a secret in the city of corpses, never one to leave, for your see that the dead are daunting. Where am I?"

Bayonetta then looked at Death and said "Well go on your the expert on this universe!"

Death then stared coldly into the Gnome's sockets and said "You are in the Kingdom of the dead, within the walls of the Dead city."

The Gnome then chuckled and said "As expected from the reaper who I see has a keeper..."

Then Bayonetta then asked "Ohh such perverted Gnome."

The Gnome then finished "Find me within the walls of the city. or have my pity."

The Gnome shattered and disappeared as Bayonetta asked "So how are you feeling?"

Death then sighed and said "I'm not in the mood for your pale dick riding Bayonetta."

Bayonetta then pulled out a lollipop and said "Well I for one enjoyed it, never figured to be on an adventure with Death himself. I couldn't resist taking the chance to tame a wild beast like you."

Death glared at Bayonetta as his Reaper fist attempted to punch her but her Madama Butterfly fist punched his and said "Oh it seems I need to keep on trying to tame this beast whoopish!"

Then Dust and Bright eyes woke to see their masters already up as Dust sniffed the air while Bright eyes cawed questionably as Dust gave a series of cawed and crackles. Bright eyes then looked towards the skies as if they can smell nothing was coming, something that would face Death and Bayoentta.

Later

Death and Bayonetta rode on Despair through the forest seeing that more and more Constructs were being corrupted by the myserteous power that is Corruption. Then Death saw the Stone father's volcano side and said "We should be there shortly!"

But as the two rode near a cliff Bayonetta saw a large stone head and widened her eyes and said "Impossible..."

Bayonetta jumped off Despair and jumped down the cliff as Death noticed and shouted "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!"

Bayonetta jumped onto a tree branch and jumped towards the ground and ran towards the head and when she finally found it she fell to her knees and said "How could you end up here? Jubileus..."

The stone head of Jubileus was covered in green vines, but yet it did not corrode from time then Death walked from the shadows of the tree lines and saw the head and felt a powerful magic and said "This power is as like then Holy weapons of the Angels..."

Bayonetta then saw a golden lipstick cover that had been laid further away from the mouth of Jubileus as Bayonetta picked it up and said quietly "Daddy..."

Bayonetta then saw that other statues surrounded Jubileus' head and she recgonized them as her universe's Angels, their bodies covered in vines and roots from the trees around them. Though they sat, stood and bowed still Bayonetta could tell that the Angels were still alive and said "Of course your kind survives, but it's no fun just to kill you all while your sleeping."

Death then asked "Is everything alright."

Bayonetta then sighed and picked up the lipstick and teased "What? Has Death gone soft on me so soon?"

Death then crossed his arms and growled an answer "Hardly."

Then a voice was heard "So this is where they lie..."

Death and Bayonetta turned towards the trees as they saw the Herald walk out with all of his arms crossed over his ribs as Death thought to himself "As he took on his multi-armed form and said 'Now I've become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I know for a fact I don't look like that!"

The Herald then stated "I am the Herald of Disorder... and I have been sent here by the Avatar of Chaos the wielder of the Will of Corruption to take the Nephilim female back to him!"

Death grunted for a moment hearing the word Nephilim and stated "She's not a Nephilim, but I do wonder who your master is."

The Herald stared at Death and said "The Avatar of Chaos will bring the end of the universe, all of Creation will become one with Corruption and not even Time nor Death can change that!"

The Herald then snapped his skeleton fingers at Death causing a yellow electric bolt to strike him into a tree as Bayoentta shouted "DEATH!"

The Herald then said "Now... come with me, my master wishes to speak to you about how you survived the onslaught of the Nephilim race."

Bayonetta then said "You should ask get to know me better before asking a girl out bone head!"

The Herald then sighed and said "Then I will take you by..."

Bayonetta had charged at the Herald of Disorder and kicked his head while he was talking and said "Just like a god I knew, he talked on and on only to fail!"

The Herald was kicked into a tree and readjusted his jaw and said "Fine then... if that is how you want to play..."

The Herald of Disorder's armed all formed guns and said "You I have studied a few of your fights from the Stalker and Gorewood, you can use all four limbs to your advantage..."

Then the Herald pointed all four guns as his his legs formed blades and asked "But how will you manage against a being who can use six limbs?"

Bayonetta then glared at the Herald as he charged forward at her but she smiled and backflipped right before the Herald attempted to hit her with his guns, slowing down time and said "Better luck next time..."

Then Death charged from under Bayonetta's backflip with blinding speed and stabbed his scythes into he Herald's rib cage and said "Then you have failed your master!"

Death then tore the scythes out of the Herald and used both scythes to decapitate him and said "She stays with me Herald of Disorder!"

Bayonetta then crossed her arms and leaned forward towards Death teasing him "Oh how sweet."

Then the Herald's body stood backup and picked up it's head stating "You need to do better than that!"

Death turned towards the Herald as Bayonetta then joked "You know I could have given you a head but that would imply I want to do it."

Death then shouted "NOT NOW!"

Bayonetta then teased "Sassy mofo."

The Herald then shot a bolt of lightning from his hand and shot Death away into the trees behind him Bayonetta turned towards Death as the Herald was already behind her and had glowing yellow eye sockets as Bayonetta spun around and jumped but as she kicked the Herald who had blocked her leg. The herald the laughed and grabbed Bayonetta's limbs and demanded "WHERE DO YOU COME FROM?!"

Bayonetta then teased "Ask me nicely and I might consider on telling you."

The Herald then growled and said "Fine... I'll just have to do this then."

The Herald opened his jaw wider as a Corruption tendril erupted and touched Bayonetta's head making her grunted as she had to relive her past, young, lonely, and hated by her clan for being the daughter of both an umbra witch and Lumen sage.

Ahhh so this is your childhood... how interesting you are much like a Nephilim, but you predate even the first, Absalom... and your natural born from humans? How is that? Your blood is human yet your much taller and stronger than them, your powers over light and dark are much like the Nephilim race... tell me your secrets!

Then Bayonetta memory of her mother being killed and her father going into madness was seen as Jeanne had stabbed her with a blade causing her to loose her memories and put into a long slumber.

You lost your mother, your father gone insane and your adopted sister betrays you? What else can I find?

Bayonetta then remember seeing young Luka and his father's death, Rodin giving her new name, and her quest to find out who she really is.

A death of a boy's father something that caused a long obsession for exposing you... Demon lord Rodin? Now this is very intriguing...

Then the memory of Bayonetta defeating Jubileus and afterwards Jeanne's soul was dragged to Inferno.

Thus this so called "goddess of light" falls by a human summons? Hmmm this is quite...

Death then came up behind the Herald placing his scythe next to his head and ordered "Let. Her. Go!"

The Herald then growled and said "As you "command" Kin slayer."

The Herald let go of Bayonetta and landed on her feet with her head tilted down as Death asked "Bayonetta are you alright?"

Bayonetta with quick speeds held her hands up as a three bladed scythe and cut horizontal as the blades moved as if they were like chainsaw blades cutting the Herald who was shocked from the quick and fatal attack and fell apart. Death then looked at his scythes and said "Show off."

Bayonetta then teased "You know seeing glimpse of my past I had almost forgotten about poor ol' Chernobog here."

Death then saw Bayonetta turn away and notice Bayonetta place he right hand over her heart and as she thought "What kind of power was that thing holding... it felt powerful and yet evil."

Death then stared at the body of the Herald and thought "What the hell are you?"

Death then ran past following Bayonetta but as they left the Herald of Disorder's body melted into the soil as it began to crack as the Herald's voice said "It would seem that I would need to find a certain Demon Lord..."

Bayonetta and Death had gone back on route to the Cauldron killing a few of the Constructs on the way until they reach a ashen covered land with very few vegetation large stone platform seeing a young Maker smashing the Constructs with a giant hammer as Bayonetta teased "My oh my, looky here comes a big man."

Death then jumped off Despair as did Bayonetta who used her love if blue set of guns and shot the Constructs as Death would use his twin blades scythes and cut them apart. Then the Maker threw a Construct at Death and shouted "HEAD'S UP RIDER!"

Death then used his Reaper fists to punch the Construct at Bayonetta who used her Madama Butterfly's heel to stomp on the construct with few others too, as the Maker said being impressed "That's the way!"

The Maker then slammed his hammer down on a Construct crushing it as Bayonetta kicked a construct into the air and jump at it wrapping her legs around it's body and spun in mid air shooting downward as all the Constructs were being shot down. Death and the Maker who stood side by side watching the Umbra with kicking more ass than them just stood quietly as the Maker said "Maker's beard... and I thought you'd impress..."

Death then stared at the Maker and as his Reaper fist punched the young Maker's face who said "Yeah sorry..."

when Bayonetta was about to hit the ground she flipped over having the Construct who was wrapped around he legs hit the ground causing the Construct to explode and pieces of it fell off the platform and into the lava below. The pieces were blown back up by the lava as Bayonetta had her back turned towards it and failed to notice the incoming lava, then Death had dash to her and pushed her out of the away as the lava fell onto him as Bayonetta who fell to her side watched as the pale rider was engulfed in the lava.

Though Death was engulfed in the lava he had stood back up with lava coving his body and slowly walked out of the lava, as Bayonetta then whistled and teased "Still a nice package Death."

Death looked down as the Maker said while trying to avert his eyes "Ah for Stone Father's sake Horsemen... I know ya armor was burned off by the lava but could ya please just put somethin else on?!"

Death then growled annoyingly his body glowed purple as his new armor formed, he wore, dark green armor with glowing light green segments that glowed near the Demonic eye and mouth places of his armor. Then he summoned a pair of twin scythes to go along with the armor that had the same style and effect and announced his armor "The Shadow of death armor set."

Bayonetta was impressed and teased "I would mind fighting with a naked man though."

Death then said "No."

Then a portal opened as a familiar voice said "Ya know it strike me odd that no matter where you go I'm sure to follow the aftermath."

Bayonetta hearing the voice then smirked and asked "So I was wondering if you survived... Rodin."

Death then turned towards the portal as Rodin rose up flicking ashes off his cigar and said "Ya gotta know Bayonetta, I don't die so easily."

Death then pointed his blade Rodi's throat n and asked "Really? Shall I test that theory?"

Rodin then placed his finger on Death's scythe and pushed it away from his throat and said "I would rather not fight the most feared Horsmen Death. And besides I've got a gift for Bayonetta."

Bayonetta then crossed her arms and stated "Really Rodin your not for gifts unless it aids your business."

Rodin then held out a bracelet and stated "You're right Bayonetta, this bracelet will allow you to collect souls, you see in this time era halos don't have much value... the real valuable currency is souls of any creature."

Death then stated "he's right boatman coins and gold can help but it's the value difference between them and seeing a soul is a life source it's value is greater than either Gold and Boatman coins."

The Maker who sat down said "Ya can have all the valuables ya want but could ya help me release the fires of the mountain?"

Bayonetta the placed her left hand on her hip and and asked "And why would you ask us to help you uhhh..."

The Maker then comically frowned and used his right hand to grabbed a large chain and rushed it in his palm and said "Folk around town call me Pup, or Lad but I'd prefer to use my own name Karn. And to answer yer question without the tree I'm stuck here with ya miss."

Then both Death and Bayonetta said in at the same time "Pup it is!"

Then Karn shrugged and said "As ya wish matters not to me."

Then our hero and heroine began to walk as Karn asked "Hey you mind getting something?"

Then the two complained "YES WE MIND AREN'T WE DOING ENOUGH ALREADY?!"

Karn was blown back from the sudden out hurts and said "Ya know ya two would make the perfect couple."

But suddenly the lava erupted as giant lava bats had flapped their wings that flew at Death and would attacked him making him loose balance until he was near the edge of the bridge while Bayonetta would shoot them out of the sky. The last lava bat who Bayonetta shot had crashed into Death forcing both him and the dead bat off the bridge and into the lava as Bayonetta widened her eyes and asked "He's alive right?"

Karn then said "Uhhhh... Yer askin the wrong Maker miss."

Rodin then walked up and said "Death isn't at full power and seeing he's practically vunerable to mortal wounds... he might be dead."

Bayonetta then felt guilty but didn't show it as she walked off and said "Better to move on then."

Bayonetta had crossed the bridge and kick the door open and saw a mechanism that was needed to be pushed into the wall and kicked it in seeing the door had been released and walked through seeing the lava infested dungeon. Then a loud voice shouted "GHORN WILL CRUSH YOU!"

Bayonetta then stated "I'm really not in the mood for this shit right now!"

Then a giant Construct champion fell right in front of Bayonetta as another fell but it was made of molten lava and stone which shouted "Gharn kill intruder!"

The other Construct now called Gharn growled and began to attack with Ghorn but suddenly an earthquake started as both constructs turned towards the balcony in the far end of the room to see a an Angel Inspired's head burst through and roared as it fell lifeless with black blood running out of it's mouth. Both Constructs stared at each other as Bayonetta looked at both of them then they heard the loud metallic slash with a yell.

Bayonetta then widened her eyes and saw the dead Angel of her time explode as Death had burst out with the blood just rolling off him, with a very cold stare Death then glowed purple and said "Your in my way..."

Then Gharn roared and charged at Death who stood still as Ghorn laughed but then Death exploded into purple souls and in his lace was a giant skeletal being with skeletal bat-like wings and purple robes, and a very large scythe with demonic faces on it. Bayonetta just sat aside and was very interested in watching this fight and joked "Ding ding!"

Then Gharn attacked with his spiked drill hand but the being had used it's scythe to stop the drill and slashed it's arm off and began to stab the champion over an dover until it exploded. The being then turned towards Ghorn who slammed it's hands on the ground causing volcanic eruptions while Construct warriors began to reform and attack the being while Ghorn attempted to escape.

But Bayonetta who was still sitting down said "Oh leaving so soon?"

Then Ghorn roared but his upper left part of his face was blown off as Bayonetta teased with a smirk "Damn... I missed."

Ghorn then saw the being who had been cloaked by the dust of the Constructs stare at him showing no face under the hood and roared as he charged of the Cauldron. Bayonetta who saw the entire fight and saw Death changed back into his normal self clawed at him "Rawr! That was hot."

Death then saw the mechanism that was used to unplug the lava flow back to Tristone above the entrance as Bayonetta stated "I got it."

Bayonetta then jumped up on he balcony and pushed the mechanism around until the weights nearly hit the ground and the plus was opened Bayonetta then jumped down and placed her hand on Death's chest and seductively teased "Your skin is hot."

Death then saw Bayonetta lick her lips and asked "Are... are aroused?"

Bayonetta then stated "Killing Angels gets me worked up... but the way you did it... I might even take up on dominating you again."

Death then crossed his arms and stated "And I'll be waiting for you try again."

Bayonetta and Death walked out of the cauldron while Bayonetta ordered Bright eyes "Bright eyes do be a dear and go see if there's anything of value here?"

Bright eyes cawed and made Dust go with her but Dust turned over to a another glance at Bayonetta's ass and failed to notice a wall in his way and hit it while Bright eyes cawed as if she was laughing at him.

Then the black blood of the Inspired Angel molded as the Herald of Disorder reformed and growled annoyingly "Death won't allow me to corrupt the human witch... very well I deal with him first."

To be continued

Sorry it took me some time to finish this chapter, somethings happened and I got busy for my other stories, I made a new story The Lord of the dead, a Darksiders and Highschool of the dead crossover recommended by Black cross0, and I'm still working on it planning some ideas just need to set some goals for that.

The Riders of the balance, a Darksiders and Injustice gods among us crossover I've finally finished the act 2 finale, me feeling sick slows me down and now my Uncle just passed away.

Moving on, so I would like to apologize for being slow at this Crossover, but I have some good news, someone on Deviantart has at least 1 thing with Bayonetta and Death in it...

However... LOL it's a Death battle (sighs) at least there's something right? But I do hope this story brings more inspiration for art works of a Bayodeath or Bayoneath pairing.

I can't deny the more I look into the history of both of these characters and their lore, the more I feel that these two were meant for each other, I can reasonably understand why People like a Dante and Bayonetta pairing, but I like breaking the mainstream ideas.

I go against the flow and I find things that are more interesting that way.

So for now it may take me sometime to finish the next chapter due to the passing of my uncle, I'm used to the unexpected deaths of my family it's happened more than once, but right now I'm going to take a small break from this story I wanted to make the chapter even longer but

I do encourage anyone to make fan art of Bayonetta being paired with Death, cause you know having two characters who can relate each other more can make the best pairing.

I do not know much on Devil may cry, so I can't truly say why Dante and Bayonetta shouldn't be together but I do know their creators are the same people.

I myself haven't played the Devil may cry 1-4 and I will not even speak of that abomination that was DMC if I ever make a crossover with that Dante I will have him murdered.

So I'll "see" you all next time hopefully I can have my mind focus more by then.
