Chapter 20: Nun with guns part 2


Hey everyone I made a special chapter but for some reason it wasn't showing up, so I have decided to delete that and will say it here:

The porn comic based on the Bayonetta a journey with Death chapter, The Kiss of Death has now had it's first page posted on Newgrounds and Hentaifoundry the artist if you do not remember is Kcenofil please go check the first page if you are interested.

I have also decided to add another game series to the Kismet universe but you won't know until the end of this chapter but let's just say it's rather Brutal.

Also as I forgot to post this on the last chapter the Angel Smith Caldrus is my original character within this series.


The Citadel of Corruption (The Shadow realm)

Oblivio sat upon his throne with his four eyes closed as his veins pulsating and glowed yellow as the tendrils that punctured his flesh pumped power straight into his body while Consumption asked "My Lord, how might I replenish my strength if you are taking the power of my core to regain your own strength?"

Oblivio kept his eyes closes as he telepathically responded "I have long had my sights upon a Demon world that I wished to harvest a small part when I believed it to be the right time."

Consumption was silent as Oblivio opened his eyes and ordered "Set course for the world, Shadow's Edge!"

The corrupted planet Consumption rumbled as it responded "As you command my Lord."

Minutes later Morgana entered the throne room and asked with a playful tone "Boss you're moving the living planet already? You must've already have a plan."

Oblivio nodded and explained "It is easier to corrupt something so pure like the Angelic worlds, despite them weakening my armies, but to corrupt something already so dark and corrupt is far harder and time consuming, but the boost in power (looks upon his right hand and closes into a fist) is well worth the the wait."

Morgana formed an impressed expression and asked "Damn... changing the subject; you want to interrogate that squid god?"

Oblivio squinted his eyes with an intense angered look as he stated "I do intend to but he will have to suffer for his transgression!"

Morgana backed away towards the door and assured with a concerned tone "Riiiiiiight... I'll just bring him to you right away..."

Later Morgana returned to the throne dragging the young Cosmic god inside and presented "Presenting this gross squid boy Boss!"

The Elder God groaned lowly at Morgana in annoyance as Oblivio responded "Thank you Morgana, you may leave us."

Morgana bowed and turned back and teased "You boys play nice try not to make a mess would you?"

Morgana left the room as the two Cosmic Gods were left alone with the Elder God eyeing Oblivio who without a single word fired four beams of energy out of his eyes and struck the young self proclaimed 'Elder God' who cried out in pain "NRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Oblivio reminded while still sitting upon his throne "I gave you my word that I'd make you beg louder the last time we met!"

Oblivio's beams increased in their intensity making the Elder God begged "PLEEEEEAAAAASE S-SSSSSSSSTTTOOOOOOOP!"

Oblivio's mouth formed a faintly sadistic smirk as he ceased his beams allowing the Elder God to pant heavily from the pain as Oblivio raised his left hand magically lifting him up the ground and pulled him towards himself.

Oblivio formed a stern expression as he demanded simply "I recently discover two new gods amongst the pantheon... so I will ask, how many more additions to the Pantheon are there?"

The Elder God responded in a tired tone "I... only know of the Charred Council, the (pant) Servant God Frostbane, and the two on another Abyssal world that I am not familiar with as (pant) I had my gaze upon Nosgoth for the majority of my existence..."

Oblivio was silent from this response and lowered his hand and dropped the Elder God as he rubbed his chin in thought before pulling out the tendrils in his flesh and stood up.

Oblivio walked down the steps to his throne and picked up the Elder God and asked "What is your name young god?"

The Elder God chuckled in a proud manner and responded "I have none, I was only referred to as Master, the Elder God or Lord..."

Oblivio groaned in annoyance and said in a cold tone "I see... so you are a young fool that presents himself as old as myself and Omne... so I will give you a name that befits your history to Nosgoth... Nos'duran will do."

Nos'duran growled in annoyance and responded "I do not desire to have a name of any kind!"

Oblivio squeezed Nos'duran making him wheeze painfully and coldly stated "And yet I seem to lack any reasons to care for your desires young one."

Oblivio called out "My Chamberlain, you may return this one to his cell!"

The Chamberlain of Calamity walked out from behind Oblivio's throne and bowed his head responding in a respectful tone "As you command my lord."

Lostlight, the base of the Crystal Spire

Bayonetta was seen standing before Nathaniel while wearing her new nun outfit as Nathaniel held a dagger to her chin and said "I will begin your path down the road to the Light, (cuts Bayonetta's cheek with Bayonetta wincing in pain) when your mind, body and soul begin to finally adapt to the balance of Light and Dark this scar will completely heal, for a Nephilim like yourself has the ability to regenerate but to what extent will depend on how far you are willing to push it's capabilities..."

Bayonetta frowned slightly angry for being cut at all on her face as Nathaniel sheathed his dagger and instructed "You will begin your path by focusing on what you believe you must protect, meditate in your thoughts."

Bayonetta pointed at Nathaniel and promised "When I do I'm going to punch you."

Nathaniel grunted as he noticed Bayonetta's aura starting to glow purple with her Dark magic despite her current outfit repressing it heavily Nathaniel thought to himself "She's incredibly powerful if even Caldrus' craft is barely restraining it..."

Nathaniel cleared his throat and assured "It is fair, I would not expect you to not to let the scar on your face go unanswered... though do..."

Bayonetta formed a smirk and teased "Go gentle on you?"

Nathaniel was silent as his response as Bayonetta raised a brow with keeping her smirk and placed a hand oner her hip before changing the subject "And what position do you want me to do this 'meditation' I wonder?"

Nathaniel responded in a wise tone while placing his hands behind his back "It matters not what manner of meditation you wish to use, so long as it doesn't relate to dark rituals."

Bayonetta sighed in a irritated tone and said "Ohhhh... I have an idea... praying!"

Bayonetta grasped her hands together as Nathaniel walked away stating "I will leave you for this task and if you succeed in regenerating your scar we will begin you combat training in the ways of Heaven."

Nathaniel walked towards a tree where Death laid on a branch observing Bayonetta and demanded in a serious yet quiet tone "Why did you cut her?!"

Nathaniel responded "She is a Nephilim like you Death, she is just the first one to be born naturally and wasn't shaped by Lilith's hands, like yourself and the others... you were all born with the ability to regenerate your wounds but only few of your kin were able to perfect and improve upon it. Bayonetta must find a way to focus her Holy heritage without her Dark side forcing it to make an explosion of Holy energy."

Death eyed Bayonetta and sighed in defeat while responding "I... cannot disagree but we are short on time as it is."

Nathaniel responded confidently "I am aware Rider, though I am only guiding her to the path she requires, and I can merely start her training she will have to develop her own methods, we Angels value working solutions even if the method may seem rather odd to others even amongst our own kind."

Caldrus walked out with a bottle of alcohol and eyed Bayonetta and said "So she's the witch wearing the outfit I made for?"

Nathaniel nodded as Death clarified with a cold tone "She is more than just a witch, Angel."

Caldrus eyed Death and took a sip of his drink and sighed in relief before stating in a belittling tone "And what more could she possibly be than a witch, Horseman?"

Death squinted with a serious stare as Caldrus noticed and said "Uhhh... why's he lookin at me like that Nathaniel?"

Nathaniel backed away and stated "She's his lover Caldrus..."

Caldurs eyed Death with a confused expression and shrugged and complimented with a impressed tone "You have good taste in women Reaper."

Death formed a unamused look in his eyes as Caldrus walked over to Bayonetta who was straining on her focus on trying to tap into her Lumen heritage's power as Caldrus stated "So seein that you're new to training in the Angel ways, and you're usin my what were originally my robes allow me to warn ya on a few things, one the suit you now wear has a limited resistance to Demonic and Abyssal magics, two the suit will make your holy magics stronger and three it has yet to blend well with your dark powers."

Bayonetta eyed Caldrus who took a sip of his drink and responded "I'd figured as much..."

Caldrus raised a brow and formed an impressed expression and said "Huh... you're brighter than most idiot Angels I've had the agony to train over the years, even (points at Nathaniel) the dumb bastard over there took days to figure it out on his own."

Bayonetta scoffed with a smirk and teased "What can I say lady like myself has to have her strengths... and speaking of training you used to train Angel thought you were always a Blacksmith?"

Caldrus looked down in shame and responded "I... wasn't always some useless Angel Blacksmith, though makin weapons was always a hobby of mine..."

Bayonetta shrugged and responded "So you were some Holy military instructor?"

Caldrus seemed troubled from the looks on his face as he swirled the contents of his bottle and silently walked away without a response as Bayonetta raised a brow in confusion while Caldrus remembered a voice that was both sadistic yet smooth "You've long been an annoyance to me Wretched flame, but I will not end your life... but your wings are mine!"

Caldrus drank the rest of his drink and tossed the bottle on the ground shattering it and sighed in a refreshed though deeply frustrated tone as he walked by Death and Nathaniel who noticed his ashamed expression and sighed in worry.

Nosgoth

Kain stood up from his throne and raised his sword and took stance as did Fury while Absalom and the Mistress took their battle-stances with the Mistress forming two large fists from her hair.

Absalom roared at the Rider and Vampire as he charged at them ordering "Daughter take the vampire! I'll deal with the Rider!"

Absalom with surprising speed threw his fist down at Fury who grunted in shock as she leaned to the side barely dodging Absalom's fist before he smacked her with the side of his axe knocking her back a few feet into a wall. The Mistress leaped out at Kain who dived rolled between her legs and slashed his sword at one of her large fists which strangely had an effect on her making her grunt in surprise.

The Mistress eyed her injured fist as it slowly regenerated before eyeing Kain's sword and thought "That blade can hurt us..."

Kain eyed the black blood on his blade and swiped it off with a single clean motion and taunted "You seem more hesitant than before creature!"

The Mistress formed a larger yet far more sinister and toothy mouth and hissed "YOU DARE?!"

Absalom clashed his axe with Fury's sword with enough force to make her feet drag from being pushed back from his sheer strength before he easily swiped his leg knocking her on her back before he pressed his boot on her chest. Fury punched Absalom's boot desperately before looking up to see his face darkened with his yellow eyes staring down at her with an expression of hatred and malice.

Fury trembled in fear as she stabbed his leg with her sword making him grunt in pain before releasing her from under his heel Absalom eyed his wound and noticed it wasn't regenerating and said "Interesting weapon... traitor."

Fury stood up and eyed Kain and said "Not yet..."

Absalom reached down and grabbed Fury by the throat and began to violently slammed her onto the ground over and over again shouting "THIS IF FOR MY BROTHERS! (SLAM!) MY SISTERS! (SLAM) THE WORLD THAT WOULD'VE BEEN OURS FOR THE TAKING! (SLAM) AND THIS FOR ME!"

Absalom lifted up a bloodied Fury one more time but a serpent hole opened up as Absalom eyed and watched as Raziel walked out and saw the battle and sighed in annoyance and said "Not again..."

Kain eyed Raziel and widened his eyes in shock and questioned "Raziel you live?!"

Raziel made a defensive stance while Absalom turned his gaze upon him stating "In a manner of speaking..."

Absalom squinted at Raziel and said "You... you're one of the champions that had one of weapons of the Lord of Hollows... hahahaha! Not to easy to face us without a weapon that can harm us is it child?"

Raziel squinted defiantly at Absalom who growled before Kain shouted before throwing his sword at Absalom "NO!"

The Mistress grinned and immidiately turned her giant fists into multiple tendrils that impaled Kain's arms, legs and belly and pinned him down into the ground as his sword stabbed itself into Absalom's shoulder making him roar out in pain "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHHHHHHH!"

Absalom quickly tossed Fury away and caused her to crash into a wall as he pulled the sword out of his shoulder making him bleed his blackened blood as he growled in anger before smacking Raziel away with the side of his axe and ordered "HOLD HIM DOWN DAUGHTER!"

The Mistress silently nodded and moved aside keeping her tendrils in place as Absalom raised the sword in the air preparing to use Kain's own weapon against him as Fury changed into her Havoc form. Fury's current form wreathed in maroon colored flames as each hand were a single sharp claw on each end but they extended into two large whip-like tendrils that stretched out and coiled around Absalom's arms holding him back from impaling Kain with his own sword.

The Mistress hissed in annoyance before forming a single giant hand from her hair and broke off one of the broken pillars and impaled Kain's chest with it and formed a satisfied yet sadistic grin as Kain gasped in pain as a pool of his own blood formed beneath him. Fury halted her strangle over to see Kain impaled while Absalom took advantage of her distracted state and pulled her towards him as he punched her out of her Havoc form.

Fury grunted in pain as Absalom stomped his way towards Fury and quickly dropped his axe and pinned her down with his armored hand and swiftly yet brutally slammed his fist onto both of her arms breaking them and caused her to scream out in pain "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Absalom stood up and coldly stated "My Master doesn't like being deceived, sister. But he may have use of you in the future you may remain here to think on trying to tricking him again with a corpse of a bloodsucker!"

Absalom turned towards Raziel who was getting up from being bashed by his axe while Absalom's tentacle on his back dove into the ground and erupted beneath Raziel constricting him making him groan in a struggling tone "GRRRRRRRRRRRGGGNNNNN!"

Raziel struggled to fight against Absalom's powerful tentacle his own strength gave out while Absalom retracted his tentacle and looked down to see Fury's arms already beginning to regenerate.

Absalom scoffed in amusement and deduced "Sister you seem to have developed our natural ability to regenerate your body, most impressive, however..."

Absalom grabbed Fury and began to violently slammed her back into a wall before using two of his tentacles to pull out broken metal bars and impaled Fury's chest, forearms and pinned her to the wall before bending the metal inwards.

Absalom turned towards the Mistress and ordered "We are done here, daughter... (looks up) COLLECTION BRING US HOME!"

A portal for both Absalom and the Mistress opened up as Absalom held Kain's sword but Raziel stood up and charged after and tackled Absalom's arm and reclaimed the sword before Absalom growled in annoyance before backhanding the wraith aside. Absalom passively waved off Raziel as he and the Mistress walked through the portal with the Mistress turning back with a sadistic grin before the portal closed leaving Fury to groan in pain as Raziel ran to Kain's body.

Raziel showing his incredible strength pulled the pillar out of Kain's body which immediately began to regenerate as Kain groaned in annoyance and said "My god... I wasn't prepared a fight we expected to lose to be that fast..."

Raziel eyed Kain in confusion but squinted in familiarity and sighed as a response saying "You're still one step ahead as always Kain."

Kain eyed Fury who was still pinned to the wall as she said "Now Oblivio won't be expecting you in the future my love."

Raziel eyed Fury and asked "Wait you and Kain...?"

Kain cracked his neck from side to side and stated "It's a long story Raziel... one that we'll have to discuss it somewhere far from here."

Lostlight (three days later)

Bayonetta had been to focus praying for so she could use her Holy heritage better as Nathaniel and Death remained observing while Rosa and Balder walked out of the portal from Rodin's bar with Rosa holding Alice and asking "Hey boys how is she doing?"

Rosa and Balder turned to see Bayonetta as Nathaniel explained "She is quiet resistant to the Holy magics of her outfit but she has yet to harness all that Holy power within her."

Balder sighed and walked towards Bayonetta without saying a word as Nathaniel asked "What is he doing?"

Rosa placed her hand on her hip and responded with a proud smile "Being a father of course."

Death remained silent as Balder walked over to Bayonetta as her eyelids that were closed twitched in a irritated manner before removing her hands and groaning out loud in pure frustration.

Balder stood next to Bayonetta silently as she dropped to her knees and admitted "This is pointless, I'm only good with the Wicked Weaves and other Dark magics, how can I possibly unlock the Light side of my heritage."

Balder eyed Bayonetta and knelt down and pointed at her stating "Because you are as much of a member of the Umbra clan as you are a member of the Lumen, (places hands on Bayonetta's shoulders) and we both know without a doubt it's not your heritage holding you back Cereza."

Bayonetta looked down and asked "Will I change after this?"

Balder scoffed and responded appropriately "Hell no, my sweet child. (looks back to see Rosa and Alice) When I was exiled from my clan, there were days I doubted the Light, days where I considered it a curse upon myself... yet the only thing that kept me sane was the memory of you and Rosa."

Bayonetta looked at her father who formed a soft smile as he patted her shoulder and suggested "Perhaps you would find it easier if you did the same for your fiancé and daughter."

Bayonetta turned back to see Death and Alice who smiled gleefully reaching out to her as Bayonetta smiled proudly as her nun outfit glowed brightly as her scar began to fade until it completely vanished which caught the attention of everyone else as Balder nodded silently and said "Well done my dear sweet child."

Nathaniel flew up to Bayonetta clapping his armored hands and praised "Well done Witch..."

But before Nathaniel could finish Bayonetta reeled her fist as her hair extended and formed a portal for Madama Butterfly's fist to be thrown out and hit Nathaniel sending him flying across the ground as Death shook his head.

Alice laughed in a entertained manner as Rosa winced and teased "Oh dear... I hope he's alright."

Caldrus walked out of the tower with a mug of alcohol with Rodin who said with a proud tone "He'll be fine my little brother might not be as strong as me but he's undoubtedly just as tough, guy survived a horde of Nephilim, a giant fist isn't gonna put him down for good."

Nathaniel was seen laying on his face and groaned in annoyance and thought out loud though in a quiet tone "I swear by the Creator Rodin... you've given me a handful to deal with!"

Moments later Nathaniel had returned to Bayonetta and summoned a large Redemption cannon and stated "Now that you've opened your body to your holy heritage we shall begin your..."

But the Lucien's voice boomed as the Crystal Spire's top shined greatly "NATHANIEL, SEND UP THE HORSEMAN AND WITCH TO ME, I WISH TO SPEAK TO THEM IN PERSON!"

Caldrus bowed though he grumbled incoherently in annoyance of the Archon as Nathaniel grunted and bowed as he responded in a respectful tone "As you command... my lord!"

Nathaniel eyed Bayonetta and formed a proud smile and said "Keep the gun."

Bayonetta formed a excited grin and teased "Stop making me feel bad for killing pigeons in the past!"

Nathaniel shook his head and teased while crossing his arms "No."

But on the other side of the Spire Geryon was seen walking and looking back to see if he was being followed or not before he turned forward with his eyes glowing bright blue. The Time steed opened a portal and galloped through as another portal opened behind the first which had begun to close with Geryon charging back out the portal though mysteriously had bloodstained hooves.

At the Tree of Life, the bounty hunters known as the Knights of Soulfire walked out of a portal from the Tree as the Templar armored skeleton walked out and said with a mildly happy tone "Ahhhh... what a glorious sight to behold!"

The purpled flaming Skeleton placed his hands behind his back and scoffed in contempt at the sight of the Angelic world and said "Despite my Angelic heritage I always found my Demonic parts to be far more appealing and far more enjoyable."

The Templar remained silent as the others stood in silence as their leader turned and ordered "We are here to slay Death, the leader of the Four Horsemen, the the brother that murdered me! Knight you will forth and scout ahead, learn anything that may be useful to us, I want to exploit any and all weaknesses that Death may have!"

The Templar nodded and responded "As you command my liege... The Heathen will suffer in your name one way or another."

The Templar mounted on top of the Stalker skeleton and rode off as the Nephilim skeleton's face shadowed with his eye-sockets burning with the purple flames that have engulfed his body.

Later Bayonetta and Death followed by their crow companions reached the top of the Spire with Bayonetta still wearing her nun outfit where the four were immediately, though momentarily blinded by the radiance of the Archon's light that shined from his bare skin. The Archon sat upon a throne that stood on a pillar of which only those with wings could reach, and on the floor in front of the pillar was a pool that strangely seemed to be an Angelic version of the pool that Oblivio had in his own throne room.

The pool had a vision of an old Angel with a white fur collared armor whose eyepatch over his right eye had a cross-like symbol engraved on it but Lucien waved his hand making the vision of said angel vanish as he said "Out of the shadows and into the light. I see you Horseman... and Witch the things you have done, (clenches fist) the lives you have ended... (voice distorts) I know why you are here."

Dust and Brighteyes looked at the Archon with suspicion as the Crowfather saw through their eyes and hearing the Lucien's voice through them had formed a suspicious look on his face as Rodin noticed and asked "You ok old man?"

The Crowfather responded "I am not sure but the Archon's voice for a moment seemed... strange..."

Back with Bayonetta and Death the two noticed the Archon's distorted voice as Death squinted while reaching his hand out and responded coldly "Then you will give us the key."

Lucien leaned forward ignoring that his voice had been distorted for a short moment and responded "I have guarded the key for centuries. (quickly stands up in a proud posture) It is mine. And I will not part with (passively wave right hand) it lightly."

Lucien teleported out of his throne room and out onto the rail-less balcony overseeing the Angelic fleet and city and placed his hands behind his back continuing "Not now. Corruption spreads. (gestures hand towards the city) In our city, (His four wings open up while Bayonetta and Dark turn and walk towards him) in our hearts! Only I remain pure, a beacon against this darkness, (places hands behind his back and beneath his lower wings helpless to push it back."

Death gestured his hand towards Lucien stating confidently "We're not all helpless, Archon."

Lucien turned around rubbing his chin in thought while responding "Hmhp... (gestures hand outward) Perhaps not. (fully turns to face the deadly duo) After the seals were broken, and Hell's legions loosed upon the Earth, (places hands in a praying pose) many divine relics were lost. (raises right hand's index finger) One, the Rod of Arafel, could help reverse (gestures back to the city and fleet) what has happened here."

Bayonetta squinted at Lucien in a distrustful expression as he continued "I dare not retrieve the rod myself. the gates to the White City are closed to any Angel who visits Earth. (looks at Death and Bayonetta) but you two... are no Angel. (walks passed Death and Bayonetta) Acquire the Rod, and I will clear path (wavs hand) into my Citadel. There you will find the key to the Tree of Life. As for what you will find on Earth... after you face it, even you may curse the name of War."

Bayonetta and Death eyed each-other seemingly agreeing that Lucien was not to be fully trusted as the Angel held his hand out to his pool which showed a vision of the destroyed Earth and assured "The Pool will bring you two to Earth. Do not tarry here."

Bayonetta crossed her arms keeping her distrustful glare as Death questioned "How does a City of Light fall to Corruption?"

Lucien explained "It wasn't the City that Fell, but those within. (hold up an index finger) It began with just one Angel. Weak of will, given to doubts. When the darkness called... (face glows brighter as his eyes shake) he welcomed it."

Death and Bayonetta could not notice Lucien's eye shake as his face glowed brighter to hide them as he continued "From him the Corruption spread. (gestures hand out towards the duo) It seemed only I could sense it, gathering above our heads/ And though I warned my brothers of the storm that was to come, the did not listen, only my blacksmith and my most loyal guard listened. Only when the cloud burst, did the city fall. And other realms have fallen since."

Bayonetta eyed the pool and questioned "Your pool. Is it the only way to Earth?"

Lucien waved his hand passively responding "Is it the only path that I know of. You can thank the Horseman's Masters for that. To preserve the Balance, the Charred Council forbade all travel to the Third Kingdom... and destroyed those means that already existed. (gestures hand towards the Tree of Life's direction) Even the Tree of Life was burnt, like so much kindling."

Death adjusted his gauntlet and stated "Yet you have the means to travel to Earth."

Lucien smirked as he responded "Not everyone obeys the Council, Death. That is why they have their Horsemen."

Death changed the subject and questioned "You spoke of this realm as if it were your own?"

Lucien gestured his hand out and responded in a pompous tone "The guards called this place Lostlight, but it is here that the light is to be found. And I am its source."

Bayonetta scoffed clearly not buying Lucien's proud claims as Death ignored the claim and changed the subject again and pointed at the Archon while saying in a tired and cold tone "If you want the Rod, you'll tells us where to find it."

Lucien explained while placing his hand on his hip "I have seen much, while staring into the deep, but that I cannot tell you. The Kingdom of Man was swallowed by darkness when the armies of Hell invaded. (waves other hand) I have seen only glimpses of the Earth since then, but enough to know that the Rod of Arafel is safe. And our only hope of redemption."

Bayonetta eyed the pool and questioned "How much time of this world will it take for us to find this Rod?"

Lucien explained while walking over to the pool and gestured his hand towards it "The pool peers through time and space Witch, ignoring the time while making the distance you need to travel once you have completed the task and return it will be at most minutes for to me."

Death sighed and added "Unless it takes us days than it may be more like an hour."

Lucien adjusted his gauntlet and responded in a condescending tone "I am certain my immortality can handle an hour's worth of waiting."

Bayonetta rolled her eyes in annoyance of Lucien's pride while Death ignored it completely before gesturing his hand towards the pool and teased Bayonetta "Shall we?"

Bayonetta smirked and jumped into the pool which cast her across time and space until she reemerged a indoor fountain that had an Angel statue standing over it. Water ran down her wet nun outfit though strangely it remained as if it never was drenched in water with Death emerging as well from the fountain portal along with their two crow companions.

Outside the building were undead humans hissing and growling comparable to wild animals as it rained with Death hearing the mindless corpses and looked at Bayonetta and whispered "We must will need to be swift and not draw any attention to ourselves here..."

Bayonetta smiled and teased with a quiet tone "You do know who you're talking to love?"

Death reached the building's entrance with Dust perching on his shoulder cawing with Death ordering "Quiet! There are more than corpses about..."

Bayonetta rolled her eyes with a smile as one of these undead human got shot in the back of it's head leaving it completely headless with blood splattering the nearby undead as Death and Bayonetta looked upwards to see a group of armored Angels with gun spears. One in particular, a female Angel whose wings glowed a faint golden light as her hair was long and creamy white, her armor kept her well safe while also showing how curvy hourglass body.

Bayonetta eyed the Angel who raised her large sword and shouted defiantly along with her followers "FOR ABADDON!"

Bayonetta nodded with an impressed look and said "So refreshing to see Angels not be so hideous to look at."

Death squinted at the leading Angel in confusion as she and her followers swooped down and effortlessly struck down the weak undead humans as the Reaper himself thought aloud though in a quiet tone "Uriel? What are the Hellguard doing on Earth?"

Bayonetta eyed Death and questioned "You know this Angel?"

But while it seemed that the Angels were winning against the undead the battle drew the attention to a large four armed and bulky creature known as a Suffering beast it's hide and head decorated with the skulls of humans and Angels alike. The beast clambered over a broken wall and backhanded an undead before smashing it's upper fists onto another leaving only a trail of blood in it's wake before roaring at Uriel with it's long purple tongue wiggling out it's maw.

Uriel charged at the beast who reacted by slamming a fist down in front of Uriel who dodged and countered by swipping her blade at the creature but it blocked the attack with one of it's other arms' wrists and shoved her away. The Suffering growled before slamming it's upper fists down and before using it's lower fist to trick Uriel but she easily leaned to the side and dodged the attack as attempted to strike at it's head.

But the Suffering used it's last arm to smack Uriel through a human made statue of an Angel leaving some of Uriel's feathers behind as the beast roared in a somewhat joyous manner before charging at Uriel again while Death groaned lowly and said "Ooooh damn it!"

Death ran out as Bayonetta snickered and teased while chasing after "Hey I thought we needed to stay quiet!"

Death unsheathed his scythes and responded "Just help me kill these beasts won't you?"

Bayonetta chuckled in amusement as the Suffering noticed Death and immediately retreated and leaped onto a building and began to climb it until it turned back and roared into the sky, the roar sounded more like a horn drawing the attention of the swarms of undead.

Uriel sat up and eyed Bayonetta and Death and sneered in distrust but hearing the Suffering's roar drew her attention, she stood up and swiped her sword out and commanded "HELLGUARD TO ME!"

Bayonetta summoned her Redemption cannon and began to fire slow powerful shots of holy energy at incoming swarm of undead and whistled in an impressed manner and teased "Oooooooh this gun is amazing!"

The Hellguard Angels eyed each-other before hovering over Bayonetta and began to take fire upon the incoming swarm with Death walking next to Bayonetta and pulled out Redemption and began to blast any undead he can. The combined fire power caused a stalemate within the battle until Uriel flew up and glowed white as portals opened up around the undead and began to rain down swords made from pure holy magic.

Some of these magical swords were not consistent in size and would crash down through buildings and left craters which caused everyone else to stop firing as a building fell down on top of the undead burying them while the rest retreated.

Bayonetta eyed Uriel who stopped glowing and slowly descended down and was helped down by two of her soldiers with one saying "Easy Uriel..."

Uriel panted heavily in a exhausted manner but eyed Bayonetta and Death and said "I should kill you for what your brother did here... but you saved my life and the lives of my men... consider us even."

Bayonetta eyed Uriel's appearance and complimented "Oh my you are a pretty Angel!"

Uriel eyed Bayonetta with a confused stare before awkwardly responding but her expression quickly turned mildly annoyed though it made her seem more cute than annoyed "I... I do not understand why some of you humans keep complimenting on my looks. I am warrior and humbled servant to Heaven!"

Bayonetta smiled and teased "Oh you are adorable!"

Uriel pouted as a few of her soliders were heard in the background laughing in amusement as Uriel blushed and ordered loudly "WHO TOLD YOU ALL YOU WERE OFF DUTY!"

The other Angels scattered and quickly went to keep a look out as Uriel sighed and questioned "What brings one of the Four here?"

Death placed his hand on his hip and explained "We are looking for the Rod of Arafel, as we require it for Archon Lucien."

Uriel rubbed her hair in frustration and responded "It was taken by the Demons after Archon Hestus fell in battle, the Destroyer had the rod broken apart into three pieces before scattering each piece across this human city to fuel his machinations and armies. We even employed the help of a Human survivor to try to claim one of the pieces..."

Death grunted and questioned "There are human survivors?!"

Uriel nodded and stated "I only know of one, The Hunter."

Death squinted and questioned where can we find this Hunter?"

Uriel sighed and stated "Unknown, he covers his tracks well and has proven to be a welcome thorn to the Demons' side."

Uriel felt a strange power emanating from Bayonetta's outfit and said "Your robes human... is that the robes of Caldrus?"

Bayonetta eyed Death who looked at each her as she questioned "You know him?"

Uriel smiled fondly as she responded "I do he's a dear friend, and was among the greatest of Heaven's warriors..."

Death placed his hand on his hip and gestured his other hand towards Uriel stating "That is high praise coming from you Uriel... he seemed rather out of shape and only good for clearing out alcohol."

Uriel looked down and responded "No... not many warriors outside our kingdom are wildly known outside a few exceptions, but I am certain you've heard of the Demons referring to him as the Wretched Flame?"

Death widened his eyes as he removed his hand from his hip and questioned "He's the Wretched Flame? My how far he's fallen..."

Bayonetta had a confused look on her face as she demanded in a playful tone "Mind to bring me up to speed love?"

Death gestured his hand towards Bayonetta and explained "The Wretched Flame was an Angel who for a long time an feared Angel on the battlefield most Demons aside from the Demon Lords would flee for their lives rather than be burned by the Angel's flaming wings."

Uriel added while placing her hands on the hilt of her blade "Caldrus' wings were unique even among Angel as his wings would burst with holy fire and he used them to both intimidate our enemies and boost morale for his fellow warriors... that is until his hated enemy Moloch broke them."

Bayonetta formed a curious look as Uriel continued "Caldrus and Moloch fought many times on the battlefield both proving to be each-other's equals until one day when the Dark Prince offered Moloch a Blood mantle which made Moloch near invincible..."

Death nodded and added "I heard about Moloch's unending strength from my brothers War and Strife when they faced him in battle."

Uriel nodded and finished "Since his wings were broken our healers attempted to restore them... but the damage was too great and Caldrus' wings proofed to be beyond saving we know not how Moloch managed to badly damage them but Caldrus' days as a warrior were over. (smile fondly) he instead took it upon himself to train new recruits and I was among those who were trained by him... though one of his previous students, Hadrimon turned against us."

Death froze at the name of Hadrimon as Uriel finished "The Angel's lover was cast down from Heaven and was accepted by Hell and cause Hadrimon to grow spiteful for the judgement and he used his training to attempt to break the truce between Heaven and Hell... Caldrus feared he may have trained more like Hadrimon and chose to serve as a Blacksmith at Lostlight."

Somewhere else on Earth

The two Task Masters that served Lilith were seen exiting a portal with one carrying a large crystal in one arm and the other Demoness dragging a cage full of Demonic Hellhounds and they bowed before a large Demon who was quiet obese with a long three tipped tail and tiny upside down wings. The Demon's helmet covered the upper half of his head leaving only his mouth exposed as he feasted upon what seemed to be dead humans that weren't rotting.

The large Demon made satisfied moans as he feasted on the flesh of Humans as he turned to see the two Demonesses and wiped his bloodied mouth clean of said blood and said "Ahhh more morsels to sate my hunger."

The Task Master that dragged the hounds responded "Our lady has sent us to give you what was promised, Belial."

The Demon now revealed to be the Demon Lord Belial grinned and accepted the cage of Hellhounds who all whined and pure horror and terror as if they knew what was going to happen to them by the hands of Belial. The other Task Master gave the crystal to Belial who grabbed it and crushed it in his bare palm as a large cluster of souls erupted out and into his body as he hissed in satisfaction.

The two Demonesses began to take their leave as a gunshot was heard but Belial quickly reached his hand out and grabbed the bullet that was headed for one of the Demonesses and eyed up the wall to see the last known human on Earth simply known as The Hunter who held a sniper-rifle and said in anger "Shit!"

Belial scoffed and ordered "That was foolish, Hunter... BOYZ KILL THE HUNTER AND BRING ME HIS SKULL!"

Demonic portals erupted all around as Demon Legionaries rose up along with a few shamans and Defilers as the Hunter growled before retreating pulling out a revolver to blast a Legionare that was in his way.

The Task masters quietly left as Belial scoffed as the portal closed behind them and said "Pffft disgusting scent of Lilith's excess of of pleasures!"

With Geryon

Geryon ran out of the portal he created and was within a large cavern with a giant mech and large sentry guns pointing at the phantom steed who turned to see what appeared to be a human man who was mostly bald except for a small patch of white/platinum hair and goatee. The Warrior eyed Geryon with his left eye while his right was blinded from a battle scar, the warrior squinted in contempt before picking up a metal rode and flicked his wrist making the rod form a red energy Warhammer and held onto the hilt with two hands.

Geryon bowed his head in respect of the warrior who responded "You cannot trick me Demon! I will not fall for another lie again!"

Geryon's eyes glowed as a voice echoed through the warrior's mind "I am no Demon, Commander Valen of the Night Sentinels!"

The warrior shook his head and shouted in anger "DO NOT TAUNT ME FOUL BEAST!"

Geryon eyed the cannons and made Valen watch as they began to rust and fall apart as if time was sped up just for the cannons alone while the voice stated "I am than capable of ending you this way if you'd prefer Argentia!"

Valen looked in both awe and horror as he questioned "What... are you?"

Geryon reeled up kicking his front legs and responded "I am the unseen Cosmic God of Time! And I have need of your assistance in a foreign time far ahead of your present."

Valen shook his head and refused "I... cannot... I must pay for my treachery."

Geryon shook his head and responded "Your world is dead, your people gone, your son is free from his torment, King Novik no longer rules over you, Valen. What I offer is a fresh start... one you must earn, certainly but you will find yourself upon a world that values the same love of music as the Doom Slayer."

Valen smiled faintly and nodded responding "His strange music does resinate with me... but I must refuse... if I must die here then so be it!"

Geryon lowered his head and stated "I'm afraid I will not respect your desire, Commander Valen!"

Geryon vanished in Valen's eyes who grunted before being lifted up by Geryon who opened a portal and with blinding speeds galloped through it the whole act was like a blur to Valen's eyes and the two emerged from the portal within a a jungle landscape.

Valen fell off Geryon shivering as if he wasn't well suited for time travel while Geryon's voice was heard inside his head "Forgive me, young Argenta... but you do not yet realize it yet but you would not die fighting the Demons of your time. I give your this second chance at life not because I pity you, but because you will play an important role if the Brutal Lands of Ormagoden's is to be of any use in the coming war ahead."

Valen breathed slowly as if he was slowly warming up while cursing the phantom steed "Damn you beast!"

Geryon turned his head attentively away from Valen and responded "The Zaulia will come... prove your worth to them and you will find your place in this land of Heavy Metal."

Geryon opened a portal and galloped through leaving Valen behind as he struggled to stand up before a large feline beast charged out from the bushes and roared at Valen.

Valen eyed the black furred beast whose face was painted with a black and white warpaint and was adorned with spiked metal cuffs on the front legs as Valen held up his hammer and silently stared down the beast who breathed fire out of it's mouth before pouncing at him.

Valen dived beneath the beast and thought to himself while continuelly dodging the beast's attacks "This beast wears cuffs on it's front legs and warpaint on it's face... you belong to someone."

The beast roared at Valen who responded by shouting out his own battlecry "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!"

The Beast looked around seemingly confused as Valen twirled his hammer and slammed the head down onto the ground and panted heavily making the beast take a few steps back before seemingly bowing in respect. But the beast again pounced at Valen who reacted by just punching it in the nose making it roar in pain before mindlessly swiping at him while he easily dodged each attack.

But above the battle were a group of women who wore spiked leather outfits that covered extremely less skin keeping their vaguely muscular and athletic bodies revealed and offered no protection at all.

The women wore similar warpaint as the beast that was seen fighting Valen as they observed in silence while Valen was seen easily besting the beast while some of the women squinted as if they were intrigued by Valen's combat prowess. But one amongst these scantily clothes women was one who appeared to be their leader who wore a black panther pelt over head and shoulders with it's head used as a helmet or headdress while she wielded a tribal spear.

One of the women turned towards their leader and asked "The Blue steed has retreated Queen Rima, what shall we do with the man it's dropped off?"

Rima looked down at Valen who punched the beast's face making it hiss at him as he growled back in response while Rima raised a brow seemingly impressed by Valen's fierce stance against the beast and ordered "Call of the best, we will meet this stranger directly!"

The other women nodded and dropped down from the branches and pointed their spears at Valen as Rima dropped down next to the beast and calmed "Shhhhh... it is alright, he is indeed mighty to avoid your claws."

Valen eyed the women around him and noticed that the women wore little to no clothes and thought to himself "These women... they are warriors, and great ones if they are willingly not wearing armor for battle..."

Rima eyed Valen and noticed his right eye was blind and questioned "What brings you to this land?"

Valen looked around seeing the women slowly surrounding him as he responded "It was not by choice, I can assure you of that, that foul beast took me from my exile and brought me here for what purpose... I do not yet know. Though it did claim that a war was coming."

Rima and the other women looked at each-other as she ordered "Take him prisoner, he will be judged by the Blood of Ormagoden."

Valen tightened his grip around the hilt of his hammer and said coldly "If you want to imprison me you'll have to do so over my dead rotting corpse!"

Valen kicked his hammer up and took stance for another fight as Rima stated "You know not of my land or it's laws, the only reason I do not have my fellow Zaulia here kill you is because we respect your skills as a warrior from what little we have seen."

Valen looked down in thought as Rima promised "If you wish to know these lands we can be of help but only if we take you in chains and seek the wisdom of the Cremator of the sky!"

Valen sighed and eased his stance before handing his hammer to one of the Zaulia and stated "If I don't get this back, you'll have me to deal with!"

The woman scoffed in a pleased tone and joked "He's still has fire in him my Queen, he would make a suitable mate for you."

Rima passively waved it off and responded while keeping a calm expression "Enough, take the newcomer to our village!"
