Epilogue: Ryosuke's Master Plan
Jeanne didn't want to listen to Ryosuke's stupid fucking plan because adrenaline was still pumping in her blood.
"Bayonetta, you'll retell me all this shit, I'm off to skate in my beast form." Jeanne announced and ran away before anyone could say anything.
After a minute of silence, understanding of the situation came to Bayonetta and she started talking. "Well, I think we two should be off to discussing your plan, then."
Ryosuke offered Bayonetta to sit on the couch and took out his blackboard. He started speaking.
"Yeah, so first we'll race the local team of Akina Speedstars. It's a good place to start as I noted your drivi.." A bang came from the basement. "What the fuck?"
"Go on." Bayonetta said.
"Shit, I think we should check on what that was."
"The bang? You're free to check it."
"No, actually, you go with me, I haven't been there in ten years. It's terrifying to go down there."
"Ah, whatever." Bayonetta got up from the couch and went to investigate together with Ryosuke.
The basement door was rusty and the whole place gave out a horrible smell. Ryosuke unlocked and opened the door.
"Bayonetta, you go first." Ryosuke said in fear. "I'm just too terrified of the place."
Bayonetta hated cowards so she pushed Ryosuke through the door instead.
"Ahhh, shit!"
"Man up, Ryosuke." The witch said as she closed the door and held it shut. "I'll let you out once you solve our little problem."
For about five minutes Bayonetta could only hear Ryosuke walking around in the dark basement and sometimes saying things like "where's the damn door" and "I wish I remembered how to turn the lights on". Once he found the door, he started banging on it.
"Bayonetta, let me out." He screamed.
"Are you over with whatever business you had there?"
"Yes."
They climbed the stairs. Upon entering his room, Ryosuke noticed his plans were gone.
"What!? Where are the papers?" He screamed as he started looking all around the room. "Uhh, I can't believe what just happened."
"Wait, you mean we've just been fucked?"
"Yes..."
Jeanne was in the middle of a large combo when her cell phone rang.
"Yes?"
"Jeanne, the fucking plans, they're gone!"
"What do you mean, Cereza?"
"We got robbed!"
"How the hell did that happen?"
"We got distracted and the robbers supposedly climbed through the window."
"Is the plan such a valuable thing anyway?"
"Ryosuke says he was working on it for a whole year and we're not gonna get anywhere without it! They include all the theory!"
"Oh shit."
"Have you seen any suspicious vehicles around?"
"No, nothing of the unordina... Wait, I see a familiar van!" Jeanne screamed and hung up.
"Ryosuke, we're off to the skate park!" Bayonetta shouted as she grabbed Ryosuke's hand.
[Eurobeat Alert]
They got into the BMW. Bayonetta inserted the Eurobeat tape and they arrived at the skate park in no time. The van was supposedly turbocharged as it was going 160 km/h and Jeanne in her beast form wasn't fast enough to keep up with it.
"Fuck off! We're not the ones you're looking for!" Chains screamed as he saw the BMW approach.
Bayonetta began ramming the van and soon she was able to make it spin out and stop. Jeanne started shooting the PAYDAY gang. After all off them got downed, the witches were surprised to see it was empty.
"What the fuck? Where are the plans?" Ryosuke shouted in panic.
"I swear, we know nothing! We were paid to distract you, that's all." Sydney shouted.
The witches executed a torture attack on Sydney.
"Shit! We're just a decoy! The real thief is headed to Akagi! Please don't kill us!" Chains screamed.
The ULRT members got in the car and took Chains with them. Bayonetta drove to Akagi.
"Shit, we're gonna get killed!" Chains mumbled. "The boss would not be happy."
"Shut up! You better tell us where the thief is!" Jeanne said in annoyance.
"They must be at the top of the mountain already!"
Bayonetta started drifting through the corners as she didn't have nearly as much mana Witch Driving up a mountain required.
"Impressive, your skills have definitely improved." Ryosuke noted.
"Jeanne, help me execute perfect drifts!" Bayonetta suddenly shouted.
Jeanne got on top of the car and started using an accessory to enter Witch Time and kick the back of the car to send it into a drift at full speed.
"That's what I meant by other magic uses! The Witch Dorifto!" Bayonetta was proud of Jeanne.
A sharp turn was coming up.
"Cereza, a sharp one!" Jeanne shouted. She straight up used a Wicked Weave on the car's back and sent it into a sudden and fast drift.
That allowed Bayonetta to pass the corner at full speed.
"Ahh, it's shame Wicked Weaving the Bentley will destroy it!" Jeanne noted.
They reached the top of Akagi and saw a Bugatti in front of them.
"That's the car!" Chains said.
The Bugatti driver noticed the witches and stepped on the gas. With help from Jeanne, Bayonetta was able to keep up during the downhill race.
"Jeanne, get inside, we're about to go fast!" Bayonetta shouted to Jeanne after the mountain road was over.
After her Umbran Sister got back into the car, Bayonetta resumed the Eurobeat playlist as there was a long straight road ahead and it was safe to drive at full speed again.
The Bugatti was definitely fast as the witches were barely able to keep up with it, even with the playlist blasting.
Suddenly, Ryosuke started speaking. "Hold on, I think he's not even driving to his full potential!"
"What!?" Everybody was surprised to hear such a thing, even Chains.
They passed a small town, waking up it's whole population. It wasn't a big surprise police was called. Soon after passing the town, both cars entered a highway.
"Cereza, I think the police is after us!" Jeanne said. "Strange, I haven't seen police officers driving Corvettes before!"
"This is the SCPD! We will shut this race down!" The megaphone screamed.
The corvettes were only the beginning, though, as helicopters joined the chase soon after.
"A Hot Pursuit, huh?" Bayonetta noted.
It was hard for the Bugatti driver to dodge the traffic so the witches were able to get close to the car. A shadowy figure was sitting behind the wheel.
"Who could that be?" Ryosuke wondered.
Suddenly, a helicopter flew past them and dropped a spike strip. The Bugatti driver was able to dodge it, but Bayonetta hit it with two wheels.
"Shit!" She screamed.
Jeanne's reflexes kicked in and she used the accessory once again to replace the BMW's busted tyres with those she scavenged from other cars on the highway. During the whole repair job Bayonetta had to drive slowly so they lost sight on the Bugatti.
"Damn, we lost him, I should have changed the tyres faster!" Jeanne said when she got back in the car.
"You're not to blame." Bayonetta understood that it wasn't an easy job.
"My plans, my theory, my damn theory!" Rysouke screamed.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
"Hey brother, I just wanted to tell you something..."
"Damn it, Keisuke, it ain't time for this shit!"
"The Bugatti is heading towards Akina."
"What?"
"It's headed towards Akina. I can see it right now from my battle helicopter. Sorry, can't shoot it, I'll destroy the plans if I do. Moreover, I'm busy taking down the police helicopters."
"Brother, you're the best! Yet... How are you even able to keep up with the Bugatti?"
"I installed nitrous on this thing, LOL. Anyway, you should get here as soon as possible. I'll see you later." Keisuke hung up.
"Bayonetta, we're heading to Akina!" Rysouke said.
The witch exited the highway and started driving through the town. There was a lot of traffic and soon she used up all her magic.
"Come on, it's after midnight for fuck's sake, why are there so many cars?"
They reached Akina.
"The Bugatti is just up the mountain, get over there!" Keisuke spoke over radio.
"Jeanne, our technique!" Bayonetta shouted.
Jeanne got out of the car once again to help Bayonetta clear corners at higher speeds. Akina was an easier course, so no Wicked Weaves were required.
The Bugatti appeared in sight.
"EMP the Bugatti!" Keisuke shouted over radio.
"What?" Bayonetta didn't know anything about EMPs.
"It's the only way to stop him. Use the EMP!" Keisuke said.
"Just press this button!" Ryosuke explained to Bayonetta. He installed an EMP gun on the BMW when he was bored. He did not tell the witches of it, though.
This was the part of Akina that had a lot of corners, so it was impossible to use the EMP there.
"Get close to the Bugatti and use the EMP on the upcoming straight part." Ryosuke continued to explain. "Just don't overtake the car while locking on!"
"Understood." Bayonetta was now confident that she'll be able to successfully take down their rival.
[DEJA VU!]
Upon reaching the straight part, she pressed the EMP button. The EMP hit, but the Bugatti driver regained control.
"Should take another hit or two. There's another straight part three corners ahead." Keisuke announced.
"Jeanne, keep it up."
The witches passed the two corners at an incredible speed.
Another EMP hit sent the Bugatti to trade paint with a safety rail.
"Great job, just one more time! A straight part just around the corner."
The last EMP lock-on. The Bugatti slowed down in order to get behind the BMW and evade the hit, but Bayonetta rammed the car from behind.
"Don't fuck with a street racer!"
The EMP hit, sending the Bugatti into a spin. For a brief moment, Bayonetta could see a shadowy figure sitting behind the steering wheel. After about ten full revolutions, the car hit the safety rail and nearly fell down. The engine was destroyed in the collision, so the chase was over.
The witches, Ryosuke and Chains got out of the car. Keisuke landed nearby and got out of his helicopter, too. Bayonetta approached the Bugatti. The car was completely trashed and the engine was burning.
"Time to see who's behind it all." Bayonetta said as she opened the door.
To her surprise, there was no one inside the car. Ryosuke's plan was lying on the passenger seat. She picked it up.
The first page had a message written in marker over Ryosuke's text.
"You win this time.
Don't celebrate too early, however, as I'll still destroy your street racing careers later on.
Derek."
"Huh." Bayonetta didn't know anyone with such a name. No one around knew anything either, Chains didn't know anything of him too.
"Well, Bain met him, that's all. It's unlikely he'll speak, though. Damn, I would not speak if I knew anything. I'm a dead man now."
The police sirens interrupted the witches' little investigation. Bayonetta helped Ryosuke into Purgatorio, Jeanne and Keisuke escaped too. The police car approached the scene.
"We see the target, he's surrendered!" The officer said over radio.
"Hey, weren't there more people in the car?" His buddy asked.
"Remember, partner, we're not fighting for justice. We'll get our pay for this douche and that's enough."
The police officers took Chains and left the scene.
[Chains is in custody!]
Meanwhile in Purgatorio.
"Ehm, Jeanne... Do you want to take a ride in my helicopter?"
"Oh, hell yeah! Cereza, I'll see you later."
Keisuke and Jeanne disappeared into the dark obsidian night sky. Bayonetta remained with Ryosuke.
"You know, Ryosuke, you're actually a cool guy. I never knew there was an EMP in the BMW. You seem to know a lot about cars."
"Yeah. Actually, there was no EMP. I just installed it several days ago."
"How did you know we'll need it?"
"I have a talent of seeing the future."
"Oh, is it so?"
"Just kidding, I was just bored."
"LOL."
"Wait, hold on... There's something I have to say."
"What? To me?"
"Can't quite remember what that was... Ah, right. LET'S DANCE, RYOSUKE."
