"Vigrid, City of Deja Vu"
Bayonetta and Phantom prepare to continue onwards but they noticed more angels in the sky they came crashing down and it was the woman in red "You again." Phantom said.
The woman soon began tearing the angels apart with her motorcycle "Most impressive." Phantom said.
Bayonetta kicked an angel before shooting one in the head. Phantom shot two with one bullet. The woman was on the side of the wall "Fancy bumping into you here." the woman said.
"Out to find some answers about your past, are we?" she asked.
"You've quite the familiar face. And using the same powers." Bayonetta said.
"But you'll have to forgive me, do we know each other?" Bayonetta asked.
"Same powers!?" the woman asked.
"Don't make me laugh. Your little dip in that lake has left you a bit rusty." the woman said.
"Here we go." Phantom said.
He kneel down knowing this wasn't his fight "I've been high and dry for 20 years now. The only rust on me is from the lack of any real challenge. Perhaps you're up for the task." Bayonetta said.
The woman pulled something out "You've already disappointed me." she said and turned her eyes to Bayonetta.
Bayonetta noticed her Umbran Watch was taken by the woman. She jumped to grab it but the woman tossed it into the air and started her motorcycle. Bayonetta jumped onto the side and began shooting at her but the woman got her high heels on the handles and drove it without looking and Bayonetta fell off.
The woman attempted to grab the watch but Phantom grabbed it first "Impressive." the woman said.
"I easily impress." he said.
"This is a moment I have long desired. But you've forgotten your destiny and wasted the past 20 years." the woman said.
Ghost handed Bayonetta her watch back "You're right, I do seem to be having trouble remembering things of late." Bayonetta said.
The woman pulled out her own watch "Would you be so kind as to take it from the top?" Bayonetta asked.
"Two overseers… The Eyes of the World. They are the power behind everything." she said.
"Everything?" Phantom asked.
Bayonetta flashbacked to the ancient times. It was the woman as a teenager she was in a room filled with other witches "Jeanne, as heir to the clan, the time has come for you to prove your right to fight under the Umbran name. You may select opponents of your choice." the elder said.
Jeanne threw a knife at a cell it seemed to have Bayonetta in it "Then allow me to face the outcast." Jeanne selected her opponent.
"No! It is forbidden! The child is of impure blood. Challenging her would be a violation of our tenets of faith!" the elder said.
"It would not be the first time we have faced each other." Jeanne said.
"What!?" the elder asked.
"Will you face me in this hallowed arena?" Jeanne asked.
"Well if I must, but I pray you've got a little something for me in return. You know, I'm very fond of stuffed animals." Bayonetta said.
The two faced off both were equally skilled in combat and magic. Jeanne was powerful but Bayonetta defeated her.
In the present day Bayonetta nearly fell to her knees but Phantom steadied her "You okay?" Ghost asked.
Bayonetta looked beneath her and she felt another sense of power. Witch Walk the power to walk on the walls "Jeanne…" Bayonetta said.
"Let's move." Phantom said.
The two walked on the wall and fought a small group of angels. Phantom never knew he had this power. Once the clouds have covered the moon the ability was taken away.
They made it to the streets Phantom sat down he was a little tired elsewhere in the streets a guard was chasing a man in Vigrid clothing. The man startled a woman but he took the hood off and looked at the woman "Do you believe in fate?" he asked the woman.
"Fate brought us here together, and it will never tear us apart." the man said.
He leaves and used his grapple hook to evade the guard "Fuck! Where'd that bugger go!" the guard asked.
The guard leaves in frustration the man jumped onto the streets "Sayonara!" he said.
He smelled something Phantom was sitting "Fleur de Cirey, Eau du Parfum." the man said.
"Such a wonderful floral bouquet, with its subtle hints of Rosemary. You know, in the language of flowers, rosemary equates to remembrance." the man said.
"I guess you're not talking to me dude?" Phantom asked.
"Which doesn't quite to you, now does it, Bayonetta." the man said.
He had a camera and looked into the direction of a window he saw his reflection and Bayonetta shooting into the air, scaring him. "Shit!" he reacted.
"Will you stop that!?" he asked.
"Here we go someone else who knows Bayonetta." Phantom said.
"That little bug on Enzo was a nice touch. Seeing you here, I suppose it wasn't the only one." Bayonetta said.
The man couldn't see her because she was in Purgatorio she touched him startling him. "You've certainly bloomed, haven't you, my little Cheshire puss?" Bayonetta said.
"I'm not your pet. The name is Luka. A name you better remember." Luka said.
She tripped him and he fell back Phantom looked up "You might wanna get out of the way." Phantom said.
The two dodge the falling sign. "Damn it! Wait! You can't just run away from me like that!" Luka said.
"I know what I saw that day!" Luka said.
"What day?" Phantom asked.
Flashbacked 20 years ago when Luka was a child he was at the same lake Bayonetta was in. His father in scuba gear swam to the bottom of the lake and opened the casket which freed Bayonetta. She was there floating in the air. Luka's father was suspended in the air and had his limbs torn apart "FATHER!" young Luka cried out.
Back to the present day "I know all about your kind." Luka said.
"Sure, my colleagues laugh at me for chasing fairy tales, amongst other things, but I know they are real! I know the truth!" Luka said.
Soon angels appeared Bayonetta and Phantom prepared themselves "This smell… It's the same smell that clung to the air the day my father was murdered." Luka said.
Bayonetta and Phantom knew where this was going "Which means I'm right on your doorstep, Bayonetta!" Luka said as he mistakenly pointed at the angels not Bayonetta.
Bayonetta shot the angel that was about to attack Luka "I'll let you in on a little secret, Cheshire." Bayonetta said.
"The name is Luka." Luka said.
There was shooting all around him but he couldn't see. He looked into the window and saw Bayonetta shooting at it sending glass into the air "You need to hone your sense of smell, my dear. There's no rosemary in the perfume." Bayonetta said.
She got battle ready "After all, rosemary's a demon repellent." Bayonetta said.
The two Umbran warriors fought the angels Bayonetta used her bullet arts jumping onto several angels and jumping into the air. Phantom threw some sticky disc onto the angels and fired at it making ricochet off the disc and fired into several angels heads. The two defeated the angels.
The fighting ended and things seemed normal but Luka was angered "You only run away so fast because you've got something to run from… me!" Luka said.
"But you can't escape me forever!" he said.
Behind was Bayonetta who was thinking about Luka's words. He grappled away and Phantom didn't mind it. They continued through town and entered what appeared to be a church-like building. The two entered they both heard something moving behind them.
They kept hearing what sounded like someone was walking "Who's there?" Bayonetta asked.
No one answered the two aimed their guns and found it was a kid running around Bayonetta exited Purgatorio "You've played enough hide and seek, my scurrying little friend." she said.
"It's a kid." Phantom said.
"What are you doing running around Vigrid? You're certainly not dressed in your Sunday best." Bayonetta said to the kid.
She looked up to her "Hey she looks familiar." Phantom said.
Bayonetta flashbacked to what appears to be a woman imprisoned and the child. By the time Bayonetta come to her senses the kid was gone Phantom seemed to have let her go as he was simply sitting down.
Soon a giant angel dragon appeared Bayonetta got another flashback seeing the dragon like angel "The Eyes of the World… The two overseers… What once was held in the hands of the witch clan shall now be held in ours!" the angel said.
Bayonetta appeared angry "Let's do this." the two attacked the angel. He removed his head and the building from the ground. He tossed them into the air and fired fireballs at them Bayonetta activities Witch Time which didn't affect Phantom.
She used the building and tossed it at the fireball shielding the two before falling back to the ground.
