"The Gates of Paradise"
Bayonetta and Phantom landed in the Proving Ground Ruins the sky was still full of the storm they encountered more angels Bayonetta used Bat Within to dodge some attacks. Phantom still fought with gun fu (something he named himself).
They saw a little girl just walking around the ruins.
Soon Inspireds appeared "Take cover!" Phantom shouted.
One Inspired came attacking Bayonetta; however she dodged the attack and jumped onto the angel's back and used Madama Butterfly's fist to deliver a series of punches before summoning Mapalus to finish the angel.
"Another fight with these guys they just kept sending after us." Phantom said.
Bayonetta seemed to enjoy Phantom's jokes and comments majority of times. They reached the top of the ruins and soon found the area they were in before now has poison in it "Oh that's just freaking great!" Phantom said.
Bayonetta used Partner Within to jump across with Phantom on her back. They entered a room with angels staring down onto something "What are you boys doing in here?" Bayonetta asked.
The angels turned around to stare at her "Are you hiding something from us?" she asked.
The angels prepared for battle
She turned her butt at them "Come on…" she dared.
They dared she battled all of them in beautiful styles this time Phantom simply watched the battle "Gotta give her credits she's really good, kinda wish I was like that." Phantom said.
Bayonetta grabbed an angel's neck "You've been cheating on me, haven't you?" she asked.
"Someone else caught your eye?" she asked. The angel nodded. She kicked the angel to the side.
"Oh, dear." she said. It was a kid.
The kid was crying "It's the same girl from the town." Phantom said.
"Something tells me I'm going to regret this." Bayonetta said.
She heard the voice again "My sweet, lovely child… She is the key to your future." the voice said.
"Uh, Bayonetta I think the angels just sent in backup!" Phantom said.
Bayonetta grabbed the kid and exited her body in Purgatorio "I'm not normally one to play saviour, but I suppose I can make an exception and kill all of you. Just this once, of course." Bayonetta said.
Phantom was helping Bayonetta protect her body and the kid but he couldn't exit his body.
Bayonetta defeated all the angels. She heard something which sounded like she was singing and a girl saying "Mummy!" and Phantom was knocked out. They were getting up "Oh my head." he said.
"Was I just singing?" Bayonetta asked.
"Mummy!" the girl said.
"Oh my gosh!" Phantom reacted in shock.
"Whoa! Slow down, little one. I am not your mother." Bayonetta said to the girl.
"But… Mummy!" the girl said.
"Will you quite calling me "Mummy"! Bayonetta said.
The girl started crying. The witch in black was annoyed by this; she grabbed the kid on the back of the nightgown and lifted her up. "If there's two things I hate in this world it's cockroaches and crying babies." Bayonetta said.
"Well, a crying baby cockroach would be truly terrible…" Bayonetta said.
She imagined if there was such a thing "Ew." Phantom said.
"So don't you dare cry." Bayonetta said.
"Yes, Mummy." the girl said.
"Fine." Bayonetta said. She let the girl go.
"You've got to be a strong little one to survive in a place like this." Bayonetta said.
"What's your name?" Phantom said.
"Cereza." Cereza revealed her name.
"Cereza?" Bayonetta asked.
Cereza smiled "You're not from Vigrid, are you little one? Where are you from?" Bayonetta asked.
"I'm from my house." Cereza said.
"I'll take a guess this isn't you home." Phantom said.
"What on earth are you doing here?" Bayonetta asked.
"My Daddy told me to come here." Cereza said.
"And whereabouts is this "Daddy" of yours?" Bayonetta asked.
"He was at work, but now I don't know where he's gone. I want to go home!" Cereza said. She grabs Bayonetta's leg. "I can't just drag you along wherever I go, little one. So you better not be getting attached to me." Bayonetta said.
"Yes, Mummy." Cereza said.
Bayonetta was still irritated "Come now little one. I'll help you out of here, but that's all." Bayonetta said.
She begins walking away but Cereza grabs her ribbons "And you have to promise there will be no crying." Bayonetta said.
"A single tear and you'll be crying alone. Got it?" Bayonetta asked.
"Okay, Mummy." Cereza said.
Bayonetta was still annoyed "Maybe your physical appearance matches her mother which could be why she's calling you Mummy." Phantom suggested.
They entered Paradiso, an alternate version of the temple ruins. Cereza began running off Cereza was caught by a Beloved Bayonetta, destroying the angel and saving Cereza. But unaware to Cereza the Bayonetta she was with was an angel as the halos appeared above her head.
Bayonetta and Phantom give chase and saved Cereza but not before Bayonetta and the angel Joy do a dance off.
They returned to their world and found Luka and Cereza together "Mummy!" Cereza said.
"Mummy!? You're a mom? You!?" Luka asked.
"Come now, Cheshire. Look at me. Do I look like I have any interest in children? Now making them… Well, that's another story." Bayonetta teased Luka.
"Whoa! Whoas! You're getting the wrong idea. I mean, it might be the right idea. But not right no right, right?" Luka asked.
"Oh you want to do it so badly with her man." Phantom laughed.
"Yeah… uh… Speaking of right, I'm glad I've been standing around waiting for you, because I knew we'd cross paths." Luka said.
"I bet." Phantom said.
"See, the only way to reach the upper crust and their gated island of champagne wishes and caviar dreams is over Prominence Bridge." Luka said.
"Oh… Yes… The island… Lovely place, isn't it?" Bayonetta asked.
Cereza was running towards Bayonetta when Luka grabs her, putting himself between the girls "Oh, now what!?" Bayonetta asked.
"Don't play games with me! You've worked your magic on this poor defenseless child, haven't you!?" Luka asked.
"No dude we just found her and she thinks Bayonetta is her Mummy." Phantom said.
"You're a sad, sick woman, you know that?" Luka didn't believe Phantom or Bayonetta.
"I was her age when you killed my father." Luka said.
"Wait… No… You couldn't… Oh my good, you did, didn't you? You killed her parents!" Luka said.
"Hmm… Come to think of it, she's better off with you. You two are more hassle than you're worth." Bayonetta said.
"You're going to let him babysit?" Phantom asked.
"What!?" Luka asked.
"Just keep a good eye on her, or you're gonna catch hell for it. No good deed goes unpunished, and you never know when a monster may sneak up on you." Bayonetta said.
"Mummy! Look out!" Cereza said.
Bayonetta and Phantom disappeared while fighting the angels yet Luka still could not see them he grappled away with Cereza "Mummy! No!" Cereza cried out.
"How can she see me!?" Bayonetta asked.
