Chapter 38: Corrupted Angels
(Vigrid: Proving Ground Ruins)
Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, Lucas, and Bayonetta arrive at a proving ground and the weather is still raining but they go through the proving ground ruins while fighting off Black Xetis that are now possessing angels so the group have to fight and they later defeat the possessed angels and Ky purifies them but Bayonetta finishes them off much to the group's displeasure but they continue to move on and they find three tiles on the ground and so Ky, Sora, and Bayonetta press them at the same time opening a door and the group keep going and are back outside and while looking around they climb their way up to the other side and they reach into a stone hall and go through but then the hall is now full of rising spears and a door closes but then Ky finds a lever and pulls it making the spears stop rising and then they find more tiles on the ground and so Noel, Bayonetta, and Sora press them making the door open allowing the group to keep going again but they deal with more possessed angel Black Xetis but the group fight them off and the angels are free but then killed by Bayonetta and then the group make their way through a bridge but just then it gets destroyed by poisonous water but the group manage to get to the other side without falling and open a giant door and they find three possessed angel Black Xetis.
"What are you boys doing in here?" Bayonetta asked.
"The real question is what are you Black Xetis think you're up to?" Ky asked.
"Are you hiding something from us?" Bayonetta asked.
The possessed angel Black Xetis attack the group but Ky, Noel, and Sora slash with their Keyblades while Donald casts Fire while Goofy bashes with his shield while Elena shoots magic bolts while Ken shoots magic music notes while Max uses Cyclone while Tails shoots shots from his blaster while Blaze flame kicks while Shadow throws Chaos Spears while Storm unleashes electricity while Grace uses Tackle while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucky uses Egg Throw while T.J. slashes with his knife while Zuko unleashes jets of flames while Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley throws bombs while Murray triple punches while Lucas uses PK Love while Bayonetta shoots from her pistols and then Ky and Noel purify the angels and destroy the Black Xetis but Bayonetta kills the angels.
"Seriously, stop killing the angels!" Donald said.
"Can't help it, dear." Bayonetta said.
The group then see someone crying and it's the same little girl they saw earlier.
"It's that girl again." Noel said.
"Something tells me I'm going to regret this." Bayonetta said.
"What're you doing?" Sora asked and Bayonetta jumps in and grabs the girl.
"I don't normally play the savior, but I'll make an exception." Bayonetta said.
"That's a first, and probably the last." Ky said.
Just then more possessed angel Black Xetis appear and attack the group but they fight back against them and later the angels are free but then killed.
"That's close." Tails said.
"Yeah." Ky said.
"Mummy!" The girl said.
"'Mommy'?" T.J. asked.
"Did she just call you 'Mommy'?" Sly asked.
"So, she's your daughter?" Zuko asked.
"Slow down there! I am not her mother." Bayonetta said.
"But…Mummy." The girl said.
"Will you quit calling me 'Mummy'?!" Bayonetta asked making the girl cry.
"Nice going." Zatch said.
"Ugh! If there's two things I hate in this world, it's cockroaches and crybabies." Bayonetta said.
"So, what if there was a crying baby cockroach?" Max asked.
"That would be terrible! Now, don't you dare cry." Bayonetta said.
"Yes, Mummy." The girl said.
"Well, you're a mother figure now, Bayonetta. Deal with it." Elena said.
"Fine…" Bayonetta said.
"Listen, don't worry. You just gotta be strong. You can't let anyone try to make your heart wounded, because that's what darkness does. It tries to worm its way into a wounded heart." Ky said.
"What's your name?" Noel asked.
"Cereza." The girl named Cereza introduced.
"Cereza? You're not from Vigrid, are you?" Bayonetta asked.
"Where are you from?" Goofy asked.
"I'm from my house." Cereza answered.
"I don't think this is your home. What are you doing out here anyway?" Sora asked.
"My Daddy told me to come here." Cereza answered.
"Your…Daddy? Well, where is he now?" Elena asked.
"He was at work, but now I don't know where he's gone." Cereza answered. "Can you take me home?" Cereza asked.
"I can't just drag you along wherever I go. Don't get attached to me." Bayonetta said.
"Yes, Mummy." Cereza said making Bayonetta sigh in annoyance.
"Come on, Cereza. We'll help you get outta here." Ky said.
"Just make sure to stay with us, and don't wander off on your own, okay?" Tails said.
"Yes." Cereza said.
"But that's all we're doing. There better not be ANY crying. One tear, and you'll be crying alone. Got it?" Bayonetta asked.
"Okay, Mummy." Cereza said making Bayonetta sigh in annoyance again.
"This is gonna be hell of fun!" Ken said.
"Let's go, 'Mummy'." Ky said.
"Oh, shut up!" Bayonetta said.
"There has to be way out of here. We'd better make sure Cereza doesn't get hurt." Lucas said.
The group and Cereza begin to make their way out of the room and are back outside and go to a new area.
(Vigrid: Ruins)
The group are back outside and and are now in what looks like ruins and the weather has intense raining and there is a tornado from afar and so the group start escorting Cereza through outside but they see Angel Star Heartless appearing but the group defeat the Angel Star Heartless and move on into the ruins and keep going while fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless while protecting Cereza and they later reach the end and keep going and they later find another gate.
"Hey, it's another one of those gate thingies." Murray said.
"Where will we end up this time?" Shadow asked.
"Let's find out." Kiyo said.
The group jump into the gate and go for a different area.
(Vigrid: Paradiso-Glimpse of a Temple)
The group are now in a bright field and they look around and Cereza starts running.
"Hey! Hold on!" Ky said stopping Cereza.
"No wonder how she got lost." Bayonetta said.
Just then possessed angel Black Xetis appear making Cereza scared.
"I know how it feels. It's scary when seeing them for the first time." Noel said taking out Radiant Salvation.
"Go somewhere safe, and don't come out until it's over." Blaze said.
"Okay." Cereza said as she runs to hide.
"Now, where were we?" Bayonetta asked.
The possessed angel Black Xetis attack the group but Ky, Noel, and Sora slash with their Keyblades while Bayonetta shoots with her four pistols while Donald casts Thunder while Goofy uses Goofy Bash while Elena shoots magic beams while Ken unleashes magic music waves while Max uses Shield Charge while Tails throws ring bombs while Blaze uses Fire Drill while Shadow uses Chaos Rift while Storm uses Volt Tackle while Grace uses Bite while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Lucky uses Ground Pound while T.J. uses Knife Throw while Zuko slashes with his broadswords while Sly uses Cane Spin while Bentley shoots electric darts while Murray uses Flame Punch while Lucas uses PK Flash and the group defeat the angel possessed Black Xetis and Ky and Noel both purify the angels and destroy the Black Xetis while Bayonetta kills the angels.
Just then Angel Star Heartless appear and surround Cereza.
"Dammit!" Ken said.
"No!" Lucas said.
"Get away from her!" Donald yelled.
Ky runs and slashes at the Angel Star Heartless destroying them.
"You okay?" Ky asked.
"Yes." Cereza said.
"Good. We were so worried." Elena said.
"Let me have her. That way, she'd be more safer." Bayonetta said.
"Huh? Since when do you care about her safety?" Sora asked.
"It's better this way." Bayonetta said picking up Cereza.
"Okay. Let's just…" Ky was off.
"Pikachu!" Storm said.
"Eevee!" Grace said.
"What?" Tails asked.
The group turn to that there is another Bayonetta.
"What? Two Bayonettas?" T.J. asked.
"Which is which?" Bentley asked.
"That one carrying the girl is the fake!" Bayonetta said.
"What?" Noel asked and they see 'Bayonetta' running off with Cereza.
"Hey! Get back here!" Sora said.
The group chase after 'Bayonetta' through the field and they later keep up and Ky throws Dawn of Hope at 'Bayonetta'.
"Hold it!" Shadow yelled.
"Okay, which is Bayonetta?" Max asked.
"I'll ask the questions. If you see an angel, what do you do?" Ky asked.
"Simple, I kill them." Bayonetta answered.
"I try to make them into minions, and then kill them if they are incompetent." 'Bayonetta' answered.
"Okay. Make a nice pose." Ky said and the two Bayonettas make their poses.
"This is getting nowhere." Zuko said.
"Okay, screw this!" Ky said as he points Dawn of Hope and fires a light beam at 'Bayonetta' making her scream and it later reveals to be Maleficent.
"Maleficent!" Sora said.
"You serious?! You were trying to steal Cereza?" Kiyo asked.
"That girl seemed very special to me, and I wish to take her for myself." Maleficent said.
"I'll do admit, you did a smashing job of being me, but there is no substitute for the original." Bayonetta said.
"Hmph! That girl will be mine! Nothing will stop me!" Maleficent said as she disappears in green and black flames.
"Great. Now, Maleficent is after her. We'd better protect until this is over." Bentley said.
"Yeah." Ky said.
The group find another gate and enter it and go for the next area.
(Vigrid: Air Force Base)
The group are back to Vigrid and are back in the outside weather and are in an air force base and they go for the tornado they saw earlier but then they find Luka again and Cereza is with him.
"Oh, joy. This idiot." Elena said.
"Mummy!" Cereza said.
"Mummy?! You're a mom?! You?!" Luka asked.
"Get lost, idiot. We don't have time for your crap! Piss off!" Ken yelled.
"And does it look like I have any interest in children?" Bayonetta asked.
"Now, making them, that's another thing." Sly said.
"Whoa! You're getting the wrong idea. Well, it might be the right idea. Now, speaking of right, I'm glad I've been standing here waiting for you. I knew we crossed paths." Luka said.
"You're the last person we wanna see right now. Cut to the chase, before I make sure you join your dead father!" Shadow said.
"Hey, hey! See, the only way to reach the upper crust and their gated island of champagne wishes and caviar dreams is over at Prominence Bridge." Luka said.
"Oh, yes. The island. Lovely." Bayonetta said.
"Let Cereza go." Noel said.
"Don't play games! That witch worked her magic not only on you, but now on this poor defenseless child. You're a sad and sick woman. When I was her age, you killed my father! Wait a minute…oh, god! You killed her parents too!" Luka said.
"Now that's just…" Elena was cut off.
"Come to think of it, she's better off with you. You two are more hassles than you're worth." Bayonetta said.
"What'd you say?!" Luka demanded.
"You'd better keep a good eye on her." Bayonetta said.
"I hate leaving her with you, but we still have things to do, and she's in danger. If you do ANYTHING to her, you're going straight to hell!" Elena threatened.
Just then the bridge starts to crumble and Luka starts to leave with Cereza.
"Mummy!" Cereza said.
"Oh, great…" Ky said and the group are now in the tornado.
The group confront the tornado and they find Maleficent again.
"You have arrived at last." Maleficent said.
"Maleficent, stop having the Black Xetis possess the angels! You're screwing everything up!" Ky said.
"You fools do not realize that all light must come to an end. This begins with you." Maleficent said.
Just then something appears from the tornado and it's a giant possessed angel Black Xeti that has crimson eyes, the Black Xeti symbol, and has a giant black tornado surrounding it.
"Another angel possessed." Noel said.
"That means we gotta fight it and save it at the end." Tails said.
"Let's go." Ky said and the giant possessed angel Black Xeti attacks the group and traps them in a giant black tornado.
(Boss Theme: Dance to the Death)
The possessed angel Black Xeti known as Wicked Storm unleashes three giant whirlwinds at the group who dodge out of the way and Sora aerial slashes with Kingdom Key and then delivers a triple aerial somersault slash while Ky aerial slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers an upper slash and delivers a wide slash but Wicked Storm unleashes multiple lightning bolts down at the group but Noel enters her Wisdom form and casts her strong version of Water and pushes Wicked Storm back but Wicked Storm unleashes more giant whirlwinds but Elena casts Aero to get rid of the whirlwinds and then casts Thunder to strike while Donald casts Blizzard but Wicked Storm unleashes more multiple lightning down at the group but Lucas uses PK Freeze while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster but Wicked Storm unleashes typhoons from under the group who avoid the typhoon and Max uses Shield Boomerang while T.J. upper slashes with his knife but Wicked Storm tries to trap the group in a small whirlwind but Zuko unleashes a barrage of fireballs while Murray uses Uppercut but Wicked Storm unleashes more lightning from the sky but Goofy uses Goofy Bash while Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga but Wicked Storm unleashes more whirlwinds but Ken unleashes two magic music blades while Lucky uses Ground Pound but Wicked Storm unleashes more typhoon from under the group but Storm uses Quick Attack and then uses Iron Tail while Grace uses Growl but Wicked Storm attempts to trap the group in small wind again but Shadow throws Chaos Lances while Blaze uses Fire Tornado but Wicked Storm unleashes four whirlwinds but Bentley uses his RC Chopper to shoot missiles while Sly uses Cane Jump but Wicked Storm unleashes two lightning bolts down but Bayonetta unleashes her Infernal Demon's foot and delivers a kick but Wicked Storm tries to blow the group away with intense wind.

(Reaction Command: Tempest Dive)
Wicked Storm tries to unleash a typhoon at Ky but he dodges and dives down and delivers a diving strike with Dawn of Hope causing great damage but Wicked Storm unleashes hail down at the group.
The group dodge the hail and Shadow home attacks and delivers Chaos multi punches while Sly uses Dive Attack but Wicked Storm covers itself with lightning and unleashes a giant sphere of lightning but Storm strikes back with Volt Tackle while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado but Wicked Storm unleashes giant tornadoes from different sides at the group but Bayonetta uses Witch Time to slow down the tornadoes allowing Ken to unleash magic music pillars from the ground to strike but Wicked Storm unleashes more hail down at the group but Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Lucas uses PK Fire but Wicked Storm tries to blow the group away again but Sora fights against the strong wind and reaches Wicked Storm who unleashes a typhoon but Sora delivers a diving strike with Kingdom Key giving great damage but Wicked Storm retaliates with trapping the group in small wind but Donald casts Aero to get rid of the wind while Zuko slashes with flame daggers but Wicked Storm unleashes typhoon from under the group to strike but Max uses Shield Charge while Grace uses Tackle but Wicked Storm unleashes multi lightning at the group but Lucky uses Egg Roll while Tails delivers a flying kick but Wicked Storm covers itself with lightning and unleashes a giant sphere of lightning but Murray uses Tornado Punch while T.J. delivers a bouncing slash with his knife but Wicked Storm unleashes hail down at the group but Elena casts Earth to strike while Blaze shoots fireballs while Bentley shoots darts but Wicked Storm unleashes giant tornadoes from different sides at the group but Noel casts Stop and then delivers triple slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by a vertical slash while Ky delivers two horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a diagonal slash.

"Another angel freed." Ky said but Bayonetta shoots and kills the freed angel.
"And another one dies…" Shadow said.
The black tornado then disappears and the intense storm ends and the sky clears into a sunny day.
"Such a shame. I had no time for pillow talk." Bayonetta said.
"Now, what do we do?" Tails said.
"Who knows. Maleficent, Black Xetis possessing angels, nothing can be done, unless we do something." Ky said.
Unknowing to them the white haired woman is watching them and smirks.
(Vigrid: Highway)
The group are walking down a highway while passing many vehicles.
"That moron Luka said something about an island and it's at Prominence Bridge." Elena said.
"That bridge in these heels? I don't suppose I should call a cab to get me to the island." Bayonetta said.
"Look alive, people! We have an unidentified vehicle approaching! Close the gate!" A voice said and it's a soldier.
Just then the group see a vehicle approaching and it's driven by Luka and Cereza is with him.
"Hey, speaking of the idiot." T.J. said.
"Should we follow?" Donald asked and Bayonetta starts running after the vehicle and the group follow her.
The group manage to reach the gate before it can close and Bayonetta shoots at the closed gate allowing Luka's vehicle to get through.
"Whoohoo! Did you see that?! I told you there was nothing to worry about!" Luka said.
"Mummy saved us!" Cereza said.
"What?!" Luka asked.
"Hey, idiot!" Shadow said.
"Crap!" Luka said.
"Your driving seems to be on par with your journalism." Bayonetta said.
"Mummy!" Cereza said.
"I figured I'd beat you to the island, but the guards had another idea." Luka said.
"Do you really think you've got me figured out?" Bayonetta asked.
"Hey, us journalists have to have some detective skills. You're after a gem stone and that stone has to be in the Ithavoll Group Building. I'm going there too." Luka said.
"How odd. You seem to know where I'm going before I do, yet you can't seem to drive a car in a straight line." Bayonetta said.
"There's no way in hell we're walkin' to some island!" Ken said.
"That's because you're lazy." Donald said.
"Shut up!" Ken yelled.
"Prolonged walking in this salty air tends to mess up my hair." Bayonetta said.
"I tend to use some product when I go to the beach." Luka said.
Just then there is some shooting coming at Luka's vehicle.
"Damn… More Black Xetis!" Ky said.
"And there's still controlling the angels." Blaze said.
"Cereza! Get down!" Noel said.
"You handle the driving, and we'll take care of our pest problem." Bayonetta said.
"Wonderful…" Luka said.
"Like we have joy in working with you." Elena said.
"I don't think they want us going to that island." Bentley said.
"Who cares what they want?! Let's just get this over with." Max said.
The angel possessed Black Xetis attack the group but Ky, Noel, and Sora slash with their Keyblades while Bayonetta uses her Bullet Arts while Donald casts Gravity while Goofy uses Goofy Turbo while Elena conjures magic blades and sends them to strike while Ken unleashes magic music lines and sends out music notes while Max uses Cyclone while Tails throws ring bombs while Blaze flame kicks while Shadow throws Chaos Arrows while Storm unleashes electricity while Grace tail whips while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucky uses Headbutt while T.J. slashes with his knife while Zuko unleashes jets of flames while Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley throws bombs while Murray uses Turbo Charge while Lucas uses PK Love and the group defeat the angel possessed Black Xetis.
Just then the group see many Car Heartless driving through the highway.
"Now what?" Sora asked.
"Time to go vroom!" Bayonetta said as she gets on a bike.
"C'mon!" Ky said.
Ky, Noel, and Sora get on different bikes and they start going after the Car Heartless and they drive through the highway and begin attacking the Car Heartless with their Keyblades destroying them while also dodging incoming vehicles in their way and they keep destroying the Car Heartless but then the roads start to collapse but they manage to keep going and they later keep up with Luka's vehicle and they get back on the vehicle but more of the road explodes.
"Holy crap! For God's sake! This is overdoing it!" Luka said.
"Turn right, idiot! Get off the damn road!" Elena yelled.
Luka drives to the right but more possessed angel Black Xetis appear.
"I've had enough of this!" Ky said as he shoots many light beams from Dawn of Hope and purifies the angels from Black Xetis.
"Now, stop coming after us!" Sly said.
Just then more possessed angel Black Xetis come and more explosions occur and get the group and they fall off the road but they fall into what looks like a portal.
(Vigrid: Paradiso-Graveyard of Remembrance)
The group fall through the air of flying feathers and they land on a clock and look around and see many floating places.
"This is…" Bayonetta stops talking.
"Just like before… Let's have a look around, and see where we really are." Ky said and everyone nods.
The group start moving through the floating places and then they go for a different floating place but then angels appear but Bayonetta kills them and then they see light ethereal trails and so the group get on and walk on the light ethereal trails and they later get on a sphere and another light trail appears and the group walk along it and later reach the top and they find a snake like trail but just then something appears and rolls at the group making them run along the snake like trail until they reach the end and arrive on a ground that has gears on it and so Ky turns a staff to make the gears turn causing the place to turn around until it reaches another light ethereal trail and the group walk along it again and they later arrive at what looks like a town but as they explore giant spheres come falling down at the group who dodge and continue to search around but then more angels appear but Bayonetta kills them and they continue through the town and find rings of light and go through them and are now on a different floating ground and while they explore possessed angel Black Xetis appear and try to attack the group but Ky traps them in light chains and purifies them freeing them from Black Xetis and the Black Xetis are defeated while the angels are killed and the group see what looks like a ring and the group go through the ring sending them through the air and they later on different ground and they climb up to find a different place and they later find more light rings and the group cross them leading them to a road and they cross the road and they later find what looks like a temple and so the group enter the temple.
(Vigri: Paradiso-Sea of Stars)
The group explore around the temple.
"Vigrid…I've been there before." Bayonetta said.
"Have you?" Murray asked.
"Then where's here?" T.J. asked.
Bayonetta looks around and then finds a carving of two people and sees two names on the bottom.
"Jeanne? Cereza?" Baynetta asked reading the names.
"That's the name of the girl." Tails said.
"But, who's Jeanne?" Noel asked.
Just then a shaking occurs and something comes to try and grab Bayonetta but the group fend off who is attacking and there are tentacles.
"Tentacles. Why does it have to be tentacles?" Bayonetta asked.
"This indicates we're not alone." Bentley said.
"I hope nothin'll come and get us." Goofy said.
"Those tentacles came from that hole in the ground." Sora said.
"In that case…" Ky jumps into the hole.
"Hey! Are you crazy?!" Ken asked.
"This could be our only option. Let's go." Elena said.
The group jump into the hole and are back in town that looks like Vigrid and they find a ground with gears and so Ky turns the staff and makes the gears turn making the town turn until it connects to something else and they get on a different ground and the group cross a road and they find another floating ground that looks like a temple and is spinning up and down and so the group go into the temple and find another floating ground and get on it and cross a road by many tentacles try to attack but the group dodge and reach the end of the road and keep going.
Meanwhile in a field Cereza and Luka are walking down.
"What happened to Mummy?" Cereza asked.
"Well, she just went to look for something, that's all." Luka said. "I can't believe that witch, first she puts those guys with her under a spell and now this poor helpless girl. If she did anything to this poor girl's parents, I swear…" Luka said and Cereza starts crying.
"Mummy." Cereza said crying.
"No, no. Don't cry. I'm sure we'll find her in no time." Luka said. "Here, I got candy." Luka takes out a lollipop and Cereza starts eating it.
"What's this? This is yummy." Cereza said.
"I guess strawberry." Luka said.
"Kitty, I got some yummy." Cereza said.
"That cat is your friend?" Luka asked.
"Yes. His name is Cheshire." Cereza said.
"Cheshire… That's a stupid name." Luka said to himself. "Well, so much for the highway. I'll have to try something else. All I have to do is figure out what to do about you." Luka said. "Is she really your mom?" Luka asked.
"Uh-huh. My Mummy is strong and she protects me from the scary monsters." Cereza said.
"Monsters? I don't think you know who the real monster is." Luka said.
Just then Luka hears something and looks around.
Meanwhile the group continue through the sea of stars and go through a hallway of rising spears and they keep going through the road and find a different ground but then possessed angel Black Xetis appear and attack the group but they fight back and Ky traps them in light chains and purifies the possessed angels freeing them from the Black Xetis and they later find what looks like a gate and so the group get to the gate.
"Help! Mummy! Help!" A voice cried.
"What was that?" Max asked.
"That sounded like Cereza!" Lucas said.
"Oh, dammit! Sounds like trouble!" Ky said.
"Just what we need. So much for Cheshire." Bayonetta said.
"I should have known better than to trust that idiot!" Elena said.
"Let's go see what's going on. It's probably the Black Xetis and the Heartless again." Kiyo said.
"Maybe. C'mon!" Ky said and the group run to the gate and go through it.
There you go! New chapter done! I hope you enjoyed this! Another part of Bayonetta in the bag, and who knows when this'll end. Next time, Ky, Noel, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, Lucas, and Bayonetta are still fighting angel possessed Black Xetis while also trying to protect Cereza from any danger.
