Chapter 72: Angel Hunt
The Umbra leaves Four Nations and return to the space area.
"That was a waste of my time! Odium wasn't here either. Dammit! Where's this world with the angels?!" Nex asked.
"If what the old man said is true, then Odium has to be in Vigrid. It's the only known world with angels, along with those witches. I know because I was there." Claus said.
"Take me to where it is now!" Nex ordered.
"Right this way." Claus said.
The Umbra start finding the world of Vigrid and later on they find the world Vigrid.
"This is it." Claus said.
"Good. Now." Nex uses Death's Embrace to create his dark trail and creates the dark portal and the Umbra follow the dark trail and enter the dark portal.
(Vigrid: Outer City)
(Field Theme: Theme of Bayonetta-Mysterious Destiny)
The dark portal appears in the outer city of Vigrid and the Umbra fly out of the dark portal before it disappears and they have now have dark tints around them.
"So, this is Vigrid." Vergil said.
"Yes. Now, Odium should be around the city. Let's see if we can find him in it." Claus said.
"Let's go already! I've wasted enough damn time as it is!" Nex said.
The Umbra start moving through the outer city and they find a door and open it allowing them to go to a different area.
(Vigrid: Streets)
The Umbra are now in the city streets of Vigrid which is being rebuilt after the attack but then Nex sees something on a roof of a building and it's a shadow figure.
"Odium!" Nex yelled.
"You think it's him?" Claus asked.
"Scanning: Making sure if it's Odium." Omega said as he starts scanning the shadow figure. "Match for Odium does not fit. The figure is not Odium." Omega said.
"I'll be the judge of that!" Nex said as he goes for the shadow figure.
"Nex, hold on!" Claus said going after him and Vergil and Omega follow.
Nex confronts the shadow figure but the shadow figure runs away.
"Wanna play tag, huh? Fine. Here's how I play this game." Nex said taking out Death's Embrace and chases after the shadow figure.
Nex chases after the shadow figure who begins to fire bullets but Nex deflects the bullets and keeps chasing after the shadow figure who jumps to another rooftop but Nex goes for the same rooftop and keeps going after the shadow figure but the shadow figure keeps running and is now on the ground but Nex follows for the ground and chases after the shadow figure once more but the shadow figure then jumps a wall of a building but Nex uses his shadow power to go for the wall and is now on it and chases after the shadow figure again until later on Nex catches the shadow figure and grabs the figure with his shadow hand.
"Gotcha! You have nowhere to go now!" Nex said.
"Is that what you think, dearie?" The shadow figure asked and it's a female voice.
"What?" Nex asked and someone comes behind him and it's another shadow figure.
"Apprehending my comrade, are we? I suggest you release her unless you prefer to have your brains blown out." The second shadow figure said and it's another female voice.
"Don't think you can kill me so easily. How 'bout this; you tell me where I can find Odium, and I kill either of you." Nex said.
"You're feisty, aren't you? This is interesting." The first shadow figure said as she manages to free herself from Nex's shadow hand and goes for the second shadow figure.
"You think I'm playing a damn game here?! Tell me where I can find Odium!" Nex yelled.
"You're quite desperate. You're on a hunt too, hmm?" The first shadow figure asked as she reveals herself as Bayonetta. "You're quite an impatient one. Don't you know that it's rude to rush a woman?" Bayonetta asked.
"I don't give a damn what the hell you are!" Nex said.
"I think we can work out a little deal, wouldn't you agree, Bayonetta?" The second shadow figure asked and she reveals herself as Jeanne.
"Oh, yes. I do agree to that. What do you say we cut a deal?" Bayonetta suggested.
"I don't make deals with floozies!" Nex said pointing Death's Embrace at the two witches.
"Nex, just hear them out." Claus said as he, Vergil, and Omega arrive.
"Well, well, I didn't expect to see you again, boy. You were with that Maleficent friend of yours, yes?" Beyonetta asked.
"We're not 'friends' anymore. She's gone, along with my former master and everyone else." Claus said.
"Cut to the damn chase! What deal are you offering?" Nex asked.
"Impudence will get you nowhere, boy. But, here's what we have in mind; there are angels roaming about in this city, and we witches are expert hunters. We normally go around and hunt them down, and kill every last one." Jeanne said.
"And?" Nex asked.
"You help us hunt enough angels around here, and we may help you find this Odium. That seems like a fair deal, yes?" Bayonetta asked.
"Working with witches, huh? Sounds like you two are at home with the dark." Nex said.
"Well, it'd make sense, considering we're Umbra Witches. You're a dark being, as well, I presume." Bayonetta said.
"Yeah. I am. You may call me a demon!" Nex said.
"Well, 'demon', do we have a deal or not?" Jeanne asked.
"If I agree with your terms, you'd better fulfill your end of the damn deal!" Nex said.
"Of course. We're not without our word." Bayonetta said.
"Now, where are these angels?" Vergil asked.
"They should be appearing any moment now…" Jeanne said.
Just then a ray of light appears and angels start o descend down through the ray of light and confront the two Umbra Witches.
(Battle Theme: Let's Hit the Climax!)
"These are our targets, darling! Are you ready?" Bayonetta asked taking out her pistols.
"Let's get this over with!" Nex said taking out Death's Embrace.
"I liked it better when the Black Xetis possessed them, but this'll have to do." Claus said readying his arm cannon and his sword.
"Commencing extermination of angels." Omega said.
"This should prove interesting." Vergil said taking out Yamato.
(Bayonetta has joined you!)
(Information: Defeat the angels with the help of Bayonetta and Jeanne!)
The angels start to attack at the Umbra and the Umbra Witches with their weapons but Nex triple slashes with Death's Embrace followed by unleashing shadow knives and throws them while Vergil slashes with Yamato followed by a dimensional slash while Omega fires missiles all around while Claus shoots shots but the angels fly into the air and try to dive attack to strike with their weapons but Bayonetta uses her Bullet Arts to fire bullets from her pistols and then unleashes an infernal demon with her hair while Jeanne also uses her Bullet Arts and then unleashes her white version of her infernal demons but the angels continue to attack with their weapons but Nex coats Death's Embrace with darkness and delivers a brutal dark slash and defeats the angels.
"Scum. Every last one of them." Nex said.
"I see you have no problem killing the angels. You must be the polar opposite of those three darlings I worked with. And your weapon in your hand, it looks almost like those other three's." Bayonetta said.
"Other three's? Lemme guess, their names are Ky, Noel, and Sora, right?" Nex asked.
"Yes. How did you know that?" Bayonetta asked.
"Let's just say I'm acquainted with those idiots. Mostly…Ky…!" Nex said with hatred. "Also, what the hell do you mean by polar opposite? Were they here?" Nex asked.
"Yes. When working with me, they had a morality for fighting the angels." Bayonetta said.
"The only time when they had to was because of the Black Xetis possessing them." Claus said.
"Right, and you were partially responsible for that, I hear." Jeanne said.
"That doesn't matter. I'm just here because I wanted to. That's it." Claus said.
"Wrong on that, idiot. You work for me, nothing more. Now, take me to those other damn angels, so we can get this deal other with." Nex said.
"There you go, rushing again. Very well. Let's get going." Bayonetta said.
The Umbra and the Umbra Witches continue their way through Vigrid to find the other angels for them to kill and while going through the city of Vigrid they see nothing but ruined buildings that are being reconstructed.
"What happened around here?" Vergil asked.
"Let's just say Maleficent created chaos around here." Claus said.
"Oh, yes. She did a huge number on this place." Bayonetta said.
"How will we get through?" Nex asked.
"Scanning: Looking for alternate route." Omega said scanning around the area. "Alternate route discovered. Go for the right." Omega said.
"Gladly." Nex said.
Before the Umbra could move on more angels appear and surround the Umbra and the Umbra Witches.
"More playtime." Bayonetta said.
"Get out of my way!" Nex said unleashing Death's Embrace.
(Information: Defeat the angels!)
The angels attack the Umbra with their weapons but Bayonetta uses Witch Time to slow down the angels and then uses her Bullet Arts to strike while Jeanne unleashes her infernal demons to strike at the angels but the angels try to attack at the Umbra Witches but Claus unleashes lighting to strike down while Omega unleashes flames from his flamethrower but the angels fly into the air and dive attack at the group but Vergil unleashes spirit swords and sends them to strike at the angels while Nex double horizontal slashes with Death's Embrace followed by a vertical attack and then delivers a double aerial kick but the angels keep attacking with their weapons but Nex unleashes shadow drills and finishes off the angels.
"Annoying pieces of crap! Nothing pisses me off more than beings of light standing my way. These angels are reminding me of that damn Prince of Light, Ky!" Nex yelled.
"Why do you detest him so? He seems rather a cute darling, along with the other ones." Bayonetta said.
"That's none of your damn business. Let's just get on with hunting more of these angel bastards, before anymore of my brain cells get killed!" Nex said.
The Umbra and the Umbra Witches continue to go through the streets of Vigrid to find more angels and just then while exploring around the city something comes flying at the Umbra and it's a giant angel that's flying over the Umbra and then goes somewhere.
"What was that?" Vergil asked.
"A giant angel. Bayonetta, we must kill it." Jeanne said.
"Agreed. We should follow where it's going." Bayonetta said.
"This is getting annoying. Let's go already." Nex said.
The Umbra continue to go through Vigrid to find any more angels while also following the giant angel they just saw and later on they see more angels appearing and attack at the Umbra but Nex holds them in shadow tentacles and then slashes with Death's Embrace while Bayonetta unleashes infernal demon's fists to deliver punches and they kill the angels and continue on through Vigrid to find any more angels until later on they find something which is a different area.
(Vigrid: Air Force Base)
The Umbra arrive at the Vigrid air force base and they continue to find more angels for them to kill and while looking around more rays of light appear and reveal more angels.
"Right on time. Disappear." Nex said.
The angels charge at the Umbra to attack with their weapons but Nex casts Dark Thunder to strike at the angels and Claus also unleashes his lightning to strike but the angels swing their weapons to attack but Bayonetta uses her infernal torments to torture the angels while shooting from her pistols while Jeanne uses her Bullet Arts to attack but the angels keep attacking with their weapons but Vergil dash slashes with Yamato while leaving behind dimensional slashes while Omega delivers spinning punches but more angels keep attacking at the Umbra with their weapons but Nex traps them with his shadow chains and then delivers multi brutal slashes with Death's Embrace and defeats the angels.
"How much longer until we fully destroy these angels?" Vergil asked.
"No matter how many we kill, more will continue to appear." Jeanne said.
"Then this is just a waste of time. You're only finding more of these bastards. If they keep showing up, then there is nothing else for me to do." Nex said.
"But if you help us find more angels to kill, then you'll be able to find this Odium fellow." Bayonetta said.
"Whatever." Nex said.
The Umbra and the Umbra Witches move through the air base to hunt for more angels and they later go for a different area.
(Vigrid: Highway)
The Umbra arrive at the highway and many vehicles are driving through the highway and while the Umbra are going through the highway they see the same giant angel flying over the highway and shooting a giant light orb at the Umbra who dodge.
"Like you're being fair, you asshole! I'll take you outta the sky, and murder you!" Nex said.
"It still wants to play hard to get. Let us satisfy its needs." Bayonetta said.
"We can't just chase the angel on foot. We'll need something." Claus said.
"Found it." Nex said looking at a motorcycle and gets on it. "I'll show you who's faster while I beat the living crap outta you!" Nex said as he starts riding on the motorcycle to go after the giant angel.
(Information: Chase down the giant angel while killing the other angels in the highway!)
Nex begins to drive the motorcycle to chase after the giant angel which is firing more light orbs but Nex moves out of the way and keeps going after the giant angel but more angels appear and attack at Nex but Nex throws Death's Embrace at the angels and then casts Dark Blizzard and keeps driving after the giant angel that's still shooting light orbs which is destroying some parts of the highway but Nex keeps driving through the highway to try and catch the giant angel but more angels appear and attack at Nex who casts Dark Thunder to strike down at the angels and destroys them but the giant angel continues to fire light orbs at Nex who dodges but more parts of the highway are being destroyed but Nex continues to drive through the highway while killing more angels in his way until later on he reaches a dead end which is a destroyed part of the highway but Nex jumps off the motorcycle which goes down into the water while Nex reaches the other side of the highway.
"You'll have to do better than that!" Nex said.
The giant angel keeps flying through the sky and leaves the highway.
"It got away again." Claus said.
"Angel target going for the forest clearing." Omega said.
"How interesting." Bayonetta said.
Nex finds another motorcycle and gets on it.
"It won't get away from me this time!" Nex said.
Nex drives the other motorcycle to try and catch the giant angel but while going through the highway more angels appear and try to attack Nex who throws Death's Embrace at the angels and then casts Dark Fire but more angels appear and fire at Nex who dodges and unleashes shadow hands to grab and throw them away and Nex continues his way through the highway to try and find the giant angel but more angels appear and try to dive attack but Nex slashes at the angels with Death's Embrace and keeps driving through the highway but while Nex keeps going through the highway he sees more angels appear at a dead end and so Nex jumps off the motorcycle as it keeps going and it hits the angels destroying them while Nex lands on the ground.
"My time here is wasted! Time to use my favorite way of travel!" Nex said as he sinks into the shadows and shadow travels through the highway and goes for a different area.
(Vigrid: Forest Clearing)
In the forest clearing of Vigrid the shadow appears and Nex emerges from it along with Vergil, Omega, and Claus and arriving are two panther like figures and they reveal to be Bayonetta and Jeanne.
"That damn angel better be in here, otherwise, I'll burn down this entire damn forest!" Nex said.
"Well, it shouldn't be far from here." Claus said.
"Tincan, scan this area!" Nex ordered.
"Scanning: Giant angel target in this vicinity. Other side of the forest." Omega said.
"Well, it's our lucky day! Let's go for the other side of the forest, and find our flying friend." Bayonetta said.
"Let's get this over with." Nex said.
The Umbra move through the forest clearing to hunt down the giant angel and to get to the other side but while going through the forest more angels appear and confront and surround the Umbra.
"Get the hell outta my way, you pieces of crap!" Nex yelled taking out Death's Embrace.
"Like I said, I'd prefer it if they were on my side before." Claus said.
"Shall we dance, dearies?" Bayonetta asked.
The angels fly in the air and charge at the Umbra to attack but Claus multi slashes with his sword followed by shooting shots from his arm cannon while Vergil unleashes spirit swords and sends them to strike at the angels but the angels attack with their weapons and then dive attack to strike but Omega fires missiles to attack while Jeanne uses her infernal demons' feet to deliver an upper kick to send the angels flying but the angels dive attack with their weapons but Bayonetta uses her Bullet Arts followed by unleashing her infernal demon's fist to deliver punches while Nex triple brutal slashes with Death's Embrace followed by an uppercut sending the angels flying and then aerial slashes and delivers a diving slash and they defeat the angels destroying them.
"Learn your damn place! A being of light will never handle a demon from the dark!" Nex said.
"That is something I would not agree with, considering those three proved otherwise." Bayonetta said.
"If you ever mention those three damn annoying idiots again, I will kill you!" Nex threatened.
"I look forward to that." Bayonetta said.
"Let's hurry and find that giant angel destroy it." Vergil said.
The Umbra continue their way through the forest clearing to find the giant angel and to reach the other side again but more angels appear to try and attack but Nex slashes at the angels and kills them and the Umbra continue their way for the other side of the forest clearing and later on the Umbra find another way for the other side of the forest clearing and enter it taking them to the giant angel.
The Umbra see the giant angel in the sky and confront the angel.
"The two Umbra Witches. How fortunate to have a chance to eliminate the killers of Balder." The giant angel said.
"Balder?" Nex asked.
"He got what was coming to him. Someone had to end the long rivalry between the Witches and the Sages." Bayonetta said.
"Now, we've come to settle our score with the angels." Jeanne said.
"And who this being that is with you? Another dark being, perhaps?" The giant angel asked.
"Oh, I'm much more than a dark being. I'm a demon of darkness! I've eradicated your angels, and now I'll do the same to you!" Nex said.
"Such arrogance. I will now finish what Balder could not. I will avenge his death!" The giant angel said.
"You will join him in the afterlife, when we're finished with you." Vergil said.
"Let's get this over with, so you can give me your damn information." Nex said.
"Such impatience. Let us play with our new friend." Bayonetta said.
"Die!" The giant angel said.
(Boss Theme: Vim and Vigor)
(Information: Destroy the angel with the help of Bayonetta!)
The giant angel fires two giant light orbs at the Umbra who dodge out of the way and Nex casts Dark Thunder to try and bring down the giant angel but it is covered by a light barrier to protect itself from attacks and the giant angel calls down pillars of light to get the Umbra who dodge and Bayonetta unleashes her infernal demon's fists to try and pound at the light barrier while Nex coats Death's Embrace with dark aura and delivers aerial slashes at the light barrier but the giant angel continues to unleash orbs of light but Nex and Bayonetta continue to strike at the light barrier and after enough attacks the light barrier is destroyed allowing Jeanne to fire bullets from her four pistols while Claus fires three shots from his arm cannon but the giant angel calls down pillars of light but Omega locks on and fires homing missiles while Vergil unleashes spirit swords and sends them to strike but the giant angel swoops down and attempts to dive attack but Nex triple vertical slashes with Death's Embrace and then casts Dark Blizzard but the giant angel begins to charge a light energy attack.
"Oh, no you don't!" Nex said as he charges at the giant angel and casts Dark Fire at the giant angel causing damage.
"Insolent child!" The giant angel said as it fires a giant light orb.
The Umbra dodge the light orb and Jeanne unleashes her white infernal demon's fists and they deliver punches at the giant angel who retaliates with firing light beams at Jeanne who moves out of the way allowing Omega to fire lasers at the giant angel who calls down pillars of light at the Umbra who dodge and Vergil vanishes while leaving behind dimensional slashes in his wake at the giant angel while Claus calls down lightning but the giant angel unleashes another light barrier for protection and then shoots three orbs of light but the Umbra dodge the light orbs and Bayonetta uses her Bullet Arts to fire at the light barrier to make the light barrier disappear while Nex casts Dark Thunder to strike but the giant angel fires two beams of light at the Umbra but Nex and Bayonetta continue to strike at the barrier until later on the barrier is gone again and Bayonetta multi punches followed by an infernal demon punch while Nex brutal slashes with Death's Embrace followed by delivering an uppercut and unleashing shadow knives and sends them to strike at the giant angel.
The giant angel dives down to try and attack the Umbra but Claus multi slashes with his sword to strike while Jeanne unleashes a white raven and sends it to attack the giant angel who uses light to warp away and then reappears and shoots four orbs of light to strike at the Umbra but Omega fires flames from his flamethrower at the giant angel who flies into the air and fires beams of light at the Umbra but Vergil disappears and then reappears over the giant angel and delivers a slamming slash with Yamato sending the giant angel down to the ground allowing Bayonetta to use her Bullet Arts to strike but the giant angel gets back up and flies into the sky and calls down pillars of light to strike at the Umbra who dodge out of the way and Nex tries to attack with Death's Embrace but the giant angel unleashes its light barrier again but Nex coats Death's Embrace with dark aura and starts slashing at the light barrier and after enough attacks the light barrier is destroyed and Nex unleashes shadow fists and delivers punches to strike at the giant angel sending it back.
"Your existence has plagued this world for too long! This ends now!" he giant angel said as it charges its light orb again and sends it at the Umbra.
The Umbra dodge the giant light orb and Vergil triple slashes with Yamato followed by a stab attack but the giant angel fires beams of light at the Umbra but Claus calls down lightning to strike at the giant angel while Omega delivers spinning attacks but the giant angel flies into the air and shoots four orbs of light at the Umbra but Jeanne unleashes her infernal demon's feet and delivers kicks to strike but the giant angel dive attacks in an attempt to attack but Bayonetta uses her Witch Time to slow down the giant angel and then uses her Bullet Arts to strike followed by delivering multi kicks but the giant angel calls down pillars of light to strike down at the Umbra who dodge and Nex casts Dark Thunder to bring down the giant angel and then delivers an upper slash with Death's Embrace but the giant angel retaliates with charging its giant orb of light and sends it down to strike at the Umbra who prepare themselves and Nex unleashes a giant shadow blade and delivers a slash at the giant angel knocking it back and Jeanne and Bayonetta use their Bullet Arts to strike while Claus shoots shots from his arm cannon while Omega fires missiles while Vergil slashes with Yamato while Nex brutal horizontal slashes with Death's Embrace followed by unleashing shadow fists and the Umbra finish off the giant angel.
"Impossible! I will not fall to the likes of dark beings!" The giant angel said.
"Looks like you will! Time to finish you off!" Nex said as he transforms into his shadow demonic form and flies into the air and delivers attacks with his claws and then unleashes shadow chains and traps the giant angel.
"How impressive. Let me in on the fun!" Bayonetta said as she uses her infernal demon attack and creates a giant infernal demon raven and it charges at the giant angel and strikes at it and begins pecking at the giant angel.
Demon Nex and Bayonetta's infernal demon strike at the giant angel and later on they both work together to destroy the giant angel and after the defeat of the giant angel Nex reverts back to his normal form.
"Finally, over. Now, fulfill your end of the deal, or you'll be next!" Nex said.
"Hmph. Cheeky! Very well. A deal's a deal. This Odium you referred to may not be around, but we have found a someone dressed in red with black stars, talking about going to some kingdom with a hero and a princess." Jeanne said.
"Kingdom with a hero and a princess, huh? I know where to go next." Claus said.
"Fine. Let's go. Hope I never see you floozies again." Nex said.
"Your feistiness never ceases to amuse me, boy. Farewell, I suppose." Bayonetta said.
The Umbra leave the forest clearing and are deeper in the forest and Nex uses Death's Embrace to create another dark portal and the Umbra go for the dark portal and leave Vigrid.
There you go! New chapter done! I hope you enjoyed this! Sorry for the delay. Life has been a wreck AGAIN, but going through, so don't worry. Next time, the Umbra go for the next world, where they will encounter the reborn King of Evil, who seeks to obtain the Triforce and take over the kingdom. I'll see you all in the next chapter! Take care, and goodbye for now! Don't forget to favorite, follow, and review! Bye!
