Bayonetta had dealt with many angels in the past, but never once had she encountered a massive horde like this. She was completely swarmed by them, unable to find even a glimpse of her surroundings from their white and gold bodies. She fought like a champion, but even she had her limits. As the horde lessened, so did her strength. Finally, she had narrowed it down to 10. Unfortunately, those 10 were the massive, centaur-like angels that could give her a mild challenge at full strength, but as things stood now, she could barely stand. "You angels just don't get it. I've told you before and while I hate repeating myself, I'll tell you again: Don't fuck with a witch!" She said, pulling out her scythe, slashing through 3 of them, using her whips to rip apart another 5, blasting one more with Lt. Kilgore and waiting for the last one as it charged at her. She pulled out Shuraba and lunged forward at the same time as the angel. Both of them shot their weapons forward and impaled each other in the chest. A light enveloped the angel and it dispersed into nothing while Bayonetta staggered back and fell onto her back with the angel's lance still sticking through her torso. "Well... I suppose its better than being dragged down into Inferno..." She said as her life left her body.

"Inferno shall not have you, Bayonetta. You are still needed elsewhere. Now you can have something you never did as a child. A family..." A voice said as light enveloped the fallen witch, absorbing her and dispersing, similar to, but far more beautifully than when the angels are killed.


In the world of Remnant, two beautiful young girls had just been born. The first closely resembled her father, with a few strands of blonde hair and lilac eyes just like his, while the second one showed signs similar to her mother, strands of black hair and red eyes. Their father leaned in and looked at them proudly, before looking at his wife holding them. "You did it, Raven. They're beautiful. Just like you." Taiyang said, before looking back at his new daughters. "What shall we call them?" He asked.

"Why don't you pick the names, dear?" She offered. (They'll be all yours soon enough, anyway.) She thought. (That's what I picture she did when Yang was born. Bitch.)

"Well," He started, looking at his first daughter and putting a hand on the side of her head, running his thumb through her few locks of hair. "I like Yang for her." He said, before looking to the other one. "And you..." He said, thinking for a moment, but was lost. "I can't think of anything. Raven, are you sure you don't want to try?" He asked.

She looked down at her daughter closely resembling herself and smiled, a beautiful name popping into her head. "What about... Cereza?" She asked.

Taiyang was intrigued by this. He had never heard a name like that before, but looking down at the beautiful little girl in her mother's arms, he smiled, thinking it fit. "Yeah. I like that... Cereza Xiao Long." He said lovingly.


And so a year would pass. Their mother had left shortly after they were born, without giving any explanation or even saying goodbye to her daughters. Soon enough, their father had gotten together with the other girl from his own team, Summer. The girls quickly took a liking to her and she did to them, soon enough having a child of her own, giving the girls a new sister. But sadly, soon enough, she would disappear as well, never returning home from a mission. The two girls were sad, but their father completely broke down. The two girls would spend most of their time trying to take care of their sister and prevent their father from falling apart. They cared deeply for their father and little sister. They cared about each other, too, but they were often at odds. Yang would often try to uncover clues about their birth mother, hoping to one day find her, while Cereza wanted nothing to do with her. She despised the thought of her birth mother who had left them. As far as she was concerned, Summer was their mother and she was gone. But despite this, the girls had made a promise to both each other and Ruby that if they ever needed each other, they'd be there. And this was put to the ultimate test one night. Yang came to Cereza with an picture of an old house and an idea. "This might be it, sis! We might be able to find Mom! And even if we don't find her, maybe there's a clue or something there that could lead us to her!"She said excitedly.

Cereza growled at her older twin's idea. "It's a stupid idea, Yang! You want us to go to some old house that might not be there anymore, in a forest you know has Grimm in it to find a woman who abandoned us!" She snapped back.

"Well, I'm going! And I'm taking Ruby! So if you want to keep your promise to be there when we need you, you'll come, too. Otherwise, what kind of sister are you?" Yang argued, before walking away.

So, their dad went on a mission in the afternoon, at which point Yang got ready, put a sleeping Ruby into their wagon and took off. Cereza watched from around the corner, before deciding that she had to go with them. "Yang! Wait!" She said, running after her sisters.

Yang turned back with a slight glare. "What? Are you trying to stop me?" She asked.

"No. Like you said, we made a promise." Cereza assured.

Yang smiled at this. "Okay, then! Let's go!" She said.

So the 3 sisters wandered far after they'd lost track of time, not knowing how long they'd been out and even then, they kept moving. Eventually, as tired as they were from all the wondering, they had found the old house. "There it is! This must be it!" Yang said through tired pants.

"There'd better be something here." Cereza said, in only a little better shape, as she was slightly more active than Yang from playing with Ruby more often.

Suddenly, 3 sets of vicious red eyes appeared from the dark doorway, 3 beowulves lunging out from the doorway. Suddenly, images flashed in Cereza's mind: of her looking much older fighting some weird Grimm that were white and gold instead of their usual black and red, fighting alongside and protecting a girl who looked like the exact opposite of her and a young bow dressed in orange with white hair. The whole time, she had been using some strange ability, which must have been her semblance, to slow down time and avoid attacks. "Better hope that still works!" She said nervously, closing her eyes as a Grimm's claw was inches from her face. Suddenly, everything stopped. The claw didn't connect, the Grimm were hanging in the air and Yang was completely still and unmoving. Looking to the right, she also saw their Uncle Qrow lunging at the Grimm with his scythe at the read. "Uncle Qrow..." She said in surprise, before shaking her head. Thinking quickly, she grabbed Yang and the wagon handle and ran a few feet away. She then picked up Ruby, put her in Yang's arms, grabbed the wagon and ran back, swinging it down on the front beowulf. Time then restarted, the wagon slammed down onto the Beowulf's head and knocked it to the ground (if Zwei can headbutt a beowulf and send it flying, I'm assuming a wagon around the same weight, probably heavier, could do that) and Qrow slashed the 3 of them, ensuring the safety of his neices.

However, even he was shocked at what happened. One minute, the Grimm in front was almost ready to take down Cereza, the next, she flattened it with a wagon while Ruby and Yang were way back out of harm's way. "Cereza... What just...?" He asked, unsure of how to react.

"Would you believe pure luck?" She said, unsure of what to make of her abilities herself (honestly, did anyone else want to see her reaction to using her powers the very first time?)


"I can't explain it, Tai. One second, the girls were right in front of the Beowulves, the next Cereza's slamming the wagon down on one of them and Ruby and Yang are 10 feet away. Maybe Cereza found her semblance, but what kind could let her do that?" Qrow asked.

"Maybe some kind of speed semblance? Or time, but no one's ever seen a kind of semblance like that before." Taiyang guessed.

"Well, there are plenty of strange one's out there. So, how are we gonna handle this?" He asked.

"Well, the girls had already wanted to be Huntresses. We might as well teach them how." Taiyang said (I know they don't get along, but Qrow would later teach Ruby, anyway and Taiyang didn't stop it, so he might as well be in on this now.)

So from there, the girls would learn to fight in the attempts to become Huntresses, Yang training with her father, Ruby later training with Qrow and Cereza (or Bayonetta, as she now liked to be called, none of her family knowing where she came up with the nickname) training with both of them, shocking them with her rapid development of her skills, both hand to hand and with weapons. Not only did she seem to be able to master just about any weapon she picked up, but she somehow even figured out how to shoots pistols with her feet! So, it was no surprise as she grew older that she and Yang were both guaranteed a spot at Beacon.
