Disclaimer: I do not own Bayonetta in any shape or form. It belongs to Sega and Platinum and is published by Nintendo. Moving on, if you believe Bayonetta 1-3 are considered adult, insane, and over-the-top, then prepare yourself because this story will go full throttle and hold nothing back. The plot that I have planned for "Bayonetta 4" will be insane and push boundaries that I don't think any Bayonetta game has done thus far in absurdity and graphic violence. So please, please prepare yourself for the insanity that is about to unfold before reading. This chapter in particular is what I would consider 18+ and will feature some very uncomfortable imagery that may disturb some. It is not for the faint of heart. I highly advise against reading this if you are not feeling up to it. You have been warned.
Heaven's Feel: With or Against Begins
The scene begins with a young Viola running in the catacombs of a dark, foreboding castle (reference). She was being persecuted by a mysterious lady in a red cloak.
"Mummy! Daddy! HELP ME...!" she cried out, tears pouring down her face.
She didn't know where she was going and couldn't see well! The only source of visible light were the torches on the red walls, but there were only so many. All of them were distanced about 20 feet from each other.
'This place is a maze…! I just wanna go home!' she thought.
As of now, all she was doing was going forward, trying to outrun the woman trailing her. Yet, she could feel herself slowing down the longer she ran in the poorly lit red hall (reference).
Exhaustion was setting in and she didn't know how much longer she could keep going. However, deep down, she knew that she had to keep running, she didn't want to die!
"COWARD! Useless WHORE!" a distant voice shrilled, inching closer and closer to her with every step.
'Why won't she just leave me alone?!' Viola thought, briefly turned her head right to see if the woman was still behind her.
Although, that would soon turn out to be a grave mistake...
BAMM!
Viola smashed herself against a dead-end wall, going backwards before falling onto the blood-covered cement floor!
"AAHHH!" she screamed, clutching her head as she felt a sharp pain on her forehead.
"Help me! Someone please-!"
FWOOSH!
The scene panned out before revealing giant red and purple orbs being drained from Viola's fatigued self!
"Nnngghh!" she moaned, feeling a tingling sensation in her eyes and body as fewer and fewer orbs came out.
She tried to raise herself off the bloody floor, but struggled as her eyes became blood-shot and her body unbearably lethargic. It was as if all the strength from her body had been sapped away, leaving her helpless and full of pain!
It was in that moment that she began wailing for help, pleading for her parents!
"MUMMY! DADDY! I don't want to die-agghh!"
Viola felt a nauseating dread spread throughout her body before vomiting a disgusting black liquid!
"Huuaghhh!" she motioned, crying as the pain on her forehead intensified.
All she could see now was the food and burning acid from her stomach mix in with the vile black substance as they continuously poured out of her mouth!
Stomp!
STOMP!
STOMP!
Viola slightly raised her body with her arms, touching the vomit smeared ground as the urge to puke came to an end. The evil woman was close, she could hear it, feel it in her very bones!
'How did...she do…this to me-?!' she thought, gasping for air multiple times.
"VIOLAAAA...!" the evil woman screeched, interrupting the girl's plight for survival as she made it to her.
The vile woman then reached down with her left hand before grabbing Viola's wet hair with ungodly force, raising it to her head to meet eye-to-eye!
"OWW!" Viola yelped, unable to free herself as the duress her body was in was overwhelming.
The depraved woman then begun yelling foul obscenities at the young girl, startling her even more!
"Worthless PIG! You should've NEVER BEEN BORN!"
"THATS NOT TRUE! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Viola screeched, trying to escape the woman's grasp.
However, just as the woman was about to grab her throat with her other hand, she shouted again in a last-ditch effort!
"CHESHIRE...!"
VOOSHH!
A bright, orange fire ignited in front of Viola before proceeding to engulf the entire woman and hallway behind her! It was as if a massive never-ending flamethrower had been unleashed upon the rotten bitch!
The scene then cuts to the evil woman as her red cloak became scorched by the heat, disintegrating into plumes of black ash!
"AAAHHH!" the woman wailed, dropping Viola as the blistering flames started burning her naked body!
She had become distraught as the flames began disfiguring her voluptuous body, seeing that her breasts and stomach were being melted into gushes of blood and cooked tissue as the torrid fire seared into them!
"MY BODY!" she howled, raising her voice even higher than before.
The skin across her body had begun burning up as if it were paper and peeling off, revealing her bloodied, black bones. Meanwhile, sizzling could even be heard as the fat and muscle tissues on her body ignited, causing her to be set ablaze from within!
"AAGGHHH! YOU INSOLENT WRETCH!" the vile woman shouted, remaining relentless as she tried to reach for Viola again!
Nothing was stopping her now, even as the fire charred her pale skin, flayed away the flesh off her bones, and burned her black hair!
She was inhuman! Dead set on reaching Viola at all costs!
Viola could only watch in horror as the flesh from the woman's face and body melted into a nasty red slop that was simultaneously being burned by the fire. The woman's eyes had even begun melting away as if they were chocolate, exposing the sockets of her black skull!
"AAAHHH!" Viola shrieked, trying to get up and escape.
However, the woman was too fast, seizing the opportunity to grab Viola's left wrist and burning her in the process!
"AAHHH! LET ME GO! PLEASE!" Viola screamed in agony!
She could feel every nerve and ounce of blood in her wrist die as the woman grabbed tighter, leaving her with some haunting last words!
"YOU. WILL. BE. MINE...!"
VOOSH!
The fire exploded, spreading at an exponential rate! It was enough to consume Viola, the woman, and the entire hallway!
"AAAHHH!" Viola screamed, grabbing at her face as the heat from the fire burned her skin.
Eventually, everything came to an end as a brilliant white light overwhelmed all of the orange flames and engulfed the entire area.
Heaven's Feel: With or Against Ends
"AAAAAHHHHHH...!" Viola wailed, waking up in the dead of night!
This had been the most intense, most traumatizing nightmare that she's had for the last few years now.
She quickly rose from the bed and dashed the kitchen, drinking a glass of water waiting 30 minutes to stop the crippling, body-aching shiver she was experiencing after the nightmare.
Three years had passed since Singularity's defeat. Yet, since ever then, she had been plagued by reoccurring nightmares of a malicious lady in red. It was almost a daily at this point since Every. Single. Dream she's had always went awry the moment the spots the mysterious woman in them...
So far, she's gotten somewhat used, but is still left unnerved by it. Hell, she couldn't even remember the last time she had rested well.
Anyhow, despite this situation, she had other pressing matters to dread over, especially now that the anniversary of Singularity's defeat was rapidly approaching.
In fact, there was only one minute left on the oven's clock before it would officially be April 1st.
Viola hastily looked it, acknowledging this fact before feeling a burning sensation on her left wrist. She then proceeded to look down, seeing a...black hand mark.
"How…?" she gaped, astonished by the sight.
She adamantly refused to believe what she was seeing, blinking multiple times as a result. It was only on the last blink that the mark vanished.
Viola then took a deep breath before sighing in relief, nervously cursing at herself afterwards.
"Shit. It's getting worse…"
This was the first time that a physical mark had been left on her after having a nightmare.
'What the hell does this all mean?! Could it be a… presage or something?' she worried.
However, she didn't even want to think anymore.
She was beyond exhausted and needed to sleep again. Although, things were going to be different this time. When she returned to her room, she went over to her favorite katana, Mab Dachi. It was standing against her nightstand and carried with it an invaluable trinket, Cheshire.
The scene shows Viola stare at the doll for a few seconds before embarrassingly reached for the blade and untying him from it. It had been years since she had last slept with the stuffed animal, previously deciding against sleeping with it.
Now, much of it stemmed from the fact she was a grown woman. However, it also came from her not seeing her parents nor Jeanne sleep with any stuffed animals. So, she figured that it wouldn't be appropriate for an adult such as her to be sleeping with them as well.
Still, Viola recalled all the times that she had slept with the doll as a child. It was as if all the bad things in the world would disappear. So, she relented…
'Just this once…' she thought, a sheepish smile appearing on her face.
She knew that April 1st was going to be a big day for her, and she needed what little sleep she could get. So, got into her bed again and began drifting off to sleep, repeating a promise that she once made to her parents.
"Mummy, daddy, one day I'll be strong enough to come rescue you. I promise…"
Many hours pass by...
"Bzzzzt! Bzzzzt! Bzzzzt!"
The clock on Viola's nightstand rang as the hour hand reached 6:50 am.
Soon after, the woman herself wakes up in a startled manner, reaching her hand out to stop the alarm.
"Ugh! I'll never get used to this," she quipped.
She then proceeded to lift herself off the bed in search of the bathroom. However, not before tripping on an object and falling face-first onto the tile floor.
"Oww! Can I not catch a break?!" she shouted out in annoyance.
She promptly used her hands to raise herself off the floor while turning her head to see what she tripped on.
"Oh. My. God. CHESHIRE! I'm so sorry!" she yelled.
Thus, a comedic scene ensued as Viola profusely apologized to Cheshire, showing the scene pan out from the outside of her apartment window.
A few minutes pass and Viola could be seen in the kitchen again. She had turned on the large Roku TV in the living room and was now preparing herself a bowl of Captain Crunch.
Jeanne had currently been out for two days as she had other duties to attend to, leaving Viola by herself. However, Viola knew that there was more to it as today was the day that... Bayonetta died and was dragged to Inferno with her father, Luka.
The situation, even to this day, caused much friction between the two. A lot of it came from anger and blame, but much of it also stemmed from their shared guilt. A guilt that they "didn't do enough" or were "useless" in the grand scheme of things.
Anyhow, as Viola munched on her Captain Crunch, she overheard the trashy tv host announce the cancelation of Netflix's "Fate: The Winx Saga". She couldn't help but roll her eyes with apathy, remembering how colorful and creative Winx Club had been in creating a world of both magic and technology.
'Seriously, how could a show about fairies be made into something so boring!' she thought, finishing up her bowl of cereal.
Afterwards, she left the bowl in the sink, deciding to look at the time on the oven.
"WHAT THE…?!" she shouted, beginning to panic to at the time.
It was currently 7:20 am. and Nintendo's panel was going to start at 8:00 am.
"Fuck! I only have 10 minutes to spare!" she complained.
She dashed to her room soon after, quickly taking her cosplay out from the closet.
It was the first time that E3 would be held in New Yorks Convention Center, and she wanted to see Nintendo's panel for the upcoming release of Mayonetta 4. She didn't want to miss any of it.
Today was a day where she could just forget about the past and have fun.
