"World of Chaos"
It was Christmas time Phantom was walking around a bright city and he reflected on how his life has changed so much ever since meeting Bayonetta. Phantom has changed his look. He was still wearing the same clothes after he was infused with Umbran magic and changed his hair making it styled.
"The government has organized a team to investigate the continued reports of unusual weather and strong earthquakes occurring throughout the region." a news reporter said.
"Must be crazy." Phantom said.
"Officials are trying to determine the sources of these phenomena as citizens nervously clamor for answers. Our special report on the regional disasters, "Nature Unleashed" continues after these messages." the news reporter said.
Phantom ran into Enzo who was loaded with presents out of nowhere someone dropped a present into the pile of presents Enzo has. It was Bayonetta who also changed her look "What's up Bayonetta?" Phantom asked.
"You know what I need? Some heels without guns." Bayonetta said.
"You don't mind if we make a quick stop, do you, Enzo?" Bayonetta asked.
"Do you know what's day's is coming up? Here I was shopping, minding my own business, then you show up and turn me into a damn porter." Enzo said.
Bayonetta walked by and the people were amazed by her new look even Phantom couldn't take his eyes off of her. "Seriously, Bayonetta! You still haven't paid me back for the car!" Enzo said.
He bumped into her back "Now, now, is that any way to speak to an old friend? Besides, I did that job for you. For free I might add. Do I really have to tell everyone how you grabbed on to my leg sobbing like a schoolboy?" Bayonetta asked.
"I'm gonna say your best look by far." Phantom said.
"This is why I can't have good things. You're some piece of work, you know that? If you weren't already lined to go to Inferno, you'd be well on your way with all the shit you pull. Dressing up like a nun just so you can off some angels and keep the underworld happy." Enzo said.
Bayonetta saw something that caught her eye Phantom waited outside of the store "Hey, I'm talking to you!" Enzo said.
"Shit… but if it's that or getting torn limb from limb for eternity in whatever circle of Inferno you witches go to if you break the contract…" Enzo said.
A girl seemed offended "Fuggedaboutit. I'd off the fuckin' winged bastards all damn day." Enzo said.
He bumped into bystander "But what the fuck you wastin' your time trying to send some schmucks off to the afterlife for?" Enzo asked.
Bayonetta put another present onto Enzo's pile "Done and done. Let's go home, Enzo." Bayonetta said.
"Oh I'm not done yet I've gotta get some presents for old friends of mine." Phantom said.
"And what is it that you came to fetch, my dear?" Bayonetta asked.
Jeanne came riding in Enzo screamed "Motherfucker!" and threw his presents into the air and Jeanne almost drove over him before stopping the witches grabbed the presents "You always know how to make an entrance, Jeanne." Bayonetta said.
"Considering you've been mind controlled." Phantom said.
"A rare sight to see you in the city." Bayonetta said.
"Just had something I had to look into." Jeanne said.
Both witches threw the presents back at Enzo "Cereza, you haven't felt anything strange recently?" Jeanne asked.
"Now that you mentioned it... I still haven't quite figured out how a broke, bumbling wise guy managed to turn himself into a semi respectable family man." Bayonetta said.
"FUGGETABOUTIT!" Enzo said.
"And what's "Cereza" shit?" Enzo asked.
"That is her real name." Phantom said.
"You're about as sweet as my nana's grappa, you know that? Some witch with amnesia goes around calling herself a weapon, and it turns out she really got stuck with a kid's nickname. That's shit's rich, I tell ya what..." Enzo said.
"Shut up Enzo." Phantom said.
"Our friends in Paradiso are far too quiet... I'm sure you've noticed." Jeanne said.
"They haven't showed up in months." Phantom said.
"But they aren't the only ones." Jeanne said.
"Pray tell." Bayonetta said.
"Our friends down south seem to be a bit upset as well." Jeanne said.
The two witches looked at their shadows to see their Madama demonesses. "And now in lighter news. The annual holiday Parade is being held today. City police have closed off roads to prepare for the massive influx of merrymakers expected to take in this year's festivities, set to be headlined by a flyover from the military's aerial acrobatics unit "Platinum Stars." Authorities tell Channel 2 news that this year's parade may break all-time attendance records." the news reporter said.
Bayonetta's hat flew off her head "I have a bad feeling about this." Phantom said.
"Whoa, shit! The Platinum Stars! Crap! I need to hurry up and get Ed and Edna's presents, or I'm gonna get it!" Enzo said.
Bayonetta's hat flew back to her which Phantom grabbed and gave it back to her. "We'll talk latter. I'll see you back home." Jeanne said.
"Don't forget to pick up the things for the party." Bayonetta said.
Jeanne leaves Bayonetta and Phantom got the sense something was coming "You know Phantom you might be right about a bad feeling." Bayonetta said.
"Whassa matter with you? I told you what I'm after. A jet! I want a toy jet! You know, the kind with wings... Flies in the sky? No. I'm not buying any damned angels. Yellow, blue. I don't care what color they are!" Enzo said.
"I learned my lesson with those bastards, you hear me!?" Enzo referenced his time when he was taken by an angel.
"Just a normal, damn jet please." Enzo said.
The jets roared in the sky "You hear that!? I want one of those. The things flying in the air right now. There! That's the one!" Enzo said.
"That's the biggest one you've got in the store, right? Wrap it up nice, will ya? It's a present, for God's sakes." Enzo said.
He saw one of the jets coming down "You know what, screw the pretty ribbon. Just hurry up and put it in the box, will ya!?" he tried to rush things so he could get out of the store.
The jet was really coming down hard and fast "Fuck the damn ribbon!" Enzo screamed.
Bayonetta and Phantom got in front of the store "You know, I try to avoid doing this in my Sunday best." Bayonetta said.
She kicked the jet into the air and she and Phantom flew into the sky jumping onto the jet. Bayonetta's dress got oil on it. Phantom was all ready to fight back the new angels Acceptance. "At least your lot still knows how to make an entrance." Bayonetta said.
She opened the portal into Purgatorio and jumped through it and the angels sliced her dress off. And she got her Umbran uniform on and fought the angels. "Yippiee Kay Yay motherduckers!" Phantom said.
The two fought the angels Bayonetta still used her best sexy moves on the angels but soon her handguns broke under stress "This is why buy anything on sale." Bayonetta said.
"I wonder where your last guns are." Phantom wondered.
On the ground Enzo was trying to get his car started "Didn't I say it!? This is why I can't have nice things!" Enzo said.
"Damnit, car! Start already!" Enzo yelled.
A man got in front of his car "Right on time to deliver a little holiday cheer." the man said.
"Oh... Fucking wonderful." Enzo said.
The man threw a sign to the side and Enzo knew who the man was "R-Rodin!? But I don't believe in Santa!" Enzo said.
Santa Rodin stared at him "Watch your mouth, Enzo." he said.
"Don't want anyone offin' you for sacrilege before you've paid your tab." Rodin said.
He picked up Enzo "Un-be-fuckin-lievable." Enzo fearfully said.
On the jet Bayonetta and Phantom were fighting the old fashion way Phantom punched a Acceptance in the chest "Can't..." he threw one punch. "Ever..." he threw a second punch. "Get a nice holiday shopping trip!" he threw his final punch.
Bayonetta was kicking some of them on the ground Enzo was in the passager seat while Rodin was driving "Motherfucker!" Enzo screamed.
Rodin drove seat up a police car and onto the side of the buildings "Can't ever get a nice day." Phantom said.
"At least you're not as bad as the them." Bayonetta teased.
"Bayonetta!" Rodin shouted to the witch.
He gave her new guns Love is Blue she equipped all four pistols and pose "Still sexy as ever." Phantom said.
Enzo was now in his car alone "I believe!" he screamed.
"I believe!" he said again.
The car ran off the buildings "I fuckin' believe!" Enzo said.
Rodin landed on the ground and grabbed the toy jet Enzo brought from earlier and Enzo ended up in his car safe and sound. "Beautiful!" Rodin said.
Bayonetta armed with her new guns battle poses "Now it's time to be naughty." Bayonetta said.
The two fought the angels every time they defeated three more of them show up. A bigger angel with a sword attacked them. Bayonetta counters this and Jeanne showed up into the fight. A larger snake-like angel slices Bayonetta and Phantom's jet up. The duo ended up in Witch Time and battled the angel Belief "Is it me or do these guys keep getting uglier and creepier?" Phantom asked.
Jeanne landed right behind them "That was quick. Did you get everything?" Bayonetta asked.
"Forgot the caviar." Jeanne said.
"Aw crap." Phantom said.
"Think they're still open?" Jeanne asked.
"Think we have bigger things to worry about." Phantom said.
The angel still prepared to fight them "It's not Christmas without caviar. Let's finish this quickly, then." Bayonetta said.
The three fight Belief no matter what the angel was no match for two full fledged Umbra Witches and one honorary member. Bayonetta threw the angel to jeanne who kicked it into a building Bayonetta summons Gomorrah to finish it. The demon crew onto the angel and tore it apart. It went back into the portal but however it broke free of the Umbran spell and attacked Bayonetta "Cereza!" Jeanne said.
She punched her best friend out of the way and instead she got hit and her soul was pushed out of her body. Infernal hands grabbed Jeanne "Cereza!" Jeanne shouted.
"Jeanne!?" Bayonetta and Phantom asked.
"No this isn't how things end!" Jeanne said.
Jeanne's soul was dragged to Inferno, Phantom tried saving her but failed. He began tearing up "You bastard!" he yelled at the demon "I'm not one for pets who don't listen to their masters!" Bayonetta said.
The two summon wings to fly and battle Gomorrah. After an insane battle they were able to finish off Gomorrah by summoning Labolas to finish it. Rain poured and Bayonetta carried her best friend's lifeless body through the streets.
Elsewhere in the world a Lumen Sage was teleported to a mountain. "Lumen Sage. Is revenge not all you desire?" a man asked.
"I know the one who destroyed your world. I know the one who destroyed your love." the man said.
"Who?" the Lumen Sage asked.
Bayonetta and Phantom brought Jeanne's body to the Gates of Hell. Jeanne's body was placed in a casket "Dead witches get dragged to hell." Rodin said.
Phantom was sitting down next to Jeanne's body "It is what it is. Jeanne's gonna wander Inferno suffering for eternity. Them's the breaks." Rodin said.
Phantom pulled out his gun and aimed at Rodin's head. Bayonetta pulled out her pistols "I didn't ask you to tell me what I already know. Rodin. Especially if you're going to be flip about it." Bayonetta said.
Rodin moved the gun aside "You know better than that..." Rodin said.
"I suppose you're right." Phantom said.
"you're not the kind to let that sort of summon go out of control, Bayonetta." Rodin said.
"I'm sorry for what happened. I couldn't save her soul in time." Phantom said.
Bayonetta could tell Phantom has a sense of guilt. "You didn't fail me or her Phantom ." Bayonetta assured.
"Something's up. The balance of powers that keep things in check don't feel right, does it?" Rodin asked.
"I suppose with the destruction of the Right Eye the universe was thrown out of balance." Phantom said.
"I suppose you're right." Bayonetta said.
Enzo was leaning over Jeanne's casket "You know, she's pretty hot for a dead chick." Enzo said.
"Weirdo." Phantom said under his breath.
"Wasn't a big fan of her shit when she was in the realm of the living, but lookin' at her now..." Enzo smiled.
He stared for a second before turning his smile down "Nah. Still not a fan." Enzo said.
"She's not dead, Enzo." Bayonetta said.
"She's not?" Phantom asked.
"She's right. You're only really dead after your soul's been completely absorbed into another realm of the trinity." Rodin said.
"So she's got a time limit." Phantom said.
"But that's just a matter of time, cuz I don't see no way of savin' a soul lost in hell." Rodin said.
Bayonetta looked down in defeat "Bayonetta what the real Gates?" Ghost asked.
"Could we use them?" Bayonetta asked.
"I can't stop you from trying to use 'em, but I don't think you got a chance down there." Rodin said.
"We almost didn't have a chance against Balder." Phantom said.
"I'll see what I can do about putin' her on ice for a while…" Rodin said.
"You'll need this…" Rodin said, as he grabbed Jeanne's watch.
"The heart of an Umbra Witch. The magic that keep your kind alive in this world for eternities." Rodin said.
"I don't have an Umbran Watch." Phantom said.
"It's because you became a partial Umbran member Phantom you didn't undergo through the trials." Bayonetta explained.
"Anyways should keep her body in this realm stable, but you need to reunite this with her soul if you're gonna try and bring her back." Rodin said.
He handed the watch to Bayonetta "I figure you got about a day before it's game over." Rodin said.
"Phantom, you've got a jet, right?" Bayonetta asked.
"I do." Phantom said.
"Before heading out I'll hook you up." Rodin said.
He showed her new weapons and she turned over to Phantom "Maybe we should let my apprentice try one or two." Bayonetta said.
"Let's go." Phantom said.
They head to Noatun, The City of Genesis.
