Heaven's Shadow Chapter Thirteen: Finale Pt 3

(A Devil's Justice) (Play Ultima's Perfection/FFXIV Ost)

The entire forest was a desolate wasteland with an entire mountain of nothing but molten rock and slag. The heroes were scattered in the clearing of what was once a forest, with no other sign of life around them. On one end was the massive angelic creature that Sofia has become, two hands clasped together forming an orb of golden light, while the other two hands became golden. On the other end was the Demon Madama Butterfly, holding Ragna and the girls in one hand.

Sofia was the first to act, firing a beam of golden light, the heroes jumping out of the way as Ragna jumped off Madama and blasted towards Sofia. Diana and Bayonetta followed after while Butterfly jumped out of the beams way. The hybrid stabbed his blade into Sofia, entering into Inferno Mode, before dashing across her body in a circle, dragging his infernal blade and cutting her divine flesh. Diana slammed her fist into Sofia's chest as Bayonetta landed a kick, the force pushed Sofia's chest in a bit. Sofia prepared to swat them away, but Butterfly jumped into the air and sent a devastating right hook to Sofia's cheek. Despite her size, Butterfly still barely reached Sofia's waist, at least in this form. Still her strength was enough to knocking Sofia back as the other heroes joined.

Ragna flipped over Hawkgirl as she slammed her mace into the angelic being's back, creating a ripple. Tala conjured a spear of darkness while Jennifer twirled fire around said spear, hurling it into Sofia's chest. Sofia went to create another shockwave, but Superman and Martian Manhunter flew in and held her hands apart using all their strength to keep the limbs from colliding. Butterfly repeatedly punched Sofia in the face, golden blood splattering her features while the demon Madama laughed. Ghia'ta, GL, and Aya fired beams of lantern energy from their rings, flying around Sofia's head and out of her peripheral view. Blackfire kept slamming her energy charged fist on one part of Sofia, while her sister just kept firing bolts. A

"Come Crush, we must strike at the enemy!" Donna declared, grabbing at the alien punks arm.

"Bitch, the fuck we gonna do if the top heavy hitters ain't doing shit?!" Crush exclaimed.

"Well we can't stand here and do nothing, to do nothing is the coward's way out." Donna argued.

"We must find some noticeable weakness this gargantuan beast has, one that we can exploit." Donna suggested. Crush rolled her eyes and got a good look of the giant being, she saw how everyone was attacking from all sides. Yet despite this Sofia was not idle trying to swat Superman and Martian Manhunter off his hands, her one main hands firing beams onto the earth and trying to shake Butterfly off her head. Crush studied Sofia's features, taking everything from her bald head to her unblinking st-

"I got it! Come on!" With that Crush grabbed Donna's arm and dragged her across the destroyed forest, trying to get close to the giant without being noticed.

"Well we can't just stand here and do nothing, ya coming?" Flash asked, looking over at Batman.

"And how do you expect me to get all the way up the…..No." Batman groaned in annoyance as Flash pointed at his back.

"Come on, it's the safest way, and I'll make sure to hold your hand."

"..."

"...It's better than climbing with that silly rope."

"..."

"...I won't tell anyone."

(A Devil's Justice)

"RAAHHH!" Wonder Woman roared as she slammed her fists into the ground. No matter what she did it seemed as if Sofia did not budge, but she could not stop, she just needed the right push. Meanwhile, Ragna slid under her free floating hand as Superman slowed down its trajectory. He ran up the arm and switched for Cerberus, stabbing it into the skin and launching off it and up towards Sofia's head. He pulled his fist back as he flew towards her head, which did not go unnoticed by the being. Ragna's eyes widened as Superman appeared before him, Sofia's hand placed between him and her. Ragna pulled his fist back as he collided with the oversized digit.

"Annoying pest, all of you." With a flap of her wings, several of the heroes went flying from the tremendous force. Ragna and Superman were swatted away, crashing into the earth, while Diana stabbed her sword into Sofia's body, the rest of her healing instantly from Ragna's hellfire. Madama Butterfly was grabbed by her leg and thrown around like a ragdoll before she was blasted by Sofia's beam flying into a mountain. Bayonetta tried to hang on as Diana caught her, but Sofia released another shockwave that sent them both flying. Once the dust cleared Sofia stood triumphantly, staring down at the small heroes below.

"I will commend you, but you could never win, not with the Lord on my side. You sinners, you pagan patrons, you devils." Sofia growled, eyes narrowed in anger as she saw the group standing back up.

"Why? Why continue to fight when you know I am so much stronger than all of you?" Sofia asked, forming a golden orb within her palms.

"You'll never get it, but let me make it as simple as can be." Ragna stated, his sleeve destroyed and blood dripping down his head.

"We're not fighting because we want to, we're fighting cause we have to win." Sofia cocked an eyebrow in confusion, but could care less as she fired a beam into the earth, destroying the land around her. Sofia stared down at the ground beneath her, and for a split second her eyes widened seeing a green and pink shield wrapped around the ground courtesy of the lanterns.

"Gah!" Sofia growled, before taking a deep breath and preparing to fire one of her floating golden fists, firing at the shield. The group prepared to take the blast, but at the last second Madama appeared and kicked the arm away, glaring up at angelic being.

"How swell of you to take your time, Madama." Bayonetta joked as the Madama turned to look at the heroes.

"...Hey, where the hell is Flash and Batman?" Hawkgirl asked, noticing the caped crusader and speedster were missing.

"Donna and Crush are also missing." Aya looked around, noticing Diana's little sister and the punk were also gone.

"I think we got bigger issues." Jennifer muttered as Sofia loomed over them, even with Madama Butterfly who was barely reaching Sofia's pelvis and waist, it seemed she could only barely damage Sofia who instantly healed afterwards. Madama looked between the group and Sofia, before her eyes landed on Ragna and Bayonetta. The hybrid didn't know why, but he felt as if the demon woman was looking at him as if he was some sort of sizzling meat. She licked her lips to further prove his point before reaching down as Ghia'ta and GL lowered the shield. Ragna's eyes widened in shock as Butterfly wrapped her large digits around him before pulling him into the air.

"What gives Madama?!" Ragna looked over his shoulder to also see Bayonetta held in Butterfly's grip with him, and doing his best to ignore the bosom pressed to the back of his head.

"What the hell are you doing?!" GL exclaimed but the Madama ignored them as she stared down at Ragna. He looked back into her eyes as she winked…..and her maw suddenly grew twice as big before she dropped the two.

"AAAAHHHH! RRRAAAAGGGNNNNAAAAA!" Several of the girls cried out as the hybrid and the umbran witch were swallowed whole.

"W-WHY DID YOU DO THAT?! HOW COULD YOU EAT HIM!" Tears stained Ghia'tas' cheeks as she flew up and conjured a spectral fist. It shattered upon contact with Madama's cheek and did not damage as Butterfly blinked.

"...Grrrraa….Guhkl….." Madama began groaning in pain, clutching her head as her body convulsed. Everyone, including Sofia and the hidden heroes, looking at the demon in confusion before a red and purple aura began to cover her body, taking the shape of a cocoon around her, growing larger and larger until it matched Sofia if only a head taller. The cocoon hardened followed by cracks spreading across the shell, as an arm ripped out of it. The entire shell exploded and disappeared in sparkles of dark energy, as Madama Butterfly took on a completely new form. Madama Butterfly, whose name sake describes her form, could only be now described as if she became a rhinoceros beetle. Several spikes trailing up her arm, with flames shooting out, her legs covered in spiky scaled armor leaving her thighs and midriff revealed. Closed insectoid wings on her back ready to take flight, with curved spiked shoulder plates. Her crown became slicker with the crown now two horns curved around the side of her head and two spikes shooting out of her head. She transformed from regal beauty to demon of war, the metamorphosis complete, as red and purple eyes shot open.

"Holy shit." Tala muttered as the behemoth of a woman set down on the ground, staring across at Sofia.

"What is this?" Ghia'ta asked outloud, flying up at the Madama.

"Is this why you ate Ragna?!"

"...Ghia'ta?" And for the first time since she arrived, Butterfly spoke, shocking everyone. Her voice was strange to say the least, it sounded masculine and feminine at the same tie….eyet Ghia'ta recognized that voice.

"Ragna?!"

"Yeah…..Yeah…..it's….me?!" Ragna lifted his hand, only to see clawed gauntlets that were not his own.

"Well this is a strange predicament we're in." Bayonetta mused, which shocked everyone as it was simply Madama talking and yet they could hear the Umbran Witch.

"Bayonetta?" Ragna said, looking to his left.

"The one and only, Little Devil." Bayonetta teased, Butterfly looking to her right.

"What is happening? It's like….like we're the same body and same thoughts but I'm….still me." Ragna said. He lifted his right hand and flexed his fingers, just as Bayonetta thought the same thing.

"One body, one mind. Did you know Butterfly could do this?"

"If I did, I would've suggested it earlier." Bayonetta said, taking a pose.

"But I can't disagree with the results."

"Yeah….I feel stronger than ever!" Ragna exclaimed, slamming his fists together.

"This power, this energy, it...it feels like that time when we clashed back in Redgrave...and when we fought Aris and Lero." Ragna muttered outloud. All those times both he and Bayonetta fought against or together their energy seemed to fuse not in struggle but in synergy, as if they were meant to fuse with one another. Was it because he was a hybrid and she was a servant of darkness? He did not know, but he did know is that he felt stronger than ever, better if Hades ever got out again he was more than strong enough to beat him.

"Will it be enough though?"

"I think not." Sofia growled, firing her beam at the Madama. The Madama grabbed Ghia'ta and shielded her with one hand, stopping the beam with the other. The demon of war growled as she was pushed back a bit but pushed through the pain. Sofia's eyes widened as the Madama knocked the beam away and into the sky, flicking the smoke out of her hand as she set Ghia'ta down.

"I think….we settle this once and for all." Both Ragna and Bayonetta declared, slamming their fist together.

"What….what are you?" Sofia growled, the Madama humming as she rubbed her chin.

"Good question. Well I'm Ragna, I'm Bayonetta, and I'm Madama Butterfly. Clearly we're the ultimate fusion of Hybrid, Witch, and Devil. Hmmm…..a name, a name." The Madama hummed, before snapping her fingers.

"Aha! Well evildoer, you are about to face the might of Inferno. You face the Son of Sparda, the Last Umbran Witch, and Great Madama! Behold, the Mistress of War!" The Madama posed with her hip out and a peace sign in the air.

"MADAMA SPARDA!"

(Madama Sparda: The Umbran Devil!) (Play Let's Dance, Boys! Bayonetta Ost)

"Now…..Let's Dance!" Hellfire shot out of her elbows giving Madama Sparda the boost they needed to charge at Sofia. The angelic being would not be so idle as she fired a beam of golden energy that could vaporize an entire city right at the demon. To everyone's surprise Sparda kept running towards it, but at the last second she jumped and slammed her metal heels into the beam, blasting through it with her momentum. Sofia had no time to react as two heels slammed into her cheek, sending the gargantuan toppling onto the ground as Madama Sparda landed behind her.

"HELL YEAH BELOVED! KICK HER HOLIER THAN THOU ASS!" Tala cheered, some of the others joining her.

"...Am I crazy or did I see two individuals hanging onto Sofia?" Superman asked, pointing at the flipped angelic being.

"You got hit too many times, Earthling." Blackfire dismissed him as she cheered. Back at the battle Sofia used her wings to flip herself back on her feet, turning to glare at the demon just in time as Sparda pulled her fist back, giving it a peck before slamming it into Sofia's nose. Sparda twisted her body and kicked Sofia in her gut, conjuring a large pistol and firing a hole in Sofia's gut. The angelic being quickly healed and threw a golden fist, slamming into Sparda's own knuckle, a shockwave shaking the entire landscape and the cities nearby.

"Do you think you fusing will stop me?!" Sofia roared, firing a beam, but Sparda easily ducked under it, pulling her fist back as flames shot out of her elbow. The extra boost added extra power which slammed into Sofia's chest, parting the clouds above and sending Sofia crashing into a nearby mountain.

"I'd say it's doing a pretty good job." Sparda stated as she reached for the cloak end of Sofia and pulling her around, spinning the angelic nun in a circle with so much force it created a tornado. Once she had enough momentum, Sparda hurled Sofia into the sky, her wings opening up and quickly flying into the sky. Flying as fast as they could, Sparda slammed their knee into Sofia's chest, the shockwave shaking the entire sky, as the demon of war flipped her body and slammed her heel on Sofia's back sending her flying into the air. The entire forest was now a crater with Sofia inside.

"HAIL MARY!" Sparda cheered, slamming both heels into Sofia and firing rounds into her gut, the nun screaming in anguish. Madama Sparda stepped off the Nun with a smile as Sofia flapped back on her feet, glaring at the demon before throwing her fist. She snarled as Madama easily caught the fist, throwing another one only for it to get caught again. She smirked, preparing to fire another beam, but that confidence went up in smoke as Madama Sparda formed two extra arms, letting them pop their digits before unleashing a beatdown of unholy proportions. Shockwaves shook the crater as Madama Sparda yawned, Sofia trying desperately to pull away but the one hand now keeping her at close range held a tight grip. She quickly fired her beam which luckily knocked Sparda back.

"GAH! DAMN YOU!"

"I'd be happy that I'd pop a vein, but it's not that hard with you." Sparda jested, ducking under a thrown fist, only to get a face full of golden light. Once it died down Sparda's face had a few smudges on her cheeks and helm, popping her eyes open, she glared at Sofia.

"RAAAHHH!" Madama Sparda roared, unleashing a pillar of darkness and hellfire from her mouth, blasting Sofia back and sending her flying. Sofia gasped and snarled in rage, her once calm feature taking it's normal look of rage now that it seemed she was the one being pushed back into a corner.

"GRAAHHH! DAMN YOU TO HELL!" Sofia roared, expanding her hands to form a large golden orb much bigger than the last ones. Sparda narrowed their eyes before taking a deep breath, placing her hands together and forming a sphere of hellfire and darkness, pulling them back as she spread her legs. Ghia'ta looked between the two and knew that they were both charging an attack, watching in awe as the Ragna/Bayonetta fusion had a large smile on her face.

"HA/RAH!" Both beings roared as they fired their beams, the golden pillar of light clashed with the darkness, creating a beam struggle with neither side giving in.

"We….We should help them, Ragna needs the support!" Ghia'ta suggested.

"And what can we do?" GL asked.

"The percentage of her defeat with our cooperation would go higher." Aya stated.

"We just got to distract her for a split second, it's all we need!" Ghia'ta declared, flying into the sky and soaring towards Sofia.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Superman smiled as he flew after Ghia'ta, Diana grabbed Jennifer and flew after them with Martian Manhunter helping Tala. The group flew high and up towards Sofia's head, which did not go unnoticed.

"Annoying gnats, begone!" Sofia roared, her eye widened releasing a shockwave that pushed them back a bit but the heroes flew as close as they could, dropping several of them onto her head and shoulders.

"Give it all you got!" Ghia'ta exclaimed, firing at Sofia as did everyone shooting lasers or magic bolts. Diana was the only one who did nothing floating above the others, wondering what she could do…..she saw how little her friends power did as Sofia didn't even blink as she focused all her energy on Ragna and Bayonetta. Looking down at her sword, her eyes drifted to the sky, seeing gathering clouds above, lightning flashing in the distance. She….she needed all the firepower she could get.

"Where the hell is Batman and Flash?!" GL cursed.

"GANGWAY HERE WE COME!" The group looked down to the earth to see the speedster running towards them, speeding across the destroyed battleground.

"...Is that Batman on his back?" Aya asked, tilting her head seeing the speedster give Batman a piggyback ride. The speedster ran up a large tipped over boulder, using the speed to launch himself into the air and towards Sofia. The crimson speedster ran up and jumped across Sofia's left eye, the behemoth following him.

"Blink and you'll miss!" Flash laughed as Batman threw several batarangs, the devices exploding creating a flash of light that forced Sofia the first time to close her left eye. It did not matter, she still had her right and could focus on destroying the Madama Spa-!

"Hey Bitch!" Two pairs of feet landed on her right eye, looking over she saw the alien punk and the younger Amazon smirking down at her.

"Ready?"

"Let's do this!" Donna exclaimed as they grabbed Sofia's eyelid and jumped into the air stretching the oculi muscle long enough to be about fifteen yards.

"NOW!" Both Crush and Donna let go of the eyelid, slapping it back into Sofia's eye causing her to comically squeal in pain from her own eye burning in pain. She damned these sinners, would it not end?!

KRA-KOOM

Everyone looked up to the sky to see Diana standing in the middle of the thunderous clouds, raising her sword high as lightning struck it, channeling through her body. With a battle cry Diana flew towards Sofia, plunging her blade square into her forehead shooting right through her skull. Sofia screamed in pain as the beams dispersed, Ghia'ta staring up at Diana's sword when an idea popped in her head. Flying on top of Sofia's head she latched a chain onto the handle of Diana's blade with a chain construct, shooting several others behind her back.

"Grab on!" Ghia'ta exclaimed as Sofia began shaking her head. The others flew up, with Diana grabbing Donna and Crush as Flash joined the others with Batman. Everyone grabbed onto a chain as Ghia'ta began pulling.

"PULL!" With all their strength the heroes pulled, taking Sofia's moment of blindness and pain to pull her head up, forcing her to take a few steps back.

"Ragna!"

"FINISH IT!" Madama Sparda's eyes widened in shock, hearing everyone as they pulled on Sofia's head. She smiled as she formed another orb, however instead of firing a beam she grabbed the orb and pulled out Jekyll and Hyde.

"YOU GOT IT!" Madama Sparda roared as she charged towards Sofia, Jekyll and Hyde charging with demonic power. Sofia roared and tried to shake them off her, clapping her hand's creating another shockwave that shattered the construct and sent them flying. Sofia looked back down only to come face to face with two barrels.

"Ciao."

"NNNNOOOO!"

BANG

Sofia's entire body was lifted into the sky and past the clouds until she became a tiny dot, the group staring up at the sky before BA-BOOM, an explosion rocked the sky above seeing a large purple cloud far in the stratosphere.

"Did….did we do it?" Tala asked.

"...Ragna?" Ghia'ta asked, looking up at the Madama whose expression turned serious, glaring up at the sky.

"...I can still sense her. I'll be back!" Flapping his wings, Madama Sparda flew into the sky, disappearing into the atmosphere.

"Ragna….." Ghia'ta held her hand up to reach the Madama, but she could not reach. That was when a familiar hand reached out, taking hers in theirs. Looking over she saw Diana staring down at her with a smile of reassurance, and trust. Both nodded at each other and stared up at the sky, bending their knees.

"Ghia'ta? Dian-!" Superman's concerned voice was silenced as the Amazon and Sapphire Princess blasted off into the sky, leaving everyone back on the ground.

"...So how was it being held by Flash?" Hawkgirl asked, smirking at the caped crusader.

"Not. Another. Word."

(A Devil's Justice)

High above past the stratosphere, Sofia stared down at the world below, her home. The world she was born on, the world she will fight for, the world God created for his children. She was chosen by the Order to carry the Will of God, she moved through the ranks because of her devotion, she earned her mark and her power. Yet, in a single night, it was all destroyed because of that damned Son of Sparda and the Umbran Witch. Everything she worked for…..gone.

"I…I sacrificed everything to destroy you!" Sofia roared as her wings spread out and formed a halo, golden aura surrounding her body. Madama Sparda broke through stratosphere seeing the golden aura of Sofia, eyes widened at the power flowing through her.

"I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO DESTROY YOU EVEN IF IT MEANS MYSELF!" Sofia declared, aiming herself directly at Sparda. The Madama looked up in anger, sneering at the Angelic Nun as dark energy surrounding them.

"If we dodge, she'll destroy Redgrave and Metropolis with that kind of power. We have to take it head on no matter the cost!" Ragna exclaimed, balling his fists.

"I'm with you, Little Devil, let's stop this psycho nun!" Bayonetta cheered.

"LET'S GO!" Both roared as they blasted into space, pulling their fists back.

"BE DESTROYED BY GOD'S LIGHT" Sofia roared, firing dozens upon dozens of little golden suns, hurling them towards Sparda. The Madama roared as she met the orbs head on, flying through them and taking every shot, hellfire blasting out of her elbows as she pulled her fist back. Sparda slammed into Sofia and flew past her, blasting a jet of fire to her left and flying to the right, flying back towards Sofia. She punched Sofia and flew all around her as a red blur, the golden aura burned Sparda's armor but they ignored the pain as they had no choice. Sofia roared as her four arms pulled part and disappeared into energy, spiraling around Sofia's chest

"YOU DO NOT BELONG ON THIS WORLD! BE BLASTED TO OBLIVIONS!" Sofia fired a large beam of light, bright as the sun, firing right towards Madama Sparda. Sparda roared as they flew towards the beam, surprised when a pink beam and lightning bolt flew past them.

"Ghia'ta?! Diana?!" Ragna cried out as said heroines pulled their fists back, Diana channeling all her remaining lightning, hair flickering back from white to black. Ghia'ta channeled all the love she had for Ragna, possibly her strongest attack ever.

"That is where you are wrong, Sofia!" Ghia'ta exclaimed.

"This world belongs to no one!" Diana declared.

"AND EVERYONE!" They met the beam head on slamming their fists into it, even if the force was greater than anything they have faced. Sparda's eyes widened in fear knowing they could die without the Madama. She needed all the power, reaching into her chest the Madama roared as she pulled out a hilt. From her chest Morningstar was unsheathed, Sparda twisting it and aiming it at the beam, before flying towards it and stabbing the sword into the beam. Sofia's eyes widened in shock and fear as the Madama's sword not only absorbed the heavenly light but corrupted it turning it into hellfire. They pushed through the beam of light until they were right in front of Sofia, flying right above her beam. Madama Sparda roared as they pulled the blade back now channeled with hellfire and all their demonic power, just as Diana and Ghia'ta landed on Sparda's shoulder.

"RAGNA!" Ghia'ta called out, shooting out a beam of whatever was left on her ring, adding a little extra power to Morningstar.

"DO IT!" Diana finished, firing a bolt from her hand onto Morningstar.

"SUFFER!" Sofia roared as she hurled herself at the Madama.

"HHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!" Ragna and Bayonetta roared as they flew forward, swinging the blade. A flash of light and all was still in the stars above, Sparda and Sofia's back to each other before the Madama slowly sheathed her blade.

"Jackpot!"

"No….N….." Sofia's body split in half, slowly falling to the earth below, staring up at the Madama in shock.

"But….But I was God's Servant…..I had his Light….Ho-!"

BA-BOOM

The entire sky above Metropolis and Redgrave was covered in a cloud of golden light, the Madama looking down at the planet below, both Diana and Ghia'ta sitting on their shoulder with large smiles on their faces.

"We won."

(A Devil's Justice)

WHOO That was really fun to make. I have been building up the Madama Butterfly fusion for several chapters, even if they weren't entirely in your face cept for either the Aris fight or Lero fight. The main point is that I really wanted the final battle to end with a big old kaiju fight with Madama Sparda who doesn't really have an official design but imagine Sparda's horns on Butterfly's crown and a lot of his armor in where her 'clothes' would be. Regardless I had a lot of fun just writing one sided beatdowns and everyone was involved even Batman. Granted I do have some problems with this chapter and I will get into it in the pros and cons list for this story after all is over. With that being said a lot of things inspired the big final battle, mainly Ifrit Risen vs Bahamut from the new Final Fantasy 16 game, shit was fucken metal. Anyways that is it, the final battle is over and Sofia has been defeated. Now all we have left is the epilogue (Which was either one or two chapters who knows most likely one) and the Pros and Cons list/My final thoughts and review responses that I've been saving since the beginning. With that good night and I will get started tomorrow.
