Extermination Days. Every once a year in Hell, do Angels known as Exorcists or Exterminators come down from Heaven and into Hell with their holy weapons, crafted specifically for the erasure of souls. They ravage the city like feral animals, massacre any poor damned soul who catches their eye. They were considered nearly unstoppable, with barely anyone to fight back. Any hope of escape or protection was lost almost immediately the moment you are spotted.
At the moment, they were doing what they did best and showing the poor residents of Hell no mercy. They were driven by an insatiable hatred of demon kind, and the urge to slaughter them whenever they were in sight. Clear example, a poor little imp tries to take his chances by hiding in an alleyway…
(Sounds familiar, don't it?)
But nothing was out of the line of sight for these bloodthirsty Ravagers from Heaven. Those who try to run were not so lucky either as their executioners were swift and brutal. As of this moment, nothing could be done to save the poor unfortunate souls whose fates were sealed by the soul purging blades of the Exterminators.
(GUN SHOTS ROLL OUT)
…Or, so it seems, as suddenly one of the Exorcists drop dead as golf ball sized hole appears in the center of its head. The other angels were caught off by this and look to see just who or what did that. It just so happened that at a distance from the incursion, standing at the road was a woman. A HUMAN woman by the looks of it, with slender yet curvy bewitching figure. She has black hair, gray eyes and a beauty mark on her chin. Her hair was long, done up in a beehive style and with red ribbons tied in it, was wearing glasses with a filigreed design, but the most distinguishing feature was her outfit, a skintight suit that her hair seemed to meld with, making it hard to tell where it ended and begun, as the suit had gold chains and rose-like patterns and an opening at the back. She also has white gloves with red palms, black and gray heels which seemed to have guns attached in the back, three buckled straps on each arm, and a pair of crescent moon earrings. In her hands were a pair of guns, double barreled pistols, designed to look like derringers, but were huge in comparison as they were made of some red metal with circular golden engraved details at their barrels with gemstones in their center.
One gun was smoking her hands as she held with an outstretched arm, the end of its barrel was smoking.
"Well now…this is a new one." She said. "Poor little demons getting their asses handed to them psychopathic angels. That's the most pathetic thing I've heard today. But oh well, as long as you lot are in for some fun, than I'm more than happy to oblige you."
The angels that were on the ground had expressions of confusion on their LED masks. Even the demons that were yet to perish were confused by the heck this lady was. One thing was for sure though, she was drop dead gorgeous.
Emphasis on 'drop dead', as another exorcist swooped in and brandished its spear towards the woman, only to be met with a bullet to their heads themselves as the woman moved faster than them, striking with her other gun, not even breaking a sweat.
Bayonetta, the Famed Witch, found herself out of nowhere, amidst the chaos that was unfolding. And while she was a lady out of place, maybe out of time, what she was looking at seemed to be no different than what she experiences on a daily basis.
"Can't say I'd wished to be at rest." She said to no one in particular. "For as long as there's music, I'll keep dancing."
The Exterminators were confused by this seemingly human woman who had already executed two of their warriors.
"Who is she? What is she?" One of them asked its comrades.
"Does it matter? She already killed two of our own!"
"Then she's sealed her fate! KILL HER!"
And with that, a garrison of the angels spread their wings and flew to the Umbrian Witch, who held a smile on her face as she saw them coming in seconds away. None of them were prepared to receive a bullet to their head like the first two she killed, as they didn't even see it coming. Bayonetta had put them all down with style, a bullet for each and everyone of them, and more so than that as her guns fired rapidly and endlessly. She seemed serious about dancing as those who came too close were met were with her amazing, flexible, gorgeous swift movements, receiving blows and kicks to just about everywhere around their person before they were all but in pieces. Angels that were flying overhead, looking to get the witch by surprise were shocked themselves when she came for them, taking to Hell's skies and firing her guns every which way.
"A shame this lot is all too easy." Bayonetta remarks. "A girl does love a good challenge every now and then."
"You want a challenge? You got it!" An Angel screamed as it came in with its spear from behind. But before it could lead its mark, time seemed to slow down around Bayonetta as she moved out of the way before re-engaging the now seemingly slow moving Angel with a barrage of attacks that send it blasting away from her, smashing against a building in the distance.
"How did she did that?!" Another Angel asks before the saw the witch suddenly coming their way and receiving what can be best described as a after burner kick, if the gun blasting in the back of her shoes were any indication to go by.
Bayonetta, despite her magnificent beauty, was as ruthless and dangerous as any cold heart warrior, smacking angels every which way and send them smashing into buildings, posts, signs, anything that was around soon laid in ruins by the Witch's path of destruction. They could tell that she was toying with them as she looked to really be having fun with them, arms and legs wrapped their necks or waists before their pounded into anything that was close by. She smacked angels with the guns in her hands, crushed their heads and necks with her heels, blasting them all in the same time.
And that wasn't even the most horrifying part. When some more angels tried to gang up on her, out came GIANT HANDS AND HEELS from what looked like portals and…hair?! Now that it was mentioned, anyone who was still alive looked to see that her clothing morphed or retreated with some of the more menacing attacks she made, showing more skin with her now looking to be fighting in a leotard!
"What the fuck is this bitch?!" One of them yelled out, now really feeling scared and not wanting to fight anymore.
As there were still some Exorcists looking to try and cut her down, they were met with a giant fist ironically uppercutting them into the air, making them drop their spear in the process. Bayonetta took the opportunity to catch one of those weapons and examine it in her arms. After a quick study, she was really not impressed.
"I've seen better than these little sticks." She said before simply tossing the spear above her head and strutting off. One Angel that was looking to recover, stood back up on its feet…only for its head to be impaled by a falling spear.
"This was not how this was supposed to fucking go!" Another yelled out as it was just getting back on its feet before retreating.
More and more followed suit until one of them who was still standing went on to say "Hey-woah-woah-woah-woah-woah! Where's everybody going?! Where the fuck are you going?! This is supposed to be an extermination!"
"We're not here to get killed ourselves, you fucking idiot!" Another yelled.
"What are you-?!" He didn't a chance to finish as a car of all things was chucked at him, slamming as the last thing that was heard from that poor Angel was a Wilhelm scream.
Bayonetta was just walking over to see the angels flying back up to the portal above them. Crossing her arms with her guns in hand.
"Naughty little angels who apparently use dirty language deserve nothing more than a spanking." She said. "I'll be sure to deliver their punishments next time."
It was safe to say that after years of it happening, this was the fastest Extermination Day to take place, all because a slight interruption that one could have predicted. Those who came out of hiding, demons and sinners alike, were at awe to find the roads littered more with the corpses of angels, and the who was able to put them down was lingering about, examining one of the dead angels, taking its halo and looking at it thoroughly.
"Hmm…not sure Rodin would Iike these." She said before tossing them over her head and hear it clatter on the ground. "Well, now that this has been settled, let's see if I can find a way home."
And with that, Bayonetta makes her debut in a Hell all too different from her own as she traveled deeper into Pentagram City. While she didn't know what it had in store for her, chances are that it was gonna be…a little less than exciting than usual. Soon enough, everyone within the Ring of Pride and beyond would learn a very important lesson…that you don't fuck with a witch.
