Bayonetta a journey with Death

Disclaimer: I do not own Bayonetta or Darksiders they belong to their respected owners.

Prologue:

Jubileus the Goddess of light, Queen Sheba the Goddess of Darkness, and Aesir the God of chaos three beings of balance, the Goddess Jubileus was the first to die by the hands of the summoned Sheba. The second deity to fall was Aesir and he was defeated by the combined deity of light and Darkness known as Omne but now without two of the three deities Darkness became the ultimate power.

But that has yet to pass as the three are not yet the Charred council the reincarnated deities but now with the control over the universe as the overseers of the balance between the once known Paradiso now called Heaven. Inferno now reformed into a world of more sinister Demons led by Lucifer the descendant of Queen Sheba who had been reincarnated as one of the three members of the Charred council.

But what of the Umbran witch that brought this? What became of Cereza known commonly as Bayonetta? This is the tale of how she comes to under stand one whose more like her than she thought. He has many names,Kin slayer, executioner... Death.

One month before Sheba's darkness consumes the universe

Cereza mostly known as Bayonetta sat in Rodin's bar with a lolipop in hand as he began to hear whispers of an old man, Rodin noticed Bayonetta was starring at her lolipop and asked "Yo Bayonetta you alright? Listen I don't need a costumer whose starin into space"

Bayonetta then ignored the whispers and said "I'm fine Rodin never thought you cared for little ol' me."

Rodin huffed as the door opened seeing Jeanne with her long white hair an skin tight red suit and said "Well I should be..."

But as Rodin was leaving a crow with blue painted feathers flew in and perched on Rodin's counter and had glowing green eyes catching everyones' attention as the crow had scratched the counter drawing a symbol. Bayonetta then saw the symbol and asked "Rodin I thought there was a rule for no pets allowed?"

Rodin froze at the sight and thought "Now? I'd thought I would have more time old man!"

Rodin sighed and said "Ladies I take my leave."

The two were confused on Rodin's behavior as he stated one last thing "Oh and some words of advice for you two... the Crowfather is not right in the head as of now."

Rodin left the two Umbran witches as the crow cawed and made the symbol glow green showing a spiritual vision of an old man with a robe made of crow feathers. Bayonetta was impressed with the light shows as Jeanne kept her hands on her hand guns prepared for any tricks as the vision said "I am what sanity remained of the bing known as the Crowfather, and I have had Bright eyes here to bring you both to me I have a job for you which will involve killing Angels and demons."

Bayonetta then asked "And what kind of a job is it old man?"

Crowfather then explained "In one month from now your universe will tear itself apart due to no deity of light and chaos I come from the universe that has been reshaped by this one and you two will die with this universe, unless you choose to take up my offer of a job. But let me state that the two of you will be separated for a time until your job is over."

Bayonetta then looked at Jeanne and Jeanne looked at her and both said in unison "Fine we'll go if you can pay for the expenses."

Crowfather chuckled and said "I know of two who can..."

In the Dark fortress (Home of Crowfather)

A man with raven black hair in gothic style armor that made his gauntlets look like skeleton hands, his boots had skulls on his knee caps, the armor had purple cloth that went towards his ankles and a purple shroud covering his top half of his body. The man had a mask that resembled a skull with no teeth and had glowing red eyes that made anyone tremble in fear.

The man was climbing towards the top of the fortress to meet an old friend of his as a Crow perched on his shoulder and cawed while the man asked "The old fool is not alone Dust?"

Dust cawed and flew off as the man hurried to find his old friend, while at the top a portal had opened as Bayonetta walked through but saw Jeanne was not withe her and shouted "JEANNE?! JEANNE WHERE ARE YOU?!"

Then a sinister laughter was heard and Bayonetta turned to see the Crowfather with his left hand holding onto his head as if he was in pain and questioned "Where is Jeanne old man?!"

Crowfather then whispered "Voices... Torment without end... they call for vengeance of their killer."

Bayonetta pulled out her gun at Crowfather and said "I hope you can explained to me why my friend isn't with me."

Then a crow flew by and landed on Crowfather's throne as Bayonetta heard foot steps and turned to see the man who wore a skull mask with no teeth, Crowfather then pointed at the man and warned "You shouldn't have come here... horsemen!"

The man saw Bayonetta and widened his eyes and thought "A human survived?!"

The man then stated "Keeper of secrets I need your help."

Bayonetta then looked at Crowfather and thought "Keeper of secrets?"

Crowfather stood out of his throne and said "I know why you've come! Your brother the one called War he has been imprisoned by the Charred council way should I care for your brother's fate?!"

Bayonetta then asked "What are you two talking about?"

Death then asked "Why is this human here Crowfather I had thought them all killed off during the premature apocalypse?"

Crowfather then stated "She's here to do what she must to save her Umbran sister! Isn't that right Cereza?"

Bayonetta pulled out her guns and threatened "You did something tell me where is Jeanne?! Or I will put a bullet through that head of yours!"

The man then warned "I wouldn't do that if I were you human I need him to tell me where I can find a way to restore your people!"

Bayonetta then asked "What is going on?! I was told that I was here for a job by the old man here and I'm not seeing a job!"

Crowfather then asked "So Death... you have come to find a way to resurrect humanity to save your brother, and you Cereza were brought by me when I was still sane and now you have lost the only person that is like a sister to you."

Bayonetta then looked at Death and thought "Death has a form? And has a brother named War? that's new."

Death then looked at Cereza and thought "I have no time for this!"

Death then asked "Yes I come to save my brother now who would be better to show me the way?"

Crowfather then opened a portal to a giant tree and said "Should a way exist... you shall find it here."

Death widened his eyes as he said softly "The tree of life..."

But as Death walked towards the portal Crowfather closed it and Death demanded "Let me pass!"

But Crowfather said "Not yet... that what you gave me... you shall take it back!"

Death squinted his eyes and pointed at the old one before stating "In exchange for it's secrets you agreed to keep the amulet!"

Bayonetta then looked at the amulet that glowed green and wondered why an amulet was a big deal as Crowfather knocked on his head and said "No... the voices they cry to return! YOU MUST DESTROY IT!"

Death then dropped his head and said "I... cannot."

Crowfather pursued with the question and asked "You annihilated their flesh, why do you guard their souls?"

Death ignored the question and pulled out his weapons a pair of twin scythes and demanded "Open the portal."

Bayonetta then thought "Oh my he's daring... but I must use the portal to find Jeanne and find a way back home for al this mess."

Crowfather then dropped the amulet and said "You will not pass as I live."

Death walked slowly towards Crowfather but he used magic to throw Bayonetta at Death, Death fell on his back as Bayonetta landed ass first on Death's head Bayonetta then warned Death "If you touch I will shoot your fingers off!"

Death laid still as Bayonetta stood off and said "You'll be allowed to live as long as you don't do that again human!"

Then Crowfather said "Here your brethren are trapped in eternal torment do you wish to join them? And what of War Jeanne? Would you kill the ones you love to have peace?"

Death then shouted "WAR IS INNOCENT!"

Bayonetta then concluded "JEANNE WILL NEVER KILL JEANNE FOR PEACE!"

Then Crowfather asked "Are you two so certain?"

Then Crowfather vanished into crows as two figures walked from the hall behind Bayonetta and Death saw his brother War and Bayonetta saw her Umbran sister Jeanne and took stances preparing for a fight. Death charged at War and jumped over as War swung his sword at him, while Bayonetta pointed her guns at Jeanne and said "Jeanne snap out of it!"

But Jeanne swung a kick but Bayonetta blocked it with a kick of her own and saw Jeanne's eyes they were glowing red and Bayonetta caught onto this and said "Your not Jeanne!"

Death was clashing with War's sword with the scythes he clapped together to make a giant scythe and slahed an upper cut on War twice and forced him in the air as Death jumped at him with his scythe in hand hitting War further into the air. Bayonetta swung her pistol at the Jeanne wannabe but she dogded it and the two clashed their guns as Bayonetta fell back and shot the fake Jeanne with the guns clapped to her heels.

The fake Jeanne had bullet hole in her arms and was unable to use them but War fell on top of her killing her but as she died the body turned into a flock of Crows as Bayonetta shot one and made them scatter and shouted "FLOCK OFF!"

War charged at Death though Death jumped over him with a few flips and cut War's shoulder swung his giant scythe at War but War used his prosthetic hand to grabbed the scythe and swing his blade at Death. Missing Death by an inch War grabbed him and threw him at Bayonetta but she dodged as she shot War with her guns but Death charged past her as the scene slowed showing Bayonetta licking her lips at Death as he and War clashed.

Death had stabbed War's chest and gave a final twist making War groan in pain and fall back turning into the Crowfather that tried to crawl to escape but his hand was shot by Bayonetta as Death stabbed his scythe into his back and placed it into the ground. Death walked in front of Crowfather and grabbed his face before demanding "Open the portal!"

Death removed Crowfather from his scythe as the amulet fell out and said "Your secrets die with you... old fool."

Crowfather then said his last words "My secrets... but not yours."

The amulet cracked and shattered as it flew into Death's right side of his chest and made him yell in pain as Bayonetta ran to Death but Dust hit her head with a swoop knocking her out as Crowfather's body turned into a portal of crows that carried the two into it.
