Umbran Ponies
Chapter 1
Load Full Story Next ChapterA/N: The story takes place after the storyline from the game. I am giving Bayonetta ALL the weapons, though she will save the more powerful ones for later chapters. I am also giving her the super mirror to change her costume. Also, Wicked Weaves are when the witches (Bayonetta and Jeanne) summon giant arms and legs made of their own magic hair to perform punches and kicks. Torture attacks are when a which summons an execution device, like an iron maiden or a guillotine, and uses it to kill an angel.
Chapter 1
Bayonetta and Jeanne were witches, with Bayonetta wearing glasses and having long, black hair, while Jeanne had short white hair. They were trained in the bullet arts, using their guns as bludgeons while shooting them with magic-infused ammunition. They can use their hair to summon demons to destroy their enemies.
All Bayonetta wanted was to spend the day catching up with Jeanne in Vigrid, a beautiful Italian city built on top of ancient ruins, and those idiot angels just had to come in. She pulled out her set of handguns called Scaroborough Fair, satin red with gold plates, while Jeanne pulled out her handguns named All 4 One, silver with gold. Being witches, they were able to carry four handguns each, two of which they equipped to their feet to fire when they kicked. A gang of Affinity, angels with vulture heads and golden battle axes with spinning heads, flew down, led by an Applaud, a larger version of an Affinity.
Bayonetta began filling the Affinity with holes, casually backing up with one hand on her hip while she let her automatic handgun do the work, while Jeanne performed a Wicked Stomp on the Applaud, followed by a Wicked Punch, sending the angel into the building behind it, causing it to gloriously splatter and paint the wall. Bayonetta casually back-flipped out of the way of one angel who had gotten behind her. She grabbed it's arm, spinning around like she was dancing with the angel, and held her feet out to get some room, firing them as she spun, before shooting the angel in the head and landing with a sexy pose.
Jeanne dodged two angels attacking her at the same time, landing on her hands, and shooting the two angels in the head with her leg guns. She flipped herself back around, and with that dodge, had built up her magic. She summoned the Gillotine underneath an angel who was facing away from her, and literally kicked it's ass, shoving it's head through the hole. Jeanne snapped her fingers, and the blade came down. The angel's head popped off, and the body turned white and exploded. Jeanne picked up it's axe, and shouted to Bayonetta
"Oh, Bayonetta, remember how you always wanted to be a pole dancer?"
Bayonetta smiled as Jeanne threw the weapon to her. She took it, and planted it in the ground. From there, she grabbed the pole and took up a pole dancer's position, spinning around and kicking all the angels in the face. She spun faster and faster, until the angels were knocked away from one final tremendous kick.
As the last angel fell with a neat hole in it's head, Bayonetta heard an all too familiar laugh above her. She looked up, and saw Fortitudo, a two headed dragon with an upside-down human face on the body that did the talking, flying down from the clouds. She smiled, put her hands on her hips, and shouted up.
"I thought I killed you! Couldn't stay away, I see!" She ran her hands down her D'Arc suit, from Jeanne's favorite fashion line. It was black, full body, form-fitting, with a fur collar.
Fortitudo laughed and responded "When you resurrected Jubelius, the Creator, I was reborn as well. Now, I must rid you from this Earth!"
Bayonetta laughed and said "Oh, and where will I go? You know I'm strong enough to break out of Hell."
Fortitudo dipped his head and said "It is true neither Paradiso nor Inferno can contain you. However, I didn't say you were headed there, did I?"
At this, Bayonetta and Jeanne took up combat stances.
Bayonetta shouted "And where do you think you're sending me?
" Fortitudo ripped open a vortex, a golden rimmed portal surrounded with magic runes, that began sucking Bayonetta in. "Anywhere but here!" he announced.
Jeanne had rooted herself down to the ground using Madame Styx, the demon that performed Jeanne's Wicked Weaves, but she couldn't grab Bayonetta in time, and she flew into the vortex, and Fortitudo closed it.
"BAYONETTA!" Jeanne shouted in fear for her friend.
Bayonetta slowly regained consciousness and found herself next to a lake, in the middle of a field of rolling hills. She could see a town in the distance, and decided to walk towards it. After a few minutes of walking, she heard voices coming up over the ridge behind her and pressed herself behind a tree. After a minute of watching the path, she saw two shapes come up over the ridge, and was shocked to see a unicorn and a baby dragon pulling a wagon fullwalk along the path. She listened in on their conversation. The unicorn was speaking in a similar accent to her own.
"Spike, dear, thank you so much for helping me collect these gems!"
The baby dragon who's name was apparently Spike blushed and said "Aw, shucks, Rarity, you know I'd help you with anything."
'He obviously has a crush on her.' Bayonetta thought. Figuring they are from the town in the distance, she followed at a safe distance. She mulled over this new place where Fortitudo had sent her. 'A world full of talking, colorful ponies. And dragons. Where the Hell did that bastard send me?'
As Rarity and Spike were walking, Rarity heard footsteps, almost inaudiable to the untrained ear. She turned around, and saw what appeared to be a monkey with no fur, standing on two legs, wearing glasses and very long hair out of its head. It was also dressed in the most exquisite and lovely bodysuit Rarity had ever seen. It's head was down, signifying it was deep in thought. Spike saw that Rarity had stopped, and turned to see what she was looking at.
He raised an eyebrow and pointed a claw. "What is that?"
Rarity responded excitedly "I don't know, but I must find out about that suit it's wearing! It's absolutely fabulous!" She started running toward the strange creature.
Bayonetta heard the clopping of hooves and looked up. The unicorn was running up to Bayonetta, and quickly thinking, back flipped away from the mare and pulled out her pistols. The unicorn stopped and didn't seem to know what was being pointed at her face.
"Darling, that suit is simply marvelous! I must know where you got it!"
Bayonetta thought 'I can't help it if I like the little outfits.'
Bayonetta sheathed her pistols and said "It's from the D'Arc collection, my friend Jeanne's favorite."
"Would you like to come with me to my boutique? I would be honored if you would let me get the style of that suit down so I can make it!"
Bayonetta pulled out a red lollipop, and said "Might as well, I literally just got here a few minutes ago, and that few minutes is a record time for me to go in a day without having to kill some idiot from Paradiso who thinks he can take me on."
Rarity's eyes seemed to bludge out of her head. "Kill? Who ARE you to even think of such a horrible idea?!"
Bayonetta smiled and crunched her lollipop. "My name is Bayonetta. I heard yours was Rarity?"
Rarity seemed to calm herself some and said "Yes, that's right. Please, never mention such a horrible thing like that again!" She stated, before turning back with Bayonetta following her. Spike was silent when the two girls came back to the cart.
Rarity said "Spike, this is Bayonetta. Please be nice to her."
The three started walking, and Spike whispered to Bayonetta "If you do anything to hurt Rarity, I swear-"
Bayonetta laughed "Silly little child. You couldn't stop me if you tried." Spike turned back, and the rest of the walk back to Ponyville was silent except for the sound of footsteps.
It was sunset when the three reached Ponyville, and Spike dropped of the wagon and headed back to the library. When Rarity turned on the lights and looked back at Bayonetta, she noticed that Bayonetta's shadow had butterfly wings. Rarity spoke
"Excuse me dear, but your shadow seems..." Bayonetta walked over to a chair and sat down.
"Ah yes, the shadow. A little touch from Madame Butterfly."
Rarity said "Who's that?"
The witch smiled and crossed her legs. "She is the demon I made a pact with to gain the power I have now."
Rarity appeared shocked and scared, which Bayonetta picked up on. "Honestly, dear, at this rate, you're going to find every bit of me appalling."
Rarity shook her head to clear it. "As long as you won't hurt anypony, I think I'll be okay." Bayonetta smiled. At least she had made a friend in this strange world.
It was then she heard someone coming down the stairs. The door opened and revealed a filly unicorn with a pink-grey mane and tail.
"Hey, big sis! I heard you talking with somepony, I wanna meet her! Where is she?"
Bayonetta called from her seat "Right here, love." The filly turned and saw Bayonetta.
She ran up and started speaking. "Hi, I'm Sweetie Belle! What's your name?"
"I'm Bayonetta dear. I take it Rarity is your sister?"
Sweetie Belle swelled with pride. "Yep, she is! She's the best, and always looks out for me and loves me!"
Bayonetta smiled and laid her finger on Sweetie Belle's head. "You, dear, remind me of a little girl I knew."
Rarity spoke "Well, Bayonetta, I assume you would like to use the guest bed?"
The witch stood up and said "That would be marvelous, darling." The three of them went upstairs to the respective bedrooms.
"We'll look at the suit tomorrow." Rarity assured. Bayonetta climbed under the covers, counting herself lucky she wasn't sleeping outside. She planned to go into town tomorrow, see if she can't knock some boys dead with a little effort. She planned to do it metaphorically, but she wouldn't mind being literal with it, if one boy got a tad nosey for her liking.
