*****
Kalina sliced through a large scythe wielding demon known as Hideous clean in two, the human sized demon with red and blue skin with leathery membranous wings and large curved scythe's that could cut normal human flesh like butter.
The crimson haired demon hunter found that in her Armor of the Twilight Goddess it was extremely easy to handle most demonic threats that came in the way of her and Zero. With her increased magical powers from the Armor and the fact that her sword could kill basically almost any demon without much effort meant things didn't normally drag on like they normally do.
As Zero leaped out of the way of a scythe that was extremely close to her skin she swiftly punched the air, summoning a large hand to take out a small brigade of Hideous. The pack of flying demons flew towards Kalina and Zero in a swarm as they closed in with their scythes at the ready.
"Kalina now!", Zero shouted as she leaped out of the way at great heights across the field. Kalina merely winked at the demons before sliding her foot around her in a complete circle, a large glyph of magic fully forming before Kalina quickly sank below, "adios", she said in a song song voice as she completely disappeared from sight.
The Hideous looked around clueless as to where the demon hunter was hiding only for a portal to open above their heads a few seconds later and down came Kalina with a large spectral sword that sliced clean through all of them, quickly butchering them and reducing them to bloody chunks.
The white haired Demi-God took out her guns Diamond Dust and charged them with electric magical energy and executed several backflips and cartwheels to dodge attacks before pulling the trigger and blasting them away with a barrage of magically enhanced bullets. "Huh, too easy", Zero spoke with a grin.
"I'll have to agree with you on that one Zero", Kalina added as she walked towards her friend. "I think it's time we aim for something a bit more....high class", the both of them saying the last part in unison.
Bayonetta truly brings people together.
The two demon hunters had to halt their revelry in video games as two large behemoth like demons with the body of a gorilla and the head of a lion had crawled up from the depths of Inferno, the two demonic creatures roaring in fury as they stalked slowly towards Zero and Kalina.
The two looked at each other and shared a knowing look. "Looks like are prayers have been answered, for once", Zero said adding in that last part. The white haired Demi-God quickly aimed Diamond Dust at the behemoth on the left whilst Kalina whipped out Crimson Blitz.

The behemoths roared as they charged towards Zero and Kalina. The duo of demon hunters jumped high into the air eclipsing the moon as they both kicked the air and two large heels were summoned, one wreathed in white and the other draped in crimson red.
The behemoths were launched back as Zero and Kalina quickly charged simultaneously weaving in and out of each other in zig zag like patterns as they continuously fired their respective guns and gained a footing against the demons.
Kalina took out her sword Redemption and made multiple slashes at the behemoths face before executing a backflip in the air whilst kicking the behemoths jaw and firing several bullets down it's throat.
The crimson haired demon hunter landed safely on her feet as she peered over at Zero who appeared to be having a ball. The white haired Demi-God was firing bullet after bullet whilst delivering fast paced kicks and punches bathed in a sky blue aura mixed with electricity.
Pulling back her arm and building up her strength Zero punched the air which summoned a powerful Wicked Weave that sucker punched the poor behemoth to the point of collapsing in a attempt to regain his strength.
Kalina smiled mischievously as she looked to her behemoth as it's claws came in towards her. Kalina narrowly dodged the attack as the behemoths claws ripped up the ground, with large chunks of the concrete flying through the air in a chaotic mess. The crimson haired girl known as Kalina looked up to the falling chunks of concrete and her eyes suddenly flashed violet.
The world was covered in a slight purple haze as everything around them became so slow to the point of time being frozen. Kalina and Zero then jumped from platform to platform not bothered that they were shifting the trajectory of some of them.
As the two now met in the air they began unleashing whirlwinds of attacks on each other, firing bullet after bullet using sweeping attacks and weaving combos of roundhouse kicks and thrusts. While the two were having their showdown the bullets they fired were now frozen around them in mid fight, the two demon hunters seemed more like fighting swans ever graceful.
Zero and Kalina both unleashed roundhouse kicks before aiming their guns at each other, the barrels of their two guns connecting. They shared a smile between them before pulling the triggers, the force of the bullets pushing them back with astonishing force.
Once the two gracefully landed backwards the time field around them returned to normal and now bullets were flying chaotically everywhere, but every single one of them were ripping through the skin of the behemoths as if they were ribbons, that on top of the concrete platforms that were thrown at them from their tampered trajectory.
Once the maelstrom finally seized the behemoths vanished in smoldering ash and flames.
Zero and Kalina looked at each other taking in the damage they caused. "Think we went too overboard?", Kalina asked. Zero looked to the sky as if thinking about it before she shook her head, "nah, if anything we didn't do enough."
Kalina took out a strawberry lollipop whilst handing another to Zero who gratefully accepted. Before the two could move another portal opened up except it was much different then the ones before, while all of the portals demon's come through is crimson red this portal was a shimmering black.
"The Chaos", Kalina heard Zero whisper as two large flying dragon creatures rose with their large bat like wings, a strange dark mist surrounding their bodies. Kalina sized up the two as they were swiftly approaching on their fast beating wings. "I'll take one, you take the other", Zero whispered as she reached into her pocket dimension and pulled out Diamond Dust once more.
Kalina's grip on Redemption tightened as the two nodded and the two Dragons roared before they each took off in different directions. "Take care love", Zero cheered before leaping off in the distance after one of the dragons while Kalina quickly chased after another.
Thank god that the demon's barrier was that of an old decrepit city, Zero and Kalina could now fully let loose their powers without having to fear endangering any innocent bystanders. Kalina began to leap from house to house firing blasts of magical energy at the dragon and it weaved through the buildings expertly.
Damn, this is taking longer than I thought it would, it's time to get serious, Kalina gritted her teeth as Redemption was bathed in a magical violet glow with a great arc like swing of her sword a wave of magic flew towards the dragon and cut clean through it's wing, blood splattering to the ground.
The dragon roared in pain as it barreled into the ground, kicking up massive chunks of earth. Kalina smiled as she finally leaped to the ground in a single stride, the girl now a mere few feet away from her target, but just as she took a few steps forward and then the dragon screeched at the top of it's lungs.
At first Kalina didn't know what the hell it was trying to do, but the multiple red eyes and swirling forms of mist gave her a pretty good clue. More of those dog like demons had returned, this time more apparent muscle tone and bulk was on them, as well as their teeth seemingly somewhat sharper.
This was all a set up for an ambush, Kalina though as she noticed she was completely surrounded. She had to give these demons props in theory this would have been a very good plan. But as Kalina has stated, in theory.
As the demons began to swarm Kalina she quickly deflected their attacks and sliced through their bodies as if they were paper. The demon hunter continuously fought foe after foe until three large dog demons brought their huge claws down on Kalina which she blocked with the blunt side of her sword, but the weight of them was gathering and Kalina was beginning to struggle.
Automatically Kalina's body began to glow in a violet like aura before the energy erupted and pushed back the demon dogs. Kalina now ran towards her staggered enemies, the red haired demon hunter running so fast she was nothing more than a blur of petals.
Three by three the demon dogs got slew to the point where only a few remained. An easy victory, Kalina smirked. But the last remaining demon dogs melded themselves together much like how they did back in the abandoned house, this time growing three times the size of before.
As Kalina sped in to take one of them out the giant beast swung it's claws with such power and such swiftness that Kalina could only bring her sword up to block it as the powerful attack knocked her across the field causing her to tumble and fall.
Pain flared through her body and Kalina struggled to even reach out to Redemption which was a few feet away, and she was too weak to portal in Crimson Blitz.
The demons then on the prowl drew in closer, their large maws dripping with saliva in anticipation of the meat. But they were also smiling, smiling like a cat that was about to eat a canary.
The mutated dog demons leaped into the air ready to pounce and rip Kalina to shreds, only for all of them to be knocked away with several deep gashes and bruises now apparent all over their body.
Kalina looked up to see just what was it that saved her and was shocked to see what it was. A ribbon!?, she gasped in utter confusion. "Such barbarians to treat a lady in such a manner, that alone warrants justice."
The voice belonged to a figure that just dropped in front of Kalina as if she was some sort of hero.
She had long pink hair that reached a little below her shoulder and she wore a white blouse with puffs for at her shoulders and frills at the end of her sleeves. She wore a burgundy vest over it and had a pretty white bow tied around her waist which blended in well with her white ruffled skirt.
The demons howled in defiance at the new combatant whilst she merely flipped her her and rested her hand on her hip as if they weren't even a challenge.
The demons charged towards Kalina and the pink haired mystery girl who had a faint smile on her lips as she was then bathed in a powerful brilliant light.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
The pink haired girl then began to transform into a new suit, her blouse and vest now transforming into a white sailor top with a bright pink ribbon around her neck followed by a short skirt resembling the petals of a rose.
She wore white and pink high heeled boots and black fingerless gloves, and atop her head was a black and gold beret with a pink lily attached.
She summoned ribbons from seemingly nowhere and all of them transformed into muskets which now rested on the ground. As the demons charged forward she quickly kicked up one of them and took hold as she fired a single bullet right into it's eye.
She then fired another shot from there before discarding the gun and picking up to more, twirling around like a ballerina at a recital then a magical woman at war with demons. As she twirled and fired her weapons she kept a calm sunshine like smile before charging forward and twirling to avoid the snapping jaws of the mutated demon dog.
She then reached to her heart and pulled out another gun and fired clear through it's throat before turning around and executing a backflip to avoid the side arc like sweeping claws from a demon. Whilst in mid flip she summoned two more muskets and blew the demon apart before landing gracefully on one foot and striking a pose.
And that's when Kalina discovered she had her eyes covered the whole time.
The pink haired magical girl opened her eyes and flashed Kalina a heartfelt smile before spreading her arms out wide and more ribbons and muskets appeared. She then tossed all the guns in the air, and one by one as they fell she fired a single bullet from each of them whilst spinning around and taking shots at the demon dogs from all angles.
As the last of the guns disappeared the girl then turned to the dragon that had now recovered from it's missing wing. The dragon roared as it lashed out with it's tale, the girl effortlessly dodging and twirling to avoid his attacks like a graceful swan gliding and dancing across the water before the dragon roared and fury and charged towards the girl.
Kalina wanted to shout aloud to tell her to watch out, but just as the dragons was close to devouring her the magical girl leaped into the air performing several front flips before landing behind the dragon and turning around, conjuring a powerful ball of light in her hand.
Her white ribbons wrapped around the ball of light and transformed it into a large red cannon with golden runes and crests in a different language. As the demon dragon turned around it's eyes widened as the girl smiled and cried out the name of her attack.
"Scarlet Aria!"
A powerful beam of red and pink light shot out of the cannon and ripped through the demon dragons form into bloody chunks before the cannon and the ribbons disappeared in a shimmer of light.
The girl with pink hair then turned to Kalina and bowed as if she had just given a performance to an audience.
"une autre victoire bien méritée", she said quietly to herself as she transformed out of her magical girl clothes and back into her original outfit Kalina had saw her in.
As the girl walked towards Kalina the world around them faded and shattered, letting Kalina know that Zero had defeated the other dragon. The pink haired girl outstretched her hand for Kalina to grab and gave her that same innocent smile.
Kalina was hesitant at first but she accepted the hand to help her up as she transformed back into her civilian clothes as well. "Who are you?", Kalina asked, she was originally gonna just call the girl Mami Tomoe but she at least wanted to know this girl's real name.
The pink haired girl smiled, her sapphire eyes seemed to sparkle in the sunlight of the real world.
"My name is Gretchen. Gretchen Beauchamp, but you can just call me Greta, and I...am a magical girl."
A/N: well you guys probably didn't expect that so I hope you enjoyed the little surprises and references I snuck in there. The first song I used is from the first Bayonetta game and is called Red and Black. I know black isn't Zero's color but for those who've played or watch Bayonetta probably know why I picked that song. Plus some of the songs lyrics allude to the plot a little.
The second song was called Credens Justitiam which is from Madoka Magica and is the theme song for my favorite character and in my opinion best magical girl, Mami Tomoe. I chose that song because one I love Mami, two it fit the fight scene and Greta's fighting style, and because Mami was inspiration for Greta so yeah.
This double update was for Zero's birthday so happy birthday girl!!!!! Expect another update either in a few days or next week.
