Corrin was in his room crying on his bed. He wasn't thinking straight when he made the challenge to defeat Bayonetta. He didn't know any other way to convince his siblings. Corrin thought he made a terrible mistake. He couldn't beat Bayonetta. She was way too strong for him. He gave up any hope of staying at the mansion. Cloud slowly opens the door and sees Corrin crying on his bed.

"Hey Corrin, is everything alright? It's time for you to head to the battlefield." Cloud said.

"C-Cloud. I-I can't go out there! Cere is going to beat me. Then I won't be able to stay here with you and everyone else!"

"Corrin, calm down, or you'll-"

"What have I done? It was stupid of me to think that I could beat Cere!" I should just give up and go home." Corrin's sobbing got progressively louder to the point Cloud felt like he would need to cover his ears.

Cloud felt bad for the Nohrian Prince. He walked up to Corrin and sat next to him on his bed. "No. You shouldn't do that. Listen Corrin, I know how great of a fighter you really are. You've managed to come close with some of the top fighters here. Bayonetta has told me that you were the only one to go even with her. That's pretty impressive. That should be enough to tell you that you have the ability to do it." Cloud cleared his voice realizing that Corrin was only now paying attention to him. Perhaps he needed to raise his voice to get his point across. "You shouldn't give up now! You should let your ambition of wanting to stay here encourage you to win! I believe you can Corrin."

Corrin wiped his eyes. "R-Really Cloud?"

"Yes I do. I know I...struggle with trying to comfort anybody. I think now would be the best time to try and get over that. You and I have been good friends since we first came here to the mansion. You have a really kind heart Corrin. In the world we live in today, it's hard to say that about a person. So come on, now it's not the time to cry. You want to stay here with me and Bayonetta? You have to fight for it."

Corrin sits up and hugs Cloud. The ex-SOLDIER thought his bones were going to break seeing as how Corrin failed to realize how strong he was. "Cloud…thank you so much. You're such an amazing friend. Your support really helps!"

Cloud chuckled nervously as he forced Corrin to stop hugging him. The last thing he wanted was to die from a half-Manakete hugging him and not realizing his own strength. "Are you ready to go out there?"

"Yeah. I'm ready."

"Alright then. Let's go. You got a battle to win."

Cloud and Corrin heads out of the room and walks to the battlefield.

Bayonetta was waiting for Corrin to enter the battlefield. Bayonetta looked up at the audience to see every Smasher was there ready to watch the battle. Bayonetta sees Corrin siblings who were also ready to watch the battle, especially at her. Bayonetta sighed to herself. Azura comes up behind Bayonetta.

"You seemed trouble Bayonetta. Are you nervous?" Azura asked.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be up there watching with your siblings?"

"I came here to make sure of something. I know my family is troubling you. We just want what's best for Corrin. Are you prepared to fight Corrin?"

"Yes. I am."

"I must ask before you go. How do you feel about Corrin? The question was probably much harder to answer when the other siblings were around. Now that we're alone, maybe you can be a little more honest."

Bayonetta glared at the songstress as a response. Why did she need to put her on the spot now before the fight? Did she want her to mess up in combat and then get humiliated out there? There was no way she would admit it that easily…would she?

"Do you really want to know what I think?" Bayonetta asked in a threatening tone. "Are you prepared to hear what I have to say?"

"It will be something positive." Azura reassured her. "I won't judge you either way."

Azura did not seem to care how Bayonetta was in denial of her own feelings, but out of all the siblings, she seemed the most reasonable…

Bayonetta sighed in defeat as she finally confessed. "Okay, I admit that I do have some strong feelings for Corrin. Ever since our first in encounter, he's been nothing but kind to me. Corrin was the only one who defended me when everyone else hated me. He's a really good person. I care for Corrin deeply."

Azura smiled getting part of the response she wanted. Bayonetta was still being prideful. She wasn't an emotional person…at least on the surface. Having Bayonetta admit that she fell for Corrin's kindness just made Azura's heart feel at ease. "I see. You're not the cruel person that Camila made you out to be. You do have a heart. I know this much be hard for you as it is for Corrin. You'll be fighting at your full potential I presume?"

"Always. There's no love on the battlefield."

"I understand. I wish you two the best of luck. We will be watching." Azura walks away from Bayonetta to go watch with her siblings.

Corrin and Bayonetta both entered into the battlefield. There was a feeling of intensity around the arena.

"You think Corrin is capable of fighting someone as strong as Bayonetta?" Xander asked Ryoma.

"I have my doubts, but we shall see."

3! 2! 1! GO!

Corrin charges up a Dragon Fang Shot and shoots it at Bayonetta. Bayonetta jumps over the blast and dive kicks at Corrin. Corrin dodges it and swings his sword down by Bayonetta's feet sending her upwards when one would think that he was trying to trip her. Corrin starts juggling Bayonetta with sword swings eventually causing Bayonetta to activate Bats Within to get her way out of Yato's range.

Bayonetta hits Corrin with a three kick combo sending him in the air and hits him one aerial kick. Bayonetta tries to hit Corrin with Witch Twist, but he quickly gets out of the attack and lands on the ground. Bayonetta hits Corrin with a dive kick sending him at a very far angle.

Bayonetta shoots Corrin with her guns juggling him in the air. Bayonetta dashes at Corrin to punch him, but Corrin quickly activates Counter Surge and sends Bayonetta flying. As Bayonetta fell back down to the ground, she ended up making a simple mistake of air dodging into the ground and ended up being hit by a Dragon Fang Shot that stunned her in place. Corrin quickly runs towards Bayonetta and jump slashes her sending her into the air. Corrin kept juggling Bayonetta into the air and then used Dragon Ascent to take Bayonetta's first stock in a rather stylish manner.

"DRAGON UP!" Pit could be heard shouting the ground resulting in Robin and Dark Pit facepalming at his stupid comment.

Bayonetta respawned back before Corrin can land on the ground. Bayonetta grabs Corrin and slaps him across the face multiple times. Bayonetta kicks Corrin up in the air and juggles him with aerial kicks. Bayonetta fully connects Witch Twist, but the attack sent Corrin too far for her After Burner Kick to connect afterwards. The two fell back to the ground.

Bayonetta attempts to Heel Slide Kick the Nohrian prince, but Corrin perfect shields the attack and grabs Bayonetta as a response. Corrin threw Bayonetta forward and stabs her with his lance. The dragon prince attempts to pursue his opponent, but Bayonetta hits him with a surprise sweep kick and punches Corrin while he was in the air. Bayonetta uses Madama Butterfly's fist to try and hit Corrin, but the silver haired prince quickly rolled away and only took damage from the bullets that the Umbra Witch shot after the attack.

Corrin pins Bayonetta down with Dragon Lunge and kicks the Umbra Witch away. Corrin then does a horizontal sword swing at Bayonetta. Bayonetta threw out a flurry of punches, but Corrin blocked them all. His shield was looking rather small after that, and if he messed up, he probably would have had his shield broken. It was better to take the chip damage after the Umbra Witch finished the long string of jabs than to be hit by a potential KO option.

Corrin hit Bayonetta with a three sword slash combo sending her forward. Corrin came running towards Bayonetta, Bayonetta throws out a Witch Time to try and catch Corrin. Corrin waits it out leaving Bayonetta wide open for a huge punish. Corrin jumps up and hits Bayonetta with a jump slash sending upwards. Corrin jumps into the air and traps Bayonetta with a Dragon Fang Shot again and then finishes it up with a bite. Bayonetta lost her second stock surprisingly early by the strange kill set up and the match was over.

Everyone was in shock. They didn't expect Corrin to have such a commanding victory over Bayonetta. Everyone in the audience stood up and cheered for Corrin. Corrin looked around the arena. He couldn't believe that he actually defeated Bayonetta. He was surprised with his own talent at that very moment.

"I...I won? I win!" Corrin smiled widely and raises his fist in the air. He was able to stay here in the Smash Mansion for good.

All the siblings looked on as their brother celebrated. They were all surprised at Corrin's skilled, but they were impressed. Ryoma was the only one who felt uneasy about Corrin's win.

"What's the matter Ryoma?" Xander asked.

"This all seems too fishy. The witch was said to be the strongest fighter in the world, yet she lost dominantly to our brother. Seems like a fluke."

"Come now Ryoma. Corrin won his battle fair and square. So we must keep our promise and allow him to stay here."

Ryoma sighed. "You're right Xander. Corrin did win. I'm proud of his showing."

As Bayonetta got up from the floor, she looked on as Corrin jumped happily that he won his match. Usually Bayonetta would get upset when people beat her, but not in this case. Bayonetta smiled at the Nohrian Prince. At least he would be able to stay unless anyone accused her of sandbagging.

Night time had fallen. Corrin was outside of the mansion with his siblings who were preparing to leave.

"Well Corrin… a deal is a deal. You've defeated Bayonetta. So, you will be staying here and continue to participate in these tournaments. We are very proud of your skills brother." Xander smiled.

"Thanks Xander. It really means a lot. I'm going to miss you all. I promise to keep making you all proud." Corrin smiled back. In the back of his mind, he was glad they were leaving because it meant he could go back to doing what he usually did without fear of being told that if he didn't perform well he could leave.

"That's good to hear. Farewell Corrin." Ryoma said.

All the siblings walked through the portal back to their own world. Once they were clearly gone, Bayonetta decided to sneak up on Corrin and congratulate him.

"Congratulations Corrin." She said casually causing him to jump at her voice.

Corrin turned to Bayonetta. His cheeks were obviously flustered when his red eyes stared into her gray ones. "O-Oh...t-thank you…Cere. Y-You're not mad that I won?"

"How could I? You beat me convincingly, and you get to stay here. That's something to be happy about."

There was a lot of truth in that. Of course she had a little bit of salt, but she could swallow her pride if it meant the dragon prince could stay. There was always another time she could defeat him in combat, but he needed to be able to stay in the mansion for that to happen.

"Y-Yeah…Cere, do you think I can ask you something? You think we can go to the lake for privacy?"

"Sure, Corrin."

Bayonetta and Corrin traveled to the woods to go at lake where they originally made up after their nasty fight.

The moon was shining bright on the lake. There were fireflies flying around the area. The sounds of nature echoed through the night. It was just Bayonetta and Corrin alone together.

"What did you want to talk about?" Bayonetta asked.

Corrin fidgeted a little. He was wondering if he had the right to ask. Bayonetta seemed to be in good spirits and asking this question might ruin her mood. Corrin wanted answers though to something that had been bugging him during the battle they had.

"It's about our battle. You were fighting a little differently than usual. Your dive kicks were sending me too far and you couldn't hit me with your flying kicks. You never went for Witch Twist a lot, and when you did I easily got out of hit. You were trying to go for grabs mostly. Was everything okay, Cere?"

The Umbra Witch sighed. She could play this off like it was her off day, or she could tell the truth. It was hard to hide these sorts of things from the dragon prince though, so she decided to give him the truth.

"I guess you can say I had a "personal meeting" with Master Hand. There had to be a few changes involving me, so some of my powers had to be limited."

That's not what Corrin wanted to hear. Bayonetta rolled her eyes catching the look he was giving her. What else was she supposed to say? The conversation she had with Master Hand came out of nowhere shortly after she saved Corrin from the Underworld. The timing was rather convenient, but perhaps she went too far with her powers and Master Hand caught whim of it. Combine that with all the Smashers complaining about her, and she would be forced to comply. It was still lame how a bunch of whiners had to put her on their level to make things "more fair". As long as this nerf didn't affect her outside of Smash, she could tolerate it.

"What?! Well that's not fair! I thought you were going to be at your strongest! I didn't know your powers had to be nerfed!"

"It's not really a big deal. If you complain enough, Master Hand will have to change things. As long as you're here then…"

"Aww man! It doesn't even feel like I won now! Why did Master Hand have to d-"

Corrin was interrupted by Bayonetta's finger on his lip. Corrin started to blush.

"You talk too much darling." Bayonetta smirked as she leaned in to kiss Corrin on the lips. Again, he froze in place at the sudden action. He wanted to close his eyes and let her do what she wanted, but he felt something wasn't right. As a result, Corrin turned his face away from the older woman.

"C-Cere no. Stop…we can't."

"Why not?"

"What about that guy from earlier? Don't you like him more? I saw how he was flirting with you. I thought you liked him. Why are you kissing me instead?"

Corrin still didn't get over what happened with Luka. How could he? Bayonetta and Luka looked like a perfect fit. He couldn't imagine himself being with Bayonetta in reality when she was out of his lead. He may have loved the idea, but it was still a fairytale way of thinking. He had enough common sense to know that pining for someone that was perfect would lead to bad things happening. However, while Bayonetta was not perfect, she made him feel complete. Corrin felt like Bayonetta did not think the same way despite her actions. It was too good to be true.

Bayonetta groaned. She knew Luka was going to cause more problems than he was worth when he was interacting with her. If only she was able to get his mouth shut, then maybe Corrin wouldn't be on edge. "Corrin, Luka and I are just friends. He always acts that way around me. I don't see Luka in that way. Corrin, I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else but you darling."

Corrin gasped as his expression changed to something that Bayonetta could not recognize. It confused her seeing him start to fidget again before murmuring something that was difficult to hear.

"…What did you say?"

Bayonetta shook her head in annoyance. "Don't make me say it twice, Corrin. You know how I am about these sorts of things."

"I know but…I want to hear it again…"

It was too much to ask for. Corrin knew this but he couldn't help himself. The dragon prince couldn't help but give a small smile with how close Bayonetta was. He was starting to lean in closer to her awaiting another kiss from her. This small action was enough for Bayonetta to give into his demand just this once (even though she could be heard muttering to herself how she has become a softie because of him).

"The only one I want to kiss is you Corrin…nobody else."

Corrin's heart began to beat as his eyes started to sparkle. Bayonetta had to look away mumbling the adorable look the dragon prince was giving her. Corrin made things worse when he suddenly gave her a bear hug of all things causing her to groan at how he didn't seem to understand his own strength.

"C-Cere, y-you mean a whole lot to me. All the memories…good and bad…I had here in this world were from spending time with you. E-Even if you hated me originally, I didn't care. I had a lot to think about after our fight. It made me realize that I couldn't slap a perfect image on you like a princess would a prince in fairytales…"

Bayonetta really needed to ask Corrin why he was so obsessed with these fantasy stories. Kamui already gave her an idea on why he was like that, but she needed to ask him some other time when he wasn't confessing his love to him. This felt so cliché to her, but for once she was feeling the same way as the person that was in love with her.

"After you saved me from Hades, it felt like my knight in shining armor came and protected me like in those fairytales. It's kind of shameful…to always expect someone to save me. I am capable of protecting myself, but sometimes I like the idea…because it gives me an indication if someone cares. Sis did it a lot and I came to rely on her for it, but it got to the point where I felt like I needed to grow up and save myself…but then you saved me despite having no obligation to and I ended up…" Corrin started to trail off. He was rambling too much at this point. He needed to get to the point. "C-Cere...I...I love you. I…never felt this way with anyone before. I want to be by your side and protect you to. I don't want this relationship to be one-sided. I…I really…want to be with you…"

You're too cute for your own good. Bayonetta thought to herself as a real smile escaped her lips. There were no hints of devious intent in her smile. Her lips were placed upon Corrin's forehead causing him to giggle at sudden action. "Corrin…I do you love you as well."

Corrin hummed feeling Bayonetta's hand on his ear as she started to play with it, and again, Corrin continued to let out a soft moan at how her perfect hand was making his entire body tremble. The dragon prince wasn't the strongest person and he knew this well, but Bayonetta was making his legs extra weak tonight.

"Since this is a fairytale, we should end with a happy ending." She continued as she pressed her lips against Corrin again. Corrin just shuts his eyes and kisses Bayonetta back. He slowly wraps his arms around her neck for some leverage. He didn't want a quick kiss like the other times. Corrin was expecting a longer, more fulfilling one. The Umbra Witch tasted as sweet as the lollipops she was usually found chewing on. It was going to start to become an addicting taste at this rate.

Happy ending to Bayonetta meant something more than just a kiss. The two were alone at the lakeside and this was the perfect opportunity to have fun. She knew how Corrin was, and she wanted to respect him for tonight. She was perfectly content with just making out with the young prince in her arms. They would need to head back to the mansion eventually before Kamui started throwing a fit where her brother went after he said good-bye. She couldn't even wish her siblings off due to fatigue and Corrin would have to go treat her soon. The two would also need to talk about boundaries and other things that couples needed to talk about. It was a hassle, but she knew very well that this had to be addressed for anything to continue. Corrin was still living in his fantasy world, and for now…she was going to keep him in this happy state. For now, she was going to shower Corrin with her affection in a way that she never showered anyone before. For now…she too was going to be living in the fairytale moment.

Authors note: And that's it ladies and gentlemen. The end of the Bayonetta/Corrin arc in my fanfics. They're finally together after five months of doing these stories. I had a really fun time writing these fics. I hope you all did reading them and maybe you can start doing your own Bayonetta/Corrin fics if you like the pairings as much as I do.

I couldn't have done it alone though. I want to give a special thank you to GintaxAlvissforever. Honestly if it wasn't for her, the Bayonetta/Corrin pairing would've never existed in my universe. Because of Bayonetta/Corrin, I found my passion in writing stories again. It was all because of her. If you're going to thank anyone for these fics, it should be her. I also wouldn't be here writing for you all if she hadn't inspire me and motivated me to start writing fanfics again. Helped me remember why I loved doing it in the first place. Now I'm here to stay.

I can't thank her enough for all she's done for me. She's helped me a lot in writing my fanfics and brought so much life into them. She took me under her wing and helped me become a better writer. So this is a huge shoutout and thank you to Ginta. You all should go check her out and read her fanfics because she's a really amazing author.

You all will be getting more Bayonetta/Corrin. They'll just be sitting secondary for awhile to focus on developing other characters. Thank you all for reading. It means a lot you guys.
