"Yes. Well, the realm you are in is constructed of a certain energy used for magic back in the days of old, like in the Arthur days. Unity, it would be called, but half of its energy is what mutated the creatures that now walk in Earth. Chaos energy."Whirling his tribal-like staff, he swirled the fire's smoke into a vortex to bring up a animated image. "This was started when creatures from another galaxy somehow breached into this realm and squeezed out the Chaos Energy into liquid substance."She would see a futuristic city being caught in a destructive war, caused by giant robots. "Until the Meterex came and sought to take it by extreme force."

"...my, they look aggressive," Bayonetta commented.

"Very. However, one of the Drakens...these alien fishes bent on conquering worlds, sought to take the energy for himself. But a fight with some guards accidentally led them to fall into the Chaos vats."Then the city was smashed apart for a fight between the Metarex and Perfect Chaos, Devil Doom, and Solaris was brought. "And were mutated into these creatures. But, since they did not know their powers well, the Meterex trounced them."The image shown the water monster shooting into space; rocketing through the cosmos like a white comet. "Chaos quickly fled to the stars, until he crashed onto Earth. He would be the comet you all heard of."

"...so this energy came from there, and this is what mutated the animals on Earth into these Anthros that the humans make such a big deal about..." Bayonetta mused, nodding.

"Well the Chaos half, but yes. You see, the water beast had so much Chaos energy inside of him, that when he crashed, he not only mutated the animals, but also caused some rifts to this place. While the rifts cannot be entered by anyone, Chaos energy are slowly pouring out of it. Chaos somewhat doesn't obey logic and Physics, pretty much how magic is. Raw Chaos energy can alter even geographical areas into who-know-what. But...sooner or later, the planet won't agree with it." "Yeah, dudette." Taking an apple with his claws on his wings...he split it apart, as if he was demonstrating what Chaos can do to the planet.

"...so it's so unstable that it could even tear the planet apart..." Bayonetta tapped her lip thoughtfully. This was interesting indeed... ...and remembering what the Oracle said... "...I suppose you're going to start talking about how that Aleena plays into all of this, aren't you?" she assumed.

"Aleena? Why, she's the key to stabilize both realms...well one of the keys. We don't know why, but that's the 'Power-above's' choice, but she, along with another, was given some power to help stabilize the realm, if conditions are met. Hopefully it'll also end the war." "Hmph! Quite foolish, I say so. The wild hedgehog is nothing but a reckless beast that causes more trouble than less." "Well no one's perfect. Mogul likes to toy with Anthros' feelings about humans in order to gain lackeys. He used to be one of us when he was trapped here, but he...had other ideas. He managed to escape when Chaos weakened the barriers, but we quickly drained as much of his power as we could before he left."

"...so this Mogul is a powerful sort..." and it explains how he was able to send Bayonetta here. Thankfully, there was at least a somewhat logical explanation for what the Oracle told her about Aleena being the key for a new beginning... As to why Aleena had been this "chosen one" seems to even baffle these guys, strangely enough, so no help there... "...say...why are you telling me all of this?" Bayonetta suddenly asked curiously.

"Because when you leave this realm, you're going to know what it's like to be 'them'." "FURRIES!!!" the pterodactyl excitedly cried, tugging on the sticky s'mores with his beak. A scowl he made behind his mask, as he pointed at her with his little arm. "Little witch, this realm is where you, your Umbra Witch comrades, Lumen Sages, all magical begins draw your power from. We are its controllers; make sure you foolish creatures don't swindle such power, and to keep all from entering this superior plane." "Yes. We make sure those like you, human, Lumen Sage...anyone to enter here. Mogul's way was...rather crude. We don't want to be responsible for damaging the barriers any further before the Earth realm and this realm are fixed in its appropriate time. But because of the mutation, it seems Anthros can safely enter the gates we create...otherwise, you'll be burned to ashes."

"...so you're turning me into one of them?" Bayonetta was genuinely surprised by this...and still interested yet.

"It's the only way for you to leave this place, I'm afraid." he said, patting his staff. "You magical beings draw the realm's power in different ways, so your Witch Eye will need some time to adjust to the energy we'll put into you before it can help you change back into your normal self. Also this may effect your powers; maybe weaken them. But it can also give some good advantages. Many anthros are rather fast, for one thing..."

"Right," Bayonetta responded. "...well, I don't really have anything to lose," Bayonetta said then. "You may go ahead whenever, gentlemen."

"Dude! She called us gentlemen!!" he giddied, only for the smaller dino to smack his head. Clearing his throat, he motioned his brother to all surround the bonfire. BGM: Spirit of Africa (Congo Soundtrack) - Jerry Goldsmith The tribal dinos rattled their wands, chanting in some type of African tongue, or perhaps some kind of Shaman language. Their dance caused the fire to, not only burn wild, but randomly change color. The fire rose high, nearly to the ceiling like a rainbow pillar...of fire. As this happened, Bayonetta would hear various animal sounds, either from either tropical or forest lands. Images of animals, made of light all stampede, out of the bonfire, around the pillar, and climbing high off it.

She looked around, more curiously.

As this happened, the room grew dark, and the only source of light was this show. Closing his eyes, the dinosaur tried to focus on an animal suitable for her. It wasn't easy, for though he tried to aim for a black cat or a panther, Chaos doesn't...shall we say...go for stereotypes. UH?!? This was something he didn't expect. He saw...many things. He knew what was going to happen with Aleena, but...it's something else after her story is done... ...hedgehogs...fighting a mad scientist... ....hedgehogs...that was used as a shell for an ultimate life... ...hedgehogs...that come from the future. ...a hedgehog...that would defend the world from a threat that was predicted to assault the Earth. "URK!!" the dinos were knocked back when the fire exploded. The rainbow pillar dived down, slamming right onto Bayonetta; quickly changing her shape.

The darkness faded away, as well as the wild fire. The large dino picked himself up to look over his hanfywork. "I was going for a cat; really..."

She felt... ...shorter... looking at her hands, they were much bigger. Proportions had been altered on her big time...her feet were so big that they felt heavy, and she stumbled a bit before she regained her sense of balance. She felt her big head, finding a pair of ears on the top of her head. "...you wouldn't happen to have a mirror, would you?" she asked.

In a second, the goofy reptile held a hand mirror with his beak, and zipped up to her.

( ;D YEEEEE! That's awesome!!) "Well, we warned you..." "Yo, dudette!" he squeeled. "You're a hedgehog! Man, those things are really popular." "...." The small Ancient Walker stared at him. "...how?" "....well they will be." Scratching his head, he looked over at her new form. "Hm...fate seems to favor these creatures. Something about them is important."

Bayonetta turned back and forth, inspecting herself head to toe. There was a short tail sticking out of her butt now... yeah, she was a hedgehog; like Aleena. "...amazing..." she spoke. Yeah, and her outfit could change size easily, considering that, as a little known secret, her clothes were entirely made up with her hair... except her gloves and shoes. What couldn't change size, though, was the treasure with the tiny red gem that rested on her chest. Now it was on the floor, and when Bayonetta spotted it, she picked it back up. The "Left Eye" it was called, and said to be the most precious treasure of all the Umbra Witches...

"Yes. Well, as far as I can tell, hedgehogs have this natural attack that allows them to spin into a ball and strike with the force of a cannonball. You should also be twice as fast."

"Doesn't make sense to me, for how could all these mammals have the force of a cannonball when there's nothing that shoots them. If there was something to shoot them, then it has to be a cannon, for then it would make sense that they would be like the cannonball. But since there is-" And the winged dino slapped him with his wing. Shaking his head at the two, "Why do I let them have a TV?...Uh, well...I can't say how this could affect your witch powers, but I do know this may affect your...client. We all know how General Granite feels about Anthros."
