[A couple days passed, and the night of the concert finally arrived! Kyouske picked up Sayaka, who was wearing a new semi fnacy blue blouse and a white skirt, a flower clip in her hair and some jewelry. Ok, maybe a bit overdressed for a concret, but this was a speicla occaison,and a date! she had to look nice!. Kyosuke smiled at her warmly] "You look wonderful, Sayaka!" "thanks!" he handed her a bouquet.She swquealed happily and accpeted them and thanked him, went to put them in a vase, then they got into the back of the car, holding hands, and off they went!
everyt=one was agthering at the amusement park, ready for the concert, bustling about in excitement. the stage was set up in front of the carousel. Miku was backstage, getting ready. she was feeling dreary, even after all the caffeine products she had tried to take to stay awake. She was annoyed that Len couldn't make it. Stupid rin being ill... Haku was in the back, trying to help her out, but she was worried of Miku's behaior
[Miku sighed, then, and went to the toilet. She stuck her Soul Gem to the Grief Seed she had in her little pouch with a sigh.]
[She had so few of them left! But never mind, she wasn't going to need them at all once she stopped being a Magical Girl...Right?]
[And then, Miku stopped and paused for a moment, realizing that she'd never met anybody who'd quit being a Magical Girl. That was odd, now that she thought about it.]
[She looked around the toilet, and sighed.]
...Hey, Kyubey - I know you're someplace nearby, creepy little thing that you are. There's something I want to ask you - How come I never met a ex Magical Girl before?
[And then, Kyubey popped out of one of the vents in the ceiling, just like that.]
- Most Magical Girls don't try to quit in the first place, Miku - Though I do know of one person that did something so her powers went dormant most of the time. She only hunts Witchs about once an year or something most of the time, can you imagine?
[And in the Kagamine household...]
[Rin's eyes opened, as the images of Miku and the Kyubey faded from her mind.]
...Damn it, Miku.
[She mumbled, and wiped the tears coming out of her eyes. She then tried to get up, though her body can gotten weak from getting sick so often these days. She used some of her magic make her body move, and sat up.]
- Well, I really should be there, I suppose. I - Or rather, Kagamine Rin - does owe her that much, at least...
"..tch... Luckyy her... if only I could do tat..." She lay back with a sigh. Haku shook as she saw Miku talking tho that white cat thing, but she didn't know what to say or do, but she ahad a bad feeling about this...
[meanheile] Len saw her getting up and ran over to support her] "Easy Rin..." "come one Len, we're going, to that concert..." "huh? rin, as much as I'd like to, We can't. You're still sick" Len shook his head Rin shook her head too and offered a weak smile up to him "I'll be fine Len. We've got to be there to support our friend!" Even if her days were left numbered... finally he nodded "I'll go ask mom then."
Sayaka sat in the seats next to Kyouske, trembling with excitement. Here she was! And Kyueby watched Sayaka and Miku patiently.
[Rin shook her head, then, and sat up. Len winced as he saw a faint aura twist around her body - That was magic, right?]
[And then, he shook his head, and went to talk to their mother.]
...Miku's big concert, huh? Poor Miku-chan, she sounded so odd the last time I talked to her...
[Their mother said, and then she paused for a couple of moments.]
- Alright, you two can go - as long as I go with you.
[And then, she wriggled her finger at him.]
...And that part is non negotiable, Len. I mean it!
[And in the backstage toilet...]
[Haku waited until Miku went back to her changing room, mumbling to herself - And then, she went up to the Kyubey, and stepped on him accidentally on purpose.]
[The Kyubey sqelched against the tiles on the floor for a moment, and then looked up at her, smiling softly.]
...You know, Yowane Haku - I look at people like you, and I realize that I have no real idea what's really going on when a girl becomes a Magical Girl, or goes Witch for that matter. The former "you" went Witch, but you "reincarnated" anyway!
[Haku gritted her teeth, and ground Kyubey into the tiles.]
- You know, I'm pretty sure you have a soul too, but I really feel sorry for it, having to be connected to such a puny shallow thing as yourself. It must be bored to death by now, I'm pretty sure -
[And then, she stomped on him for good measure.]
...Or you know - Maybe being reincarnated as an Incubator is a punishment of some kind, who knows!
[And then, she put her hands to her mouth. Wait, what?]
"that's fine,mom!" Len nodded , then went up to tell Rin. rin was happy to hear that they could go. "Miku will be happy to see us!" "Yes. she will..." Len certainly hoped so. If Miku would feel better now...
[And Haku started to feel dizzy again. Agh, what were these voices an feelings and visions that kept comign recently! It started when that weird whtie cat thing appeared... maybe she was going crazy after all. Maybe, she should check herself in somewhere, for everyone, especially Miku's safety... yeha, that might be best.... She shrugged and took another swig of drikn,floppin down onto the couch. [the manager knocked on the door] "5 minutes, Miss hatsune!" "Ah, all ready? But, I'm not ready!" "Oh, really!" the manager sent some assistants in to finish Miku's hair and makeup. "There you are!" "you look wonderful, miss Hastune!" "Tch, of course I do..."Miku flipped her long teal pigtails "I'm the star idol!"
[Madoka, Mami and Nagisa had now arrived at the park, too.]
- All right, everybody - Kyubey must have given us these tickets for a reason, I think, so let's be extra careful about this, OK?
[Mami said, while Madoka sighed.]
[Nagisa, in the meanwhile, was pouting up a storm.]
- If he's planning something, it must be bad, I'm sure...
[But then, she looked up at Mami, and made a cute fist.]
...But I'll stay here anyway, so I can protect you, Mami-san!
[Madoka, in the meanwhile, groaned inwardly. Sometimes, she just kept wanting to blurt out that Magical Girls turned into Witches eventually, but - It really, really wouldn't be good for the mental health of the girls who'd made the Contract already, she was pretty sure.]
[And in the meanwhile, Homura Akemi was standing on top of one of the buildings, sighing a bit. And then, she turned her eyes away, and blinked as she saw two - no, three blond people arriving from another gate. Hmmm, they did seem to be a bit familiar, but... And then, she paused a bit - Did she feel a wiff of magic, from the blond teenage girl down there?]
[And that was when Kyoko arrived behind her with a giggle!]
...Yo!
[She said with a wicked smile, and floated down to where Homura was.]
- You must be the newbie who's making waves around this place recently, right?
"...I am not so much a newbie" Homur rpelied cooly "But I suppose I am new to this area." "Tch" Kyokouko shurgged "Whatever. Anyway, came to warn ya. Don't get in my way. I claimed some territories round these parts!" "I don't plan to. However, I may need your help for some things" "Oh really?" Kyouo munched on some popcorn "meh, it depends.. Probably not. Whats in it for me, huh?"
The other girls took their seat. Madoka looked around, and saw Sayaka with Kyosuke!" "Oh, she looks so pretty and happy!" She exclamied with a smile "They must be on a date!" Mami raised an erebrow "Is that the boy she talked about before?
- You wouldn't want me as an enemy, Sakura Kyoko. But as for what you might gain -
[And then, she pulled an apple out of her shield, and tossed it toward Kyoko. Kyoko plucked the apple out of the air, and stared at it, and then at her shield.]
...Huh.
Don't worry, Sakura-san, it's not poisoned or anything - Though I do hope you wouldn't waste on that bloody red eyed creep.
[And then, she sighed a bit more.]
...Oh, my name is Akemi Homura, by the way. Just in case you were wondering.
[Kyoko stared at her for a moment more, and then grinned.]
- Oh, you don't haveta worry about that, Akemi Homura - Kyubey can go find his own damn food, seriously.
[And then, she crunched into the apple.]
[And in the meanwhile, Rin was talking to herself as she walked.]
...One, two, three...That's more then five Magical Girls in one place, not counting Miku. ...The damn Incubator must be planning something pretty spectular indeed, what the bloody fuck.
[Len groaned, then, and whispered in her ear -]
...Rin. Language!
[And then, he gestured toward their mother, who was now trying to decide whether to buy any popcorn or not.]
Kyoko turned away "I dont trust that Kyubey, ya know."Homura nodded "I know.that is a good thing. his is not to be trusted." "yeah, I figured that out, but whatever, Im in this magical girl business for my own damn self!@ don't care who gets in my way, whether its civilaian, or other magical girls, like that dumbell blue rookie!" ",,, or tomoe Mami?" "Tch. stupid gooy goody Mami.... what was she thinin, bringin in a little squirt in this buiness!" Homura shrugegd.She knew in some timelines, Kyoko took in another young magical girl as her little ward...
Len held Rin's arms "Rin, please. don't talk about, don't even think about magical girls anymore! Just enjoy yourslef tongight!
[Rin said, and then gently patted Rin's shoulder.]
- Look - When I give the word, I want to to take Mom and just start running. Just carry her out of this place if neccesary, OK?
[Len stared at her, and then looked at their mother, biting his lip. He hadn't realized that Rin had thought things were going to get quite so dangerous...]
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Sayaka was sitting next to Kyosuke, smiling. This was the best day ever!]
[Mami, in the meanwhile, was sniffing at the air.]
...Mami-Oneechan? Do you have a cold?
[Nagisa asked. Mami got red in the face, then, and stopped, shaking her head.]
- No, um...It's just that I keep smelling something that sort of feels like a Witch, somehow...
[And then, the concert started! People oohh'd and ahh'd, and then started to clap as Miku danced up into the stage!]
- Everybody! Thank you so much for coming to my concert!
[She said, happily, and spun around with a grin! Sayaka laughed, claping her hands.]
- Ohhh, she's really in good shape today! I really was worried, but -
[Kyosuke looked at her, then.]
...Huh? Why would you be worried about Hatsune Miku being in good shape, Sayaka?
[And in the meanwhile...Madoka was biting her lip.]
......She's using lots and lots of her magic to make herself look better, isn't she?
[Madoka whispered. Mami's eyes widened, then. She looked at Miku, her Soul Gem in her hand, and concentrated.]
- Um, yes, you're probably right, but how could you tell?
[Madoka wasn't even a Magical Girl yet, after all - How could she?]
[Len then frowned]] "rin. you wnated to be here. So did I. we're here now. We came to support Miku. We can't just up and leave like that!" "Len, you don't understand. A wicth is about to be born!" "And I don't believe you! I don't believe any otf this! We're just going crazy! "Damn it Len!" "You are not a magical girl Rin! snap out of it!" their mother looked on wearily as they started to fight.
"Because she's a magical girl too. I saw her" Sayaka whispered back "However, it seems like it was taking a toll on her, she was acting a little psyhco!" "Oh my..." "Dont worry Kyosuke, it wont happen to me!" sayaka chuckled. Mami frowned. Yess,the witch aura did seem to be coming up from somewhere onstage...
[And then, she looked to the other side of corridors, where a red eyed white critter was watching them, as impassive as ever.]
[Len almost choked as he saw what she was looking at.]
...That's...not real, Rin!
[Rin patted his shoulder, with a sad sigh.]
......Just remember what I said, Len. OK?
[Their mother, in the meanwhile, was scowling a bit as she looked in the direction her children were looking at. She saw a flash of white with red eyes, and sighed as it faded away just as she tried to concentrate on it.]
[...Where her family all going mad?]
[And on the concert stage...]
[Miku leaped and sang, as her fans cheered her on.]
[Oh, yes - This was what she was born to do, this was her destiny!]
[...Who cared what that other girl thought? She, Hatsune Miku, was a star - The star of the century! Everybody knew her name, and everybody sang her praises -]
[And that was how it was going to be, for ever and ever and ever.]
[And that was when she saw a white something, looking at her from behind the stage wings.]
(For ever and ever and ever? But that wasn't what you Wished for, Hatsune Miku!)
[The Kyubey hopped right onto the stage, then, though only a very few people could see him while he had his shields up.]
(What you Wished for was for your talent to be discovered, and to become the best and most well known Idol Singer in Japan, bar none!)
[And then, the Kyubey smiled, it's smile getting wider and wider.]
[Miku frowned as she danced and sang, trying to focus on it as she responding telepathically to that dark fluffy creature] "Oh just what do you wnat now, you thing! can't you see I'm busy! And I know what my own wish was and that it came true!" "I know. I was just reminding you." [Kyubey said simply, swishing his tail] "Well you don't have to. now scat!" "very well." "What is Kyubey doing on stage?" [Sayaka wondered. Kyosuke shrugged ib response.] Homura gripped the seats of her chair, her eyes narrowing. What was that furry demon scheming this time! Could this singer be one of the witches they fought? She did seem fmailair,] M[Miku ignored Kyubey and focused on her performance. She had to do it, everyone wacthing her, yes, she was the star here, the people loved her. forever, encaued in their memories, the star,,,, she missed a step and stumbled. some people murmured at that
[Aand that was when there was a chuckle from the back stages.]
...She's really losing it, isn't she?
[A girl with big poofy hair said, laughing.]
- And Sara-san's time is coming, sure enough! In 5 years, nobody's going to remember Hatsune Miku anymore, ha ha ha - She'll be lucky if she could make ends meet, singing on the stages in onsens!
[One of the other girls sweatdropped at that.]
...Hey, hey, I like Sara-san too, but I don't think Miku-san's going to be forgotten all that easily...
[The poofy haired girl laughed again.]
- Sure, sure, whatever - Make that 10 years, then. Or maybe she'll end up owning her own mini-company and trying to sell stuff, 'cause nobody wants to deal with her. I mean, even her own manager doesn't want to put up with her anymore - He said she gives him the heebie-jeebies, especially since he has a little baby daughter now...
[Miku almost tripped again at that, but put on her concert face, and gamely carried on. She hadn't even realized that Kondo-san's wife had had their baby already! And...]
[...Could it be true, that Konko-san didn't want to put up with her anymore? It couldn't be true, she said, blinking back tears while she waved the mike around - He'd been her manager from the very beginning! She'd first met him the day after she'd made the Contract, and -]
[Hatsune Miku-san! Did anybody ever tell you you have the aura of a star? ]
"Ah, really?" Miku blinked and smiled at the manager "you certainly do! everyone thinks yso after they saw your demon tape. I'm glad our recording company recieved it!And since you're a fresh face in this business, I'm going to do my best to help the world see your shine!" Soon after Miku released her first single. "Good news Miku! People love you, it's a hit!" So her popularity and fame grew, she was a star! One day her soul gem flickered a bit and she sensed a presence that can only be described as dark. "what's going on?" the gem seemed to be pulling her towards an alleyway "could this be for one of those witches Kyubey told me about?" "yes, it is a witch presernce" two girls showed up, one was a girl about her age wearing a ribboned smock and a beret and carying an art kit, the other was a litte girl with a red and blue tutu and striped stocking and stars in her fluffy hair "Oh hey, aren't you Hatsune Miku? You're one of us?"
[The Magical Girl in the smock grinned, waving a paintbrush.]
- Introductions can wait for later - First, we fight the Witch!
[The Magical Girl in the tutu laughed, then.]
...Yeah, we're in luck - There's more than one Witch in this Witch Barrier, if I haven't misread things - We could probably get 2 Grief Seeds if we manage to deal with them, or even more!
"Huh? Grief seeds? what are those?" [Miku asked curiosuly as she followed the two other girls] "They're the dark remainders that a witch leaves behind when she is defeated" ]the girl in the smock responded] "ok. And why does she sound excited about it?" "Brecause grief seeds we collect are used to rrestore our magical energy, so they're very useful!" "Oh. Yes, it does sound good" they go in. the girl in the smock soon come to a stop at a wall and waves her soul gem. a glittering portal opens,. "here we are. the wicth lair. Stay close to me." she goes in, the oother two following. Miku was nervous what kind of figth would this be? she's enevr really fought before. In fact, she's never really tried out her new powers yet either! well, she'll stick close to the other two. Though the little girl in the tutu seemed to young to be a magical herorine. ]
[The young looking Magical Girl, however, was looking at Miku quizzically as they walked through the Witch Barrier.]
...Oh, cripes. This is your very first Witch hunt, isn't it?
[Miku got red in the face, while the other Magical girl in the smock looked somewhat apprehensive.]
- It is? Yikes!
[And then, she sighed a bit, smiled, and patted Miku's arm.]
...Um. You shouldn't worry, though - Everybody has to start out sometimes, right?
[And then, she looked at the other girl, and shrugged.]
- OK, I changed my mind - We probably do have time enough for introductions after all, as long as we keep it short and sweet.
[And then, she looked back at Miku with a grin.]
...My name is Shirakaba Miyu, and I draw and paint things when I'm not going to school or fighting Witches or whatever.
[The little girl in the tutu sighed at that, and held up something that looked like a magical wand from one of the older Magical Girl mangas or animes, pouting.]
- Sure, fine - My name is Tomioka Maria, and I'm not an 8 year old, jeez...Just stop treating me like a kid, OK? I've been fighting Witches for almost two years, now!
[Miku stared at her, then. So how old was she, anyway?]
...Yeah, yeah, you're almost 11 years old now, which is still a kid by almost anybody's standards, OK?
[The other girl laughed, and then turned back to Miku.]
...And you're Hatsune Miku, yeah, we know, but - Why don't you introduce yourself anyway?
[Miku got red in the face, then.]
- Um - I - My name is Hatsune Miku, and I'm a middle school student and a Idol Singer, and my favorite food is negi! Though leeks are fine, too...
[The other girls laughed at that.]
...What, you really love long onions that much? I thought it was just a gimmick!
[The girl in the smock said, laughing. Miku smiled at her.]
Um, no, I really love them! My parents used to think it was weird, too, I know...
[And then, she remembered her parents, and became a little sad, remembering the accident that had taken their lives. If only they could have seen her like now!]
[And then, Miku looked at the other two girls, and made herself grin brightly.]
...And I'm - I'm going to be the most famous Idol Singer in Japan! I mean, that was my Wish, and...
- Good for you, Miku-san!
[The girl in the smock said, and clapped Miku on the arm.]
...Well, you didn't waste your Wish, at the very least, it seems...
[The younger girl said with a sigh, and then paused, and slowly held up her wand.A small screen blipped in front of her, with many dots of light moving about.]
- Uh, oh - There's no more time for talk, now! Familiars incoming!
"familiars? what are those?" [Miku asked as the scene changed to what looked like something out of a goofy classic western cartoon] "Familiars are a witche's minions that she creates" [Miyu explained as she took out a large paintbrush from her art kit. What looked like deformed cartoon hamsters scurried up to them. she twirled her paintbrush sernding out globs of magic paint as an attack. Maria skipped along and shot out stars from her wand at the familiars. Miku focused on bringing up an attack. squares of energy crackling electricty formed around her hands]"Ah! cool!" She shout out energy atatcks at the familiars. eventually they got rid of the swarm of fmailairs in the area] "We did it!" "We did! good job girls! But it's not over yet Miku, we still need to find her witch herself. Let's go." and off they went through the labyrinth. Finally they came upon the center like a cartoonists studio. The witch was sitting at the desk, drawing. she looked like a female stick figure wearing a beret and polka dotted skirt and big white gloves . "Ah, a kindred spirit in art" Miyu commented
[The Witch said something to Miyu in Witchspeak, then, and quickly drew a gigantic hole in the ground, and three stick-shaped Magical Girls falling into it.]
[And then, she turned it toward them with a grin!]
[Miyu groaned as the hole formed beneath them, and they began to fall into it, just like in the drawing the Witch had just made.]
...Cripe - Everybody, hold on!
[And then, she grabbed Maria with her left hand and Miku with her right, and began to float them to safety...]
[the magical girls managed to reach out of the hole safleyand landed on solid ground] "whew, that was a close one!" [Miku eyed the witch] "So witches are western cartoons?" "Well this one is, but withes come in all shapes and sizes and themes. Hmph, well, two can play at this artistic game! "[e She whipped out her paintbrush again and some more art supplies. The witch giggled and drew up more of her familars, which materialized into thin air and attackeed] "Miku! Maria! Cover me and take care of the familairs! I'll handle the witch!" [Miyu jumped to the witch and started drawings of her own.] "right!" Miku and Maria continuied the battle with the familairs.
[Miku, however, was having a hard time figuring out what her powers were in the first place, much less how to use them in battle.]
- Yikes!
[She said, rolling away from a Familiar's attack in the nick of time. Maria saw Miku roll across the floor and scramble to her feet, and laughed.]
...You've got good instincts, at the very least!
[And then, she paused for a moment.]
......Say, Miku-san - Why don't you try singing to them or something? It might work - I mean, your Wish was to become an Idol Singer, right?
[Aand that was when the Witch jumped away from Miyu, and started to paint again! She moved her brush over a canvas conjured on thin air, and grinned as she showed them a painting of two-mouse-like figures made of thorny roses. One of the figures were supposed to be wearing pants, judging from the siluette, while the other one was supposed to be wearing a skirt and had a bright red rose blooming on "her" head.]
[Miyu groaned as the two mouse-things materialized, too, becoming more "real" by the second.]
[flashback] [miku had an idea and shot up more magical electrical boxes, entrapping the newly made familiars in them] "There!" "great job Miku! I'll finish them off!" [Marisa twirled her magical girl wands and shot out a stream of colorful stars, finishing off the familiars, which enploded in a cloud of smoke and the literal words 'poof!'] "Get back here!" [Miyu shot more globs of paint at the witch and drawing up her own painted images to send out to attack.now that the familiars were going, Miku and Marisa jumped in and joined the battle against the witch] "Ok! I think we're wearing her down!"
...OK, then - It's my turn to kick some posterier!
[And then, she spun around, her magic twirling around her - And Miku's jaw dropped as a bright and colorful cartoonish tank appeared in the air! Maria quickly crawled into the magical tank, and grinned bloodthirstily.]
- Final attack grand alpha!
[She said with a grin - And the Witch blew up with a boom, with magical flowers and candies and glitter flying everywhere!]
[Miyu, in the meanwhile, had gotten out of the way of Maria's attack at the very last moment, and was now coughing up a storm, covered with the magical glitter and whatnot.]
...Maria - I've told you and told you to warn me when when you fire any of your final attacks, geez! Are you trying to blow me up with the Witch on purpose?
[Miku grinned, then, as the Witch Barrier started to melt around them.]
...We won!
[And that was when she paused. Most of the Familiars that hadn't been blown up yet were melting away with the Witch Barrier...]
[But at least 3 of them weren't melting away at all. Wait, wait, wait - What in the world was happening!?]
"Why aren't those familiars leaving?" <Miku asked, stiffening.
"They must be leveled up familiars!" Miyu exclaimed "They're strong emough to last a bit longer after their mistress is taken out."
"Obviously e gotta take care of them too!" Maria bounced and blasted them. After some more hits, they were finally gone.
"There we go!"
"now for the grief seed." Miyu found it and picked it up.
"What's a grief seed?" Miku asked
"It's an item witches leave behind when they're defeated. They're very useful to us magical girls as they restore our magical energy. Here Maria."
[Maria nodded and held up her soul gem. as the grief seed touched it it absorbed some darkness, leaving the gem shiny and clean.]
"One grief seed can usually be used several times, so here you can use this one too Miku. Just hold it to your gem like this."
"Oh, wow!" As the gem was cleaned she felt reenergized "Thank you Miyu san!"
"you're very welcome" Miyu cleaned off her own gem "Just make sure to give it to Kyubey once it's all used up. He'll safely dispose of it.Otherwise if left alone the witch will reform again."

Date: 2015-10-13 05:23 am (UTC)Kyouske picked up Sayaka, who was wearing a new semi fnacy blue blouse and a white skirt, a flower clip in her hair and some jewelry. Ok, maybe a bit overdressed for a concret, but this was a speicla occaison,and a date! she had to look nice!. Kyosuke smiled at her warmly]
"You look wonderful, Sayaka!"
"thanks!"
he handed her a bouquet.She swquealed happily and accpeted them and thanked him, went to put them in a vase, then they got into the back of the car, holding hands, and off they went!
everyt=one was agthering at the amusement park, ready for the concert, bustling about in excitement. the stage was set up in front of the carousel. Miku was backstage, getting ready. she was feeling dreary, even after all the caffeine products she had tried to take to stay awake. She was annoyed that Len couldn't make it. Stupid rin being ill...
Haku was in the back, trying to help her out, but she was worried of Miku's behaior
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-13 05:49 am (UTC)[She had so few of them left! But never mind, she wasn't going to need them at all once she stopped being a Magical Girl...Right?]
[And then, Miku stopped and paused for a moment, realizing that she'd never met anybody who'd quit being a Magical Girl. That was odd, now that she thought about it.]
[She looked around the toilet, and sighed.]
...Hey, Kyubey - I know you're someplace nearby, creepy little thing that you are. There's something I want to ask you - How come I never met a ex Magical Girl before?
[And then, Kyubey popped out of one of the vents in the ceiling, just like that.]
- Most Magical Girls don't try to quit in the first place, Miku - Though I do know of one person that did something so her powers went dormant most of the time. She only hunts Witchs about once an year or something most of the time, can you imagine?
[And in the Kagamine household...]
[Rin's eyes opened, as the images of Miku and the Kyubey faded from her mind.]
...Damn it, Miku.
[She mumbled, and wiped the tears coming out of her eyes. She then tried to get up, though her body can gotten weak from getting sick so often these days. She used some of her magic make her body move, and sat up.]
- Well, I really should be there, I suppose. I - Or rather, Kagamine Rin - does owe her that much, at least...
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-15 04:45 am (UTC)[meanheile]
Len saw her getting up and ran over to support her] "Easy Rin..."
"come one Len, we're going, to that concert..."
"huh? rin, as much as I'd like to, We can't. You're still sick" Len shook his head
Rin shook her head too and offered a weak smile up to him "I'll be fine Len. We've got to be there to support our friend!" Even if her days were left numbered...
finally he nodded "I'll go ask mom then."
Sayaka sat in the seats next to Kyouske, trembling with excitement. Here she was! And Kyueby watched Sayaka and Miku patiently.
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-15 05:31 am (UTC)[Rin shook her head, then, and sat up. Len winced as he saw a faint aura twist around her body - That was magic, right?]
[And then, he shook his head, and went to talk to their mother.]
...Miku's big concert, huh? Poor Miku-chan, she sounded so odd the last time I talked to her...
[Their mother said, and then she paused for a couple of moments.]
- Alright, you two can go - as long as I go with you.
[And then, she wriggled her finger at him.]
...And that part is non negotiable, Len. I mean it!
[And in the backstage toilet...]
[Haku waited until Miku went back to her changing room, mumbling to herself - And then, she went up to the Kyubey, and stepped on him accidentally on purpose.]
[The Kyubey sqelched against the tiles on the floor for a moment, and then looked up at her, smiling softly.]
...You know, Yowane Haku - I look at people like you, and I realize that I have no real idea what's really going on when a girl becomes a Magical Girl, or goes Witch for that matter. The former "you" went Witch, but you "reincarnated" anyway!
[Haku gritted her teeth, and ground Kyubey into the tiles.]
- You know, I'm pretty sure you have a soul too, but I really feel sorry for it, having to be connected to such a puny shallow thing as yourself. It must be bored to death by now, I'm pretty sure -
[And then, she stomped on him for good measure.]
...Or you know - Maybe being reincarnated as an Incubator is a punishment of some kind, who knows!
[And then, she put her hands to her mouth. Wait, what?]
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-15 05:57 am (UTC)rin was happy to hear that they could go. "Miku will be happy to see us!"
"Yes. she will..." Len certainly hoped so. If Miku would feel better now...
[And Haku started to feel dizzy again. Agh, what were these voices an feelings and visions that kept comign recently! It started when that weird whtie cat thing appeared... maybe she was going crazy after all. Maybe, she should check herself in somewhere, for everyone, especially Miku's safety... yeha, that might be best.... She shrugged and took another swig of drikn,floppin down onto the couch.
[the manager knocked on the door] "5 minutes, Miss hatsune!"
"Ah, all ready? But, I'm not ready!"
"Oh, really!" the manager sent some assistants in to finish Miku's hair and makeup. "There you are!" "you look wonderful, miss Hastune!"
"Tch, of course I do..."Miku flipped her long teal pigtails "I'm the star idol!"
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-17 06:12 am (UTC)[Madoka, Mami and Nagisa had now arrived at the park, too.]
- All right, everybody - Kyubey must have given us these tickets for a reason, I think, so let's be extra careful about this, OK?
[Mami said, while Madoka sighed.]
[Nagisa, in the meanwhile, was pouting up a storm.]
- If he's planning something, it must be bad, I'm sure...
[But then, she looked up at Mami, and made a cute fist.]
...But I'll stay here anyway, so I can protect you, Mami-san!
[Madoka, in the meanwhile, groaned inwardly. Sometimes, she just kept wanting to blurt out that Magical Girls turned into Witches eventually, but - It really, really wouldn't be good for the mental health of the girls who'd made the Contract already, she was pretty sure.]
[And in the meanwhile, Homura Akemi was standing on top of one of the buildings, sighing a bit. And then, she turned her eyes away, and blinked as she saw two - no, three blond people arriving from another gate. Hmmm, they did seem to be a bit familiar, but... And then, she paused a bit - Did she feel a wiff of magic, from the blond teenage girl down there?]
[And that was when Kyoko arrived behind her with a giggle!]
...Yo!
[She said with a wicked smile, and floated down to where Homura was.]
- You must be the newbie who's making waves around this place recently, right?
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-18 05:16 am (UTC)"Tch" Kyokouko shurgged "Whatever. Anyway, came to warn ya. Don't get in my way. I claimed some territories round these parts!"
"I don't plan to. However, I may need your help for some things"
"Oh really?" Kyouo munched on some popcorn "meh, it depends.. Probably not. Whats in it for me, huh?"
The other girls took their seat. Madoka looked around, and saw Sayaka with Kyosuke!" "Oh, she looks so pretty and happy!" She exclamied with a smile "They must be on a date!"
Mami raised an erebrow "Is that the boy she talked about before?
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-18 05:29 am (UTC)[Homura sighed a bit, then.]
- You wouldn't want me as an enemy, Sakura Kyoko. But as for what you might gain -
[And then, she pulled an apple out of her shield, and tossed it toward Kyoko. Kyoko plucked the apple out of the air, and stared at it, and then at her shield.]
...Huh.
Don't worry, Sakura-san, it's not poisoned or anything - Though I do hope you wouldn't waste on that bloody red eyed creep.
[And then, she sighed a bit more.]
...Oh, my name is Akemi Homura, by the way. Just in case you were wondering.
[Kyoko stared at her for a moment more, and then grinned.]
- Oh, you don't haveta worry about that, Akemi Homura - Kyubey can go find his own damn food, seriously.
[And then, she crunched into the apple.]
[And in the meanwhile, Rin was talking to herself as she walked.]
...One, two, three...That's more then five Magical Girls in one place, not counting Miku. ...The damn Incubator must be planning something pretty spectular indeed, what the bloody fuck.
[Len groaned, then, and whispered in her ear -]
...Rin. Language!
[And then, he gestured toward their mother, who was now trying to decide whether to buy any popcorn or not.]
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-18 05:37 am (UTC)"yeah, I figured that out, but whatever, Im in this magical girl business for my own damn self!@ don't care who gets in my way, whether its civilaian, or other magical girls, like that dumbell blue rookie!"
",,, or tomoe Mami?"
"Tch. stupid gooy goody Mami.... what was she thinin, bringin in a little squirt in this buiness!"
Homura shrugegd.She knew in some timelines, Kyoko took in another young magical girl as her little ward...
Len held Rin's arms "Rin, please. don't talk about, don't even think about magical girls anymore! Just enjoy yourslef tongight!
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-21 06:00 am (UTC)[Rin said, and then gently patted Rin's shoulder.]
- Look - When I give the word, I want to to take Mom and just start running. Just carry her out of this place if neccesary, OK?
[Len stared at her, and then looked at their mother, biting his lip. He hadn't realized that Rin had thought things were going to get quite so dangerous...]
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Sayaka was sitting next to Kyosuke, smiling. This was the best day ever!]
[Mami, in the meanwhile, was sniffing at the air.]
...Mami-Oneechan? Do you have a cold?
[Nagisa asked. Mami got red in the face, then, and stopped, shaking her head.]
- No, um...It's just that I keep smelling something that sort of feels like a Witch, somehow...
[And then, the concert started! People oohh'd and ahh'd, and then started to clap as Miku danced up into the stage!]
- Everybody! Thank you so much for coming to my concert!
[She said, happily, and spun around with a grin! Sayaka laughed, claping her hands.]
- Ohhh, she's really in good shape today! I really was worried, but -
[Kyosuke looked at her, then.]
...Huh? Why would you be worried about Hatsune Miku being in good shape, Sayaka?
[And in the meanwhile...Madoka was biting her lip.]
......She's using lots and lots of her magic to make herself look better, isn't she?
[Madoka whispered. Mami's eyes widened, then. She looked at Miku, her Soul Gem in her hand, and concentrated.]
- Um, yes, you're probably right, but how could you tell?
[Madoka wasn't even a Magical Girl yet, after all - How could she?]
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-22 05:03 am (UTC)"Len, you don't understand. A wicth is about to be born!"
"And I don't believe you! I don't believe any otf this! We're just going crazy!
"Damn it Len!"
"You are not a magical girl Rin! snap out of it!"
their mother looked on wearily as they started to fight.
"Because she's a magical girl too. I saw her" Sayaka whispered back "However, it seems like it was taking a toll on her, she was acting a little psyhco!"
"Oh my..."
"Dont worry Kyosuke, it wont happen to me!" sayaka chuckled.
Mami frowned. Yess,the witch aura did seem to be coming up from somewhere onstage...
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-22 05:29 am (UTC)[Rin rubbed her head, then, wearily.]
[And then, she looked to the other side of corridors, where a red eyed white critter was watching them, as impassive as ever.]
[Len almost choked as he saw what she was looking at.]
...That's...not real, Rin!
[Rin patted his shoulder, with a sad sigh.]
......Just remember what I said, Len. OK?
[Their mother, in the meanwhile, was scowling a bit as she looked in the direction her children were looking at. She saw a flash of white with red eyes, and sighed as it faded away just as she tried to concentrate on it.]
[...Where her family all going mad?]
[And on the concert stage...]
[Miku leaped and sang, as her fans cheered her on.]
[Oh, yes - This was what she was born to do, this was her destiny!]
[...Who cared what that other girl thought? She, Hatsune Miku, was a star - The star of the century! Everybody knew her name, and everybody sang her praises -]
[And that was how it was going to be, for ever and ever and ever.]
[And that was when she saw a white something, looking at her from behind the stage wings.]
(For ever and ever and ever? But that wasn't what you Wished for, Hatsune Miku!)
[The Kyubey hopped right onto the stage, then, though only a very few people could see him while he had his shields up.]
(What you Wished for was for your talent to be discovered, and to become the best and most well known Idol Singer in Japan, bar none!)
[And then, the Kyubey smiled, it's smile getting wider and wider.]
(...And now, your Wish has been granted.)
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-24 04:36 am (UTC)"I know. I was just reminding you." [Kyubey said simply, swishing his tail]
"Well you don't have to. now scat!"
"very well."
"What is Kyubey doing on stage?" [Sayaka wondered. Kyosuke shrugged ib response.]
Homura gripped the seats of her chair, her eyes narrowing. What was that furry demon scheming this time! Could this singer be one of the witches they fought? She did seem fmailair,]
M[Miku ignored Kyubey and focused on her performance. She had to do it, everyone wacthing her, yes, she was the star here, the people loved her. forever, encaued in their memories, the star,,,, she missed a step and stumbled. some people murmured at that
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-24 06:01 am (UTC)...She's really losing it, isn't she?
[A girl with big poofy hair said, laughing.]
- And Sara-san's time is coming, sure enough! In 5 years, nobody's going to remember Hatsune Miku anymore, ha ha ha - She'll be lucky if she could make ends meet, singing on the stages in onsens!
[One of the other girls sweatdropped at that.]
...Hey, hey, I like Sara-san too, but I don't think Miku-san's going to be forgotten all that easily...
[The poofy haired girl laughed again.]
- Sure, sure, whatever - Make that 10 years, then. Or maybe she'll end up owning her own mini-company and trying to sell stuff, 'cause nobody wants to deal with her. I mean, even her own manager doesn't want to put up with her anymore - He said she gives him the heebie-jeebies, especially since he has a little baby daughter now...
[Miku almost tripped again at that, but put on her concert face, and gamely carried on. She hadn't even realized that Kondo-san's wife had had their baby already! And...]
[...Could it be true, that Konko-san didn't want to put up with her anymore? It couldn't be true, she said, blinking back tears while she waved the mike around - He'd been her manager from the very beginning! She'd first met him the day after she'd made the Contract, and -]
[Hatsune Miku-san! Did anybody ever tell you you have the aura of a star? ]
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-27 03:18 am (UTC)"Ah, really?" Miku blinked and smiled at the manager
"you certainly do! everyone thinks yso after they saw your demon tape. I'm glad our recording company recieved it!And since you're a fresh face in this business, I'm going to do my best to help the world see your shine!"
Soon after Miku released her first single. "Good news Miku! People love you, it's a hit!" So her popularity and fame grew, she was a star!
One day her soul gem flickered a bit and she sensed a presence that can only be described as dark. "what's going on?" the gem seemed to be pulling her towards an alleyway "could this be for one of those witches Kyubey told me about?"
"yes, it is a witch presernce" two girls showed up, one was a girl about her age wearing a ribboned smock and a beret and carying an art kit, the other was a litte girl with a red and blue tutu and striped stocking and stars in her fluffy hair "Oh hey, aren't you Hatsune Miku? You're one of us?"
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-27 04:09 am (UTC)...Oh! So you're all Magical Girls, too?
[Miku smiled, and bowed to all of them.]
- Yes, yes I am!
...Well, whatever, whatever -
[The Magical Girl in the smock grinned, waving a paintbrush.]
- Introductions can wait for later - First, we fight the Witch!
[The Magical Girl in the tutu laughed, then.]
...Yeah, we're in luck - There's more than one Witch in this Witch Barrier, if I haven't misread things - We could probably get 2 Grief Seeds if we manage to deal with them, or even more!
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-27 04:18 am (UTC)"Huh? Grief seeds? what are those?" [Miku asked curiosuly as she followed the two other girls]
"They're the dark remainders that a witch leaves behind when she is defeated" ]the girl in the smock responded]
"ok. And why does she sound excited about it?"
"Brecause grief seeds we collect are used to rrestore our magical energy, so they're very useful!"
"Oh. Yes, it does sound good" they go in. the girl in the smock soon come to a stop at a wall and waves her soul gem. a glittering portal opens,. "here we are. the wicth lair. Stay close to me." she goes in, the oother two following. Miku was nervous what kind of figth would this be? she's enevr really fought before. In fact, she's never really tried out her new powers yet either! well, she'll stick close to the other two. Though the little girl in the tutu seemed to young to be a magical herorine. ]
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-10-28 05:28 am (UTC)[The young looking Magical Girl, however, was looking at Miku quizzically as they walked through the Witch Barrier.]
...Oh, cripes. This is your very first Witch hunt, isn't it?
[Miku got red in the face, while the other Magical girl in the smock looked somewhat apprehensive.]
- It is? Yikes!
[And then, she sighed a bit, smiled, and patted Miku's arm.]
...Um. You shouldn't worry, though - Everybody has to start out sometimes, right?
[And then, she looked at the other girl, and shrugged.]
- OK, I changed my mind - We probably do have time enough for introductions after all, as long as we keep it short and sweet.
[And then, she looked back at Miku with a grin.]
...My name is Shirakaba Miyu, and I draw and paint things when I'm not going to school or fighting Witches or whatever.
[The little girl in the tutu sighed at that, and held up something that looked like a magical wand from one of the older Magical Girl mangas or animes, pouting.]
- Sure, fine - My name is Tomioka Maria, and I'm not an 8 year old, jeez...Just stop treating me like a kid, OK? I've been fighting Witches for almost two years, now!
[Miku stared at her, then. So how old was she, anyway?]
...Yeah, yeah, you're almost 11 years old now, which is still a kid by almost anybody's standards, OK?
[The other girl laughed, and then turned back to Miku.]
...And you're Hatsune Miku, yeah, we know, but - Why don't you introduce yourself anyway?
[Miku got red in the face, then.]
- Um - I - My name is Hatsune Miku, and I'm a middle school student and a Idol Singer, and my favorite food is negi! Though leeks are fine, too...
[The other girls laughed at that.]
...What, you really love long onions that much? I thought it was just a gimmick!
[The girl in the smock said, laughing. Miku smiled at her.]
Um, no, I really love them! My parents used to think it was weird, too, I know...
[And then, she remembered her parents, and became a little sad, remembering the accident that had taken their lives. If only they could have seen her like now!]
[And then, Miku looked at the other two girls, and made herself grin brightly.]
...And I'm - I'm going to be the most famous Idol Singer in Japan! I mean, that was my Wish, and...
- Good for you, Miku-san!
[The girl in the smock said, and clapped Miku on the arm.]
...Well, you didn't waste your Wish, at the very least, it seems...
[The younger girl said with a sigh, and then paused, and slowly held up her wand.A small screen blipped in front of her, with many dots of light moving about.]
- Uh, oh - There's no more time for talk, now! Familiars incoming!
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-11-04 05:21 am (UTC)"Familiars are a witche's minions that she creates" [Miyu explained as she took out a large paintbrush from her art kit. What looked like deformed cartoon hamsters scurried up to them. she twirled her paintbrush sernding out globs of magic paint as an attack. Maria skipped along and shot out stars from her wand at the familiars.
Miku focused on bringing up an attack. squares of energy crackling electricty formed around her hands]"Ah! cool!" She shout out energy atatcks at the familiars. eventually they got rid of the swarm of fmailairs in the area] "We did it!"
"We did! good job girls! But it's not over yet Miku, we still need to find her witch herself. Let's go." and off they went through the labyrinth. Finally they came upon the center like a cartoonists studio. The witch was sitting at the desk, drawing. she looked like a female stick figure wearing a beret and polka dotted skirt and big white gloves . "Ah, a kindred spirit in art" Miyu commented
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-11-04 05:45 am (UTC)[The Witch said something to Miyu in Witchspeak, then, and quickly drew a gigantic hole in the ground, and three stick-shaped Magical Girls falling into it.]
[And then, she turned it toward them with a grin!]
[Miyu groaned as the hole formed beneath them, and they began to fall into it, just like in the drawing the Witch had just made.]
...Cripe - Everybody, hold on!
[And then, she grabbed Maria with her left hand and Miku with her right, and began to float them to safety...]
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-11-04 05:57 am (UTC)"whew, that was a close one!"
[Miku eyed the witch] "So witches are western cartoons?"
"Well this one is, but withes come in all shapes and sizes and themes. Hmph, well, two can play at this artistic game! "[e She whipped out her paintbrush again and some more art supplies.
The witch giggled and drew up more of her familars, which materialized into thin air and attackeed] "Miku! Maria! Cover me and take care of the familairs! I'll handle the witch!" [Miyu jumped to the witch and started drawings of her own.]
"right!" Miku and Maria continuied the battle with the familairs.
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-11-05 05:41 am (UTC)[Miku, however, was having a hard time figuring out what her powers were in the first place, much less how to use them in battle.]
- Yikes!
[She said, rolling away from a Familiar's attack in the nick of time. Maria saw Miku roll across the floor and scramble to her feet, and laughed.]
...You've got good instincts, at the very least!
[And then, she paused for a moment.]
......Say, Miku-san - Why don't you try singing to them or something? It might work - I mean, your Wish was to become an Idol Singer, right?
[Aand that was when the Witch jumped away from Miyu, and started to paint again! She moved her brush over a canvas conjured on thin air, and grinned as she showed them a painting of two-mouse-like figures made of thorny roses. One of the figures were supposed to be wearing pants, judging from the siluette, while the other one was supposed to be wearing a skirt and had a bright red rose blooming on "her" head.]
[Miyu groaned as the two mouse-things materialized, too, becoming more "real" by the second.]
- Well, shit!
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-11-08 04:49 am (UTC)[miku had an idea and shot up more magical electrical boxes, entrapping the newly made familiars in them] "There!"
"great job Miku! I'll finish them off!" [Marisa twirled her magical girl wands and shot out a stream of colorful stars, finishing off the familiars, which enploded in a cloud of smoke and the literal words 'poof!']
"Get back here!" [Miyu shot more globs of paint at the witch and drawing up her own painted images to send out to attack.now that the familiars were going, Miku and Marisa jumped in and joined the battle against the witch]
"Ok! I think we're wearing her down!"
Re: The continuation of Path 2
Date: 2015-11-10 05:56 am (UTC)[And then, Maria floated up into the air.]
...OK, then - It's my turn to kick some posterier!
[And then, she spun around, her magic twirling around her - And Miku's jaw dropped as a bright and colorful cartoonish tank appeared in the air! Maria quickly crawled into the magical tank, and grinned bloodthirstily.]
- Final attack grand alpha!
[She said with a grin - And the Witch blew up with a boom, with magical flowers and candies and glitter flying everywhere!]
[Miyu, in the meanwhile, had gotten out of the way of Maria's attack at the very last moment, and was now coughing up a storm, covered with the magical glitter and whatnot.]
...Maria - I've told you and told you to warn me when when you fire any of your final attacks, geez! Are you trying to blow me up with the Witch on purpose?
[Miku grinned, then, as the Witch Barrier started to melt around them.]
...We won!
[And that was when she paused. Most of the Familiars that hadn't been blown up yet were melting away with the Witch Barrier...]
[But at least 3 of them weren't melting away at all. Wait, wait, wait - What in the world was happening!?]
