Sayaka marcche up "hey! you!" [they looked over] "Oh what do you want!" "Stop talking about Miku that way!" [the girl rolled her eyes] "why should d we? it's true anyway! her fifteenn minutes of fame is up! "and what gives you the right to talk so nastily about her, huh!" [sayaka was clenching her fist, longing to throw it into that stuck up girls jerring face!] "Oh? and why don't you make me stop, hm?" [tjhe igrl sneered] "Maybe I will!! I am a hero of justice and protector of the opressesed!" "how corny, what are you some kind of super hero?" the girl pushed her. "Well ho on, lets see your super powers!"
[one stage, miku heard the words and stumbled more, the damage being done. Their words rang in her ears, and her head was swimming in her mind she could hear more people talking about that]
[Miku tried to blink her tears back, remembering when she'd first met her maneger. She hadn't even realized that his wife had given birth already!]
[And then, she remembered the first Magical Girl's she'd met and became friends with, and bit her lip. No, no, she was not going to start bawling right on the stage, she damn well was not, but - ]
[- Why the heck did her Magical Girl buddies keep disappearing, anyway? Oh, of course, she knew that Witch hunting was a dangerous business, but...]
[Backstage]
[And in the meanwhile, Sayaka had pushed back the poofy haired girl, snarling.]
- Well, if you're going to be like that -^
[And Kyosuke blinked as he saw a faint blue aura start to shine over Sayaka's body. Uh, oh...]
...Sayaka! Be careful - She's just a normal girl, remember?
[Aand that was when there was a clatter, and a beautiful girl in a purple dress arrived on the scene!]
- What in the world are you people doing!?
[She said, sounding exasperated indeed.]
...We're supposed to be on the stage in 5 minutes, remember?
[The other girls gawked in her direction.]
- Sa - Sara-san! I'm sorry, I'm sorry - Everything is ready, and we'll be ready to go as soon as Miku-san comes off the stage, I promise!
...I hope you are, everybody. This is supposed to be my - our big chance, remember?
[The beautiful girl called Sara sighed, and then looked at Kyosuke with a smile.]
- Oh! Kyosuke-san! I'd heard your hands were all better now, but it's so good to see the rumors where true...
[finally Miku's snog was done. as she left the stage she could hear some people murmuring about her mis steps. Well, not was her break and Sara's turn to go on...
[Sayaka gawked as she recognized her ] "Sabako!" [Yes, it was Sara Sabako, sayaka's rival in grammar school. what pleasant fate it was to encounter her again!] [Sara smiled coyly at Sayaka[ "Why, Miki san! Long time no see! How's that big musical you were planning, or did you back out on it?" "I did not back out on it, it is on hiatus while I'm in school." "uh0huh. what ever!" [she flipped her hair " At least I alreaydy am achieving my dreams now! you still have a long way to go!" "Well I just got into a scholarship to the egika music academy~ they heard my demos and they loevd it!
[Kyosuke stared at Sayaka at that, his mouth dropping open.]
...Sa - Sayaka??? But -
[Sayaka stared at him - And then, her heart sank as she realized that getting a scholarship to the Academy must have been a dream, too, just like her parents getting the lottery.]
...Uh...Um...But anyway, the Musical is just so totally on! Just you see!
[Sara looked at her, and snickered.]
- Just like your non existant scholarship is, right?
[And then, she stuck her face right near Sayaka's.]
...But anyway, my name as an idol singer is now, Gekkouin Sara, just in case you were wondering. Sabako doesn't really have the right ring, right?
[Sayaka stared at her, then. Gekkouin? And then, she snickered, involuntarily.]
- Gekkouin Sara??? You sound like one of those old fashioned Rival Ojou-sama characters from an old shojo manga or something!
[Sara got red in the face, then.]
...Well, whatever you think about that - It's me and my friends who are going to be on the stage now, not you. So tada, Miki Sayaka-san...
[And then, she smiled at Kyosuke again, brightly.]
- And I'm so glad you're here to see my first real performance on the big stage, Kyosuke-san!
[Kyouskue smiled and nodded pleasantly] "I'm sure you will do well, Sara san. [Sayaka growled and clenched her fists. well, she had something that Sara didn't have now! magic! Hm, perhaps she should use it? well, she ever really practiced her magic out of battle yet. But she'll show Sabako!] [The crowed cheered as Sara came out onto stage, waving brightly and full of energy. She flickered a nasty smirk as the tired Miku as she passed her. So Sara began her performance. As she listened to her song, Miku started trembling with rage. That was the song Bekane San wrote for her! It wasn't suppsoed to be ready yet, that's why she didn't sing it tonight. But here Sara was perfmorning it! And the crowd loved it, by their cheering and appladung.]
[Miku stared at Sara for a long moment, her magic crackling around her - ]
[And that was when she realized that the blue haired Magical Girl was right near by, and also starting to crackle with magic. The bluehead was glaring at Sara, looking like she wanted to turn her into a gnat or something.]
[Miku stared at her for a long moment, and then her mood deflated. She turned away, went to a corner of the room, muttering to herself. And then, she took her sachet of Grief Seeds out of her pocket, and stuck her Soul Gem to it, grimancing.]
[...Ahh, yes, much better. She shook her head, and put her sachel away. So who cared if that stupid Sara kidnapped her song for now - Miku's first real performance on the stage had come to pass because her Senpai in the agency, Meiko-san, and suddenly gotten ill, after all.]
[...Well, OK, Meiko-san had had a major league hangover problem, but whatever, whatever. And since Meiko-san hadn't gotten hysterical at Miku for "stealing" what should have been her performance...]
[Miku sighed, then, as she saw Sara prance around the stage. Sara couldn't really sing worth a damn, though her dancing wasn't bad, and - People were soo fickle! Even some people with the "I love Miku!" T-shirt were waving their batons to Sara now...]
[And then, she looked at her sachel, and grimanced.]
[...There were only two Grief Seeds that weren't used up left, bedamnit. She shuddered, then - Was she even capable of functioning without the Grief Seeds to clean up her Soul Gem, now?]
[And then, an awful, awful thought striked her.]
[What if she couldn't stop being a Magical Girl at all?]
[...so it really was like a drug after all. she sighed. he saw the blue haired girl that was with Mami Tomoe the other day. Right, he had defended her against sara. She might as well thank her for it. she made her way over to Sayaka, who was waiting for Kyosuke, who was getting them some refreshments.] "...hey." [miku sat down next to sayaka, looking down a bit. sayaka blinked. Miku hatsune was talking to her? ] "..hey." "Listen, about the other day. after the witch fight.. I'm sorry for the way I acted. I wans't fully in my right mind at the moment." "oh. Um, it's ok." [oh good, so Miku wans't really a jerk after all.] [Miku noticed the silver ring on Sayaka's finger and knew what it meant[ "...So. you finally made the contract. Well, I hope, it was worth it." "um, yes, It was. I got my wish" [Did she? Well, Kysouke was cured, and he liked her. But, what about the other wishes? Was that just a dream? Why was she blanking out at times?] [Miku sighed] "I don't regret making my wish. I mean, this is what I also wanted. to be an idol and sing. But, this magical girl part, it was cool at firest but, it's really stressful, and cutting into my life and career...
[And then, Miku blinked, and looked at Sayaka again.]
...Hey - Was it you who came to my door today with Kyubey?
[And then, she flushed.]
- Sorry - I was so annoyed at seeing the little creep, I didn't even recognize you!
[Sayaka smiled, and patted her on the arm.]
...Hey, it's OK, being an idol singer must be pretty stressfull all by itself, right?
[And then, she nodded at the stage, where Sara was taking her bows.]
- Don't worry, Miku-san - You'll always be a 1000 times better a singer then Sara the non-musical, I'm sure, though that's setting the bar pretty darn low...
[Miku nodded at that.]
...Sara-san can't really sing worth a damn, sure, but that's not really that important, actually - She does have what's called the aura of a star, I think, even though I didn't want to admit it. There're plenty of gimmicks to make your singing sound better then it really is nowadays, while it's almost impossible to fake a "star aura".
[And then, Sara's performance was over. Sara came rushing to the backstage, a big grin on her face.]
- Ha ha ha! I did it - Everybody loved me! Take that, Hatsune Miku -
[And then, she realized that Miku herself was right there, and closed her mouth, looking rather embarrassed.]
...Sure, fine. Congrats, Sara-san.
[Miku said, listlessly - But then, she sneered right at Sara.]
- Maybe one day, you could even get enough fans of your own to fill a big concert hall like this one for your own concert!
"Oh, I already have" [Sara sneered and left.] [Miku sighed and sat down glumly. How she hated that sara... she winced as she soul gem throbbed again. o, she ddn't regret her wish.. but she regreted beign a magical girl maybe... as she saw a painting a thought suddenly came to her mind. she was suddenly reminded of one of her magical girl 'friends' Miyu. She was an artist. Hm, she hadnt heard form her in a while. whatever happened with her? last she heard of Miyu was an article in the newspaper about her latest art showing and the scandal involved that she other artists work and claimed them as her own, and the mental breakdown she had. Poor Miyu. Miku knew she had pride as an artist but didn't figure she was the type to plagiarize... she frowned at Kyubey who had appeared beside her] "What happened to Miyu anyway?" she found herself asking him as she got up to go back onstage "Miyu has already made the transition." he informed, follwing her [she paused[ "...what transition?" "the one all magical girls eventually make"
[Sayaka, in the meanwhile, had stuck out her tongue after the retreating Sara.]
...It your dreams, you can of mackerel! I bet there's only about one fan of yours in a hundred in the audience out there!
[Sara glared at her when she heard that particular nickname - It came from her name, as "saba" meant "mackerel" - but then, went out of the room with a sniff.]
[And then, her face changed as she saw Miku's manager come down the corridors.]
...Sawaki-saaan! Did you see, did you see? They loved me!
[Sara said, nearly dancing around the tall man with the glasses.]
- Of course they did, Sara-chan - I knew you could do it?
[Sawaki said warmly, while Sayaka almost facepalmed. Wasn't that man supposed to be Miku's manager? He'd been interviewed for a couple of magazine articles, and Sayaka had remembered his name.]
[And then, she overheard what Kyubey and Miku talking to each other, and froze for a moment, her eyes wide.]
What happened to Miyu anyway?
[Miku had said, as she pushed her hair out of her way.]
Miyu has already made the transition.
[Kyubey had said, following her.]
"...What transition?"
[Miku had asked, and then, Kyubey had smiled. Sayaka shuddered - She'd never seen Kyubey smile like this! And then, she paused - Why hadn't she ever realized how fake Kyubey's normal smiles looked, anyway?]
The one all magical girls eventually make.
[Miku stared at the Kyubey, but then, her maneger came up to her.]
...Miku-chan! Come on, stop staring at the wall, please. - You have a concert to star in, remember?
[He said, with a more then slightly forced smile. Miku stared at him for a long moment, and then shook herself, visibly.]
- Yeah, right. Sorry, Sawaki-san.
[And then, Miku went back on stage while her fans cheered!]
...I'm back, everybody!
[And her fans cheered back -]
- Welcome back, Miku-saaan!
[Sayaka, in the meanwhile, was staring at the Kyubey.]
...What the. Hell. Do you mean, Kyubey!
[The Kyubey smiled again, then, and this time, it was his normal empty smile. Sayaka took a step back, then, as that was somehow even scarier then the smile from hell he'd just given to Miku.]
[And then, Kyubey raised his voice with a smile.]
- All Magical Girls turn into Witches, if they don't die first. That is their destiny.
....Females who have yet to become adults are called girls on this planet, right? A girl grows up, and turns into a women, if she doesn't die first.
And that's why you Puella Magi are called Magical Girls - You'll all going to turn into Witches eventually, after all!
[miku was already into her routine as she heard Kyubeys explanation, and his words caused her to grind to a halt. "..what,,, witches...?" "Prciesly miku hatune. " [kyubey answered.] "and now, you are making the transition." "no... it can't be..." [but it was making sense now. and now, this was happening to her...no... she was so stupid... ..but would it really be so bad, a voice in her mind said. was it her voice? she didn't need this world anymore. she could be in her own world,,, he gem blacked and cracked...ok...she gave up... she heard giggling and looked up as, in her vision at least, the twins floated down to her, wearing little angel wings and halos, and carrying a television.... her gem finally broke and reformed into a grief seed with a winged box emblem on it... her hair turned lank and black,, her bangs covering her eyes. her skin got a wooden texture and her joints become ball jointed like a dolls, and she stepped inside the television. All these memories, displayed on the monitors..they were nice. but whre did they come from? who was she? her name, right. it was kirsten. though checking her monitor, she also went by Elly. She wanted to stay in her box, and see more memories..
[And in the meanwhile, in the back of the concert area...]
[Rin had thrown up a magical shield to protect Len and their mother. The dark magic was swirling up and up toward the skies, blowing the roof of the concert and performance hall away. Rin bit her lip as she heard screams from the amusement park section outside, wondering how the heck the damn Incubators were planning to hush this little fiasco up - ]
[And then, the entire concert hall seemed to go sideways, and get pulled into a dark swirling space!]
...Oh, damn...
[Rin muttered, and then looked at her mother and brother, who were still both staring in the direction Miku had been just a few moments ago, their faces white.]
[There still was a stage in front of them, and it looked eeriely normal - Except that their was now a gigantic TV in the middle of it, and lots and lots of screens floating around it.]
[And most of the audience were slumping over in their seats, but about 10 to 15 people, not counting the Magical Girls, seemed to be awake. A rather chubby man in a I Love Miku T-shirt was clutching one of his batons, staring at the stage with tears in his eyes.]
- Miku-chan, Miku-chan, noooo!
[Rin stared, then, as the baton in the man's hand glowed faintly. Oh, so he was one of the naturally magical ones, then? He didn't feel like he was very high powered at all, buuut.]
[Madoka found herself floating in a dark space.]
(- Kaname Madoka! Madoka, please wake up - This is an emergency, all right?)
...What the heck, Kyubey...Stop pushing me around!
[She mumbled - And then, she opened her eyes with a groan -]
[- And then, she closed them again, quickly. The red eyed critter was sitting right on top of her, and behind him was - ]
[...This was a Witch Barrier. They were stuck inside a bloody Witch Barrier - And so was everybody else in the audience!]
...Oh, frag.
[Madoka said, and pushed the Kyubey off her, trying to get to her feet.]
- Kyubey, Kyubey, what in the world did you do!?!?
[The Kyubey stared at her, and then at Mami, who was still staring at the stage, her face frozen.]
[And then, he turned back to Madoka with his normal empty smile.]
...What I did isn't very important at all, now, I don't think!
[Kyubey's red eyes were twinkling now, Madoka realized faintly.]
- Kaname Madoka, I think this would be a very good time to make a Contract with me and become a Magical Girl.
[And then, he hopped up to Madoka, and tilted his head.]
...I mean, you really have an amazing amount of potential - I've never met anybody like you, to be honest!
[And then, he looked around them. Most of the people were slumped in their seats, but some were awake, and a chubby young man was staring at the stage, tears running down his face.]
- I'm not supposed to make suggestions about Wishes, but I'm sure you're already getting all kinds of ideas about what should be done now.
[And then, his smile became sly.]
...The sky's the limit, Madoka - You can make everything better. All you have to do is make a Contract with me, and become a Magical Girl!
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Sayaka came to her senses, and found herself in her Magical Girl garb. She grabbed her sword, and forced herself up from the floor, groaning.]
[...And then, she remembered everything.]
...Kyuuubeeeeyyyyy!
[The blue magic crackled around her, and swirled up to the ceiling...]
[Mami ran up to madoka, full of worry. She did not witness Miku's transformation into witchhood. All she knew is that a witch suddenly attacked the concert and drew it into a barier. It must be the same one she sensed earlier.] "Madoka! Kyubey! are you all right?" [Kyubey looked up at mami] "Mami, a new witch has hatched!" "yes, I know. I shall deal with it!" [Kyubey finally oticed the now mini witches inside Mami's bag, who were wriggling and chirpring, sensing their new sister] "Mami, why do you have altered witches in your bag?" "Oh yes, your friend Nanbei gave me a device that would allow me to tame witches! But no time to explain about that now. Come on, Madoka!" "R-right~" Madoka fallowed, glad to be away from Kyubey. Kyubey swished his tail in interest "So number 7. you have finally shown up again... this could be an issue."
[Mami quickly leaned down, and patted the mini Witches head.]
...Shuush, shuush, dearies, calm down now, OK?
[And then, she looked at Madoka, biting her lip.]
...Oh, Madoka-san, this is terrible - I just turned my head away from the stage for a moment, and...
[And then, she looked at the big box and floating screens on the stage, and groaned.]
- I'd felt something was wrong, but the concert was about to begin, and - Poor Miku-san! Maybe this could have been prevented, if I'd checked her dressing room first...
[And in the meanwhile, outside the concert hall...]
[A panting Homura had just arrived. She ran through the open door - And then, stared at the empty hall. There were cans and drinks and pamphlets and fan things littered everywhere, but not a human being in sight - ]
[- And the place stank with the vibes of a new born Witch!]
[And back in the Witch Barrier...]
[Sayaka was now pointing her sword at yet another Kyubey body, her whole body glowing with magic.]
...Kyubey...You...You...
[She grit out, and then licked some blood off her lips, realizing that she must have gotten hurt when she fell.]
[Homura pushed her way through the fainted crowed, finally making her way over to Madoka] "Madoka!" "Homura chan! over here!" Madoka waved. Homura ran up to her while Mami headed over to the witch. "Ar eyou all right?" "Yes, I'm fine..." [meanhile] [Within moments a trickle of music magic healed Sayaka's cut, but her heart was shaking in fear and rage and disbelief] "Damn you, Kyubey.... you, liar..." "I did not lie. it is not within my construct. " [Keyubey replied simply, taking the hits] "It was not information needed to know at the moment. But it's all a perfectly natural part of the magical girl system." [Kyoko was on her way to the witch, but she stopped to watch the scene] "What did that little cretin do this time? and natural cyycle of what?" [she was concerened about the expression on Sayaka's face] "...Kyuoko..." there were tears in sayaa's eyes
...We're not inside the concert hall anymore, Madoka.
[Homura whispered quickly.]
- The real concert hall was filled with fan stuff and pamphelets, but no real people. I had to teleport inside here, and it was hard, like something was trying to block me...
[Madoka looked around at all the unconsious people around them, and groaned.]
...So they're all real people? Oh, no - We have to find some way to save them, Homura-chan!
[And then she thought about Kyubey, and bit her lip. Maybe, just maybe, if she could think of the right Wish - ]
[And in the meanwhile, Sayaka was almost crying.]
...That Akemi girl was telling the truth, and so was Madoka - Magical Girls all - We all turn into Witches, in the end! That's what Kyubey said!
[The Kyubey looked up at both of them, and tilted his head - And then, his smile went dark and cold.]
- Well, unless you people die first, that is, but I do hope it doesn't come to that - I get a great deal of extra energy when a Magical Girl goes Witch, you see!
"Once the witch is defeated, they should be freed. But what matters is that you're safe, Madoka. and that you stay safe" [Homura picked up Madoka and leapt behind the seats to hide her.] "Homura.. what just happened..." [Madoka was tearful] "the witch that just appeared... It's Miku xhan, isn't it" "It used to be Miku Hastune, yes. Now she has fallen." "Poor poor Miku chan. Isn't there anything we can do for her? There must" "Unfortunately there isn't. Once a magical girl goes witch, its over. They're trapped, monstrous, lost in their own despair..." [meanwhile] [And Kyouko stared at that, shocked. then her face darkened] "...you little shit,..." [she ran Kyubey through with her spear] "I just knew there was something more to it!!!"
"Miku..."[ Sayaka] noticed that Miku still had doll joints and black hair] "Did it work?" "Somewhat.... my mind is clearer, for now... sorry about this..." "Don't be. That Kyuybey tricked us!" "I know. I hope he pays for it... but I still went crazy and all..." she sighed "But you're all right now?" "like I said, yes for now but I know it won't last. now I got to figure out what to do now. Do I go on being a witch, or should I have you end me..." "But why didn't it work!" "Don't tell me, you tried the infinite wishes thing?" Kyoko rolled her eyes "you really are a moron! Wishes aren't that easy, and it just takes the value out of it if you cheat like that. So thats why its probably not working! "But my wishes did work!" didn't they? Kyosuke was cured, but the others, well did she only dream of it? And, if she did wish not go witch, would it still work at all? What would she end up as? She felt sickened]
[One of the Kyubeys said, with his normal empty grin.]
- Miki Sayaka's wishes will mostly keep on working just fine, as long as she'd in this mini-world her original Wish created, and she doesn't run out of energy.
[Kyoko glared at them, wondering which one to stamp on first - ]
[- And that was when two Kyosukes arrived on the scene, both at once!]
...Sayaka!
[The one in the fancy suit said, and then gave her a hug.]
- Don't worry - Everything will be all right now, now that's I'm here...
[The other Kyosuke - who was wearing jeans and a T-shirt - shook his head with a groan.]
...No, no, no - I don't think so, really I don't.
[And that was when Kyoko blinked.]
- Hey, wait - So if Sayaka just makes a wish so all the people in the audience get sent back, safe and sound?
[Sayaka looked at her dully, and gently pulled herself out of the arms of the Kyosuke who was hugging her.]
...OK, sure, we can try that - I wish that the unconsious people get sent back to the normal world, right now soonest.
[And then - All the unconcious people were gone, along with their belongings, just like that.]
[And then, Sayaka put her hands to her face. She couldn't cry. Not yet.]
"Well, at least they're safe now. They won't be hurt by me anymore..." Miku, or was her name Kirsten Elly now, sighed and sat down, looking at her tv monitor morosely. her twin familiars she had conjured up, now ball joined dolls with little wings and halos, flitted around. Sayaka sank to a seat, tears thereatining to fall. She had sent the real Kyosuke back for his own safety, but the dream version she had creature sat nearby trying to comfort her. Kyoko shoved him off and looked down at Sayaka, full of concern "...you ok?" "i-it's all been a lie..." Sayaka sniffled "Even this. it's an illusion my wish ended up creating... I, I don't know what to do anymore! I'm going become the very monster I thought I was fighting! Even if I wished that I wouldn't, it would only last as long as I remain here in this dream,,,,
[One of the Kyubeys giggled at that, getting a very odd look from the other one.]
...But Miki Sayaka! That doesn't have to be a problem at all if you never leave your mini-world, correct?
[The two Kyubeys looked at each other, then, exchanging thoughts and images. It was too bad that Miki Sayaka's mini-world wasn't really stable enough for them to consider moving at least part of their operation into it on a semi-permanent basis, but they probably could get some useful data from this little debacle, anyway.]
- Of course, there is the not so minor problem that you might fall to despair anyway, or just plain run out of enough energy to sustain the mini-world, but whatever, whatever - That doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon, in either case!
[The other Kyubey said, then - And then, they both turned around, and looked toward Madoka, their red eyes glittering. Exploring the possibilities of those mini-universes the Puella Magi sometimes produced was interesting and important in it's own right, they were pretty sure, but for now, dealing with Kaname Madoka was much higher on their priority list.]
[And that was when there was a cough, and Rin arrived on the scene.]
...Hey, you, bluehead. I do appreciate you sending my Mom back home, I must admit, but -
[And then, she gestured toward the blonde boy coming up just behind her.]
- Couldn't you send my brother home as well?
[Len glared at her, then, and also glared at the other girls there as well for good measure.]
...Don't you dare, Rin! And the rest of you, as well!
[And inside Kirsten Elly's little box space...]
[The two Familiars looked at each other, their ball joints clacking.]
[Madoka was still hiding behind the stands, Homura looked up, sening something had changed in the atmosphere around. It was not like that of a witch barrier either, but she could sense Sayaka's magic within it. Hmmm,,,
[Kyoko looked up from sayaka and glared at Rin] "Hold on a minute, can't you see she needs a break damn it!" "And where's Miku?" Len asked "Looks like she's sulking right over there." Kyouko pointed. Len nodded and ran over, looking inside the box "Miku?" ",,,Len..." she monaed, not looking up at him "I'm sorry about this... "It's ok. Its not your fault." "You shoulld get away form me... I'm a witch now...I coul hurt you...
[Len said, and then took a deep breath, and hugged Miku / Elly, while the Familiars clacked agitatedly at them.]
[Sayaka, in the meanwhile, was sitting down on the floor again, as she suddenly got dizzy again. Why did she keep feeling so faint, all of a sudden? It was like something was draining her energies away by the truckload or something!]
[Miku / Elly gently hugged Len back, and then moved away from him.]
- I think - I think I should -
[And then, her face dropped.]
...Being a Witch is really horrible, Len - It's like being trapped in a nightmare of your own making that never goes away...
[And then, she reached up with a jointed hand, and patted his face.]
- Don't ever make a Contract and become a Magical Boy, Len. OK?
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Rin was biting her lip. If only there was a way to actually turn Miku back into a normal human girl...]
[But she'd seen people who tried to do that too in her past life, and it had never worked in the way they'd wanted it to.]
[And that was when a voice started up in her head. Rin shook her head.]
...Huh? Oh, Eight? Yeah, I do remember you, but...
[And then, she blinked.]
- You gave Tomoe Mami a what!?
[And then, she spun around. Oh, she had no idea if using any version of the Music Box Thing was the right thing to do, to be honest, but - Where the heck was the Tomoe girl, anyway!?]
"Woah, hey Sayaka!" [Kyouko knelt by her, arm wrapepd aorund to support her] "Come on, hang in there! Weren't you saying that you were strong and all? I know you are!
"I dopn't plan to, Miku." he stroked her hand "Good..." she smiled sadly. She could hear the witch speak nearby, an could understand ut. Huh, there were witches nearby here? the little pink plushie witch totddled up to her, looking at her curiously. Miku blinked, and responded in the witch language ]"I remember you. I fought and defeated you before, didn't I? I'm, soryr about that. now that I know who you really are. Though what are you doing here?" "Bebe, please don't run off like that." Mami walked up, pointing her rifle at Miku/Kirsten Elly. She nodded at Len "get away from the witch!" "Wait, you don't understand!" Len stood in front of the witch protectively "Don't hurt her! It's Miku!
Re: The continuation of Path 1 -2
Date: 2015-10-27 04:30 am (UTC)[they looked over] "Oh what do you want!"
"Stop talking about Miku that way!"
[the girl rolled her eyes] "why should d we? it's true anyway! her fifteenn minutes of fame is up!
"and what gives you the right to talk so nastily about her, huh!" [sayaka was clenching her fist, longing to throw it into that stuck up girls jerring face!]
"Oh? and why don't you make me stop, hm?" [tjhe igrl sneered]
"Maybe I will!! I am a hero of justice and protector of the opressesed!"
"how corny, what are you some kind of super hero?" the girl pushed her. "Well ho on, lets see your super powers!"
[one stage, miku heard the words and stumbled more, the damage being done. Their words rang in her ears, and her head was swimming in her mind she could hear more people talking about that]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-10-27 04:46 am (UTC)[Miku tried to blink her tears back, remembering when she'd first met her maneger. She hadn't even realized that his wife had given birth already!]
[And then, she remembered the first Magical Girl's she'd met and became friends with, and bit her lip. No, no, she was not going to start bawling right on the stage, she damn well was not, but - ]
[- Why the heck did her Magical Girl buddies keep disappearing, anyway? Oh, of course, she knew that Witch hunting was a dangerous business, but...]
[Backstage]
[And in the meanwhile, Sayaka had pushed back the poofy haired girl, snarling.]
- Well, if you're going to be like that -^
[And Kyosuke blinked as he saw a faint blue aura start to shine over Sayaka's body. Uh, oh...]
...Sayaka! Be careful - She's just a normal girl, remember?
[Aand that was when there was a clatter, and a beautiful girl in a purple dress arrived on the scene!]
- What in the world are you people doing!?
[She said, sounding exasperated indeed.]
...We're supposed to be on the stage in 5 minutes, remember?
[The other girls gawked in her direction.]
- Sa - Sara-san! I'm sorry, I'm sorry - Everything is ready, and we'll be ready to go as soon as Miku-san comes off the stage, I promise!
...I hope you are, everybody. This is supposed to be my - our big chance, remember?
[The beautiful girl called Sara sighed, and then looked at Kyosuke with a smile.]
- Oh! Kyosuke-san! I'd heard your hands were all better now, but it's so good to see the rumors where true...
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-10-27 04:54 am (UTC)[Sayaka gawked as she recognized her ] "Sabako!" [Yes, it was Sara Sabako, sayaka's rival in grammar school. what pleasant fate it was to encounter her again!]
[Sara smiled coyly at Sayaka[ "Why, Miki san! Long time no see! How's that big musical you were planning, or did you back out on it?"
"I did not back out on it, it is on hiatus while I'm in school."
"uh0huh. what ever!" [she flipped her hair " At least I alreaydy am achieving my dreams now! you still have a long way to go!"
"Well I just got into a scholarship to the egika music academy~ they heard my demos and they loevd it!
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-10-27 05:07 am (UTC)...Sa - Sayaka??? But -
[Sayaka stared at him - And then, her heart sank as she realized that getting a scholarship to the Academy must have been a dream, too, just like her parents getting the lottery.]
...Uh...Um...But anyway, the Musical is just so totally on! Just you see!
[Sara looked at her, and snickered.]
- Just like your non existant scholarship is, right?
[And then, she stuck her face right near Sayaka's.]
...But anyway, my name as an idol singer is now, Gekkouin Sara, just in case you were wondering. Sabako doesn't really have the right ring, right?
[Sayaka stared at her, then. Gekkouin? And then, she snickered, involuntarily.]
- Gekkouin Sara??? You sound like one of those old fashioned Rival Ojou-sama characters from an old shojo manga or something!
[Sara got red in the face, then.]
...Well, whatever you think about that - It's me and my friends who are going to be on the stage now, not you. So tada, Miki Sayaka-san...
[And then, she smiled at Kyosuke again, brightly.]
- And I'm so glad you're here to see my first real performance on the big stage, Kyosuke-san!
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-10-28 11:05 pm (UTC)[Sayaka growled and clenched her fists. well, she had something that Sara didn't have now! magic! Hm, perhaps she should use it? well, she ever really practiced her magic out of battle yet. But she'll show Sabako!]
[The crowed cheered as Sara came out onto stage, waving brightly and full of energy. She flickered a nasty smirk as the tired Miku as she passed her. So Sara began her performance. As she listened to her song, Miku started trembling with rage. That was the song Bekane San wrote for her! It wasn't suppsoed to be ready yet, that's why she didn't sing it tonight. But here Sara was perfmorning it! And the crowd loved it, by their cheering and appladung.]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-10-31 07:06 am (UTC)[And that was when she realized that the blue haired Magical Girl was right near by, and also starting to crackle with magic. The bluehead was glaring at Sara, looking like she wanted to turn her into a gnat or something.]
[Miku stared at her for a long moment, and then her mood deflated. She turned away, went to a corner of the room, muttering to herself. And then, she took her sachet of Grief Seeds out of her pocket, and stuck her Soul Gem to it, grimancing.]
[...Ahh, yes, much better. She shook her head, and put her sachel away. So who cared if that stupid Sara kidnapped her song for now - Miku's first real performance on the stage had come to pass because her Senpai in the agency, Meiko-san, and suddenly gotten ill, after all.]
[...Well, OK, Meiko-san had had a major league hangover problem, but whatever, whatever. And since Meiko-san hadn't gotten hysterical at Miku for "stealing" what should have been her performance...]
[Miku sighed, then, as she saw Sara prance around the stage. Sara couldn't really sing worth a damn, though her dancing wasn't bad, and - People were soo fickle! Even some people with the "I love Miku!" T-shirt were waving their batons to Sara now...]
[And then, she looked at her sachel, and grimanced.]
[...There were only two Grief Seeds that weren't used up left, bedamnit. She shuddered, then - Was she even capable of functioning without the Grief Seeds to clean up her Soul Gem, now?]
[And then, an awful, awful thought striked her.]
[What if she couldn't stop being a Magical Girl at all?]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-02 05:38 am (UTC)"...hey." [miku sat down next to sayaka, looking down a bit.
sayaka blinked. Miku hatsune was talking to her? ] "..hey."
"Listen, about the other day. after the witch fight.. I'm sorry for the way I acted. I wans't fully in my right mind at the moment."
"oh. Um, it's ok." [oh good, so Miku wans't really a jerk after all.]
[Miku noticed the silver ring on Sayaka's finger and knew what it meant[ "...So. you finally made the contract. Well, I hope, it was worth it."
"um, yes, It was. I got my wish" [Did she? Well, Kysouke was cured, and he liked her. But, what about the other wishes? Was that just a dream? Why was she blanking out at times?]
[Miku sighed] "I don't regret making my wish. I mean, this is what I also wanted. to be an idol and sing. But, this magical girl part, it was cool at firest but, it's really stressful, and cutting into my life and career...
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-02 06:35 am (UTC)...Hey - Was it you who came to my door today with Kyubey?
[And then, she flushed.]
- Sorry - I was so annoyed at seeing the little creep, I didn't even recognize you!
[Sayaka smiled, and patted her on the arm.]
...Hey, it's OK, being an idol singer must be pretty stressfull all by itself, right?
[And then, she nodded at the stage, where Sara was taking her bows.]
- Don't worry, Miku-san - You'll always be a 1000 times better a singer then Sara the non-musical, I'm sure, though that's setting the bar pretty darn low...
[Miku nodded at that.]
...Sara-san can't really sing worth a damn, sure, but that's not really that important, actually - She does have what's called the aura of a star, I think, even though I didn't want to admit it. There're plenty of gimmicks to make your singing sound better then it really is nowadays, while it's almost impossible to fake a "star aura".
[And then, Sara's performance was over. Sara came rushing to the backstage, a big grin on her face.]
- Ha ha ha! I did it - Everybody loved me! Take that, Hatsune Miku -
[And then, she realized that Miku herself was right there, and closed her mouth, looking rather embarrassed.]
...Sure, fine. Congrats, Sara-san.
[Miku said, listlessly - But then, she sneered right at Sara.]
- Maybe one day, you could even get enough fans of your own to fill a big concert hall like this one for your own concert!
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-07 03:37 am (UTC)[Miku sighed and sat down glumly. How she hated that sara... she winced as she soul gem throbbed again. o, she ddn't regret her wish.. but she regreted beign a magical girl maybe... as she saw a painting a thought suddenly came to her mind. she was suddenly reminded of one of her magical girl 'friends' Miyu. She was an artist. Hm, she hadnt heard form her in a while. whatever happened with her? last she heard of Miyu was an article in the newspaper about her latest art showing and the scandal involved that she other artists work and claimed them as her own, and the mental breakdown she had. Poor Miyu. Miku knew she had pride as an artist but didn't figure she was the type to plagiarize... she frowned at Kyubey who had appeared beside her] "What happened to Miyu anyway?" she found herself asking him as she got up to go back onstage
"Miyu has already made the transition." he informed, follwing her
[she paused[ "...what transition?"
"the one all magical girls eventually make"
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-07 04:34 am (UTC)...It your dreams, you can of mackerel! I bet there's only about one fan of yours in a hundred in the audience out there!
[Sara glared at her when she heard that particular nickname - It came from her name, as "saba" meant "mackerel" - but then, went out of the room with a sniff.]
[And then, her face changed as she saw Miku's manager come down the corridors.]
...Sawaki-saaan! Did you see, did you see? They loved me!
[Sara said, nearly dancing around the tall man with the glasses.]
- Of course they did, Sara-chan - I knew you could do it?
[Sawaki said warmly, while Sayaka almost facepalmed. Wasn't that man supposed to be Miku's manager? He'd been interviewed for a couple of magazine articles, and Sayaka had remembered his name.]
[And then, she overheard what Kyubey and Miku talking to each other, and froze for a moment, her eyes wide.]
What happened to Miyu anyway?
[Miku had said, as she pushed her hair out of her way.]
Miyu has already made the transition.
[Kyubey had said, following her.]
"...What transition?"
[Miku had asked, and then, Kyubey had smiled. Sayaka shuddered - She'd never seen Kyubey smile like this! And then, she paused - Why hadn't she ever realized how fake Kyubey's normal smiles looked, anyway?]
The one all magical girls eventually make.
[Miku stared at the Kyubey, but then, her maneger came up to her.]
...Miku-chan! Come on, stop staring at the wall, please. - You have a concert to star in, remember?
[He said, with a more then slightly forced smile. Miku stared at him for a long moment, and then shook herself, visibly.]
- Yeah, right. Sorry, Sawaki-san.
[And then, Miku went back on stage while her fans cheered!]
...I'm back, everybody!
[And her fans cheered back -]
- Welcome back, Miku-saaan!
[Sayaka, in the meanwhile, was staring at the Kyubey.]
...What the. Hell. Do you mean, Kyubey!
[The Kyubey smiled again, then, and this time, it was his normal empty smile. Sayaka took a step back, then, as that was somehow even scarier then the smile from hell he'd just given to Miku.]
[And then, Kyubey raised his voice with a smile.]
- All Magical Girls turn into Witches, if they don't die first. That is their destiny.
....Females who have yet to become adults are called girls on this planet, right? A girl grows up, and turns into a women, if she doesn't die first.
And that's why you Puella Magi are called Magical Girls - You'll all going to turn into Witches eventually, after all!
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-07 05:11 am (UTC)"..what,,, witches...?"
"Prciesly miku hatune. " [kyubey answered.] "and now, you are making the transition."
"no... it can't be..." [but it was making sense now. and now, this was happening to her...no... she was so stupid...
..but would it really be so bad, a voice in her mind said. was it her voice? she didn't need this world anymore. she could be in her own world,,, he gem blacked and cracked...ok...she gave up...
she heard giggling and looked up as, in her vision at least, the twins floated down to her, wearing little angel wings and halos, and carrying a television.... her gem finally broke and reformed into a grief seed with a winged box emblem on it... her hair turned lank and black,, her bangs covering her eyes. her skin got a wooden texture and her joints become ball jointed like a dolls, and she stepped inside the television.
All these memories, displayed on the monitors..they were nice. but whre did they come from? who was she? her name, right. it was kirsten. though checking her monitor, she also went by Elly.
She wanted to stay in her box, and see more memories..
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-08 06:00 am (UTC)[Rin had thrown up a magical shield to protect Len and their mother. The dark magic was swirling up and up toward the skies, blowing the roof of the concert and performance hall away. Rin bit her lip as she heard screams from the amusement park section outside, wondering how the heck the damn Incubators were planning to hush this little fiasco up - ]
[And then, the entire concert hall seemed to go sideways, and get pulled into a dark swirling space!]
...Oh, damn...
[Rin muttered, and then looked at her mother and brother, who were still both staring in the direction Miku had been just a few moments ago, their faces white.]
[There still was a stage in front of them, and it looked eeriely normal - Except that their was now a gigantic TV in the middle of it, and lots and lots of screens floating around it.]
[And most of the audience were slumping over in their seats, but about 10 to 15 people, not counting the Magical Girls, seemed to be awake. A rather chubby man in a I Love Miku T-shirt was clutching one of his batons, staring at the stage with tears in his eyes.]
- Miku-chan, Miku-chan, noooo!
[Rin stared, then, as the baton in the man's hand glowed faintly. Oh, so he was one of the naturally magical ones, then? He didn't feel like he was very high powered at all, buuut.]
[Madoka found herself floating in a dark space.]
(- Kaname Madoka! Madoka, please wake up - This is an emergency, all right?)
...What the heck, Kyubey...Stop pushing me around!
[She mumbled - And then, she opened her eyes with a groan -]
[- And then, she closed them again, quickly. The red eyed critter was sitting right on top of her, and behind him was - ]
[...This was a Witch Barrier. They were stuck inside a bloody Witch Barrier - And so was everybody else in the audience!]
...Oh, frag.
[Madoka said, and pushed the Kyubey off her, trying to get to her feet.]
- Kyubey, Kyubey, what in the world did you do!?!?
[The Kyubey stared at her, and then at Mami, who was still staring at the stage, her face frozen.]
[And then, he turned back to Madoka with his normal empty smile.]
...What I did isn't very important at all, now, I don't think!
[Kyubey's red eyes were twinkling now, Madoka realized faintly.]
- Kaname Madoka, I think this would be a very good time to make a Contract with me and become a Magical Girl.
[And then, he hopped up to Madoka, and tilted his head.]
...I mean, you really have an amazing amount of potential - I've never met anybody like you, to be honest!
[And then, he looked around them. Most of the people were slumped in their seats, but some were awake, and a chubby young man was staring at the stage, tears running down his face.]
- I'm not supposed to make suggestions about Wishes, but I'm sure you're already getting all kinds of ideas about what should be done now.
[And then, his smile became sly.]
...The sky's the limit, Madoka - You can make everything better. All you have to do is make a Contract with me, and become a Magical Girl!
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Sayaka came to her senses, and found herself in her Magical Girl garb. She grabbed her sword, and forced herself up from the floor, groaning.]
[...And then, she remembered everything.]
...Kyuuubeeeeyyyyy!
[The blue magic crackled around her, and swirled up to the ceiling...]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-10 06:33 am (UTC)"Madoka! Kyubey! are you all right?"
[Kyubey looked up at mami] "Mami, a new witch has hatched!"
"yes, I know. I shall deal with it!"
[Kyubey finally oticed the now mini witches inside Mami's bag, who were wriggling and chirpring, sensing their new sister] "Mami, why do you have altered witches in your bag?"
"Oh yes, your friend Nanbei gave me a device that would allow me to tame witches! But no time to explain about that now. Come on, Madoka!"
"R-right~" Madoka fallowed, glad to be away from Kyubey.
Kyubey swished his tail in interest "So number 7. you have finally shown up again... this could be an issue."
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-10 06:44 am (UTC)[Mami quickly leaned down, and patted the mini Witches head.]
...Shuush, shuush, dearies, calm down now, OK?
[And then, she looked at Madoka, biting her lip.]
...Oh, Madoka-san, this is terrible - I just turned my head away from the stage for a moment, and...
[And then, she looked at the big box and floating screens on the stage, and groaned.]
- I'd felt something was wrong, but the concert was about to begin, and - Poor Miku-san! Maybe this could have been prevented, if I'd checked her dressing room first...
[And in the meanwhile, outside the concert hall...]
[A panting Homura had just arrived. She ran through the open door - And then, stared at the empty hall. There were cans and drinks and pamphlets and fan things littered everywhere, but not a human being in sight - ]
[- And the place stank with the vibes of a new born Witch!]
[And back in the Witch Barrier...]
[Sayaka was now pointing her sword at yet another Kyubey body, her whole body glowing with magic.]
...Kyubey...You...You...
[She grit out, and then licked some blood off her lips, realizing that she must have gotten hurt when she fell.]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-12 06:07 am (UTC)"Homura chan! over here!" Madoka waved. Homura ran up to her while Mami headed over to the witch. "Ar eyou all right?"
"Yes, I'm fine..."
[meanhile]
[Within moments a trickle of music magic healed Sayaka's cut, but her heart was shaking in fear and rage and disbelief] "Damn you, Kyubey.... you, liar..."
"I did not lie. it is not within my construct. " [Keyubey replied simply, taking the hits] "It was not information needed to know at the moment. But it's all a perfectly natural part of the magical girl system."
[Kyoko was on her way to the witch, but she stopped to watch the scene] "What did that little cretin do this time? and natural cyycle of what?" [she was concerened about the expression on Sayaka's face]
"...Kyuoko..." there were tears in sayaa's eyes
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-12 06:33 am (UTC)[Homura whispered quickly.]
- The real concert hall was filled with fan stuff and pamphelets, but no real people. I had to teleport inside here, and it was hard, like something was trying to block me...
[Madoka looked around at all the unconsious people around them, and groaned.]
...So they're all real people? Oh, no - We have to find some way to save them, Homura-chan!
[And then she thought about Kyubey, and bit her lip. Maybe, just maybe, if she could think of the right Wish - ]
[And in the meanwhile, Sayaka was almost crying.]
...That Akemi girl was telling the truth, and so was Madoka - Magical Girls all - We all turn into Witches, in the end! That's what Kyubey said!
[The Kyubey looked up at both of them, and tilted his head - And then, his smile went dark and cold.]
- Well, unless you people die first, that is, but I do hope it doesn't come to that - I get a great deal of extra energy when a Magical Girl goes Witch, you see!
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-12 06:49 am (UTC)"Homura.. what just happened..." [Madoka was tearful] "the witch that just appeared... It's Miku xhan, isn't it"
"It used to be Miku Hastune, yes. Now she has fallen."
"Poor poor Miku chan. Isn't there anything we can do for her? There must"
"Unfortunately there isn't. Once a magical girl goes witch, its over. They're trapped, monstrous, lost in their own despair..."
[meanwhile]
[And Kyouko stared at that, shocked. then her face darkened] "...you little shit,..." [she ran Kyubey through with her spear] "I just knew there was something more to it!!!"
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-15 05:16 am (UTC)...Will you stop that, Kyoko, please? Spare bodies aren't as cheap as you might think!
[One of them said, while the other one ate the dead Kyubey's body. Kyuppon!]
[And that was when Sayaka shook her head.]
...No, no, no - My Wish was -
[And then, she gave the newly arrived Kyubeys a look of disgust, and turned toward the stage.]
- If my Wish really came true, I should be able to wish for anything, right?
[Sayaka pointed a shaking finger at the stage, and the big box on it.]
...I wish - I wish that Hatsune Miku would stop being a Witch, and turn back into a human girl!
[There was a great crashing sound, then, like the surf breaking - And Sayaka staggered to her knees, feeling very faint all of a sudden.]
[The Kyubeys looked around them, and smiled, then.]
...Oh, very interesting - You seem to have managed to drag Miku's Witch's Witch Barrier right into your mini world, Sayaka!
[Sayaka was feeling so faint she could barely understand what the Kyubey was saying, but she forced herself to stand up anyway.]
- Miku-san! Where is Miku-san?
[And that was when there was a soft sound behind her. Miku was standing behind Sayaka, dressed in the outfit they'd last seen her.]
...Sayaka-san.
[She murmured.]
- I don't think this is going to last very long - But thanks, anyway.
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-15 05:52 am (UTC)"Somewhat.... my mind is clearer, for now... sorry about this..."
"Don't be. That Kyuybey tricked us!"
"I know. I hope he pays for it... but I still went crazy and all..." she sighed
"But you're all right now?"
"like I said, yes for now but I know it won't last. now I got to figure out what to do now. Do I go on being a witch, or should I have you end me..."
"But why didn't it work!"
"Don't tell me, you tried the infinite wishes thing?" Kyoko rolled her eyes "you really are a moron! Wishes aren't that easy, and it just takes the value out of it if you cheat like that. So thats why its probably not working!
"But my wishes did work!" didn't they? Kyosuke was cured, but the others, well did she only dream of it? And, if she did wish not go witch, would it still work at all? What would she end up as? She felt sickened]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-15 06:24 am (UTC)...Oh, it isn't that bad, Sakura Kyoko -
[One of the Kyubeys said, with his normal empty grin.]
- Miki Sayaka's wishes will mostly keep on working just fine, as long as she'd in this mini-world her original Wish created, and she doesn't run out of energy.
[Kyoko glared at them, wondering which one to stamp on first - ]
[- And that was when two Kyosukes arrived on the scene, both at once!]
...Sayaka!
[The one in the fancy suit said, and then gave her a hug.]
- Don't worry - Everything will be all right now, now that's I'm here...
[The other Kyosuke - who was wearing jeans and a T-shirt - shook his head with a groan.]
...No, no, no - I don't think so, really I don't.
[And that was when Kyoko blinked.]
- Hey, wait - So if Sayaka just makes a wish so all the people in the audience get sent back, safe and sound?
[Sayaka looked at her dully, and gently pulled herself out of the arms of the Kyosuke who was hugging her.]
...OK, sure, we can try that - I wish that the unconsious people get sent back to the normal world, right now soonest.
[And then - All the unconcious people were gone, along with their belongings, just like that.]
[And then, Sayaka put her hands to her face. She couldn't cry. Not yet.]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-17 06:57 am (UTC)Sayaka sank to a seat, tears thereatining to fall. She had sent the real Kyosuke back for his own safety, but the dream version she had creature sat nearby trying to comfort her. Kyoko shoved him off and looked down at Sayaka, full of concern "...you ok?"
"i-it's all been a lie..." Sayaka sniffled "Even this. it's an illusion my wish ended up creating... I, I don't know what to do anymore! I'm going become the very monster I thought I was fighting! Even if I wished that I wouldn't, it would only last as long as I remain here in this dream,,,,
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-19 05:39 am (UTC)...But Miki Sayaka! That doesn't have to be a problem at all if you never leave your mini-world, correct?
[The two Kyubeys looked at each other, then, exchanging thoughts and images. It was too bad that Miki Sayaka's mini-world wasn't really stable enough for them to consider moving at least part of their operation into it on a semi-permanent basis, but they probably could get some useful data from this little debacle, anyway.]
- Of course, there is the not so minor problem that you might fall to despair anyway, or just plain run out of enough energy to sustain the mini-world, but whatever, whatever - That doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon, in either case!
[The other Kyubey said, then - And then, they both turned around, and looked toward Madoka, their red eyes glittering. Exploring the possibilities of those mini-universes the Puella Magi sometimes produced was interesting and important in it's own right, they were pretty sure, but for now, dealing with Kaname Madoka was much higher on their priority list.]
[And that was when there was a cough, and Rin arrived on the scene.]
...Hey, you, bluehead. I do appreciate you sending my Mom back home, I must admit, but -
[And then, she gestured toward the blonde boy coming up just behind her.]
- Couldn't you send my brother home as well?
[Len glared at her, then, and also glared at the other girls there as well for good measure.]
...Don't you dare, Rin! And the rest of you, as well!
[And inside Kirsten Elly's little box space...]
[The two Familiars looked at each other, their ball joints clacking.]
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-19 06:06 am (UTC)[Kyoko looked up from sayaka and glared at Rin] "Hold on a minute, can't you see she needs a break damn it!"
"And where's Miku?" Len asked
"Looks like she's sulking right over there." Kyouko pointed.
Len nodded and ran over, looking inside the box "Miku?"
",,,Len..." she monaed, not looking up at him "I'm sorry about this...
"It's ok. Its not your fault."
"You shoulld get away form me... I'm a witch now...I coul hurt you...
Re: The continuation of Path 1
Date: 2015-11-19 06:26 am (UTC)[Len said, and then took a deep breath, and hugged Miku / Elly, while the Familiars clacked agitatedly at them.]
[Sayaka, in the meanwhile, was sitting down on the floor again, as she suddenly got dizzy again. Why did she keep feeling so faint, all of a sudden? It was like something was draining her energies away by the truckload or something!]
[Miku / Elly gently hugged Len back, and then moved away from him.]
- I think - I think I should -
[And then, her face dropped.]
...Being a Witch is really horrible, Len - It's like being trapped in a nightmare of your own making that never goes away...
[And then, she reached up with a jointed hand, and patted his face.]
- Don't ever make a Contract and become a Magical Boy, Len. OK?
[And in the meanwhile...]
[Rin was biting her lip. If only there was a way to actually turn Miku back into a normal human girl...]
