[Len blinked] "huh? What are you talking about, Rin! What's going on!" [he looks up at Miku, who fell to knees wearily.
She was going now....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,,, her 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 where 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...

[The twin's mother sank into Len's arms, then, unconsious. Rin bit her lip as she looked around them. Most of the audience were slumped over in their seats, but some were struggling feebly, trying to raise their heads.]

...So the entire audience and stage crew has been dragged inside the Witch Barrier, now? Damn it, Miku...

[And in the meanwhile, elsewhere inside the Witch Barrier, Sayaka was staring at what was going on, her eyes going wider and wider.]

...She wasn't joking, and it wasn't a lie. Oh, of course it wasn't a lie, Madoka wouldn't lie to me, and why would the transfer student bother lying to her, anyway?

[And then, she buried her face in her hands, choking noises coming out of her throat. That damn lying sneak Kyubey, oh, she'll show him, she'll show him...]

[And that was when a pair of warm arms hugged her, awkwardly.]

- Sayaka, Sayaka, it's all right - I have no idea what is happening, but we'll be OK, I promise!

[Sayaka rubbed at her eyes, then, the tears coming at last.]

...Oh, Kyosuke - Kyosuke...

[Meanwhile Madoka was looking aorund fearfully] "Oh no! What is happening!"
[Homura reappeared beside her] "come on Madoka. We must get you to a safe place." [She picked up Madoka and carried her to some stands, hiding her]
"Thanks Homura. But please, go help the others! "

[Mami ran up to Nagisa, 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.]
"Nagisa!" She hugged her tightly " are you all right?"
"I-I'm ok, Mami Nee chan!"
[Kyubey arrived as well. He looked up at mami with semi urgency] "Mami, a new witch has hatched!"
"yes, I know. I shall deal with it!"
[Nagisa frowned at Kyubey. She felt he had somehting to do wit this

[Sayaka, in the meanwhile, and wiped her eyes and stood up straight.]

...Yeah, Kyosuke, thanks - I'm OK now, I think.

[And then, she took his hand with a smile, and raised her voice.]

- Oi! Transfer student, come out here were I can see you - I can feel you looking at me, all right!?

[There was an audible sigh, then, and Homura appeared in front of them.]

...Hello, Miki Sayaka. We appear to be in a sad pickle, as some people would say -

[And then, she snickered a bit.]

- And for once, it doesn't seem to be your fault at all. Fancy that!

[Sayaka huffed at her.]

...Of course it's not my fault, you damn idiot!

[And then, Sayaka looked around them, thinking.]

- I - I want to make a bargain with you. You're good at, what do you call it, teleporting stuff, right?

[And then, she took a deep breath.]

...You get Kyousuke and Madoka and whatever other people you can manage to carry out of here, and I'll give you the Grief Seed, once I defeat the Witch. No fuss, no muss.

- So what do you say, Akemi Homura?

[Homura nodded coolly] "I was planning on getting Madoka out of ehre anyway. But very well, I accept your offer, Sayaka Miki."
"And don't you think if I can defeat the witch, because I caan!" [Sayaka huffed]
"I suppose. But Mami and Kyouko are here as well."
"Oh, right. That will help...as long as that crazy Kyouko doens't run off with the grief seed,,," [Sayaka shook her head and tunred to Kyouskue] "I'm gonna go fight the witch now. You go with Homura here, she'll get you out."
[Kyousuke took Sayaka's hands] "Sayaka. Please be careful.
"I will, Kyouske!" [She looked at him longily for a moment, then headed off, going into magical girl mode]

[Homura sighed at Kyosuke looked after Sayaka longingly, then, and quickly grabbed at his arm.]

- Come on, now - We're running out of time!

[And then, she jumped over a couple of seats to wear Madoka was, still tugging him along.]

...Ouch!

[Kyosuke said, as he landed right next to Madoka. And then, he rubbed his head.]

- Are you OK, Kaname-san?

[Madoka, in the meanwhile, was staring at all the unconcious people around her, her eyes wide.]

...Homura-chan - We have to do something! All those people will be trapped there if we can't get them out...

'"Don't worry, Madoka."[Homura helped her up] "Once the witch is defeated, they will all be free."
"Good. I know you and Sayaka chan can do it!" [Madoka's temporary smile fell] "But, the witch is Miku. All witches were normal magical girls..."
[homura looked away, a faint look of regret on her face] "There is nothing more that can be done for them. witches are trapped. Its best for them to end..." [She would have destroyed grief seed, if she didn't have to use them to sustain herself to continue her quest]
"But I'm sure there must be a way!"
"Well, when witches are defeated, they revert back and hibernate in a grief seed. they only rehatch when absorbed enough darkness or left alone fr a while..."
"then that gives time to find a way to save them

...Oh, Madoka.

[Homura said with a bittersweet smile - And then, she gave her a little hug before she could stop herself.]

- Never change, OK?

[Homura said, a small smile twitching on her lips ^ And then, she grabbed both Madoka and Kyosuke, and teleported out of the Witch Barrier in a flash of light!]

[Madoka and Kyosuke both blinked at each other as they found themselves in an empty hall filled with pamphlets, bags and half filled paper cups. Yes, this was the hall where the concert had just been taking place in, all right - Everything was still there, except for the people.]

...Alright, then - I don't know what would happen if and when the Witch Barrier goes down, so I want both of you to get out of the building ASAP, all right?

[Homura said briskly, and then turned toward Madoka, pointing a finger toward her.]

- That means you, Kaname Madoka. I'm not going to be able to help anybody if I have to keep on worrying about you, after all!

"I'll be fine Homura, don't worry! But yes, I'll leave" [Maodka quickly hugged homura] "Be careful!"
"I will. now go."
[Kyousuke bowed] "Thank you, akemi san. Take care of sayaka!" [he took Maodka's hand and ran to the exit] "Come on, Madoka san!"

[Meanwhile, shortly beofre miku going witch, Nagisa had gone outside to the bathroom, get more snacks, and take some medicine. It had taken some effort to convince Mami that She could head off on her own in this crowd. She loved having a big sister now that cared for her, but sheesh, she wasn't a baby exaclty anymore! and by the time she had come back, there was already a witch attack, and Nagisa had gotten lost in the witch labyrinth and seaparated from the tohers. No, she wasn't scared, she could do this!... right?

[Inside the Witch Barrier]

[Nagisa sighed, then, as she thought about her medicine. She didn't really need to take them anymore, right? Her magic made her feel much better then the medicines ever had, anyway.]

[But on the other hand, Mami had made it quite clear that they weren't suppose to talk about the Magical Girl stuff or magic in general for that matter with outsiders, and Nagisa was pretty sure that the doctors and nurses wouldn't believe her even if she did tell them about the magic, anyway.]

[...And then, Nagisa sighed. On one hand, she loved the notion of never needing any of the medicines again, but on the other hand, the thought of having none of the medicines at hand gave her a sinking feeling in her tummy. For years and years, they'd been pretty much the only things that could make her feel a little better, after all.]

[...But never mind that now, she had more important things to do, after all. First, she had to transform, and - ]

[And that was when their was an annoyed tapping, right behind her.]

- Hey, Kiddo - Would you make up ya bloody mind whether you're gonna transform or not? I'm sort of busy right now, and I don't really have any time to deal with a newbie having hysterics, if you get what I mean...

...Whaaat???

[Nagisa said, and quickly turned around. Where was that strangely familiar voice coming from, anyway? Nagisa quickly looked around the part of the corridor she was standing in, just to make sure nobody was looking at her, and then transformed with a sigh of relief.]

...I'm not a newbie, sheeesh!

[She said, and quickly jumped over some of unconcious people on the floor, trying not to step on them. She turned the corner, just to see a strangely familiar blonde Magical Girl looking at her with an utterly unimpressed expression, tapping her feet.]

- Of course you're a newbie, any Puella Magi who'd survived more then a couple of months would have transformed the moment they felt the Witch Barrier go up. But now that you're here -

[Rin said irritably - And then, her mouth dropped open.]

...Wait! You're...Nagisa-chan???

Edited 2016-01-17 06:32 (UTC)

[Nagisa blinked at that] "Eh? You know me, oneesan?"
"Yes, we met when my brother and I preformed at the hospital" [Te blond young teenage girl replied]
"Ah!" [Nagisa recgonized her then] "Youre Rin Kagamine! I didn't know you were a magical girl!"
"Same here." [Rin frowned.] "You'e awfully young to be one though."
pNagisa pouted] "I'm not a baby, you know!"
"I know. It's just, always especially a shame, with young magical girls. Teenage is one thing, but..." [She sighed and shook her head]
[Nagisa tilted her head] "So, should we go get the witch?

[Inside the Witch Barrier.]

...Yeah, that's a good idea, but -

[Rin sighed.]

- There're so many Magical Girls in this place right now, it's making my head hurt.

[And then, she gave Nagisa a hard look.]

...I really don't wanna fight with you, or any of the others for that matter, about who gets the Grief Seed this time, all right?

[Not to mention that Len and their mother were still trapped in the damned Witch Barrier, sheesh. Rin sighed, then, and wondered which would be more cost effective - Should she fight Miku's Witch, or just concentrate on getting her brother and mother out?]

Edited 2016-01-21 06:55 (UTC)

"That is all right, Mami nee chan says we can share grief seeds!" [Nagisa put on a determined look] "I have to find her!" [She ran inside ]
[Meanwhile Sayaka and Mami cught up and finally found the witch, sitting in her tv, watching the memories of some of the audience members she caught]
"End of the line, witch!"

...Well, sure, technically, it's possible to share Grief Seeds, but -

[Rin sighed, then, and shook her head as she saw the young Puella Magi run off. First things first, right?]

[She quickly ran back to where Len and their mother was. Len looked like he couldn't decide whether to scream at her or just faint, while their mother was out like a light.]

...Hey, Len - You can scream at me later, when we're all safe at home, OK?

[Rin said, and then, she began to use her magic, trying to tunnel their way out of the Witch Barrier.]

[She had to get her family out first, that was an absolute must, but then - Rin sighed, as she realized she really did feel that she had to see this fight through to the end, no matter how un cost effective it was. She couldn't really leave that little girl to fight it out without help, and - This was Miku's Witch's Barrier, afte rall.]

[And in the meanwhile - ]

[Elly looked around, and stared at Sayaka and Mami, looking annoyed.]

< Stop bothering me! >

[And then, she tilted her head, and started to summon two of her TV sets.]

< But on the other hand - Maybe interesting memories, yes? >

[Len kept frowning at Rin] "Are you really even my sister?"
"I said we'll deal with this later! Now come on, we have to catch up with that little girl!" [She grabbed Len's wrist and ran after Nagisa]

[The little angel doll twin familiars based off of Rin and Len giggled and swooped down and grabbed the magical girls.
Mami cried out and struggled, as her memories were dislayed don the tv monitors. There were flashes of her younger life, the day she made the contact as she layed dying in the car wreck that took her parents, her early syas as a magical girl, meeting Kyouko...

[Len pulled Rin back, then, groaned.]

...Rin, Rin, calm the hell down. How the heck to do expect me to run when I'm still carrying Mom, anyway!?

[And then, he looked at her, and sighed.]

- Maybe you are still Rin after all - Who else would be that idiotic?

[Rin looked at her brother and their unconsious mother he was carrying in his arms, and sweatdropped.]

...Ahh, right.

[And then, she looked around them, and sniffed. And then, she slowly turned toward one of the emergency exits that were glowing greenly in the direction the little Magical Girl had gone running off to.]

- That ones feels different from the others - OK, Len, follow me, and don't drop Mom, you get it?

[And then, she put her hand out, willed the outside world to appear on the other side of the emergency exit - And then, she just tore the door open, breaking the lock in the process.]

.....It worked!

[She said, poking her head out, and then quickly pushed Len and their mother out into the concert hall filled with empty bags and pamphelets.]

- And now, you two get out of this building, as quickly as you can. OK?

[Len stared at his sister - And then, he started as their mother began to groan.]

...But what about you?

[Rin laughed at that.]

.......Naaah, naah, a Magical Girl's job is never really done -

[And then, she turned back toward the inside of the Witch Barrier.]

- And I can't leave that little kid all alone, anyway. OK?

[And in the meanwhile, Sayaka had been grabbed by one of the flying Familiars, too.]

[A very young Madoka appeared in one of the TV sets, smiling at her.]

...Shayaka-chan! Let's become friends!

[Inside Elly's Witch Barrier]

But I don't wanna be friends with you!

[Little Sayaka pouted on the TV screen.]

I wanna be friends with Erika-chan! Erika-chan has the best birthday parties!

...Well, sure! But you can be friends with both me and Erika-chan, right?

[Little Madoka laughed. Sayaka laughed, then, and wiped her eyes.]

...I can't even remember what "Erika-chan" looked like anymore, Madoka.

[Sayaka said, and then, she took a deep breath and chopped the Familiars away from her, not seeming to care if she was cutting off pieces of her arm in the process.]

[And then, she rolled over to Mami, who was staring at the TV screen, tears rolling down her face. Little Mami was with her family, starting out on that ill fated car trip...]

...Come on, Mami-san, wake up, OK?

[And then, Sayaka turned around and called out - ]

- OK, everybody - We all fight this thing together, for once, and we share the Grief Seed too! Do you all get it!?

"I... Sayaka...?" [Mami blinked, unable to tear away from the scenes from her memory.]
[Sayaka cut the familairs away, but more kept coming] "Damn it! more!"
"Mami Nee chan!!" [Nagisa rushed in as much as fast as she could. The familaiars giggled and grabbed her. Visions of Nagisa's mother appeared on the screen. Then of her getting sick, then from Nagisa's view, darkness, then a mirror of her appearing faintly , but with unhuman, multicolored eyes...]
"Nasgisa!!" [Mami broke free upon seeing her adopted little sister in danger and fired at the familairs]
[Kirsten elly watched the memories in interest. Oh? A new sister was about to be born?]

[Mami, in the meanwhile, had managed to get close enough to Nagisa to grab her away from the Familiars holding her down.]

...Come on, Nagisa-chan, it's all right, it's all right...

[She said, and hugged her tight.]

[And that was when Rin arrived on the screen with a bang!]

- Ha ha ha - All right, everybody, you can all stop despairing now, the calavery is here!

[She said, a bloodthirsty grin on her lips, and raised her magical weapon, which happened to look like a mike of some kind for the moment. And then, she turned toward Nagisa with a slight sigh.]

...And now, I'd be going for some kind of group attack if I were you folks, but I'm not even sure you know how to do those, so...

[And then, she looked at Nagisa, and waved her hand, looking somewhat worried for a moment.]

- Hey, Kiddo! Are you all right down there?

Edited 2016-02-07 06:49 (UTC)

( nagisa blinked and waved) " hello! Yes im all right, thanks to my big sister!"(she gave mami a hug)
( mami blinked at the new magical girl, but waved as well, happy to have more help here) " now come! Lets deal with this witch!"
( the damiliars dived towards rin and grabbed her. This time three sets of memories appeared on the screen, that of princess rilllianne. Rillianne who became rin, and rin kagamine. Kirsten elly watched these eagerly. Wow, these memories. Were certainly juicy! And so much delicious sorrow to feed upon!)

[Rin, in the meanwhile, was raising her magical dulcimer with her bloodthirsty grin.]

- OK, then, everybody - Listen to my song, and sing with me!

[Mami and Nagisa stared as light swirled around Rin, and her music started to swell.]

...What's happening? It's like the song itself is telling me to add my magical attacks to it?

[Nagisa whispered. Mami grinned, then, and made her ribbons billow in front of her.]

- Well, OK, then - I think we should do just that!

[Kyoko nodded, too, as she staggered up from behind some seats.]

...I never heard of a group attack song, but there's a first time for everything, I suppose...

[And then, Mami, Nagisa and Kyoko raised their voices in song, the magic flowing out of them. A large gun formed in front of Mami, while magical roses curled around Kyoko's spear for some reason. And large amount of shiny bubbles blew out of Nagisa's trumpet, while she clapped her hands...]

[Homura, in the meanwhile, just sighed from her perch in the rafters.]

...As you wish, then, Kagamine-san.

[And then, she opened her mouth, and began to sing too, as the magic flowed out of her.]

[And the streams of magic formed into streams of magical music, and flowed over to sayaka, who was weakly getting up from the familiar's last attacks. This music energy repleshineshed her and she glowed light blue. Sayaka smiled as she felt the music. Her sword transformed into a conductor's baton. She raised it, and began to compose and rearrange the magical music into a song. Then she opened her mouth, her own beautful voice flowing out in song, adding to the musical energy.
Kyouko blinked as she heard Sayaka sing. Sure she knew she nwas into this classical music schitick, but this. Her voice was amazing and tantalizing! And her conductor's movement was as graceful as the water element she represented] "Sayaka... wow..."
[Rin blinked, a twinge of irritation and jealousy at this. Past memories, as the old Rillianne seething in annoyance and jealousy at the attention Lady Oktavia Von Sekendorff's musical genius received. Showing her up like that! And hah, how the people were all disguested at Oktavia once her true fishy appearence was revealed! That's right, she was a mermaid... would she still be a mermaid in this reincarnated life? signs pointed to it

[And then, Rin shook her head, annoyed at herself.]

...Behave, Rillanne...

[She growled under her breath, and then took a step back, focusing herself. So many reincarnations seemed to be running around this place nowadays, ha ha ha - And what really was weird was that she seemed to be getting even more flashbacks from Rillanne the Queen then Rillanne the Magical Girl and Folk Singer. What in the world had happened, anyway? Had the Queen Rillanen part come back as a package deal when she reincarnated as Kagamine Rin?]

[But never mind that now - She had something more important to do, after all.]

[Miku - Or what was left of her soul, anyway - was waiting for them to set her free.]

- Carry on, Senderkoff!

[Rin said, and added her song again to the whole, wrapping the whole thing up with gossamer strings of music. She could figure out some way of making the bluehead pay for one upping her later, maybe, she thought with grin, but then, her smile became sad again, as she turned her attention to the stage.]

[Kirsten Elly, in the meanwhile, was turning toward the performance, grimancing.]

[Some people were so unconsiderate! What did they think they were doing, distracting her from her TV screens with such beautiful music?]

Edited 2016-02-27 06:34 (UTC)

[Sayaka was too focused on the music to notice the frisson between her and this new Rin. She gathered up the magical music energy coming from Rin and added it to the power ensemble. It was almost ready to fire.]

[Kirsten Elly huffed as there was a faint crackle on one of the screen, with her own memories, like a badly tuned channel. though the fuzzy screen and white noise, there were glimpses of a girl just like her but with teal hair instead of black and happy looking, indulging in her musical love and talent. It was mostly pop instead of the folk and classical that was emitting from the magical girls, but still...that girl was for music and sharing it with the world... but that girl was gone now. Only sulking in her own little world, watching recordings of other peoples dreams and memories that she collected and kept. Content, but miserable that she could never join the world again...
So the others shouldn't either. her witch symbol mark appeared on any remaining humans in her barrier. putting them in a trance, only thinking of their misery and they should end their lives in this world...

...Well and damn...

[Rin groaned, feeling very relieved that she'd gotten her brother and mother out of the Witch Barrier beforehand.]

[And then, she blinked. A soft, thin voice was singing along with them, her tones blending seamlessly into their chorus.]

[Kirsten Elly turned around, looking annoyed, then. The green haired girl inside her was singing? Why now? It was much too late for whatever life the green haired girl had wanted, Kirsten Elly had been born already!]

< You made me, Egg Me! Why are you trying to interefere now!? >

(...Sorry, kid. I didn't really know what I was doing, all right?)

[Miku sighed.]

(...And nobody deserves to be a miserable as we are now, I think - Even us.)

< - Kirsten Elly is not miserable! >

[The Witch cried out, while Miku shook her head.]

(......You have no idea what being really happy and content is, Elly - )

[Miku said, and gave her a hug inside the mindspace, and looked into her eyes.]

(- I'll try to do better next time, if there ever is a next time, OK?)

[And then, the combined attack hit both of them.]
