[And kyouko, still holding the dazed sayaka, snarled at Seven and summoned her spear] "You little creeep!!!"
"Kyouko chan, wait!" [Madoka picked up seven and eight in her arms protectively] "They're not like Kyubey! They're on our side! They're the ones who gave Mami sempai the music box!"
"Oh yeah?" [Kyoukowas still dubious]
[Mami finally sna[[ed out of her shock and ran over in worry] "Whhat just happened!"
"Sayaka put her gem in that box, and things started freakin out, and she turned into a mermaid and, and i dunno!" [Kyouko was a bit frightened]
[Eight came over and gently examined Sayaka's now modified soul gem] "Hm. It seems to have been interlaced with some of the witch energies that lie deep within her, there for drawing out her witch side somewhat, making a fusion or half transformation of sorts... Don't worry, she's still Sayaka Miki. there's just a bit of her witch self out now, most likely pacified."
[And Sayaka groaned and eventually came to. She was back to human shape now, with a few scales remaining and her eyes still silver.] "Ow... what, happened...?"
[Bebe bounced up to her, babbling. Sayaka realized she could now udnerstand her.]
