Re: The continuation of Path 3

"yes..."
"Hang on" [so the two of them stepped out in their human forms, Eight looking serious and Seven smirking" "What's up?"
[Eight looked around to see if anyone was nearby,] "The coast is clear. go ahead."
[Madoka sighed in worry] "Is it true? Did Sayaka chan, really remain in that little world? Is she, a witch?"
"Sadly, yes" [Eight nodded] ". But circumstances are unusual, "
"How so?"
[Eight and Seven explained the story about Sayaka's mini world, the witch box, and the conglomerated witch world]

[Madoka sighed, then, rubbing her temples.]

...So the Sayaka-chan I was just talking to is still Sayaka-chan, except that she's a copy of the original one, and the original one is now halfway a Witch. And they're all living together, with Mami-san and Kyoko-san, who are now slowly going Witch too.

[And then, she shook her head. Wait, she'd actually met Circe-san when she was on the trip, and Seven and Eight had even talked to her about at least some of what was happening, right? So why hadn't she been able to figure this out earlier?]

[And then, she sighed again, and rubbed her head. Things seemed much clearer, all of a sudden.]

- The original Sayaka really, really didn't want me to figure out what was going on, I suppose. Gaaah.

[Lizard Homura chippered, then, and looked up at Madoka worriedly.]

(Madoka! You mean...You mean, Miki Sayaka did something to your mind so you wouldn't figure out what was going on?)

[Madoka nodded with a sigh.]

...Probably. Ew.

[And then, she hugged Lizard Homura to her chest with a tired smile.)

- I'm OK now, though, I think - Whatever mental block Sayaka-chan slapped on me seems to be gone, now.

[And then, she picked up the bejeweled Lizard Homura, and looked at her again, her eyes going slightly hodded all of a sudden, and then glowing with a golden tint.]

...You know, Homura-chan? I really, really don't like it when people tamper with my head, or me in general, even when they sincerely think it's for "my own good", to be honest...

[Lizard Homura's eyes suddenly glowed purple, then.]

(So you mean it's all right if you do it to everybody else, as long as it's for the right reasons, but it's not OK if anybody does it to you, eh, Kaname Madoka?)

[They stared at each other for a long moment, then, while Seven and Eight twiched slightly, watching them.]

...That's not the same at all, Akemi Homura. It wasn't like I...I...

[Madoka muttered - And then, she put her hand to her head again, as the memories of her conversation with Homura just a few moments ago dropped away from her mind, like a stone falling into a pond.]

- Wait, so what were we talking about again?

[Lizard Homura blinked, too, and her eyes went back to normal as her memories faded as well.]

(...I'm not sure, but just a few minutes ago, we were talking about Miki Sayaka, I think?)

[Madoka groaned again.]

...Oh, right. Thanks, Homura-chan.

[And then, she blinked, and turned around, looking at Seven and Eight again.]

...Wait a minute, waait a minute...So this "Walpugis" you've been talking about is actually a...person or something?

[Seven and Eight twitched, feeling that there was just a time and reality glitch involving the two, but there was no way knowing at the time just it was.] " Well, Walpurgis here is essentially the current queen of the witches. The most powerful of them all. And like all witches, she too was a magical girl at one point."
"More specifically, a magical lady. She was already kind of a grown up when she contactedd. and the queen of some German kingdom and had the strongest ever known magical girl potetntial so far. " [Seven added casually]
"yes, queen Verena of Kalafine. Actually, she herself is the core witch of Walpurgisnacht, while the forces surrounding her are that of the power of the witches she had absorbed. It's like a mega storm. She appears every few decades in a different area of thhe world, by now we have figured out more or less the pattern of when and where she'll show up."
( Homura lizard nodded, remembering the timelines where Kyubey had told Mami about Walpurgisnacht's coming.)
"Statistics show that Walpurgisnacht will arrive in this city at the end of the month."
(Madoka's eyes widened in horror) "Oh no! She is going to atatck Mitikihara soon?!"
(Homura Lizard cursed. She wwas really hoping Maodka wouldn't find out about that!")

[Madoka shuddered, then.]

...No, wait, of course I knew that already, I... Homura-chan told me...

[Lizard Homura stared at her, then. Whaat?]

[And then, Madoka closed her eyes as a whole series of visions flickered though her mind.]

[She was standing on a rooftop in Mitakihara in her school uniform, as the Walpurgis came.]

[She was in Hokkaido, sitting with a coat in front of a very beautiful garden filled with purple flowers, as the Walpurgis came.]

[She was in Okinawa, barefoot at a beautiful beach, with the sea water lapping at her feet, as the Walpurgis came -]

[Madoka shook her head, then.]

- Is it really coming to Mitakihara, though? Or is it -

[Madoka shook her head, then, and stood up suddenly, and put Lizard Homura back in her pocket.]

...Thanks, Seven, Eight. We'll talk more about this later, OK?

[And then, she forced herself to smile.]

- I'll even bake you some of those hotcakes with jam you two love later, if you want. Bye!

[Seven and Eight waved goodbye to Madoka and Homura, and then, they looked at each other, tilting their heads.]

...So how did she know that we both loved hotcakes with jam, anyway?

[And in the meanwhile, Madoka was walking along the road, thinking.]

...Homura-chan?

[She said, and put her hand in her pocket, so she could touch Lizard Homura's back.]

- What do you think would happen, if the time the Walpurgis usually comes came, and I wasn't in Mitakihara at all?

[Lizard Homura thought about that.]

(...Well, I'd like that much better, of course, because you'll be safer, I think? But on the other hand, you usually wouldn't run away at all if you were - )

[Lizard Homura stopped, then, because she didn't want to mention the business of Madoka becoming a Magical Girl at all if she could help it, to be honest. Well, it wasn't like Madoka hadn't figured out that part of it already, she thought, but...]

(And well, in one timeline, I convinced your whole family to go on a trip to Mt Fuji, along with you, of course - And the Walpurgis appeared on Mitakihara, all right, but then it fought all of us and started to make a beeline toward Mr Fuji itself! It was like the world itself hated me or something, I thought at the time, but...)

[Madoka nodded, then, her eyes hooded.]

...Well, it doesn't really matter where I am, or where my family is for that matter, if the Walpurgis is going to smash all life on the planet Earth anyway, I suppose...

[Madoka sighed a bit, then. She still couldn't figure out what those visions meant, but it wouldn't be wise to ignore then, she was pretty sure. What the heck was going on here, anyway - Did she have a magical sign on her back, saying "Walpurgis come here" or something? And why would it keep heading in her direction, if that was what was actually happening, anyway?]
