Hey everyone, this my first time on this site, and this is my first time attempt at writing something that isn't an essay. I wanted to write stories for a long time, and I figure a harmless little crossover would be a good place to start practicing.
Anyway a little intro about this fic: I wanted to do a Madoka/Jojo's Bizarre Adventure crossover ever since I saw those hilarious and terrifying crossover pics at Gelbooru. And with the airing of the new Stardust Crusaders, what better time to do it than now?
As for the specifics, this crossover takes place 4 years after the events of Diamond is Unbreakable and during a timeline similar to the one in A Different Story where Mami survived her encounter with Charlotte but Sayaka still became a witch.
Chapter 1 - The beginning of a bizarre adventure
Kyoko Sakura stood on top of her spear, her hands clasped in prayer.
She is a puella magi, a magical girl who hunts terrifying creatures known as witches.
And in front of her is the last witch she will ever fight: a witch named Oktavia that was formerly a fellow magical girl named Sayaka Miki.
"Don't worry Sayaka...I know you don't want to be alone…"
Kyoko was gathering all the strength she had left, ready to destroy both the witch and herself. Although she only knew Sayaka for a short time, and frankly they did not get along well, she felt a sort of kinship with her. The truth was Kyoko herself felt alone for a long period of time since the death of her family and the alienation of the only friend and mentor she ever had. She could at least make up for it by offering her own life so that Sayaka's own loneliness can be subsided, if only by a little.
In a few moments it would all be over.
Or so Kyoko thought, until she heard a voice.
"What the hell kind of place is this?"
Her concentration suddenly broken, Kyoko looked down and was surprised to see the last thing she'd expect to be in the witch's barrier: A strange man with a pompadour.
The man wore what looked like a student uniform, albeit decorated with hearts and peace signs. He was carrying a traveler's bag and was looking over a tourist map. The man grumbled, ""What the hell kind of place is this?"
Kyoko was stupefied and frustrated. How could a bystander wander into a witch barrier at a time like this?
Suddenly the witch attacked, knocking Kyoko off her spear. Her wounds opened up and she yelped in pain. She closed her eyes as she hit the ground. But just as the pain started it ended just as quick. She opened her eyes to see the pompadoured man standing beside her.
The man spoke,"Hey you okay? Those injuries looked pretty nasty, especially for a kid your age. Where are we anyway? Looks like a really weird art show…then again I'm not Rohan so who am I to judge."
Kyoko just stared at the man and thought,
Who is this guy? How can he be so calm when there's a witch right there? Is he that dense?
But before Kyoko could say a word, Oktavia raised her sword and was about to cleave both her and the pompadoured stranger in half.
Damn.
Kyoko's reflexes worked in overdrive, preparing to summon her spear to deflect the attack. But just as she summoned her weapon out of thin air, something bizarre happened.
The witch's blade stopped just a few inches from the pompadour man's head, as if frozen in place. Kyoko looked up at the witch. It looked like it was struggling to move its arm and was using all its strength to finish the blow, but it just could not. As if some other force was holding it back.
The man suddenly said "Hey mermaid asshole, I don't know who your 「user」 is, but I don't like my hair being touched…"
Kyoko directed her attention back to the man. There was now a expression of rage on the man's face. Above his hair was the witch's weapon, and Kyoko could now see clearly there were indentations that on its surface. Indentations in the shape of human fingers.
A single strand of hair dropped down from the stranger's head.
What happened next completely took Kyoko by surprise. In what amounted to no more than a few seconds at most, the witch's blade was snapped into pieces and the witch was blown back with tremendous force. Large fist-sized craters suddenly appearing all over its body.
And just as all this were happening, Kyoko could have sworn she heard a faint sound of someone yelling,
"DORARARARARARARARARARA! DORA!"
The blows came from an unseen source, but Kyoko knew it was somehow the man doing all of this. The pompadoured stranger stood in front of the witch just as its body was pulverized into pieces in front of him.
Kyoko could barely move. She was struggling to register all the things she had seen. Who or what was this man? How did he destroy that witch without moving? Why is his hairstyle so unfashionable?
The man moved towards her.
"Kid, I have no idea why the stand was attacking you but we better get out of here. The stand's 「user 」might still be around." The man looked down at Kyoko's spear, "Ah! You a stand user as well?"
Kyoko did not hear his last sentence. She quickly jumped to her feet and brought the spear to the man's neck. The man was taken by surprise.
"You..you killed her! You killed Sayaka!" yelled Kyoko
The man looked confused. "Killed her?"
Kyoko pressed the spear hard against the man's clavicle. The man flinched slightly.
"Who are you?! How did you...that!?" said Kyoko, pointing at the rubble. In her career as a puella magi, she learned that only magical girls can defeat witches. Ordinary humans had no chance. Supposedly had no chance. Yet here was a man, who was clearly not a magical girl, and he was able to dispatch the witch without even touching it. Her mind raced with questions.
"Hey easy kid, I just got this uniform fresh from the dry clean-" the man said, but was cut off mid-sentence when the whole barrier began to shake and collapse.
"Aw damnit, first my hair, then a crazy girl with two stands, and now an earthquake?" the man moaned. Kyoko wasted no time. She wrapped the spear around the man, much to his surprise, and threw him through the exit. Then she jumped across to the exit herself. She could have left the man there to die crushed under rubble as revenge for Sayaka, but she realized: 1) It was better to question him and 2) a man who can defeat a witch without moving could probably survive a collapsing witch's barrier.
She dragged the man and herself outside of the train station just as a large BOOM noise echoed throughout the rest of the complex, signaling the witch's barrier has finished collapsing.
The pompadoured stranger stood up, with the spear still wrapped around him, looking at the debris inside the station.
"Uh..thanks kid. But for the record I could've gotten out of there myself... "
"Shut up. You still have a lot of questions to answer." Kyoko said. Suddenly, a clinking noise attracted her attention. The noise came from near the wreckage of the station and she looked down to find its source: a tiny ovular object that dropped from the wreckage to the floor.
Kyoko's first thought was that it was a grief seed, a item of magical energy that are dropped by witches upon their death. But as she moved closer to inspect, what she saw was not a grief seed but a small egg-shaped gemstone, glowing a magnificent blue. Kyoko picked up the object and stared at it in awe. It was a soul gem, the container for a magical girl's life force and the source of their magic. And it was not just any soul gem, it was Sayaka Miki's.
Kyoko thought to herself, Then...this must mean...Sayaka is alive?
"Hey um...kid. If you're not gonna let me go, I could just...you know...break out of here myself," said the man behind her.
Kyoko stared back at the pompadoured stranger. A thought suddenly clicked in her head.
This guy...can he bring magical girls back from being witches?
High above on a rooftop, the white cat-like creature named Kyubey was surveying the scene below, studying the strange human with the even stranger hair style who was talking to one of his contractees, Kyoko Sakura.
Kyubey is a member of the alien race known as incubators, whose mission is to prevent the heat death of the universe by harvesting the energy released from the emotions of young girls. To do this, he and his kind devised the magical system. But now this system was in jeopardy.
"Impossible. A human with the power to restore witches back to magical girls. I have never encountered such a phenomenon before," Kyubey said to himself as he saw Kyoko picking up what seems to be a perfectly healed soul gem from the rubble.
"This is a most interesting phenomenon indeed. The human mentioned something about 「stands」. I must look into these things called 「stands」."
With that, the incubator disappeared off into the night.
Mitakihara Central Port - 10:14 PM
It was a windy night in Mitakihara town, a metropolis with a constantly growing economy.
The town is known for its architecture which is based on buildings and landmarks all across the world, making it a popular stop for tourists. The Morning Rescue headquarters is also located here. The town is not without its dark side, having a large number of missing persons cases that have yet to be solved.
Off of Mitakihara's central port, a research boat with the words "SPEEDWAGON FOUNDATION" emblazoned on its bow was floating along the water. Two men in khaki SPW uniforms were busy hauling aboard a large circular object on board with a crane. The object was a light brown metallic gear the size of a rai stone.
"What the hell is this thing?" said one of the men.
"No idea." replied the other.
"Is this the reason why Professor Kujo asked us to investigate this place? I thought we were just supposed to be studying the strange weather patterns."
"Speaking of Professor Kujo, isn't his nephew in town? "
"Josuke? That's his uncle. And yeah he's got an internship at a hospital here...or something like that."
The man looked at his colleague in confusion. "...Uncle? He's at least 10 years younger than Mr. Kuj-…"
But before the man could finish the sentence, the gear vibrated.
Both men were startled. "What the-" one of them uttered. The other moved closer to the gear to inspect it. He touched the surface of the gear and strangely it was not cold, but rather warm, despite the fact it was just recently fished out of the ocean. As he moved to the other side of the gear he stopped in his tracks.
"What? What is it?" asked his colleague.
On the other side of the gear was a woman with two oversized horns jutting out from the sides of her head. She was unconscious and imprisoned in the gear itself, as if the metal of the gear and the flesh of the woman were one and the same. Surrounding her and also engraved into the gear were a dozen stone masks.
The same kind of stone masks that nearly ruined the world decades before.

That's it for the first chapter. Hope y'all liked it. Feedback more than appreciated.
