Yay for messed up animes~ But this actually is one of my favorite animes, and I'm having a blast writing it! Sorry for all y'all KyouSaya/SayaKyou fans out there, but there's a Fanfic for you coming out too. Bonus points for all those who can count all of the head puns~
(Based solely off of anime, not the move Rebellion.)
I have plans to make SURE that there are new chapter weekly, and I already have three chapters written. Finally I spell Sakura Kyoko as Sakura Kyouko, so do not complain that I am spelling it incorrectly.
Thank you, and I wish you enjoy! (Kyubey: ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼)
We all know Madoka removed the existence of witches in the end, and we all know that everything ended at least a little happily. But what if she failed, and as result her Soul Gem became so black with hate, it turned into a grief seed. Homura knew now that going back was not an option; this was their future. "What's the use?" She sighed aloud. "Going back, only for her and her friends to die and cry, mourn and crumble, turn hopeless and even more distant from me?" She had made up her mind. She set off to kill her only friend, and once she did, she took great care of the grief seed which was left. Never did she use it. Realizing that there was but one way out, she held her pistol to her soul gem. Grasping the grief seed as tightly as she could, she pulled the trigger.
Even the Incubator himself knew that this wasn't the right ending; it never would be. Not unless he turned back the clocks using what was left of Homura's aura combined with his own, and so the story would restart.
But this time, he changed something. He chose an extra pawn to play this little game of his. "Maybe she'll slow them down…" He said aloud. If only he knew…
The one he had chosen may have been just a bit more helpful than the others. Maybe even strong enough not only to save all of the Magical girls, but herself as well.
-Melody's POV-
Today was my first day at my new school, and was I looking forward to it. I was yet, dreading it at the same time. I wasn't all that good talking to new people, never was and never will.
Quietly wrapping a silver ribbon in my white locks, I smiled. I had decided to do my hair in twin braids. It was a bit harder than a simple ponytail, but today was a special day, and I wanted to make a good impression.
Looking at my watch, I let out a slight gasp as I realized the time. "8:30?! I'm gonna be late!" I yell, getting changed at the speed of light before running down the stairs and out the house. I had no time to eat, let alone make breakfast today! Not even a lunch, but it's fine. I'll just go outside and pick some apples or something.
I lived alone. I have no nearby family, or any friends who would let me bunk with me. But living alone isn't always that bad, it just gets a tad lonely at times.
I was a bit deep in thought, so I hadn't noticed I was about to collide with a girl until I was millimeters away from her. I tripped and fell on top of the poor girl. The girl, now trapped under me, let out a squeak.
"I-I'm sorry…!" I said, quickly getting off of her. I felt my cheeks flush red with embarrassment, what a great way to introduce yourself to the school.
"It's alright." She said, sighing a bit as she stood up. She was fairly attractive, and that's when I noticed the bag of apples now scattered on the ground.
"Dammit!" She began to pick up the apples one by one, placing them back into the brown paper bag.
Deciding to try and help, I picked up an apple and placed it into the bag. Then another, and another, and another.
After five minutes or so, the bag was once again full of the apples. "So, you got a name?" I heard the fiery red-head ask, a combination of a glare and an impressed look sent my way. "U-Um… My name is Melody, but most everyone calls me by my last name; Shizuka, or Silent if you wish." I answered.
"Well, I'm Kyouko." She said, holding out a hand for me to shake. I shook it as she said, "Nice to meet ya, Melody. Now, why don't we get to class before lunch? Last one there has to buy the other ten apples!" She said, suddenly turning and running towards the school.
Had I really already made a friend? I had little time to rethink what just happened, as the girl named Kyouko ran back and grabbed my hand. She began to drag me to the school building. "C'mon, lazy! We're gonna be late!" She said, flinching as a small, ferret-like creature ran over to her.
I blinked, smiling at it. "Aw, it's so cute…" I said, reaching a hand out to pet the creature, flinching as the girl slapped my hand away. "Kyubey! You better not try to-!" She started, cut off by as the creature, apparently named Kyubey, jumped on Kyouko and covered her mouth with its tiny little paw.
Don't mind her, she's nuts. My name is Kyubey, and I would love to contract you and make you a magical girl!" Did he just communicate through my mind…?
"A… Magical what?" I asked, tilting my head in confusion.
A Magical Girl! You get to fight off witches, and I will grant you one wish as well! A wish… That could be really useful! Although, I don't have anything to use it on. I mean, I'm happy. I don't need wealth, or immunity, or anything, really.
"But… Mr. Kyubey, I have nothing I want. I'm happy… Besides… I feel like you're not telling me something…" I said, staring at the creature.
Ah, I'll just let you think about it! Whoa… Someone's stubborn. And with that, he hopped off of Kyouko and padded away
"Dammit, Kyubey! I finally find a friend and you try to turn her into… Ah, whatever." She sighed before resuming to drag me to the building. "I'll even show ya around if ya want!"
It was a kind offer, and who was I to decline? "Thanks, Kyouko-chan! If it's not too much trouble, I'd be happy to have you show me around!"
She nodded, and again grabbed my hand and dragged me into the building. "These two are grade 8," Kyouko started, pointing to two glass rooms across from each other. "And these two are grade 9!" She said, pointing to two more glass rooms.
And such the tour continued, eventually ending with the return of the grade 9 class room. "I'm a ninth grader!" She explained before walking into the room. As luck would have it, I was an eighth grader. "Well, see you later!" I smiled, waving before walking back to one of the eighth grade class rooms and knocking.
"Ah, come in!" A woman's voice, presumably the teachers, called. I opened the door, holding back a squeak as I noticed how many people there were in the class.
"Why don't you introduce yourself, Miss?" The teacher asked me.
"I… My name is…" The words just wouldn't come out right, and I didn't know why. As I heard a few snickers and giggles from the students, my lips formed into a frown. "… My name is M-Melody Shizuka… A-and I… Um…" I mumble, holding my head downwards as even the teacher giggled a little. "I live alone, have no family, no friends, and I love cats!" Blurting the words out, I blushed from embarrassment and sat down in a seat in between a scary looking black-haired girl and a pink-haired one.
Ugh, Kyubey's here… So, how was your intro?" Was that… Kyouko's voice in my head…?
K-Kyouko…? Is that you…?! How are you…? Confusion took over my mind, not allowing me to focus on the lecture my teacher was giving about how eggs could be cooked either sunny side up or sunny side down.
As I said, Kyubey's here. That means- She started, interrupted by a new set of thoughts.
I can allow us three to communicate. Maybe you could too, if you just signed a contract!
So that was it. He's trying to trick me, was he? Oh, and my intro went horribly! I-I couldn't think, and now I'm scared! Kyou-chan! There's a scary girl with black-hair giving me a glare! She was seriously frightening me, she wouldn't remove her gaze from me.
I think she wanted to kill me. I think she was going to.
Goddammit Homura! Don't worry about her. She's probably just mad because now she can't stare and admire the pink-haired one, Madoka. I let out a slight giggle at this smiling.
Ah, alright. Anyone else I should look out for? I asked, blinking. It's like texting, but impossible to notice. I looked over at the one called Madoka, who was staring blankly at me as if deep in thought.
Hm… Not really. Anyways, class is about to end. We have lunch next, guess we were really late, huh? I giggled a bit more, attracting a couple stares from my classmates. Then, as if on cue, the bell rang.
I waited for everyone else to leave before standing up to leave, but I was stopped by this 'Homura'. Madoka was standing next to her, which caused me to blink. Were they partners? Lovers? Or maybe just really good friends…?
"So," Homura began, brushing some of the hair away from her face. "I'm Homura, this is Madoka. By chance have you met an alien space-ferret named Kyubey?" She asked. What an odd question, even odder considering I had. "… Y-Yes…" I answered, shaking.
Was she with him? Did she have plans to make me sign this 'contract' I keep hearing about?
"Man… I was hoping there was still hope for you. Did you make a contract with him?" Homura was jumping to conclusions, thinking I had made a contract with him so rashly.
"No! I-I didn't…" I said, louder than I had thought. Now a girl with impossible hair was walking over, followed by Kyouko. The one with impossible hair was blonde, and it looked like she would be a head in life. She's big breasted, she looked smart, and it looked like she wouldn't lose her head if something bad happened.
"Homura! Quit scaring her!" Kyouko hissed, now standing in front of me. Thank god, finally someone sane is here!
"Where's Sayaka-chan?" Everyone turned to Madoka as she said that. "Isn't she fighting a witch right now or something?" Homura asked, blinking.
"What?! She's fighting a witch, by herself?! She's just a newbie! She'll get herself killed!" The blonde gasped, staring at her.
"You're right… We should go help!" Madoka nodded, looking worried.
"And in a previous timeline, she went mental and turned into a witch." Homura pointed out. Wait… Previous timeline?!
All of this new-found information was swirling around in my mind, unable to make sense no matter how many times I told myself. Witches and previous timelines?
"Guys! Chill!" Kyouko said, causing everyone to shut up. "Just saying how we need to save her won't do a damn thing, now will it?" She asked, nodding as no one said or did anything.
Slowly backing away, I decided to go home and rethink my entire life. I was stopped by Homura's sudden change of positions, now behind me. "Oh, forgot about you." She blinked, staring at me. "We'll have to make sure Kyubey doesn't find you alone, or he'll persuade you into becoming a Magical Girl. So," she started before picking me up and throwing me over her shoulder. "You're coming with us."
