Chapter 1:
The Birth of the Puella Magi
Through millions of years, we Incubators have been granting wishes to human girls since the beginning of the human race. One wish, could change a person's life or change millions of lives. But if the user is filled with too much grief, they change. Witches is what they would become, monsters that are known for mysterious acts of suicide. Puella Magis are Magical Girls who fight these witches, and sometimes each other. When they find out the truth about what we've done to them, they get upset, scared, and/or mad. I don't get any of it. Why do they care so much about where their souls go? But now, witches are gone, and this world has been taken over by the gods. Some of them are good, some are evil. Still though, Puella Magis exist.
Mika Amaryllis' POV
Gods bless it! That was hardly a challenge. I finished cleaning the end of my blades with a piece of cloth, and got up and looked back at the dead Hellion.
"...Seriously, is there no monster out there that can put up a fight?" I asked myself. I flipped my marsh green hair as the mirage disappeared. The villagers were waiting for me and they were glad to see I was alright. Of course I was, my Wind Wheels and I couldn't be better. Each wheel was a flat metal ring approximately 38 cm (about 15 inches) diameter. One quarter-segment has a padded grip with a cross-guard; the other three segments have protruding flame-styled blades. With one of these wheels in each hand, I could slash, stab, parry, or disarm any opponent. They handed me the reward and I took it. Just as I was walking through the crowd, a little girl ran up to me. She looked at me with sad eyes and looked like she was about cry. I hesitated because I wasn't good with kids. Then she finally swallowed and said:
"My sister...Did you see an 18 year old girl in the mirage?!"
"...Sorry kid, all I found was this." I took out a pendant with weddings bells engraved on it. I dropped it in the girl's hands and she stared at it. Tears filled her eyes and she fell to her knees and sobbed like crazy. I closed my eyes and walked away, into the fields. I couldn't let feelings like that get in my way. I was a Puella Magi after all, and I believe that feelings will just get in the way of your true purpose.
Third Person's POV
"Again today I will going soaring through the skies!
My Enemies, I'll dish 'em up in a stir-fry!
Gracious Goddess of light, watches from up above!
At dinnertime, I always show the cook some-"
"PIT, WILL YOU STOP SINGING THAT ANNOYING SONG! IT'S GETTING ON MY LAST NERVES!" Pittoo shouted through the bathroom door.
"Sorry Pittoo." Pit replied.
"For the last time, stop calling me 'Pittoo!'" Pittoo angrily walked down the halls of Palutena's temple and went to his room. Pit got out the shower just in time to her Pittoo slam his door.
"Jeez. Why's he so upset?" Pit asked, drying his hair with a towel. Pit walked into his room and got dressed in his everyday tunic. He opened his window to see the sky and look at the clouds pass by. Days were always like this in Skyworld. Ever since Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, was defeated 25 months ago, Pit, Pittoo, his dark clone that was originally created by the Underworld, and Palutena, the Goddess of Light who helped Pit through most of his adventures, had time to kick back a take it easy. But things weren't always like that sometimes.
For some reason, these monsters kept popping everywhere and destroying towns and killing thousands. Very few have survive these attacks and lived. At first, Pit thought this was all the Underworld's doing, trying to get back at Pit for destroying their master, but then weeks later these monsters started attacking the Underworld. Then after that, Pit's been hearing stories about young girls, using magic to destroy these monsters, he even heard that they call themselves Puella Magis. Pit thought it was only just a rumor, but he still wanted to find out about these monsters.
"Pit, can you come to the council room. This is an emergency." Palutena's voice echoed through Pit's head while she used telepathy.
"Of course, Lady Palutena." Pit responded. Pit walked to the council room and saw Palutena looking through her reflecting pool that could see all. She turned around as Pit opened the door and she smiled at him.
"It's great to see your doing well Pit." Palutena said.
"Thanks for your concern." Pit replied.
"Do you think you might be...losing your touch since you haven't been fighting in a long time?" The goddess asked.
"What? No way! I maybe small, but I still pack quite a punch!" Pit raised his left fist in the air.
"Heh heh. I'm glad to hear that because I've got a mission for you." She said.
"Oh really? What is it?" Pit asked curiously. Palutena waved her hand over the reflecting pool and an image of another one of those monsters appeared. Pit walked over to take a look.
"Wait...You want me to fight one of those guys?!"
"No, no Pit. I just want you to observe it for awhile. Ya know, follow it, see what it does, where it goes, things like that." Palutena explained.
"So you want me to stalk the monster, hoping it doesn't notice me or anything." Pit asked.
"Well...yes, pretty much." Palutena answered.
"Great." Pit cheered sarcastically. "Before I go, can I at least ask why you want to follow one of those things?" He asked.
"Lord Zeus, Leader of the Olympic gods, and god of lightning, thunder, and the heavens, asked me to check things out since these monsters have been popping up everywhere." Palutena informed.
"Well, if it's coming from the Leader of the Olympic gods himself, then I guess I don't have much of a choice now, do I? Well, whatever! I'll find out what these monsters are doing here and making sure they never come back!"
"Seems you haven't lost that swagger, have you Pit?" Palutena asked. "I'll activate the Power of Flight for you, so you can get to the location where your target is."
"The Power of Flight, huh?" Pit thought for second. "Um...we haven't used it in a long time. Do you think you can still use it?"
"Pit..."
"Yeah?"
"Are you Goddess of Light here?" Palutena asked, sounding kind of angry.
"Sorry. Anyways, let's go!" Pit cheered.
((Scene Change))
Pit was flying through the air, like he did in the past, and like always, he enjoyed it. Even thought the Power of Flight only lasted for 5 minutes when he used it, Pit still enjoyed it while it lasted. They then came to a grassland plain and Pit landed on the soft grass with the Palutena Bow in his left hand.
"So where I'm I suppose to find this monster?" Pit asked Palutena.
"That's weird. Lord Zeus said he saw a monster in this area, but now...I'm too sure" Palutena said. Pit started to walk around and all he could see was grass, grass, and more grass. Pit felt a wind blow behind him and he looked up and the sky. He started thinking of how great it would be if he could fly on his own. If he could, then he thought that Palutena or Viridi, the Goddess of Nature, wouldn't make fun of him all the time. He sighed. Then Pit looked up and thought he was hallucinating, because he started seeing colors like pink, purple, and blue, swirling around in the plains. He looked behind him and saw the entire grassland was like that.
"Lady Palutena, what's going on?" Pit began to panic a bit.
"Pit, the monster...get out your...Pit can... ... ... .. .. .. "
"Lady Palutena, are you okay? Hello? Lady Palutena?" Pit called out her name but she didn't answer. Just then, the scene changed from a peaceful grassland, to some kind-of psycho-looking theme park where the only that was there was a giant rollercoaster. The rails of the rollercoaster ride were disformed and there were multiple cars on the tracks. Just then, Pit heard something whale like a maniac. He turned around and saw the monster. It had narrow opalescent eyes, and its hair was red and worn slicked back. It's skin was mixed of the colors purple and black, and it had a chainsaw in its hands, and it was riding on a speeding rollercoaster car while standing up. He jumped off and landed in front of Pit. The Monster was about 75ft tall and Pit could tell by he's eyes that he was clearly a psychopathic, homicidal manic. Pit looked at the monster in horror, but then regained his courage and fired a shot from the Palutena Bow at it. The monster smacked it right back at Pit and Pit ducked just in time. The monster laughed again and powered up his chainsaw. Pit knew that that was his cue to run.
Pit had no where to go. He didn't know how to get out of here and he had no idea how to attack the monster. He thought that if he could hide somewhere and wait until he got an opening, he could defeat the monster, but the monster was too fast and would catch up to him in no time, and...oh yeah, there were NO places to hide and wait! Pit then tripped and dropped his bow. He tried to get up and get it, but the monster slammed its foot on Pit's back and he couldn't get up. The monster whaled again and got his chainsaw ready. He pushed it down at Pit and Pit closed his eyes and felt like it was the end.
Just then, he heard sparks fly and he saw something over him, blocking the chainsaw. It was some kind-of blade. He looked to his left and saw a girl with short red hair with black lowlights in it. Pit noticed that her left eye color was black and her right eye color was red. Her severe costume was black and red and it looks like it was made of some metallic fluid, and it looked like a fusion of a gypsy dress and a suit of armor. She saw Pit looking at her and she smiled and winked at him. She then turned her attention back on the monster and pushed the chainsaw up and kicked the monster in the stomach and pushed it back with incredible force. Pit got up off the ground and stared the girl who got her blade ready for battle.
"Who...Who are you?" Pit asked.
"I'm Zila Phoebe, and I'm a Puella Magi." The girl said.
"A-A Puella Magi?!" Pit repeated, shocked. The girl smiled.
"Yeah, but right now, I'll take care of the Hellion."
Zila Phoebe's POV
I charged at the Hellion with the Falcata in my hands. My Falcata had a single-edged blade that pitches forward towards the point, the edge being concave near the hilt, but convex near the point. This shape distributes the weight in such a way that the falcata is capable of delivering a blow with the momentum of an axe, while maintaining the longer cutting edge of a sword. But this Falcata was different. It had the engravings of the sun God, Apollo, on it and the black was pure black. I slashed the Falcata at the Hellion and made a slice mark on his chest, and it was a pretty big one. I jumped back and focused my energy and my sword set on fire. I slashed the shape of a star into the air and fire appeared where the lines were. I got my sword ready.
"Crushing...Violent...RIPPER!" As soon as I shouted ripper with a smile on my face, I thrusted my Falcata through the center of the star, and went straight through the Hellion's chest. He screamed in pain and laughed hysterically like a psycho again and he fell in defeat. The scene changed back in the beautiful grassland plains they were before. Then I looked back and I saw the Angel boy with his mouth hanging open. I walked to him and flicked his nose. He held his nose and stepped back a little.
"Hey! What was that for?" He asked. I giggled and looked at him.
"It's weird," I started out, "but I just like to annoy people sometimes."
"What?" I stuck me hand out in front of the angel.
"As I said before, I'm Zila Phoebe, and I'm Puella Magi. What's your name?" I asked.
"I'm...um..Pit, servant of the Goddess of Light." The angel shook my hand. I smiled at him.
"So, Pit, what were you doing in that Mirage?" I asked.
"Huh? Mirage?" Pit repeated.
"Ya know, the place we just in." I looked back and continued. "It's a perfect home for a Hellion, but a death trap for humans who are foolish enough to walk into them." I explained.
"A...Hellion?" Pit repeated again. I looked back and nodded. "So that's what those monsters are called, Hellions?" The angel asked.
"Yep, pretty much." I said. I then flashed out my magical girl uniform and went back to wearing my school uniform. My Sailor uniform for school had light pink for its main color, and the skirt was the same color. The lines on the neck line and the handkerchief tied around were bright yellow. I wore black knee-high socks and dark brown loafers. Pit was surprised by that and his mouth was hanging open. I giggled again because he looked so cute when he was surprised.
"So anyway, Pit, what were you doing in the Mirage?" I asked again.
"Well, I was-"
"Don't bother answering that question, Angel." I looked behind Pit and there I saw Mika. She was still wearing her ripped capris with her blue sneakers, wearing her grey tank top that revealed her stomach, wearing a denim vest over it. Her wrists were both the colors green and brown. Mika took a big bite out of the donut she had in her hand.
"This Puella Magi still has a lot to learn." Mika said, with her mouth full. She walked over to me and with her free hand, she flicked my forehead, and I fell backwards because she was using her magical strength. I held my forehead because it hurt.
Third Person's POV
"Hey, why'd you that?" Pit asked angrily. "She saved my life!" He exclaimed. The green haired girl, Mika, ignored Pit and started talking to Zila.
"Zila, you need to start fighting more powerful enemies." She started. "I know your only starting out as a magical girl, but still, you're more powerful than other newbie I've met so far."
"But Mika, I-"
"No 'Buts'!" Mika demanded, interrupting Zila, who was startled after that. "You need to become stronger, no matter what." Mika looked at Pit then wither her green eyes, but then she heard something and looked to the end of the grasslands and saw something coming. Pit was surprised again when Mika transformed into a Puella Magi. Her outfit was dark and light green and her costume looked like a fusion of a ballroom dancer's dress and a biker's outfit. She made her Wind Wheels appear out of no where, and got ready.
"Yo, Angel. Can you get Zila out of here?" Mika asked.
"Yeah, I think so." Pit answered.
"Good. Get her out of here. Things are about to get rated R." Mika warned him.
"Oh." Pit began to worry.
