Who would have thought that there would be an afterlife for Magical Girls? Or for witches? Many Magical Girls died fighting witches. When they did, their bodies disappeared in the labyrinths. Mami and Kyoko had both died in a witch's labyrinths, and witches simply disappeared, dropping their Grief Seeds.
All Sayaka could feel was despair, sadness, maybe anger. It seemed to surround her, like it was in the very labyrinth around her. Or was it a labyrinth?
It certainly wasn't her own. She could remember that quite clearly. It had been a huge concert hall, with an entire orchestra, Kyoske directing it. Just outside the many walls were covered in concert posters.
While in it, she recalled her memories, and they replayed in front of her eyes, as clearly as if she were there. Anger and frustration as her fighting Kyoko.
But suddenly it all that disappeared, and now she found herself in what seemed to be the landscape of a steep mountain. She knew she had to get to the top, but she wasn't sure why. She had to make it by a certain time. It was important that she did, she felt a sense of urgency.
Not too far Nagisa felt the same puzzlement and urgency as Sayaka. Nagisa had also turned into a witch, Charlotte, who had been exactly the one who had killed Sayaka's mentor. She had been here longer than Sayaka, and had yet to reach her goal. She wished she could stop and rest, but she felt that she had to keep going.
"Kyoko!"exclaimed Mami.
"Mami!"
"How odd to see you again!"Mami looked puzzled.
"Where are we? The last I remember I was fighting Sayaka in her labyrinth."said Kyoko.
"Labyrinth? Sayaka? I knew a girl named Sayaka. Kyubey thought she had potential. I wonder if she ever made her contract. I let my guard down for a minute, and I found myself here."
She sat on a boulder. Kyoko sat next to her.
"She did! Make her contract, I mean! She made her stupid contract, and became a witch!"
"But how? If she made her contract she became a Magical Girl. Unless she made her wish to become a witch, which I don't imagine happening."
"Witches are Magical Girls. Kyubey tricked us!"
She remembered learning that she was a zombie, her soul in a soul gem instead of in her body, and then seeing Sayaka turn into a witch.
"He took our souls, and then Sayaka's disappeared and she became a witch. It seems that's what happens to all Magical Girls."
Mami looked horrified.
"Witches are Magical Girls? That means I have killed many Magical Girls!"
Kyoko stood up again.
"If only there was some food around here. Maybe we'll come across some fruit trees. And just where are we?"
"Brocken."
