Puella Magi Akira Magica

A Madoka Magica Fan Fiction

A One-Shot

Magical Girls. They must have so much hatred and sorrow. I mean, they maybe regret the wishes they made. They give up their souls to have these wishes granted. Now their souls are in Soul Gems, little precious stones that could easily be broken. Once they are broken, you will most certainly die. The Soul Gem is now your soul; take very good care of it. Now that your wish is granted, you are now a Magical Girl. That means you will fight witches. You will transform into your costume and use your weapon to fight against them. When they drop the Grief Seeds, collect them. They're very useful.

Grief Seeds, you ask? Grief Seeds help you stay alive. Well, if you can even call yourself alive anymore. The more magic you use, the more darkness your Soul Gem carries. If your Soul Gem gets to its full capacity, you'll die and be reborn as a witch. Use Grief Seeds because they'll capture all the darkness. Your Soul Gem will be clean once again. Be careful with Familiars; they won't drop Greif Seeds.

That's not the only way you could die. If you end up hating yourself too much, you can die from that too. That's why you have to be very careful.

I knew all of this, yet I decided to become a Magical Girl. My wish was so important to me that I gave up my own soul. Kyubey came up to me like all the other girls and said "What is the wish that will make your Soul Gem shine? What is the wish you want granted with your soul?" I told the creature what I wanted. I felt pain and saw a little white circular thing come out of me. 'So that's what a soul looks like…' He made it into a little orange star. "This is now your Soul Gem. You better take care of it." He ran off.

"Are you sure you want this wish granted?" Kyubey asked me. "Yes, I'm sure." "Okay then. After I grant this wish, I'll be going to your house."

So the next day came and I woke up and got ready for another day of school. I'm the unknown 8th grader, Akira Takashi. I'm pretty mysterious, unlike Madoka Kaname. She and her group of friends are totally different from me. I will try not to make contact with them until I defeat Walpurgisnacht. I heard from Kyubey that he would leave our planet after I defeat this witch.

What Kyubey does is that he would collect energy for his home planet by collecting the energy Magical Girls fight witches with. If the girls become witches, they energy they release is what he's after too. Kyubey is an Incubator. He needs to get all this energy to help his home planet. He'll leave after I defeat Walpurgis Night, or Walpurgisnacht.

Two weeks passed and it was time to defeat that witch. When Magical Girls fight witches, normal people think a bad storm is coming. They don't really know the truth. I guess Kyubey wants to keep that way. I stand in front of a lake. I see the labyrinth appear. When Magical Girls fight against witches, they fight in mazes. Normal people can't see what they're doing. In fact, if you're not in the labyrinth, you can't see the fight at all.

Walpurgis Night is a combination of witches. I heard it is a very powerful witch. I also heard that not only one Magical Girl can defeat it. Many Magical Girls have to defeat it together. Well, there is no more Magical Girls other than me, so I must beat it by myself. I'm still standing at that lake. Now I am going towards that new maze. I think I'm seeing a circus. I just keep walking. I hope my friends found a safe place away from this storm. Only if they knew what I was doing. Oh well. I just keep walking.

I finally see Walpurgisnacht come into my view. I stop. Time to transform. I use my magic to transform into a Magical Girl. (Picture coming to Deviant Art SOON!) I'm now on the ground with my weapon, a spear, getting ready to fight. "Walpurgisnacht, come at me!" I shout. She starts her horrible laugh while I jump to spear her. All her weapons are aimed at me. I think I won't have enough time to escape, but somehow a miracle appeared. None of those bullets hit me. I attack and attack using my feelings of despair to fight. Questions fill my head up to the limit. Will I survive? Or will I die trying to defeat this witch? Or maybe, will I become a witch myself? I really can't tell at this point.

I feel the battle coming to an end. She is throwing buildings at me now. I hope the normal people are safe. I really hope Madoka, Mami, Sayaka, Homura, and Kyoko are safe. My dear friends, please, be safe. Now while I'm in the air, I'm trying to dodge all of these buildings. It's not so easy. My left leg got a huge cut that is now gushing out blood. My eyesight is now getting blurry. No, not now! Not when I'm so close! I must defeat this witch at all costs. I aim my spear once again towards the witch's "heart". I put all of my power into it. Die, dammit! I see a white blast. But at the same time I smile because of victory, my poor Soul Gem…broke…..into tiny little pieces.

Now I know I'm going to die. My eyesight gets even more blurry. As I go, I think of my friends I'll never see again. I say good-bye to my family. At the very last moment, I think of the wish that started all of this.

"I think you have the potential to make any wish you want to come true," the little Incubator said. "I want there to be no more Magical Girls other than me." "You do realize making this wish will make the only one who will fight witches forever?" "Can you just leave after I destroy Walpurgisnacht?" "Maybe. I might have enough energy. I'll think about it."

As I fall down towards Earth's surface, I think of all the little things that made me smile. As I smile for the last time, I say "Arigatou, sekai".
