Of Mice and Magical Girls Chapter 1
Kyōko slowly opened her eyes. The last thing she remembered was she was fighting Sayaka. She sat up. She was in the middle of an amusement park. She was wearing her magical girl outfit. She stood up and looked around. Her spear was on the ground near her foot. She picked it up. The food stalls were nearby. Kyōko was hungry and made her way over to the stalls. There was some Pocky nearby so she grabbed a box and opened it with one hand while she held her spear in the other.
A shadow appeared over her as she put a piece of Pocky in her mouth and grabbed her spear as a sword appeared over her. She lifted up her spear as it hit against a metal sword.
"Did you pay for that?" Ace asked.
Kyōko looked up and him and jumped back with her spear. "Why do you care?"
"Because if you didn't. I'm kind of like the police here." He said trying to cut off her pony tail.
She stopped his sword with her spear and said "Where's here?"
"This is Wonderland."
"What are you doing you idiot?" Kyōko looked over to find Gray looking back at them.
When she turned to look at Gray, Ace stabbed her just to the right of her heart where her soul gem used to be. Now though it was a clock. Gray picked up the clock.
"You know you can't take that without my permission." Ace replied with his sword against Gray's throat.
Gray didn't flinch and said "I'll lead you back to the tower with your permission to carry this clock back to Julius."
Ace put down his sword and replied "Fine."
When they got back to the clock tower Gray gave the clock to Julius. Julius looked up and said "What's this?"
"New role." Gray said and walked away. Julius didn't say anything but fixed the clock
As the clock began to work again, Ace took the clock into the dungeon. Kyōko reappeared as Ace set her down in the dungeon. He chained up her wrists and ankles. He smiled as he looked at the unconscious Kyōko. "Work time." He left and shut the door just as Gray had come down to check on the new role.
"What were you doing?" He asked Ace.
"Going to work."
"What were you doing in the dungeon?" Ace smiled an evil grin. Gray wanted to beat him up but he had to go find the new role. He went down to the dungeon.
Slowly Nightmare followed him down to where Kyōko was slowly waking up. Gray opened the door and saw Kyōko sitting there in chains. He opened the door a crack then went to find a key to open the chains. Meanwhile Nightmare crept into the room. Kyōko opened her eyes. 'How am I still alive?'
"Julius repaired your clock." Kyōko looked up to see Nightmare standing in front of her.
"My clock?"
"It's like your heart. Only if it gets broken someone takes it to Julius to be fixed. But you wouldn't have memories of before being fixed."
"Are you Julius?"
"No, I'm Nightmare."
"You should be working." Gray said coming in with the key and unlocking Kyōko's ankles. "Excuse me." Gray said with a smile pulling Nightmare behind him.
Kyōko heard them whispering and tried to hear what they were saying.
"She can't stay here."
"Why not?"
"You'll never do any work."
"I promise I won't get distracted."
"No. Now..."
Kyōko stood up. 'I need to get their attention.' She slowly began to walk to the door when she heard a door open.
"Is the executioner here?"
"No. He just left."
"Where's Nightmare?"
'Now's my chance.' Kyōko tried to open the door but her wrists were still locked. 'How am I going to get their attention now?' She began to pound on the door.
"Who's that?" The visitor asked. Gray didn't answer the question and opened the door.
"Do you have any food? I'm hungry."
The visitor came into the dungeon and said "You're cute. Let's squeak in a kiss."
"Pierce would you like to show the newest role holder to Hatter Mansion and get her some food."
"Sure."
Gray unlocked Kyōko wrists and left the dungeon. Pierce smiled at her and said "Gray's not that bad. He can be really nice sometimes."
Kyōko stood up and said "Thanks uh..."
"Pierce."
She picked up her spear and they left to go to Hatter Mansion.
