I do not own Madoka Magica or Madoka Magica: Rebellion.

When Homura Akemi took Madoka Kaname from The Law of The Cycles, she had essentially become The Devil incarnate. She had created a new world where things went her way. She said she did it so Madoka, the most important person in her life, could be happy. She did it so Madoka could have a happy life with good friends and a good family. And her reasoning for her actions was one word and one word only: love.

When Homura Akemi took Madoka Kaname from The Law of The Cycles, she knew that it wouldn't last. She knew that her world couldn't last forever. She knew that one day, Madoka would learn the truth about what happened, and the two of them were bound to be enemies.

And when the day came, Homura would have to be ready for whatever lied in store.

On that day, Madoka was sitting by a river with her friends Sayaka Miki, Mami Tomoe, and Kyoko Sakura. The girls were all relaxing and enjoying the day when they saw Homura who was by. Kyoko decided to try and get the attention of the stoic girl and picked up a large rock.

"Hey, Akemi! Watch this!" Kyoko exclaimed. And all Madoka could ask was,
"What are you trying to do?"

"I'm gonna skip this rock across the river, hit that tree, and get those birds over there." Kyoko answered, and pointing to the tree. "Why don't you open your eyes? What are ya, lost in Madoka Land?"

Homura then ran to Kyoko and grabbed her by the collar. "Why do you have to insult Madoka? She's just a kid, you know?" When Kyoko retorted with an "Easy, easy." Homura let Kyoko down and let her throw the rock she had. With all the might she had, Kyoko threw the rock, and all the girls watched the rock skip across the river, and the rock hit the tree as Kyoko said would happen. The impact of the rock caused ravens that were perched on one of the branches of the tree to scatter about.

As Sayaka and Mami complimented Kyoko on her throw, Homura just stared at the ravens flying. And all Madoka could do was watch the ravens and the world around her.

"Japan must have changed much more than I thought when I was gone." Madoka thought to herself. "Did ravens start coming here when I was in America? And why is the river…purple?"

For a while now, things were the same as Madoka remembered them from before. However, the only thing Madoka felt was weird was…herself. She felt like she had a bigger purpose in her life, but she didn't know what it was. She felt out of place in her own body. She felt out of her own place in the world. And she felt like that there was a way that she could help hose around her, that there was a purpose to her life…and it was taken away. And now, she was slowly starting to realize what this was, and that this truth was trying to turn the world around her on its head. Madoka felt like the world she knew was about to come crumbling down, and she felt that the truth that was trying to escape from her subconscious was trying to take her down with it.

Madoka began breathing more heavily, almost hyperventilating, and she felt herself in great pain, as if a vicious animal was fighting to get out of her cage, and her eyes flickered from her normal to a golden aura. And Madoka felt real pain.

"What's happening? What's happening to me?" was all Madoka could utter.

Hearing these words, Homura ran off behind a bush. After making sure, nobody could see or hear her, Homura undid the earring she was wearing and took a breath. the two earring in her hand. She clutched the earring tight and sighed.

"It's time." Homura said to herself.

Homura's earring shined brighter and brighter, and what could only be described as pure energy poured out. The universe was starting to apparently crack. Creatures of all sorts Sayaka, Kyoko, and Mami all felt themselves being raised from the ground, and suddenly small jars formed in front of each of them. Mami grabbed the jar giving a bright yellow glow, followed by Kyoko grabbing the red glowing gem, and Sayaka grabbed the aqua glowing gem. The three also found their clothes changing, and they found themselves with weapons in their hands: Mami was wielding a musket, Kyoko was wielding a spear with a ball and chain at the end, and Sayaka was wielding a cutlass. When the transformations were complete, the three returned to the ground. Mami examined the jar in front of her, and recognized what it was immediately.

"Our Soul Gems?" Mami wondered. "But how? And why?" Mami's wondering was cut short as creatures began to surround her, Kyoko, and Sayaka from all directions. A look of determination smirked onto Kyoko's and Sayaka's faces.

"Whatever these things are, we gotta fight 'em off! Don't let them get Madoka! She's still hurtin'!" Sayaka shouted. And all Kyoko could say was, "Alright, here's a fight! Thank whoever gave us this!" And then the three fought the creatures. Some were creatures less than waist high to the girls. Some were like old dolls that became sentient. But all were coming for Mami, Kyoko, and Sayaka. And all three girls were in for the fight of their lives.

Meanwhile, as the battle was raging, Homura ran off, away from all the carnage. After feeling she had gotten to a safe distance from all the fighting, she stopped and petted the ring on her finger and out came a crown containing energy that had a color that could best be described as a mixture of purple and black. Homura looked at the crown, and realized what she had to do. The energy inside the crown glowed and Homura felt herself rising from the ground, and the energy from the crown surrounded her body. Her schoolgirl outfit was wrapped by the energy and in its place was a black dress, black gloves, and black thigh high socks. Black wings grew out of Homura's back. Homura Akemi had become the entity known as Akuma Homura.

Homura watched Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko all fighting her familiars while Madoka was writhing in pain, unaware what was happening. Homura saw the feathers from her wings falling to the ground. "All of this was done by me. All of this was my fault." Homura thought to herself. Homura turned her sights to Madoka, and came to a realization. "I know what I have to do now. I can't do this forever. I knew a day like this would come, and I feel Madoka always knew this would come as well."

Homura flew down to Madoka, touched down on the ground next to Madoka, took a knee, and grabbed her hand. She could feel the pain Madoka was enduring.

"Madoka", Homura lamented. "All I wanted to give you was a world where you could be happy, yet all I have done is cause you pain. No matter what I do, all my plans for you end up in failure".

Sayaka saw Homura kneeling next to Madoka and ran to the scene. When she got there, she took her cutlass and pointed it to the back of Homura's neck, and only asked one question:

"What the Hell do you think you're doing, Akemi?"

Homura knew that Sayaka was behind her. "Do not worry about me." Homura told the cutlass wielding magical girl. "I am going to make things they way they apparently should be." Homura undid her earring, and rubbed her ring, which summoned her crown. She put the earring and crown in Madoka's hand, closed Madoka's hand, and placed Madoka's hands over her heart, her body still shaking violently and breathing heavily.

And, despite being held at cutlass-point, Homura only had one more thing to say.

"Forgive me, Madoka".

Homura caressed Madoka's cheek, and let her lips touch Madoka's, and Madoka suddenly stopped shaking. When Homura ended the kiss and split away from Madoka, Madoka's eyes shot open and her pupils turned from their normal pink color to bright gold. Once this happened, lightning struck, as if someone had taken a sword and cut through the world in one clean slice. An in an instant, Homura seemingly split into two bodies. One was the entity known as Akuma Homura, the other was Homura Akemi, a normal girl whom Sayaka quickly caught as she fell to the earth.

Madoka sat up and began to rise from the ground. Madoka could only think of what was happening to her, and closed her eyes Her school uniform began to glow and turn into a flowing white dress. Her shoes became white heels with wings. The ribbons in her hair became undone and her pink hair grew down to her back and became free flowing. Her clasped hands became covered with gloves. A pink aura glowed from her. Mami and Kyoko each finished off one of Homura's familiars and could only stare at the aura once they saw it. Sayaka saw the sight and let out a slight smile. Homura weakly saw the sight, and a tear came to her eye. Ultimate Madoka had been reawakened.

Madoka had finally realized what had happened. She realized why the world had been out of whack for so long to her. And she had finally realized and rediscovered her purpose in the world.

"I remember now." Madoka said. "I remember what I've chosen to do. I remember why I made my wish." Madoka opened her eyes, and opened her hands where Homura placed her earring and crown. And in its place was a pink Soul Gem. The Soul Gem in Madoka's hands glowed brighter and brighter. Then, the glow became so bright the gem shattered. The shine was enough that all of the familiars and dolls and every single enemy that Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko were fighting disintegrated and died upon exposure to the slight of the shine. All the girls were mesmerized.

A voice asked, "What happened?"

Another voice answered, "The Law of Cycles…has been restored."
