"It's not easy being the saviour." Takatora looked outside his window and oversaw Zawame. In his absence, it had all went to hell. The vines of Helheim Forest had overtaken the once peaceful city. The news of Project Ark was leaked to the masses, to the point where the only blessing to having the town be overrun by Inves was a lack of an angry mob at his doorstep.

"I know exactly how you feel." Homura walked up next to him.

"No. You don't. You have no idea of the weight I hold." Takatora said.

"Of course I do. I just care about who I'm saving more than what I'm saving." Homura said.

"And that's the problem. You're not prepared for the bigger picture." With a sigh, Takatora began to walk away.

"Perhaps my apathy is due to my ability." Homura said.

"Your… ability?" Takatora stopped just shy of opening the door. He turned around and saw Homura's clothes explode in a flash of purple light. When it faded, Homura was in her magical girl outfit. She held her arm.

"Yes… I'm able to time travel. Jump back to a certain point in time and fix any mistake that was made." Homura saw Takatora's depressed face change. The frown, though not completely gone, had lifted up. She saw something in his eyes. She saw hope.

"So… Would you…" Takatora paused for a moment and silenced himself. "Is it even possible?" He muttered. Homura walked to Takatora and held out her hand.

"I can take you back, yes, but I can only go back a month." Homura said. Takatora began to count back the events in his head… A month…

"… Very well. Any chance for fixing my errors is a good enough chance." Takatora said. He took Homura's hand and the two began to warp back in time.


Takatora awoke. The dreams and memories of what had happened fresh in his mind. He looked outside the tower. Zawame's safe, but the rings around the tower were smouldering from the recent result of Kouta's raid. Takatora smiled. He couldn't fix every mistake he made, but at least he can atone. And he took the first step when he went over to the intercom and spoke out a command to his Kurokage Troopers:

"Apprehend and detain Sengoku Ryoma, Sid, and Minato Yoko without hesitance." He said. Homura stood behind him and smiled.
