A/N: As promised, for those who haven't read it, this is a Spin-Off/Prequel or whatever of my previous fanfic Puella Magi Americana Magica. I know it's one of my least popular fics but I've wanted to write this for years. The plot of that fic deals with the lives of a trio of magical girls from San Francisco and the fact it's for some reason called the Witches Den... I reintroduce the core cast (plus one additional character that important to that story). If you haven't read it yet do it at you own restrained as I'm going to play out the twist of that story again for this one thanks to Timey Wimey Wbillbly Wobbly (Homura is involved after all). All I will say this isn't a fix fic. If you have read it... enjoy the ride and see how things go down this time... also please don't' reveal the twist...
Disclaimer: I don't own Puella Magi Madoka Magica, if I did I would find a way to add Gobey!
Gobey: I'll drink to that! (Chugs beer)
Emma: But I do own all OCs... including said Gobey.
From Across the Seas
By Emma Iveli
Chapter 1: Sounds Like a Dream Come True
Homura Akemi has been stuck in an endless loop of her own doing. For a long time she had been trying to save Madoka Kaname her best friend from becoming a Magical Girl.
But each time she would fail and end up starting it over. Sometimes they would be similar sometimes there would be irregularities such as a certain boy playing a different instrument or another magical girl named Oriko getting involved.
During one of the time loops she had heard something. Something about a group of magical girls from another country.
(Flashback)
Homura had deiced to compete team up with another Magical Girl named Kyoko (who had long red hair put into a pony tail) in this time loop. Both of them were resting.
"Less Witches than I thought…" sighed Kyoko, "Then again I should expect this place to be like the Witches Den."
"What's the witch's den?" asked Homura.
"You never heard of Witches Den?" asked Kyoko, "Seriously?"
Homura shook her head no, then again Kyoko rarely lamented anything in front of her in any of the time loops.
"The Witches Den is the place with the most Witches in the World." Explained Kyoko, "No ones knows why it happens but rumor that if they only encounter two witches then it's a slow day."
Homura was shocked, "How is that even possible?"
"Rumor is that the Golden Gate Bridge acts like a magnet." Said Kyoko.
"Wait… Golden Gate Bridge?" asked Homura, "You mean it's in San Francisco."
"Yeah… you don't seem like a rookie so I would have thought. You knew about it." Said Kyoko.
Homura said nothing, but she put in the back of her mind… well for now.
(End of Flashback)
Every time loop since then she always checked to see if that one was an ill regularity. In all time loops since then she always looked up the Witches Den on Magical Girl run websites. And it was always the same, San Francesco was swarmed with Witches.
She even learned the exact details. There were three Magical Girls. One was named Lenora who seemed to be the longest standing member who had powers over barriers, the second was Diana who had power over water and the last was Angelina who had just become a magical girl not too long before the time loop started who has power over sound.
Not only that but they had an assistant some of the sites called her "The Enteral Magical Girl candidate" and her apparently her name was Sabrina.
There was also their Incubator, which for some was blue, named Gobey and apparently was almost constantly drunk.
She managed to use her computer and make sure these facts were the same.
Homura sighed and decided to take the long shot, she sent a message to Sabrina late at night. She managed to translate what she wanted to say.
A few hors later, when Sabrina (who had wavy sea green hair) got home she checked her e-mail.
She clicked on it, and read it.
"I am from Mitakihara Town, I know it is half a world away but I believe I could use the help of the Magical Girls of the Witches Den. Walpurgis Night is coming."
Sabrina's eyes winded.
She grabbed her cellphone and called Diana.
At Crissy Field Diana (a girl with short blue hair) laid on a bench while waiting for her Soul Gem to glow. It was a technique she came up with called fishing, a witch got close enough she would go after it.
Why did Diana use this technique well it was because was very lazy.
That was when her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" asked Diana.
"Hey, I just got an e-mail for you guys, I guess they sent it to me since I'm your assistant." Said Sabrina from the other end.
"Okay, I'll tell them to meet at your house when we're done today." Said Diana.
"Thanks!" said Sabrina on the other end.
That was when Diana heard beeping.
"It's Angelina, she probably found a witch." Said Diana.
"Okay! See you later!" said Sabrina on the other end.
Back at Sabrina place she ended the call.
She looked at her contacts.
"If they will do it, I'll have to see if she up to it." Thought Sabrina.
That was when she called someone else on her contacts.
That evening, the three magical girls got to Sabrina's house.
"So what's this e-mail that that Diana told us about?" asked Angelina (who had her hair done up in long pink pigtails).
Sabrina pulled it up.
"So the Magical Girls who are going to get attacked by Walpurgis is asking for our help." Said Lenora (a girl with long dark purple hair).
"Walrus Nate? What's that?" asked Angelina.
"Walpurgis Night. The world's strongest witch." Said Lenora with a smirk, "Every year she appears in a diffract location, and causes deviation where she goes!"
Sabrina pulled up photos of devastated areas.
"No way…" whispered Angelina looking at the pictures.
"Calling the Magical Girls of the Witches den… they must bet getting desperate…" said a voice.
They all turned to see an older teen, she was Hispanic and her yellow hair done in twin braids.
Lenora glared at her, Diana gave her a causal nod while Angelina was confused.
"What is she doing here?" asked Lenora.
"I called her because even if you decide to go, she's been a magical girl far longer than you Lenora, and she'd be a great assets fighting Walpurgis." Said Sabrina.
"Can't say I'll complain." Said Diana.
"Oh we never met." Said the girl to Angelina, "My name is Rosemary Ventura, my turf is San Mateo, but I used to live in San Francisco, left right when The Witches Den took it's hold."
"Oh wow… then do you know the cause?" asked Angelina.
"I'd not talk about it…" muttered Rosemary, "So have you decided, because I'm game if you are."
"It's not going to happen here in the U.S. is it?" asked Diana.
"Nope, I found out Mitakihara is..." said Sabrina, "It's in Japan."
"Really!" said Angelina who began to squee, "Come on you guys! Let's go! LET'S GO!"
"Do you even have a passport?" asked Rosemary.
"Oh yeah, my parents got me one to be sure." Said Angelina.
"My parents dragged me to Niagara falls a couple years and we needed one to get in Canada." Said Lenora.
"I don't need to say anything." Said Diana.
"I do too…" said Sabrina not wanting to talk about.
"Good… so we can all go… if one of you agree with Angelina." Said Rosemary.
"Fighting the world's strongest witch…" said Lenora with a smirk, "Sounds like a dream come true."
"I guess I'm out voted." Said Diana with a shrug.
"You didn't want to go?" asked Angelina.
"It's not that… it's just that it was take me a few days to prepare you know create fake organizations, get the help from Magical Girls across the web to make it look real, fake websites… after all I'd have to fund the trip and since we can't exactly run off to Japan without parents permission we'd have to fake something." Said Diana.
Diana was not only rich but the daughter of a high-ranking Silicon Valley executive.
Thanks to this she was also tech savvy.
"It's too much work…" moaned Diana.
"Please do it…" sighed Angelina.
"Don't worry. Should take me a week at most… Walpurgis isn't for a month... so we'll have a enough time to get there, get to know the Magical Girls there and be fine." Said Diana.
"Okay!" Rosemary.
"Good." Said Lenora smirking.
"Yosh!" cheered Angelina.
"By the way where's Gobey?" asked Sabrina.
An awaked silence filled the room.
"How could you forget Gobey!" said Sabrina.
That was when Gobey wandered into the room.
"Hey! What's everyone doing here?" asked Gobey, "OH! Rosemary! How your doing my bitch! Haven't seen you in like…. Forever!"
Sabrina was nursing a headache.
"Sorry…" Diana stated weakly.
And so the emergency trip planning was done, Diana managed to get the help to create a fake organization that take students to other countries to study, not only that but she managed to not only use some of her money but pooled it with some Magical Girls from Marin (in exchange they get San Francisco as their turf for their trip).
It took less than a week for them to get their permission slips and school notices ready.
With their parents obvious, the four magical girls, one normal girl and one incubator were headed to Japan.
While waiting to board Diana gave the itinerary.
"After fighting we wait a few days to help with clean up and other things… then we'll spend a week in Tokyo just for vacation." Said Diana.
"Really?" asked Angelina.
Diana nodded, "It's best if we do spend a week in Tokyo, you know to make it seem like we're really on a school trip, besides I think we deserve a vacation."
"Thank you!" said Angelina.
She began to plan out in her head where to go.
"What! I can't drink!" yelled Gobey.
Sabrina stared at him.
"Hey! What do you mean I'll cause a scene! You give are the only ones who can see me! And it's a 10 hour fight!"
Sabrina rolled her eyes.
"This is going to be a long day…" said Rosemary
Of course the fight took a long time. They also had to get transportation to their hotel. They got two interconnected rooms, with one getting a roll in.
"All right so the rooms are Sabrina and Lenora and me, Angelina and Rosemary." Said Diana.
"Shouldn't it be Lenora with us and Sabrina with Rosemary?" asked Diana.
"I wanted it that way." Said Sabrina.
Lenora glared at Sabrina who ignored it.
"Okay! Let's go then!" said Rosemary.
"Shouldn't we get settled in?" asked Diana.
"We have to find and meet the magical girls of this town…" said Rosemary, "And meet the one who sent the message."
"She has a point." Sighed Sabrina.
The other three sighed.
And so all five of them went to look with a witch… dragging Gobey along so he doesn't get drunk.
They searched the city together along the way.
"By the way I forgot to ask… how many Greif seeds did you bring?" asked Rosemary.
"Except for the ones we promised to give the Marin girls, I brought the whole stock." Said Sabrina.
"Seriously?" asked Diana.
"It's the strongest witch…" said Sabrina, "We need as many as we need and we don't know how magical girls we're teaming up with…"
"She has a point." Said Gobey was being held tightly by Sabrina, "By the can you let me go…"
Sabrina only held much more tightly.
"I found one…" said Diana who was searching for one.
They ended going to a hospital.
"This is the place." Said Diana.
"Great… a hospital." Sighed Rosemary.
"This going to be a happy witch…" said Lenora sarcastically.
They opened up the labyrinth and went in leaving Sabrina and Gobey behind.
"You know… I think for once I'm glad for Angelina's wish." Sid Gobey.
"Yeah…" agreed Sabrina.
With the four magical girls they went into the labyrinth. All four of them transformed into their costumes.
Angelina's had a pink she with puffy sleeves, a hot pink sailor collar with matching pink skirt which had a light pink lace underneath. A dark pink ribbon was at the base of the collar on her lower back. She had light pink sock that went to above her knee as we light pink give that went to her elbows and hot pink shoes that had ballerina straps, her pig tails were now tied with large light pink ribbons and her soul gem too the shape of a cherry blossom petal on her forehead.
Diana's Costume consisted of a somewhat flowing sleeveless dark blue shirt, with a sky blue collar that had a sort of star shape. She had short sky blue skirt that also flowed, she had knee high dark blue socks and flat shoes, in her hair was a dark blue head band and her soul gem which took the form of a drop of water was attached to headland.
She had a red-violet shirt with long sleeves that were slightly puffy at the top, her collar and cuffs were black as was her skirt, which was knee length, she also had red-violet and knee high black boots, her soul gem was at her throat, which was a circle
Rosemary's costume was light yellow dress with very short selves, she wore a white with a light yellow band, around her neck was a white ribbon, she also had one on her lower back, she had some white trimming on her skirt and white knee high socks and simple light yellow shoes. Her soul gem which was a star shape was on her wrist.
As the four of them headed deeper into the labyrinth they saw a girl tied up by ribbons and chains.
She had long black hair and stopped moving knowing that if she struggled they would get tighter.
"Should I talk to her?" asked Angelina.
"Yeah…" groaned Rosemary, "Because this screams turf war."
Angelina approached the girl.
("Um… hi…") said Angelina in Japanese.
The girl looked at Angelina, was a surprised.
("Is the magical girl mean?") asked Angelina, ("Or are you having a feud?")
"(We're having a bit of a feud… however I wanted this witch because it's very dangerous.") said the girl.
("What do you mean?") asked Angelina.
The magical girl explained, however the other magical girls watched.
"I think we can all agree that having Angelina wishing for Japanese is godsend in this case." Said Diana.
"That's what she wised for?" asked Rosemary incredulously.
"Hey!" said Angelina switching back to English, "We have to get to the Witch and quick.. because it wound like the other magical girl can't handle it."
"Really? Wow…" said Rosemary.
"Let's go." Said Diana.
They ran as fast as they could to the center.
When they were gone the girl smiled.
"They came after all…" thought the girl.
In the center of the Labyrinth, the magical girl, a girl named Mami Tomoe (who had blond hair tied into curly pigtails, her magical girl costume was dress with a white top, a yellow skirl, a brown bodice, grey and white stripped knee high socks, brown and white boot and a brown hat on with hat with a white fluffy thing with her soul gem in a flower shaped hair pin), was fighting the witch. She shot it with a massive canon, but suddenly out of it's mouth giant clown like worm thing popped out…
It was the witches true form.
Mami froze as the witch was about to bite down… however suddenly it hit a barrier.
("What?") asked Mami.
Nearby two girls who were magical girl candidates, were surprised.
One had short pink hair that was put into pigtails and the other had short light blue hair.
("Where did that barrier come from?") asked the blue haired girl.
That was when all of them noticed the American magical girl.
"All right!" said Diana, "Angelina you deal with the Magical Girl, Lenora and Rosemary you handle the witch and I'll take care of the other body!"
The four of them nodded.
Angelina jumped down to Mami.
("Who are you?") asked Mami.
("Don't worry, we're not here to poach your territory, we're just here for a few weeks…") explained Angelina.
Mami was surprised she hadn't expected her to speak Japanese.
Wit the fight, Rosemary created twin pistols and began to shoot at the witch, it blew up and created another body.
"Wow… this a good one." Said Lenora.
Lenora created many daggers and sent them at the witch. The daggers were covers in her barriers so they had extra cutting powers to them and sliced up the witch real good, but it just sprouted another body.
Mami watched surprised.
("Who are you?") asked Mami.
("Oh my name is Angelina… I'm from America.") she explained.
Mami was surprised.
"Hey!" shouted Diana.
They turned to see Diana sitting a table that was part of the barrier, she appeared to sitting on something.
"Finish her!" yelled Diana.
Lenora waves her arms suddenly appeared all along the witch's body slicing it into pieces. Thanks to this not only was the witch dead but the Grief Seed appeared.
The labyrinth began to vanish. All of the magical girl began to de-transform. Once it was gone.
"All right! Translation link set, say thing you'll hear them speak English and they're hear you in Japanese!" said Gobey.
"Wait… you could do that?" asked Sabrina.
"Hellz yeah!" said Gobey.
Mami and the other two girls stared at them.
"Whoa! Who's into bondage! Kinky!" said Gobey.
Sabrina face palmed.
Mami began to blush.
"And with that Gobey turned his first impression…" said Rosemary as she was walking over to the Greif Seed which she immediately tossed at Mami.
"Wait…" said Mami.
"We don't need it." Said Diana.
"What?" asked Mami.
"We have plenty of Greif Seeds… more than a enough for this trip." Said Angelina.
Mami was surprised.
"Um… Mami…" said Madoka.
Yes, the black haired girl was still tied up.
"Oh fine…" said Mami.
She released the girl from her bonds.
"Next time…" said Mami.
"You owe her one…" said Rosemary.
"What?" asked Mami.
"She's the one who told us how to beat the witch." Explained Angelina, "If she didn't tell us how beat it then you probably would have died."
"Fine…" said Mami, "Next time we see each other won't fight."
The girl nodded and left.
It was quiet until the blue haired girl suddenly yelled.
"Okay! Who are you!" yelled Sayaka.
"Seriously?" asked Lenora, "A girl who hasn't even contracted yet should know her place when it comes to us."
"Lenora…" muttered Angelina.
"You know it's acting like that is why the Daly City girls think we're spoiled brats." Said Diana.
Lenora scowled.
"Also you owe me lunches and dinner for the next week." Said Diana, "I literally helped beat a witch sitting down!"
Rosemary and Sabrina both started laughing at that one.
"Sayaka might have been rude... but why did you come all this way?" asked Mami.
"Oh I guess we introduce ourselves." Said Diana, "With the expectation of Rosemary, our home turf is San Francisco."
"Wait San Francisco?" asked Mami then her eyes winded, "What are Magical Girls from the Witches Den doing here?"
"Witches Den?" asked the pink haired.
Gobey stared at the pink haired girl.
"Sabs…" Gobey told her telepathically, "That girl must not make a contract…"
"What?" thought Sabrina.
However Kyubey (the incubator for most of the world) looked at the four Magical Girls.
"So the Magical Girls of the famous Witches Den are here…" thought Kyubey, "Someone must of told them about Walpurgis Night… this will be a problem."
This was only the beginning of the trip… and who knows what the future will hold… After all, Mitakihara city was nothing compared to the Witches Den.
Next Time: The Girls of the Witches den give proper introduction to Mami and her students. However Rosemary ends up rubbing them the wrong way with certain words. Will at least one o them become a Magical Girl? Find out next time!
A/N: Once again this not a fix fic.
