Hey guys! This story was inspired mainly by the Puella Magi Madoka Magica fanfiction 'Resonance Days' by Takerfoxx which got me interested to see what could be done using Oktavia as a character once they have regained their sanity. Since she basically functions as a near blank slate that is moulded by the world around her and their own fractured memories. Anyway this chapter is just a prologue so it'll basically be both of the encounters with Oktavia von Seckendorff from mainly the witch's perspective. I hope you enjoy and any recommendations and constructive criticism is welcome!

*Story Start*

Within a broken realm where the laws of physics seemed to no longer exist a massive form hatched from a small metallic cage that would soon become the heart of a new witch and the representation of her grief.

It's figure was a large and imposing yet odd sight within the distorted reality which was only further enhanced by the long black cloak which seemed to be made of darkness itself on her upper body while her lower body was a mermaids tail with scales of blue, purple and black. Just below the neck on the cloak appeared to be a bright pink bow.

A large cloth-like collar rose up from behind the witch's head making a heart shape coloured with blue, cream and black behind the three eyed helm which seemed to have a crown blended into the top.

Finally is it's arms which were adorned in knight's armour and held a cutlass scaled to it's own form's size.

The witch's mind awoken from the depths of her despair and her hazy thoughts come into focus with the sound of music reverberating throughout the fractured world before her. She couldn't remember how she got here or what she was doing before she arrived but the knight knew that Oktavia von Seckendorff 'the Mermaid Witch' was her name and that this place was her home 'her Labyrinth' a whisper in her mind supplied. For now it was only a mess of twisted platforms and train tracks with black musical notes floating around in endless streams, but there was plenty of time to change that and create her perfect concert hall that was already coming together in the twisted husk that remained of her mind.

Yes, she definitely likes it here in her new home yet something pricked at the witch's thoughts. Something was out of place that was for certain yet the colossus couldn't quite figure out what was wrong with her new lair.

Her clouded gaze swept over the twisted platforms and rails and fell upon a tiny blue haired figure falling before her own massive form, the small voice supplying that the creature was a 'human'. It's gaze then moved forward to the back of her hall and onto another small figure, one with red hair and red spear saturated with potent magic. The red one shouted out the word "Sayaka" causing a dull throb in the back of the witch's fractured mind while it charged with it's weapon in tow.

How dare this human come into her labyrinth, her stage is not ready to play music yet! With but a thought a barrage a wheels formed in the air and propelled at the red headed distraction.

The human continued her path unhindered before leaping into the air and latching onto the still falling blue haired one. Now seeing the small being clearly caused another painful ache in the giant knight's mind, one that seemed to twist at the black core of her soul as images sprung forth into her thoughts. A blue haired girl talking with the red one at a church which then bled away into sitting together at a train station. The witch decided to name this human 'Red'.

A tortured scream erupted from the mermaid witch as darkness soon ate away at what could have only been memories leaving only the need to destroy and consume the essence of the red haired figure before her in order to weaken the soul crushing despair that it could suddenly feel bearing down on it's core.

"What the hell? What are you?! What have you done to Sayaka!" 'Red' yelled out in what registered as anger, the sound almost being drowned out by the witches own screams of rage and agony.

Storms of train wheels cut through the air while making their path towards the small being, crashing down around the carrier and the corpse 'Our corpse'.

Finally a wheel was about the strike the intruder, soon she can create her concert hall and minions in peace!

Moments before impact a spark erupted from the wheel and it shattered and a black haired human was now standing upon one of the rails of her concert hall. The small black haired figure which has been dubbed 'Black' spoke to 'Red' but the Witch could not hear or truly comprehend the small being's strange noises.

Suddenly 'Black' was right next to the other small human, what is this strange power that she has? Frustration built upon the mermaid knight's rage while the voice dragged knowledge further from the depths of her mind 'Magical Girl'. For some strange reason the words brought another feeling of crushing despair that clouded what little coherent thought the Knight held. Before she could further assault her hated intruders the two were gone in an instant and she could feel it in the depths of her core that they were out of her sanctuary.

Oktavia glared across the fractured realm to ensure that they were truly gone and after 10 minutes the intruders had yet to return. Turning her focus onto her home the platforms began to pull together and form the basis of her Labyrinth and soon enough Oktavia was floating in the center of a grand Concert hall while her familiars formed in their places from the power exuded from her grief seed.

Now it is finally time to practice to create a masterpiece 'Maybe then HE will love me.'


The peace did not last and the two humans from before returned to interrupt her orchestra along with another pink haired human which brought small flashes of warmth followed by her all consuming grief.

Oktavia had changed somewhat from the last encounter, her cloak cast aside to reveal a torso of knight's armour with images decorating it such as a sword piercing a heart at the bottom of the torso and diamond like shapes on the middle section with a single red circle right in the below the neck of the metallic covering was the same bright pink bow that was on the cloak which now sat between dark blue shoulder plates which drew attention to heart collar behind the helmet.

Red and Black protected the pink one 'Ma*o*a' as it shouted something at her in it's human language. The red one also spoke as the train wheel barrages struck it over and over, it's words coming into focus in a strange bout of clarity in the Witch's chaotic thoughts as a flood of knowledge of the japanese language was released from the depths of Oktavia's broken mind. "Oh I get what'cha doin'.This is payback ain't it?" '*yoko' called out as the wheels continued to bear down upon the spear wielding magical girl.

"Funny, When we met we tried to kill each other then too. I thought you were a wuss. But no matter how hard I beat you...man you just kept gettin' right back up didn'tcha." As the red human spoke the overflowing darkness Oktavia felt within her grief seed lessened slightly.

"I know you're mad. You can't forgive anyone for what happened to you, I get it. Once you get over that stuff come back to us okay?". A another wheel struck its target and flung the red magical girl off her feet while another homed in on it's airborne target causing her to crash against the ceiling before falling to the feet of 'Mado**'

The despair soon drowned out what emotion what coaxed out of the Witch and brought back it's rage in force. With a growl Oktavia reached forward with a metal gauntlet and gripped the pink haired human in a painful grip causing '*adoka' to let out a strained "Sayaka, Please stop this…".

"Damnit Sayaka!" 'Kyok*' screamed with a vicious expression before she leapt forward and severed the knight's arm with a single swipe of her spear causing dark blue paint-like blood to flood from the stubbed limb.

"Come on! You told me you believed in yourself, you said you only wanted to use your power to help people remember?!" 'Kyok*' yelled.

The Witch's mind was too clouded in rage and despair like the others of it's kin and thus responded with a single downward swipe of it's massive blade, cratering the ground into fragments. Mere seconds later the floor of the concert call crumbled downwards into a second concert hall surrounded by empty blue seats. The shadow of 'HIM' stood on one side while the black haired human caught 'Mad*ka' on the other.

The sounds of music halted and Oktavia's sight was drawn to the shadow of 'Ky**uke'. 'Kyo*o' spoke but the witch's attention was far too focused to truly make anything out and it's mind too drowned in it's own despair to even care.

Bladed chain-links erupted from the ground behind the spear wielding magical girl blocking the rest of the concert hall from 'Hom***' and the unconscious 'Mad*ka'. Which was then followed by spears erupting from the ground and forming into a massive chain link spear taller than Oktavia von Seckendorff herself while the magical girl who created in knelt down in pray upon the weapon.

The colossal weapon brought the mermaid witch's attention back to the only intruder remaining as the others appeared to have fled while her attention was away from them.

"I know Sayaka." 'Kyoko' spoke softly with a small smile adorning her face "It sucks to be alone, believe me I know. But it's okay now, 'cuz I'm here with you. Sayaka…"

The magical girl kissed her 'Soul Gem' and Oktavia's very being screamed out to flee as the spear burst alight in purple flames.

'Danger! Flee! No! Nonononnono!' The voice in her head screamed out in protest against the human while the massive spar launched forward and the soul gem shattered. Before the weapon struck into the witch's chest and Oktavia's world exploded into pain as she knew nothing more.

Oktavia von Seckondorff's dream of concert halls and orchestras came to an end as her consciousness was dragged into the grief seed that fell to the ground with a light clink of metal.
