Disclaimer: I do not own either of these franchises or their characters.
Author Note: This is the beginning of The Grand Scheme: Life Game, a series of deconstructions of popular AUs with this one being the crossover AU. The plot of 5D's is actually fairly gruesome what with all the death and despair and all that yummy stuff so any universe they ended up would have ended in tears, even more idealistic series. You see shows like Lucky Star, they don't have resurrection so remember how Kiryu died in Yuusei's arms? Yeah that be staying. Now I have chosen Puella Magi Madoka Magica for the purposes of this as I wanted a Darker and Edgier deconstruction where you follow the universe's rules. So let's write a crossover following the major rules of the universe (note some have been changed for purposes of keeping the overall plot (as in the plots of the arcs themselves {IE: Backstories are subject to change, be added, character quirks will be here, dialogue change, minor characters made relevant, the usual works as well as any elements too far away from the universe's rules being changed or excluded, -excluding Fortune Cup which we are skipping completely and replacing with a Team Satisfaction Arc- and the death rate) as close to 5D's as possible but most rules are being followed) Also due to my lack of runes I've used Ciphers in replace of them. First three to review get what Ciphers I used and first gets the key word, free of charge!:
Puella Magi Yuusei Magica
I'm Not Satisfied Yet
Once upon a time there was a team of Mahou Shoujo. They lived for a very long time and protected the city with a fever that no one else would dare have. They were full of hope and kindness and kept their magic use in check. Once upon a time there was a team of Mahou Shoujo and one of them, a very kind man with a young son and a loving wife, decided to abolish the use of Soul Gems and so sought out a way to make them unnecessary. Once upon a time there was a team of Mahou Shoujo and they went mysteriously missing as the city they sought to protect was torn apart and there were only three survivors of the massacre. Once upon a time there was a wish.

"Really a wish?" Crow asks the small screen in his hand with a grin.
"Yes, truly any wish you desire can be granted with a price." The voice coming from it says deep and slow.
"Any wish?" Kiryu smiles and he licked his lips with that predatory feel that made me feel so uncomfortable sometimes.
"As I have said before and will say again, truly any wish you desire can be granted with a price, so what do you say? For a wish would you protect this city with your lives?" The voice asks as a piano plays in the background.
"Of course!" Jack scoffs.
"Be careful Jack, your wish might go wrong." I say in a thin voice.
"Wrong?" He snorts at me. "I'm never wrong and surely nothing I wish for is wrong."
Crow laughs slightly at that and Kiryu's grin grows. I only frown. I have nothing worth wishing for, it'd be a waste of the universe's energy, a burden. I would perhaps wish for my parents back, a happy life but that is ultimately a selfish wish and that is unacceptable for me.
"I wish that I could protect everyone in this city!" Kiryu chirps with the enthusiasm I usually enjoy.
Kiryu is so selfless; I admire that about him.
Jack ponders about it and flashes me a sad little smile.
"I'm very sorry you three but a selfish desire takes priority over this city for me. You'll do fine without me, alright? There's another city that holds the apple of my eye dearly." Jack begins.
"No way Jack! Team Satisfaction will always stay together! Don't be so selfish! So greedy!" The white haired man yells back before calming down. "I'm sorry, I'm just under some stress is all."
Kiryu's been trying to think of a plan of action to free Satellite from the holds of the vicious gangs and criminals that will here. Every single thing he's tried has been a bust and Jack once walked out of a fight; they're bonds have been strained ever since. I understand why Jack would want to leave but I never will; our bonds are too tight, our feelings to intertwined. I could never leave him alone.
"Kiryu, could I make my wish later please, I'm not ready yet." Crow stutters over his words; I think he's afraid of Kiryu.
Understandable; Kiryu can sometimes be quite terrifying but he has only good intentions at heart. He'd never hurt any of us, he'd never fall into darkness or despair. He's a good man with a good heart. I wish more people would see that.
"Alright Crow! But make sure to make one! This is the only way to keep this place safe after all!" Kiryu grins again as he runs a hand through his hair.
"Yeah." Our youngest member replies as he fidgets with his earrings.
Jack looks rather sheepish.
"I don't know what to wish for Kiryu." He mumbles.
"Simple! Wish for strength, for power, anything to help the city really!"
Jack frowns before looking deep into my eyes and snatching the small computer that everyone has out of Crow's hand.
"Kiryu, I'm scared, I don't want to!" The King of Trash cries as he rocks back and forth on the balls of his feet.
Kiryu's eyes soften from their catlike nature to a warm honey brown.
"Oh Jack, there's nothing to be afraid of. Nothing bad's going to happen to any of us. These wishes are to keep others safe! To keep our selves safe! There's no way we'll ever regret this!" Our leader shouts with is eyes shining with courage and hope.
"Al-alright. But, but Kiryu, my wish is selfish." A violet hued person speaks.
"Hmrn. Well what is it then? Let me have it."
Crow sulks to the back and stares out at the city from the rooftop. The wind blows his earrings backwards and forwards; it's too strong today. I sit by him but face the two older ones. The wind threatens to knock me to my death but I fight back until I'm secure.
"You four have a great potential." The voice starts up again. "If you all make wishes by the year's end than you'll all live in Neo-Domino peacefully until the end of your days. You can even live there until the year is up. So a wish and your freedom for little more than you dedication to our city. Does that seem adequate to you, what do you call yourselves? Oh yes, Team Satisfaction?"
"Neo-Domino." Our leader wonders out loud.
At that repeat Jack's eyes flash with an emotion I've never seen before.
"So we all got to make wishes?" Crow asks as the wind blows even his spiked hair into it.
"Indeed." The voice repeats.
Crow frowns at that. I also turn my mouth into a kind of crooked half smile, half frown. Kiryu is confused and Jack looks like he'd smile if he wasn't with us.
"Please contract us again if you decide upon your wishes." The voice says in a monotone that concerns me; it's almost like a machine with no emotions, no real empathy.
"I have decided on mine but I want passage to the city first!" Jack cries out.
Crow glances at him through the corner of his eye and begins to wave his hand around in the cold air. Kiryu seems to be in anger; justified as it is, this is Jack here.
"Hmn. I will have you four picked up shortly then. Then you may all have your wishes." The voice speaks as if it were thinking to itself.
A distinct clicking sound and we are left alone once more. No one has said a word yet, ah. Jack turns to walk away. Crow sighs into the air and watches as feathers are carried in the currents of it. Kiryu grabs Jack by the white jacket and forces him to his knees.
"What was that?" He asks with a snarl.
"I want to go to the city. A King has no place in a field of trash." Jack explains in the ugly truth.
"Field of trash? This is our home Jack! Where we took our first breaths, where we first met. You can't just abandon it and all the people in it! They need heroes too!" Kiryu cries out.
"I have no function here."
"No function? You're a member of Team Satisfaction!"
"Hmn. Let me go. You can't hold me here any longer! I'm leaving and I won't return. Though you can come with me."
"Come with you? To that city that has forsaken us? No! Never! NEVER JACK!"
"Suit yourself. Are you two coming with me?"
Crow stops staring at the feathers on the breeze to look at Jack.
"Only if Kiryu and Yuusei come too." he breathes out as the wind takes the breath.
"Yuusei?" The King asks.
"I can't go, not without Kiryu." I confess.
"So you're all going to just leave me? Stay here until you rot? Hmn, I thought you had ambition, drive, dreams-" He tries to start.
"You know nothing of my dreams traitor!" Kiryu snaps back.
I look to Crow -he usually plays the mediator- and he smiles at the sky.
"Fine. Goodbye. I'll see you again one day I ho-"
"Shut up Jack! Just stay! Just stay! There's no freedom in Neo-Domino either! Stay with us Jack! Please! Please!" He shrieks in return as he clutches at Jack's jacket and pulls him back and flips him around.
Kiryu's always cared so much about us; he panics when he feels like we're in danger and gets angry and upset and begs.
"Kiryu please stop. You're making a fool of yourself. I'm losing respect for you. I'm leaving and that's final." The blonde replies with a callous nature.
He slips the jacket and off and starts descending the building. Crow is still looking at the sky.
"Aren't you going to do anything? You two are close!" Our leader screams towards him.
"I can't stop him either. He's dead set, it's his wish you see." Crow replies.
Kiryu's eyes flash with an emotion I have never seen before.
"Then, then I suppose that we'll have to go with him! Stay and protect him from his own selfish wishes!" The white haired man cries out with such remarkable dedication.
Crow stands up and lets the feathers he's been catching -they're black- go to the air and be carried away. He trails off after Jack with his hands in his pockets. Kiryu goes next with a much calmer expression than previously. He always gets so passionate about us, as if we were his own children. I follow last as usual and survey my surroundings. This building is falling apart and moss is collecting in the cracks. Many people say it's more trash than the others but to me it's a hidden treasure. It still stands and though the bannister on the staircase is lose and the roof fell partially in it's still a wonderful place for me. It's so calm and it stays warm enough if we all huddle together and lit a fire. It's beautiful. I don't think I've ever seen anything more beautiful than this.
We all continue our pace towards the gap between Neo-Domino and Satellite. According to The Director and the rest of the MSO and Security they do this to protect the citizens of Neo-Domino from the high Majo population of Satellite. Kiryu says that's wrong but I'm not sure. I've seen a lot of Labyrinths though they were always gone before too many people were injured. Apparently there is a team of Mahou Shoujo that live in the Bad Area that are keeping the Majo population under control. I've never seen them though so it's probably just a rumor.
We four stand in front of the gap and stare out at the brightly coloured city before us. Jack's eyes fill with an emotion I've never seen before. Kiryu looks like he's going to be sick. A tall man with greasy black hair and brown eyes escorts us into a helicopter. He puts a hand on Kiryu's shoulder only to have it slapped off. The man frowns.
"I am Tetsu Ushio and I am here to take you from Satellite to Neo-Domino on request of The Director, okay scumbags?" The man, Ushio, explains.
"Whatever. I'm not satisfied yet. I don't think I can be satisfied in that city. I hope you know where you're bringing us Jack." Kiryu sighs, making it clear he doesn't want to be here in the slightest.
Ushio sneers and seats him in the back. I sit down beside our leader. Jack sits as close to the front as he can and Crow sits beside him; for the best as Crow is by far the most laid back of all of us.
The helicopter takes off and I wave my beloved city goodbye. We'll return after Kiryu shows Jack the selfishness and foolishness of his petty wish before he truly wishes it.
