The Holy Quintet, the Black Egrets, and the Scout Regiment — united under one cause and one understanding — continue their journey in this vast unknown world. Each arrived from their own worlds, some of which have merged into one, causing overhauling consequences. They haven't come up with a name for their alliance, but out of their debate, Madoka suggested a name: The Filia Pact. Despite the confusion around that name, most agreed on the name for now.

The Knight, Vitomir Riley Pryus, has shown to be at first a unknown stranger speaking nonsense. Now, he has shown himself a threat to their worlds through a power yet to be understood. This world this alliance came to is his realm, and the tower is his castle.

The Filia Pact continued their journey, the Holy Quintet kept on a lookout for Homura and Kyubey, who have gone missing when they arrived in this vast world. Despite that, everyone had to be on a lookout for Pryus for there is no idea when he'll appear and act.


Leaving the forests, they arrive in a mountain trail that leads to an abandoned settlement with stones walls. Every food, livestock, and supply was still fresh, and the overall settlement vacant enough for the alliance to stay for the night. The Egret's Airship had no place to land, so it was placed on sky patrol, circling the settlement.

Hange was able to find a place with an open space to perform her research on the crystal infection, needing Sayaka and Parasoul present. She found her work a lot easier with the information Molly provided from the Black Egret's research.

That night, most of people in the The Filia Pact was up. Madoka and Kyoko hung out with Eren Mikasa, and Armin at one of the walls. Peacock and Avery were also there to hang out as well, killing some time before they decided to get some beauty rest.

They had a conversation mostly about themselves and their home.

Eren, Mikasa, and Armin had a home in a Wall Districts until on day a Colossal Titan and an Armored Titan breached the walls. They lost their families during and following the breach. As they got older, Eren joined the Military, vowing to seek vengeance against the Titans; Mikasa joined to look after Eren; Armin joined with the two as their friend. Together, they joined the Survey Crop to go outside the wall and contribute their effort in fighting for Humanity."

"I guess I can't top that," Kyoko admitted, "I've lost my family when I was young, but when I came to Mitakihara, I joined the Holy Quintet with new friends. My life kind of turned around at that point. And I think we already told you guys this the other night, but we did save our world from Witches."

"I wish we can do that for our world," Eren replied, killing all the titans and saving humanity in the end."

"You know, our world never has this 'magic'. Instead, we go with the technology we have at the time," Armin explained, "And we slowly progress for the sake of Humanity and combating the Titans. It's our Military Duty."

"By the way, are you sure we should leave Sayaka and Parasoul with Miss Zoe," Madoka concerningly asked, "She's been very strange ever since they accepted in helping her research."

"Don't worry, she's kind of been like that with me at time," Eren assured.

"We did say Eren has the ability to transform into a titan, remember?" Mikasa reminded.

"I still don't believe that stuff," Kyoko taunted.

"But it's true! I was able to save two distrcts from being overrun by titans!" Eren face Kyoko. "I was also able to take many titans down alone!"

"Prove it," Kyoko demanded, "Let me see how you transform into a titan."

"Want to see?" Eren had his right hand ready. "Your magic against my Titan abilities."

"I would like to see you prove me wrong, Titan-boy. Let's go a few rounds." Kyoko smiled with her red Soul Gem ready.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, Kyoko." Mikasa halted.

Peacock laughed. "My money's on Kyoko."

"Peacock-san, that's really mean," Madoka commented.

"Come on, it's just a joke, but you want to see it too, right?" Peacock shrugs.

"No." Madoka shook her head.

As their conversations kept on going, Madoka started to see Peacock walk away to smoke a cigar. Peacock was quiet and concerned as she gazed at the view of the mountains; she had the cigar in her hand, but it wasn't lit. Avery was sitting at the top of Peacock's hat, being bored. Madoka can also see a serious look on her face, deep in thought. Peacock then had a tear in her eye and she wiped it off.

Madoka decided to go over and have a chat with her. She left Kyoko to talk with Eren, Mikasa, and Armin.

"Peacock-san?" Madoka approached her.

"Beat it, can your see Peacock is busy?" Avery responded.

"Avery, it's alright." Peacock puts down the unlit cigar and looked at Madoka with a frown. "What is it?"

"You've been quiet for a while, and you look upset," Madoka pointed out, "Is there something wrong?"

Peacock didn't want to answer, but she sighs and decided to speak up.

"It's about the Skullgirl, your friend Filia." Peacock moves the brim of her hat down. "Did she ever tell you about what her wish was when she obtained the Skullheart?"

Madoka nods. "She said... she wanted her friend, Carol, to have a normal life again."

"Carol... I see." Peacock looked at the open view of the mountain's forests.

"Did everyone in your world really have intentions to claim that Skullheart," Madoka wondered, "Even if it meant sacrificing so much for it."

Peacock sighed. "Everyone wants their hands on it for that one wish, kid. However, there are people like me and Big Band who know that it must be destroyed because it's dangerous."

Madoka carefully read Peacock's face, and she can tell that Peacock knows something about the Skullheart. "You know someone who used it before Filia, do you?"

Peacock remained silent for a while until she spoke up with a confession. "She was previous Skullgirl before your friend claimed it — A friend named Marie. She made a wish that would punish those who wrong us in the past. Thanks to that Hair-For-Brain years later, Marie's gone." She picked up the cigar, lit it, and smoked. "All I can do for my friend is grant her that wish, but even that promised is finished. Medici Tower is gone."

"Is that why you joined us?" Madoka was surprised to hear all this from Peacock.

"The Skullheart is in the hands of that knight, it still needs to be destroyed," Peacock noted, "I know your care for Filia, but I... Sorry. It's something that needs to be done."

Madoka looked down. She saw a friendship with Filia despite having met for a short amount of time until her death in the hands of Pryus. The Skullheart and the Skullgirl is nothing like the Soul Gem and a Magical Girl, and Madoka shouldn't compare them like this.

"Peacock... if you or Princess Parasoul are still seeking to destroy the Skullheart," Madoka accepted, "I won't stop you two..."

"It's for the best," Peacock understood.

Soon, Armin detected something. "Look! In the sky!"

When everyone on the wall looked, they see some kind of comet coming down. At first, Madoka, Kyoko, and Peacock and make out the shape: a human-like figure. Eren, Mikasa, and Armin were slightly confused by the shape.

Once the comet crashed into the gorge, Kyoko was the first to act. She jumped off the wall and started making her way to the crash site. Peacock was interested in it, leaving the wall and going after Kyoko. Eren, Mikasa, and Armin went off to get Corporal Levi. Madoka runs off to check on Sayaka and Parasoul to tell them. Levi and Parasoul would later help investigate.


When Kyoko and Peacock arrived at the site, the human-like figure turns out to be this mech-suit in black and white. It's armed with some kind of staff that projected something; It was also armed with a few cannons and firearms. Overall, the mech-suit is in one piece, lying on its side with a dent on its chest.

"It's... a Gundam. I thought they were all anime and action figures." Peacock took a quick examination. She can hear system going down. "Seems this big machine is out of battery."

"Same here,I can hear it turning off... but what the hell is it doing here?" Kyoko then examined the dent in the mech-suit's chest. "If I'm correct... the pilot would be in here."

Peacock took out a stethoscope and checked the chest. She then knocked on it a few times only to find it hollow.

"Only one way to find out!" Peacock tosses the stethoscope and takes out a crowbar. She attempts to pry a doorway into the pilot seat.

Avery joined in with a blowtorch and mask. Despite their attempts open it forcefully, they weren't able to get it open.

Soon, Levi and Parasoul arrive with their horse riders and motorcycle brigade respectively. Hange and Sayaka were with them on the motorcycle brigade. Hange really liked her first experience being a passenger on a motorcycle, and she even ended up fainting once she saw the Gundam.

"A Gundam?" Parasoul has sort of known about these machines but only saw them as fiction.

"A real-life size Gundam," Sayaka corrected.

"And we think the pilot is still in there." Kyoko pointed to the chest of the Gundam.

Levi was impressed by the Gundam, but looked sort of indifferent to the discovery.

Gundams — High performance mobile suits constructed out of a unique alloy called Gundanium. They're equiped with experimental technology that's available to them at the time of their creation. The name stood for Genetic on Universal Neutraly Different Alloy-nium Mobile suit". This is the known information that most of the people know other then that it's from a world where Gundams exist.

Levi dismounts to tries to cut the chest open with his blades. The blades break with just one strike. "It's tougher than Titan armor."

Suddenly, the chest opens with some smoke coming out. Levi, Kyoko, and Peacock step back. As it open, it reveals that there is a pilot inside the Gundam. The Gundam pilot is a young man with light brown hair and braided ponytail. He also has blue eyes and fair skin. He wore a unique jacket with a fur collar, black slacks, and cobalt blue shirt. He appeared conscious at first, breathing heavily, but soon fell unconscious.

Kyoko and Peacock took the young man out of the pilot's seat before he the smoke inside makes him suffocate. Peacock retrieved the stethoscope she tossed aside and used it to check for a heartbeat.

"Yup! Still alive!" Peacock confirmed.

"I'll have my men take him to get recovery," Parasoul offered.

"What about the Gundam? It's not broken, but it needs a recharge," Kyoko questioned.

"I'll have Molly get the airship to pick this up," Parasoul replied, "Roxie will repair this."

Levi mounts his horse. "If we're taking this man back to recover, we might as well get someone to watch over them." Levi then looked to Sayaka. "You'll do it."

Sayaka looked at Levi. "Me? Why?"

"Because I said so," Levi intimidated, "Just don't let him die."

"...Fine." Sayaka rolls her eyes.


Parasoul and with some Egret troops while the Egret motorcycle brigade carried Sayaka, Kyoko, and Peacock back to the settlement. Levi followed. The airship flew over them, heading to Parasoul's location to pick up the Gundam.

The Gundam Pilot was taken to some medics station at a clinic. There, they patched him and checking his health before placing him in a bed. Sayaka, who's following Levi's order, remained with the Gundam Pilot to keep watch. She found this responsibility to be kind of boring. Then again, she did find the Pilot to be cute at first.

Sayaka looked at him before taking out her soul gem. She looked carefully at what was inside the gem.

There was some kind of silhouette inside: a mermaid in knight's armor and a somber cape. It's tail is grotesque yet elegant, adorned in gloomy scales and heart-shaped fin. It orchestrated that only Sayaka can hear. It's the strong attractive melancholy of an orchestra's melody with violins stressing sorrow and drums booming misery. Sayaka can make out the name of this musical piece: Symposium Magarum — "Symposium of Witches."

One of the violins in that musical piece suddenly struck Sayaka with a memory, playing with great emotions. They were painful memories of how Sayaka became a Magical Girl.

Sayaka used her wish to heal a boy that she loved. Kyubey granted it, and Sayaka made the contract to become an "Ally of Justice". But things began to change when she later discovers that there is another girl that has fallen in love with the boy. And it didn't help that she had problems revealing her magical girl identity to the boy. In the end, that girl ended up winning that boy's affection, leaving Sayaka alone and heartbroken. It was too late to fix that. Since then, Sayaka accepts the truth that's her love is better off with another as long as he's happy. And things won't be better for her if she successfully did confess her feelings to him.

The music is starting to make Sayaka a little drowzy before putting her to sleep.
