Chapter 2: Santa Goes Kyubey Hunting

Even though it was her first day at school in such an awkward place in the school year it went the same as most time loops. Ms. Saotome talks about her failed love life and then she gets introduced.

Of course she delivered her usual message to Madoka.

During that time she noticed something.

Kyousuke was fine. He was in class with no injury at all. Either redo to the change in year it never happened or it was one of the rare time lines when that surgery got discovered and he got it.

Either way this time line she didn't have to worry about Sayaka.

Then again there would be a chance that he could hold until Christmas or something.

Well it didn't matter, he wasn't becoming a magical girl in this time line, just like those time lines… and that timeline when he played the trombone… that was a rather interesting one…

But there was one thing that was more important right now… stopping Kyubey this afternoon.

Homura decided to look for Kyubey. That was when she found him, she started chasing him. As she did she heard gunshots and suddenly Kyubey was dead.

She turned around and saw it was Santa.

"Oh hello Ho-ho-Homura." Said Santa.

"Please don't say my name like that." Deadpanned Homura.

"Sorry couldn't help myself." Sighed Santa.

"What are you doing here?" asked Homura.

"I know you're trying to prevent him from making a contract with Madoka." Said Santa.

"How do you knew about that?" asked Homura.

"Don't you know, I see you when you're sleeping and I know when you're awake." Said Santa.

Homura stared at him shaking ever so slightly.

"I know… my wife says I should stop pointing that out." Sighed Santa.

"So why are you here?" asked Homura once again pushing aside her creeped out feeling.

"He's here because of the Krampus." said a new Kyubey coming out of the shadows, he ate his corpse.

Then Santa shot him again.

"I hate the Incubators." Said Santa, "I kill every single one when I get the chance, which isn't often since they live in the North Pole."

"Oh come now you're just being petty…" said Kyubey showing up again.

Bang!

"Can you really do this all day?" asked Kyubey.

Bang!

"You should be training the magical girls of this city." Sid Kyubey.

Bang!

"Can I at least dispose of these bodies in peace?" asked Kyubey.

Bang!

"Can I at least make this contract." Said Kyubey.

Bang!

Kyubey didn't returned.

"we have to find him before he make the contract." Said Santa.

Homura nodded, the two searched for him.

They continued the search that was when she saw that Madoka was holding up an injured Kyubey.

Homura swelled her feelings and demanded Kyubey. However Madoka was alone this time, so Sayaka didn't come to save her. But then that witch once again showed up nonetheless.

They were surrounded by Familiars that was when suddenly the familiars were suddenly shot by green bolts of energy. Homura turned to see it was Mrs. Claus in a magical girl costume that was a green dress while what looked to be a green wand.

"Homura! Get her our of here!" said Mrs. Claus, "Kyoko and Mami will back me up!"

"Wait… you're a…" said Homura.

"Get her out of here!" yelled Mrs. Claus again.

Homura grabbed Madoka's hand and led her out of there.

On the way out they ended up passing Kyoko and Mami who had gotten word about the Witch Attack.

They managed to get out the labyrinth.

"Madoka please leave." Said Homura, "What's going on is very dangerous and doesn't concern you."

She managed to grab Kyubey out of her arms, then went back to into the labyrinth.

"What's going on?" asked Madoka.

"What's a young girl like you doing here?" asked Santa.

"Well I…" said Madoka.

"Come on… it's too dangerous to be in a place like this." Said Santa making sure she was nowhere near it.

Inside the Labyrinth, Homura headed towards the center that was when it disappeared.

She found Mrs. Claus handing it to Mami.

"Are you sure?" asked Mami looking at Kyoko.

"I have more at home." Said Kyoko.

"Thank you." Said Mami taking it.

"You're a magical girl." Said Homura looking at Mrs. Claus.

"Correction, an enteral magical girl." Said Mrs. Claus.

"An enteral magical girl?" asked Homura.

"I'll explain another time." Said Mrs. Claus.

"Well I had a good day." Said Santa showing up.

Mrs. Claus mentioned over to Kyoko and Mami.

"Oh hello girls, how is training going?" asked Santa.

"Fine…" both answered.

"Well I need to talk to Homura about something." Said Santa.

"Dear…" said Mrs. Claus changing to a normal outfit, "Should you be dressed like that in public."

Santa laughed and with sparkles of magic he was now dressed in nice red jacket and jeans, while he still had a white beard and hair, he stood out a little less.

"Come along Homura." Said Santa.

Homura went with Santa after changed out of her magical girl costume.

The two went to the café at the mall to talk.

"Why are you killing the Incubators?" asked Homura.

"Do I need a reason." Responded Santa.

Homura didn't answer back.

"But really I have a reason… and I won't tell you. Not yet anyway…" said Santa.

Homura was quiet.

"My wife should be the one to tell you that." Said Santa.

"I see…" said Homura.

"You care about that girl… don't you… she's the one you want to prevent." Said Santa.

"She is…" said Homura.

"Protect her… you seem to much stronger than she seems. You don't need much training. But you should show up every once in a while." Said Santa.

Homura nodded.

"That girl must be protected… I know you will make a wish to make sure of that, but for now you must make sure she doesn't become a magical girl… knowing Kyubey he will include to become a witch… and sending her abilities it will be far worse than the Krampus."

"I know." Answered Homura.

"By the way! Can you give this to Kyubey next time you see him." Said Santa.

He gave her a Candy Cane.

"It's poison." Said Santa, "Now if you excuse me, I'm off to find the little bastard again… I know it will take thousands of years until he turns out of bodies but it's always a good idea to kill them."

Santa got up to leave, Homura watched him leave.

She was getting to trust him more and more however she didn't know if she would ever the be same after hearing Santa say "Little Bastard".

It sounded so wrong…

Next Time: Homura joins in training while keeping Madoka safe and learning about this Timeline's Enteral Magical Girls... what are Eternal Magical Girls. Meanwhile Mrs. Claus starts up training... turns out she's weird when it comes to training...
