Ring Wizard and Puella Magi Hope vs Despair
ESKK: Ok let's start this chapter folks.
(Start Chapter 2)
Shiro and Homura were battling against a Witches Familiar in the Labyrinth with Shiro as Wizard Flame Style and Homura in her Mahou Shoujo form as Wizard fired his gun at the opponent as did Homura with her hand gun weapon. Wizard then decided to end this as he then pulled the Thumb on the WizardSwordGun's hand Arthur causing the Song to play from it.
"C'MON AND SHOOT! SHAKE HANDS! C'MON AND SHOOT! SHAKE HANDS!"
"Finale." Wizard invoked as he was ready to end this.
"FLAME SHOOTING STRIKE! HI-HI-HI! HI-HI-HI!"
As Fire build up at the Guns barrel Wizard then fired as the magically boosted bullet flew at the Familiar destroying it as when it did the Witch burst causing the Labyrinth to vanish as well. As it did Wizard reverted to Shiro as Homura turned into her civilian form as Shiro sighed to this. "Another Familiar." Shiro said as these things were like Ghouls for Witches it seems.
"Why do you care it's not like you need them plus you have a surplus of those Grief Seeds." Homura said as Shiro nodded.
"Yeah but there not for me, there for Momoko in case she needs them in the middle of battle." Shiro said as he may have plenty to spare but Momoko was very reckless and at times stubborn as an ox.
"You never did tell me how you two came across Inoue." Homura finally said as Shiro stopped as he looked and saw Inoue walking by as he saw this.
"Tell her if you wish Shiro trust between allies is logically beneficial to all of us in the long run." Inoue said as he looked. "I'll head on back you talk if you wish." Inoue said as he began to take his leave to head over to Momoko to let her know of what was going on.
"Alright." Shiro said as he walked with Homura while holding his guitar case.
The two were soon walking down the side walk as Shiro held his guitar case and his school briefcase like bag as he did have classes earlier today but a last minute gig happened followed by the Familiar thus he was still in his school uniform. "It was a few years ago when me and Momoko were younger." Shiro began as he remembered that day.
(A Three Years Ago)
"We were driving home after Momoko was accepted into a class for advance learners, a grade school student got to skip over to high school in an instant and would probably skip over straight to college with how smart she was a child prodigy."
The scene showed Momoko laughing as she was talking about dinosaurs in a book and all the facts she knew about them. Shiro laughed also while their parents were driving up front. Shiro was a middle schooler in the same uniform for the boys at Madoka's school as no doubt at this time Madoka and Sayaka were still in grade school.
"It all happened so fast we never expected it to happen."
"It?" Homura asked as Shiro made a nod sound.
"Yeah." He began as the screen then showed a car lights at the side while the family was driving through a inter section as the car came out of nowhere and hit he car. "A crash and a bad one." Shiro said as in a flash the car was on its back with Shiro bloody and hurt with a large piece of the car stabbed into him while protecting Momoko as their parents were bloody and weren't moving.
Shiro looked to his parents and saw they weren't moving, dead as seeing his parents his hope gone drove the young boy to despair as he was dying and now the question was which would happen first, would his Phantom get out or would Shiro die before the Phantom could form.
"Oni-chan." Momoko said crying as she was hurt but not too bad as she looked to Shiro.
Shiro smiled at Momoko as blood came from the side of his mouth but then he cried out in pain as purple cracks appeared on his body. "Sorry Momoko, I won't be here long." Shiro said as Momoko knew what that meant.
"No! Oni-chan don't die please!" Momoko cried out as Shiro grasped in pain as dragon Wings popped out of his back. "Please Oni-chan don't go your my hope! Baka-Oni-chan!" Momoko called as Shiro was wide eyed at this.
"At that moment I remembered I was Momoko's hope, I was all she had left and if I didn't stay alive she would die also."
"I promise you Momoko." Shiro in the flashback began as he looked to Momoko. "I will hold onto hope. I'll be your light of hope!" Shiro called out as he forced the Phantom back into his body causing the wings to vanish and the purple cracks to glow gold and vanish but it did not stop the blood and fatal wound on him from bleeding out.
"I lost consciousness after that but Momoko and Inoue told me what happened when I passed out."
"I can save him." Inoue began as he appeared before Momoko. "If you both form a contract with me." He said as he looked to the two. "But be warned forming this contract will set you on a path you will not be able to leave. If you accept the Contract and make a wish then you will become a Mahou Shojou but in doing so you will eventually become a Witch the enemies which Mahou Shojou combat." Inoue said giving Momoko every piece of information she needs to know as he stood atop a wooden box with the Wizard Symbol on it. "I will not lie you may very well die if you accept this contract but if you wish for your brother to live this is your best and only shot, the paramedics won't be able to save him before it's too late." Inoue said using logic as the Ambulance wasn't close enough to save Shiro's life.
"Please save him!" Momoko called not even hesitating as she didn't want her elder brother to die.
"Very well, then what Wish shall your Soul Gem shine?" Inoue asked as Momoko looked.
"Save Shiro's life don't let him die!" Momoko begged as soon the large metal removed itself from Shiro as the injuries healed enough to make it look like he got pretty banged up like Momoko as soon and egg shaped Gem appeared as Inoue looked.
"We'll be in touch." Inoue said before he vanished.
(Flashback end)
"She and Inoue saved my life that day." Shiro said holding where the thing was stabbed into him. "And now I fight Witches, Phantoms, and protect the people to keep hope alive." Shiro said as he and Homura were sitting on a bench.
"All this for one girl." Homura asked as she saw this.
"Yeah. If I can see her smile just for a second then I know... I'm doing my job right." Shiro said as Homura nodded.
"Anyway this is where we part ways to head home, so see you tomorrow." Shiro said as he waved goodbye to Homura.
"Yeah goodnight." Homura said as she knew Kyuubey probably headed back to Madoka after he escaped the other night and now they were all probably weary of them.
(The Next Day)
Medusa, Phoenix, and Gremlin were walking around as Gremlin was giving a detailed explanation on what he knew about Mahou Shojou's. "See Gates and Mahou Shojou go hand in hand a lot. See Gates are those with magical potential capable of birthing a Phantom but at the same time capable of holding the Phantom in and becoming a Ring Mage. A Mahou Shojou is similar but isn't always a Gate and its normally those who are Gates that hold the greatest potential for a Mahou Shojou or a very powerful Phantom, could even give Suzaku-chan here a run for his money." Sora said as he was intent on calling himself by his human name.
"It's Phoenix." Phoenix said as Medusa chuckled.
"Yes so we already lost one potentially powerful Phantom but we still have three more to try it on." Medusa said as she smiled. "So we'll have to send more Phantoms at them to try and force them down Despair." Medusa said as Sora nodded.
"Yeap and luckily I'm the Phantoms leading expert on Mahou Shojou's." Sora said as he skipped a bit all smiles and such.
"Ok so who's the next little bitch on our hit list?" Phoenix asked as he wanted action.
"For now we should focus on a regular Gate till we can properly confirm what we are dealing with Phoenix, so Gremlin if you could, can you keep an eye on those girls in some way that would be a great help." Medusa said as Sora smiled.
"It's Sora and of course I can." Sora said with a smile on his face before he began skipping, away.
"So I guess you found a Gate?" Phoenix asked as a young man passed them by as he seemed to be a Magic Otaku as Medusa smirked to him as Phoenix got the message. "Oh I get it who's taking him on then?" Phoenix asked as Medusa smiled.
"It's already being handled by Hellhound." Medusa said as she smiled to herself no doubt knowing Hellhound was already on the case for them.
(With Shiro)
Shiro came home as he open the door and said out loud, "I'm home Momo-chan."
"Welcome home Oni-Chan. What with the bag?" Momoko asked after she greeted her brother, as he walked through with the bag in his hands, and the guitar on his shoulder as he took it off and put it against the wall for the moment.
"I bought some at the store, they were having a sell on the meats so I had to grab it," Shiro said as he walk over to the over and kiss his sister head as he asked her, "So did you finish your homework I printed out for you?"
"Got that done within an hour, so I've been watching T.V," Momoko said as Shiro sighed a bit as his sister is watching more stuff about sailor moon, but at least she got her work done before.
Shiro nods and walk over in the kitchen and asked her, "So where's Inoue? He left soon after the witch was destroy."
Momoko thought for a moment and said, "Still looking for that magic ring I think."
Shiro pull out a frozen back of mix Veggies from the freezer as he said, "Right, he spend day and night looking for that ring when a phantom or witch isn't around."
"He does work hard," Momoko said as she went back to watching her anime's.
Shiro turn on the stove top as the flames lit, put a pan over it as he prepares the meat for dinner. It was a daily routine for him with cooking.
Plug the rice cooker and add the correct mix of rice and water, pull some seasoning and shake it over the meat, as well some Sause to help give it taste and let it sit for a moment to marinate and give more time to the pan to heat up more.
Put the veggies in a small bowl with holes on the bottom and stick it in the rice cooker so it can unfreeze and cook with the rice.
After preparing it all he put it together with some eggs mix in, fried the rice with the meat and put in the mix veggies, it wasn't something too fancy but it was a home cook meal.
Puts down three plates as one for him, Momoko, and Inoue, as he knows the cat rabbit thing doesn't have to eat but Momoko wanted him to be part of group.
When it gets late enough Inoue come back around and joins them, as when Shiro started to dish up the food, as he saw Inoue in front of him as he jump a bit and said, "Seriously, can you knock or something?"
"I would, but I don't have hands," Inoue making a joke as Shiro let out a breath through his nose, and just plop food on Inoue plate and properly dish up for Momoko and himself.
Momoko came walking around to the table as she took her seat and Shiro took his seat, as they both sat down and put their hands together as they both said, "Itadakimasu!"
They both grab their chop sticks and dig in, and Inoue just put his face in the food to eat like pet would do for their food and stuff his mouth.
"This is pretty good Oni-chan," Momoko said as she is enjoy dinner so far and Inoue said, "Well this is just… what was it that you human say again, tasty is it?"
Shiro said before he took a bite out of his own food, "Glad you're enjoying it."
This is one of those times people can enjoy with other people that you care about. Family, friends or in Shiro case the weird alien creature that give magical powers to young girl and have them kick ass against evil creatures, but hey its life, and it would be only a matter of time before some happens whether it be good… or bad.
(The next day)
Shiro walking to school in his uniform as he give a yawn then suddenly his cell phone was going off as he stop for a moment, grab it out of his pocket, open it and hit answer as he said, "Moshi-Moshi?"
"Oni-chan you forgot to summon the familiars, I put them on the table for you to grab, baka!" Shiro pull the phone away from his ear and said, "Ish, sorry Momo-chan. I was so tired I forgot. I'll grab them now then."
"You better, you don't know if a phantom or a witch is out right now or not," Momoko said on the phone as Shiro pull out one his Connect ring and said, "Hai, I'm doing it now. Oh don't forget to do your test. I have it sitting on the table for you."
"I got that done before you went out," Momoko said as Shiro sighed to that as she does everything fast with test or homework and said, "Right then, love ya Momoko."
"Love you to, bye," Momoko said as Shiro said, "Bye." Then hang up as he put on the connect ring and scan it on his hand author belt buckle as it called out.
"CONNECT PLEASE!"
Shiro held his hand in front of him as a magic circle appeared and he reach in as he shift his hand around looking for his familiar rings and said, "Here we go."
Pull his hand out of the circle and held the three rings as he started to scan them fast.
"UNICORN PLEASE!"
"KRAKEN PLEASE!"
"GARUDA PLEASE!"
AS three platform came forth and became 3d as they came apart and put together to form the three familiars of wizard as he put their rings in their respectful place as the familiar came to life and hover around him as he said, "You guy know what to do, look around, and report back if you see a phantom or a witch right away."
The familiars give a sound as they hear the command and went off in different location as Shiro wipe his hands and said, "Now that's done. Onwards to school."
But as Shiro walked he soon looked and saw Inoue walking next to him with a ring in his mouth. "Where did you get that?" Shiro asked as Inoue looked.
"Remember that one Witch we took care of, the Witch of Sloth?" Inoue asked as Shiro looked.
"Yeah of course I do that bitch gave me nightmares." Shiro said as she tried to enter his dreams so she could kill him there.
"Well I had a hunch on Ring locations and went to investigate and I found it lying under some old furniture, the place was going to be demolished and rebuilt but the thing is the Ring was there." Inoue said as he jumped over to Shiro and dropped the Ring in his waiting hand to see a Sleeping Dragon on it.
"Well since it was at that Witch's location does it put people to sleep?" Shiro said as he put the ring on.
"I wouldn't suggest using it so soon Shiro remember new Rings tend to be unpredictable in ability without an aid of someone like me." Inoue said as Shiro looked.
"So you tested it out then?" Shiro asked as Inoue simply looked remembering what he did prior.
(Flashback)
"So let me get this straight you want me to help you test out a new Magic Ring?" Homura said as she and Inoue were in a testing room with a Hand Arthur attached to a magical battery as Inoue nodded sitting at the target spot.
"Yes just scan the ring on your right hand on that Hand Arthur to activate it." Inoue said as Homura was skeptical. "I'm using you because you can use your magic to heal yourself if an accident occurs plus I'd rather not have all my hard work be for nothing as well." Inoue said as he was also wearing an armored helmet made in his heads shape.
"Fine but this better not bite me in the ass." Homura said as Inoue looked.
"I don't think it should but like I always say Magic Rings can be unpredictable at times." Inoue said as Homura then scanned the ring.
"SLEEP! PLEASE!" The Hand Author invoked as Homura pointed her right hand with the ring at Inoue as the invocation was followed by a snoring sound before a light went off next to Homura's head as she quickly fell down knocked out asleep as Inoue walked over to her and saw her past out.
"Hmm it puts people the wearer to sleep..." Inoue said as that could be useful in getting past people without hurting them. "Heh serves your right though Homura for trying to kill me when we met." Inoue said as he enjoyed his little taste of payback.
(Flashback end)
"Yeah... it puts the wearer to sleep once active so don't use it while wearing it." Inoue warned as Shiro nodded and took the ring off.
"Thanks for the heads up." Shiro said as he didn't want to pass out on the street.
(Scene Break after the School Day ended)
Shiro look at his watch and said, "If there no witch or phantom, I may have time to play on the busy street, and get back home and reheat the food from last night."
Came walking down the streets as he heard a familiar chirp as he stop in his tracks and look up to see Garuda flying about as it seem there was trouble as Shiro said, "So much for my plans for today."
(Madoka)
Sitting in a waiting area, as Madoka sat there in silent and waited for Sayaka as she was visiting Kyousuke, as laying on her lap was Kyuubey.
She very confused on what is going on with everything with Shiro, Momoko, Mami, Homaru, even Kyuubey himself. She grateful for Shiro and Momoko helping and saving Sayaka but there is such a mystery to them she could not understand.
Mami was worry for Kyuubey when he went missing all of the sudden, and then attacked Shiro and Momoko, but was told it was a warning shot than an attack.
Kyuubey came back yesterday and acted like nothing was wrong, as he didn't say what happen to him ether as all he did say is, 'Talked with an old friend.'
Mami was back to normal after she saw Kyuubey again, but she can help but shake this feeling within her, like a conflict of emotions within her if she wanted to be a magical girl or not, even the thought of her wish, she didn't know if she wanted it or not and if she did what does she want?
Her train of thought came to a stop when the elevator opens and Sayaka step out with a disappointed look on her face as she says, "Hey. Sorry for the wait."
Madoka look to Sayaka and thought it was too soon for, her to come back a she said, "Huh? You couldn't see Kamijou-kun?"
"I guess today wasn't a good day to see him," Sayaka said to Madoka as she asked, "How come?"
"He… wasn't in the best of moods it seems," Sayaka said sadly as she wanted to spend much time with him as she could, maybe even tell him how she feels but she can't even find the words.
Soon enough the trio was walk down the street as Kyuubey said, "I came all the way out here too. Pretty rude, huh?"
None of the two girls said a thing as it seem they have something on their mind and then suddenly Madoka stop as she saw something out of the corner of her eyes as she look to a pillar of a bike parking area.
Sayaka stop as well as she notice Madoka wasn't following to the side of her anymore as she turn to see her friend facing a wall as she asked her, "What's wrong?
"There's something over there..." Madoka said as she pointed at the wall as she saw a dark spot on it as Kyuubey looks and saw what was there and said, "It's a Grief Seed! It's about to hatch!"
The girls got closer to confirm it was a seed and it was pulsing with dark energy as Sayaka said, "No way. Why is there one here?"
"This is bad. We have to get away from here fast. The barrier will go up soon." Kyuubey sounded worry but maybe saw an opportunity here to get one of the girls to agree to a contract depending on how the girls will react to this situation.
Sayaka look down for a moment as she said, "That maze thing again?"
After a moment Sayaka had a thought as if someone were to come to the area, they will most likely to get a kiss from a witch and would get hurt from it or worst… killed as she turn to Madoka and asked, "Madoka, have to asked Mami-san for her cell number?"
Madoka shake her head no as it seem she didn't ask for her number as they were in a pinch as Sayaka said, "Darn, we should've."
Sayaka thought on something as she look to Madoka once again and said, "Madoka, go and get Mami-san. I'll watch over the seed."
"You can't!" Madoka said as Kyuubey said to her, "It's too dangerous!"
The two girl look at Kyuubey as he started to explain the situation as he said, "We still have time until the witch hatches, but once the barrier goes up, you won't be able to leave it. I don't know if Mami will make it here in time..."
"You won't know where the seed is once the maze goes up right?" Sayaka said as an image flash in her mind as she looks over at the seed and said, "I can't let it hatch in a place like this."
Kyuubey saw the chance as he saw Kyuubey magic aura flare for a moment as Kyuubey jump off of Madoka's shoulder and went over onto Sayaka side as he look at Madoka and said, "Madoka, go find her. I'll stay with Sayaka."
Madoka look at Kyuubey in question as he said, "If Mami comes here, and she'll know where I am because of the telepathy. If I watch over the Grief seed with Sayaka, I'll be able to guide Mami so she take the shortest route through the barrier."
Sayaka smile to Kyuubey help as she said, "Arigato Kyuubey."
Kyuubey look at her with its emotion less face not knowing his true motive.
Madoka nodded and said, "I'll... hurry and get Mami-san as fast as I can."
Once Madoka said that she dropped her bag and started running to where Mami would be as she did this Sayaka saw this. Unknown to Madoka across the street was Shiro as he was crossing as Shiro smiled seeing Madoka already leaving as it was clear she still didn't form a contract.
Next to Shiro's head was Garuda as Shiro smiled at him. "Ok Garuda go get Homura." Shiro said just as Kraken arrived. "And Kraken, go let Inoue know what's going on." Shiro said as Kraken understood and in turn both flew off.
"Ok Sayaka!" Shiro called as Sayaka looked as Kyuubey got defensive a bit.
"Senpai." Sayaka greeted somewhat defensively herself as Mami and Madoka told her what happened before.
"How did you find the Grief Egg?" Kyuubey asked as Shiro then looked to the ground as Unicorn ran in.
"It pays to have Familiars." Shiro said as he looked at Unicorn who ran about.
"This doesn't explain why you hunt the Witches also when you don't benefit from their Grief Seeds which you seem to have a surplus on them." Kyuubey said referring to the silver guitar case of them.
"Not like I can profit off of them but it helps me out also since I'll basically be prepared 24/7 for allying with a Mahou Shojou." Shiro said as he walked up with his hands in his pocket. "Sayaka I'll take over here handling Witches is also my job." Shiro said as he looked to said Seed. "Especially since some of them may have Magic Rings." Shiro said more to himself as he scratched his nose.
"Sorry Sempai I can't do that so easily if I do then a lot of people will be getting hurt." Sayaka said as she was on the fence with Shiro since it appears he and psycho Homura were all buddy bud.
"Didn't I save you before Sayaka you literally have no reason to become a Magical Girl since you're no longer a Gate." Shiro fluffed seeing she was still wearing the Engage Ring.
"That's a lie! My potential to become a Ring using Mage is gone not the potential to be a Magical Girl." Sayaka countered as Shiro mentally cursed at his bluffs fail.
"Sayaka listen this wish and power isn't worth dying in battle over just pay attention and you'll understand why!" Shiro countered as he knew from personal experience but soon the Egg glowed as the two were shocked by this. "Damn." Shiro cursed as he quickly looked to Unicorn. "Unicorn stay here to guide the others." Shiro said as Unicorn understood just as the two vanished into the Labyrinth.
(Labyrinth Shiro, Sayaka, and Kyuubey)
The three were now inside the Labyrinth as Shiro cursed himself for this. "Great there goes plan A." Shiro said as he looked around.
"Well we're stuck here then might as well go for my plan A." Sayaka said as she looked to Shiro.
"Let me guess find the Witch so Mami-san can vet a quick route to it through Kyuubey's psychic link right?" Shiro asked as Sayaka was surprised his knew.
"But... how?" She asked as Shiro looked.
"Easy Kyuubey isn't as nice and cute as he looks." Shiro said as Inoue may be a jerk but Kyuubey was the king of lies.
"Come on." Shiro said as he scanned the Connect Ring.
"CONNECT! PLEASE!"
He then pulled out the WizardSwordGun and had it at the ready. "Once we find the Witch the sooner we can beat it." Shiro said as he was ready to fight.
Later as the two walked Shiro held his gun down knowing as long as they were quiet they were good for now. "Are you scared, Sayaka?" Kyuubey asked as he saw an advantage there.
"Yeah of course." Sayaka said as nay dying made her very nervous about this.
"Don't worry I'll protect you." Shiro said as he led the way.
"Well you don't have to Shiro if Sayaka makes a wish I can make her a Mahou Shojou right here and now and wouldn't having help against the Phantoms and Witches be better than going solo?" Kyuubey asked as Shiro looked.
"I know but I already have two partners for this the second of which is a recently new one so for now I think I'll stay a solo act for a while longer." Shiro said as he led the way.
"But... if things get bad." Sayaka began as they arrived at a cage area with a hospital sign saying 'operation in Progress,' as inside was the glowing Grief Seed. "I just might." Sayaka said looking at said Egg with Shiro.
(With Mami and Madoka)
Madoka found Mami just in time it seem as they saw the cracks on a wall as the Grief Seed wasn't there anymore as Mami said, "Here right?"
Madoka made a 'uh huh' sound as Mami quickly raise her hand up to show her Ring as that is her soul gem lays as it glows, the gate appeared and open up a connection inside as she use the telepathy ability of Kyuubey and of her magical girl power to get a clear signal as she spoken to Kyuubey, "Kyuubey, what's going on?"
'We're good for now. There's no sighs that it's going to hatch right away.'
A Kyuubey was about to say something else but Madoka transmitted her thought to the group inside as she said, "Sayaka-chan, are you okay?"
'I'm fine I was about to fall asleep from boredom. Shiro sempai does talk a whole lot when he not watering it seems.'
"Shiro sempai is there with you?" Madoka said as she is surprise by that, and Mami had an upset look on her face as she quickly asked Kyuubey, "Kyuubey, has he tried to hurt you?"
'No he hasn't. He's more focus on finding the witch, but I do wish for you to come as fast as you can. It'd be worse to stimulate the egg by using a lot of magic next to it, and I would not know what he might do, but also proceed as calmly as possible as well.'
"I understand," Mami said as she stop connecting to the telepathy and walk in with Madoka walking in beside her as well, as the two went in, the gate vanish behind and now they are inside the Labyrinth.
"I'm glad we made it in time," Madoka said as she was being pull along by Mami as the magical girl held her hand as she said to her, "I'd like to get mad at you guys for taking too many risks, but this was the best choice this time... and I would like it focus my attention on that ring user trickster."
Mami saying that last part to herself, so Madoka didn't hear her fully as pink hair girl look to her magical friend as she said, "Hu?"
Mami look at her with a smile and said, "I said we should focus on the task at hand. Also we don't have to worry about the witch getting-
Mami stop talking as she saw someone behind them as she saw Homaru walk up and with Shiro's familiars, and a familiar looking creature on Homura shoulder as Madoka look at the creature and said, "Kyuubey?"
But once Homaru walk closer to the two and to Mami shock as well Madoka, they saw the cat rabbit creature on Homaru shoulder not Kyuubey but Inoue as he said, "I am sorry, I am not Kyuubey. The name Inoue, it's nice to meet you and you as well Madoka mostly. I hear a lot about you from Shiro."
"S-sempai talks about me?" Madoka blush a bit to that as she didn't know Shiro did talk about her as Inoue gave a smile and close its eyes as he said, "Yes, as he said during his part time job you are one of the most friendlies customers he has, even tipping him when he said not too."
Madoka push her two index fingers together and said, "Well he was so nice to me, Sayaka-chan, and Hitomi-chan, even works very hard. I thought I would do something nice for him as well."
"I understand, and I'll be sure to let him know you think he's a good hard worker," Inoue said as Madoka just smile but still blushing a bit as she started to like Inoue with his personality and seem very friendly as well.
Mami on the other hand is quite confused as she thought Kyuubey was the only one like him but to see a black version like him her thoughts were, 'So he must be the one who contracted with Momoko and Homaru then, but why is he not working with Kyuubey? Are they fighting against a command enemy?'
Homaru spoken up next as she wanted to get things done and fast as possible as she said, "Move along and stay away, as me and Shiro will take down the prey this time."
"Look we aren't going anywhere Kyuubey and Sayaka are inside waiting for us." Mami said as Homura glared.
"It's the same for us with Shiro and since Sayaka and Kyuubey are with them we'll make sure they get out safely." Homura said as Mami looked and smiled elegantly.
"You honestly think I trust you?" Mami asked as Inoue saw the ring and saw what Mami was about to do.
"Homura move now!" Inoue called to Homura saw the flash and quickly moved out of the way surprising Mami. "It seems it pays to have a contractor who will actually help when needed." Inoue said as he looked to Mami and Madoka. "I suggest you two leave Homura tells me this Witch is far different then what you normally deal with so if you wish to live run." Inoue said as he looked at Madoka and Homura.
"Well I'm sorry then but you picked the wrong people to contract with." Mami said as Inoue tilted his head just as he saw the ring glow and to his and Homura's shock ribbing with gold chain designs appeared and wrapped around Homura and Inoue. "I don't want to fight you two so don't struggle those holds will only get tighter if you do." Mami said as Homura looked to Unicorn, Garuda, and Kraken and nodded as the three familiars broke apart and reformed into a drill like being.
'Homura let them leave for now this may be our chance luckily they didn't notice the Familiars had hidden so that means they can break us out once I give the signal, but I do have an idea how to prevent Kyuubey from getting Madoka without killing her.' Inoue said as Homura was shocked. 'Before you blow a top I am merely saying it is a possible suggestion one I would prefer to save with the termination and making her a Mage.' Inoue said using his psychic link as being as he was once an Incubator he still had the logical advantage but with his previous contract and betrayal he now has morals and a bit of imagination to use that logic.
(With Mami and Madoka)
The Witch's Familiars known as Pyotr looked at one another before they moved on to a different area. Once gone, the duo stepped out of their hiding place and double checked to make sure that the coast was clear. Mami motioned Madoka to move before they ran up to a door and opened it, entering through it before continuing on as the door closed behind them. The hall was dark as the only thing lighting the way were glowing bottles of medicine.
"Um…Mami?" Madoka spoke up.
"What is it?" Mami said as they continued walking.
"I've been doing a lot of thinking about what wish is right for me." Madoka said as the boy's listened in. "You may get angry since this may sound naive and…"
"It's okay. Tell me." Mami said. "What wish do you want granted?"
"Well…I've never had a subject I was especially good at or have any talents to be proud of. And to tell you the truth, I've hated myself for spending every day without being of help to anybody and just causing problems." Madoka said. As the duo entered through a different door walked down a different path. "But when I met you and watched how you fought so hard to save people, I thought I might be able to do the same thing and that thought made me happier than anything else. So if I were to become a Magical Girl that would be my wish come true. If I can help people, then my biggest dream is living a life that would make me proud of myself."
"…I'm not someone anyone should try to emulate." Mami said. "It's hard, you know? You get hurt and you don't have time to fall in love or hang out with friends." Mami said as she walked ahead of them all.
"I know but after seeing you, Momo-chan, and Shiro-sempai how you all keep doing your best I really look up to you, Mami." Madoka said as she smiled to Mami unaware they were being followed by the Plamonsters with Homura and Inoue not too far behind but Madoka's words caused Mami to stop as it looked like Madoka may have struck an unintentional nerve.
"I don't deserve it you need a better role model." Mami said as she looked to the ground. "To tell you the truth, I just pretend to be cool when I'm fighting or hurt…scares me like nothing else. But when I'm alone, I cry because I don't have anybody I can talk to about all this. I'm just a, nobody who know the truth that being a Mahou Shojou isn't as fun as the anime's make it out to be." Mami confessed as she looked to the ground as Madoka smiled.
"I hear you Mami but you're not alone anymore." Madoka said as Mami soon began to cry a bit as she realized Madoka was right.
"Your Right I'm not alone." Mami said as she then took Madoka's hands as she had tears in her eyes. "I found someone who's willing to stand and fight by my side from now on. Will you really stay with me?" Mami asked as she looked to Madoka.
"Yes if someone like me will do." Madoka said with a smile on her face.
'Let's go Homura we can pass them while they talk.' Inoue said as Homura nodded the psychic command.
"…Ah…" Suddenly, tears formed around Mami's eyes as she reached to wipe them away. "Haha…Here I should be acting like a proper Senpai, but I just can't pull it off…" Mami said feeling embarrassed.
"Anyway make sure you know what you want a chance like this doesn't come around too often." Homura said as Madoka blushed.
"Yeah I know it's a once in a life time thing." Madoka confessed as she looked to Mami.
"It's a contract so you might as well get something out of it." Mami said. "Make yourself a billionaire or maybe…get yourself a boyfriend?"
"B-Boyfriend!?" Madoka stuttered in surprise as she blushed red. "T-That's a little…" Madoka said as she may have a crush on Shiro but she knew Shiro doesn't feel the same way about her since he was pinning for a girl in his age group.
"How about this? If you haven't thought of a wish by the time we've taken out this Witch, how about you get Kyuubey to treat us to a big dinner and cake?"
"A-A cake?"
"Yes. The largest, most extravagant party cake you've ever seen! We'll have a party with everyone." Mami said with a smile on her face. "It'll be to celebrate Kaname Madoka and me joining as a Magical Girl Team." Mami said.
"I'm going to become a Magical Girl for cake?" Madoka said, also thinking the idea was a bit absurd.
"If you don't like it, then you better think up of something." Mami said as Madoka sighed as Inoue and Homura had begun to run on ahead.
'Mami! There's trouble! The Grief Seed has begun to move! It's going to hatch soon! Hurry!' Kyuubey called telepathically as this was bad.
(With Shiro, Kyuubey, and Sayaka)
"Damn." Shiro said as he pointed his gun at the target before him ready for it to hatch.
(With Homura and Inoue)
"The Witch his hatching Homura hurry!" Inoue called as Homura transformed while running torts the Witch's location.
"I understand." Homura said as right now Inoue and Shiro were her best bets at undoing events to come, to change fate and history the Incubators and the Law of Cycles had begun.
"Okay. Got it." Mami said, a look of determination in her eyes. "That means there's no more need to sneak around. We'll end this quick today."
A bright flash of light enveloped before it died down to reveal Mami in her Magical Girl outfit. At the same time, the Familiars of the barrier sensed her and attacked. Mami wasn't scared. After all…she wasn't alone anymore.
'I feel…light.' Mami said as she summoned her guns and seemingly began to dance around, shooting every Familiar to appear in her sight. She swung around with her ribbons, sniping Familiars from close up and afar while the others watched in awe from a good distance away. 'This is the first time I've been this happy while fighting. 'I'm not scared anymore.' Mami thought as she stood tall and proud, thinking back to that day and what Madoka had said to her. 'I'm no longer alone anymore!'
"Let's go! We still have a Witch to take care of." Mami said as Madoka nodded and followed her.
(With Shiro, Sayaka, and Kyuubey)
"Took you guys long enough." Shiro said as Homura and Inoue showed up just in time. Shiro was ready to henshin as the Witch was just about to form which was never a good sign.
Kyuubey and Inoue saw each other as Sayaka saw the two and bawked at seeing two Kyuubey's just different colors in one place as the two didn't say anything. "Heads up this Witch isn't normal like the others." Inoue said as he then looked to Shiro. "Shiro I also did some investigating and research and remember when you said this place was like an underworld?" Inoue said as Shiro nodded.
"Yeah." He said as Inoue looked.
"Well that's because it's basically a Witch's equivalent to an Underworld which means your normal Underworld restricted Rings aren't only restricted to Underworlds." Inoue said as Shiro then smirked.
"Ah hell yeah." Shiro said as he can now fight big with big.
"What is taking Mami and the others so long?" Sayaka said.
Just as soon as she said that, Mami and Madoka soon appeared. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"You made it." Sayaka said, relieved. With Mami here, then everything was alright now.
"How did you get out?" Mami asked Homura who glared.
"Let's just say I had the help of small Familiars." Homura said as Mami glared.
"Now's not the time." Inoue said as Kyuubey then continued.
"Yeah we need to be careful." Kyuubey said as everyone turned and looked. "It's hatching."
As soon as Kyuubey finished that did a high, and I mean, HIGH chair and tables appear. On one the chairs was a Familiar while the other one was soon occupied by a new born Witch, Charlotte, the witch of sweets with a tenacious nature. She desires everything. She will never give up. Though she is capable of creating infinite amounts of any dessert she desires, she is unable to make the cheese that she loves most. One could easily catch her off-guard with a piece of cheese although no one really knew that.
"It looks harmless enough." Shiro said as he looked to said Witch.
"Don't let its looks fool you Shiro looks will easily deceive you." Inoue said as he knew this Witch had hidden traits.
"Stay out of this Shiro." Mami said stopping Shiro from pulling out his Driver On Ring.
Before Shiro could say anything Mami was already on it with her in her magical girl form she easily got to it first as she knock the witch down from its high chair as Mami said, "Sorry for attacking you right after you hatch, but I'm ending this now."
As the witch came down Mami used one of her rifles as a bat, and hit the witch away at a wall as Mami use that same rifle and pull out another and fired upon the witch, as she said, "Here I go!"
A rapid fire came as a few of the shots hit it, and then Mami was upon it when it fell down on the ground, she put the gun to its head and fire it.
Mami throw the gun away a magical string lifted the witch up in the air as Sayaka cheer as she said, "She did it!"
Shiro looked at the witch as he said, "That was too easy to deal with a witch. Stand by Homaru."
"DRIVER ON! PLEASE!"
Shiro got his driver out and ready to go as Homaru stood ready herself as she said, "Ryōkai."
Mami look up at the witch as it was being hosted up and she got a clear shot as she was going for her finisher as she held a rifle in her arms, as it glow with her power, the weapon grow into her giant pistol weapon as she said, "Trio Finale!"
Mami took the shot and fired at the witch as the center of it was pierces, but suddenly a riddle wrap around it and from its mouth a clown like face came out of it as Mami is taken surprise by this as the now the witch was showing its true form, and Mami just used her ace.
A things happening so fast, Shiro quickly flip the switch on his belt and scan a spell ring he had ready just in case.
"EXTEND PLEASE!"
As the witch came closer and closer to Mami as it open its mouth showing its sharp teeth as it looks like he wants to eat something, as Madoka watch in horror as what's about to happen.
As the witch about to bite down on Mami's head, a hand that was stretch out like crazy grab Mami by the back of her shirt and pull her back as the witch chomp down on air.
Mami was reel in with the group as Shiro held onto his stretch out arm as he never done it without his armor before as he said, "Homaru cover fire!"
Homaru acted fast as she fired upon the witch with a Rocket launcher weapon with four she formed with her magic and fired upon the witch.
The shot exploded in the witches face and help give more time for Shiro to get Mami to safety as he pull over behind the donut where they were at.
Madoka and Sayaka were glad as Shiro just saved Mami's life as Mami look up at Shiro as he pull his arm out of the magic circle and took a small breath as he look at her and said, "Are you crazy or have a death wish? Going in there half-cocked without knowing what the witch could do was suicide. You nearly got yourself killed!"
Mami was speechless at what just happen, the person that she thought wasn't on her side just saved her as Madoka and Sayaka looked at Shiro as they were worry of what he may do, as they thought he might hit Mami, but instead as he sighed and said, "Think of the others before you do anything, or else your just make them lose their hopes. If you're gone and I wasn't here what chances could they have, even if they did become magical girls themselves?"
Mami thought for a moment as all this time she been afraid as she was alone before, and then she knows now she not, she went in there without thinking of her own safety as she knows starting out as a magical girl was no easy task as she always plays it safe when she starts fighting.
Homaru keep suppressing fire on the witch until she ran out of shot as she said, "Sempai!"
Shiro turn to the witch and said, "I know." He walk out there as he flip the switch on his belt as the jingle play.
"SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN! SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN! SHABADOBI TOUCH HENSHIN!"
"Henshin!"
Shiro flip the visor down on his ring and scan it, then move his hand to the side as a magic circle appeared as it moved through him as he become Wizard.
"FLAME PLEASE! HI! HI! HI-HI-HI!"
The smoke clear around the witches face as it sees his new enemy before him, shining in ruby color armor as it show a grin with its sharp teeth showing as wizard said, "Sa Showtime da!"
The witch charged at Wizard as he switch spell rings and flip the switch on his driver and scan the ring as it called out.
"CONNECT PLEASE!"
Wizard jump back as the witch was upon him, but before he stick his hand into the magic circle and pull out his trademark weapon the WizarSwordGun in gun mode and fired upon the witch to make it back off as it cry in pain due to the silver bullets hitting it.
"Homaru, back me up," Wizard said as the dark hair magical girl jump to a table platform and had two sub-machine guns in her hand and fired upon the witch.
The witch still trying to eat wizard but with Homaru rain of fire upon it and Shiro running, dodging, and shooting, it witch was slowing down and it didn't even know it.
Homaru found herself empty before she throws the guns away before bringing forth a Grenade launcher and fire a few explosive rounds.
The witch is getting tired of her and went at her fast as it open its mouth and took a bite out of the whole table and everything on it, as Madoka and Sayaka thought she got eaten too, she appeared on another table without a scratch on her as the witch saw this and keep going at her.
Meanwhile Wizard saw he was in the clear as he change style ring, something with some speed and movability as he pull out his Emerald ring and switch out of flame ring, as he flip the driver two twice and scan it as it called out wizard next form.
"HURRICAN PLEASE! FU! FU! FU-FU! FU-FU!"
Wizard pointed up as a magic circle appeared as Wizard jump into it, as he change into his Hurricane style as it called out, and soon he was flying and fast as he made his weapon go into sword mode and flew around the witch and slash at it.
The witch keep trying to eat Homaru as he went for a dive at Homaru thinking she won't able to dodge away if he surrounds her escape route as there was no other tables around for her to jump too if she did, and took a huge bite, as it lick its teeth, wizard come up and slash across its face with a wind enhance behind it with the sliver blade hurting it two fold, and then it mouth soon exploded with black smoke coming out from it.
All of the sudden things around the room started to draw at the witch and they started to explode upon impacted, but it seem the witch is still standing, with two opponents it toughen its body enough to with stand their attacks.
(Madoka)
"Sugoi, Sempai hasn't even been touch, and Homaru is all over the place," Sayaka said as
As all the explosion happen, the witch keep going but hasn't touch the two with Madoka look at this as how Shiro and Homaru work together like they does this for a long time even though it's been a few days as she said, "Shiro-Sempai is very strong."
"That he is," Inoue committed as Madoka look to the black incubator as he just watch the fight goes on as he said, "Buts his strength does lay in hard work or skill, but in his heart instead to what he's fighting for."
Mami look to the black incubator as she asked, "What is he fighting for to make be like this… isn't he afraid?"
Inoue look to her and said, "Afraid… maybe, but he mostly complains a lot after each fight as he use much of his mana and make him tired, but he knows of this and always keep pushing forward, getting himself better and stronger making no mistake in what he does because he always fight for that one reason that keep him going."
"And what's that?" Sayaka asked as Inoue look to her and said, "Hope that is what he's fighting for. To keep hope alive when everything falls, he will be the last hope."
Madoka look back to the fight and said to herself, "Fighting for… hope."
(Wizard and Homaru)
The two landed together as the witch was still standing but very weak it seem as he said, "I think it's time I finish this. You don't mind right?"
"All yours," Homaru said as Wizard nod his head as he went back to his flame ring and quickly scan it as it called out.
"FLAME PLEASE! HI! HI! HI-HI-HI!"
Now in flame form he gotten out a ring as he flip to the spell casting side as it jingle.
"LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO! LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO!"
Wizard scan the ring as now he going to bring out the big guns as he raise his arms up in the air and call out, "Come forth dragon!"
"DRAGONRISE PLEASE!"
The witch came at them once more, using every bit of strength it has left just to eat the two, but from a huge magic circle from above as Shiro phantom came forth and breath fire upon the witch as it cause it lot of pain.
Dragon roar out catching everyone's attention as they saw it as Madoka seem a afraid, and Mami sense the magic from that dragon and could not believe how much power it has within it.
Kyuubey look at that and said, "That's the Dragon? The Mahōtsukai inner phantom?"
"Yes it is, when a Gate is able to keep his Phantom contained by holding onto hope he gains the right to become a Mage." Inoue said as Madoka looked.
"But I always assumed it had to stay inside him." Madoka said knowing that if Dragon was the source of Shiro's power then removing it should make Shiro powerless.
"Not exactly Madoka. See Dragon is able to come out when certain requirements are met one of those requirements is to be inside a Gate's Underworld using this the Dragon Rise Ring is able to summon forth Dragon without removing the source of the magic." Inoue said as Mami looked.
"But this is a Labyrinth not a Gates Underworld." Mami said as Inoue looked.
"Your exactly right Mami but the requirements were met because believe it or not a Labyrinth is very much like an Underworld to the point the Ring can work in both area." Inoue said as Dragon began to go wild once more as it bashed around the Labyrinth causing damage as cake parts began to fall around them. "Oh dear." Inoue said as he saw Shiro still didn't have control of Dragon.
"Look out!" Shiro called out pushing Homura down as Dragon flew over them as Shiro sighed. "Are we really going to do this every time you scaly jerk?!" Shiro yelled as he switched rings to his Connect Ring and flipped his Hand Author twice.
"LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO! LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO!"
Wizard scan the ring as now he going to need his friend on wheels to handle Dragon.
"CONNECT! PLEASE!"
Shiro then reached into the Magic Circle and brought up the Machine Wizard. "Homura keep the Witch busy I need to give leather head his anger meds!" Shiro called as he got on the bike and drove off after Dragon.
Homura nodded and used her shield like item and summoned many guns to utilize as they were all either auto guns, mini-guns, or RPG's which she then grabbed tow and fired at the Witch to keep it busy. Once she did that the Witch's attention was on her now as Wizard went to chase down Dragon.
(With Wizard)
Wizard drove down that path as he was catching up to Dragon from above as Wizard rolled his eyes under the helmet. "Ok same verse as before." Wizard said as he then drove off the ledge and once more the Machine Wizard became a pair of wings which attached to Dragon as the Phantom struggled a bit to get free. "Submit to me Dragon!" Shiro commanded as soon like a bucking bull Dragon submitted for now as Shiro then guided his awesome bad ass metal steed back to the Witch's location no doubt to keep it from causing any more damage.
(With Homura vs the Witch)
"Shiro should be here soon." Inoue said as he then looked to Madoka and Sayaka. "But if I may if you do wish to become Mahou Shojou and make a contract then make the contract with me I am more than willing to tell you all the risks involved even the ones where you possibly fail." Inoue said as logically speaking he was the lesser of two evils compared to Kyuubey.
"I was here first Inoue." Kyuubey said as Inoue looked.
"But you can't force them to make a wish either was your actually intention to have Mami die and once Sayaka makes a contract for her to die as well so you can make a contract with Madoka." Inoue said knowing how Incubators work.
"What is he talking about Kyuubey?" Mami asked as she heard everything as Kyuubey looked.
"I suppose later would suffice as oppose to now." Inoue said as Homura was fighting against the Witch. Soon a fire ball hit the Witch hurting it as everyone looked and saw Wizard flying in on Dragon as Shiro had the Wizard Sword Gun active as he fired at the Witch while Dragon fired its magical fireballs at the foe. "Good he caught up." Inoue said as he observed. 'Now to see if my theory of Witches being a source of Magic Rings is correct.' Inoue said as he watched the Witch carefully.
The dragon flew by the witch knock it down hard as Wizard turn dragon around and said, "Now then, The Finale."
Wizard switch spell rings once more and flip the switch on the driver and scan the ring he had as it called out.
"VERY NICE~! KICK STRIKE~! FABULOUS~!"
Wizard jump off in the air for the moment as his rider machine follow after and then dragon started to form into a giant dragon claw as the machine change back into its motorcycle form as the front wheel attach itself to the dragon claw, with Wizard coming back down and put his foot against the part that is his ride.
Wizard sounded as a blade of fire appeared on the dragon claw like it was a meteor and then a huge image of wizard make of fire appeared as it seem the wizard was doing a kick with the dragon claw as its foot.
Before the witch could recover, it saw the blazing attack, as its eyes widen and it could not move anywhere as when the claw came down, a huge fiery explosion happen with a huge magic circle appeared above it.
Madoka, Sayaka, and Mami eyes widen to the site, with Homaru would not help but be surprise by this as well and wonder if there was more to be a ring user than a magical girl?
Jumping out from the fire and flames was wizard and in his hand was the Grief Seed and said, "And that's the show."
Soon enough as the Labyrinth started to wrap and vanish, it slowly started to change back to the area where they all enter the labyrinth at by the bike parking area where the crack on the wall where the Grief Seed was at has vanish and all the girls are back in reality, with wizard un-henshin and back in his civilian form, the magical girls turn back to their civilian form as well as Shiro toss the Seed up in the air a bit before catching and said, "Quite a bit of a pain getting you, but I guess it's worth the trouble."
Shiro look to Mami as he asked her, "Hey you still have the seed I've already gave you right?"
Mami look at him and nodded as Shiro held up the seed and said, "Then don't mind if I take this then, unless you need to use it really quick Homaru?"
"I am fine, you destroy the witch, you keep it," Homaru said in an emotion-less tone as Shiro shrugs as he walk over to his guitar case, open it up and throw it in there with the rest and close it.
"Now that is all over, let talk about the contract," Inoue started to say as Kyuubey was about to say something until Shiro's three familiars surround him making him keep in place and keep his mouth shut under Inoue's command.
"My contracts tend to be of mutual gain you get something out of it and I get something out of it. Basically a Wish for a Wish." Inoue said as he looked to Madoka and Sayaka. "Furthermore I don't hide anything from you all and even if you don't ask the question I will tell it to you, just don't freak out when you get the answer and don't like it." Inoue said as Mami looked.
"Hide anything?" Mami asked as Inoue looked.
"Yes Kyuubey hasn't told you everything like for example why do you need to use the Grief Seeds to cleanse your Soul Gem?" Inoue asked as Mami looked.
"I always assumed it's to recharge our magic in a way." Mami said as Inoue looked.
"A common thought I assure you and in most cases it's correct but its more than that, as the Soul Gem grows duller and darker so does what it houses it's called a Soul Gem for a reason." Inoue said as he looked to see Kyuubey was in a sort of freak out state. "Basically if you don't keep your Soul Gem cleansed then eventually you will turn into the very beings you seek to combat." Inoue said as Mami, Madoka, and Sayaka were wide eyed to that.
"Wait those Witches were actually Magical Girls whose Soul Gem turned black?!" Sayaka called as Inoue nodded.
"Yes the Soul Gem houses ones soul and if it's not kept clean the soul slowly becomes a Witch with every act you do from using magic, transforming, and even just plain out moving hence why Shiro have Mami here several Grief Seeds he had collected so she may be able to live a long and healthy life without worry of becoming a Witch." Inoue explained as Mami was shocked by this. "But it does not exactly mean you can't be a Magical Girl it just means you need to be careful and have a good supplier for Grief Seeds which Shiro-kun here is." Inoue explained as he detailed the pros and cons of being a Mahou Shojou.
"Becoming a Magical Girl is a personal choice and one that should not be made lightly so I will give you as much time as you need to decide Sayaka and Madoka but if you do decide please consider me to make the contract." Inoue said as once he was done he turned to Shiro. "Let's go Shiro-kun after all patrolling for Phantoms is also part of our job." Inoue said as Shiro nodded and got back on his Ride machine.
"Ja ne!" Shiro called before he put on his helmet and drove off.
(Meanwhile in the Park area)
Hitomi was walking through the park as she had the day to herself which meant she can do as she pleases for now. As Hitomi walked, she then passed by the restrooms and looked side to side as she held a duffle bag making sure no one was looking as she then smiled and entered the ladies rest room. Once she was inside she entered a bathroom stall and began to change clothing as quickly as possible as to not arouse suspicion.
Later once she was done Hitomi was outside the restrooms with her hair no in a sort of tail and her clothing looking more like an average Japanese Teenager with the different colors on her jacket as she even had a hoodies with a Samurai like design on it as her pants seem to have magic like charms on it as Hitomi smiled to herself. "And they still never realize what I do." Hitomi smiled at her genius as to never getting caught with what her family may consider her dirty little secret. As Hitomi walked she was going to enjoy a bit of normal for a while or her version of it as she walked through the park and saw kids run by playing around as she smiled at them as they ran around being normal kids.
Soon enough with the rough playing kid normally do, one kid push another down hard onto the sidewalk and hurt his elbow as a small spec of blood is shown as he raise it up and said, "ow!"
The other kids came to his aid as one asked, "You okay?"
"Hey dude, are you alright?" a 2nd kid asked as he try to help his friend, Hitomi took a chance as she walk over to the boy that hurt himself and pull out a toy magic wand.
She quickly came to the boy side as she put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Are you alright? Can you stand?"
She help the boy up and look at the cut on the elbow and said, "It's okay. It's nothing too serious."
AS the boy look at it and rub it a bit as he said, "Alrig- ow!"
Hitomi thought for a moment that could cheer up the boy a bit as she held her toy wand and said, "It's going to be alright. I'm a magical girl and I can cast a spell to make the pain go away!"
The boy looked at her like she is nuts as she raise her wand up and, "Alakazam make. The. Pain. Go away!"
Hitomi pointed upwards with her wands, and then the boys around sweat drop to the Hitomi's weirdness as one of the boys said, "Did she just say Alakazam?"
"Ain't you too old to believe in magic?" another boy asked Hitomi soon enough they started to leave, and the boy that fell down and said, "Wait for me you guys."
Hitomi was left by herself as she had a sulking look on her face as she just said, "I just wanted to make people smile. Where is everyone sense of wonders?"
Hitomi started to leave, but then when the boys were started to play again, one of the boy knock into someone… or more like something.
The boy look down at the same boy that got knock down the first time, Hitomi saw it and walk over as she asked, "Is everything okay?"
Suddenly the thing the boy walk into and got knock down by, was a phantom as he took a huge step to the group and gotten everyone's attention and that made all the boys and Hitomi to get out of there running with people around did as well and scream to the site of the phantom.
Suddenly while flying by as Garuda came around as it hear the scream of people and check it out and saw the phantom there as it seem there was trouble, the red familiar flew out and try to find Shiro to help.
Hitomi, the boy, and lot of other people came running around a corner and then suddenly the boy that fell twice, fell a 3rd time. (Seriously how many times can a person fall down in a day?)
Hitomi stop as she hear the pain sound of the boy from before as she turns around and saw he fell down again and behind the boy was the phantom as it seem he was going after him, she quickly rush to his side and help him up as she said, "Watch out!"
Hellhound came closer and closer as he said, "Give in to Despair."
Hitomi looked at the phantom mas she put the boy behind her as she said, "I won't let you hurt him!"
The phantom was upon them as he raise his hand and about to hurt the two, suddenly the sound of a motorcycle is heard as the phantom look up and saw the front wheel of a the machinewizard as it smack the phantom to the side away from the small boy and Hitomi.
When Hitomi saw this she look to the boy and said, "Quickly run away!"
The boy nod as he got up and run away as Hitomi got up and hit behind a mailbox as she wonder who was it that just save them as she look up from her spot and see the person on the bike with the helmet on his head as he look down at the phantom as he said, "You phantoms are just as much of a pain in my ass as witches are, I didn't even get to set up on the busy street for a quick performance."
The person took off his helmet to show it was Shiro as Hitomi said, "Shiro-sempai?"
"You're the Yubiwa NO Mahoutsukai!" The Phantom accused as it glared at Shiro as Hitomi saw this.
"Wait Shiro-sempai is a Mahoutsukai?" Hitomi asked as she was surprised by this fact as Shiro put the Driver On Ring on his right Middle Finger before scanning it.
"DRIVER ON! PLEASE!"
Shiro then flipped it causing the Song to start once more for his Henshin.
"SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN! SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN! SHABADOBI TOUCH HENSHIN!"
"Henshin." Shiro invoked before flipping the goggles onto the ring before he scanned the Magic Ring.
"FLAME PLEASE! HI! HI! HI-HI-HI!"
From Shiro's now outstretched left arm was the Flame Style Magic Circle as it began to pass through his body before he was once more endowed by the Wizard Flame Style suit as he was now ready as Hitomi saw this and was shocked by it. "Sa Showtime da." Wizard said as he had his ruby ring bearing hand closer to his helmet as he glared at the Phantom.
The Phantom growled before charging at Shiro with a large sword and swung at Shiro who dodged the attack. Hitomi saw the fight was close to the mailbox which she then ran away as Shiro grabbed the Phantom and threw it to the side as the Phantom rolled on the ground before getting back up and began to try and hit Shiro with its sword by Shiro dodged the attack. The Phantom then sent a stab at Wizard who then jumped over the attack and spun while doing so before getting some distance between them.
Wizard then switched to a different ring as he put it on his right middle finger and flipped the Hand Arthur.
"CONNECT! PLEASE!"
And with that Wizard pulled out his weapon from the magic circle and began firing at the Phantom. As he fired the Phantom tried its best to block the magic silver bullets. But the Phantom's weapon was soon knocked out of defense and was now getting the full force of the Silver Bullets. When the Phantom was on its knees it reached for its face area where a large mouth was and in turn fired magic blasts as Wizard jumped away avoiding the attack.
"Down boy!" Wizard called as he avoided the attack as he saw the Phantom was like a burning dog. "Maybe I should give the Hellhound here some training." Wizard said as he landed on the building top. Hellhound glared at Wizard and saw that as he got up his left hand now had an emerald green Style Ring which meant he was about to switch Elements.
"HURRICANE! PLEASE! FU! FU! FU-FU! FU-FU!"
And with that Wizard entered his Hurricane style as he jumped down and fell through the magic circle using the wind to keep himself airborne while transforming is weapon into its sword form all the while Hitomi from a pillar saw the whole thing. Wizard then charged at Hellhound and began slashing at him as his weapon was releasing winds with each slash as the quick and fast attacks were starting to get to Hellhound. Wizard used his winds to lift Hellhound into the air and slashed at him from whole different angles. Once Hellhound hit the ground he struggled to his feet as Wizard landed not too far away.
Hellhound roared out and charged at Wizard who then slashed at his waist before Hellhound turned to cut him down but Wizard used his winds to avoid the attack and fly upward and once he came down he did two more strong slashes knocking Hell Hound away. Wizard then pulled out another Spell Ring before he put it on and flipped his Hand Author and scanned the ring.
"BIG! PLEASE!"
Hellhound was shocked as Wizard stuck his arm through a magic circle and in the circle his arm became huge as Wizard smirked. "Round you go!" Wizard called as he swung the arm around and three Hellhound into a building crashing into it.
Hitomi saw this and smiled as she couldn't believe it. "Sugoi Sempai can use real magic." Hitomi said happy to see Magic truly was real.
Hellhound charged out of some rubble and glared at the Wizard before he released a fire breath causing Wizard causing him to block and rolled away from the fury of those flames. Once Wizard was safe he looked around and saw the Phantom was gone. Wizard ran over to where he last saw the Phantom and saw it truly was gone. "Huh?" Wizard asked as he looked around for the missing Phantom.
"He got away." Shiro said while reverting to his civilian form as he looked around. "One of those kids must have been the Gate. I'd better find them." Shiro said as he took off his magic ring just as Inoue showed up. "I saw where they went Shiro if you want to follow them but I don't detect the Phantom in the area either." Inoue said as Shiro looked to his partner and nodded.
As Shiro was about to go out and head out and catch up to one of the kids to see if a phantom would be following them, then suddenly a voice call out saying, "AH Sempai!"
'Sempai?' Shiro thought as only a few people calls him that as he turn around and then to his surprise to see Hitomi coming up to him and held his hands but what more surprising is what she wearing and said, "H-Hitomi?"
"Shiro Sempai, I have a request for you," Hitomi said as Shiro said, "Hu?"
Hitomi lean in closer and said, "Please let be your apprentice."
"Hu, Apprentice?!" Shiro said as he was shock to hear Hitomi asked that as she said, "Yes, I wish to learn magic to be a magical girl."
Shiro started to panic as he call out to Inoue on his telepathy link, 'Inoue, please tell me she not another one acceptable for a contract!'
Lucky Inoue was nearby as he saw the girl and said to Shiro, 'She's not, if she were, she should have seen me. Just get her leave so we can get back to the phantom.'
Shiro calm down a bit after that, as he put on a smile and said, "Ah ha-ha. Look, I don't blame you for wishing you were as awesome as me and wanted to be a magical girl."
Shiro pull her hand off of his and grab hers just to put them at her side and said, "But you can't just learn magic. So have a nice day."
Shiro ran off as Hitomi stood there in an awkwardly, after a moment when Shiro is out of site Hitomi thought to herself, 'I can't just learn magic?'
After a moment of thinking and coming up with something as she had a strong look on her face and said, "I'm not backing down, I will have Shiro-sempai to be my magical sensei!"
As she was about to go after Shiro she saw the streets light turning on as it seem it was getting pretty late and she was running for a bit as she said, "Maybe I should do it tomorrow, that way I can have plenty of time to find Shiro-sempai, and get him to agree to train me. Yes that is what I will do!"
(The next day)
Shiro was walking about on the street with a tired look on his face as he look all around for the phantom but no dice and he have his familiars watch over the kids from yesterday in hope to give Shiro the heads up on the phantom.
As Shiro walk around doing his patrols for any other phantoms if there are some and then later go to the busy streets and do a nice performance and earn a quick buck or two.
As Shiro came in the middle of an open area as he stop and said loudly, "So how long are you going to follow me, Hitomi?"
A girl wearing a white mask and sunglasses freak out as she remove them to show it was Hitomi as she said, "You found me out already sempai? Did you use magic?"
Shiro looked at her and pointed out to her and said, "I've been seeing a stalking like person in the reflection of stores on the way here, and you haven't change your look when I saw you last time."
Hitomi scratch the back of her head and laugh a bit as Shiro asked her, "So I ask again, how long are you going to follow me Hitomi?"
Hitomi stood strong and put her fist up to her chin and said, "As long as it takes for you to understand how I feel!"
People around heard her as they started to say, "Is she confessing to that guy? Isn't he a bit old for a girl her age?" "Must be nice to be young and finding love," An old person said as they watch the scene and the crowd started talking.
"That girl is so brave, but the boy looks too old for her," a girl said to a boyfriend as he said, "I hope he let her down nice and easy."
"He better not break her heart," Someone else says as someone next to them say, "I would think they might make a cute couple dispute their age."
Shiro face palm at this as people started talking thinking Hitomi was confessing to him and they are way off as he walk up to Hitomi and said, "Look you're a nice girl Hitomi, but I. Can't. Do. It, so please stop asking me."
"Not until you agree," Hitomi said as Shiro growl a bit as his eyebrow twitch and right now he wasn't able to shake her as she follow him wherever he went.
At a store by the stairs, "Sensei!"
Around the corner of a building, "Sensei!"
And down a tunnel area as Shiro was running with the guitar on his back and Hitomi on his heel shouting, "SENSEI!"
"Will you stop this?! I'm not going to be your sensei!" Shiro said as he keep running like his life depended on it.
Shiro quickly took a sharp turn and hid behind a set of stairs allowing Hitomi to run pass as she ran by. "Shisou!" She called as Shiro waited quietly for a bit before he ran a different direction to his mobile fortress of solitude the Doughnut Truck as he ran to the serving window and hid.
"Thank you come again." Came the voice of the server as Harry hid behind the truck.
"Shiro, honey! Your timing is perfect." The crossdressing man began as he smiled at Shiro. "Come on, try our new Rainbow Donuts." He began as Shiro quickly shushed him.
"Shh! I'm being followed by a magic obsessed middle school girl. Hide me for a sec." Shiro said as he hid behind a blind spot as he saw Hitomi run by.
"Shisou!" Hitomi yelled as she passed by the area to a different path as Shiro sighed quietly. Shiro peaked out to make sure she was gone as he smiled and walked out.
"Free at last." Shiro said as Inoue showed up as Shiro was too happy in relief to freak out.
"Wow Shiro you can fight Phantoms and Witches but a middle school girl is beyond you." Inoue said as Shiro smiled.
'You're enjoyed that didn't you.' Shiro quipped with the telepathic link as he went to the counter.
"In a way as you humans described this ordeal made my heart rate increase and show physical signs of joy... so I was amused by all of this." Inoue said as basically he was laughing his ass off in some way.
"Look! The Rainbow Donuts! Try one!" He called as Shiro drowned them out for a second glad he was in the clear.
"Gimme a plain sugar." Shiro said as the two owners looked depressed at that.
"Again? Sweetie, you gotta try something new sometime!" The Owner said as he served the Plain Sugar Donut as Shiro smiled before turning to the side only to see a smiling Hitomi making him go wide eyed.
"Eh?" Shiro managed to get out as Inoue looked.
"Oh look the feeling is back." Inoue said just as Hitomi grabbed Shiro into a bear hug as the amusement for Inoue continued.
"I caught you, Shisou! No make me your Apprentice!" Hitomi called out as Shiro struggled to get Hitomi off and got her off. "I can take the training!" Hitomi called as once Shiro got out of her grip she went for his leg.
"Let me go!" Shiro called as Hitomi wouldn't budge.
"Please! Just hear me out!" Hitomi called out as Shiro saw his leg was trapped.
"What's wrong with you Hitomi?!" Shiro called as he tried to get free.
"I'm not letting go!" Hitomi called as Shiro saw there was now only one way to get Hitomi off his ass.
"Wakata! I'll listen! Okay?!" Shiro yelled as when he said that it caused the scene to stop as Shiro leg was now free.
"This was as you humans say, hilarious." Inoue said as he jumped to Hitomi's head and then to a table and waited.
(Meanwhile at the Sekai Residence)
Momoko was in the living room in her room as lucky she had timed her brothers daily schedule and knew when he would be back. Seeing as she was home alone Momoko was currently raiding her older brothers Secret Donut Stash which he thought he had hidden well but Momoko found it easily as she was currently dressed in a pair of bra and panties no doubt being home alone provided her with some more freedom as she watched a magical girl anime Pretty Cure. "Ohh." Momoko sighed as she looked at her bra as it was kind of snug. "I went up another size." Momoko complained as she looked at her chest. "Damn puberty." She complained as she then returned to her anime's. Soon a knock was head at the door as Momoko had planned for that to as she grabbed the clothing she left next to her which was a large T-shirt and a pair of house shorts as she then got up, put them on and went to answer the door.
As she went there she found Mami there as Momoko was surprised by this. "How did you find out where I live?" Momoko asked as Mami simply smiled and made a hand gesture with her right hand where a spell ring would be put and used said hands to make a bird wing flapping which meant, Mami tailed Garuda.
(Inside)
"Sorry for dropping in like this Momoko-chan." Mami said as Momoko served some tea. "But shouldn't you be at school or something even if you are a Mahou Shojou you should still try for and education." Mami said as Momoko sighed.
"I'm a child prodigy I skipped over middle school and I'm now taking online courses for College while Oni-chan prints out tests and assignments I'm required to do." Momoko said as she served the tea. "But what are you doing here anyway Mami shouldn't you be off hunting for Witches or something?" Momoko asked as she looked hoping Kyuubey wasn't with her.
"Actually I was hoping Shiro was here." Mami said as she looked around for Shiro who was with Hitomi.
"He's not here right now." Momoko said as Mami then looked.
"Is he off hunting Phantoms?!" Mami asked hoping to find out how Momoko can fight Phantoms when she herself couldn't.
"Yes," Momoko answer her as she step back away from her, thinking she may ask where her brother is at, but she wasn't going to tell someone she just meet a few days ago for a few minutes and last time she saw her, she had a gun pointed at her and her brother, but she didn't know what happen as now she was on their side.
Mami saw the look on Momoko's face as she saw the peach hair girl didn't trust her enough as she just said, "I see... he's very lucky."
Momoko raise eyebrow as Mami looked around the home and said, "Having someone waiting for him when he get back, and support him… I wish I had someone there."
Momoko looked at Mami and saw how sad she looked and asked her, "Would you like some tea and a sweets?"
Mami suddenly turn to Momoko after she offer her that and said, "Hu?"
(Shiro)
At the Donut Shop Hungry as Shiro and Hitomi were both sitting together at a table as they were both having donut, with Shiro with his plain sugar and Hitomi with a rainbow Donut the owner gave her as Shiro pay for it as he thought, 'Damn my gender.'
After a bit Hitomi started to tell her story as she said to Shiro, "When I was little, my dream was to able to use magic and be a magical girl."
Shiro was about to take a bite out of his donut as he said, "Your dream?"
When the owner heard that, he said, "Oh dreams! Well, I've always wanted to-
The worker of the hungry donut acted fast as he took the donut the owner had ready for any other customers, and shove it in his mouth, as it seem the guy know no one would want to hear his dream, and if they did, it's one that should not be told to young teen like Hitomi.
"Hai! I used to love this book I read about a magical girl giving a magic wand and would going around helping while saying "Alakazam!" and use all sort of magic," Hitomi said as she also stood up when she said, 'Alakazam' and pointed her toy wand out while doing it.
Hitomi went on saying while still standing as she says, "I wanted to be that kind of magical girl. I thought it would be wonderful to help people with magic!"
Shiro knows the what she means as Momoko is similar in a way as he took a bite out of his donut and keep listening to what Hitomi says as she said, "When I got a little older, I was starting to realized it would be impossible. I slowly started to think magic wasn't real... and I was slowly giving it up... but a part of me wanted to keep believing. So I sneak out and change into this outfit thinking maybe if I try hard enough maybe I could do something like a magical girl in the book and help people and make them smile."
Shiro look at her when she said she sneak out to dress like that and asked, "Why do you have to sneak out?"
Hitomi drop her head a bit and said, "My parents… I would think they would disapprove it, as they are always serious with their work, even sometime I hear them talking saying I should be a business woman or maybe a banker, because that one day I would take over the family company... even my father asked me what I wanted when I grow up…"
Shiro look at her as he saw Hitomi play with her fingers as she went on saying, "I got a bit scared of telling him… so I told him I wanted to help people… he took it like I was saying I wanted to be a doctor… but he doesn't realize what I really wanted… So without shaming them and without them knowing, I sneak out and dress up like this so people would hardly know me, going around with a toy wand I gotten from a Yen store, trying to make people smile."
Shiro nodded to this as then Hitomi mood change as she turn around and face Shiro and told him, "But yesterday, I realize how wrong I was."
She went to Shiro side and pull on his sleeve and said, "Magic is real. You're a wizard and you can use magic, so now I truly believe there is such a thing as magical girls. So I wanted to-
Shiro spoken up all of the sudden cutting of Hitomi as he said, "It's not all fun and games. The world doesn't need any more wizards, and magical girls."
Hitomi looked confused at Shiro as she said, "What?"
Shiro stood up and started to walk away as he said, "I said I'll listen. I listened. But your dream can stay just that."
Hitomi watch as Shiro walks away as she wonder what he meant as she didn't know the truth of how cold and dark the world can be, as he maybe cold… but he does care as his thoughts were of Momoko as he fighting to protect her from such things and wanted to keep her smile going even if it the last thing he does.
(Sekai Resident)
"Oni-chan was a Gate and he, he always looked out for me. Our parents they died in a car accident and Oni-chan tried to protect me." Momoko said remembering that day. "I was barely in elementary but already I was gifted for higher learning, my parents were able to get me enrolled into an advanced learning center youngest in years but as we drove home from celebrating a drunk driver hit the car. Oni-chan saw it and used his body to shield me." Momoko said remembering that day. "It was on the day of an eclipse of all things." Momoko said remembering that day.
(Flashback)
Shiro was holding Momoko code as his blood poured out from his body as he looked sadly at Momoko as purple cracks appeared on his body. "Oni-chan!" Momoko cried out as she looked to her brother in tears.
"Sorry Momo-chan." Shiro said as the eclipsed shined behind Momoko.
"Don't go please don't leave me alone!" Momoko called as she saw her brother dying as he roared in pain.
"I..." Shiro began as he looked and saw his patents dead. "I..." Shiro repeated as he looked past Momoko and reached torts the eclipse as his body began to glow gold as in Momoko's sight was Inoue watching the whole thing while sitting upon the Wizard Driver and a wooden box.
(End flashback)
Oni-chan was able to force his Phantom back down and I made a contract with Inoue to save Oni-chan and my life and Oni-chan agreed to help Inoue hunt down the Witches and the Phantoms." Momoko said knowing Mami wasn't part of the inner circle. "And we met another ally that day also." Momoko said as she remembered that day.
(Flashback)
Inoue looked and hid once more when a man in white picked up the belt and box and looked down upon Shiro and Momoko who were waiting for paramedics to show up. "You have faced the force of despair and survived by holding on to light of hope." He said as he passed the items to Shiro. "You have earned the right to become a Mage." He said as Shiro looked to the items in question with so see and shock.
"A mage?" Shiro asked as Momoko shied away from this white Kamen Rider.
"It's the only way to fight the Phantoms." He said before he heard the sound of sirens before he opened the box to reveal a box full of Magic rings.
(Flashback over)
"Oni-chan is all I have left but Inoue tells me I can't and should not fight, like he's scared and doesn't even realize it." Momoko said as she hated seeing her brother fight alone.
'She and Shiro are orphans by tragedy... just like me.' Mami said as she then moved her hand to Momoko's. "I understand trust me... I lost my parents to." Mami said surprising Momoko with that statement.
(With Hitomi at the Library)
Still dress up as she is as she looked around in the children's books area as she look for an old book she loved when she was a few years younger and then her eyes stop on the end of one shelf and saw the book she was looking for called, "The Adventure of magical girl."(Not a real book just fiction)
"There you are," Hitomi said as she pick up the book and said as she looked at it, "My old story book."
Hitomi open the book and turn page by page as she reads a bit of it as her members of it came back as she said, "I used to play along and practice while reading this."
Each page show of a young girl visit by an Angel by it looks and be given a magical wand as she promise to use for good and bring smiles, and she transform into a magical girl and soon each page plays out as the girl help everyone out by fixing a broken tea cup, make boo-boo's go away, and make stars fly across the sky.
Hitomi smile to these as she saw herself sitting in the area reading the book more and more as her younger self says, "Alakazam! Alakazam!"
Hitomi soon close the book as she got what she needed, as she walk to the counter to check it out and said, "Yosh! Now I know magic is real, if I can't get Shiro sempai to teach me… then I will try and find someone else, or teach myself."
As Hitomi left the children's book area and passing many book shelves, coming out from behind one was Hellhound as it seems it was coming after her in the first place and now he knew what Hitomi's hope was, as it give a small laugh and follow her out.
(Outside)
Walk out with her book in hand and get home while hiding the book, but didn't realize what was following her or where it was following her at.
Hitomi keep walking but slow down as she saw something ahead of her something gray and scary to see as she sees many ghouls in front of her as soon enough other people saw them as well as they turn and ran while screaming as Hitomi said, "M-more monsters?"
As the ghouls got closer to her she turn and ran herself as she didn't want to get hurt or worst killed.
(Mami)
The blond hair magical girl walk back to her place as she now know the reason why Shiro prefers to fight alone, why he usually do it by himself sometimes, not because of pride or wanted to be the only hero… it's because of Momoko, and any other girls that made a contract or be acceptable to a contract to be a magical girl, so he can protect them.
Mami knew she wasn't going to stop fighting because of the witches, as she save herself when she made a wish and became a magical girl, but also let her family died, selfish but she was scared and Kyuubey gave her a reason of hope not to fully fall into despair but it turns out it is false hope, but she wasn't going to fall into despair because of it, for the reason is, her hope is to help others, even if she may be afraid and want to give up she just keep her head up as high as she can, and just keep moving forward.
Mami soon hear the sound of a guitar playing as she stop and look ahead on the other side of the street and saw Shiro there with his guitar out and playing a song as she never really heard much of as it was an American song, she not saying it's bad, but never really hear much of them, but the one Shiro is play sounds nice with a good rhythm.
*Insert song: Creed - My Sacrifice (Boyce Avenue acoustic cover) [but image the person singing sounds younger]
Mami is taken by surprise by Shiro voice, and with every note he hit was perfect and the sound of his voice shows emotion that is very strong and powerful in itself.
Mami was told by Momoko Shiro learn how to play the guitar within a few weeks on their late father's old guitar, as it take some people mouths or a year to get a perfect tone, but with a family like Shiro's it must be a family trait.
Mami felt the strength in Shiro's playing and singing like he was singing his feeling out for everyone to hear, as for Mami, she would never thought of doing something like that as she is shy it comes to singing in front of people… she guess that what make Shiro good at what he does as he brave and never let things get him down if he can't help it.
*End song
When the song came to its end Mami just feel relax, calm, like more weight was taken off of her and she didn't fully know why… maybe because of Shiro as he play that song.
Suddenly a horde of scream is heard as Shiro quickly put away his guitar, close up the case, and ran to where the screaming was coming from.
Mami was shocked as she then looked at her Soul Gem as she knew like Shiro she was given power to fight and in turn she had the responsibility to protect people. "Well what are you waiting for?" Inoue asked as Mami looked. "Go help those people!" Inoue ordered as Mami nodded and ran in the same direction as Shiro.
(With Hitomi)
Hitomi was running away from the Ghouls as she then tripped a bit and dropped her book which she then grabbed it quickly. But it proved to be a mistake as Hitomi was now cornered as she scooted back to a tree as the Ghouls walked torts her with spears ready to cut her down.
In her fear Hitomi acted and pointed her index finger and did it. "Alakazam!" Hitomi invoked creating a flamethrower from her finger as the fire knocked the Ghouls back. Hitomi was shocked that she did that as soon Shiro appeared and ran in firing his weapon at the Ghouls knocking them back.
"What?" Hitomi wondered as she looked at her hand in shock.
Shiro came up to beside her and saw it was Hitomi and said, "So the gate wasn't one of those kids. It was her! Run Hitomi."
"DRIVER ON PLEASE!"
Shiro had his driver out and ready to go as he flip the switch as it started its jingle while he raise his left hand.
"SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN! SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN! SHABADOBI TOUCH HENSHIN!"
"Henshin!" Shiro said as he flip the visor down on his flame style ring and scan it as it called out, as Shiro raise his hand in front of him with a magic circle appeared and he ran through it.
"FLAME PLEASE! HI! HI! HI-HI-HI!"
Dodging an attack as wizard ran at the group of ghouls, block around as he flip it out of his arms and push it back.
More ghouls came up from behind him as he wasn't focus on them at the moment and then suddenly magic bullet came flying at them hitting them and destroy them as well as Wizard knew those shots as he look over to Mami in her magical girl form, as Shiro thought, 'What is she doing?'
Mami jump into the fight and hitting a few ghouls away with one of his muskets and said, "Don't mind if I join the fight?"
"Why are you here? These aren't familiar of witch, nor a witch is nearby," Wizard said as he caught a spear in his hands kick the ghoul away and quickly stab another ghoul with it as Mami held two musket and fired upon the ghouls and said, "I'm here to help. Witch or not, it's my duty to help."
Suddenly there were cries of help as a little kid was fell down and his mother was trying to help her son but were quickly surrounded by ghouls as wizard said, "Then help by getting people to safety, I'll handle the ghouls, and watch your magic."
Wizard smack another ghoul away as Mami said, "Got it." Mami quickly summon more musket from her skirt as she open it up, then she grab them before jumping out of the ghoul fighting area and help the mother and child.
AS the ghouls were about to strike them, Mami came in and save them just in time as she blasted two them then use her musket as a club and hit the last one away as she look at the two and said, "Hurry and get out of here. It's not safe."
"Domo!" The mother said as she grab her son and got out of the area and then Mami soon leap off elsewhere to get people out of the area.
Wizard flip over the spears and kick the ghouls away, as he look over at Hitomi as she was so deep in thought she didn't realize what was going on anymore as wizard said, "What's the matter with you? Get out of here!"
Wizard dodge and block attack, another ghoul from the group look at Hitomi as she wasn't paying attention still as it was about to stab her through, wizard try to get to her but ghouls got in his way as he said, "Watch out!"
The ghoul thrust at Hitomi, but just in time, Hitomi dive at her and push her down at the attack missed its target and hit nothing but air, as Hitomi snap out of it and back to reality as she saw Mami who tackle her down as she said, "Sempai?"
"Get out of here quickly," Hitomi suddenly remember there were monster here ready to kill her as she got up and ran away as Mami summon forth another musket rifle and fire upon the ghoul that was near her.
Another ghoul was about to come down at her before she could get out another rifle, until wizard came in and knock it away and stood in front of her with his arms ready to block any other attack as he said, "You did well protecting her, but you still leaving yourself wide open from other attacks."
"I know, but I am trying my best to do so, but I will help the protect people magical girl or not," Mami said as wizard look back at her as Inoue watch the whole scene play out as if it wasn't' for the helmet he would be thinking Shiro is smiling under that helmet a bit.
Ghouls stood together as they fired burning rocks from their hands at the two, as Mami saw the attack coming as she was about to dodge it until Wizard turn and lifted up his coat to block the attack with ease, sense they are small rock with fire on then, he was completely fire proof in that form.
Afterwards as Mami was surprise by Shiro protecting her just them, he flip the coat down and said to her, "Alright then."
Wizard charge at the ghouls once more as he deflexed a ghoul attack and push him back, dodge another as he duck down and twist him body and soon he was back in the center of the ghouls as he push and kick the ghouls back a he charge up an attack, as he focus, and suddenly his foot caught fire.
Wizard then kick at the ghouls very hard with his flaming foot al around him as the phantom hellhound came out from behind a tree and saw this as he huff before going somewhere to get something.
Wizard kick the last ghoul away, as Mami watch wizard taking down the all the ghouls at once as they fell back and exploded in flames.
Wizard took a small breather, and then he hears the sound of a motorcycle engine as he quickly turn around as did Mami, and soon enough they both jump out of the way of a phantom on a motorcycle as it almost ran them down.
Wizard recover and got up to chase it but the motorcycle it had was faster than him on foot, so he would need to match speed for speed as he got out his connect ring and said, "A chase, this is a first, but you're not going to get away."
Wizard switched to his Connected Ring before he flipped the Hand Author and scanned said Ring.
"CONNECT! PLEASE!"
With that Wizard pulled out the Machine Wizard and drove off after Hellhound as they soon were driving through some traffic. As Wizard drove after Hellhound the Phantom weaved through cars surprising them as they honked and nearly crashed no doubt to get Wizard off his tail. Wizard of course was able to avoid them with zero injury to himself as the Phantom then fired at a car causing it to crash while another to flip causing an accident.
"Teme." Wizard growled as he accelerated and jumped over the flipped car as the two were soon neck to neck.
Hellhound pulled out his sword as he began slashing at Wizard in an attempt to take him down but Wizard blocked the attacked and did some impressive acrobatics to avoid getting hit. The two kept at it as then Shiro spun on his bike and kicked the sword out of Hellhounds hand as Wizard kept driving. Soon a truck was honking as the two looked and quickly acted and avoided getting hit by the truck by weaving away from each other. As Wizard returned he saw that Hellhound was gone as he looked around confused before returning his eyes to the road just as Hellhound returned to the main road and began firing at Wizard who saw this and began avoiding this.
"Sneaky mutt." Wizard said as he avoided the attacks. "So your bark AND bite well lets end this." Wizard said as he flipped the Hand Author twice and scanned the Connect Ring once more.
"CONNECT! PLEASE!"
And with that Wizard drew forth the WizarSwordGun in its gun form and got ready. "Finale." Wizard said before pulling the thumb opening the hand.
"C'MON AND SHOOT! SHAKE HANDS! C'MON AND SHOOT! SHAKE HANDS!"
Wizard shake the hand as the weapon called out.
"FLAME SLASH STRIKE! HI-HI-HI! HI-HI-HI!"
Wizard then used his power to jump up with his Rider Machine and began firing at Hellhound hitting him with rapid fire Flame Shots as Hellhound weakened ended up crashing into a large amount of old gas tanks and when he hit them they exploded and possibly with them Hellhound as well. When Wizard landed his motorcycle he came to a complete stop as he was glad that was done with.
(Meanwhile atop a building)
A young girl with sapphire blue eyes, pale skin, and long black hair pulled into twin uneven tails glared down upon Wizard from above as she then glanced coldly to where the Phantom was allegedly destroyed. She then took out a Familiar Ring moved her black jacket/coat combo and showed her black shorts had Hand Author on the belt buckle which was accompanied by a pair of knee high length heeled boots.
"WYVERN! PLEASE/NOW!"
Soon a familiar tray appeared and formed her Wyvern familiar which then flew around her before she placed the ring on its back. "Go investigate the Phantoms destruction see if that idiot finished the job." She said coldly as she glared at the Wyvern who then nodded before it flew to where the Phantom was destroyed. She then picked up her bag before she looked to Wizard as he drove away. "Idiot." She growled as the wind blew a bit showing she was wearing a sort of Bikini like top under her jacket coat.
The mysterious Mage then began walking away as the wind blew a bit showing on her back her own Magic Symbol which was a normal Wizard Symbol but it was one less on the elements which was replaced by a star that also was the center part mixed with a dark pink almost magenta Wizard symbol. As she walked her shoulder sleeves had either a star or the Violet/pink almost Magenta Magic Symbol but it seems hers only had three elements in oppose to four.
"Kyuubey." She began as she glared. "You better leave and hide otherwise I'll find you and all the other Incubators out there." She growled coldly as she seemed to have a history with Kyuubey and the Incubators.
(With Hitomi)
Hitomi was at a tunnel pass area as she was catching her breath as she remembered what she did before. Hitomi looked once more to the offending hand as she wondered if that was just her imagination or a fluke. "I can use magic too." Hitomi said deciding that she did in fact use magic.
(Scene Break that same day Sayaka and Inoue at the Hospital)
Sayaka was walking to the Hospital as Inoue was tagging along with her after the Phantom was dealt with for now. Needless to say Sayaka was shocked to learn that Hitomi was a Gate as the two stayed close together. "Hey Inoue." Sayaka began as she looked to Inoue. "Why do you hate Kyuubey so much?" Sayaka asked as she couldn't image that well that Kyuubey was evil.
"Hate I believe that is a human concept of showing great dislike torts something or someone am I correct?" Inoue asked as Sayaka nodded. "Then it's not just Kyuubey I hate its all of his kind, even myself." Inoue said as Sayaka rode the Elevator up.
"But why?" Sayaka asked as Inoue sighed.
"As you almost saw with Mami the other day she almost died, its proof that not many magical girls would walk away from a battle, but when that happens our kind simply takes it with stride and goes on to the next potential Magical Girl." Inoue explained as Sayaka looked. "There was once a magical girl named Koyomi and she was different the everyone else, she made her wish for her father wish and hope to come true and ironically his hope was for Koyomi to get healthy once more. Koyomi knew what she was getting herself into she asked all the right questions and didn't mind the price if it meant helping others. I... grew fond of her, but well when one grows fond of something or someone they tend to lose that thing." Inoue explained not even shedding a tear but the emotions behind it was clear even with Inoue's blank look. Inoue hated his people's ways, the ways that took Koyomi away and now he intends of revenge against all of their kind, even himself.
Sayaka look to the Incubator, and asked "So what happen to her, this Koyomi I mean. Did she get hurt in a battle of a witch or did she-
"I believe this is your floor, Sayaka," Inoue said as he cut her off as the elevator beeped and the doors open as Sayaka quickly got off and walk a bit fast to kamijou room but she glance at Inoue as he didn't say anything else about Koyomi, but she wonder... what made Koyomi a special kind of girl that made Inoue rebel against its own kind?
Upon reaching kamijou room she knock on it before opening it and found the bed empty as she is surprise to see it empty and then two nurses that was down the hall saw her as one said to her, "Oh, are you here to see Kamijou-kun?"
Sayaka turn to the nurse as she said, "Y-yeah."
"I'm sorry, but the date of his examination was moved up, so he's in the rehabilitation area right now," The same nurse told her as Sayaka lower her head down a little sad as she wasn't going to see Kamijou and said, "I see… Arigato."
Sayaka thank the nurse for telling her but still keep her head down as the other nurse started to say, "She sure visits a lot, doesn't she?"
"Yeah, but I'm glad she does. That patient is difficult to handle," The first nurse said to the other as the 2nd nurse said, "I hope she's cheering him up. He was a violin prodigy before the accident, right?"
"Even if he were able to walk again, it's likely he'll never be able to play an instrument with those fingers," The first nurse told the 2nd.
Sayaka took the elevator back down as she still looking sad about the whole thing and wonder if she make the contract with either Kyuubey or Inoue and make a wish to help the person she likes, would it be selfish or selfless as she asked Inoue who is still on her shoulder as she asked, "Hey Inoue… the wish for the contract… you can wish for anything even for someone else right?"
Inoue blink at that but knew what she is meaning as Inoue hear the nurses loud and clear, and the hallways of the hospital were a bit echoing so if he heard them, so did Sayaka.
"Any wish that can be within reason of doing, the only limit to a wish is how much you'll be asking of a wish and you would also have to be specific like if you wish for breakfast and wanted pancake but didn't ask for them and got waffles instead, or just be given breakfast and be serve without a plate to hold it. A wish is as dangerous and uncontrollable as well as your old human saying goes, be careful of what you wish for as you may get it,"
"So if I wanted to wish someone to be healed fully and I mean fully, it can be done?" Sayaka asked as Inoue said, "Yes it can, but if you wish to make a contract with me right now, I request for you to think about carefully about being a magical girl, as well as your wish and ask yourself… is it truly what you really want?"
Sayaka thought for a moment and keep silent for the moment as she take what Inoue said to her carefully as if she does it and didn't want it, there's no take backs.
Sayaka sighed to all this as she thought, 'I'm... a horrible person.'
Sayaka forgetting an important thing as Inoue is still on her shoulder and his telepathy connect was still on and he heard every word she thought as he think to himself as he thought, 'what can I say to help her?'
They stay silent as they reach the bottom and soon left the hospital for now as Sayaka may visit another time.
(Time skip, morning)
At the Sekai resident as our local wizard made breakfast, but it seem they wasn't the only ones as sitting at the table as Homaru was still there along with Mami as Momoko invited her to eat breakfast with them, while Homaru was there for her own reasons.
Inoue was a no show at the table it seem as everyone was eating breakfast, Momoko yawn as she seem tired, more likely she stay up at night a bit watching more of her animes, while Shiro yawning a lot more as he been training a lot the other day using a lot of magic and stay up a bit late as well.
Mami look to them as she says, "Are you two alright?"
"Yea… just training and increasing my mana, Momo-chan is most likely staying up late watching her shows, I swear she watch so much of that stuff it's amazing her brain isn't rotting from it," Shiro said as Momoko look to her brother as she said, "My brain is just fine, baka Oni-san."
Homaru looks at them and said in her normal almost emotionless tone, "You're both are weird."
"By the way where's, Inoue isn't he normally here with you guys in the morning?" Mami asked as she looked to the Kamen Rider and the Magical Girl.
"Normally he is but he's vanishing at all hours of the day and appearing when he feels like it." Shiro said not worried as Momoko nodded.
"Yeah he doesn't normally stay in one spot to long and with Homura here I can understand why." Momoko said looking at Homura as she glared.
"I did apologize for attacking him I thought he was someone else." Homura countered as she glared. "Though I am tempted to attack him again after he used me to test out a new Magic Ring he found." Homura said as Momoko then snickered.
"Actually I think that makes you guys even you attack and try to kill him, he shows mercy and uses you as a guinea pig for the new ring." Momoko said as Shiro looked.
"Well at least I know where he tested the Ring out and who he tested it with." Shiro said glad he listened to Inoue instead of trying the Ring himself... but then again it could be useful when he wants Momoko to sleep.
"But don't you get concerned with Inoue keeping secrets?" Homura asked as Shiro looked.
"Yeah every day since I've met the furry jerk." Shiro said as he knew Inoue may have a reason for keeping secrets but those secrets sometimes nearly gotten them killed a couple of times before.
"If that is the case then why work with him?" Mami asked as Shiro looked.
"Reason being... I'm the only one who feeds him and because he needs to be here to keep Momoko's Soul Gem from turning Black." Shiro said gesturing to the runes all over the house. "See those keep her Soul Gem fueled and everything to keep it from being tainted black and with it I don't have to worry while I'm out and about." Shiro said as he leaned back to relax a bit as he ate his breakfast.
"So you're saying the reason you work with him is because you both get something out of it." Homura said as she had to admit to herself Inoue makes some pretty fair deals.
"Yeah, but why do you, Madoka, and Sayaka still hang out with Kyuubey?" Shiro asked as Mami sighed.
"Simply put we need him when Inoue isn't around but if you guys don't trust him I suppose it pays to keep a close eye on him." Mami said as she remembered how Kyuubey made the contract with her for her powers when she was about to die that day so long ago.
"That pretty much all we can ask for, dealing with the white furry Bastard seem he still trying to trick the girls," Shiro said as he finish up his breakfast and took his plate and said, "I'm going to get ready. You two girls after your finish, please take care of your plates, and get ready as well sense you do go to school, and Momo-chan, you got a test a test on history today, so after your pick up your history book, page 57 chapter 9 and read up really quick and do the test whenever today."
"Hai-hai," Momoko said as she still sounded groggy as Shiro took care of his plate, put on his uniform jack and button it up before he walk to the door picking up his school bag, his guitar case and soon walk out.
Mami watch as Shiro walks out while he close the door and said, "Your brother is truly amazing, isn't he?"
"You think so? Sometimes I think he more of a baka sometimes, but he does great things as well," Momoko said with a smile as her mood suddenly change as Homaru notice and can only think is, 'Weird.'
(Shiro)
On his way out to school as he think of what he supposed to do and did as he listed off things, "Made breakfast and left Inoue food in the fridge for Momo-chan to heat up again, did that. Summon he familiar and gave them a quick refill on mana, did that as well. And lastly print out Momo-chan test… can't think of anything else so looks like I'm good."
(Later at school)
Shiro sitting in class writing down notes for his up-coming test, writing some cheat sheet just for him to remember how to do a math problem like how many square inch in a 5 meter circle, and what the 4th angle degree to a circle if the first is 90 degree, the 2nd is 180 and the 3rd is 60… the answer is 30 by the way.
Shiro wasn't a child prodigy like his sister but he is pretty smart enough to know this and soon enough the bell rang for lunch and the teacher said, "Remember class test are just as important as homework for your grades. The study and be prepared on Wednesday."
Shiro grab his bag and guitar case and headed to lunch, and get something to eat, and if the Hungry Donut is nearby, he would pick up his favorite treat.
(Later on the Roof)
Shiro was sitting cross legged on the ground as he had a small bento on one side and a bag of Hungry Donuts on the other right next to each other as he opened the bento and took in the delicious aroma of freshly cooked food. As he took it in he then began to eat as he did so in his own traditional way of things. "Hmm no Witches and the Phantom was beat but that doesn't prove that Hitomi is in the clear yet." Shiro said as he had his mouth full. "But then again she isn't exactly an easy target being as she is a high case target." Shiro said as he ate his food.
"I wouldn't be so sure Shiro." Came the voice of Inoue causing Shiro to freak out and start choking as he coughed big time. Shiro quickly grab his drink and drank from it sending the food down the hole easier. Once he did so Shiro gasped for breath as he looked to Inoue with a major glare.
"INOUE WHAT THE HELL YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME?!" Shiro yelled at Inoue as Inoue tilted his head.
"I did not realize you were capable of being killed by simple choking on food Shiro considering you always evade death so narrowly with Witches and Phantoms." Inoue said as Shiro then sighed.
"Ok any reason why you snuck up today." Shiro said as he kept eating. "Especially since you were a no show for breakfast this morning." Shiro said as Inoue looked.
"I was investigating the location of another Witch being defeated by us, the Cake Witch left a Grief Seed yes but it seems it also left behind a Magic Ring, the problem with that is that I couldn't reach it in time before it was intercepted. Though I went to a different location and found another Ring as well." Inoue said moving his paw to show said Ring was now under it.
"What's this one?" Shiro asked as he looked at the Ring in question.
"It's a Ring that will light your way when things get to dark." Inoue said as Shiro looked confused. "Sorry I was attempting to be poetic and cryptic with that Rings power while also stating the obvious ability." Inoue said as Shiro nodded.
"So it's a powerful light bulb then." Shiro said as Inoue nodded.
"Yes as for the Magic Rings it seems that a Magic Ring is left behind when the Witch is defeated by a Ring bearing Wizard from the magic left behind though it isn't always confirmed as some Witches may not give such a Ring out as it could point that the Witch in question had to be a Gate at one point." Inoue said as Shiro nodded.
"Ok that makes sense I guess." Shiro said as it was better than waiting for the Rings to be forged. "Hey Inoue if I can ask, I heard the tabloids a while back call me a Kamen Rider, in fact they called me the 14th Kamen Rider of our Era." Shiro said as Inoue looked.
"Yes why do you ask?" Inoue asked as Shiro looked.
"Aren't there other Kamen Riders who can also fight and help us out?" Shiro asked as Inoue looked.
"It's not that simple Shiro, very few Kamen Riders utilize magic and none of them utilize it at your level. Most Riders rely on certain sources for their powers and almost none of them were designed to combat a Phantom, the closest I can think with such a closely enough similarity is Kamen Rider Kiva is helping Sailor Moon in Juban but to keep the peace between humans, Youma, and Fangires. OOO's only recently got his powers back after an event a while back and he's aiding Ronin Warriors in their city, and Fourze is currently abroad to finish his studies while Meteor and the Saints of Athena keep their city safe with him gone." Inoue said as he looked to Shiro. "I understand the extra help could be useful but for now the only ones we can rely to aid us, are the Magical Girls here in this city." Inoue said as Shiro nodded to this.
(Note those are not actual planned fanfics I had just mentioned they are simply nods and reasons why the other Riders can't come and aid Wizard)
"Anyway I'll see you later Shiro I simply stopped by to drop that Ring off I'm doing a bit of investigation that lead me here and keeping an eye on Sayaka and Madoka. Kyuubey is staying near them but since Mami didn't die Kyuubey cant guilt them into making a contract the easy way, he may just give up though but his prize is Madoka her potential is very strong maybe even strong then yours and Momoko's if Madoka makes a contract and becomes a Witch later she will be impossible to defeat." Inoue said as Shiro looked.
"What are you suggesting Inoue?" Shiro asked not liking where this is going.
"Right now I'm weighing the options but if worse comes to worse and all the alternatives are used and defeated then we may have to put her down the minute she becomes a Magical Girl." Inoue said as Shiro was shocked. "Like I said she's a major threat if she makes a contract I simply didn't realize how big till after I offered her a contract and saw how Kyuubey won't stop trying." Inoue said as he began to walk away.
"What are you even investigating?" Shiro asked as Inoue looked.
"Lately I've been sensing a Phantom and a Witch in the same spot wherever they go but the problem is there hasn't been any Labyrinths showing up nor has there been any attacks on Gates in this area or on you that matches this Phantom and Witch its very confusing and worth looking into." Inoue said as he began to walk away. "For now I'm heading over to see Madoka and Sayaka make sure Kyuubey doesn't try anything outside our watch." Inoue said as he jumped onto the fence and then jumped off to find the two mentioned girls.
Unaware to Shiro a familiar girl was listening as she saw and heard the whole thing as she was eating a candy bar which she then took a bite out of before taking her leave from the area.
(Scene Break after School Hitomi at the Park from before)
Hitomi was at the park with the group of kids from before as she have been doing a lot of things when she discover her use of fire power as first thing is she try using her toy wand to see if it work with it, sadly it just burn and melted to her dismay.
She tried other things like metal pipes, and copper tubes but they gotten too hot for her to hold afterwards, she try wooden stick but that just burn as much as her toy wand.
With her failures, she gave up trying to use a wand knowing if it wasn't magical then she can't use it so she stick with her finger as she knew it worked before, as she felt out her finger as she said, "Fire Alakazam!"
A stream of fire came forth from her finger and the boys cheer a bit as one said, "What a sweet trick." "How'd you do it?" another boy asked her.
"Yea what's the secret?" a 3rd boy asked as Hitomi turn to them as she says, "No secret here. It's real magic!"
"Now one more time?" Hitomi said to them as she prepare herself to do it again as she accidently pull her arm back and poke someone chin as she as she quickly turn around and said, "Oh Gomen-nasai. I didn't know someone was behind me."
The person she poke was a man in his late 30 or early 40s wearing a white suit as he give a small bow and said, "it's right and sorry if I'm interrupting you as well."
Hitomi looked confused at the man as he held out a card to her and said, "My name is Tajima from T.V Yuuhi. I host a talk show, and I could not help but see your doing magic, are you a magician?"
Hitomi give a small laugh as she rub the back of her head as she said, "No I'm not. I'm more of a magical girl… in training."
The man said, "Awe!" while giving a nod and said, "You seem you have talent, but if you wouldn't mind I would like to do an interview with you if you don't mind."
"An Interview… like live T.V?!" Hitomi said as Tajima nod a bit and said, "Yes, on T.V."
Hitomi blush a bit and said, "Oh I don't if I can do an interview. I don't want my parents to see me, or have people watching me!"
"Don't worry, it's mostly a small crowd of people with the camera crew that are also doing their job, and it doesn't have to be live T.V. Just a quick interview and small talk, it be no more than 15 minutes of your time. Tell you what, I'll even throw in a magical outfit for you, a completely new design, if you want it?" Tajima offer as Hitomi turn to the man and asked, "A new magical girl costume… would have a sparkle design or a wand with it?"
The strange man shrugs and said, "I don't see why not. I have good connections that can help make stuff really fast."
Hitomi thought for a moment as she lean back and forth of her feet and said, "Alright, I'll do it."
"Great, now the times and dates are stamped on the card, come around on one of those time, and I'll have everything prepared for you before you get to the studio," Tajima said as Hitomi nod and said, "Hai, arigato Tajima-san."
Coming down the road was Shiro as his familiars told him Hitomi was at the park for some reason as he wanted to check up on her at the moment, as he came and see Hitomi was back in her outfit and she was talking to a man in a suit as he said, "what am I going to do with her? Hey Hitomi-chan?"
"Hu? Shiro-sempai?" Hitomi said as she rush out to hit a bit but stop for a moment and turn to Tajima and said, "See you later Tajima-san!"
Tajima bow and walk away as Hitomi walk up to Shiro as she said, "Sempai!"
(Later at the hungry Donut)
Shiro pick up his plain sugar donut and stop for a moment as he said, "Hu? You're a magical girl now?"
This confused Shiro very much as last he check, Hitomi wasn't acceptable for a contracted and she didn't have many items on her that could be a soul gem as far as he can tell, and she hasn't fall into despair to use ring magic.
Hitomi grab at Shiro Donut and pull it out of his hand as she said, "You sound like you don't believe me!"
Shiro seem a bit irritated as someone took his treat, it's bad enough that Momoko finds his stash at the house, as Hitomi saw his reaction as she took his donut but give a small laugh and place it down on a small plastic plate that was in front of Shiro.
"Then Watch Sempai." Hitomi said as she ran over to the side and got her finger ready as she focused on her magic ready to use it. "Alakazam!" She invoked but to her shock nothing happened this time around. "Huh?" Hitomi asked shocked that it didn't work. "That one didn't count! One more time!" Hitomi called as she figured she may have screwed up a bit there. Hitomi focused once more ready to give it a second go as she focused on the attack. "Alakazam!" Hitomi invoked once more as she pointed but once again nothing happened.
"Make sure your gimmicks are set up next time, Hitomi." Shiro said das he looked to see that Hitomi may have faked the whole thing as he tried to eat his donut.
But then Hitomi ran over to Shiro as she grabbed his arm shocked to see her magic wasn't working. "It wasn't a trick! It was real magic!" Hitomi called as she was trying to make sense of why it wasn't working. "My power awakened when I was attacked, and I could shoot fire out of my hand and wand." Hitomi said as she did try a couple times with her Magic wand.
"Nani?" Shiro asked remembering how Hellhound did something similar but Hellhound was defeated wasn't he? "This is some kind of Phantom plot." Shiro said realizing that Hellhound may still be alive as Hitomi tried to perform her 'magic.' "Hitomi, your magic isn't real." Shiro said as that caused Hitomi to stop and look to him in shock.
"What?" She asked as she didn't expect Shiro to say that especially after all the times he had given words of encouragement to them when they were down.
"The Phantom's toying with you. The Monster that attacked you wants you to think you're a wizard for some reason." Shiro said as he gave her the facts he could gather thus far.
"No way! It was working until you showed up! Everyone was amazed!" Hitomi countered glaring at Shiro but when Hitomi said that out loud she realized what was happening or as she perceived it as she looked at her hands. "I know what this is. You're interfering with your magic, aren't you, Shisou?" Hitomi accused as Shiro was shocked.
"Huh?" He asked as Hitomi glared.
"You said this world doesn't need any more Magical Girls or Wizards! That's why you're trying to stop me!" Hitomi accused as she glared at Shiro.
"No! This is all part of the Phantom's plan!" Shiro said as he stood up. "He's getting your hopes up so that he can break you!" Shiro accused as he looked down to Hitomi before putting his hand on her shoulder. "That's how they're going to force you into despair!" Shiro said as he tried to get Hitomi to give it up.
"That's what you're doing!" Hitomi yelled as she forced Shiro's arm off of her as in doing so the table was knocked down with the donut. The two workers saw this and quickly opted to hide away as they knew they should stay out of this. "You showed me magic and made me believe in Wizards and Magical Girls again. And now my Magic is supposed to be fake?!" Hitomi accused Shiro as Shiro was shocked by this. "Leave me alone." Hitomi said before she stormed off clearly angry.
(With the Phantoms)
Phoenix was knocking things down around him as they were in an old cloths store as both he and Medusa were in there human forms hiding for now. Phoenix was furious at Hellhounds defeat. "Worthless idiot!" Phoenix yelled throwing his tantrum. "Can't even stand up to one Wizard!" Phoenix yelled in fury as he knocked things down.
"I'm not sure I'd call him worthless yet." Medusa said as she sat on a sofa. "Isn't that right, Hellhound?" Medusa asked surprising Phoenix.
"I'm honored, milady." Hellhound spoke as Phoenix looked to the entrance to see Hellhound was not there but then Hellhound rose up from Phoenix shadow laughing as when Phoenix saw this he was caught off guard and surprised as he stepped back.
"Hellhound! I thought the Wizard got you..." Phoenix said as Hellhound chuckled.
"Oh? Phoenix-sama, were you not aware of my ability to hide within the shadows?" Hellhound asked as Phoenix then began to laugh as they had one up the Wizard.
"Nice! I figured you'd have a tricked up your sleeve!" Phoenix cheered trying to take some credit.
"That was not how it appeared to me." Came a new voice as they all looked to see Kyuubey there as Medusa saw this.
"Incubator? What brings you here last I checked we are supposed to be neutral to each other." Medusa said as Kyuubey jumped in as he looked.
"Normally yes but certain, events have come to my attention and I believe we can come to a sort of deal." Kyuubey said as Phoenix glared at Kyuubey.
"What do you want?" Phoenix demanded as he didn't like this weak immortal here.
"I've come to make a deal with you all." Kyuubey said as he looked to the three.
"You don't say." Gremlin said as he got up from behind the wall as the Green Phantom did have a history with beating Magical Girls. "Yes I need your help in dealing with the Wizard and eliminating a few particular people, I assure you it will be beneficial for both of us you lose a threat in your attempt to begin a Sabbath and I gain an asset in dealing with Witches and ensuring the Law of Cycles." Kyuubey said as Gremlin smiled.
"Ok then what's the deal?" Gremlin asked as Kyuubey smiled.
"I will offer you valuable intelligence to utilize and in return you eliminate a certain group of Magical Girls, a good number of them are Gates so you get a as the humans say a, two for one if you can turn them into Phantoms." Kyuubey said as Medusa smiled.
"Seems we have a common enemy then." Medusa said as she was intrigued by this deal. "I will speak with Wiseman then over this attempt alliance." Medusa said as Kyuubey nodded. "Anyway I should go now, Madoka and Mami may be wondering where I am right now." Kyuubey said before he began to take his leave to head back and avoid any more suspicion on himself from those girls or the Wizard who utilizes Magical Rings.
"Oh and Hellhound." Kyuubey stopped as Hellhound looked. "The Studio you plan to make Madoka fall into despair at has a Labyrinth with a Witch, utilize both tomorrow if you wish to defeat the Wizard and drive Hitomi into despair." Kyuubey said as Hellhound enjoyed that tidbit of information. "The results tomorrow will be at their best as long as you do not screw up." Kyuubey said before he took his leave and vanished within the crowd.
(Scene Break Sekai Residence that night)
Shiro was sitting in the dark to be alone with his thoughts, with the sound of a ticking clock in the background as he said, "So she wants to be a magical girl."
The sound of small foots steps are heard, as Shiro knew them all so well as Inoue came by and jump onto he coffee table as he asked, "Is something wrong Shiro?"
Shiro looked at the dark cat rabbit creature as he said to him, "I didn't ask to become a wizard or used magic when it happened to me... but I guess I can see how she'd feel like I'm doing the same thing as that phantom."
"But it doesn't mean you and the phantoms are the same. You try and tell the girl the truth she can't be who she wants to be, but she lives in her own world. As you human living in the west saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink, as I understand human is as stubborn than most creatures as they can't let go of what they wanted the most for a dream or a goal," Inoue said as Shiro looks at him and asked, "But does it make it right?"
Inoue look at Shiro and then he said, "Shiro do you remember what I said when we meet for the first time?"
(Flashback)
At a beach area where Shiro and Momoko stay in the waters, still wearing their clothing, as Shiro was wearing the ruby flame style ring and the driver around his waist in off mode showing just the Hand author as a belt buckle, and Momoko sitting with her brother with the necklace around her neck that holds her soul gem.
The siblings were release from the hospital the day after they lost their parents, and now they were just soaking in the sea waters remembering the time when they were still together on that very same beach.
Shiro wanted to cry, wanted to yell out in anger and frustration, but he didn't want to scare Momoko or look weak in their time of lost, keeping it together the best he could as he came to the beach to calm himself… his mind and let the waters wash away his sadness, but it cannot wash away his memories.
"Two you are going to get sick if you sit in the water for too long," The voice of Inoue came to them as Shiro turn to see Inoue for the first time, as the creature was sitting on a wooden post that was in the waters near them as Shiro said, "What the?"
"It's you again," Momoko said as she remember Inoue after the crash, and made a wish to help save her brother form bleeding to death and given her magical girl power but haven't use them yet at this point.
"You know this thing?" Shiro asked as he looked at the creature.
"Yeah I met him in the crash he, saved our lives." Momoko said as Inoue looked.
"I assure you I only saved your lives so you can help me with my own problems." Inoue said as he looked at the duo. "My name is Inoue and I'm an Incubator seeking your aid in dealing with a threat to the world." Inoue said as he looked to the duo.
"But why should I help you, sure you saved us but you could have saved our parents also!" Shiro accused as he glared at Inoue.
"That was not the wish Momoko had asked for but even if she did their injuries were beyond my power, a normal Incubator may have been able to do it but my power is crippled at the moment so I did what I could Shiro-san." Inoue said as Shiro looked down. "But Shiro... that feeling of despair will harm even more people that's why I need your help, I want to defeat the Incubators and the Phantoms but as I am now I can't do so alone." Inoue said as he looked to the two. "The Incubators used Magical Girls to make Witches hence why I made Momoko a Magical Girl I merely need her long enough to handle the Witches as a whole." Inoue said as he looked to Momoko. "So please if I must beg I shall do so but I will not force you Shiro or Momoko but I will respect your decision right or wrong it's your choice." Inoue said as he looked to the two more specifically Shiro's Ruby Red Ring.
(Flashback End)
"Yeah I remember." Shiro said as he remembered that day. "It was the day we made that covenant to take down the Phantoms and Incubators." Shiro said as he looked to Inoue.
"Well what I said back then still stands, Hitomi has made her choice and she just wants to live her dreams as she envisioned them but in the end right or wrong it's your choice in the end of it all when it's all said and done." Inoue said as he looked to the Ring Bearing Wizard. "Anyway I need to be off last minute stuff but I need to check on Sayaka and Madoka I'll probably spend the night at one of their houses so please don't destroy anything important we need." Inoue said in a slight joking tone as he jumped off the coffee table and began to walk away.
"No problem Inoue, and thanks." Shiro said as Inoue simply looked back and nodded before he began walking away to Sayaka and Madoka's houses tonight.
(Scene Break the next morning)
Shiro was walking out the door, today there is no school for some reason, as Shiro think it was a holiday or it is one of those days the school is close for something, but Shiro forgot the reason as he was busy with other things as he was about to do his routine job of his guitar playing, then suddenly he was getting a call as he stop for a moment and answer is as he said, "Moshi-moshi?"
"Shiro-sempai, can you believe it?!" The voice on the phone sounded like Madoka as Shiro had to pull it away from his ear for a moment and said, "Whoa-whoa-whoa calm down Madoka-chan. Believe what?"
"Hitomi-chan is a magical girl! She invited us to join on the show, it's going to be on T.V and what I hear from other people, It's Live!" Shiro eyes widen to this as Madoka went on saying, "It's, so amazing as me and Sayaka thought she was camera shy too."
"Madoka what show or channel is it going to be on?" Shiro asked as Madoka said on the line, "Channel 28."
"Thanks Madoka, Chou!" Shiro said as he hang up right away and rush back into the house as he yell to Momoko, "Change channel 28 quick!"
Momoko look at her brother as she was watching anime as she said, "Why?"
"Just do it!" Shiro said as he came back the couch and look at the T.V as Momoko pause her show for the moment and change it to T.V channel 28 as it showing an average talk show as the show talk host, Tajima started to announce as he brought in the Guest of the day as he said, "It's a real magical girl, Hitomi Shizuki."
From behind a door Hitomi came out of it and saw she was wearing a bright color magical girl outfit with a new wand in her hand and for some odd reason there was a book in Hitomi's arms as Shiro think it could be Hitomi sign of hope.
The camera soon looked to the crowd as it show on T.V, and Shiro saw Madoka and Sayaka there, but what surprising Shiro the most is what he saw in the back in the behind the audience was a blur spot.
In scientific study of the supernatural people believe that a dark spirit can cause blur spots to appear on camera, while Shiro does his own research at things and use the camera the family have and recorded family time, Shiro use it to see if video can catch Grief seed on screen and it show a dark blur, just like that he saw on the screen as he said, "Oh great."
Shiro left without saying anything else as Momoko said, "What's going on? He never tell me stuff... Hey Madoka and Sayaka." Momoko said as she look back at the screen and saw at the people in the audience including the two girls.
(Shiro)
Shiro rush to his bike as he got his phone out and call someone fast as the person answer as Shiro said, "Mami, something is going down at Yuuhi T.V station, I need you to contact Homaru and tell her to meet up there, and we got a phantom, and a possible witch that may hatch soon from Grief Seed."
"Hai, Inoue is on his way over, I'll meet up with Homaru," Mami said on the phone as he said, "Thank Mami-chan!"
Shiro hang on as he put it away as he was on his bike and put his helmet on, and then he start it and drive off fast to the T.V studio.
(The T.V studio)
Sayaka and Madoka sat and watch as clap to the show, but then given the signal to quiet down, and so now they watch and see how things are playing out as Hitomi stood next to Tajima as the host guy says, "Now, what's this book you have there?"
Hitomi held the book out as she started to say, "Well, this is a picture book I loved when I was little, and I wanted to be like the character in the book."
Tajima took the book for a moment and look at it, as the look in his eyes reeks evil as it glow a dark red for a moment.
(Shiro)
Driving fast on the highway and hoping to get to that Studio in time to stop the phantom and prevent the grief egg from hatching in the middle of a show as Shiro thought, 'That host is the phantom. He got Hitomi-chan excited, and is going to hit her with the reality on live T.V!'
As Shiro keep driving, he didn't notice something following in the air as it was the Wyvern familiar of that one mage ring user, as its eyes look down at Shiro reporting everything its sees in its eyes.
"Come on go faster." Shiro begged as he rode off torts the Studio pushing his motorcycle to its limit.
The Wyvern then flew off as it seen felt another source of magic two of which its mistress should be aware of right now as it flew a ways back and saw Homura and Mami running to the Studio right where its Mistress was observing it all.
(With the Mysterious figure)
The girl from the other day saw it through a pocket mirror as she saw what her familiars saw as her mirror was split into three segments for her three familiars. The girl growled as she then decided she would corner those two off better to end their suffering now then prolong it.
(At the TV Station)
"Well, let's get started with the magic. Go on, Hitomi-san!" Tajima said as his eyes were back to normal just as Inoue arrived in the studio.
"Oh no." Inoue said as he looked for Sayaka and Madoka hoping to find them as he quickly found the grief seed.
"Right!" Hitomi said with a smile as it was like the worlds cruelest prank was about to play on national television. Lights were on Hitomi as she got ready to use her magic as there was a sort of Magical Girl sort of theme playing as the drum roll as Inoue got to Madoka and Sayaka.
"Madoka! Sayaka! You need to stop this!" Inoue called with urgency as the two were shocked to see Inoue jump right in front of them. "The announcer is a Phantom and a Witch seed is behind the audience!" Inoue called out as the two were shocked as they saw the Grief Seed right behind the audience as it could hatch at any moment.
(With Shiro)
Shiro rode in and skipped over the security guards as he had to hurry and rescue Hitomi now.
(At the Studio)
Madoka and Sayaka were about to get up and stop this or at least do something to make it look like Hitomi could do it but they acted too late as Hitomi did the deed and walked straight into the Phantoms trap. "Alakazam!" She invoked but in turn nothing happened as Hitomi was confused. "Huh?" Hitomi asked as she saw nothing came out of her wand as she was shocked by this. "Alakazam!" She tried again only to be met with the same results as before. "Alakazam!" She tried for a third time but once again nothing as people began to get confused. "Alakazam!" She tried for the fourth time before trying again and again as nothing was happening for her to make her magic be known.
"Hitomi." Madoka said as Sayaka was shocked as what made this worse was this was national television which meant Hitomi was quiet possibly humiliated in front of thousands of viewers nationwide.
(With Homura and Mami)
The two ran by a TV Store and were shocked to see the whole thing as Mami's hands moved to her mouth in shock at Hitomi at what the phantom did. "Come on we can cut through the park area if we hurry." Homura said as Mami nodded as the two ran into said park area.
But as the two ran they soon had to dodge gun fire as they ducked and cover and saw a girl walk out with a similar weapon to Shiro and rings on her middle fingers of both hands. It was the same girl from before as she glared at the two with cold sapphire blue eyes as she looked to them. "You're Soul Gems." She began as the two got worried a bit. "Your souls are trapped there imprisoned by Kyuubey and his manipulations." She continued as she glared at the two. "I will set your souls free... and return them to God." She said as she then scanned the ring on her right hand.
"DRIVER ON! PLEASE/NOW!"
"What?!" Homura asked as Mami didn't expect that girl to be a Wizard.
She then flipped the Hand Author causing the Jingle to start no doubt she had practice with this power of hers.
"SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN! SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN! SHABADOBI TOUCH HENSHIN!"
She then moved her left hand ever so elegantly to her face before she used her right hand to flip the goggles before holding her hand into a fist and holding it torts the two girls. "Henshin." She invoked before she canned the Ring.
"PYRO! PLEASE/NOW!"
And with that she then held the hand before her opened as soon a magic circle appeared at it shocking the girls.
"HI! MAHOU SHOJOU RIDA: WITCH!" (Flame Magical Girl Rider: Witch)
Soon she was endowed in a black suit with pink crystals across her body as she had two fins on her head showing she wasn't like Wizard one bit. Her entire outfit spoke of a Witch as when she walked the sound of a Pegasus was heard followed by a burst of her own magic creating an energy pulse similar to a Labyrinth minus the actual Labyrinth seeing as they were still in the park area near the shopping district.
"Sa... Extermination Time da." She said as she held her left hand with her style ring next to her head as she saw her targets on them, their soul gems. "Make this easy on yourselves and give up those Soul Gems I promise you your sacrifice will not be in vain and your rest will be peaceful." She said as it seems she was trying to 'help,' Mami and Homura by freeing them of Kyuubey.
"I have no idea who you are, but you're in the way," Homaru said as she starting to hate this girl thinking she herself made a contract with Kyuubey, when it was another, as yes both are Incubator and most of them are bastards, but it felt like an insult to her.
"We don't have time for this, please stand aside if do you not wish to be harm," Mami said to the Witch ring user as she felt that witch power within her which is strange but she didn't don't have the luxury to know he story as they are on a race against time, with witch power similar to Shiro's wizard power she figure both her and Homaru can go against her easy as sense they both seen what Shiro can do while henshin, that is if she doesn't stand aside.
K.R Witch however doesn't seem to fear them, more like she feels superior to them and should have given up, as Witch stood a fighting stands as she said, "Very well then, let us start. Come at me if you wish."
Both girl made no hesitation as they brought forth their soul gem and transform into their magical girl forms as light engulf them both and then vanish leaving the girls in their magical girl outfits as they were ready to go at her as they also summon their weapons and open fired upon her.
Witch saw the shot coming a mile away as she dodge them with ease as she rush at them fast.
Homaru gotten some Uzi's firing full auto at her but Witch dodge those shots as she brought up a spell ring as she quickly put it on, flip her driver to the casting side as it started to jingle like wizards belt but in a different tone.
"LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO! LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO!"
Witch scan the ring as it called out, "CONNECT PLEASE/NOW!"
As magic circle appeared to the side of witch showing a purple color with a different shape to it compare to wizard magic circle as K.R witch reach her hand into it and grab her weapon and charged at the two fast.
(Hitomi)
Hitomi try as much as she could but she could not use the magic she thought she had as one of the side host looked at her and said, "So it was all just a lie?"
The 2nd side host looked at Hitomi and said, "If you're going to perform on live broadcast, you should really set up your gimmicks beforehand!
The 3rd side host at the end of the table sat down in disappointment and said, "How stupid can this little girl be?"
"N-no wait! It's not a gimmick! I swear it was real," Hitomi said as she looked at the side host as Sayaka and Madoka knew what's going to happen next, and there was nothing they could do at this point as if they just go up their security would most likely stop them before they could get up there, and the grief seed was pulsing more and more as the energy build up, the witch is just moments away from hatching, and the only thing they can do is asked themselves, 'What can we do?'
"You should have known that you're no magical girl," Tajima said to Hitomi as he started to walk up to her as he give a small evil laugh as he went on saying, "And now you're the latest laughingstock of japan. They're all calling you a fraud and on live T.V."
Hitomi is hit hard as she turn to the host as she said, "L-live? But y-you said it wasn't going to be live! And you saw what I did, I made those flames come out!"
Tajima seems to be tired of its act and wanted to end this T.V show now as he turn around and said, "The human named Tajima died a long time ago. He died giving birth to a phantom... me."
The phantom show its true face before Hitomi as her eyes widen to it, as its whole being surrounded in a dark red mist as it change into his true form of Hellhound.
Everyone freak out as they started to run, but when they try to go out the exit or the way in the studio, the doors were locked as Madoka, Sayaka, and Inoue saw this, as it seem the phantom made plan ahead by trapping everyone in the room where the witch would hatch anytime soon.
"The Phantom it new about the Egg." Inoue said in shock as it soon saw Kyuubey there as well.
"Quickly Madoka, Sayaka one of you make a wish form a contract!" Kyuubey called as Inoue then pounced and knocked his white counterpart down.
"Shiro hurry!" Inoue called out telepathically as if he didn't show up they were all dead.
(With Shiro)
"Oi matte! Where's your ID?" A security guard asked as he stopped Shiro from running in.
"Sorry I don't need one. But you look tired." Shiro said as he grabbed the guards hand before putting the sleep Ring on him and scanning it.
"SLEEP! PLEASE!"
And with that the guard passed out asleep as Shiro ran inside to get to Hitomi.
(Hitomi)
Hellhound grabbed Hitomi by the neck as Inoue and Kyuubey were having a tussle as the two Incubators went at it. Which made Sayaka and Madoka watch helplessly at the whole thing.
"You weren't the one creating those flames. That was me." Hellhound said before diving into Hitomi's shadow as Hitomi quickly lost control of her body with her book on the floor. "Just like this." Hellhound said as Madoka and Sayaka quickly grabbed Kyuubey and Inoue separating them as Sayaka took Inoue.
"Stop!" Hitomi begged but it was too late as soon the flames were released as soon the book was lit aflame as it began to turn to ash as she was in shock.
"Now you see what your precious magic is?" Hellhound taunted before he laughed as soon Hitomi had a small flashback to her younger years as she then saw a purple crack go through it. "Now as the symbol of your hope turns to ash by flames let those ashes extinguish your hope and birth a new Phantom by flames." Hellhound said as he then heard the door slam open allowing people to escape as Shiro ran in.
"Wizard-kun huh? Like the hero always arrives at the last second but in reality the last second is too late." Hellhound taunted as soon they two felt a burst of Magic. "And it seems my new friend has finally hatched." Hellhound said as those still in the room were being dragged into the newborn Witches Labyrinth.
They all found themselves in this techno data like labyrinth as Shiro was shocked as he glared at Hellhound. "You cannot stop us now Yubiwa no Mahoutsukai this Gate shall be your greatest failure." Hellhound taunted as Shiro saw Sayaka was looking straight as Inoue.
(With Sayaka and Inoue)
"Are you absolutely sure of this Sayaka?" Inoue asked as Sayaka nodded.
"Of course I know what my wish is and two people will get saved today." Sayaka said as Inoue nodded.
"Then what wish shall your soul gem shine?" Inoue asked as Sayaka smiled.
"I want Kyousuke to be healed of his past crippling injury." Sayaka said as she wanted to give him his hope back.
"Child's play one healing magic wish coming right up." Inoue said as soon the Soul Gem formed between them.
(Back with Shiro)
"Sorry Phantom but I turn failure of despair into victory of hope." Shiro said as he scanned the driver on ring.
"DRIVER ON! PLEASE!"
Shiro then flipped it starting its jingle all were familiar with.
"SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN! SHABADOOBI TOUCH HENSHIN! SHABADOBI TOUCH HENSHIN!"
"Henshin." Shiro invoked as he flipped the goggles down for his ruby red ring before scanning.
"FLAME! PLEASE! HI! HI! HI-HI-HI!"
Soon Wizard has mmd taken the stage as he glared down the Phantom and held his hand up. "Sa Showtime da!" Shiro said ready to fight.
"And then it's your finale!" Sayaka called as she was now in a blue magical ok girl outfit with a cape and a sword looking very much like a knight or musketeer as Inoue was on her shoulder as the two glared down the Phantom.
The two sides went at each other as the phantom held up its sword and slash at wizard but he dodge it with ease as Sayaka came up parry and slash against its chest as it cry out, as hellhound held his chest as it says, "How can this be? Magical girl are almost powerless against up?"
"I've given her sword a quick coat of silver. I went a little out of the way of doing it, but I would say it's worth it," Inoue said as it sounded a bit winded while on Sayaka's shoulder.
"So prepared to be destroy phantom!" Sayaka said as she held her sword ready as the phantom said, "You little (growl) Meinuuuu!"
As the phantom was about to come at her, wizard flip in the air and strike the phantom with a kick to knock him away from Sayaka as he said, "She not your only enemy phantom."
AS they engage in combat Madoka was beside Hitomi as she held onto her friend and said, "Hitomi-chan, please! Please hang on!"
Hitomi looked up at Madoka and given a soft smile and said, "Madoka-
Madoka held her closely and said, "Save your strength… I promise you'll be alright, just keep holding on!"
Kyuubey look to Madoka and try to get close to get a contract with her and then all of the sudden, Wizard's familiar came out of nowhere and block his path as Inoue telepathic talk to his white counterpart and said, "You will not get close to that girl!"
"Damn you Inoue," Kyuubey said as the fight went on.
(Mami and Homaru)
"EXPLOSION!"
The two girls flew back due to a spell they never seen Shiro use, maybe doesn't even have one, as they got blown back and landed hard onto the ground as their clothing is tarnish and their power grew weak as they didn't bring any grief seed as they thought they would take care of the witch with ease when they got there with Wizard taken care of the phantom, but they didn't plan this.
K.R witch walk up to them as she held her weapon in hand as she said, "Just surrender, you death will be swift and painless. You no longer need to suffer."
Both magical girl stood up as Mami said, "I-I Can hardly move."
"She strong… we can't fi-ght like this," Homaru said as this Witch ring user is powerful, and uses ring spells she and Mami haven't seen before and it seem her skill are somewhat higher than Shiro, as if she have been fighting for a long time now.
Mami and Homaru knew they have to run, if any longer their gem will be on the verge of darken and corrupted.
"We need to run," Homaru said in a low tone as she saw no other way out of this fight other than death as Mami look to her and said, "What about Shiro and Hitomi?"
"Have faith… he powerful… and a chance… one of them have made a contract," Homaru said as she held her side in pain but keep her voice low so the Witch ring user didn't hear them.
The witch herself held her weapon in both hands as she about to push on the thumb of the hand Author on her weapon as she, plan on ending the fight soon.
Mami looked conflicted as she really wanted to help out Shiro when he's up against both a phantom and a witch, but she knew there is no other choice, and she knew one of the girl have been thinking of becoming a magical girl for a wish as Inoue had told her last night… she just hope she made her wish and became a magical girl to help.
Mami took a breath and said, "Alright then… let's give it our best shot."
Homaru nodded as they need to go for the heavy hitters or trump cards, as Mami quickly pull on her ribbon bow tie at her neck and quickly summon forth her big pistol, as Homaru summon forth an RPG.
Witch quickly open the hand on her weapon as she quickly shake the hand as it called out.
"TRIO FINALE!" Mami called out as Homura then followed by firing her own weapon.
"C'MON SHOOT SHAKE HANDS! C'MON SHOOT SHAKE HANDS! PYRO SHOOTING STRIKE: WITCH FINALE!"
Homura roared out as her weapon fired as the three attacks soon collided as Homura couldn't use her time ability to take down Witch but she could use it to get them to escape. When the three attacks collided Homura acted and grabbed Mami before she froze time as Mami was surprised. "Stay close Mami and don't let go otherwise you'll be frozen also." Homura said as Mami nodded as Homura saw this Mami was different she hasn't broken yet from the strain or learning of Kyuubey. But then again Inoue, Momoko, and these Kamen Riders were unknowns to her.
The two made their escape back to the Sekai residence no doubt to lick their wounds since it was closer and the place had a large amount of Grief Seed Stock piles.
Soon time resumed for Witch as she looked to the smoke and saw the two escaped as Witch glared from under her helmet. "Tch." She clicked her tongue as she glared at where those girls escaped to as her familiars showed up once more. "Find them, and any Incubators you come across." Witch ordered as the three Familiars nodded and flew and ran off.
Witch then looked to a nearby TV store and saw the battle between Wizard and Hellhound as he also saw Sayaka there as a Magical Girl as on her shoulder was Inoue and she soon saw three familiars attacking Kyuubey. She undid her Henshin as she glared at Kyuubey specifically as she saw Kyuubey was within her grasp. "Teme." The girl growled as she put her hand on the glass as her hand soon released magic as within her reflection was a Witch as it mirrored her movement as it was only visible to her eyes as with it was a Phantom Pegasus as she then walked away as on the glass was what looked like the after image of a Witch's kiss which then shattered the glass in question as no doubt her anger torts Kyuubey sparked it.
"I'm coming for you Kyuubey." She growled before she pulled out a Connect Ring and scanned it.
"CONNECT! UNLOCK!"
With that she pulled her own Machine Winger but hers seemed more like a feathered design as the jewel on the head was the color of Kamen Rider Witches. AS she grabbed her helmet she drove off chasing after Kyuubey at the TV Station intent on ending his recent body and all Incubators in general.
(Back at the TV Station)
The Kamen Rider and Magical Girl were battling the Phantom and Witch within its Labyrinth as the Camera unfortunately had been catching the entire thing as certain groups may become involved as well. "Sayaka handle the Witch leave Hellhound to me!" Wizard called as Sayaka nodded.
"Wakata!" Sayaka called as she then went after the Witch.
"Careful Sayaka and don't let your guard down no matter what!" Inoue called as Sayaka nodded.
"Got it and thanks." Sayaka said as she went after the Witch in question.
Wizard turn and avoid an attack from Hellhound and did a upper cut kick to the phantom knocking him down for the moment as wizard pull how his connect ring and said, "Better bring out my weapon then."
"CONNECT PLEASE!"
Wizard reach into his magic circle and pull out his weapon in gun mode as he turn his weapon on hellhound that was up and about to attack him again, he fired silver bullets at it as it cry in pain and make it fall back and vanish behind a background of the labyrinth.
Wizard saw a clear path to Madoka and Hitomi as he rush to them and hopefully get to Hitomi in time, but then suddenly from a darken T.V that was a part of the witch labyrinth came out a dark hand as wizard saw it was the phantom.
The phantom came out of the T.V and slash wizard across his chest as he grunt in pain, as his armor protect him, but it doesn't mean it won't hurt.
The phantom enter and exit different T.V that went dark as Wizard try to shoot the Phantom, but shot a camera instead which ended the broadcast .
(Sekai resident)
Mami and Homaru made it to Shiro's and Momoko's home and recharged on the Grief seeds that Momoko gave them and they were recovering and watching the T.V of the fight, as they see what's happening, as they saw Sayaka was now a magical girl and the phantom gotten a power boost it seem.
When the signal went dead as Mami looked at the T.C and said, "This isn't good."
Momoko quickly rush to a room as she went in and grab an object and brought it back as it was a crystal ball on a pillow and said, "Here we can watch the fight on this."
The trio of girls look at the crystal ball as it glow and now showing the fight is still going on as Mami said, "You have incurable things here."
"Thanks my and Oni-chan grandfather own a lot of antique, and when he pass away before I was born, a lot of stuff ended up in storage. Shiro Oni-chan and Inoue-chan found a lot of things that could interact with magic with ease," Momoko said as Mami nodded, they both turn back to the crystal ball and watch as how things play out.
(Wizard)
Wizard aim and misses the phantom, as every time it pops out it attack and he try to counter attack but the phantom is quite sneaking and strong as it seems as wizard said, "How can I hit him?"
"You can't. Within this labyrinth we phantoms gain a huge boost in power which makes us stronger!" The phantom said as he came out and Wizard dodge his attack and fired at him but missed again.
Wizard got up and growl as he was tied of this as it was like a bad game of whack -a- mole and you wouldn't know where that furry bastard would pop up at.
Sayaka had her own set of problems as the witches familiars keep popping up and they were creepy and annoying for her as they look like those wooden puppets but without the strings and they have halos and wings seeming to be like angels but she knows they were far from it.
She slash them with her sword and with the silver coating on it was a big help as they got cut down with ease as Sayaka slash another group away and saw the witch ahead and saw it was a T.V or a computer screen things and it had two dark baby angel things holding it with their wings flapping as it show an image of a girl on the screen.
Sayaka looked around and saw the Phantom and the Witch were working together in a way as she cursed herself for being so quick to jump into the fight. "Sayaka Shiro needs some help hurry." Inoue called as Sayaka saw Shiro was getting attacked at different spots left and right.
"NO I got this!" Shiro called as he then looked around. 'The problem is he won't let me get near Madoka and Hitomi.' Shiro thought as he pointed his weapon to where ever the Phantom would show itself as it was dark in this area... wait dark! When Shiro thought of that he had a flashback to a recent memory as he looked at his Ring Holder chain.
(Quick Flashback)
"I was investigating the location of another Witch being defeated by us, the Cake Witch left a Grief Seed yes but it seems it also left behind a Magic Ring, the problem with that is that I couldn't reach it in time before it was intercepted. Though I went to a different location and found another Ring as well." Inoue said moving his paw to show said Ring was now under it.
"What's this one?" Shiro asked as he looked at the Ring in question.
"It's a Ring that will light your way when things get to dark." Inoue said as Shiro looked confused. "Sorry I was attempting to be poetic and cryptic with that Rings power while also stating the obvious ability." Inoue said as Shiro nodded.
"So it's a powerful light bulb then." Shiro said as Inoue nodded.
(Flashback over)
Shiro took out the new Ring and put it on his left hand and flipped the Hand Author twice to spell ready to use it.
"LIGHT! PLEASE!"
Wizard then raised his hand upward creating a large dome of light which cast away the darkness as the entire Labyrinth was filled with light.
Sayaka saw this and smiled as she slashed behind her hitting the Witch. "Got you!" Sayaka called as she smiled at her victory.
"What was that?!" Hellhound asked in shock to this.
"A light to guide through the darkness." Wizard said as he converted his weapon to its sword form.
"ONORE!" Hellhound roared in fury that his Ace was rendered useless as he charged forward as the two began a sword fight. The two slashed and attacked at each other as they both proved to be excellent sword wielders in combat. Wizard jumped and flipped to avoid certain attacks as he slashed at Hellhound intent on taking him down and saving Hitomi from becoming a Phantom.
Sayaka saw the witch was effect by the light along with the two black angels holding it, greatly as it seem resting in a dark area with single lights of T.V screen then suddenly someone turn on the light, it can hurt anyone eyes.
Sayaka took this opportunity as she went at the witch hard and fast as she slash at the two angels hoping they would drop their leader.
Wizard give a hard kick to hellhound making fly back into the witches that were coming to help its master as Sayaka is kicking its ass now and only a matter of time.
With wizard after that kick he quickly change styles to a blue sapphire ring as he replace the fire style with it, flip his driver a few time on the transformation side and scan the ring quickly as it called it out.
"WATER PLEASE! SUI-SUI! SUI-SUI!"
Wizard points above him as a magic circle with a blue and ripple energy that seem to be water came down upon wizard and change his form from red to blue with an added splash effect.
As Hellhound try to get back up and igniting its fire in its hand while killing a few of the witches familiars as it didn't care anymore and wanted to destroy wizard now, but then wizard flip his belt and pull out a new ring.
"LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO! LUPACCHI MAGIC, TOUCH TO GO!"
As hellhound shot forth its hellish flames wizard scan the ring as it called out saying, "DEFEND PELASE!"
A magic circle made of water came before wizard and block the stream of flame that came at him and douse them fast and then suddenly wizard shove the magic circle forward at the phantom, as it hit him and douse all of its flames and made him all washed up. (Pun)
Hellhound blinded by anger as it charged at wizard, as he pull out his weapon it sword mode still and counter attack the phantom with wizard movement was like water being able to bend, flexible, and overcome anything as hellhound could not get a hit in at all.
Wizard thrust his sword at the phantom's chest and made him fall back hard, no matter what power boosted it got from the witch's labyrinth it wasn't enough at all and it was soon about to end.
Sayaka slash away the two black angels with a bust of power from within, flew high in the air before she throw her sword down at the witch as it came down like a meteor with sword stabbing it all the way through, killing it.
"That's a wrap." Sayaka said as she walked away and tried to be showy as she made her cape flutter with a flick of her arm as she walked away a bit as soon the Labyrinth vanished cutting off Hellhounds power boost.
"What?!" Hellhound called in shock as he didn't expect this to happen, then again he didn't expect a new Magical Girl to appear either.
"That a girl Sayaka." Wizard said as he saw Sayaka beat the Witch and got a Grief Seed to show for it.
"Onore Yubiwa no Mahoustukai!" Hellhound roared as Wizard glared at the Phantom as he was ready to finish it off as when the Phantom got up he roared at Wizard who held his weapon at the ready. Hellhound charged at Wizard only for Wizard to slash at Hellhound causing him to be knocked back hard as Hellhound was on the floor.
"Finale." Wizard said as he then pulled the thumb activating the Chant.
"C'MON SLASH SHAKE HANDS! C'MON SLASH SHAKE HANDS!"
Wizard then shook the hand activating it as his face held a smirk under the helmet as he saw Hellhound get up.
"WATER! SLASH STRIKE! SUI-SUI-SUI! SUI-SUI-SUI!"
As it did the chant water magic formed around the blade as Hellhound saw this and when he did it was too late as Wizard sent a slash at Hellhound cutting straight through him as when it did this Shiro smirked as he saw Hellhound drop down and drop his sword before he went up in a burst of water like an explosion as Shiro smirked.
"Hitomi-chan!" Madoka called as Shiro ran over to Hitomi and saw she was forming purple cracks on her body.
"Hitomi!" Shiro called as he switched back to Flame Style.
"S-sempai..." Hitomi said as she looked heartbroken at what had happened even if the Phantom was defeated. "I should have listened to you." Hitomi said as she looked sadly at Shiro. "Now... it's all over, I got humiliated on National Television my parents... they must think I'm pathetic." Hitomi said as Shiro then took her hand.
"No." Shiro said as he looked to Hitomi. "It's not over Hitomi not by a long shot!" Shiro called as he held Hitomi's hand. "Your parents they love you no matter what you do they just want the best for you by your heart." Shiro said as he then took out an Engage Ring. "Let me be your hope so you can see your parents again and tell them everything." Shiro said as Hitomi looked at this.
"Please." Hitomi begged as Shiro then took the ring and put it on Hitomi's right middle finger before flipping the Hand Author and scanning the ring.
"ENGAGE! PLEASE!" The Belt invoked as Shiro's way into Hitomi's underworld was made clear as he then entered said underworld.
"Hurry up Shiro!" Sayaka said as she was ready in case Shiro failed as she also had her new Grief Egg from the Witch.
(Hitomi's Underworld)
Shiro flew through the tunnel to Hitomi's Underworld as his destination was the source of her hope and to protect that hope by defeating her Phantom. Soon Shiro reached the last ring and in turn arrived at the Underworld as he looked and found himself in a library and saw Hitomi as an elementary school child or maybe a preschool child as she was reading the book that got turned to ashes as she kept saying the same phrase trying to imitate the Magical Girl on it.
"Hitomi." Shiro said surprised this was Hitomi in her childhood. Soon the scene gained a large purple crack in it as from it a large Cyclops came out and roared out as it held a club in its hands. Shiro of course dodged the Phantoms attack as he rolled out of the way. "I need more room to fight." Shiro said as he ran outside the Library to get more maneuvering room.
(Outside)
Shiro rolled out as the Ogre followed as it smashed whatever it came across creating more purple cracks in the Underworld as Shiro saw this was getting bad. "Ok then big for big!" Shiro called as he took out his Dragon Rise Ring and put it on before flipping the Hand author twice and scanning the Ring.
"LUPPATCHI MAGIC TOUCH TO DO! DRAGON RISE PLEASE!"
Soon Dragon appeared as Shiro smirked but Dragon being the royal asshole he was attacked the Cyclops for a bit before flying off creating more cracks along the way. "Dammit Dragon Submit to me!" Shiro called as he switched his Dragon Rise Ring for his Connect Ring before flipping the Hand Author Twice and scanning the ring.
"CONNECT PLEASE!"
Soon Shiro pulled on the Machine Wizard and in turn drove after Dragon to get him under control.
(With Dragon)
Dragon flew around the Ogre as it breath fire upon it and made more cracks within the underworld, and then it suddenly gets hit away by the ogre's club it had in its hand, sending the dragon down to the street level of the underworld where wizard is riding down on.
As wizard saw dragon coming his way he curve his machine sideways before it pops in the air and open up as it attack itself to dragon making it summit to Wizard once more.
Spinning out of control for the moment until wizard stable their flight and flew up at Ogre and hitting a few times, as wizard rev the throttle as he made dragon breath fire down at the phantom, but it seem to be stronger than it looks as it tank Dragon's fire breath and slashes and hit from its claws, it just smack them down like they were a fly.
Ogre came down after them as they fell and hit the ground hard, wizard recover quickly as he could as he saw Ogre is coming at them as he shifted his weight over to make dragon move with him, dodge the attack and counter.
Grabbing and throw ogre up in the air before spit a fire ball into the phantoms guts sending it back far and have it lying on its back tired out.
Dragon raise into the air as wizard flip the switch on his driver twice on the spell casting side as he prepares a kick strike ring to finish this battle and save Hitomi from her inner phantom as the jingle started to sing.
"LUPPATCHI MAGIC TOUCH TO DO! LUPPATCHI MAGIC TOUCH TO DO! LUPPATCHI MAGIC TOUCH TO DO!"
Wizard scan the ring as it called out, "VERY NICE! KICK STRIKE! FABULOS!"
Wizard and dragon did their thing as wizard jump up the air as his rider machine follows, as dragon started to transform into its giant claw form, as the front wheel attach itself to the huge Dragon claw, as wizard came down on it as flame came forth from wizard and the bike, with fire engulf the dragon claw, and soon enough an image to wizard it shown its his blazing goodness, as he came down on the Ogre phantom, and strike it with the kick strike.
A Magic circle appeared as Ogre exploded and from the flames, Wizard came jumping out not hurt from explosion that just happened and landed in the middle of the underworld as he said, "Phew!"
Wizard was about to exit the Underworld until his eyes lay on something as he look down and pick up the object he saw as he sees the book Hitomi had as it reads, 'The Adventure of magical girl.'
Wizard had a thought and theory about things, as from underworlds and witch labyrinth as object are created with the memories and the magic of a gate or a witch and which they become solid object, as wizard knew he can bring object into underworlds to help fight off inner phantoms.
With witches they create familiars with their power but they can exit the labyrinth at will and fulfills the witches task it ask it to do along with its own to become a witch of a its own, meaning it was mostly independent and had no magic keeping it supplied as it seem to live without it, so if familiar can come out and become real… what does it say about object within underworlds?
(Real life)
Madoka watch as Hitomi crack glow gold before vanishing and coming out of the ring was a magic circle, as wizard came through and came back into the real world as Madoka, Sayaka, Inoue, and as well Kyuubey saw wizard was back… and have something in his hands.
As wizard undo his form, and turn around as Madoka look up at Shiro and asked, "Is… it over?"
Shiro smile and said, "She's no longer a gate."
Sayaka took a breath and said, "Thank goodness." As she sounded very worry and now very happy as their friend is out of danger and no longer have to worry of her becoming a phantom.
Shiro walked over to Hitomi and smiled at her as he held the book in question. "Let's go home ok." Shiro said as Madoka and Sayaka nodded.
"Yeah before any authorities arrive." Inoue quipped in as he jumped to Sayaka's shoulder.
"Senpai." Hitomi said weakly as she smiled to Shiro. "Arigatou." She smiled as Shiro nodded and placed the book in her arms.
"Hitomi-san... its ok to have dreams like yours it doesn't make you any less of who or what you are." Shiro said as he smiled to the middle school student. "Now let's get you someplace safe." Shiro said as he picked up Hitomi bridal style and took his leave.
(Scene Break Sekai Residence)
"What happened to you guys?" Shiro asked as he looked over to Homura and Mami as he sat on a sofa as Homura glared.
"Hmm I don't know why not ask your, Ring Bearing, friend!?" Homura yelled as after the whole thing with Kamen Rider Witch needless to say she wasn't very happy once she and Mami got healed.
"Say what now?" Sayaka asked shocked as Inoue looked.
"There's another Ring Magic user?" Inoue asked as he looked to them.
"Yeah she talked about 'setting our souls,' free from our Soul Gems whatever that meant but apparently she doesn't like Kyuubey." Mami said as Kyuubey was kept outside to prevent him from learning of this the Sekai sibling's home.
"This is troubling then." Momoko said as she looked to everyone.
"But maybe we can try and talk to her I mean if she uses Ring Magic she must also be able to fight Phantoms right?" Madoka said as Shiro looked.
"I don't know... but I think we should be careful around her, she might only be doing it for her own gain or something." Shiro said as he looked at his donuts he picked up from Hungry.
"Anyway this also reminds me..." Sayaka began as she then looked behind Shiro as behind him was Hitomi giving him a shoulder rub. "What is she doing here?" Sayaka asked as she looked to Hitomi.
"Well since I cane exactly become a Magical Girl like most of you are I figured I might as well become the Wizards Assistant." Hitomi said as Inoue looked to her.
"Well she's not hurting anyone well except maybe me." Inoue said as Hitomi looked.
"How so?" Hitomi asked as everyone was surprised still that she can now see Inoue.
"Well you brought up more information on Gates for me to further research since apparently after Shiro destroyed your Phantom you were now able to perceive me but lack any potential to become a Magical Girl from what I can sense, you're a peculiar case for me which may turn you into a target." Inoue said as he looked around. "For now I think its best she stays close that way we can see what may have caused this as see if we can control it in a safe and none harmful way or to see if it's only a temporary side effect." Inoue said as Momoko saw through it.
"So basically wait and see what happens." Momoko said as Inoue looked.
"Exactly." Inoue said as that made sense for everyone to simply wait and see if this progresses or if Hitomi eventually loses the ability to see Inoue and Kyuubey.
(Scene Break that Night Electrical Tower)
Kyuubey was looking out to the city as next to him was a girl with red hair and normal wear sitting there while she ate a snack before Kyuubey turned to her while sighing. "I didn't expect you to show up." Kyuubey admitted as he looked to the red head in a blue hoodie and black boots with jean short shorts.
"I came all this way because some crazy shit was going on down here, add the fact there are other magic users now and most of all there's a new magical girl in Mami's turf." The girl said before she took a bite out of her food. "So, why don't you tell me something? What's the deal, huh? This isn't anything like what you said since there's a bunch of Kaijin walking around causing trouble." The girl said as she glared at Kyuubey with topaz orange eyes.
"Sorry but things have been going into chaos for a bit here I had to call you in from your district." Kyuubey said as it wasn't a total lie on his part. "Plus we're also dealing with a rogue who's made three contracts already and is turning Mami against what we fight for. The third girl has already made a contract a little while ago if you were watching TV I think you may have saw her." Kyuubey said as the girl looked.
"What the hell? The pisses me off, why would Mami go and turn traitor on us. I mean, couldn't live with myself if I just let prime territory get taken over by a rookie, a traitor and a bunch of unknowns. That'd be crazy." The girl said as she looked to Kyuubey.
"What are you going to do, Kyoko?" Kyuubey asked as she then smirked.
"Simple I'll just," Kyoko began as she then looked to Kyuubey. "Put down the traitors, unknowns, and the dumb ass rookie out of commission. Permanently." Kyoko said as she then made a big toothy grin on her face.
(Scene Break Kibou Onsen Resort)
Kamen Rider Witch in her civilian form was at the Hot Springs as the high school student was in one of said hot springs relaxing as she glared at the moon while sitting against a rock. She was alone in the ladies side so she was ok with this. As the Steam caressed her body she glared at the full moon before scoffing to herself as she took out her Witch Pyro Style Ring as it was a lot like a soul gem only minus the soul. Nearby it were two other rings, one was similar to the Dragon Rise Ring but instead of a Dragon it had a Pegasus while the other had the image of what looked like a Witch in the form similar to the Dragon Rise Ring as well.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill all of you Kyuubey if it's the last thing I do." She growled quietly as she knew Kyuubey was in this city and she'll hunt down every Incubator and Witch till there are literally none left to support the Incubators precious Law of Cycles.
