Chapter 3: It Has to do With Your Wish
The day after Sayaka became a magical girl, Madoka and Sayaka talked to Hitomi. She was fine, just assumed she was under sort of mass sleepwalking. As they did, Gobey went to talk to Homura.
"Hey! I want to talk during lunch!" said Gobey.
Homura stared at the drunken incubator and nodded.
"All right! See you later!" said Gobey.
Homura sighed at the drunken incubator.
"What could it want to talk about?" she thought.
Sometime during lunch.
"We can't let the asshole contract with Madoka." Said Gobey.
"What?" asked Homura in shock.
"You're so used to the asshole that you can't believe how responsible I am…" said Gobey, who sighed mumbled to himself, "Man I need a drink."
Homura blinked.
"Why are you like this?" asked Homura.
"The witches den changed me." Said Gobey, "I was just another body until that place formed… It drove me insane… and an insane version of my species means I gain emotions. I feel regret, fear, sadness… which is why I know that that Madoka must never contract."
"The world will end if she does." Said Homura.
"We can't have that." Said Gobey, "Earth is the only planted with booze."
Homura couldn't help but to chuckle.
"Got you to laugh." Laughed Gobey, "Sabs is going opt help with contract blocking the bastard."
"Wait?" said Homura.
"The first thing Sabs ever saw was a girl falling into despair." Said Gobey.
Homura eyes widened.
"Yep! She knows becoming a magical girl is a bad idea…" said Gobey, "So if you ever need help when I'm not sober, talk to her. I think she's already making her move on that front."
"Thank you." Said Homura.
She watched Gobey scampered off, she still wasn't sure if she could completely trust him but she would give him a chance.
After school, they saw that Sabrina and Angelina were waiting outside for them.
"Where's the others?" asked Mami.
"Well I don't know if we're going hunting right away today so the others said to call them." Said Sabrina.
"You weren't here all day?" asked Madoka.
"Nope… we were at an arcade until like half an hour ago." Said Angelina.
"You want to go out to eat?" asked Mami.
"Sure!" said Angelina, "Can we go to McDonald's?"
"There's not a happy meal toy you want… is there?" asked Sabrina.
"No I just heard there's really weird stuff on the menu." Said Angelina, "I also want to go to Denny's… that's even weirder."
Sabrina blinked completely unaware that the Japanese Denny's menu indeed was nothing like the American one.
The three Japanese girls and two American girls (along with two Incubators) headed to the nearest McDonalds.
Of course they talked about things.
"So Sayaka are you nervous, I mean today is the first day you're hunting witches." Said Angelina.
"I'll be fine." Said Sayaka, "Also we won't be hunting witches until this evening."
Really, why?" asked Sabrina.
"Oh there's going to be a celebration at the hospital." Said Sayaka.
"Oh that's right… you made a wish to heal someone." Said Sabrina.
"Okay… where do you want to meet then." Said Angelina.
They began to make plans.
"You don't mind waiting?" asked Sayaka.
"It's okay." Said Angelina, "Besides I want to catch that Glaceon plushy!"
The three stared at her.
"Oh that's right… different name… Glacia plushy." Said Angelina.
"You can just see if they have them at the Pokémon Center." Said Sabrina.
"You don't get it! I have to win at least one prize from a UFO catcher on this trip!" said Angelina.
"I see…" said Sabrina, "Well I don't think I'll join you…"
"Fine." Pouted Angelina.
Madoka looked at Sabrina who nodded.
Mami sighed, not sure what to do until they had to meet up again.
Mami started walking home alone when she saw Diana laying on a bench.
"(Hi Mami.)" said Diana.
"Oh… (Hello)." Said Mami knowing some English.
"(This is hard without Gobey or Angelina.)" said Diana, "(Wait… I think there's an app for that…)"
She looked on her phone and found a translation app. Mami realized she was doing and sat next to her.
"(Okay… test, test…)" said Diana.
The app translated what she said.
"Is it working?" asked Mami.
Which it managed to translate for her.
Dianna smiled then decided to have some fun.
"(This hover craft is full of eels, happy to you log pony)" said Diana.
Mami stared at the phone.
"It doesn't work…" sighed Mami.
That was when Diana was laughing.
"(Sorry couldn't help myself)" laughed Diana.
Mami giggled.
The tow had a pleasant conversation with a few hiccups along the way after the phone could translate everything.
Sometime later it was time for a Witch Hunt.
"Good we don't have to use the app." Said Diana.
"It was fun to use." Said Mami.
"Well let's go search." Said Sayaka.
They noticed that Sabrina and Madoka were there.
"We wanted to tag along." Said Sabrina.
"Oh I can understand why." Said Kyubey.
"Ignore him." Said Sabrina.
The large group all gathered together, after all it was a good idea for them to get used to work as a team.
They found a rather weak signal.
"It must be a familiar." Said Mami.
"Oh wow… haven't fought one in more than a year." Said Dianna.
"Oh wow… I never got a chance to see one on it's own." Said Angelina.
"Really?" asked Sayaka.
"Since the Witches Den has well so many witches it's extremely rare we find a familiar running on it's own." Said Diana.
"Since they have a weaker signal we can't get to them in time and they add to the Witches Den." Said Lenora.
The Japanese girls cringed when they heard this.
"San Mateo get them sometimes, since it's on the edge…" said Rosemary trying to defuse the situation.
They entered the familiar's labyrinth (which wasn't very big).
"All right Sayaka you can handle it." Said Mami.
Sayaka transformed and went to handle the familiar. She tossed swords at the familiar and almost killed it.
However before kill it someone stopped her with a spear, tossing away the sword she threw.
"No…" whispered Mami.
The familiar began to get away. That was when they noticed Kyoko. Dressed in her magical girl costume.
It concocted of a strange red top that sleeveless and had a turtleneck, and was open at the bottom front, there was a pink, red and black skirt under her top. She had black Knee high socks and red boots, she also had grey and black detached sleeves. Her soul gem was an oval on her chest which could be seen on an opening at her top.
"Seriously? You're teaching them about this?" asked Kyoko.
Mami glared at her.
"What are you doing here?" asked Mami.
"Really?" asked Kyoko, "Is that how you treat an old friend…"
"This isn't your territory." Said Mami stepping forward.
"You could say the same to the Americans." Said Kyoko.
"Oh I get… you want to fight us." Said Lenora with a smirk, "You heard we in town and think the witch's den is fake."
Kyoko smirked.
"Oh man. You're more cocky the than the Daily City girls." Laughed Lenora, "I'll handle her."
"What?" asked Mami.
Lenora pushed back Mami using a barrier then created a solid barrier between them and the others.
"You and to take me alone? Are you sure that's a good idea?" asked Kyoko.
"Oh please scared?" asked Lenora who then transformed to her magical girl form.
Lenora began to laugh as she created her daggers.
"This is going to be fun." She said.
On the other side Sabrina placed her ear on the barrier.
"Sound proof." Said Sabrina.
"Why that little…" muttered Rosemary.
"If you want to swear in Spanish I won't translate it." Said Gobey.
"No thanks. "said Rosemary.
She began to run the other way.
"Where are you going?" asked Sayaka.
"No good can come from this fight." Said Rosemary.
She held out her hand and Sabrina knew it meant toss her a grief seed. She then ran to find the other entrance to the alley.
On the other side of the barrier, the fight was going.
That was when Lenora knew it was time.
"Tell me… what was your name again?" asked Lenora.
"Why should I tell you?" asked Kyoko.
"I see." Said Lenora, "Anyway you seem to know Mami very well… have a little falling out?"
"Shut up!" yelled Kyoko.
Kyoko tired to stab her but she quickly created a barrier.
"Oh I see, you're sore about it…" said Lenora, "Did something happen between you… did she turn against you?"
"It was nothing like that"! yelled Kyoko.
"Oh then what could it be… oh I get it you were dragging her down…" said Lenora, "After all used my barrier many times during this fight but I haven't seen you once use your magic…"
Kyoko began to sweat.
"Oh my looks like I hit it right on the mark." Said Lenora with a chuckle.
On the other side of the barrier.
"So who is she?" asked Diana.
"She's a former friend." Said Mami, "Her wish went wrong and after that… she never spoke again."
"Is something wrong?" asked Madoka noticing Sabrina looking worried.
"I'm just worried." Said Sabrina.
"Oh about Lenora." Said Madoka.
"No… I'm worried about that other girl." Said Sabrina.
Madoka's eyes widened.
Back with the fight.
"Oh but how could you lose your powers?" asked Lenora, "Something very terrible must have happened…"
"Will you shut up!" yelled Kyoko.
"Let me guess…" said Lenora, "It has to do with your wish…"
Kyoko once again stabbed at the barrier.
"I'm going to guess you were a selfless wisher … and whoever you wish for died!" said Lenora.
"WHY WON'T YOU SHUT UP!" yelled Kyoko crying stabbing at Lenora's barrier this time it broke.
Kyoko glared at her.
"Oh I get it now… you're an orphan and your parents died because of your wish!" said Lenora with a sadistic smile.
But what's more could be said suddenly they were blinded.
When the light died down, Rosemary was between the two.
"Enough! You already won!" yelled Rosemary.
"Oh… how did you get here?" asked Lenora.
Rosemary pointed to the other entrances to the alley.
"Whatever…" muttered Lenora.
Kyoko fell to the ground crying.
"Here…" Said Rosemary tossing the Grief Seed at Kyoko.
"Why…" said Kyoko.
"Your Soul Gem is really dark." Said Rosemary, "And I've promised myself I'd give a Grief Seed to any magical girl's who's soul gem is that dark."
Kyoko noticed how dark her Soul Gem had become and was shocked.
"How… "said Kyoko.
"Never listen to what she has to say… Lenora has a lesser ability to darken the Soul Gems of other Magical Girls…" said Rosemary.
Kyoko blinked away the tears.
"Oh… you have to take away the fun out everything." Said Lenora.
Kyoko got up and gritted her teeth.
"Okay but I'm going to owe one." Muttered Kyoko.
"Actually part of the deal is that all magical girls get to share in our bounty if need be." Said Rosemary.
Kyoko was quiet.
"Lenora would be kind to take down the sound proof barrier?" asked Rosemary.
"Fine… the fight's over." Said Lenora removing the barrier.
Kyoko wiped away any tears she had so not to shadow Mami .
"Since what her name came all this way, I think should help us." Said Rosemary.
"Help?" asked Kyoko.
"You seriously don't know, do you?" asked Rosemary, "Walpurgis Night is coming."
Kapok froze when she said…
No one was sure what was going opt happen next…
Next Time: Something happens to the boy Sayaka healed. What was it? Meanwhile Kyoko makes her decision about Walpurgis Night. Will she help the rag tag group? Fond out next time!
