Chelsea's POV
I open my eyes to Fern sitting next to me with a worried look on her face. "Chelsea? Are you awake?" She asked. "Yeah…" I croaked, "How long were we out?" Fern gestured towards Mami's wall clock. We had been out for four hours! I must have looked surprised, because Fern chuckled at my expression. "I woke up about fifteen minutes ago…but look!" She gestured towards my hand, which lay open on the floor.
I gasped. A brilliant, glowing, pearl-white soul gem lay in my hand, glimmering in the moonlight. Fern held up hers, which was green like trees or a forest, and it was also very...shiny. She smiled. "So, now we gotta fight witches…" I nodded. "Yeah."
Just then, the door creaked open. "Hey guys, I'm home! Sorry, I was hunting witches…" Mami called. Her tinkling voice echoed around the hallway before a memory hit me.
We were sitting at the dining table, eating sweets. Don't make a contract with Kyubey, promise me that. The words echoed inside my head. Guilt and horror crashed down on me. What have we done? Why did we need a soul gem? Because it was SHINY?
I quickly hid my soul gem, and elbowed Fern, and she shoved it down her shirt just as Mami opened the door. "Welcome home!" I said cheerily. Fern laughed nervously, but she obviously tried to make it seem casual.
"Yeah, heh, welcome, ehehe, home. Ehe. He. Ahem." Mami tossed us our uniforms. "We have school tomorrow, which is when your classes REALLY start. Last time was just a tour of the school and getting around." We nodded.
-*time skip*- (Luna: 'TIL THE VERY NEXT DAY BUM BUM BUM BUM DA DA BUM AND THE DUCK WALKED UP TO THE LEMONADE-*BAM* Katrina: NO *holding up hammer*
The teacher gestured towards us. "Today we have two new students. Why don't you introduce yourselves?" Fern lazily waved. "Hi, I'm Fern Stone. I'm from Canada." I don't understand how she can just speak in front of everybody like that.
The teacher nodded at me. "Oh! Uhm, er, my name's Chelsea Greene...and, uh, I'm also transferring from Canada...um?" I gave a little wave to the class and ducked my head, blushing madly.
Before taking our seats, we scanned the classroom, expecting to see a certain blue haired girl accompanied with a pink haired one. If the Fates were happy today, a certain black haired girl too.
It seemed as though Homura was already there. We took our seats, which happened to be next to each other. The day progressed normally, other than other students bombarding us with questions. Homura kept her distance, as I expected her to. Of course, the real action didn't happen until after school.
Mami and Fern and I were walking past a music store, when Mami's (and ours) soul gems shone brightly. I let out a muffled gasp and dug my elbow into Fern's rib, making sure that her soul gem was well hidden away.
"A witch!" Mami cried, and we raced into the store. Following the trail of magic, it led us up to the second floor renovations, only, it wasn't quite a renovation site; it was Gertrud's labyrinth.
Mami quickly transformed, and we rushed off, finding a scared looking Madoka and a confused Sayaka, as well as a bloody Kyubey (BEEP KYUBEY). "Hold on, let me finish this up." Mami said, and fired musket after musket. Getrud, the green blob thing roared in rage as Mami shot it's minions and the red couch it was resting on.
It spread its colorful butterfly wings and took to the air, evading Mami's bullets. After a while of playing dodge the bullets, Getrud had finally caught a hold of Mami's feet with it's black vines.
In the distance, I heard Madoka scream and Sayaka shout in alarm. I saw Mami's mouth move before she whipped out a familiar and well known yellow ribbon. "TIRO…"
Fern's POV
"...FINALE!" The trigger pulled back and a huge bullet soared towards the witch. I stood there, amazed as Getrude was destroyed in a matter of seconds. Mami's fighting was already epic in anime but it was 100 times better in real life! Suck on that fangirls/fanboys!
Snapping out of my fangirl moment, I rushed over to Madoka and Sayaka, making sure that they were okay. Chelsea ran after me, calling for me to be careful. The witches labyrinth was disappearing, leaving us where we first got sucked in.
"Are you alright?" I asked, the question aimed at Madoka and Sayaka. I ignored Kyubey. I knew I was acting cold-hearted but what can you say? After watching Kyubey acting so calm and cool after all those girls turning into witches, it makes you wanna pummel him to the ground, even if he doesn't have emotions….oh well! That'll just mean Kyubey doesn't feel vengeance either! You'll be perfectly fine….
"OW!" I cried out in alarm Chelsea elbowed me in the ribs...again! Why must she hurt me like this? "Come on you baka! There leaving us behind! We haven't even introduced ourselves yet!" She hissed as she ran to catch up. I sighed and gave myself a mental slap before forcing my legs to move and catch up with the others.
As I ran, I replayed that beautiful scene of Mami fighting Getrud. It was all so epic...I wish I could fight like that...I reopened my eyes and patted the small lump in my pocket. I was a magical girl and I believe that with some training, I could do all those amazing things too.
Magical girl….magical girl….fighting witches….magic….soul gem…..witch…..purify….GRIEF SEED! My steps faltered and I slowed to a stop as all those thoughts mashed up to one truly horrifying conclusion. If we were magical girls, we HAD to fight witches….right? After all, we hadn't included NOT fighting witches in our contract. At least we couldn't become witches...but what about Mami?
Chelsea looked over her shoulder, red hair streaming out behind her, and stopped, walking back towards me. "What's wrong?" She asked, patting my shoulder.
"Chelsea…." I croaked, throat suddenly dry, "we still have to fight witches...right? We didn't promise Kyubey that we wouldn't fight witches...and we DO want our wish to come true...right?" I winced, ready to hear Chelsea's shout of horror or even worse, feel her sharp pointy nails digging into my arm in fright. (She had a habit of doing that when she was scared).
None of those things happened. Chelsea just tossed her head back, facing the horizon and responded, "It'll be alright Fern...we just have to live through this and fight the witches at night...when Mami is asleep. Nobody has to know. It WAS our fault anyways...and I don't want anybody to get hurt."
"Besides…" Chelsea turned towards me, "we always wanted to learn how to fight like an anime superhero….right?" She winked at me. I grinned like a mad man, remembering the reason why I took martial arts class. It was because I'd always wanted to fight like a real anime superhero. Chelsea quit after the first day, she'd come back sporting an interesting collection of colorful bruises, some cuts, and a split lip.
We hugged, relieved that we had each other to comfort during sad times and ran to catch up with the rest of the girls.
-*time skip*-
Even though we were the 'slow pokes' to begin with, we arrived at Mami's apartment first. (DON'T JUDGE THE POWER OF FANGIRLS...ESPECIALLY HUNGRY ONES...YESH I WANT DANGO…)
We pulled out all the snacks from Mami's cu boards and set them out on the glass table near the window, the exact same one we saw Mami and the girls first talk about magical girls in the anime. The others soon joined in, helping us prepare a lovely table of Japanese sweets.
Mami started talking, informing Madoka and Sayaka about magical girls and witches. Chelsea, being the bookworm type immediately turned in to the conversation, adding things that Mami missed. While they were all engrossed in their conversation, I took my sweet time gorging myself on the sweets, stuffing myself.
Finally, after tasting about all the sweets on the table, I settled to making pictures with my food. I took a few blocks of sliced cheese and made a slightly deformed picture of Charlotte in her 'real' form, the one with multi-colored eyes and snakey body looking down on a cheese and pomegranate Mami. Now for the finishing touch….
I raised my silver fork and brought it down on the plate, cutting off Mami's cheese head. After that task was done, I speared the pomegranate representing her soul gem on top of Mami's equally cheesy hat and ate it, viciously chewing it. As an after thought, I scooped up Mami's blocky cheese head and ate that too.
As I chewed, I thought about Mami's death. Now that we were in the anime...did that mean that we had the power to save Mami? Should we even save Mami? Mami's death was sad and she was one of my favourite characters but for some reason, I feel reluctant to save her. I mean, Mami's death had spurred the other characters into taking action.
If Madoka didn't make that wish in episode 12 than witches would continue to be born! THE WHOLE STORY WOULD BE RUINED! Who cares if the story is ruined? Won't you win? You can stop this depressing story from ever even happening. A little voice called to me in the back of my mind. I couldn't help but think, what if it was better if we changed the plot? I decided to ask Ukato and Chelsea later on.
From the corner of my eye, I see Sayaka whom was sitting beside me turn her head side ways a little to give me a curious and scared look. I smiled back at her, swallowing the rest of my beautiful picture.
"OW!" I screamed once again as the cursed elbow dug itself into my ribs….AGAIN! "Your name…" I heard Chelsea hiss under her breathe as she glared at me. "Oh..uh...hi! My name is Fern and I like...um...food?" I responded, waving at the table rather than the people. Chelsea, losing her cool serious attitude burst out laughing. Mami and Madoka looked confused while Sayaka looked weirded out by all the weirdness that was going on.
"Hmmm...it was nice talking to you Madoka, Sayaka, but it's getting late, you two should hurry home. " Mami stood up, stretching her legs as she looked up at the darkening sky. "Oh yes, my parents will be worried about me." Madoka stood up to, still holding on to that cursed Kyubey. "Same here! THANKS FOR HAVING US!" Sayaka bounded up, stretching her limbs like an athlete would before starting a race.
They all said their good bye's as they grabbed their coats and headed out the door. After the door was closed, Mami's posture slumped as she tiredly rubbed her eyes. "I don't know about you guys but boy, I'm beat! I think I'll go to sleep now...don't stay up to late….we have school tomorrow….Good night!" She drunkenly stood and stumbled her way across the hallway, to her own room. Kyubey had stayed and was now following her, leaving the two of us alone in the darkening apartment.
We heard the bathroom door slam shut and the groan of the mattress as Mami slid in. The lamp finally clicked shut and gentle snores filled the room. I looked over at Chelsea, a Chesire cat grin spreading over my face. Chelsea was smiling too, mirroring my smile. The moonlight danced across our faces as we let out small evil chuckles. Yes, the night might be a time for resting but for us, it was time to start work.
It was time to start our first night hunting for witches.
Chelsea's POV
I smiled as a tossed all our supplies in a small green bag propped up on the counter. Water...snacks...chainsaw….soul gem….okay we're all set to go! I nodded to myself as I zipped the backpack up and ran off to find Fern.
Fern was already waiting for me by the door, back pack slung over her shoulder and tapping her foot impatiently. As soon as she saw me, her green eyes lit up and she started to bounce up and down on the balls of her feet, words just waiting to explode from her mouth. "While you were gone I've already managed to find a witch to hunt." She babbled, clinging on to me. She squealed as soon she said it and started to spin around like a school girl finding out her crush liked her back.
I looked at her, shocked. How could she find a witch so easily? But before I had time to actually think about it, Fern had already dragged me down the stairs and out the door to the appartement.
The stars and moon was already out, greeting us as we emerged from the building. The grass muffled our footsteps as we ran through the field to the bike place we met Getrude in. Thats when it hit me, Fern hadn't found another witch to hunt JUST NOW, it'd had been earlier, when she was lagging behind the others.
She must have sensed the witch's presence with her soul gem and just remembered now. I carefully wriggled my hand free from Fern's iron grip and ran alongside her, just as eager to defeat our first witch.
When we got there, Fern grabbed my hand, leading my to a secluded alleyway behind the store. As soon as we stepped into the alleyway, I felt it. A strong pulse of magic. Our soul gems must have sensed it too as they started to glow, casting white and green shadows dancing on the dark walls.
Fern stepped forward, clutching her soul gem tightly in her hand. I knew that she was ready but I wasn't so sure about me; after all Fern did have more experience in fighting and she was already getting the hang of this 'summoning' things. I'd never even used my new powers yet! I knew what I had to do.
I ran forward and caught Fern's arm, just as she was about to step into the witch's labrinyth. "Please," I whispered, "let's practice out here for a few minutes before going in." Fern's green eyes widened and she nodded, stepping out of the alleyway.
I watched, curious, as she took a running jump, flipping in midair and landing on two feet in 'magic girl mode'. My mouth fell open. How could she do that? Anyways, this was FERN we're talking about, the Queen of Fighting. Yeah, even if she was shorter than Ed, you'd never want to pick a fight with her. (She doesn't know she's shorter than him.)
She turned around, green skirt ruffling as she smiled at me. The moonlight hit her outfit, giving me a clearer view of it. She had a black wristband on each arm, and a matching black pleated skirt, school-girl style. Her shirt was sleeveless and neon green with those speed line thingies on it. Like this: and her boots, which went up to her thighs, were the same. Finally, Fern was holding a silver mace, the handle gripped tightly in a white gloved hand.
Lucky for her, Fern was a master at mastering any kind of weapon in the universe. This would be a snap for her. As for me, I might be a whizz at battle tactics and all that nerdy stuff, I was never really the 'strong' girl. This would take some time….
I shook my head and whipped my soul gem out of my pocket. I closed my eyes and searched my brain for that one tug…..there! There were two single threads of unusual magic, one I guessed for my fangirl magic and the other for my magical girl powers. Now all I need to do is tug….BAM!
In mere seconds, my clothes vanished and were replaced with my new outfit. (Insert description of outfit) I was holding two shiny shuriken (ninja stars) in both hands. I titled them, watching as they glinted dangerously in the moonlight. Huh, throwing stars. At least they were long range weapons, I couldn't handle the thought of battling close combat like Fern.
Fern moved off to the side, building a kind of target with the debris and her own summoning tools. At first, I wondered why she couldn't just IMAGINE up a suitable target until I tried it for myself. It was too big, for us anyway. Don't blame us! We're just beginners who can only summon little things like hamburgers!
I sighed wearily at the thought of building my own target and settled for just drawing one on a piece of wood. I summoned up a piece of chalk and started drawing a bulls eye target. When I was done, I clapped my hands together, sending up a poof of white dust in the air. Curious, I glanced over to see if Fern was done her work too.
She was already positioned in front of her target; mace ready in her hands and crouched down into a fighting stance. Determined to do my best, I turned to face the target, shurikens out and ready. I tried throwing them like a dagger but it didn't work, they clattered uselessly against the wood. The booms and big thuds told me that Fern wasn't succeeding either.
This was going to be loooong night….
-time skip-
Finally….finally...I thought as I stood proudly next to the battered target. I was officially now a decent good fighting magical girl. Definitely not as good as Mami and the others but decent. Fern was standing next to her equally battered target too, swinging her mace around her head. She caught my eye and grinned at me, the message evident in her eyes. Oh yeah baby! We're officially in the magical girl world!
I smiled back at her, returning the message. "Let's go fight that witch!" She croaked, voice raw from all the screaming she'd been doing earlier as she swung her mace around. I'd been surprised that nobody had woken up and called the police. Oh well.
"Oh yeah….I'm all fired up! BELIEVE IT!" I responded, shocked at how raspy my voice sounded too after hours of silence. Fern laughed then tugged me into the alleyway. I looked around the alley way one last time before the labyrinth overtook reality.
It was really weird. There was a pale blue sky with fluffy white clouds drifting all over the place, and there were clothes lines (with clothes) hanging from...well, everywhere. It seemed a bit too quiet. "This somehow seems familiar…" I whispered. Fern was hopping from one line to the next, shrieking, "So where's the witch?!" I searched through all my witch memories. "Elsa Maria? No, no...definitely not Charlotte...P-something...ummm..."
Suddenly, a giant school girl outfit dropped down in front of us, with arms sticking out of the neck hole, the armholes, and the skirt. "Patricia!" I cried. Fern whipped around. Her eyes widened as she saw the witch. I was just as afraid as she looked. We weren't scared of the way she looked, but at the prospect of fighting something that was trying to take out lives
. I swallowed, then hurled one of my shuriken at the towering monster. I read that Patricia controlled her familiars, so one of them skated in front of her, and the shuriken hit that instead, killing it. It acted like a boomerang, instantly returning to me. "Fern!" I shouted. She nodded, and leaped at the witch, swinging her spiked mace like a maniac. She slammed into Patricia, again and again, and one of the arms sort of fell off.
I closed my eyes and slammed my shuriken together. Somehow, I just knew what to do. They formed a massive star, spinning on it's own, sort of like the tiro finale Mami has. I threw it as hard as I could, screaming, "NINJA STAAAR!". It cut Patricia right down the middle, and with a shriek, the labyrinth disintegrated. I fell to the ground, panting. Fern wobbled over to me. "Ninja star, huh?" She mumbled. Suddenly, through the shadows, I spotted a patch even darker. "Fern look! A grief seed!" I cried. I reached out and grabbed it. I felt sad the moment I touched it, and as if the darkness was radiating out from it. "Fern…" I whispered. She came over and looked at it in awe. "It's so...dark." She said. I nodded. Her soul gem and my soul gem were both darker now.
Mine turned a little grey and Fern's was just a darker green. Before I could say anything, Fern pressed it to mine. The blackness floated out, and the grief seed became darker (if that's even possible.) "FERN!" I yelled. "I'm fine! You should've used it for yourself!" She dismissed me with a wave of her hand.
"Relax! Remember, sometimes the grief seeds have the capacity for two purifications?" I nodded, and she peered into it. "It's pretty dark…" She pressed it against her green gem, but took it off before every impurity was gone. "It's better now, but I don't want another witch hatching." She said. "Nobody ever said you had to completely purify your soul gem, right? I'll just use a grief seed from the next time a witch drops one.
" I guess that satisfied me. Suddenly, I noticed a warm red-orange glow coming from the horizon. "Fern, the sun!" She turned around, and then whipped back to me. "We have to get back before Mami wakes up." I nodded, and we raced off.
Fern's POV
"Fern! Wake up!"
"Gah...ten more minutes…"
"That's what you said ten minutes ago now GET UP!"
I opened my eyes groggily. Mami's stern expression swam into view. "You shouldn't be this tired Fern." She sighed. Then she whipped the blanket off me.
"NO! HISSS!" I hissed, and curled into a ball. Mami laughed. "Where's Chelsea?" I asked.
"Over there." Mami replied, pointing to the door. Chelsea was tapping her foot, and looked impatient. I glanced at the clock.
"HOLY INCUBATOR I AM SO LATE WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP EARLIER!?" I shrieked. Chelsea sighed.
"We did baka. You just didn't get out of bed." Who cares? They could've dragged me!
-time skip-
We sat down in our usual spots in class. Madoka and Sayaka waved at us, and we waved back. Homura glanced our way, but turned around right after. I wished I could tell her I knew what she was going through, and how much she gave up to protect Madoka, but I couldn't… Poor Homu. I noticed Sayaka and Madoka's expressions, and realized that this was the part where they talk telepathically with Mami. They aren't magical girls, they've just been given the chance to, so it should be okay if I did that too. I mean, who doesn't want to be telepathic? It's freakin' epic! "Hey Mami, what're we doing tonight?" I thought to her. "I want to take all my apprentices on a little 'witch tour' thing. To show them what being a magical girl is like." She thought back. "Great!" I thought.
"Class! We're starting now!" The teacher called out. Our thought conversation ended. NO! I thought. How could I be so stupid!? Mami is going to die soon! Charlotte's going to kill her!
Chelsea's POV (also, time skip)
"...AND MAMI'S GONNA DIE AND WE HAVE TO SAVE HER AND THIS IS BAD AND-" Fern wailed.
"FERN! Relax! This isn't Charlotte's labyrinth! Her's is that one by the hospital. You baka!" I said, exasperated. "Oh." She said. "But that is coming soon, so we need to be prepared." I said. We had just gotten back from our little outing, and Mami was asleep in the bedroom. "Ukato...we need your assistance…" I mumbled, cringing at the lameness of the phrase.
As usual, a silvery-gold beam of light shot down, and a shiny gold figure floated down. "Hi guys! I've been waiting for you! By the way, what's up with the dumb catchphrase thing? You don't need to say that every time you know." Oh. I wish she told us that earlier… "Anyways, what do you guys want?" I cleared my throat. "Yeah, um, if we save someone from dying, that counts as screwing up the storyline, right?"
Ukato thought for a minute. "Well, no. You can prolong their death, but one way or another, they will die." I nodded. "So, we can save Mami this time, right?" "Yeah sure." She smiled. "Anything else?" Fern spoke up, "Uh yeah, how do you know this stuff? Like, are you some anime angel?"
Ukato's face darkened. "In a sense, yes. I died in anime, and so essentially, I am an anime angel. But that's not how I know that stuff. If I did, I could answer any question you had right? But I didn't." She said slightly sadly. "So then how DO you know?" Fern asked again. "Fern-" I said. My bad senses were tingling. You know, when you're watching something and you just KNOW something bad is going to happen? "No, it's fine." Ukato cut me off. "You don't have anything important to do, right?" We shook our heads. "Then I guess I'll tell you about my own experience." "Ukato…" I whispered.
Luna: OOH IT'S GETTING EMOTIONAL UP IN HEYAAAAH! *NOTE*: READ THIS PART WHILE LISTENING TO DECRETUM AND THEN SIS PUELLA MAGICA. GO ON. OPEN UP YOUTUBE AND SEARCH THEM UP. WE AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE EXCEPT NARNIA- I MEAN, NOWHERE AT ALL.
"The anime I was in was Another. Do you guys know that one?" We nodded. Fern and I were scarred by all the gory death in Another. I mean, Elfen Lied scarred us more, but this was waaay creepier. "Anyways, I had been watching it. I decided I wanted to save as many people as I could. Obviously, I couldn't save Misaki, because I don't have the cure for leukemia, but I did save the "Umbrella Death" with Yukari."
She shook her head. "The one where the girl gets stabbed through by an umbrella top." I caught her just as she was about to land on the spike. I was considered a hero, because everyone thought I had stopped the curse from starting. However, the next day, she died from accidentally stabbing herself while chopping carrots...her hand just...slipped...then she was gone."
I was shocked. First of all, Ukato, the one who reminded us so much of Fuko, always smiling, always cheerful, telling such a dark story, and secondly… what had she gone through? What had the seemingly amazing power of these rings done to her? "After that, my popularity ended. Nobody blamed me, but they were sad to know the curse continued. And after that, the deaths progressed. So I decided to become one of the invisible students. I joined Mei. We drew together on the rooftop. We avoided people together. We were non-existent. Together. Mei seemed almost happy. I stayed at her house. But one day, she woke up crying. She had seen the colour of death...on me. I was terrified. I thought I was the next curse victim. But I was non-existent, so I didn't know how it was possible. She kept saying she didn't want to lose me like Misaki. I was her only friend. She and Kouichi weren't really friends yet."
At this point, I noticed her eyes were tearing up. "I told her not to worry, that she probably just imagined it. She was half-asleep. So we left it at that and lived on. But the next day, I screwed it up. Hugely. I told Mei everything. Absolutely everything. Who dies, how they die, when they die, how to stop the curse, how every single thing plays out in Another. Directly after that, I died. I had just been standing there next to them, and the stone glowed. I heard a voice, whispering to me, "You shouldn't have messed up the story. You might think that this is just a show, and it doesn't matter, because maybe it can be as though it never existed. But that's wrong. This is now reality. These are now real people. This now has real consequences. And you must die now."
I remember fading to black. Then after that, when I opened my eyes, I was floating above them. Kouichi was yelling for help, and Mei was shaking me, screaming, "Ukato! Wake up! Ukato!" Over and over again. I was dead. She slumped over on me, and cried. Suddenly, it was like everything was on reverse, but very quickly. Right back to when I had come in. And then, I was never there. I had never existed in the world of Another. And then I went to 'anime heaven' or whatever you want to call it." Tears streamed down her face. "So if that's all, I think I want to leave now." She whispered. We were silent. A beam of light, then she was gone again. "I'm so sorry Ukato…" Fern whispered.
Luna: OMG that was so freaking long. Sorry that we haven't uploaded in so long guys. We've been busy! We both had a Gauss test this week and needed to study, and also I've been watching three animes at once. On top of that, there's always school, but whenever we could we tried to squeeze in some time for Fanfiction. So please don't come after us with flaming torches and pitchforks. Or else we're going to need to do some jutsus here, some alchemy there, and maybe even a little bit of witch hunting sprinkled on top.
OH CRAP THEY'RE AFTER US KATRINA! SAVE US! SHADOW CLONE JUTSU! GYAAAH!
