"Take it. It is your destiny."

"I see… So you can't leave the hospital yet?" Sayaka was talking to Kyosuke.

"Yeah. They're still doing rehab on my legs." Kyosuke smiled. "Just like you said, a miracle occured. This is-" He stopped. "A little while ago I said something mean to you, didn't I? Sorry…"

"It's fine! You've finally gotten better, so don't make that kind of face!" Sayaka glanced at her watch. "Looks like it's about time. Kyosuke, let's go out and get some fresh air."

"Sayaka, why are we going to the roof?"

"Just wait and see!" The two exited the elevator. In front of them stood Kyousuke's parents, doctors and nurses. They began to clap.

"Everyone…" Kyosuke stared at the people.

"The actual celebration will come after you're discharged." Kyousuke's father walked up.

"I know you told me to throw it out, but I couldn't." Kyosuke was presented with his violin. He gingerly touched it. "Go ahead. Try it out." Kyosuke began playing a haunting melody.

There's no way I'd ever regret this. My wish came true.

"So that's the new Puella Magi, huh? She looks like a weakling." Kyoko was watching the encounter through her binoculars.

"Not everything will turn out the way you want, you know." Kyubey looked up at Kyoko. "Besides the other blonde one, there's another Puella Magi in the city."

"Huh? What's she like?"

"I don't know much about her, either."

"WHAT? You don't know- she made a contract with you, didn't she?"

"Well, yes and no."

"What the hell…?"

"She's extremely irregular. Evan I don't know what she's going to do next."

"Hmph. That's fine." Kyoko grinned. "Looks like I can finish this without being bored."

"What?" Kid stared at Ox and Harvar.

"You heard us. Maka and Sayaka are magic users. Possibly Homura and Mami as well." Ox was getting very agitated as he told the strange story.

"I will go talk to them immediately." Kid looked worriedly at Ox. "If you would be so kind as to fetch Kim…"

"Yes!" Ox ran down the hallways, headed straight towards Kim and Jackie's house. Harvar slowly followed.

"Now to continue the investigation…" Kid used his soul perception to look for Maka and Sayaka. "Now that's odd…"

"My first witch hunt!" Sayaka and Maka walked through the empty streets of Death City. Eventually, they arrived at the barrier.

"The barrier is very unstable. It's probably a familiar's." Kyubey, perched on Sayaka's shoulder, commented this.

"Look! It's getting away!"

"All right! Take that!" Sayaka attacked mercilessly, but-

"The attacks were repelled?" Kyoko appeared from out of the shadows.

"Hey hey, what are you two doing? That things a familiar. It's not gonna drop a grief seed, ya know?"

"A Puella Magi?" Sayaka stared at Kyoko.

"As I thought, you came, Kyoko."

"Sayaka, hurry, it's getting away," urged Maka.

"I have to chase- !?"

"And I'm telling you to stop." Kyoko put out a hand in front of Sayaka.

"What are you doing!? If we leave it alone, someone's going to be killed!" Sayaka pleaded with the red headed. Maka glared at Kyoko, wanting to chase after the familiar but unwilling to leave her friend alone.

"Isn't that obvious? If it eats 4 or 5 people, it'll turn into a witch…" Kyoko grinned at Sayaka's horrified expression, "...and actually drop a grief seed. What's the point of strangling a chicken before it lays eggs?"

"Wha… Are you saying we should just watch it kill people?"

"You know, I think you're getting the wrong idea about something. Witches feed on weak people, and we feed on those witches. Isn't that just how things work? Didn't you learn about the food chain in school? I really hope you didn't waste your wish on something like justice. Just so you could save people."

"...!" Sayaka's face darkened. She rushed at Kyoko, blade drawn. The redhead easily deflected and attacked.

"Go cool your head for a bit." Sayaka struggled to her feet, surprising Maka and Kyoko. "How…? Never mind. I'm your senior in this, anyway."

"SHUT UP!" Sayaka attacked again, and Kyoko deflected.

"You're an idiot who won't listen. It looks like I'll have to kill you!" They clashed again. Maka turned to Kyubey.

"Make them stop," she demanded.

"Only a magical girl like you can come between them," her replied serenely. Maka nodded and jumped into the fight. Her sword appeared in her hands, and she swung it at Kyoko. However, she proved to simply be in their way and had to retreat.

"How can I stop them?" Sayaka had fallen to the side.

"This is-" Kyoko jumped up, her spear pointed at Sayaka, "THE END!"

"That will not be necessary." A figure appeared, blowing Kyoko from her path. Maka gasped.
"Homura?"
