Episode 9: Memories and Guilt
It was Saturday morning, which meant no school. Madoka had woken up early to make everyone breakfast and had informed her family that she would be back before noon. She let the others sleep in, Mami especially. She looked like she really needed it.
Madoka hadn't told her family about her 'extracurricular activities'. How could she? If she had they'd be worried. Her little brother had seen her in her Puella Magi form but since he was so young it didn't really matter. He was just a little toddler.
She thought back to last night, to Rayonix's return, to the revelation that it wasn't Rei, and to Mami's reaction. Mami was angry and sad. Angry because someone had taken over Rei's mantle and sad because it reminded her of what she'd lost.
Madoka missed Rei almost as much as Mami. She even called him 'sempai' a few times. He was always there for them, watching their backs, and supporting them. Seeing him again had been a dream come true but Shun wasn't him. It was just someone who looked like him.
She thought about Kyouko's words, about how Raymon had chosen a new partner and also how Rei's former partner had pretty much forgotten about them, Rei included. It was disheartening. It was just like with everybody else besides them. It was like Rei never even existed but the evidence of his existence was in the photographs they had of him.
She still remembered when Rayonix first came into their lives.
Mami thought she had the Witch Charlotte right where she wanted her but then a giant worm-like monster with a clown's face and a hungry expression burst from the plushy-like Witch's mouth. It opened its jaws that were filled with sharp teeth and Mami stood like a deer that was caught in the headlights. She couldn't move. She was going to die!
However, her death would not be coming soon as a blue and red beam of energy struck the worm in the head and knocked it aside, saving Mami's life at the last second. Madoka and Sayaka were stunned and Kyuubey was curious. What just happened.
"Looks like I made it just in time," a male voice was heard and the three girls and plus one Kyuubey saw someone standing atop a stack of cupcakes He was humanoid and clad in a blue bodysuit that sported red gloves and boots. He wore reinforced, silver chest armor and had spikes on his shoulders. His head was masked by a silver helmet that was equipped with a pair of blue horns, a blue mouthplate and he had glowing yellow eyes. He wore a belt with a blue and gold buckle that sported two points much like his horns. He had his arms in an L-formation and they were smoking.
He had been the one to save Mami's life.
"Kyuubey, who is that?" Madoko asked.
Kyuubey just stared with beady, red eyes. That was when Homura joined them.
"Hey!" Sayaka shouted as she saw the dark-haired girl.
"I see he's here," said Homura.
"Homura-chan, how did you get free?" Madoko asked, referring to Mami's binding spell. She then guessed and looked up at the male figure who'd just saved Mami. "Was it him?"
Homura didn't respond but her thoughts were trouble, 'Who is he? He didn't appear before? Why now?'
The Clown Worm, which was Charlotte's second form rose up and focused its deranged eyes on the newcomer. It licked its lips and lunged forward. The blue and red warrior leapt off his perch and Charlotte smashed face-first into the desert.
"Hey, you gotta be quicker than that!" the blue-red man taunted. Charlotte glared and lunged at him. He flipped back and with both his feet kicked into Charlotte's chin, tossing her head backwards. Looking at the girls, he realized he had no time to play around and so decided to finish it.
"Oi, blondie!" he called to Mami. "Back me up, will ya?"
Mami nodded and then produced her guns which she fired rapidly at Charlotte. Explosions erupted from the Clown Worm's body as it was being bombarded. The blue-red fighter's eyes glowed and he spread his arms out to the sides. Particles of light focused in his chest and his horns began to flow. The energy then transferred into his arms and he launched himself into the air.
"RAYONIX SLASH!" he shouted as he swung his arms forward. Crescent blades of energy shot towards the Clown Worm and cut right through. The Clown Worm howled in agony from the attack. Mami took advantage of the moment to execute her finisher. She summoned up her massive gun and aimed at the Clown Worm.
"TIRO FINALE!" The blast from her massive gun hit Charlotte's Clown Worm form and destroyed it explosively.
With the end of the Witch, the Barrier ceased to exist and the girls were all returned to the real world. All that was left of Charlotte was her Grief Seed which the blue-red figure picked up in his hand. "Here," he said as he tossed the Grief Seed to Mami who caught it. "Ja ne," he said before he turned to walk away.
"Wait," said Homura and he stopped. "Who are you?" she questioned suspiciously.
"Kamen Rider," he answered. "Kamen Rider Rayonix."
"Kamen Rider…?" Madoka said questionably.
He pretty much became their ally since then, always arriving in the nick of time to save them. As she finished cooking and started to set the food on the table, she spotted Sayaka and Homura. "Good morning, you two."
"Wow, smells great," Sayaka complimented.
"Wash up first," advised Homura.
"Oh, right," smiled Sayaka.
Sayaka missed Rei too and seeing Rayonix again had been like a dream come true. Her first thought when she'd seen the Rider again was to celebrate because Rei was back! She may have seen his body disintegrate into light but she still thought that maybe, someday, he may return. Seemed a bit too optimistic but magic was supposed to make everything possible, right?
When she had made her wish to heal Kyousuke's hand and became a Puella Magi in exchange, she thought things would be alright. Then she found out her body was nothing more than an empty shell with the Soul Gem containing her soul, hence the name. She'd been depressed about her condition and distanced herself from Kyousuke when he returned to school. She started to become angry, at herself, Kyuubey, and everyone else. She started to distrust her friends. Everyone tried to help her but she rejected their help out of distrust. All this, coupled with the fact that her Soul Gem was corrupted, would've turned her into a Witch if Rei hadn't arrived in time to purify her Soul Gem. According to him, her Soul Gem had been critical and in a matter of seconds she would've turned into a Witch.
And then there was the talk they had when he got her alone. She was grateful for his words.
Sayaka was alone on the roof when Rei walked up to her. He was a student of the school like her and one of Mami's classmates. "So, how have you been?" he asked. Sayaka sighed and turned.
"Not too good, but better than before," she answered. "I apologized to Madoka."
"Yeah, it really wasn't the nicest thing you did, making her worry and just being horrible," acknowledged Rei. Sayaka frowned. "Hey, you were horrible."
"I was, but I just got so angry," she answered.
"At who?" Rei questioned.
"At Kyousuke-kun, at Hitomi, at Kyuubey, at everyone else…but most of all at myself." She clenched her fists. "How can I be with Kyousuke-kun now?"
"Baka," Rei called her. She glared at him.
"What did you call me!?" she demanded.
"Baka, ahou," he continued to insult her. She got up to his face and grabbed the front of his uniform.
"You better shut up!" she demanded, pulling her arm back to hit him.
"Sayaka, you're supposed to be a brave warrior of justice," he said. "So what if you're not human anymore? You're still you, aren't you?"
Sayaka let her arm hang weakly at her side. "I…I don't know anymore."
"Believe it or not, you deserve to be happy," he told her. "You made his dream come true. You gave him a miracle. Sure, maybe it wasn't as you expected but things rarely do work out the way we want. What we can do, what we should do, is try our best to live."
"Easy for you to say, Mr. Kamen Rider," scoffed Sayaka.
"Even a Kamen Rider gets bad days," he told her. "Just confess to him. Once you do that weight in your heart will lighten. Besides, you really don't want anyone to steal him away, do you? You've always been at his side. Now it's time to take his healed hand in yours and let him support you."
"You're pretty wise," she commented.
"I know, I have to be, now go and get your man!" he encouraged.
Homura once thought that Rei had been interfering with her mission. She'd pretty much demanded why he was doing what he was doing. In the end he'd allowed Madoka to become a Puella Magi, something Homura had been working to not allow to happen as she'd made a promise in her past. Unfortunately, there was nothing to do about it now. A lot had changed with Rei as the catalyst.
She remembered how cold she'd been to him following the Walpurgis Night incident and even after several months had passed she still resented him because his interference had allowed Madoka to become a Puella Magi.
She remembered confronting him several days after the battle with Walpurgis Night…
Homura and Rei were at the café. The black-haired girl was frowning as while Rei leaned back in his seat across from her, looking neutral. "OK, you wanted to talk, let's talk."
"You weren't supposed to be here," she said.
"OK, ouch," Rei responded, wincing at her words. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Each time I went back in time a lot of things happened, but this is the first time I encountered you," she said. "You changed a lot of things and…"
"Saved everyone," he finished.
"No, not everyone. There's Madoka," she countered.
"Madoka? What are you talking about?"
"Because of you going berserk she made a wish and Kyuubey granted it. She made a contract and became a Puella Magi." Her fists were on the table and were tightly clenched.
"And she ended up saving us all," he concluded as he took a sip of his coffee.
"She wasn't supposed to. I was supposed to save her," said Homura.
"Save her from what? Her destiny?" questioned Rei. He swirled the coffee in his cup and said, "There are some things you can fight, like Witches but you can't fight destiny. You can resist but ultimately you'll have to accept destiny. Of course what you do with that destiny is completely up to you. Knowing the type of person Madoka is, and considering how much she cares about everyone, she has the heart, potential and strength to become the greatest Puella Magi of all."
Homura accepted that. It was Madoka who'd inspired her in the first place during the first timeline. She had admired Madoka even though the girl had been a bit naïve and innocent. Homura loved Madoka for being so pure. She wanted to protect Madoka's purity but that was impossible now.
"It's still your fault," she told him.
"I know, and I accept your hatred. But what will you do about it?" he questioned.
For months she resented him, merely tolerating his presence. They never were close. They were only allies. They never really became friends no matter how much Madoka insisted they should be. To Homura, he was the one who allowed Madoka to become a Puella Magi and she would've become a Witch one day.
Then he sacrificed himself and became the light that gave all Puella Magi, in the present and future, hope. Her Soul Gem had not lost its shine since then, no matter how much magic she used, allowing her to cast spells indefinitely without fear of exhausting her magic or becoming a Witch. He'd done the impossible and paid for it with his own life.
And Homura noticed that he never once regretted his decision.
Kyouko had woken up earlier when she smelled food cooking but she didn't immediately go after it like she normally would. In fact she stayed at Mami's bedside, watching the blonde sleep. The redhead had made it her duty to look after Mami as a way to honor Rei's sacrifice. She remembered one time she and Rei had a very violent confrontation.
"Stop dodging and fight!" shouted Kyouko as she tried to spear Rayonix who dodged all her strikes. Rayonix had defeated a Witch that Kyouko had been after and was holding the Grief Seed from her. She really wanted that Grief Seed and would fight for it. She needed it so she could purify her Soul Gem and use more magic.
"Sorry, but this is too much fun!" he shot back as he ducked a swing. Kyouko then swung a chain at Rayonix, binding him.
"Hah, gotcha!" she gloated. The chains were shattered. "Fuck!"
"Think again!" he responded as he rushed forward and threw a punch, only stopping an inch from her face. There was still a blast of wind that sent her ponytail flapping behind her and she just froze. "Believe it or not, I'm on your side," he said. He turned his fist over and opened his palm to reveal the Grief Seed. Blinking, Kyouko took it into her hand as Rayonix stepped back. He then reverted back to Rei. "So, are you feeling hungry? Let me treat you to dinner."
Kyouko had opened up to Sayaka, seeing as how similar they were. Kyouko had made her wish for her father which ended tragically. She didn't want to see someone suffer like that. Rei seemed to be the same way, someone who put himself on the line for others. He never got into details about how he got his powers, opting to keep that information to himself. However, Kyouko was observant. She knew Rei was the type to fight for others rather than himself. He was like a stereotypical superhero. She thought they were just something only seen on TV but Rei proved to her that real heroes did exist.
Since the loss of her family, Kyouko had only lived for herself but by accepting Rei's invitation she had accepted his friendship. She had also accepted the others as friends and more. They had become a family, albeit a dysfunctional one. Sometimes she would tease Madoka about being Sayaka or Homura's 'bride' since Madoka would often cook for them. The reaction she got from Homura was priceless.
Rei had been a friend, and not just someone who cooked free meals for her or provided her with a place to crash. He had always been by their side. Kyouko looked to Mami and couldn't help but feel envious. Mami hadn't been the only one to like Rei like that. Kyouko had actually liked Rei more than just a friend. Her teasing was just a way of showing her affection and he'd been kind to her despite her attitude. Sure, she annoyed him and he didn't hide that fact but he still considered her a good friend. As abrasive as she was she would stick by the people she cared for.
Mami was dreaming. Well, actually she was remembering in her dreams. Before they started dating, she and Rei had started to develop a close friendship. She remembered the days they spent at the beach and that day at the summer festival. Then after they started dating things became very intimate between them.
Mami was lying on her bed with Rei on top of her. They had just both finished dealing with a Witch and were exhausted. Like many times before, Mami had invited Rei over to her place for rest but Mami had other plans.
Their lips met in a deep kiss which they broke for air, only to kiss again, then repeat the process. It was a hot make out session with her arms around him and his around her. Her hands rubbed up and down his back as she felt his warm body press down on hers.
They never did go further than that. As she opened her eyes, she saw Kyouko looking at her. "Good morning, princess," Kyouko greeted.
"Ah, good morning, Kyouko-san," said Mami. She smelled something delicious. "Is someone cooking?"
"Yeah, Madoka," replied Kyouko. "Now, hurry up and get washed up. We're having breakfast." Kyouko left the room. Mami smiled and turned to her nightstand. She picked up a framed photograph of herself and Rei and gazed at his image.
"Good morning, Rei-san," she said before kissing his picture. Rei had made her so happy and she tried to be happy after his death. It would take some time for her to do that. She hadn't been the same when she'd lost her parents and she never thought she'd ever feel the same pain again until Rei's sacrifice. However, the difference was that Mami was no longer alone. She had friends and they were waiting for her.
Shun couldn't sleep. The aches in his chest got in the way. After he got back to his apartment he'd treated his wounds to prevent them from being infected and bandaged himself up. He was a fast healer but he wanted to heal right.
He thought back to Mephisto's words: "It's disgraceful. You're not even worth killing."
And yet, contradicting his own words, the evil Rayblood had tried to blow him up. If this was the power the enemy had then those girls wouldn't stand a chance. He knew Kyouko would listen. He wasn't sure about the others. However, he was sure that Mami would sooner shoot him than listen to him.
She'd seen the anger in her eyes. She looked ready to kill him. Suddenly, her mood just shifted and she collapsed in tears. He wanted to comfort her but it was an awkward situation so he decided just to leave her alone. Her friends would help her.
Shun managed to learn about his predecessor from Kyouko and he looked at the Ray Buckler. He was a novice compared to Rei and wished he'd actually gotten the same kind of experience. He began to question his decision only to remember that he needed to do this. Also, he needed a job. Ignoring the pain in his chest he picked up his resume and the Ray Buckler and set out to find food and a job.
"Gochisosama deshita (thank you for the meal)," said Mami as she finished her meal. She and her friends had eaten together but now it was time for Madoka, Sayaka and Homura to leave. Mami saw them off and watched them leave as Kyouko picked up their dirty plates and washed them.
"So, any big plans for today?" Kyouko asked.
"No, why do you ask?" responded Mami.
"Well, I just thought you and I could hang out," she said. "How about we go have some ramen for lunch?"
"Your treat or mine?" Mami asked.
"My treat, of course. I do have a paycheck," said Kyouko. "Which reminds me that I gotta get to work. Later, Mami!" Kyouko was out the door, grabbing her coat and scarf. Mami sighed.
"Alone again…" she murmured. Maybe she could take a walk. It was a beautiful day, after all. It would be lonely but she was used to being alone even after gaining friends.
Shun finally got himself a job at a ramen shop. He was a waiter, washer and delivery boy and was fine with all the responsibilities. He was willing to do anything so he could keep a roof over his head. Customers were already coming in and he started taking orders and handing them over to the chef and owner. Then, he would of course pick up the dirty bowls and wash them then. Then, when someone called for a delivery he would get on a bicycle and carry the ramen to the address, intact. Ruined ramen would mean a deduction from his paycheck which he couldn't afford.
The interview had gone smoothly. He must've been horrible during his previous interviews and job applications if they had rejected him. He never did have any experience with interviews but after several rejections knew what he should and shouldn't do. At his new he got 1,000 yen an hour, which was fair enough. He would just have to work long hours to have enough for rent and food.
He could work long hours too since he didn't go to school. He wasn't ignorant or uneducated of course. He just didn't need to go to school. He was smart enough already. The owner had been suspicious but Shun simply said he couldn't afford to go to school and lived on his own. He was just trying to survive and this harsh, cold and cruel world.
Meanwhile, Mami walked by the ramen shop and gazed at it. She remembered when Rei had taken her to this place for lunch. The food was delicious and also very affordable. She remembered when Rei told her about the different types of ramen out there. His knowledge was almost encyclopedic.
Mami smiled as she reminisced about Rei. Normally, memories of him would bring her down and make her depressed as they were simply memories which would remind her that he wasn't with them anymore. However, he wouldn't want her to be sad. Unfortunately, she couldn't help it.
Mami saw someone coming out of the shop carrying a steel box for delivering ramen and hop on a bicycle and her eyes widened when she saw who it was.
It was the impostor.
This was chance to get back the Ray Buckler from him. He didn't deserve it like Rei did. If he wouldn't give it up willingly, then she would take it by force. Resolutely, she followed after Shun. He was on a bicycle but she would be able to catch up to him. She was, after all, a Puella Magi.
Mami should've been paying attention because she was being watched.
"Guilty."
Shun finished with his delivery and was about to head back to the shop when he saw Mami (in Puella Magi form) standing in front of him. He stopped the bicycle and regarded her warily. She had tried to shoot him the previous night and after hearing about her mental and emotional state held up his guard. He was cautious as he didn't want to give Mami a reason to shoot him.
It wasn't like she needed one. She had already decided that she hated him and Shun doubted he could change her mind. She hated him for taking Rei's place.
"Let's cut to the chase," said Shun as he took out the Ray Buckler. "This is what you want, isn't it?"
"You don't deserve it," she told him coldly.
Shun sighed and apologized, "I'm sorry I'm not this "Rei" person. Raymon found me and asked me to do this. All I wanted was to do something good with my life."
"I don't care," said Mami. "It's not yours." She demanded, "Now, give it back." She had her rifle aimed at him.
"I can't do that," he told her. "I won't part with this. It's the key something I've always wanted; purpose. And I don't care how you feel about it. I was chosen, end of story."
Mami was about to retort when all of a sudden a large black hole opened up underneath their feet. With a scream, she fell and so did Shun as he cried out in shock.
When Mami came to, she couldn't move. It was dark so she couldn't see where she was. "Where am I?" Then, the lights shone and Mami gasped as she realized that she was restrained in a guillotine with the blade hanging over her head. She looked around. She was in a courtroom, and it looked like a Western one with a jury box and the judge's bench. The members of the jury all looked like faceless people and the judge was a girl dressed in black and wearing a powdered wig.
"What is this?" asked Mami. Was this a trial? Was this her trial?
"So, members of the jury," the judge began, "Do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?"
The foreman of the jury stood up. He was also faceless. "We the jury find Mami Tomoe is guilty for causing the death of Rei Hikari."
"No!" Mami denied.
"Silence!" the judge commanded.
"If Rei Hikari had not cared about her then he wouldn't have died. Thus, it is her fault he died," the jury foreman continued.
"Indeed," the judge agreed, nodding. "If it wasn't for her he wouldn't have had to die."
Mami wanted to deny these horrible words but her voice got caught in her throat. In a way, it was true. Rei had sacrificed himself for them. He had died for them. They, her most of all, were the reason he'd made that decision. In a way, she had caused his death.
Tears began to fall from her tears. 'Rei-san, I'm sorry…' She closed her eyes. Maybe she would be able to meet with Rei if she died.
"I sentence you to death," said the judge as she brought down her gavel. The blade then dropped down on Mami and she accepted her fate.
'Rei-san, I'm coming…'
The blade never touched her neck as a beam of energy threw the door open and slammed into the blade, knocking it straight into the wall where it was imbedded. The judge stood up and looked towards the door as a blue figure entered.
"I OBJECT!" declared Rayonix as he pointed at the judge's bench dramatically.
"ORDER IN THE COURT!" commanded the judge as her clothes changed. She was now dressed in a black suit with a red tie. Instead of pants she wore a leather skirt that reached down to mid-thigh with thigh-high boots. She also wore a cloak and in her right hand was a mallet. She took off her powdered wig to show her silver hair which was tied in a braid that was wrapped around her neck.
The members of the jury rushed at Rayonix but he wasn't concerned. He swung his right arm and cut them down with a crescent blade of energy and watched them fall like puppets with their strings cut off. Then again, they did look like faceless mannequins after all.
The Dark Puella Magi growled then looked to Mami who was still bound. She decided to finish the job and swung at Mami. The mallet's shaft extended as the head expanded before coming down on the blonde to crush her. However, Rayonix immediately appeared in front of the mallet and caught it in his hands before pushing the mallet backwards. The Dark Puella Magi recoiled and stumbled.
Rayonix looked to Mami. She stared up at him in nostalgia. "Rei-san…" she uttered. It was the same armor and nothing had changed except that someone else was wearing it. He used a blade of energy to cut Mami free. Slowly, she rose up to her feet, massaging her neck and wrists. She looked at him.
"I know you won't accept me," said Rayonix/Shun, "And frankly I don't really care. I've accepted my destiny and this is the path I've chosen." He paused, "You hate me, I get that, but I don't hate you. I don't know Rei but from what I heard about him he cared a great deal about you and gave his life for you. Every moment is precious so don't throw your live away. It would be an insult and a waste of his sacrifice."
Mami listened to his words. She still didn't accept him as Rei's successors but his words held truth in them. Rei had died so they could live and she'd been ready to give up. The way she had acted was an insult to Rei's memory.
The mallet-wielding Dark Puella Magi, Akari, scowled at the two. She would kill them. It was Mephisto-sama's will after all.
"RARGH!" she roared as she flew at them and swung her mallet. The floor shattered as she brought her weapon down. Mami and Rayonix had dodged and the blonde quickly produced her guns and aimed, hitting Akari with two shots that hit her in the chest. The Dark Puella Magi ignored the pain and rushed at Mami as the blonde brought out a ribbon and lashed it out at her. Akari jumped over the ribbon but was then sent crashing into the judge's bench when Rayonix punched her.
No, this was HER Barrier! HER world! SHE was LAW! SHE was ORDER!
She had become a Puella Magi to punish the wicked but in the end she'd become a Witch and used her power to kill the wicked people in the world. She had lost herself but then Mephisto brought her back. Now she was a Puella Magi again and still be able to do what she'd always done. She was given a new reason for being and a purpose. She would punish those who opposed Mephisto-sama!
"GRAVITY…HAMMER!" she called as she brought her hammer down and the shockwave swept outwards. Mami and Rayonix bodies felt heavy and they were forced to their knees. Akari grinned. Her Gravity Hammer technique would not allow them to resist or escape.
They were finished.
"Judgment has been passed, and both of you will be sentenced to death," said Akari as she slowly made her way towards them. She snapped her fingers and bound them in guillotines. "Any last words?"
"Just two," said Rayonix and he shouted them out, "BURST MODE!"
Energy exploded from his body in a single burst. Shocked, Akari was knocked off her feet as the guillotine holding Rayonix shattered. Mami watched as Rayonix assumed Burst Mode. He was the same color as Rei's burst mode but something was different. The chestplate was still silver, and his eyes remained yellow. Also, unlike Rei's Burst Mode his body didn't radiate with malevolent negative energy.
This was the legacy Rei left behind; his light. Now, Shun Hirokawa had inherited that light.
Rayonix freed Mami from her own guillotine as well and told her, "Stand back."
Electricity sparked from his horns as Akari got back to her feet. She clenched her teeth and gripped her mallet before she rushed towards Rayonix in her rage. The electricity danced off his horns as he stretched his arms to the side. The electricity collected around his arms and then he clapped, sending a bolt of lightning streaking through the air. Akari screamed as she was zapped and collapsed to the ground.
"Mephisto…sama…" she uttered as she reached up as her body began to disintegrate and then finally turn to dust. What remained of her was a single Grief Seed as it lay among her remains. Seconds later it shattered to pieces.
Rayonix exhaled as he deactivated Burst Mode. He then felt a gun to his back and sighed. Of course, Mami still hated him and the fact that he'd saved her life did nothing to change her opinion of him. He waited for the shot to be fired but she took his gun off his back.
"You saved my life, so now I spare yours," said Mami. "We're even. However, this still doesn't mean I acknowledge you."
"And like I said I don't really care," Rayonix responded as the entire courtroom shattered like glass and they returned to the real world. Rayonix was back in human form. They both regarded each other with cold calmness before Shun grabbed his bicycle, got on, and rode away.
"Rei-san… I wish you were here…" she murmured. She then recalled Akari's last words. "Who's 'Mephisto-sama'?"
KAMEN RIDER CHROME: Another Dark Puella Magi is defeated. Also, Mami and Shun have a rather violent confrontation. Nothing happened but if that Dark Puella Magi hadn't appeared. Now Mami has learnt Mephisto's name. She will definitely tell the others. Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I did work hard on it. Didn't take me long and I'm pretty satisfied with it. Anyway, please read and review and enjoy yourselves.
