Puella magi Mel Magica
Chapter 11: Chapter 11: I promise I will save her! Part:2
Kelly, Nina and Eliza battled against witches together for almost a year. They had grown custom to each others battle tactics and made a unstoppable group. When not fighting witches they hung out together along with Melanie. They decided to kept the fact that they were magical girls a secret from Melanie since Kelly feared that Melanie would also want to become a magical girl and Kelly did not Melanie to risk her life.
However there had been recently been less witches which meant less grief seeds. Kelly had noticed that whenever her soul gem got darker it meant it caused her to be more irritable than usual. Battle had tired her out and she had noticed that whenever she was home she would just end up being to tired to move or just fall asleep.
"Sis are you still awake?" Melanie questioned opening the door to her sister's bed room. Kelly was laying on her bed motionlessly. Kelly turned her head slightly to see her sister staring at her.
"Yes." Kelly replied simply turning her head back to where it was.
"You should eat dinner tonight you didn't have breakfast and your lunch container is still full from school." Melanie wondered.
"I'm not hungry." Kelly grumbled. Kelly looked over and saw that her cellphone had a message on it. She didn't bother looking she knew that it was Nina or Eliza telling her that one of them has found a witch. Kelly stood up and grabbed her soul gem from the night stand next to her. She looked at her sister and then back at her soul gem.
Had she made a mistake was Melaine's happiness really worth all of the pain and exhaustion she had been experiencing since becoming a magical girl.
No sitting alone in a room was not the life Melanie deserved.
"Sis don't go out again tonight you are too tired." Melanie pleaded grabbing her sister's arm.
Kelly ignored Melanie and walked out of their grandmothers house. Once outside she held out her soul gem to find where the witch currently was.
She had to do this. She needed to protect Melanie. If not for Melanie their mother would have probably end up shooting all of them and neither of them would be alive. She needed to protect Melanie, no one else could.
What she didn't know was that Melanie decided to follow her. Ever since Melanie came home from the mental institution, Kelly had been leaving the house at random times, usually at night and coming home exhausted. What could Kelly been keeping from her.
Melanie followed Kelly until she got to the center of a bridge. A portal appeared and Kelly walked into it. Melanie walked up to the portal and felt an odd presence behind her.
"Do you wish to know what she is up to?" a voice said from behind Melanie.
"What was that?" Melanie turned around and looked at the ground and saw a small white creature on the ground looking up at her.
"You could follow her. You will discover a great secret." the creature walked up to the portal and stared back at Melanie with it's giant creepy pink eyes. "That is if you are ready."
"I thought Kelly just had a secret boyfriend. Why else would she be avoiding me?" Melanie wondered. It was not like her sister to keep secrets from her. "I wanna see what she is doing. This portal is obviously magical."
The portal started to flicker slightly. Melanie assumed the portal was about to disappear. She clenched her fist. She walked inside the portal and was transported into a place that was surrounded by sky scrapers all around.
Melanie started walking hoping she would find her sister soon. She was amazed the portal lead to some weird place. It was magic, how could her sister not tell her about something so cool. What could Kelly be doing here there was absolutely nothing here of interest.
"ELIZA NO!" a voice screeched from the distance. Melanie looked around hoping to find the source of the voice.
Elsewhere Nina and Kelly were standing over an motionless Eliza who was now in her school uniform instead of her magical girl outfit. In the sky above them was a witch. It was standing on the edge of a building, despite the wtich lacking a head it still appeared to be looking down at them. The witch was hugging a heart up against her chest. It's arms and legs were dark gray. It's body was covered in a white cloth that flowed behind it. On it's arms there were many red marks on it's arms.
Nina collapsed onto the ground covering eyes with her hands. "This can't be happening." Nina looked up at Kelly who was still standing.
"The witch is high up. I can fly but lack attacking force and you specialize in close up attacks." Kelly looked up at the witch.
"Our friend just died how can you be so calm!" Nina snapped standing up.
"We'll both die if we sit here doing nothing." Kelly sighed. "This witch poses much difficulty. Neither of us can attack it. Nor can I lift you up to the witch."
Nina dropped her sword on the ground. "Take the sword. I don't want to do this anymore." Nina said hugging her knees.
Kelly grabbed the sword. She never used one before and wondered if she would be effective in using it but there was no other choice. If she couldn't stop this witch then it might continue to hurt people. It could eventually hurt Melanie.
Kelly flew up to the roof and stood behind the witch. "This is for killing my friend!" Kelly charged at the witch. However the witch grabbed the sword and flung it to the ground. Kelly watched the sword land on the ground. Once it landed on the ground she looked over and saw a person looking up at her. Despite being high up she could clearly tell who it was.
"Lanie? Whats she doing here?!" Kelly looked down reached her hand out as she saw that Melanie was with kyubey. "Stay away from her!" Kelly shouted despite knowing they wouldn't hear her.
Kelly felt something grab her shoulder. She turned around and saw the witch had her by the shoulder. Before she could react the witch punched her in the stomach and Kelly fell off the building.
"Melanie get out of here!" Kelly shouted again as she was falling hoping in some way her sister would hear her.
For some reason Kelly couldn't get her wings to work. She tried flapping them but it wasn't working. She summoned a barrier around herself but for some reason the barrier was flickering. She focused all her energy to keeping the shield up so she wouldn't be hurt.
"Kelly!" Melanie called running over to her sister who had just landed on the ground stomach down.
"Lanie get out of here!" Kelly demanded coughing up a bit of blood.
"Kelly what is happening?" Melanie questioned.
"Just go!" Kelly yelled.
"Melanie?" Nina said running over to see if Kelly was ok. "She could help us if she made a contract with Kyubey and became a magical girl she may be able to help us defeat this witch. She wouldn't even need to wish for anything major."
Kelly shook her head. "She is not going to risk her life!" Kelly exclamation as she struggled to standup.
"Sis what is happening!" Melanie questioned looking at her injured sister. "I want to help you."
"No just get out of here." Kelly demanded flying into the sky holding her stomach.
Kelly was in immense pain she couldn't breathe properly. But she had to keep fighting; Melanie needed her. She needed to protect her sister. She needed to keep seeing that bright cheerful smile that she had missed these past years. She needed Melanie to be happy. She needed to protect Melanie no one else could.
Melanie watched her sister fly into the sky and towards the witch. Once again Kelly was swatted away like a fly. She was sent flying into a building. While she did have a barrier it still hurt her.
Melanie watched her sister get beaten up and tossed around. Was there nothing she could do to help? What did the magical girls do and how could she become one? She wanted to help her sister but how could she help.
"If I make a contract with you, Can you grant any wish?" Melanie asked.
"If it meets the requirements then yes." Kyubey walked up from behind Melanie. "Now tell me. With what wish would your soul gem shine?"
"I can't think of anything!" Melanie sat on the ground hugging her knees. "I can't help her. I need to help her!"
Suddenly groups of semi-colon shaped familiars surrounded them. Nina summoned a sword and held it out to protect Melanie. "I don't know how long I can fend them off."
"There is so much I don't know. If I knew more about magical girls I could help Kelly. And all other magical girls." Melanie said raising her head a bit.
Kelly was send hurdling to the ground once a again and landed about 30 feet from Melanie. She wasn't moving this time.
"Kelly!" Melanie cried. Melanie stood up and ran over to her sister. "Thank God she is still alive." Mel said seeing Kelly breathing.
"There are ways to help magical girls in situations like this." Kyubey walking over to Melanie once again.
"If only I knew more about magical girls." Mel sighed.
Wait that was it. She could do that. She could wish to know more about magical girls then she could know everything about magical girls and she could help.
"I don't know anything about you but I know my wish." Melanie looked determined at Kyubey.
"Is that a wish you could give away your soul for?" Kyubey jumped up onto a nearby windowsill. "If you have a wish your willing to fight for I'll give you the needed power."
Melanie put her hand to her chest and took a deep breath. "I always been protected by my sister, it's mine turn I want to become someone who protects her! I wish I knew everything about about magical girls!" Melanie called out.
"The contract is complete. Now take hold of your new power." Kyubey said to Melanie. A purple soul gem with a heart and angel wings appeared in front of her. She reached out and grabbed the soul gem.
Kelly looked over and saw a bright purple light in the area around Melanie. "Lanie no!" With all strength she had left she walked over towards light.
The light slowly started fading and Melanie appeared in a different outfit. Her outfit was purple and white and she had angel wings on her back and on her head connecting to her purple heart shaped soul gem.
"Melanie?" Nina turned around around to see Melanie staring at her. Melanie had a stern look on her face. She walked past Nina and looked up at the witch standing on the rooftop. A purple aura around her hands.
"People like you sicken me." She said holding her arms out in front of her. "All because of one man, you hate your life for no reason. You have nothing to complain about you have a happy family life. A caring family and friends." The aura around Melanie's hand grew larger. "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO SUFFER!"
A heart beam shot out of Melanie's hands and took down the witch in one hit. The witches barrier and all the familiars disappeared around the girls. The witches grief seed appeared in front of Melanie who ion turn picked it up.
"That was amazing!" Nina said looking at Melanie. "I didn't know you would have such great potentional."
Melanie looked down towards her sister who was laying on the ground holding her stomach in pain. Melanie walked over to Kelly and put the grief seed in front of Kelly's soul gem. All the darkness in the soul gem disappeared and it shined bright green once again.
All of Kelly's wounds disappeared and she sat up and looked towards Melaine. "Lanie what happended?"
Nina looked around looking for Eliza's body. She was close to her when the witch disappeared so did Eliza. "Where is she?" Nina said looking down at her feet.
"She is gone...it's all for the best." Melanie said turning to Nina and holding out her hand. The purple aura once again appeared around Melanie's hand. She aimed it directly at Nina.
"Melanie what are you doing?" Nina gasped stepping back further away from Melanie.
Kelly looked up and attempted to sit up however Melanie put her foot on Kelly's back centimeters away from her soul gem causing Kelly being unable to move.
"You know you a women who is still on her path to maturity is called a girl right?" Melanie smirked as the aura around her hand got bigger. "Then it is possible that you all who are on their way to become magical beings called witches are called Magical Girls."
"Lanie what are you saying?" Kelly questioned looking at Melanie.
"Don't call me that immature childish nickname." The aura around Mel's hand got to it's peak. "I should let you become a witch but it would be to emotionally problematic for my sister to fight you." she said to Nina as she fired the heart shaped beam at her.
The beam hit Nina's soul gem shattering it to pieces. Nina fell to the ground as a lifeless corpse. Her magical girl outfit disappeared and she lied in her pajamas.
"Nina?" Kelly called out to Nina. Mel moved her foot off of Kelly's back and let her run over to her friend. "You killed her!" Kelly cried.
"You are too soft. A kind girl like you would never thrive as a magical girl." Mel sighed looking at her sister in disgust. "Too bad I need you."
Mel grabbed Kelly by the braid in her hair. She held it up to get a close look at Kelly's soul gem. Even though she had just used a grief seed to cleanse Kelly's soul gem it already appeared soiled. Mel put her free hand on the gem and plucked it off of Kelly's back. "As long as I have this I can be completely in control of you. That way I can make sure you don't do anything like try to kill yourself"
"Lanie please stop! You just killed someone! Why do you show no remorse?" Kelly sobbed.
"Your wish made me this way. It's all a part of your wish." Mel tugged on Kelly's hair harder. "I wish that as long as I am alive I want to protect her and her to be happy like she was as a kid. Even if it hurts me I want her to be happy." Mel quoted as if she were there at that moment.
"It's not right." Kelly covered her eyes with her hands and sobbed uncontrollably into them.
"You wished for me to be happy. As long as you are alive then I will be happy and that will cause my soul gem to remain bright forever." Mel smiled. "What a great big sister you are. As long as I keep you around I won't become a witch and this a great opportunity for the universe. With all this knowledge I got from my wish I can collect so much energy from so many witches but speeding up the despair of magical girls."
"No this isn't like you!" Kelly looked to her sister pleading her not to do this. "We can warn them we can help the girls before they decide to become magical girls."
"And become witches ourselves?" Mel rolled her eyes. "Think of the big picture, I figure we can turn dozens of girls into witches faster than they would have normally. This energy could extend the life of the universe longer than it would be without me."
"I refuse to help you Lanie!" Kelly exclaimed trying to get away but Mel's grasp on her hair was to firm.
"Didn't you hear me? Don't call me Lanie." Mel held out her other hand and made a small aura appear around her hand. "You know I was always jealous of your long hair. You looked after it so well. The people at the mental institution always cut my hair short so they wouldn't have to bursh so much hair." Mel smirked and shot a small beam from her hand that cut Kelly's hair braid. Because of the release of her hair Kelly lost balance and hit the ground.
"I can do much worse so don't you dare disobey me." Mel transformed out of her magical girl outfit and away.
"You just obeyed her!" Miyu said slamming her hand on the table.
"I had no choice." Kelly stirred the tea in her cup. "I needed to protect her even if it meant me suffering."
"It's still not right." Miyu muttered.
"It's to late for me to stop because of my wish as long as I am alive have to protect her." Kelly held out her soul gem to Miyu. "Thats why I want you to kill me. So both Lanie and I can be at peace."
"I am not going to kill you." Miyu stood up. "I'm going to destroy Alison's witch and destroy her grief seed. Then I will let myself fall into despair."
"No you can live longer if your careful!" Kelly said grabbing Miyu's arm.
Miyu looked at her soul gem. "I used Emily's grief seed to clean my soul gem. I will not use another girls soul to save me."
"You are just like Arzoo." Kelly briefly smiled. "Even though she was suffering so much she put on a big smile. I never saw her frown until her soul gem was about to get to courrpted and she begged me to break it since she didn't want to hurt anyone."
"You mean Arzoo wanted to die?" Miyu asked trying to remember any signs of despair.
"Yes. I begged Lanie not to let her become a witch. She was so young." Kelly wiped a tear from her eye.
"I don't want to hear anymore." Miyu looked down at her feet. "If you'll excuse me I have a witch to stop and a grief seed to destroy."
Kelly watched Miyu leave the apartment. She turned towards the window. "I'm surprised you didn't try to stop Miyu from breaking my soul gem."
"She wouldn't do it." Mel said walking in through the window. "I have dealt with many girls like her." Mel flicked her hair back. "Now if you are done I have some grief seeds to collect." Mel stood up and jumped out of the window and flew towards the direction Miyu was walking.
"I promise I will save you!" Kelly said holding her soul gems in her hands.
