DISCLAIMER: Ojamajo Doremi © Toei Animation, 1999-2004. Puella Magi Madoka Magica © Magica Quartet, 2011. I don't get any commercial benefit from this fic.

Author's Note: This is the alternate version of the original 'Unite the Two Angels', where Kyuubey successfully did his plan to make the Puella Magi killed the Fighter Witches. We also can assume this as the prequel of the mentioned fic, because the story of this fic is about Homura's reason to become a Puella Magi. That's why, I named this fic as 'Timeline Zero'.

Prologue

"Well, now we understand about your reason, but… I just still don't understand about what you said before this. You said that… the witches' attack there is so different with their attack here. What does it mean? Can you describe it?"

'I must do something to save you, Doremi-mama.'

"I know it. At least, four of us can go to school together again."

"Sounds not bad for me, but how can those Puella Magi agree to kill us?"

"No, we don't need it. I'll call you all whenever Majokai need your help."

'Maybe we can share some snacks someday…'

"Well, at least, that's what I see there. I think we should beware of them."

'The real miracle won't ever lost its shine because of any reason…'

"At least, you didn't meet someone who pretends to know everything. She even thought that we had already killed Gertrud."

'Then, since today, they tried to withdraw themselves from us… Now, how can I and the others tell them the truth…'

"Mami-san… was killed, and that's because of you five, you bad witches!"

"Well, we did want to help, but didn't you see that she tied me far away from the center of the barrier? She refused our help."

"We fail to protect one of them…"

"I know it, Doremi-chan, but we don't need to feel sorry. We don't need to blame ourselves because it was her who didn't want to get help from us."

"They're Madoka-chan and Sayaka-chan! Ai-chan, we should help them."

"I don't think so, Doremi-chan. It's better if we avoid them and let them do what they want."

"Do you understand now? I'm not your enemy."

"No. Witches are our enemies, and so are their apprentices. We need to kill you!"

"They're… How can they brutally killed Doremi-chan like that?!"

"Sayaka-chan, Kyoko-chan, should we kill her like that? She didn't kill Mami-san…"

"But she let her boss killed Mami-san! How can you ignore that fact, Madoka-chan?"

"Now, they'll kill each other until all of those stupid witches are killed, then Walpurgisnacht will come and help me to do my evil plan."

"Alright, we don't have choice but to kill three of them for Doremi-chan's sake. If they can be that cruel, we should be more cruel than them."

"Let me show you who's the winner between us, evil witches."

"All of my mothers were killed… No!"

"If only I can save them here, I won't ever be lonely like this."

"Then, do you want to make a contract with me?"

.

"Homura-chan?"

"Eh?" I blinked my eyes as I realized that someone called me, "Why do you call me, Doremi-chan?"

All of us were at Doremi's house, right after we found out the truth about our Soul Gems. Kyuubey wasn't happy to see us fight the Magi Monster with Doremi and her best friends, so he tried to take our Soul Gems away from us.* Fortunately, Doremi and her best friends could get those gems back from him, but we were still shocked to find out that we were no longer humans. Sayaka even stated that we were just like zombies.

"Don't you want to share your reason to be a Puella Magi?" Doremi reminded, "We want to know all of your wishes."

"Oh, that…" now I just remembered that she did ask me and the others, and all of them were waiting for my answer, "I think my reason is a bit odd though…"

"It's okay. We just want to know about it," the redhead tried to persuade me, "Then, what's your reason?"

"Well, actually… I became a Puella Magi in the timeline where Kyuubey successfully did his evil plan to make all of you kill each other…" I explained.

"Hey, so actually, you're a… time traveler?" Aiko concluded, "But how did you know about Kyuubey's success to have you… no, to have Madoka-chan and the others killed us? You weren't a Puella Magi in that timeline, right?"

"Yeah, right after our conversation at the school rooftop about the witches, I tried to find out the truth about the previous timeline, then I found out that Charlotte killed Mami-san in her barrier and no one could help her," I added, "I also found out that Kyuubey also trapped Doremi-chan in Albertine's barrier like today, but… in that timeline, Madoka-chan, Sayaka-chan and Kyoko-chan killed her."

"Really? They killed me?" asked Doremi in disbelief, "That's awful. Fortunately, you could reset the timeline."

"Anyways, I think we should know about this timeline that you mention, Homura-chan," added Aiko, "Can you show us everything which happened in that timeline?"

"Of course, I can," I didn't waste my time to summon a large screen and used it to show everything happened in the mentioned timeline to them, "Let's see all of those together."
