(12 years later)(Mitsuo's pov)
"...And this is your homework for today, Mitsuo."
"Yes, sensei." I replied.
"Now, class dismissed!" My teacher said as he stood up and walked out of the sliding door.
I took a deep breath.
Its been...twelve years? Its been twelve years since I became Mistuo Kazuma, daughter of Kiryu Kazuma, the infamous dragon of Dojima.
Oh yeah, I was right. He was a yakuza. The chairman to be more exact.
I rubbed my eyes as I walked towards the bathroom. And that is exactly the reason I am getting home schooled. Father didn't want anybody to catch wind of me and...well, kill me you know.
So for the past 12 years, I have been inside this house. I barely even move to the garden.
During this twelve years, I have came to peace with the situation. I can call them father and mother without any problems since they are my father and mother and they have been taking care of me for the past twelve years. I have also...accepted the fact that I am a girl now...
Yeah...
I stood in front of the mirror and looked at the new me.
I am about 1.6 meters tall, slightly taller than my peers. I have silver neck length hair. The doctors said it's due to I have a deficiency in a certain pigment in my body but that really doesn't affect my health. I also have emerald green eyes.
I quickly splashed cold water on my face to wake myself up. After all, I have got training today.
Walking down the stairs into the underground gym, I smiled slightly. Because of a rigorous training schedule I put myself through, I am stronger and faster than your normal twelve year old. In fact, my father said I am about as strong as a 20 year old at this point.
All thanks to punching 1000 times at a metal bar, kicking 1000 times at a metal bar, doing 100 sit ups, push ups, squats, and pull ups, running 10km and pumping weights.
ON A DAILY BASIS.
Naturally, I didn't get to this when I was five. In fact I could barely punch 10 times without shattering my hand against the metal bar.
But I know.
I have to.
In order to have a chance to survive the Walpurgisnacht.
But through my unyielding perseverance, I managed to do it.
And I didn't go bald.
Which is nice.
Also, my father noticed my training and in fact, kind of funny to be honest, mistake me for taking an interest in the, ahem, "Family business."
So, he decided to teach me to fight.
Of course, due to the obvious fact nobody taught him the more professional fighting, what he taught me was in fact, street fighting.
And he is a hell of a good teacher.
By that I mean he literally beats the crap out of me every time!
But his hugs and rubs of medicinal cream makes up for that I guess.
But today to my surprise, he wasn't alone.
"Mitsuo chan!" A man with an eye patch, wearing a panther pattern coat said happily to me.
"Oi. Majima kun. Don't scare her." My father sort of grunted.
"Hello, Majima sama. What brings you here today?' I asked with a small bow.
He blinked a few times.
"Mitsuo chan, did you forget your own birthday again?"
...
"Ehehe...Maybe?" I rubbed my head and laughed sheepishly.
Both of them face palmed.
"Now that Majima sama you mentioned it, can I have my present?"
"Mitsuo! Behave!"
"It's fine. But Mitsuo...you have to let Majima sama examine how strong you are!" He waved his little finger at me.
"...So this is how it is going to be...All right, where are we doing this?"
"In the ring here, Mitsuo chan!" Majima said as he slid under the ropes of a boxing ring.
"Go easy on her, Majima." I heard my father mumble as I hopped over the ropes.
(Insert stardust crusaders)
I put my fists up and bobbing slightly on the balls of my feet as I watched Majima intently.
Always wait for your opponent to strike first if they are stronger. Your only chance of winning is through counter attacking and exploiting that opening.
Majima threw a punch at me.
Here it comes! I quickly stepped to the side and spun on my heels and yanked the arm forward before banging the elbow joint hard on my raised knee. Majima yelped in a mixture of pain and surprise. I quickly spun around with a round house kick to send him 2 meters back as I reverted neutral fighting stance.
His eyes glimmer slightly, as if a kid just found a new toy as he rubbed his elbow.
"Mada mada!" I yelled as I charged forward.
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!" I yelled as I unleashed a flurry of punches as fierce as a storm.
Yes, I actually practiced this attack, believe it or not. It is a surprisingly effective move, when executed correctly. You see, I aimed my punches in two places mostly. Head, and stomach.
Now, I attack the stomach because it is one of the more vulnerable bits of the human body. There are no bones to protect there. however, I attack the head to cause more disorientation since people's instinct is to get rid of what's right in front of their face.
However, this isn't it. After all, if you just go all out with this, you will be exhausted quickly. Unless you are a stand user.
I don't think that exists.
The trick that I have is, the blows I deal to the head is only about a tenth to the ones I deal to the stomach.
That way, I can save a lot of strength and punch continuously.
Although the blows dealt to the head isn't as hard as the ones dealt to the stomach. They are equally threatening.
Because you can't see when you are getting punched in the face, can you.
Poor Majima is my first test subject. It was quite funny to see him trying to intercept my punches except I am slightly faster. In half a minute, I managed to score a good dozen hits.
Suddenly, he stopped trying to block my attacks. Instead, he thrusted his palm straight towards my chest.
My eyes widened. Of course. All tactics are useless if you are ten times weaker than your opponent.
I felt getting hit by a sledge hammer in the chest as I was sent flying into a pillar. I sat on the ground clutching my chest. Some liquid surged out of my mouth. It tasted like blood.
"Hold it!" My father shouted as he rushed to me. "I told you to go easy!"
"Kiryu. Your daughter isn't making it easy for me to go easy!"
"Daijobu. Just some capillaries. It's fine. Let's continue." I said as I wiped the liquid from my mouth and swallowed the rest back down.
Majima lunged forward with punch. This time, I yanked his arm forward again and I pulled it to the ground. He almost lost his balance. I stomped on the hand and I hopped onto his shoulder. Flipping in the air, I did hand stand by grabbing his shoulders, and I knee dropped him in the back where the kidneys are located. With huge yell of pain, Majima fell backwards. As he did, I swung around and straddled him as he fell on his back.
"OraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOraOra!"I yelled as I whaled on his face. Soon he caught my fists as we just stared at each other as he tried to push me off.
Gritting my teeth, I shouted. "This is my final attack, Majima sama!"
"Eh?"
"ZEN HEADBUTT!" I yelled as I headbutted him.
"OW!" he shouted.
"ITAI!" I yelled.
"THAT'S ENOUGH FROM YOU TWO!" Father boomed as he peeled me off Majima. "Go to your mother, she'll patch you up."
"Yes. Father." I muttered as I walked upstairs. "Yare yare daze."
(3rd person pov)(stop music)
Kiryu watched as his daughter grudgingly climbed the stairs, smiling slightly.
"So what do you think, Majima."
"She's a natural, Kiryu. She's born to fight. I almost gave it all I have."
"Hmm."
"The group down south is getting restless."
"I know."
"...Kiryu." Majima said as he walked up to Kiryu. "What are you going to do about Mitsuo."
"..."
"There is no way getting her out of this. Being the daughter of the third chairman of the Tojo Clan and the daughter of the dragon is enough to make her a target for everybody."
"...That's why I am training her to be prepared for the burden."
"Boss-" Majima's went wide open.
"I have made my decision, Majima. If anything happens to me, Mitsuo will inherit my position."
"But she isn't ready."
"Which is where you come in. You will assist her. If she doesn't want do something, you will do it for her. Help her, guide her."
"Kiryu..."
"I would not let those other families take over my clan!"
"..."
"Please, Majima. Help me. As a friend."
"...Of course."
"If she doesn't want to do the job, do it for her until she turns 18. Let us the adults shield her as much as we can. We will bear the burden of the world for her as long as we live."
"You are right boss."
(Mitsuo's pov)
"Look at you!" My mother rambled as she treats my wounds. "Can't you just be more careful?"
"Ow! But Majima sama is so strong! You should see him!" I grumbled.
"Yare yare. Whoever becomes your boyfriend is going to have a tough time."
WHAT?
"Uh...mom? Isn't this a bit too early for that?"
"It's never too late to think about it~"
"Stop it!"
Just in time, Majima came upstairs.
"Mitsuo chan!"
"Damare. (Shut up.)"
"Don't be so cold! I got your birthday presents!" Majima said as he handed me a package.
"Thank you, Majima sama!" I replied happily before rushing into my room.
(A few minutes later...)
"Mitsuo...you look surprisingly handsome in this." My mother answered in a funny way.
I am currently wearing a white suit jacket, white suit pants, a black shirt, a white tie, white military styled boots and a white fedora. I am rocking a pair of black aviators and a pair of black finger-less gloves with holes on the back to expose the back hand.
...
I mean, this is nice.
But isn't this too...yakuza-ish?
MIND YOU, MY MOTHER WAS A COP!
"Majima sama. This is the best gift I ever had! Thank you so much!" I said, cracking my knuckles slightly.
My mother face palmed and groaned. While dad and Majima started to laugh.
"Look boss! She is totally ready!"
Yare yare daze.
(Time skip to later)
"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Mitsuo. Happy birthday to you!" My parents sang as I knelt and made my wish.
This warmth...Is soothing.
I like it.
My wish...is to stay like this forever.
And I blew out the candles.
Unknown to me, my quest and my nightmare, began today.
(Late at night)
Its been twelve years since I came to this world. During this twelve years, I barely left the garden of the house. My parents were so scared of me getting hurt that I am pretty much banned from leaving it.
I understood them, so I acted like a good kid and stayed.
But...
I am sorry mom and dad.
I have to go one day.
I...have a few people...I want to save.
I then drifted into a sleep.
(Dream)(Play magia)
Where am I?
Everything is so dark, save for a light source in front of me.
I looked down. Wait, why am I featureless? I can only see the shape of my hand but everything is white.
Then I looked ahead. There is something moving forward.
Is that...Madoka?
There is no doubt that the person moving forward towards the light is Madoka. I recognize the hairstyle.
Without even thinking, I jogged forward.
Soon, I noticed a girl standing next to Madoka as she walked past her. From the shape, I could tell that it is Sayaka, the blue haired girl looking down, tears dropping.
Again without thinking, I reached out and held her chin up with both hands and wiped the shimmering tears away. I then pulled her into a hug.
He face became clearer as her expressions and facial features appeared. She looked mystified. But soon, her eyes, focused and she gave me a firm nod before following me as we jogged forward.
The next person is Kyouko. She is standing next to the path, looking towards the light. I patted her shoulder without even realizing, she looks startled, but I held her hand tightly. Soon, she gave me a grin of assurance as she joined next to me and we continued.
Next is Mami. She sits on the ground, looking towards the light. I extended my hand towards her. She hesitates, but she took it and jogged next to me.
Next one is...Homura with the two pig tails and glasses I think? She is frozen in a position as if she is trying to stop someone from going. As we approached, she turned around. I tried to interact with her, but my body just moved on on its own. She tried to stop me, but I moved on, leaving her behind.
But not even three steps forward, my body stopped, and I dashed back towards Homura. Interestingly, this time it is the cold Homura without pig tails and glasses. I didn't speak. I just yanked her and forced her to come with me. She resisted at first, but soon, she jogged- no- sprinted forward. We all did as we sprinted after Madoka.
Soon, the light is gone. But we didn't care, we sprinted onward.
I then saw Madoka, a few meters away kneeling in a prayer position, an orb of light glowing. My body lurched forward as I ran past Madoka and shoved her back, interrupting her whatever she's doing.
I then stopped for a few seconds and then stepped up. There are stairs but I can't see but I know they are there. I walked up. I noticed that the quintuple color team didn't follow me. But I didn't care.
I think I am burning. It's so hot. But I kept moving forward.
I soon reached the end, because I stopped and reached forward and I touched something. I felt myself grinning.
Then, I reeled back, and punched as hard as I could.
With a thunderous crash, In this dark world, white cracks start to appear as light shimmers through.
And then the entire world shattered, filling everything with light and I fell.
I landed on the ground with a thud. I tried to get up, but I couldn't.
I lifted my head up. I now see the corridor back. Numerous dark silhouette of girls were next to the path. I turned my head around, and saw that the raised platform is gone. But the path continued. I saw numerous magical girls in their uniforms. Suddenly, all of them changed into their casual wears. They all smiled at me.
"Thank you."
That's what I heard from them.
I don't know why but I feel accomplished and relieved and I just want to sleep.
Suddenly, I hear footsteps gather around me quickly. Soon five...tearful faces surrounded me.
It is them, now in their casual clothes
Why are they crying?
I did something! I am not a failure! Why aren't they happy? Isn't it time to celebrate?
I saw Sayaka tried to kneel and pray but nothing happened.
Suddenly, Kyouko shoved them away and lifted my head up gently as she sat down and rested my head in her laps as she stroke my hair.
The warmth is intoxicating. Sleep calls to me. My eyes met hers as she gaze longingly at me.
Why?
But I don't want to think anymore.
I am tired. It's like finishing a tough job where you just don't want to even think, you just want to sleep.
Yeah. I am tired. I started to close my eyes.
Faint screaming came from around, but it doesn't stop me from resting.
The last thing I see is Kyouko's beautiful face descending towards me.
And then everything is gone.
...
WHAT THE HELL?
WHAT WAS THAT?
Never forget your promise.
Never forget your quest.
Wishes and Fates rest on your shoulders.
Do not.
Disappoint.
Yourself.
Tonight, you will get the power.
If you make the right choice.
And then I woke up with a start.
(3rd person pov)(Stop music)
Unknown to Mitsuo, five other girls also woke up with a start.
Tonight, their fates become intertwined.
(Mitsuo's pov)
Pain is the first thing that came to my mind.
Then is the smell of...napalm?
I opened my eyes.
To my horror, a katana is stabbed through my stomach, nailing me to the floor. A sticky flammable gel stuck to my body.
...
Please wait for my brain to process what happened...
...
OUR HOUSE WAS BREACHED?
AND I AM GOING TO GET TORCHED ALIVE?
...
SOMEONE HELP! I screamed internally.
I heard you.
A voice called to me. As something landed on my chest lightly.
Weakly, I looked down. And I saw this...creature.
It is a small, cat-like creature. It has white fur and four ears, one pair representing the average cat and the other similar to those of a rabbit's. It has red eyes and golden rings around its long ears. At the bottom of the ears, it appears that it is separated into three, along with a pink-white fade and three red ovals.
It's abnormal...other worldly...
What are you? I thought. Even though I already know the answer.
I am Kyubey.
I want you to form a contract with me and become a magical girl!
...
It's a trap!
...
But what other choices do I have?
...
Kyubey, tell me... how much emotional energy can I produce with regards of your kind's project of stopping the universe from self destructing in percentage wise?
...
Over 50% currently. We estimate you have the potential to grow to 80%. You are the strongest magical girl that has ever appeared. You are the most valuable specimen our kind has ever discovered.
...
Soga.
Of course. If I make the right wish, I could...
Sa, Say your wish!
I wish...to have the ability to destroy anything! ANYTHING! PERMANENTLY! Removing them from the present and the future! I can destroy anything, including concepts! IN ONE PUNCH OR KICK! CAN YOU GRANT ME THAT!
...
Interesting...our kind is willing to make this investment.
HOW MUCH CAN I STILL WISH FOR MAXIMUM!
...
You can still wish for something small, like a weapon of your choice.
THEN I WISH FOR THESE! I then pictured the weapons in my mind.
Your wish is granted. Kyubey said as it pulled the katana out of me. It then reached out with its long ears and touched my chest.
I felt myself burning, like something is pulling me outside.
I reached out instinctively, and in my palm is my soul gem, pure white, free of any specks.
Sa, now, do your pose and turn into a magical girl!
...
My pose?
Bah, whatever.
I then held my soul gem between my right hand fingers and did the Caesar pose from Jojo.
Finally I yelled.
"HENKEI!" (Transform!)
(Play Masked Rider Ex Aid Song 9 JUSTICE)
In a huge explosion and a gigantic pillar of white light.
I, Mitsuo Kazuma.
Became a magical girl.
I now wear a white suit jacket like a cape. Nothing but white bandages cover my torso. I am wearing white pants.
My weapons are a pair of engraved gauntlets that extended past slightly my forearm and ends in a blade like spike. There are some rotation devices at the wrist that seems to spin the top part of this gauntlet around. There are also some nozzles and tube openings at the end of the gauntlets. My armored greaves are also in a similar fashion. A white flaming aura surrounds me. A white star shaped pendant hangs from my neck.
A few masked men rushed into the room and saw me.
Kyubey, how strong am I?
You could lift some smaller witches.
How fast am I?
You can run at the speed of sound for 5 seconds.
How resilient am I?
Your skin can stop bullets that aren't sniper bullets.
I feel giddy.
"Hop on, Kyubey." The little animal obliged.
I then turned and sneered at my attackers.
"Sa! Let us count your sins!"
The men looked at each other in bewilderment.
One produced a machete and charged at me. I caught in with my hand, shook my head, and punched his head off.
"Eww...That's disgusting." I retched.
But I soon saw my dead mother next to me and all of those feelings disappeared.
Oh you guys...are gonna have an express ticket to the deepest parts of hell!
"SHI NE!( DIE!)" I yelled as the spikes on the gauntlets turned around and pierced them right through the eye.
They died quickly.
But it did nothing to sooth my rage.
Or stop my tears.
Mother...Father...
I will avenge you all...
(Time roll back to before the transformation)(3rd person pov)
Two girls are walking side by side along the road. One of them has very curly blonde hair, usually in twin drills. She has yellow eyes. She has beige skirt with black tips, and her top is a long-sleeved white shirt with puffs. In between her skirt and her top, she has a brown corset-like clothing garment. She also has a small brown hat with white fur coming out of it, as well as gray and white striped leggings, and black and yellow, knee-high boots. She's holding a percussion-lock rifled musket.
Walking next to her is another girl. She has long, pale red hair which is in a high ponytail tied by a black ribbon. She has a set of risen bangs which frame her red eyes. she wears a dark red dress with an opening for her soul gem and a mandarin collar. The borders of the dress are covered with thick white ruffles that cover the opening of her dress and go down to the back of it. She wears white arm sleeves that go halfway up her bicep, with black buttoned cuffs around her wrists. Underneath, she wears a pleated pink skirt and a black corset with white detailing. She wears tall red boots with white cuffs and white symbols, and black thigh-high tights. She also holds a gold spear with a crimson and silver spear head.
The two girls walked side by side up the hill along the streets, completely silent.
"...Mami san."
"Yes, Kyouko san?"
"Did you...have that weird vision too?"
"Yes..."
"What could that possibly mean?"
"For the 5th time Kyouko, I don't know."
"Gah!" The red haired girl known as Kyouko pulled her hair in frustration.
"Relax, Kyouko." Mami replied. "Just don't think too much about it. Come, we have a witch to kill."
Just then, the Kyubey suddenly said.
Mami san, look out! I have just contracted a new magical girl!
"That's a good thing right? I mean, that just means we have a potential ally!"
"Or another selfish bastard that is going to try and rob our grief seeds." Kyouko muttered, earning her a swat from Mami.
Either way, she is a strong magical girl! She is the strongest magical girl ever existed! I can't believe how good my fortune is! But she is stronger than you two combined! Be very careful around her! Whatever you do, DO NOT make her your enemy.
"...On second thoughts, maybe we should just give her our grief seeds to her." Mami said dejectedly.
"EH? MAMI SAN! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! WELL I AM NOT GOING DOWN WITH A FIGHT!" Kyouko shouted as she gripped her spear tightly.
Kyouko san, I don't believe that is wise. Her personality is...what you would call, punch first, ask questions while punching, punch some more after questioning.
"Well, ain't she a feisty one. I think I might like her. Tell me more." Kyouko grinned.
Kyubey is just about to reply but suddenly, clouds start to gather around above a house that is merely 10 meters away. The clouds surged and swirled around the house. Strong winds start to form and lightning crackles from the sky. The two girls opened their mouths in awe.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?"
WHEN MAGICAL GIRLS TRANSFORM FOR THE FIRST TIME, THEY CAN INVOKE RESONANCE WITH THE SURROUNDINGS. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SHE CAUSED SUCH A BIG RUCKUS!
Soon, a huge pillar of white light erupted.
It took almost a full minute for the storm to die down. When it finally did, Kyouko and Mami looked at each other.
"So, Mami san. What do we do now?"
"...Let us meet-" Soon distant sounds of painful cries, crashes and occasional yells of Ora are heard.
"On second thought, let's wait for her to vent her steam before doing anything."
"...I second that." Kyouko, rather abnormally, agreed.
(10 min later)
"Mami san, I think she cooled off."
"Good. Let's try and make a peaceful conversation. No sudden movements. Let's keep this one slow and quiet."
The two approached the house slowly.
The first sign of struggle is two large vans crashed through the front door.
The second sign of struggle is the gory hell in the garden as they past through the front gate.
There were about eight men dressed in black all lying around, scary pools of dark blood around them. Each of them have something important for the body torn out. Missing heart, heads etc. In the middle is a body- no. In the middle, is two chunks of flesh that probably was a single person dressed in purple robes. You can't make anything out past that point since...there isn't much of him left.
It was difficult for Mami and Kyouko to not scream at the carnage to say the least.
"How...could someone possibly do this?" Kyouko stammered quietly.
"I don't know. Maybe we should forget about this witch and magical girl and leave..." Mami said, as she slowly inched towards the door.
Kyouko shook her head rapidly. "No, Mami san. She needs our help. What if she is badly hurt! Are you going to stand back and let her die? She is like you! She probably was in danger so she made a contract to save herself! We must find her!"
"...You are right, Kyouko san. I am sorry I suggested such a preposterous idea. Let us proceed."
The two magical girls tip toed into the house. The sight isn't much prettier. More people in black were lying on the ground. one of them is even torn apart in the kitchen. His intestines spilled across the floor like a pile of mush.
After seeing this, Kyouko quickly stored away her pocky bars.
"Let's check the west room. The light pillar is from there." Mami whispered.
The two fumbled their ways towards the west room. Again, nothing but dead bodies. But in this one there is an extra female corpse.
"...That must be the mother." Kyouko muttered.
"We must hurry. We don't have time to be quiet. Find her!" Mami said to Kyouko.
The two nodded in agreement. However, they searched the top floor, and they didn't find the girl.
"Mami san! Down here!" Kyouko said as she found a trap door on the ground. "There's a basement. It's so dark!"
"Be careful! Maybe there are more people in black down there!"
"Yes, yes."
The two crept down the stairs. Mami tripped on something and almost shot at it. But the glow of her soul gem showed her that this is just another dead person.
"Mami! Look!" Kyouko whispered as she pointed towards the corner of the room. There, next to a small cot, is a soul gem with a really dark swirl.
"Mami! Pass me a grief seed! She's going to run out of time!" Kyouko said as she rushed towards the soul gem.
"Oh! ok!" Mami soon followed.
Just as Kyouko picked up the soul gem.
With a click, the lights turned on.
Temporarily blinded by the light but out of instinct, Mami spun around towards the sound.
There, leaning against a wall, stood a girl about 1.6 meters tall, roughly 12 years old. She has silver hair, blood shot emerald eyes, dressed in a blood splattered black suit. She is pointing two engraved revolvers at Mami and Kyouko's soul gems.
The two girls instinctively dropped their weapons in panic.
The girl said nothing but continue pointing the guns at them. Seconds later, her gaze softened and with a clatter, she dropped the revolvers and slid down the wall.
"MAMI, THE GRIEF SEED NOW!"
Mami quickly handed Kyouko the grief seed and she purified the soul gem back to its sparkly white form.
Meanwhile, Kyouko also checked the girl if she had any injuries. Apart from a scar on the abdomen that is already healed, she didn't have a scratch on her. Kyouko sighed in relief. She carried the girl upstairs to the relatively less battered and bloody bathroom and started to scrub her clean of the blood and grind.
"...You really are better with kids." Mami suddenly said as she entered the bathroom.
"Heh, having a little sister does help in times like this."
"Anything thing I can help?"
"Yeah, find out more about this. I mean, this doesn't look like a normal homicide does it."
"I just did. I can confirm this isn't a witch's work. None of these bodies have the witch's kiss."
"This family is also quite a mystery isn't it? I mean, they've got to be pretty important people if they got attacked by such a large group people, right?"
"Probably. I also found a suitcase downstairs filled with clothes, bathing supplies, food and other things. She must have been packing up." Mami sighed. "And you know what I also found?"
"Huh?"
"Guns. There is a gun locker downstairs. There are few hand guns and sub machine guns. Even a couple of grenades and flash bangs. She is also using guns. Another thing also worries me."
"What is is it?"
"...You know she killed all of them right?"
"...At this point, yeah. That's kind of obvious."
"The way she killed them...is brutal. Some of them have their heads missing...not from a gun blast, but more like ripped off. One of the bodies we saw in the kitchen one torn into two halves! She's a monster!"
Then, before Kyouko could answer, the sound of a pump being pumped came from behind her.
"While that is true, I still don't appreciate you bad mouthing behind my back, Miss uninvited." a calm, almost cold voice said to Mami.
Mami instinctively created a rifle, pointing it at the girl now awake.
A silver gauntlet reached out next to Kyouko. From this distance, Kyouko could see that the design of the gauntlet is an odd one. It is a large one, covering up the entire forearm. There appears to be three layers of contraptions. The outermost layer is a long metal rapier like blade that points backwards towards the elbow. At the front of it, is a pretty big hole. the second layer is a rectangular metal box with six small holes at the end. The final layer is the gauntlet itself. However, even this isn't normal, since there are a row of 8 holes with a slightly larger hole above it.
"I suggest you not to move. This is inspired by the AA-12 shotgun, also known as the Atchisson Assault Shotgun. At this close range, I won't miss. Drop the weapon." The voice said.
"Well, you don't want to blow up your own soul gem accidentally do you." Mami replied shakily as she held out the white soul gem.
Boom! A thunderous noise came from the gauntlet. When the two magical girls recovered, they saw Mami's cap falling to the ground.
"It also fires AP slug shots. I am a crack shot too. Do you want to find out? Drop the gun."
"We'll see about that." Mami gritted her teeth as a rifle materialized right next to the white soul gem. "I wonder which one is faster? Your bullet, or mine."
Kyouko heard a small tch sound. Then a series of thunk sounds. Suddenly metal heads emerge from from the holes of the second and top layers.
"These are the SPIKE missiles and mini SPIKE missiles. I think it's a pretty small enclosed area that the detonation will kill us all, don't you think?"
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?" Mami shouted.
"How could one not be after what happened to me tonight! I lost everything! My family is dead! I have nothing to lose anymore! I'm not scared of anything anymore! What could possibly get worse! NOW DROP THE WEAPON!" The voice finally lost the calm and cool composure and yelled.
Slap!
"WILL BOTH OF YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF AND CALM THE FUCK DOWN!" Kyouko, finally had enough of the two, yelled as slapped them both in the face and pushed their weapons down.
...
The two stared at each other as Kyouko handed the girl the white soul gem as Mami silently protested.
"...I am sorry." The girl suddenly said to the two as she groveled on the ground.
"EHH?"
"After tonight's events, I assumed you were here to finish the job. So I over reacted. I am so sorry!" The girl continued to grovel.
"Hey! Get up!" Kyouko tried to pull her up, but she didn't budge.
"You helped me to purify my grief seed. But I tried to kill you! No number of words could describe how much guilt I am going through right now! I am so sorry!"
"...It's ok, I forgive you." Mami walked next to her and crouched and pulled her into a hug. Kyouko did the same.
A few minutes later, the girl snapped out of it and got back up.
"I feel much better now. Oh wait one second." She pulled out 3 pairs of rubber gloves and handed them out to Kyouko and Mami. "Please put them on." The girls found it quite weird but obliged.
"Now let's introduce each other again. I am Kyouko Sakura. I am 14 years old and I am a magical girl like you!" Kyouko grinned.
"I am Mami Toemoe. I am 14 years old. I am also a magical girl."
"I see. Nice to meet you two. I wish we met under better circumstances."
"What's your name?" Kyouko asked.
"...Unfortunately I can't tell you my name right now. You can call me Silver."
"Huh, why?"
"Because just the fact you knowing my name would bring you endless trouble. Although I think you can handle them, I don't suppose your family could."
"Just who are you? How are you so important that so many people want you to be dead?"
"Irrelevant." The girl said as she floated out side before cursing. "I don't suppose any of you girls know illusion magic?"
"Oh! I do!" Kyouko jumped up.
"Perfect! If you could just float out here and cast an illusion magic so it looks like the front gate is intact that would be perfect.
"All done. But what are you so careful for?" Kyouko asked in bewilderment as she castes the illusion.
"I am trying to buy myself more time to clean up the evidence." The girl floated back with two crystal glasses filled with water. "Here, I hope you can push down your puke with this. I would offer you food, but I don't think you would want to eat anything right now. Also, don't move outside of the bathroom. If you do, please float." Silver said as she flew back out.
"..."
"..."
"...Let's follow her." Kyouko said to Mami.
"Agreed."
The two followed Silver to the studies where they saw Silver pulling open a floor board, revealing a safe. She punched in a code and opened the hatch. There she took out a small piece of paper and read intensively, before tearing it to small pieces and stuffing it down her throat.
"Jeez, I didn't know that she is that hungr- Ow!"
"Not now, Kyouko."
Then the girl pulled out a silver brief case and gingerly opened it.
"Feel free to take as much as you want." Silver pushed the brief case to the two.
"Woah..." Kyouko exclaimed. There is so much money in the case! And not just yen, dollars, pounds and other currencies too. There are even gold bars and nuggets. Some jewelry, some diamonds, both cut and uncut. There is enough money in there for someone to live a whole life!
"They are completely untraceable."
Maybe just a diamond won't hurt...Kyouko thought as she inched closer. But Mami stopped her.
Why did you stop me! Kyouko thought.
It's obviously her parent's money for her to sustain herself! Mami thought back.
...You are right.
"...you sure you aren't going to take anything?" Silver asked as she pulled out a suit case and opened it and checked the contents. She soon tossed out a passport. Kyouko picked it up and read it.
"...Haruna Shion?"
"...That's someone I choose not to be." Silver said as she threw a mask on the ground. 'Are you sure you aren't going to take anything?"
"No. It's wrong."
"Suit yourself." Silver said as she closed the suitcase. "Pile up everything that has blood, they have to be disposed of."
"Uh...we don't actually where them. These are just our uniforms."
"...Good point." Silver said as she reached down into the safe one last time and pulled out a rather battered looking briefcase. She opened it, revealing a case full of c4s.
"I am going to install this. Take whatever you want from the house." Silver said as she stuck a c4 to the wall of the safe. "Because I am never coming back. Whatever is left behind is going to get torched and destroyed. Just leave the closet alone." she then left the room.
...
"WAIT, YOU ARE GOING TO BLOW UP THE HOUSE!?" Kyoko shouted
"My parents told me do that. If they tell me to do that, it must mean something."
"Why am I in this mess...I thought this was just a simple witch extermination..." Mami whimpered.
Minutes later, Silver reappeared dressed in a white suit and a pair of sunglasses with a white fedora.
"I am leaving by air now. You should do the same." Silver said as she sloshed some liquid on the floor.
"What's that?" Kyoko asked.
"These guys brought napalm. Well, at least it came in handy to destroy evidence."
"These bastards!"
"Well, my family isn't the best in the world either. Actually, they would be on the other end of the spectrum."
"Eh?"
"Doesn't matter. Let's go." Silver said as she pulled her suitcase outside. She's holding a makeshift Molotov cocktail in her other hand. Mami and Kyoko followed her into the garden. Silver fumbled something out of that robed corpse and looked at the once her home for 12 years.
"..."
"What, aren't you gonna leave?"
"...I have been living here for 12 years. For 12 years, I have been a hermit. I have never set foot outside of the garden. My parents said that when I turn 18 they will let me out for college. It's just...I can't believe that the first time I leave the house is under this kind of circumstance." Silver said with a bitter laugh. Pain clearly seeping through.
"...Actually, you are the first people that I have met apart from my home tutor and my father's friends in 12 whole years."
"Seriously?"
"Why would lie about that. Sa, time to go." Silver said as she flew into the air. Mami and Kyoko followed as Silver took out a golden cigarette lighter and lit the rag of the Molotov cocktail.
"Dump your gloves on top of the house." Silver commanded as she threw her rubber gloves down. Mami and Sayaka obliged, deciding that she is the professional in this kind of thing.
"Cover your ears, this is gonna be a loud one." Silver said as she threw down the bottle. As the bottle descended and landed on the napalm, she pressed the detonation button.
In flash of bright white and orange light, the house erupted into fiery hell. Even this high up in the air, Kyoko and Mami can feel the heat.
Silver is flying next to them, looking down at the hell fire. Kyoko noticed that there is something missing from her eyes. It's just...it's as if she's looking at a dead person. Yeah, that sounds about right. She is missing life.
Without a word, Silver turned and flew towards a nearby mountain top. Mami and Kyoko followed. When they arrived, they see Silver still looking towards at the fire as sirens wailed.
"...So, how do you feel?" Out of awkwardness, Kyoko asked.
"How do I feel...I mean, I am in grief and pain. But at the same time, I finally got out of the house. I got this amazing power, and I get to meet you girls. I know, it sounds heartless, but I am going to say mixed." Silver replied softly.
"That's understandable. Tonight is an eventful night for you." Mami replied. "So, what do you plan to do next?"
"...That is none of your concern. Let's talk about that grief seed. So, thanks to your grief seed, you purified my soul gem. Now I can repay you by giving you the grief seed the next one I hunt, which is right now. Do we have a deal?"
Mami and Kyoko looked at each other.
"Actually, we are satisfied if you could join us on our extermination right now." Mami replied after a small cough.
"That's it? I'm down with that." Silver said as she took out her soul gem to find the witch. To all of their surprise, the soul gem glowed brightly. "Huh...look like we are in luck." Silver said as a beam of white light shot at an empty space, revealing a shimmering portal.
"Well, what are we waiting for?"
"..."
"Aren't you going to transform, Silver?"
"...I was afraid you asked that." Silver sighed as she held her soul gem between her right hand fingers. "Whatever happens next...don't laugh."
Mami and Kyoko:"?"
Just then, Silver quickly held her right hand up with the soul gem and held it over her face. her left elbow shifted outwards and her waist also bends slightly towards the left.
"HENKEI!"
Then, in a pillar of white light, Silver transformed.
"..."
"..."
"Chunibyo."
"Chunibyo desu ne."
"SHUT UP!" Silver yelled as her face turned to bright red.
'PFFFFTHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Kyoko literally fell over on the ground rolling around and laughed. Mami is trying to hold it in to no avail.
"DAMARE!"
"How do I put it...it is...unique to say the least." Mami squeezed out a sentence.
"That is Chunibyo!"
"Kyoko. Enlighten me. We are magical girls. We have special powers. So why can't we act different?"
"..."
"..."
"She has a point." said Mami.
"But why-"
"JUST SHUT UP! BEFORE I GET ANGRY!"
"Oh aren't you a cutie, what are you gonna do?" Kyoko said as she pulled Silver's cheeks. But then, now that she had a clear view of the girl, she realized that Silver is near identical to the girl she saw in her vision.
"Have we met before?" Kyoko asked suspiciously.
"I told you. I wasn't allowed outside for 12 whole years. How could I have met you?"
"Hmm...Weird..."
"Ahem...Can we hurry this up? I have school tomorrow." Mami coughed softly.
"You are right..." Silver replied before running into the portal.
(Mitsuo's pov)(insert a random barrier music)
You know, I never liked barriers.
Not because they house dangerous familiars and witches.
But because IT LOOKS LIKE A PICASSO PAINTING.
AND A VERY BAD ONE.
MY EYES HURT.
This barrier is incredibly...dark. Everything is monochrome where it is mostly black.
This sent a shiver down my spine. I feel like...this place is trying to swallow us whole.
"Ew...What kind of barrier is this?" Kyoko complained.
"I don't know. This place gives me bad vibes." I replied grimly.
It's not that I can't beat it, it's just it feels like despair.
"Please proceed with caution. It's so dark that we can barely see past 20 meters." Mami said seriously.
"Wagata, sento kaishi. Silver, Mokuhyō o hakai suru. (Understood, entering combat. Silver, destroying targets)." I replied coldly as a few feline like creatures appear. (see Ulla for reference).
"Go on then, rookie. Show us what you can do!" Kyoko stood behind me, relaxing as she crossed her arms.
Oh I'll show you.
"Ute! (Fire!)" I shouted as I launched a mini SPIKE missile. Of course, the familiars stood no chance against a weapon of mass destruction.
"Ah, Die Wunder moderner Waffen. (the wonders of modern weaponry.)"
"Hey! That takes no skill and that is cheating!" Kyoko seemed slightly unhappy about how I cheesed them.
"Ok, fine no missile. Ugh, such a kill joy." I muttered.
"Silver, what position do you think you are in a team?" Mami asked. I thought about it for a second.
"If you ignore my magic, I could be a long to mid ranged blaster, a mid to close range and close ranged damage dealer. But if you count in my magic, I could be a tank."
"EH? How could you cover so many positions?" Kyoko asked.
"Think about this. My magic missiles can be used as a long ranged weapon. My ap slug shot can be used from mid to close range for huge damage. My shot gun gauntlets cause mayhem at close range. And my rapier/blade can be used at a mid close range."
"What do you mean magic missiles?"
"Oh these shells and missiles are conjured from magic. But that is not my magic."
"Kyoko, what she means is like this. My magic is binding, but I can create guns." Mami explained.
"Wow! Mami san you are so knowledgeable!"
"Hehe, I aim to impress."
"But what is your magic, Silver?" Kyoko asked.
"...Trust me, if I need to use my magic, it means we are in big danger." I replied.
"Still being the mysterious one, huh." Kyoko frowned slightly.
"I pray that we don't meet something that requires my magic." I mumbled. "It costs a lot of mana."
"Is it super powerful? Like a Kaboom?"
"...You could say it's powerful, but it isn't a kaboom."
"Man, how did you get these cool stuff and I get the stupid illusions." Kyoko pouted slightly as another Kyoko emerged.
"Yours isn't that bad. There isn't bad magic, there is just bad magic users. Failing to apply their magic at the right place in the right way is their own fault, not the magic's."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean! You want to go?" Kyoko said angrily. My lips twitched up slightly.
"Try me."
"Why you-"
"That's enough from you two! We are still in a barrier remember?" Mami said as she stepped between us.
"Right. Hey, Kyoko senpai."
"Hmm, Silver kouhai?" Kyoko looked at me.
"Want to see who can get more kills?" I challenged with a grin.
Swallowing her last bits of pocky. She grinned.
"Of course!"
"Last place gets..."
"Buys the winner more Taiyaki!" Kyoko said while smiling.
Seeing her smile made my heart skip a beat.
It is true that 12 years of being a hermit dulled my concept of outside world so much that I forgot that I am in the world of madoka magica.
If it weren't for today, I would probably be still in this delusional dream of a happy family.
My quest...
To save them...
To maintain their happiness...
I will not fail you!
I pushed off into the crowd of familiars and lashed out with a sweep kick with the rapier end, cleaving a half circle. Using the momentum and pivoting on a hand, I sweep kicked with the other leg and started to do the Thomas Flare, taking out huge numbers of familiars. I found myself rather enjoying this. If not for the horrible truth behind the creation of witches, I genuinely believe I might like this job.
Soon, tired of spinning, I decided to try something new. Leaping up, I stomped down and smashed my fist into the ground, creating a small crater about 5 meters radius and 30 cm deepest. I find myself giggling. I am fascinated by my new power. My new strength. I could do so much more. I have so much more potential!
Stop.
What was that? Why did I think like that? I...
I don't know.
I don't know anymore.
...
I need to restrict myself. I will use my power for my quest. This power is used to combat the witches and Kyubey.
I stopped showing off and concentrated on killing more familiars.
A few minutes past and Kyoko called out to me.
"Yo, Silver kohai!"
"Yes, Kyoko senpai!"
"How many have you killed?"
"Honestly, I haven't been keeping count."
She laughed.
"Well, guess what? Neither have I! Guess we both lost! We have to buy each other Yaki!"
I smiled as well. "I guess so."
"Hey, have you two noticed this? Every time we kill a familiar, the place becomes slightly lighter." Mami called.
She's right. It's like we are dispelling darkness bit by bit...
"Well, that is the last familiar." Kyoko said as she planted her spear into the last creature.
"Now, where is that witch? There is only one room in this labyrinth." Kyoko scratched her head.
"How are we doing on soul gems?" I asked.
"Mine is kinda cloudy." Kyoko said checking her soul gem.
"I am not faring better either. There were quite a number of familiars." Mami called down from above. "How are you doing, Silver?"
Checking my star pendent, I replied quickly. "Not a single speck!"
"Wait what?" Kyoko quickly scurried over while panting heavily. "You gotta be kidding me." She said as she pulled me by the pendent to take a closer look, causing me to crash into her.
"Ow! But you are right! Your soul gem is sparkling! So you didn't use magic at all?"
"Not at all!"
Kyoko then placed her palm against my forehead.
"You weren't even sweating! How?" Kyoko shouted in disbelief. "You mean you just killed that many familars using only physical power? Just how strong are you!"
"A lot stronger than you believe."
"Even if your physical attributes gets enhanced when you turn into a magical girl, this doesn't explain why you are so strong!"
"When your daily routine consists of punching 1000 times at a metal bar, kicking 1000 times at a metal bar, doing 100 sit ups, push ups, squats, and pull ups, running 10km and pumping weights starting at the age of 5 and never one day fell behind schedule, you become strong."
"...You are crazy."
"You have to find stuff to do to pass time while getting stuck in the same house for 12 years."
"What kind of parents lock their own kids for 12 years!"
"...I can't answer that."
"You are weird, you know. Like look at outfit you are wearing! It looks nothing like a magical girl! You look like a delinquent looking for a fight!"
"Aren't we supposed to fight witches though?" I retorted.
"..."
"Shut up! You know what I mean!" Kyoko shouted as her face turned red out of embarrassment.
"Well, from what Kyubey told me, the form we appear in is the form where we think we are the strongest. We basically subconsciously made our magical girl uniforms."
"That doesn't make sense why you are wearing a delinquent outfit! Also are you even wearing anything under that bandage?"
"No why?"
"HAVE YOU GOT NO SHAME?" Both of them yelled at me while blushing furiously.
"Unless you two have interesting sexual preferences I fail to see what the big deal is. It's not like I am going to wear this to anywhere else."
"...Are kids all this mature these days?" Mami muttered.
"Plus." I added sadly while looking down at my feet.
"I have nothing to hide."
Silence...
Me and Kyoko turned towards Mami, the only one here that has a bust size larger than A.
Mami: ?
"...I feel you." Kyoko whispered as she patted my shoulder.
...Only darkness swallows us all when we least expect it.
Suddenly, all of the hair on my back stood up.
Something is watching us, and it is about to strike.
I frantically searched around.
Where, where, where!
It's so dark that I can't see anything!
"Something wrong, Silver?" Kyoko noticed my change in demeanor.
I said nothing but closed my eyes.
Use your other senses, Mitsuo.
Sight isn't the only sense you have.
Sound, smell, touch, taste.
Breath...Release...Breath...Release...
Something warm is next to me. That is Kyoko. Something warm is above me, that is Mami.
There is also a faint hissing sound like gas leaking.
Now there is a faint sound of a rubber band being stretched back...
Where is it coming from...
...
ABOVE!
Without second thoughts, I tackled Kyoko to the floor.
"Hey! What the-"
Then it came.
I feel something whipping above my head, barely missing my hair.
With slap, the thing missed.
"WITCH ABOVE US! FAST! BLACK! CAN'T SEE! NEED LIGHT!" I yelled in quick succession.
Where now!
Hissing to my right. Growling.
Gripping Kyoko's shoulder, we rolled to the left quickly, barely escaping something chomping shut. Using the moment of the role, I sprung up and shot a SPIKE at it.
The orange ball of flames provided a brief moment of light. It...looks like just a shadow.
A shadow that could jump out and chomp you in one bite.
"MAMI! SUITCASE, COVER! 3RD POCKET, GLOW STICKS! BEND TO USE! NOW! KYOKO, FLY!" I yelled.
"Coming!"
Soon a dozen of green glowing sticks fell down from above as Kyoko soared into the air as our final enemy, the witch, appeared.
...
I wish there could be a more descriptive way of saying this, but really, it looks like a spiky black ball with arms and legs and tentacles. (for reference, witch Suleika, dark witch, nature is delusional)
"And you are an ugly mother fucker." I grumbled.
It wailed, its horrendous scream echoing inside the labyrinth, disorientating us.
"Grr...Oh SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I yelled angrily, not appreciating it trying to eat me alive. "KYOKO SENPAI, LET'S TAKE IT DOWN!"
"YOU GOT IT, SILVER! LET'S FINISH THIS EYE SORE!" Kyoko yelled as she plunged her spear into the witch from above before hopping down.
"Yay. Let's go...woohoo..."
...
Forget that.
The witch shot 3 spikes at me. Pathetic, even Majima san's fists are faster. I side stepped them with ease. I feel adrenaline kicking in as things for the first time ever in this barrier, started to get more intense. Grinning, I reeled back my fists as it retracted more spikes, reading for the next wave of attacks.
As soon as it shot out, I began my assault. And there is only one good way to do it...
And that, is with...
"ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!"
(Kyoko's pov)
Man finally! Things are heating up! I thrusted my spear repeatedly into the giant sack of dark matter. Oh! That was a close one, but I managed to parry a spike launched at me. Another one? Pfft, piece of cake. I summoned more spears to impale it. I wonder how the rookie is doing.
"ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!"
...
What in the world is she doing? Out of my curiosity, I slowly made my way around the spiked ball to see how Silver, my kohai is doing.
And...
To my dismay, she is doing perfectly fine!
She is, in fact, playing whack a mole with the spikes.
At a ridiculously high speed. Like I can barely see the spikes and fists.
She cuts a bit close sometimes, for example a few spikes came about 10cm close to her chest before getting intercepted.
But it is always that 10cm that never let any attack fall on her.
Looking back it her.
...SHE'S JUST SWEATING!
SLIGHTLY!
"Uh...hey, Silver." I called while fending off more spikes.
"Yeah, Kyoko senpai?"
"Does this...you know...hurt?"
"A bit."
"How did you-woah! cutting a bit close there!" I said as another spike got slightly too close for comfort.
"Well, excuse me for having only 2 arms while the witch has 20 spikes!"
"No-That's not what I meant! I mean good job!"
"Thanks!"
"Uh...how do you feel?"
"I feel wonderful!" She giggled. I then noticed a silver colored flaming aura burning brightly around her. I could also swear that I saw an outline of a dragon behind her.
"Saiko ni nai te yatze da! HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!" She laughed. (I am pretty sure you all know what this means)
...
She went completely off the rails.
"...As much as I found this fun..." She said after a few minutes. "I am kinda in a hurry right now. So...Uh...If you could hurry up and die that would be appreciated."
With that, suddenly, I can feel her releasing her strength-THAT STILL WASN'T ALL SHE HAD?
"ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!ORA!" She yelled as she walked forward towards the witch as she pushed the witch back.
Just watching her fight is a feast for the eyes. If you call her previous punches like a storm, her current punches are like machine guns, no, like a pile driver. Eighty percent of her punches lands at the same spot of the witch. The witch wailed loudly as she took the beating of a life time.
Suddenly, her fist flew towards me. I thought she was going to punch me!
Instead she punched a spike that was about to impale me.
"Please focus, Kyoko senpai." Silver said to my in a shrill voice.
"Y-yeah. I'll do that." I said as I tried to calm down after that near death experience.
(a few minutes later)
"HAHAHAHAHA! Sabaku no wa, KONO WATASHIWA DA! ( the one to judge you, it is me!)" She yelled as she suddenly landed an explosive punch on the witch as she sent the witch flying into a wall.
"Youwai, yowai." (weak, so weak). Silver said as she blew some dust off her gauntlets.
"Say, what is a Taiyaki, Kyoko senpai?" Silver asked.
"EH? You never had Taiyaki before in your life? Man, you are missing out so many things! It's a fish shaped cake with fillings inside. My favorite is red bean paste! After this witch let's go and get some!"
She smiled too. I see that the life in her eyes came back. Looks like my distraction worked.
My eyes widened as I saw a dark tendril whipping towards Silver's unprotected back.
"MOVE ASIDE!" I yelled as I pushed her out of the way and turned around.
Huge pain exploded across my back as I feel salty liquid surged forward, threaten to exit my mouth.
"KYOKO! (SENPAI!)" Two people yelled at me.
I felt Silver scooped me up and flew up.
"Mami senpai, I'll leave her in your care." Silver said in that cold and calm tone, but this time with a hint of anger...and guilt?
"What are you going to do?" I hissed as I struggled to not pass out from the pain.
She turned around.
"Watashi no hontō no chikara o miseru. (I will show you my true strength.)" She said as she casts her white overcoat away. I can now clearly see a lively silver dragon swirling around that silver flame aura that she has.
"Seigen jikō! (Removing inhibitors!)" She yelled.
(insert music. FIGHT-gundam 00)
Once again, the witch wailed. But this time, Silver yelled back. Instead of a human voice, she sounded more bestial...like a dragon's thunderous cry.
Her silver aura changed to a flaming crimson color. I can literally feel the heat irradiating from her. She is...glowing, somewhat. She is glowing red, except due to her rather pale white skin color it appears more like a pinkish red. Her neck length silver hair now stands up in the air. On her back, half concealed by her bandages is a tatoo of a dragon.
Holding both arms out towards the witch, her gauntlets detached from her hands and flew towards the witch, morphing into a pair of huge, glowing red hands and caught the witch between it.
Silver then hopped up before plummeting down to the grow, swing her fist down. I couldn't see because of the angle, but I assumed she punched the ground really, really, really, hard because the entire barrier shook.
Slowly the entire chamber became warmer and warmer to the point where it feels like I am sitting at the edge of a volcano.
Then the entire chamber start to glow brighter and brighter, exactly the opposite of when we first entered.
I see Mami's jaw hanging wide open. I wonder what she saw.
"Hey, Mami! Give me a hand!" I said as I stood up with difficulty.
Then I know why Mami wasn't responding.
The entire chamber we just fought in, is now a pool of lava.
I can barely breath now.
"These hands of mine are burning red with the glow of a forbidden power." Silver chanted. "Its thunderous cries compel me to annihilate you!" Silver, with a motion, directed the hands to descend. The spiky witch screamed and wailed, but she couldn't escape its grasp. The moment it touches the lava, its screams and wails became none stop. Smells of burnt flesh filled the barrier. Even with that, Silver's words are crystal clear.
"Kore o kanjiru! Watashi no ai! Watashi no ikari! Watashi no zetsubō! Soshite watashi no kanashimi no subete! (Feel this! My love! My anger! My despair! And all of my sorrow!)" Silver yelled as she appeared directly above the witch, fist raised in the air.
"Kudaire! (Take this!)" She swung her fist down.
"RASHOUMON!-DAI!-EN!-GI! (Great grudge of Rashoumon)"
With a loud thud, the witch disappeared into the lava, smothering her screams. As she sunk, two pillars of lava erupted with an explosion, creating a fiery gate as Silver walked back towards us.
(Stop music)
As soon as she reached where I am sitting, her reddish aura dissipated and her skin color returned to normal. She picked up her overcoat once more and wore it loosely as a cape.
As quickly as the lava came, it receded.
She walked in front of me and crouched down.
I braced for the worst. Is she going to hit me for making fun of her?
To my surprise, she pulled me into a hug.
"I am sorry, Kyoko senpai."
(Mitsuo's pov)
You fucked up.
You fucked up big time.
Yeah I did.
First, I wanted to test how strong the witch is so I ignored it's lash. Only for Kyoko to throw herself under the bus for me.
THEY MAY NOT HAVE NOTICED, BUT I THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO HIT THE SOUL GEM!
Next, I let my anger got hold of me and unleashed...that.
Yeah...Now I can only hope that they don't run away from me.
You have power that rivals a monster. And you acted like one.
They won't even stay near you now. You just blew away every chance of changing their fate.
Yeah...I did.
I could only hope that my apology was enough.
"...Why are you apologizing?" Kyoko asked, confused.
"As you saw...I am very strong. So I wanted to test how strong the witch is. I purposefully let that witch attack me. But Kyoko senpai, you took the hit for me...My arrogance and stupidity got you hurt, Kyoko senpai. It is my fault..." I muttered.
"...It's cool." She answered.
"Huh?"
"I said it's cool. I don't blame you." She smiled. "Though you could have warn me before hand because it really fucking hurts."
"But I didn't know that you would take the hit for me."
"Silly Silver." She flicked my forehead. "You are my kohai. I am your senpai. Senpai always look out for kohai. End of the story."
"...It doesn't change the fact that I got you injured."
"But I am alive and o- Ow! Ok, maybe minus the ok part." Kyoko winced as she start to use magic to heal her wounds. While Mami went downstairs to pick up the grief seed.
"Phew! Having magic sure is handy!" Kyoko grinned as she finished healing. "See? Good as new! I am fine."
"Kyoko san, I found the grief seed!" Mami came back up with the grief seed. "You should probably use that. Your soul gem is getting pretty dirty."
"Cheers Mami san." Kyoko said as she placed the grief seed near her soul gem. For some reasons, her soul gem has a much more vibrant shade of red than the one in the show.
Could this change be caused by her regret of her wish in show, causing her to have a more realistic but darker view on the world? Can she maintain her belief in this world?
No...it is impossible. Unless her father doesn't find out that she used her magic to draw people to his sermons, she will have a drastic change. Worst part is, I don't even know how to stop that.
I could maybe ease the impact. Like saving her family's lives, but it won't change too much...would it?
I stared at my now cloudy white star pendent.
And how long can i stay positive until I drift into despair because of this harsh world? How long could I remain "pure"?
Better question, if I interfere too much, would Homura find out the truth? If she did, will she tell them? If she did tell them, will they all drift into despair because their entire painful life is a mere story that was created by pen and ink and paper just so that it will entertain the audience sitting in front of a glass screen?
Will they fall into despair, if they knew that they weren't real?
Will Homura still have the will to go on if she knew that her "feelings" towards Madoka is fake?
"...hey...Hey...HEY!" Kyoko yelled.
"Huh?" I said as I snapped out of the trance.
"I said, take the grief seed. Your soul gem needs purifying."
"I can't do that. You used a grief seed on me, so I need to give one back to you. Actually two because I wasted your time for possibly getting an extra grief seed."
Kyoko rolled her eyes.
"Listen, Silver. You are my kohai. I am your senpai. It is natural for me to help you."
"But-"
"And also, you should listen to me because I am your senpai." Kyoko said as she placed the grief seed on my soul gem.
"...At this point, thank you doesn't even describe what you have done for me." I said, slightly emotional as I sniffed. "Is there any possible thing I could do to repay you?"
"You can start from getting us all all-you-can-eat Taiyaki buffet. Right, Mami san?" Kyoko gave me a toothy grin.
"Yes. I second that, I am getting quite hungry myself." Mami replied.
"Alright." I smiled for the first time tonight genuinely.
"..."
"..."
"Why are you looking at me? I haven't been outside for 12 years! I don't know where to get it!"
(Later at a cafe)
"Phew! That was delicious!" Kyoko said as she leaned back on the couch as she sat next to Mami.
"..."
"..."
"What?" Kyoko asked.
"Kyoko..." Mami said.
"...How on earth..." I continued.
"DID YOU EAT 20 SERVINGS OF TAIYAKI AND NOT GET A FOOD BELLY?" We both shouted.
"I...exercise a lot?" She answered sheepishly.
I gave her a dead panned look.
"...I don't know, ok? By the way, can I gave 2 more?" She almost whispered in the end.
Wait...she had a sister...
"...Ok. Waiter, two servings of Taiyaki please. Oh, take away please." I ordered.
"How did you know?" Kyoko raised an eyebrow and asked.
"You said you were full. So obviously it is for someone else. Your sister perhaps?"
"When did I-"
"Bathroom. I was awake."
"Oh...quite the observant one, eh? I wish Momo could be like you. That'll save me a lot of trouble." Kyoko laughed slightly.
"Not quite. If there is one thing that no one should be robbed of, it is their innocence." I pointed out quietly.
"How come?" Mami asked.
"It is the one thing in the world that you can't get it back."
"...Silver kohai, throughout this entire night you have been acting really shifty." Mami leaned forward with a glint in her eyes. "Perhaps you should explain yourself."
Kyubey set me up with a telepathic link with Mami Tomoe and Kyoko Sakura.
Done.
Also, privacy please.
Why should we grant you that?
Does my family life and their reactions concern you?
...It doesn't really. By the way, thank you for testing out our emotion to energy converter. Tonight's experiment is a great success. We only developed the converter for the concept of "Despair" and "Hope". We have never considered other emotions. Thank you for providing us with a break through.
How long will it be for you to be able to mass produce it?
Alas, our resources are running dry just to make the normal converter. This one would take a long time to mass produce.
You mean, until I turn into a witch and give off a lot of energy?
Eventually, yes. Right now, no. You are still going through the time period of puberty. If you turn into a witch now, we won't collect nearly as much energy if we waited for a few years. Although it is really tempting to do it now, It would be unwise. As you humans call it, killing the hen before it lays its eggs. That's an idiotic move and we won't do that. So, actually, stay happy and hopeful ! For the next 2 years at least. And then we'll see from there.
Working us to the bone. Exhausting our uses before tossing us away...How...logical.
You are certainly an anomaly among an anomaly. In the past those who found out about our plans and motives all acted hostile towards us. Yet you, understood the relationship and acted rather...neutral towards us.
I have no reason to be hostile. You proposed a business plan where you give us a product-the wish, and we pay with emotional energy. In my eyes, you are giving me a wish in exchange for junk that we are unable to process and utilize. Human life is short-only 100 years. And more than 80% life is filled with boredom and pain. It doesn't matter if I perish a few years earlier. It spares me the pain.
...Fascinating. Just the perfect individual that understands us! We have a proposal.
Speak, incubator.
Periodically, we will grant you the use of certain gadgets. We would like you to do some field testing.
What is my reward.
We could grant you smaller wishes.
Can I have one now?
Certainly, you just helped us field test a gadget. What do you want?
Portable spacial storage device that I could wear on my finger without raising too much suspicion. How big can you get me maximum?
...A quarter of the size of the satellite known to you as moon.
Perfect, I would like to wish for that.
Transaction complete. The ring is now in your suitcase. Thank you for your co-operation. We sincerely wish that we could turn this into a long term mutually beneficial relationship.
Like wise. Anyway back to the current matters. Privacy.
It is done. if you require our service, find the nearest incubator unit.
...
Just another pig waiting to be slaughtered. Except this one is allowed for better treatment for testing out modified pig food. Still another pig.
Mami senpai, Kyoko senpai, can you hear me?
Mami: Silver? Did Kyubey set up the telepathic link between us?
He did. Because I don't to say it in public.
Kyoko: Now, Silver kohai, explain yourself.
I really shouldn't say it to you. In fact sitting near you endangers everyone you love.
Kyoko: Oh for fucks sake out with it!
I glanced at the sudden news flash in the cafe and stood up, leaving money behind on the table.
It should be on the news right now and it is no longer safe for me to be sitting with you. Find me on top of the observation tower if you want to still talk to me. If you want to talk about me, do it through telepathy or you could bring trouble on yourself.
With that, I picked up my suitcase and dashed outside into the rain, trying to hold back my tears while the two pure girls called out to me.
After all, I am making deals with their tormentor.
I don't deserve this.
(Kyoko's pov)
Wait! Silver!
Mami: It's no use, she blocked us out.
What the heck? I thought this is supposed to be a nice occasion! Everybody will just relax and chill after a day of hard work!
Mami: Quiet! Silver wanted us to watch the news. Be quiet.
A reporter, slightly unkempt due to the time right now, sat in front of the desk. But that isn't what made me and Mami's jaws drop.
The background, is an aerial photo of a scene we were all too familiar with.
Because we met Silver there.
The title read: YAKUZA CHAIRMAN ATTACKED
"Yesterday past midnight at a residential district at south western Mitakihara, the police and the fire department received what they first believed in as a prank call, claiming that there were explosions and fire. However, in merely 20 minutes there were more than a dozen calls claiming the same thing. When the police arrived at the scene there was almost nothing left. The entire building is burnt down and part of base structure is even collapsed. Experts confirmed that multiple c4 blasts collapsed the building and napalm was used to burn the wooden structure down." The scene cut to the now...gaping hole in the ground.
"Upon closer inspection, this appears to be no normal homicide. There were multiple corpses burnt beyond dental confirmation. Records on purchase of the property however shed light to the possible story."
"The property is purchased under the name of Kiryu Kazuma. Police records show that this man is the chairman of the infamous yakuza clan, the Tojo clan. The Tojo clan was created in xxxx year. The organization is mainly active in northern Japan. They have significant influence over nearly all industries and even in the government. And Kiryu Kazuma is the third chairman of this vast organization..."
...
So...Silver...your father is...a yakuza?
a bad person?
a very bad person?
Mami, what do you think about this?
Mami:...I...can't believe it. She is...so tender...and caring. At times she has a ruthless streak but it was kind of within reason? Is she really the daughter of this...criminal?
Mami...what should I do?
Mami: I don't know. You are closer to her, you should figure that out.
"...It is almost certain that Tojo clan's long term rival, the Omi Alliance organized the attack. However there was no proof due to the crime scene being destroyed so completely."
"Well viewers, stay tuned for the liv-Just a second...(Background chatter) Viewers! There is an update on this matter. The Tojo clan current spokesperson Goro Majima claimed at an emergency press conference that today at nine a.m, there will be a memorial service at the service hall near Kazamino city. The service is for the Kazuma couple, the 2 victims of the attack. This service is held in remembrance to Kiryu Kazuma, the third chairman and Kaoru Sayama the ex lead detective of the fourth division of the police."
"However, there are rumors that the Kazuma couple is still alive but in hiding and the Tojo clan is claiming that they were dead to cover them. The have raised the bounty on both of them to 10 billion yen. That is dead or alive...
...
Wait, where did Silver go?
Mami: She told us to watch the news, but she lied! There is nothing about her!
This could be a miscommunication, Mami! Otherwise why would she tell us to meet at the observation tower?
Mami: Good point.
I say we go there, corner her and make her talk openly! Enough of this beating around the bush
Mami: I agree.
I buried my head, thinking back to all the events that transpired tonight. Her worried face and her fury when I got hurt. Her guilt ridden face when she believed it was her fault.
...
She can't be that bad.
(Mitsuo'pov)(Time wind back slightly)
I am sitting on top of the observation tower using Kyubey as a TV as an antenna to intercept the broadcast.
My heart sank as Goro Majima announced the dead. If he announced me as dead, and he provided a picture of me, I am FUCKED. If I can't get close to the main 5 I won't even get the chance to save them because words from a bad guy mean nothing.
WHAT KIND OF SICK JOKE IS THIS?
I DIDN'T CHOOSE TO BE BORN INTO A YAKUZA FAMILY AND BECOME THE PRINCESS!
You could just give up the life of yakuza, yeah bullshit. Now that my name and my entire family background is out there, I doubt I could walk into a shop and bye cookies without disguising. Let alone going to school and other normal things.
I didn't choose this path...
That leaves with almost no options.
First one would be to leave Mitakihara, Japan altogether. Forge myself a new identity and live a normal life. Normally this would work, but I need to be here because I want to save them. Facial surgery doesn't work either. Mami and Kyoko already know my soul gem frequencies. They will know it is me.
The only other choice for me is to stay here. But...my name is as bad as it could be. THANKS TO MAJIMA THAT IDIOT FOR LETTING MY PERSONAL INFORMATION OUT. Nobody would even want to come close to me. Let alone Sayaka, who is as noble as a white knight could be. She probably couldn't stand even within 1000m of me. How could I save her if she would rather die than getting saved by me?
...This...is...despair...
Is this how Homura feels when she tries to warn them that Kyubey is bad during the final timeline?
This...sense of powerless...is that how you felt?
I...admire your will.
This feeling of powerless can not be described by words.
My plan hasn't even started and it is already snuffed out.
And there is no time reverse to undo this.
This, is no game. There are no retries.
It's over. I thought as I watched my soul gem slowly turned into grey and towards black. Not even Kyubey's words could reach my ears.
My quest is over before it even began.
Tears roll down my cheek once more mixed with the rain.
Everything is turning grey.
I am starting to see abstract art.
Am...I disappearing?
Am...I turning into a witch?
Ah...
The most bitter defeat
Is when you are defeated and you didn't even get the chance to play.
"...The service is for the Kazuma couple, the 2 victims of the attack. This service is held in remembrance to Kiryu Kazuma, the third chairman and Kaoru Sayama the ex lead detective of the fourth division of the police."
...Eh?
My soul gem stopped turning black as the cracks start to seal before gradually turning white again.
EH?
Where did I go?
Now I appreciate that I am not there but huh?
Human! What did I tell you about not despairing?
I am still a magical girl. From that, I probably gave off a huge amount of despair for your energy project.
While that is true, you almost turned into a witch!
And then I became hopeful once more, so more energy for you.
Watch it human.
Kyubey, I need some lone time. Go and find some other magical girls to recruit.
Kyubey just retreated step by step into the darkness until its crimson eyes disappeared completely.
I need to find Majima now!
He is the only person I could trust in the Tojo clan.
But how do I get his attention? Dad never told me how to contact him.
The news...
I have a dumb idea.
But that's the only way I know.
(3rd person pov)(Majima's hideout)
Goro Majima is drinking again.
After learning the death of his brother like boss he was devastated. They say wine makes you forget things.
So he drank a lot.
He tried to find his brother's daughter but all there is just a ruined house.
He glanced lazily at the so called experts and professors discussing relationships within a clan and among clans and how the police are trying to break it down. He yawned and is about to turn off the TV.
"...an-GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!" A professor screamed like a little girl as he pointed towards the camera-no to be more exact, behind the camera outside the window of the studio. The camera swivled around, pointed at the
There, Majima saw someone.
Flying outside of the window of the studio is a yakuza in white suit and white fedora. His arms were held in a weird 90 degree right angle.
What truly caught his attention isn't the fact there is someone floating in mid air.
It is the gloves that he is wearing.
Now, Goro Majima lost one of his eye during a knife fight. But still he has a keen eye.
And he instantly recognized the gloves.
After all, he made them.
For Mitsuo's birthday.
What is this guy trying to say?
A location?
The fuck does a right angel got anything to do with a location.
Wait a second...
clock face!
9 am.
It is what he said.
This guy want to meet him-
at the memorial service hall.
(Meanwhile at the cafe)(Kyoko's pov)
Nani shite iru no, Silver? (What the hell are you doing, Silver?)
Mami: She's trying to say something.
To who...That yakuza guy!
Mami: I think she's trying to meet him at the memorial servicing hall.
Then let's go!
I said as I jumped off the chair.
(5 min later)(Mitsuo's pov)
Brr...it's cold! I rubbed my hands as I laid on top of the roof of the building.
Just then, a loud engine noise appeared.
Well...he sure is quick.
I peeked over the edge of the roof and sure enough, Goro Majima staggered out of the car.
"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YA YOU ASSHOLE! GIVE HER BACK YA PUSSY!"
...And he's drunk. Of course he is. Quietly, I floated down and with a giant tug, I yanked him onto the roof and slapped him in the face.
"Keep yourself together, Goro Oji." I said as I took off the fedora and sunglasses.
"Wha-Mitsuo?"
"This is not the place to talk. Don't struggle." With that I lifted him into the air and high up in the sky.
(minutes later)(Kyoko's pov)
Damn it! She was here!
Mami: We should check the observatory tower next. Remember, she could fly.
Of course. Me and Mami quickly flew towards the observatory.
(meanwhile in the air)(Mitsuo's pov)
"You awake?" I asked.
"I am awake. Now PLEASE DON'T DROP ME MITSUO SAMA!"
"Goro. Tell me, what happened to me, my existence. Why am I gone!"
"You know it is for your own good, Mitsuo."
"How did the government not have any medical proof that I existed?"
"Princess, you were a...happy...accident."
"So?"
"So Kiryu told me to find a doctor that is willing to do nothing but the operation."
"Ok, from another way, how many people know me in this world?"
"If you didn't tell anybody, then only me."
I sighed...
"What happened to the others?"
"I silenced them permanently"
"...How many did you-"
"About 20 or so. Going to be one more today."
"Why?"
"The teacher."
"..."
"Princess you must understand that if anybody knew that you are Kiryu's daughter, you can no longer live a normal life."
"In order to make sure you can choose your destiny, your parents went to great extents to wipe your slate clean."
"...I really am a sinful person. Innocent people die just because of my existence..."
"Don't think too much about it. Here, take these." Goro said as he handed me a folder.
"This has everything you need. Your new id and passport. There is a bank account under your new name. Every month I will give you more money. There are also the keys for your new house. It's right next to the Mitakihara middle school. Use the untraceable cell phone in there to give me a call if you want to go at anytime. The house is a villa you can't miss it. Anything more just tell me now or give me a call."
"Who am I now?"
"You are Mitsuo Shion. You are half British half Japanese. Your parents were really wealthy businessmen and you have received noble like training-do remember that when you act. 1 month ago, your parents were killed in a plane crash and as their only child, you inherited their villa and their money. Does that sound okay?"
"As good as it could be under this circumstance."
"Anything else?"
"Don't let anyone take what's rightfully ours."
"You don't need to tell me that."
"There is a parking area near the industrial area. I want you to fill it up with large vehicles."
"...I won't ask why."
"That's it for now."
"...Take care now, princess. No, ghost."
"...Goodbye now, Goro. I will be back when I am 16."
"Goodbye."
With that we landed back down and Goro Majima drove away.
"...Now I believe you want some answers."
"We do." Mami said. As she appeared out of thin air. Illusion magic from Kyoko huh.
"Your name would be a good start." Kyoko said as she cracked her knuckles. She probably will punch me if I don't come clear with them.
"I was Mitsuo Kazuma, daughter of Kiryu Kazuma, the ex chairman of the Tojo clan." I replied softly.
"Was being?"
"I am now Mitsuo Shion, just a normal girl that lives in Mitakihara and inherited a large sum of money and a house because my parents died in a plane crash a month ago."
"...I see." Kyoko said after thinking for a brief moment. She then gave me a toothy smile and extended her hand to me. "I am Kyoko Sakura! Nice to meet you!"
I hesitantly shook her hand. "You are still...willing to be friends with me?"
"Like you said, you are now Mitsuo Shion, not Kazuma. Even if you are still Mitsuo Kazuma, I would still do the same. You are born into that name. You didn't choose the path yourself. Hell, you didn't even walk the path. You are a good person. I can tell that much." Kyoko said confidently as she hung an arm around my shoulder and took out a packet of pocky. "Want one?"
"If only people are as open as you..." I said as I smiled and took a pocky stick. It never tasted better than now.
"Kyoko's right. You aren't a bad person." Mami came over and held my other hand."
"...Thank you..."
We then started to make our back to the city.
"I think we should retire for the night. I need to get out of these clothes." I said as we walked.
"Speaking of which, where are you going to stay?" Mami asked.
"I actually live quite close to Mitakihara middle school."
"Hey, Mitsuo. What is your magic exactly?"
"That is a question I will answer when we can discuss over food, warm bath and hot drink and shelter. Also, can I invite you to my humble abode?"
"I live by myself so I will accept your invitation. Kyoko?" Mami said as she looked at Kyoko.
"I told my parents that I am going on a school trip that lasts for a week. They won't be expecting me. Come on let's go! Let's see your new home!"
"Mitsuo."
"Yes, Kyoko?"
"How rich are you?"
"Richer than my parents' heads?"
"...Fair enough."
"Tea anyone?" Mami said as she brought a tray with 3 cups of tea and macaroons.
"Thanks Mami senpai." I replied as I took a cup. "So, any more questions?"
"Yeah! What is your magic exactly?" Kyoko asked. "Ow! What's that for Mami? I know you are curious as well!"
"Can't you be a bit more subtle?"
"It's fine. I call my magic: deletion. I can remove anything permanently from the present and the future." I said my magic proudly.
"No way!" Kyoko said in awe.
"I am the strongest magical girl ever. That's what Kyubey said."
"Prove it!" Kyoko said as she handed me a cup.
"It uses a lot of mana. I don't think it's a good idea to waste it."
"Damn. I really wish that I can see you use it!"
"Kyoko senpai, if I did use it, we are in deep trouble. So I would rather I would never need to use it."
"I have a question, Mitsuo kohai." Mami asked. "Did you really punch out that lava pool?"
"...No! I am not that strong! And we were in a barrier! I don't think the usual geographical laws apply there! Kyubey said I could utilize my rage as mana as well so I just gave it a try."
"You really are one of a kind." Mami said as she smiled. "But you know, you are making me and Kyoko san look bad."
"Yeah! I feel kind of useless! Not that I am just giving up, but you know..."
"You are still my senpai, Kyoko. We'll fight together ok? After all, 3 is better than 2." I suggested.
Mami and Kyoko both paused, and then smiled.
"Of course. It's great to have a strong and reliable ally to join us!" Mami said happily.
Kyoko just grinned and held out her fist. I smiled and bumped her fist as we all smiled.
I almost lost myself in Kyoko's smile.
Completely different from the one in the show, this Kyoko is much more open and caring and much more likable. Although her fiery personality remains.
But that's part of her charm, isn't it?
Of course.
This is why I am here.
To keep these smiles on their faces.
"We will make an excellent team! I can attract and tank while Kyoko and Mami senpai can deal as much damage as possible! We will be unstoppable!"
"Of course!"

Hello there again. It is I, Sivir again! I probably screwed up on the length of this chapter, but I couldn't possibly find a good time to stop the chapter. So yeah...this is a long long one. Hopefully future ones will be shorter.
Suggestions? Leave a review!
Sivir, peace out!
