The Lonely Girl who slays Witches
In a spacious and swanky 1SLDK apartment in Tokyo City...
There lived a young girl all alone.
15 with dark brown hair and vivid, sea-blue eyes. At a height of 5'5. Slim, slender and shapely in the right places with very fair skin, she was a beauty to look at, and a figure of lust in her school by both genders even.
Nobody questioned why she lives alone. Just that she was rich. She calls herself a Trust Fund Baby that she could live on her own until she finds a job for herself upon adulthood.
However, reality was far different.
This girl, has a dang good reason to live alone.
She has so many secrets to keep.
She is a Magical Girl.
Lineage aside, she also has power from an alien in the shape of a cute mascot whom she never saw again upon asking it all she needed to know, and contracting with it.
So she lives a swanky life despite being lonely.
And she fights.
That one day, when fighting a witch, she encountered Aozaki Aoko who spotted her going into a barrier, and she followed...only to learn that something crazy's going on, and a kid willingly walked into it.
Inside, was another world.
A Reality Marble, Aoko wondered. Up ahead was a monster spawning monsters!
'Are you crazy?! Why'd you walk into someone's barrier?!' Aoko gasped out as the girl didn't talk. She held out a brown gem that looks like a Faberge Egg, and did that kid just undergo a magical girl transformation?! It was a futuristic magical girl outfit.
'It's YOU who's crazy when you don't have the ability to fight a Witch.' said the girl dryly as she conjured a futuristic-looking sword. And Aoko watched as the girl fought off the minions.
Aoko tried, but her magic didn't work!
'My powers didn't work...?'
The girl, seeing this, frowned.
'I'll explain after this mess. Do NOT get touched by the Familiars!' the girl warned. 'Each witch causes different effects on people and so do their familiars!'
Thus Aozaki Aoko helplessly watched as a kid who was the same age as Tohno Shiki shrug off what would normally kill even a First-Rate Magus from all that slamming after getting thrown around, but she killed the creatures she called Witch and Familiars.
The Witch became a small seed which she put into her pouch. The Reality Marble then disappeared.
'OK. Explain. Now.' said Aoko gruffly as the girl changed back.
'...you're a Magus huh?' the girl mused. 'This makes my life easier.' she sighed as she went for a nearby vending machine, shoved her hand through the glass and the glass rippled as it let her hand through, just so she can get two orange fantas. 'I dunno what he is. He looks like this.' girl created an illusion of what looks like a cute mascot. 'His name is Kyubey and he's not from this world. He's a self-proclaimed Incubator...and only young girls with 'talent'...as in, the ability to wield a new brand of magic can see him. He would offer them a wish, in exchange for becoming a magical girl who fights witches. Sounds easy for naive idiots who jump the gun...'
'...but like the good magus daughter I am, I asked everything I must know, for nothing is ever free.' said Sakura with a snort. 'Kyubey extracts our souls and puts them in the Soul Gem which is the source of our magic.' she said, showing Aoko her gem. 'In our current state, we control our bodies from the gems like a puppet as he puts it yet the way we are, its like we're still inside-a little confusing, but whatever. I don't consider myself alive at this point as a result but its the only way to gain the magic needed to fight witches.' she explained.
'However, over time, the Soul Gem darkens from our use of this magic, but it can be cleansed by having a Grief Seed absorb the taint...but the taint also appears when we feel negative emotions. I came to the conclusion that during battle, our negative emotions darkens the gems, not from our use of magic. So as long as I don't feel fear, anger, stuff like that, I can use my powers with impunity. But the Grief Seed has a limited capacity of absorbing negative emotions, so when it's full, Kyubey will come and take it.'
'However, if the gem becomes fully-dark and no Grief Seed to save a magical girl? We too, become witches.'
That got Aoko shaken.
The implications, were not lost on her.
Alien from outer space pulls a Third Magic on girls able to see him, then makes them fight witches who lost themselves to their own emotions?! This is vicious!
'Then if you knew...why did you still make a deal?' Aoko croaked out, shaken.
'Nobody will help me, not even my own sister.' said the girl bitterly. 'I was a spare Tohsaka daughter. Grandfather asked my father for me to be his heir, but that never happened. I was violated by crest worms since I was four years old.' Aoko choked. Was this girl's father DUMB?! A man's fate is more preferable than a woman's fate with those creatures! 'Sure I got educated, but I can't even use what I suffered for. I have no idea what grandfather's goals are while violating me with his worms. When I hit puberty, I needed sex, so my new father has sex with me to calm the worms.'
Aoko went green with queasiness out of horror and disgust. Her knees weakened like jelly.
'I lost all hope in life until I met Kyubey at twelve. He offered me a deal, I asked this and that...so my wish was, 'the ability to completely heal and restore a body and soul.' This way, I can cleanse my own Soul Gem without relying on Grief Seeds. I purged and healed my body of the worms and got my virginity back. My Matou hair and eye color restored to my old Tohsaka Lineage, I even got back my innate magical talent since my element was Imaginary Numbers, but forcibly changed to Water.'
'Noooow then, as for what Kyubey wants the seeds for? To violate the laws of Entropy to prevent the Heat Death of the Universe.' the girl finished. 'The power that can make it happen, is the power drawn from emotions of young girls. So he won't care if the contracted become witches. So I ensured I myself, will never become a Witch even if I have negative emotions as I can restore myself with a thought. Yeah, I'll fight forever, so what? I gained the power to heal and restore so my tenure as magical girl is miles long.' she chuckled. 'I can enjoy life without a sword of damocles on my head.'
'I see...that was indeed, smart.' Aoko agreed. The kid asked all she needed to know before making that deal. 'Are you happy with your life though?'
'Yes. I'm free and no longer tormented.' said the girl. 'I'm a self-made orphan though. I ran away after all.' she chuckled cynically. 'Why would I come home to a sister who's such a good daddy's girl that she didn't spare me a thought? That she never approached me in school back in Fuyuki City to even say hello and ask if I'm OK. My mother doesn't even remember me when we came across in the street once, so I guess I was mind-wiped off her head. I hoped for someone to turn to!' she spat bitterly before looking exhausted. 'In the end, I'm all alone. But its also better this way. My job demands secrecy.' she sighed gloomily. 'And I'm the only magical girl in Tokyo too.'
That means she has no friends, Aoko thought.
'What is your name? I'm Aozaki Aoko, the Great Fifth.' Aoko introduced herself. 'What's your name, Tohsaka-chan?'
'Sakura.' said Sakura. 'With the purge of the worms and restoring my body free of alterations, I lost my Matou Education, so I compensated with opening space portals in Tohsaka Workshop and self-study. Tohsaka Tokiomi owes me that much, and much more even if he's dead.' she said in utter contempt.
'I see...well, I'll come check on you alright? I was supposed to meet an Executor and dealing with your brand of crazy made me half an hour late, Ciel's gonna strangle me...'

'You're. Late.' Ciel growled at the sheepish Magician. 'What kept you?!'
'...a new brand of crazy. Thankfully I had proof for that...'
'Go on while we walk...'
'You see...'
By the time Aoko was finished, Ciel pinched her nose and looked exasperated.
'Oh great, we're invaded by aliens now, tricking gullible kids into making wishes unaware of the catch, just to stave off Entropy?!' Ciel looked very cross. 'That's millions of years from now!'
'Yeah, that we're loooong dead before that happens while sucks to be the Incubators.' Aoko snorted before frowning. 'But still, what happens to the used-up Grief Seeds taken by Kyubey...? They're still souls of young girls...what does Sakura do with them? She collects a whole pouchful of Grief Seeds...'
'We kill a Dead Apostle, then we find that kid.' Ciel decided.
