Personal Comments: So my friend StormFarron185 started on this story that crosses over Madoka with Creepypastas. It's called Nightmare War. So far it's a great story. I remember he and I actually talked about it some time ago via messages, tossing around ideas. It's about Kyubey hiring creepypasta characters to attack Homura and the other four girls to try and force Madoka to make a contract.

I had this idea of having it setup kind of like in Batman: Arkham Origins, as seen in this drabble. Came up with some ways to give these guys powers or abilities that would make them formidable foes like the ones Batman faced in the game, I suppose, if you know what I mean. I'd still say Slender Man is the top dog out of all of them, so I tried to put him in Bane's role.

Curious to see how Farron has the creepypasta guys prove to be a threat to the good guys. I mean they are magical girls after all, and could fend themselves pretty fairly. I remember one idea he had was having them play the Nightmare Game, or the Devil Game, or whatever it's called.

I'm also excited for Batman: Arkham Knight.

Been really out of it lately because of classes and stuff. Kind of starting to get really careless about things. Probably shouldn't have spent a lot of time working on this drabble, but I did.

Homura finally reentered through the door of her apartment to find Madoka, Sayaka, Kyoko and Mami all waiting for her. They greeted her warmly and offered her a slice of the pizza they ordered. After a quick bite, Homura went over to the computer to plug in the USB the warden of the SCP foundation had given her, ready to show her friends the eight assassins Kyubey had sent after them.

"Assassins?" Sayaka repeated. "You mean more than one?"

"That's right," Homura answered as she opened the file from the USB. As soon as she clicked it, a flurry of images flooded the room, showing off images and videos of disturbing figures and so many people in pain, being slaughtered at their hands.

"The one that attacked Kyoko is known as Jeff the Killer," Homura continued. She pointed to one image of the man with the creepy smile that had attacked Kyoko.

"There's not much that special about him. A rather ordinary serial killer. Skilled with knives and has been able to cover his tracks from authorities for years using bleach."

The girls directed their attention to one video showcasing a squadron of three policemen investigating a dark house, flashlights and pistols at the ready. Out of one shadowy corner, Jeff jumped out and grabbed one officer from behind, and with lightning fast reflexes, swiped his knife across the officer's throat, slitting his throat and showering blood.

The other cops turned to him to shoot. Using the wriggling body of the injured cop as a meat shield, Jeff guarded against the bullets before shoving the cop towards one of his allies.

Jeff immediately somersaulted towards the other one, dodging every bullet that came his way. He came up and shoved his knife into the side of the cop's forehead. Blood squirted, and the cop gargled before slowly falling to his knees.

The third cop, who had regained his balance from the corpse shoved at him, barely had time to raise his gun before Jeff spun around and sent smaller knife hurtling into his forehead.

Kyoko and Sayaka both growled at the sick bastard they were watching. Madoka looked horrified.

A new image finally showed up, a video recording of Kyubey, surrounded by a dozen more incubators.

"All of you have your assignments," Kyubey announced to his brethren. "Visit each of these entities, and show them my message. I want them contacted tonight."

The other incubators all nodded before scurrying off to wherever Kyubey had sent them. Once Kyubey's video ended, a series of faces started flashing up.

"They are demonic beings, similar to witches, but not exactly," Homura continued. "Call them outliers. They spread fear and death all across the world, though more directly than witches do. There have been periodically human sightings of some of them, turning them into urban legends and spreading terror all over the internet. Each of them have murdered or abducted countless humans. Kyubey isn't messing around."

One image of a woman with a white doll mask and black clothing appeared. "Jane the Killer," Homura stated her name. "An expert martial artist, knife specialist, and arsonist."

Kyoko smirked. "What is she? Jeff's sister? His girlfriend?"

"Quite the opposite," Homura replied monotonously. "According to these files, Jeff killed her family, and she's been out for revenge ever since."

A video appeared showing Jane surrounded by many gangsters on the street. They all came at her with knives and guns. With perfect coordination, Jane ducked and dodged each attack, pushing the thugs into each other, or into the car or lamp post at the side. She grabbed one man's wrist holding a pistol, and redirected his shot into one of his friends, before snapping his arm, and then his neck.

Another man charged at her with a knife, but she whipped out a molotov cocktail from her dark overcoat, and smashed it against his face. Miraculously, the cocktail immediately caught fire, and the fan's face was lit ablaze. He ran away screaming bloody murder.

One last man charged at her. It was then that she finally drew her knife and plunged it into his eye.

The next figure appeared before the girls; a tall man in a grey clown-like outfit, like something out of a Tim Burton movie.

"Laughing Jack," Homura explained. "Notable brutal strength, teleportation, and sadistic torture."

This was followed by a short slide show of Jack crushing children in bloody messes, and wrecking cars and buildings.

One last photo showed Lack standing before one of the incubators Kyubey had sent out, watching a holographic video the said incubator was projecting from his eyes.

"That hologram must be the message Kyubey was talking about," Mami observed. "They're recruiting them to his cause."

"Exactly," Homura replied.

Once the horrid slideshow disappeared, up came the next entity; a figure in a pitch black cloak. The spot where his face should have been was scratched out.

"Shadowlurker," Homura stated. "A.K.A. The Unwanted Houseguest. Stalks and scares people of all ages at night. Anyone who has seen his face has died instantly."

Next on display was a thin man in a skintight black suit with a blue mask. The only thing visible were empty black sockets where his eyes were.

"Eyeless Jack," Homura said. "A cannibal. Secretes an unknown poisonous substance from his eyes. He poisons his victims with this and then eats their organs."

A video showed jack eating the spleen of one of his victims, near a torn apart and covered in the dark liquid. Another incubator appeared behind Jack. Jack turned to face it as it raised its ribbon ears to project the holographic message.

Next appeared a strange-looking creature; not an animal, but also not a human. Thin and bony with rotting brown skin, and blank empty white eyes. It was crouched over a pile of blood and guts. At the end of his hands were large knife-like fingers.

"A zombie?" Kyoko asked.

"Looks a little like Gollum," Sayaka added.

"The Rake," Homura replied. "It's skill, stealth, and agility are unmatched."

A video showed the inside of an SCP cell. The rake was tied by chains to the wall. The guard watching him was taunting him. He turned his head for a second, only to hear chains rattle on the floor. He turned to see the Rake had disappeared. He raised his gun, but too late. The Rake jumped down onto his shoulder with the agility of an expert gymnast, drove his claw into the guard's stomach, before twisting his own body around the guard acrobatically, and snapping his neck. The guard dropped to the floor as the Rake got down on all fours just as an incubator appeared in the room.

"Jeez!" Kyoko groaned. "What's he made of? Rubber?"

The next one, surprisingly, was a blank photograph, like one would see on a new FaceBook profile.

"This next one is called Smile Dog. One of the more mysterious ones," Homura explained. "It has a strange power where if you see its photograph just once, it has the power to enter your mind, and torture you with images and messages and drive you to terror and madness."

"Oh yeah, I think I've heard of something like that before," Sayaka said.

The last image filled all the girls with horror. Of course they were already scared, particularly Madoka, but the other four had an easier time hiding it until now.

The final assassin was a tall figure wearing a black tuxedo. His face was white and bald, utterly featureless, just like a manikin one sees at a clothing store. Several black tendrils branched out from his back. His arms and legs were stretched out to an abnormally long length.

"Slender Man?" Mami whispered in horror. "Here? In Mitakihara?"

A final video showed Slenderman fighting a few magical girls. They were grabbed in his tentacles or arms.

"Why would he be taking payment as a hired killer?" Sayaka asked.

"Bigger question," Homura replied, "is what is Kyubey paying him with?"

The last of the assassins shown, the girls slowly got to their seats as it all sank in how much trouble was coming their way.

Madoka was shivering. Sayaka and Homura moved closer to comfort her.

"Eight assassins after your head," Kyoko reminded Homura later. "What are you going to do?

Homura packed the last of her ammunition into her shield before replying. "I'm going to find Kyubey, and end this!"
