"Today we settle this, Madoka Kaname." Homura set her new gunpla.
"Dark Destiny Gundam, launching!"
The dark version of Destiny Gundam descended on the field. It's red, blue, and yellow armor replaced with shades of gray and black.
"I'm not holding back! Sayaka Miki, 00 Qan(t) Seckendorff Custom, launching!"
"I'll back you up! Kyouko Sakura, Rosso Abyss Gundam. Here I go!"
"Mami Tomoe, Gundam DX Finale. Let's do this."
"Nagisa Momoe, Shiranui Akatsuki Gundam. I'll try my best!"
"I'll bring you back, Homura. Madoka Kaname, Strike Freedom Luminis. Launching!"
Field: Space
Battle Start
Kyouko and Sayaka were eager to bring an end to this.
"You're going down!" Kyouko said. "Rosso Fantasma!"
Multiple copies of the Rosso Abyss surroundedthe Destiny.
"Madoka may be forgive you, but I don't forgive easily!" Sayaka said, activating her funnels.
"Come, Okatavia!"
The witch was summoned behind the 00.
"You let your emotions get to the better of you," Homura said. The Destiny turned on it's beam shield.
Kyouko realized it first. "Oh crap-"
Suddenly all the copies of the Rosso Abyss disappeared, and the real one was stabbed with an anti-ship sword.
"Damn!" Kyouko said.
"Kyouko!" Sayaka looked at the remains of her friend's gunpla. "You're gonna pay! Go, funnels!"
The funnels started to surround the Destiny, while Oktavia crept behind it, aiming for a surprise attack.
"You still haven't learned, Sayaka Miki," Homura said. She was able to destroy the funnels before they dealt damaging blows, and she turned around just as Oktavia raised its sword, blasting the witch away with the Destiny's cannon.
"What the-"
Homura shot the 00 Qan(t), eliminating it from the battle.
The events happened so fast, the other combatants were not able to react.
Mami immediately took the offensive, shooting the Destiny.
Homura dodged all the shots.
"Then in that case…" Mami released a string of cloth from the DX's arm panel, aiming to tie herself to Destiny and rendering her gunpla immune from the Destiny's time stopping powers.
"I won't fall for that again," Homura said, detaching her boomerangs and using it to slice the cloth. "Time to finish this, Mami Tomoe!" The Destiny aimed it's cannon at DX.
No! I won't be able to dodge! Mami grit her teeth, ready for the end.
"No! I won't let you hurt Mami!" Nagisa flew in front of the DX, her Akatsuki gundam shielding her friend's gunpla.
"Make's no difference," Homura replied.
"It makes all the difference!" Nagisa said. She activated the Akatsuki's special armor, reflecting the beam back to Homura. By reflex Homura raised her shield to deflect the attack, realizing too late what she was doing.
"Crap-"
Nagisa smiled, Her Akatsuki still took damage, and it can barely move. "Now your shield is destroyed, you can't activate your time powers."
"It's still not over," Homura said. " I can still take you all on!"
She dodged a beam from the Strike Freedom. "Homura, please! Stop fighting and return to us!" Madoka said.
"No!" Homura replied. "This is the only way I can keep you safe!"
"You are merely imprisoning us," Mami said. "Take this! Tiro Finale!"
"You always try to use flashy attacks," Homura said. She flew down, dodging the attack.
"Good bye, Mami," Homura said as she shot the DX.
"Madoka! It's all up to you now!"
"This time we end this!" Homura said.
"Return to us… return to me," Madoka said.
She activated her funnels, trying to surround the Destiny.
"Too slow!" Homura activated the wings of light, using it to dodge.
"Take this!" She swung her sword, using the wings of light to gain astonishing speed.
"Homura… looks like I can't hold back."
Madoka closed her eyes. When they opened, they were yellow, and now she was wearing her goddess outfit.
"Indeed," Homura said. Now she was wearing her goddess outfit as well.
"Look here, things are heating up," Kyouko said from the sides.
"Madoka will win," Mami said. "I believe in her."
"Whoah, what's this?"
Sayaka turned and saw Sei.
"Sei? What are you doing here?"
"I came to watch the match… "
"You must be pretty weirded out by this," Mami said.
"Nah, I've seen worse."
At that moment, Reiji walked in. "You talking about me?"
Sei sighed. "Who else…."
Madoka was shooting her two guns, all while firing her funnels.
Homura skillfully dodged the shots and even managed to destroy a few funnels.
"This way is better! Everyone is safer, under my control! This time, you won't have to suffer!"
Homura armed herself with her sword.
Madoka did the same, and the two clashed swords.
"Homura, no… I don't want it like this. I don't want a universe like this. Let's return… back to normal."
"No!" Homura repeated again. Slashing the Strike Freedom's shield arm.
Madoka retaliated by using her funnels to blow off a portion of the Destiny's head.
"By dong this… you're only making me suffer!" Madoka said.
"I…I what…."
"Please, Homura!"
Homura was already confused and sad.
"Ahhh!" She started to charge, intending to strike down the Strike Freedom.
Madoka prepared her sword.
"Homura…"
"Madoka?"
Homura looked around. The stadium, the field, was nowhere to be seen."Where are we?"
"It doesn't matter Homura…" Madoka said. "Please… this time, come back."
"But if I return the universe to you, you'll leave me again! You'll have to bear all that despair again!"
"I won't leave this time," Madoka said, giving Homura a hug. "I won't leave you behind. "
"Madoka!" Homura returned the hug.
"So please, Homura…"
The two returned to the field.
Madoka smiled at Homura. She smiled back.
The announcer's voice can suddenly be heard.
"Ummm… we now have a clear winner! The winner is Homura Akemi!"
'What?" Homura looked at the field. Her gunpla has stabbed the Freedom's cockpit, while Madoka only hit the Destiny's shoulder.
Madoka walked to Homura's side.
"Well, congratulations, Homura," Madoka said.
"And welcome back," Mami said, as the rest of the group joined in.
"Yeah, as much as I hate to say it," Sayaka said.
"I know what I did may be hard to forgive," Homura said. "I don't think you can forgive me easily."
"You got that right," Sayaka said. "Still, Madoka forgives you, and that's fine by me."
Sei and Reiji joined the group. "Wow, that was impressive," Reiji said.
"I think I'm just going to forget all that stuff," Sei said.
"Yeah, you better do," Kyouko said.
"Oh yeah. When are you going to claim your prize?"
"Prize?" Homura asked.
"You didn't know there was one?" Sei asked.
"Well, I guess that wasn't exactly our top priority when we entered," Madoka said.
"It's a trip to the beach!" Reiji said.
"Beach?" Sayaka asked.
"Nice!" Kyouko replied. "This turned out to be a good idea after all."
"But, it's only for five people…" Sei said.
"No problem," Nagisa replied. She promptly transformed into her "Bebe" form and landed in Mami's arms.
"Yeah, I'll just pretend that didn't happen…"
EPILOGUE
BEACH-WEEK LATER
Madoka and Homura were both looking at the sea. Sayaka, Mami, Kyouko, and Nagisa were out swimming.
"Wow. So looks like it's back to normal, Homura?"
"I guess so," Homura replied.
Ever since that day both of them gained a shared control over the new universe. Both of them remained on this world, keeping watch on it.
"Umm, Homura, I've been meaning to ask-where's Kyubey?"
"Oh, that," Homura said. "They're currently burning in what some people may refer to as the 'seven circles of hell.' Don't worry, they deserve it. And they won't be getting out of there-"
"Homura?"
Madoka sensed a change in her friend.
"Kyubey… I can't sense him! He's gone!"
Fin
Well, that's it for this story. I left it open-ended because an idea for a part 2, involving Kyubey and and world tournament, is in my mind, but I'm not sure how to do it. Waiting for new GBF eps for more ideas.
Yeah, I know the writing could be better. Hey, at least I tried, and I had fun too
