Chapter 7: Chase
Luna, Kyoko, and Sayaka had arrived at a rundown factory. Leo had silently followed him and found them at a portal. He looked at it in wonder. He felt a firm hand placed on his shoulder. He looked back shocked as he saw Yusei, Jack, and Crow with frustrated faces.
"We know you're there guys!" called Sayaka. "We've also known Leo's been following us."
"Come on out," Luna said with an annoyed look.
"We were coming to grab Leo," Jack informed. "He left before any of us knew it and we knew it wouldn't be good for him to tag along."
"We have to go, but you guys stay out here at least. Do not go into this portal. Once you're in, you can't get out without that witch being killed," Kyoko said.
"But I have to watch to make sure my sister stays okay," Leo retorted.
"I'll be fine Leo. Now stay here. I can't be worrying on your safety," Luna responded.
"Let's change now," Kyoko suggested. "I always hate going into these without a way of defending myself right away."
"Okay," Luna agreed with Sayaka who nodded.
Luna activated her Soul Gem and returned to her Magical Girl outfit that had black boots going to her knees with teal green outline, black shorts wrapped tightly around her legs as a teal green skirt fell on her waist stopping just above the short's tip. Her shirt turned teal green as well and with a white, short sleeve vest. In the center of her chest was a teal green gem in a golden, diamond shaped outline. Her hair formed into one ponytail and hung down her back and her staff with its single leaf top held in her hand.
Sayaka transformed into hers. She had a white top with a blue chest, a white cape, a dark blue skirt, brown boots, with white socks that traveled to half way up her thigh, and with a crescent shape clip on her head. She carried her signature sword.
Kyoko turned into hers which consisted of tall red boots, black socks that went up half her thigh, a pink skirt, a dark pink undershirt with a red vest that had a back that stopped behind her knees, gray arm bands that went from her wrist to her upper arm with dark purple wrists bands. She held her silver staff that was topped with a giant, red and silver arrow head.
"That's more like it," Kyoko said.
Luna gave a small laugh at Jack, Crow, and Leo's awed faces while Yusei looked nervous.
"See ya once we're done guys," Luna called.
"Luna!" Leo called.
Luna sighed and turned back. She made a twirling motion with her finger and vines wrapped around Leo's ankles and locked him there. "Sorry Leo. But I can't risk you getting hurt. Those won't let go until you either break them, I lose concentration, I allow it, or I die. So don't worry about taking another step.
With that she ran to catch up to her other friend.
"Did she really just lock Leo in place?" Jack asked shocked.
"She's trying to protect Leo," Yusei mentioned. "But that doesn't seem like Luna to do something like that."
Inside the labyrinth, Luna, Kyoko, and Sayaka had found their way into the witch's lair. Inside it was a bird cage with two separate looking legs inside. A bunch of creatures with bird heads, pink skirts, and yellow legs surrounding it.
"Please tell me this is a joke," Kyoko said.
"This is an easy one," Sayaka agreed.
"How about you take it on, Luna?" Kyoko suggested. "I want to see what you can do being the most powerful Magical Girl right beside Madoka."
"Okay," Luna said.
She jumped into the air on landed on one of the pedestals. Little did she know, she suddenly broke the amount of her concentration on the spell to keep Leo where he was.
The vines dissolved into nothing. Resulting in Leo dashing in before anyone could stop him. "Leo!" Yusei called but it was too late.
"We have to go in there and find Leo. Then Luna will at least know he's safe with us," Crow said.
"Luna's going to kill us," Jack said and the three of them dashed after the boy.
Luna fired an arrow that split into ten as the minions dove towards her. Leo had found his way to Luna and was secretly watching her in awe. Meanwhile Jack, Crow, and Yusei came up and hid behind him.
"Leo what were you thinking?" Jack growled in a low whisper.
"Luna said those vines won't let go unless either I break them, she loses concentration, she allows it, or she dies," Leo said. They realized what he was thinking and knew he had a right to be worried but it made them worry on how much Luna could work if she found out.
They heard a scream of rage and turned to see the witch attacking Luna. "Okay, please tell me that thing won't kill her," Crow muttered.
"It'll definitely try. If Magical Girls kill witches because they kill or eat people, then it would stand to reason that they'll kill anyone," Yusei reasoned.
Luna grinned confusing them. "Why is she grinning?" Jack asked. "Doesn't she know how much danger she's in?"
She pulled back her stick like bow and a green arrow made of energy formed. She released it and it hit the creature smack in the middle. It exploded and the witch fell to pieces. Luna jumped down the ridiculously high pedestal to the ground where she landed cleanly and stood without a problem.
"What did you guys think?" she asked Kyoko and Sayaka when the realm disappeared and they morphed back into their casual outfits.
"Perfect ten," Sayaka said.
"Go get your Grief Seed and cleanse your Soul Gem," Kyoko ordered. "We can't afford such a strong Magical Girl like you to become a witch so soon."
Luna smiled kindly. She then walked over and picked up the seed.
"What's that?" Jack asked.
"A Grief Seed," Luna answered bluntly.
She held the Grief Seed next to her Soul Gem and dark mist flowed out of the gem and into the Grief Seed.
"The Grief Seed can't be used anymore. We don't want it to hatch," Kyubey said.
"Hatch?" Yusei repeated.
Luna stayed silent as she tossed the used Grief Seed into the air and it dropped into his opened hatch before it disappeared.
"That was weird," Crow said. "But what do you mean hatch?"
"Grief Seeds are eggs left by witches," Kyubey explained.
"What's shocking me is none of the witches we have fought are familiars. They are all real witches," Kyoko said.
"I know. It's pretty weird," Sayaka said.
"What are you talking about now?" Jack asked.
"Familiar witches look and act like a real witches, but they are practically realistic illusions," Sayaka asked.
"How can you tell the difference?" Yusei asked.
"Real witches leave Grief Seeds when they are defeated, familiars don't," Kyoko answered.
They heard footsteps closing in and turned to Homura. "Where have you been, Homura? We would've expected to have come," Sayaka asked.
"I had another witch to deal with tonight," Homura answered.
"That's a total of four witches in one day," Luna counted.
"I've never heard of so many witches attack in one day," Homura stated. "I do not like this."
"If Ms. Time Traveler hasn't heard or seen so many witches on one night, then that means something big is coming," Kyoko said.
"And I'm guess it's bad news," Luna added.
"Well, as long as we work together, we can defeat the Walpurgisnacht without losing anyone," Homura stated. "We cannot afford to lose this planet."
The four Magical Girls nodded in agreement.
"What's this about her being a Time Traveler?" Jack asked.
"Follow me to my place. I will explain there," Homura replied.
