I do not own The World Ends With You or Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Chapter 3: Intermission: Explanations
"So are you going to explain what's happening or not?" Asked Sayaka Crossly
"Fine, but then you have to explain why you decided to cosplay." The boy said. "But first introductions are needed. My name is Neku Sakuraba." Neku said
"Sayaka Miki." Sayaka said. "Now where are we?"
"You're in Shibuya." Neku said
"WHAT!" She yelled
"Why are you so surprised?" Neku asked
"I'm from a city called Mikihata." Said Sayaka
"Mikihata's pretty far from hear." Said Neku
"You think. Alright, what was that pact thing and what were those frogs?" Sayaka asked
"Those frogs are called noise. They come from the negative emotions that people give off. Only players who form pacts can fight them." Neku explained
'Negative human emotions? That sounds just like demons.' Sayaka thought. "You mentioned something about players."
"You really don't know anything do you? We are in the Reapers Game. It's a game played by people who die unwillingly. It takes place over seven days." Neku explained
"That explains why I'm here because I do remember dying." Sayaka said. "If we are supposed to fight noise by making pacts, how come I was on my own?"
"That's because we get transported to two different zones when we fight noise. We have to eliminate noise on both zones to really get rid of them." Neku said
"What happens if we lose to the noise?" Sayaka asked
"We get erased." Neku said matter-of-factly
"As in we die again?" Sayaka asked
"No, as in we get erased from exsistence." Neku said
"That's scary. Alright, I think I get it now." Sayaka said
"Good, now you can explain the cosplaying to me." Neku said
"IT'S NOT COSPLAYING! You see-," Sayaka started
"I can't let you do that Sayaka." Came a voice
Out of nowhere an animal the size of a ferret appeared. It was white with a red circle on its back. It looked like it had ears growing out of its ears, red jewel like eyes and a blank expression on its face.
"Kyubey!" Sayaka yelled
"You know this thing?" Neku asked
"Yes, we've met Neku." Kyubey said. "I'm afraid Sayaka cannot tell you anything, in case you won the game and came back to life."
"You expect me to listen to a walking stuffed animal?" Neku Said
"You don't have to but if Sayaka tells you anything, on the chance you come back to life, you would be killed and Sayaka punished." Kyubey said
"So we're pretty much being threatened." Neku said
"You can take it any way you want." Kyubey said
"Well this was a waste of time, whatever let's check the mission." Neku said
"We get missions?" Sayaka asked
"Oh, yeah I forgot. We get missions from the Conductor. The Conductor is a reaper that decides the missions we get." Neku explained
"Reapers are who exactly?" Sayaka asked
"Reapers are people who keep the game running. There are two types of Reapers, the Harriers and the Support. The Harriers can control noise and use them to attack players since it's against the rules to attack us directly. They try to erase us during the game and if we fail our mission." Neku explained
"We get erased." Sayaka finished
"Yup." Neku said
"So what do Supports do?" Sayaka asked
"Supports make invisible walls between parts of Shibuya. We have to clear their objective to pass." Neku said
"Why do Reapers even attack us?" Sayaka asked
"To get points." Neku said
"Points?" Sayaka asked
"Reapers get points for each player they erase. If they have no points, they get erased." Neku said
"So we have to die so they could live." Sayaka said
"It's a dog eat dog world out there. We better check the mission now." Neku said
So how do we check missions?" Sayaka asked
"Check your pockets, you should have a cell phone and pins." Said Neku
"What are you talking about?" Sayaka began, but sure enough when she put her hands in her pockets, she pulled out a light blue cell phone and three pins.
"Told you." Neku said. He opened up his phone to check the mission mail.
Reach 104, you have 60 minutes. Fail and be erased.- The Reapers
Sayaka felt a stinging pain on her hand. "Ow." She said. On her hand appeared numbers counting down like a timer. "What is this?"
"A timer. It shows how much time we have left to complete the mission. It will go away when we finish the mission." Neku explained
"It better." Sayaka said, not to thrilled at the fact that she will be stung with every new mission.
'Still the same mission first day, good to see things didn't change' Neku thought. "Alright, lets get going." And he began to run off.
"About time." Sayaka said chasing after him.
