Author Notes:
Sorry Sorry, Sorry, I'm quite awfully late Y_Y. Sorry for the inconvenience. For some damn reason it has been very hard depicting this chapter (most especially the end). God, so many unworthy paragraphs to change, so many sentences that are awfully wrong. God. Well, at least I'm done now... Whew..
10 Points and a Special Mention to the one who can say the answer to at least one reference ;P
Now for some not-so-serious stuff...Well, I'd like a real OP for this fic sometime, and this is how it would it would likely go...Touhou-inspired... yeah...look below for more details. And for other news, I finally have a beta, ChiptuneImpulse. Thanks mate, even though it's almost like a 6,000 page chapter. xD (He probably hates those stuff)

Plot:
Homura Akemi, the time traveler, has left a world line in which Madoka becomes Kriemhild Gretchen, the greatest witch of all time, and Kyubey leaves Earth. With the help of nearly 1000 mahou shoujos, including Kyouko, Sayaka, Mami, Kazumi, and a different and more powerful Homura, can they defeat this witch and bring about hope again to an impending apocalypse?

"Oii, Homura..."
"Miki-san...?"
"Did I mention that I've always hate you?"
"Yes... back in one of my time loops..."
"Figures, sheesh, why did I even-"
Slash!
A sharp dollar bank note would have beheaded the two, that's if Homura didn't pull Sayaka out with her lighting quick senses.
"Erm, thanks," Sayaka redundantly responded.
Another dollar bank note sped towards her; leaving a slash on her cheek with a pretty shallow-deep wound; blood started coming out of it.
"Oii," Kyouko caught their attention, just before another mind-scraping dollar banknote nearly went through her neck. "Stop blabbering, and start actually fighting."
Kyouko's words met with a standstill freeze as suddenly an elephant familiar wrapped its long green nose to her body.
"D-Damn..." Kyouko pulled out her spear to stab the familiar's nosy long nose. However, the elephant familiar noticed this, further tightening the grip on her body like that of an anaconda.
"Slack off huh?" Sayaka smiled, appearing right in front of the elephant's trunk. The sound of Sayaka's sword tore the the air around it, creating something like a vacuum slash, sharp enough to tear away metal, and faster than the speed of sound. With enough luck, the elephant's trunk fell to the ground, along with Kyouko. The elephant familiar, having lost her precious trunk, repeatedly stomping the ground in a berserk trance.
In another scene, Mami pointed several flintlocks at the bronze figure, firing them without mercy. The sharp deflect sound echoed its way to her however: a giant 8-arm figure dashed towards Mami's path, deflecting her gunshot with its 8 swords. With a sudden, yet clear view of the giant's figure, Mami instinctively summoned a ribbon towards the giant. While it did not do much good, other than the familiar using all her arms to slash away the ribbons, Mami smiled as she fired a second flintlock directly at its forehead; the giant stepped backwards in response, attempting to dodge the sudden attack.
Homura glanced at her 3 teamates, and with a doubtful face randomly fired at the 3 familiars and Kopeck, taking the time to snatch the 3 back. And then an idea came.
"We should think of a formation," Homura suggested.
"I agree," Mami replied. "As many as we are, we can't face this witch as effective without cooperation. At the very least we could keep our Soul Gem levels up without consuming much magic."
"I agree with Mami on that one," Kyouko nodded. "I mean, with 14 minutes before that powerful witch comes here, we should work together so that we can go all out, right?"
The final, yet silent nod from Sayaka finally settled in the issue.

Episode 7
"Nothing like it seemed to be."
ロネルムロネルムロネルムロネルムロネルム
"Ok, done..." Hikari held her hands between her black laptop, for the first tine ever drenched in sweat, oil, and crumbs of Kit Kat. "All that's left to do is the mass evacuation. Honestly, I never would have thought we'd encounter such a threat... that is... until now."
"Me either," Mai teleported for a few seconds, only to come back seconds later with a brown Mexican hat in her head.
"Just how powerful can this witch get?" Hikari closed her black laptop, looking far away into the barely visible horizon.
"As they say, powerful enough to end the world," Mai said in a monotone. "I still need the laptop..."
"Oops, sorry," opening the laptop yet again, 10 new messages appeared at the monitor, mostly cries for help.
"Be back in a second," Mai replied. "Ikaru City, Kuroune City, Sendai City..."
A few seconds passed by, this time, she returned with a bag of M&M's and a few Kisses, all clearly written in English.
"Oii," Hikari caught the girl Mai's attention. "I thought too much use of your teleportation will exhaust you Soul Gem."
"No need," Mai replied, opening a pack of Kisses. "I have 30 Grief Gems anyway..."
"...Seriously?" Hikari's other companion, turned her back to Mai. "Was that prospect in Furukawa City really that effective?"
"Well," Mai sighed. "With Kyubey recruiting like... 20 mahou shoujos to the area, no wonder that city became an instant hotspot."
"Kyubey, shady as ever," Hikari's companion lowered her voice. "God, if I had the chance, I'd just punch him in the face, you know...? Last time he did something sinister like that, I heard he recruited two girls in Asunaro City."
"Umm...?" Mai was listening.
"Let's see, I heard the name was Yuuri... or was it Airi?" the girl scratched her head for a while. "Oh yeah Yuuri and Airi. Let's see... I heard Kyubey recruitted this girl Yuuri first just so that she'd turn into a witch. He then used that to recruit this girl Airi to sever the residential mahou shoujos there. It was evil I tell you! EEEVIIILL!"
A depressed Hikari sighed, "Too bad it's not in our policy to tell about mahou shoujos turning witches or anything like that. We all know what usually happens to those who can accept that fact. They either go insane, or lose their sense of living. It's a bit selfish, yes, but without this global network and its policy, territory borders would have become very dim, conflict would always occur on a global basis, and of course, the witch population would spiral out of control."
"How long has it been this way? 30 years?" Mai asked. "It was better this way. Girls like us at the start are usually naive. We never accepted the truth, unlike now. And when they see that everything they knew is nothing like when it seemed to be, they break down."
A gust of wind dragged her Mexican hat through the ravaging skyscraper currents.
"That was my favorite hat..." Mai sighed.
Silence fell upon the three for a few seconds, followed by a sudden gust of wind, noisily fluttering the girls' skirts.
"I thought you were always silent?" Hikari scratched her head.
Mai looked far above the sky, ending doubtful thought with a sigh.
"Me too," Mai monotonously replied.
「Mai's Soul Gem: 18% Darkened」
"Ok, that's the plan," Homura, in mid-time freeze, said to the three surprised mahou shoujos.
"Seriously?" a stunned Kyouko shouted in front of the suicidal, nearly emotionless-looking girl. "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
"I'd be glad to entertain any better ideas," Homura said. "Oh wait, there's nothing else beside it."
"You can say you're right, but isn't this a little bit TOO risky?" Mami asked.
"Not really," Homura pointed to the giant familiar. "The key is in the nature of the witch itself. Basically, the witch is money obsessed so the key is to lure the familiars to their positions with it."
"Anyway, if she's trying to die, then let her be, anyway," Sayaka turned her head around, looking intently at the familiar's figures. "You said you can stop time for 10 minutes, correct?"
"Yes, although it has a cooldown now..." Homura replied. "30 seconds at the very least."
HOMU: Ready?
KYOUKO: Damnit.
With the the click of a gear, everything moved again with time quickly returning to normal, Homura finally started:
"Ok, Formation 6!"
Sayaka went ahead of Homura to the front, sweeping away dollar paper money that barraged the 4. The snake familiar, Notgeld, spewed out a dozen acid venom shots, only to miss the target, as Homura turned around, suddenly back-flipping, blocking the attack in mid-air.
"C'mon... almost there..." Sayaka simply ran, dragging her light-weight sword along the now yellow-green plains of Kopeck's barrier. Slashing and spinning away a couple of incoming dollar notes, both Homura and Sayaka would make a perfect ballet pair, synchronizing attacks and defense with utmost grace, as if they were dancing thier way towards Kopeck.
"Amazing..." Mami could only comment.
"Oii...stick to the plan, Tomoe-san," Kyouko exclaimed, pulling out her spear to her side. Spinning her spear throughout her body, a fence checkered barrier dragged her body like a wave board.
"Learning new tricks, as always," Mami took out her hat, summoining several flintlocks out of it like a magician taking out bunnies from her hat.
"And you learning so many ways to take out your guns," Kyouko smirked, attempting a direct stab at the giant familiar, Sheqel, and unfortunately missed, blocked by her 8 swords. "You're a puella magi, not a magician."
"Neither are we hoarders, are we?" Mami responded, firing several flintlock shots at the Anaconda-like familiar, hitting several parts of its bodies. A venom "Akemi-san, we're in position!"
"Hmph, Sayaka, let's go," Homura ran in front Sayaka. With a quick signal from Mami, Homura backflipped foward a few times, signaling a jump from Sayaka.
"Here goes nothing...!" Sayaka jumped, up up into the air, while Homura dashed towards Kopeck, reaching for her lightsaber in her vast hyperspace arsenal.
By mere instinct, the elephant familiar, Rupee, dashed towards Homura, with the intention of blocking its path. She, however, merely smiled. Reading everything like a book, she took out a grenade, and pulled the pin, throwing it merely 3 meters before the witch. Then, expecting another attack, she quickly turned around to block a certain giant's attack. It was Sheqel, who had barely escaped Kyouko's assault, repeatedly slashing her with her 8 swords. Blocking them yet again with a shield, Homura just as swiftly side-stepped, silently counting her way the victory...
1, 2, 3, Boom!
The final piece pierced the elephant's feet, rolling in agony as her inertia kept her body moving, tackling Kopeck with a force of several trains. Kopeck, who didn't expect such a clever attack from a puella magi, only got herself tackled down, with her horses tumbling down like domino pieces. Mami quickly took the opportunity, accurately shooting the horse's feet.
"Every piece has been gathered," Homura muttered. "Sayaka!"
Sayaka nodded as she spun around in mid-air, insinctively calling out an attack:
Ceathrú-ais Slais!
A white slash radiated in front of the 4, fully cutting Kopeck's figure in half. Suddenly exploding with a white puff-like blast, the familiars which they had been facing suddenly disintegrated like sand, and the surrounding walls finally started reforming back to their original places. A bank appeared right where they stood, decorated with red-crimson bricks. An 'Open' sign appeared at its entrance gate, and chairs surrounded the blue-tiled floor, with 3 cashier statations at the front, and a not-so-noticable light-blue backdoor door.
"A closed bank, huh?" Kyouko glanced at the front desk, followed by an abrupt frown. "I guess that witch used a bankrupt bank..."
"Yeah, I wonder why..." Mami's voice died out.
"Mami-sempai?" Sayaka asked. "A-are you alright?"
A heartfelt silence took over the two.
A feeling they never experienced before.
To know... the truth, to know what you defeated...
To know that she was just someone who let despair take over her.
"It's best if we silently pay our respects for later," Homura said.
Mami nodded quickly wiped away her eyes. "I think it would be best if we act quickly."
"Yeah," Kyouko agreed. "Sayaka...don't you agree...?"
"Y-Yeah..." Sayaka scratched her head. "That witch turned out pretty hard, huh?"
Homura blinked. What did she just heard?
"Hard...?" Mami raised her eyebrow. "I thought it was supposed to be easy..."
Sayaka sheepishly laughed, "Hahaha, I guess so..."
A sudden gust flew open the window, nearly breaking the glass doors. It was an unusual relief though that there wasn't a single person outside. Who knows what would've happened if somebody mistook them for bank robbers.
"We ahould go, quickly," Homura muttered. "Gretchen's nearly here."
A tall man, wearing a black jacket and blue pants passed the bank, wearing a bland expression. A strange circular mark surrounded by small archaic runes formed a sort-of magicial circle on his forehead. It was the Kriemhild Gretchen's mark.
A shadow passed through a small skyscraper, dissappearing in the next second as it passed by Homura and the other 3 mahou shoujos, jumping her way through countless skyscrapers as she dashed far west. The shadow seemed to have brought a strange human-shaped shilloutte.
A familiar figure took Mami's attention from the skyline's view. Mami turned her head to her right. It was Sayaka.
"Did you see something, Mami-sempai?" Sayaka got ahold of Mami's hand.
Mami turned back towards the skyscrapers. Nothing.
"N-no, not really," Mami turned to Homura. "Ready?"
And then they were gone.
ニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニコ
Sayaka angrily mumbled, unable to speak with a sock on her mouth. Tied between her two hands, and two feet, with a girl carrying her, they dashed through the city, passing by the city with the swift wind, as if the whole city's just a 10 minute walk to the other side. Whatever happened, it was fast, merely snatching her in the middle of a witch's barrier is damn miracle, for God's pulled her tongue upwards and outwards, trying to get the sock out of her mouth. A gasp escaped her mouth, followed by a cough, as she saw the very bottom of the skyscraper. Thousands of people, all piled up like sardines, all as small as a pin, walking towards the East Gate...it must be...
They were flying.
Sayaka nearly bit her toungue as she spit out the sock in her mouth, "Man, you're so good aren't you? W-who... are you...? Where are you taking me?"
The girl responded with a silent graze.
"Your answers will be answered..." the mysterious girl's voice displayed emptiness. "...but not you. You're for them..."
She waved her hands towards Sayaka's Soul Gem ... and removed it.
"Wait...what are... you doing...?" Sayaka's voice wavered as consciousness started fading. Her hands instinctively tried breaking free, trying to get her Soul Gem backm but it was no use. Her own strength was quickly losing its luster, and her own 5 senses started dwindling like twilight.
"Don't worry, you won't feel a thing, Sayaka-chan," the girl's voice crackled a bit. "Just rest..."
That instant, Sayaka's Soul Gem dissipated...
ニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニエニコ
"So...it is..." Hikari held her hands between her laptop. "...she's coming... I can feel it."
"This...force...what...is this...?" Hikari's companion took a step backward.
A strange energy was radiating from a mountain in the East. Call it a dark eerie force, if you may. Whatever it is or whoever it was, it had already affected much of the city. In the next instant, without a speck of control, thousands of people stopped everything they were doing, and, like mere cult followers, have started walking towards the mountain, as if it was merely a pilgrimage to the Celestial City. As if everybody suddenly saw a sight too beautiful to ignore, they all started staring at the East Gate, eager to leave the wretched place they called Destruction City, ready to die for the sake of a united paradise. Nothing can stop them now...
They knew it was merely a taste of the Kriemhild Gretchen's power...
"These people..." Mai responded. "They're most likely marked with the witch's kiss now."
"Yes," Hikari nodded, but almost suddenly, she gave a surprised look. "Is that... a child over there?"
Mai looked down, looking at the waves of people flowing out of the city to the East. In the gap of the large stream or people, a green dot in the midst of it all doesn't seem to intend to do anywhere but to the side of the road, trying to bump the other dots to pass her through but without success.
"It's that girl..." Mai muttered.
"What do you mean...?" Hikari's companion scratched her head.
ニエニエニエニエニ
"Umm...eto..."
Yuma glanced around her surroundings, her head merely running around in circles as she, stuck in-between humongous crowds of people, pushed through the suffocating and one-direction wave, trying to make her way towards the side of the road. But, as if the crowd itself had a single thought, the people kept bumping repeatedly at Yuma with utmost ignorance, unwilling to let her pass through.
"Ummph!" Yuma kicked one of the people in the way in her annoyance, displaying a fit of anger and annoyance, a sour face coupled with a few outbursts of exasperation. "Meanie...!"
It did merely nothing, not even a response nor any change in the man's attention. The man, unabashed by such a small girl's actions, merely ignore the twerp, never turning his face around nor talking notice of the one that kicked her ankle. It was the sign of complete and utter ignorance.
All of a sudden, 4 girls appeared right above her, all aboard on a semi-transparent board with a shield at its center. It was Homura, Mami, Sayaka, and Kyouko, all displaying blank, emotionless faces at each other.
"Kyouko-chan?" Yuma couldn't believe her eyes. "W-W-W-What are y-you...?"
Kyouko snapped, recognizing the high-pitched child-mahou shoujo that is Yuma, looking downwards at the tyke with dilated eyes.
"...Yuma-chan?" Kyouko's face lost color, shouting in a matter never seen by both Homura and Mami. "What'r ya doing here, brat? Weren't ya supposed to be at the hotel...?"
Mami simply sighed, "Kyouko, don't tell...me..."
Kyouko blinked back at Mami, then back at Yuma. Then back at Mami, she vigorously shook her head in denial.
"N-No," Kyouko quickly realized what she meant. "What 'r ya talking about? She's an adopted child... yeah...!"
A sheepish laugh came off from her.

Yuma Chitose
Weapon: Staff with a Ball and cat's tail
Specialty: Healing Magic
Nationality: Japanese
Description: Yuma is described as the smallest and youngest girl known to the world of puellae magi. Being merely an elementary student with a height around 4'1", with short, green hair and a 'chubby' moe appearance, anyone can easily mistake her for a lost child, especially when around her permanent caretaker, Kyouko Sakura.
It all happened when, she, merely 2 weeks ago, watched a witch attack that killed her family. Kyouko, seeing this and being reminded of her own past, saved her from the witch, taking pity on Yuma to the point of training her (Yuma) under her (Kyouko's) wing. Kyouko would often teach Yuma her values, living as loners outside of known society.
Eventually, Kyouko herself discovered Yuma's even more traumatic past. She revealed that she was raised as an abused child. Her parents always argued, causing her father to never be home, while her mother physically and emotionally abused her by scarring her with cigarette burn marks on her forehead underneath her hair and telling her she's worthless. This eventually created a powerful bond between them over a common troubled past with their families.
However, one night in one of Kyouko's witch scouts, a mysterious mahou shoujo appeared to her in the dark, revealing an almost unavoidable fate laid out for Kyouko, a fate where only death would await her. So, fearing for her caretaker Kyouko's life, she took the one thing Kyouko herself said not to do: to make a contract. Thus, the youngest mahou shoujo was born. Surprisingly, it was really the case - faced between life and death, Kyouko herself would have died without Yuma's single wish: to be able to heal her.
Never knowing who the culprit was, she set her sights on Mitakihara City, a city just 4 km west from there, with the initial intent of finding out who this mysterious mahou shoujo was. However, she did not find anything other than Homura, so they went to Furukawa City, where she met Mami and Mai for a while. This also turned as futile, but, hearing from Mai of new pospects in Takunashi City, they went there, leading events up to today.
As merely a child taken out of an abusive, now dead family, she would often alternate between acts of maturity and childishness, showing delight in small things and childlike affection towards Kyouko, but also seriousness when events require it. She can be hot-headed and prone to spontaneous acts and, much like Madoka, exhibits insecurity and a strong feeling of self-worthlessness. In Yuma's case, this could be explained by her back story as an abused child and orphan. Yuma, like other magical girls, exhibits a desire to help others and contracts to help Kyouko, although, like other girls, really isn't a completely selfless desire. The thing that Yuma would fear the most would be being abandoned. Unfortunately that's what Kyouko would often do, leaving her behind some fancy hotel from dusk 'til dawn... nevertheless she would often understand, as it was clear how Kyouko cares for her in spite of everything she did, a fact Kyouko herself had accepted...
Her cat-like appearance would often make her the most moe of any puella magi, complete with white cat-like ears, a staff with a ball and cat's hat, cat's and a frilly green dress with a white center stripe, with a ribbon near her neck where her Soul Gem is 'conveniently' placed at the center and 'ittle ribbons before her ankle, adding for her cuteness factor. Using her staff, she can create Earth-shaking waves, powerful enough to mostly stun the enemy and finish the enemy off with Kyouko's attack.
ー～ー～ー～ー～ー～ー
"We need to act," Homura bluntly interrupted the three. "That includes saving all unnecessary conversation for later."
Homura quickly reached her own smooth hand to Yuma's little hand, grabbing hold her. Then, without any kind of hesitation, quickly lifted her board along with Yuma, who had just held on to Homura.
"What the hell...?" Kyouko quickly reacted. " 'r ya tryin' to kill her?"
Homura never moved an inch, except to pull Yuma even further into the board, with Sayaka reaching for the girl's other hand without a word.
"I guess that's a no," Kyouko sighed, turning her head away as if no conversation ever happened.
All a sudden, a girl appeared right in front of Homura, swiftly touching her forehead.
"Woah, Mai-chan?" Sayaka's forehead felt the girl's touch.
"Blink!" Mai grinned. "To jail with you, traitor!"
She jumped to a nearby metallic platform, an emergency fire exit corridor, separated floor by floor by several retractable ladders. Surprised by Mai's sudden actions, she looked at Homura, whose eyes have suddenly changed to that of a bright purple.
"Who are you?" Homura jumped straight towards Sayaka, suddenly having a pistol pointed in the so-called Sayaka's head.
Mami silently gasped.
"Oh?" a smile escaped the impostor. "I've been caught? I never expected such a development from you Akemi-san... now please tell everyone my name already..."
Homura flipped, firing a bullet at Sayaka's head. She quickly dodged the bullet, jumping upwards through several floors of skyscrapers.
"This wasn't supposed to happen," Sayaka muttered. "Just what did that girl want? Even telling me specifics..."
Two shadows appeared right above her, charging for her with a light saber. She swiftly dodged the light saber, jumping towards a higher platform to the emergency fire exit stairways...
"Tsk..." Sayaka smiled, suddenly turning into a shadow. "You don't know anything... do you think that ability of yours can give you infinite knowledge?"
Homura neglected the shadow's echoing words, continuing on firing at the shadow with a pistol.
"Neither do you," Homura took out a flash grenade from her shield, throwing it directly at the shadow.
"Ha! Just as expected," the shadow the shadow retreated, turning human again as she jumped into a nearby flag pole, swinging around into an open window. She jumped through several cabinets, jumping as she reached the ventilator, and quickly ran through the building as she turned into a shadow yet again. Homura quickly followed, jumping through the next window, repeatedly shooting the ventilators.
「Homura's Soul Gem: 1% Darkened」
"Tomoe-san?" Mai looked at the girl with utmost interest. A girl, looking at the pale-blue sky slowly, but surely turning gray with each second.
"I'm still a bit nauseous," Kyouko head nearly dropped, her face turning pale. "Damnit, teleporting us while falling, then teleporting us to a giant mattress warehouse in India, then here? God! What were you two thinking?"
"At least we were fine, right?" Mami smiled. Her ears were still ringing though, most especially due instantaneous changes in atmospheric pressure.
Kyouko neglected the optimistic idealist, looking far beyond the horizon. Letting out a sigh, she said, "You could've least let us stay there... I mean, that witch will be coming in a few moments, right?"
Mai cleared her throat, just before starting to speak, "Orders from Ky... Akemi were to teleport you here and wait for her. She specifically stated that we would be going to Asunaro City, in a brief search for a mahou shoujo named Kazumi. According to her, she is supposed to be her ultimate weapon against Kriemhild Gretchen."
"Kyouko-sempai?" Yuma stared at the nauseous and pale Kyouko. "Should...I...?"
Kyouko quickly got herself up, "I'm fine, I'm fine..."
"But," Yuma kept holding on to her blue short jeans. "I... I wanna help..."
Kyouko's teeth grinned, "You... you don't get it do you... This is war, Yuma. Just stay behind me, and you'll be safe. It was bad enough you made the contract."
"She wants to help, you know... you should let her be." Mami said.
"She's a kid, for crying out loud!" Kyouko replied.
"B-But..." Yuma sniffed. "I-I don't w-wanna be useless..."
Kyouko snapped, "I don't care if you become useless... you don't have to kill yourself!"
Kyouko walked towards the side of the skyscraper, pointing at the thousands of people parading towards the East Gate.
"See those people?" Kyouko shouted. "We know this is no oridinary witch! And if you want to die... well I won't let you! I've seen enough people dying for my sake or for my fault... Be a little more selfish! Do you think I rescued you from that witch for nothing?"
A sudden gust twirled around the area, followed by a large whoosing sound, coming from the West as it went to the East. Kyouko quickly noticed the sound, looking above to find a dark-green helicopter, with the words SDF on its side, flying their way to the East Gate.
"The military?" Mami looked back on the ground. "The situation's getting worse. Mai, how many minutes left?"
"8 minutes."
「Kyouko's Soul Gem: 5% Darkened」
"Hahaha! Hahahaha!" the shadow kept on dodging Homura's attacks, jumping from on cabinet to the next as Homura continuously fired on the shadow, often throwing them away in favor of several more rifles, firing them as they ran along several corridors. The shadow quickly turned right, Homura following the shadow through several corridors, until finally, they reached a dark room, filled with several planets, all lined up as they revolve around a yellow ball of light, with several small, twinkling lights swirling around it. A blue-green light stopped, while every other light continued on revolving one another, as if that single light never saw its full rotation ever again.
"You don't know anything, this world isn't your playground, Akemi-san…" the shadow whispered. "I'll be waiting with Sayaka at the Asunaro City Stadium, 2 minutes after this. See you there…"
Homura lost the shadow, as it crept into a pipe. Homura felt tears flowing out of her eyes as she looked upon the blue-green light. She knew exactly what the wish she took costed… a world where it never moves itself again. A word dropped from her mouth.
Madoka…
Then, she disappeared.
「Homura's Soul Gem: 4% Darkened」
Where am I?
Where is this?
The white void didn't answer, and a strange feeling entered her thought; this feeling of weightless swirling behind her in an endless repetition. Are the words "We've entered in an endless recursion of time" even enough in this case?
Is she dead?
Had she been engulfed by that pink-dyed explosion?
Where is Kazumi?
Where's Homura?
Where's San Francisco?
Thought after thought kept on repeating itself, turning the white void into black and back to white yet again.
The white void kept on creeping in her soul, as if filling up her doubts. And then, as if for an instant, a feeling of nothingness overwhelmed him. As if falling from a building with the gravity encircling around him, she couldn't feel anything, except the pressure of her own Soul Gem, as if it was being sucked into a different dimension. Her vision wavered, shaking heavily as a familiar scene entered her.
Skyscrapers...?
Is this...
"No... way... ?" Sayaka looked at herself yet again. Her hands are the same, unfortunately, and her suit: a mahou shoujo. She took out her Soul Gem, this time to make sure everything's alright.
"Just as I thought..." Sayaka sighed, but...
"No... way..." Sayaka shivered. Could it be...? Sayaka looked around, her eyes swirling 'round. She panicked towards the edge of the roof. A heartbeat escaped him.
"This... is... Japan... Asunaro City!" Sayaka gasped. "B-but how...!"
"I see my powers still clouded your sense of reason," the girl, covered this time in a cape, with a large silver-lined witch hat covering her eyes, appeared just in front of Sayaka. "That's good. Homura, Mami, and the others in San Francisco won't suspect a thing."
"What do you mean...?" Sayaka, still stunned, looked at the girl yet again. A gust fluttered the mysterious girl's hair. Black strands of hair mixed within her long predominantly pink hair. A black cape covered most her face, with pink eyes covering her face "Is... this... the past...?"
The girl kept silent.
Looking from afar, her face...her eyes, as covered as it is, were locked at nothing but the sky.
The girl kept silent.
Looking from afar, her face...her eyes, as covered as it is, were fixated at sky.
"Somebody's watching us..." The girl said."I'll tell you what to do later..."
"Welcome back, Sayaka-chan..." Her low, near-silent voice shivered.

(OP Name: Phantasm of Memories from the Touhou BGM The Genkyosko The Gods Loved)
A huge skyscraper would be displayed, there, a mysterious girl, with a silver lined witch-like hat and a covered cape would be looking at Homura, Mami, Kyouko, and Mai. Her mix of pink and black hair would escape out of her cape, and teardrop would fall from her eye.
Then Cue Puella Magi Madoka Magica logo...
(short interlude)
The next scene would be in a beach (San Francisco), with Zhuo, glancing around the teams of mahou shoujos, Mai would telport, and Zhuo, who saw his pevious blueprints trampled upon, displayed a usual fit of rage... Cue another next scenes: Kyouko and Yuma (from Oriko) leading others to hunt witches, Sayaka looking at the far horizon, Mami with Kazumi looking at the surrounding area, meeting other majou shoujos and boosting thier morale, then above the scene, Juubey displaying his signature creepy smile.
In the next scene: display all members of the Pleides Saints: Umika, Kaoru, and all the others... (They'e actually 7 members, including Kazumi)
Near the chorus: Homura would look at the west at the setting sun with hope, Mami and Kazumi with worry, Kyouko and Yuma would smirk. Then, a scene in Mitakihara City: it was Madoka, this time with dark pink palette version of herself, black eyes with pink pupils, and a yandere smile.
Chorus: Homura and the others would run through the highways of Japan, blocking various attacks from some controlled puella magi. Homua would 'teleport' out of the way, with Sayaka charging the enemy with her sword, wth Mami firing a flintlock, and Zhuo attacking using her own style with her endless pins. Then they'll see Madoka, now Kriemhild Gretchen, of which she'll attack with a dark-pallete version of her bow with a dark red-pink flame. Homura would block with her shield, Kazumi would activate her Type 2 mode, and Homura would fire various guns to her, only to be blocked...and the fight goes on...
Something like that.
