"Mami Tomoe?"
Mami turned to see a girl in a purple school like uniform a few houses down from where Mami stood. She could tell the girl was a magical girl, but she had never seen her before. This girl had a serious look to her and she could tell that she approached Mami on strictly business.
"Yes?" Mami replied facing the girl more.
"I'm Homura Akemi. I need your help," the girl said walking towards Mami. "You're soon going to meet a girl named Madoka. You must NOT let her become a magical girl."
Mami was thrown back by this request. She didn't expect it at all. Why would this girl want to stop someone from becoming one.
"But...why?" Mami asked.
"Our fate and this world's fate depends on it. If she becomes one, this world will be destroyed."
Mami's eyes widened in shock. Homura turned and to walk away.
"W-wait!" Mami shouted at her but the girl suddenly disappeared.
Homura empty her chamber into her 37th Kyubey. Her clothes when back to normal and she fell to the ground panting. She looked at her grief seed. She was gonna need to kill a witch soon.
"You can't keep this up you know..." A voice sounded from behind her. Homura didn't need to turn around to know it was Kyubey.
"I can keep this up as long as I want." Homura panted. "I won't stop."
"Just what are you trying to accomplish? You won't be able to ever completely kill me you know?"
"You think I don't know that? I just need to prolong this. I'm halfway through the month. Once the month's over, I'll be fine."
"How will you fight Walpurgis Night in this condition? I know you are aware of him. As you are aware of where I am. You have a special power. One I'm not quite sure of, but have a speculation on what it is. You need other magical girls to defeat it." Kyubey jumped from the ledge he was sitting on behind Homura and walked in from of her.
"I don't need anyone! I can do it on my own!"
"You are too weak to defeat it. You need another magical girl. I have my eye on someone who could defeat her for you."
"NO! YOU WILL NOT TOUCH MADOKA!" Homura swung her fist at Kyubey. Kyubey dodge it.
"So that's who you're protecting..."
Kyubey quickly disappeared. Homura stood up to chase him but collapsed again.
"Damnit! Damnit!"
Homura stumbled towards the nearest witch she knew of. She walked into the barrier. She heard voices ahead.
"You did it, Mami!"
Homura froze. She knew exactly what was head of her. She ran quickly as possible towards the area with the witch and fired her qun quickly. Charlotte recoiled back away from Mami's head in surprised. Mami turned around and stumbled back. She had thought she killed that witch. Homura froze time and quickly killed off the witch. Everything disappeared from around them as the barrier disappeared. A grief seed dropped to the ground. Homura quickly grabbed it and cleansed her soul gem. She then sharply turned to Mami.
"I told you Madoka was not to become a magical girl! What is she doing here?!" Homura shouted at Mami.
"I know what you've been up to, Homura Akemi!" Mami's face got serious and cold. "I know you've been trying to kill Kyubey!"
"Hmm! I see he forgot to mention that he will always have replacements for himself?" Homura retorted at her thinking of how foolish Mami is.
"Replacements? What is this? Another way to try to decieve me? What is your real motive, Homura?"
"My motive is what I already told you! Madoka is not to become a magical girl!"
"She's our only way to stop Walpurgis Night! Are you trying to doom us?!" Mami said stepping closer to Homura.
"If she becomes a magical girl, we're all doomed!" Homura said as she closed the gap between her and Mami.
"STTTOOOOPPP!"
Homura and Mami paused and looked. Madoka was standing there shaking and in tears.
"Just stop fighting," Madoka said quieter. "I don't get any of this, but you're fighting isn't going to solve anything. I just want us to get along."
Homura sighed. She was gonna have to do this the hard way. She froze time and then unfroze it. Mami and Madoka were unaway what happened until Madoka let out a scream. There lying on the sidewalk was Kyubey with several big bullet holes in him.
"When did that-?" Mami said startled.
"If ever see him again, you'll know who's telling the truth," Homura said. She then quickly disappeared.
