Chapter 5

-A Message From Kyubey-

If you haven't yet figured out, a Puella Magis' ability depends on their wish. For example a healing wish would speed up healing for you! Wouldn't it be cool to have an ability? Become a Puella Magi and find out!

"All I'm finding are these crappy familiars! When am I going to get to the witch?" Sayaka grumbled. She wasn't doing it for the Grief Seed though. This time that witch got on her nerves by basically brainwashing Hitomi!

"Hey, loser!" Suddenly Sayaka was met with a red-haired Puella Magi! In her mouth was a stick of Pocky. "Mami may still be here but this area is still sweet. I ain't looking forward to sharing this with two others. You are a rookie anyway, so all I have to do is beat the crap out of you!" The girl smirked. Man, she just got to first place on the list of people who are jerks!

"So, when'ya gonna fight? Are you wimpin' out on me?" Sayaka wouldn't back down from a challenge. "Before I murder you I suppose you'd like to know the name of the last person you meet. I'm Kyouko, remember that in Hell." The girl laughed pompously.

"I bet you want to know who's going to take those words and crush them. I'm Sayaka!" she boldly declared.

"Oh, finally toughing up huh! You're too naïve!" Kyouko rushed at her with her spear.

Before Sayaka knew what was happening the spear almost pierced her chest! Luckily she darted away and aimed for Kyouko. But, a chain-like thing wrapped around her legs sending her to the ground. She looked at the spear. It was split apart! Now she finally got it, Kyouko used a multi-parted spear. "Thought I'd only see that in anime." Sayaka thought. She had to get away quickly. Suddenly Kyouko's spear grazed her soul gem! A wave of pain rushed through her body and she fell to the ground.

"I knew you were a wimp! You can't even take a little bit of spear to the soul gem?" Kyouko laughed at the failure of Sayaka.

Sayaka stumbled up trying to support herself with her cutlass. "Guess you ain't so weak after all. Tryin' to put up a fight?" Kyouko lunged her spear at Sayaka, but was stabbed by her cutlass! All Kyouko saw was a blur of blue before she was hit.

"That ain't somethin' ya see evr'yday," the redhead said with a smirk. She took out a stick of Pocky. "I guess I ought a be serious now!"

Sayaka was surprised at this! Kyouko wasn't even trying? Before she could continue her thought, parts of the spear were wrapped around her legs sending her down to the ground, once again.

"Always gettin' caught in that. What are you some one-trick pony? Pathetic." Kyouko started walking over to Sayaka.

"How could I get caught in this? I must look so weak!" Sayaka grumbled to herself.

"So, any last words?" The older girl smirked down at her menacingly.

"That is enough, Sakura Kyouko." An even more menacing-looking figure glared at the two.

"She really likes using the first and last names," thought Sayaka.

"Normally I wouldn't care what you would do. But, the death of Miki Sayaka would cause despair to her." Homura glanced at Sayaka, but quickly looked away. "Sakura-san, you are foolish as always."

Kyouko seemed surprised for a moment but said, " Tch, fine, I just wanted to see how long she'd last." She looked at Sayaka, who by now had been released from the chains, and said, "Work on not being so weak. Then maybe you'd win."

"Sayaka-chan! You're back. Are you injured? Do you need help?" Madoka fussed over her like a parent would do to a child.

"Yeah, just got a little bit roughed up. Not much wrong though!" Sayaka laughed merrily.

"Sayaka-chan." Madoka said with a hint of sadness. She knew that Sayaka was worried about something. But, what could she do? She knew she wanted the strength to help Sayaka! But, what would she think about that? A very confused Madoka walked back home with her friend.
