Chapter 18

-A Message From Kyubey-

You don't? Then, why don't we watch, the end of the world together?

-End Message-

"Wait!" The pinkette rushed breathlessly toward Kyubey.

Her mother ran to her, but was hit against the building. Even though she was unable to hear the loud laughter, she could feel the fast, strong winds. Mrs. Kaname pushed on, and her husband had to drag her back in. Crying like an infant, she was carried away.

"M-Madoka" Homura said, shakily, "no! Stop!" She tried reaching for her, falling to the ground.

What is your wish, Kaname Madoka?

"I'm sorry, Homura-chan. This… this is my choice! I wish-"

She was an amazing Magical Girl, wasn't she? She beat Walpurgis easily.

"You…" The last Puella Magi, watched as witches destroyed the world.

Three witches, formerly know as her friends, hurried over to the shelter ready to feast. The building was destroyed in under a minute.

Those are strong, don't you think?

Homura said nothing. You could only watch in horror, as the structure was demolished. People scurried out, and were eventually caught. You wanted to look away, but… you couldn't help peeking a little.

I'd say that Kremchild will demolish the world in ten days. That is unless… someone makes a contract.

A look of fear spread across your face. It was hard to think of a wish on short notice. A black shadow spread across the sky, engulfing the world in black.

It was already too late.

People screamed, pointing to the sky. But their shrieks did not go unnoticed, it attracted them. One by one the last people were gone.

Only you and Homura were still alive.

Candeloro, Ocktavia, and Ophelia. That's what I shall call them.

"Fool." The black-haired girl said. She remembered past worlds, in which each of the witches had lived.

Did you think that you would beat fate this time, Akemi Homura?

Homura stared at him, intimidatingly.

Just because you got rid of Kyousuke.

"Sorry, but you'll have to be alone in this world with him." Flipping her long hair, she went back for another go.

"This time, I'll save her."

Kyubey talked, as he ate his old body. It was your choice to not make a wish. If you want to blame anyone, chose yourself.

You were speechless. This couldn't be your fault, could it?

You humans are so selfish. Did you think about the people in the storm shelter, when the witches attacked?

Before you opened your mouth to speak, Kyubey stopped you.

Don't answer it. You'll say yes. But, truthfully you wanted to run, not have the witches get to you.

"Are you that selfish?"

The question echoed around your brain, as you tried figuring it out.

Trying to justify your actions? Well, can't talk any more. Another empathetic world has been discovered.

Standing there, you watch as the party of witches commences. Sadly, the scent of a human does not go undetected. A growl from Ocktavia signals the other witches.

As Kyubey starts heading to a new planet, you are heading somewhere less pleasant.

While you sit in the witch's stomach, humanity has lost. Mankind will never again walk the once-beautiful Earth. Kremchild destroys the world.

The End
