Janeth – Lance Armstrong once quoted 'Pain is Temporary; Quitting is Forever.' You don't know how much that applies to a Magical Girl, but it's worse if you really acknowledge your own pain. Every female who lives the life of a Magical Girl has a sworn duty and defeat witches, to save worlds from ever being erased from existence. It's an endless cycle though. One thing I know about witches, is that they're made either from curses, or from former Magical Girls of the past. I've accepted it all. I knew the pain was too good to be avoided, and it's lucky I did before I could become a witch myself.

From the time I left my own world of three cities, I changed. Maybe I changed for better or for worse, but at least I'm able to move on continuously. I've lived centuries thanks to my own power. I stayed 14 years old, and did what I can for my world, falling apart by the now destroyed empire. My job there was finished, but I visited them a few times in my life. Though… I always had different appearances at that.

I travel different dimensions and different worlds. I'm not stopping, because my existence is dependent on the existence of witches, the plagues of humanity because of grief. Witches turn into grief seeds, something that saves my soul gem from being corrupted. It's not like I'm on the run from my own death. Everybody's gotta die sometime, right?

But I didn't. I stayed up for so long, being patient and being systematic. I had no connections, no ties. I had a few, but it didn't last. It was all for me, my safety, and my survival. Everybody's got their own game.

Truth of the matter about my power is that it's given two times. One, with an umbrella containing the powers I needed. My Strike-Umbrella, became my extension, and forever a part of me. And the second is when I died in the evil emperor's hands, while visited by both the Primordial Goddess, and the Law of Cycles. It was incredible. To equal an incubator, they're the ones who awakened me to be the true Magical Girl, now with the soul gem reacting like how it's supposed to. I know my own survival, and that's how I came to be an immortal in my own right.

I started to go to different worlds. Among those worlds, I took interest in a world that looked like the world that Madokami was in: Mitakihara, Japan. Although… it's a completely different universe, having witches of its own but of that time I arrived were few. I decided to have a look around and stay longer. What I found, was most interesting. After all (chuckles), it's a matter of time until I saw another like me.

ARC 1 – Rise of Nagisa

It was year 2009 if I'm right. I stayed there for a year posing as an independent child. I have to live there with a job. I know as much as a 14 year old, I can only do so much. I made cash with musical street performances with a trusty guitar I got from a famous musician who went by. It was fate that I predicted it to be, and I took care of what I have. I made cash from it. I can't ask too much, after all.

While I had a year of living there, I was looking for other girls. Life wasn't easy to go by, but they won't recognize me like a stalker. I'm an innocent as they see, but I'm different on the inside. I started to take a look for others, knowing that this town had a few witches going. Actually, 3 suicides happened the last week. Of course, they've been kissed. I just wonder how that town is defended in that same name of a city… It's time to really go and look into details of it all…

Morning… June 12, 2009…

The all-girls school of Mitakihara was a sight to see and Janeth was standing with her back on the pillar just seeing the front view of the school. School girls were walking their way by groups. They laughed and chatted with each other, and they were heard well by Janeth with the Japanese she already knew of a language.

The language was easy to master. After all, I was already around different worlds for it…

Janeth has been seeing the same thing: The schoolgirls who kept laughing and chatting. They're always in groups as she noticed, but as the last ones were entering the full school, one brown-haired student carrying a bag was noticed to be quite happy, but nervous at the same time. She took note of this kind to have differences of right and wrong occupying their heads, but it could mean other things. As she stopped analyzing, that same girl went in the school past the gate. 'Hm… Interesting, perhaps?'

It's the same as always. I get to see schoolgirls in groups. It's been the same since last year, but that girl I saw was somehow different. She's someone who's rather… very much a candidate to be a Magical Girl, but I have to wait. She can't be forced to be presented that kind of power, yet. Actually, she has to be presented the situation that's happening in the town alone. There's more of those witches around the world, and I'm only patient seeing life go by for some reason. But this was worth it. I got myself a good candidate…

Nagisa, the same brown-haired girl that Janeth saw was opening her locker. She yawned, knowing she didn't do much from last night, and her homework could have been done than just watching her favorite show. What would the teacher say again? But as she closed the locker…

"Nagisa!" Another girl shocked her before Nagisa fell on her 'behind.' This girl had blonde hair, since she's half Spanish. "Gyah! I'm sorry!" She ran and helped Nagisa up to stand. "I'm sorry, Nagisa-chan. Did I hurt you?"

"No, no, it's fine. Really. I'm fine!"

"Hey, I'm sorry if I did that."

"It's no biggie, really. Hehe…" Nagisa laughs uneasily. "Hey, Julia. Got any homework for me to see?"

"Eh?! You didn't do yours again?! This is the third time this week!"

"I-I'm sorry!" Nagisa's silly act of crying was done in front of Julia. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's just that I couldn't really miss my show! This country of ours is good I get addicted to anime!"

"SNAP OUT OF IT, NAGISA!" Julia put a wave against Nagisa before the acting girl stopped her act. "Okay, okay. You can copy from my homework again. It's a good thing this subject is on the afternoon. Now are we gonna get to homeroom, or not?"

"Eh?" Nagisa then realized that time that the hall of the first floor was empty. "EH?! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE AGAIN! RACE YOU THERE!" Nagisa ran and left a tumbling Julia to the floor, thanks to the same person. She didn't even notice her friend had her friend stuck in a locker.

In a classroom during class…

Nagisa was pretty much paying attention to Language class, while writing stuff on her notebook. It seems with her free hand she was holding a mathematics book, while she writes some things from it. 'At this rate, it's gonna be finished soon. I hope I don't get caught cheating though… This concerns numbers after all.'

Afternoon class…

She thought she could get away with it, but the same teacher from yesterday who taught the mathematics class is present and not sick. Nagisa thought she was organized, but she was a mess. But not to mention…

"A COPYCAT!" The female teacher with glasses shouted. "This piece of work you've done is simply ridiculous! You think it could fool me as much when you've so much been failing this class and two others?!"

Nagisa and Julia were in front of the teacher while the other students were behind them. They were standing in front of her desk, and the teacher kept rambling. Julia is in trouble this time for letting Nagisa copy her work, and being called in this way as well.

"I can't believe you just let her do that, Ms. Olguin! You've been succeeding so much in the subject, but what about the others?! Goodness, Nagisa is already having trouble maintaining herself, and you want to keep encouraging her for this?! I say, it's about enough. Maybe you helped her out, but help her out too much, and it's a bad thing, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE'S FAILING HERSELF! Therefore…" The teacher then raises the stamp, while an epic feeling from Julia of a falling stamp was making it quite scary for her. Everything was in slow motion as she yelled and denied she wanted to get a failing grade. But all her imagination was for nothing as beside Nagisa's homework with an F grading, the teacher stamps Julia's homework with an F grading as well. "I think you know what comes next. You two…" She then picks up two white dunce hats from beneath her table. "…have some sitting to do."

And at the end, the two were sitting in the corner with dunce caps on their heads. Julia glared at Nagisa for this. 'This is all your fault Nagisa! First time's the freakin' charm, you lazy-ass!' Julia's thoughts were full of hateful messages to Nagisa. She tried opening her mouth to say something to a depressed Nagisa but stopped when she saw the depression. She ended up closing her mouth staying silent. 'I just can't do it to someone like her. Perhaps a good time would come for it.'

1630 hours…

Half an hour after the class was over, the councilor's office was opened, and out came two almost depressed students, Julia and Nagisa. They didn't speak each other for the rest of the day, but walked together nonetheless. They knew they would both get in trouble by what they've done to each other. This is something they can't escape: Their own consequences. They've been given letters for themselves with a signature it was read. Otherwise, they'll have verbal communication with either their parents or their guardian. Such is life that it's maintained to have value, and should have it, even if it hurts a student.

1722 hours…

Janeth was watching far away as the two schoolgirls she saw were at a small playground. They were sitting together on the swings, talking about things she didn't hear from where she was. 'Looks like that girl's got a friend. Interesting. And it seems to really be depressing from the two of them. Tch… Not like so many, but students shouldn't be like this unless they got in trouble. Typical.' She looked around and winced as she thought she saw a white to silver colored cat jump off to avoid her sight. That time, the frames of her vision described that cat appearing to have four ears look at the two girls intently, just before she spots the same cat. She narrowed her eyes, knowing she was seeing an 'incubator.' 'Well this is convenient. Seems he's interested in those two, but which one? I'm sure it's just one of them. Or maybe both?' She looks back at the two on the swing. 'I gotta know who they are.'

In the school… 2215 hours…

The janitor and security guard just closed the gates of the school, and they were on their way home. What's around the night was quiet and it seemed to be peaceful.

Meanwhile at the second floor hallway, Janeth was entering through a window, and fell to the floor on her feet, letting her graceful Magical Girl attire sway. She had white themed attire, with a short dress with stockings and shoes, together with a chain armor on her chest and torso. She had a white sun hat and an umbrella. On her wrist was an attached soul gem, colored green together with her eyes in the beautiful shade of the same color. She calmly stood up straight and looked around, then started to walk towards the faculty office. Of course as she turned the knob, it was locked. Nothing much can be said, but she knows simple things can be done. She picked something from her pocket and took two lock-picking drivers before she started to work on the lock. It took a second for her to crack the lock and smiled at it before she turned the knob and opened the door. As she went in, however, she didn't notice the white cat was outside the door looking at her.

Janeth was already looking at the folder full of papers and patiently went through its pages. Nearby was a filing cabinet with one drawer already opened. She patiently looked at the pictures and the names of each student when suddenly…

"So it's true." A female's voice echoed in Janeth's head. "You really have been around."

Janeth turned to see a cat with four ears, and the same one she saw that afternoon. That time, the cat is on a desk. She smiled and closed the folder she held. "Finally. And you're a female."

"Apart from that, what are you here for?" The cat asked, making Janeth realize it was communicating with her telepathically. "It's been months, but I thought I've been having false detections of another Magical Girl."

"There are none. And I'm pretty disappointed by that."

"But you're here!" The cat jumped off the desk and walked towards Janeth. "How couldn't you show yourself?"

"It's because some things are a nuisance, but not witches. I have time for them, but not for you… at least not yet."

"So why are you here? What's so important in the town?"

"Somehow…" Janeth took a while before she continued. "I'm just looking for others like me, and spend time like a normal human should."

"A normal human?"

"Logically, I'm not from around here. I might be human, but I'm not a human of this Earth."

"Then that means…"

"EASY THERE!" Janeth demanded and the cat stopped talking. "Don't get other ideas. I'll just tell you directly, since we're in contact now. I come from another dimension, QB, if that's your name."

"It's Kyubey, whoever you are."

"Still, QB sounds just as well. Anyway, I come from a completely different reality, where no witches exist, and I was chosen to lay witches to rest."

"Then how are you able to be a Magical Girl?"

"It was given through my values. I was entrusted by a sampled power from a goddess of all reality. I died, proving my own values to her before everything else changed for me, as a True Magical Girl, especially when I was visited by someone special: The Law Of Cycles herself. That was before I lived again, and really had my powers."

"This is… hard to believe."

"Of course you won't believe it, because it doesn't make sense to you. Once in your life, it should. But for now…" Janeth opens the folder again and resumes where she left off, scanning the papers. "I'm looking for two girls. I believe you saw me looking at you."

"I always sensed something was up with you. I didn't place it right until I really saw you. You perform on the streets. Why?"

"It's a simple living I still miss. I was born from it anyway, so why not have that again? It's been a long time since I lived as a street performer." Janeth then stopped flipping pages as her eyes gazed on the short brown hair, and the same eyes of the same girl she saw from afar. "And it was all worth it." She then laid the folder on the desk, just before QB jumped on it, while examining the picture and name of the student. "Nagisa Ichihara. You were looking at her together with her friend, right? That's her."

"So you're interested in her too?"

"Knowing this city doesn't have its own Magical Girl, and with good thing I was around, it needs one, or two."

"Wait, you're not involving her friend, are you?"

"What do you think?" Janeth smirked at QB. "It's better if it's more than one, you know. You'll have to see if her friend is good as well." She then turned the page to see Julia Olguin's page and bio. "Julia Olguin, a transfer student from Spain. She's actually having better of a track record than Nagisa, while Nagisa herself had been quite a bit involved with physical confrontations. She's been bullied, unlike Julia here who's wise to stay away from trouble. From what I could analyze, they both seemed to be deeply troubled lately."

"That explains their negative emotions together."

"School isn't easy, if you're not easy, QB. That's what I've learned." Janeth's statement came on coincidence with a scream echoing from afar. Both of them heard it from outside the building, and it wasn't a normal voice of a female at all. It was horrific, giving the cold chill to anyone who hears it. "Witch." She mutters just before she closes the folder and puts it back in the filing cabinet. "We can deal with these girls later." As she closed the cabinet, she saw QB running towards the door. "Wait! QB!" And QB stopped to hear her out. "Where are you going?"

"I have to get those two! If they really are potential Magical Girls…"

"There's no time." Janeth puts her hand on her chest with pride. "If you're looking for a Magical Girl, you're looking at one."

"Are you doing it alone?"

"You have no idea how I handle a witch, whether I'm alone or with someone. And with how I handle them, I can manage." Janeth then proceeds to exit the room.

City limits, rooftops…

Janeth was using her speed and jumping skills while carrying QB towards the barrier ahead. "There it is! Looks like we're right on time."

"Careful. I'm sensing two witches instead of one. And their minions… Their minions are innumerable unless those two are defeated."

"It's not a problem. They'll be crushed within a minute."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I handle my slicing and shooting like butter." She smirked, knowing she had done this for centuries, and QB had no idea of it. "Wanna see?"

"I guess evaluating a Magical Girl such as you is not a problem."

"Then we have a deal."

"What deal?"

"As long as I'm around, and you try attempt getting those two in, and I can teach them what it means to be a Magical Girl."

"Will you, really?"

"I'm willing, since I AM one. It's only natural to help my fellow." Janeth replied it while doing one last jump. "This is it. Get ready!"

"I was always was. What's your name?"

"You can call me Janeth. Don't mistake of it, QB."

"My name is Kyubey, for the last time!" QB said it just before she was brought in together with Janeth through the barrier…
