The instant Madoka was no longer seen by Homura's eyes, Mitakihara turned into some kind of ruin. Buildings had vines all over them and they became damaged. Roads turned dirty and darker while there were cracks thanks to some sort of damage made to them. The surroundings still had the color of red while it was still daytime. It was hard to distinguish the time at this point.

Madoka had already been in the attire of the Law of Cycles ever since she woke up. Still, she had her reasons for not leaving that existence yet…

Janeth was leading Madoka through an alley. She didn't understand why Madoka didn't leave Mitakihara yet, but she knows it has something to do with Homura. This was all too familiar. Madoka always was a friend to Homura no matter how many times the world is turned, and even if she was the Law Of Cycles. Her thoughts were interrupted when Madoka called out to her.

"Janeth…" Madoka stopped walking and Janeth did the same. "You didn't need to do this for me. Liberating me from Homura won't really change anything."

"Are you sure?" Janeth asked this as she glared at Madoka. "She just wants to abuse you, still. And you keep protecting her." She took a while just before she sighed. "Hah… Look, she didn't destroy this world."

"It's because I'm still here. If I leave now, she'll make this world and reality collapse. I'm aware, and I have the power to make sure it doesn't happen unless I leave. And I'm not going to leave you."

"Don't concern yourself of me."

"Janeth… just stop." Madoka glares back at Janeth. "I've been the Law of Cycles enough to have glimpses of others who travel between realities. And the way I could describe you is that you're not leaving anyone behind no matter if you don't know the person. But you… know me. And I know you too. Don't think I haven't known you observing me since I was human. The values you've shown since I looked inside you… you were rough. You had it rough enough that you make sure no other person should experience what you did that you decide to save them for it. There's good in you and you haven't been seeing it."

"But you're different, Madoka."

"Perhaps. But as you said, even if I don't need to concern myself of you, it's my job and my willingness to have it so. I take in magical girls, at least those who are ready to succumb into witches. Now I have a different role while the moment still exists."

"Which is…?"

"Either convince Homura to return everything the way it was… or do it the hard way by defeating her. She had done so much for me… redoing every single day to prevent my death and I still died. Perhaps she found perfection once, but she's not satisfied. When I was made aware again, I realized how desperate, but patient she was. You know how many years it took? 625 years in total. She had been renewing and restarting this same existence just for me. But I've seen her kind of world. It's the kind that she doesn't leave clean. That's what I want to avoid. I have got to tell her… to stop."

Janeth was impressed. Madoka actually laid out a simple-thought plan, but snorted. "Hmph. You think she'll listen to anyone, even to you? She's a loose cannon right now."

"Damn right you are." Homura's terribly cold voice was accompanied by her figure suddenly landing on her feet strongly on the ground in the same alley while a shockwave was made. Janeth braced herself that she didn't stumble back, and Madoka did the same as they both stabled themselves. Homura looks at both of them, then at Janeth with a glare while the magical girl gets in front of Madoka, protecting her. Homura was still wearing her dark dress, while her black wings folded as she weakly smiled, but lets her anger remain. "You ungrateful bitch," Homura starts. "I gave you a chance to run. I fought you… and your conscience still doesn't change. You need to learn your place."

"Homura-chan, STOP!" Madoka shouted and was behind Janeth. Homura's attention was turned to Madoka. "You washed my memory away and kept trying! You've got your own chance to see differently! I get it! But leaving this world to renew itself completely just for me doesn't make it a good thing. You might be a goddess, but now there are two of us."

"What are you saying? You want to force me to submit? I once faced unfair treatment. Now… I make things fair since this existence is mine. You don't have any right to force me to change."

"I do, because I'm your friend." Madoka then walks past Janeth. Before Janeth would speak, she was given a glare from Madoka. Before Janeth knew it, she was in a glass case. "I'm sorry, Janeth. But this isn't your fight anymore."

"NO! DON'T DO THIS!" Janeth slams her fists on the hard glass. She even tried her Strike-Rapier to slash the glass apart, but it was protecting by a high-rank of magic. "Holy Incantation?" She muttered this while she helplessly watched the two goddesses talk. 'Damn it, Madoka.'

Madoka then looked at Homura. "You said 'no' in front of Janeth. Of course… I know you would not change. But this has to end."

"Hehe…" Homura lets her dark glow emanate from her. "Is this the part where you start to force me your way?"

"It's not my style at all, Homura-chan. But…" Madoka opens up one of her hands before a majestic bow materializes and appears on her hand and grips it by its center grip. "This love of yours is something vile. No matter how many times I try to think of it as something beneficial… it's always been negative. And it affects a lot of people."

"You're weak." Homura smirks and walks slowly towards Madoka. "You always had it to help others. But I only have you to help myself with."

"Well you can't claim me." Madoka suddenly raised her bow before putting her other hand near it and summons a light-magic arrow, pulls it back strongly with the bowstring and releases the arrow. Time slowed as Madoka was aware of where she aimed the arrow in the first place, and time flew normally, letting the arrow pass by Homura's neck only by an inch before it hits the end of the alley wall, blasting through two buildings and making them collapse on its own weight from where those were shot. "I mean it," Madoka says while lowering her bow. "I decided to change a bit from my part. If I have to help you, I'll have to force things."

"Good." Homura smiles before she materializes her own bow and arrow in her hand. "But who said I didn't care?" Homura suddenly summons an arrow with her free hand and raises her bow, then pulls her arrow on her bowstring before releasing it. The arrow was as black as darkness as it traveled at an insanely high speed before it brushed past Madoka. But the force had wind and a strong force that pushed Madoka away. The glass case Janeth was in was also pushed away by the strong force. Buildings just near them swung the direction the arrow went to, making some collapse. Homura smirks and starts walking. "You should fear me."

Madoka was struggling to get up while on her knees. She was at the other side of the street, aware she was once at the other side. She then noticed the buildings that collapsed on their weight, and Janeth now free from the glass case but still was dizzy from what happened. "Janeth, are you okay?"

Janeth didn't answer the question as she looked at Homura now approaching them. "Not in a million years, Madoka. Because nobody always is."

Homura chuckled at Janeth's statement. "If that's your thinking, I wonder how you live. I know you're wise… so stay away from us. Madoka dared me. So I'll just have to answer the same way." Homura then raises her hands before multiple shadows from just across the block had been summoned. The figures appear to be uniformed and armored men carrying automatic firearms, rifles and SMG's. "They'll keep you company."

As Janeth was about to try aiming at Homura, an AT-4 rocket was coming at her. She immediately zips to the side before she misses the rocket and it explodes on impact just at a distance behind her. Eventually, the other shadows for Homura had fired their weapons, and Janeth started defending herself. 'I'm not about to be left here. When I have a chance… I'll get you!' She deflects some bullets with her Strike-Rapier before morphing it into her Cannon-Rifle, shooting out shells of explosives at her enemies while she jumps distant from them. Still… it doesn't change the fact they keep appearing at places near where Janeth was. 'It's unending! And I can't use rifts here. Homura's jinxing my exit. I can't risk it.' She continues to counter-attack but easily goes on defense once she's overwhelm, leaving her almost no room to escape.

Madoka lets her free hand ball up, being upset Homura did this. "She was trying to help you."

"Stop helping me," Homura says while she summons another arrow and pulls it along her bowstring, then aims her bow at Madoka. "Just come quietly, and it will be over."

"No." Madoka then lets her bow for arrows glow before she zipped and charged forward, later swinging a newly transformed sword at Homura. Homura blocks the attack with her bow. Surprisingly, Homura seems unfazed but Madoka remains calm. "You've got to stop this."

"Then stop me." Homura says this while she morphs her bow into her sword on the spot before pushing Madoka back, before charging at her and started her own combination. Madoka tried her best to block and evade. "Just stay still, Madoka!"

"You're my aim, Homura." Madoka says this, not affected by fatigue like Homura was. Every block she makes, the world beneath her shakes. 'If we keep doing this, the existence might break itself. But this is the only way, isn't it?' Madoka remains focused as she started to block, then counter-attacked Homura with her share of combos that the other had blocked.

Homura then flies up, and Madoka follows up. They traded slashes and blows with her swords. Madoka then noticed the clouds were getting darker by the second and the atmosphere was changing. Their battle was affecting the planet.

Inside… Madoka was crying. This was actually happening. 'I can't believe it… I'm actually fighting Homura like this. I… I never wanted to do this. But… I want everyone to be happy. I just didn't see that she would be the cause of our sadness. She's my friend but…

'…she needs to see better!' Eventually, Madoka clears her sadness from inside her and focused. Her sword glows brighter before she charged at Homura with no hesitation…

This was a battle she needed to go through…
