Author's Note: And here it is! The sixth chapter of this fic!
Alright, maybe when you read my last author's note in the previous chapter, some of you wondered about what will I write here, and the main question from you must be this: Will I make Mami's killed by Charlotte like what happened in the anime?
Well, just see and read this chapter if you really want to know the answer of that question.
One important note: since the first chapter until this chapter, Homura's appearance is just like her appearance in the earlier timeline in the anime (she wore a glasses and braided her hair).

Chapter 6 – Blonde Saviour
Momoko's POV
"Jou-sama, can you explain to us about all of those Magi Monster's things that we still don't know?" I asked, "Why didn't Gertrud's body vanish while we meet Mami-san? And how can Suleika attack us at the door to Majokai?"
After Suleika's attack a few minutes ago, Madoka and her friends went home to their house, while we went to Majokai just like in our first plan. We really wanted to know about everything that we didn't know yet.
"I can explain all of it to you," replied Jou-sama, "But before that, let me ask something to you, Momoko-chan."
"Eh?" I didn't understand, "Nani, Jou-sama?"
"When all of you found Gertrud's real body, did you touch the body and say something before Mami-san came to you all?"
I shook of my head, "I didn't. It was Doremi-chan who checked Gertrud's pulse and… told us that she was died."
"Then, when you all escaped from Mami-san, did you touch Gertrud's real body and say something?"
For this question, I nodded, "Her body disappeared right after I hold her right hand, and…"
I tried to remember what happened at the beach right before Gertrud's real body disappeared yesterday…
Flashback
All of us took a deep breath when we arrived at the beach, right after we escaped from the Puella Magi who tried to attack us with her gun.
"It's not fair…" Doremi tried to catch her breath, "That Puella Magi wants to attack us with more than one gun!"
"And I can't accept this!" added Aiko, "How can she think that we've already kill Gertrud?"
I turned to Gertrud's lifeless body, which was laid on the beach's sand, while Onpu said, "Then, what should we do with her body? We don't even know about her house."
I stroked Gertrud's hair and said, softly, "If only we knew about her family's place…"
And right after that, her body disappeared…
End of Flashback
I then remembered and said, "Jou-sama, do you mean that Gertrud's body disappeared because of what I said while I stroked her hair?"
She nodded, "You must be said anything about her own place, right?"
"Well, actually, I just wondered about her family's place…" I said, "Jou-sama, does it mean that we should do that right after we purify the Magi Monster's soul?"
"That's right, Momoko-chan," she said, "Actually, the purifier of the soul should touch the body and said, "Back to your right place" right after she purified the soul, but unfortunately, I and Hana-chan forgot to explain to you all about this before."
"Well, at least now we know about it," said Doremi, simply.
"Then, how about Suleika?" asked Hazuki, "How could Suleika attack us tonight? And why couldn't we find any Grief Seeds after I defeated that Magi Monster?"
"I think there's someone who stole that Grief Seed right after you defeated Suleika, Hazuki-chan," answered Jou-sama, "And probably, it was…"
"Kyuubey?" cut Onpu, "Jou-sama, am I right?"
"Yes, Onpu-chan. I think Kyuubey intentionally stole Suleika's Grief Seed to oppose you all with his Puella Magi. Since he stole the Grief Seed, Hazuki-chan couldn't purify Suleika's soul, and because of that, all of you couldn't tell the Puella Magi about the truth."
"Unfortunately, it happened now," Doremi sighed. She looked so sad, "Madoka-chan-tachi should be avoiding us since tomorrow…"
"We just can hope that the ancient tragedy won't be repeated just because of this," replied Jou-sama, tried to calm Doremi down, "Don't let Angelina makes the same mistake with what she did thousand years ago."
"Angelina?" I asked, didn't understand with what she said, "Jou-sama, what do you mean with that?"
Then I turned to Doremi, "Doremi-chan, do you know about what Jou-sama said?"
"Well… I know it," replied Doremi. She looked at Jou-sama before continued her words, "Actually…"
Madoka's POV
"Madoka-chan, why don't you let me finish them all at once?" asked Mami right after we arrived at our apartment, "It's so clear that they are the witch apprentices, and those familiars that we fought with are their minions. Don't you see that?"
"I know it, but I can't believe that they can do something serious like… killing someone?" I said, "Minna, I think we should hear their explanation before we conclude that they…"
"Madoka-chan, it's obvious that they wanted to attack us tonight, and you still don't believe it?" cut Sayaka, "I'm sorry, Madoka-chan, but I agree with what Mami-san said. I trust Mami-san that she told us the truth about them. They're our enemies."
"But…"
"Uh, fine. I think we don't need to talk about it anymore," this time, Kyoko cut what I said, "We need to sleep now."
Then, Mami, Sayaka and Kyoko walked into their own room. Just me and Homura left in the living room.
"Homura-chan, how about you? Don't you say that you agree with the others…"
"No, not yet," Homura quickly answered, "Everything that we see today are the strong proof that the familiars were their minions, but… I think they're too kind to be the witch apprentices."
"Or… probably, Kyuubey is wrong to said that they were our enemies," I said, "I still can't believe that some kind people like them are… some people who are willing to kill anyone, especially… Doremi-chan. I'm doubt that she can be like that."
"Actually, I think so, Madoka-chan," replied Homura, "Even so, I think we should get a proof which will shown to the others that they aren't as bad as what the others think."
"I hope we can find that proof someday," I sighed, "They're really a good friends. They're so nice to us. How can some witches influence them and make them the witch apprentices."
"Hmm…" Homura thought for a few minutes, then said, "I think we should ask them about everything that they know about the witches and their minions, including with what they were doing in that barrier tonight."
"You're right, Homura-chan," I said, "We should ask them the truth."
"Then, Madoka-chan, can I ask you something?" said Homura while she walked into our room with me.
"Sure. You can ask me everything, as you're my best friend?" I replied, "What is it?"
"How can you become so near with Doremi-chan?" she asked, "I mean, it looks like… you and her are knowing each other, just like you and Doremi-chan had ever met before we moved here."
"I… don't know," I answered, unsure with what I said, "Everytime I see her, I feel so near with her, just like what I feel when I see Tatsuya."
"Your younger brother?" asked Homura. I nodded.
I sighed again, "Well, maybe it also because I don't have any sisters, so when I meet her, I feel like I have a chance to have a sister."
"Sou…"
We kept silence for a minute.
"Alright then, maybe it's better if we change our clothes and sleep now," Homura finally suggested, "We must go to school tomorrow."
"I see."
Then, we changed our own clothes and slept.
Doremi's POV
'Well, now what? How can we tell them the truth if the situation become like this?' I thought, 'They trust Kyuubey that we're in the bad side, and they still don't know if actually, Kyuubey is the bad ones, and Madoka-chan… she probably will do the same mistake that Angelina did thousand years ago…'
I sighed, 'Well, I don't care about the fact that I'm the reincarnation of Angelica. I just can't think about… what would Madoka-chan do if later she… she killed me like Angelina killed Angelica in that time?'
Now, I was in my room. It was several minutes after we had a conversation with Jou-sama about the Magi Monsters, and also, about the witch's princesses thousand years ago, right before the time Majotourbillon became the Queen there, Angelina and Angelica.
Well, actually, nobody knew about the reincarnation of Angelina, but I just feel that probably Madoka was the reincarnation of Angelina, because until now, I still felt so near with her.
'However, I can't let it happen again this time, because it's Angelina's promise that she want to protect her younger twin sister. I can't let her break her own promise,' I still thought about it while I laid on my bed, ready to sleep, 'I must tell Madoka-chan-tachi about the truth. Don't let them trust Kyuubey so far.'
I thought about it for a long time, until I fell asleep.
In the morning, when I, Aiko, Onpu and Momoko arrived at school, in our class, Sayaka and Kyoko tried to persuade our other classmates to rearrange their seat. They didn't want to sit beside Momoko and Aiko.
Madoka said, "Sayaka-chan, Kyoko-chan, I think we shouldn't think so far like this…"
"Well, I just don't want to sit there. Is it wrong, Madoka-chan?" replied Kyoko, tried to don't mention me and my best friends, "I want to sit around Sayaka-chan."
"Then, how if we change our seat since today, Kyoko-chan?" Homura suggested, "I'll sit on your seat, then you'll sit here. My seat is behind Sayaka-chan's."
"Uh, well…" Kyoko kept silence for a few minutes, probably because she just wanted if Madoka and Homura also didn't have seat near us. They wanted to avoid us.
"Jaa, Kyoko-chan, what's your decision?" asked Homura, "Do you want to sit here?"
"Oh, alright," finally, Kyoko answered, "Just… be careful and make sure that you and Madoka-chan are okay here."
"How can you say it, Kyoko-chan? We should be okay there," replied Homura while she started to walk to Kyoko's seat and brought her school bag. Kyoko also did the same and walked to Homura's previous seat.
'Then, since today, they tried to withdraw themselves from us…' I thought, then sighed, 'Now, how can I and the others tell them about the truth…'
"You can tell me and Madoka-chan about it," suddenly, a familiar voice interrupted what I thought… in my mind!
"Eh? Homura-chan?" I turned my head to her, amazed that I could communicate with her by telepathy, "How can you… How can we…"
"As I know that you're a magic user like us, I try to make a contact with you, and it works," she explained, "Plus, I can hear what you said in your mind."
"Well, I see that you hear it," I giggled, "Then, how can I and the others tell you and Madoka-chan the truth? I mean, the truth in our version. It's better if we tell you both in an usual conversation than by telepathy."
"How if we talk about it now, at the rooftop?" Homura suggested, "We still have enough time to talk about it there, before the bell ring."
"Alright, we go there now," I replied, "I and my friends will walk out from the class first, then you and Madoka-chan should walk out from here some minutes later, okay?"
"Deal. I'll tell Madoka-chan about this."
Then, I didn't waste my time to walk out from the class after I told Aiko, Onpu and Momoko to follow me to the rooftop.
Homura's POV
Five minutes after Doremi and her friends walked out from the class, I asked Madoka to accompany me to the toilet, just to make sure that Sayaka and Kyoko didn't suspect that we followed Doremi and her friends to the rooftop.
I didn't tell Madoka that we would go to the rooftop until we had already walked out from the class. Honestly, we also wanted to know the truth in their version, because we knew that to solve a problem, we should hear every perception that available around the problem.
Then, at the rooftop, Doremi explained everything that she knew, and all of her explanation made me and Madoka were a bit shocked.
"So, actually… Kyuubey…"
I sighed, cut what Madoka said, "It's possible. We just know Kyuubey as an incubator who contracted us to become the Puella Magi, and no more than it. Different with us, Doremi-chan-tachi used to know about their witch world since some years ago. It's a big possibility that Kyuubey had already tricked us."
"Well, I think you're right, Homura-chan," Madoka finally said, "Then, what can we do to reveal the truth to the others?"
"I just can hope that… in the next Magi Monster's attack, we can fight with it together, as a team," Doremi said, "It's the only one way for us to prove that we aren't as bad as what Kyuubey said to you all."
"Then, Madoka-chan, Homura-chan, do you both believe with us?" asked Onpu, "We never think to destroy Ningenkai like what Kyuubey said to you all."
"We believe with you all," I replied, "Ne, Madoka-chan?"
"Homura-chan…" said Madoka, still a bit confused, but when she saw Doremi's smiling face, she added, "Well, yeah. We believe it."
And when the school's bell rang, we walked back into our class.
Onpu's POV
Today, Nakayama Shiori, one of our classmates was sick and was in the hospital, so I and the others decided to visit her there. We also told Hazuki about it and asked her if she could come to the hospital, as Shiori was our friend since in the elementary school, and she agreed to come there.
We visited Shiori for a few hours, then we decided to go home, but when we walked out from the hospital, something happened…
We found another barrier.
"This barrier is much bigger than the previous barriers," said Aiko, "Now I wonder, does it mean that the Magi Monster that will we face here is stronger than Gertrud and Suleika?"
"Well, maybe you're right, Ai-chan," I said, "I think, it's better if we walk across this way to know about the Magi Monster."
The way, which I meant in my statement before, was really a long way, which had so many doors that we should enter.
And when we walked there, something caught my attention. I saw some picture of a girl's head. A girl with two ponytail. Also, there were some strange letters below the picture, which just like the letters that I read in Gertrud's barrier.
I tried to spell the letters, "C-H-A-R-L-O-T-T-E…"
"Charlotte?" asked Momoko. I nodded.
"Well, now we know about the Magi Monster's name, but until now, we still don't meet it yet," said Doremi, "How long should we walk here?"
"Doremi-chan, we just need to keep walking," said Hazuki, "Just be patient."
"Uh, alright," Doremi sighed, "If only I could eat all of the sweets here…"
"Doremi-chan!" we protested.
"Ah, okay, minna," she said, "Let's we keep walking."
Then, we just kept walking and didn't talk about anything anymore, until we found the center of the barrier.
Mami's POV
"Ah, how annoying," said Kyoko while we walked in a witch's barrier which appeared near the hospital, "Even, when we have fun here, this witch still come to disturb us."
"Well, that's the risk of becoming the Puella Magi," I replied, "Even so, I'm still so happy that we still can do some makeover to Homura-chan."
Yeah, before we found this barrier, we had an opportunity to accompany Homura to buy some contact lenses and to change her hairstyle. Now, she didn't wear glasses anymore, and she let her hair down with a black head scarf around her hair.
Homura just sighed and said, "Up to you, Mami-san."
I smiled, then turned my attention to Madoka. She looked so confuse.
"Doushita no, Madoka-chan?" I asked, "What are you thinking about?"
She just shook of her head and said, "Uh, no, Mami-san. I'm not thinking about anything. I'm just…"
"Just?"
"Ah, nothing, really," Madoka smiled, "I'm just wondering about the witch."
"However, if this witch have a relation with Doremi-chan-tachi, I'll cut them all to be some small pieces," said Sayaka, "I really don't like with them now."
"Yep. Me too," Kyoko added, "I can't believe that they can be so bad."
"Trust me. They're the witch apprentices after all, and we know that everything that related with the witches are the bad things," I said, "I really saw them killed a girl."
"I'm sorry, Mami-san. I don't mean to think that you lie, but did you really see them killed the girl?" asked Homura.
"Well, actually, I just saw them stood up around that girl, and one of them shot some particle to the girl," I answered, "Then?"
Homura just replied, "I think you concluded it too fast, Mami-san."
"Huh?"
"Well, yeah. How if actually, they were there just to help that girl? And for the particles that you're talking about, maybe it wasn't a dangerous particle, after all."
"Do you want to provide them?"
"Actually no, and I just want to be neutral this time," she said, "Refers to their usual personality…"
"You want to say that you still don't believe about what I said, do you?" I cut what she said, "Don't you remember about what Kyuubey said before we move here?"
"I remember, but it doesn't mean that we should see them in the negative way, right?"
"Oh, I see. You really want to provide them, Homura-chan."
"I say no, Mami-san. I'm neutral. I just see everything in the positive way. Don't you ever know about the positive thinking?"
"I think, it's enough," I said, "We heard that Kyuubey said…"
"Mami-san, we still don't know well about Kyuubey."
"I know well about him. He saved me in a car accident."
"Is that so? You just think that you know well about him just because he saved you in a car accident several years ago? I'm so sorry Mami-san, I just can say that you're so naive."
"Homura-chan!"
"Stop it!" this time, Madoka yelled, "Don't say about them anymore!"
"Madoka-chan…"
"Mami-san, I think Homura-chan isn't wrong, saying that we should see everything in the positive way. They're not the bad girls, after all."
"But…"
"I'm sure that we'll see the truth later, and for now, we just need to focus on this witch," said Madoka, "Just keep walking and don't say anything."
Sayaka and Kyoko sighed, while I just could say, "Fine. We'll continue it later."
After walked for a long time, we found the center of the barrier. As I expected, there were also five girls that I and Homura were debated minutes ago.
I still felt so angry after Homura said that I was so naive, so when I saw that they also were here, I brought out all of my gun and started to attack the witch's minions, Pyotr.
And when a witch named Charlotte shown itself, I didn't waste my time to attack the witch.
But when I shot the witch for the last time, the witch's form changed, and then… opened its mouth, got ready to bite my head!
And for now, I just could see it in horror. It was just a few seconds before she bite me and kill me.
Homura's POV
Fortunately, I could stop the time right before Charlotte could bite Mami's head and cut it off from her body, but I thought that it wasn't enough to save her from Charlotte. Someone should push Charlotte away from Mami.
I saw that Doremi and her friends weren't influenced with the stopping time, and I remembered that they could fly with the magic brooms, so I said to them, "Hey! We need your help to save Mami-san!"
"Eh? Homura-chan, where's your glasses?" asked Doremi.
"I don't have time to explain it. I just need help from you all," I replied.
"What can we do to help you?" asked Momoko.
"I need help from two of you. This morning, you said that all of you could fly with the magic brooms, right?"
Onpu nodded, "So?"
"One of you should push Charlotte away from Mami-san, while the others help me to defeat Charlotte," I explained, "Can you?"
"Of course, we can," said Onpu. She turned her head to Momoko, "Momo-chan, ikuyo!"
The blonde haired girl nodded, then they transformed.
Momoko's transformation sequence: She clapped her hands twice and then hold her left hand with her right hand. She then stretched both of her hands and then a pair of long gloves appeared. She then moved her hands from her feet to her head, made her boots and her costume appeared, along with her hat. Her crystal changed to be a necklace.
Onpu's transformation sequence: She clapped her hands twice and then hold her left hand with her right hand. She then stuck out her hands in front of her and then a pair of long gloves appeared. She then swinged her hands around from the tip of her toes to her upper body and then crossed her arms, then moved her hands from there to her head, made her boots and her costume appeared, along with her hat. Her crystal changed to be a necklace.
"Puritti Witchi Momokochii!"
"Puritti Witchi Onpuchii!"
After they transformed, they summoned their own magic brooms and then flew up with it. Momoko flew up to Charlotte, while Onpu flew up to me and helped me rode her magic broom with her.
When I operated the time again, Momoko pushed Charlotte away from Mami and crashed Charlotte to the nearest wall there. Momoko then quickly flew away from Charlotte and picked Mami out from her standing place, let me and Onpu attacked Charlotte together. I thrown a grenade at Charlotte's mouth, while Onpu thrown her own Glassy Bomb at the same place.
Then, we did it. We defeated Charlotte and found its Grief Seed. Surprisingly for me, we also found a girl with her pink hair which tied in two ponytail, similar with Charlotte's first appearance.
When I took Charlotte's Grief Seed, got ready to purify my Soul Gem, Onpu suddenly said, "Let me took the Grief Seed and your Soul Gem to purify both of them."
Onpu's POV
"You… can purify both of them?" asked Homura. She was so confuse to hear what I said.
I nodded, "Can I borrow your Soul Gem?"
"Well… sure," she finally said while she let me to take Charlotte's Grief Seed and her Soul Gem, "How can you do that?"
"Just see it," I said, then I hold the Grief Seed and Homura's Soul Gem with my right hand, while I hold my crystal with my left hand behind it. I closed my eyes and started to purify the two items in my right hand, "For the power of my crystal, purify all the darkness from this Grief Seed and this Soul Gem. Purify the soul of the Grief Seed's owner, and erase all of her despair. Bring her into the best life for her…"
I opened my eyes when I felt that the Grief Seed vanished from my right hand, then I returned Homura's Soul Gem back to her before I walked to Charlotte's original form.
Before anybody could say something, I stroked Charlotte's hair and said, "Charlotte-chan, you should go back to your right place now and rest there in peace. We know that you're a sweet and kind girl, so please, let the peace in this place stay here."
Then, the body vanished.
Minutes later, after we all escaped from the barrier, I and the other ojamajos decided to explained the truth to Mami, Sayaka and Kyoko, as we had already told Madoka and Homura about it this morning.
And since today, we revealed the truth.
Author's Note: Yeah, finally I can make a long chapter in this fic…
Next time, all of the Puella Magi should face the truth about Kyuubey and all of things which they don't know at first, including with the fact about Soul Gem. Are they ready to face it all? We can find it in the next chapter.
