A lone girl stared blankly at the destruction the hurricane had caused, and looked up to see the black orb witch, unfazed by any of their attacks. It was now moving away, as if to mock them for their futility.

Avery had a look of hopelessness on her face as she glanced left and right. The other magical girls...none were in sight. As far as she knew, they were all dead, along with a lot of people in Lotus City. She had honestly thought they would win, even without her. It wasn’t fair. It’s true that she and they never really got along, always competing for Grief Seeds without ever searching for a compromise, but… She pounded at the ground. She should’ve joined them, she could’ve saved-

“With your ability of making things invisible, you could’ve saved them.” A white feline creature said, appearing close by, approaching her. Kyubey had a catlike smile on his face, never-changing, ever. “Had you aided them by making them all invisible, you may have stood a chance against it. Why didn’t you help them? I just can’t understand you humans and your strange choices.”

Why, why did he appear just to confirm that for her…?!

Instead of answering, Avery spat at him, before glancing at her Soul Gem.

It was pitch-black.

A serene smile formed on her face as it cracked, a calmness falling over her. Nothing mattered anymore. This world was loud and noisy, but as long as she stayed this way, everything was going to be alright.

A girl spiraled into the air, riding her broomstick. Before her was a powerful monster, in the shape of a floating white dress, with decorations in the form of clear diamonds and white pearls all around it, trailing down its magnificent skirt and throughout its body as a whole. The dress was most likely the main body of the witch. The surrounding area was strange, bizarre even. It was like looking at the night sky, but it was in fact just a black dome covered in decorations of its own, mobile. The ‘stars’ moved about, twinkling everywhere. Triple moons, each projecting its own beam of moonlight, spun around the dome frantically as if they would crash down if they ever stopped. It would’ve been a beautiful sight had they not actually been familiars.

Stars detached from the dome and flew after the girl, exploding whenever they got close, but she always managed to escape. Numerous stars also flew for two other girls standing near the entrance, but she quickly stopped them by firing balls of ice at them, crushing through them before they managed to explode near the two ordinary girls, one British and one Japanese.

The magical girl’s opponent weren’t the stars, but the dress, the Witch of Calmness. For two months, it had managed to elude and evade all magical girls, but that was its unique ability; to be invisible from the detection of Soul Gems. It was coincidental that she had found it here, but no matter. Luckily, it was a weak witch. As she flew towards it, the dress began to distort into a more monstrous form-

[b][i]“Fotia Moira!”[/i][/b] she called out, jumping off of her broomstick, and thrust both of her arms forward.

Then, a large wave of fire shot from them, and incinerated through the white dress. The witch gone, the labyrinth around them collapsed to reveal reality, a stranded corner in the middle of Lotus City. Despite the fact that Christmas was close and the temperature indeed had dropped, there was still no snow yet.

“And THAT’s how you defeat a witch!” Kuroyuki Epsilon declared with a stupid grin on her face, picking up a strange item – a Grief Seed – left over from the witch’s defeat.

She held it to a dark jewel by her neck, her Soul Gem, and black energy was absorbed into the Grief Seed. Almost immediately, her Soul Gem brightened up considerably to a light gray. Fighting solo was hard for her, and had the witch been capable of withstanding that one attack, chances are that she would’ve lost.

No other magical girls were available at the moment. It was early morning after all, normally time for school, and the magical girls which she didn’t know about were probably sleeping. Others…ones whose phone numbers she had were gone. All gone. It was stupid, and now she was only three days away…!

Memories of the witch fleeted into her mind, as that was her ability; ‘to learn from the mistakes of other witches’. The battle against Hurricane Hallow…now she knew its abilities.

Nearby sat Kyubey.

“So how about it?” she asked them, spinning her broomstick in her arms before reverting back to her casual form. The witch outfit disappeared, being replaced by a kimono with a black jacket over it. “This city is constantly threatened by monsters like those…but if you become a magical girl, you can protect innocents! You were lucky I was around, ya’know!”

Still wearing her wide grin, she couldn’t help but be a little uncertain. It was true, they [i]had [/i]been lucky. Although it was the perfect opportunity to display how a magical girl does her job and recruit them, had she not been around, they would’ve ended up committing a double suicide.

“Wow, that was awesome, Kuro!” one of the girls exclaimed.

“But um…it looks kind of dangerous…” the other murmured, fidgety after having entered that witch barrier, nervous.

The previous day, she had appeared to them as well as a couple of others also with magical potential, introducing the concept of magical girls and witches, and how Kyubey is capable of making wishes. Obviously, they were baffled, but were convinced after she transformed and showed off some of her powers. But they didn’t make the contract on the spot, since one [i]distracting[/i] girl convinced them all to think about it, and she had to leave.

“Relax! Haven’t you watched anime? Magical girls have nothing to fear~” Kuro went on.

Then the former girl ran over to Kyubey, already pumped up and ready to make a contract.

“Hey, Kyubey! You can grant wishes, right? So I want-”

“Don’t!” The other girl grabbed her arm. “I- I’m sorry, Epsilon-san and Kyubey, but can you give us a little time to think about it first…? Thanks…”

“It’s okay, take all the time you need!” Kyubey replied.

The British girl wanted to protest and gain awesome powers, but her friend managed to drag her away, heading elsewhere. The same girl as yesterday was still interrupting her. Ugh. She may have to be pushed out of the way for the moment since she was only a hindrance, standing in the way of potential magical girls…

Kuro’s smile dropped once they were out of sight.

Without a word, she turned around and walked deeper into the city, the sun rising in the sky. As Christmas was approaching, the holidays had started. No school, which was convenient. In the past few months, it had been a distracting part of her mission. It would’ve been advantageous to her had she been able to transfer into it…but she was an outsider, a nobody, with no identity. No birth certificate. No passport. No parents. A stolen phone. A hijacked apartment.

Someone like that simply couldn’t go to a ‘school’.

But with the holidays having started, she was now free to search for potential magical girls without any trouble. Also, if she was lucky, she would have to try and get people who are already magical girls onto her side. Kuro signaled for Kyubey to lead the way, and he proceeded further into the recently-repaired Lotus City.

Despite the devastation, it had recovered rather remarkably. It was only unfortunate that it would be devastated once more, on the very same day as Christmas…

[i]((Sorry for the long opening post. Anyway, Kyubey can be in multiple locations at once and can be controlled by anyone. Just stay as in-character with him as possible. Oh, and feel free to have your characters do just about anything.))[/i]

Not too far from where Kuroyuki was showing off to her potential was a young woman clad in grey and bundled up to withstand the cold December air. She opened her eyes, having recalled her sight from where the witch-themed Magical Girl had been preaching about how awesome being a Magical Girl was. But, like the vile monster next to her, she no longer had a heart. She knew what she was really doing there. And the whelp next to her, the one that had stared at the magical scrying the whole time, knowing it was there, was along for the ride to actually do the deed.
Yet the evidence was clear. Something had ravaged the city during the night of Halloweeen, and based on the large number of Witches, it had claimed many comrades-at-arms. And if Kuro was correct, in three days' time, it would strike once more. A team of Magical Girls needed to be formed, and quickly. The population of Magical Girls was always the highest around one of Kyubey's kind, so, disregarding his...nature...he would have to help manufacture enough fighters for the continued defense of the city.
Tsume bit her lip as she mulled over the decision, closing her eyes to check on Hana. She and her boys had recently purchased a tree, and were decorating it while avoiding the cold weather outside. Her husband had managed to sneak out to do some last-minute Christmas shopping, and, when Tsume checked on him, he was picking up something special for Hana. Tsume returned to the matter at hand as she opened her eyes once more, and started walking, reluctant to admit that Magical Girls would be needed, but if they knew of the proper dangers involved, it could weed out the weaklings...or just ruin their chances of defeating this "Hurricane Hallow" entirely. The question still remained though:
Which was the greater evil: Kyubey, which could never touch her Hana again, but would keep making contracts, or Hurricane Hallow, a Witch powerful enough to wreck an entire metropolis, and a huge threat to Hana and her family?
Tsume checked her Soul Gem, seeing swirls of darkness writhe among the faint violet glow. She would need to go hunting soon. The intervals were getting shorter and shorter for her to cleanse her Soul Gem of its corruption. This added stress was getting to her. But a good Witch hunting should clear her mind enough to finally decide. She walked a bit more briskly as she checked around for any Barriers.

[color=#EE82EE]"Huh? W-... where am I? What [i]is[/i] [/color][color=#EE82EE]this place?"[/color]

[color=#000000]Elison Hikari, a Magical Girl who had been impregnated at an early age, lay barren in a strange dimension, laden with only a random assortment of tiles and a still cobalt blue ocean. It took her a while to get her bearings, but once she did, she immediately set off to see if she couldn't find an exit to this place. But before she could take more than three steps, several strange creatures that appeared as stick figure horses galloped towards her, only to stop a yard or two short. Behind [i]them[/i], a gargantuan witch descended down onto some nearby tiles, land on them with a crocodile shaped head on the end of her tail. 7 other heads stared directly [i]at[/i] Elison, most of which where accompanied with looks of pure venom, but the main of which seemed to have genuine concern in her eyes. Perhaps that was just the way they were shaped. Regardless, the stick figure creatures dispersed, only to return with runed tiles, and organize themselves so then they read the following:[/color]

[color=#000000]It took Elison a while to read the runes as they appeared in the message, according to the way that Kyubey had taught her to read them earlier. But once she figured it out, Elison gasped in shock, as her brain was flooded with memories of her big sister, and all the good times she had with her[/color]

[color=#EE82EE]"Gah... Galina?! Is that [i]you[/i]?!"[/color][color=#000000] the second she asked this, the stick-figured creatures dispersed again, only to gather more of their kind, and return with a completely [i]different[/i] set of runed tiles. Once again, they had reorganized themselves, and situated themselves between Elison and the witch.[/color]

[color=#000000]Elison couldn't believe what she was reading. According this [i]new[/i] message, Galina Hikari was no more, and this 8-headed monstrosity was all that was left of the Magical Girl that was once proud to be Elison's big, older sister. Elison was left a nervous, sorrowful wreck, but this didn't stop the familiars from performing their duties. They returned with more runed tiles, and lined up again like drones. No change in emotion from [i]any[/i] of them.[/color]

[color=#000000]Everything around her was beginning to fade, but Elison managed to catch a glimpse of [i]one[/i] last message displayed by Lerna's familiars.[/color]

[color=#EE82EE]"Oh [i]god[/i]..."[/color][color=#000000] [/color][color=#000000]Elison [/color][color=#000000]muttered hoarsely, [/color][color=#EE82EE]"I gotta stop having these nightmares,"[/color]

[color=#000000]She slowly got up out of bed and started to take off her pyjamas, but before she could replace them with proper clothing...[/color]

[color=#008080]"That was [i]more[/i] than just a nightmare. [i]You[/i] know that just as well as [i]I[/i] do," [/color][color=#000000]Elison turned around, only to see a familiar feline creature sitting at her window sill again. Elison [i]screamed[/i] at the site of Kyubey... but not because he was frightening in any way, shape or [i]form[/i][/color][color=#000000].[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"DO YOU [i]MIND[/i]??!!"[/color] [color=#000000]she yelled at Kyubey in a panicked matter, thrusting herself against the wall to stop her pyjamas from falling and exposing her further.[/color]

[color=#008080]"And what if I don't?"[/color][color=#000000] asked Kyubey, who was only meet with a "Really?" type of look in response, [/color][color=#008080]"Fine, if it bothers you [i]that[/i] much, then just pretend I'm blind."[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"Better idea, SKAT!!"[/color][color=#000000] Elison started chucking some of her laundry at Kyubey, continuing to shout nonsensical words that Mrs. Hikari would use to shoo cats away. Unfortunately for Elison, Kyubey never so much as flinched, not even when her delicates were being tossed his way.[/color]

[color=#008080]"You're acting like a child..."[/color][color=#000000] he said instead.[/color]

In another part of Lotus City another magical girl was just waking from a peaceful sleep only to what she liked to call the face of the devil. [color=#b22222]"What could possibly want this early in the morning? Don't you things ever sleep?" [/color]The thing just cocked its head at her, she decided to drop it. She climbed out of her bed, and proceeded to go to her dresser, and pulled out a few clothes before noticing it was still in the room. [color=#B22222]"Do you mind?"[/color]

[color=#008080]"Does it matter?" [/color]The thing asked her.

Sheibra gave the thing a look[color=#b22222] "Yeah it matters. I don't need a pervert space alien staring at my goodies."[/color]

[color=#008080]"Yes, but that would only apply if I were male would it not? My gender is neither male nor female, is that not why you refer to me as it? Also I am emotionless so even if I was male I wouldn't care to see your goodies." [/color]The thing stared at her, giving her that creepy face it always had. For a second Sheibra was taken back by the fact that Kyubey had used the word goodies, and not something more... well proper, but of course Kyubey had heard her call them goodies, so of course that is what it had refered to them as.

Getting back to the conversation Sheibra turned back to Kyubey,[color=#b22222]"But your gender identity is male isn't it?"[/color]

[color=#008080]"If my presence is a hindrance to you getting changed, than why don't you just go out in those clothes?"[/color] Siebra just gave him a look, [color="#008080"]"Fine, sometimes I just don't get you humans. Such a weird species, so much emotion. That's why we picked them though right?" [/color]Ignoring Kyubey as he exited the room Sheibra pulled on a scarlet tang top, tight fitting jeans, and a pair of black stilettoes and walked out of door of her small apartment Kyubey on her shoulder. [color=#B22222] [/color]

The morning air was cool and refreshing, just the sort of thing Gale needed to wake herself up properly. It was still the morning and yet Gale was out of bed and going for a light jog around the city, enjoying the morning air. She smiled as she watched her breath fan out in front of her in a fine white mist that soon vanished into the air as she slowly made her way up a small hill. About a month or so ago this would have worn her out in minutes but now she felt like she could do it again and again for ever and ever, she felt truly free whenever she ran as if all her cares were just simply left behind her.

As she approached the top of the hill she spied a small white form sitting atop a garden fence, his long tail waving about behind him in an almost hypnotic fashion and his small pink eyes fixated on Gale.

[b]“Good morning, Kyubey,”[/b] Gale said happily as she approached the creature, leaning on her own knees to recover from the steep climb [b]“I didn’t expect to see you up here; I’d have thought you’d be looking for other candidates.”[/b]

Kyubey merely smiled at Gale, unsurprising since smiling seemed to be the only expression he was capable of, Gale hadn’t even seen his mouth move once in the time that she’d known him.

“You’re still fairly new at being a magical girl,” Kyubey replied “I think it best if I continue to guide you through it until you’ve gained more experience, it’d be pointless to assemble a lot of magical girls if none of them were any good after all.”

[b]“Well, I suppose you have a point,”[/b] Gale replied, scratching her own cheek, she’d much rather Kyubey had a bit more confidence in her rather than treating her like a newbie, she’d been at this for a month already after all. She found herself staring at the sky, searching for an excuse to change the subject. [b]“I wonder if it’ll snow today,”[/b] she said, a small smile forming on her face [b]“I’ve never been able to play in the snow before.”[/b]

Kyubey tilted his head to one side; though his expression didn’t change Gale could almost tell he was confused by her statement. “I’ve never understood that,” he said “The reason why humans enjoy a simple weather phenomenon so much, by that logic shouldn’t you enjoy playing in the rain as well?”

[b]“Don’t spoil it for me,”[/b] Gale replied [b]“It’s just something we do, okay?”[/b]

“It doesn’t really matter,” Kyubey replied “I do need to ask though, how many witches have you defeated so far?”

Gale glared at the creature for a moment; he was deliberately changing the subject back again. [b]“Um…About three, I think,”[/b] she replied.

“You’re going to have to do better than that,” Kyubey said “Most magical girls encounter a witch at least once a week, if not daily. You’re not going to get experience if you miss out like that.”

[b]“I know, I know,”[/b] Gale replied, slightly flustered [b]“I just…Erm…Other people just get there before me, okay?”[/b]

“Then you need to be more vigilante,” Kyubey replied, completely un-phased by Gale’s mood shift. He hopped off the fence and lightly landed on Gale’s shoulder, settling down much like a cat would.

Gale heaved a sigh and resumed walking along the pavement. [b]“Fine, fine, I’ll go look for a witch,”[/b] she said, taking her soul gem out from a pocket inside her jacket [b]“I just haven’t been able to pick up any.”[/b]

“It shouldn’t be too hard,” Kyubey replied “And if you’re quick about it you’ll be able to get there before anybody else takes it out before you do.”

[b]“Okay I get it, would you please drop that already?”[/b] Gale replied.

“Drop? I haven’t even picked anything up,”

Gale heaved an exasperated sigh and didn’t bother to explain the phrase and continued walking in silence.

[i]Today is the twenty-second of December,[/i] Kuro reviewed to herself, walking in silence across Lotus City. [i]In three days, on Christmas time, that thing will return. What the hell have I been doing the past two months...?[/i]

The time by now should be around seven o'clock AM. Those two girls she had rescued earlier, they had probably woken up within that witch barrier. Artemis the Witch of Calmness...no. In truth, she had been the magical girl Avery, who fell into despair mere moments after the battle against that black orb...the hurricane itself was nicknamed [i]Hurricane Hallow[/i] by the citizens, and also consequently adopted by the residential magical girls to define the witch. Well, for those that actually know that the hurricane was committed by a witch, anyway.

A day ago, she encountered the veteran magical girl Tsume Marugao, who with that ridiculous Magical Vision thing of hers uncovered the fact that she was trying to gather a team of magical girls. But in all honestly, she's just an idiot overdue for corruption, though her beliefs are respectable.

"Kyubey. Other than Tsume, are there any other magical girls in this city?" Kuro asked the white creature directly, stopping before him. This was a question she should've asked a long time ago.

[color=#008080]"Yes."[/color] Kyubey replied clearly. [color=#008080]"Right now, there are about eleven, including you."[/color]

Kuro merely nodded. She wasn't sure if these magical girls were experienced enough, or if they were strong enough. The previous month, she had concentrated on creating a team of super-magical girls, with focused wishes and amazing abilities that could each solo a witch...but that backfired. Severely. So it may be better to just focus on quantity rather than quality, gathering as many magical girls as possible and hoping none of them fall into despair in the process. Meaning, she would have to look for the others later.

As she passed by a small apartment, Kyubey suddenly disappeared, only to reappear as a girl with a tanktop walked out of the building, sitting on her shoulder. She frowned, letting her gaze linger on the teleporting Kyubey for a moment, before sighing and continuing to walk forward. She didn't know if that girl was a potential candidate or an actual magical girl, but right now she had to focus on finding a witch. After all, her Soul Gem hadn't been fully cleansed, even after using up the Grief Seed of the witch earlier until it was full...

Tsume walked around with her hood up and her hands in her pockets, attempting to find a Barrier with her Magical Vision, but instead spotted a very interesting person. Kuroyuki, the subject of her internal debate, was walking away from an apartment building. She passed by the girl with Kyubey on her shoulder, and Kyubey tracked her movement, knowing of her power and her wish, but snapped back forwards once Tsume had passed. Tsume quickly checked on Hana, making sure they were safe, and not about to leave the house, before approaching Kuroyuki.
[color=#800080]"Hey."[/color] She told the other Magical Girl as she walked alongside Kuro. [color=#800080]"How about the two of us go hunt a Witch? I've been meaning to talk to you anyways. Just the two of us. Not...that thing..."[/color] Tsume grimaced upon thinking about the backstabbing white demon she had passed. [color=#800080]"Besides, I figure both of us need to clean up our Soul Gems."[/color]

Meanwhile, a passenger airplane carrying, among other things, a class from a Texas private school descended towards Lotus City. One of the students, a pale, silver-haired girl in her school uniform with warmer clothing beneath it, looked out of her window as the sun shone into the cabin and woke her up. She blinked a few times before lowering the sunglasses that had been on top of her head, and smiled. This was the site of Hurricane Hallow's attack. And if her information was correct, the monstrous Witch would attack once more during another pagan celebration that had been converted into a more mundane holiday: Christmas.
[color=#a9a9a9][i]This is gonna be FUN.[/i][/color]

[color=#000000]While Kyubey was buried under laundry, Elison finished getting dressed in relative peace. It wasn't until she put on one of her T-shirts and dusted off the skirt she was now wearing that Kyubey spoke again... well after prying himself through the mountain of laundry that was on top of him of course.[/color]

[color=#008080]"Right, now that you're done, we need to talk,"[/color][color=#000000] Kyubey stated, [/color][color=#008080]"About your sister... Galina I think her name was,"[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"Can we not?"[/color][color=#000000] Elison asked sorrowfully, [/color][color=#ee82ee]"I already know what I need to, as far as I'm concerned,"[/color]

[color=#008080]"Well as far am [i]I'm[/i] concerned, not quite,"[/color][color=#000000] Kyubey remarked, [/color][color=#008080]"You still don't know [i]why[/i] Galina became a witch, and..."[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"But I [i]do[/i] know that [i]I'm[/i] the one to blame for it!"[/color][color=#000000] Elison yelled back, as she started to cry violently[/color]

[color=#008080]"Can you really say that?"[/color][color=#000000] asked Kyubey, not getting a response in return. He sighed, figuring this was about to turn out as well as this [i]one[/i] time he attempted to recruit a 14-year-old girl. No matter, he would try just one more time, perhaps with the help of Kuro, after he was done trying to talk to Elison.[/color]

As the Soul Gem began to react Gale's face lit up slightly and she held it up in front of her.

[b]"It found something!"[/b] She said excitedly.

Kyubey nodded his approval and Gale continued forwards at a jog, following the Soul Gem's directions with an eager face. The two of them eventually reached a long alleyway further along the street and proceeded down it at a slower pace.

"Be careful, it's nearby," Kyubey warned.

[b]"I know already, geez,"[/b] there were times when Gale felt like kicking Kyubey across the floor, but that would have to wait.

As soon as Gale took another step the floor beneath her foot seemed to ripple and shift, a paper-like texture spreading out from where her foot hit the ground and fanning out along the walls around them, as the paper texture overtook the walls and floor the details on them became crude shaky sketch lines like an unfinished piece of animation.

"Here it comes!"

Gale didn't waste a moment, she held her Soul Gem out in front of her and released its powers, the gem glowing brightly and surrounding the girl with a brilliant green light as a gust of wind blew around her. The light dissapated, revealing Gale in her magical girl form with her favourite weapon, Gust, attached to her right forearm. Once the transformation was done Gale looked up to see something flying towards her through the sketchy labyrinth, it looked like a piece of rolled up scrap paper. Gale braced herself as it approached. As the creature drew closer it stopped right in front of Gale's face, unfurled itself to reveal a badly drawn face upon it and screamed directly at Gale. Gale was taken aback but completely unharmed by this attack, her fan blade began spinning rapidly and she took a swing at the creature with it, the paper form dodging out of the way.

[b]"This thing seems... Kinda weak,"[/b] Gale notced as she watched the thing wizzing about above her.

"That's because it's a Familiar, not a witch," Kyubey explained calmly, sitting on a badly sketched dumpster.

[b]"I... What? You mean the one time I actually find a Witch and it's not a Witch!?"[/b] Gale replied.

"Well, Familiars can be just as dangerous as the Witch that spawned them," Kyubey said calmly "In fact, if left for long enough they can become a Witch themselves so it's probably better to kill them now before they can become a full Witch. Though some Magical Girls prefer to wait for them to become a Witch since a Familiar won't drop a Grief Seed."

[b]"Figures,"[/b] Gale muttered.

The Familiar was coming to attack her again, in response Gale jumped upwards, using the walls on either side to climb above the Familiar. Once she was on top of it she detached Gust and brought it underneath her before firing a powerful gust of wind at the creature below. Being made of paper it was easily caught up in the attack and thrown to the ground where it began to struggle uselessely against the wind. Giving a satisfied smirk Gale landed on the ground, stomping on top of the creature to keep it in place. As she did so Gust came down, its blades spinning rapidly and shredding the creature beneath her apart with ease. Once the creature was done for the barrier faded back into reality.

[b]"So, how'd I do?"[/b] She asked, returning Gust to her arm and shrinking it down to dinner plate size.

"Very good," Kyubey replied "Though it was an extremely weak Familiar you did a good job nonetheless."

Gale heaved an annoyed sigh. [b]"Yes, thankyou, I'm well aware of how weak it was, you didn't need to tell me,"[/b]

Kuro didn't know if they were out of earshot from the other (maybe-potential) magical girl, but it didn't matter now. She was a bit annoyed, but kept a smile on her face anyway. That other witch, Artemis, she only won by using up more hope than a Grief Seed purifies despair. She needed the backup, and wasn't that her goal anyway? She nodded as Tsume walked alongside her. Together, they walked further away from the apartment, and suddenly the Soul Gem on her neck began to glow, indicating that a witch was nearby.

"Alright then. We can't leave a witch alone anyway, can we? If we do, then they'll attack other people." She replied, trying to manage a smile. "Now, let's go find this witch..."

However, it was hard to say that Kyubey wouldn't follow. Chances are that he would, but stay out of sight as long as Tsume was around. After all, that was the kind of creature he was. Kuro turned to see an abandoned corner, where the source of the witch was located. As they approached into, the entrance to a witch barrier began to materialize, a spiraling portal that led into a compressed world.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" Kuro asked, while walking towards it. She didn't seem to transform into her magical form just yet.

Sheibra continued to walk away from her apartment, with Kyubey still on her shoulder. The two had managed to find a witch, but it had unfortunately been just a familiar so Sheibra had just left it until it would grow into a full-blown witch with a Grief Seed. [color=#008080]"Why did you leave it back there?"[/color] Kyubey asked a short time after they had left the familiar's barrier. By then Sheibra had totally forgetten about the familiar, because it was useless and to her useless things didn't need to take up valuablebrain space.

[color=#b22222]"What? I didn't leave anything, everything I want I have."[/color] Sheibra said totally puzzled.

[color=#008080]"The familiar, you just left it back there. It will cause humans to commit suicide, and eventually turn into a witch, which will be more powerful than its current form."[/color]

[color=#b22222]"Yeah, but it will still drop a Grief Seed, and until it drops a Grief Seed its useless. I don't have time to spare on useless things. Besides I don't give a damn whether this thing kills humans or not, I'm not human anymore, so their lives don't matter to me. Besides, what has humanity ever done for me." [/color]Sheibra said with a tone of pure contempt.

[color=#008080]"Well, because you were a human you were elegible to become a magical girl."[/color] Kyubey as usual was using logic... annoyingly.

[color=#b22222]"Again, I still don't see what humanity has done for me. I'm only doing your dirty work, because I have to. Remeber I only became a magical to save my own skin."[/color] Sheibra rolled her eyes continuing to walk searching for a witch.

Tsume approached the Barrier, standing in front of the swirling distortion. [color=#800080]"I have been thinking about what you said the other day. About how Hurrican Hallow will return soon. And I wanted to tell you that...there are reasons for me to want to defend this city. Especially from something like that. And while I am normally not willing to ally myself with anyone who so eagerly serves...that monster...I feel that your efforts would benefit from the addition of my skill set, and that I would be able to accomplish my own goals with your forces."[/color] She turned around to face Kuro, a serious expression on her face. [color=#800080]"Therefore, I wish to make you a deal. I will help you, if I am the one to train your little army of Magical Girls."[/color]

Gale and Kyubey soon left the alleyway behind them, the witch's trail having gone dead short after defeating the familiar. Gale had transformed back into her regular appearance and Kyubey was hanging from her shoulder again while she put her soul gem back in her jacket's inside pocket.

[b]"Kyubey, about what you were saying before, about other magical girls just leaving Familiars and just going after Witches,"[/b] She began.

"Not all of them are like that," Kyubey interrupted "It's just that some prefer not to waste magic on something that won't replenish it."

[b]"Hm... I... I guess that makes sense,"[/b] Gale replied [b]"But if it grows into a full Witch won't it cause more harm than if they killed it before it could?"[/b]

"It really just comes down to a matter of preference," Kyubey replied "Do you value the safety of others over your own? It's a similar reason as to why magical girls tend to work alone, a Witch will only drop one Grief Seed and while they can be used more than once they tend to prefer to keep them for themselves so they can recharge their Soul Gems whenever they need to. Usually a group will only form if an especially powerful Witch appears that is too strong for a single magical girl to take out on her own."

[b]"But doesn't working in a group mean you'd spend less magic fighting?"[/b] Gale replied [b]"That way you can share the seed out among each other and still have plenty left for later. In any case, you're the one making contracts with all of them, can't you convince them to work together?"[/b]

"I only make the contract, it's not my place to tell a magical girl how she does her job," Kyubey explained "That decision is up to them, I really don't care what choice they make."

Gale was about to reply when she felt the Soul Gem in her pocket reacting once more, taking it out to find it glowing. [b]"Ah, I think it's the same as before,"[/b] she said [b]"It must be the witch that left that Familiar behind."[/b]

Gale took off at a steady jog down the street, hopefully this one wouldn't turn out to be just another familiar.

****

It was imperfect, even as she drew Roseann knew it was imperfect. with a single swipe of one of her long black tendrils she knocked the half sketched object aside sending it tumbling into a pile with countless others where it was immediately set upon by the flying scraps of paper that were her Familiars, muching away greedily. Roseann hated the sound of their muching and was about to slap the pests aside when something caused the witch to pause. The Vincent's seemed to be growing restless, they were flying about more erratically than usual and didn't seem to be eating the mound of sketched objects scattered about the barrier, something was agitating them. Roseann didn't care a thing for them, a few of them had even been left behind when the witch had moved from one place to another and Roseann hadn't been bothered to try and retrieve them, but something about the way they had suddenly been set off caught the witch's attention.

It took the writhing black mass a moment or two but the answer soon came, there were intruders at the entrance of her barrier, two of them to be exact. Roseann felt like screaming, except that was impossible as there was no mouth to scream with, instead the witch merely settled for scraping her tendrils angrily across her barrier, causing a series of thick black lines to fall from the cieling and cause even more clutter among the floor around her. If those intruders entered the barrier Roseann would kill them immediately and make them food for the Vincents, maybe that would finally shut them up and let Roseann work in peace.

[color=#000000]Elison, not wanting to [i]talk[/i] to Kyubey about Galina, just up and left the bedroom, and headed downstairs, only to find a note from her mother on the fridge.[/color]

[i][color=#800080]'Eli[/color][/i]

[i][color=#800080]I left early this morning to see if I couldn't cut myself down a tree. Lunch should be at the top shelf for you if I don't get back by 12. [/color][/i][i][color=#800080]Remember to lock the door if you wanna go outside or spend some time with your friends today[/color][/i]

[i][color=#800080]I'll see you soon[/color][/i]
[i][color=#800080]Love Mom[/color][/i]

[i][color=#800080]PS. Don't be surprised if I come home with the boys.'[/color][/i]

[color=#000000]By boys, Elison could only deduce that to be some of Mrs. Hikari's workmates. But that didn't [i]matter[/i] to her. What mattered was that, realistically, she had 5 hours to find Lerna's barrier and see if she couldn't get some answers from her, [i]perhaps[/i] fight a witch if she was in the mood, and get back home again before they arrived. However, the minute she stepped and locked the door, she instinctively examined her Soul Gem. It was indigo with a few odd spots of black, [i]neither[/i] colour of which it normally comprised of; magenta. Considering she hadn't fought in a while, this could only mean she was starting to fall into despair.[/color]

[color=#008080]"[i]That's[/i] about the same as I last saw [i]Galina's[/i] Soul Gem at,"[/color][color=#000000] Kyubey stated, having observed Elison's from the rooftop, [/color][color=#008080]"What makes you think you'll evade the same [i]fate[/i]?"[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"Because... because...!"[/color][color=#000000] Elison froze momentarily, starting to cry some more before finally having enough of her own snivelling, [/color][color=#ee82ee]"BECAUSE I WON'T [i]ALLOW[/i] IT!! I'll [i]die[/i] before I become some monstrosity like Galina has, and I [i]certainly[/i] won't do either until I fulfil the wish I made in the damned [i]contract[/i][/color][color=#EE82EE]!"[/color]

[color=#000000]She then trudged through the snow, determined to find Lerna. Kyubey, meanwhile, had disappeared, only to observe a heterochromic girl from the distance.[/color]

[color=#000000]...[/color]

[color=#000000]This girl, Yeumara Jirozu, was singing something about a winter wonderland rather [i]loudly[/i], allowing everyone in the park to hear what in [i]her[/i] mind was a very angelic voice. As per usual, people just started throwing beer and soda cans at her at an attempt to shut her up, but about half-way through her song, she found that [i]one[/i] of them was starting to spill an orange drink of sorts. Yeumara picked up the can and swirled it around, to find that it was still half-full of this particular drink.[/color]

[color=#ffa07a]"Oh hey, [i]this[/i] one still has soda in it!"[/color][color=#000000] Yeumara exclaimed excitedly, drinking this drink and settling it back down before preparing to return to the very song she was singing beforehand, [/color][color=#ffa07a]"Now where was I? Oh yeah... ♪♫[/color][color=#FFA07A]Walking in a winter wonderlaaaaaaaaaaa-...![/color][color=#ffa07a]♫♪[/color][color=#FFA07A]"[/color]

[color=#000000]Her song was cut short by a frisbee colliding into one side of her head, causing her body to slowly tilt on impact until she fell over and onto the grass.[/color]

[color=#000000][b]Yeumara Owned Count: 1[/b][/color]

[color=#008080]"Hmm... poor girl,"[/color][color=#000000] Kyubey mused in the distance, [/color][color=#008080]"Perhaps she should wish for a better singing voice..."[/color]

"Uh...I don't think I have a choice, but I'll accept your offer anyway." She replied, after a moment's pause. Kuro winced at the statement, something she found hard to agree to.

The two of them then entered through the witch barrier, emerging into a sketchy-themed labyrinth with flying crumpled-up paper - most likely the familiars of the witch that resided here. Then, she put her hand to her Soul Gem and tapped it, kickstarting a transformation sequence that replaced her 'casual' clothes (if it could be called that) with a witch-themed costume, complete with a pointy hat and a broomstick that she held in her left hand, capable of flying if she so wished it. Despite looking like a traditional witch, she was actually just a magical girl with that kind of look.

Her eyes darted from left to right, runes spelling out a lost girl's dissatisfaction with her drawings in Kuro's mind. Her ability wasn't giving her a clear image, but there wasn't much else to say about this particular witch. The familiars...Vincents, were they, began to grow agitated. The presence of the two magical girls had been detected.

"But on one condition of my own." Kuro said sharply, interrupting whatever thought was going through Tsume's mind. "I only told you about Hurricane Hallow because you would've found out anyway with that Magical Vision...but you are not to tell anyone else about it. Don't even imply that there will be any threat on Christmas day."

She took a step forward, conjured a fireball in her free hand, and threw it at one of the Vincent familiars to make it burn.

"Magical girls need hope to fight... so the only way we can really prevail is if we keep everything as happy as possible...until the curtain closes." She concluded, and jumped up into the air, putting the broomstick between her legs. It stayed afloat. "Now, let's take care of this witch, before it harms anyone...!"

Tsume nodded at her new sister-at-arms and clasped her own Soul Gem. Like Kuro, Tsume underwent a transformation sequence, purple serrated scythe-like blades shredding her clothes before she passed through a purple eye-shaped portal, which created her Magical Girl uniform. Like many Magical Girls, her outfit resembled something a Japanese schoolgirl would wear, but her attire was purple with black trim, including a black bow and a black kerchief with purple lines, along with a black skirt and purple leggings that end with black shoes. On her shoulders rested a pair of silver shoulder pads, while additional silver armor sections had attached themselves to her lower limbs, creating gauntlets and greaves. A pair of black fingerless gloves were around her hands, and a purple bow had tied itself in her hair, the two halves poking up to faintly resemble the ears of a canine. She extended her hands, and large serrated scythe with a purple handle and a golden object on the end formed, which she gripped tightly. The girl then closed her eyes and, after about a few minutes of silence, announced to Kuro. [color=#800080]"We go left, left, second right, left, third right, right, left, forward, left, right, third left, left, forward, then right. I am pretty sure the Witch didn't detect me. There were about three dozen or so Familiars on this route."[/color]

The Vincent's activity increased as the two humans entered through the barrier, intruding into Roseann's little private sanctuary. The little paper Familiars almost immediately flew towards the two but were easy prey for the first girl's fire attack, the first one to charge was hit almost immediately, the paper body was eaten away within seconds and it fell to the floor in charred rags. The others witnessed this and hesitated for a single moment before resuming their attack, swarming round the two and screaming into their faces but providing little obstacle for the two, they kept at it anyway however knowing how their mistress loathed intteruptions.

Roseann in the meanwhile had started working once again, this time sketching the beginnings of a female figure on the wall, a crude circle for a head and torso, long arms and hair. But within moments of starting she threw the image aside, causing it to tumble to the ground like an unfinished doll. Roseann couldn't work when there were intruders in her barrier, it was far too distracting and the Vincents were far too weak to even slow them down, let alone drive them out. There was only one thing for it, Roseann would wait for them to enter the focal point of the barrier and then kill them the moment they did so, maybe then the Witch of Imperfection would finally get some peace and quiet.

While Kuro simply incinerated the Vincents, Tsume sliced through them. Her Magical Vision hovered about her like a camera, constantly changing to keep track of the other Vincents in the area, as well as Kuro's movements, so the other Magical Girl does not get hit by Tsume's swirling scythes. Tsume had summoned a second scythe to aid in her assault, and was ripping through the paper creatures fairly easily. Too easily, in fact. Something was off about this Barrier, and based on the nature of this realm, it appeared as if the Witch used to be a Magical Girl with artistic skills, which could translate into many nasty potential wishes, Magical Girl powers, and subsequent curses. The two alternated, Tsume letting Kuro take point once she confirmed all Familiars in the immediate vicinity were eliminated, and proceeding through the maze to the next group. [color=#800080]"We're almost there."[/color] Tsume announced when they made the final turn down the path they were taking.

[color=#000000]Meanwhile, inside a familiar tiled area with an ocean, a trio of Magical Girls were running at full force, no doubt trying to find Lerna, and intending to kill any of her familiars, known as Troy, that got in their way. Unfortunately, as one the girls was about to pounce on one Troy, that [i]specific[/i] one had transformed into a more humanoid form and slashed her into pieces with what could be only be described as a "stick" katana. The others were horrified, and started to retreat, but one of them had unwittingly stepped on a light tan tile, which disintegrated under her weight, causing her to fall into the ocean and sink to her death.[/color]

[color=#000000]The [i]last[/i] Magical Girl of the trio took off running, and bumped into a Troy, which transformed into its humanoid form and whipped out a "stick" shotgun. The Troy set off in hot pursuit of the Magical Girl, firing a few rounds of his shotgun into the girl's back. She kept running, ignoring the pain and hoping she'd get to an exit, until she was boxed in by a Troy with "stick" nun-chucks, one with some "stick" shurikens, one with a "stick" boomerang and the one with the shotgun.[/color]

...

[color=#000000]Yeumara, meanwhile, had recovered from the frisbee incident, only to be greeted by Kyubey.[/color]

[color=#ffa07a]"Aww, you came [i]back[/i] to me?"[/color] [color=#000000]Yeumara asked.[/color]

[color=#008080]"Yeah, we need to talk,"[/color][color=#000000] Kyubey stated, [/color][color=#008080]"About your potential."[/color]

[color=#ffa07a]"I [i]know[/i], right?! Why can't anyone [i]else[/i] see...?"[/color][color=#000000] Yeumara was about to ask again.[/color]

[color=#008080]"I'm talking about as a Magical Girl,"[/color] [color=#000000]Kyubey intervened.[/color]

[color=#FFA07A]"Huh?"[/color]

[color=#008080]"Magical girls [i]hope[/i] [/color][color=#008080]to this world."[/color]

[color=#ffa07a]"Are they a [i]band[/i][/color][color=#FFA07A]?"[/color]

[color=#008080]"No."[/color]

[color=#ffa07a]"Are they any good?"[/color]

[color=#008080]"I just [i]told[/i] you they weren't..."[/color][color=#000000] all of a sudden, Kyubey paused. It was starting to grow obvious that Yeumara just plain wasn't [i]getting[/i] it, which was why Kyubey needed a plan B, and quickly. Perhaps a trip to a Witch's Barrier was necessary, so he could [i]show[/i] Yeumara what it meant to be a Magical Girl.[/color]

[color=#008080]"Follow me,"[/color][color=#000000] Kyubey said, before leading Yeumara to the barrier that Tsume and Kuro went through.[/color]

The Kyubey that had been accompanying the trio of magical girls watched silently within the witch's barrier. Three shattered Soul Gems, potential despair never to come to fruition. The witches in this town lately had become extremely difficult to kill, and Lerna was perhaps the strongest of them all. Eventually, they would either be defeated or simply fade away, and the Grief Seed within them would drop. But still, after having amassed two separate teams simultaneously in one city, he had expected results to be somewhat...better. He would have to tell this to Kuro later.

-------

As Kuro and Tsume advanced, more and more information gathered into the witch girl's mind, collecting together to form a clearer image. Her ability hadn't yet fully activated, she didn't understand the mistake yet - that occurs when she meets the witch face-to-face - but she did understand that whatever the girl had done, it just was never enough for her. Even after using up a wish of all things to improve her drawings, it wasn't enough. Even perfection wasn't enough for this witch. Kuro continued to fly forth on her broomstick, but slow enough so that she was at the same speed as Tsume's running.

"This is it," she told her teammate, arriving at a sketchy entrance. It opened...

Gale had broken into a sprint as they began to close in on the Witch's location, her Soul Gem glowing brighter and brighter as they approached. Gale finally came to a stop at a deserted street corner, holding her Soul Gem in front of her which indicated the entrance right in front of them.

[b]"Here it is,"[/b] she said eagerly.

"I'll wish you the best of luck then," Kyubey hopped from Gale's shoulder onto the ground "I'll be waiting out here for you."

[b]"Eh?"[/b] Gale stared at the creature with a puzzled expression [b]"You're not coming in with me."[/b]

"I'm confident you'll be able to do this without my help," Kyubey replied "You're growing exceptionally fast, a Witch of this level shouldn't pose a threat to you anymore."

At this a wide grin spread across Gale's face and she nodded eagerly, turning back to the barrier entrance as it materialized, a swirling pattern of curving lines wrapping over each other repeatedly like a spyrograph drawing. She took a step forward and vanished into the barrier which soon faded from sight as well. Kyubey watched her vanish before he himself seemed to fade out of existence.

Gale looked around at the barrier she found herself in, finding a larger version of the one she'd encountered the Familiar in earlier, large structures resembling pencil sketches surrounded her and shifted like an unfinished animation, creating a maze of black and white lines.

[b]"So this is the same one then,"[/b] she muttered to herself.

She held her Soul Gem above her head and it glowed brightly, wrapping Gale's body with bright green light which soon dissapated to reveal her magical girl form while the Soul Gem itself became a spiral shaped jewel on the back of her left hand. Her transformation complete she proceeded through the barrier, hoping to find the Witch as soon as possible. As she ran she noticed that there didn't seem to be any Familiars around, whereas in her previous hunts the barriers had been crawling with them.

[i]What's going on here?[/i] Gale thought to herself.

****

The Vincent's were too weak to stop the intruders, as Roseann had expected, and they soon reached the focal point of the barrier where Roseann lay in wait. As the two entered the Witch glared at them, or it would if it had any eyes, instead its rage was shown as the thousands of black coils that made up its body began to shake and writhe with even more vigour than before. Roseann hated intruders in her barrier.

The black tendrils that made up Roseann's body began to stretch out, wrapping around the discarded objects littering the barrier and began to toss them at the intruders, even picking up the discarded parts of the figure she'd been trying to draw earlier. The remaining tendrils began drawing along the walls, quickly sketching out any bladed weapon that the Witch's one track mind could think of and hurling them at the intruders as well. Roseann didn't even care if the Vincent's got in the way of her attacks as they flew around making a futile effort to drive them out, all they could do though was fly around them and scream loudly, their efforts completely inaffective.

Sheibra had after an hour finally found a witch, and tapped her Soul Gem which causes a red mist to spread around her starting her transformation into a magical girl. Her red tank top spread out transforming into a full length dress and a black mini skirt spreading over the red dress. A white sleeves came on her meeting at her back, and a black ribbon criss-crossed her upper body, and met a silver ring position around her belly button. Sheibra's red Soul Gem fit fit nicely into the center of the small headdress she had. Finally a long burst of fire erupted from the ground making her staff, which she toke finishing her transformation.

With that Sheibra entered the Witch's Barrier, only to find another Magical Girl had beaten her to the punch, [color="#b22222"]"Damn... well I see might as well get this over with. Hey, girly please move out of my way, little tikes like you shouldn't try to take on big bad witches like this one. Maybe you should stick to little familiars." [/color]Sheibra did this as she cast the girl a mean smile, and walked past her.

[color=#008080]"Your statement is quite puzzling, that girl is obviously older than you but you called her little tike, which would imply that she is younger than you," [/color]Kyubey said still on her shoulder.

[color=#b22222]"Please shut up," [/color]Sheibra said as they moved further into the Witch's Barrier. Hopefully they had left the girl behind, as Sheibra was in no mood for dead weight.

[color=#008080]"Again your statement confuses me, there is nothing above me that is required to be closed." [/color]

[color=#B22222]"Sometimes, Kyubey, I wonder if you do this on purpose."[/color]

[color=#008080]"Do what on purpose."[/color]

[color=#b22222]"Have a failure to comprehend human expressions..." [/color]Sheibra stopped, finally noticing something was wrong about this Witch's Barrier, [color=#b22222]"wait a second there are no Familiars here, don't all Witch's have them. [/color][color=#b22222]I swear Kyubey if this is another Familiar, and you tricked me I'll kill you."[/color]Sheibra grumbled as they moved further into the Witch's Barrier close to reaching the Witch's Room.

Tsume chuckled to herself as she charged forward, gripping her scythes tightly. These projectiles were nothing but paper and graphite, and easily sliced through or burnt. This WItch posed no challenge at all for her. She focused, and several large scythes appeared in midair around her, their handles shorter than normal while their blades longer and curving around into a semicircle. These special scythes came together, each one gaining a singular partner, and connected their handles together while their blades fit snugly within each other, forming giant serrated chakrams. She started spinning her projectiles, the chakrams whirring to life like a swarm of angry bees before launching themselves at Roseann, each arcing towards her at a different angle, but all of them would slice through the Witch from different directions at different times, making it very hard to counter with one attack. No matter what, Roseann was most likely going to be hit by one of these projectiles. And Tsume was already starting to construct a second wave.

[color=#000000]Elison was [i]also[/i] watching the trio go about their demise, from a tile above the conflict.

[color=#000000]Lerna stopped. She kept an eye out on the surviving Magical Girl using one of her heads, but her main had looked Elison straight in the eye at the same time. Some Troys that hadn't transformed yet rushed in between them, displaying an array of runed tiles like multiple times before.[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"Under attack?!"[/color][color=#000000] Elison exclaimed, [/color][color=#EE82EE]"It looks like they're [i]doing[/i] the attacking to [i]me[/i][/color][color=#EE82EE]!"[/color]

[color=#000000]Of course, it would take a while for Lerna to "spit out" an explanation. These runed tiles were her only means of communication to Magical Girls and/or candidates, which meant that each time she needed to make a new message, the Troys displaying these messages would have to routinely disperse, collect some new tiles and return as quickly as possible, perhaps with more or less of their kind than before. Alas, a new message had arrived.[/color]

[color=#000000]After a second of displaying this message, the Troys all transformed into their humanoid forms and dropped down to the group of tiles below.[/color]

[color=#000000]...[/color]

"I HAD JUST ABOUT [i]ENOUGH[/i] OF THIS!!"[color=#000000] screamed the soul surviving Magical. All of a sudden, her arms suddenly transformed into thick, thorny vines, as she spun around as quickly as possibly. The surrounding Troys had dodged the first swing, but were completely ensnared by the second, before the girl slam dunked them into the ocean. However, she didn't have much time to catch a breather before a massive wave of Troys descended from above her...[/color]

"Son of a... S***!!"[color=#000000] [/color][color=#000000]the girl took off running, knowing full [i]well[/i] she couldn't take on that many Troys at a time. Many ranged attacks were being launched at her, ranging from "stick" throwing weapons, "stick" arrows and crossbow bolts, and even bullets from "stick" firearms, but the girl kept going, purposely jumping onto and off of the lighter tiles in an attempt to throw the Troys off the pursuit. But these things knew their turf to [i]well[/i] to be fooled by some foreign entity. Eventually the girl got a bright idea to latch her vines onto a tile that was higher up, and tried to pull herself up, but was stopped by Lerna. With a combination of brute strength and the girl's [i]own[/i] powers, Lerna pried the girl from the tile, and shoved a vine right down her oesophagus, until it reached into her stomach.[/color]

[color=#000000]Inside, Lerna felt around for and managed to find the girl's Soul Gem, which she had swallowed, and while the girl tried and failed to plead for her life, Lerna was having similar difficulties trying to crush the Soul Gem inside her. That was until the girl had foolishly tried to punch her in one of the main head's eyes, with a fist that she had transformed into a tree trunk. This was immediately rebounded by a strange barrier that appeared around Lerna out of nowhere, but Lerna, realizing that she could do the same, had transformed one of her heads into a tree trunk and slammed the girl in the gut, crushing her Soul Gem in the process.[/color]

[color=#000000]...[/color]

[color=#000000]Elison could only watch in [i]horror[/i] as Lerna effortlessly killed the Magical Girl, and discarded her corpse like common trash. No doubt that there was a separate Kyubey that bore witness as well. Elison turned to this Kyubey, and approached it slowly.[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"Kyubey? How did you [i]find[/i] me here?"[/color] [color=#000000]Elison asked.[/color]

[color=#008080]"Me? Find [i]you[/i]?"[/color][color=#000000] Kyubey queried, [/color][color=#008080]"I was here the whole time,"[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"Oh..."[/color][color=#000000] Elison muttered, [/color][color=#ee82ee]"You must be a different Kyubey; the one that knows me [i]warned[/i] [/color][color=#EE82EE]me about that."[/color]

[color=#008080]"Quite,"[/color][color=#000000] after saying this, Kyubey observed Elison's Soul Gem, only to see that it had gotten more blackened than usual, [/color][color=#008080]"Hmm... I see why you've come here now, but after what you must've [i]seen[/i] so far... don't you think you're being rather ambitious?"[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"Huh? [i]NO[/i]!! ...yes. I'm not here to fight."[/color]

[color=#008080]"Oh?"[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"I... I just want some [i]answers[/i][/color][color=#EE82EE]."[/color]

[color=#008080]"Answers to what?"[/color]

[color=#EE82EE]"From Lerna. I wanna know why and how she became a witch... and I want the truth, [i]all[/i] [/color][color=#EE82EE]of it."[/color]

[color=#008080]"I see... That'll have to [i]wait[/i]. I suppose you want this Lerna alive then, not that I [i]approve[/i] of it, so I'll take you out of here and into another labyrinth."[/color]

[color=#ee82ee]"Thanks... I guess,"[/color][color=#000000] with that, Elison followed Kyubey out of the labyrinth.[/color]

While Tsume fended off the witch's first attack, memories of the witch - Roseann - flooded into Kuro's head. Her entire life, it had all been [s]Unlimited Art Works[/s] not enough for her. Whatever she drew, it was never enough. Even after wishing for artistic talent, wasting a wish on something so mundane, she still wasted it and eventually fell into despair. The mistake from this witch had been learnt; there comes a time when someone must recognize their own limit, and accept it. Humans cannot fly, and if you wish to Kyubey for wings or the power of flight, don't cry when you realize that wings cannot make you fly higher within space.

In any case, once she was done and Tsume had launched a first wave at the witch that would distract it, Kuro got on her broomstick, flew near the witch, and picked up a piece of paper on the ground that should've been eaten by a Vincent but wasn't. De-crumpling it while making sure she was still in front of the witch, while Tsume's scythes still flew at it... [i]"This is awesome!"[/i] She exclaimed, praising the witch's talent.

It probably deserved at least that before it died.

Then, consuming the piece of paper to make a larger fireball than usual, she went back near the witch and threw it onto the black-tendril monster, flying around it like a persistent fly.
