Chapter Text
Once again Homura had failed
Over and over, she failed to protect her dearest friend
Walpurgisnacht had bested her once more
She lay hurt and drained as the battlefield flowed with gunpowder in the air with the being she hated the most staring them down from a shattered building
“Incubator”.
“It appears you are at your limit Akemi Homura.”
“It’s not over yet.” however as they reached into their shield once more, nothing came out
“I... I can't stop, not until I exhaust everything with all my power.” and began sprinting forward to only see her face and the ground collide.
“Homura!” the pink blur loomed over her
Can't even see straight now... damn it!
“Kyubey told me my reason for my potential is that you have went back in time for my sake... look at yourself you're not even hurt or damaged in anyway, yet you can’t even move, stop pushing yourself so much.” Madoka gasped sadly
“Homura you should value your life more, please”
Those words hit harder than a truck to Homura in that moment
“Ma-do ka...” she managed to say
“Kyubey I can change her fate, right?”
You can’t!
Unfortunately, she found that they couldn't even move her own mouth with the little strength they had left
“With your potential you could wish for anything, you could even become a god if you wanted.”
The black-haired girl could only listen conversation of the pinkette being doomed by fate
“You’ve done all you could of yet... i can't even imagine what you have been though, let me at least help you even just a little bit, I’m sorry Homura”
“Kyubey, my wish! Give all my power, all my strength to Homura!”
It was as the rain above froze in place
Madoka fell backwards
Madoka's eye’s dimmed white
Madoka was dead
“Wh-w-what, no... MADOKAAAAAAAAAAA”
“That was unexpected I did not foresee that outcome at all”
rage rising within her “H-how could you...”
“The outcome of a wish are merely decided on the meaning and will of the contractor i have no bearing on what happens on it”
“...”
“It seems they really gave everything to you, including her own life”
Homura’s expression deadpanned to an expression indescribable by emotions alone
“Die”
The body of alien has been torn apart to several pieces by the sheer blunt force of the slam of the shield in a blink of an eye
Tears fell to the ashened surface
“Not even going to question how you are able to stand curre-” to be met with the metallic barrel of a rocket launcher being thwacked onto them sending the terminal of Incubator into the dirt below what was left of the pavement
The world continued to move
“What have i done... for Madoka to reach this ending... No, ill just try again, endlessly forever, I'll keep moving forward in this maze”
“I have to”
Homura willed the shield to open up its true magic once more
The spinning gears in the shield of time began to move faster and faster
Time reversed
