[At first, all that is seen is an abandoned building, seemingly in the North Eastern section of the city. On the wall, there is  a strange, glowing portal of sorts, emanating with light piercing the fog that couldn't be anything natural. The camera is pulled away to show Kyoko in her magical girl outfit, looking more serious than she ever has

[The video starts as Usagi.]

Wait. I'll come, too! You guys shouldn't go alone if there's a whole part of the city affected!

[For a moment, Kyoko gives her a "are you kidding me look", before she remembers what Yuma told her- Usagi was a magical girl too. Not their kind, but she still had power.]

It's just one- It ain't a Walpurgisnatch. We got this.

...

[But then thinking it over-]

If ya want to deal with the humans who got tricked by it, go ahead.

Wall Pure Gnat...?

[That isn't the important part, Usagi. Focus.]

What do you mean? What's happening to the people?

The witch has got them. I don't know how long it'll be, but they're probably going to start tryin' to kill themselves soon.

[ She ran as fast as she could. It's been weeks, but that certain symbol still leaves chills down her spine. That's her, that's definitely her. And this time, she's not going to kill anybody. Not on her watch. ]

[ She arrives in full magical girl gear, looking at the barrier with a serious demeanor. ]

I know this witch.

[fallenapple]

[Kyoko's eyes first go to her soul gem as she approaches- it was clear, for the most part. Good.]

[She looks up with a rather interested expression. Makes sense that the witches would be familiar.]

Yeah? What's it like?

[fallenoratorio]

It looks small at first, but be cautious - that's not it's true form. In truth, it looks like a huge caterpillar that's going to try and eat you up.

[ She pauses. And then - ]

That's the witch that killed Mami-san in our timeline.

[fallenapple]

What, you think I wouldn't be paying attention?

[Her smirk dies the instant she says that, her fingers clenching around her spear tightly. Her voice turns a bit predatory, an almost wild look going over her expression.]

Then we'll just have to kick it's ass twice over!

[Yuma wasn't far off from the place where Kyoko was-- after all, they'd gone out together. Still, she'd wandered away enough that it took her a minute to run back, and in that time, she'd transformed. Hammer in one hand, she waved as she came close.]

Yuma is here, Kyoko!

[fallenapple]

You're late, kid.

[It's said with a grin. She had already debriefed Sayaka, now it was time for Yuma.]

You got enough experience fighting these things, right?

[Offline]

[moralitycat]

[Yuma quirked a grin back, nodding enthusiastically.]

Uh-huh. You-- the other you-- taught me a lot. Yuma's good at slowing them down.

[Offline]

[fallenapple]

[She'd seen Yuma's powers, and from what Sayaka told her, they would be useful- Yuma could slow down the...caterpillar form, or what ever it was, while Sayaka and herself went in for the kill.]

Good. Hey, Sayaka told me this one's fast- you better be fast at slowing them down, kid. I don't want to see ya get eaten.

[stepford_smiles]

I'll be there as soon as I can.

[fallenapple]

Good. The rest of us are here already. Hurry up!

[bunny_flower]

A witch?

[fallenapple]

A monster from our world.

[No other details than that.]

[bunny_flower]

How dangerous is it?

[fallenapple]

Nothing we can't handle. But humans are pretty dumb and can get affected, so they better stay away.
