【The screen shifts.】
【This time, two figures lie submerged in water.】
【Homura Akemi and Madoka Kaname's hands are intertwined, their Soul Gems stained with a thick layer of grime.】
【“We're… done for.”】
Yume Niwa: “This wave, folks, the Ueno collab. One death, one assist.”
Subaru Natsuki: “We're going to die again… This time Homura’s Soul Gem is black, no rewind possible!”
The Darkest of Dark Souls: “I refuse to believe this ending! They have to survive!”
【Despondently, Homura Akemi speaks, “We’ll become monsters, throw this world into chaos… until everything feels like it never happened…”】
【As she speaks, tears stream down Homura’s face. But Madoka Kaname takes out a Grief Seed and places it on Homura’s Soul Gem!】
【Instantly, the grime on Homura's Soul Gem is absorbed.】
【Homura jolts awake, her eyes widening in disbelief as she stares at Madoka.】
【Madoka smiles weakly, “That was a lie… I still had one left.”】
Touka Kirishima: “Destroying the world… is Homura giving up?”
Nanao: "A world without hope, even flowers wither. They have no future, their ending is sealed…”
Rin Tohsaka: “Ah! Mami Tomoe’s relic! It was Mami Tomoe who saved Homura!”
HK416: “The Soul Gem is shining! There’s a chance!”
Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Sayaka… she really… I’m going to cry! Even in death, she's still participating!"
【“Why? Why use me?”】
【Interrupting her, Madoka pleads with a choked voice, “Because I want to ask you, Homura, to do something. Something only you can do…”】
【Homura, you can go back in time, right? You said you could change the past to stop it all from happening again, right?】
【As she speaks, Madoka sheds tears, “Could you… go back and save me before I was tricked by Kyubey…?】
【Witnessing Madoka’s dwindling life force, Homura cries out, “I promise! I’ll save you! No matter how many times I have to repeat this, I’ll protect you!”】
Subaru Natsuki: “Homura is going to face countless deaths, too? Saving one person is so difficult… I hope you succeed, Homura.”
Ultraman: "Kyubey, you vile dog! A creature without pain shouldn’t exist!"
Miu Tsukimori: "This is too cruel… Too heartbreaking… A magical girl’s ending shouldn’t be like this!"
Frisk: “Homura is filled with determination!”
Otto Apocalypse: "Lucky girl, make sure you fulfill your promise…"
【Hearing Homura’s answer, Madoka gives a contented smile before her body begins to convulse, her transformation into a witch commencing.】
【“Homura… could you do one more thing for me… I… don’t want… to become a witch…”】
【Madoka slowly raises her now pitch-black Soul Gem.】
【Homura clenches her jaw, drawing a pistol. With a heart-wrenching, anguished scream, she kills her best friend, Madoka Kaname!】
Yorick: “To slay one’s beloved… Pain! Pure agony!”
Obito Uchiha: "I, Obito Uchiha, proclaim you the most sorrowful.”
Thor: "Her will is surpassing even my three thousand years of will."
逢魔時王: "All this pain is not meaningless. It will propel Homura to become a true Demon!"
凉冰: "Old geezer, you're such a braggart. I wanna see what this so-called "demon" can do!"
【Once more, Homura returns to the past, her eyes devoid of life, filled only with sorrow and indifference.】
【“No one believes the future. No one can accept the future.”】
【She becomes a magical girl, endlessly hunting Kyubey in the darkness, simultaneously preventing any Kyubey from approaching Madoka and stopping her from becoming a magical girl.】
【In the frozen time, she steals the entire arsenal of a mob, and even steals the weapons of the American military base stationed there.】
Mash Kyrielight: “Homura Akemi has gone dark!”
Jing Yuan: "Her determination to hunt Kyubey is just as resolute as our pursuit of the Abominations of Abundance."
Momoshiki Otsutsuki: "Won't believe the future, won't accept the future? Wrong! It's only the future that drives people mad!"
Gellert Grindelwald: "Those stuck in their ways, those who haven't matured, can't accept a painful future. They only desire what's pleasant.”
Gintoki Sakata: "I don’t see a single ounce of pleasantness in this magical girl story."
【Homura walks through the darkness, her heart filled with coldness and emptiness.】
【“I won’t rely on anyone again. I won’t let anyone know me. I can’t let Madoka fight.”】
【“I will deal with all witches, alone.”】
【Fire and explosions rampage through the witch barriers. Every single witch in Mitakihara is eradicated by Homura Akemi.】
Sasuke Uchiha: "Abandoning ties, refusing to trust anyone… in the end, there's only failure. That's the lesson I've learned in my half-life."
Ron Weasley: "So that's the magic of weaponry… It makes Homura the strongest magical girl right now… Way more useful than traditional magic!"
北山妖帝: “One against all, standing strong… Homura, you're a real m… a real woman! Ha!"
【Finally, the day of the Witch’s Night arrives.】
【Unlike before, where they fought together, this time, Homura stands alone.】
【She leaps into action, countless gunshots roar, missiles fly!】
【The witch’s attacks and crumbling buildings are blocked by a shield!】
Gandalf: “What century are we in, still learning traditional magic? Though, this magic is a bit too advanced.”
Deadpool: "American draw cut, fam."
Asuna: "Homura fighting alone, is that okay… This isn't a game! She could die!”
Shido Itsuka: “This is so hopeless… Is there no one who can save her? Why must Homura drown in despair alone?!”
Ryo Asuka: "You're protecting…? Never mind, good luck, kid!"
【Madoka is still tricked by Kyubey and brought to the battlefield.】
【"This is awful…" Madoka stares at Homura with worry.】
【Kyubey smoothly deceives her, "Indeed, her burden is too heavy. She's all alone."】
【Homura notices Madoka, screaming, “No!————！！！”】
【But Madoka can’t hear Homura’s plea. She’s tricked by Kyubey and becomes a magical girl.】
伽古拉: "Ugh... this Kyubey is even more disgusting than the most vile creatures in the universe."
Nyaruko: “Kyubey really knows how to manipulate people."
Junko Enoshima: "Ultimate Enticement."
Tamamo: "Kyubey keeps appearing, no matter how hard Homura tries, she can't stop them."
【…】
【The screen shifts again. Behind a thin layer of clouds, a massive black shadow looms. The city is practically levelled.】
【Kyubey remarks, "Amazing, she's so strong. Little Round just took out Witch’s Night with a single attack! She's the strongest magical girl, after all.”】
【Homura kneels on the ground, the wind whipping through her hair, her eyes losing their shine. "Even the ending, you saw it all through?"】
【Kyubey wags its tail, "Of course! The strongest magical girl defeating the Witch, she can only become the most evil witch!"】
【"Now Madoka only needs ten days to destroy Earth, right?"】
【“On the leaderboard, the words '救济の魔女' (Witch of Salvation) float into view.”】
Conan Edogawa: “I’ve found a blind spot! The first time, Madoka died facing Witch’s Night as a magical girl! The second time, she was defeated with Homura! Why is she stronger this time?!”
Lucy: "Cause and effect are stacking up."
Father Pucci: "Homura’s loop will propel Madoka to ascend to godhood! I’ve seen it all!"
Makima: “The dragon slayer becomes the dragon. If there's still fear, Madoka would become a Root Demon, wouldn't she?"
Gaia: "No way! Again? Why does Earth always have to be destroyed?!"
Eren Yeager: “The irony is, the witch who destroys the world is called Salvation."
