"Gah!"

The enemy magical girl was barely able to raise her spear defensively, using the shaft of the weapon to block the heavy punch as it sent her skidding backwards across the ground, sparks flying up from her feet. She swiftly readied herself for another strike... until the monstergirl suddenly retreated.

"Tch... that was the void shade I had [i]my[/i] eye on!" protested the spear-wielding girl, until she realized just what was happening behind her.

"I can sense the potential, the will to do good in your heart!" declared the fairy, brightly, "I can grant you the opportunity to be a beautiful and elegant agent of justice, a magical girl!"

Hikari's mouth opened and closed slowly. It wasn't enough that she had been attacked by a magical girl. It wasn't enough that the girl who had collided with her had also been a magical girl and summoned a female version of Frankenstein's Monster to attack the spear girl. It wasn't enough that a fairy had shown up out of no-where.

Now, on top of everything else, she was being offered the chance to be a magical girl herself.

Hikari's heart soared. A magical girl?! That was just what she had wanted, the chance to help people. Ever since that accident all those years ago... but... how was this happening?! How was any of it true?!

That's when the enemy magical girl's spear suddenly hurtled through the air, landing squarely between the fairy and Hikari, who yelped in surprise and fear that she would never admit to.

"Damn it, don't go giving her powers! That makes the whole thing pointless!" snapped the spear-wielder, her spear returning to her side just as quickly as it had been thrown.

"Muuu, but she has a lot of potential! She could help a lot of people! She could defeat a lot of void shades!" cried the fairy, waving her hands frantically at her sides as she did. "That's why I'm here!"

Hikari was simply too overwhelmed to even move, for the moment.

But there was this certain feeling... was another magical girl coming...?
