Hikari landed on her feet, sighing as she looked back up at the broken window. While she could vanquish the creature which had done the deed, she couldn’t repair infrastructure. She wasn’t sure what to do. What was the protocol for having a Majou which exited her barrier. Did such thing even exist? She would ask that strange man in the black kimono for that answer. So she hopped back up, not wanting to de-transform in case he was also hostile. But it was better to have backup. So she whipped out her phone and called Tomoe Mami, explaining everything that happened.<br/><br/>Mami-san was the sole magical girl of Kazamino before she had contracted. She was a year older and orphaned when she was Hikari’s age. A blonde musket user, she had mentored Hikari for a while, before she started falling behind in school. Reluctantly, Mami had agreed to take shifts instead. She knew Mami was lonely and enjoyed her company, yet Hikari was still reluctant to bother her.<br/><br/>Within minutes, Mami was on the scene, Kyubey perched on her shoulder.<br/><br/>“You’re lucky that I was close by.” Mami-san said. “I just finished up. Did you use up a lot of magic? Don’t bother lying, show me your soul gem instead.”<br/><br/>Hikari hesitated, then pulled the glowing broach off the top of her cape. It wasn’t a lot of magic, about half of what she would’ve used to fight a witch but nevertheless, Mami tutted and held out a grief seed.<br/><br/>“No… Its fine, really! Mami-san” Hikari shouted.<br/><br/>“You need to take care of yourself.” Mami scolded. “Remember you can’t just use magic whilly nilly like that. You can’t help people if you run out of magic.”<br/><br/>Hikari slowly nodded. “Kyubey do you know what’s going on?”<br/><br/>The white creature jumped onto Hikari’s shoulder and nuzzled its head against hers. “I sensed nothing out of the ordinary today. Interestingly the being you fought today is not a Majou. It would explain the lack of a labyrinth and familliars. I did sense the release of a lot of energy when you defeated it. It is true that this phenomenon is very interesting. I would very much like to study it. Let us talk to this man.”<br/><br/>Hikari frowned. Sure but the similarities of the two beings still bugged her. There was surely a connection. Nevertheless she shook it off as a coincidence. “Up.” She said, motioning towards her window. “But would this person be able to see you Kyubey?”<br/><br/>Kyubey shook its head, tail slithering back and forth. “Probably not. However anything is possible at this point. Magic defies all logic.”<br/><br/>Hikari nodded as she jumped and Mami followed. The battle must’ve damaged the wiring as it was pitch black in the room.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">“Lux”</span>She muttered. To her relief, he was still alive. This lead her to think he probably had some sort of resistance against wounds as well, or at least against death. The gaping hole in his body spoke of its healing abilities.<br/><br/>Mami and Hikari both held out their soul gems, effectively closing all wounds.<br/><br/>“Now then. Tell me. What was that<span style="font-style: italic">thing</span>that attacked us.” Mami said, all but pointing her musket. Hikari’s face however was one of worry and confusion, the lighting had slowly turned into a light yellow colour. “Don’t try to get up. We’ve healed you but you should still rest.”<br/><br/>It was obvious they could see him. It was also obvious that they had no clue what the hell was going on, despite the outside hostility and confidence.<br/><br/><br/>*Note: Kyubey and Mami are Canon characters.<br/><a class="postlink" href="https://images.puella-magi.net/9/95/Kyubey.jpg?20110117211919">Kyubey</a><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://static.zerochan.net/Tomoe.Mami.full.901409.jpg">Mami</a>
