Crystalwatcher's Magical Girl Quest!

Reader mode
"Cheery Place," you say to no one in particular.

Goddess Gold - and by extension you – had been re-deployed to a more active location. According to Samael it was to draw the other Goddesses away from places with people. You suspect Samael was right as you gaze over the flattened, half-rotted trees and haze. Why would Unified Light set up a staging area in a nuclear crater other than to be in a remote place.

With the haze scattering the early morning sun, and all the nearby trees long since crushed, the world is nearly monochrome as you squint to try and pick out snipes. Team Gear had been assigned for this snipe hunt since before the sun rose, all the hours had revealed was that this place even made sunrises boring.

"Do you think we'll see a snipe now that it's light out?" You still have the feeling there's something your team isn't telling you.

"Snipes are very sneaky, even with the way they make themselves invisible they'll still stick to the shadows."
"Yeah, they'll be almost harder to see in the light. Keep looking though."
"It's almost better if you don't spot one. They may spy on us, but if you're good at spotting snipes you keep getting assigned on snipe hunts."

You turn a bleary eye on your less-than-helpful team as they expectantly watch an enchanted coffee pot.

"Uggh, this assignment sucks."
 
Actually im curious how Nepgear would have joined the Unified Darkness, had we gone solo... Her personality doesn't seem to allow it.

Unless it wasn't voluntarily?

Nepgear's whole world has been destroyed and the only person who ever cared about her is dead, if someone offered her a chance to get her sister back she'd take it in a heartbeat. You'll be surprised at just how far someone is willing to go for their loved ones.

As confusing as it I, it's... kinda both.

More like 'Pet Little Sister'. I'm way to tired to explain the horrific mess that is Rei's psych right now.

Collecting Votes and writing next segment when I get up tomorrow.

So she sees us as a way to redeem herself after having failed her sisters, but at the same time she doesn't want to get too close to us.
 
I wonder if Nepgear will realize the UD can bring back her sister for real. I mean she's looking at Candy, and can probably figure out some brainwashing is involved, but...

1st Omake:

Ana bawled into her sisters shirt.

Her sister who was right in front of her. Her sister that Ni had revived. Her sister that had been crushed and ble-

NO! Her sister was right here. Sega was here.

"Shh, shhh. Its alright Nep, I'm here." her sister spoke gently as she rocked them both back and forth gently.

Of course this only made her start crying harder.

Somewhere in it all she knew she ended up crushing Ni in a hug while babbling apologies and thanking her at the same time. She even remembered seeing a ghost of a smile on the girls face, if a somewhat sad one.

In the end, she didn't stop crying for so long, she ended up exhausting herself. And for the first time in a long time, she was able to sleep with her sister again.

... And even in her sleep, her death-grip on G3#&^an tightened even as she felt its bloodlust in the back of head recede. It was the only thing keeping her from vaporizing her sister afterall.

2nd Omake:

The world was muted and grey.

The chaos of the battle around her seeming to slip past her. And indeed, no one was shooting at her.
(She ripped her earbud away as the muted voices yelling at her started to hurt/drag her attention away)
Sega was there.
(And it was Sega, she could see Ni over her sister's shoulder)
They had found out who she was and now she was paying for it.
(Rei was coming to stop it all, but Ichi blocked her)
She couldn't do anything. She felt like she couldn't even breathe.
(Her Weapon slipped from her hand and clattered to the ground)
And then her sister was hugging her, and smiling at her, and for the first time in months she felt whole, the world felt right.

"Sis..."

"Shh, shhh. Its alright Nep, I'm here." Ana trembled in her sister's arms, tears flowing down her face as she stared at her sister's smiling one, drinking in everything she could.

And then her sister grimaced and looked out at... at... the battle. Ana's head swiveled around to it as well, and she stared at the fight.

"I can't go."

Ana's head whipped to her sister and she croaked, "What?"

Sega was frowning and her eyes were sad, "I can't go over there, to the side you joined. So choose the one that'll make you happy."

And as Ana stared into her sister's eyes... she had no idea what to do.



Okay, so Sega kind of kidnapped the ending of the second one in the original draft of it, put this:
. And I know what the others here want me to do."

A smirk crossed Ana's face briefly, Sega was always good at playing the idiot.

Her sister returned her secret smile before it fell off again, "

just after "joined" in the 2nd to last line and I think you'll see what I mean. Neptune is very good at getting rid of a bad mood/air.

Also the stuff in parentheses is kind of invisitext that didn't make sense to actually make invisible since it's just an omake.

A corridor, but that does not describe the width. A hallway, but that ignores the height. Cathedralesque. The stone is black, glossy and smooth, but it comes to a low point in the middle of the way, a trough but deeper. You walk along, uncaring. The ceiling is flat.

Windows are equidistant from the ceiling and floor, but the night is dimmer than it should be, for the city shines a pale purple. You presume, having looked through none of them, judging only by the light cast on the ceiling from far below. They look like slits, glass unnoticeable until a flicker above glints oddly. All of them are on the right.

You are wearing a robe, deep purple and plush. It swishes over the stone, ever so softly. Nothing else does, not even your breath. It is quiet, so so quiet here. You keep walking forward on the slightly warm stone.

Forward. Always forward. Walking. The torch sconces are crystal, not wood. They emit no light. All is lit by the baleful glow of the city below. You keep walking forward, avoiding the shine of that midnight glow. It's wrong. The stars are gentle. All blue, and green, and purple, but softer than below. They twinkle.

You walk. The way spirals inward, widdershins. There is something ahead and behind. You cannot see them, but you know. The one ahead does not move, but it's ahead of you. It is silent. Waiting. You do not know for what. The one behind rustles as you do, but it drags across the ceiling. It must be tall, to do that.

Mosaics curl on the leftward wall. They portray evil things. Vast monoliths, towering skeletons, and shambling silhouettes of darkness carved with eyes. They don't enter the concentric circle motif centered on the sconces. Neither does the horrid light. Behind is quiet now. You can't tell if it's there anymore, but it is. You walk away.

You wake, in your sister's bed, tired and confused. She snuggles you back to a dreamless sleep.

[X] Plan Matchup
-[X] White Knight handles the Knight, while we handle Candy Heart
-[X] White Knight uses her speed to block of the Black Knight's attack while getting some hits of her own in, while we try to remove Candy Heart from the mausoleum, avoiding the use of Celestial Severance until we are no longer in the mausoleum. Once both of you have left, use Celestial Severance whenever you desire. If Starshine is used, care should be taken to not hit anything important that might bring the place down while your in the mausoleum.
-[X] Whoever kills their opponent first helps the other
-[X] Potshots should be taken at the zombies by WK and yourself whenever the opportunity presents itself
-[X] In the mean time, our squad radios Goddess Gold and Blue Sky for backup, then focuses on the zombies, Candy Heart, and the Black Knight in that order of importance. The zombies are a potential threat through sheer force of numbers, while White Knight can prevent the Black Knight through attacking through sheer speed. Candy Heart is the biggest threat to the group as a whole, and you in particular

-[X] Open up with Starshine, focusing on Candy Heart and keeping the zombies off us. Don't draw the Knight's attention if possible.

[X] Plan Purge
-[X] White Knight engages Black Knight utilising her greater speed to block/negate and attack, while we handle Candy Heart.
-[X] Ensuring that Candy Heart is at least within 40 meters (if not, close the distance through flight), activate Core Purge.
-[X] Team GEAR fires on the zombies from within the mausoleum, while radioing to request backup and detailing the situation, with specific mention to Goddess Red's Black Knight. If they start to get overwhelmed, retreat to Nepgear's Core Purge aura range if not inside already.
-[X] Once Core purge deals with Candy Heart, move to the entrance of the mausoleum and use Celestial Severance to thin the zombie horde once Core Purge wears off, using Starshine as necessary. Avoid damaging the mausoleum.
-[X] If Core purge fails, use Starshine and Purifier beam on Candy Heart, making sure not to hit anything that might collapse the mausoleum.
-[X] If the zombies are dealt with, help White Knight with Black Knight, taking any clean shots at BK.
