What if, in a world where countless issues have nearly pushed the brink for Humanity, that the Magical Girls suddenly exist (or rather, reintroduced) and the consenquences is not one expected of an typical Mahou world?

A reboot to my (technically speaking) first TL that I ever made. Update schedule will be of intermittent one.

Warning: Especially in the later chapters of this TL, there will be graphic scenes and occassional slurs that will be spoken by various characters (for which this author doesn't condone the usage of these slurs by any means.)

    "Magical girls defeat the final boss and bring peace to the world... it's quite the common scenario in stories. But what happens to the magical girls after that? Do they go back to being normal girls? Or do they continue their heroic activities? These stories don't understand a thing."
    • Brigadier, Magical Spec-Ops Girl Asuka

    "To explain the history of the introduction of Magical Powers and their users into our humanity, there is an outline that many are familiar with thanks to the various points in our history where polarization over things that were introduced into human society such as innovative technology and social ideas have been recorded in countless history books such Protestant Reformation, the introduction of the internet and computers in general, and common sense social ideas…

    …But the difference between those two concepts is that the concept of Magical Powers existed well before the birth of rigid rules that the concept of society provided; and when the concept of Magical Powers was reintroduced back into the planet, it led to events ranging from massive changes of the society that once followed by the rules that were set during the Victorian Era, and to several nations collapsing into conflict or revolutions as the society that once powers it became irreconcilable to the reality that they, the people who practiced Magical Powers, were present long before they existed at the first place."

    "To all of humanity that have gathered here today to discuss the issues and suggest solutions that the planet is facing right now and the future of the existence of those who make wonders for this planet that has the potential to grow and repair the issues that our kind have faced as of this moment such as constant warring between different groups of people, to discrimination of all kinds, to the continued economic woes, to ordinary people becoming apathetic to the nasty political games, and so much more. That the Higher Ones, the creators of our kind, would have to cry about what we have done to ourselves and this planet the moment the miracle that They have created in the hopes of solving the issues that we brought into the world, have finally returned to this planet after millennia of hiding beneath the shadows while fighting darkness from behind to keep the light open. Until now.

    Let me tell you a single story that I remembered from the days past. A story of where all things on this planet had begun such as the hardship we experienced and the success that we received. A story that would inspire generations to come…"

    [Q: What is this TL is all about, honestly?]

    A: This TL is a rebooted version of the very first TL that I wrote on this site in mind (technically speaking, since my actual first TL is a crossover TL) with a title, while it is a reference to a favorite TL that I used to read, that is long and not an unserious so much that I wrote the new name of the original TL instead. The reason it is a "reboot" of that particular TL of mine is that I, honestly speaking, both lost track of the plotline that I have laid out and had issues over the escalating events that I wrote in that TL…which is a reason why I kinda lost track to the laid-out plotline and why I have entered a very long month hiatus after the last TL I wrote halted due to the issue of escalating events and other kind of things. This rebooted version very much hoped to change the writing that I have, due to me re-reading favorite TLs of mine during my spare time that allowed me to structure the plotline (semi-)perfectly and prevent early escalating events from happening.


    [Q: How will the TL play out as new chapters are published?]

    A: I would say, it would be more similar to the famous 2020: Shots Fired and TLs directly, or indirectly, inspired by that TL. I dunno about the later chapters, but I'll hope that it stays 2020: Shots Fired-style of plotline…that is completely sprinkled with elements of a favorite HoI4 mod of mine known as Twilight of The Anthropocene in terms of "insane" events and what-not.


    [Q: How will the TL of yours last?]

    A: That'd depend on me either being exhausted or having problems with my writer's block. But be sure to check the chapter tracker of mine!


    [Q: Chief inspiration for this TL?]

    A: Many. So many that I'll gonna list it for posterity sake:


    -. 2020: Shots Fired by Dab Master


    -. An Age of Heroes or Darkness by Mr. Gatsby (probably the main inspiration of why this TL exists; except it's all about Magical Girls instead of Superheroes suddenly becoming present in the world.)


    -. Leaving The Cradle: An Orion's Arm Timeline by Addemup


    -. Fear, Loathing, and Gumbo of '72 Elections/Rumsfeldia by Drew


    -. To all the TLs made by an group of AH.com users that I personally call "PolChat Test Thread Clique" (especially to Shearsforest and AstroRangerBeans)


    -. Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka


    -. Motherland: Fort Salem


    -. Sleepless Domain (without this work, then I wouldn't be fascinated with Magical Girl things.)


    [Q: What are the PODs for this TL?]

    A: Won't gonna list anymore unlike in the original version, and instead I'll gonna put notes instead to explain the PODs and other intricacies that will be present in my TL.

    Return of Magic

    (June 5, 2021 - February 7, 2022)



    "When the Magic reappeared, Earth was facing a tumultuous string of events that nearly pushed the planet to the brink of destruction from the devastating global COVID-19 Pandemic to the intense political and societal polarization that had divided the globalized civilization, economic pressures, new conflicts popping out in various conflict-prone regions, and the issue of global warming that has transformed the once normal weather patterns into a dangerous one. Events that could have pushed the planet into a brink of destruction that were never seen before since the spark of World War 1…

    …So when Magic suddenly appeared, some saw it as a "hope" or a "miracle" that could prevent Earth from reaching its breaking point and others saw it as an issue that worsened the dire situation of the planet by adding new issues stemming from the return to its users as well. But whatever the opinions may be, Magic served as an arbiter of how things would run on the planet and re-wrote a new chapter of our history now that Magic has become a common thing in every civilization across the planet. For better or for worse…"

    • Chapter 1: The Beginning​

    [Can you tell us what happened that day you found the infamous photos? What are you doing at the time?]

    Before I stumbled on those photos that sparked a massive change for us humans for years to come, I was just an ordinary space enthusiast like everyone else who took a liking to a subject that could pave the way for us to finally expand beyond our planet after centuries of being stuck here and causing misery as time passes. Of course, being a space enthusiast has made me so passionate about it that I was always very devoted to looking up the current development of newer space technologies or discoveries either in news sites that are devoted to space or various forums that talk about space stuff all the time while my focus such as work has been, um, completely distracted by the subject that gave me in times when I am stressed at work. But at least, I didn't waste my days being a space fan to give some personal insights to other people who wanted to become one.

    You could say that my curiosity about space stuff has led me to this kind of stuff that I truly didn't expect to happen. So one day, while I was stationed in my office cubicle trying to work on tiring office stuff, I decided to visit a forum that talks about the space stuff to unwind myself and possibly join by typing my insights on threads that I found worthy. While browsing on the forum, I noticed a single thread that many people have flocked into and it is unusual because the discussion about the space subjects in every thread, aside from long threads, would typically last for 10 or 14 comments depending on how passionate the users are.

    So I decided to click on the thread to see what the hell is going on and I…I have stumbled upon something that shouldn't have happened that led the FBI to investigate me because many believed that I hacked into NASA servers and leaked those photos for fun. Yeah, for fun. Bullshit. That is all I have to say.

    [So what happens next after you click on that thread?]

    You know the typical things of what the forum users would do: shock at seeing those photos showing the pristine Greek-like…or Roman-like ruins in an area of the Moon that many, inaccurately, called the "Dark Side of the Moon" and typing in usual comments such as jokes that sarcastically confirms that aliens are real or asking the original poster of where did they get those photos from. In this case, I chose the latter route by sending a private message to a user who has posted the photos by asking "Where did you get these photos from?" type of question.

    It took less than a single week for the user to finally answer my private message that I sent by sending an invite link to a Signal chatroom and having a little chat over the photos they've posted and some other things. During the discussion that we had, and one that I didn't expect, the user in question was a staff member working at the Chinese National Space Agency and knew those photos. The user directly said to me that every space agency across the world was stumped at what they were seeing, in which they added that the reason why these photos existed was because NASA had silently launched a Moon probe into that location as part of a recon-type mission to determine the possibility of a location where it could perfectly land a landing probe in the future. When they took those photos and analyzed them over and over again, you could imagine the shock of the people who are working at NASA after seeing the impossibility of all impossibility. My only reaction to the information that the user gave to me was a resounding silence; because I was shocked that those ruins existed and shocked that they could be part of an ancient civilization that humanity hadn't known about, which became a reality when Magical Girls came out of the woodwork.

    [So how do you feel, when all things considered, that the rediscovery of the ruins that are purported to be the ruins of a long-gone civilization have suddenly led to the reintroduction of Magic and the events that surround it?]

    I'll gonna honest with you, and everyone who is watching this documentary; if I had known that Magic existed in the first place and not hiding within the shadows, then the world wouldn't experience countless wars and bad cases of balkanization, countless cases of Magical Rampage Incidents, the threat of political extremism that had utilized those who have Magic either willfully or not, and Nighters prowling in the countryside across the world and targeting people as if they were a souped-up Vietcong and many other things. But hey, at least the Magical Girls managed at least to help us fight climate change from happening, or simply softened its effects to bearable levels I would say.

    But at the time before all the shit happened, I simply wanted to spread these photos that we had on our hands and tell the general public to know that these things exist. It took me weeks to find a reliable news source for the photos to be posted all across the internet for people to see.

    I have no regrets about doing it, but I just wished that those things wouldn't exist in the first place. Not because of my personal opinion about Magic or Magical Girls; but I felt that those things simply worsened everything that this planet experienced at the time. And I think everyone who had lived before the Age of Magic would have agreed with this view I had.

    [1] - Some technological things that should have happened in OTL 2022 and 2023 takes place much earlier in this TL due to either economic crisis due to the COVID-19 Pandemic that is worsened by an early spread of Omicron Variant in the Spring (which meant that, due to continued lockdowns, had allowed devs to constantly work on their products while at home) or minor PODs that happened.

    One of the examples for this change is Elon Musk buying Twitter much earlier (hence the presence of unbanned Alex Jones in this chapter); but Elon opted not to change the name of Twitter into an bland name of X partly because of familiar branding…and partly because of him not wanting to give his critics an ammunition to his anti-Trans screed by deadnaming the name of the site (this actually happened in OTL, by the way).

    • Vanessa McCoy (Twitter); June 9, 2021

    "Today I am gonna give you a brief commentary of what happened yesterday in a hospital in the city of Boston that killed 36 people in its wake and had…shaken the country since J6th happened. Yes, what happened yesterday is a horrible one considering what the armed group known as the Divine Army USA did and it was revolting for all of us, and yes - and I mean it - is that I support what the mysterious individual that media and people in the street call as the "Woman in White" did to rescue those hostage without any bloodshed and managed to end the crisis as quick as possible.

    But let me tell you something dear viewers; yes, I acknowledge that what Divine Army USA did yesterday was very wrong, but let us not forget the reason why they instigated the hostage crisis in the first place is because of the insistence of the Massachusetts State Government to force every person to go out and vaccinate. The reason for this is that they wanted to stop the so-called Omicron Surge that has been allegedly spreading across the country for the past few months! Why those in power are crying right now when they aren't doing anything when Omicron came out last mid-March and now they're in a rush to stop it because, let us be honest, the anti-COVID lockdown protocols aren't working anymore now that the so-called globalized economy is suffering turmoil and a supply shortage at the same time and many people wanted to go back to normal life at this point. Heck, their insistence of anti-COVID restrictions is also hurting their base and some of them are speaking out to lift it right now in some parts of the social media. What the hell is the Biden Administration doing right now about the issue the ordinary Americans are facing at this moment???

    As for the mysterious "Woman in White"...[sigh] I am gonna say this out loud right now. I very much agree with what you did yesterday to rescue those hostages and I applaud you for it. I applaud you with a genuine sense of respect. But…it could set off a bad precedent where any moment notice that the "Woman in White" could flaunt the laws of this land and it could make the government of this country irrelevant now that the so-called superheroes are real. But it's not. This is real life and I think everyone knows the consequences of doing it in the real world and not some kind of a fantasy world that is written in the comic books…

    • A thread in Anime News Network forums; June 22, 2021


    [1] - Due to the early appearance of the Omicron Variant, whatever plan of lifting anti-COVID requirements such as mandating the wearing of face masks they have as it was in OTL in the timeframe that this TL is taking place in some nations was mostly scrapped as a result. This resulted in an upsurge of anti-lockdown and anti-vax sentiments now that some liberals are beginning to take part in those movements that they formerly hated because of increasing economic turmoil such as high prices and supply shortages (though, they mostly gravitated to the former movement instead).


    [2] - One of the major PODs in this TL is that Pres. Joe Biden, instead of an quick withdrawal of American and other foreign troops just like in OTL, opted to utilize the phased withdrawal that Trump Administration favored (after finding it out from an AH.com user who had an family member working in CENTCOM and had knowledge in the withdrawal) alongside pressuring Taliban into abiding the peace and increase air strikes in the country (mostly IS-KP cells and "rogue" Taliban cells).

    Except that the Taliban still launched an offensive as it was in OTL, but with more speed that allowed them to capture nearly the entirety of southwest and some parts of the north; which was worsened when Ashraf Ghani was suddenly assassinated by an IS-KP last May. This resulted in a power struggle that ended in the establishment of an military junta led by Yasin Zin and more American airstrikes that are now targeting the Taliban forces as a way to forcefully abide by the peace treaty once again. Strangely enough, despite punitive airstrikes, Taliban opted not to assault on U.S bases they've encircled (esp. those in the southwest) and instead characterize increased American airstrikes launched against them as a work to clear out their "rogue cells" and IS-KP cells who are reinvigorated to the perceived weakening of Afghanistan (privately, Taliban really don't want for huge number of Americans to return back to Afghanistan if they kill one of them within their bases the Americans are currently in control...Oops, foreshadowing).

    [3] - The initial build-up of Russian forces near Ukraine (from March 3 to April 30, 2021) still happens ITTL…but Donbass Separatists saw the build up as an opportunity to weaken Ukrainian defenses before Russia decided to renew their build-up of forces again in the next few months.


    [4] - A minor POD for this TL. Let just say that Belgium's "Royal Question" went wrong and resulted in a bloody civil war that ended in an division between pro-Royalist North Belgium and pro-Socialist/Republican Free Wallonia Republic…in exchange for both of them giving NATO membership and purging pro-Soviet elements within the Free Wallonia Republic to ensure that CIA won't gonna overthrow them any time soon because Commies (in which the FWR did). Currently, both of the nations are still pissed off with each other and they kinda have a dispute (esp. over the control of Brussels) that sparked various military build-ups and continuing Troubles-like conflict as a result.


    [5] - Remember the note on the first chapter, in which some of the technological events that happened in 2022 and 2023 have happened early ITTL due to the tech industry being hot right now in the global stocks despite the ongoing economic turmoil and the continued lockdown kinda increased their focus on further improving the products; the AI industry is one of them.

    The Royal Question is actually an real event, and it involves an actual attempt by Wallonian people to secede if the Belgian King, accused of collaborating with the Nazis after Belgium got invaded, didn't step down immediately in favor of his son; something that he actually he did at the end.

    In this TL, the Belgian King resisted any efforts to step down that resulted in a civil war before getting stalemated due to intervention of NATO (esp. by Netherlands and France). The king stepped down though, but that's because it is part of an peace agreement that ended hostilities between the now divided North Belgium and Wallonia in exchange of having both of them to be part of NATO and giving Wallonia a chance to purge pro-Soviet groups within their government (after all, Wallonia was an hotbed of socialist ideas at the time that was grown due to the Nazi occupation).

    Wait a second. That event took place in 1946-1950. An entire country was split apart for half a century and history would barely change? That is very odd how history managed to stay the same despite Belgium, a Western European country, fell in a civil war with few historic butterflies.

    Yeah, the world in this TL managed to stay on course until early Omicron appearance and a worst January 6th Insurrection hits; aside from few instances such as the very existence of Etheria (which will expand their information about them in the upcoming literary interlude after Chapter 4 in this TL).
     
    Setting the actual divergence from the events that the timeline started from is a unique choice. What's you reasons for doing it?

    Mostly because a narrative choice (esp. to the origins and the first welders of Magical Powers) and it is an reboot of an old TL (which featured events of divergence in the opening that is too similar to an 2020: SF chapter that detailing the events that happened between mid-2023 to early-2024. And I hate it).

    Chapter 3 - Strange Things That Happened...

    • Chapter 3: Strange Things That Happen…​

    Imagine yourself floating as if you are in the middle of an ocean. As you slowly close your eyes while your face is looking up in the sky, you could feel the heartbeat but not as your own, but to many people who speak with their heartbeats about the current thought they have from being happy, to being scared. And once you slowly open your eyes, you feel the passion of wanting to save them from an uncertain fate that could befell them.

    Basically, that's what I did for the past few decades of me floating not on the ocean, but to the higher skies in between the skies of planet Earth and the distant skies that the Humanity called space ever since I got these powers of mine. Powers that I believed to be the only thing that partly saves the humanity as a whole, but to keep the eternal balance no matter how straining it is when Humanity faced countless wars, famine, natural disasters, and general hatred to each other, something that was worsened when Magical Girls suddenly came out of nowhere after I decided to go down on Earth and saved those hostage that were in the process of being killed by fanatics in Boston.

    In Boston. [Sigh] I could still remember that event, isn't it?

    But the reality is that, for the past few decades, I haven't mostly used my powers for good of the planet and instead I kept mostly floating in the middle between sky and space aside from me witnessing several events that the Humanity on the planet has made from the vantage point: such as American dropping two nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the first human in space, the saga of moon landing missions, and the creation of International Space Station. Well, if you include some things that I made in the ground such as helping this young warrior fighting to free Etheria from French overlords and I am not always floating above as I had my own personal life here on this planet that…that…I would rather speak about that later on, because remembering it makes me feel of why I became Woman in White at the first place, and the people who adored me as a superhero that the planet needs will be shocked when I show my true appearance on live television. I simply, simply hated that.

    But back to the point, I wasn't ready to become Woman in White as I was today. The only thing I felt when someone gave me this power was embarrassment and a feeling that even with this powerful power I have, I still felt empty after all I faced in my entire life before I became the one. So I simply floated above, thinking of what am I going to do with the powers you have and still feeling the heartbeats of every person that I wanted to save. It kept me that way for the past few decades until a thundering sound came right through me.

    A sound of innocent civilians that were slowly getting executed by fanatics who believe that simple precaution is the threat to freedom of all humanity.

    Not taking any chances. Not wanting to become an apathetic person after seeing the horrible events that happened on the planet for the past few decades. And the whispers of the Higher One telling me that since someone rediscovered their Homeland on the Moon, that the Prophecy of Return will finally be real and the magic that once existed on the Moon will be returning in what they've called "Forbidden Land" known as Earth. So I did what Superman does in the comics, I zoomed myself towards the place where the scream is coming from.

    I arrived in Boston and saw a crisis that was happening in a hospital that was taken over by a group of fanatics alongside the trapped civilians that they used as hostages, and executed when their demands didn't meet. Well, I wasn't greeted by the people who were shocked that not only that "superheroes are real now" or "look! A female superhero is coming to save them!" type of reaction or causing a jaw drop when saw the supposedly fictional character becoming real. No, that's not what really happened that day. What really happened is that I simply flew straight towards the hospital and I did what I could charitably call it as an intense fight between me and those agitated fanatics who are willing to kill everyone that didn't bend to their narrowed views, especially to those hostages that were completely scared because, in the eyes of the fanatics, have committed an unspeakable act of sin by helping people getting through COVID and vaccinating those that aren't. I immediately fled afterwards when I completed my act not because I was adverse to media attention or not wanting to inflame people's perceptions at the time when Magical Girls started, but because it was bloody in subduing those fanatics. So bloody that my iconic long, white dress that I wore is fully covered with the guts of the fanatics I killed because I was so angry at them killing innocent people without remorse or care.

    But at the same time, that's where I realize that I have a duty to commit to the people and to this world at the moment Magical Girls started to come out to the shadows and they need some figure of inspiration to motivate them into doing their job they liked. I suddenly realized that thought when I cleared those fanatics and rescued those people at the time because of the memory I have. A bad memory. A bad memory about the First Day that I wished that I...shouldn't be there.

    Yet, I didn't have to regret that moment that I faced in the past and instead I remember a motto that I made up. To remind you that you and I are not different when it comes to things like I did in Boston and other places that I've gone to. It was a recent one, but it was so very memorable that it fully reminded many that, while there are differences in our skill sets and our heroics, the goals still remain the same in the end.

    "[Kneeling] Your Majesty, why do you call me in the time when our nation is facing a great enemy that is approaching near to our border, something that I made a vow to avenge those deaths of our people that those monsters made, Queen Mirna?

    I hear that you've launched a military operation against the Daesh without my permission, am I correct, High Advisor Lamine?

    [Stands up] Yes…yes that I have launched an operation without your official authorization from your throne. I apologize for that particular mishap, Your Majesty and it won't happen again in the future. But the problem-

    Problem?

    The problem is, Your Majesty. Is that Daesh is just one step away from stepping in our lands and could unleash chaos like the days when the monstrous GIA trespassed our nation and our people brutally witnessed them committing those atrocities that were never seen since the French burned and poisoned our lands and killed our people by the tenfold! I have witnessed our neighboring nations of Mali and Niger slowly collapsing by the monstrous march of Daesh, one-by-one, in the last few months. As a matter of important fact, Your Majesty, I witnessed an nearby Nigerien city of Assamaka, a city full of desperate refugees trying march into our nation without food, water, or their belongings, violently fell without a fight two months ago and could have marched towards our border if it wasn't for you ordering me to to bribe the local Berber militias to fight back with such ferocity that the Daesh was forced to get stalemated as a result. I understand that you have a deep concern about our current status of our country that has recently came out from our isolationist period thanks to the dying last order spoken by the Great Liberator and Savior, Queen Adora, thanks to the troubling circumstances that had befell the world since the collapse of the USSR and the concerns that-

    Alright, alright, High Advisor Lamine. I know all the problems that I inherited when the Great Liberator gave me the crowd that she wore and made a vow to continue observing the world from this little place our people called it home, without ever going back to the shadows that the Great Liberator herself instituted when the sweet taste of our victory from the French decades ago have turned bitter in the end. I understand that the whole world will look towards us when they somehow discover the greatest marvels that we built in our hands since our independence and they will exploit to feed the already tired and broken society, and I understand that today's threats like climate change, COVID Pandemic, political polarization and an economic turmoil that could break this world at any moment now. What I want to ask that every one of my people wants to know is: is Etheria ready to become a great power on its own? Perhaps you could answer this question since you, like every other High Advisor before you, knows how the outside world works.

    Your Majesty, I think…the answer will be a complicated one. I understand that in this today's world that the great powers that exist outside of this country is slowly experiencing some sort of issues that could make it or break it in the end: Russia is desperate to relive the glory days of the USSR and they are antagonizing every nations that the USSR once part of by manipulation or direct annexation, China has seen its attempts to become an global power to start showing its cracks as their continued hostile engagements in their disputes with neighbouring countries, botched attempt to transition from an industrial economy into an service-related economy, Premier Xi Jinping's creeping authoritarianism, and the fact that the COVID Pandemic started right in their homeland, and of course, the United States of America is facing an uncertain time as they try to fan the dying flames of their involvement of Afghanistan by attempting to give their enemy some-sort of an binding peace agreement, the beginning of American Troubles, creeping authoritarianism of the Republican Party thanks to former Pres. Donald Trump and his rabid supporters, and many other things that are too long to reveal here. The point is, Your Majesty, that Etheria could become one of them in the future…if we could play the right cards and have the right friends like Wallonia on our side. This is why I decided to show to the world that Etheria would not stand to the chaos that is happening down in the Sahel Region and would not be budged from the days we once still lived in the shadows, even if I did without the authorization of yours. I apologize for what I did, Queen Mirna.

    [Sigh] No need to apologize to me, High Advisor, I kinda understand why you decided to act without my words. Rules supposed to be simple, but in a world like this? There is no such option but to do what needs to be done. High Advisor Lamine, you may return to your job while I will observe our military along with this nation's esteemed officers and will be having a meeting with the Princesses of Etheria in the next couple of hours to discuss to the conflict in the Sahel Region that has ravaged for quite a while now and to discuss the future of our state.

    You are dismissed.

    [Kneels, then standing up again and bows at her] Understood, Queen Mirna. Glory to the Grayskull.

    Glory to the Grayskull, High Advisor.

    …

    [Sigh] I could have wished the Great Liberator was still here, if it wasn't for those damned Algerians that destroyed her dreams."

    "Recently, I have read a letter given to me from a father from Arkansas about the concerns of his daughter that has shown some sort of magical powers. According to this letter quoted that his daughter was wastefully playing water from their home to make shapes in the air or suddenly making water with her hands to garden the plants that his family is tending to; then all of the sudden, while taking her to an fishing trip which was an favorite of his, her daughter suddenly deciding to play with water by lifting every water up to the air before crashing back down to the ground, and unquote. What does the letter mean, viewers? This means that the things you always see in the comic books like playing with fire or water with your hands, managing to bend steel, fly up to the sky and even wearing ridiculous costumes, are becoming real on this planet. And it is concerning to all of us. For all the countless videos that I have seen about the so-called "Magical Girl Phenomenon" like this young female suddenly can fly like a plane from Turkey, or the shock on their faces that their ordinary clothes can be transformed into something magical by just closing their eyes instantly, I could only say that this powers that is currently spreading right now across the globe, can be used for nefarious purposes. And it can be destructive if one gives those powers to a person who has mental issues right now."

    [1] - Spillover Incident is an event that heralded the end of the Isolation Period that was imposed throughout Etheria by late Queen Adora in the aftermath of the Etherian War (which was intertwined with the Algerian War) due to increasing hostilities between them and Algeria over several things (esp. the expulsion of Pied-Noirs and Harkis living within Algeria and wanting to force Etheria to expel the Lesgens-Lune (Moon People, named after Etheria's current capital, Bright Moon) - or French people living within Etheria).

    The event in question takes place in 1997 when several cells of GIA, in the eve of Algerian Civil War, illegally entered into Etheria and established several bases until a small Etherian village nearby to one of their bases was mercilessly massacred for being "heathens". This resulted in a 6-month military operation that ended in the deaths of 210+ GIA militants, 162 Etherian troops, and 300+ Etherian civilians and a wake-up call for Etheria that their isolationist policies won't help them in the long run now that Cold War has ended and the threats of destabilization in the Sahel Region could threaten their nation in the future (which…it did happen, unfortunately enough).

    Of note, the event was the last thing that was overseen by late Queen Adora and she was so haunted by the tragedy that at the time before she died the next year after the event took place that her last words, as told to some foreign diplomats who visited her deathbed, are: "I just kinda wished that the Algerians understood us on why we are doing this for the sake of stopping the bloodshed that has completely run it course towards mindless revanchism. Something that my people couldn't stomach for any longer."


    [2] - One of the unfortunate effects of "Royal Question" gone wrong is that North Belgium, partly due to peace treaty and partly wanting to recoup the economic losses after the loss of Wallonia Region, was that it managed to maintain its stranglehold of Belgium Congo, later renamed to Congo Commonwealth after North Belgium deciding to give them self-governance (inspired from the Commonwealth nations) in the aftermath of the Congo Crisis that still happens ITTL.

    Because of relative stability and preventing Mobutu from gaining power thanks to an convenient assassination by an pro-Wallonia terrorist, the bloody First and Congo Wars were mostly butterflied away; with North Belgium and the Congo Commonwealth intervening the Rwandan Civil War, an event that was mostly considered as one of the inciting factor of the Second Congo War, in 1992 on the side of Rwandan Patriotic Front rebels and prevented Rwandan Genocide from happening after Etheria (through an third-party nation of Germany) casually leaks plans and tapes of some French officials talking about supplying Interahamwe which was planning to start an genocidal campaign against the Tutsis, sparking major outrage across the world (something that France was accused of doing it in OTL).

    But despite the divergences, however, in the ground things aren't as rosy now that the discovery of rare earth minerals in eastern part of the nation saw tensions brewing and even some cases of unrest, rising presence of ethnic militias such as Kivu, Ituri, Hutu (caused by sheer revanchism against the Congo Commonwealth and North Belgium for intervening against them), IS-CAP (yes, there is an Muslim community in the Congo), and Tutsis under the banner of M23 Movement (caused by Rwanda being pissed off towards Congo Commonwealth and North Belgium for its betrayal of not persecuting the Hutu figures who were allegedly planning to enact an genocidal campaign against the Tutsis, something that North Belgium accused Wallonia and Etheria persuading Rwanda to fund the armed group), economic problems stemming from risks of investments caused by simmering insurgencies in the east, widespread corruption and general lack of care by their nominal overlord of North Belgium whom they began to see as an future dumping ground for deported refugees that the increasingly right-wing North Belgian government wanted to do in the future.

    Overall, the Congo (or Congo Commonwealth) managed to spare the worst events that have happened in the OTL…while building tensions inside that could turn for the worse if circumstances of the current problems didn't stop.



    [3] - K.Chan, or Kyubey.Chan as it was officially called, is an social media site tailor made for magical girls…and can be only accessible if they are an magical girl in real life through a technique that is considered by any as an work of an magi-tech based programming that is undecipherable to non-empowered computer engineers and coders at the time.

    The name of the site came from a certain entity that gives powers to an magical girls in an anime show that is beloved by many (if you are an non-empowered persons) or having an mixed opinions over the portrayal (if you are an magical girl) known as Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Yes, the users understood the irony of naming the site from an entity who acts like a typical recruiter of the United States Armed Forces.

    "There has been a massive increase of bullying incidents directed against young girls over the past few days. As well as a rise in the hospitalization of their bullies." seems like a better quote grammatically.

    So has magic been gone for a while, and only just returning? Or has it been a thing forever, just now suddenly popping in the open. Because a month seems like a very short time for someone to whip up a social media website just for Magical Girls, or to do so using magi-tech coding no one has ever seen before?

    Also, if I receive a "Draft letter" from an organization I have never heard before and can't look up on an easy to access public wiki or library, fuck em, letter in the trash.

    Yeah. With the presence of internet and fictional works, the world is in for a shock that they couldn't handle the various crisis that the world is facing ITTL. As a matter of fact, the return of magic should have been slower if it wasn't for the internet itself.

    Yeah, there has been a oversight of grammar issues. I'll gonna fix it up when new chapter drops.

    Well, ShockedPikachuFace.jpg

    K.Chan exists before the TL began (and it had an different name before Magical Girl Community decided to rename it as Kyubey as an ironic appreciation to the PMMM that has gained an mixed reception by those at the community). Also, magical powers didn't actually disappear, it was just reduced to the point of calling magical powers a work of fiction by the muggles; as a matter of fact, the only population that have openly have magical powers are those who are living in Etheria, and the only most powerful entity that still exist at the time before the Age of Return is Woman in White herself. Hence, in the world of ITTL, many newer Magical Girls in later time would like to call the return of magic as more of an "reappearance" than an "return".

    Also trashing the draft letter would result in an instant death sentence as part of the terms of the Salem Accord, which more of an ceasefire agreement and more appeasement of giving those Magical Girls (or witches, at the time of American Revolution) a chance to fight for the American Revolution before their public records were wiped out as part of keeping the masquerade shut. And they will track you down no matter if you are hiding in any parts of the world - even North Korea.

    • Hello everyone, I have some important news to share.

    I'm gonna put this TL in hold for a while due to the upcoming semestrial exams that took away my focus on writing this TL of mine. Plus I have to rework Chapter 3 (namely the opening excerpts featuring the main character which was cut due to partly time constraints and partly wanting to be part of an upcoming Interstitial portions of this TL that I changed my mind about) and had to restart writing for Chapter 4 due to some things that I found confusing.

    Don't worry, when semestrial exams come to an end and fixes on my TL are done, the update will back to normal (albeit in an intermittent fashion).

    • Very curious to hear more about the social upheaval, especially regarding gender politics, if it's revealed that powers can only manifest in women (assuming "Magical Girl" is very literal).

    Could be very influential for trans rights too, if transwomen are included or excluded from receiving powers. (Sounds like it might be the former.)

    There will be in future chapters after the first Interstitial in this TL, since the events in first three chapters where their presence are begininng to be felt which later culminated in the penultimate event that was teased in last headlines of the third chapter.

    Yeah, there will be social upheaval ITTL...in an Suprising Realistic Outcome way. And yes, either transwomen or trans men (yes, trans men, consider this statement as Word of God) can become a Magical Girl. Though, not all of the women around the world is an Magical Girl as the total rate of population of Magical Girls - if one using the total female population of the whole world - since the appearance are currently clocked at 40%...and it will increased until it reached the limit of 60%.

    Well, that is dystopian as fuck. Also seems like something easier to enforce when only a small fraction of people have magic, instead of a good sized chunk of the population.

    Yeah. Though, with 40% of total female population in the United States suddenly becoming Magical Girls (and will increase until it reaches to 60%, same as the number of total female population in the planet), having a tumor known as Afghanistan and concerns over the shenanigans that the Magical Girls did in the first months after the "reappearance", the draft will be finally expanded to them...and the result would not be an nice one in the end.

    Liike, my nice ending for this is the people responsible for enforcing this "draft" getting yeeted from existence by most of the population. Like, not even thinking about the Magical Girls, the parents and families of those involved are likely going to raise a massive stink about, with the the level of ire proportionate to weather or not the Accords give a shit about if the target is 18 or not. Like, if a 13-year old gets a draft letter, I imagine heads will begin to roll.

    Like, thinking about it, but the "Salem Accords" as a thing, are a nice device that basically can not last beyond the immediate situation they were conceived in. At some point, someone important was gonna get slapped by this, and would have enough weight to slap back at the people involved, either in influence or funding.

    Edit: Getting off my chest, the main problem I have with this timeline is that, for a timeline about Magical Girls suddenly appearing in the real world, there seems to be a whole lot of backstory involved that I don't know about. Usually, in a timeline like this, I can assume that there was nothing overall massively different about the past before the TL started. Here, just within the comments mind you, I find out that magic has been a thing forever, and also there is an entire nation/world called Etheria with magic, and that the Women in White was around before the POD? It kind of leaves me not caring about the overall events of the timeline, because it feels like you can just throw anything you want into the timeline with the excuse of unknown backstory.
