Nice omake, otherwise, except than I'm pretty sure that we haven't left our magical girl form.

... Where is Homoura in all this? Will we come back home at some point only to find that everything has been reset to a month before the MG Reveal? Because this whole PMMM AU seems to be really similar to what Planeswalker!Homoura came back to recently in that other quest (whose name I can't remember, but our first destination was Remnant of RWBY...), and I think that world was called a write-off due to the whole situation becoming too chaotic to deal with.

Thats already been answered. Look a few pages back. Its 4 years after the 'destruction of Mitakihara'. According to the OP both Homura and Madoka seem to be 'not dead' to some extent. He was kind of lacking on the specifics.

while we don't know for certain what we do know isn't good.
implies that Homura witched out.
but at least we can possibly save them.
There is not much a dedicated Planeswalker with enough resources can't do.
This said I do not expect it to be easy.

Become the Eldritch Abomination. And it's similar because, as the first post outright says, this is very much based on it.

Huh...well that kind of adds the possibility that planeshomu may have just up and taken Madoka somewhere...or some plane.

I noticed people freaking out about Planeswalkisnacht, so I figure I should weigh in and point out that it doesn't actually have access to a Planeswalker; it has a Mage. This is all but explicitly spelled out.
If anyone's confused, I'll summarize:
Kyuubey examined our soul, post 'awakening', while we were 'just' a Mage, and it noticed some weird stuff, the weird stuff being Mana. Then, during the examination, the Spark ignited and tossed the Incubator out, so it has no idea what was up with the Spark and doesn't even know Planeswalking exists, but had some ideas about Mana from the examination prior to our ignition.
It couldn't figure anything more out from us, because we left, and it doesn't know how we made our exit.
Then, trying to find out more about Mana, it tried to cause people to become Mages, with extraordinary success, considering the difficulty of the task and the rarity of those who have the ability. One individual, with an affinity to Black Mana (who was not a Planeswalker) awakened and subsequently Witched out. This individual was added to Walpurgisnacht, because Kyuubey is an asshole, making Walpurgisnacht so much worse.
Planeswalkers are stupidly rare, and we don't have to worry about Walpy leaving the Plane. We just have to worry about everyone stuck in the plane with her.
Anyway, the difference between us and a newbie Mage is pretty significant, so if it was just a Mage, we'd not have much trouble. Unfortunately, Walpy is formidable all on her lonesome, so adding a Mage to the mix is a serious threat to us, and not something I'd be happy fighting right now.
It would be scary, were it not for the Planeswalker's Privilege; the ability to stay in another universe until you're powerful enough to come back and immolate everything that once posed a threat.

So, thinking more about situation in PMMM verse... Mana can be generated and harvested via purely mechanical means - there are tons of examples in MtG canon. If anything, Kyuubey discovering it is a good thing, both for humanity and the universe. Well, unless Kyuubey subscribes to "annihilate everything that I don't need" philosophy. It's not sadistic, at least as I see it, only deriving pleasure from torturing little girls in the sense that said torture generates energy. If energy can be generated more efficiently by purely mechanical means... It is likely to prefer those.
I am also appalled by its scientific methodology. Like, it's atrocious.
Oh, and as for Earth 103 - it's a universe spanning nomenclature. "Earth" might simply be the generic designation of any planet it harvests magic from.
@UberJJK I quite liked this omake. Nanoha's assumptions about "years of royal training as a princess" are adorable. She'll either be a bit depressed or that much more determined to help her princess regain her throne when she learns that the Empire fell and is in ruins.

Also much more likely to want to be our friend when she gets more of an idea just how broken poor Jade is now. We just need to go find Fate and Hayate and we can make a club for depressed, mentally scarred teenagers.
I do like the idea of the next chapter having Nanohas perspective though. I think it would be interesting to see her take on Jades various magics and on Agnesyastra.

Or it could be as simple as most lifeforms naming their planet "dirt", or at least the equivalent in their language, and when the Incubators say "Earth-103" they are actually saying "[Incubator word for dirt]-103" which is translated into English as Earth.
I'm glad you liked it. I thought a little assumption like that would make perfect sense from Nanoha's perspective and was quite amusing.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how Nanoha deals with meeting a real life Magical Space Princess.

@UberJJK Thank you for the attempt to help. I really do appreciate it. 
I'd inadvertently be stepping on Solarfall's toes if I based it off BTEA; people would have trouble remembering if they're able to do something with an ability in one quest, but not in the other.
Plus, it's plain out easier to just make my own thing from scratch. When I rely on the creations of other people, it's harder to figure out what they'd do and I apparently fail pretty badly on occasion. Yes, that means writing fanfiction is often actually harder for me. I'm weird like that.
(Example: I thought I'd done an okay job with what Hayate might do after several more years alone and without magic, but I apparently goofed and some people think I rendered her unrecognizable.)
EDIT: Incidentally, I'm not sure why people are so worried about returning to Earth-PMMM now. Since a bunch of people already figured this out: you already fought some of Kyubey's experimental subjects. That's why the hunt was so incredibly easy; he preferred quantity over quality.
Inspired by, not based off. There's a difference.

In MTG, one in every one trillion people end up becoming a Planeswalker. Generally, they are thrust from their home plane immediately upon Ignition; this quest was an exception in that Kyubey still had a grip on your soul and really didn't want to let go. Thanks to what he was doing, he didn't have to.
Planeswalker sparks are awakened by a sufficiently traumatic/life-threatening scenario. Given as there will shortly be an awful lot of those flying around, a vote is necessary.
No matter what option is chosen, you'd still have to intentionally help the Incubators in order for them to access the other planes. (Unless a write-in suggestion is done otherwise; I wouldn't veto that)
[] Go with the MTG statistics. Allow the existence of 'walkers other than Jade, with one out of every trillion people becoming one.
[] Make the possibility of other 'walkers even smaller, but still there. (1 in 1 quintillion)
(Warning: Above two options may invalidate my earlier promise not to have any hostile planeswalkers. At least they'd be even newer at it than her.)
[] Don't have the possibility of other 'walkers turning up.
[] Suggestion? (Subject to veto)
EDIT: To elaborate, I fully expect for the third option to be picked by a landslide, but wanted to put it out there so people don't complain about statistical inaccuracy later on.
EDIT 2: *Numbers refer to number of people who go through a sufficiently horrible event, not total numbers. It might be somewhat inaccurate (text is a little unclear), but we'd be swamped if the former were a thing.

As a quote from Rebellion, it could also imply that the Incubators are experimenting on them or that Homura grabbed Madoka and is forcibly hiding her from the Incubators.

I really don't think this quest needs something like that, its more then interesting as it is. We still haven't even traveled to more then 2 planes, having a bunch of planeswalkers going about feels like it would take away from the narrative. And i just genuinely don't want to have to deal with other planeswalkers.

Nah. The new planeswalkers, if any, would all be from the PMMM universe.

I thought that was how many people had the potential, not how many people actually ignited. The number of actual Planeswalkers is even lower.
Well, in that, case, no thanks. That'd be stupid. there's only a few billion people even there. I wouldn't mind a planeswalker or two turning up way into the quest, but you really have to keep Planeswalking as a special thing, because it's stupidly rare, and Planeswalkers that don't die first basically become gods.
[] Make the possibility of other 'walkers even smaller, but still there. (1 in 1 quintillion)
Yes. The Incubators mysteriously becoming actual plushies is more likely, and more fun.

Yup.
EDIT: Not randomly (as in, no cause), that's... How would that even happen?
I looked around and it was 1 in 1 million, with 1 in 1 million surviving their ascension. Thus, unless I've failed math forever (I blame toe-gnawing kitten causing sleep deprivation), 1 in 1 trillion people become planeswalkers.
