001 ACTION

[negotiators]

[He was beginning to wonder if this was a prank of Kaname Madoka's.]

[But it was an unlikely possibility to begin with. Madoka had saved him; Madoka, therefore, probably did not hold grudge or hatred towards him, and such emotion would obviously not manifest itself in the form of sending Kyuubey to such an absolutely ridiculous universe anyway. Pokemon? Stuck until the 'Entralink' was fixed? It would have been easier to believe if the old man had simply said "you're here because you deserve to rot in hell for betraying and deceiving us" - not that Kyuubey agreed - but this was no hell, at least according to the human definition of hell. This was more like limbo. Was he supposed to redeem himself now? Adjust to human living? Impossible. Preposterous, even, particularly in an environment where he was supposed to adhere to rules he had not encountered previously. And the lifeform he was given - was he supposed to be responsible for it? Care for it? There was no apparent purpose for doing so; better to return it whence it came. The situation was expecting too much of him. He had never attempted to grant a wish that was impossible without the power to make the impossible possible - but that seemed to be what the world was demanding of him. But more importantly, Kyuubey had been forgiven; Kyuubey had been saved.]

[So the only conclusion to be made was that this was not Madoka's work.]

[Which meant that this world operated on a different set of rules entirely, and the most logical course of action would have been to explore those rules... but in the midst of that thinking, he stumbled into his own dream.]

[A barren landscape if anything. Obviously. Incubators did not dream to begin with. It simply paralleled one he had been in countless times before. He was lying face-up on the wreckage of a fallen building, arms outstretched, staring at the apocalyptic sky.]

— a pointless change of scenery. This is still the same world, isn't it?

Homura stirred from the depths of a slumber she didn't recall falling into. Another dream, was this one finally her own?

But before she could answer that, she noticed one other person with her. Strangely familiar yet she couldn't quite determine who it was.

Until she saw what was around her. That cursed end result she had seen over and over again. She understood only three people could recognize this scenery.

"Kyubey," Homura greeted, more as a statement, not of surprise or of any real emotion, but simply just that. "I didn't realize Incubators were prone to dreaming."

She looked him up and down. "That's a new one. How quaint," the puella magi remarked, putting on a wry smile.

"A-aah!"

Suddenly, a young boy ends up entering this dream as well, in a most unorthodox fashion. Unless Kyuubey could have seen the alien holding onto him before, it just seems as if he's appearing out of nowhere, seemingly held up by nothing in the air before suddenly being let go and falling onto one of the nearly submerged piles of rubble nearby. He barely manages to hang onto it, before looking up at said alien with a look of irritation.

"Sorry, kiddo, I couldn't hold on much longer at that rate." Could Kyuubey even hear that response?

"It's fine, War-Rock, but a little warning next time?" And now he's actually getting a proper look at his surroundings.

"Eh?! Where are we now?!"

OH LOOK ITS YUUMA

[kattobingu_ore]

"Hehhhhh..." What kind of place has he wound up in now..?

He woke up with a jolt after one dream, tried to fall asleep again...

"AAAAAH- No way..! I'm stuck in someone's head again..!!" Because he's never seen anything here, so why would he be dreaming about it..!?
