"This time... It will be different!"

The voice of a young girl was accompanied by the audience's silence. Complex emotions, empathy topping them all, appeared within their minds. Seeing her determined expression reminiscent of her final goodbye, they could not say something for a while.

"You can do it!!!"

It was unknown who started it, but the bullet comments are filled with encouraging words. Miraculously, they reached her.... in a form of the power enhancement, that is.

"W-what is this..?"

While mumbling her amazement, dozens of skyscrapers launched in her direction. These were followed by a swath of black fireflies. The combined attack of two final bosses threatened her very safety. Still, she remained optimistic.

Hum.

Before they could hit her, everything turned into motes of pink light. It is similar to the pillar of pink light in the past, just that she could now utilize this power to do her bidding.

The two villains realized the severity of her strength and decided to team up for good. 

Rumble-!

Crack-!

Pssst-!

Hundreds of buildings were instantly uprooted by Walpurgisnacht while a bizarre darkness followed behind them. They have the power to induce the dark emotions hidden deep inside a person's heart. As a result, Madoka was reminded of those sufferings once more.

Immediately, it turned her mood for the worse. She became sad at the thought of every single bad experience that the unfortunate ones had to face. However, she did not despair. Rather, she is thankful that such a sight has been resolved by her teacher.

"It should not repeat."

A wooden bow materialized in her hand. Then, she proficiently drew its strings. A pink arrow soon appeared before heading toward the attacks. The audience who is currently watching from the screen does not know, but everyone in the birdcage felt it. That arrow... it contains the hope of countless young girls.

Boom-!

Unsurprisingly, it easily pierced through everything and turned them into nothingness. The aftershocks even reached the two villains and injured them.

"Mamika-chan. Can you help me?"

"Y-yes!"

Resisting the overwhelming feeling of admiration, Mamika acted like a kouhai following her senpai. This dynamic of theirs existed ever since the two shared a common point—being a magical girl—which is why they became closer ever since a few months ago.

A large heart-shaped attack began forming on top of Mamika. Its growth speed is extremely fast, surpassing what she could use back then. Naturally, it is the result of her revision, [Protector of Smiles]. Simply put, it empowers Mamika the more smiles there are around here. Since this world is an extraordinary one, this was amplified even further. Millions, if not billions, possess their happiness. With such a huge number, it is impossible to not be strong.

Adversely, this meant that there had to be "something" that is threatening those "smiles". If not, she could not use it. This revision and another one were made as it matches Mamika's traits and story best.

"Magical..."

'Just like her. I want to protect those smiles without fail!'

"...Splash Flare!"

The huge heart-shaped attack descended on their adversaries. Madoka's attack also reached them, combining with the prior attack and making it stronger.

BOOM-!

Rumble-!

A strong earthquake was felt. The two attacks that landed upon their opponents shook a portion of the birdcage. Then again, everything was alright as it has endless space. It did not affect the other battles as well, except for the bright effects that became visible in their sights. This is another rule that they had decided upon in the conceptualization of birdcage. It would be bad if friendly fire was enabled, after all.

By the time everything died down, there was nothing left of their enemies. They had defeated them.

"""WOAHHHHHH!!!"""

Besides the excited cheering of the crowd, the two magical girls felt a sense of accomplishment. Though, Madoka handled hers extremely well that she went back to her normal self.

"This is only a hurdle, Mamika-chan. There's still that—"

Clap-! Clap-! Clap-!

"The power of friendship is working fine, it seems. Well done."

Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared mid-air.

"The one who protects humans' smiles... and the savior of the fallen. Truly, a peculiar pair." The woman, Altair, spoke with confidence. 

She exuded an aura of insurmountable confidence from the way she is acting. It's as if she's telling them that "no matter what they do, I will win." This characteristic of hers is what Meteora leveraged to make this birdcage operation possible.

"But, reality does not work like this. There are some instances where... you reach a bad ending."

Countless blades rotated around her, forming a huge tornado made out of it. Each of them launched towards the two.

Bam-!

Sou-!

Sou-!

An unprecedented feeling of coercion was felt at this moment.

*****

'Even though it is acting... I would not last at this rate.'

Bam-!

Another round of lightning chased him from behind. His enhancements which included the full refresh of his energy tank did not matter under the assaults of two creations.

'That high-spec mech and Alicetaria-san's attacks... Damn it.'

While maneuvering around, a flash of green light appeared in his sight.

Bam-!

It pushed back Unicorn in its Destroyer Mode. When everything cleared up, he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar silhouette of a mech. It has the same color scheme, yet it looks vastly different. It has a large shield with green crystals on its sides. It does not have the usual protruding cone in its back, but a huge mechanism is behind its back. It held a slender green longsword in its hand—the weapon used to slash Unicorn with.

'Kanoya-kun.'

A clear voice resounded in Kanoya's mind. There are no communication channels used in it, thus he wondered if he is hallucinating.

'You are not hallucinating. This is the result of my consciousness linking into yours.'

'W-what?'

With Shikikan's Quantum State and 00 Qan [T]'s [Quantum System], everything was exponentially amplified. The match between him and 00 Qan [T] even outclassed Setsuna F. Seiei's match solely because of his prior accomplishments related to Quantum Physics. With the technology of his world and the help of geniuses, he transcended the limits of a human in his second life.

Upgrading Exia took Shiro some effort as he had to permanently overlay its future version ten years later.

'Anyways, it's me. I have been using a voice changer before.' He said. 'Remember? We would be at your side.'

'Ah. You're the pilot!'

Kanoya understood what was going on and proceeded to cover Shikikan with a wave blast.

Bam-!

It sent Alicetaria flying away momentarily. 

'I will take care of this guy. You can proceed with that plan of yours.'

'Our plans?' Kanoya confusedly asked.

'That's right. Alicetaria is on your side from the beginning, right?'

Kanoya was surprised by this revelation. He does not know in the world Shikikan knew of their plans, sending him into a spiral of confusion.

'H-how did you know?!'

'It's not important right now. You need to proceed with it right now. Altair has appeared.'

Unexpectedly, a single comment cleared up what his next actions should be.
