SPOILER
Manka Niisen (yeah,I'm using her broken-up name here;Joubutsu won't be her name yet) was just like any normal girl in the land of taiko.
Despite being in the niisen bloodline,Manka seemed to lack the mystic powers running in her family. In fact,Manka didn't like to fight.She would rather stay in the niisens mansion and play her flute.
Boy,she sure likes playing her flute.She spent most of her time either pouring over her music books or practicing on her playing skills.Her siblings often remarked that her music sounds rather chilling, and this has puzzled her. After all,Manka was always in a good mood when she played her music.
Everything went well over the years,with Manka spending her days hanging out with her siblings or playing her flute.
Until that day…
For some reason,Manka got hit by a mysterious disease.It started with a high fever and splitting headaches,and worsened day by day,soon Manka could feel strong pains in her insides,which no painkillers could lessen.
Her parents called for the best doctors in the region,but they were unable to diagnose the disease,much less cure it.The niisens tried using their powers,but in no avail.Feeling hopeless,all they could do is to make Manka stay in bed and hope for the best.
Now Manka laid on her bed,searing pain tying knots with her insides.She tried drinking water to ease the pain,but it seemed to only make it worse.The combined effects of pain and fever must have been messing with her mind,she thought,as she saw an odd creature perched on the windowsill.
The creature looked like a small white cat,with a large fox-like tail and a pair of arm-like appendages attached to his ears.These appendages had pink tips,with a ring of red dots around it.Two golden rings hovered near the base.The oddest thing about him was his expression;he had red unblinking eyes and he always had this small smile on his face,never changing expression.That expression creeped Manka out and his staring made her uneasy,but strangely enough Manka felt like she could trust this creature.
"I see you're having trouble with this illness,right?"
"Huh?" Manka jumped a little,wincing as she felt a pang of pain.Did it just speak?Yet his mouth never moved…
"No need to look so surprised,it's just telepathy.Back to business.From what I'm seeing here,you're suffering from a brand-new illness,which can be very deadly.And so far there's no cure yet."
"Wait,how…how did you know about my illness?And why are you telling me all this?"
"Ah yes,I'll tell you why now.If I hadn't interfered now,you may be killed by the disease right now or at least after an hour or two.Fortunately,I have a way to fix that."
"What do you mean?"
"Simple,my name is Kyubey,and I have the power to cure your disease.I only ask one simple thing in return:Be a puella magi and help me fight for the good of the universe.That's not much to ask for,isn't it?"
Manka blinked in confusion at Kyubey.Puella magi?For the good of the universe?And is he really able to cure her?While her thoughts were still in turmoil,the pain in her organs suddenly became much more intense,almost overriding her senses.This is too much…
"I can cure you!Just make a wish!"
Maybe he's right,he can help me…
"I wish…to live…"
"Very well,wish granted."

First part.
Well,I guess story-writing isn't something I'm
really good at lol
I haven't read the whole thing yet but
Fucking hell crystal
Manka is exactly the name that she uses when she was with Senpuu! D:
Actually, this is the second time you'vehacked equated my imagination. The first one is when you drew Rezo to be exactly how I imagine him to be.
Okay let me clarify that up a bit... Rezo is actually a character that I've had for 2 years now. I first used him as a pseudo-self-insert to the story, but after realizing that Rezo = Red Zone, I quickly made up a chibianthro for him instead and made him one of the significant people of Shimizu. And now his excuse for staying in this world is that he's finally found his origins... lol.
In any case, let me read what you have... heheh...
EDIT:
OK I'm not reading any further OTL
EDIT2:
OK I swear if I find a way to make this work with my current timeline of events... what the hell.
By the time Senpuu got to know Manka, Manka was already dead

I recall somewhere back then that Punishment had some sort of licensing issue which is why it never made it outside the consoles. Still hoping it gets included though.
Lol
too many notes XD---
Taiko Portable DX (somehow the "DX" reminds me of an smiley...), are they also gonna to release Ura Songs? I hope they'll do ^^" But since its for the PSP, it probably won't. Hmm~~~ I need to save up money now XD
@Zekira Oh wow,I scored another confirmed (although small) WMG.
TBH,it's more like luck than anything…I had to think up
a name from her broken up song name,and this was the only one
that sounds right.
And about Manka trusting Kyubey,let's say that effing rat had this
ability to make girls trust him.
I'll write the next part soon,but I'm not sure if it's a good idea…
After all,it involved her transformation into a witch…
Wait,Manka's her name when she's with Senpuu?
Hmm,time to rethink things now

SPOILER
Part two.I'll get to her first witch-hunt in the next part,and possibly"Very well,wish granted"
Once Kyubey said those very words,Manka's pain suddenly vanished without a trace.She felt her head,no fever,no headache.She was cured!"The pain!It's gone!I'm healthy again!",Manka squealed in happiness,then swept Kyubey up to give him a hug.
Kyubey allowed Manka to hug him for a moment,then he wriggled out and landed on Manka's bed.Sitting in a Sphinx-like position,Kyubey spoke again,with Manka listening eagerly,
"Now that I have cured you,that means you have accepted to be a Puella Magi.The work of a Puella Magi is simple:To fight and defeat witches."
Witches?She had never heard of anything like that..."What's a witch?",Manka wondered.
"A witch is a kind of creature that feeds on negative emotions.Although they stay in their barriers,they can use familars to do their bidding."
"They sound pretty strong…I'm afraid I cannot defeat them…after all,I'm not really the type to fight…"
"No need to worry about that,Manka,"Kyubey said reassuringly,"I can sense the potential in you.Open your left hand."
Manka did so,revealing a small egg-shaped gem nestling on her palm.It glowed in a mixture of orange and red,the same shade as the saffron robes monks wear.It has a golden metal base,shaped like a lotus.
Manka fingered the gem,"Kyubey,what's this?It looks pretty…"
"That's a soul gem,it gives you the power to defeat witches.You transform into a puella magi with it."
Manka gave it a few tosses.This gem houses the power she needs?But it feels so light…
"Careful with that,the gem is delicate.You should protect it as if it is your life and soul."
Manka quickly caught the gem,giving Kyubey a sheepish grin,"Sorry…"
"That's understandable,just be careful later o-"
"What the-why is my gem flashing?"
And sure it was.Instead of the usual subtle glow,the gem was flashing fiercly and more brightly.Kyubey perked up,"It just detected a witch's barrier",he hopped onto the windowsill,"Follow me!"
"Through the window?!"
"Through the window.Just follow!"
Kyubey leapt out from the window,with Manka following suit.She expected to break a few bones,but she landed easily without any injury."Wow,did I just…?"
"Being a puella magi grants you more aglility.No time to marvel,let's go!"
Following Kyubey,Manka weaved through crowds,going past the main streets and into a dark alley.As they ventured deeper into the alley,Manka could see runes scrawled on the walls.Although it was springtime,the place felt unnaturally cold.
Manka shivered,"Where are we?"
"We're nearing the boundaries of the witch's barrier.Now let's see if I can find the entrance…ah,here we are."
Kyubey stopped by the dead end of the alley,where a portal glowed,colours weaving within it.Manka's eyes widened,"Is this the entrance?"
"That's right.Ready for your first witch hunt?"
"Ready!"
Swallowing her fears,Manka followed Kyubey,stepping cautiously into the portal.
Once Kyubey said those very words,Manka's pain suddenly vanished without a trace.She felt her head,no fever,no headache.She was cured!"The pain!It's gone!I'm healthy again!",Manka squealed in happiness,then swept Kyubey up to give him a hug.

fast-forward into the battle that broke her.(although she haven't transformed into a witch by that time.Not yet)

New song then?
SPOILER
Next part,longer one this time as I included two witch fights.Once they entered the portal,their surroundings changed drastically.The dark alley was gone,replaced by a dense,dark jungle.Swaths of spider webs hung from the tall trees,which were covered in runes.
"Are we in the barrier?"Manka looked around,her fear returning. Kyubey nodded,"Yes we are,and…"He eyed the portal," another puella magi should be here by now…"
"Kyubey!Sorry to keep ya waiting!"
Another figure appeared from the portal,and waved at Kyubey.He was wearing a light set of blue-black armor,and he held a halberd with his right hand,which was protected with a gauntlet.A blue-green,trianglar gem was set on it.
That must be his soul gem,Manka thought.
"Glad to see you,Delta.Never thought you'll go witch-hunting this far from your land"
"Yeah…we're running out of witches back there.No choice,"he motioned at Manka,"And this is…?"
"Manka,the newest recruit.Care to show her the ropes?"
"Gladly.Nice to meet you,Manka.Just call me Delta,"Hoisting his halberd on his shoulders,Delta briefly shook Manka's hand,"Alright,time for work.Follow me closely,and don't panic!"
Manka nodded,then followed Delta as he made his way through the dense jungle.Distorted,screeching spiders dropped from the webs left and right,trying to claw at the two.Delta gritted his teeth and swung his weapon,cutting down the swarms of spiders.
After what seemed like hours of running through undergrowth,Kyubey called out,"The witch is up ahead,get ready!"
Delta stopped in his tracks and held his halberd tightly.In front of him was an overgrown spider,looking like as if it was made of rusty metal.Manka stared in horror,is that the witch?
"I'll deal with the witch this time,you help me fend off the familars,OK?"Wait what familars?Is he talking about the spiders they saw previously?"But how?"
"Just transform!Hold out your soul gem and let it do the rest!"
Manka held out her gem and closed her eyes,feeling energy wash over her.When the feeling was gone,she opened her eyes and found herself in a different outfit.She was wearing a set of orange robes,and a long hooded cloak fastened in place with her soul gem.In her hand was a staff tipped with an orange crystal.
"Split up!" Delta dashed forward towards the giant spider,while Manka turned at the smaller familars.She whacked the spiders with her staff as quickly as she can,but there were too many of them!"Kyubey!Help!"
"Focus,Manka!You can use magic!"
Manka focused,holding her staff out.Suddenly,a blast of energy shot out from the staff,taking out several spiders at once."I did it!" Feeling pumped,Manka fired more blasts at the swarm,stopping their advance.
Meanwhile,Delta has landed blow after blow on the witch,causing the spider to reel back,severly injured."Now it's time!" Delta started to glow blue-green,then he suddenly phased out,teleporting above the spider.Then he brought his halberd down with incredible speed,right onto the witch's head.The witch gave a loud screech,then fell down dead.
As the witch and her barrier dissipated,Delta picked up a small black object,the only object left behind.He tossed it to Manka,"Here,take this.Touch your soul gem with it."
Manka did so,and saw the black specks in her soul gem dissapear,the gem returning to its usual luster,"What just happened?"
"That's a grief seed,something a defeated witch leaves behind.You purify your soul gem with it."
Manka pocked her soul gem,and Kyubey trotted towards her,"Well done,everyone.Manka,that wasn't too tough,was it?"
"No,that was easy."
And so Manka lived a double life.By day,she stayed with the niisens as before,then she met up with Delta and Kyubey at night to go witch-hunting.
At first she only fought familars,but eventually Manka was good enough to start taking on witches.This is easy,I can handle this,she thought.
Too bad things weren't as easy as it seems…
---------------------------------------------------------------
This witch is definitely the toughest they have fought so far,Manka remarked as she and Delta faced the witch,a hulking behemoth with sharp teeth and sharper claws.They have tried striking countless blows at the beast,but it shrugged them off as if they were mere scratches.
Delta gripped his halberd tightly,"Change of plan,we're exhausting ourselves this way.Let's make this quick." He phased out,reappearing in front of the beast.As the witch lunged at him,he dashed out of the way and struck the witch on the leg.The beast roared in pain,but the halberd strike barely made a dent.Manka frantically fired blasts at the beast,but it also shrugged the wounds off.
Delta continued to attack the witch,darting all over the place as he tried to dodge the beast's claws and teeth.This was easy at first,but eventually Delta found the move more and more tiring.
Finally,fatigue chose this time to strike.Delta stopped glowing,and he stopped,exhausted,to catch his breath.
Big mistake.
Seeing its opportunity,the witch swiped one huge paw,slamming Delta against the ground.His soul gem,broken from the impact,shattered into pieces.Manka froze.This couldn't be happening…
The witch bit into Delta's ear,than raised it off the ground.
"No...don't...."
The witch swung its head sideways fiercely,shaking the lifeless body like a ragdoll.
"Stop…stop it…"
With one fluid motion,the witch sent the corpse flying,which rebounded off a pillar and flopped onto the ground.The beast then slowly stepped towards Manka…
Manka turned and ran,tears streaming from her eyes,trying to find a way out from the barrier.Must find a way out,out from all of this…fast.
Unfortunately,the beast,despite injured,was still faster.It bowled over Manka,pinning her firmly down.Claws slashed against her,one of them slashing right over her right eye.Manka felt a burning pain erupt from her eye,as if a red-hot poker was pressed on it.The right side of her vision went black;her eye was torn beyond repair.The witch raised its claws,ready to take out the other eye…
"NO!!"
Ignoring the pain and mustering all her strength,Manka shoved her staff straight up,ramming it through the witch's throat.Unable to roar,it could only stagger in pain,then it collapsed,gargling through its torn throat.
The barrier faded out,leaving behind Manka,Kyubey and the witch's grief seed.Still shaken,Manka picked up the seed and purified her soul gem with trembling hands.
"What's wrong?"Kyubey sounds concerned,but his face still had the same small smile.
"Kyubey..."
"Yes?"
"I've had enough.This is far too hard for me.I thought this would be an easy task,yet…"
Manka tried to fight back her tears,which stung her wounds,"Delta died DIED fighting that witch right there,and I would have suffered from the same fate!I was lucky not to die,but my eye…!"
She sighed,"I'm quitting."Kyubey perked up,but said nothing.
"I don't want to be a puella magi anymore.This is far too much for me.I want to be normal,to be back with my family…"
Kyubey finally spoke,"Sorry,Manka…I cannot allow you to do that."
"What?!"
"It's impossible to do so.Once you agree to become a puella magi,there is no turning back."
"You said it's going to be easy work!"
"Now now,you can't blame me for this.My only role is to form the contract and grant your wish,you're the one who chose this path,I'm afraid."
"You--!"
"I've got to go now,there's still more things to prepare.From now on,you'll have to work without another puella magi helping you.Good luck."
Kyubey padded off,leaving Manka seething with rage."He tricked me into this!And now I cannot turn back!",angry thoughts filled her head.
Finally she made up her mind.She will continue to fight witches,to hone her skills.When she is strong enough,she will take her revenge and kill that smiling bastard.
"Are we in the barrier?"Manka looked around,her fear returning. Kyubey nodded,"Yes we are,and…"He eyed the portal," another puella magi should be here by now…"
"Kyubey!Sorry to keep ya waiting!"
Another figure appeared from the portal,and waved at Kyubey.He was wearing a light set of blue-black armor,and he held a halberd with his right hand,which was protected with a gauntlet.A blue-green,trianglar gem was set on it.
That must be his soul gem,Manka thought.
"Glad to see you,Delta.Never thought you'll go witch-hunting this far from your land"
"Yeah…we're running out of witches back there.No choice,"he motioned at Manka,"And this is…?"
"Manka,the newest recruit.Care to show her the ropes?"
"Gladly.Nice to meet you,Manka.Just call me Delta,"Hoisting his halberd on his shoulders,Delta briefly shook Manka's hand,"Alright,time for work.Follow me closely,and don't panic!"
Manka nodded,then followed Delta as he made his way through the dense jungle.Distorted,screeching spiders dropped from the webs left and right,trying to claw at the two.Delta gritted his teeth and swung his weapon,cutting down the swarms of spiders.
After what seemed like hours of running through undergrowth,Kyubey called out,"The witch is up ahead,get ready!"
Delta stopped in his tracks and held his halberd tightly.In front of him was an overgrown spider,looking like as if it was made of rusty metal.Manka stared in horror,is that the witch?
"I'll deal with the witch this time,you help me fend off the familars,OK?"Wait what familars?Is he talking about the spiders they saw previously?"But how?"
"Just transform!Hold out your soul gem and let it do the rest!"
Manka held out her gem and closed her eyes,feeling energy wash over her.When the feeling was gone,she opened her eyes and found herself in a different outfit.She was wearing a set of orange robes,and a long hooded cloak fastened in place with her soul gem.In her hand was a staff tipped with an orange crystal.
"Split up!" Delta dashed forward towards the giant spider,while Manka turned at the smaller familars.She whacked the spiders with her staff as quickly as she can,but there were too many of them!"Kyubey!Help!"
"Focus,Manka!You can use magic!"
Manka focused,holding her staff out.Suddenly,a blast of energy shot out from the staff,taking out several spiders at once."I did it!" Feeling pumped,Manka fired more blasts at the swarm,stopping their advance.
Meanwhile,Delta has landed blow after blow on the witch,causing the spider to reel back,severly injured."Now it's time!" Delta started to glow blue-green,then he suddenly phased out,teleporting above the spider.Then he brought his halberd down with incredible speed,right onto the witch's head.The witch gave a loud screech,then fell down dead.
As the witch and her barrier dissipated,Delta picked up a small black object,the only object left behind.He tossed it to Manka,"Here,take this.Touch your soul gem with it."
Manka did so,and saw the black specks in her soul gem dissapear,the gem returning to its usual luster,"What just happened?"
"That's a grief seed,something a defeated witch leaves behind.You purify your soul gem with it."
Manka pocked her soul gem,and Kyubey trotted towards her,"Well done,everyone.Manka,that wasn't too tough,was it?"
"No,that was easy."
And so Manka lived a double life.By day,she stayed with the niisens as before,then she met up with Delta and Kyubey at night to go witch-hunting.
At first she only fought familars,but eventually Manka was good enough to start taking on witches.This is easy,I can handle this,she thought.
Too bad things weren't as easy as it seems…
---------------------------------------------------------------
This witch is definitely the toughest they have fought so far,Manka remarked as she and Delta faced the witch,a hulking behemoth with sharp teeth and sharper claws.They have tried striking countless blows at the beast,but it shrugged them off as if they were mere scratches.
Delta gripped his halberd tightly,"Change of plan,we're exhausting ourselves this way.Let's make this quick." He phased out,reappearing in front of the beast.As the witch lunged at him,he dashed out of the way and struck the witch on the leg.The beast roared in pain,but the halberd strike barely made a dent.Manka frantically fired blasts at the beast,but it also shrugged the wounds off.
Delta continued to attack the witch,darting all over the place as he tried to dodge the beast's claws and teeth.This was easy at first,but eventually Delta found the move more and more tiring.
Finally,fatigue chose this time to strike.Delta stopped glowing,and he stopped,exhausted,to catch his breath.
Big mistake.
Seeing its opportunity,the witch swiped one huge paw,slamming Delta against the ground.His soul gem,broken from the impact,shattered into pieces.Manka froze.This couldn't be happening…
The witch bit into Delta's ear,than raised it off the ground.
"No...don't...."
The witch swung its head sideways fiercely,shaking the lifeless body like a ragdoll.
"Stop…stop it…"
With one fluid motion,the witch sent the corpse flying,which rebounded off a pillar and flopped onto the ground.The beast then slowly stepped towards Manka…
Manka turned and ran,tears streaming from her eyes,trying to find a way out from the barrier.Must find a way out,out from all of this…fast.
Unfortunately,the beast,despite injured,was still faster.It bowled over Manka,pinning her firmly down.Claws slashed against her,one of them slashing right over her right eye.Manka felt a burning pain erupt from her eye,as if a red-hot poker was pressed on it.The right side of her vision went black;her eye was torn beyond repair.The witch raised its claws,ready to take out the other eye…
"NO!!"
Ignoring the pain and mustering all her strength,Manka shoved her staff straight up,ramming it through the witch's throat.Unable to roar,it could only stagger in pain,then it collapsed,gargling through its torn throat.
The barrier faded out,leaving behind Manka,Kyubey and the witch's grief seed.Still shaken,Manka picked up the seed and purified her soul gem with trembling hands.
"What's wrong?"Kyubey sounds concerned,but his face still had the same small smile.
"Kyubey..."
"Yes?"
"I've had enough.This is far too hard for me.I thought this would be an easy task,yet…"
Manka tried to fight back her tears,which stung her wounds,"Delta died DIED fighting that witch right there,and I would have suffered from the same fate!I was lucky not to die,but my eye…!"
She sighed,"I'm quitting."Kyubey perked up,but said nothing.
"I don't want to be a puella magi anymore.This is far too much for me.I want to be normal,to be back with my family…"
Kyubey finally spoke,"Sorry,Manka…I cannot allow you to do that."

Finally she made up her mind.She will continue to fight witches,to hone her skills.When she is strong enough,she will take her revenge and kill that smiling bastard.

SPOILER
There ya go,next part.It's pretty much the ending,as the eventsAfter the last battle,Manka rested for a week or so to get used to life with only one eye.She then returned to her witch-fighting role,acting like she had no grudge against Kyubey.Luckily,the white rat did not notice anything different,except that Manka was fighting much more aggresively,and often actively looked for witches to battle.
Kyubey was pleased,as he thought he finally can see Manka working hard to help him achieve his goals.However,he did not know that Manka had different plans…
Manka used to believe what Kyubey said about saving the universe,but her optimism soon faded out,turning into the weariness of a battle-hardened fighter.To her,witch-hunting has become a routine,merely a way to train her skills and to prevent her soul gem from getting tainted.
Meanwhile,Manka has also uncovered many horrifying details about being a puella magi,details Kyubey never revealed to her.Details such as what a soul gem really was,how witches drove people into suicide,things like that.She figured that Kyubey was deliberately hiding the truth from her,and that he shouldn't be trusted in the first place.
The same experience also took its toll on Manka's emotions.As she has seen far too much despair around her,Manka has slowly become indifferent,almost cold,towards things happening around her.Was she only trying to escape?To ignore?She didn't know,nor did she cared.To her,emotions were only a hinderance,affecting her road to her goal:To kill Kyubey and quit being a puella magi.
Every time she finished off a witch,Kyubey was always there,to congratulate her and to tell her about the next witch's information.Manka longed to kill Kyubey right away,but a part of her held her back from doing so,
"Not yet,"it said,"You're not ready."
--------------------------
Finally,she was ready.
Manka sat on a small ledge near a crumbling city wall,the usual site where she and Kyubey meet at.She was already in her puella magi outfit,and she kept her staff ready as she waited for the target to appear.
"You're quite early today,Manka,"Kyubey trotted up and hopped onto the ledge,"It may not be a good idea to work this hard though.After all,it's almost time for the arrival of Shimed-"
WHAM!
Pointing her staff at Kyubey,Manka fired a large blast of energy at him.He was thrown back against the wall behind him,with a sickening crack as his backbone broke from the hit.Kyubey fell onto the ground,dead.
Manka almost jumped with joy.She finally killed him!
…Or did she?
From the shadows on top of the wall glowed a pair of red,unblinking eyes…a pair of very familar eyes.It then revealed itself as…another Kyubey?!
The new Kyubey jumped down from his perch,and started to eat his own corpse,chewing and swallowing until nothing was left.Manka gasped in horror,"How did…but you were just…!"
"Ah yes,I haven't told you yet," Kyubey calmly gulped down the last bit of his remains,"You see,I cannot be killed.Once you kill me,another Kyubey will simply take my place."
No!This is impossible!Manka sent Kyubey flying again with a burst of magic,yet another Kyubey took its place.She tried again and again,but the bastard kept showing up…
"See what I mean?I have many reserves."
Manka ignored him,continuing to fire more blasts at any Kyubey copies showing up.
"Stop it,Manka.You'll fully corrupt your soul gem if you continue doing that."
That also fell into deaf ears.Panicking,Manka kept up her barriage of attacks.She figured that there's a limited amount of Kyubey copies,and she will mow down every single one of them.
What she didn't notice was her soul gem being tainted by specks of black.
WHAM!
"I told you it won't work,why won't you listen?"
"Shut up!"
WHAM!
What used to be black specks,turned into black splotches…
WHAM!
"That's enough,Manka."
"I said shut up!"
WHAM!
Black smoke…
WHAM!
A murky,black fog…
WHAM!
"Hey,I think you should check your gem,it's turning b-"
WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!
Pitch black.
Manka collapsed,lying face down with her eyes blanked out in grey.Her soul gem hovered above her head and disintergrated,turning into a grief seed.
A great surge of energy exploded from the seed,and out poured numerous runes,all spelling out numbers.No…a murderous mantra.
Trois Sept Cinq Six Quatre…
3 7 5 6 4…
Minna goroshi…
Kill everyone…
Flashes of the newborn witch's barrier appeared,revealing chains,blood,an incinerator,hell's fire,the omnious,mournful sound of a flute…
Finally,more runes poured out,giving the witch her name:
Joubutsu Niisen.
Observing the whole ordeal from a safe distance away,Kyubey gave a genuine smile.
Just as planned.

burn-everything-to-the-ground thing.
Senpuu still called Joubutsu Manka though,as she believed that there's still
a small shread of Manka inside Joubutsu.(but this probably isn't true,
ask Sayaka)
Joubutsu doesn't care much about names,so she went along and referred to
herself as Manka when Senpuu's around.
And yes,here Shimedore is basically Walpurgis' Night.Yeahhh...

Shimedore will make use of the seed to enter the mortal world

"I figured you'd want to do that anyway even without me telling you."
"I really wish I could see your DX form though..."
"And my dou~ never mind. Anyway, I want you to meet someone. Don't you feel unfortunate that you don't know the majority of us because of not being able to see our DX Forms? Well here's one that I didn't expect to reveal a step form..."
...
"...what the... hell are you?! Do you have a deathwish or something?!"
"...your conviction is surprisingly pure...
I however may not be able to say the same in my true form.
I hope... you don't go through the same fate as all the others.
We'll meet again."

"What... what's up with him?"
"...an everlasting pain. A horrible evening. Recurring forever."
"...what?"
"That's all I can tell you really. I'm just glad you got to at least settle things with him without dying.
I'll be seeing you soon, my creator! Oh, and for the record, this is a time paradox."
"I know, right?"
Also I still don't
Oh right,Xepher…to boot,Mei appeared in DDR too,
one of the newer versions,though I forgot exactly which one.
Zenoshi refers to having to hit all of the buttons at the same time.
In IIDX's case,it's all 7 keys plus scratch note.
Story-wise,it usually involves one wide,homing blast (Loudo
and Reunion) or a danmaku (Revolver and Black Another!MENDES)

At least those buttons are small enough to actually all be hit using only the hands...
ON a sidenote I also got DDR Supernova all because Red Zone was there hahahaha
I just feel like I need more exposure to it
Heh,that misheard lyric was a classic lololol
You're right about the keys being small enough,but
what if other konmai rhythm games also had it?
It already appeared in PnM…
In DDR,it should be technically impossible to hit all the arrows
at the same time
Jubeat?You'll need a pretty big pair of hands lol
Reflec Beat?I doubt that the touchscreen can handle that
Keyboardmania?I give up.
Inb4 I pester you to get them IIDX console versions

It's ok,after all these days I still haven't found
mp3s of Music Revolver and Crowded Space.
(Understandable though,as the MGG community
is small compared with the major rhythm games
out there)

That's definitely DS3, I just checked that actually. I tried every single source I could think of and turned up with nothing. D:aquabluu wrote:

@Zekira Another WMG,because there are nevar enuff WMGs.
It concerns Joubutsu's background,after her transformation
from Manka into her current form.
Yeah,that's about it.
It concerns Joubutsu's background,after her transformation
from Manka into her current form.
SPOILER
Manka's transformation into Joubutsu was because of her attempt to escape from her burden,yet now she,as Joubutsu,had to bear a much heavier burden--as the witch goddess/representative of death itself.Ironic hell,I suppose?
Joubutsu was forced to stay inher barrier the darker parts of the spirit world,made to endure the pains and sufferings associated with death.She was also forced to face all this alone,because hey,no one wanted to be friends with Death,amirite?
Naturally,Joubutsu wanted to escape from this role like before,but this time it's even more difficult to do so.She tried breaking the boundaries and get to the mortal world countless of times,yet her powers were insufficient to do so.She even tried killing herself,but she simply got resurrected as her role forced her to become somewhat immortal.
All this was of course frustrating,and it allowed Shimedore to plant a malicious thought in Joubutsu's mind:If you cannot escape from your suffering,then drag everyone else in to suffer with you.Cue the whole burn-down-the-world thing.(alternatively,you can remove the influence of Shimedore and make it a result of Joubutsu's mental breakdown)
In short,IMO Joubutsu is quite a tragic character.Her actions may be far from being acceptable (since when is destroying the world acceptable?) but in the end it all stemmed from her lonliness and suffering.

@anongos: orz. Oh well. 
I can't tell the difference between music quality haha.
@Zekira: Almost done on the Senpuu comboburst, so here's a preview before I add the final touches~
As for the BGs, you'll have to wait until after my exam in mid-May.

@crystal:
I'm a bit confused however as to her initial objective. I'm actually under the impression that her willingness to escape wasn't there at first since, you know, she wasn't the goddess of death when she first started. However, with how you formed Manka's background (...because for some reason I'm totally taking it seriously...), it is possible that she wanted to escape ever since she fell into the darkness as there was still a portion of her soul that was Manka and not fully Joubutsu yet, which eventually became weaker and weaker thanks to the continuous visions of death that she underwent throughout her life. Eventually the soul of Manka was merged with Joubutsu's, forming the thought of escaping the visions of death by presenting all of the deaths in one instant.
Since you've been pretty good at your assumptions lately, I will give you a WMG challenge...
How did Fuushikaden play a role in Joubutsu's past?
I will (probably) not answer this directly, but I'm amused to see what you can come up with...
@crystal:
This is somewhat true. The transformation of Manka to Joubutsu was not instant, as it required a lot of 'purifications' before she became a goddess in the negative spectrum. Oh and before I forget to mention, each 'purification' will erase a portion of one's memories, and the weaker memories take longer to come back. Really strong memories are retained.crystalsuicune wrote:

Joubutsu was forced to stay inNot sure what you mean by 'endure the pains and sufferings associated with death'; each rebirth made her closer and closer to the spirit world, and the influence of her stronger memories inclined her more to the thoughts of death. In her final purification (as of now), she's the one in charge of overseeing the death of all beings in the world, meaning she has to partake in the pain of every living being.her barrierthe darker parts of the spirit world,made to endure the pains and sufferings associated with death.She was also forced to face all this alone,because hey,no one wanted to be friends with Death,amirite?

Particularly the 'killing herself' part as that was the reason she slowly became the goddess of death...

However, Shimedore is waiting for the time when Joubutsu is released from her own curse so that he can start his incident. Shimedore will pick up where Joubutsu left off and will proceed from there. Unlike Joubutsu, however, Shimedore won't destroy the world. Instead, he will gather up all the darkness in the world (which would then be easy to contain in one place thanks to what will happen to Joubutsu in Chapter 30), and is able to manipulate it freely due to Shimedore being one of the world's nature-binding beings. Once the current world is wrecked enough, he will take the opportunity to form the darkened world into one that he wants. He has enough power to do so.
In short,IMO Joubutsu is quite a tragic character.Her actions may be far from being acceptable (since when is destroying the world acceptable?) but in the end it all stemmed from her lonliness and suffering.I'm amused how you mentioned loneliness but forgot to expound it here.
Yeah,that's about it.

@aquabluu: Also, can I ask for avatar size of these chibi ;_;?
@Zekira Huh?A WMG about Fuushi's role in this?
Interesting…What little background I have thought up
won't fit,so I probably have to start from scratch…
Still,sounds fun,I'll see what I can think up.
Now about our resident witch…I mean Joubutsu…
Your idea about Joubutsu suffering the pains of every
being at their deaths is exactly what I'm thinking of.I
guess I didn't word it clearly enough orz
Also,the memory wipe makes sense,as Octavia seems to
lack any memories of her previous life as Sayaka.And
Joubutsu having a small part that's still Manka,but that part
is slowly assimilated into Joubutsu's mind/soul?It makes sense
and probably fits in the concept of Madoka!Witches,but god
that sounds so…Poor Manka QAQ
I can totally picture her being trapped in her witch form's mind,crying
for escape.She doesn't like getting stuck in friggin' Death,I'm sure of
that.
Hm?The loneliness bit?Remember what I said about Joubutsu
having to suffer all that alone?I mean it.Aside from her minions
(or familars,if Joubutsu's considered a witch),there are no other beings
in her barrier/realm.There's no one to talk to,no one to care for her.
The Manka bit in her is dying (pun not intended) to meet her family
and friends,but she knows it will be impossible,unless they die and
enter the spirit world.
God all this is pretty grimdark.To boot,I'm listening to magia right now.
