Puella Magi Rei ♥ Magica: The After Story

Chapter 2: "Origin; Tea Sessions"

"Stop right there!"

A stream of bright white webbing shoots across the darkened hallway, lighting up it's crevices as it entangles a man, dropping him to his knees.

"You have broken the laws of man. Murdering and hurting innocent people and stealing.. You have much to pay for."

The man stood as best as he could, letting out a low growl as he attempted to withdraw his knife from his pocket, but he couldn't move his arms very well.

"Who the hell do you think you are?! You're just a kid, I could snap your neck like a twig!"

The girl simply grinned, the webbing tightening.

"You are a disgusting human being. I'm doing the world a favor."

In an instant, the girl twirled, her brilliantly colored black and white hair flowing as she withdrew a rifle from her striped soul gem, her eyes flickering.

The man began to grow desperate. He stood up and began hopping toward the exit, though stumbling and falling.

"Oh no, go on ahead, I like the chase." The girl laughed, dispersing the webbing on the man as he began sprinting, throwing open the exit and disappearing into the night.

..

He sprints to a payphone around the block, closing and locking the door before inserting a coin into the booth, and dialing a number.

".. Hiroto?! Man you have to come get me, I'm by the Red Light District and there's this psycho kid with a rifle-... What do you mean grow a pair?! She has a fucking rifle, man!"

Shadows began to weave around the phone booth, as the girl in black and white emerged from the alley.

"Your time is up."

The man let out a scream as the girl began to fire multiple rounds into the phone booth. The windows shatter as blood splatters on the concrete. Shards rain down as the man drops to the ground, gasping for air as his blood pools around him.

The girl stepped forward, grinning down at the man as she raised her rifle up. "..Don't grieve. You will soon find relief in the darkness that awaits you." Her smile soon turned into a grimace, as she fired one last bullet into the man's head, ending his torment.

Just as soon as she did so, the area around her began to warp. She blinked, before letting out a sigh. "Oh I see, you were wanting him for yourself, yeah?"

Before her eyes, a witch labyrinth began to form, the familiar occupying it not too happy with this girl's performance.

"Come on, we can settle this the easy way. Name's Orisa, how bout' you, witchy?" The girl smugly said, leaning on the barrel of her rifle as the familiar let out a vicious roar.
