This is going to be my first time writing a magical girl story.

The tags (and rating) are subject to change, as well as the title and likely the summary.

I came up with this story idea instead of sleeping (couldn't sleep) and thought that it would be funny if I included characters from Twisting Vines as part of the backstory, I own nothing.

(Two characters who will be introduced later do belong to me.)

Might have Blue Jerboa be a beta reader or something.

Please be patient.

No hate in the comments either, comment moderation is on for a reason.

All characters are their canonical ages - except for one of the Utenas, who is fifteen.

Chapter Text

Everything was normal, or as normal as it could be - all things considered... What with feeling like she just went through some kind of unfathomable hell that could only be explained by the sudden retreat of Anemo Nemo and Morino Korisu from the break room of Nacht Base.

Then the sky fell.

Utena was surrounded by the screams of her teammates. Everything was falling apart before their very eyes as chaos erupted all around them with Nacht Base collapsing, that smug little puppet bastard was still grinning even as she lost consciousness.

When she came to, she was greeted by a strange sight - herself, but different - and a different mascot as well, this other variant of her could only be described as a plants based villain.

The mascot - she eventually learned was named Vera - offered to send her out of this reality, as it was unnecessary for her to be there right now - with no idea what was happening, she agreed - falling unconscious shortly after.

This time, when she awoke - she was somewhere new - it looked like she was in Panda Park this time, except the swings were a different color.

In the distance, she could hear Tres Magia fighting against the forces of evil, and when she went to investigate - well, she was more confused than before, because there was Baiser and Enormeeta - but she remembered this battle...

Utena later came to the conclusion that this was not her timeline either, it was extremely different and also appeared to be set in the past rather than the present, as this battle didn't take place that long after the civil war in Enormeeta.

She didn't want to leave, something told her there was no getting back to her own world, so with a heavy heart she chose to stay in this one and make a new life - all things considered she couldn't really be 'Utena' here after all.

She was thankful for the bag she had with her - wherever it came from - as it had clothes, money, and some perishables.

Utena wandered for a while, going to the next town in order to make some changes - first, she bought hair dye and dyed her hair a more vibrant shade of violet, then bought contact lenses and a pair of glasses - as well as some Magical Girl Merch because she couldn't resist.

Then she returned to Sendai and rented a one bed one bath apartment near school, it took her several days to find some sort of part time job - which, ironically, turned out to be at the same store Michiko worked at.

She quickly enrolled in school, ending up in the same class as the others, so thankfully she at least knew some of what was going on, even if she joined part way into the semester.

Utena introduced herself as Violet Nakamura, and ended up seated opposite from the other Utena and just hoping that no one noticed the resemblance - Haruka, chipper as always, greeted her and immediately brought her into the conversation - introducing her to her friend Sayo, and her girlfriend Kaoruko. She thought her head was going to explode at this revelation.

Several hours later she found herself alone in the alleyway behind the store, taking out trash - when she was approached by a small, floating creature with big ears and made out of white fabric.

It introduced itself as Vatz, and commented on the fact that she had quite the magical potential - asking if she would be interested in becoming the leader of a secondary team of magical girls in this city - to fight alongside Tres Magia.

She barely contained her excitement as she told the little mascot she would, and received a purple transformation heart from Vatz - taking on the ironic magical girl name of Magia Violet - taking some inspiration from Petunia to be a plant themed heroine.

End of Prologue

"Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans." – Allen Saunders

When she transformed for the first time she noticed some differences in her magical girl outfit as opposed to Tres Magia's own - where it should have been white, it was lavender - and the gloves were fingerless, and for some reason she had lavenders on her head and her hair was in a small ponytail held together by a black ribbon.

Most noticeably was that rather than having a bow with her transformation heart like Magenta, she instead found it was attached to a black necktie.

Utena waited with Vatz anxiously for Tres Magia to arrive. "I-I'm not sure if I can do this..." She murmured, but silence was the only reply she received.

When the trio finally arrived they were somewhat shocked to find a new girl waiting for them. "Ya have got to be shittin' me! Yer bringing anotha girl into this?!" Sulfur lost her temper immediately, thinking Vatz was crazy for dragging some poor other girl into the tomfuckery they called fighting Enormeeta.

Kaoruko couldn't help feeling bad for this girl. Was she even made aware of what she was signing up for? Or did Vatz omit that information on purpose? Baiser and her lackeys were going to eat this poor girl alive before her first battle was even over!

Magenta was the next to speak up. "I think it's nice to see a new face, it's just been us three for a long time." She was smiling, but on the inside she too had concerns. Even Azul seemed doubtful about this girl's willpower, she reminded her of Utena in a way - shy, and somewhat meek.

Sulfur went on ranting and the others were just letting her tire herself out. "Do you know what you signed up for?" Azul asked calmly, sitting down on the couch. "S-Somewhat... Although I... Might know some things you don't..." She hesitated to say this, but it piqued Sulfur's interest enough that she stopped her bitching.

The room was dead silent.

"What do you know?" Vatz pressed, thinking nothing of it. "S-Something bad is coming, but... Well, I know a-about what's going on right n-now pretty well?" Utena shrugged, trying to play it off as her just having a hunch - she could tell Sulfur wasn't buying it at all, not even in the slightest.

She told them it was just a hunch based on what she had already seen, Magenta thanked her for her insight before turning to Sulfur, who was about to start cursing up a storm that would make even a sailor blush - but it never came.

When they were about to reveal their secret identities, Violet stopped them. "I-I'm not ready for that y-yet! I... I'm a big fan and... I just - I'm not ready to know that truth right now..." She scrambled, anxious and very very startled they were so willing to show her who they were so quickly.

While the trio was skeptical, they respected her decision toward their anonymity, Sulfur especially - thinking this girl wouldn't last one battle before she cracked, the girl was so fidgety and her eyes kept darting around - like she was scared something would jump out at her from the shadows.

Later...

Kaoruko leaned against the wall. "Ah don't think it's a good idea to be bringing anotha girl to try and fight our battles, especially this one." She scowled, arms folded. "Give her time, she seems like she's... Seen a lot." Haruka says as she glances to Sayo. "She can't be any worse than Sayo already is." The blonde grumbled.

After that conversation, the group split up to return to their respective homes. Haruka in particular had to stop at the shop to pick up some groceries for her mom.

As she entered the store, she noticed that new girl from school behind the counter - she looked exhausted, Haruka could faintly hear Kiwi and Utena somewhere else inside of the building - Kiwi being her usual boisterous self. "Nice to see you again, Violet. I hope school is treating you well?" She asks, placing the items on the counter. "Yeah..." Was her only reply.

Elsewhere, Sayo was dealing with a dilemma of her own - that being she had tied herself up, and now couldn't get down.

The Battle Begins.

Chapter Text

"I’m sick of following my dreams, man. I’m just going to ask where they’re going and hook up with ’em later." – Mitch Hedberg

Violet wasn't expecting to be woken up when she decided to take a nap after school, she was exhausted - yet there it was, the unmistakable ping of dark and light energy honing in near her location.

She whimpered, rubbing her forehead - she remembered the dream so vividly, the pangs of guilt resonating in her chest didn't help either - she could still hear them calling out to her for help as Nacht Base crumbled all around her... Still remembered hearing Korisu scream for the first time ever, a primal, desperate cry from the darkness.

She shook her head - trying to stop the tears before they fell, she had a duty to perform, she needed to go help Tres Magia fight the other her - their Baiser, god it was still so weird to think about.

Violet quickly transformed and left through a window - hurrying to find the others.

When she arrived, she narrowly dodged one of Sulfur's giant fists - letting out a shocked scream as Leoparde was sent flying into her seconds after, along with the other Sulfur Fist. "You fucking bitch! God damnit!" Leoparde was screaming profanities, then she noticed she landed on a person - she panicked for a moment before realizing this girl wasn't a civilian.

"Are you some sort of freaky cosplayer? The fuck are you doing here!?" The military dark magical girl huffed and puffed - Violet panicked, and then Leoparde was launched into the sky by a giant fist made out of... Grass? What the hell?

Basier noticed her not even a moment later. "Fufufu, a new magical girl? I'm so sorry for the rude introduction!~ Let me properly introduce myself." The villainess' eyes were gleaming with depraved intent as she bolted toward her - Frusta Dominaze at the ready to strike...

The hit never landed, as she too was launched into the sky - everyone stopped and stared as she was sent sailing into a nearby construction site, then they all looked at her - some confused, others concerned, but Sulfur's expression could only be called by one name, pride.

Loco Musica and Leberblume exchanged a look of concern, looking in the direction Leoparde and Baiser went flying, Nero Alice was just standing there with a confused look on her face as Loco Musica quickly ushered her through a portal while Leberblume went to retrieve the commander and her favorite lapdog.

Soon, it was just her, Magenta, Sulfur, and an extremely disheveled Azul - the three in various states of undress, while she remained completely unscathed. "That was... Certainly something..." Azul hesitated, looking to Sulfur to help her out here - as she was currently tied up and hanging from the lamppost where Baiser had left her.

Magenta and Sulfur exchanged looks. "I think that was good? It was definitely unexpected." She offered, smiling. "I think it was fucking great! Did you see how they went through that wall? It was amazing!" Sulfur was laughing and smiling, grinning from ear to ear.

It was the first time she'd ever seen Sulfur so happy.

They retreated and went to meet up with Vatz, seeing as Tres Magia had another meeting with sponsors.

Elsewhere, the other Utena was recovering back at Nacht base - in spite of the multiple injuries she had gained after being sent flying through two brick walls and crashing into a metal beam - she was happier than she could ever be. "A new magical girl in Tres Magia! Oh god she was so cute!" She chattered away to Kiwi, who was busy having her face shoved into the floor as she was currently being used as a chair by her girlfriend - she had no complaints though, feeling Utena's heels digging into her arm brought her both pain and pleasure.

She kept on going. "She was also wearing a lot of purple! You know I really like that color, it quite suits her - I'm not really sure what happened with the plants though, that was certainly new. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before and I'm wracking my brain but I just can't quite figure it out! Also was she wearing a necktie? It was a nice change to all the bows and ribbons." Utena grins, one hand grabbing Kiwi by the hair and tugging, licking her lips. "I can't wait until our next fight! I want to get my hands on her as soon as possible and not a minute later!"

Nemo didn't share the sentiment. "She seemed really strong for a newbie, I don't know if it's such a wise decision to pick another fight so quickly." She remarked, a bit nervous. "Yeah, she did send both of you flying kind of effortlessly - I don't know if I want to get mixed up in whatever that was." Matama added from her seat on the couch beside Nemo.

School, the next day.

Violet groaned softly - head on her desk as the teacher handed out group assignments, she was exhausted after yesterday - thankfully she was put in a group with Sayo - who was rather level headed, as well as Haruka - unfortunately for Kaoruko, who ended up in a group with Kiwi, and they were already arguing... "I don't want to be in a group with you either, ironing board!" "Melon breath!" "Flat chest!" Utena looked like she wanted to crawl in a hole and hide from the world.

As they were working on the project, Sayo asked Violet a question. "Did you have any friends back home?" She fell silent - all the noises rushing back into the forefront of her mind. Kiwi calling her name in a panic - Nemo shouting frantically as a wall crashed down on where Matama was standing - Korisu's screams.

"Hey, are you okay Violet?" Haruka's voice suddenly snapped her out of her daze. "Do you need a tissue? Or someone to talk to?" She looked down and realized she had been crying all over her sleeves and skirt. "Y-Yeah... I'm fine, just... Remembered something..." She mumbled, quickly getting up and leaving the room.

Haruka and Sayo exchanged a look, Kaoruko and Kiwi falling silent as Violet passed by them, sharing a concerned look - Kaoruko got up and followed her to the bathroom. "Hey, are ya alright? Ya seemed pretty down back there in class." She remarked, sitting down on the floor beside the taller girl. "I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to remember anymore, it's the same thing every night and I just can't deal with this anymore, I want to go back to the way things were - I want to punch that bastard in her stupid eternally grinning face and make her wish she had never done that to us." She sobbed, hitting herself on the head with her hands.

"Oi, ya need to stop doin' that, beatin' yerself up over whatever happened isn't gonna do ya no good here. It's not healthy." Kaoruko huffed - putting her in a headlock. "So quit it." Then she let her go. "Look, if ya ever need to talk to somebody - you can just... Call me, a'ight?" She said, standing up and offering her a hand.

The two exchanged phone numbers and returned to class - Violet more begrudgingly so compared to Kaoruko.

Things were never going to get better for her, never easier, but Kaoruko giving her a shoulder to cry on really gave her a better perspective on life, and a deeper insight into who the petite blonde was as a person.

To be continued in chapter three...

"I try not to miss you, I try to let you go, but in the end, you’re always on my mind." – Anonymous

Violet sat between Sulfur and Magenta on the couch, Azul standing behind them as the host of Uta Ban Ban started talking to them.

"So nice to see a new face among you girls, might I ask where you found this one?" Tengenji Holy asked, smiling with that same tired look she always had, Sulfur huffs. "We weren't the ones who found 'er, Vatz did - but she's been surprisingly helpful on the battlefield." The blonde grins.

Magenta fidgets a little. "I think her powers certainly bring a new diversity to the ongoing fight against Enormeeta." She added, squeezing Violet's hand gently. "We've had our ups and downs, but it's nice to see Baiser unable to land a hit once in a while." Azul remarked, squeezing Violets shoulder.

Tengenji looks to Magia Violet. "So, what made you want to become a member of Tres Magia?" She asks, folding her hands together. "I-I am a l-l-long time fan o-of theirs..." Violet stammers, nervous - Sulfur nudges her. "Hey, don't be so scared." The blonde whispers, smiling.

Violet groans softly, head in her hands. "I don't want to talk about this anymore..." She whimpers, Tres Magia looking at her with concern etched on their faces. "I think that's all we want to say today, no more questions please." Magenta said, standing up abruptly - Sulfur and Azul escorting Violet off stage while Magenta tries to calm the situation.

Vatz wasn't too happy they ended the interview so early - but before they had the chance to say anything, Violet was already having a breakdown in the break room - Azul and Sulfur were at a complete loss as Violet had just started bawling the moment they got her out of there.

When Magenta arrived it was to the chaotic scene of Sulfur and Azul trying to console the frantically inconsolable new recruit, and she was just as confused as the other two. "What happened? Is she okay?" She asks, concerned.

"Ah have no idea! She just started freakin' out the moment we got here!" Sulfur shouted, her voice holding a note of panic, Azul was faring no better. "She started screaming a few minutes ago and was banging her head on the coffee table..." She was restraining Violet as the poor girl continued screaming in between fits of wailing and sputtering incoherent babble.

Vatz grimaces. "I'm starting to think it was a bad idea to have her attend a press release so soon after your last battle..." The mascot seemed genuinely sorry. "YA THINK!?" Sulfur shouted, rage evident on her face.

"This whole god damn thing was a bad idea in the first place!" Sulfur roared internally, glaring at their mascot.

Although... Sulfur couldn't help the feeling that she'd dealt with something like this before...

Violet was still completely unable to be understood as she ranted and screamed and cried - they eventually decided it was best to send her home before things could get worse. Vatz was the one to take her home, as Violet had continuously refused to share or learn any of their secret identities.

When she had left, Tres Magia detransformed to relax a little. "That poor girl seemed to be doing so well..." Sayo sighs, slumping into a chair. "Ah don't know what was goin' on inside her head, she just snapped outta nowhere!" Kaoruko insisted, not wanting to be blamed for whatever THAT was. "It's only been a few days, she hasn't fully settled in - I don't think she trusts us very much..." Haruka tried to be reasonable.

Elsewhere...

Utena sat on the couch beside Kiwi, Korisu on the floor playing with her dolls - feeling a bit bummed out. "Why'd it have to end so quickly? It's not fair..." Utena had been pouting for the last half an hour after the interview had ended rather abruptly.

"That Shrinking Violet seems so timid, kind of a big baby if you ask me." Kiwi scoffed, unhappy that all her girlfriend could think about right now was some other girl.

She just shook her head. "I think she was overwhelmed by the amount of people there." Nemo pitched in, hanging off the back of the couch while Matama was in the recently renovated kitchen.

A small portal opened and out floated Venalita, that bright yellow faced bastard was still grinning. "I've finished seeing to the work on the reward that you had requested, Kiwi." The mascot said, gesturing to the window - a new building loomed outside Nacht Base.

"Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight." – Phyllis Diller

At her next meeting with Tres Magia, Violet finally makes up her mind.

"So... I-I think I'm r-ready for the truth n-now, just... I'm still a bit n-nervous, you know?" Violet stammered, looking around at her teammates. "Do you want us to begin, or would you like to go first?" Magenta asked, smiling brightly - she was holding Sulfur's hand, the blonde in question was trying to hide her blushing face.

Violet tensed up. "I... Was thinking t-that since... You're t-the leader that... You should choose?" She suggested, glancing toward Azul - who wasn't really paying attention at the moment, she was still recovering after training yesterday. "Oh, I guess that makes sense?" Magenta said, shrugging before she detransformed.

She stood there, her face completely blank as Magenta turned into - or rather, reverted back into Hanabishi Haruka.

Sulfur was the next to detransform - really, it should have been pretty damn obvious from the accent alone, so that meant that Azul must be Sayo... That definitely made things awkward for her, considering all the things she'd done to the teal-haired heroine back in her own timeline. "I-I guess it's m-my turn then?..." Violet stammers, clenching her hands into loose fists behind her back.

Haruka and Kaoruko both nodded in unison, and with a heavy sigh, she relented - releasing her transformation and reverting back to her civilian form. "I had a feeling about this, what with the 'two' of you having the same name - it also explains a few other things." Sayo murmured, glancing over.

Kaoruko grimaced - remembering the multiple breakdowns that Violet had had over the previous days, the late nights she'd spent on calls with the poor girl about her increasing nightmares - although she'd been rather vague on the details as well.

"Well, I'm really glad you're someone we already know, even if only a little bit - I'm also happy you were willing to share, I was starting to worry about- you know what, never mind that thought." Haruka immediately began talking as if this hadn't been a huge weight on her conscious for over a week now.

Violet was really glad for the clarity this had brought her, but was still unsettled by the fact she had done such vulgar things to her own classmates back home. "I'm... Glad you're happy Haruka-Chan..." She smiled meekly, hoping the trio wouldn't notice how uncomfortable she was right now.

Elsewhere...

Sitting alone on a bench in the mall while waiting for Matama to find clothes to try on, Nemo was left alone with her thoughts - recently she'd been noticing something while she was transformed, a presence that felt vaguely familiar and not at the same time - what she found most concerning was how it seemed to always be there, watching them, slowly getting stronger - as if it was leeching off their magic and power, it made her uncomfortable - especially when she was alone.

She also noticed that the strange presence seemed to be more prominent whenever she and the others were around Tres Magia and their new ally - maybe it had something to do with the new magical girl? Baiser had been avoiding attempting to get her freak on with Magia Violet a lot more than usual, did their leader know something she didn't?

"Meet me at Hotel Enormity this afternoon."

Chapter Text

"The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits." - Albert Einstein

Hotel Enormity, 1pm

As Kiwi lay there - hogtied and hanging from the ceiling - with thick, black cables attached to her nipples and part of her nethers, she wondered what had spurred on this sudden invitation from her girlfriend - usually, she was the one begging Utena to go to a hotel with her, but she was unable to tell Utena no when the typically reserved girl had asked her out of the blue to join her that afternoon at Hotel Enormity.

Baiser stood in front of Kiwi - Frusta Dominaze held in one hand, lightly tapping the other as she started to circle her - grinning widely with one of those looks in her eyes that gave Kiwi goosebumps.

Then, she felt the electricity coursing into her from the cables, making her body spasm and twitch - jerking against the restraints that bound her to the ceiling, only to feel Baiser's whip strike her across her stomach. "Stop resisting~ I know you enjoy this~" it seemed like Baiser was in one of her 'moods' after all.

She shut her eyes tight - biting her lip, face flushed bright red as Baiser circled around behind her - Frusta Dominaze cracked down on her backside, she was barely able to restrain a yelp before her lover brought the whip down on the other cheek - Kiwi was drooling a little bit from both ends. "That's my girl." Baiser purred - moving to cup Kiwi's chin, smiling gently. "Remember to use our safe word if it becomes too much, okay kitten?" The purple-haired villainess murmurs, her gaze softening.

Kiwi gulped, blushing - she was a little embarrassed by the safe word Baiser had chosen, and while she often referred to her partner as her dommy-mommy, and often heard that Magia Azul referred to her as Mistress - calling her that by her own choice made her incredibly flustered.

As Baiser grabbed yet another of the black cables and started to bring it up to Kiwi's backside, she panicked. "Mistress Baiser!" Kiwi practically screeched and immediately Baiser's entire demeanor shifted - swiftly unhooking the cables from her lover's body and untying her. "I-I'm sorry!" She was Utena again, all flustered and nervous - waving her hands around frantically, grabbing an ice pack from the freezer nearby.

It was kind of scary to Kiwi how Utena could flip personalities on a dime like that, one moment she's getting ready to tear you a new asshole - and the next she's cuddling you and babbling frantic apologies as she treats the wounds that she herself inflicted upon you, to an outsider it would seem like she had DID - but to be honest, Kiwi was pretty damn certain her Utena-Chan was always like that underneath.

Breathless, she lay there on her back - eyes watering a little as Utena held an ice pack to her tits, still looking concerned. "I didn't hurt you, did I?" She asked softly, gently stroking the blonde's hair with her free hand. "I'm fine, I just panicked... You've never really done butt stuff with me before - well, aside from the spanking." Kiwi murmured, leaning into her touch. "You usually reserve that for Tres Magia." Kiwi added, pouting a little.

Utena giggled softly, holding Kiwi's hand. "Don't be like that, next time we do this I'll start smaller - if you still want me after this that is..." She flinched, expecting Kiwi to reject her - all she got was a deadpan stare from the bruised blonde. "I sure hope there's a fucking next time, or else I'd be very mad!" She said, puffing out her cheeks before she busted out laughing.

The two enjoyed themselves, and Kiwi eventually managed to get Utena to cram another date into her 'busy' schedule that same afternoon.

Another location, a few minutes earlier

Nemo and Matama were sitting side by side at a restaurant - sharing a plate of food, Nemo herself wasn't a big fan of cuddling out in public, but Matama on the other hand didn't seem to have any qualms about it - she was still going commando, but Nemo of course was prepared and had a pair packed for her partner just in case.

No one could tell but the brunette had something beneath her bra, and it wasn't just her assets - two small vibrators were taped to her nipples and were set on low, Nemo had the remote in her pocket. With Matama squirming a little beside her - sitting on top of part of her skirt, it was getting harder for Nemo to focus on eating lunch and NOT eating her girlfriend out right there and then in public.

Eventually, Nemo had enough and dragged Matama out of the restaurant and to her room back at Nacht Base - recklessly throwing the brunette onto the bed and yanking a box out from beneath the shelf of video games, taking out a large object made of rubber and covered in bumps with large, bulbous tips on either end.

The look on Matama's face was a mixture of fear and arousal, eyes as wide as saucers as Nemo towered over her with the absolute bitch-breaker of a toy in her hand - a mischievous grin on Nemo's otherwise expressionless face. "Y-You're not serious, right?" Matama squeaks, but received no answer aside from Nemo approaching her with the toy in hand. "Right!?" She yelped, squirming away - visibly flustered.

Nemo didn't respond, climbing onto the bed and sitting on Matama's stomach. "Open your mouth." The shark-like teen insisted, she merely nodded and obeyed - only to have one end shoved into her mouth.

Lets just say that those two got more than just their 'freak' on, and it would certainly leave Matama sore for the rest of the day and six ways to Sunday.

Kaoruko's House, 2pm

The blonde sat across from the pinkette in her bedroom, it was just the two of them there - trying to think of where to go on their next date, neither of them could agree on where to go though.

Eventually they decided on going out to the Minakami family shrine to where Sayo often did waterfall meditation, they found their friend already there with Violet - who looked like she'd been having another episode - both were laying on their backs under the torrent of water, Sayo drooling and Violet also appeared to have fallen asleep.

Haruka started giggling - god how Kaoruko loved that sound, it was adorable - the blonde couldn't help but laugh. "Those two are kind of hopeless." She remarked, one arm around Haruka's waist. "Be nice Kaoruko!" Haruka pouted, looking at her with a disapproving stare. "I was only joking, sort of - we both know how Sayo is." Kaoruko pointed out.

The two eventually decided to go elsewhere to enjoy their afternoon together.

End of Arc One.

Survivors Guilt.

Chapter Text

"Relationships are like farting, If you push too hard things could get messy real fast." - Kevin Hart

Violet's relationships with the alternate versions of the people she once knew

Kaoruko/Sulfur - Emotional confidant, often her shoulder to cry on and one of the only people she trusts with her other secrets.

Haruka/Magenta - Good friend, while she remains skeptic about Violet's motives, she's glad to have her around to help balance out the team dynamics.

Sayo/Azul - Attempted therapist, she wants to help Violet get past her problems - but she can't even do that for herself.

Kiwi/Leoparde - Still trying to figure out if Violet is a distant cousin of her Utena-Chan. Likes Magia Violet about as much as she likes Sulfur - which is honestly not much.

Utena/Baiser - Treats her similarly to how she treats Sulfur, but remains optimistic about the things she could do to her - strangely keeps her distance from Violet due to unknown circumstances. Doesn't mind her civilian-self, feels kind of bad for her.

Vatz - Employer and nothing else, the mascot has many regrets about recruiting Violet after witnessing multiple of her manic episodes - seeming her as scarily similar to Baiser at times. Has no idea just how right they are about the similarities.

Venalita - Has seen Magia Violet maybe TWICE since she showed up and decided they wanted nothing to do with her, unfortunately has to constantly hear about her from Utena's incessant magical girl rants.

Korisu/Nero Alice - Violet enjoys spending time with the small girl, joining Haruka in playing games with her - has unfortunately been subjected to a few adventures in the doll house because of this child.

Nemo/Leberblume - Wouldn't touch Magia Violet with a six foot Magia Azul branded pole, after seeing what Violet could do to Baiser and Leoparde - she's not eager to be next on the list.

Matama/Loco Musica - Her stance on Magia Violet is almost the exact same as Nemo's, except Magia Violet actually scares her.

Tanaka Michiko - Coworker at Violet's part-time job, feels like this kid is kind of familiar but can't put her finger on it.

Tada Randa - Skeptical about Violet but is fine being around her because Violet is nice to her Miichan.

Momomori Momo - Feels like Violet is one of the group, because Violet treats her almost exactly the same way Randa does.

Violet's relationships with those from Twisting Vines

Vera - thankful to her for helping her out, but she does find the green mascot rather creepy.

Petunia Botantacles - was her inspiration to become a plant-themed heroine, as well as the fact Petunia gave her the idea to also name herself after a type of flower.

Captain Asshole - only caught a glimpse of the captain but would be glad to never have to hear her moniker again.

PsyAlx - only caught a glimpse of the kid but is glad she never had to deal with her.

Violet's relationships back home...

Korisu/Nero Alice - saw her as like a little sister, misses her greatly.

Kiwi/Leoparde - also misses her a lot, she was a great friend to have.

Nemo/Leberblume - while she does miss her, she doesn't miss her constant nitpicking about her leadership abilities.

Matama/Loco Musica - she feels the same way about her as she does about Nemo.

Venalita - hates them with a fiery passion and would be glad to never see them again, unless they are turned into a punching bag.

Vatz - saw the mascot in person ONE time and feels like Vatz isn't as cheerful as the manager of Tres Magia should be.

Tres Magia - while she misses her Tres Magia (and all her beloved merch) she knows that she'll never forget them (and she can always buy new merch)

Lord Enorme/Tanaka Michiko/Imitatio - tentative allies, they protect each others identities so that they can continue doing what they love.

Tada Randa/Magia White/Berserga - this survivor of the Magical Girl Hunt isn't too fond of her, due to her multiple 'transgressions' against Michiko.

Momomori Momo - refused to accept the 'crack ship' that she and Kiwi had forced upon her. Utena still doesn't like her one bit to this day.

Classmates - does miss them, doesn't remember most of their names - except for Haruka, Sayo, and Kaoruko of course.

Her Mother - she definitely misses her the most out of everyone she once knew, and she'll always hold a special place in her heart.

The Collapse™

Unable to forget the faithful day that her life was turned upside down...

Chapter Text

"There is one pain, I often feel, which you will never know. It's caused by the absence of you." - Ashleigh Brilliant

"A million words would not bring you back, I know because I tried, neither would a million tears, I know because I cried." - Unknown

I remember it as if it was yesterday...

Because it was the worst day of my life.

The room spun as Utena sat up, she felt like she'd just been hit by a truck - she groaned. "OH CRAP! LET'S RUN FOR IT, KORISU!!!" Nemo shouted, picking Korisu up in a football carry. "THAT'S SUSPICIOUS! TELL US EVERYTHING YOU KNOW!!!" Matama yelled, jumping to her feet and chasing the two out of the break room.

She rubs her forehead, why was the room still spinning?... That's when she realized something was terribly wrong - the room wasn't spinning, the entirety of Nacht Base was shaking.

Utena ran to the main hall with Kiwi close behind - there, floating in the center, was Venalita - the walls started to crumble around them, the ground cracking under foot.

Rubble fell all around her, she couldn't climb over - her foot was stuck, she glanced around wildly - silently begging the others for help, that's when she heard it...

"UTENA-CHAN!"

Kiwi screamed as the ground opened up beneath her, sending her tumbling into the dark abyss below Nacht Base...

Once her foot was freed from the rubble she ran to find the others, panicking as she searched frantically for her friends, the walls collapsing all around her as she ran, chasms opening up in the floor.

"MATAMA!"

She heard Nemo scream, and only saw the brunette for a split second before the wall nearest to her toppled - Matama tried to scream, but there was no sound except a sickening THUMP!

As Matama was crushed into pulp by the falling wall...

The chandelier hanging above Nemo was sent tumbling as it broke loose from the ceiling as the falling wall knocked it down - Nemo only had a second to look up before CRACK!

The upended chandelier struck the turquoise-haired teen - sharp end collided first with her face, impaling her.

She kept running - her chest burning from the exertion, she wasn't much of a runner to begin with - she looked, and she looked, and she looked - and then she heard it - something she'd never heard before, a desperate, primal cry from the darkness - she recognized Korisu's voice, and her heart broke a little.

"UTENA-NEESAN!?"

Utena tripped, tumbling to the ground - catching a glimpse of Roboko as the animated doll bolted past her - calling out to the little girl, launching herself forward and the two went down - Korisu letting out a pained gasp as Roboko landed on top of her, and then the ceiling above them came crashing down - crushing them both.

Utena let out a strangled cry, her eyes stung from the dust and debris - everything hurt, and there Venalita was - just floating there, looking worse for wear but still grinning even as everything it had built crumbled around them.

The next thing she saw before her vision went white was that little bastard puppet floating toward her - holding the broken, bloody remnants of the others transformation stars. "Goodbye, Utena~ it was fun playing along with your little fantasy while it lasted." It chuckled, then she lost consciousness.

Everything hurts... I never wanted this... I wanted... To see Tres Magia shine, one more time...

Now.. I'll never get the chance to see their beautiful expressions ever again... Damn you, Venalita!...

Next time on, Gushing Realities Collide...

"I miss you, Kiwi-Chan..."

“There’s nothing to fear but fear itself.” — Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Kiwi honestly had no clue why Utena commanded her to pursue Magia Violet after Korisu failed to trap her inside the doll house alongside Tres Magia, but Utena's the boss - so whatever makes her happy.

She pursued the heroine across the city - all the way to the very same construction site where she'd sent both her and Utena crashing to the ground after their first encounter, losing sight of her among the half-finished buildings.

Suddenly, Kiwi heard screaming - a primal noise of despair that chilled her to the bone, it stopped her in her tracks - eventually she mustered the courage to follow it to its source, only to find that the source was Magia Violet herself - screaming and crying as she slammed her head against a wall.

Now, to anyone else the things she was saying would be making absolutely no sense whatsoever - yet, for some reason, Kiwi understood what she was saying. "MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! STOP IT! I JUST WANT MY KIWI BACK! MAKE IT FUCKING STOP!" She seemed to be losing her absolute god damn mind.

Kiwi just stood there, wondering what the fuck was going on - then she noticed something tumble out of the pockets of Magia Violet's uniform.

Pieces of a destroyed transformation star.

She looked on in horror, starting to back away - tripping over something, hurriedly scrambling backwards on her behind as the magical girl started twitching sporadically - turning toward her, eyes bloodshot and forehead bleeding. "Kiwi?..." Magia Violet called out to her - she looked down at herself, she was still transformed - how did she know who she was?

Then she suddenly started freaking out again. "It's not real... She's not real... YOU'RE NOT REAL! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Magia Violet lunged at her, so she did the only thing she could think of - and threw a flashbang at her, but before it went off it smacked her directly in the forehead - knocking her out.

Baiser touched down moments after as Kiwi sat there frozen. "What did you do!?" She whisper-yelled, running over to her partner after noticing the state Magia Violet was in. "I don't know! I followed her like you told me to, and when I found her she was acting all weird and then she started to lose her shit!" Kiwi insisted as Utena pulled her to her feet - opening a portal to Nacht Base after leaving a note behind for Tres Magia.

Nacht Base, Utena's room - 5 minutes later.

Utena tended to Kiwi as she sat on the bed, she was still shaken up after what she had just been subjected to. "Now, tell me exactly what went on." Utena coaxed, gently stroking the blonde's hair.

Kiwi stammered for a moment. "When I found her... She was bashing her head against one of the walls there, screaming and sobbing - then... Then something fell out of her pockets - I... I don't know where she got it from, but it looked like one of our transformation stars - except it was in pieces - covered in blood..." Kiwi explained - hugging her knees.

"I wanted to retreat, but I tripped and then she... She called my name, she knows who I am, Utena. Then she went nuts - she was screaming about something or someone not being real, she said I wasn't real, she screamed at me to go away - suddenly she lunged at me, and I panicked. I threw a flash bang at her, but it hit her on the head before it went off." She says. "I didn't mean to hurt her, I didn't want to!" Kiwi insisted, tears forming in the corners of her eyes.

Utena grimaced. "I've only heard some bits and pieces about how unstable Magia Violet could be, but I didn't think it was this bad. Magical Girls don't do those things, they're good people - I'm not sure what's going on, but I think we should keep our distance from her for the time being." She murmurs, hugging her girlfriend.

Back at the construction site...

Sulfur, Magenta, and Azul had been frantically searching for Magia Violet after escaping from Alice's doll house - when they found her, she was in a sorry state - covered in multiple bruises with her face covered in dirt and her own blood, when Sulfur picked up the note that was left on the ground she was first drawn to the fact it had Magia Baiser's name scrawled hastily at the bottom.

However, what the note said didn't make sense - Magia Violet attempted to physically assault Leoparde? Was slamming her own head against the wall? Seemed unwell? "What in the actual fuck did those skanky twats do!?" Sulfur scowled, Azul picked up Violet - frowning. "It doesn't matter, we need to bring Violet back to base and patch her up." The teal-haired heroine responded, then took off to go meet up with Vatz in the hopes the mascot could help her.

Magenta squeezed Sulfur's hand. "I know things are tough right now... But I'm sure she'll pull through, and I'll do my best to help her - even if she doesn't trust us that much just yet." She promised, she knew that Sulfur saw the new recruit like a little sister. "Let's just catch up to Azul before she does somethin' stupid again." Sulfur put on a brave face - the two of them soon left the construction site.

"I'm awake now, what's up Violet?"

Chapter Text

“Happiness consists of getting enough sleep.” – Unknown

Kaoruko was startled from her slumber as her phone went off right next to her - causing her to nearly fall out of bed.

With a groan, she looks down at the lock screen - a picture of her and Haruka on their first date, and sees a LIME notification from Violet, so she texts her back.

Violet: Hey Kaoruko, are you awake?

Kaoruko: I'm awake now, what's up Violet?

Violet: Can you come over?

Kaoruko: It is twelve o'clock in the morning - why do you want me to come over?

Violet: Someone is trying to break into my apartment... I'm scared.

Kaoruko paused before responding, getting out of bed and getting dressed - grabbing her brass knuckles and a baseball bat.

Kaoruko: I'm on my way lil sis.

Violet: Please hurry.

Kaoruko got on her bike and headed to Violet's apartment as fast as she could, only to see a figure standing hunched in front of the door.

When she approached the unknown figure - their head turned a bit, then they fled - long, gangly, malformed limbs stretching out beneath them as they ran. "What the fuck!?" Kaoruko shouts, watching the thing as it ran away.

Kaoruko: I'm outside, there was some kinda freak at your door tryna pick the lock, can you let me in?

Violet: One moment.

When the door opened, Violet was in her pajamas - holding her phone in one hand while the other was shakily grasping the doorknob. "T-Thanks for coming..." She says as Kaoruko marched inside, locking the door behind her. "No one messes with mah girls and gets away with it." Kaoruko huffed, shouldering her bag as she followed Violet to her room.

Violet's bedroom was shockingly similar to Hiiragi's own, filled with shelves of magical girl merch, CDs, and even pictures - Kaoruko took note that there was a framed photo laying face down on the corner of Violet's desk. "Ya cool with me bunking on yer floor til morning?" The blonde asks, standing near the foot of the bed. "M-My bed is big enough for us both... But you can sleep wherever you want." Violet murmured, climbing back into bed.

Kaoruko just smiles. "Are ya sure ya want me sleepin' in yer bed? I don't want Haruka, or anyone else for that matter, gettin' the wrong idea about us." She remarks, moving to sit on the edge of the bed. "I don't mind it..." Violet whispers, scooching over. "A'ight, fine." The blonde relented, going to the bathroom across the hall to change back into her pajamas.

She came back and climbed into bed beside Violet, who snuggled up to her for comfort. "G'night ya big goof." Kaoruko whispers, hugging the slightly taller girl as Violet went to sleep - but she herself remained awake, alert - just in case that freaky thing decided to come back, and if it did - she'd be ready to break its legs this time.

She'd eventually start to drift off to sleep - Violet cuddled up snug beside her, her head laying over her shoulder - she was fine with this, whatever helps her get a good night's sleep for once.

Out of the corner of her eye, she notices something watching through the window - one crooked spindly arm on the outer windowsill, when it notices she's in there it retreats into the dark and out of sight. "S'what I thought." She murmurs, rubbing her eyes and yawning.

Violet's Apartment, 8 o'clock that same day

Kaoruko slowly sat up, stretching and yawning - forgetting where she was for a moment, until she saw Violet splayed out across her lap on her back, head sort of hanging off of one side of the bed - it made her laugh a little. "Oi, time to wake up goofball." She says, gently rolling Violet off of her legs so she could get up. "Five more minutes mama..." Violet mumbled.

She just stares at her, face scrunched up a bit - confused, but decides to let it go. "I'm taking your magical girl merch if you don't get up." It was an empty threat, but it seemed to work. "NOT MY MERCH!" Violet shrieked - bolting out of bed and tackling Kaoruko. "JESUS CHRIST!" Kaoruko yelped as the other girl knocked her over.

After they got untangled, the two got dressed - Kaoruko following Violet to the small kitchen as the other girl made breakfast. "This place is pretty small, are ya... Happy here?" The blonde asks, sitting on the worn couch. "It's the only place I could afford." Violet murmurs.

Kaoruko clenched her fists. "How about ya come live with me? My folks ain't around enough to care, we got a spare room next ta mine you can use - s'probably bigger than what ya got right now." She offered, Violet seemed to perk up. "Really?" "Yes, really - and this way ah can keep ya safe from whatever that creepy fucker was." She grins - and then gets knocked off the couch as Violet tackled her with a hug.

It took an hour or two for Kaoruko to help Violet pack her things, and then they spoke to her landlord before leaving - meeting up with Haruka on the way to Kaoruko's house. "What's with the boxes?" The pink-haired girl asked, curious. "Ah invited Violet to live with me after what happened last night." The blonde responded, unlocking the front door - Haruka didn't ask further questions, just helped them unpack.

They let Violet set up her room on her own - sitting down on the beanbag in Kaoruko's own room to relax. "So, she's living with you now?" "Yep, hope it isn't a problem." Kaoruko murmured. "I don't think it is, it's only a problem if you make it into one - I'm certainly fine with it, now we're all closer together than we were before!" Haruka grins.

"Yeah... Yeah we are." Kaoruko exhaled, leaning back as Haruka hugged her - the two shared a quick but gentle kiss before parting. "I have to watch my sisters today, but I'll be free later." She waved goodbye as she left, hurrying on back home to fulfill her duties as an older sister of triplets.

Kaoruko was still blushing even after Haruka left.

Next time on Gushing Realities Collide...

The maze of fear.

Chapter Text

“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.” — William Shakespeare

The girls of Tres Magia awoke in a dark, cold room - surrounded by towering black pillars engraved with the remnants of nightmares they never wanted to remember.

The girls of Neo Enormeeta awoke in a thicket of thorns, surrounded by wilting roses - the scent of decay clung to the air, the putrid stench of rotting flesh choking them.

Something slithered past the wilting thicket, and something else skittered among the shadows of the towering pillars - prompting each of the magical girls to flee from the area - promptly separated as they ran into a maze of iron thorns and looming walls of black stone, metal doors slamming shut behind them - trapping them each in a separate section of the maze on their own.

As Magenta stumbled through the rubble on the ground, she could hear crying. "Mafuyu? Akiho? Natsuna?" She called out - starting to run toward the noise, only to trip over something. "SHIT!" She screeched - landing face down on the ground, sitting up, she looked behind her to see what she'd tripped over.

A body she recognized all too well, Natsuna.

She was horrified - scrambling backward from the mutilated corpse, only to bump into another, and another... She forced herself to her feet and started running. "No no no!" She shouted, then she heard it - a high pitched sound like claws on a chalkboard, her eyes going wide as she abruptly turned into a different corridor to go the opposite way of the noise.

Azul charged through the small horde of inky black demons, swatting them away with her weapon - running as quick as she could without touching the iron thorns, screeching to a halt as she entered what looked like the grounds of her family shrine - standing in the middle was... She pushed the thought away. "This can't be real." Azul insists, staring at her doppelganger who was adorned in an ornamental fox mask that had once been used against her by Baiser.

"You know it's real, Azul." The doppelganger hissed softly, stepping toward her.

Something wasn't right about it though...

The thing in front of her began to twitch - she could hear bones snapping as its arms and legs elongated into horrid angles that wouldn't be medically healthy, its neck and torso bones began to snap as they too elongated - the creature morphed into a beast, bones protruding out of its skin - some of the bones showing through patches of discolored flesh, its head spun around like the hand of a clock - black pools of nothingness in place of its eyes, jaw stretched down from its skull in a grotesque grin.

"Come and play with me, Sayo~" it giggled menacingly.

Sulfur ran as fast as her legs would carry her - dodging black tendrils as they erupted from the ground around her, stumbling into what looked like a building - only to find desaturated versions of Haruka's decapitated head hanging from the ceiling and mounted on the wall. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" She screamed, banging on the door - she'd rather deal with the damn tentacle things than THIS!

The door didn't budge.

Baiser fell to her knees - exhausted, she was tired of running - but she was forced to get back on her feet as a massive rock covered in iron spikes rolled toward her. "I DON'T EVEN LIKE INDIANA JONES!" She cried out, finally reaching the door at the end of the corridor - she thought she'd never reach it! Quickly opening the door and running through, slamming it shut behind her - only to narrowly miss stepping into a massive pit that she couldn't see the bottom of.

She frowns. "What in Tres Magia's tits is so scary about a hole?" Baiser asked loudly. "Oh it's not just a hole, Baiser-Chan~" crooned the raspy voice of a creature crawling up out of the hole. "M-Mommy." Baiser whimpered, staring at something that looked like her - but with a longer sinewy tail and large, boney bat wings, with no skin on its jaw and a mouth full of massive fangs - drool dripping onto the ground as it crawled toward her. Baiser turned tail and ran around the edge of the pit as more of those THINGS crawled out of the darkness - she ran back into the maze.

"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!"

Leoparde howled - guns blazing as she fired away at the thing chasing her down the tunnel, she remembered having to deal with something similar once before with Magia Violet at a construction site - but this? It was a whole new level of fucked up! The human body dangled from below the torso of the shadowy spider as its massive legs propelled it forward - two bright yellow eyes rolling about wildly as it charged after the military-themed member of Enormeeta.

She barreled across a rickety bridge over a pit full of spikes - using one of her canons to destroy the structure just as the monster was continuing its charge - sending the thing tumbling down and impaling itself on the spikes. "Fuck that, this is just ridiculous." She grumbles, walking away - twirling the pistol with one hand.

"Are you sure this is the right way? I think we missed a left turn a few corridors back." Loco Musica said, looking down at Nero Alice.

The little blonde shrugged - holding onto the brunette's hand as they wandered. "Honestly this isn't as scary as I thought it would be." Loco remarked, avoiding looking at the flowers with the creepy faces on them.

Nero Alice just shook her head, picking up the pace. "ᕼᑘSᕼ ᘉᓍᘺ, ᕼᓰᕲᘿ, ᗩᒪᒪ ᖻᓍᑘ ᒪᓰᖶᖶᒪᘿ ᓍᘉᘿS. ᖇᑘSᕼ ᘉᓍᘺ, ᓰᘉᖶᓍ ᖶᕼᘿ ᘻᓰᕲᕲᒪᘿ ᓍᖴ ᘉᓍᘺᕼᘿᖇᘿ. Sᓰᘉᘜᓰᘉᘜ ᗩᘉᕲ ᒪᗩᑘᘜᕼᖶᘿᖇ ᘺᓰᒪᒪ ᕲᓰᘿ." Loco froze, hearing distorted singing coming from all around them as the flowers started uprooting themselves - revealing monstrous versions of Nero Alice's toys connected to the bottoms of each steam.

"I SHOULDN'T HAVE OPENED MY MOUTH!" The brunette screamed, picking up the little girl in a football carry and started running - the 'toys' chasing after them as they ran down the rapidly narrowing corridors.

There were plenty of shadows to jump to.

Leberblume had no problem avoiding the things she saw as she hopped from one shadow to another - coming upon Magia Sulfur who was trapped inside a shack, she opened the door from the outside - the blonde falling backwards as the door was suddenly opened. "WHAT?" She shouted, looking around frantically before starting to run - Leberblume quickly hopped into Sulfur's shadow, deciding to see where she'd end up.

She couldn't flee from the guilt grasping at her chest.

Violet scrambled uphill, eyes wild and frantic - like a trapped animal, trying to run from the voices in her head - her chest ached. "Why did you leave me to die, Utena-Chan?~" A voice called out to her - it was too familiar. "IT WASN'T MY FAULT!" Violet screeched, turning a corner. "You just stood there and watched us die, why didn't you help us?" Two more voices chattered in unison. "THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO!" She yelled, sobbing.

She raced inside a small building, the inside was just as dark as the outside. "Why? Why didn't you save her?" Another voice - more disappointed than the last. "I TRIED TO! YOU GOT TO HER FIRST! I'M SORRY!" Violet wails, curling up into a ball on the floor. "Utena-Neesan?..." A small voice called out to her - Violet's heart clenched. "I'm so so sorry, Korisu..." She whispered.

"Did you have fun, Utena? Did you get everything out of your system? It was fun entertaining your little fantasy while it lasted."

A look of horror dawned on her face as she looked up at where the voice came from - a pair of bright, soulless yellow eyes stared at her from the darkness. "You... You're alive?! I thought you were dead!" Violet shouted, white hot anger bubbling up in her chest.

The thing moved forward - grinning as it tilted its head, its gangly, long legs bending at awkward angles - one crooked and long arm crossed over its chest - the tattered remains of its other arm hanging limply at its side, bat-like ears twitching atop its head - a crooked grin on its face.

"Is that any way to speak to an old friend, Hiiragi Utena?"

Violet shakes her head, glaring at them. "Why won't you just leave me alone? Haven't I suffered enough for your actions already, Venalita?" She asks, scowling - she was already tired of talking to this bitch and it hadn't even been two minutes yet since Venalita decided to show their ugly mug.

The disfigured evil mascot just tilts their head slightly, they probably would have frowned if they could - then gunshots rang out nearby, followed by screaming - lots of screaming, and the noises were quickly getting louder.

"That'd be my cue to leave, it was oh so fun to see you again, but this will not be the last time we meet."

Venalita retreated, disappearing into a portal just as the others charged into the center of the maze. "HOW THE FUCK IS THAT THING STILL ALIVE!?" Sulfur's voice was the first one she heard. "I DON'T FUCKING KNOW YOU FLAT-CHESTED BIMBO! I SHOT IT LIKE TWENTY TIMES IN THE DAMN FACE!" Leoparde screeched - the two of them tumbling down the slope into the center of the maze. "Honestly you two need to learn some new words." Leberblume snorted - rising up out of their tangled shadow.

Three more people soon followed. "I'll NEVER be able to look at flowers the same way ever again!" Loco Musica whines, flopping onto the ground - Nero Alice sitting on her back. Magenta just groaned, sitting down beside the brunette and blonde - rubbing her forehead.

Azul was soon to follow - the only one in her La Verita state, covered in black liquid and looking like she'd lost in a fight with a chainsaw and a grinder. "I have choices I need to rethink after that... I didn't know there was bondage that would be unenjoyable." She pouted, limping forward.

Sulfur inhaled. "SERIOUSLY!?" She shouts at her teammate, fuming. "CAN YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!?" Magenta yells - everyone went silent, heads snapping in her direction. "Whyyyy?" Baiser and Sulfur both sobbed.

Once everyone had calmed down, Enormeeta retreated - Tres Magia eventually found their own way out with Violet's assistance.

After Tres Magia exited the portal, they found themselves in Kaoruko's bedroom.

They spent the rest of the day trying to recover both mentally and physically after the ordeal inside that maze.

Two days later, 3pm - break room

Violet paced around anxiously after noticing the date on the calender. "I need you three to... Do me a really big favor, please?" She said, a serious but anxious look on her face. "It really depends on the favor, Violet, but we're happy to help." Haruka said, standing up from her seat at the table.

"Whatever happens tomorrow, you cannot give in to any of Baiser's taunts - no matter what they are." She insisted, a look of concern etched on her face. Kaoruko walked over to stand beside Violet. "We'll do our best, but those manky cockwaffles get on mah nerves real bad - so ah can't really go makin' a promise like that." The blonde said, squeezing Violet's shoulder.

Haruka nodded slowly. "I promise." She smiles gently, always thankful for Violet's insight. Sayo had her head down on the table - still nursing a bruise. "Mhm..." The teal-haired girl mumbled. "Thanks, there's... Something I need to do tomorrow, so I won't be able to come right away if something happens." Violet murmured, exhaling.

The Ugliest Flower Of Lust

Chapter Text

“I am your worst nightmare.” — Unknown

It all happened so fast, everything went wrong...

Baiser and Leopard kidnapped Magenta, just like they did back in Violet's timeline, Sulfur called them out on it - and now, here they were... Back in the field, fighting - and then, Baiser transformed...

She tried to stop it - tried to get her to come to her senses, but that bastard stopped her - Venalita forced her to watch, holding her by the head with their remaining hand - she couldn't look away...

Then, Magenta was transformed. "NO! NO! NO! LET ME GO!" Violet screamed, flailing against the restraints Venalita had put on her.

"You can't stop the inevitable, old friend - this is what must happen. You wanted to see them shine, didn't you? Now watch as everything you tried to prevent from happening again, comes full circle!"

She looked on in horror as history repeated itself - then she was sent flying - crashing into Magenta and Sulfur at a high enough speed that it almost broke her arm. Then, the Cheshire Doll appeared - snatching her up - running away from the battle with her and into the altered doll house, Nero Alice's hospital.

She lay on the bed it had deposited her on, barely able to move - everything was sore, craning her neck she could see Nemo and Matama wrapped up in bandages, along with Kiwi at the other end of the room - she grimaced, she hadn't known this is how those three ended up during this battle.

Everything hurt, and she was filled with anger - that skank Venalita had definitely done something to her Utena-Chan! She'll never forgive them!

Kiwi hadn't even noticed when one of Korisu's dolls had brought in Magia Violet - so, they had gotten her too? That sucks, not her problem though - her problem was that damn mascot of theirs had messed with her girlfriend and was getting away with it!

The blonde sniffles, clenching her fists. "Wow, was I like that? That's crazy." She heard a voice, her eyes going wide, glancing to where the noise came from - she could see a single cat-like eye staring at her from beneath Nemo's bed. "Chill out girl, why so freaked out?" The unknown figure chuckled - Kiwi shut her eyes, and when she opened them - whatever it was - was gone.

She breathed a sigh of relief, then noticed Nemo was glaring at her through her bandages, Kiwi slowly lifted a hand and flipped her off before letting her arm drop when Korisu came over holding a giant toy syringe.

Across the room the Cheshire Doll was patching up Violet, while a second Cheshire in poor condition idled in the corner.

Violet wondered where the second one came from, but decided she had better things to think about right now - like getting back out there to help Kaoruko, Sayo, and Haruka.

Nero Alice wandered over, climbing into the bed and put a bandaid on Violet's forehead, then patted her on the head. "Alice-Chan..." Violet whispered, eyes watering a little - the little girl just smiles, then walks away to continue treating Leberblume and Loco Musica.

She watched the little girl take care of the other members of Enormeeta - then came back over and got onto the bed beside her to take a quick nap, she was happy that Nero Alice was also kind in this world and hadn't changed at all from how she remembered her.

Several minutes passed before she was suddenly sent out of the hospital - it disappeared along with everyone else inside. Outside, she saw Tres Magia being talked to by the Shio Chans and hurried over - of the four of them, she was the only one still transformed.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" Kaoruko shouted the moment she got over there. "With Alice-Chan... In her hospital..." Violet murmured, flinching - glancing at the Shio Chans, who looked confused. "Since when were there four of you? I thought it was just you three." Pesca said, eyeing the girl who had appeared out of nowhere. "She's a part of a different team, she's currently the only one." Sayo murmured, exhausted.

"You three are pathetic, Magia Baiser is mine to defeat - don't get in my way." Imitato huffs, walking away with Berserga and Pesca following close behind - though Berserga seemed to be eyeing Violet. "Do you know those three, Violet?" Sayo asked. "Yeah, they seemed ta completely ignore ya, weren't interested in ya whatsoever." Kaoruko pointed out. "Oh... Yeah... Yes I do... Berserga is actually a friend of mine in her civilian life. She's really nice once you get past the whole Baiser thing..." Violet sighed, rubbing the back of her head.

The four of them trudged back home, exhausted. "So, where were you during our battle against Baiser? I know you were around, but why didn't you help?" Sayo asked softly. "Someone prevented me from intervening... An old 'acquaintance' is what I could call them... But I'd rather call them an old enemy." Violet admitted.

Elsewhere

After Utena started frothing from neural overload, Kiwi took her home - though, everywhere she looked - she still saw that cat-like eye in the shadows, and when she returned home, it was there too. "You really need to chill out girl, I'm not going to hurt you or your Utena-Chan, I'm just trying to find my girl, and I have a hunch one of you knows where she is." The thing in the darkness said. "Is this the kind of shit that Magia Violet was dealing with? Are you even fucking real?" Kiwi asked, agitated.

The thing stepped out of the darkness - it was wearing the same La Verita outfit as she did. "I'm as real as you are, Kiwi." It - no... Not it, she grinned - she had one eye, the other one - if it was even there, was covered by an eye patch - part of her torso wrapped in bandages, her smokey cat tail waving behind her. "What are you!?" Kiwi shouted, backing away.

"I am you."

End of Arc Two.

Next time on Gushing Realities Collide...

"So... There's two of you now?"

Chapter Text

"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak." — Alan Dundes

Kiwi sat down on her bed, trying to process everything she'd just been told - it was a lot to take in.

The older girl had detransformed - wearing a tattered and faded cardigan over a white crop top and black shorts and stomper boots, still wearing the eye patch. "What exactly happened to your face?" Kiwi asked softly. "I got a serious eye infection after a fight with some cunt called Brimstone, she knocked me the fuck out - then, when I woke up I met a mascot named Vera - she patched me up, gave me a transformation moon that allowed me to keep my original transformations - I can always change, but I doubt my girl would recognize me in something else." The taller blonde sighed - leaning back.

Kiwi groans softly - trying to rub her remaining two brain cells together to come up with a coherent thought. "Well, we certainly can't call you Kiwi - it'll get confusing." She points out, flopping onto her back. "You're handling this surprisingly well, I was definitely not that mature when I was as old as you." The taller girl laughs.

The two think for awhile - rubbing their now collective four brain cells together. "How about Ivy?" Kiwi's older self asked. "I think that works, we'll say you're my cousin if anyone asks." Kiwi suggests. "Works for me."

Come morning the two transformed and went to Nacht Base to meet with the others.

When Kiwi entered with a girl with similar hair to hers that was down to her middle back and dyed with a bright emerald green streak, they were understandably confused. "Sup babies." Ivy grinned, showing a chipped tooth - her shadowy tail flicking back and forth. "Kiwi... Who is she and why is she here?" Nemo asked with a groan. "I'm her cousin, Hyō Ivy - nice to meetcha baby shark."

Utena sat there - staring at the two of them for a moment before she got up out of her chair and immediately passed out with a nosebleed "Not again..." Kiwi sighed, picking up her girlfriend and carrying her to the couch.

"OH NO, SHE'S HOT!" Was Utena's last coherent thought before she passed out.

Matama just stares at Ivy - feeling a bit self conscious about her own body for the first time in a while, and Korisu was already climbing up the tall girl like she was a ladder - raising a fist in triumph when she managed to get up onto her shoulder. "I will accept this, just watch the bandages, Korisu." Ivy chuckled, walking over to the kid's seat and sat down - putting her on her lap.

The group was quiet. "So, are you joining us or something? I don't recognize your transformation item." Nemo pointed out, looking at Ivy's transformation moon on her military jacket. "Sort of, I'm already part of a team - but Kiwi is helping me look for... A lost friend of mine... Thought one of you might know where she went."

"We didn't kidnap her if that's what you think, we don't do that anymore!" Matama shouts, standing up. "Calm your tits songbird, I wasn't suggesting you girls did anything. I want to talk to your mascot." Ivy insists, tilting her head.

An hour later...

"You're both crackheads! Why are you like this!?" Matama shouts, their training grounds out back of Nacht Base were in ruins. "I'm just going to call you Commander Crackhead and Captain Asshole from now on..." Nemo sighed, walking back to the base - arms folded inside her top. "Aye, I think I like that name - Commander Crackhead." Ivy laughs.

Utena was watching the two - giggling with a huge grin on her face, mostly because Ivy had some pretty defined muscles and was hot in her opinion - then Venalita showed up to ruin the fun. "I see we have a new friend." The little mascot said, floating around Ivy for a moment. "I'm not your god damn friend you little bitch." Ivy said, glaring at the mascot. "No need to be so hasty, Korisu told me that you wanted a word?" The mascot said, having enough sense to back away.

Ivy tilts her head, leaning against a pile of rubble. "I figured you might have some information about a missing friend of mine, I know you've been in contact with that monster with the one arm - and I know for a fact that it definitely knows where she is, so you must also know. Spill, and make it snappy or I'll turn you into a cocksleeve for Baiser over there to use." She insists, reaching out and grabbing the mascot with her hand. "Okay okay I'll talk!" Venalita could tell she was serious. "But first... You have to do something for me." Venalita says, grinning once more.

Later...

The Commander and Enormeeta lay in wait to ambush the magical girls - waiting among the trees while Nero Alice sat out in the open with some of her toys as bait. "Remind me again why we're using a literal child as live bait?" Ivy asked, looking at Kiwi. "Magenta always comes when she thinks Nero Alice might go after civilians. She tends to be more unpredictable than Baiser-Chan."

Magenta quickly arrived as people started running in panic from the dolls. "Alice-Chan please... Stop... You're better than this!" Magenta begged, but the little blonde merely smiled as the Cheshire Cats dragged Magenta into the doll house as it materialized behind her.

Azul soon followed - just as easily captured as Magenta was, and then Sulfur and Violet were next - Sulfur was transformed into Blitz Engel, but both of them were quickly captured as well. "Well... You know what to do, Ivy." Baiser said softly, glancing up at the older girl.

She marched into the doll house.

She looked down at her outfit - it was an altered cop uniform with booty shorts and a crop top with a necktie that went down to her naval. "I forgot how much we influenced that kid." She murmurs, heading into the first interrogation room - Azul was chained on top of the table on her stomach.

Ivy leans against the wall. "So, what can you tell me about the new member of your team?" She asks, staring at the teal-haired heroine. "I don't have to tell you anything, you won't make me talk." Azul huffed, shutting her eyes. "Well, guess we'll have to do this the hard way." She grins, taking out a baton - twirling it around with her hand.

She brings the baton down on Azul's ass in quick, rapid strikes across both cheeks - making Azul cry out from a mix of pain and pleasure. "WHY CAN'T YOU KEEP YOUR ASS STILL!? GOD!" Ivy shouts, bonking Azul on the head with the baton. "If you keep moving I'm going to blow shrapnel in your intestinal tract." She huffs, then walks around in front of her. "Start talking."

She ended up getting nothing from Azul.

She strolled into the next room, it was dark and cold - Sulfur was chained to the wall, spread eagle and a mannequin was tickling her - she was wheezing, laughing, and crying. "N-No! S-S-Stop it!" Sulfur squealed, squirming against the restraints. "Alright bud, lay off." Ivy chuckles, waving the mannequin away. "Alright blondie, what can you tell me about the new member of your team?" She pressed, holding up the feather.

Sulfur glared at her. "Ah'm not tellin' ya shit! Ya fucking big mouthed fat assed cocksuckin' SKANK! " She spat. "Oh quite the mouth on you, but... If you don't talk - well, you've already met Mister Tickles, isn't that right?" Ivy grins, looking to the mannequin and passing it the feather. "DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME, BITCH!" Sulfur shrieks, struggling against the restraints. "THEN START TALKING!" Ivy shouts, losing her patience already. "FUCK YOU!"

Since she wasn't getting anywhere with Sulfur, she moved on to Magenta next - sending Mister Tickles after Sulfur.

She sat down in the chair across from Magenta - who was handcuffed to the table. "Alright, now... You're a reasonable little lady, aren't you Miss Magenta?" She asks, smiling gently. "I-I guess I am..." Magenta stammered, looking nervous - not meeting the taller girl's gaze - instead staring at the posters of kittens on the walls.

Ivy nodded. "Alright... This will all be over much more quickly if you just tell me what I want to know, understand?" She asks, standing back up and circling around the table. "Now, what can you tell me about Magia Violet? Ivy questions, squeezing Magenta's shoulder gently. "The sooner you answer, the sooner this will all be over."

Magenta hesitated. "Promise?" She asked softly, looking up at the taller girl. "I promise." Ivy says, sitting back down. "Well... She suddenly showed up one day, Vatz picked her up in an alleyway. She already knew what was going on, sometimes she gives me insight on things that might happen - she's always kind of sad though... She's had a rough life from what Sulfur has told me, Violet tells Sulfur everything - she helps keeps her emotions in check." Magenta explained slowly. "During... Something that happened the other day - I don't recall exactly what it was - she was with Alice-Chan for a while." She continued.

"Okay, I know you probably won't like this - but I'm gonna need you to come with me and get Sulfur to talk. Is that okay with you?" She got up again. "I'll do my best..." Magenta murmurs - Ivy leads her back to the dark room and takes her inside. "Alright that's enough out of you bud." Ivy said - dragging the mannequin out.

Things were quiet for several minutes, she started to get concerned.

When she went back in, the two of them were huddled in the corner - whispering.

Ivy's face was set in a hard line as she locked them in there, stomping back to where she had left Azul. "Alright baby blue, if you don't talk I'll have to take some drastic measures - and then everyone else will be having fun while I have to leave you out of it. Even Baiser won't come play with you." Ivy says - untying Azul and locking the door behind her as she left.

The teal-haired heroine looked on in horror. "Wait! No! Come back! Don't leave me out! MISTRESS BAISER! PLEASE!" Azul cried out, banging on the door. "COME BACK! I NEED TO BE PUNISHED!" Azul whines. "Sorry, but if you're not going to help - then Baiser won't be coming to play with you baby blue." Ivy grins, shutting the blinds and walking away.

She could still hear Azul begging through the door, she stood outside listening for a bit before opening the door again and walking back inside. "The sooner you talk the sooner you can get out of here and see Baiser." Ivy grins, holding up her phone.

Azul scrambled over - hugging Ivy's legs. "I'll do anything!" She begged. "Anything, you say?" The blonde smirks, taking holding of the baton and tapping it against her palm. "Now, tell me what I want to know, what do you know about Magia Violet?" Ivy asked.

Azul cracked a little bit that day.

When Ivy returned, Baiser slapped her hard across the face. "HOW DARE YOU! Y-YOU CAN'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN, DO YOU HEAR ME!?" She shouted, shaking Ivy by the collar of her jacket. "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT AND DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU'RE READY TO APOLOGIZE!" Baiser hissed, shoving her away. "Whatever, I got what Venalita wanted - now I can get what I came for." Ivy rolled her eyes.

Leopard watched her go, disappointed. "I hope I'm not like that when I grow up.. Promise you'll never go and leave me behind, Baiser-Chan!" She whines, tackling her Utena in a hug. "You two are such a mess." Leberblume groans.

Nero Alice yawned loudly, she was exhausted after holding this place together for nearly two hours. "You can let them go now, we're done here." Loco said, picking up the small blonde.

Once they were free - they found Azul lying mostly naked and face down on the ground - covered in multiple bruises and drooling all over herself. "You have got to be fucking kiddin' me..." Sulfur groaned, face palming. "I-I'm sure she tried her best, Sulfur-Chan..." Magenta murmurs, grimacing. "Lets just take her home and get some rest..." She added, sighing.

Nacht Base

Ivy stood in front of the mascot after handing them the notes. "I did what you asked, now tell me where she is!" Ivy shouts, ready to throttle the little creature at any moment. "You will find her at this location." Venalita said, taking a map with a marked location out of her sleeve. "Good. I won't turn you into a washcloth, not yet anyway." Ivy grumbles, opening a portal and leaving.

"We'll see how that works out for you, Araga Kiwi."

"Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey." – Lord Byron

Ivy stood outside the store, wondering if that little bitch had been pulling her leg, but regardless - she pulled open the door and went inside - the noise of the AC and soft music reached her ears as she entered the building, she glanced around warily.

She stood there for a moment, then wandered around the store - deciding to do a bit of shopping real quick for some snacks, heading up to the counter and then stopped dead in her tracks, breath catching in her throat. "Is it... Is it really you?" Ivy whispered, eye watering and heart pounding as she stared at the woman behind the counter.

The purple-haired girl just stared at her for a few seconds. "Kiwi?" Violet called out softly, perking up - eyes lighting up as she met Ivy's gaze. "You're alive!" She shouted, jumping over the counter and tackling Ivy just how Ivy used to tackle her - nearly knocking her over.

The two embraced each other tightly. "I've missed you so much!" Violet sobbed, clutching Ivy's cardigan tightly - hiccuping softly. "Me too, babes... Me too..." Ivy whispered - sniffling, pulling Violet's head against her chest - gently leading her to the break room and sitting down. "I've made a lot of questionable choices to get here, I hope you don't mind it - finding you was the only thing on my mind."

They stayed like that for a while, Michiko manning the register - Randa sleeping on the couch nearby - and the two of them embracing one another, Violet had never been so happy to be squeezed this hard. "I've missed having you in my arms, you know? I never stopped looking for you." Ivy admits.

"Can't you two just go home?" Randa groans, sitting up a little bit. "I'm trying to take a nap..." She yawns and lays back down. "I have to get back to work - I'll meet you at the park later once I'm off, okay?" Violet whispered, smiling gently - Ivy just nodded, going outside after making her purchase. "Oh, and just so you know - I go by Ivy in public." She winks.

A few hours later

Ivy sat on the bench - watching Haruka playing with some kids, Kaoruko sitting beside her - the two seemed uncomfortable. "So... Violet lives with you?" Ivy asks the small blonde. "Ya? So what?" Kaoruko scowled. "Don't be so sour,  I'm an old friend of hers from back home." Ivy huffed, already fed up with Kaoruko's attitude.

Kaoruko perked up. "Really?" She asks. "We were practically dating, course she was just too shy to admit it." The taller girl grinned widely. "Ah, yer the one she's been having the nightmares about lately.." Kaoruko murmured, glancing away. "Nightmares?" Ivy asked, concerned. "Yeah... She hasn't been doing all too well lately, trouble sleepin' and whatnot." The shorter blonde admitted..

Violet walks into the park at a brisk pace. "Hey Kaoruko-Chan! Haruka-Chan! Good afternoon!" She shouts, striding over with a big grin on her face. "Hey there lil sis! Ah just met a friend of yours." Kaoruko said with a smile - standing up and hugging her tightly. Ivy worried her lip between her teeth, eye narrowed - blood rushing loudly in her ears as this version of Kaoruko put her grubby hands on her Utena-Chan.

She resisted the urge to throw a fit - just crossing her arms. "Ivy!" Violet shouts, and then tackles her off the bench and onto the ground - it felt like she'd just been hit by a bus for a second, then she laughed. "Is this how I made you feel when I did that?" Ivy grinned from ear to ear, giving a toothy smirk before she started laughing.

"Hm, they really do know each other - thought she was bluffin' for a moment." Kaoruko remarks, looking to Haruka. "I haven't seen Violet this happy since... Well, when she was shopping for magical girl merch - even then, she wasn't this excited." The pink-haired girl giggled, she was glad - she, as well as Kaoruko, knew very well that Violet had been sad for a long time - this was a very welcome change.

The two older girls waved to the younger pair and started off for the Araga house. "So, your mini-me knows about you being the older version of her?" Violet asked quietly, holding Ivy's hand tightly as they walked side by side for the first time in what felt like forever. "Yep, she's been really mature about it though." Ivy hums, opening the front door.

They went to the room Ivy was staying in, sitting down on the bed as the clock struck five. "You know, there's something I've been wanting to do for a long time..." Ivy whispers, one arm wrapped around Violet's waist. "What would that be?" Violet asks, smiling shyly. "Kiss you, duh." She laughs, then Violet kissed her - her jaw dropped, face heating up as a bright red blush rose from her neck to her cheeks - heart pounding rapidly in her chest, a little bit of blood dripping from her nose as she sat there in shock.

"That. Was. Amazing."

"YOU TWO BETTER NOT BE SHAGGING EACH OTHER IN THERE!" Kiwi yells.

"YOU'RE NOT OUR MOM!" Ivy shouts back.

Next time on Gushing Realities Collide...

Alone At Last.

Chapter Text

I'm running out of ideas of quotes to look for.

Kaoruko had never run so fast in her life - her muscles ached and her lungs burned as she ran from that thing she had seen outside Violet's apartment a while back.

She was unable to transform, as she had foolishly left her transformation item in her bag - which she had dropped when the creature started chasing her.

She didn't even realize the thing was no longer chasing her until she ran into Fallen Medic - now, she had a new problem - that being dealing with the naughty alter ego of her girlfriend - which seemed to lack certain morals in favor of being rather lewd, and doing lewd things to people - specifically, herself.

The Fallen Medic smiled gently, grabbing Kaoruko's hand. "Are you hurt?... Do you need medical attention, Kao-Chan?~" She all but purred, eyes lidded with a playful smirk on her face. "N-No, I'm perfectly fine!" Kaoruko stammered, face flushed bright red as she tried to back away from the Fallen Medic - but she kept stride with her until she had the blonde backed up against a wall.

"I think the bruises on your arms and face say otherwise my love." Fallen Medic giggles, licking her lips - a full body shudder ran up and down Kaoruko's petite frame, looking up at her girlfriend as she leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. "I'm so happy we're alone this time~ with no one to interrupt your treatment." She smirked.

Her body felt hot as the Fallen Medic's hand slid under her top - moving up toward her chest, her skin tingling from the seemingly erotic contact. "W-Wait, don't touch that!" Kaoruko cried out as Fallen Medic's cold glove came in contact with her bare breast. "Ah! Cold!" She yelped, squirming a little as the cold touch sent jolts through her nerves. "Oh, I'm sorry Kao-Chan - I forgot how sensitive your cute little breasts are." The Fallen Medic giggled again, removing her hand.

She brought her gloved hand up to her mouth and slowly pulled her glove off using her teeth, gently blowing on her fingers to warm them up before slipping her hand back under Kaoruko's shirt. "Don't be so nervous~ come on, loosen up a little... I don't want to be the only one enjoying this." Fallen Medic whispered - gently nibbling on the blonde's ear, causing her to squeak out a soft moan - panting a little.

The Fallen Medic took off her other glove and slid that hand into Kaoruko's shorts, her fingers ghosting over Kaoruko's soft, warm folds - sending more jolts across her nerves and spasms along her spine, her face felt like it was on fire - her chest tightening up as she gasped for air - feeling her bare fingers prodding against her slit.

Kaoruko moaned softly - unintentionally grinding down against those teasing fingers. "I knew you'd come around in time." Fallen Medic whispered, exhaling against Kaoruko's ear. "I'll be gentle - I promise~ but first... Let's go back to your place." She grins, picking Kaoruko up bridal style and taking off.

Kaoruko's house, five minutes later

Fallen Medic touched down in front of the house - opening the door with a key and walking inside, Kaoruko's bag slung over her shoulder - then leads Kaoruko to the bedroom. "Is your 'little sis' home?" She asked softly. "N-No, she's w-with Ivy." Kaoruko stammered - then Fallen Medic gently pushed her onto the bed.

She slipped one breast through the gap in the middle of her outfit, offering her bare tit to Kaoruko as she sat down beside her - the blonde hesitated for a moment - licking her suddenly dry lips before latching on to the offered teat and starting to gently suck. "Good girl... That's it, just relax and let Mama Magenta take care of you~"

The Fallen Medic exhaled softly, then slid one hand down Kaoruko's body - slipping her shorts down and prodding at her glistening folds through her panties. "Do you mind if I take these off as well? Or would you rather I leave them on?" She asked softly, Kaoruko gave a muffled response and shook her head - lifting her hips up again and allowing the pinkette to slip her panties off - fingers gliding against her bare pussy.

She grins - feeling the blonde's sucking become more frenzied - she pinched Kaoruko's clit gently, eliciting a sharp gasp and a shudder from the blonde, Fallen Medic blushed a little - then grins widely - enjoying the little noises that she is teasing out of her beloved Kaoruko.

Slowly, she slid her ring finger inside the blonde's slit - being gentle and taking it slow, eventually adding a second finger. "You're doing so well, Kao-Chan~" She praised her, stroking the back of Kaoruko's head as she felt her pussy tighten up around her fingers - gently pulling her off her right breast to offer her the other one, a few beads of milk still clinging to her right nipple.

She let out a surprised squeak when Kaoruko's teeth grazed over her nipple - curling her fingers tightly, blushing bright red - her pulse racing as the blonde suddenly pushed her down and yanked her dress up. "Kao-Chan?" She mumbles, eyes wide as Kaoruko latched back on to her breast and began sucking with a fervor. "Kaoruko!" Fallen Medic cried out - her back arching.

Kaoruko reached down and shoved two fingers into the Fallen Medic's sopping wet cunt - rapidly finger-fucking her to a quick climax. "R-Revenge..." Kaoruko mumbles against the pinkette's breast flesh - then the Fallen Medic rolled them over, settling between Kaoruko's legs and gently pressing her lips against her pussy and slipping her tongue inside.

The blonde cried out - her entire body felt like it was on fire from a sensory overload, her thoughts going a mile a minute - jumbled and somewhat incoherent as she writhed on her bed, grinding her pussy against Fallen Medic's face - completely lost in the sensations of the cold air against her hot skin and the Fallen Medic's - no, Magenta's tongue and lips pressing against her cunt - her throat parched and feeling a little dizzy from the sudden europhia washing over her as she was brought to orgasm, eyes rolling back as she passed out.

Magenta's transformation fell away without warning - she regained control her body, but didn't move - her face still buried between Kaoruko's thighs, she did eventually sit up and grab a tissue to wipe her face and chin of Kaoruko's pussy juice - blushing bright red. "I cannot believe you did that..." She mumbles to herself. "Oh come on, you enjoyed that as much as I did." The reflection of Fallen Medic in the mirror giggled.

She grabbed some tissues and started wiping down Kaoruko's lower body, then covered her with a blanket. "Rest well, Kaoruko." Haruka whispers, laying down beside her girlfriend and went to sleep.

Next time on Gushing Realities Collide...

A lot of things are happening all at the same time.

Chapter Text

“When all else fails, there’s always delusion.” – Conan O’Brien

Kiwi sat across from Korisu as they were having a little tea party - the two cheshire cat dolls idling nearby.

Kiwi clears her throat. "So... Where'd the other one come from?" She gestured to the one in poor shape - Korisu holds up a whiteboard. "'It just showed up one day'? So you really have no clue where it came from?" Kiwi asks, feeling a bit concerned - then she thought back to Ivy, and how the girl was just her but older - could the second doll have come from the same place as her and whoever it was she'd been looking for?

She sat there, contemplating this thought when Matama came storming into the room - followed shortly after by Nemo. "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" Matama shouts. "Babes, come on! It was an accident, I swear!" Nemo pleaded with the brunette.

The two seemed to be fighting about something, Kiwi couldn't figure out what though - not like it was any of her business anyway, she brought one hand up to the collar she was wearing - trying to fight the blush on her face when she noticed Korisu was eyeing the collar with a questioning look.

Baiser ambled on into the room with a playful grin on her face, holding a leash - she strode over to Kiwi and Korisu, attached the leash to Kiwi's collar and pulled gently. "Up." Kiwi obeyed, crawling over on her hands and knees. "Good kitty." Baiser grinned widely. Korisu made a face then proceeded to walk away - not wanting to be involved in this, or in Nemo and Matama's drama - the cheshire dolls picking up the tea set and following her.

Elsewhere

Kaoruko was sitting on her bed, contemplating her life decisions - she was bare from the waist down, and had woken up with her girlfriend Haruka in bed with her - with no idea what happened and barely remembering coming home after running from that freaky thing in town.

Violet leaned against the door frame - Ivy standing next to her. "Looks like you two had quite the bit of fun." The tall blonde snickered, Violet just smiled. "I'm glad you two are happy, but could you maybe put your shorts on?" She asked, gesturing to Kaoruko's previously discarded underwear and shorts.

"Can ya both get out!?" Kaoruko shouted, flustered.

Minakami Shrine

Sayo sat alone on a smooth stone in front of the waterfall - after finding out Violet actually had a girlfriend, she was now the only member of her team who was single - she couldn't have Mistress Baiser, Baiser definitely wouldn't allow that, she wouldn't dare dream of being with Leoparde after the incident where she built a house of cards on her bare ass.

She couldn't be with Violet, and that sucked a lot - Haruka and Kaoruko were happy together, she didn't want to ruin that... It seemed that she was destined to be alone forever.

"OW! Merde alors!" Sayo was startled from her pitiful revere as someone tripped and fell into the river - landing face down in the water, she ran over to help them up. "Are you alright?" The teal-haired shrine maiden asked - helping the stranger to her feet. "Oui, merci." The auburn-haired girl said, she had a few cuts on her face and some leaves in her hair but otherwise she seemed okay.

Sayo brought the girl back to the shrine and patched her up. "I don't think I've seen you around here before, what's your name?" She asks, setting down the towel. "It's Camélia, Camélia Faure." The auburn-haired girl - Camélia - said, smiling. "I'm Minakami Sayo, and this is my family shrine. What brings you to Sendai?" Sayo asks, putting a bandage on Camélia's cheek. "Transfer student, and... Sole survivor of Quatre Fleurs..." She murmurs.

It took Sayo a few moments to register the name before she realized she had heard it from Vatz before - they had mentioned three members of a magical girl group from Paris, France that had perished in the fight against evil - leaving behind a single member, Magia Rose.

After a few seconds of deliberation, Sayo realized that Camélia was Magia Rose - just as Vatz floated in through an open window. "I see you've met Sayo, that's good - next time don't run off like that while I'm explaining, please..." The mascot sighed. "Anyway, Sayo is a member of Tres Magia, you'll be joining Magia Violet - she'll be your team leader, but for the time being I'd like you to stay with Sayo." Vatz said, holding up a little wing-arm. "I-If that's okay with you that is!" Vatz added, with a panicked look as they turned to Sayo.

She nods. "I think we really need an actual base at some point, what with the group expanding." The teal-haired heroine remarks, tilting her head - sending a telepathic message to Kaoruko about the new member.

Back at Nacht Base

Baiser gently strokes Kiwi's hair, practically petting her. "I know things have been rough lately... We'll get past it. Won't we, kitten?" She teased, playing with the shadowy cat ears on the blonde's head - Kiwi just smiles, lost in a daze.

Venalita floated over to Baiser and Leoparde. "I just thought I should let you know, there's been a sighting of yet another new magical girl." The mascot grins, interrupting the two's pet play - Leoparde pulls out her derringer. "I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOU!" She shouted, aiming the gun at Venalita - who quickly retreated through a portal.

When Leoparde looked back, Baiser was gone too. "Aw come on!" She whines.

Magia Rose had a streak of rose red in her auburn hair, with light pink in place of white, and her hair was in a single braid - adorned with the flower which was her namesake, her magia heart was situated on the side of her head with a red bow - short gloves, and heeled ruby red boots with white stockings under a red skirt adorned with an intricate pattern in black.

She floated next to Magia Azul - staring next to the broken item that had concealed them in Tres Magia's training grounds - Baiser appearing out of a portal a moment later, eyes sparkling with barely disguised excitement. "I see you have brought a new friend, my beloved Magia Azul! I'm so happy to have a new playmate." The villainess giggled - drooling a little.

Camélia looks at Sayo, concerned. "This is who you were talking about right? She seems kind of like a pervert."

To be continued...

Chapter Text

La Verita

Ones truest self embodied

Baiser had captured Tres Magia just last evening, knocked out Magia Rose and Violet - and royally pissed off Jaguar d'Ombre in the process, so now even Ivy was trying to beat her ass into the next decade.

When she wondered how exactly it was that she got to this point, she realized it all started after Berserga's public execution, obtaining La Verita, getting her ass whooped by Imitato, fighting Azul...

Ok, so - this was all Ruin's fault.

How she came to that conclusion was that all of this could have been avoided if Ruin hadn't brought Violet and Ivy here, then absolutely none of this would have happened! Right?

Regardless, now she was fighting both Rose and Violet by herself - Leberblume, Matama, Nero Alice, and even Leoparde were all caught up with holding off Jaguar d'Ombre in her powered up state.

She used her Frustra Dominaze and sent multiple Schiavos after Rose - which practically incapacitated her, now all that was left was Magia Violet, who...

Oh shit.

The next thing Baiser knew, she was crashing through yet another brick wall - in the very same construction site from before, where Baiser also happened to be keeping Tres Magia hostage. "I've had enough of your bullshit, kiddo! I have seen history repeat itself over and over and OVER again because of you and Venalita! And I have had ENOUGH!" She yells, summoning thick, thorny vines from beneath the hard earth.

"I thought we would be the same, I thought nothing would change this time.. I tried to stop the bad things from happening, BUT YOU! YOU JUST KEPT GOING!" Violet shouted, tears rolling down her face. "You took my friends... You hurt Rose... You've constantly tortured me... Well, I think I'm ready to level the playing field..." Violet said - landing on top of one of the metal beams.

"La Verita."

She transformed - her outfit morphed into a short, combat versatile dress in multiple hues of lavender and violet, combat boots in place of the regular magical girl shoes - a white, five pointed star on the stomach of the dress and a pair of white wings sprouting from her back with lavender growing between the feathers, the lavenders on her head turned into violets - summoning a great sword with a dark purple handle and white blade.

Magia Violet, the Floral Valkyrie.

Then she was sent hurtling into the air like a baseball after Violet used the great sword like a baseball bat.

Violet cut open the metal cage with her great sword - wings keeping her in the air as she pulled each of them out, all of them were injured - next, she went and checked on Rose - she had been knocked out by the Schiavos.

She took them all back to base in a pocket dimension her lovely Ivy had created for her, when asked where it had come from - she told them she had a little help from a friend, opening a window between the pocket dimension and the outside world - showing them Jaguar d'Ombre in her powered up state fighting against the rest of Neo Enormeeta.

No one said anything for a moment, but then Sulfur cleared her throat - looking a little nervous. "So... There is a chance that... I might be pregnant... Baiser lost control of her powers last night... I really don't think she meant to do it, she doesn't even remember it happened - I... I gotta go." The blonde said, then left through the open portal - going home in a hurry, leaving behind her shocked teammates.

"I think I'm gonna be sick..."

End of Arc Three.

"It is wise to direct your anger towards problems - not people; to focus your energies on answers - not excuses." - William Arthur Ward.

Kaoruko sat on her bed - knees to her chest as she stared down at floor, she didn't want to think about what happened - but if she wanted to explain to her girlfriend and her friends, then she had to remember everything - no matter how much her mind protested.

She closes her eyes and does her best to recall what transpired...

Baiser wandered into the room where she kept Sulfur contained - seeming disoriented, taking shaky steps as she moved toward the exhausted magical girl who was laying under the blanket on the bed, trying to rest in spite of being somewhere she didn't know - trying to ignore the dread creeping in as she heard the clicking of Baiser's heels on the floor.

The villainess reached down - using some strange power she caused her body to form a new appendage, which quickly sprang to life as her usual perverse thoughts swam through her head - the way she moved seemed almost mechanical, unnatural...

She yanked the blanket off of Sulfur - summoning two sets of handcuffs and binding her wrists to the bed posts, her back to the ceiling - forcing her to be on her knees, she was too exhausted to make a remark - all her energy already having been sapped when she tried to fight back before she was captured.

She could still feel the phantom sensation of how the cold metal of those cuffs bit into her wrists...

Baiser hadn't given her anything to wear after the battle - so she'd been left bare save for her underwear, nothing but a black lace thong to cover her - embarrassment coursing through her veins, she'd been wearing them for her date with Haruka - yet here she was, exposed for only Baiser's eyes to see.

"So mature~" The villainess purred, her hands squeezing the blonde's perky rear - fingers digging in to her pale flesh. "So... Beautiful..." Baiser whispered, her breath hot against Sulfur's ear - causing her to flinch. "Stop... You don't... Do this... Stop it..." Sulfur said through gritted teeth, trying to bring the enemy back to her senses.

Baiser didn't respond to her words.

Baiser leans over Sulfur's back - her hands gliding up the blonde's sides to cup her petite breasts, Sulfur flinched. "You're very sensitive... Aren't you, my sweet Sulfur?~" Baiser was teasing her now - she could feel the large and fleshy appendage rubbing against her ass cheeks.

Sulfur shuddered weakly, then with dawning horror she realized what the villainess was planning to do to her - using what little energy she had left to fight against her restraints - then, she felt the tip of that appendage pressing against her nethers.

She remembered vividly the sensation of white hot pain in her loins...

She let out a muted cry of shock - a few tears running down her cheeks as Baiser settled with her hips against her rear. "Oh... That's good..." She giggled, then she began to slowly pull back before slamming her hips forward with a resounding slap as their bodies collided.

Her whole body ached as Baiser's rough treatment continued, she could feel the villainess tensing up against her backside. "Good girl, Sulfur~" She whispered - biting into her ear as the appendage twitched and pulsed inside of Sulfur's wet tunnel.

She remembered the feeling of fullness, and how desperate she'd been for it to finally be over.

Baiser went completely still, sitting up and shaking her head. "What just happened?... How did I get here?" She mumbled, then looked down. "Oh. OH NO. NO NO NO NO!" Baiser shrieked, tumbling backward off the bed and hitting the floor. "I-I'm so sorry, Sulfur-Chan!" She stammered, and quickly left - feeling horrifically ashamed of herself...

It hadn't exactly been all bad, per say - after knowing Magia Baiser wasn't in control - she couldn't really blame her for something she had no control over.

Still, she could feel the aches that had been left behind - the cloying stickiness of the white liquid drying on her inner thighs...

She got into the shower, trying to wash away the remnants of the physical memory.

"Always keep a-hold of Nurse, for fear of finding something worse." — Hillaire Belloc

Haruka quietly followed Violet into the house, both were equally nervous and concerned about how Kaoruko was doing.

Haruka knocked lightly on the door. "Kaoruko-Chan? Can I come in?" She asked softly, Violet walking past her and into her own room - Kaoruko didn't respond right away, but she did eventually open the bathroom door and allow Haruka to come inside.

Kaoruko was sitting on the bathroom rug, soaking wet from the shower - wrapped up in a fluffy towel, gaze hollow as she looked down at the floor. "I'm sorry... I should have been with you, I shouldn't have let her separate us..." Haruka murmured, sitting down and hugging the blonde tightly.

She sniffles, hiccuping softly. "It's not yer fault..." Kaoruko mumbles, burying her face in Haruka's chest. "Do you want to talk about it? I'm not going anywhere..." The pinkette murmured, holding the blonde close - wanting to take away all the pain that Kaoruko felt. "M-Maybe... Ah just... Want to stay like this for a little while..." The blonde whispered, leaning into Haruka's embrace.

Haruka head a soft giggle from the bathroom mirror. "I think we both know how to make her feel better." The Fallen Medic's reflection grins, but Haruka just shook her head - Kaoruko didn't need lust, she needed comfort.

Kaoruko cried into Haruka's chest for a few minutes, eventually feeling well enough to tell her what had happened - not going into detail, but telling her enough to understand what happened. "Ah'm so sorry... If ya don't want to be with me anymore ah will understand..." Kaoruko said quietly.

Haruka huffs, squeezing Kaoruko a little. "What are you talking about? It wasn't your fault, and I won't blame you for what happened! I'm not leaving you, I already told you that!" She insists, hoisting her up and carrying her to the bedroom. "I am staying right here until you feel better!" She added, putting Kaoruko on the bed and flopping down beside her.

She sat there - still wrapped up in the towel, Haruka laying beside her - pouting a little bit. "Thanks..." Kaoruko murmurs, slowly getting up and putting some clothes on - just a pair of light pajamas and basic underwear - laying down on the bed beside her girlfriend once she was dressed.

The two lay there on the bed, Haruka holding Kaoruko tight as the blonde leaned into the embrace - accepting the comfort she was offered. "So, we're just going to cuddle her then?" The Fallen Medic asked from the mirror - Haruka just makes a face and refocused her attention on Kaoruko - stroking her hair and kissing her forehead, one arm wrapped around her.

Silently she swore up and down that no matter what happened, she'd support Kaoruko.

Nacht Base

Utena sat on her bed - her face bruised and body trembling as she cried. "I'M A TERRIBLE PERSON, KIWI! I DID UNSPEAKABLE THINGS TO MAGIA SULFUR! I'M UNWORTHY TO BE THEIR VILLAIN!" She wailed loudly, Kiwi sitting beside her - looking uncomfortable. "I don't think you did that stuff on purpose - you just got up out of bed last night and were acting really weird." She tried to calm her down - it wasn't really working...

She kept rambling on and on about it, disgusted and upset with herself - Kiwi eventually had enough and shoved a ball gag in Utena's mouth, effectively putting her on mute. "There were go, you don't get to talk bad about my precious Utena-Chan like that." She insists, proud of herself.

Utena just stares at her. "It was the only thing I could think of short of losing my own cool." Kiwi said, staring right back at her. "Now, I think you just need to rest and stop thinking about this stuff." She murmurs, squeezing Utena tightly against her chest. "I'll be here when you wake up, I promise." She added, taking the gag out of Utena's mouth and bringing her into a laying position on the bed.

Elsewhere...

Camélia had her eyes closed - sitting on the large flat rock beside Sayo, meditation was doing wonders for the rage boiling deep within her core - Sayo was coaching her gently to help clear her mind and distract her from her anger as well.

The two of them had been getting along great so far - all things considered.

After a while, Camélia opened her eyes. "So... That stuff is a normal occurrence for Tres Magia?" She asks, a serious expression on her face. "It hasn't been for a while, we've had some decisive victories since Violet joined the team - things just recently took a turn for the worst..." Sayo admitted, frowning.

She tilts her head. "Jaguar d'Ombre is definitely an interesting character, looks a lot like that one chick called Leoparde." The auburn-haired girl remarked. "I think it's just a coincidence, like how Violet and Utena have similar personalities - they're completely different people." Sayo said in response, standing up.

Tenkawa House

Violet held her phone to her ear, listening to Ivy ramble about how mad she was at Kiwi for letting Utena get away with what she'd done - she knew Ivy was only angry on her behalf though, at least one of them had to be level headed. "Do you want me to come over? I'm not busy right now." She offered, getting a definitive 'yes' before the call ended.

She got up and went to Kaoruko's room. "Hey, Haruka-Chan - I'm going over to Kiwi and Ivy's house for a bit, you okay to stay here alone with Kaoruko?" She asks, leaning against the door frame. "Yeah, we'll be fine here by ourselves." Haruka murmured, still holding Kaoruko in her embrace.

Hopefully things would get better...

Next time on Gushing Realities Collide...

"The pain goes away after some time."

Chapter Text

"Lost time is never found again." – Benjamin Franklin.

Kaoruko hadn't left the house in two weeks, two weeks of avoiding any kind of interaction with the outside world - not joining in the battles against Enormeeta.

She just hadn't been feeling well enough for it...

Haruka quietly walked into the house, carrying a 'get well soon' card from Sayo and Camélia, as well as one from Utena and Korisu - Violet had been out of the house pretty often due to work, and also dates with Ivy - so it had just been Kaoruko alone in the house most of the time.

She knocked gently on the door before entering the bedroom - setting her bag down just inside the door before walking over to the bed where Kaoruko was laying curled up beneath the blanket. "Morning Kaoruko, I brought lunch - even if it is ten in the morning." She murmured, sitting down on the edge of the bed and holding out a bento box to the blonde.

Kaoruko slowly sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Thanks..." She said softly - opening the bento box and beginning to eat, and Haruka shifted around where she was sitting. "I also got that thing you asked for, if you still want to check." Haruka spoke in a gentle tone, placing the box between them on the bed.

The blonde just nodded, and when she had her fill - she picked up the box and went to the bathroom, looking for all the world like a kicked puppy. Haruka packed up the rest of the bento and waited outside the bathroom for Kaoruko to come out - after several minutes she opened the door, as white as a sheet - shaking like a leaf.

Haruka hugged her tightly. "It's going to be okay..." She whispers, holding Kaoruko close as the blonde started to weep into her shoulder. "We can check again, it could be a false positive." She suggested before pulling back a bit, looking into Kaoruko's blue eyes. "Do you want me to come in and wait with you this time?" She asks, to which the blonde just nods a little.

The two go back in - with Haruka sitting on the floor facing toward the door, Kaoruko washed her hands and sat down back to back with the pinkette. "Do you want to talk about it?" Haruka asked softly. "No..." Kaoruko insisted as Haruka turned around to pull Kaoruko so she was sitting between her legs - chest to back and hugging her gently.

They waited there on the floor for four minutes. "Do you want me to check it?" Haruka asks, stroking Kaoruko's hair - she nodded, moving to let the pinkette stand up - she moved to the bathroom counter and stared at it, she looked over at Kaoruko and smiled calmly. "It's going to be alright.

Kaoruko let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding - shoulders sagging as she slumped back against the door. "Thank god..." She whispered, rubbing her face with her sleeve - thankful that her worst fear was resolved.

The two returned to the bedroom and sat down - Haruka handed Kaoruko the cards from Sayo, Camélia, Utena, and Korisu. "I know we're not that close with Utena-Chan, but she still wanted to let you know that she hopes you'll feel better soon." The pinkette said, taking a bite from the unfinished bento she had brought for Kaoruko.

"While you've been away, Jaguar d'Ombre apologized for what happened in the doll house - while she is affiliated with Enormeeta, she's only with them for a little while - I think Violet said she was a mercenary, or something like that." Haruka said, leaning against Kaoruko. "My sisters miss having you visit as well." She added.

She'd look up at Haruka, still tired. "While ah'm glad they're thinking of me, ah don't want no apology from anyone else except fer Baiser." She said, her gaze cold. "Magia Baiser has been rather distant since what happened, we haven't seen her since a week ago." Haruka murmurs - hoping to calm her partner down.

"Well then... It looks like ah'll have to pay her a visit."
