Chapter 56:
Escape:Witch [Remake]
Madoka smiled as she rode in a UFO towards the top of Big Ben. Gnoreville, the Ginkawa's alien butler, piloted the craft, positioning it towards the broken scaffolding, and getting close enough to beam Yuni and Serika up.
"Ugh, should've said it was you. I was freaking out when we got pulled out," Serika grumbled as Emeri administered her the antidote for the immobilization serum.
"The mansion's docked nearby, so Gnorville was able to fly out and pick us up. Then we just followed the signals on your phones and here we are," Madoka smiled.
"You certainly came at a good time. With Seika-nee-san immobilized, I was worried we'd be easy pray if some other foe decided to show up and jump us," Yuni nodded.
"Oi, don't talk about shit like that out loud! We aren't home-free yet!" Serika fumed.
"Actually we are," Emeri stated as the saucer landed on a docking bay on the Ginkawa mansion's grounds.
Serika blinked in disbelief, but sure enough, everyone was home-free. As the girls exited and walked around, they were greeted by not just Harumi, but Nero and his entourage as well.
"What's Nero doing here?"
"Chillin," Kumi grinned as she flashed a peace sign.
It was then upon closer inspection that everyone aside from Nero and Harumi looked a little battered up.
"What happened to you all?"
"We went to fagradalsfjall," Nika growled.
Yuni's eyes widened as she recognized the name. "O- Okaa-chan... Nero said Okaa-chan-"
"Yeah, yeah, come this way already," Nika grumbled as she began dragging Yuni with her.
As the two entered what appeared to be a medical facility, Yuni's eyes widened. There, laying on the bed was her mother, Fubuki Dakota, and beside her, her aunt, Hitomi. Yuni immediately ran towards her mother, tears pouring out of her eyes, as she leapt towards her, embracing her in a hug.
"OKAA-SAN! OKAA-SAN, I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!"
Fubuki warmly smiled, tears trickling out of her eye as she gently stroked Yuni's head.
The others began heading in to, but upon noticing Fubuki, Serika grew uncomfortable.
"Getting cold feet?" Emeri asked.
"N- Yeah- Wait no, I'm not afraid!"
"I'm not convinced."
"Well how about I make things easier?"
Everyone turned as Nero extended his hand. In an instant, all of Fubuki's wounds healed, shocking everyone including Fubuki herself.
"Wha- ...!? My, my tongue!"
"Restoration like that's 0mni-101."
Now able to speak and walk once more, Fubuki properly embraced Yuni in a hug, and told her what she wished to tell her so long ago.
"Yuni, I'm so sorry. You suffered so much because of my blunder. I've missed you all this time."
"M- Me too, okaa-san."
Fubuki smiled and turned her attention to Serika. "Serika, you've grown so big too."
"..."
"My apologies if this might shock you, but-"
"I know, I'm your daughter... But is it really ok?"
Fubuki smiled and walked over to Serika, embracing her in a hug. "It most certainly is. Now we've got lots of catching up to do."
Tears poured out of Serika's eyes as she smiled and nodded.
...
The next morning, Madoka awoke to find Yuni sitting in one of the garden areas. "Whatcha up to?"
"Oh, just taking a breather. Okaa-san decided to reveal we're descended from ninjas, and is teaching us secret techniques. Serika-nee-san's doing fine, but you know me."
"Ninja training's nothing! You learned how to escape from the best of the best!"
"But I'm nowhere near that level."
"Cheer up! Momma said things are going well! Fubuki's now gonna stay here, so you don't need to worry about her, and we can head back to Japan since things seem to be good there."
"Well that was a dramatic turn-around."
"Guess that Melinda bitch dying really messed up Illumous."
"More like Nero- er, Muramasa Jouzu and the gang going ham on them."
"Oh, guess that makes more sense... But we did our part!"
"It's been a while since that egotistical side of you has come out," Yuni smiled as Madoka began to pout.
"Madoka... Ever since we met, you've been the light of my life."
"Really? I thought your mother held that honor."
Yuni smiled and shook her head. "In my darkest hour, I had no one, but then you showed up. Thanks to you, I met Emeri, found out Serika was my sister and improved my relationship with her, got reunited with everyone... Madoka, I love you."
Madoka went silent before a smile appeared on her face. "I love you too, Yuni."
As the two huddled close to each other on the bench, the others watched from a distance. But as soon as the two kissed, Harumi was the first to pop out.
"Congratulations! I'll have the wedding planned out shortly!"
"MOMMA!?"
"Seems like we were being spied on," Yuni frowned as Serika smugly approached her.
"Well look at you, never thought you'd actually confess."
"I'm not like you."
"Now don't bicker, girls. This is a joyous occasion," Fubuki smiled.
"That's right. This is the day the beautiful escape witch, Madoka Ginkawa, truly bewitched my heart. And I don't ever want to escape from it," Yuni smiled as she turned to face a smiling Madoka, who in turn, gave her one more kiss on the lips for good measure.
