Log:

YOU ARE HERE. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS. YOU'RE FIGHTING THIS. (IT'S NOT CHERNOBOG.)

ALSO, MOOD MUSIC.

KEY:

• RED areas are inaccessible regions! This time, characters have a little less discretion in what they perceive as the reason for the inaccessibility; it'll either be something like a broken or crumbling wall, a locked door, an archway overgrown with dangerous-looking vines, thick fog, or something else of that nature!

• The GREEN area is the set of stairs you used to get down here in the first place! Again, this is here so you know where your starting point is in relation to everything else.

~

☆ THE NUMBER TO MEET OR BEAT IS 55 PARTICIPANTS ☆.

REMEMBER: IF YOUR CHARACTER DOES NOT POST TO THE BOSSFIGHT LOG AT LEAST ONCE
(AS A TOP-LEVEL COMMENT OR IN RESPONSE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S TOP-LEVEL COMMENT)
BEFORE 7:00 AM EST on OCTOBER 31, THEY WILL NOT COUNT TOWARD THE 55-PARTICIPANT GOAL!

[ Madoka swallows hard when her Eevee refuses to fight against this monster. Oh dear, she's usually the type to protect her trainer from anything, making the girl feel almost bad for some pokemon on the roads... And if Eevee refuses to do this, then how could she even ask from a Vulpix, who doesn’t like her all that much, or a tiny, shiny, Cleffa, who is still just a little baby?

The girl smiles nervously at her starter. ] It's okay, you don't have to if it's too scary. We'll be okay... Somehow.

[ There’s no point in forcing anyone to fight against anything, ever. If that thing feels like a Walpurgis Night to the Eevee, then Madoka is certainly not going to tell her to fight it.

But that leaves her with the question; what is she going to do now? She can't use her pokemon against it, the staff in her hands is – well, it's been good until now, but she doubts it would do much against that. She's still surprised that it hasn't broken into pieces by now, maybe it wouldn't even last much longer anyway. Besides, it's more like a weapon for another magical girl – or two – from her world, while Madoka herself prefers long-range weapons such as bows.

She looks around and she can see people getting powers. That's weird. Shouldn't they be powerless in this world? She wonders if they’re their powers from back home, or something else. Why is she so helpless again? Why can't she help anyone here either? If only she had her bow... Then she could fight too.

It's never wrong to hope. If someone would tell her otherwise, she'd tell them to always believe in hope every time. So, there would be nothing wrong with making a wish for it either, right? It – Maybe it wouldn't work, but she'd have to at least try. Now, Madoka had wished for a bow ever since the monsters first appeared, but it hadn't worked upstairs. Maybe this is different. If she would put all of her effort and heart into it, then maybe...

This is no time to close her eyes and cross her arms like she's praying for something, but that's exactly what Madoka is doing right now. She's picturing the bow from her sketchbook into her mind with all the details ever, and silently going through some begging from the world right there. Please? Eevee stays close to her legs, not wanting to leave Madoka alone, but not wanting to fight either because she's too scared. At least she could warn Madoka about the enemies coming closer to them, maybe. Uhhh, girl, what are you doing anyway? That's not a way to run away from monsters, nor is it a way to fight or calm down a scared Eevee.

Madoka is not even sure whether or not she expects anything to work, but after some extreme concentration she can just feel the thing appearing into her hands. It's weird, because she's still just a normal Madoka, but it's – well, at least it pretty much looks like the one from her sketchbook, or past timelines, if it looks like that in those too. Needless to say the girl is amazed to see it, and extremely happy after it. She pets the Eevee.]

Don't worry, this time I'll protect you, okay? ...Well, as soon as I figure out how to exactly aim all the way to that big monster.

[At least it's so big, that it should be easy to hit it! Arrows? She'll have them, they are just not visible all the time! It's a magical bow and it comes with magical arrows, uh.

She tries shooting with it. The arrow appears as soon as she is ready for her first shot... But it only hits the closest minion.]

...We – I'll learn this -- somehow!! [Why can't she be cool like her friends, who always hit the target on the first try?!] I – Maybe I just need to practice a bit.

[orz. Well, she will be good at it some time during the battle, but it is difficult for a beginner at first.]

(Sayaka felt the same way toward her Pokemon...as she saw Squire, her starter Empoleon, refuse to fight along with Mami -her Gardevoir- and even her youngest, Chikorita...it was exactly how she felt when she promised to protect Madoka, and all innocents from the witches!)

We've got this...

(Sayaka recalled her Pokemon and once realizing everyone else was receiving their powers the blue-haired girl had never been any happier -other than the day she made the wish and it had been granted- to retrieve her powers...! She felt for her sword at her side and pulled it out, smiling at her best friend a heartbeat later.)

I trust you, Madoka...with my life...

(She raced forward with blade in hand, screaming loudly so she would be targeted and not the other girl, trusting that Madoka would protect her no matter what happened.)

[Eevee jumps on Madoka's shoulder. She lets her be there, if she really wants to, of course the evolution pokemon could go into her pokeball as soon as she would start feeling too scared there.]

Yeah, no worries. It's nothing we can't handle.

[...Neither are Sayaka's powers as Madoka is going to make sure that she won't pass any limits here!]

That's amazing, Sayaka-chan! You got everything back. [While she looks weird with just the bow, if they'd be from the same timeline and point in there, umm.

She won't let it bother now though. There are other things to do, she'd have to learn to shoot with this bow and fast. Maybe -- if it appeared out of nowhere (well, it kind of did), then maybe she'd get shooting skills out of nowhere too... She smiles at Sayaka.]

I trust you with my life too, Sayaka-chan, and don't worry, I'll have your back and everything else all the time. Let's beat this and go back to the rest of our pokemon, ne?

[She's about to shoot another arrow. This time she's aiming for the huge monster. If she had one more wish, it would be something along the lines Please, reach it by going all the way there..]

(Sayaka's initial attack met with definite resistance as she not only collided with a set of clawed fingers, but was sent flying back a few feet, the arm that clutched her sword trembling a little as she'd been cut but as Madoka put it she had gotten everything back; her healing abilities were working as she got up, giving the pink haired girl a grin.)

Mm! Looks like you did too, Madoka. Hehe, have everything else... Let's take this monster down and go back to our other Pokemon!

(She waited for Madoka's arrows to shoot and distract the monster from her next assault. One, and now two...off she goes with another attack!)
