Prologue
This is the story of some Magical Girls, whom have been hunting witches throughout the ages.
How many times has this been repeating over and over again, Homura Akemi has stopped counting a long time ago. After challenging several times the most powerful of witches, "Walpurgis Night", without any success, thinking again it was the end, she entrusted everything to Madoka Kaname.
"If we all five Magical Girls get together, wouldn't we be capable of defeating Walpurgis Night?"
With that in mind, Homura goes back in time once again. The five girls must forge a bond between them to cooperate and defeat Walpurgis Night.
Now, the girls are left behind, and one of them will be their guide...
