Magia Record Main Story Part 2 Chapter 1
Chapter 1: Forward with the Sound of Shoes
=Section 4: Girl Writing
Kyubey explains that the small Kyubey is a good core for the system, but its lack of emotion means it cannot hold energy born from emotion. They scattered with Eve, and collecting all of them will give the owner the right to master the system.
Kyubey admits that he lured Magical Girls to Kamihama since he knows they will fight within themselves for his experiment. He wants to see how much the system can take before it cracks, and if it doesn't, he'll judge if it is possible the Doppel system can keep the universe going.
He believes that this is win-win: he gets to maintain the universe, while the girls can ensure no more victims will come about as long as they release their Doppels.
Promised Blood are pissed for dancing on another palms again, but they take it in stride since they have seen much blood. Neo-Magius realize this is out of their league. Sunao Toki and Chiharu Hiroe are shocked for being pawns even before the elder's schemes, but are cheered up by Shizuka Tokime who takes it very well, seeing it as a greater honor to serve the universe and not just Japan alone.
Iroha asks if the other teams will maintain their stance since they can complete the system faster if they work together. Neo Magius refused due to their hatred of people not like them and Yuna Kureha also refuses despite the fact that it is rationally sound: she cannot take it emotionally. Only the Tokime group agree to join forces, and everyone prepares for war, though they call it a day for now. We also learn Kagome Satori fused with the last rumor Nemu Hiiragi created. They both aim to spread the deeds of Magical Girls to the world, but the rumor is too weak since it was created during Alina and Nemu's fight, so it had to fuse with something to survive (much like Rumor Tsuruno).
As Kagome was the assistant of a creep researching on Magical Girls after her meeting with Iroha and before meeting the rumor, she became the right host.
The rumor grants her the ability to listen to all conversation and thoughts of Magical Girls in her line of sight and the ability to avoid danger. Her aim to record Magical Girls and their deeds also go in line with Nemu who pities themselves: serving humanity and dying without anyone knowing,
On the way back home, they met Mitama Yakumo who was waiting for them, and Livia Medeiros appeared with her two lackeys: Yozuru Sasame and Sudachi Sawa. It seems she is indeed Mitama's teacher, though she brands Mitama as a failure for breaking her stance on neutrality as an Adjustor, and also reminds her that her wish made her lose the right to have any stance on any issue. She greets the Union and leaves, welcoming them to their service at anytime.
Mitama thinks Kyubey is cunning since pointing the Adjustors here ensures that the war will not be one-sided. Felicia thinks they should just whack them to keep the advantage, but Mitama discourages this, elaborating that as merchants of death, their neutral stance makes them many friends, and harming them will make the attackers public enemy. So it will be a tough battle ahead.
Back home, Momoko informs Yachiyo of their side of things via phone, and Ui is comforted by her sister as she cries hard, terrified about her and the small Kyubey's connection to the emotion, the tense atmosphere and the future war between Magical Girls.
As the teams are talking to Kyubey, another battle was commencing, After seeing how terrified Karin is during interrogation, Juri let her go since she knows nothing, is not a target, and for being weak.
However, Ikumi, Momoko trio, Amane sisters and Ryou come to Karin's aid, making Juri crack a smile since her plan to fish the big names actually worked.
Promised Blood and Kamihama Magical Union fought at a draw, though Juri managed to piss Momoko off with a cheap shot after pretending to agree to a cease fire. Momoko's innate magic rose the morale of her side, allowing them to gain an upper hand, making her decide to retreat.
Kaede and Rena chased after her, so Juri create a wall of flames to scare them off. It is at this moment where the emotionally spent Karin who has been questioning on why she is on the receiving end of abuse and near death just because she ask for Alina, and how she endangered her friends by becoming the bait of the enemy saw the danger Kaede and Rena is in on dashed right at the wall before Rena and Kaede hit it.
This actually shocked Juri. While the wall will not do much to Kaede and Rena, it is lethal to the weak Karin. True to her expectation, Karin is brought to the verge of death, leading to her Doppel's manifestation.
It is strong enough to wreck Promised Blood, but they manage to escape with bruises since Karin's Doppel cannot hold on long with her host close to death. She gave them a Grief Seed as a form of apology since, while she loves death bouts with strong opponents, killing weaklings is not her thing. She also revealed hers and Ao's name as well as they retreat.
Kagome continue to record the Magical Girls:
Magia Union: A big and connected, but somewhat loose web of an alliance of PMs trying to help each other. Will their web remain strong and inviting, or will it burn under the flames of war?
Tokime: While Sunao and Chiharu recovered from their shock, they have to in turn cheer Shizuka up since she is shocked that most PMs did not wish, nor wants to protect Japan. She gets over it pretty quickly with Sunao and Chiharu's encouragement. They can make up now, and besides, they are now protecting the universe instead. Kagome wonder if they remain pure as they ventured into the complex world.
Promised Blood: Juri easily passes her bracelet to Yuna, proving her loyalty once again. But Yuna is pretty gloomy, and Hikaru correctly pointed out that she is considering Iroha's words. After some pause, Yuna says the person she is now will not heed Iroha, but this personality of hers can be exploited. Kagome wonders how much of their hate is due to righteous anger or due to self-destructive escapism for the choices they have made.
The Neo Magius is just falling apart as the members know they are out of the league, and there is nothing Shigure and her friend can do to stop them. They refuse to agree to their suggestion at finding stronger Magical Girls since they believe they are unnecessary.
Finally, we see Alina in a hospital when she suddenly senses one of her art work as something push past her.
