Prologue

A girl hides in an alleyway as she makes her report. According to her, nothing has happened yet although she did feel some magic she hadn't felt before. The girl complains about all of this being a waste of time.

Elsewhere, a different girl informs someone that their reports were correct, Kamihama is full of an incredible amount of Magical Girls. However, she doesn't see what makes Kamihama so special, so she begins her investigation.

Two girls whisper to each other as they observe Iroha Tamaki and Yachiyo Nanami coming out into the open. One girl asks the other about the other Magical Girls. It seems they're all gathering together somewhere to celebrate something. The two mysterious girls take this as their opportunity to begin their work and not be noticed.

At Walnut's, Manaka Kurumi is serving up drinks to al the thirsty Magical Girl patrons. Thanks to [Tsuruno Yui]]'s help everyone has already been served. Iroha and Yachiyo stand before the other Magical Girls, announcing the celebration of the establishment of the Kamihama Magia Union.

Episode One

Rena Minami is enjoying the grilled chicken and complimenting the taste. Kaede Akino says the food must be incredibly good to cause Rena to behave herself for once. Momoko Togame chuckles and agrees with Kaede, noting that good food makes you feel good.

Noticing how busy they are, Tsukuyo Amane and Tsukasa Amane offer to lend a hand bussing tables. Mifuyu Azusa offers to help at well but the Amanes would rather she sit down and enjoy herself.

Himika Mao looks at all the happy people and hopes that things for Magical Girls from the East will improve. Leila Ibuki asks about what happened between the East and West. Kanagi Izumi steps in and explains there used to be significant opposition between the two sides. Before innocent bystanders would get dragged into the conflict and hurt, but now they have formed an alliance and all of them are moving forward towards the future. Mitama Yakumo agrees this is the best thing for everyone, but they'll have to work hard to make it the best team possible.

Iroha is talking with Hinano Miyako, informing her that all of the Uwasa are no more except for the Rumor of the Eternal Sakura. Even the resistance of what was left of the Wings of Magius has stopped. Many of those Magical Girls had gone on rampages when they learned the truth about Magical Girls. Yachiyo thanks Hinano for all her invaluable help, but Hinano says she's just doing her job as the one responsible for the South. Hinano wants to make sure they're all on the same page in regarding their girls, so Yachiyo reminds her their goals haven't really changed. They'd like to coexist with Kyubey and expand the "Automatic Purification System" so it covers the whole world. However, they don't know how to do that so it may take a very long time. Hinano understands it can be difficult, especially since the Magius had originally resorted to sacrificing innocent people. Tsuruno pipes up, claiming their group's main purpose for now is to help each other out, share Grief Seeds, and fight enemies together. Sana Futaba would like the group to help those who were forced to fight alone or couldn't fight at all.

Felicia Mitsuki asks about how Touka Satomi's research is going, since she was planning on tapping into the power that helped them defeat Walpurgisnacht in order to expand the purification system. Ui TAmaki tells her that Touka, Kanagi, Mitama, and Nemu Hiiragi went with her to Endless Mirrors. It may not be easy to tap into that power, but Iroha is fairly confident she'll be able to since the feathers that fell from the sky reappeared earlier and they did seem to affect them. Hinano is impressed Touka was able to get that much at least and wonders how she did it. Touka pops up, giggling and bragging about how no one else gets it either. According to Touka, Kyubey observed some kind of interference from outside this universe during their battle with Walpurgisnacht. While they may not be able to connect two worlds using modern-day technology, Witches and Magical Girls operate on a whole other level which is why Touka went to Endless Mirrors to combine fantasy and technology.

Manaka receives a phone call at Walnut's. After she gets off the phone, she runs in a panic repeatedly saying "This is bad!". Ria asks what's wrong, assuming Manaka must have forgotten Ria's second rice omelet. Manaka tells her this is no time for jokes since Nemu has been kidnapped.

Episode Two

Manaka blames herself for Nemu's disappearance since she was the one who asked her to go shopping for the party. Ui tells her not to blame herself since Nemu prefers to be treated the same as others despite the fact she can no longer walk. Ui also points out that Sakurako was with her so Iroha figures the kidnappers must have been strong enough to take on Sakurako. Yachiyo asks if the kidnappers said anything else, but Manaka informs them they were told to search for her using magic tracing only and that the kidnappers had something to prove. Felicia wonders if they might have missed an enemy, then suggests they may be outsiders.

Ui suggests they use all the manpower they have gathered here, but Sana points out how large Kamihama is. Iroha suggests they split up into groups to search larger areas but Mifuyu reminds them it hasn't been long since Nemu left so they may be close by since Nemu wouldn't be able to travel very fast. Mifuyu instead suggests they split up and search the areas near Walnut's. Since all of them are familiar with each other's magic, they should be able to pinpoint the kidnappers more easily since it would be the only magic they're unfamiliar with.

Hinano thinks this is a good chance to prove their capabilities as a team so she offers to cover Chuo Ward with the other girls from the South. Ryo Midori and Ikumi Makino agree to help. Kanagi and the other girls from the East offer to search Hokuyo Ward, where they're currently at. Since there's not as many Eastern Magical Girls, the smaller area is perfect for them to search efficiently. Even though she doesn't live there, Tsukuyo offers to go with Tsukasa to help in the search. Since there are a lot of Magical Girls from the West, they're left with searching Sankyo Ward which many of them are familiar with. Mifuyu tells Iroha to call them since they'll all be too far out of range for telepathy to work. Iroha wonders what the kidnappers are trying to prove, but Touka only hangs her head and wonders if their past is starting to catch up with them.

Episode Three

Tsuruno relays to Iroha the message she received from Mifuyu. According to Tsuruno, Mifuyu's group were unable to find anything so they've moved on to a new area. Since Momoko's group couldn't find anything either, Iroha wonders if they too should search elsewhere. Yachiyo had hoped they would find them there since the majority of people had abandoned the area, but she too agrees they should move on.

As Iroha walks through the streets, she's unable to find any other Magical Girls. The streets are crowded with people, so Sana wonders if the kidnappers aren't in a place with very few people around. She asks if there aren't any abandoned buildings or wide open spaces around here, but Tsuruno can't think of any places like that. Felicia often visits the area since Kako Natsume and Ayame Mitsukuri live there but even she's never seen anything like that in the area.

Felicia wonders if the kidnapper is a Witch but Touka gives her an incredulous stare and asks how a Witch could make a phone call. Ui asks them not to argue but Touka is worked up because Nemu was kidnapped and she wants Felicia to take it seriously. Felicia argues she is taking it seriously. As they bicker, Iroha tels the others that somethign has been bothering her. If the kidnappers were outsiders, why did they know to target Nemu? How did they know that Nemu was important?

Elsewhere neither Kanagi nor Mitama have had any luck. They've asked local people and even people at the supermarket if they saw anyone matches Nemu's description but no luck. Kanagi looks around at the ward and notes that the North looks surprisingly normal despite the battle with Walpurgisnacht. Mitama replies that the East was more affected by the rubble removal process. Kanagi's heart aches for a moment at the social disparity until she reminds herself they have a job to do. She suggests they let Himika keep looking in this area while she and Mitama head to Endless Mirrors. Since the Mirror Witch's familiars go around handing out invitations, Kanagi wants to rule them out as the kidnappers. Mitama hopes the kidnappers aren't the kind of people to target a disabled Magical Girl, but Kanagi is sad to admit that there are people that are that vile out there.

Hinano checks her phone for messages, but none of the other teams have found anything in either HOkuyo or Sankyo Ward. Ryo calls Hinano and tells her both her and Ikumi believe they know who the kidnappers are. Hinano agrees with their suspicions. The kidnappers had to be someone who knew that the Magius were important, but weren't aware that the girls of Kamihama were coming together. Hinano senses foreign magic and urges them to go together to see if their hunch is right.

Hinano approaches the area and sees she's correct. Nemu is being held hostage by Black Feathers and White Feathers who originated from outside of Kamihama.
