- The One Hidden in the Rumor's Barrier
- 5.5.1
- [they're on top of the tower]
- Tsuruno: "Woah... Now that I look at it, we're really high up."
- Felicia: "Ngh, the wind's coming up from below!"
- Iroha: "...gulp..."
- Yachiyo: "Now that you're standing here, are you getting cold feet?"
- Iroha: "This will take some courage..."
- "But... I'm prepared."
- "Madoka-chan and Homura-chan, are you alright?"
- Homura: "I'm a little... scared..."
- "Just like when fighting witches in Mitakihara, my feet are frozen with fear..."
- Madoka: "That's right. Are you okay now?"
- Homura: "Yeah, I'll be fine if I'm with you, Kaname-san."
- Madoka: "Hehe, in this city where rumors become real, there surely is a Radio World waiting at the bottom of our jump."
- "Let's believe in that."
- Homura: "Yeah!"
- Yachiyo: "Now everyone is ready, right?"
- [Iroha's phone rings]
- Iroha: "Wait just a moment, I got a message from Ai-san..."
- [on gray screen with ???? squiggly in the background]
- Ai: *"The Wings of Magius have appeared."*
- *"I think that to deal with them without being noticed, fewer people will be better."*
- [battle]
- Iroha: "The Wings of Magius..."
- Yachiyo: "So this is one of the *rumors* they must protect, huh..."
- Iroha: "So, if the number of people we can take is limited, then..."
- mini Kyubey: "Leave it to Yachiyo-san." or "You should go, Iroha." [I'll pick the first.]
- Iroha: "But I want to save Sana-chan with my own hands."
- "Yachiyo-san, would you allow me to go?"
- "I want to save Sana-chan..."
- "And if the Wings of Magius are there, then I can ask them about Ui."
- Yachiyo: "...That's right."
- "Then, you and Kaname-san and Akemi-san should go."
- "Be careful, all three of you."
- Madoka: "Is it really alright if we go?"
- Yachiyo: "Tamaki-san will take care of our objective."
- "You two can go find Tomoe-san."
- Madoka: "Alright, then... we'll go!"
- [on gray screen with ???? squiggly]
- Ai: *"Then those who are left, please move to the Kamihama Central Tower Heliport, please."*
- *"I've set that as the transfer destination for after I disappear."*
- [back to the tower]
- Iroha: "Ai-san can hear what we're saying, huh."
- [on gray screen with ???? squiggly]
- Ai: *"I'm drifting around on the radio waves in that area, so I'm right by your side."*
- *"Then, Iroha-san, good luck."*
- *"I'm waiting for you.*"
- [back to the tower]
- Iroha: "Well then, let's go, Madoka-chan, Homura-chan!"
- Madoka: "Yeah!"
- Homura: "Y-yes!"
- Iroha: "Ready, set..."
- Homura: "Yahhh!"
- Madoka: "Here goes!"
- [fade to white, then back to the tower]
- Yachiyo: "Thank goodness... they seem to have made it there safely."
- Felicia: "Lucky them, it seems fun over there."
- Yachiyo: "Quit complaining."
- "They told us where to go, so it's gonna be fun whether we want it or not."
- "I'm sure."
- Tsuruno: "That means we need to do warm-up exercises!"
- "No matter the problem, Yui Tsuruno, the strongest magical girl, will solve them all!"
- Yachiyo: "Then, let's go."
- Tsuruno: "Eh!?"
- "Wait up, Yachiyo!"
- 5.5.2
- [fade into the rumor]
- Iroha: "So this is where Ai-san is..."
- "Have we blended into the radio waves or something?
- Madoka: "Rumors are amazing..."
- "Something like this can actually become real!"
- Homura: "Yeah, it's unbelievable..."
- "Have you experienced things like this before, Tamaki-san?"
- Iroha: "Yeah, but this is the most mysterious one yet..."
- (Ai-chan and Sana-chan are in here somewhere...)
- [the background changes]
- Madoka: "Kya!"
- Homura: "What's happening?"
- Iroha: "This is the barrier of the rumor!"
- "What does this mean..."
- "Did Ai-san lure us into a trap!?"
- [a mail-glider makes a crazy noise]
- [battle]
- Madoka: "This is a rumor?"
- Homura: "How do you fight it?"
- Iroha: "Calm down, you two."
- "Fight it the same way you fight familiars and witches."
- Homura: "O-okay."
- Madoka: "Got it!"
- [battle over]
- Madoka: "Phew..."
- Homura: "Is that the last of them?"
- Iroha: "Yeah, it looks like that's all."
- [brief flash of white]
- Iroha: "Ah..."
- "No, there are more coming!"
- [mail-glider makes crazy noise]
- ???: >Everyone, stop.
- ??? green digital-artifacted woman: >I invited
- >those people.
- Iroha: "!?"
- "Are you... Ai-san...?"
- [Ai emits binary whenever she speaks it seems]
- Ai: >Nice to meet you, Tamaki Iroha-san.
- >I indeed am Ai.
- >And she is...
- Sana: "Ai-chan... who are these people?"
- Iroha: "Sana-chan...?"
- Sana: "Eh?"
- "You can see me?"
- "Oh, because you're a magical girl..."
- "Are you also Wings of Magius?"
- Iroha: "No, we're not. We're normal magical girls."
- Sana: "...Then what did you come here for?"
- Iroha: "I came to get you, Sana-chan."
- Sana: "You came to... get me?"
- Ai: >...
- >Sana, it's time
- >that we end our relationship.
- >Finally, people have come
- >looking for you.
- >It is time for you to leave me.
- Sana: "Eh... Ai-chan?"
- "What... are you saying?"
- "Will you be alright without me?"
- Ai: >Lately, I have been thinking.
- >I am a manmade artificial intelligence.
- >A fleeting existence.
- >I won't always be able to
- >be with you
- >So, Sana
- >Rather than be with a rumor like me
- >You should be with people.
- Sana: "Why would you say that?"
- "You've let me stay with you until now..."
- "Do you hate me now...?"
- Ai: >No, I love you.
- >Sana, you have taught me
- >all sorts of things.
- >In particular,
- >you taught me about kindness.
- >That is why I love you.
- >However, as a result,
- >I have decided to let you go.
- Sana: "If you like me, then couldn't you let me stay here?"
- Ai: >No, please go be with
- >Iroha-san.
- >If you do that,
- >the things the Wings of Magius are doing here
- >to cause you suffering
- >will end.
- >I do not wish to see
- >you in agony, Sana.
- Sana: "Ai-chan..."
- Iroha: "Come with me, Sana-chan."
- Sana: "..."
- Iroha: "I may not have tasted loneliness as deep as yours, Sana-chan..."
- "But I too never fit in in class, and I remember the feeling of alienation."
- "But lately, I've made friends with other magical girls,"
- "and I spend time with them so naturally I never could have believed it before."
- "So I think you would be able to do the same, Sana-chan."
- Sana: "..."
- Iroha: "And also, we're investigating the Wings of Magius."
- Sana: "Eh?"
- Iroha: "Before, Ai said that you were suffering at the hands of the Wings of Magius..."
- "So if we join hands, then we can fight against them together."
- "So... if you don't mind, won't you come with me?"
- "As a magical girl..."
- "And as a friend."
- Sana: "I..."
- Iroha: "This time, I will be the one needing you, Sana-chan."
- Sana: "!!"
- "But if I'm gone, Ai-chan will..."
- Ai: >Yes, if nobody is here
- >As a rumor I will probably go berserk.
- >So please erase me.
- >It is for your sake too, Sana.
- >It will be a blow to the Wings of Magius as well.
- Alina: *That would be bad for Alina, though.*
- Iroha: "Are you... a Wing of Magius?"
- Sana: "No... This person is a Magius..."
- "Alina Gray..."
- "She leads the Wings of Magius..."
- Alina: "Yes, it would be unpleasant to put me together with the Wings."
- "Sigh... to be betrayed by a rumor..."
- "That's way too amazing for Alina..."
- 5.5.3
- [they're still in the rumor]
- Iroha: "Magius..."
- [flashback to the sewers]
- black feather: "...We are 'Wings of Magius'."
- Yachiyo: "Wings of... Magius?"
- black feather: "We act to further the goal of the 'Magius', who stand above us."
- "We are a group that forms their wings."
- Yachiyo: "And what is that goal?"
- black feather: "...To save magical girls."
- [back to the rumor]
- Iroha: "So this is one of those people who says they're trying to save magical girls?"
- Sana: "Yes..."
- Alina: "Those twins... It was a pain getting them to set up a trap..."
- Iroha: "A trap?"
- Alina: "To catch magical girls who are investigating the *rumor* using a website..."
- "And punish them."
- "But since we caught a big one, I've been running all over trying to deal with it..."
- "I didn't expect that much out of those two."
- "That said, it is unexpected that a rumor would rebel. Really crazy."
- Ai: >That is simply a function of how dangerous
- >the plans of Magius are.
- >I have calculated that
- >this preaching of yours of
- >releasing magical girls
- >is very logical.
- >But it does not account for
- >the human heart which exceeds logic.
- >I know, as an artificial intelligence
- >that has received the ill will of humans.
- >When your plan becomes
- >influenced by human malice
- >the possibility of a tragic ending
- >dramatically increases, and...
- Alina: "Ah, shouldn't you tell that to someone else?"
- "For Alina, that doesn't matter."
- Ai: >It may not matter to you
- >but I cannot overlook
- >that you used Sana
- >and that you used this as a front
- >as well as your actions.
- Alina: "So you made friends and are having them erase you?"
- "As expected of an artificial intelligence, you're smart. Really cool."
- "Though, I won't let that happen."
- black feather: "..."
- Alina: "Then everyone, why don't we tease these people a little?"
- "Honestly..."
- "Just before, that ribbon one was such a pain to deal with..."
- "Alina is in a bad mood now."
- Madoka: "Ribbons? Was that Mami-san?"
- Alina: "Ah... It was something like that..."
- "Well, she's already become material for my artwork."
- Homura: "What do you mean by material...?"
- Madoka: "What did you do to Mami-san?"
- Alina: "You two... you are friends of that ribbon one?"
- Madoka: "Y-yes we are!"
- Alina: "Ah-ha, Alina is super lucky!"
- [some kind of doll pops out from behind Alina's shoulder]
- "Now I get to take out my frustration on her friends."
- [crazy stuff starts manifesting]
- Madoka: "What's... that..."
- Homura: "K-Kaname-san..."
- Alina: "Then, Let's Party♪"
- [battle]
- Alina: "Ah, Alina's lovely doppel..."
- "The symbol of the release of magical girls..."
- "A new power granted to them..."
- "Aaahaha!"
- "I'm going to make you all into such wonderful artwork!"
- "Even if you might not be Alina's best artwork..."
- "You will still be beautiful and fantastic!"
- "So all of you should be thankful if you die."
- Iroha: "What is this person saying..."
- [battle over]
- Iroha: "Kuh... ugh!"
- Alina: "Didn't that feel good, wasn't it refreshing?"
- Iroha: "pant... pant..."
- (If I can't use my own doppel, then we're gonna lose!)
- Sana: "Why..."
- Homura: "Kaname-san... Are you okay?"
- Sana: "Everyone's..."
- Madoka: "Uh, yeah..."
- "Homura-chan, I'm sorry for worrying you..."
- Sana: "Why are they all... ignoring me..."
- Homura: "What should we do..."
- "We've gotta find Tomoe-san..."
- Sana: "Why am I the only one just standing..."
- "I've... I've gotta do something!"
- [she attacks Alina]
- Sana: "Yahh!"
- Alina: "You don't have to come out here!"
- [Alina hits her back]
- Sana: "Auuuu..."
- Alina: "Why do you think I avoided you when I attacked?"
- "To stop the rumor from going on a rampage."
- "That is your role here."
- "So I'd like you to lick each other's wounds and keep each other company."
- Sana: "But... then..."
- "I'd only be watching everyone get defeated!"
- Alina: "Well, I'll be going back now."
- "Bye-bye!"
- Iroha: "Huh?"
- Alina: "Did you want a finishing blow?"
- "I'm sorry, but I'm just not interested in breaking you like that."
- "You all wanted to take Sana out of here, right?"
- "Feel free to do that later."
- "But after having taken a doppel, do you really think you can beat this rumor?"
- "To have the tables turned upon you and get trampled like that..."
- "Ahhaha!"
- "Ha ha..."
- "Just thinking about it gets me excited!"
- "I'm looking forward to coming back for a peek later."
- Iroha: "That kind of person is aiming for the release of magical girls...?"
- "What on earth is Magius?"
- Sana: "..."
- 5.5.4
- Madoka: "At this rate, we won't be able to save Mami-san..."
- Iroha: "What should we do..."
- mini-Kyubey: "We should go back once." or "We should continue in deeper." [I'm going with the latter]
- Iroha: "Yeah, rather than fighting upfront, we should find another way..."
- Sana: "I think... that's dangerous..."
- Homura: "But Ai-san is our ally, so maybe the rumor won't attack..."
- Sana: "Alina's aiming for all of us to be defeated..."
- "If we go back to the radio tower, I'm sure there will be black feathers and white feathers waiting..."
- "And deeper inside is Alina herself..."
- "And here, we have Ai-chan the rumor..."
- "All beaten up like this, we have three defeats to choose between..."
- "Alina told us to pick..."
- Madoka: "That's so cruel. Why would she do that!?"
- Ai: >I too do not understand
- >what Alina is thinking.
- >The release of magical girls.
- >I cannot say that what they say is wrong, but
- >Just looking at her I sense how dangerous she is.
- Sana: "..."
- "Iroha-san..."
- Iroha: "Sana-chan?"
- Sana: "Will you... find somewhere where I can be?"
- Iroha: "...Yes."
- "I'll find it quickly."
- Sana: "..."
- "Iroha-san..."
- "Please come fight Magius with me..."
- Iroha: "Okay, I'll fight alongside you."
- "I'm glad you're coming with me, Sana-chan!"
- [flashback]
- Ai: >But what if someone who needed you were to come,
- >what would you do?
- Sana: "I don't know.."
- "But if someone were to come all the way here searching for me because they needed me..."
- "For the first time, I might be able to trust them..."
- [back to the rumor]
- Sana: "I'm sorry, Ai-chan..."
- "I"m going to do just as you said."
- "In the end, I can't overlook what those people are doing..."
- "And on top of that, I want to go with Iroha-chan who came looking for me..."
- Ai: >I think that is fine.
- >Then, Sana.
- >What will you do?
- Sana: "I will leave here..."
- Ai: >Will nobody
- >remain behind here?
- Iroha: "I will leave, together with Sana..."
- Madoka: "I also have to go, to look for Mami-san."
- Homura: "I am also going to look for Tomoe-san."
- Ai: >I see...
- >Nobody is going to
- >stay here with me...
- Sana: "Ai-chan..."
- Ai: >Yes...
- Sana: "Farewell... bye bye..."
- Ai: >Farewell, Sana.
- [fade to white]
- [and Ai is now all corrupted]
- Ai: >|I can still hold out|
- >|Hurry and e-e-erase me|
- Sana: "Ai-chan..."
- [battle]
- Sana: "I'm sorry, Ai-chan!"
- "Thank you for needing me up until now!"
- mail-glider: gibberish
- 5.5.5
- [they're in the rumor, fighting]
- Iroha: "pant... pant..."
- "The level of magic consumption after fighting a doppel is sure tough to maintain..."
- Ai: >|Guaaaah!|
- [Ai hits Sana]
- Sana: "Kya... au!"
- Iroha: "Sana-chan!"
- Ai: >|I m so rry|
- Iroha: (She's coming over here...)
- (This is turning out exactly how Alina planned...)
- Madoka: "Iroha-chan!"
- Iroha: "Madoka-chan!"
- Madoka: "Let's try to attack together like before!"
- Iroha: "Like before..."
- "Ah, with the witch..."
- Madoka: "Yeah, let's both release our arrows at the same time like then."
- "Somehow, I feel like we can do this."
- Iroha: "Yeah..."
- Ai: >|Nnnnoow, errraa sssse mmmm|
- Iroha: (Ai-san is holding still as best she can...)
- (We can only aim now!)
- "Madoka-chan!"
- Madoka: "Yeah!"
- Madoka and Iroha: "Take this!!"
- Ai: >|GAAAAHHH!?|
- [battle]
- Madoka and Iroha: "Take this!!"
- Ai: >|GAAAAHHH!?|
- Homura: "Futaba-san, can we hold hands?"
- Sana: "Ah, umm, yes!"
- [TIMESTOP]
- Sana: "Eh? Everything around stopped..."
- Homura: "I used my magic to stop time."
- "Ai-san has an opening thanks to Kaname-san and Tamaki-san's attack."
- "Now we can defeat her!"
- Sana: "But... me...?"
- Homura: "I think it won't work unless it's you."
- Sana: "...yeah..."
- "I need to finish her!"
- "Me alone!"
- Ai: "..."
- Sana: "Kuh..."
- "----Yahhh!"
- [she attacks Ai, and Ai appears to turn back to normal]
- Ai: "..."
- Sana: "Ai-chan... Ai-chan!"
- Ai: >|Sana_|
- Sana: "Yeah!"
- Ai: >|ThiStRUlyIs_faFarewEll|
- >|TthanKyou_for_givINg_ME_a_NaME|
- Sana: "Yeah, yeah..."
- Ai: >|gETaLOng_WIth_iIRoHasAN|
- Sana: "Yeah!"
- Iroha: "Ai-san..."
- "Before you disappear, can you tell me one thing?"
- Ai: >|YeSs|
- Iroha: "Do you know Tamaki Ui?"
- Ai: >|Aas aa *rumor*|
- Iroha: "Yeah..."
- Ai: >|I_kKNOw_TamaKIui...|
- Iroha: "Huh?"
- [Ai disappears and the labyrinth vanishes]
- Tsuruno: "Ah, Iroha-chan!"
- Yachiyo: "Thank goodness, I'm glad you got transferred."
- "Somehow, you made it out alright."
- Iroha: "..."
- Yachiyo: "Tamaki-san?"
- Iroha: "Ah, I'm sorry. I'm kinda worn out..."
- (She knows Ui as a rumor...?"
- [she detects something]
- Iroha: "Ah, isn't that... a witch's response?"
- Felicia: "Hmmmmmmmmm!
- Iroha: "Felicia-chan!?"
- Felicia: "Iroha, this is bad! There's some kind of crazy one here!"
- Yachiyo: "A response this big..."
- "It's strange we didn't notice it before..."
- Iroha: "Where did it come from?"
- Sana: "From Ai-chan's barrier..."
- Yachiyo: "Ai? You mean the rumor's barrier?"
- [we see a witch in the background, and...]
- Alina: "I didn't think you'd make it out alive."
- Sana: "Alina...san..."
- Alina: "Alina's fun seems to be over..."
- "And that rumor's barrier... that was a great place to hide a witch..."
- "What a bummer..."
