Homura Feat 15

"That was pretty good!" Homura said. Her shape was still blurry, almost like a person moving in accelerated time. "But not good enough!"

She threw something. A small object shaped sized like a bullet, though much faster than one. It was too fast for even Endless Dream to catch, slamming into Madoka's weakened shoulder.

She screamed. She had never been shot before. The pain was the worst she had ever felt, almost as bad as the time Elly threatened to grab her wrist bones.

"Madoka!" Sayaka shouted.

Madoka fought through the pain and tears, her teeth mashing hard against each other. She winced her watery eyes open to see the object that had struck her, which had bounced off and landed at her feet.

It wasn't a bullet. It wasn't even a thing that most would people consider a weapon. It was only a bottle cap, and not even the metal ones. It was a cheap plastic thing that looked like it came from a Morning Rescue bottle.

"A...bottle cap?" Madoka said.

"That's right!" Homura yelled. She stopped being blurry. She pointed a finger at Madoka. "I don't even need to waste precious ammo to finish you off! With my newfound weakening powers, I can defeat you with mere trinkets!"
