Guardians of Harmony: the Rebellion Story

**Guardians of Harmony: the Rebellion Story** (ハーモニーの守護者 〜反逆〜, *Harmonī Yuusha de Aru ~Rebellion~*?) is the first movie of the Reignitionverse. It takes place after the events of the original Season 16.

## Synopsis

*A creature becomes a Guardian of Harmony if they're special enough to make the contract. The Guardians have a fate to fight against villains like the witches, the harbingers of destruction that plant the seeds of despair, and in the end, they will sometimes succumb to despair and be defeated... The cycle that had repeated so many times was finally ended by Cynthia Moonpath's sacrifice, and the world was led into a new order. However, the battle must continue. The reason for this is because it is the compensation for the miracle. Unable to let the Multiverse die, Megan Williams, the Guardian who wields the Rainbow of Light, fights with Radiant Daybreak in the revived world. Their feelings pave the way for a new story.*

*...One day, the unicorn who was the girl's student for a very long time starts to appear unable to move at times. What is the meaning of the occurrence of something that should not exist anymore at all? Will Nina Aarden, the Heroine of Ideals from her home world, tell the truth of the matter? And what is the being that fights against the order of the Divinity and tramples the entire Multiverse?*

*In the true climax of Guardians of Harmony, the story reaches the unbelievable “incredible finale”... and now this is the end of a era, right...?*

## Plot

*This is the short version of the summary. For the full version, see here.*

The Guardians of Harmony appear at Centra fighting some new creatures born from negative feelings known as Nightmares (ナイトメア, *Naitomea*?), having no recollection about what previously happened. However, after noticing Radiant Daybreak being unable to move at points during a recent battle, Megan Williams realizes something is amiss, and after some investigation recovers everyone's lost memories from the original timeline only to realize that everyone is somehow trapped in an alternate world inside a witch's barrier. When Megan realizes that the witch is none other than Homura Akemi, Kyubey appears with the guilty-looking black-haired girl and reveals that Homura had fallen into despair and when she was about to become a witch, she isolated her Soul Gem to set a trap for the Divinity, hoping to take control of the confounding Law of Cycles.

However, when Madoka appeared to retrieve Homura and remind Kyubey that she's not the sinister kind, she and everyone else had forgotten about the original timeline, thus Kyubey kept observing them until that point. Having recovered her memories, Homura suddenly forces herself to complete the witch transformation at the cost of having her soul destroyed, much to Megan's horror. At that moment, Sayaka and Nagisa lead Madoka and the other Guardians in breaking the barrier to reach Homura's real body. Madoka is the last to recover her memories and borrows the power of the Elements of Harmony and the Law of Cycles and reaches for Homura, but the Divinity, not wanting Homura to rewrite the universe under evil, releases what appears to be a curse in everyone's Harmony Gems which she reveals is not one of despair, but love. With this power, the Goddess suppresses everycreature's powers and the Elements.

Afterwards, the Divinity rewrites reality once again, this time so that the original story gets repeated without witches and sanging while, due to everyone being killed as a result, redoes her creation of Victoria and Arcturus, without any changes from the original timeline. But She realizes that all creatures might eventually remember the truth, and Lizzie, who is alive at this point, decides to agree with Her. A post-credits scene shows a boy, two girls and their Pokémon sitting in the grassland while watching over the wild Pokémon. After staring into the horizon, the pink-haired girl returns her Yamper to his Poké Ball and leans over and falls off a cliff, forcing the girl with her Eevee and the boy with his Pikachu to transform and save her (which is not seen).

## Trivia

* The direction of the movie was confirmed when a fellow admin of the wiki didn't want a world without Guardians at all thanks to an evil god, only for the founder to reply it won't be like Madoka Magica.
* Even though it takes inspiration from *Puella Magi Madoka Magica: the Rebellion Story*, there are some differences:
	+ The ending confirms the second reset of the timeline, this time following the slightly-modified events of the original series. Thus, the Reignitionverse was born, and the movie ends in better terms...slightly.
	+ Sayaka doesn't have witch-related powers.
	+ Homura doesn't wear Madoka's civilian ribbons, with Madoka herself wearing them like always.
	+ Kyubey has nothing to do with the movie due to not being a manipulative, jerk genie who speaks in half-truths and doesn't mention the fine print like her origin anime. She does make the same trap as the basis movie, however, but finally admits later on it was all a mistake.
* This movie seems to have a partial tie-in with the AUs, mainly *The Tale of the Last Two Porters,* because the movie was originally planned to end the entire *Guardians of Harmony* franchise as a whole.
* As an easter egg, the post-credits scene features the nameless boy and two girls from Pokémon's *GOTCHA! Acacia* MV.
* This is one of the rare times (and the first time ever) where the Divinity makes a major impact on history.
