## Summary

***From past to future, there are Creatures who fight for harmony. They are known as magical warriors, or Magis for short.***

*Imagine that you were an ordinary girl who, like all others, got up in the morning, got ready for school before turning ten, went to classes, participated in club activities, and played with friends. But then, one day, you were scouted by the Taisha via an Incubator from Yumesora who goes by the name Kyubey, and you found out there is one extraordinary thing about yourself -- you are a Chosen One. What do Chosen Ones do? Who are the mysterious beings called "Vertex?"*

*The adventures of these Magis begin.*

## Other Stories

* **Puella Magi Megan Magica: A Sparkling Tale** - A sequel story to the franchise that is based on YuYuYui, but with some important changes, especially towards the end. It is unknown if it will be official or unofficial.

## Details

### Magical Warriors/Magis

Magical warriors, known as "Magis" by the Taisha, are mostly child and teenage Creatures selected by the Incubators to fight against the Vertex and beings of negative energy and emotions. When somecreature with the potential to be a magical warrior is located, they are offered a single wish in exchange for their service, although it's possible to be a fully-fledged magical warrior without making one.

Magical warriors use Harmony Gems in order to focus their magic, which is drawn from their Power Necklace. While Power Necklaces are formed when a Chosen One discovers their destiny and/or awakens their magic, Harmony Gems are formed from the energy generated by a magical warrior's wish, and are tied directly to their Power Necklace. As such, destroying both items while the magical warrior is transformed will cause backlash, which usually ends up in the magical warrior getting killed.

*Note: If a magical warrior uses too much magic, they will become highly exhausted until their magic replenishes itself. After using Elemaximum, they will also sange, although falling into a coma is sometimes a result.*

### Witches

Witches are creatures born from darkness and despair. When a magical warrior experiences extreme negative emotions such as sadness, anger, and despair, the Chaos naturally present in their heart and mind will corrupt their Harmony Gem and Power Necklace, turning ths two items into a Grief Seed, and corrupt their body and soul, turning them into a witch. After this, the witch will have to be purified to be returned to normal, although it is difficult but not impossible to reason with a witch and snap thhem out of their despair.

### Familiars

Familiars are spawned from a witch, acting as their servants. Most of the time, they will attack magical warriors or other intruders into the barrier of their witch, but sometimes, they will require a direct order from the witch, or simply not attack at all. A familiar that kills or consumes a sufficient number of Creatures will become a witch itself--sometimes a copy of the original witch, sometimes a different witch altogether.

### Grief Seeds

Grief Seeds are the core of a witch, left behind whenever a witch is defeated. At first, only the Incubators were able to use them, collecting them as soon as a witch was purified. However, it soon became possible to purify the Grief Seeds themselves, turning them into Harmony Gems and creating new magical warriors.

### Dreadnaughts

A Dreadnaught is a witch created when two or more witches combine. Most Dreadnaughts are formed from two or three witches. The strongest Dreadnaught created--known only as Walpurgisnacht--was created from five. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to defeat a Dreadnaught alone.

### Incubators

The Incubators are beings composed of energy, which is usually posivite--the embodiments of hope, love, and similar concepts. They are usually born from intense surges of positive emotion (the most extreme examples are when Amber's extreme excitement over magic being restored and creatures being friends again instantly causes the birth of *30* baby Incubators in Yumesora, and Dragonet hugging her Trainer in relief after she is de-witched causes the instant birth of 9 baby Incubators in Yumesora), although Kyubey seems to be an exception, explaining why the Divinity cares for her as "her Incuba-Perserver."

The Incubators are dedicated to keeping the universe alive through maintaining the level of energies (which is usually positive). However, the existence of Vertexes, Wraiths, Demons, and Witches threatens the balance. The Incubators thus create magical warriors to keep these threats in check, like how a human body's immune system fights off harmful viruses and germs.

There are some insane Incubators, and they gather negative energy by using Soul Gems instead of Harmony Gems, even though Power Necklaces are still there. One such Incubator (who is similar to the canon Kyubey) actively witholds details from its contractees, such as the fact that witches can be purified, and instead demands its victim's souls as payment for the wish. This Incubator is kept under lockdown in Yumesora and is forbidden from contracting with anycreature.

### Perservers

Perservers are formerly mortal beings who reached a form of enlightenment. When enough positive energy and magic power is experienced, a magical warrior will Ascend and become a Perserver, although they'll first be Psuedo-Perservers. Usually, this occurs when they either die (which is actually common until the timeline rewriting) or perform a great feat of magic nocreature can hope to achieve (which is one example of a Stage 5 test as well). There are notable Perservers that play an important role after a certain amount of time:

* When the fanfic series first began, only the holoCouncil were known to be Psuedo-Perservers.
* In the final two chapters of Nina Magica, Victoria, Brandon and Aurora become Perservers as a result of giving up their own lives. This happened some time after ***all*** the magical warriors performed their great feat of magic.
* Despite not being magical girls, the two Cherries of Arc 3 become Perservers because of being blessed. They also performed a great feat of magic...that might have affected Melody's future.
* Gina Silverstein is the only known magical girl to have reached enlightenment and Ascend in a different way. In "Spirit" (the adaption of "Dreams by the Yard Full!"), her final battle made the Magic of Friendship decide it was her turn to become a Perserver, and as a result, Cheren ends up gaining a spiritual link with his platonic friend.

### Other

* The strongest existing witch is known by the title 'Walpurgisnacht.'
* There are three Magi categories: Hero, Miko, and Messiah. Heroes and Mikos can transform at will (although the latter has no combat power), while Messiahs transform only when needed.

## Differences

### Changes from Project Harmony

* This is the only series in which the Taisha appears. Because of this, unlike other series, the MoF assits not just the Incubators when it comes to Chosen Ones, but also *them* as well.

### Changes from the Heroverse

* The series does not focus *only* on the Pokémon world.

### Overall Changes

* There seem to be more Magis that do not appear in any sort of way than in any other series. They are not main/supporting characters, and mostly consist of non-Humans and non-Ponies. For example, there is a Hippogriff Puella Magi that is mentioned many times.

### Additional Changes from YuYuYu

* (Pure) Mikos are transported to the Jukai whenever the ones they support need to fight Vertex.
* Mankai is instead called Elemaximum. However, the YuYuYu girls have their Mankai outfits unaltered other than their Harmony Gems appearing on them.
* Mini-Selves and Dream Pixies replace the fairies/spirits that help the Magis.

## Trivia

* The story can be found on DeviantArt and selected websites.
* Despite its title being Latin, the fanfiction is actually done in English.
