His gaze watched the new event. The universe had just been rewritten and now he was again in an abstract environment. Plunged amid a kaleidoscope of colors, his white and bushy tail swung to chance.

[Homura Akemi? Are you there?]

His telepathic call got no answer.

[Apparently a new reconstruction is taking place.]

"It's not a reconstruction, but a deconstruction, Incubator."

That voice caused Kyuubey to lift the tip of his ears. The one who approached was no more than Madoka, with her golden eyes and wearing a divine dress in pure white.

[Madoka Kaname, or rather I should call, the Law of Cycles.]

Madoka smiled. "I prefer Madoka. It was how you always called me."

The red eyes of Kyuubey examined every detail of the visual of Madoka. It was peculiar and matched the soul of that girl, unless an exception. He saw that in the right ear of Madoka was a black earring and in its tip was a violet gem with a very familiar format...

[Where is Homura Akemi?]

"She's no longer with us." Madoka answered.

Kyuubey closed his eyes, pondering. [Hmmm... I must consider, by the way you said, you did not take her away. But I doubt very much that you destroyed her.]

"No." Madoka evaluated carefully the next words she would say. "But I guarantee that she'll no longer be a threat to the order of things."

[Order...] Kyuubey opened his eyes. [I concluded that human emotions lead to irrational and dangerous conclusions, are a natural enemy of such concept. Madoka would you, as a deity, able to have transcended this fact? Understand why we have done this?]

"I know all about entropy, as well as I know that the universe is in danger. In the futures I saw, there's nothing." Said Madoka.

[Yes. The energy obtained with the demons is insufficient, the disorder is accelerating.] Kyuubey lifted one of his legs, pointing to Madoka. [If you know it, I can not understand why you fought against our solution.]

"Incubator..." Madoka paused before continuing, the dress tail fluttered, revealing different viewpoints of the universe in the inner parts.

[Yes.]

"You're not fighting entropy."

Kyuubey blinked a few times and then tilted his head to the side. [This is not true. As stated, the energy obtained is not enough and...]

"You're not getting any energy." Madoka interrupted.

This time, who made a pause before continuing was Kyuubey. [It is interesting to talk to something that is considered only as a concept. However, I must point out that there are techniques and tools to check the energy obtained.]

Madoka looked away from that focused look of Kyuubey. "You were deceived."

[Are you telling me that the information we get is being manipulated?] Kyuubey looked at his own tail. [And I should assume that there is someone or something behind it.]

"Yes. Believe it." Madoka confirmed.

[I do believe as it makes sense. The acceleration of disorder is a strong indication that there was a possibility of something way more serious. Can you tell me what is the cause?]

Madoka looked back at Kyuubey, her expression had become more serious. "About that I've taken a proper action. Actually I'm here to inform you of the situation in order that you can repair the damage."
