Homura paused, taking in all of his words. It… all made sense. Everything that she had experienced now made sense! It was as if a piece had been added to a puzzle that she wasn't even aware was incomplete, and now she could see the whole picture! Madoka was one of the few islands of kindness in a vast ocean of wretchedness. And now she was thrown into that sea, completely at its mercy. Homura had been right all along. She needed to be protected. The universe depended on it. She turned towards Xehanort.\\

Some two years after the events of ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Rebellion]]'' Madoka has been living in something resembling normalcy, though with the constant feeling that something is off. Her peaceful life is shattered by the occurrence of a strange dream, followed by the appearance of strange shadowy creatures and the even stranger appearance of a giant key in her hands. It doesn't take long after that for her entire world to begin crumbling around her.

-->'''Homura''': But then, what will you do with Kingdom Hearts? What makes you different from this Maleficent?\\
'''Xehanort''': I seek to restore Kingdom Hearts to its rightful place in a balanced universe. Ever since its departure, the universe has been in a slow decline, rotting and decaying. And so I ask your help, Homura. It is not an easy burden to bear, there is much that is wrong with the World, but someone has to step up, and prevent the weak from polluting the World with their endless darkness.\\
