Homucifer: (smirk) Only time will tell.
Homura: (Kyoko) ...this shouldn't be your fight, Kyoko. (quick glance at Clarice, holds out her hand and summons her Soul Gem - normally purple but now pock-marked with greenish bubbles of various sizes - for Clarice to see as she slowly approaches Homucifer)

not!Homura: I recall that.

Gray!Homura: (steps forward to face Homucifer, Soul Gem in hand) ...I won't ask for any last words from you. Because they will not be your last words...they will be ours. As much as you despise me and everything that I am, as much as I had dreamed about life without the destruction and misery you have brought...you are still a part of me. A part that I could not ignore.
Backyard
not!Homura: (looks up at the roof, holds out a hand towards where Homucifer is standing) ...do you think she will be able to have more than one?
Roof
(The stocks around Homura's wrists glows brighter and Homucifer will be unable to move her arms as much as her face says she tries.)
Homucifer: And what of your...new interests? (glances around at the others present) You cannot serve two masters - you know that.
Homura: They are not my masters. They are my friends. Madoka is our love, but the only thing to master here...is me and you.
(She places her Soul Gem next to the fancy Soul-Gem-earring of Homucifer's, both of them gritting their teeth and hiss as the contents inside Homucifer's Soul Gem seem to be sucked out of the earring and into the bubbles in Homura's Soul Gem. Homucifer's whole body seems to glow brighter and brighter, soon only showing Gray!Homura's silhouette as she seems to get younger before their eyes if they could see through the light.)

not!Homura: (lowers her hand and looks back at Julie) I suppose we'll just have to wait and see, then?
Roof
(When the glow fades Homucifer is gone, the only things left where she stood are the now-empty stocks and what looks like a small purple, glowing salamander crawling around on top of them. Homura, now back to her normal teenage girl look, collapses onto her knees on the top of the roof, her eyes shut, teeth grit, and breathing hard as the fuzzy-looking Homucifer-style wings flared out slowly recede into her back.)
Sayaka: Homura! (hurries next to her)
Two more posts, unfortunately - sorry Spaz

not!Homura: ...including herself, I hope. Please excuse me - I must attend to Mistress now. (heads inside)

Homura: (Kyoko, through heavy breaths) ...as I said she is a part of me, as much as it hurts. A big part. But I won't let her dictate me again, because I care about you guys as well. (looks over at Sayaka) And I know it can be done.
Sayaka: (surprised a little, then lets out a small smile) Come on, let's get you back to your room. We can sort all this out later when you're rested.
Homura: (nods)
Sayaka: (Kyoko) Sorry this ended up being your "welcome back", Kyoko.
Must shower and sleep now

Hope you won't try anything else funny, 'Homura'.
