"There are theories. The predominant one says a blow by the Master Sword — er, a holy weapon — weakened it to the point where it would need several hundred years to fully regenerate. That's just one. Maybe its endgoal is not destruction, but power. Maybe it's still deciding. No one really knows."

Sayaka: (looks up just as static overtakes the screen) Hom...sti... (fadeout)
(Meanwhile, the spot on the Sayasphere where the Soul Gem and Chaos Emerald were begins to glow bright, green and purple out of the blue.)
Homura: (suddenly doubles over with what seems like a migrane) Ghh...!
The damned queen and the relentless knight....Fucking metaphysical indigestion... I'm no spirit doctor, but if this doesn't work...
(Mura holds her katana out in front of her
)
All desires converge to zero. All paths converge to infinity. Even the cosmos are but grass for this blade to reap!
(the demonic katana glows crimson, the whispered sweet nothings of killing gods intensifying)
Finally... I get to show off how sharp my blades really are! Juuchi Yosamu!!!
(Mura slashes downward... seemingly cutting only air)
(but, in reality, cutting the space between her and the two offending gems, such that the distance between them is shaved to less than an arm's length)
(nothing else is cut... meaning that the Emerald and Gem are instantly removed from the Sayasphere, instead falling to the ground right in front of Mura)
Yeah, I getcha. Cold War stuff with humans... keep your tech close, right?

Homura's Room
(The removal of Homura's Soul Gem from the Sphere means Homura's screen suddenly cuts out as well, and instead the body lying outside to this point starts to stir.)
Homura: (blinks, lifts head up to look at Muramasa) ... (doesn't look crazed, at least)
(Meanwhile, the bright spot on the Sphere suddenly flashes a bright light, and what is best described as cracks start to spider out from it along the surface.)
The damned queen and the relentless knight.Hey, you're there.
(since her right hand's holding the Juuchi Yosamu, Mura offers her left hand to Homura to help her up... only to immediately remember, switching her katana to her left while offering her right)
Right, am I gonna need spiritual tape... or is it cracking like an egg? Actually, I don't wanna know.
...
(folds her arms)
"Most advanced" is a pretty big claim, y'know...
Homura's Room
Homura: (halfway to taking Mura's hand when she mentions the "egg", sees the Emerald and hurriedly turns around to see the Sphere) You weren't- (snaps back and tries to swipe the Emerald from Muramasa with her right hand)
(The cracks now run about halfway to the poles, and the bright spot gets brighter, almost to the point where one can't see.)
The damned queen and the relentless knight.

"I'm wondering why a primordial evil would bother ruling when destruction seems to be the more common endgame."
