If no one will love you, I will.
"Lover's Support!"
A red pillar sprouted up from the ground, piercing a humongous purple puffer fish in the air. The camera frantically moved toward the source of the destruction.
"We're saved, it's a magical girl!"
A girl was wearing a red dress with pink hearts and ribbons plastered everywhere. She had two pink gloves which contrasted with her black leather boots. She had a small halo on the top of her head and two white condor wings on her back.
With a quick pure smile, she waved at the camera. "Hi, citizens! The magical girl of love is here to save the day!" She formed a heart in the air using her hands and winked at the camera.
But the nonhuman fans were not too pleased with her carefree attitude. Monstrous crabs crammed with spikes poking out of their bodies of decaying orange plates covered in dead soulless eyes. With claws bigger than a human's torso, they snipped and slammed her, these demonic beasts put all effort into killing.
However all their attacks were useless, instead of directly hitting her, they all struck a red barrier surrounding her. "Your Love protects me!"
*Beat Beat Beat*
From under the ground, a long and deep heartbeat could be heard. With each and every beat produced, more and more creatures gathered around her. Like insects to a flame.
Jellyfish, eels, and lobsters, numerous monsters surrounded her, dog-pilling her, trying to decimate the barrier. She clasped her hands together and placed them in front of her chest. She closed her eyes and lowered her head.
"Accept my LOVE!" A gigantic heart formed in the sky, it was dwarfing the ball of invaders below it. "Unrequited Love!" A bright light covered the entire battlefield.
*BOOM*
Nothing but white static could be seen in the camera's recording. After some time, its vision slowly returned. The camera was spinning around while it plummeted toward the ground. In its vision were the monsters and the demolished city slowly breaking apart.
It fell alongside the flesh of the monsters, the debris of the city, and the citizens' love, all slamming down into the dirt. The girl walked towards the camera with dust and flesh raining beside her.
"What a sturdy camera you are. How delightful."
The video ends and the room loses all its light. A feminine hand pushes a button on the television and the video starts again.
"Wonderful."
Inside this spacious room was a bed, a T.V., posters of magical girls, magical girl figurines, magical girl toys, paper mache, plastic tubes, and her very own magical girl suit.
With pure admiration in her eyes, she repeats the video over and over again. Her innocent smile brightens the dark room when the hero arrives and her surprised yelps escape her mouth when the explosion happens.
*BANG BANG BANG*
Her door shook from constant knocking. She pranced towards the door and rested her face on the cold wooden surface. "Is it time?"
"Yes..." A soft endearing voice penetrated through the door. "Yes, mistress. It's time."
"Perfect."
----------------------------------------
Groups of people rushed out on the roads. The citizens cause a riot as the city gets ruined by the monsters’ havoc. They piled on each other, further increasing the chaos around them. The people didn't care for each others' safety; they pushed and ran with all their might, not bothering to help those who fell.
But those fallen strangers were not the only casualties on this chaotic road. Spiders that dwarf humans all sat patiently around their scattering prey. They were covered in leaves and vegetation but the first thing a person would notice was their two arch limbs which ended in long slender spikes.
These limbs were bent and used to pierce their prey before lifting them into their carnivorous mouths. These monsters may seem like arachnids but do not be fooled, they are much more than that. They are pests that come accompanied by the worst of the worst. Invaders from another world that came to feast on the abundance of Flesh in this planet.
A Van drove into the crowd, stopping in front of the chaos. Cars were rare, very rare, only the wealthy could afford them ever since all transportation was managed by the magical girl of dreams.
"Mistress, it seems this is a great opportunity for you." She unlocked the doors of the truck and faced the girl wearing fool's clothes. "Have fun."
The girl got off and she playfully hopped past the crowd of people running. The doors of the car were instantly locked and the servant inside drove back, crushing the people behind it. The car drove away wildly, tossing the people who were stuck onto it.
"Hehehe! Here I am, the Magical Girl of Cuteness!" She did her cutest pose and smiled innocently with her mouth but not her eyes.
"Oh thank God! A magical girl!"
"Please save us!"
"I will do my best!" She rushed in and soon quickly arrived at the feet of a well fed spider. She lifted a pink rifle with cat stickers and a ribbon and shot at the beast repeatedly.
Smoke escaped the gun's barrel and the beast screamed in terror. Its arch limbs jumped at her, aiming at her corpus. But magically, with one booming sound, a bullet of a much higher caliber exploded the beast, a magical girl had appeared and eviscerated the beast's head.

"Get out of the way! What the hell are you doing!" A girl clouded in greenish-purple mist showed up, she pointed and waved a wand at the other girl. "Now answer me, what's a weirdo, wearing a magical girl’s cosplay doing here?"
"..." Silence. There was a 7-second stare-off before the magical girl responded again.
"I said answer me you fu-
"Is that a magical retro wand?!" Her hands jabbed forward, trying to grab the wand but the magical girl was able to agilely move it away. "Those are so rare nowadays! The new magical girls don't use them anymore! That is so cute! This wand is so magical girl."
"I see. You're nothing but a crazy magical girl fan. Get lost already!" She turned away and jumped up into the air. She whipped her wand to another beast and exploded its head with another shot.
Swarms of insects rushed into the street occupied by the magical girl, attracted by the sounds of carnage, this provided more fuel for the magical girl. She danced in the air, shooting down arrows of destruction into the swarm. Blood rained from the air, and bodies filled the street. The magical girl clouded in mist moved around the battlefield, killing the swarm with fury and brute strength.
The mist moved from enemy to enemy, ripping them apart and using their limbs as expendable tools of destruction. Fireflies glowed in the sky and were mostly left unscratched due to their attractive nature, fit for baiting in other monsters. The rest of insects attacking her were quickly and brutally ripped to shreds. Be it, centipedes, grasshoppers, ants or any other monstrous gigantic insect, all were eviscerated.
Meanwhile, hiding behind a conveniently cute girl shaped boulder, she peered at the battle. "Hmmm. Not cute at all. Not cute at all." She trembled in her white sneakers with excitement. "A magical girl should be more respectful, more polite to their magical girl colleague. This is not cute."
More beasts fell and more beasts came to replace them. "Cyclone Crush!" A green-handed purple hammer was created at the end of the wand. The magical girl jumped up high into the air and spun at extreme speeds before slamming the hammer down.
A humongous floating jellyfish was crushed into mush by the hammer. She then lifted the hammer from the ground and threw it at a rift in the sky. The hammer collided with the tear in the air and detonated, sealing the invaders' portal.
"Bang~"
A bullet collided with the back of her head. "Did..." The mist surrounding the magical girl scattered. A young girl wearing heavy tactical military gear and a tiara was standing with a grimace on her face.
She raised her wand and pointed it at the magical girl of cuteness. "BANG!" A bullet bigger than her head rocketed at the girl. She leaped to the side and shot multiple rounds into the magical girl.
The magical girl retaliated by dashing toward the prone girl and kicking her a few feet away. Her body bounced and tasted the rough road, tearing off flakes of skin and clothes.
"You are a bad Magical Girl!" She began crawling away. "A Magical Girl is a symbol of everything great and you are nothing but a violent murderer! Your clothes are not suited for magical girl activities! Your method of attack is nothing but crude, barbaric and dirty! You should shove in a few magic spells and a lot more fan service! Wink or Smile! Don't cover yourself in smoke and prevent the people from seeing your pure adorable self save the day! A Magical Girl should not be fighting like this! You are ignoring the people around you and focusing on killing the villains! I almost was attacked by a nasty villain but you didn't swoop in to save the damsel in distress! You pathetic useless mistake!"
She was lifted by her pink dyed hair and was punched repeatedly in the face, with each punch caving and breaking her porcelain doll-like face. With one final punch to the head, she was dropped onto the ground and kicked like a ball.
Her body rolled away and stopped in front of a pepper-covered colossal salamander. A plushie of a magical girl of love was lying next to the magical girl, it must have been dropped during the beatdown. A free toy, how nice.
"How ugly." She grabbed the toy and lifted it near her head. Meanwhile, the self-proclaimed magical girl of cuteness was being lifted by the salamander's tongue.
She pulled back the string in the back. "Love-Love Beam!" Exclaimed the doll. But before the doll could finish speaking, she launched it high into the air expecting it to detonate. But it was a dud.
"Maybe that was too cliche. "She clenched the doll and pointed her wand at it. "Say goodbye to your prized possession." With one clicking sound, the doll was vaporized by the wand, which kind of set off the explosives inside.
She hurled back in pain as her face was blasted by the burning flames of the bomb. She slapped the flames off her burnt scarred face and was instantly slashed in the eyes.
"Magical Girl Pony Ride!" The magical girl of Cuteness arrived at fast speeds covered in slob. With a quick jab with her butterfly-designed knife, she pierced the girl's eye.
"Graaaaaahhkkkaaaah!!!" The magical girl slammed her wand and broke the cute girl's wrist and pulled out the blade jammed in her eye socket. The syringe sticking to the magical girl of cuteness’ arm fell off from the immense impact of the wand.
"Damn!" Her bloodied smile, which was missing a lot of teeth, was instantly wiped off. She pulled out a Taser from her frilly blood-drenched dress and shot it at the seething half blind magical girl.
A surge of electricity flowed into the magical girl's body. As her ghastly screams filled the air, monsters began approaching her, eyeing her disgraceful failing body.
After a nonstop minute of pain, she pulled off the probes and did an instinct-driven front kick to the lunatic's stomach. With heavy breaths, she shakily aimed her wand at the fallen-over girl.
"I'm supposed to be strong. Explosions aren't supposed to hurt me. It was supposed to be just a tickle. That wasn't a tickle. My flesh is melting!"
She stumbled over near the lunatic, her mind shaking immensely and her actions sluggish.
The magical girl of cuteness, self-proclaimed let me remind you again, puked on the ground. "Hehe... Ha."
"What was that doll?! Your Taser as well! That was bad! Super evil! I have school tomorrow, how am I gonna hide this?" With her free hand she wiped the snot and tears leaking from her pale injured face.
"I'm just a cute innocent gall so I might be wrong but the bomb had something to do with plasma and the Taser was filled with my cuteness and multiple modified batteries."
"You psychopath. I'm just trying to save people and be a hero. But you." Blood streamed down her face as she lowered her wand. "You are a monster." She lifted her wand above her head and slammed her hand down trying to bash the girl's head.
*Crush*
Her body was squashed down into the ground by the salamander's foot. The sound of pained moans could be heard coming from the bottom of the foot.
"Hahaha! My cuteness prevails again!" The winner pushed herself up and began limping away. The salamander raised its foot in the space right above her.
She gazed up and let out a sob. "Magical Girl Shield!" Nothing formed around her for she was a simple normal lunatic murderer. Not a magical one.
A bright purple light flashed over the battlefield. The salamander was pushed back by a flying girl. It was the same magical girl from earlier but more vibrant and much more powerful.
Her military gear changed from black to purple and her tiara was replaced with a greenish-gray gas mask. Her wand was fused with her gloves, covering it with gems.
The Magical Girl of Combat was reborn.
Two metal claws formed at her hands and she began slashing the salamander open. She grabbed on and pulled off the skin before moving on to the next patch of slimy flesh.
She clasped her claws together and crafted herself a drill. She then started digging into the insides of the salamander, making sure to carve out everything inside. She burst out of the salamander's side and jumped back inside repeatedly.
Covered in filth, she erupted out of the dead Salamander and began raining down bullets at the newly arrived invaders. It was carnage.
"Beautiful. A Magical Girl transforming during their most needed time to save the day. How charming. Maybe I was wrong about you. But still! You are not a proper magical girl! I need to show the world my message! Change the modern magical girls to be perfect. To be CUTE! Because that is what magical girls are! They are simply vessels of hope and charm!"
She continued her crazed speech as she limped far away from the massacre. "I am the savior of the world! Cleansing all the evil in these new Magical Girls! I am the Magical Girl of Cuteness! Haha... Hmm?"
She stopped in her tracks and reached down under her skirt, a small glob of ooze was wiggling in front of her. She pulled out a gun hidden in a bag beside her thigh and began unloading it at the glob of ooze.
"Cuteness Beam!" The bullets pulverized the glob and erased all further movements of the beast. She hid the gun back and continued her limping.
"Cuteness prevails agrgaaaahhh!" She fell to her knees. It seems a spike has pierced her stomach. Her vision went hazy as her entrails splattered in front of her. "Oh, God! I don't want to die! No please!" With one glance at the pile of organs and flesh in front of her, all her adrenaline disappeared like a magic trick.
It hurt to breathe but there wasn't any time to breathe at all. Her body failed to even inhale air, her mind felt hazy, it was all like a dream to her. Was any of this real? Was this pain even something to worry about, something to pay attention to? Dreams aren't real so this should be all over any second now. No wait this is a nightmare, this pain, this demise, nonstop minutes of pain leading up to this, a nightmare. But even if this was just a nightmare, she refuses for it to end. She fears the consequence of waking up from this dream. Is there something at the end of this dream, a life, a comfy bed, a loving family, a sane mind, friends, a life belonging to somebody normal? Or simply nothing?
She clutched the hole in her stomach, it has been only mere seconds but as all dreams and nightmares do, they must end. A sharp tentacle slashed her neck, ending her life.
----------------------------------------
*Knock Knock*
"Coming..." A servant which could only be described as elegant and caring arrived at the mansion's door. She was a little hesitant in opening the door but she guessed in her mind who was the one knocking.
She opened the door and was greeted by her mistress. "Welcome back mistress. How was your first day? And just a question. Is everything alright?"
"It was wonderful." The girl passed the maid, paying no attention to the second question. She walked right to her room and locked herself inside.
She headed straight for a full body mirror. Her frilly dress was as cute as ever with no scratches or rips. Her face was the same as always, cute like a porcelain doll. Her hair was nothing unusual, pink through and through. A smile formed on her face, reaching all the way to her cheeks.
"I am Cute."
