=Combatants=

Mattias Nilsson
Mattias Nilsson is a Swedish mercenary formerly in the employ of the PMCs Tactical Solutions and Executive Operations. Before that, Nilsson was a member of the Swedish Lapland Rangers, and after that, a member of a biker gang who is currently wanted in his home country. Nilsson is known for being exceedingly enthusiastic in the deployment of explosives, armored vehicles, and air strikes, and lives for the excitement of his career, caring little for who he works for, but he does have a soft spot for the "little guy" just trying to get by and is loyal to his (few) real friends and allies.

Akemi Homura
Hailing from the anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Akemi Homura is a dark deconstruction of the cliche anime "magical girl". Homura became a magical girl after making a contract with a mysterious cat-like creature known only as "Kyuubey", in exchange for the power to go back in time to prevent the death of her friend Madoka Kaname, going through several alternate time streams in her quest to save Madoka. Later in the series, Homura discovers there is more to her contract than what Kyuubey told her. Homura possesses the power of time travel and manipulation, as well as a "hammerspace", she uses to store her many stolen weapons. As Homura has no offensive magic, she uses her time manipulation powers to steal weapons such as assault rifles and rocket launchers from the Yakuza, JSDF, and U.S. military.

=Note= In this battle, Homura will NOT be allowed to use time manipulation magic, only her "hammerspace" to store her weapons, and magical strength enhancements she may use to wield them.
