Well this is my first try at a Negima! story so plz be kind and review. I would love to hear your questions and I will try to answer them. So, without further adeu, here's Negima! Next Stage.
Disclaimer: I do not own Negima! or any of the references I make in this story. However, I do own any characters I make.
5 years. 5 years since the fight against Fate in Ostia. A long and drawn out affair, but in the end Negi was able to defeat Fate and secure both Asuna and the grandmaster's key. They then reversed the ritual that Fate had been casting, and returned everyone who disappeared back to the magical world. Everyone had rejoiced and made marry. However, the Ala Alba received a real shock when Negi, Asuna, and Kotaro decided to remain behind in in the magical world in order to train some more. The group made their tearful good-byes and separated.
When the group got back, they told everyone what had happened. Everyone of the girls in class 3-A held a good-bye party amongst themselves. Iincho had told them not to worry, and that Negi and the other two would return someday.

It was a cloudy downcast day at Mahora Academy when three cloaked people stepped of the train onto the platform. One of them looked around and said "Damn, never thought I see this place again while I was alive."
The other two just chuckled. Truth be told they had both felt the same thing for a while now. One of the others noticed something. He spoke up.
"Hey, guys, you notice something?"
The last one of the group, who, by the size of their chest, was a girl, answered. "No, why master?"
The first stepped in. "They've gotten lax. There's no magical detectors anywhere… Well, doesn't that just tick you off? I say we teach them a lesson, eh, bro?"
The second smirked, "Yes, let's!"
Takamichi sigh as he put the last paper in the finished box. About 4 years ago, the dean had a brilliant idea.
The dean stood behind his desk and faced all the teachers assembled before him. He smiled and said, "Well I can tell that all of you are wondering why I called you here today. Well the truth is that we're running out of money to run this school. So I've decided to turn one of the older school buildings into a college. We'll be able to get the money we need and the students who like it here can stay here."
Well at first Takamichi thought that the dean had gone crazy again, but now he had to admit that the plan was working. A lot of the students who didn't want to leave could stay and the school was out of dept.
He was about to go on a stroll around campus when he saw one of the mages-in-training run up to him. She was out of breath and muttering gibberish.
Takamichi smiled and said, "Calm down, what's the problem?"
After the girl regained her composer, she looked at Takamichi and said, still in panic, "Takamichi-sensei, please help. There are three people, mages we think, down at the train staition. We've got Haruna-chan down there fighting, but her familiar golems are being beaten down with complete ease! You need to help"
Before the word help had left her lips, Takamichi had taken off like a bullet, heading for the station. This cannot be very good, he thought, Haruna is one of our best summoners. If one of her golems is being taken down then these guys are completely on a different level than anyone whose at-the-ready at the moment. As he thought that he activated the Kanka and sped up even more.

Meanwhile, at the station, Haruna was completely taken aback by the power of the enemies that had started attacking just a few minutes ago. This was impossible. Not to mention that the sword the female of the group was swinging around at her familiars was just so damn familiar. At that moment, though, Haruna felt several energies converging on their area. She smirked knowing the calvary had finally arrived.
The three cloaked people felt them as well. The first one sensed something else though: an aura signature had appeared out of nowhere. He smirked. "Hey guys, can ya hold out without me for a bit. Got something I need to check."
The other two nodded, and the first took off. They were about to resume fighting when they felt several aura signatures appear. The second one counted the signatures. "Five. You take three and I'll take two?"
The girl smirked, "Sounds great to me!"
Ku Fei, Kaede, Nadoka, Chachamaru, and Takamichi all arrived at the same time to see Haruna get knocked out. They wonder what to do when the boy of the group, judging from his voice spoke, "Well, well, the five heavy hitters appear, eh? All right listen up my apprentice; you take Ku Fei, Kaede, and Nadoka. I'll take Takamichi and Chachamaru."
The five 'heavy hitters' shuddered at how much the boy knew. They subconsciously decided to go with what the boy had said and hurry and finish to help the others.
Meanwhile, Yuna cursed the fact she had tripped and let go of Natsumi's hand. If her aura had been caught, they would be in trouble. They being Maki, Ako, Natsumi, and herself. Just as she was about to grab Ako's hand one of the intruders appeared before her and cause a shockwave of wind magic to knock everyone over, making Natsumi drop her artifact.
The intruder smirked, "Thought so, Natsumi."
Natsumi looked surprised, "How do you know me? Who are you?"
The intruder just continued smirking, "Heh, wouldn't you like to know."
Yuna just thought, I'm getting the proverbial bad feeling about this.
Who are the three strangers? Can Ala Alba defeat them? Or will they taste utter defeat? Find out next time.
Well plz r&r!
