Chapter one: The Dream

Everything was dark. The rooms, the bath and even his own hand looked frightened by the gloomy atmosphere. He ran looking for a ray of hope. Rescuing the others was the only thing on his mind. In the baths, Setsuna was to be found protecting Konoka. Her opponents and the invaders of Mahora fought strangely. The darkness covering their face one could only determine that the invaders were humanoid and were also mages. Rushing to help, he finds himself smashed upon a magic barrier of water.

" No good, it's impenetrable."

Outraged by his inability to help, he immediately flees to look for another entrance. Suddenly screams filled the air. Screams of terror and battle come beseeching in the cafeteria.

"Setsuna is strong. She can protect Konoka. I have to go , there may be innocent bystanders lurking about."

He rushed in finding both the library duo and the sports girls staring a few enemies in the eye. Flying, he races to protect them only to see Yue blow him away with wind magic. We're fine. You gotta go and save others. Suddenly one of the invading mages pulled out a sword. Yue meeting the challenge brought our her old Ariadne sword and charged it up with magic. Catching her blade with a anti-metal magic hand, the enemy swooped his(or her) leg into Yue's fist and slamming the blade out her hand. While the "mage"( I'll use that term for now) was distracted with getting the sword away, Yue turned into a crouching position preparing for a white lightning uppercut.

This was all he saw as the wind blew him to far too make out their movements, but he could determine that Yue would give it her all to protect the others.

He kept running. In the streets of Mahora there were dead bodies everywhere. Remembering they couldn't be healed was the worst thought in his mind. He finally located a strong magical force from the World Tree. He practically floated his way there using magic to boost his speed. Losing balance, the young mage crashed into bushes. There he could see that Asuna and Iincho was fighting another "mage". Iincho ,with no idea what was happening as she didn't know about magic, was getting her ass kicked by a superb "mage". Asuna practically using her sword to shield Iincho was finally running out of breath. Ready for anything, he jumped out to save them only to be stopped by a unpleasant hand. Turning around he saw what was the weirdest thing in all he has seen yet.

The face whispered quietly into the young mage's ears.

Not yet. Don't do anything aren't ready for the fight of your life.

"What do you think you're doing, Baka Negi.!"

Asuna screamed like she usually did except this time she pushed him off. Negi found himself on the regular floor in the regular room of the regular people he lived with. Konoka was in bed dreaming her little dreams. Asuna looked like she just met Michael Jackson.

"So it was just a dream" Sighed Negi, relieved that nothing bad happened.
