Yuriko: Hi, everyone! Yuriko here~ this is my first fanfic. I actually wrote this for my writing class, and since my teacher enjoyed it, I hope that you guys do too!

This takes place a couple centuries after the end of MSN! (Though of course it didn't end yet)

Here, Negi-kun's alternative plan to save the Magic World worked, and his descendants have kept it alive for all of these years. Next, it is Magenta's job to protect the Magic World; but Centum Averruncus, Fate's descendant, will definitely try to stop Magenta by holding her captive. What will happen now?

Enjoy the prologue of Mahou Shoujo Magenta!

Prologue: Captured

Magenta opened her eyes to a gloomy and endless darkness. She could feel the icy cold of chains around her body as it engulfed her into a ball of silver; they cut mercilessly into her wrists, ankles and other exposed parts of her body, giving the air a faint scent of blood. She didn't bother moving; she was already tired of the weight of the chains from her uncomfortable sitting position on the ground.

Magenta was confused. The emptiness of her small stomach, the heaviness of her head, and the smell coming from her hair and hands struck her dumb; she couldn't even talk.

She tried to get up, and could only gasp as the chains cut deeper into her skin and shocked her with electric waves. She drooped to the ground, chains clanging together loudly, completely useless, unconscious from shock.

There were two people, one male, and one female, in a room above the dark prison, who were looking down on the powerless girl underneath. The female was a tall and slender with a very unusual light complexion. Despite her pretty appearance, she was what you could call a 'bad guy'. Centum Averruncus was a very strong mage, who was born into a notoriously dangerous ancestry, the Averruncus family; they were specially known for their tactics to destroy the Magic World. She was no different.

Centum's shocking white hair danced as she howled at the showcase. She turned to the male who had choppy black hair with tears in her dull green eyes. "Can you believe it?" Centum Averruncus began with her slight accent, still choking from her laughter. "The great Magenta Innocentia Libertas Springfield Rainyday, the last descendent of the Thousand Master, Nagi Springfield, and his son the prodigy, Negi Springfield, is sitting right there in melancholy, unable to do anything?" She spread her arms freely, cackling wildly, unable to control herself. "That plan was just brilliant! BRILLIANT!"

The male, Dev Fulmen, who was Centum's assistant, and also a very dangerous person, finally spoke as his master's laughter gradually came to a stop. "Do you think that the mental lock will be able to hold her until the ceremony?"

Centum glanced back at her assistant with confidence. "That one? Pssh. I put so many binding spells that she can't even talk!" she pointed down at Magenta through the light-proof floor. "That has to keep her long until that day!"

Her smile disappeared when Dev left as Centum realized how Magenta's magic energy and natural abilities still remained. Her magic energy was much too strong to hold back; she had learned every element, including dark magic. There was her physical ability too; she had studies every single martial art in both the Magic World (Mundus Magicus) and the Real World (Mundus Veras). She had almost no weakness. Though she hated to admit it, Centum was actually jealous of Magenta; she was jealous of the redness of the hair, the fairly tanned skin, fit body and unlimited power. She shook her head. Pretty soon I am going to get unlimited power!

Centum eased into her office chair and sighed as she looked back on her plan; Magenta had suffered from heartbreak, and Centum's group had used that opportunity to capture the legend. Her ancestor, Tertium, or Fate Averruncus would never approve; he had liked to take things head-on, especially with Negi Springfield, who was the same age.

She smiled at the thought. She liked how Magenta and she were fated to each other as rivals long before they were born. It made Centum have a goal in life. She looked down at the doll-like figure again. And soon, that goal will be completed!

Centum began to think ahead. She had only now remembered that Magenta was in a group, like Nagi's Ala Rubra and Negi's Ala Alba, it consisted of many of the descendents of the heroes in Negi's time, like his stubborn friend, Kotarou, and the mind reader, Nodoka. Definitely dangerous people indeed, she thought. She suddenly smirked. They must be powerless without their main leader!

However, Centum couldn't ignore the fact that they would definitely come up with something. If anything could get them fired up, it was Magenta. They will absolutely try to take her back! She slammed her small fist on a table, easily breaking it. She cackled evilly. "Come then!" She yelled out. "Bring in your little friends! Let's see what you've got without your leader, Ala Crystallum!"

TO BE CONTINUED…

Yuriko: So…how was it? I hope you liked it! In the next chapter Ala Crystallum will try to think of a plan! What do you think they will do to get Magenta back? Please review, and till next time! ^.^
