Negima Neo: Wrath of the Androids

Chapter 1: High School Drama

Mahora Academy has always been known for its outstanding grades, top notched classes and friendly faces. But one thing not many know is that Mahora Academy is also the home of the most powerful heroes of the magical world, Class 2-A. And today was a very big day for this class of girls. After a year of peace, and another school year been and passed, they were starting their new school year as Mahora Academy high school students. But in the dormitory, Konoka was dealing with another problem. And that was waking Asuna up.

"Come on Asuna! Wake up!" Konoka groaned. Asuna continued sleeping quietly in her bed, snoring loudly. Negi, Anya and Chamo waited by the door, already dressed.

"Man. Asuna sure knows how to party." Chamo sighed "We have one little party last night. And she's out like a light the next morning." Negi nodded before hearing a knock at the door. Negi opened the door to find Setsuna.

"Oh. Professor Negi. Good morning. Is Konoka in?" Setsuna asked. Negi nodded and let her in. Setsuna saw Konoka now trying to pull Asuna out of bed by her arm.

"Asuna! Oh! Don't tell me you're faking!" Konoka exclaimed. Asuna wasn't budging.

"Five more.....minutes...." Asuna snorted. Setsuna sighed and reached for her sword. Without a sound, she chopped the bed down and Asuna went crashing.

"Dow!" Asuna exclaimed.

"Setsuna. Isn't that going over board?" Konoka asked. Setsuna put her sword away.

"How else would you wake her? Sometimes, I swear Asuna sleeps like a bull." Setsuna said. Asuna groaned.

"And what does....THAT mean Setsuna?" she asked. Setsuna gave a confident smirk.

"Nevermind that Asuna. Hurry up and get dressed! We're going to be late for school!" Anya shouted. Asuna asked what she meant before looking at her alarm clock. Glaring at the time, Asuna yelled.

"It's THAT late already?! Oh man! I gotta hurry!" Asuna exclaimed. She started darting around the room like a rocket, grabbing her things. But before she went out the door, Negi reminded her that she was still in her pajamas.

"Oh! Right!" Asuna chuckled. Anya sighed.

"How can Asuna be this fast getting ready when she sleeps like THAT during the summer?" Anya asked. Negi chuckled nervously, telling Anya that it doesn't matter anymore. With Asuna finally ready, everyone headed out for the academy. Outside, the sun was shining overhead and everyone else was heading for the school as well.

"Well, this is it. Anybody nervous?" Setsuna asked.

"Huh? Whaddya mean Setsuna?" Konoka asked. Setsuna reminded everyone that this was their first day as high school students.

"Oh yeah. Well, I bet it won't be any different than when we were junior high students." Asuna said. Negi also pointed out that Asuna would be meeting new girls too.

"There's a bonus! Plus, I think the dean said something about all of us being in the same class this year too." Chamo added. Asuna smirked.

"Well, guess I'm stuck with little brat Negi for a whole year again." Asuna smirked. Negi glared at Asuna.

"What? Asuna?" Negi asked, starting to cry. But he saw Asuna glance at him and wink, showing she was kidding.

"I wonder where the other girls are. I bet they all have different classes now too." Konoka asked.

"Well, maybe we'll see them somewhere along the way today. You never know." Anya said. But she had no idea just how right she would be. When everyone made it to their classroom, they were in for a shock.

"What the?!" Asuna stuttered.

"Holy cow!" Konoka gasped.

"Im...Impossible!" Setsuna shouted.

"But it is!" Negi and Anya exclaimed. They saw that their classroom was filled with the other girls from Class 2-A as well! Every last girl, from Sayo to Zazie, was all together in the classroom. Shade was there as well, quietly reading on her desk. They even saw Evangeline and Chachamaru.

"It's our class! But....what are they all DOING here?!" Asuna shouted. Asuna was quickly heard by Haruna, noticing them at the door.

"Oh my gosh! Look guys! Asuna and the others DID come!" Haruna exclaimed. Nodoka blushed and Yue simply glanced while sipping a juice box.

"Well, whaddya know? So they did." Yue muttered.

"Hey guys! It's so great to see you!" the twins cried. Asuna and Konoka merely waved, too stunned for words.

"Ugh. I had a feeling YOU'D be here too Asuna." a voice said. Asuna looked towards the front row and saw Ayaka. Asuna groaned.

"Hello....craddle robber." Asuna muttered. Ayaka huffed and turned away. Negi was so happy to see that his whole class was together again.

"Isn't this amazing Anya? Class 2-A is all together again!" Negi exclaimed.

"Well, I admit that it's a bit of a surprise." Anya said. Suddenly, Negi and Anya both heard someone snoring. Looking towards the back, they saw someone else. It was Kotaro Inugami in a Mahora jacket!

"Is that....Kotaro?!" Asuna asked.

"What's HE doing here?" Setsuna asked. They all gathered by Kotaro and looked at the Mahora emblem on his jacket, the real deal. Kotaro suddenly woke and spotted them.

"Whoa!" Kotaro exclaimed, stumbling over. He quickly got back up and saw them again.

"Guys?! No way! You're here too?!" Kotaro asked.

"How is it YOU'RE in our class this year Kotaro?! You're just a kid!" Asuna exclaimed. Kotaro smirked.

"Let's just say....the dean felt like I was "grown up" enough to be in this class. Plus, this way, I really get to see what goes on in class." Kotaro said. Asuna groaned.

"Well, at least we have ONE new face joining us." Setsuna said. Just then, the classroom door opened again and Asuna quickly looked down. At the door was someone new as well. A young girl with silver hair was seen wearing a Mahora coat. It was Brianna Chrona.

"Br...Brianna?" Asuna asked. Brianna looked up and gasped.

"Asuna? You're here too?" Brianna asked.

"This is our classroom all right. Are....you looking for your room too?" Konoka asked. Brianna said that Dean Konoe told her that this was the right classroom earlier. Asuna laughed.

"I don't believe it. Welcome to the class Brianna!" Asuna chuckled. Brianna smiled and started looking for a seat. But right after she came in, someone else did too. Everyone looked and saw Chao Lingshen!

"Hello Mahora Academy! It's great to be back!" Chao exclaimed. Everyone gasped.

"No way! Is that....Linghshen?!" Kazumi asked. Sayo was right by Kazumi's side.

"It's amazing. She really came back!" Sayo shouted. Setsuna quickly asked Chao why she was here and she chuckled, asking if she couldn't come back and try "school life" again.

"But WHY?" Asuna asked.

"I talked with the dean. It's cool." Chao said. Negi chuckled and figured class should begin. Everyone sat down and they went through their first day quite well. It was almost as if nothing had changed during class, everyone acted the same way they did when they were middle school students. Chamo was sitting quietly on Negi's desk as the class went on. As he taught, Negi still wondered how this was possible.

"I bet anything the dean and Professor Takahata are behind this." Negi thought. At the door, the dean and Takahata were taking a quick look inside.

"Ha ha. I bet Negi and the others are questioning how they are all together again for their first year as high school students." Takahata said. The dean chuckled.

"Why break up a good thing Takahata? Besides, I always felt like these girls did their best when they were together." Konoe said. The two men chuckled and walked off, letting the girls enjoy class. After school, everyone decided they should have a class photo to celebrate the new year. They were all together out on the sports field, sitting on the bleachers, as Negi was setting up the camera.

"All right girls! Please make sure everyone is together in the shot." Negi asked. Kotaro and Brianna were also included in the photo. And just as Negi was ready, Jennifer and Julie passed by.

"Hey. Are you guys taking a picture? Can we be in it too?" Jennifer asked. Chachamaru glanced at Evangeline, who merely huffed.

"Fine. I suppose the young boy would say you're "apart of the class" too." Evangeline said. Jennifer and Julie chuckled, quickly taking a seat.

"Is everyone set?" Asuna asked. The camera counted down and when it hit zero, everyone gave a big grin and cried out "Mahora Academy!" as loud as possible. The camera took the picture and everyone chuckled shortly after.

"I can't wait for it to develop. Can we see it when it develops Professor Negi?" Sakurako asked. Negi smiled.

"I don't see why not." he said. But as everyone was smiling, they all saw a dark shadow appear and vanish.

"Hey. What's that?" Kakizaki asked.

"It looked like a bird shadow." Yotsuba said. But then, they heard a menacing laugh. Everyone quickly looked around.

"Wait a minute! I know that laugh!" Evangeline shouted. No matter where they looked, no one could spot it. But Brianna was quick to see something in the sky.

"Up there!" she exclaimed. Everyone looked to the sky and gasped. Floating above them was a man in a dark purple coat. The face beneath the hood could barely be seen.

"Oh no. Please....don't tell me it's...." Asuna stuttered. Shade was too stunned to speak. The man pulled his hood down and it showed a purple skinned man with pointy ears and long black hair. His eyes were black and red, giving a devilish grin.

"It's GRAGON!" the girls screamed. Shade, Negi and Asuna gasped, seeing their dark nemesis once again.

"Hello Mahora Academy brats! Have you missed me?!" Gragon exclaimed, going into a loud menacing laugh shortly after.
