It's night. The full moon has just arisen in the sky. Evangeline's house is quiet. I walk up to her door, with a letter in my hand. "Alright. It looks like we've got a challenge here from Lord Destroyer, son of the Demon Queen Lilith. He should be here soon. Though, I think that for battles, it's best to make sure your opponent is as ticked off as possible before starting."

I then write something on a slip of paper, and slip it under Evangeline's door. "Okay, I'm going to get out of the way now, and we'll let this challenge commence."

After a few moments, Lord Destroyer walks up to Evangeline's door. He was extremely confident about this upcoming battle, certain that he would emerge the victor. Tonight, and over the course of the next few, he would be stronger than ever. He saw no way for Evangeline to even stand a chance against him. He knocked on the door, and waited for her to answer it.

When Evangeline opened the door, she was holding a slip of paper in her hands, paying more attention to that then her visitor. Then she finally looked up at him. "Are you Lord Destroyer? The same guy who insulted me on the other fics?!!"

"Yes." He answered. "And I am here to cha…"

"You called me a short twerpy shrimp?! What is it with the name calling?" Evangeline asked, a tone of annoyance in her voice as she showed him the slip of paper. It said, 'Hey Evangeline! Guess what! Lord Destroyer says you're a short twerpy shrimp!'

"Does that make you mad?" Destroyer asked. "If someone hadn't given you a note saying that, then I would've said it to your face anyways. There's no way you can beat me. Understand? So maybe you're the one who should give up, even before this fight starts."

Evangeline was now red with rage. "Is that what you think? Just who do you think I am? I'm the Dark Evangel! Feared in this world and the Magical World! It's you who should quit."

"You really think I care?" Destroyer asked. "Let's just get on with this."

"You seem rather confident," Evangeline said, raising one hand toward the sky. "I bet that changes once you're dead." She then began to chant one of her most powerful spells. A spell that she had used to kill many before. "To sumbolaion diakonētō moi, hē krustallinē basileia! Epigenēthētō, taiōnion erebos, Haiōnie Krustalle! Pasais Zōais ton Ison Thanaton, hos Ataraxia! Kosmikē Katastrophē!"

The temperature around the two had dropped significantly while Evangeline was reciting her spell. It was something far below freezing. Normally, if the spell was executed right, the opponent would be trapped in a pillar of ice, and then break apart. Evangeline watched Destroyer closely. Nothing had happened to him. Nothing at all.

"Why didn't that work?!," She asked, confused. She'd never had that spell fail on her before. And she was certain that she'd chanted right.

" I can neutralize magic, just like Kagurazaka-san can.," Destroyer answered. " Meaning, that your magic won't work on me."

" Damn it," Evangeline murmured. " It'd figure I'd get a challenge from a Magic Canceller." Then she disappeared. Destroyer looked behind him, expecting her to appear there in an attempted surprise attack. She wasn't there though. He looked around. He couldn't see her anywhere, nor could he sense her presence.

" Did she, leave?," He asked himself. " Have I…won?"

" I'm not one to run," Evangeline's voice echoed around him.

Destroyer looked around himself again, trying to find Evangeline someplace, and concentrating hard to sense her presence. He couldn't though. He laughed at that slightly. I'm the son of the Demon Queen, and King of the Wolves. I'm a trained Jedi. I can turn into a machine and I'm a mage for crying out loud and I still can't sense a stupid little vampire girl!

Suddenly, Destroyer was interrupted from his thoughts by a sharp pain in his wrist. He looked to see that the main vein in his right wrist was cut and spurting blood. He then noticed Evangeline standing in front of him. " If I can't kill you using magic, I supposed I'll have to resort to more mundane tactics now, won't I?"

" Nice try," Destroyer said, his entire body suddenly becoming robotic. " I can't be defeated!"

" So, you're really a robot?," Evangeline asked.

" If I want to be," Destroyer answered. " And in this form, the wound you gave me can completely heal in an instant!"

" Well, if that's the way you want to play…," Evangeline said, looking over her shoulder. " Now." Chachamaru seemed to appear out of nowhere as she ran at Destroyer with an almost blinding speed. A second before she could hit him, Destroyer jumped out of the way.

" You're a coward Evangeline. Having to have your robot fight you battles for you."

" Well," Evangeline said. " It said nowhere in the rules that I couldn't have help."

Chachamaru then began firing several missiles at Destroyer. Destroyer dodged them, and then ran at Chachamaru while reciting a spell. "Frost spirits, by divine right of wolves of northern polar region, let loose your justice, blizzard fury!" Chachamaru attempted to dodge the attack, but she wasn't fast enough. When she was hit, her entire body became encased in ice, and she fell to the ground, her systems quickly losing power.

Destroyer then turned to Evangeline. " I'm here to fight you, not your puppet."

" Have it your way.," Evangeline said, disappearing once again.

" Coward," He muttered as he once again waited for her to strike. Even in his robot form, he couldn't sense at all where the vampire-mage was.

***

Mahora Academy- Nodoka's room.

Nodoka Miyazaki was sitting on her bed, reading a book. She was alone in the room, and was quite happy that nothing could distract her at the moment. She'd happened to be reading a romance novel, where the main character fell in love with a nice, shy, quiet girl that had a crush on him for a while.

" Miyazaki."

Nodoka jumped at the sound of the voice, and then turned to see Evangeline right there beside her. " O-oh! H-hello E…"

" Quiet. You're coming with me, got it?"

" But.. wh-why?," Nodoka asked.

" Because I need your help," Evangeline said, grabbing Nodoka by the arm and then dragging her out of the room.

*** Engineering Lab

Satomi Hakase had just finished writing a report on what would happen if her robots went out of control and tried to take over the world. She found that such a situation would be quite fascinating, but was no at all tempted to actually invoke that outcome.

" Hakase, come on."

" Evangeline?," Satomi asked, turning to see the vampire girl standing there with Nodoka in her grasp. " What in the world are you…?"

" Don't ask. Just come on," Evangeline said, also grabbing Satomi. Then, she once again disappeared.

***Back to where Destroyer is becoming annoyed of waiting.

Evangeline reappeared a few feet away from Destroyer, with Nodoka and Satomi at her sides. Evangeline pointed to the frozen Chachamaru. " Satomi. Do something about her." Then she turned to Nodoka. " We're in the middle of a battle. I suppose you know what to do?"

" Um.. I, I think so," Nodoka said nervously.

" HEY!," Destroyer said, becoming even more annoyed. " That's cheating!"

" Well, well," Evangeline said. " No one said that I couldn't have help, now did they? And besides, I'm an evil mage. Did you actually expect me to play by the rules?"

" Heh. Well, let's see how you handle this!," With that, he began to shoot bullets of Holy Water at Evangeline. Normally she could dodge a bullet, but these were coming on far too fast. When they hit her, the effect was like that of a paintball hitting someone. When he stopped firing, Evangeline was on the ground, and soaking wet. She got up shakily, and stared at Destroyer. He seemed surprised to actually see her get up.

" What is wrong with you?!," Evangeline asked, now extremely ticked. " I walk in the light of day, I wear a damn cross for crying out loud, and you try to harm me with one of the most obvious kill a vampire tactics?! Holy Water?! I mean come on!"

" Gah! Well fine then freak!," Destroyer yelled. " Take this!" With that, he began to chant another spell. "Fire spirits, take form of swords, and rain down from above, meteor swords!" At that, dozens of flaming swords poured down from the sky, each seeming to dissolve when it hit the ground. However, one target hit with such an attack, would be injured severely.

" Evangeline! You need the Aqua Hammer to counter!," Nodoka yelled, jumping out of the way of three swords that were coming at her. She was now reading out of a book that was levitating before her.

" Gah. That artifact," Destroyer said to himself. " As long as she's got that, she'll always know my next move!"

Evangeline jumped out of the way of a few of the Meteor Swords, and raised her hands to the air. " Lic Lac La Lac Lilac! Mallus Aquilonis!" A barrier of water formed above Evangeline, Satomi, Nodoka, and Chachamaru, protecting them from the remainder of Destroyer's attack.

Destroyer sighed. " Well, looks like I'm going to have to start getting serious here. Though, first, that artifact needs to go! Frost spirits, take form of spears, fly forth and impale mine foe, comet spear!" A spear of ice shot forward at Nodoka's book.

" Oh damn it," Evangeline said to herself. She pushed a frightened and un-moving Nodoka to the ground, but the spear changed direction and still managed to hit the book. Nodoka let it go and ran behind Satomi, who was now using a super high-tech blow dryer to defrost Chachamaru.

Nodoka's book became encased in ice, and then changed back into her Pactio Card. The card floated up into the air, and then, broke into several pieces.

" You destroyed her Pactio," Evangeline said to Destroyer. " It takes quite a bit of power to accomplish something like that."

" That was a weak spell kid," Destroyer said. " And now, it's time to go hard core!"

" Whatever," Evangeline said, rolling her eyes. " Miyazaki, go see Negi about renewing that Pactio. You shouldn't be on the battlefield without that artifact."

" But, you're the one who brought me here!," Nodoka stated.

" I don't care. Just go."

" O-okay," Nodoka said, running back towards the girl's dorm.

" Show me what you've got then," Evangeline said.

" Fine then. You asked for it."

He then began firing several missiles at Evangeline, certain that there was no way she could dodge all of them.

" Idiot," Evangeline said, disappearing again.

She always runs and hides…, Destroyer thought to himself. Is she really this much of a coward?

He stood and waited for her to reappear somewhere once again. Then he felt something sparking in his shoulders. He looked to see that his right and left arms had been severed, and the wires that ran through them were sparking like crazy.

I didn't even feel that…, He thought. He then transformed back to human from his robotic from, his arms reattaching as he did. So that's her game. Evasiveness…

Evangeline was now up in a tree right beside Destroyer looking down at him. She pondered the situation. I can't use spells against him. Supposing now I could actually deal damage to him, he could just transform again. Then the effort would be a waste. Without Miyazaki here, I can't tell what his next move is either. I'll have to strike, and not give him one second of time to recover. If that doesn't work… there's either Chachamaru, or Plan B.

She then jumped down at Destroyer from being, and began to pummel him with close range Aikido attacks. None of which, seemed to be having any effect. Damn it! This isn't working!

As Evangeline kept hitting, Destroyer chanted as spell. "Fire spirits, by righteous rage of dragon demon wrath, unleash your might, fire fury!" Upon hearing it, Evangeline tried to jump out of the way, but ended up still getting blasted by the attack. She'd sustained a few sever burns.

Still, even if I can't use my magic against him, I can't be beaten that easily. Evangeline quickly healed her injuries, and then jumped out of the way of an ice arrow attack Destroyer had fired at her during her recovery. She looked over to Chachamaru, who still hadn't been totally defrosted yet. That won't work either.

Destroyer fired a blast of fire from his hand at Evangeline. This time she was able to jump out of the way of the attack. He can deflect offensive spells. So that's no good. Close range attacks don't seem to be working either.

Destroyer then created two crescent blades of chi and came at Eva with an incredible speed that not even she herself could believe. She tried to dodge his attack, but ended up getting slashed several times. She fell to the ground, her body covered in deep slash marks. While she was down, Destroyer concentrated some of his chi and Force energy into one of his hands, and powerful magic into the other. He then combined them to create a more powerful variation of the Kankaho Technique.

Destroyer then cupped his hands together sideways, and began building up energy between them.

Evangeline had lost quite a bit of blood, but she had managed to heal herself. She stood up, still not seeming to have fully recovered from Destroyer's last attack. At that moment, Destroyer unleashed his most powerful attack against her. The Super Nova Blast. Evangeline had no time to evade it. The extremely powerful blast of energy hit her full force.

" Wow," Satomi said, looking away from Chachamaru for a moment.

Just then, Chachamaru's eyes snapped open. " Master!" She tried to get up, but Satomi forced her down.

" No! You're not completely repaired yet!"

Evangeline lay on the ground, now completely unconscious. She is covered in blood.

" Master!," Chachamaru yelled again, knocking Satomi away from her and running to Evangeline. It was hard to detect any vital signs coming from her, and if she were human, that attack would have surely killed her. " She needs blood. Satomi, do something."

" Alright," Satomi said, managing to lift Evangeline onto her shoulders and get her to the nurse, and some of the other magic teachers.

Chachamaru turned to Destroyer. " I commend you for dealing so much damage to Master. Now I must destroy you." Chachamaru runs at him, ready to blast him with her laser when I, Karai, run in front of her.

" It's over Chachamaru." I say to her. Then I turn to Lord Destroyer. " Congratulations Lord Destroyer! You have defeated the Dark Evangel! Our first chapter, and we already have a victor! Good strategies."

" I apologize for trying to attack you after the match," Chachamaru said, bowing. " It was uncalled for."

*Later…after Evangeline has been healed by the medical staff and other magical teachers, and Chachamaru is fully repaired…

There are people of the media standing around Lord Destroyer. Ahead of all of them is Kazumi, who has decided to play interviewer. " So, Lord Destroyer, how does it feel to beat the infamous Dark Evangel?"

" You make it seem like such a big feat," Destroyer said. " I mean, I knew I was gonna be able to beat that shrimp!"

" I see," Kazumi said. " Do you think that the outcome would have been different if you didn't have your magic?"

" Even without that, I still could have beaten her with one hand tied behind my back.," Destroyer replied.

" Well, there's confidence for ya," Kazumi said. " And now, we have some commemorative items for you in honor of your feat!"

I come through the crowd carrying the stuff. I hand Destroyer a shirt that says, 'I have defeated Dark Evangeline!', a pin saying 'I won!', and a gold trophy with Destroyer's name written on it. After giving Destroyer the items, I turn to Kazumi. " Asakura-san. Are we going to give that stuff to everyone who survives?"

" Probably, why?," Kazumi asked.

" How can we afford that stuff? This isn't a high budget fic, is it?," I ask.

" Oh? Well then you might end up owing people some money after this is all through…," Kazumi said, starting to walk away. Then Evangeline comes up beside her, and hands her something.

" What's this?," Kazumi asked.

Evangeline whispered to her what it was for, then she came back up to Destroyer. " Um, it looks like we have something else for you. Here." She hands him a piece of candy. " Sorry. We would've given you a full bag of candy, if we had more money in our budget."

Destroyer accepts the candy from her and eats it. " Well, this has been fun. Now I should be on my way!"

Just as he starts to leave, he falls unconscious to the ground.

" What happened?!," I ask.

" I can't believe that worked.," Evangeline said, staring at Destroyer.

Kazumi took a step back from Destroyer. " That candy… was poisonous, wasn't it?" Evangeline nodded. Kazumi looked around, panicked, and shouted. " We need a medic team here fast!"

As the medics arrived and took Destroyer to be healed, Evangeline smiled. " Revenge is sweet, isn't it?"

END?!

And that concludes Lord Destroyer's challenge! Congratulations on defeating the Dark Evangel! And don't worry about the way that ended. You survived, Lord Destroyer, and it still counts as you defeating Evangeline, even if she did get a little bit of revenge.

But will our second Challenger be able to best Eva as well? You'll have to keep reading to find out! And remember, if you think you've got what it takes to defeat Evangeline as well, review and challenge her. Maybe you'll be able to defeat her as well, and maybe not. Keep in mind that not everyone is guaranteed to survive. Plan your strategy carefully!
