Okay then here's the second chapter of the Negima Chronicles! Oh and just so you know the chapters in the chapter select are named after the person who introduces the episode in the anime.
Remember that I only own Mark and not Negima and Nikki belongs to my friend Invader Zatr
(Title sequence from Negima season two goes up with the theme song but when Negi and Asuna are running Nikki is next to Asuna and Mark is running on the desks parallel to Negi)
Chapter 2: Wait! That's how you make a propationary contract? By Asuna
Nikki's POV
I saw Mark summon the sword from out the back of his hand. At first it looked like an armblade but the the hilt appeared and Mark gripped it with his right hand. He then wrapped the chain around his left hand. Evangeline saw this and laughed. "You think that a sword and chain can hurt me?" Mark only replied by swinging his left arm and thirteen black, silver, pale blue wolves attacked the vampiress and Negi also unleashed a magical blast. Something blocked it and Evangeline was furious. "How? Only tenyears old and that strong just like his father." She then looked at Mark. "And you! No magical energy is radiating from your body and yet you used such a powerful attack! What are you?" Mark looked at her and I saw sadness in his eyes.
"I'm just a guy looking for a place to die." Mark replied with a sigh. Evangelina froze for a moment but then flew off and at the same time Mark went inside. I was starting to worry about him when I heard Setsuna, Yue and Haruna come and decided it was best to disappear so I went in as well but I ran into Ako and Yuna.
"Hey, Nikki." Yuna greeted me. "What happened outside?" I needed to think quickly and it hit me.
"Konoka and Nodoka were attacked so I ran inside to find a phone to call some one." I explained. I was sorry for lying to them but I juat can't tell them about Evangeline can I? Just then every one who was outside except Negi came in and Konoka and Nodoka said they were fine and I didn't need to call any one. I told them that that was good and that I was going to get some sleep. When I changed and layed down Mark's answer still echoed in my head. "Why is he looking for a place to die? How can he be so morbid?" These thoughts stayed with me until I finally drifted to sleep.
Next Morning
Mark's POV
"Heya kiddo!" Nathanial yelled at me in my head. Sometimes it sucks having a real psycho for an alternate personality.
"What?" I yelled back in my head. I really didn't want to talk to him but he'd annoy the living hell out of me if I ignored him.
"My boob senses are tinglin! I think tha hot brunette is leanin over our body! Let's see if we can see down her shirt!" Though I couldn't seem him I knew he had on his inhumanely large and evil grin on his face.
"What the hell is wrong with you? She's my student, I shouldn't be checking out her goods even if she does look like Tifa and Aerith's love child from FFVII." I said remembering what a fellow fanfiction author had told me she looked like. Just then I felt a headache created by Nathanial and I opened my eyes to see right down Chizuru's shirt like Nathanial wanted. I( felt my face grow hot and I saw Chizuru's face and she was smiling at me. "Uh...sorry didn't mean to look." I said sheepishly.
"It's okay it's kinda my fault any way." Chizuru straightened up and I got out of bed. She left my room and this time instead of the suit I put on jeans with that strange chain that I decided to call the Chain of the Night Pack while I had seen the name on my sword's hilt and found out it was called Moon's Nightmare, a black belt, and a white button-up that was open to reveal my black shirt that had the Heartless symbol in crimson. "I may look less profesional but at least I feel comfortable even though the suit felt cool too." I thought before putting on my gloves. I grabbed a bagel with some cream cheese and was on my way out when I ran into Nikki who was standing infront of it and in true Negima style I was on top of her in an awkward way but luckfully I had the sense to jump off.
"Yo Nikki!" I greeted as she got up. "You okay?"
"Yeah." She assured me. I noticed she also slack a little on her appearence by just wearing jeans and a T-shirt. "Wanna walk together?" I nodded and we both set out for the school. We had been walking in silence for ten minutes when she blurted out, "Why do you want to die?" She looked at my face and saw that I was calm as if it didn't effect me.
"Horrible people need to die." I said simply. "And I'm one of the worst. All my thoughts are dark and destructive. Why else would the Goddess of Black Magic make me her champion?"
"Maybe she sees something you don't in you. After all darkness is not evil. I don't know what it is but it isn't evil." Nikki ran on ahead and I smiled.
"You're right it isn't." I said aloud. "It's nothingness and that is all I have ever known. If you knew the true reason why I wanted to die you would say that I should help Evangeline." I laughed as I thought about the true reason I wished to die: to end my despair and misery.
Nikki's POV
"How can he think he's horrible?" I asked myself as I went into the classroom. "He acts so kind and he defended Nodoka, and Konoka last night. I mean sure Moon maybe the Goddess of Black Magic and made him her champion but that doesn't mean he's evil. I know we're friends but why do I care so much?" Mark and Negi had entered the room at the same time and class started and that's when Negi noticed that Evangeline and Chachamaru weren't in class again. Yuna noticed. "Oh don't worry. Evangeline and Chachamaru always do this."
Negi nodded. "Okay then some one will have to tell them what's going on later then." He noticed Mark was walking out the door. "Mark? Is something the matter?"
"No. I just got a headache." Mark replied with a hand to his head. "I'll be back in fifteen minutes I promise." Mark then walked out. I told Negi I would go with him to make sure he didn't have a bad disease or a more serious problem and Negi nodded. I caught up to Mark who went into another room and waved his right hand and we were in Moon's rose garden again. Moon was sitting at the same table with Sun next to her and they looked like they were expecting us.
"So then Mark." Moon said as she smiled. "Seems like you found my gifts useful." Mark nodded. "Allow me to explain them to you in some detail. The sword is called Moon's Nightmare and is created to give the wielder incredible agility and if they are my champion they will be able to wield it like a matser without training. It also has the power to negate magic shields. The chain however is not named."
"Actually it is now." Mark said. "I call it the Chain of the Night Pack."
Moon smiled even more as she walked up to Mark and kissed him on both cheeks. "A perfect name for you. The chain is not named but everybody usually calls it Moon's Chain and it was getting boring. It will allow you to use your spirit to attack others. In your case your spirit is that of a wolf so you get wolf like attacks like last night. What do you call it?"
"Hunt of the Night Pack." Mark answered and Moon nodded. I decided to speak up.
"Um why don't I have any thing like Mark does?" I asked and Sun looked at me.
"Simple. Your gift is inside of you. All you need to do is enter the Pact." Sun said and she and Moon giggled and I heard Mark groan.
"What is it Mark?" I asked.
"You need to make a Pactio with Negi to get your gift. I got mine because there is no way I am kissing a boy." I went red at the thought of making a Pactio with Negi but I knew I had to do it. Sun and Moon dismissed us and Mark and I headed back to class.
That Night
Mark's POV
I knew that Evangeline was going to attack so I got prepared by wrapping the Chain of the Night Pack on my left arm and and I created a few new moves like Howling Guardian that created a shield, Tundra's Shadow which summoned an ice wolf, and Lone Hunter which increased my speed for awhile. I heard Negi, Takahata, and Evangeline outside and sighed. "Maybe I'll get to die tonight."
"Don't get yer hopes up kiddo." Nathanial told me. Since when was he ever right?
Yeah! Chapter 2 is done if you dpon't like it that's okay since it didn't follow episode 2 a lot but that's because it's my least favorite episode. See ya for chapter 3!
