Visiting New Worlds-Chapter 10

By NegimaFan

A/N: Sorry it took so long with this chapter, I was suffering a minor writer's block. Concern the spells in my story, Negi and Eva's spells will still be in Latin for the most part, as for most of the other spells, since my knowledge of the language is limited, I will stick to just describing the spells. My fighting descriptions won't be terrific, I'm sure, considering writing was always one of my worst skills. Anyways, on with the next chapter.

Jason was desperately trying to avoid the attacks of the Doom Force, but the four of them were faster than he expected. Not to mention that they had mechanical upgrades that improved there fighting skills a great deal. "Give it up, you can't beat all of us,"Kaoru said.

"I don't have to beat you," Jason said, "I just have to fight you until help arrives, I mean, how much longer until this castle discovers where the fighting is taking place?"

Kaoru grinned, "Oh, I think Negi and the rest are going to be a little preoccupied."

Jason's smiled faded, "What do you mean?"

"You think we're the only ones who infiltrated the castle? We're not idiots; our employer knew that this castle would be on alert, so he hired some help to ensure the mission was a success."

Jason was starting to worry, "Help?"

XOXOXO

Negi was furious, 'How could this have happened?' Negi thought, 'How could a group of mages get this far into the castle without alerting the guards?'

Negi, the Royal Knights, Chachamaru, and Asuna were facing the castle's intruders, five cloaked mages. Now, normally five mages would not be a problem, however, these mages had also had an apparent alliance with some of the rouge demons and had summoned over 200 powerful demons to aid them in battle. Ayaka and Asuna were currently battling side-by-side, Ayaka slashing at the demons with her sword, and Asuna banishing them with her harisen. Makie was battling the demons with her magical ribbon. Now, at first glance, the ribbon may appear to be quite flimsy, however, when used as whip it, the strike from it can send a person twice her size flying across the room. Yuna was fighting one of the mages with her personal magic pistols. Aside from Mana, Yuna was the best shooter in Mahorida, and was proving it when she broke through one of the Mage's defenses and shot him clear in the head, knocking him out(A/N: The Magic guns she is using are not made for killing people, only for knocking them out and banishing demons.)

While the battle was occurring, one of the demons snuck up behind Negi, and prepared to strike, "So long, brat…Urk!" the demon's chest had just been impaled by Akira's Javelin.

"Negi-sama," Akira said, after pulling her Javelin free and banishing the demon, "get out of here! We'll get rid of these guys; we cannot risk something happening to you!"

"No, Akira-san," Negi said, "I will not abandon my comrades, or my friends for that matter."

"But-"

"Ha, Ha, Ha," one of the mages laughed a Negi's statement, "Are you serious kid? You cannot beat all of us, you're clearly outnumbered."

"Oh really?" Negi said, he then began to chant a spell, "Rastel Mascir Magister Undeducenti Spiritus Lucis Coeuntes Inimicum Sagittent!" Suddenly, 199 magical arrows flew and collided with the demons. When the smoke cleared, only the four conscious mages were still there, "Now, what was that about being outnumbered?"

"Oh, crap!"

XOXOXO

Jason was surrounded, he had underestimated them and now he was going to pay for his blunder. Tatsuya smirked, "Now, let's see you dodge this!" He then fired a powerful ki projectile at Jason.

Jason knew what he had to do, 'It looks like I'll have to use THAT move.' Right before the attack hit, Jason disappeared. The attack continued, only to hit Keiichi, and knock him into unconsciousness.

"Hey," said Tatsuya, "where did that idiot go?"

"Behind you."

Tatsuya turned around, to see Jason standing there, "What the?!?" Jason swung his blade at him, only for Tatsuya to dodge it, "Ha, missed," but the attack wasn't meant to hit him, instead, Tatsuya soon felt the wind all around him; it became increasingly more intense until it began to cut into his skin leaving deep wounds on his body. He soon collapsed from the pain.

Jason smirked, 'instantaneous transmission was a success.' Jason learned from his ancestor's Journal that with the help of the crystal, he could transport himself from one area to another almost instantaneously (Hence the name). The problem was it was an immense strain on the body. For the time being, Jason could use the move, at best, three times before he started cause himself bodily harm. He then needed to temporarily recuperate through meditation before attempting the move again.

Kaoru was starting to get scared, "W-Who are you?"

"I am Jason Macnamair, user of the elemental sword style." (A/N: He can control any of the four primary elements through his sword: Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind).

Kaoru was furious, "I don't care what style you use cannot beat us-" but before he could continue, a foot came out of nowhere and hit him squarely in the jaw.

It was Tsukuyomi, "Need some help, Jason-san?"

"What's going on here?" Jason turned to see Fate at the door, "Who are these people?"

Pochi was terrified, "I surrender!"

Fate turned to Jason while Tsukuyomi was tying up the Doom Force, "Jason-san, where is Konoka-sama?"

"She was kidnapped."

"What? Where's Setsuna-san? We need her help if we are to rescue Konoka-sama!"

"She already ran off after them!"

"We have to hurry; Setsuna-san can't possibly succeed in rescuing her alone."

"We have to alert Negi-san first."

"There's no time we-"

"Oh, my head, what happened?" Jason and Fate turned to see Asakura and Chisame regaining consciousness.

"Asakura-san," Jason said, "Konoka-san has been kidnapped!"

"What? They were actually after Konoka-sama?"

"Wait a minute; you knew that there were plans of a kidnapping?"

"Yes, but we believed they were after Negi-sama, that's why security was upped in the castle."

"This is not the time for this," yelled Fate, "Asakura-san, alert Negi-sama to what is happening, Jason-san please come with us, I have a feeling we are going to need your help in rescuing Konoka-sama."

Jason nodded, "Happy to help."

XOXOXO

Setsuna was running through the forest, attempting to catch up to Chigusa and Konoka, 'Kono-chan,' she thought, 'please be okay.'

She finally saw Chigusa's figure just ahead of her, carrying Konoka, "KONO-CHAN!"

"SEC-CHAN! HELP ME!"

"Don't worry, Kono-chan, I'm coming," Setsuna was catching up, she was almost there.

Chigusa smirked, "I'm afraid this is as far as you go." Suddenly, a figure came from the shadows brandishing a sword, and swung straight for Setsuna. Setsuna was barely able to dodge the attack.

When Setsuna regained her footing, she realized Chigusa had disappeared, she glared at the figure that allowed Chigusa to escape, "Who are you," she yelled at him, "I recognized by your stance that you're a practitioner of the Shinmei-ryū, so why are you helping her?"

The figure removed his cloak to reveal a young man in his mid-to-late teens with midnight blue hair and cold, onyx eyes. He grinned maliciously a Setsuna, "Allow me to introduce myself, I am Zephyr, as for why I am working for Chigusa, to put it simply, I want the money."

"Get out of my way," growled Setsuna, "I swear I will not hesitate to kill you if you try to prevent me from rescuing Konoka-Ojou-sama."

Zephyr grinned, "I highly doubt that, you see, I left the Shinmei-ryū because they were holding me back, refusing to teach me their deadliest moves. So I left and found someone who would teach me those moves."

Setsuna's eyes went wide, "You know the forbidden techniques?"

"Yes."

"I don't care what techniques you know, you will not prevent me from rescuing Ojou-sama!"

"Well, we'll just have to see about that."

XOXOXO

Negi's guards were searching through the castle for any more possible intruders. After Negi had defeated the demons, the remaining mages had abruptly surrendered. Negi was confused, the attack made no sense, there was no attempt to kidnap him, these mages simply made themselves known and then attacked. Had it been an attempt to kidnap him, they would have simply snuck in quietly, captured Negi, and fled before anyone realized what had happened. Something wasn't right about all this.

"Negi-sama," Negi looked up to see Nodoka running towards him, "we found out how they got in. They came in through the Southeast entrance to the castle."

"What? But Cridius-sama was personally guarding that entrance, how could they have snuck past him?"

"Um, they didn't. You'd better come with me."

When they arrived on the scene, Negi saw Asuna crying over Cridius's unconscious form, "Tou-san, wake up, PLEASE WAKE UP!"

Negi looked around to find all the guards beaten into submission, "What happened here?"

"We are unsure, Negi-sama," Yue stated, "I don't understand how anyone could have beaten Cridius-sama and the guards without at least alerting the castle."

"But we were alerted, the alarms went off, remember?"

"Yes, but not by Cridius-sama or any of his men."

"Then who-"

"Negi-sama," Negi turned to see Asakura running towards him with Chisame not far behind.

"Asakura, what's going on?"

"When we arrived we found Cridius-sama and the rest unconscious, so once we set off the alarms, we ran off to aid you," at this point she was interrupted by Haruna.

"Ah, so you're the one who set off the alarms."

"Yes, but I was mistaken, they were never after Negi-sama in the first place, they were after Konoka-sama."

"What?" Ayaka yelled, "Then why did they send those mages to attack Negi-sama?"

"A diversion," Negi realized, "so that we wouldn't realize who they were really after until it was too late. Asakura-san, where is Konoka-sama?"

"Unfortunately, she was captured by Chigusa. Setsuna went after her immediately, and Fate-kun, Tsukuyomi-chan, and Jason-san just went after Setsuna to help."

Negi was horrified, 'How could this have happened?' He then calmed himself, 'This is no time to place blame, Setsuna and the others are going to need help if they are going to rescue Konoka-sama.' "Ayaka-chan," Negi turned to her.

"Yes Negi-sama?"

"Gather what troops you can, and meet me at the castle gates, we're going to help rescue Konoka-sama!"

"Of course, Negi-sama," she then rushed off to gather the castle's forces.

Negi then went to Asuna's side, placed his hand on her shoulder, and said, "Asuna-san, don't worry, Cridius-sama will be fine; he just needs to rest for now."

Asuna said nothing.

"I can see you're torn up about this, which is why I'm not asking you to join me on this mission. Your orders are to stay here and guard your family." Asuna-san still said nothing.

As Negi began to walk away, he heard Asuna mutter, "Thank-you Negi."

XOXOXO

Jason, Fate, and Tsukuyomi were running through the woods, desperately trying to catch up to Setsuna.

"Are you sure that this is the way they went?" Jason asked.

"Affirmative, I can sense Konoka-sama's magical signature coming from this direction, and I'm sure that Setsuna-san is not far behind her."

"Well then, we should be seeing them soon I-" he was cut off when a massive grouping of hands made of water attempted to grab the three of them. Fate quickly dispelled the hands, and Jason was gasping for air as one of the hands tried to choke him, "What the hell? What's going on now?"

"Well, well, what do we have here?" A young girl came out from the shadows. She had white hair and cold blue eyes, Fate's eyes, "Well if it isn't Fate-bozu."

"Destiny," Fate gasped.

"Hello little brother," Destiny replied.

"Brother?"

"Yes, she is my older sister, but I don't understand, they told me you died."

"Died? No, I just left the family. Now, I have a job to do and I'm afraid it involves stopping you three."

"Jason-san, Tsukuyomi-san, run," Fate yelled, "I'll hold her off! Find Setsuna-san and Konoka-sama!"

"Fate," Tsukuyomi said, "are you sure you'll alright?"

"I'll be fine, just rescue Konoka-sama!"

"Understood, just, be careful." Tsukuyomi and Jason quickly ran off and continued to follow Konoka's trail.

"Are you crazy little brother, we both know I am far stronger, you won't survive this fight."

Fate simply stared at her, "I beg to differ."

XOXOXO

A cloaked figure with a mask covering the top half of his face was walking down a dark corridor until he came upon a massive alter. Standing in front of the alter was another figure with his hood down, revealing a boy in his late teens with dark, red hair and cold, emotionless, green eyes. He stared angrily at the masked figure, "Where is Chigusa, she should have been back by now."

"Patience, Seta, and then we can begin the ritual."

"Grrr, I told the Circle of Darkness that you shouldn't have put in charge of our conquest of Japan, I mean, what exactly are you planning to do with the princess?"

The figure grinned, "Oh, a little summoning ritual."

"Ritual?"

"Oh yes, I believe you know all about it, I mean it was your grandfather who originally summoned him to our plain."

"What? But no one has the magical reserves capable of controlling him."

"Until now, that is."

Seta's eyes went wide, and then something clicked in head, a wicked grin formed on his face, "Ah so that's why we need Konoka-chan."

The figure grinned maliciously, "Exactly, and once the ritual is complete, all of the Kansai Kingdom WILL BE OURS!"

XOXOXO

Well, that's Chapter 10, sorry I took so long, and I'll try to have the next chapter up sooner. I know my battle descriptions are not terrific, but, as I have said, writing was always one of my worst subjects. Until next time, PLEASE REVIEW!
