A top a tree overlooking the Kansai Magic Association headquarters, Chigusa and Fate stood on a branch, watching the mansion. "Hey new kid, you said not to follow them and now look what happened. They reached the place and already gave the letter!" Chigusa barked.

"It is alright. Just leave the work to me," Fate requested calmly before jumping down from the canopy and away from her sight.


Meanwhile, near the waterfall…

Sonic and Shadow were meditating. His eyes were closed as he had shut down everything that was around him. Tails are currently watching them meditating and decided to joined along as well. They concentrated on what happened during the last battle, especially the battle they had against Fate. 'That damn arrogant boy is definitely strong, no doubt about it! Maybe I should increase my next level knowing that I only use twenty percent of my strength just to transform myself into super form. But I have to make sure there are no innocent people were dragged along during the battle.' Sonic thought about it.

As Sonic finish his thoughts, he felt many energy signatures fading. He opened his eyes. "What is going on?" He looked at where the mansion was. "Many energy signatures are fading but why?" Then he realized something as his eyes turned wide-eyed. "This isn't good! Everyone is in danger! I have to get there quickly." He stood up and immediately had a blue aura around him. "Tails, Shads, you guys watch over here!" as he flew into the sky, speeding quickly towards the mansion. Something bad was going on.


Back at the Mansion…

"Wow it is really beautiful here Konoka," Asuna said looking at the blossomed cherry blossom trees.

"Yeah, they are always in bloom here for some reason," Konoka explained.

'I still can't believe Konoka is a mage,' Asuna thought. 'And Konoka's dad is a friend of the Thousand Master Negi is looking for. Come to think of it the headmaster knew Negi was a mage when he came to school. That and Konoka is his granddaughter so it should make sense…' "Why didn't I see it before?"

"Did you say something Asuna?"

"N-nothing."

"You're weird, Asuna," Konoka joked. "I wonder what Se-chan wants to talk about?"

"I do too…" Asuna was not looking where she was going and hit her head on something hard. When they turned their gaze to the object they saw it was a stone arm coming out of the servants quarters. Inside where many statues that looked eerily like the maids panicking. "W-what is this?"

"Were these here before?"


Meanwhile…

"I'm glad that Konoka's father is friends with the Thousand Master. I mean he promised to take me to his home here in Kyoto tomorrow," Negi said to his ermine friend.

"That's right we gave him the letter and finished all our objectives here!" Chamo exclaimed. They continued to walk throughout the mansion, but stopped when they heard a scream.

"What was that!" Negi shouted.

"I think it came from the girl's room!" Negi ran to the girls room and slammed the sliding door open. The site he came to were the girls standing in place. "Huh? What are you all doing? You seem so stiff. Is this a new game that you play with the lights off?"

"Aniki they're not playing!" Chamo shouted worried he got on top of one of the girls head and showed that they did not react. "They've been petrified!"

"Nodoka-san! Asakura-san!" Negi shouted with some tears.

"Aniki this isn't time to be crying. We have to see if anyone else is in trouble, the enemy might still be here!"

"That's right. Where is Asuna-san!" Negi bust out of the room looking for her. Negi ran around the mansion shouting out her name without getting a response. 'Please don't let her be petrified too.' "That's right I'll use the card." 'Asuna-san! Asuna-san!'


Back at Asuna and Setsuna…

Asuna's head snapped up hearing Negi's voice. "Negi? Where are you?" she looked around seeing he wasn't there. "Oh I know!" Asuna took out her pactio and put it on her head. "Negi are you okay? I'm with Konoka right now."

'Thank goodness.'

"Negi what's happening?"

'Protect Konoka-san. The enemy is at headquarters!'

"What! I thought we cleared everything up!"

'They are still after Konoka-san. Let's meet back at the baths from before.'

"Asuna did something happen?" Konoka asked worriedly.

"Konoka listen to me. Bad people are coming for you. That is why you need to escape right now," Asuna explained.

"B-bad people. Like the ones from Cinema Town?"

"That's right, but don't worry. I'll protect you." Asuna pulled out her pactio, "Adeat!" summoning her giant paper fan.


Back at Negi,,,

"Staff!" Negi shouted summoning his staff from its location. He was running down the halls swiftly, trying to reach the baths.

"Aniki, you need to calm down! If they are using petrification, they aren't aiming to hurt anyone," Chamo said, trying to stay on Negi's shoulders.

"Hai, I know that…" Negi came to a halt and put his staff up to attack at the incoming person at the end of the corner. He was met with the tip of a blade at his throat. His eyes widened seeing that it was Setsuna. "Setsuna-san you are alright! I was just talking to Asuna and and…"

"What happened Negi-sensei! I felt a terrible presence and came outside. Is ojou-sama alright?" Setsuna asked.

"I-I don't know…"

"Negi-kun, Setsuna-kun…" the voice of the chief came from behind both of them. They whipped around, eyes widening at the site. The chief was behind them, half petrified from the waist down. "I'm…I'm so sorry. I became overly too dependent on the barrier protecting the building…Because it's always been so peaceful I was caught off guard. For me as a sworn friend of the Thousand Master this is pathetic…" by now the petrification had reached his shoulders. "Negi-kun listen to me. I'm sure Sonic-sama and his companion noticed this too, but that boy with the white hair…his power is on a totally different level compared to the others. No ordinary charm user would be able to get past the barrier…" the petrification had hold of the back of his head. "Negi-kun, Setsuna-kun, I know this is going to be hard on you…but tell the headmaster I am sorry. And please protect Konoka." With that last sentence Eishun was nothing more than a statue.

"Chief!" Negi shouted. A few moments of silence passed by before Negi spoke. "Setsuna-san…"

"Hai Negi-sensei, let's go."


Meanwhile…

Yue was running through the forest with haste. 'What the heck is going on here? Is this for real! It was only a few minutes ago when we were all playing cards when…'

Flashback

Haruna, Nodoka, Yue and Kazumi were in the room playing cards when they heard a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" Haruna volunteered. She slid opened the door to be met with a white haired boy. "Ara? Who are you? Are you part of the mansion?" The boy spoke some words that she couldn't comprehend, then dusted filled the room causing Haruna to cough. When her fit was over she became stone.

"Paru!" Nodoka shouted. She was in the midst of drawing her card.

"You have a very dangerous artifact…" the boy said. "I'm going to put you to sleep." Kazumi's eyes widened then pushed Yue out the door.

"Yue-chi. Go get help!" Kazumi whispered.

"But-"

"Just go!"

End of flashback

"Even if I did, there is no policeman in Japan that will investigate some this supernatural…" she spoke to herself. 'But those two,' two silhouettes filled Yue's mind. 'Even if this is a dream… I can contact them.' Yue got on her phone and dialed a number.


Back at the hotel…

Kaede's phone went off. "Nagase-san here de gozaru. Baka leader? What's wrong Yue-dono? You have to calm down-de gozaru! Uh huh. Uh hmm. In the mountains you say? So basically you're saying that you need help… right leader, de gozaru?" Kaede finished with a smirk.

"What's wrong Kaede…" Mana asked.

"Ku Fei, Mana, we have a job to do de gozaru," Kaede smiled walking out the door.


At Mahora Academy…

Two people were playing a game of go. It was the headmaster, Konoe Konoemon who was at one side of the table. The other player did a move. Konoemon was stroking his beard in thought. "D-" the headmaster tried to stall.

"No do-overs!" shouted the other player. This was Evangeline, resident vampire of Mahora Academy. She was short by a lot of standards. If one were to guess how old she was just by her height they would guess she was around ten years old. On her body was a school uniform with a white button up shirt/blouse, red vest and red and black stockings. She had long blond hair and green eyes. Her face was set in a nasty scowl at the moment as she sent a very cold glare at the Headmaster of the school.

"Like it would kill you," said the headmaster as his cell phone started to ring. He opened the flip phone. "Speak." Konoemon started to nod as he heard the voice from the other line. "Well, if it isn't Negi-kun! Did you deliver the letter?...Well done, m'boy, well…What?" Konoemon turned wide-eyed as he heard Negi explain what had happened at HQ. "What's that you say? The head of the temple of the west? Go on…uh-huh, uh-huh. Not the Elder too? This is serious stuff!"

Evangeline perked her eyes a bit as she tried to catch some bits of the conversation that the headmaster was having with the young magi. "Help, huh? With Takamichi overseas, I'm just not sure there's anyone else I could think of. What about Sonic-kun?" Konoemon nodded as he heard Negi explain more over the phone. While Negi was explaining he looked over to Evangeline and came up with an idea. "I see. Well, I'm sure he will be able to help out. Besides I know exactly who to send for back up."


Back at the scene…

As Yue closed the phone she bumped into some one who grabbed her by the shoulders. "Let go of me!" she screamed wiggling frantically in the person's arms.

"Yue-chan, it's me, Sonic!" Yue stopped and looked up to see her blue hedgehog teacher.

"Sonic-sensei, the people back at the mansion…"

"I already know of it. I'm going back there." he said letting go of her and began to walk in the direction of the mansion.

"But sensei…"

"Don't worry my friends were there. Besides, you have to wait for Kaede-chan ne?" Sonic continued to walk into the forest. "Keep going straight ahead, you'll reach the road soon…" his voice drifted through the darkness.

"Sonic-sensei I hope you are right about this…" she said aloud. Yue then began to run the direction opposite of Sonic.


Back at Negi,,,

Negi and Setsuna were rushing through the halls of the mansion towards the bath house. 'Because of me Paru-san, Nodoka-san, Asakura-san and the chief were all turned to stone. I'm sorry but I'll definitely turn you back afterwards, I promise. Asuna-san Konoka-san be safe. Sonic-san where ever you are please hurry back. We need all the help we can get.'.


At Asuna and Konoka…

Inside the baths Konoka and Asuna waited for their friends. "Looks like Negi isn't here yet." Asuna stated.

"Se-chan is missing too," Konoka said.

"Stay behind me okay."

"Hai…" the pair never noticed the white haired boy, Fate, coming out of the ground behind them. He was right behind him using water to attack. At the last moment Asuna turned around and hit the boy on the head with her giant fan, going straight into a defensive stance.

"Amazing. You react like a seasoned warrior," Fate complimented Asuna. "However you aren't worthy to protect the princess. It's time for you to go to sleep too." He snapped his fingers engulfing Asuna in smoke. Cracking was heard, then shattering. He was surprised to see that Asuna had not turned to stone, and only that her clothes were affected, stripping her bare.

"Kyaa! What happened?" she shouted trying her best to cover herself.

"Asuna!" Konoka attempted to reach her friend. But another one of the archer demons appeared and grabbed her from behind.

"I'll be taking the princess now."

"Wait! I won't let you take Konoka!" Asuna roared, though blushing because of her indecent site. She was still on the ground with her fan in hand. Her free hand were used to cover her breasts.

"Go" Fate commanded. As his wishes the demon jumped off with Konoka. He then took out a charm and chanted something not untreatable to Asuna. The charm disappeared and behind him hands made of water appeared. "Water spirits. Do my bidding." The watery hands grabbed Asuna and began to tickle her mercilessly.

"Hahahaha, Why am I the only one who *haha* gets these weird attacks?" Asuna asked while being "tortured".

"So that is what the spell does…" Fate commented while looking inside a book. "Though I didn't mean to take of her clothes… You resisted my petrification. Or rather it had no effect on you. I know it had nothing to do with your artifact, so how did you do it?"

"I *hahaha* have no idea what you are *hahaha* talking about you pervert!"

"Fine, you can just laugh until you die…" Fate said snapping his fingers. But before he could do anything more, Fate felt a kick right across his face as he was sent flying across the room, crashing into one of the walls.

Asuna then noticed the water hands disappeared. She looked up and saw Sonic standing before her. "S-Sonic," she muttered before she tried to cover herself to hide her shame of being naked. Suddenly, she felt a towel drape on top of her.

"Are you alright Asuna-chan?" Sonic asked with a serious tone. Asuna was unresponsive for a while due to Sonic's aura being so mesmerizing. "hello, Asuna-chan?"

Asuna snapped back into reality. "Y-Y-Yes, I-I'm fine Sonic," she stuttered with a slight hint of a blush

"Good," Sonic said as the air around picked up and started to swirl. He then immediately transformed into a Super Sonic with his blazing golden aura surrounding him. He looked at the spot where he sent Fate to but felt that Fate was hiding somewhere else. 'Fate is too strong for such an attack,' Sonic thought. "Hey, Fate! Show yourself! I know you're hiding here somewhere!"

Suddenly, Setsuna and Negi entered the bath and found Asuna with a towel wrapped around her and Sonic standing in front of her, transformed into a Super Sonic. "Asuna-san!" Setsuna ran up to her. "Asuna-are you okay? What did they do to you?" Setsuna asked. "Don't tell me they…did some perverted to you?" Setsuna blushed as she asked.

"Ehh!" Negi shouted.

"No they didn't! Well kind of!" Asuna shouted. "Setsuna-san…I'm sorry, they took Konoka."

"Don't worry about that Asuna-san," Setsuna reassured.

"Beware, guys! He must still around here!" Sonic said. Asuna's eyes widened as she saw the white haired boy materialize behind the two. Sonic then realized at the last second where Fate had appeared but he was too late to stop Fate's attack. Fate went to punch Setsuna with his left, but she parried it. However it was just a feint to his real attack, before he made a right punch to Setsuna, the white haired boy felt an another double snap kick attack and skid on the floor to see who did it. Sonic, Negi, Asuna and Setsuna turned around and saw Tails and Shadow at the bath entrance and gladly made it in time before Setsuna could get hit by a serious blow.

"Hey, Sonic, I thought you might need some backup here." Tails greeted him.

"Thanks, guys. You made it just in time." Sonic then stepped in front of Negi. "Hey, Fate! You're the one behind all of this, aren't you?"

"And what if I did, gold hedgehog-kun? And who are these people you bought along?"

Shadow and Tails slowly stared to swirling their yellow energy and become super form already with their angry super form eyes on to Fate. He now knows that our heroes were gold hedgehog (He still unsure about Tails) and never seen anything about their powers and was surprised a bit.

"I'm Tails, Miles Tails Prower!"

"I'm Shadow, Shadow the Hedgehog!"

Sonic clenched his teeth and fists in rage. His aura expanded even more, creating more swirls of air around the room. "You turned everyone in the mansion to stone, you kidnapped Konoka-chan, and you did perverted things to Asuna-chan and you call yourself a human? I won't forgive those who caused everyone here in the mansion from the likes of you! as a student and a friend to everyone, I won't forgive you!"

"Me too! You won't be forgiven for this, Fate-san!" Tails responded, while Shadow just clenched his fist.

"Neither will I!" Negi yelled. Sonic was about to stop him from entering the fight, but decided not to. After all, this was a fight to protect their friends.

"And what are you going to do, Negi Springfield? Try and defeat me. You're better off not even attempting it. In fact I'd rather fight the Gold Hedgehog, when he goes all out if he actually does have some power hidden away. Besides you guys were no match for me right now." Fate shook his head and disappeared using a puddle of water. "I will be waiting for your arrival Gold hedgehog-kun."

Fate disappeared using a puddle of water, Negi frowned and turned serious. He looked back at Asuna and talk to her. "Please wait here, Asuna-san. I will go retrieve Konoka-san."

"You won't have to do that," Sonic said. "You are going to need everyone's help, including mine. However, I can't go with you right now."

"Why? Aren't you going to come with us Sonic-san?" Negi asked.

"No, Tails and Shads coming with you instead," replied Sonic as his eyes were looking at somewhere else. "You guys will go after Konoka-chan while I'm going to handle some loose ends here and then catch up with you all."

"Are you sure Sonic-sensei?" Sonic saw her wince in pain.

"You okay Setsuna-san?" Sonic went to her. He touched her side and noticed that it was bruised. "Tails, can you heal her?"

"Sure, no problem, Sonic!"

"Good, heal her right now. Asuna-chan, get some clothes and follow them, they are going to need it, especially if you are going to fight against someone like Fate," Sonic ordered.

"Yeah, that's right," Chamo said. "Remember what else the Elder said! That punk is powerful. To just go rushing in would be…" Then Chamo received a stroke of genius lightning (figuratively speaking). "Yes! That's it!"

"You have an idea there, Chamo?" Sonic asked, curious to what kind of plan Chamo had in mind.

"Well, you do like Negi-aniki, don't you, Setsuna-nee-san?" Chamo asked.

"Huh?" responded everyone present in the room except Shadow.

"W-What's that got to do with anything?" Setsuna asked with a blush.

"It's like this, see…you plant a big wet one on Negi-aniki, see?" Chamo said, simulating a kiss. Sonic and Asuna both face faulted at Chamo's comment.

"What the hell Chamo-san?" Sonic said with a blush. "This is no time to be joking around! Konoka-chan is in danger!"

"That's right you pervert ermine!" Asuna yelled.

"Guys, I think Chamo-san means pactio." Tails responded.

"That's right! Setsuna-nee-san can already use ki, right? Put Aniki's magical power atop that, and we're talking super-duper power boost! Just like Sonic-sama's transformation."

"But kissing is serious stuff, dude!" Sonic exclaimed with a hint of a blush.

"S-Sonic-san's right, Chamo-kun," Negi said.

"I must think of Ojou-sama, I must!" Setsuna muttered with a blush.

"Aw, c'mon! What's so hard about a kiss? Just a…" Chamo was about to simulate a kissing sound before he was smashed up against the wall by Asuna. "Okay," he muttered, "you win."

"All that aside, Negi-sensei, we should get going!" Setsuna said. Negi nodded in agreement with Asuna agreeing as well. Asuna then turned her head to Sonic.

"You promise to catch up with us Sonic?" Asuna asked.

"Who do you think I am? Now go, I just need to do something here," Sonic said. The five of them nodded then left the room. Asuna shot him one last glance before she ran off to get clothes. Sonic then stood there, waiting for a bit as he heard noise coming from behind the door. "You guys can come out now. I know Fate let some of his lackeys behind to try and slow me down."

"Heh," a large demon said as he burst through the door, revealing a hoard of demons behind him. "Fate-sama did say something about a powerful fighter. But all we see is a small hedgehog, nothing special."

Sonic smirked. "Really? Well, I am sure that Fate has already told you this before but I want to give you a piece of advice: Never underestimate your opponents."

"You shouldn't underestimate us you punk!" yelled one of the larger demons. He brought down his large fist to smash Sonic but before he could do hit anything; he felt a gaping hole in his chest. He looked down and saw that it was Sonic who had punched right through his stomach. "I-I-Impossible," he muttered before landing on the ground with a thud.

Some of the demons shrieked with fear at Sonic's display. "I will only say this to you guys once. Surrender or be in a lot of hell?"

The demons turned angry. They had taken Sonic's comment as an insult. "Showing mercy to us? You should be the one to surrender you little punk," yelled one of the demons. "Let's kill the bastard!" The demons agreed with him and went towards Sonic's position.

"Well, you leave me no choice, prepare yourself!"


Meanwhile…

"Sneaking out at night during a school trip is the best-aru!" Ku Fei shouted as she, Kaede and Mana were on a train towards the mountains.

"We're not here to play around…" Kaede told the girl. 'We're up against professionals. I wonder how Negi-bouzu is doing. Sonic-kun can take care of himself but the others…'


Far from the Mansion…

"Woah! You actually did it new guy!" Chigusa exclaimed, surprised to see Konoka tied up. "How'd you get passed the barrier? We should have just left it to you from the start. Did you have trouble with the Gold Hedgehog?" Chigusa asked.

"No, I pretty sure that he is being delayed by my servants," Fate replied.

Chigusa let out a smirk. "Good. And now that we have Ojou-sama, we just have to take her there and we've won."

"MNNN" Konoka struggled. Her voice was cut off by the duct tape on her mouth.

"Don't worry ojou-sama we won't hurt you. Now onto the alter!"

"Wait!" a voice cried out. "Stop right there and give us back ojou-sama!" Setsuna demanded, behind her were Negi and Asuna at the ready. Tails and Shadow also behind them as they returned to their normal form.

"Hmm you brats again…" she said idly.

"Chigusa Amagasaki! Reinforcements are arriving tomorrow to arrest you. Surrender now and give back ojou-sama!"

Chigusa smiled, which turned into a snicker finally becoming full blown laughter. "It doesn't matter how much reinforcements you bring with you. As long as I can reach that place it is all over. Anyhow, let me show you some of ojou-sama's powers. You'll wish you were still back at headquarters cowering in fear." Chigusa took a seal and placed it on Konoka. The ground lit up as various circles of light appeared. She chanted something and from the circles came out many different monsters.

"Just a minute here! Why are there so many of them?" Asuna shouted.

"That lady is just grabbing whatever she can by using Konoka-nee-san's power," Chamo explained.

"That's explains it. Her power was truly outstanding." Shadow responded.

"Th-there are over a hundred of them…" Negi counted.

"You guys can play with these demons for a while," Chigusa said. "Try not to worry so much. Since you guys are brats, I've been told to not kill you. Well bye!" she and the monkey holding Konoka jumped off.

"What? After being summoned from a long time, we are here to fight kids?" the demon who the group took as their spokesperson. "Well sorry little boys and girls, we that are summoned cannot show mercy. Please do not hold it against us." Asuna was shaking in fear.

"Setsuna-san…"

"Calm down Asuna-san!" Behind them Negi was chanting a spell. When he was done chanting he put his hand into the air and a tornado surrounded the three.

"What's going on?" Asuna asked.

"This is a barrier of wind. It will only last about 3 minutes," Negi told them. "We have to use this time to come up with a plan. What are we going to do it is pretty bad."

"We've got no choice, we need to split up…" Setsuna stated calmly. "I will stay here and wait for Sonic-sensei and hold of the demons. You two can go and use that time to catch up to Konoka-ojou-sama. Tails-sensei and Shadow-sensei will accompany me."

"But…"

"Don't worry about it. Exterminating demons is our business anyways."

"If you are staying I'm staying too. I just can't leave her here!" Asuna shouted.

"That's a good idea. With your weapon we can banish the demons with a brush of her fan," Chamo explained. "This is our best chance."

"I see," Setsuna murmured.

"Aniki? If you gave ane-san all your magic and put everything as minimal as possible how long can you hold it up for?"

"5...no 10...no I can go for 15 minutes."

"15 minutes huh? It's not long but we don't have a choice. We have to avoid the white haired kid, and get Konoka as fast as we can. Since aniki will be alone he can fly with his staff. Ane-san and Setsuna-nee-san will stay here and hold off the demons, hopefully Sonic-sama will be here soon to help out. Aniki will break out and grab Konoka. After that we fight our way back to headquarters and hold out for reinforcements."

"Is that really going to work?" Asuna asked doubtful of the plan.

"You got anything better, girl?" Shadow replied.

"Well, I mean Sonic said that he had another level of his Super form. Shouldn't we wait for him?" Asuna asked.

"Nah, we're as strong as Sonic does! Don't worry, we're helping you here!" Tails stated.

Setsuna pondered for a bit until finally…"I understand. Let's do this Asuna-san," Setsuna said.

"Alright, now we just have to get that over and done with."

"That?" Asuna questioned.

"Yes! The Pactio Kiss! Those two make a pactio! This is an emergency and we need more cards…"

"Ok…" the two participants said in unison. "So, Negi-sensei…this is it."

"I, uh, guess it is."

"W-Well, h-here goes…"

"O-Okay…" the two kissed and a card was formed.

'So I have to kiss a girl to make pactio, huh? I wonder what was Sonic feel when he does that.' Tails thought

"Negi-sensei, leave Asuna-san to me. I'll take care of her. Sensei, please bring back ojou-sama…" Setsuna as she held Negi's face alongside her hand.

"Will do," responded the young magi.

'We'll help too!" Tails responded.

"Stop staring at each other and get ready!" Asuna yelled.

"The wind is dying down. They are finally coming out," the head demon said. As the wind died down they saw Negi with an open palm facing them.

"Shadow, you're ready?" Tails asked. Shadow nodded. "Okay, let's do this!" They cupping their hands and putting on their sides as their energy is stated to glow in a blue energy sphere.

"Jovis Tempestas Fulguriens!"

"Chaos Buster! (Similar to Kamehameha)"

The lightning bolt blasted out of the tornado destroying some demons with it. And both of Tails and Shadow yelled in unison as they thrusting their hands forward and blasted the demons out of the way by their technique. The demons were completely shocked and feared at the same time by Tails and Shadow's ability that leave them speechless. Asuna and Setsuna were gaped as they saw their ferocious power blasted away the demons and knowing that their technique is very powerful. When the smoke cleared Negi flew out of the place with his staff.

"W-who are these guys? They're so strong!" One of the demon gasped.

"Tails! Shadow! Is that your new technique earlier? Asuna asked in awe.

"What an awesome power they have! It's incredible!" Setsuna said in awe.

"Yup, we just learn this back at our training earlier. It's called 'Chaos Buster'" Tails explained.

"Chaos Buster?" Setsuna and Asuna asked in unison?"

"No time for explain, we got job to do." Shadow interjected.

"Damn he got away. He was a western mage huh. I guess they were nothing to laugh about after all," the demon told the others. "huh?"

"We'll be okay as long as we fight calmly with my sword and your fan, we've got more combat power in on our side than they do,' Setsuna told Asuna. "Just pretend they are just street punks from around school.

"Was that meant to be comforting in any sort of way?" Asuna asked jokingly. "But you got a point there, Setsuna."

"Oh shit, here they come!" the demon spoke.

"Ok! Let's go kick some demon ass-slaying!" Asuna yelled

"Right!"


At the ritual spot…

"See that big rock over there? Rumor has it that there was a dangerous demon sealed in there, and that no one has been able to summon it before. They said that 18 years ago the chief and the Thousand Master put him in there to stop his rampaging." Chigusa recounted the story. "But with ojou-sama's power we can undo that. If the summoning is successful then there will be no amount of reinforcements that can help them." She walked up to Konoka who was on an altar. "Please forgive me for being so rough ojou-sama. But don't worry, this won't hurt a bit, in fact you might actually find it enjoyable." Konoka's power was being forced out of her body into a white light. "God that dwells in the heavenly plains! God who is the source of everything! God who gave life! Gather 80,000,000 gods of the heavenly city! Congregate unto me!"


Back at our heroes…

Asuna dodged an attack from a big monster by diving to the left. She smacked it across the chest with her fan. "That was the 10th one. I must be stronger than I thought…" she ran to another one and hit it across the head. She flipped over it then swung at three more. She did an upward slash at a fourth one and they all vanished.

"Chaos Spear!" Shadow throws a concentrated energy from his hands towards the demon. It might be small, but don't underestimate its power as the demon get hit and explosion happen.

"That little girl!" a demon shouted. "Get her!" as the two charged forward Setsuna appeared poised to attack.

"Shinmei-Ryuu secret technique: Hyakuretsu Okazan!" she spun in a circle destroying most of the demons around them. The two stood back to back breathing deeply.

"You know Setsuna-san we make a pretty good team," Asuna smirked. "Teach me some kendo when we get back to school."

"Um…alright but I'm still in training myself.

"Chaos Slicer!" A hundred of small energy that looks like a wave appear as Tails gestured his hands, slice down the entire demon that stood between it.

"Impossible they took out half of a 150 strong arm within 3 minutes!" a bird demon shouted.

"The Shinmei-Ryuu are our natural enemies, but that damned fan is just plain unfair!" an armored demon shouted.

"Hah! I like energetic girls!" the head demon spoke. "However, is it really fashionable to be wearing no underwear?" This caused Asuna to blush and try to cover up her bottom using her skirt. Asuna began to run around in a circle shouting things about perverted comments only being attributed to her. Tails and Shadow were sweat-dropped as they chased down the demon and stopped them from chasing Asuna.

"You look pathetic. Tails, let's give them a hell!"

"Sure thing, Shadow!" Tails and Shadow blasted the demons with their Chaos Buster and completely annihilated by the blast.

"Damn! We forgot about them!" the demon shouted.

"Asuna-san, are you ok?" Tails asked.

"I'm fine, thanks for helping me you two." Asuna replied

"Negi-sensei, the rest it's up to you…" Setsuna muttered.


Meanwhile…

"Aniki! Over there!" Chamo shouted. He then felt a chill go down his spine. "M-magic this strong…aniki they are doing a summoning spell! They are going to summon something huge! Hurry before it's too late!"

"I see Konoka-san" Negi said. 'I can do this there is still more time' Negi then felt a magical presence behind him. He turned his head around and saw dogs made of darkness appear. "Inugami!" he didn't have time to think about it as he was struck down by the dogs. He barely righted himself as he landed on the floor using wind magic.

"Yo Negi! This is great. I never would have thought a rematch between us could occur so soon. You aren't getting through here Negi!" Kotarou proclaimed.

"Kotarou-kun!"


At the battlefield…

"There's less than half of them left!" Asuna shouted. "Once Negi brings back Konoka we can…" she was interrupted when a crow demon attacked her. He had a sword and swung it forcing Asuna to block. He went for a slash on the right but once again she blocked.

"Asuna!" Setsuna shouted. She too was forced to block as a female kitsune demon attacked with a pair of tonfas.

"You're not bad little girl," the crow demon said to Asuna. "But I'm different from the ones you've face before!" he used his handle to force Asuna's fan upward. He then did a combo slashing at Asuna all over her body. She fell into the water cuts covering her body.

"Tch… that hurt," Asuna said.

"Asuna!"

"I'm alright… Negi's magic protected me," Asuna told Setsuna. Setsuna was about to help her when a giant club came down on her.

"Girl from Shinmei-Ryuu you are to fight us!" the kitsune demon said atop the head demon.


Back at the altar…

"Thousand wavering sprits! Guardian of ten thousand worlds! Without delay unto the heart of the deepest lands forge a path unto the surface!" Chigusa still chanted. "By the power of the emperor himself! Fujiwarono Asmoi Konoe Konoka, burn and boil over! Live o spirit! Dance o spirit! Become as the spirit of the gods!" a giant pillar of light slammed into the boulder in front of her.

Chigusa smiled as the ritual had begun and her plan has finally come into fruition. Fate meanwhile watched with a passive face. However, he felt a presence in the air. He turned his head and frowned his eyebrows. "So you finally made it, hedgehog-kun."


At the same time…

Setsuna watched in horror as the light appeared. "Looks like our client Chigusa's plans are going well," Tsukuyomi said from behind her. "Did that little boy fail to make it on time? Well that has nothing to do with me, right Setsuna-senpai?"

"Tsukuyomi!" at that moment Asuna was caught by the crow demon and was being held up by her arm.

"Damn it let me go!" Asuna kicked the demon in the chest.

"Asuna-san!" Tails try to help her out but he was surrounded by the demons, "Damn, there's too many of them!" Shadow was also surrounded as well

"Without your fan you are nothing but a normal girl. You did well though," the demon complimented her. "Now then warrior of Shinmei-Ryuu, it seems like we are at a stalemate." 'This is bad. This is really really bad!'


At Negi…

Negi managed to block claw attack from Kotarou, by using his own hand. They both jumped back away from each other after the move. "It looks like you're finally serious about fighting me Negi!" Kotarou shouted his face full of excitement.

Negi clenched his teeth in frustration. "Please let me through Kotarou-kun!" Negi begged. "I don't have the time to be fighting you right now!"

"Aw come one don't be such a spoilsport!"

"Aniki you can't keep using the contract on yourself for much longer," Chamo whispered. "You're giving all your magic to ane-san too. Sooner or later you are going to run out. Plus look at the pillar in a matter of seconds the spell will be complete."

"I know," Negi whispered back. "Kotarou-kun, why are you helping out the monkey lady? She took my friend and now she's about to do something horrible!"

"I don't even know what she is doing. I just signed up so I can fight you damned European mages!" Kotarou pointed at him. "And it looks like I hit the jackpot because I got to meet you Negi! You are the first person my age who can actually put up a decent fight against me! So now let's keep on fighting!"

"Fight…? Fighting is meaningless. I will fight you as many times you like later!"

"Bull! After this you won't fight seriously anymore. That is why I am fighting you now, when you are serious. You won't get to that spot without defeating me. I won't let you!" Kotarou said confidently.

"Aniki don't be sucked in by his challenge. There is away of this we just got to think of it," Chamo tried to advise his friend.

"If you use your full power, you might be able to beat me and make it in time Negi. You are a man aren't you?" Kotarou taunted him.

"Alright." Negi took Chamo off his shoulder and put him on the floor.

"That's more like it!" Kotarou got prepared to attack. 'This is bad! Aniki is being led by his stubbornness and childishness. At this rate Konoka-nee-san will be… Did my plan just fail!' Chamo shouted mentally. Kotarou and Negi charged each other with a war cry. A giant fuuma got in between them at the last moment stopping them from fighting. A shadowy figure appeared before them and attack Kotarou by put their palm onto his chest and pushing him with a lot of force into a tree. "What was that? A body split attack? And after image? Who are you!" Kotarou shouted. Negi watched as the figure disappear and reappear in the trees holding something.

In the trees was Kaede and in her arms was Yue. "Nagase-san! Yue-san!"

Kaede said as she put down Yue. "I'm disappointed. You are getting hotheaded in an important moment like this. You still need to improve on your concentration-de gozaru, Negi-bouzu."


At the battlefield…

Setsuna was panting as she was surrounded by the last of the demons and Tsukuyomi. Asuna, Tails, and Shadow were still being held captive. 'Damn. It looks like I do have to use that power after all.' Before any of her thought could continue just then a bullet shot out and broke the head demon's club and another got him in the head.

"These are spell breaker bullets! Who the hell has these?' he shouted.

"It looks like you were having trouble after all…" a feminine voice rang out throughout the area. Asuna and Setsuna saw atop a rock was Mana and Ku Fei. Mana had a rifle in her hand with a smoking barrel. "Since it is your first time asking me for help Tails-sensei and Shadow-sensei, it is free," Mana told her teacher to which Tails looked at questioningly.

"Okay, thanks for your help, Mana-san." Tails said his gratitude, "Shadow, do you think we should transform now?"

"I don't see why not. I just want to teach this demon a lesson they never forget." Shadow smirked.

"Transform?" Mana and Ku fei was curious.

Tails and Shadow transform themselves into super form as the golden aura now surrounding them. This was caught the attention by Ku Fei and Mana.

"Tails-sensei? Shadow-sensei? You guys can do this, de-aru?" Ku Fei asked in awe.

"Yup, sorry for hiding all of this, Ku Fei-san." Tails smirked. "Now, this is the real battle starts!"

"Ara? Are those monsters real-aru? They look really strong!" Ku Fei wondered with excitement. Mana just shook her head and shot some of the other remaining demons. "Ara is that real?" she inquired about the rifle in Mana's hands.

"No it's just an air soft gun." Four crow demons dropped from the sky and surrounded the two.

"Don't get cocky you weaklings! You won't be able to use that in close range," one taunted them. Mana smirked and kicked the guitar case which was on the floor. Two handguns popped up from it and she caught them. Mana shot all the demons surrounding her at a surprisingly fast pace, making it look like she had more than two hands. A demon appeared behind her, ready to slash at her with his sword. Mana blocked the attack using the butt of her gun and shot it in the face. She then brought her left hand around her, aiming behind her and shot the demon to her right. After that she went into a crouch shooting the demon far behind with her left gun and the demon to her left with her right. She did a 180 turn on her heels and shot to more bullets that had lodged into the other two crow demons. When she stood up they began to disappear. "S-strong…" one demon barley managed to speak before it disappeared completely.

Asuna had her mouth agape and her eyes were wide. "W-w-what was that? Why is Tatsumiya-san here? Was she that strong before?"

"Actually I used to exterminate demons with her before all of this…" Setsuna said scratching the back of her head.

"That's Mana for you. This is the first time I saw monsters though-aru," Ku Fei told them surveying the area.

"You can fight the weak ones Ku," Mana said nonchalantly.

"Are you making fun of me aru? Don't underestimate the powers of 4000 years of Chinese martial arts!" when she finished her sentence she turned around and parried a club from some of the monster trying to sneak up on her. Ku placed her left foot forward doing a slight skip then punched. The punch was strong enough to banish the four demons. However, a lot of demons surrounded Ku Fei. Tails turned wide-eyed.

"Ku Fei-san, watch out!" yelled Tails as he tried to get to Ku Fei's position and handle the demons. However, he stopped when he heard a familiar voice boom across the area.

"CHAOS BUSTER!"

Suddenly, a blue energy blast came down crashing into some of the demons that were behind ku fei.

Everyine stopped fighting including Tails and Shadow when a figure from the sky landed softly on the ground. It was the golden hedgehog that has golden aura surrounded him. Asuna and Setsuna immediately recognized who it was. "Sonic/Sensei!"

"Yo! Sorry I'm late here. It took me a long time at the mansion." Sonic let out his grin.

Setsuna wondered what could have made Sonic taken so long to get here. She then noticed a scratch mark on Sonic's face. "Sonic-sensei, are you al…"

"Nah, I'll be fine." Sonic interjected. "I'm okay if that answer your question."

"Aren't you going to help Negi?" Asuna asked.

"I would, but first," Sonic turned his glances towards Tails and Shadow. "Guys, do you need me to help or not?"

"Who do you think I am, Sonic?" Shadow's aura increased after being insult by his fierce rival. "I don't need your help. I can take these things myself."

"Okay then, Tails, Shads, I will let you handle the demons with Mana-san, Ku Fei-san, Asuna-san and Setsuna-san while I go helping Negi," Sonic said as he teleported himself to where Negi is

"Mana-san, our sensei was very unique, wasn't it-aru?" Ku fei asked in awe.

"I couldn't agree more, Ku Fei-san." Mana replied

Tails nodded as he beginning to get more serious. The demons looked at him trembling. "Just who the hell are you?"

"Me? Well, let's just say that I'm your worst nightmare. This is just the beginning" Tails grinned wide as his energy and aura had increased. He went on the attack and destroyed some of the demons along with Shadow.


Back with Negi's spot…

"Negi-bouzu you should get going. I will handle things here," Kaede said as she released Yue onto the floor.

"Eh But um…" Negi tried to speak. And out of nowhere Sonic appear in front of Negi.

"Sonic-san! I'm glad you're finally here!" Negi said in relief.

"Sorry, Negi. Some stupid demons irritated me back there." Sonic said in his casual tone. Then he noticed that everyone stare at him in awe, including Kotarou. "Ah, Kaede-chan, could you please take care from here? Me and Negi have something important to do."

"You can leave this to me, de-gozaru." the ninja girl replied.

Sonic then turned his attention towards Yue. "Yue-chan, the way you see it right now, everything is real, why don't you hide on the tree and Kaede-chan will handle kotarou-kun. Negi and i will save Konoka-chan for sure.

"O-ok, be careful, you two." Yue said and hide on the tree.

Sonic then teleported himself along with Negi and Chamo, "Alright, here we go!" as he finish said that, they disappeared.

Kotarou's eyes widened as he tried to run after Negi and Sonic, but he was stopped as the knives implanted themselves into the floor in front of him.

"Hey the big nee-chan over there, don't get in my way!" Kotarou shouted at Kaede. "I have no intentions of fighting women.

"So you're name is Kotarou huh? Boy you have good taste as to choose Negi-bouzu as your rival-de gozaru. But you can throw away your inhibitions because I'm still stronger then Negi-bouzu." Kaede made sixteen copies of herself. "Kouga Chuunin Kaede Nagase has arrived!"

Kotarou was frowning, but it slowly turned into a smirk. "Alright bring it on!"


A/N: So what do you think of this chapter? Give me some of your thought so I can fix it in the future. This is the part 1 of the climax. The next part is going to be exciting.

By the way, I want to know your opinion. Should I make an original arc or I'll skip the time to Mahora festival? Give me the reason and I'll try to consider it.
