Etermal Crescent and Light
Chapter 10 : ...A Kingdom Divided... Taking Down the King and The Queen!
...At the city of Atlantis... at the far east of the city... lies a castle...
"Moo, that perverted king!" Shatter! ...A queen aggressively throws a vase on the window... due to her anger towards the supreme king who she knows has a perverted attitude... though right now, that is King is under the influence of the darkness... "How dare he defile my charm... I'll make him pay! I'll make him pay!" ...She shouted that as her servants take a few distance from her, hiding from the pillars in the room.
"Hey, the mistress is angry." One whispers...
"Ah, one has to silence her or there will be riot in the castle again." The other said. They both nod in agreement.
"What was that?" ...Her majesty heard however.
"Guah! W-Wa- Execuse us!" ...They both left and return to their duties in cleaning up the house... sort to speak.
"Hey, that part is clean, go over that side!" ...One maid said.
"H-Hai!" ...Amidts their discussion about cleaning the house... again, sort to speak, her majesty thinks for herself...
"Hmm... I better think of a plan to overthrown him and make him my love slave..."
...All the while... In the city...
"Hey... Don't you think... These outfits... are quite... expensive?" ...Hayate asked... He's wearing a french outfit that is fit with white, blue and red color follow by a barret hat with a feather on it. ...And red pink cape...
"Ha ha..." ...Negi almost has the same design of clothing...
"Yeah, don't you think you chose the overexpensive ones Maria?" Nagi complains as well... though her clothes as she describes are "commoner" type and she said it doesn't suit her... or at least from her "category"...
"Ha ha... W-Well... since most guys and girls are wearing that kind of clothing, I decided to buy them..." ...Maria said. She's the one who bought the clothings for everyone save for Nagi who merely ordered a "ordinary" one which one can wonder what she means by that... Maria took that she wanted the color of a "commoner" type, as she describes it. ...Maria is wearing a valevictorian outfit of french women...
"Hm... This one is not so bad." Saki as well.
"Though I don't get it, why do I have to wear this..." ...Wataru is wearing a same category of "commoner", from his and Nagi's perspectives...
"Uh well... You and Nagi-chan, your fiance, ordered the "ordinary" part..."
"This is not what I meant!"
"Well... I don't mind what is bought for me..." ...Anya is wearing an "ordinary", from the two spoiled children's perspectives, type of clothing that is like that of a normal girl t-shirt, a black mini skirt and a red barret hat.
"...Hm." ...Negi thinks it suits her.
"Wh... What are you looking at me like that for Negi?"
"Oh uh... It... It suits you." ...A flashy smile.
"..." ...And blushes...
"Ooh, did you hear that Ojou-chan, Aniki likes you!" Chamo climbs up to Anya's left shoulder...
"Eh... Eh! C-Chamo-kun it's not like-"
"Urusai!" Strike! ...A strike from Anya... to Chamo. "Don't get into our business ermine!" ...She yelled at the perveted ermine who got thrown into the trash cans.
"Ha ha..." Hayate could only laught at that... developments are occuring whenever they, Negi and Hayate, are with these type of people... mostly girls... "Sa, what should we do now?"
...Chamo emerges from the trash can and went back to them. "Well..." ...He climbs up to Hayate's right shoulder and blow a cigarrete. "Considering our circumtances, we can't leave the city, those guys in the gates won't let us out and... adding to that, whoosh, we can't go back now that Mahora Academy is..."
...Meanwhile, back at Mahora...
...The entire campus is covered with thick fog... there is a barrier blocking anyone from entering and exiting it... "Ahh...~"
"Ahh...~"
"Ahh...~" ...A bunch of people are passing by with empty and blank faces... all of them are like zombies that are roaming the area with only the intent of murder and killing... the entire city right now is covered in thick fog... Avatar Ikusa... a demon lord as he proclaims, has now taken over the city... everyone has been put under a spell of control... in which, they are willing... the citizens that is, are willing to follow everything he desire, and he commanded them to destroy the Mahora to which...
...At the dean's office...
"This is bad... The whole city is overrun... We cannot escape at this situation." The dean is discussing things with Takamichi, Evangeline, Athena, and Shizuna-sensei.
"Well? What should we do? Even now, as we speak, that demon lord is on his way to destroy this place." Takamichi said.
"What happened to boya? Isn't he suppose to be with that Ayasaki guy?" Evangeline asked with almost concern... to which her two servants, Chachamaru and Chachazero take acknowledgement.
"I don't know..." Athe said... then... 'Hayate... Where are you...?' ...She thought worried for her "husband"... a single tear drops to which Machina take notice.
"..." ...He wishes that there is something he could do but... "Grr... That Ayasaki..." ...He knows that person he knows too well, and consider a rival, is the only one who can cheer her up... and he's not here.
"..." ...A single tear also pours out of Evangeline's eyes despite the angry expression... adding to a frustrated expression then to anger... almost disappointed at herself...
"..." ...Again, her two servants take notice.
"Anyway, we have to think about the students." The dean said. "At this rate, we won't be able to hide the fact about magic."
"Ah."
"Sou ne." Takamichi and Shizuna said. "At this rate, we may as well have to evacuate the entire school." Shizuna said.
"Sou dau ne, but how?" Takamichi asked.
"This building and the rest of the campus was once a shelter as you all know..." The dean said... (Note: Same manner as the Balamb Garden in FF8... that flew and... well... you will see similarity of it Mahora... in this chapter... hehe.) "I plan to activate the defense mechanism..."
"Eh? Sir?"
"Sir? You were saying...?" Shizuna asked.
"...?" Athena and Evangeline pay closer attention.
"I plan to raise the entire campus... and send it to the magical world..." The dean said. ...Which surprised everyone...
"Sir?" Takamichi asked.
"To the magical world?" Shizuna asked.
"Why is that?" Athena asked.
"Yeah, this is rather a sudden decision in your part... What's gotten into your rotten bold head...?" ...Evangeline asked rather rudely...
"Hmph, that is because..."
...All the while... at the campus...
"Oh man... The place is total mess now that it's all locked up..." Asuna and the others are here... They are sitting on a tree that is near the walls of the campus that is, as Asuna said, sealed off by the barrier... it is at this time, that everyone is aware of magic... they have been ever since the incident during halloween. ...All of them are gathered here to discuss certain things. "What should we do now? We got zombies for neighbors!" The organizer, Asuna, said.
"Yeah... The entire city is under spell..." Konoka said.
"The entire city's population is our enemy... We don't know what happened to some of our classmates but it is likely..." Setsuna said referring to the missing students in their class...
"..."
"..." ...Hinagiku and Nodoka show a worried expression.
"..." ...Both of their friends, Miki and Yue take notice of that.
'...Negi-kun...'
'...Hayate-kun...' ...Both girls thought.
"..." ...Again, their two friends take notice of that.
"Se-chan, you don't mean...?"
"Well, I'm not assuming things, but it likely that whoever is out there... is under the spell. The perpetrator is someone... well..." ...Setsuna refers to the now well known demon lord around the city... as he is shown to be the new head of the Sanzenin after murdering Mikado and making all of the employees his servants... though in his perspectives, his slaves... That is been known for demons to treat other people rudely... even themselves. "Only... Where could they have gone..."
"..."
"..." ...Everyone has nothing to say to that...
"Sigh... Negi-bozu and that Nagi-bozu are also not here... Maria and Ayasaki-kun too... Where could they have gone...?" ...Asuna asked that with a single tear... though she's not fond of Negi and Nagi, since she's not fond of kids, she does worry for their safety, and besides them, Hayate has been sort of sharing the same fate of Asuna of being a hardworker and they have tend to work together now during their previous fights with Evangeline and the demon god the other night in halloween... She has formed an... attachment to both guys... Negi and Hayate... since they share the same personality, the said can be said about Nagi and her, as she sometimes see herself in the young twin blonde...
"Asuna..." Konoka notices the tear.
"Ma, I'm sure they're alright, the thing we should focus now is how to properly managed to keep the place safe." Haruna said to which... "...from those guys." ...She refers...
"Ahh~"
"Ahh...~"
"Ahh...~" ...A bunch of "ghouls", as the people who are trying to invade the place have blank faces on their faces and they tend to form a sadistic expression of hunger... for blood...
"Hm..." ...The girls are frightened of that, so far, no "ghouls" managed to sneak in or barge in due to the barrier being impenetrable.
"What should we do?" Asuna asked.
"We don't know how to get out of here and we don't even know when exactly all the chaos is going to stop." Konoka said.
"Ah... I sure wish a miracle would be granted by God... Like the other day." Haruna said referring to the miracles that were done so far... the defeat of Evangeline in her behemoth form... the defeat of King Midas... Fate... and the demon god... but now... all is not yet lost... all there is to it is... Hope... Love...
"There is a way." Two newcomers come and one of them said that.
"Huh?" They turn to them and see it's Isumi and Sakuya.
"Aizawa-san, Saginomiya-san." Konoka said.
"There is a way for a miracle to happen."
"Sou ne, it's still too early to give up, so come on! We're gonna do something." Sakuya said.
"There is a way to find Hayate-sama and Negi-sama."
"Eh? Really?" Asuna asked surprised along with the others.
"Where are they?" Fuka asked.
"Are they safe?" Fumika asked.
"Negi..." ...Both of them said worriedly.
"I hope he's alright." Makie said.
"I sure do hope Hayata-kun is alright..." Izumi said.
"Hm." Both Miki and Risa nod.
"Ah... The last time we saw him was when we were in class... It will soon be new year... and Christmas for that matter and all this chaos and mayhem are happenning in the city... this sure is one heck of year for us." Risa said.
"Hm, come to think of it... It'll be 2012 soon... the premonition..." Miki said bringing the mood down a little.
"So? So what if it will be 2012 soon?" Asuna asked.
"That's..."
"...Do you know of the Apocalypse premonition Asuna-san?" Isumi asked.
"Huh? That? Don't tell me you guys believe in that?"
"...I do, it's real. And it's happenning now." ...Isumi said darkly...
"Huh?" Everyone asked that.
"Throughout time, negativity has taken its toll... many have succumb to the influence of negativity and become bitter... most people have become evil as a result... that wickedness would be their downfall... as humans fall into the darkness of their hearts, the negative energies gather and bring ruination to the world... all people... cities... nations... will ceased to exist..."
"...Wow..." Sakuya said.
"I didn't know that..."
"Hm..." ...The Narutaki twins said.
"Hm, that is why... The Armageddon... will occur at New Year."
"..." ...Everyone is in silent as Isumi said that.
"S-Sa... what should we do?" Asuna asked in an attempt to break the dark mood... though the fear wouldn't go away...
"Ah, there you guys are." ...Takamichi's voice...
"Eh? Ah, Takahata-sensei!"
"Takahata-sensei, what brings you here? ...And Ojii-chan..." Konoka said... Konoemon is here as well together with Shizuna and the two blondes, Evangeline and Athena along with their servants.
"It's good you guys are energetic as usual despite those weirdos over there." Evangeline said referring to the zombies in the gates... and the walls that are trying to get in but find it very impossible due to the barrier.
"It won't last long though... It will take days but that is still a time limit." Athena said. ...The horde of zombies are about to reach the other side of the barrier in just a matter of days... perhaps tomorrow. "...We best hurry to evacuate this place."
"Ah... That is why." ...Konoemon begins then...
...Later, at the library...
"What are we doing here sir?" Haruna asked. The group arrived here along with the staff, Konoemon, Takamichi and Shizuna.
"This... This is the tunnel that will lead us to the magical world and beyond... just kidding."
"Huh?" Everyone asked that.
"This place... is the tunnel to the magical world."
"Sou dau, in which in here, we will be escaping into the city there called Atlantis." Takamichi said.
"Atlantis?" Makie asked.
"Ah... We have a hunch that Negi-kun and Ayasaki-kun are there through the sensory magic in the center room."
"Eh?" Everyone asked... excitedly.
"Boya?"
"Hayate?" ...Evangeline and Athena asked eagerly... with the servants noticing again.
"Hayate-kun?" Hinagiku then... with Miki taking notice...
"Negi-kun?" ...Nodoka... with Yue and Haruna, giggling, taking notice.
"Ah... We suspect-"
"Waahh-!" ...Two guys' voice...
"...! Hm?" ...Everyone turns in front then... Waarrpp! "...! This is...!" The dean and the rest are surprised at the corridor of vortex darkness emerged out of the floor then... Waarrpp...!
Waarrpp...! "Wahh-!" Bonk, bonk...! ...Negi and Hayate... Hayate fell first then Negi... Negi landed on his back.
"Negi-kun! Ayasaki-kun!" "Negi!" "Hayata!" "Hayate-kun!"
"Hayate-onii-chan."
"Hayate-sama, Negi-sama." Sakuya and Isumi said.
"Negi!" "Negi-kun!" "Hayate-kun!" "Hayata-kun!" ...All of the girls embrace the two.
"Eh? W-Wahh...!" ...Both found themselves being cuddle.
"Negi-kun, you're okay~" Makie said.
"M-Makie-san..."
"Negi-kun!" ...The Narutaki twins said.
"Fumika-san... Fuka-san..."
"Yo, Negi-bozu, I'm glad you're safe." Kaede Nagase said.
"Negi-bozu, you're back!" Ku fei said.
"Hayata-kun!" Izumi said.
"Wa... Segawa-san..."
"Mo, just Izumi would be fine~"
"Risa-chin is fine too Hayata-kun~"
"H-Hai..."
"So you're back... good." Miki said plainly.
"Moo Miki, sound happy for a while."
"Hmph."
"Hayate-kun..." Hinagiku kneels before Hayate.
"Hinagiku-san..."
"..." ...Both hold hands... well actually, Hinagiku holds them.
"Shh, we better not interrupt." Izumi whispers to which the two nodded... Risa and Miki that is... though Hinagiku was able to hear them despite that.
"...Hayate-kun... Daijobou?"
"A-Ah... I just..." ...He remembers the time he was stabbed by Ikusa... his own brother. "...I'm okay." ...An assuring smile...
"...Hm." ...Hinagiku takes that to heart with tears and buried her face into his hands sobbing...
"H-Hinagiku-san..."
"Negi-kun... Daijobou?" Nodoka and Negi do the same...
"H-Hai... I'm okay."
"...Hm." ...Like Hinagiku, she buried her face into his hands...
"Heehee." ...Haruna and Yue smile with delight with Haruna giggling.
"Heehee." The trio giggle. ...Those two groups are sort of like similar in a way...
"Negi-kun, Ayasaki-kun, how did you get here?" The dean asked.
"Ah, sir we..." Negi said.
"We ended up in the... well..."
"Magical world?" Takamichi continued Hayate's question.
"Ah... uh... well... yes."
"Really?" Hinagiku asked.
"Magical world? Where is that?" Makie asked.
"Ah, that's..." Takamichi explains...
...Then, a while later...
...Tap, tap... Some group... The Baka rangers to be precise are on their way to the bottom level of the library island of Mahora where the switch for turning on the Mahora's defense mechanism of evacuation is located. Hayate, Negi, Asuna and the other "dumb" members of their class are here... Specifically, Yue, Kanade, Makie and Ku fei. "Say, what is this... defense mechanism anyway?" Asuna asked as they continue on while tapping onto the flat surfaces of each large shelves all over the area... The place is like a maze in which if you fall, you'll go back from the start. The Baka rangers are equipped with... ridicolously with a bunch of ranger stuff... which are not really equipments... at all to be precise.
"I heard it's the defense trigger mechanism to evacuate the place into a safer location, the dean mentioned it once to us." Yue said.
"Oh really?"
"Ah, I heard Mahora academy's history of being a shelter for young orphans for one." Negi said recalling the history lesson in class.
"Wow, I'm amazed you remembered that Negi-kun." Makie said.
"Ha ha, not really..."
"Though I also recall that." Hayate said.
"Ah, huh?"
"Hm." Both Negi and Hayate nod.
"Hmph." Asuna grunted at their usual behavior of being all knowing... though in her case... it's being obnoxious... which is not... "Tch, those damn obnoxious guys." ...She leans in to Yue as she said that.
"...Or maybe you're just too dumb." She said.
"Urusai!"
"Now now Asuna, let us keep our attentions focus on the road up ahead, this is quite a handy trip we're making, so you guys been to the magical world right?" Kaede asked Negi and Hayate.
"Hm." Both nod.
"Sa, why don't we get this over with?"
"So so, we need to hurry to prevent those maniacs from-" Crash! "Gyahh-!" As Ku fei said that... a...
"Huh?" Everyone wonders on that sudden loud banging then...
Crash! Stomp! "Wohohoho!" ...A gigantic golem... with a heavy metal mallet... which is probably 15 cm high... like him. "Wohohoho! You have come! Wohohoho! You have come to this sacred place of mine!"
"Gyaahh-!" ...Everyone screamed in terror... sort to speak. As the girls have not much experience with extraordinary beings such as demons and other evil creatures like Negi and Hayate, this is a new experience for them.
"Ge..." ...Both gentlemen find themselves in a situation in which they are called for protecting... so... "Hn!" ...They have fierce determination on their expressions then... "Hm!" Both nod at each other then... Both draw out respective weapons, a rapier and Negi's staff... as in these are the weapons they have obtained throughout their battles here... in the academy. "Who are you! How come you are to be here!" Negi demanded.
"Yeah, and what do want to intend for us to do?" Hayate asked.
"Wohoho! I am simply here to give you a test."
"...Huh?" ...Everyone sweat drops at that odd suggestion of his...
"So..." ...He brings out a paper... "I am going to give you guys a bunch of informations and you guys will have to fill up the letters in this tablet." ...A circular tablet comes in flying from below.
"Huh?" Everyone wonders on what it is then...
"This is...?" Hayate asked.
"A tablet...?" Asuna continued.
"Yes, you have to do everything... or rather, you must fill in the correct letters if you wish to get out of this place unharmed! Wohohoho!"
"Huh? Just do you mean by that?"
"I think he means..." Hayate said.
"Huh?"
"That he'll crush us if we fail his quiz." Yue said.
"Ehh-!" Makie and Ku fei screamed. "Th-Then what should we do?" Makie asked frightened.
"Well..." Hayate said.
"I think we best accept his challenge." Kaede said.
"Hm, there is no choice in the matter." Yue said.
"You sound pretty damn calm about it though." Asuna said bewildered by the girl's calm behaviour.
"Here it comes..." Hayate said... The tablet begins producing letters then...
"Now then... first quiz is..." The golem begins then...
...A while later...
"Ge..."
"Ugh..."
"Gyah!"
"Ah!" ...Everyone find themselves in an awkward position in reaching forth for the letters of their answers... as some of the girls underwear can be seen by the two guys, Hayate and Negi, and they make sure they don't touch their... sensible body parts, sort to speak... "Gwahh-! Why the hell do we have to reach out of the letters in this damn tablet!" Asuna complains.
"It can't be helped Asuna-san." Negi said.
"Urusai brat!"
"Focus more on reaching please." Yue said.
"Geh..." Asuna is annoyed.
"Ge... Just a little further... there." Kaede reaches another kanji letter then...
"Hmm... Hmmnhm~ You guys are doing great, only one more answer to go." ...The golem watches from the side, enjoying their awkward situation together.
"Almost... there." Dooiiinnkkk! ...A loud improper sound is heard as Asuna reached another kanji letter which is...
"Uh... A-Asuna-san... You..." Hayate and the rest sweat drops.
"Chose the wrong letter..." Kaede continues what he was about to say...
"Eh...? Eh? Eh!" ...She realizes that...
"...Now what?"
"We're doomed..." Makie and Yue said.
"Ha ha..." Ku fei merely laughs then...
"Wroooonngg! You got mispelled the answer! Now..." ...The golem stands up with the mallet then... "Die!" Crash! STOMP!
"Gyaahh-!" The tablet collapses! And everyone falls down to the abyss below!
"Gyaahh!"
"W-W-Waahhh! I'm too young!" Negi said fidgetting while falling.
"Springfield!" ..."Big brother" reaches out.
"Oi, you two, do something!" Asuna said.
"Damn... Ah!" ...Hayate focuses then... "Ra!" Flash!
"Skaawwkk!" ...The Phoenix...
"Wah!" Everyone is stunned by it then...
"Skaawwkk!" Ablaazee...! ...Ra turns into its phoenix mode then...
"Waahhh-!" ...They are all taken to the back and it flow to the abyss below for safety...
"Wohohoho! You cannot hide from me! Wohohoho!" ...The golem said.
...All the while... at the "safe" part of the library above...
...Everyone who is not a part of the baka rangers are here, wondering about their fates then... "It sure is taking them long..." Hinagiku along with inchou's honorary members of "dismemberments from the bakas" are sitted together in a table.
"Sou ne... I hope nothing happens to Negi-chan..." Ayaka said... then...
Ayaka's imagination...
...In an ice field of snow... "Negi-chan, daijobou?" ...Negi and Ayaka are on a snow cone...
"Ayaka-san... I'm cold."
"Aww... Here, let onee-chan cover you..."
"Ah, arigatou..."
End of Imagination...
"Gyahh-!" ...She blushes and jump wildly at that imagination much to the awkwardness of the others...
"Shotacon." They all commented.
"But..." ...Now it's Hinagiku's turn...
Hinagiku's imagination...
...Should she and Hayate turn into a different direction from the others. "Ne, Hinagiku-san, since we're all alone, you think this is a date isn't it?" Hayate asked.
"Wh-What's this all of the sudden?"
"Well, I cannot bring myself to think other else than that and we seem to be a romantic spot here."
"W-Well, even if you say that..."
"That's why... Why don't we make it more like we're dating Hinagiku-san?" ...He said with a wink...
"Ah... Wa... W-Wait...!" ...And they did explicit things...
End of Imagination...
"Te! What am I thinking, there's no way I-"
"Hey Hina-" ...A bunny dog... a dog stuff doll that is on the arm...
"Gyaahh-!" ...It's the trio... who are not really the trio as...
"E... Eh? Izumi? What are you-?"
"Hahaha!" The three laugh then... ...They remove the disguises, revealing themselves to be the three cheerleaders, Sakurako, Misa and Madoka.
"Got you Hinagiku! We got these costumes for a thousand yen from those friends of yours." Misa refers to the trio... who she got it from is probably from Miki...
"Huh?" Hinagiku asked bewildered then...
"Yes, yes, we thought you were worried for that Ayasaki guy so we thought of cheering you up!" Sakurako said.
"Wh- I was just... Nevermind." Hinagiku said turning away blushing.
"Oh she's blushing~" Misa said.
"Urusai!"
"Katsura." ...Setsuna calls out.
"Wh... What?"
"You should go too."
"Eh?" ...Setsuna leans closer... then places the Shirosakura she's holding to her arms...
"You love him don't you?"
"Wha...! What's this...!"
"Heehee." The three cheerleaders giggle.
"That's why... You should be with him and the rest, I'll go watch over Ojou-sama and her friends." She refer to Konoka and the others.
"But..."
...All the while... A while earlier...
...The trio intended to go to the library section of the "maze" as well though they find themselves in difficult situation... they immediately got sent to the abyss due to their recklessness... Izumi to be precise. "Mo~ I'm so wet..."
"That is because you made us trip." Risa said, the three of them are wet as they said.
"Yeah." Miki said.
"Oh come on guys, I merely saw a banana on the floor and got tripped all the way down here... ha ha." Izumi laughs it off but it ended in failure due to the awkwardness... "I'm sorry..."
"...Hm." ...Both nod, accepting the apology then...
"Gyaahh-!" ...A bunch of voices then... Splash, splash...!
"Hm?" ...They turn to the nearby pond that is behind a bookshelf... there are many of those everywhere as this is an librabry island.
...Then... After a while...
"Yaayy!" Splash!
"Yeah!" Splash! ...The Baka rangers, and that of the "Hina-chan fan supporting club", are on this pond having a swim party... as Makie and Izumi suggested... Negi and Hayate find it difficult to join... since they are males and all... as different gender, they find it difficult to join in different girls in bikini, especially Hayate who is a teenager and is quite sensitive to these things unlike Negi who is still ten... but he does have a sensitive side about this... seeing Women naked and all...
"Come on in Ayasaki-kun, Negi." Asuna said.
"Yeah, the water's great." Kaede said.
"Super great!" Ku fei added... which made the two guys sweat drop.
"Uh no... we..." Hayate said.
"I think... We'll rather... pass..." Negi said then...
...Crack! Shaakkee...! "Huh?"
"What the...?"
"An earthquake...?" ...The ground shakes then...
Crack! "Wohohoho!" ...It's Mr. golem as Makie said a while earlier... "I found you!"
"Gyaahh-!" Everyone screams.
"Y-You...!"
"How did you find us!" Hayate and Negi said.
"Wohoho! I know this place thoroughly, you cannot escape me! Guah!"
"Gyaahh!"
"Gyaahhh!" ...Makie and Izumi are caught.
"Save us, Negi-kun!" "Hayata-kun!" ...Both girls said with different names calling... The respective gentlmen that is.
"Tch... Hm." Both nod at each other then... "Hiyaa!" Flash!
"Rooaarr!"
"Skaawwkk!" ...Narukami and Ra... then... Boom! Ablaaze...! Shoock...!
"Izumi-san!"
"Makie-san!"
"Hayata-kun!"
"Negi-kun!" ...Both of them catch the two, though Negi finds a little hard effort in carrying Makie since he's a ten year old boy and all... as for the golem...
Ablaaze...! Shoock...! Both the flames and shocking electricity of Narukami vanishes then... "Wohoho! You got stronger I see... good, this will be to satisfy the girl!" ...One can wonder what he means who is this girl he mentioned then... "Huwaahh!" ...He raises his metal mallet then...
...All the while, above... at Evangeline's manor to be precise...
"..." ...Evangeline, being accompanied by Chachamaru on her room, stare out of the window with a stern look.
"...Master, are you worried by Negi-san's sake?"
"No way, I wouldn't what happen to that son of that stupid man." ...She said mockingly towards the boy but... Turning back to the window... "...Grk!" ...She gritted angrily... then...
...Back to the below section of the school...
"Hiyaa!"
"Hiyaa!" Clash! Clash...! ...Both Negi and Hayate parley with the golem then...
"Huaah!" Claash...! ...After clashing with its heavy mallet, it pushes them away then. "Wohohoho! You two are indeed magicians, but can you survive this!" Flash...! The mallet glows and becomes bigger... and draws to the group!
"Gyaahh-!" Everyone realizes that then...
"Stop that!" Ablaaze...! Ablaaze...! Hayate fired fireballs which... Boom, boom...! It managed to slow down the attack but...
"Take this! Hiyaa!" Roaarr! Shoock! Boom! ...Narukami finished the job.
"Wohoho!" ...For some reason, the golem in delightened... "Wohohoho!"
"Why's he laughing?" Hayate asked.
"I don't know..." Negi said...
"Hey, what's so funny!" Asuna demanded to which...
"Oh nothing... wohohoho... I am simply... I WILL CRASH YOU ALL! HA HA HA! WOHOHOHO!" Stomp, stomp...! ...Crashing time... sort to speak...
"H-Hey! I didn't mean that! Run-!"
"Hyaaahhh-!" ...Everyone runs for it... They are heading for the lower ground through the elevator in the section stairway on the deck section...
...Later...
...Tap, tap...! Negi and Hayate and the rest of the group run for the elevator at the end of this circular stair way then... "*Huff* We made it!" Click. "Huh?" ...Just as Hayate and the others arrived at the elevator's door, Hayate pushed the button... which only gave a blank response. Click, click... "Why is it...?"
"It's out of power. Makie, the fuse box." Yue said pointing the nearby fuse box.
"Eh?"
"Right!" ...Makie pushes the button in the fuse box in a hurry... much to the awkwardness and...
Ton! ...The elevator door opens. "Whoa... It open..." Hayate said.
"Yes..." Negi said.
"Wohohoho! I'm coming!" Stomp, stomp...! ...Here comes Mr. Golem.
"Gyahh-! Everyone get in!" Asuna said... and they all get in. "Alright, Ayasaki, go for the basement floor!"
"Right!" Click. "Eh?" Click, click... No improvements... "How in the..." Riing, riing... The warning sound sounded... "Huh? Too much weight?" ...The letters on the warning tablets say that it's overweight... "We're..."
"There's too many of us! Everyone, throw away your belongings!"
"Eh!" Everyone complains.
"I... I can't throw this staff!"
"Ja, you can have this!" Toss! ...Risa throws away her bag.
"This too!" Izumi next...
"Hmph." ...Miki plainly throws her.
"Right, you guys too." Kaede said. ...To which the others abide.
"..." ...Waiting for the elevator... "Huh?" ...Still overweight... "...It's still overweight..." Hayate said.
"There must be something wrong." Click, click... Risa clicks again but... "Tch... No good."
"Wohohoho!" ...The golem's voice...
"Dammit! Take off your clothes!"
"E-Eh!"
"Eh!" ...Hayate and Negi were embarrassed at that suggestion of Risa... They did so, though only the girls strip. ...Now only bras and panties.
"Gyahh-! Still no improvement!" Makie said.
"Should we...?" Izumi asked for the stripping... as in completely naked this time... Toss, toss...! i
Steammm-! "Uh... S-Springfield... C-Cover your eyes..."
"Guh... If Chamo-kun would be here..." ...He's probably excited by now...
"Hurry!" ...Completely naked... they throwed their undies outside... but... Toiinnkk-! ...The sound still sounded... overweight.
"What! What's with this!" ...Everyone exclaimed with a thoroughly red Hayate and Negi.
"What's up? Why is it still overweight?" Asuna asked.
"Wohohoho! You cannot escape from me!" ...Mr. Golem is hanging on to the sides of the elevator... which might explain the overweight part.
"Gyahh-! I-It's you!"
"You're the reason we can't move!" ...Asuna and Makie said.
"Gyahh... I'm... I'm thoroughly naked..." Izumi said.
"You're not the only one..." Risa said.
"Hm." ...Miki plainly nods...
"Dammit... Stop clinging to the side dammit!" Strike!
"Ugh!" ...Hayate kicks off the golem to the abyss below but... Ablaaze!
"Huh?"
"Wohohoho! I have booster." ...It refers to the jet pack on its back...
"Gyahh-! No!" ...Everyone exclaims.
"Wohohoho! Huh?" ...A sound is sounding... it sounds like an annoucement...
"Huh? That's..." Asuna said.
"Attention Baka rangers," ...It's inchou...
"Ayasaka-san?" Negi asked.
"Inchou-san?" Hayate asked.
"I hate to interrupt whatever activities you're taking down there but... There are a horde of maniacs coming to the campus! The barrier is broken and they're on their way here!" ...That's what Inchou said... which...
"EHHH-!"
"Th-The academy...!" Asuna said...
"It's been overrun...?" Makie asked.
"No..."
"Everyone..."
"..." ...The trio said.
"Tch, sorry about this..." Hayate said.
"Huh?" ...The golem questions what he means by that then...
"We don't have time to party with you, so we're just going to kick you out! Let's go, Springfield!"
"Hai!" Strike! Strike! Strike! STRIKE! STRIKE! SHOOCK... ABLAAZE... BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOOM!
"Whoa..." ...The girls were thoroughly both impressed and were horrified by the carnage that were done on the golem by the two gentlemen.
"*huff* *huff* Ah." Both take their breathes then...
"Wohohoho... wohohoho... I am down..." Whoosh... It falls to the abyss as Hayate and Negi watch it falls... "You have passed the test! Negi Springfield! Hayate Ayasaki!"
"Huh?" Both question what he mean by that.
"What does... that mean?" Negi asked.
"I don't know..." Alarm... alarm... The danger alarm continues sounding so... "Gyah! We don't have time for that! We have to activate the shelter now!"
"R-Right!"
"Hurry up! Push the button for the basement level! We don't have much time left!" Asuna said.
"Right!" Click. Hayate does so then...
"Wait up!" ...Risa took the oppurtinity to take back their clothings and undies that they thrown away and made it back in time while Hayate and Negi were brutalizing the golem. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Moo~ ...That was so long." Makie complains.
"Yeah... What kept you Risa-chin?" Izumi as well.
"Sorry, but I have to be careful that Hayata-kun doesn't see my ass."
"Gyahh-!" ...A strike of embarrassment struck Hayate.
"Oh... Did you Hayata-kun~?"
"N-No, geez, Asakaze-san... Don't embarrass me like that!"
"Heehee."
"Nevermind about that! We have to hurrryyy-!" ...Asuna exclaims then...
...All the while... outside of the campus building of Mahora...
"Tch... Hiyaa!" Ablaaze...! ...Evangeline casted a dark flame attack magic on the assaulting monsters...
"Tch... How annoying." ...While Athena deals with the assaulting zombies of people... who she cannot kill as Takamichi ordered, and she has to purify them in the process. "This is boring..." 'Hayate... Would you hurry up and...' "Come back here so that we may spend our lovely time together!" Ablaaze...! Boom! Boom...! ...She angrily attacks at the mob for ruining her spending of time with Hayate when he shortly returned to the campus along with Negi... who also Evangeline wanted to accompany but both parties were needed somewhere else... like husbans and wives on different schedules... sort to speak. Athena wishes to accompany Hayate, much to her servant, Machina, charging, because... because... there's nothing more beautiful than Love in the world... she admit that feeling towards the young man...
"Grr! Hiyaa!" ...Evangeline however... Although not the same feeling that Athena has for Hayate, she shows affection for Negi, the son of the son she sort of despise for trapping her in her Mahora... for good reasons of course... though it may see cruel when looking at it, it brings great outcome. "Boya... After this..." ...She prepares a spell then... "After this you have to date me for a week!" Boom! Booom!
"Oi, don't kill the people! Only the monsters!" Takamichi comes and yell that.
"We know!" Both girls said then... Boom! Boom...! ...The preservation of the environment continues.
...All the while...
Slice! Slice! "Hiyaa!" ...Hinagiku and Setsuna are dispatching some monsters while protecting Konoka and the others.
"Se-chan!"
"Do be careful now! Oh Negi-chan... Where are you~~?" ...Ayaka falls into despair... sort to speak.
"Ah... Inchou... I don't think you have to worry about Negi-kun." Konoka assures awkwardly with a sweat drop.
"Yeah, I'm sure he's fine, Ayasaki-kun and the others are with him." The gymnastic, Yuna, said.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Hm."
"Sou ne." The others also agreed.
"But..." Konoka turns to the horde of invaders... 'What should we do now? The academy is...'
Slice! "Hayate..." ...Hinagiku focuses her thoughts on the one she loves then... "I will..." Flash...! ...The Shirosakura glows, acknowledging her love for that person then... Flaash...! "I will..."
"Grooaarr!"
"I will wait for you!" Slice! Flaasshh...! A very long energly slash... Slice, slice, slice...! ...A lot of monsters were destroyed...
"Whoa..."
"Sugoi..."
"Katsura-san..."
"As expected of her..." The others were impressed by her.
"Hmph." Slice! "I got to hand it to you... Katsura... my eternal partner and rival..." ...Setsuna acknowledges her devotion to the one she loves... but... "But..."
"Grooaarr!"
"I will protect Ojou-sama as well! Sword of mine, give me strength!" Slice! Slice...! ...And so does she...
...Meanwhile... Back to the group.
...Ton. ...The elevator arrives at the bottom level. "This is it..." Hayate said. ...He takes the first step towards a platform... with a control panel on it. "Hm?" ...They all approach it then...
"What is this?" Makie asked.
"A computer?" Asuna asked.
"Hm..." ...Yue accesses it... "It's a defense system mechanism... You can't activate it without a proper authorization..."
"What? You mean we can't activate it by ourselves?"
"I'm afraid so... And if we can't activate it..." Shake...! ...An earthquake...
"Wh-What's going on...?"
"Things are not looking good above, we better do something..." Hayate approaches the console... and started pushing anything.
"Ayasaki-san, let me help." ...Negi as well.
"O-Oi, Negi-kun..." Makie calls out.
"Hayata-kun..." ...And so is Izumi.
...click, click... No improvement... "Damn... What should we-" Ton, ton... ...Something is triggered... "Huh?"
"System activated, acknowledging the user's pure heart."
"Huh?" ...Both gentlemen asked that.
"What does it?" Negi asked.
"I... I don't know."
"Did you guys activated something? What is it?" Everyone leans in as Asuna said that... Tick. "Huh?" ...A oblong flat object emerges out of the panel.
"Please state one's identity."
"...Huh?" Everyone asked the computer's request.
"Please state one's identity."
"..."
"Please state one's identity."
"...Hm." ...Negi touches the oblong object.
"O-Oi, Negi..." Asuna said worried.
"Negi-san." Yue as well.
"Negi-kun..." ...Makie.
"Springfield..." ..."Big brother"... Hayate.
"...I'm Negi Springfield." ...Negi said to the computer.
"...Affirmative. One's identity has been verified and recorded. Now... Commencing the magical defense system... Now." Tick!
"Huh?" ...The lights turned off. "Guah!"
"Whoa!" Asuna clings on to Hayate...
"Wh-What's going on!"
"Wah! Negi-kun!"
"Hayata-kun!" ...Everyone got afraid. ...And so...
"Defense... Mechanism... Activating..." ...Shake!
"W-Wahh-!"
"Wa- Y-Yue-san...!" ...Negi grabs hold of Yue... from the front... of...
"Eh...?" ...Her breasts... small breasts to be precise... "Eh... Gyaahh-!" Slap!
"Guah!"
"Wa! N-Negi-san... I... sorry... I... I accidently..." Shake! "Gyaahh-!"
"Yue-san!" ...He grabs hold of Yue who fell from the platform due to the shaking.
"Ayase-san!" Hayate, while being hold by Asuna, exclaimed.
"Yuechi!" Kaede said.
"Baka blue!" Ku fei said.
"Dammit, what's going on now!" Risa asked then... Most of the machinery all over the area activates then... Shaakke... ...Making the entire campus shake...
...All the while... at above...
"Huh?"
"Wh-What the...?" ...Everyone is in shock of the shaking...
"Grooaahuh?" ...And so are the zombies.
"Wh-What's going on...? Minamoto-san, the dean?" Takamichi asked then...
"I don't know... He still haven't-" Waarpp!
"Ugh..." ...As if a cue, the dean is teleported here, battered... and beaten.
"Sir!" Both Shizuna and Takamichi come to his aid.
"Daijobou, sir?" Shizuna asked.
"It seems you are beaten down... Must've mean they have passed..." Takamichi asked.
"Ah... Ah... Sou da... And now..." The dean said then... Flaash...! Flaash...! Flaaaaas...! ...Circle of light gather and flashes everywhere in the campus... then...
"Wh... What is this?"
"This light..." ...Everyone is bewildere by them then...
"Ah... Hayate-kun..." ...And so is Hinagiku.
"Ojou-sama..."
"Negi-kun..." ...Setsuna and Konoka as well...
"Negi-chan..."
"Negi-kun..." ...And Inchou and the rest.
"Hm... It seems they did it." Evangeline, who has been fighting for a while now, said.
"Hm, seems that way." Flaash...! ...She and Athena finished off the last remaining of the horde... then...
Flaash...! ...The circles glow brighter then... Flaash...! Flaash! ...They all produced waves of light... (Note: Holy in the FF series.) then... Boom! Boom! Boom...! "Grooaarr!" ...It dispatched the remaining monsters and teleported the zombified people outside of the campus...
"Huh?"
"Whoa..." ...Takamichi and Shizuna were surprised at the development.
"This is..."
"Hm, see the potential of the son of the thousand master you two... and his trusted friend." ..The dean said before passing out.
"Sir!"
...The girls wonder on what happened. "What happened...?" Hinagiku asked. Flash...
"All the monsters are gone."
"Hm, and all of the freaks were gone as well."
Flaash...! "Huh?" ...A large circle forms on Hinagiku's feet... then it becomes larger for Setsuna and Konoka to step on.
"Huh? This is...?" Setsuna asked staring at the glowing ground then...
"What's happening...?" Konoka asked.
"Ah..." Hinagiku said then...
Back to the Baka Rangers...
Shake... Shake...! "W-Wah...!" ...Hayate and the rest hang on the railings of the platform while Negi holds Yue's hand tightly.
"Ugh... Yue-san..."
"Ugh... Negi...-san..." ...She can't take much longer...
"Dammit... Now what?" Risa asked as she and the trio hang on a pillar then... Tcckkgghht! "Huh?" ...Whoosh! "Whoa!"
"Wah-!" ...Asuna falls down along with the rest. Then...
"Springfield...!" ...Hayate turns to Negi who is still holding on to Yue as the platform ascends... then... "Springfield!" He comes to his aid.
"Yue-san...!"
"Negi-san...!" ...His grip is loosing... ...tick... tick... Tock! "Guah!"
"Yue-san!" ...They let go... then...
"Wahhh-!"
"Ayase-san!" "Yue!" "Yuechi!" "Blue Baka!"
"Yue-san!" Whoosh...!
"O-Oi, Springfield!" ...Negi jumps from the platform...
"Negi!" Asuna said.
"Negi-kun!"
"Springfield!"
"Yue-san!" Whoosh! ...Using his staff, he flies towards the falling Yue then... "Ge..." Whoosh! ...He uses gravity to slow down Yue's falling then... Catch! ...He catched her in bridal style.
"Ah..." ...She comes face to face with him.
"Daijobou, Yue-san?"
"Negi...-san." ...She blushes at their eye to eye contact in a short distance. "Oh um... Chu." ...She suddenly brings out a juice and take a sip.
"Springfield! Hurry up! The platform is ascending!" Hayate exclaims.
"H-Hai, we better go there." Whoosh! ...Negi ascends with Yue on his arms...
"...Negi-san... This person..." ...She is captivated at him as they ascend... this is kinda like a prince rescued his princess from falling from the sky... "..." ...She blushes at that imagination then...
"Everyone." They made it back
"Negi." "Negi-kun." "Springfield." Everyone gathers at him.
"Mo, that was dangerous! Don't do something like that!" Asuna scolds him.
"G-Gomen..." ...He said as he puts down Yue...
"..." ...Who didn't bother to turn her gaze on him.
"..." ...Miki realizes that.
"Anyway, I'm glad you're safe." Asuna pats the boy on the head.
"H-Hai, so what now?" Shake! "Whoa!"
"Guh!" ...Everyone braces themselves then...
...Back to the surface...
"What's going-" Tcckkkgghh! "Wah!"
"Whoa!"
"Waaahh!"
"Whoa!" ...Everyone is taken by surprise as a pillar emerged out of the ground where Hinagiku, Setsuna and Konoka were on, taking them along for the ride into the highest level of Mahora.
"Huh?" ...Both Evangeline and Athena saw the ascending pillar then... "Is that...?"
"Hayate..." Athena caught a glimpse of her lover... then... "..."
...The pillar stops ascending when all of the campus of Mahora can now be seen. "Wh-What the...?" ...Hayate looks around as everyone regains their composure. "We're... back?"
"Huh?" Everyone looks around as well.
"Whoa, we're so high!" Risa said.
"Yeah..." Izum said.
"Gyaah-!" Hinagiku screams.
"Huh? Hina-chan?"
"H-Height... Height..." ...Hinagiku backs away which...
"O-Oi, Katsura, look out!" Setsuna said to which...
"Eh?" ...Turning around... She's gonna fall if she continues! "W-Wahh!"
"Hinagiku-san!" ...Hayate grabs her.
"Wah! Hayate-kun!" ...She grabs tight of him... she has a phobia for heights...
"Daijobou, Hinagiku-san... You're safe now."
"H-Hai... Hai..." ...She didn't bother to let go.
"...Hm." ...Izumi and trio smiles at that.
...All the while below... "Hmph." ...Athena grunted at the development.
"Well, there seems to be a dramatic development up there." ...Evangeline mocks her of her "husband" cheating on her.
"Hmph, same goes to you..."
"Hmph." ...These two have a rivalry of sort.
"...That boya."
...Back atop a pillar. "This is...? We're above?" Negi looks around at a deck level with Yue trying to spot Nodoka... which she did. She's below with the others. "Nodoka..."
"Yue..."
"Yue-san? Daijobou?" Negi comes to her.
"I-It's nothing..."
"What's wrong? You can talk to me." ...He approaches him and grab both of her hands.
"Eh..."
"..." ...A dramatic development indeed...
...Below... "Geh..." ...Evangeline grunted.
"Hmph, who's laughing now?" ...Athena mocks back for her mockery earlier.
"Hmph."
"Hmph." ...Both give a cold "hmph" to each other.
"Yue..." ...Nodoka watches from below... as the dramatic development takes over... Negi is still holding Yue's hands... "..."
"Whoo!" ...Haruna thought excitedly... She smells drama in the air...
...Back to the group above... "What's going to-" Flash! ...A pillar of circle surrounds Negi. "Eh?"
"Wha...?" ...Yue is stunned by that... "N-Negi-san..."
Flash! "Huh?" ...The same goes for Hayate.
"Hayate?" "Ayasaki-kun?" "Hayata-kun?"
"This is..." Flaash...! "Wahh!" Flash! ...He disappears...
"Hayata-kun!" "Hayate!" "Ayasaki!"
Flaash...! "W-Wahh...!" Flash!
"Negi!" Yue said but... He's no longer there. "Negi..." Shake... "Huh?" ...The whole campus shakes then... Shake, shake...
"Wh-What's going on?"
"The ground... it's shaking." Everyone is panicking.
"Sir..." Shizuna and Takamich cover the dean then... ...Swap... Swaap... Swaaap! ...The Mahora Academy banishes... much to the curiousity of the zombies who were thrown out...
...And a certain someone who is watching from a tall building. "...They've escaped... Hmph, no matter... The Supreme King will deal with them... Haha." ...Avatar Ikusa. "Ha ha ha! Take care of them... old friend." ...One can wonders of who he means...
...Back to the magical world... at the throne room at Atlantis...
"Heehee." ...Nagi Springfield... The supreme king, withi his black dragonic masked on... "Very well... I shall deal with them personally."
"Hm?" ...His servants wonder on who he means then...
...At the streets of Atlantis.
"Moo, what's taking Negi so long?" ...Anya and the others are waiting here. ...They are waiting where they were to be precise. "Ne, Chamo, how much longer does those teleportation stone that you gave them last."
"Hm... Well..." ...Chamo is on her right shoulder...
Swap! "Gyahh-!" Bonk, bonk...! "Ow..." ...Both Negi and Hayate suddenly appeared, stunning them and some of the passing people...
"Negi!" "Hayate-kun!" "Aniki!" ...They tend to them.
"Hayate-kun, daijobou?" Ruka attends to Hayate.
"H-Hai... I'm fine. Springfield?" He asked for Negi's condition.
"He's alright... Negi?" Anya tends to her childhood friend.
"H-Hai... I'm okay... Where's Mahora?" Negi asked.
"Did you did what you were suppose to do Aniki?" Chamo asked.
"Uh well..." Shake! "Wah!" ...An earthquake...
"Whoa!"
"What just happened!" Nagi asked... Some of the surrounding people were disturbed by the earthquake again then...
Swap! ...Mahora Academy appears floating in the sky... (Note: Similar to how the Balamb Garden flies...) "Wha...!" ...Everyone in the city is stunned by it.
"What the...?" Wataru and Saki are surprised...
"What in the...?" ...Nagi and Maria...
"Mahora...!" Negi and the rest...
"What just... happened?" Ruka asked.
"I... I don't know..." Anya said then...
"Freeze!"
"...!" ...Two soldiers surround the group.
"Don't move a muscle!"
"Huh?
"Wh-What is this?" Wataru asked, being restraint by Saki for doing something harsh... then...
"That's them, capture them." A female voice said...
"Huh?"
"Come with us, our leader wish to speak with you." ...A nun... A child nun to be precise...
