After tearing a hole in the very fabric of reality that took the combined might of the Ancient Professor, Megaman, and all of Misato's Chaos magic to set right again, things returned to relative normal (relative being be operating word). Shinji's harem and Negi's harem stood facing each other, after the mutual agreement that some sort of introductions were in order to prevent further damage to the time-space continuum.

Shinji nodded amicably to Negi, who nodded back.

"Shinji."

"Negi Springfield."

The two shook hands.

Asuka made dramatic retching noises.

"Geez, do you have to be so civil??"

"Yeah, Negi," Asuna put in. "He's your competitor!" She and Asuka glowered at each other. Rei and Nodoka glanced apprehensively at each other. Rei's face changed with a sudden 'ping' to bright cheerfulness.

"I am Rei!" she exclaimed happily. "Peace and joy!" with a wide smile she stretched out her arms and approached Nodoka, who kind of backed away. Asuka jumped away spastically, terror in her eyes.

"Oh-God! She changed personalities again!"

"Say, Shinji," Fate/Mana said coyly, "There's more of them than there is of us..." She eyed Konoka, Yue, and the others of Negi's harem.

"Yeah," Hikari said breathlessly, suddenly beside Shinji and intertwining her arms through his. "You need to get busy," she cooed into his ear. "Why don't you start with me..."

As Shinji desperately tried to extricate himself from Hikari's glue-like personality, Negi took on a look of intense study, pondering the possibilities of adding Battalion Shinji's strength to his own Harem. Nodoka gravitated to his side.

"S-Sensei looks cute when he's thinking like that," she said shyly, causing Negi to break concentration.

"Yeah!" Konoka ecstatically embraced Negi, though to her it was more of a brother-sister hug, but the others did not see it that way.

"Kyaaa! He's so cute!"

"Kyaaa! Kyaaaa!"

*mob*

etc etc

Some time later, Shinji and Negi were hiding in an alleyway, breathing hard from a lot of fleeing. The girls, meanwhile, had formed search parties and were busy combing the city for their lost masters.

"Shinji!" Asuka's voice in the distance, yelling. "Shi-i-i-inji-i-i-i!"

"I think we lost them," Shinji whispered, and Negi nodded as they both calmed their breathing.

"SHINJI!" Clattering, crashes of overturning garbage cans, and dumpster lids being opened. "You're making me angry, Shinji!!"

"How did you get involved with someone like that?" Negi wondered. "I mean, I admit my girls are psychotic too, but..."

"-ah, it's a long story," Shinji began to sweat as Asuka's voice deepened.

"You won't like me when I'm angry!" More clattering, smashing of glass. Shinji began to worry, while Negi, who didn't know Asuka's ways, just chuckled.

"This is getting out of hand-" Negi was cut off by a roar.

"GRAAAAAAH!" Asuka's voice was almost unrecognizable. Negi looked over, only to see Shinji's fleeing form.

"If you have half the smarts you look to have, you'd be running too!" he called back. Negi ran. Behind him, Asuka went on a rampage. Negi caught up with Shinji, using magic to enhance his speed so he had the breath to talk.

"How is she doing that? One human can't cause all that carnage we heard-"

"Her clips!" Shinji yelled, white-faced as he pointed behind him Negi. "This is the power of Doom! ...I think. Angst is always a bit messier..."

Negi looked back, and saw a giant Asuka towering over the skyscrapers of Tokyo-3.

"ASUKA SMASH!" She yelled, flattening the city block Negi and Shinji had just vacated. In the distance sirens began to wail, and Shinji was filled with relief that his father had decided to launch an Eva against Asuka. Then he caught sight of what was the actual cause of the alarms. Approaching Asuka's position, flattening buildings as he came, was Sahaquiel. The Angel did not look at all like he had in the original time-line, a massive eye-covered abomination falling from the sky to obliterate Tokyo-3. Well, okay, he was still a massive eye-covered abomination, and as he moved he was obliterating the city, but that was where the similarities ended. In fact, he looked like a giant Hutt covered with eyes, wearing a gigantic blue police hat and badge.

"Ahem-hrm." The Angel cleared its throat and began speaking in a low rumbling voice, looking over a giant pad of paper it held. "In accordance with the provisions against harboring and genetically modifying captured Angelic citizens, I hereby-"

"TOO MANY WORDS FROM GIANT BLUBBER THING! ASUKA SMASH!"

And Asuka smashed. Shinji and Negi got away in the carnage.

Meanwhile, outside Tokyo-3, the slowly growing Angel Conclave was about to get a new member. At this moment, Satchiel lay on top of a crumbling giant building that, when looked at right, resembled a psychiatrist's couch. Shamshel 'sat' to one side, looking over a notebook filled with squibbles that might have been Angelic writing, or might have simply been Shamshel's meaningless doodles.

"So tell me more about your problem," he said in a very clinical voice.

"I keep losing my legs!" wailed Satchiel. "You don't know how traumatic that can be-"

"Please, stay calm, I'm only trying to help," Shamshel insisted. He was interrupted by a dot that got bigger and bigger as it sailed through the sky. Shamshel squinted, frowned, then his 'face' lit up with recognition. "Sahaquiel!" he exclaimed. "Look, brother!" he said, pointing a tentacle at the Angel's descending form. "Sahaquiel is finally here to obliterate this accursed city once and for all!" He did not know that Sahaquiel had been sent on his way via Asuka Express.

"But whatever happened to Matriel?" Satchiel asked.

Before Shamshel could make an informed guess, Sahaquiel's dynamic entry obliterated the newly formed Angel Conclave.
