Negi's POV: How is Lyn so powerful, I know she's a mage, but she can work magic I never even knew existed! And she said that she goes by many names, so what does she mean by that? I thought as I saw Lyn encase Asuna in diamond.
"Negi, you'll have to work this device, because only you will be able to make it go to where we want it to." Lyn called out. Breaking out of my reverie is stammered, "Oh, I'm sorry, may I please see that device Satomi-san?"
"Here Negi-sensei." She answered handing me the stopwatch. "Just think of what you want to see and project it into the machine as magic and it should work."
Taking the stopwatch/time machine, I closed my eyes, and brought up every single memory of her I had. I began to mutter Asuna's name and the muttering progressed to shouting, then to screaming, then in a flash of light I felt myself become weightless as the ground disappeared from beneath me.
Opening my eyes, I found myself and to my surprise everyone else in this white, blank void, my vision then faded as I slipped into unconsciousness.
When I came to, I found myself in a forest lying on my back. Not too far from me Lyn stood with her arms crossed staring into the woods, with an impatient look on her face. Sitting up, I opened my mouth to ask Lyn where we were, but she spun around and raised a finger to her lips, indicating that I should be quiet. She then raised her hand and beckoned for me to come closer. Standing up I crept over to where she was standing.
In front of us was a small camp with a tent, small table and a couple of wooden stools set up around a large fire pit. Sitting at the table, was a man that seemed to be in his mid to late twenties, reading a book and drinking out of a glass.
"Oh, my! Lyn that's my father!" I said, pulling at the sleeve of Lyn's dress. In response Lyn clamped her hand firmly over my mouth and pushed us both down into a crouch, just as The Thousand Master looked up from his reading.
***************************************************************
Lyn's POV: Pulling Negi aside, I whispered that we would remain hidden till nightfall, so that we could sneak by unnoticed.
Hours past, and the sky darkened, As The Thousand Master was getting ready to close down camp, and a small voice called out "Nagi! How much long are we going to stay here?" "Not much longer Asuna." Nagi answered.
Stifling a gasp, I watched as a small redheaded girl around the age of ten stepped out of the tent. Beside me I heard Negi whisper "Asuna?" "Shhh…Do you want us to be seen?" I hissed.
"Ah…Ah…" Negi began. "Negi if you cannot shut up, I will personally knock you out." I told him. "AAACCHHOOOO!"
**************************************************************
Negi's POV: "Oh no, this is not good, not good at all." I thought as I sneezed. The resulting gust of wind was powerful enough to destroy most of Lyn's dress. Ah, please, it was just a mistake! PLEASE DON"T KILL ME!!" I begged as Lyn advanced toward me with an enraged snarl engraved onto her face. "Your in for it now, midget! Adeat!"
I stepped back, tripping over a root protruding from the ground As a massive, no gargantuan sword at least nine feet in length appeared in Lyn's hands. A strained screamed escaped from my lips as Lyn raised the massive weapon over her head in preparation to strike.
"Um… excuse me am I interrupting something?" Someone said nearby, nearly causing Lyn to drop the sword. Turning my head, I saw that Nagi had come over to investigate. With him was Asuna, who tactfully turned around and averted her eyes.
"Oh no we've been found! Now what are we going to do?" I thought while my mind churned in an attempt to come up with a proper excuse.
