A/N: So this chapter came a lot later than planned, but school has had me swamped, and I've been reading all 488 chapters of One Piece(Don't own it). Also I'm disappointed in the amount of reviews, while I really appreciate those that do review, I would like more. Anyway this chapter probably ended up a lot shorter than I originally planned, but I'm getting it up to let you all know I'm still alive, enjoy.

Outside Mahora Campus

"Damn, I'm an idiot," Negi was punishing himself for the current situation. They had gotten away with Asuna and Konoka, and he couldn't help but feel it was all his fault.

Nobody was angrier than Setsuna though, she was shaking in fury. She was angry at the people that kidnaped Konoka, she was angry at her friends for not being able to stop them, but mostly at her own weakness. Her voice was shaking, but she managed to get something out, "Negi-sensei we're going after them now!"

"Setsuna-sama we don't no were they went off to," Kotaro said cautiously sensing her ill temper.

Evidently something in Setsuna snapped, because in the next second Kotaro was dangling in the air by the scruff of his shirt. He looked in to Setsuna's eyes and felt a wave of fear wash over him; no longer were they the calm peaceful ones but they had become slits and were golden, almost demonic like.

"Well I suggest you find out mut! Because of you idiots it's hard telling what's happening to Konoka," Setsuna suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder, and turned to see Ku-Fei.

"It is ok Setsuna, we're all upset but snapping at each other won't get us anywhere," Ku-Fei made her grip a little more reassuring and smiled at her.

Setsuna fell to her knees and began to cry, she whimpered out, "I'm sorry everyone."

"Negi-bozu get up, you can't go back to blaming yourself for everything that happens," Kaede stretched out a hand to help him back up.

Negi stared at her for a moment, then the fire in his eyes came back, he took her hand and brought himself to his feet, "You're right, come on everyone let's figure out where they took our friends."

Kotaro regained his composure, "Right, I'll go get Yue-neesan and Jo-chan and meet you all at Eav-san's place."

"Wait everyone!" Chamo screeched from out of nowhere.

"Ermine-kun? I thought you'd be long gone after seeing bad guy," Ku-Fei smirked.

"I was but... You tricked me!"

"You walk right in to that one."

"Anyways, back to what I was getting ready to say, those five are high class criminals!"

"What!?" Negi was taken by suprise from this information.

"Yes, everyone of them is on the top 30 most wanted list in the magic coutry, and have bounty coming close to Eva-san's."

"So is there anyway that we can track them," Kotaro asked unsure if even Evangeline could have a way of finding them.

"I imagine so, Eva very powerful magi," Ku-Fei was trying to keep everyone's spirits up.

"Well let's go I already have Jo-chan and Yuecchi waiting on us," Chamo took off ahead of everyone.

Evangeline's House

"Why should I help you all? All you all ever do is use all my stuff and I never get any thanks for it!" Evangeline was being her usual reuctant at first self.

"Please master, we need your help," Negi of course was begging.

"Hmmm since your foes are high ranking criminals I will but don't consider this help, I want you to consider this a test of your abilities. If you rescue your friends, you pass; and if you die, well you fail of course." Evangeline put on a sinister grin.

Negi was hesitent to answer, he looked back at all of his friends and like always he was afraid to get them involved.

"Negi just agree already, you know we'll help regardless of what you do or say," Kotaro smiled at his friend and Negi knew it was true.

"I accept your test master and we'll be back within' 3 days."

"That's awfully arrogant, and I'm glad to hear you say it, so I'll allow you all to use my portal to the magic world."

"You have a portal?" Nodoka asked out of suprise.

"Well as you know I have a lot of time on my hands, so I managed to construct one." Evangeline pointed out the obvious, but you could sense the pride in her voice.

"Can we really fight this enemy? I mean they managed to capture Asuna-san of all people, she's the strongest one of us and she even has a magic cancelling ability, and they still got ahold of her." Yue stated sounding as if they should take a different approach.

Setsuna smiled for the first time since Konoka had been taken, "We can't do that Yue-san, our friends would charge straight in there for us, so we are going to do the same for them. Besides, there are other metods of capture beyond magic."

Yue chuckled at how foolishly she had been thinking, "Yeah, you're right."

"Well then we'll go grab any items, weapons, or materials we might need and meet back here in one hour," Negi paused for a moment and looked at all his companions and felt a smile come across his face, "and then we'll go save our friends."
