Persona: Brink of Delusion

Chapter 6: The Apocalypse...

Sera comes out of the shadows with his shadow not reflecting himself but rather, it's shaped as Jehovah. "You're all going to die here."

"Sera. Your name is Sera right?" Hayate asked.

"Ah. And you are Ayasaki Hayate. Ikusa's younger brother."

"You... You know my big brother?"

"He knows a lot." Judas said as flies down beside Hayate.

"Ah... He and I share a sorrowful and joyful past together. And like you, he and I were students of that Academy in England."

"Huh? What's he talking about?" Asuna asked to which Konoka shrug off. This is becoming dangerous as Jehovah's presence makes the atmosphere dark.

"We were once closed to one another. Until he betrayed me..." Sera's expression trails off into a mixture of sad and angry expression. "...just like you people have betrayed me."

"Huh?" Hayate asked.

"What are you talking about?" Negi asked.

"Hmph. You really wish to know don't you." Sera waves his right hand to the right. Flaash.

"...!" To everyone's surprise, they find themselves in a burning village with a lot of dead bodies on the ground.

"Wh-What is this?" Konoka asked frightened.

"This is..." Luca said.

"Did we... teleported here?" Asuna asked.

"No way. Is that possible?" Setsuna asked.

"I don't know. But this is not the temple of the ancients, or whatever they are, right? This village is... where is... or rather, how did we get here?"

"That's exactly my question is. You just repeated it."

"Whatever. Hey, you! Where did you take us!" She said to Sera who simply ignored her.

Sera walks up to a nearby inn. It's burning like the rest of the houses nearby. "Do you know when this is?" He asked Hayate.

"Huh?"

"This place takes place here in Japan. This was six years ago when me and my two close friends came here on an mission to root out Shadows that was said to be on the loose and are preying on the villagers."

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about the betrayal of my two closed friends who happens to be your older brother." He said giving a fiercing angry glare.

"My... My older brother? You mean..."

"Ah. And the other one. Who was a mentor to both of us. Nagi Springfield."

"...!" This shocked Negi. His father was known to have to closed friends and those two are none other than Ikusa and Sera. "You... Then..."

"The three of us were very closed to one another. We even spar in secret in our time together in that academy you two attend to. Until..." He walks off the fires near a burning house. It doesn't hurt him however as it is just an image of what happened six years ago. "Until we were sent here on a mission to rid this cursed place of Shadows. And that was when..."

"Hey, who exactly are you? And how did you get here?" Athena asked.

"Hmph. You think Ancients are the only ones who can acces the house of knowledge without alarming the guardians of their presences?" He asked referring to the monsters that act as guardians of the temple who attack those who are considered 'ignorants' as they do not know about the Ancients and the truth about themselves. This may be an act of desperation for the Ancients in an attempt to prevent those who have no idea of the accursed jewel that is on the deepest part of the temple nor what's its purpose is, from reaching it as they might put the entire world at risk. "The Ancients time is over. And so is the humans. Now, all that is left is for every existence to be delivered to the Promised Land. Ha ha ha!" Again, he gives out an insane laugh.

"Gee..." The girls are frightened by his mannerism and his way of saying 'Promised Land' doesn't sound like a place of salvation at all.

"Grr... This guy's scary." Asuna said to which Nagi nod in agreement. The others are stepping back from where he is standing. The flames can also give off the feeling of as if the burning village is real and that it's burning.

"Soon Mother and I will deliver you all to the Promised Land. And then... We will all be finally be freed of negativity! Ha ha!" Sera said with his hands above as if calling forth for something. "This world will finally be rid of those cursed people who abuses others and those who remain will be delivered to the Promised Land! And the one who will deliver us there is Mother! Ha ha!"

"You're insane! You think you'll save people with your insane ideals!" Hayate exclaimed angrily.

"That's right. You're not trying to save anyone, you're trying to ruin yourself with your delusional ideals!" Negi exclaimed. "You said you were a friend of my father right...?"

"Huh?" Evangeline asked.

"Father?" Asuna asked.

"Did you... ...Did you... Did you killed my father?" Negi asked with tears pouring out of his eyes.

"...Yes. I killed him... With my own hands." Sera said without showing any remorse.

"..." Negi is shocked at this discovery. He's father was murdered... by his own close friend. "You..." He let's out an angry growl at his father's murderer. "You killed my father..."

"And my big brother too...!" Hayate said.

"Ah... I killed them. Because they have betrayed me. They could have sided with me and together we would have brought about the Promised Land to all of those who seek it yet... They have gone against me and Mother. So I delivered them there instead. And now... I will send the two of you there as well to meet them!" Flaash...! In a blink of an eye, he drawed out his seven foot katana and sent a blue energy slash towards Hayate and Negi.

"Ugh!" "Guh!" Both are pushed away by it.

"Hayate!" "Hayate-kun!" "Hayata-kun!" "Negi!" "Negi-kun!"

"Tch. That guy is strong." Setsuna said.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing!" Athena said angrily. "These are our slaves you're hurting, you will pay for-"

Without warning, Sera turns into a red blur and in a second, he is right in front of Athena with his right hand on her throat. "Hmph."

"Ugh! Argh... Arrgh..." She's being choked.

"Onee-chan! Gr, you lowlife human!" Evangeline charges towards him but to something she has not expected her adversary, despite not having the capabilities and attributes of an Ancient, is...

"Hmph." Slurrkvriitk!

"Ugh!" ...more than she can handle. She now shares her sister's fate.

"Hmph. You think Ancients are superior to humans? I am much more superior than both of humans and Ancients."

"Ugh! Argh... Arrgh."

Hayate and Negi regains their composure. "Athena-san!" "Evangeline-san!"

"Tch! Hiyaa!"

"Hiyaa!" The two of them come to the two Tennousos' rescue!

"Hn. This should make the odds equal." *Hero Spell* Flash! Judas casted the Hero Spell to the two of them.

The two of them shines then...! "Hiyaa! Let them go!" Strike!

"Ugh!" The two of them kicked Sera on the chin, releasing both Athena and Evangeline from his grasp. "Argh." He wipes the blood on his mouth as he stands up. He turns to the two of them.

"Hn, hiya!" They then drawed their weapons and charge towards him. But since Sera having inhuman strength that surpasses the Ancients themselves as he mentioned earlier, both Hayate's and Negi's attacks are nothing...

Block! ...but mere nuisances to him. "Hn, you cannot defeat with that strength."

"Ah...!"

"Hua!" Strike!

"Guh!" Crash! Negi is sent flying towards a burning house though the flames didn't hurt him as it is just an image of the past and the way the house is broken is maybe because that is what is replacing a pillar in the chamber that is currently being replaced by these images of what happened in a certain village in Japan six years ago.

"Springfield!"

Claash...! Sera broke off the lock then... "Huuargh!" Clash! clash! He unleashes multiple vicious attacks to Hayate to which he could only block.

"Use the Hero Spell Ayasaki!" Judas said.

"...Okay. Ahh...!" Flash! He does so and white angel wings emerged out of the back of his shoulders.

"Ah...!" Athena is amazed by this phenomenon. "Hayate..."

"Huaa!" Clash! Clash! Hayate then battles Sera in a sword duel.

Clash! Clash! "You are strong. Good." Strike! Sera kicked him away then... "Huaargh!" His long black angel wing emerged out of his right shoulder. "It's been some time before anyone could ever match me in combat. I'm glad there are still guys like you who can entertain me! Arrgh!"

"Hn!" Clash! Clash!

"Ugh. Guh." Negi rises up from the wooden ashes on the burning house. "Ah. Ayasaki-san." He uses his sword to pulls himself up. "Hiyaa!" He then joins the battle but...

"Hey! You're not in condition to-" Evangeline tries to warn him but...

Strike! "Huuah!" Crash! ...He is kicked again by Sera and is sent flying to where he came from.

"...fight." Evangeline finishes her sentence late... She comes to his aid. "Hey, are you alright?"

"Ah, Evangeline-san..."

"Daijobou, Aniki?" Chamo comes out of his shirt. He's been hiding there for some time now.

"Hm? What is this little creature?" Evangeline asked as she grabs Chamo who fidgets from her sharp finger nails. He has witnessed the whole 'dance' earlier and he witnessed the vampiric way that she and her sister move earlier.

"Guh! L-Let go of me! I'm not delicious I swear!"

"...I'm not going to eat you. And besides, I'm not really a vampire." She lets him go. "So, what are you? A character from a fable that this boy gave to life so that he can play with you?"

"No! I'm not a character from some story book! I'm one of the ermine commitee in the Academy in Wales!"

"Ha ha. We'll explain later about that." Negi said.

"Hm. Sa, what are you-"

Flash! "Whoa!" A energy slash suddenly came their way and they barely manage to dodge it. "Hey, watch it!"

Clash! Clash! Hayate and Sera' duel has taken them to a nearby burning house that has a sign 'Sanzenin' on it's door. "Hiya!" Claash...! Both of them lock on then... Claash...!

"Hiya!" Sera broke off the lock then... Strike! He yet again kick him on the abdomen pushing him a little but... "Hiyaa!"

Whoosh! He unleashed another kick towards his left cheek but Hayate manage to dodge it then... "Hiyaa!" Strike! He unleashed a kick of his own and Sera is hit on the left cheek just as he intended to hit him on the cheek.

"Grr..." Clash! Clash! The two of them continue their duel.

"Hey, Ayasaki! Wait up!" Asuna and the others follow them.

"Huh?" Just then Nagi notices the sign 'Sanzenin' on the door. "This is..."

"Nagi?" Maria asked noticing her.

"Maria, look." She points the sign.

"Hm? ...! This is..."

"It's my family's... Wait, this house is... ..." Nagi runs inside.

"N-Nagi!" Maria follows behind.

"Ugh. Ah." Negi regains his composure with Evangeline's assistant.

"Hurry, Aniki! Older Anike needs your help!" Chamo said.

"I'm trying to get up."

"I thought your were strong back there but it seem I was wrong about you. Sigh." Evangeline said disappointed.

"Nah, Aniki is just as strong as Older Aniki. Show her what you are capable of Aniki!" Chamo said.

"A-Ah... Ah. Okay..." Flash. A golden light shines at Negi's feet.

"Huh?" Evangeline is surprised at this phenomenon.

"Ahh!" White angel wings emerged out of the back of his right shoulder like Hayate.

"Ah." Now Evangeline is impressed again.

"Yosh, let's go Aniki!" Chamo exclaimed.

Whoosh! Negi flies towards where the others went. "...Interesting boy."

"You like him?" Athena comes beside her and asked that.

"Hm. I think I'll add him to my list."

"Your 'list'? Oh, right. You fell in love once before." Her sister said recalling someone who is a bloodline to Negi.

"Ah... ...That guy... leaving all of the sudden... And now I found his murderer..."

"...So, what will you do about it?"

"I don't know. That boy looks exactly like him so I think I'll go help him out."

"Is it for him or for you?" She asked in a mixture of a smirk and a mocking expression.

"Hmph. For me of course. You too right? You're going to help that friend of his?"

"Ah. That guy... He reminds of someone who saved me six years ago." A flashback of a certain someone came to her mind. Someone who is a bloodline to Hayate as well. "Sa, let's go. See if we can help those guys."

"Even if they are our enemies?"

"Who knows. Maybe we'll find ourselves entangled with them." Athena turns into a blur and flies towards where everyone went.

"Hm. I guess you're right. As always, the unstoppable instinct never lose. Heehee." Evangeline does the same.

At the burning house...

Crack! "Everyone!" Negi comes in then he finds... "Everyone, where- huh?" ...Nagi and Maria. Nagi is kneeling onto someone who is lying on the blood stained floor. "Sanzenin-san, what's the matter?" He approached them.

"Mom... *sob* *sob*" Nagi said shedding tear on the dead woman who is lying ground.

"You mean... this is..."

"Yes... This is Nagi's mom. Yukariko-san." Maria said.

"Mom..."

"Ah..." Negi is inexperience in comforting someone when they loose someone very important to them so he does not know what to do in this kind of situation.

"Hey... ojou-chan. Remember that that's not really your mother... All of these are just illusions that were created by that Sera guy." Chamo said trying to comfort her at least a little.

"*sob* I know... My mother is already dead..." Nagi said. Then she remembered what her mother said to her when she was granted a request by Judas to let her meet her. "I can't be sad... For her sake. And mine." She stands up. "Let's go. The others have already went ahead."

"Hm." Everyone nods then they all went to the direction where everyone went.

At an unknown facility...

Clash! clash! Hayate and Sera's duel has taken them to an unknown facility a stairway on the middle and there a some huge capsules on the sides. All sides have three of them. "Hey! Ayasaki!" Asuna and the others come in.

Clash! "Hiya!" Claash...! Both Hayate and Sera are on a lock again.

"Do you know this? This is the place where I realized everything." Claash...! Sera broke off the lock then...

Clash! "What are you talking about!" Hayate said.

"I mean this is where I realized where Mother is being kept and my two closest friends attempted to stop me from reuniting with her!" Clash! Clash! Sera unleashed multiple vicious attacks on him but since Hayate has activated the Hero Spell that Judas provided he was able to block all of his attacks without having a hard time to deal with the impact that he is unleashing on his sword that is look like, despite it being thin in width, a large mallet.

Clash! "Grr...!"

"You know what this place is...? This is the place where the journey to the Promised Land begun!"

"You're insane!" Claash...! Clash! Clash! Hayate broke off the lock and unleashes a series of attacks on Sera to which he block with his very long katana.

Keplunk! "Ayasaki-san!" Negi and the others come in. Athena and Evangeline too.

"Hayate!" Athena called out.

Clash! Clash! Claash...! Hayate and Sera continue their duel then... "Huaa!" Clash! Flash! The place is suddenly changed, not in appearance but in atmosphere.

"Huh? Hey... Did you guys felt something... different?" Asuna asked to which everyone nods.

"It feels like-" Setsuna said unfinishes as.

"Sera!" ...! To everyone's surprise, an image of Nagi Springfield, Negi's father, run passed them and head towards an image of Sera who is climbing up the stairs where the real one is fighting with Hayate.

Clash! "Huh?" Hayate as took notice of the images that is coming their way.

"Hmph." Sera is seems to delighten is seeing the images.

"Seraa!" Nagi draws a large broadsword and aims towards the Sera who is climbing the stairs.

"...Hn." The image of Sera turns around then...

"Hiya!" Stab! "Ugh."

"Hmph."

"...!" ...Nagi Springfield has been stabbed on the chest by Sera's seven foot katana.

"..." Negi is very shocked at these images in front of him. "Fa...ther..."

"Sera!" ...! Then an image of Ikusa Ayasaki, Hayate's older brother comes in.

"Ikusa-nii-chan!" Hayate exclaimed.

Ikusa has witnessed the murder of his mentor. The one who commited it is none other than his close friend Sera. "Sera... You... Springfield-san!"

"...Hn." Sera removes the katana from Nagi Springfield's body as he falls to the stairs.

"Father!" "Springfield-san!" Negi and Ikusa exclaimed. Ikusa runs to his mentor.

"Springfield-san! Springfield-san!" He tries to wake him up but his body has already ceased functioning. "Springfield-san..." He then turns to the murderer. "Sera... You..."

"..." Everyone is in shocked of these images.

"What the..." Asuna said with a shocked expression.

"What is this...?" So is Setsuna.

"When did this...?" Konoka asked.

"Father..." Negi intends to come to his father's aid but he knows that these are just illusions of the past that Sera is showing them.

"You..." Evangeline said holding back some sadness. The man that she had mentioned that she fell in love to that time was actually Nagi Springfield himself. And now he has found the murderer of that person. She turns to him with an angry expression.

"Ikusa-nii-chan..." Hayate and Sera stop their sword duel for a while as the images are shown to everyone.

"Sera, how could you...? The town, the townspeople, Springfield-san... How could you do this to them!" Ikusa exclaimed angrily as he drawed out a short sword.

"The town...? Does he mean...?" Setsuna asked.

"That guy burned down the entire town back there? And where is...?" Asuna asked for the exact place of the location they are in.

Athena and Evangeline look around their surrounding. They take interest of the large capsules that are on the sides. "Ne, onee-chan, you think those capsules are...?"

"Ah, there are beings with 'Jehovah' 'pieces' inside them." Athena said much to the others confusion.

"I am the the Messiah. I will deliver all to the Promised Land." The image of Sera said as he points his seven foot katana on the ground then... Blaast! An energy blast is sent on the image of Ikusa.

"Gr!" He tries to block it with his sword then...! Shatter! Shatter! All of the capsules are destroyed by the impact.

"Ah!" Everyone makes sure that they don't go near it though it's not really real since again these are just images that are being shown by Sera.

"Ikusa." Sera points his long katana on Hayate's older brother. "I trusted as you as my friend but you betrayed me. Now, I'm going to take your life as punishment." He enters into a fighting stance.

"Gr. Sera... I trusted you too... But it seems I can no longer save you from your insane ideals... Maybe someone can... Maybe Hayate can..."

"Huh? Ikusa-nii-chan?" Hayate is surprised when he heard that from his older brother who he has not seen for so long.

"But... If I can snapped some of reality within you, I might as well die trying! HIYAA!" Clash! Crash! Ikusa charged towards Sera and he managed to bring to the two of them

to the other room with a nameplate 'JEHOVAH' on it.

"Ikusa-nii-chan!" Hayate follows the images.

"Hmph." Sera follows him as right now he wants to show the horror that took place here long ago.

"Hey, let's follow them." Asuna said and everyone nods. They all follow the two to the room of 'Jehovah'.

At 'Jehovah''s chamber...

Clash! Clash! Ikusa and Sera battles at the edge of the floor of a platform with a large cord that is connected to a large container on the front that is connected to the platform. "Hiya!" Clash! Clash! Claash...! So far Ikusa has managed to keep up with Sera as he unleashes multiple agile and vicious attacks on him.

"Grr!" Claash...! Clash! Clash! Sera broke off the lock then unleashes more attacks on him.

"Huff! huff! Ah." Hayate arrives follow by Sera and the others. "Ikusa-nii-chan!"

Clash! Clash! Ikusa rotates around Sera as they both exchange positions then... "Hiya!" He goes to stab him on his chest but...

Stab! "Ugh!"

"...!" ...he is the one who is stabbed on the chest by his seven foot katana. "Ikusa... nii-chan..."

"Ah..." Athena is shocked at the images in front of her. The one who rescued her during her childhood, who was Ikusa himself, was murdered by his own closed friend. "..." She turns to the murderer.

"Hmph." Sera removes his seven foot katana on him.

"Ugh... Ah... Sera..." Ikusa kneels on the ground bloody. "What... happened... to you...?"

"..." He only gives him an angry glare.

"...I don't know... what comes onto you but... I hope... someone... would be able to save you... Whatever madness that came into you, please know that it's just a fog of deceit like any other. I hope... my brother... my younger brother... Hayate... would..."

"...Huh?" Hayate pays close attention to his brother's last words.

"I hope... he can save you... and that cough, cough. ...he shows you... the Truth... Ugh..." ...Ikusa falls to the ground with his blood being spilled on it.

"Ikusa... nii-chan..." Tears pour out of Hayate's eyes as witness the death of his brother to which he did not know how it happened until now. "nii...chan..." He kneels down to the floor in sadness.

"Ayasaki-san..." Negi said.

"..." Judas flies down near him. "Hey, do not worry about your brother... and your father." He said to Hayate and Negi. "They're now on a much more better place. They're watching over you you know. So don't show those pitiful faces."

"...Hm. Ah." Hayate stands up.

"...Hm." Negi wipes off the tears from his eyes.

"..." Athena and Evangeline take notice of this. They both look down in sadness as Athena gazes at Ikusa's dead body.

"...Your brother is safe. I..." Athena thought as she turns to Hayate.

"That's the price that those who betrayed me pay. And that... will also happened to you as you all have crossed me and Mother!" Clash!

"..." Hayate blocked Sera's attack with ease. "...You will pay... You will pay!" Claash...! Clash! Clash! They're sword duels continue.

"Ayasaki-san... Hiyaa!" Negi joins the battle!

"Ah, h-hey! Negi!" Asuna called him out but her words fell upon deaf hears.

"Hiyaa!"

"Hn!" Clash! Sera blocked his attack then...

"Hiyaa!" Clash! Clash! Clash! Both Hayate and Negi battle Serah.

Everyone watches the duel but then... Crash! ...! Something broke in in the room in the back... "Wh-What was that!" Konoka asked.

"That noise... Could it be...?" Konoemon said then...

"Grooaarr!" A Shadow!"

"Where did they came from!"

"Tch!" Strike!

"Grooaarr!" Strike! Leonne stop the attacking Shadow with a kick on the abdomen then he places his foot on it to prevent it from going berserk and attack the girls since he knows that Konoemon will be very upset if his granddaughter, Konoka, gets hurt. And he does not wish to see how will that transpire. Especially if their connection to the Tennousos is involved. If Konoemon is an state of unstoppable rage he might disobey the Tennousos and he will quickly lose his position in Hakou Academy. And his positon as well too, of course. Though he does not mind losing it since he doesn't care much about it as he is only required to guard certain things for the two sisters. And he finds it a very annoying job. That and the way he is treated by the two Tennousos.

"Hey, back away from the door! More Shadows will come!" He said.

"Leave that to me!" Setsuna steps forth with sword in hand.

"Me too!" Hinagiku as well. "You guys step back."

"No way. We'll fight too!" Asuna and the other rangers bring out their crossbows.

"You'll only be distractions so just stay put. Hiyaa!" Setsuna said as she charges towards the Shadows.

"Hn. Sou da you ne." Hinagiku as well. Slash! Slash!

"Hmph. I might as well help out as well I guess." Leonne said drawing out a desert eagle. "You guys stand back. Konoemon-san, let's go."

"Ah." The dean said.

"Eh? Can you fight ojii-chan?" Konoka asked.

"Mochiro. Watch how this old man fights!" Strike! Pierce! Pierce! Strike! ...Surprisingly, both Leonne and him are very capable fighters.

"Wow... I didn't know your grandpa is very good at kicking butts Konoka..." Asuna said to which the granddaughter nodded.

"I want to fight too!" Ku fei joins the battle.

"Me too. I'll buy you some time Negi-chan!" Ayaka as well.

"Yosh, this should be a good way to test our training from the academy!" Kaede joins as well.

"Yosh! We'll join as well! Come on, Fumika!"

"Hai! Let's go onee-chan!" The Narutaki twins as well.

"Hey! What are we suppose to do?" Haruna asked.

"We might as well take some photos for the memories." Flash! Risa said taking a picture of the fighting of Setsuna, Hinagiku and the other rangers in their group. She plans to take them as photos of their christmas vacation as she mentioned.

"Yeah right. Like that will help." Haruna said with a sweat drop on her head.

"Negi-kun!"

"Negi-kun!" Nodoka and Yue attentions are focused on Negi who is fighting alongside his best friend.

Clash! Clash! The two of them are keeping up with Sera. Athena and Evangeline watches from the sides. "Hey, what should we do?" Evangeline asked.

"Hm. Perhaps we should lend them our assistance. They are our slaves after all."

"Hm. I suppose so."

Clash! Clash! Hayate and Negi got Sera corner to the edge of the platform floor then... Claash...! Sera pushed them away a little then... Whoosh! He jumps upward then... "Hiyaa!" Flaash... Blast! He rains down negative energy beams towars the two!

Block! Block! "Huh?" Hayate and Negi find themselves being protected by a black barrier. Turning around they...

"Need some help? Since you guys are our slaves we won't let you die for the services you will give us soon." Evangeline said.

"Yes. So..." Athena walks up beside Hayate while her sister walks up beside Negi. "Shall we?" She enters into a fighting stance.

"...Hm." Hayate nods. He and Athena will be partners.

"Sa, come boya. Let us teach this annoying guy a painful lesson." Evangeline will be Negi's partner.

"...Hm. Hm!" They then turn to Sera who is standing on the cord that is connected to the large container behind him.

"Hmph. You think all of you against me will do you any favor? It will take more than that to overcome me." Sera waves his left hand behind him.

Crack... The container behind him forms cracks. Some of the liquid inside are pouring out due to that. Inside that container is... "..." ...'Jehovah'... Craack... Craaack...

"Hm? What is that?" Athena asked. Hayate, Negi and Evangeline turns to her direction then...

...shaatter... Shatter! The container glass shatters! "Grooaarr!" The 'Jehovah' inside breaks through the glasses.

"Ah...!"

"Grooaarr!" It then turns into a black mist and goes beside Sera. It morphs into a humanoid shape... "Grooaarr! Grooaaar!" It morphs into the appearance of Sera but it's colored black as it is just immitating his appearance. It also has a seven foot katana that is immitated as well. It seems 'Jehovah' can immitate a lot of things including humans and objects. It seems to be capable of doing various things like morphing and who knows what else.

"...!" The four are taken by surprise at this then...

"Hn!" "Grr!" Sera and Sera/'Jehovah' enter into a fighting stance then...! "Hiya!" "Grooaarr!"

"Tch!" Clash! Clash! Sera fights Hayate and Athena while Sera/'Jehovah' fights Negi and Evangeline. "Guh!"

"Hnrrgh!" Sera mainly focuses his attacks on Hayate while Athena is allowed to attack him however she want.

"Ge, you are just toying with us aren't you? Very well, now you shall know our power!" Kreek! kreek! She unleashes a wave of bats towards him!

Clash! Clash! "Hn!" Whoosh! He jumps upward to evade them but... "You cannot defeat me with this pathetic attack." Flash. The ceiling above Sera glows, making the bats all go unconcious, nullifying the attack.

"Tch!"

"Hiya!" Whoosh! Hayate chases Sera above then... Clash! Clash! Both of them clashed in mid-air! Clash! Claash...!

Clash! Clash! "Grooaarr!" Sera/'Jehovah' does the same to Negi and Evangeline.

"Ge!" Whoosh! Crack! Negi jumps out of the way to avoid its attack so the steam pipe is the one that is destroyed instead. "Hiyaa!" Clash! He then unleashes aerial attacks on Sera/'Jehovah'.

"Grooaarr!" Clash! It tries to fight back then...

"Ahh... Ah!" *Megidola* Boom! Evangeline fired three energy balls towards it. The area is covered in smoke but then...

"Grooaarr!" Sera/'Jehovah' emerges out of the smoke and charge towards her!

"Gyah! Ugh!" Bonk! She is slammed on the floor. "Ugh... Arrgh..."

"Evangeline-san!" She's being chocked by Sera/'Jehovah'. Not standing for it, Negi charges towards it! "Let her go! Huaa!" Clash!

Sera/'Jehovah' blocked his attack then... "Grooaarr!" Claash...! It pushes him away then it decided to take Evangeline as hostage. It places it's immitation of the seven foot katana of Sera on her neck.

"Evangeline-san! Grr... Hiyaa!" He rushes towards it regardless then...

"Muah!" Crunch! Evangeline bites Sera/'Jehovah''s hand.

"Grooaarr!" Causing it to agonize in pain due to the sharpness of her bangs. She manages to break a little but...

"Hiyaa!" Strike! Negi kicked it on the chest causing it to fall down to pit below then... "Hiyaaa!" Slice!

"Grooaarr!" Its head has been sliced!

Strike! "Negi-chan!" Ayaka exclaimed as she kicked one of the Shadows away.

"Gyaah!" Evangeline is about to fall off along with Sera/'Jehovah' to the pit below but...

"Ah!" Negi reaches out to her and he catched her hand. "Evangeline-san!"

"Guh. Curse it... Huh?" Looking below, there's water... It seems to be very deep. ...Which frightens her since...

"Grooaarr!" Splash! Shoock! ...she's not good at swimming. Sera/'Jehovah' fell into the water which is apparently electrified and Sera/'Jehovah' being electrified by it is evidence of that. It dissolved into black mists as it died on underwater.

"Gyaah!" Evangeline is frightened that she might fall so she hangs on to Negi tightly but... Zap!

"Guh!" An electric shock suddenly eletrifies their hands causing them to let go each other then...

"Gyaaaah!"

"Ah, Evangeline-san!"

"Huh!" Athena takes notice of what happened. "Evangeline!"

Clash! "Springfield, help her!" Hayate exclaimed as he and Sera have locked on again.

"Gr... I... Okay!" Whoosh! Negi jumps onto the water!

"Negi-kun!" Nodoka and Yue exclaimed.

"Hn. Time for the truth to rise up." Judas said as he follows Negi.

"Evangeline-saan!" Whoosh! Negi quickens his pace with the assistance of his wings. "Ahh! Evangeline-saaan!"

"Gyaaah!" Evangeline is just within reach for the water to grasp! ...Sort to speak.

"Ahhhh!" ...Catch! He got her!

"Ah."

"Evangeline-san!"

shoock... Shoock! "Gwah!" The water suddenly splashes causing some of it to eletrify Negi. "Guh!"

"H-Hey!"

"Daijobou. Hnnwaah!" Whoosh! He tosses her upward!

"H-Hey! What are you-!"

"Chachamaru-san!"

Whoosh! "Order executed." Chachamaru said as she came flying and catched Evangeline.

Shoock! Shoock! Splash! "Grooaarr!"

"...!" Something suddenly emerged out of the electric water and grabbed Negi's leg! "Huh!"

"Grooaarr!" It's Sera/'Jehovah'! It only has its torso though as the rest of its body have been destroyed by the water.

"Huh! It's still alive!" Evangeline said.

"Guh! Ahh!" It pulls Negi to water!

Shoock! "Grooaarr!"

"Gwaah!" Splash! Shoock! ShooOOCK!

"H-Hey! Boya!"

"Negi-kun!" Evangeline, Nodoka, Yue and Haruna exclaimed.

"Springfield-san..." Chachamaru said with concern. "...Hm?"

shooock... SHOOCK! SPLASH! "...!" To the girls' surprise a huge splash bursted out of the water then...

"Hua!" Negi emerged out of the water with his sword stabbed on Sera/'Jehovah'. Izanagi is also summoned.

"Grooaarr!" ...It would seem that since Izanagi is a god of thunder, electricity does not hurt Negi. "Grooaarr!"

"Hn." He removes his sword from Sera/'Jehovah' and let it falls to the water, this time, it's really dead.

"Negi-kun!" "Alright, he did it!" Nodoka and Haruna exclaimed.

"Ah..." Evangeline has taken captivity of romantic feelings for the boy due that feat he just performed.

"..." Chachamaru has taken an hint of that. "Master, do you..."

"Wh-What?"

"Do you like Springfield-san?"

"D-Don't ask ridicolous questions like that! Of course not!" She said looking away from her while blushing.

"...Affirmative master." The droid maid said acknowledging her embarrassment of admitting her feelings.

"Wh-What? I do not know what you're talking about. Just drop that subject already."

Negi flies back to them and lands on the platform floor. "Evangeline-san, daijobou?"

"A-Ah. I didn't need your help. Just so you know, I could have gotten out of that predicament ealier, understand?"

"Uh... Okay, but... I'll still be your partner and I'll do everything I can to protect you." The boy vows on that.

"Er... Y-Yeah..." Again, she sees some of Nagi Springfield on him. "...This boy... You..." The image of Nagi Springfield smiling on her came to her mind as if he's saying 'see how incredible my boy is? Why don't you be with him instead? I already have a wife after all. Ha ha.'. This irritated her however but it also gives her a new hope in his son in which perhaps he can be a suitable replacement for him since he's... dead, much to her sadness, and that he already has a wife who can only wonder if she is still alive since Negi hasn't seen her ever since she gave birth to him. "...Hey, boya."

"Hm? Nani?"

"I'll accept to your words but... Should you take it back, expect a hell to pay okay?" She said in a devious smirk.

"Eh... Okay." Negi feels like he has just put himself in a dangerous romantic relationship. Though he's certain that she'll never do something... devious, sort the least. Or so he wish. Assuming of course, by 'hell' she doesn't mean his life will be in the line. Well, just so as long as he remains true to himself, he should be fine.

"Well, that turn out okay. Hmm?" Judas emerged out of the fit. He just made sure that Sera/'Jehovah'! doesn't emerge out of the water again and to make sure he casted a barrier that prevents it from emerging out of the electric water. He also concluded that this may be the last time they had fought 'Jehovah' as that was probably the most unique among the 'pieces' since it is capable of immitating someone or something. When he emerged out of the pit however, he sees Nodoka and Yue feeling a little lost since they know they cannot stand against the elegance and some sexiness of Evangeline. "Oh, feeling of defeat huh? Oh well." Flash! He sent out two white feathers of truth to the two,

"Ah." assuring them that Evangeline is just another love candidate for Negi and that they still have chance.

"Ora, ora." Haruna backs that up with a pat on their backs.

Clash! Clash! Back to Hayate, Athena and Sera. "Hiya!" Clash! Hayate and Sera continue their sword duel while Athena stands at the side, thinking of the right spell to fire at Sera. "Hiya!" Clash! Clash! Whoosh! Hayate then unleashes several attacks on Sera which he dodged the last one and he walks up behind him then.

"Hiya!" He lunges forth his seven foot katana towards him then...!

"Ah!" *Megidola* Boom! Athena fired three energy balls towards Sera, creating a smoke screen. Though that may have not been wise however as her slave is also engulfed by the explosion. "Hayate! Huh?"

"Huaa!" Sera suddenly emerged out of the smoke and charged towards her!

"Guh!"

"Daijobou, Chamo-kun?" Negi asked as he brought out Chamo, who has been burned by the eletric water earlier since he has been on Negi's shirt for some time now.

"Ahh~" He said groaningly.

"Gyaah!"

"Hm?" Negi and the others turn to Athena who is being held by the throat by Sera.

"Athena-san!" "Hey!" "Onee-chan!" Sera lunges forth his katana for her forehead which made everyone alarmed as it may meant certain death for the older Tennouso.

"Huuaargh!" Sera draws forth his katana!

"Athena-san!" "Onee-chaan!" "Master!" Negi, Evangeline and Chachamaru exclaimed.

"Huaa!" Strike!

"Ah!" Hayate slammed Sera with his torso, releasing Athena from his grasp and pushing Sera near the edge of the platform. "Guh! Grr!" Both of them try to overpower one another to see who will fall to the eletrified water below.

"Grr! You won't... lay a finger... on any of them!" Hayate said pushing Sera to the edge of the platform. The water below is prepared to engulf anyone who loses.

"Grr. You think you can defeat me? It will take more than THIS to overcome me!" The shadow of Jehovah replaces that of Sera.

"Huh?" "Huh!" Everyone is surprised by this then...

Strike! "Guh!" Sera pushes Hayate away from him, thus saving himself from falling off the platform.

"Grr!" The shadow of Jehovah then produces black mists that gather around Sera then...

"...ahh... power... anger... huaargh..."

"Huh?" Hayate regains his composure then...

"Grooaarr..." Sera is beginning to act like a beast. "Grooaarr... Grooaarr!" Flaash!

"Ah!" Everyone averted their eyes from him due to the bright light that has engulfed him.

"Guh, what's going on?" Konoemon asked.

"I don't know." Leonne said.

"Huh?" Setsuna, Hinagiku and the others turn their attention to Sera.

"Grr... Grooaarr!" The Shadows that they fend off are pulled towards him much to their surprise.

"Wh-What's going on?" Setsuna asked.

"I... I don't know. I think they're... Huh?" Hinagiku said as she realizes that the Shadows are gathering at Sera's position. "What are they-"

Flaash! "Guh!" Everyone averted eyes again then...

"Argh, huh?" Turning his sight back to Sera... Hayate sees that Sera is nowhere on sight and the one that he is seeing right now is...

"Grooaarr!" A gigantic monster with the appearance of the 'Jehovah' pieces with two hands, wings and a head that resembles Sera's head but it's monstrous in appearance. It also carries a gigantic great sword. It's skin texture is red as blood. "Grooaarr!"

"Ge!"

"Gwaah!" "Ah!" Everyone is frightened by it.

"Uwa..." Athena as well as she is near it and that was only the beginning of danger for her as...

"Grooaarr!" The monster, which name is Jehovah-death, turns to her.

"Uh oh." Judas said examining the situation and he concluded that Athena may be the shall we say damsel in distress?

"Gyaah!"

"Grooaarr!" It grabs her!

"Ah!" "Onee-chan!"

"Gyaah!"

"Hey you! You're her slave do something about it!" Evangeline said to Hayate.

"Eh? Uh..."

"Daijobou. I'll help you out." Judas said as he flies down near Hayate.

"Judas-san... Hm. Okay." He turns to Jehovah-death.

"Gyaah!" Athena is about to get eaten by it!

"Grooaarr!" ...And she got so.

"*gasp* *gasp* Ah." The girls gasped at that while Hayate and Negi, and Judas for that matter, know that she is in no danger of getting devoured as they have observed that Jehovah-death has no teeth and that...

"Gwah!" ...Athena appeared on its forehead. She seems to be have lost unconciousness due to that horrifying experience.

"Onee-chan!"

"Grooaarr!" Jehovah-death turns to Hayate.

"That thing is using her as its power source. Which means, all you have to do is rescue her. Of course, you have to inflect some pain on it as well." Judas said.

"Rescue her then? Okay, I can do that."

"Ah, ja, take this as well."*Infinity* Flash! He casted Infinity on him.

"Hm. Arigatou Judas-san."

"Think nothing of it. Ja, let's go!"

"Ah! Hiyaa!" Tap, tap! He charges towards Jehovah-death! And Judas accompanying him, well he's a support for him. He'll be giving assist spells for Hayate as he fight Jehovah-death and rescue Athena. That and he need to be concerned about the well-being of Hayate. Since it is his obligation to watch over him.

"Grooaarr!" Jehovah-death raises forth its greatsword then... "Grooaarr!" Crack! It slams it on the ground, creating craters on it.

"Hiya!" Whoosh! Hayate jumps towards then...!

"H-Hey!" "Are you crazy!" Everyone exclaimed as they both admire the boy for his courage of charging towards that monster and for his foolishness of thinking he can defeat something that big. But they also know that from they have seen of Hayate and Negi, they can almost about beat anything that is made of delusion or someone clinging to it and Jehovah-death is no different so perhaps he knows what's he's doing.

"Hiyaa!" Clash!

"Grooaarr!" Both Hayate and the monster clashed with their swords. Surprisingly, Hayate can match its strength probably due to the Infinity Spell that Judas provided him with.

"Grr!"

"Grooaarr!" Claash...! They broke off then...! "Grooaarr!" The monster lunges forth again then...!

"Hiya!" Clash! They clashed again. Clash! clash!

"Ayasaki-san!" Negi exclaimed.

"Be careful will you!" Haruna exclaimed.

"Take that freak down Hayata-kun!" Risa cheered.

"Yeah!" Izumi as well.

"Go for it Hayata-kun!" Hinagiku said.

"Yeah!" Nagi and Maria joins the cheering.

"Grooaarr!" Jehovah-death seems to be irritated by that.

"Huh. You're all alone. Now it's time for you to drown into the unending light of Truth!" Claash...! Whoosh! Hayate broke off the lock and then jumped upward then...!

"Grooaarr?"

"Hiyaa!" Slash!

"Grooaarr!" He managed to hit on its lips, spilling some blood on it. "Grooaarr!" It then focuses its sword again on Hayate then...

"Hiya!" Slash!

"Grooaarr!" He slashed the lower part of its body.

"Hiya!" Slash!

"Grooaarr!" It's brought down to its knees! Assuming of course if its lower parts of its body can be considered feet as they don't appear to be the body parts of a human. Well, Jehovah is not human so that is to be expected.

"Your time is over delusionary being, now die!" Stab!

"GRROOAARR!" He stabbed it on the abdomen where a glowing part of its body is glowing, signifying that this may be perhaps the most important body parts that it is protecting.

Athena P.O.V

...What should I do...? At this rate, I'm going to die... ...What a waste. That guy who rescued me from a group of humans during my childhoo... I told him that I wish to be reunited with my sister, Evangeline, and he brought me to her then he promised that he'll save me again if I should get in trouble... But... Now he's gone... The last thing that he told me that should he not be able to answer my calling, his younger brother would rescue me in his stead. I got curious about that. I wanted to meet this younger brother of him. I thought I might introduce him to Eva-chan but now... I have found him. ...And his older brother has been murdered by a close friend of his. ...All of it was a waste. I thought that I might meet that person again but now he's dead. And he's younger brother has been left alone in this dark world that we live in. ...Just like we lost our parents to the cruelty of this world. ...All is lost for me. Now I'm going to be devoured by this monster, Jehovah, who was the cause of the extinction of our people. ...I'm going to die along with it. "Sigh... Perhaps this is my retribution for the evil deeds that I have done to humans. Was it wrong for me to extract revenge on them...? That mother and father would not be happy even if I did it...?" ...Yeah, that's probably my retribution. I think I've known in my heart that not all humans are to blame. Those who are to blame are long dead and I extract the same sorrow and suffering that we endured to them. This is my punishment huh? ...What an irony of fate. ...No, fate is not to blame for this. The only one I can blame for my sorrowful fate is me. I'm the one who has unleashed evil on the world. I thought I was ridding it of evil but I ended up doing the exact opposite. And now I'm paying for it. "Sigh... It's over." I can feel my tears rolling out of my eyes. What an irony that I'm the one who will be gone in this world and that I am leaving as the villain who unleashed evil on the world. If only someone would guide me to the light...

Normal P.O.V

And there will. And that is... "Athena-saan!" Crack!

"Huh...?" Athena finds Hayate in front of her. It seems he broke through Jehovah-death's forehead to get her out of her there. "Hayate..."

"Ora, come on." He offers his hand.

Flash! A ball of light then appears behind him. "Ah." It seems she's the only one who can see it. "That's..."

"A-tan. Please stop what you're doing. You do not need to avenge us. Those people have already suffered the same fate that we did. There is no need for you to suffer the pain and sorrow of loosing us. This young man will take care of you for the rest of our lives." A feminine voice said.

"...! Mom...?"

"Hn." Judas smiled at the conversation of Athena and her dead parents who are communicating with her through that ball of light which is actually summoned by him as her parents requested to so that they can guide their daughter to the true path. "You can rest for eternity now."

"Mom...!" She reaches out for the light but it's too far for her so...

"A-tan," It draws nearer to her instead. "Please watch over Eva-chan. You and her are very precious to us. We'll be watching over the two of you. This young man and his friend will be taking care of you for forever. Please be with them."

"Mom..."

Flash! At then the light vanishes and all Athena can saw is Hayate reaching for her. "Ora, come on, Athena-san. I'll take care of you. I promise. Even if it means putting my life into it."

"..." Athena could see a rainbow light behind Hayate, well actually, Judas summons it telling her that it is her destiny to be with the young man. "Hayate..." She accepts his hand then... "Hayate..."

"Daijobou. Everything's okay now."

"...Hayate. Hayate!" She embraced the young man and he embraces her in return. Small ball of lights surrounds the two, making the atmosphere of the two grand and romantic.

"Ah." Everyone smiled at the romantic scenery. Though Hinagiku feels happy for Athena she also feels envious as she also loves Hayate. Nagi and Maria are feeling the same feeling as well.

"Hmph." Flash! Judas yet again send three feathers of truth towards the three.

"Ah." Assuring them that Athena is just another love candidate for Hayate and that they still have a chance. Assuming of course, if Athena does not win first. That and how she looks more beautiful than the rest of them if anyone would agree which can be quite a loss for the three and the rest of the girls like Izumi and Risa, well she's fond of the guy, not love him, but that counts that in a way. The same thing can be said about Evangeline who is feeling happy for her older sister. Negi is feeling the same thing for Hayate.

"Ja, let's go, Athena-san." Hayate said.

"Hm," She said wiping off her tear on her eye. She decided that Hayate has now the permission to call her by the nickname that her parents gave her. "Hayate."

"Hm? Nani?"

"Please call me A-tan."

"Eh? A-tan?"

"Hm. Please."

"Uh... O...kay. A...-tan."

"Hm." She smiles delightened at that. Now it's not just her parents who can her that but someone she loves as well. She considers him as someone she can marry in the future assuming of course if Hayate would agree. That and her personality is quite is demanding.

"Yosh, now it's time to-"

Crutter! ...! The surrounding suddenly shakes. Flash! The surrounding suddenly returns to that of being the temple of the Ancients. "What the...?" Haruna said. They find themselves in a room in the temple that is representing the image of the place they were on earlier.

"Did we...? "Izumi asked.

"Came back?" Yue finished her question.

"Where...?" Nodoka asked referring to Sera and then...

Crutter! ...! At the sides, Sera rises up from the mist that Jehovah-death dissolved to. "Grr... You..." He clunches his fist tightly, spilling his own blood.

"Ah!" Hayate and Athena's romantic moment is interrupted by the uproar. Though they know they have to focus on the insane young man first.

"Grr... You have killed Mother's avatar... Grr... I'm going to make you pay!" Chuuaarrrgeesrrghhtssh! He sent out a terrifying blast of negative energy that shaked the entire room, causing some debris to fall.

"Ah!" "Gyah!" Everyone is pushed away by it but they try to fight it.

"Ge, what's going on!" Leonne asked.

"Guh, I don't know. Konoka!" Konoemon said.

"Gyaah! Wh-What's happening!" Konoka asked.

"Ojou-sama!" Setsuna comes to her aid but...

"You're going to pay. I'm done playing games with all of you. Now I'm going to send you all to the Promised Land!" Ching! He raises his right hand then...

Clingch... clingch...! "Huh?" Clingch! "Ah!" The Jewel of God is sent flying towards him! "The jewel!" Athena exclaimed. Everyone the danger that it represents.

Sera catches the jewel. Now danger is near... "You have hurt Mother. Now, I will take your lives!" Crush! He crushed the jewel with his right palm, splitting it into a lot of pieces then all them dissolve.

"Huh?"

"He... destroyed it?"

"Why did he...?" The trio asked.

"*gasp* No, he...!" Luca said unfinished as...

"HA HA HA!" Crutter! Crutter! The room shakes even more.

"Wh-Whoa!"

"What's going on!"

"I think... he activated it!" Luca said. Everyone else falls to the ground due to the earthquake.

"Wh-What's it doing?" Konoemon asked.

"Ugh... I don't know." Leonne said.

"Uaarrgh... Uaarrgh... UAARRGH!" CRUTTER! The room begins to crumble!

"Waah!" "Whoa!"

"Dammit, we need to get out of here. Everyone, run for it!" Hayate said.

"Yaah!" Everyone runs out of the room.

"Let's go, Evangeline-san! Chachamaru-san!" Negi said to which the two nodded and they run for it.

"Let's go, Athen- I mean, A-tan." Hayate said to which she nodded and they run for it.

"We need to get out of this temple! No, this island!" Judas said.

"What? Why?"

"He activated the jewel. Soon, this island will sink to the bottom of the sea along with all of you if you don't get out."

"Eh! E-Everyone, we need to get out of here now!"

"Wh-Why?" Izumi asked.

"I think this temple- no, this island is about to sink!"

"What!"

"Wh-Why!" Asuna asked.

"Sera activated the jewel, I think that trigger its function. And now this island is the first one to be a victim of whatever it is capable off."

"What! Ja, we need to get out of here!"

"Let's hurry!" Konoka said.

"I know a shortcut, follow me!" Konoemon said. They follow him as he commanded them to.

Back to Sera, "Uuaarrgh!" Crutter! Crutter! Crutter! The debris falls onto the room and onto him, leaving the room unaccessble now with all the cave-ins all over the room. One can only wonder if he's still alive... ...and it is likely that he is considering how he has shown just how capable he is.

"Ruun!" Asuna, Risa, and Haruna said as they run for out for the temple. Konoemon took them to the shortcut as he promised and they're out of the structure.

"Huff! huff. We made it." Asuna said but... Crutter! "Gyah!" The ground shakes.

"This island is about to sink! We have to get out!" Konoemon said.

"Let's take that plane of yours then." Leonne said referring to Nagi's plane.

"Klause is on it. To the plane everyone!" Nagi said.

"Riight!" They all run for it.

"Huh?" Klause spotted them coming through the window. "Quickly boy, you need to hide."

"Mmuu." He told the white tiger. He hides at the luggage storage near a seat. "Mmuummuu." He whines complaining about the lack of space. There are many luggages that were brought by Nagi which are now considered unnecessary since she has now become mature, so it is free to dispose of them.

"I'm sorry, I'll be back later." Klauses closes the storage and everyone boards the plane. "Ojou-sama, wel-"

"Klause, get us out of here!" Nagi said without wasting any time.

"Eh? But-"

"Quickly, this island is about to-" Crutter! "Guh!"

"Wh-What's going on!"

"This island is about to sink! Get us out of here!" Everyone yelled.

"R-Roger! I'll get to it!" He runs up to the cockpit with the white tiger watching from the opening.

"Everyone brace yourselves." Konoemon said hanging on to the handle in the ceiling.

"Mmuu?" The white tiger watches what's going on with curiosity.

"Everyone hang on. This is going to be bumpy." Nagi said.

"You don't have to tell us that. Anyway, let's hurry!" Asuna said.

"Alright, everybody put on your seatbelt and..." Klause has started the engine. "...here we off back to Tokyo!" He hits the accelarator.

Vrooom! Whooosh! The plane takes off abruntly. "Gyaah!" "Whoa!" "Slow down!" Everyone has fallen to ground because of that.

Outside however is not going well... Snuurrchggdrc! The temple shrunk in size then... "Hey, look! The temple's gone!" Asuna said looking out the window. Everyone looks out to her window as well.

"Hey, where did it go? Did that Sera guy-" Haruna asked unfinished as...

Spluunnggerrddrg! "Whoa!" A massive force bursted out of the hole where the temple was once standing then... Whoooorrgghh... A gigantic black energy ball emerged out of it and goes to the sky.

"Huh?"

"What is that?" Izumi asked. They all watch the ball grows bigger as it ascend to the sky. The sky turns black because of that. It looks as if there's a storm coming.

Meanwhile in Tokyo...

"Huh?" Everyone can see the dark ball from here.

"What is that?"

"Some kind of balloon?"

The dark ball continues ascending with dark electric energies are eminating from it. "W-Waah!" A child screamed at the sight of it.

"What the hell is that!"

"A tornado is coming!" It started raining, winds are blewing everywhere and the clouds are so dark that it looks like a typhoon is about to hit the city, which is why a citizen said that a tornado is coming. It's basically the same thing from a typhoon. The dark ball continues ascending as purple thunderbolts strike everywhere.

Back to the group...

"Wh-What's going on?" Nodoka asked frightened.

Shoock! "Ah!" Everyone notices that they are passing by a dangerous zone of which the plane might crash due to the harsh weather.

Klause makes sure that the plane stays on course for Tokyo. Shock! "Guh! This doesn't look good." He said as the white tiger crawls out of his way to the cockpit though Klause didn't acknowledge his presence at the moment since he's focus on getting through the raging storm that is making the plane's destination hard to cross since there's a high chance at the moment that a lightning bolt might strike the plane and force them to land somewhere near an island.

Shock! shock! "The weather looks bad." Konoka said with a worried expression.

"Yeah, I know." Asuna said.

"At this rate, we won't make it to Tokyo." Konoemon said.

"Ah, with all these harsh wind and thunderbolts everywhere, this plane is about to-" Leonne said unfinished as... Shock! ...the right wing of the plane is hit by a lightning bolt. "...crash."

"..." An awkward silence fills the exterior cabin for a while then... "WHAAAT!" The girls screamed.

"W-W-We're gonna crash!" Asuna asked extremely frightened.

"A-A-Are we gonna be okay?" Konoka asked with the same tone and expression.

"The right wing is on fire! Everyone, prepare yourselves for an impact!" Setsuna exclaimed.

"Huh? Do you mean..." Hinagiku said.

"That we emergency land somewhere?" Risa continued her question.

"Out in the middle of the sea?" Izumi asked.

"Daijobou." Athena said.

"Huh?"

"There's a place where we can take refuge. It will shelter us from the storm and the calamity that will hit the city soon."

"Ah, that's the safest location at the moment." Evangeline said.

"Huh? What place are you-" Shake! The plane shakes! "Gyah!"

"W-Waah!" "Ah!"

"H-Hey! Pilot! We need to land somewhere or we're gonna fried if we continue flying!" Haruna said to Klause.

"I'm aware of that! Yosh, I'm gonna land us there on that island! Everyone prepare for an impact!" He said as he prepares to land on small island nearby. "Hold on!"

"Ge..."

"Geez... I never thought it would come to this. Our enjoyable tour has turned into an apocalypse." Haruna said.

"Yeah and all of the photos I took are now all lost due to that stupid trap ealier." Risa said.

"Would you guys stop acting like children for once!" Setsuna scolded them. Most of the others are frightened at the moment so they didn't pay attention to it. Hinagiku is clinging onto Hayate while Athena is on the other side.

"Nevermind about them for now! We got to focus on our survival here!" Hinagiku said.

Whoosh! The plane is about to land on the island! Shock! "Hang on everyone!" Klause said.

"Waaaah!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Don't worry everyone! We'll be fine!" Hayate said.

"Yeah! Everything will be okay." Negi added.

"Judas-san, do something." Hayate whispered.

"Hm. Okay." Judas goes out of the plane. Since he's a spiritual guide, he has no proble of getting out through the wall and that he doesn't mind if the plane crash but since there are other people in, he has to make it his top priority first. He has to make sure that the plane doesn't explode when it lands and he knows just the spell to prevent that. "Truth is always beautiful. It saves people and animals." *Infinity* Flash! He said referring to the white tiger who he has noticed when he went onboard along with the others. The plane is now completely safe from exploding. Now all they have to worry about is their landing. "My part is finished. The rest is up to the pilot." He said going back to the plane.

Whoosh! "Here goes...!" Cruck! Craaash! The plane's tires are broken!

"Gwaaah!" Everyone screamed.

"Dammit..." Hayate said.

"Ahh! We're gonna crash!" Negi exclaimed hanging on to his seat.

"Calm down! Everyone calm down!"

"How are we suppose to calm down in this kind of situation!" Asuna said.

"Tch." Flash! Judas created a barrier on the sides to make sure that the plane doesn't crash into a rock crater or on the forest part of the island. "That should do it."

"Hang on-! Guh!" Cronk! The plane stopped as it hit a tree.

Everyone is safe. "Huh?" They all look at their surrounding and see that they are free from danger at the moment.

"We're safe." Hayate said.

Later... Outside.

Shoock! Shock! The weather is still going on and there are no shelters that can be found on the island. Everyone is drenching from the rain sort the saying as the plane is no longer a safe shelter for them for no one knows if an explosion might occur. That goes without saying that the white tiger has been revealed to everyone. "Geez, you didn't have to hide you know. You're welcome to stay with house back at home." Nagi said to the tiger.

"Mmuu."

"Nevermind about him for now. We need to stay on a shelter or else we all might catch a fever from this storm." Hinagiku said.

"Ah, I can say that I can't stay outdoor for much longer. The air is cold." Setsuna said.

"*cough* *cough* Ah." Luca cought.

"*cough* *cough* Ah." The others as well.

"Hayate." Nagi called out as she is beginning to cough as well.

"Now what should we do?" Hayate asked.

"I check the island thorough." Judas said flying down beside him.

"And?"

"No shelter found." He said shrugging his hands.

"Oh."

"What should we do?" Negi asked.

"Daijobou. We can use this." Athena said bringing out a small glass cylinder.

"Huh? What will that do for us?" Asuna asked dumbstruck.

"Huh. Don't think this is just an ordinary object. Observe." Shatter! Pop!

"...!" To everyone's surprise, when she drop the cylinder a door pops up of the smoke.

"Sa, everyone get in." Athena and Evangeline were the first to enter it. To the girls surprise, the door leads to another place not the other side of it.

"Hn. This one is just like the velvet room. Huh. How unique." Judas said.

"Ha ha." Hayate could only give a laugh. He has done this many times now whenever Judas comments on something. Negi does it sometimes too but Hayate is mostly the one doing it much to Judas's amusement. Though the girls are still not yet aware of his presence. Not that he mind not having the credit for everything he has done to help them, in fact, he prefers to be not to be known as he wish for Hayate and Negi to receive the credits.

Inside the Tennouso's Velvet colored Mansion... That is not somewhere in earth but rather it's in a... nowhere to be exact. No words or logic can distinguish it just like the velvet room where Hayate and Negi are staying for the moment in their time in Japan. This may be similar to Athena and Evangeline in which they are using as their home as they are staying in Japan as well though that is not yet certain.

"Wow!" Everyone exclaimed as they check out the surrounding of the living room. Klause is in shock of how they got here. He was so shock that he fainted. Nagi and Maria thought that is for the best.

"This is great!" Fuka and Fumika exclaimed.

"We should stay here!" Kaede said.

"Yeaah!" Ku fei said as they all play around.

"Hey! Settle down you birdbrains! We're on the home of someone else here!" Ayaka scolds them.

"So this is where you live." Hayate said.

"Ah, it's only our temporary home at the moment." Athena said. Nagi and Maria are carrying Klause, who is unconcious, to the sofa.

"You mean you guys are staying in Japan?" Negi asked.

"Sort to speak. It would be more appropriate to say that we are staying here because we don't have home in the real world." Evangeline said licking the her right palm again to which the two winch. She and her sister have done this before and they could only speculate that it may be because of their characteristic as a vampire. Though Hayate and Negi are not certain of that. Either way, they are now considered safe by the group since they are now their allies. Well, not that they are someone who are to be ordered with but they can considered as 'safe' for them. Hayate and Negi are the only ones who can have a long conversation with them however as they are not those who shall we say have no time for weak minded fools.

"I see. Well, thanks a lot Evangeline-san. Athena-san." Negi said bowing to the two.

"It's nothing. Besides, we would have come here eventually. Since you two are our slaves, this will be your home. Oh, and don't pay much attention to Machina here." Athena said looking at Machina who was carried by Chachamaru when they made their escape in the temple. He's still injured however so he is no in condition to join the conversation.

"I'll take him to his pen." Chachamaru said as she takes Machina to his 'home'.

"Eh? His pen?" Hayate asked.

"Ah. As you have seen earlier, Machina is an animal type of construction that was created in a snake DNA when we were choosing a perfect obedient servant when our people were still in the world. We chose him since he's the most idiotic one and one who follows our orders no matter what. You can say he's our pet. Chachamaru is our maid around here. Siip." Athena said taking a sip of her tea.

"Sou da ne. Siip." Evangeline said taking a sip of her tea as well.

"I see." Hayate and Negi sit on the sofa that is on the opposite of the two. The others are enjoying themselves sort to speak. Some of the things around the rooms have been shattered due to their childishness but they only regenerated much to everyone's surprise. The things here are unique just like in the velvet room. "Uh... What should we do now? Sera activated the jewel... what does exactly do?"

"We don't know." Athena said.

"Or at least at the moment." Evangeline said.

"I know what it does." Judas sits next between Hayate and Negi. "That cursed jewel was created by Jehovah long ago. It turns its keeper, the temple, into a small negative energy at first and then later, that negative energy will absorb more and more negative energies and grow. It will then ascend out of the planet in the outside boundary you call outer space. Afterwards..." Hayate and Negi both pays attention very well in what he is about to say... "...it will then become into a what you people call meteor and will descend back into the planet with the intent of wiping it out."

"...!" Both are shocked by this.

"Y-You mean..." Hayate said.

"Ah. That guy in black thinks he's delivering everyone to the land of happiness by wiping out of all life in the world. Huh. Just goes to show you of how much delusional Jehovah's ideals are. It's madness I know. That's why we must stop him."

"..."

"But... How do we...?" Negi asked.

"Hm? Did you say something?" Evangeline asked overhearing him a little.

"Eh? Uh nothing!"

"Y-Yeah. We were just thinking of a plan on how to get rid of that dark ball we saw earlier."

"Ah... that... We'll discuss that later. For now, we need to rest. Oh, and Hayate." Athena said as she stands up from her seat.

"Hm? Nani?"

"Please come and see one of our maids in the main hall. She'll guide you and your little friend here to our... meeting place."

"...Indeed. Do come or you two might not live for another day." Evangeline warned which cause a sweat drop on the two.

"For now though, rest for a while." Both Tennousos left the living room.

"...?" Which can only wonder what they can have in store for Hayate and Negi.

Later that night...

Negi and Chachamaru are on the balcony watching everyone playing in the bedroom with a lot of bed rows which is enough for everyone. "They sure are having fun huh?" Negi said.

"Ah. ...I envy them."

"Eh? Why is that?"

"Unlike you all, I do not know if I have a soul. I always thought that maybe there is some humanity inside me... or perhaps Ancient. But I am unable to find out even now."

"A soul? ..."

Judas comes out of the bedroom. "Hm?" He has taken notice of the atmosphere Negi and Chachamaru. "Hm. Wonder what's going on." He decided to overhear what they're saying but he decided not to show himself to Negi so he hide under the balcony.

"I think I may be soulless but..."

"You do have a soul."

"Eh?"

"When we fought each other at the temple of the Ancients, you were kind enough to greet us and even told us about Athena-san and Evangeline-san. Unlike that other servant, Machina, as I recall, is rude and that you were not. You even took us to them and asked us to save them." Negi said smiling on the robot maid.

"Th-That's... ...That is because I was instructed to."

"No you were not. You were doing what you thought was right."

"Oh. So that's what's going on." Judas said. "Well, that construction has a soul, no doubt about that. Ancients constructions after all are unique compare to humans." He flies upward where he watches the two with delight. He wondered where Chamo is and then he finds him coming out of Negi's shirt. "Ah, there's the little ermine."

"Ahh... Oi, Aniki. Where- Eh? A're? This is...?"

"It's true Chachamaru-san. You do have a soul. You know it as well deep inside."

"I... but..."

"It's true. I can tell by just looking at you. If you didn't have a soul you would have never been beloved by both Athena-san and Evangeline-san."

"..." The robot maid is speechless. Despite being only a ten year old child, Negi is very mature and understanding. He even beat her when it comes to these kind of things. Tears pour out of her robotic eyes. "Huh?"

"Ch-Chachamaru-san?"

"Ooh! Is this...!" Chamo suddenly gets excited and hide under Negi's shirt.

"Huh. That's Springfield. The suitable candidate to be like Ayasaki." Judas said.

"Chachamaru-san? Daijobou? Did I say something wrong?"

"No... You did not Springfield-san. ...Say, may I request something?"

Eh? Uh sure. What is it?"

"May I call you Negi-san?"

"Eh? Uh... sure. Since we know each other, I guess we can start referring to each other by our first names. Ha ha."

"Ah, I suppose so." The android said, surprisingly, with a blush on her metallic cheek.

"Ooh! Good going Aniki! I've been waiting for a long time when you first met her at the temple back there. Now, for a kiss!" Chamo thought excitedly with steam pouring out of his nose much to Judas's annoyance. He didn't like the ermine's pervertness but he can also be considered a worthy companion for both Hayate and Negi. He concluded that the two of them will be the guide for the two. Just as they have been doing ever since they arrived in Japan. The four of them have frequently work together to get where they are and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives like family. A bond that can never be broken... truly beautiful. The same can be said about the girls who has form romantic bonds to Hayate and Negi. They will look after them for the rest of their lives forever. And nothing will come in the way. A true bonds of friendship and love. Truly beautiful and magnificient. That is the reality of this world and no fog of delusion can alter or change it. That has been the way since the beginning, and that's how it will be for the rest of eternity. That is for certain for these fated children. And two of them have brought each other together and that is Hayate and Negi. Two children that will change the world and show the Truth that has been existing ever since the beginning and with it, the fog of delusion that is plaguing everyone will finally be liften and a new beginning will await everyone. It is now just six more nights before New Year. Perhaps this New Year celebration will be the most important one. It will either be a new beginning or the ultimate end for the world. That fated day will soon arrive and Hayate and Negi must prepare themselves for that finalle. What awaits them in that day is still mystery but for now they can enjoy the moment of joy with everyone. Judas knows this and is delightened by it.

"Hn. What a beautiful destiny these people have." He said. Indeed what a beautiful destiny that Fate has granted them. Especially Hayate and Negi. Two giften children with the power of Truth guiding them towards the true path. Now that is something to be joyful to. Perhaps it is also their destiny to save Sera from the fog that is blocking his true self from emerging and the cause of his insanity that made him turned against his two closest friends six years ago. Nagi Springfield's son Negi and Ikusa's younger brother Hayate might be able to save their friend as Ikusa mentioned. If they cannot then their son and younger brother will finish what they started. That's what Hayate and Negi have vowed to do after witnessing the events that took place six years ago in a country side village at the temple. Now all that is remain for them to do is to stop the meteor that will soon fall onto Earth by the end of the year according to what Judas said earlier. A fateful day awaits them... ...All people are at stake here. They cannot afford to lose. It will be either victory or oblivion.

"Ja, I'll be going now Chachamaru-san." Negi is about to leave but then...

"Ah, Negi-san."

"Hm? Nani?" Chu. "...!" Cling! Again, the device kicks in, charging yet another 50,000 ermine dollar for Chamo who has become very excited of what happened.

"Gyaah!" He exclaimed out loud with steam pouring out his nose but then he remembers his situation and hides back onto Negi's shirt.

"Ch-Chachamaru...san?" Chachamaru already left. "..."

"Lucky boy." Judas commented. He has commented him with the same comment two times now. The first one was when they first met the girls and this is the second. "Oh well. Another bond is always welcome." He said leaving the balcony and one can only wonder where he is heading. Though of course he always comes at the right time when he is needed. And he wouldn't leave Hayate and Negi no matter what their situation is. That it is his promise to both Igor and them and he intends to see it through to the end as he also formed a bond with the two and Chamo too for that matter since he has also been with them since when they first arrived in Tokyo and he can be a trusted companion for the two when it comes to romantic situations. That is if Chamo is not planning something that is perverted that is. Well, as long as he's around, he can be sure that that will not happen to Hayate and Negi. That may be one of the reasons why he should keep an eye out on the ermine for the sake of the two that is. Though he consider this as a normal thing for him to fix or stop too if necessary. Well, that is one of things he can find enjoyment in the world just for his sake of having a purpose. He intends to live like that for the rest of their lives. He is sure that Negi's cousin, Nekane, would appreciate that and maybe especially Anya, Negi's childhood friend since... well... for a lot of reasons. And he also must of course fulfill the purpose he was given of watching over the two and that's all there is to it. He has taken his leave with Negi coming back to the others. The night continues on... As for Hayate and Negi however... They were suppose to meet Athena and Evangeline somewhere in the mansion. They decided to stay awake for a long night... The others were already asleep that time so... That can only means... ...Something private will be 'discuss' by the pairs... A thing that will be made pleasurable for the two... It begins... at... ...Midnight.

Later... At Midnight...

Hayate and Negi are standing on the hall. "Everyone's asleep now. It's time for our meeting time with A-tan and Evangeline-san." Hayate said.

"Ah. I wonder where they are."

"You two must be Hayate-san and Negi-san."

"Eh?" A maid comes in. She seems to be the same as Chachamaru. She has pony tail hair however. "Who... are you?"

"I one of my masters personal maid. I am an older sibling of my younger sibling." She means Chachamaru.

"Uh... Okay. Can you... tell us where they are?" Negi asked.

"The Mistresses? Hm, very well, follow me." The maid takes them to a what seems to be a grand looking bathroom. It's like a royal bathroom actually. There are curtains on the entrance. "The mistresses awaits you inside."

"Eh?" Chachamaru was already there by the entrance. Hayate and Negi find it strange that the meeting place will be taking place in a bathroom unaware of what is stored for them... "This is it?" Hayate asked to which the two maids nod.

"Hm?" Judas comes in wondering what is happenning when he spotted the two going here. He then takes an acknowledgment of the grand looking bathroom. "This is...?" He turns to the two then to the bathroom and again to the two. "...Oh." He gets what is stored for them. "Better not reveal myself." He decided to conceal himself from Hayate and Negi.

"Please come in, they are waiting for you." The maid said.

"Uh... O...Okay. Ja, let's go, Ayasaki-san."

"A-Ah. Let's..." They open the curtains and walk in to find...

Splaash! Splaaash! "Hm?" ...Both Tennousos are on a large bathtub taking a shower and... "Well... If isn't Hayate."

"And boya as well."

"Guh...!" ...Both Hayate and Negi find themselve in both an awkward and embarrassing situation. They find the two sisters naked and they are peeking at them... Though not intentionally. "A-Atan!"

"E-Evangeline-san!" The two of them cover their mouth with their nose half bleeding. This is indeed a very awkward situation for any males. And the two of them are quite the lucky ones to ever experience this kind of... pleasurable experience for males that is. Judas comes in unnoticed by the two and the Tennousos. He has no interest on the Tennousos naked bodies however as he may have perhaps have gotten used to people's naked bodies since he's a spirit and all. He decided to just sit on the stairs without looking at the pairs for he does not wish to ruin this moment. ...A bold and romantic moment for Hayate and Negi that is.

"S-Sorry, we weren't trying to peek or anything... We'll... We'll take our leave now!" Hayate said embarrased while blushing. His face is tomato right now. So is Negi. They never experienced something like this before. Well, Negi has been bathed by his cousin, Nekane, but that was when he was still very young to be aware of males' reaction when seeing females naked. Hayate however is old enough to be aware of his situation. It can be said that he wants to leave the bathroom as fast as he could. "Ja ne!" He and Negi runs for the exit only to... "Eh?" A cell wall has blocked their exit. Judas has noticed it when he comes in but decided not to tell them as it will ruin his concealment. "Wh-What is this!"

"Onee-san! Let us out of here! I think we took the wrong place!" Negi said trying to reach Chachamaru's older sibling sort the least but no respond was heard.

"My my, you two are quite bold to enter in."

"Ah...!" Turning around, Hayate sees Athena without wearing anything. "Gyaah!" He looks away with his eyes covered.

"E-E-Evangeline-san...! You...! Gwaah!" He does the same.

"Hey come on now. Come... Let us enjoy ourselves."

"Ah." Both sisters said as they lick their lips hungrily then...

"Gyaah! A-tan!"

"W-Waahh! E-Evangeline-san!" The two of them find themselves being stripped by the Tennouso sisters then... Whoosh!

"Gyaah!" Splaash! They are thrown into the bathtub. "Guaah!" They emerged only to see.

"We've been waiting for you two. What kept you so long?"

"Yeah, you could have come in earlier." Evangeline said entering the bathtub in a sexy way. Her older sister does the same. Both Hayate and Negi have spilled the water on that they engulfed and their nose is now almost bleeding.

"-A-A-tan, wh-wh-what's the meaning of this!"

"What does it look like?"

"Gyah!" She tuckles him to the side of the tub.

"Ayasaki-san! Gwah!" Evangeline does the same to the ten year old child.

"Hn. Pleasurable and romantic." Judas said. He is not watching the pairs as he no intention to since he knows that Hayate and Negi might get angry at him but that is okay for him even if it happens though he doubts that for someone like the two will be uncapable of being angry to someone they are closed with, no matter what they do. The same can be said to the Tennousos who are doing... pleasurable things to the two of them.

"Guh... A-Atan..." Athena is licking Hayate's left check while she is pressing on him on the right side of the tub.

"Ugh... E-Evangeline-san..." Negi is being tuckled to left side by Evangeline who is licking his right hand. They're doing it very slowly and pleasurable to the two.

"Ah..." Hayate and Negi give a quite moan. They cannot explain through words the experince they just experienced... a pleasurable experience that is. Judas kept his distance from the scenery as he does not wish to interrupt. The night continues then...

One hour later...

The pairs exit the bathroom with Hayate and Negi feeling something they have never experienced before. They received kisses, licks and other pleasure experience tonight. "I had fun. How about you Eva-chan?"

"Hm. It was pleasurable enough."

"Indeed." Judas who is flying above the pairs unnoticed, said.

"How was it Hayate? Negi-kun?" Athena asked.

"...Very unexpected..." They both said to which the two giggles.

"Well then, why don't we talk about the calamity that will happen in the coming days." Athena forms a serious expression. So did Evangeline and Hayate and Negi. The four of them enters a dinning room with a long dinner table. They all sat across the opposite sex with Hayate facing Athena and Negi facing Evangeline. "To begin with, what should be done?"

"A-tan, there is something you should know."

"What is it?"

"That temple... The temple of the Ancients... It will soon fall into the planet and wipe it out completely."

"...What?"

"That jewel was meant to be a destructive force to the world. It first begins by turning the keeper, the temple, into a small negative energy and then by the coming days, it will gather more negative energies and become a meteor. That meteor will then descend onto the planet and wipe it out completely, leading to the extinction of every living being." Hayate recited what Judas told him ealier.

"..." He is watching from above. "That and the world will perish." He said but again he remains unnoticed by the pairs. He didn't mind though since he has no intention of revealing himself. That and for what happened earlier in which he just sat and waited for the pleasurable experience to end. And that he left with a delightened smile not because of what he may have saw but rather, he felt happy for the pairs to become romantically involved with one another just like Hayate and Negi formed romantic bonds on the other girls in the group. That and they have become their true selves. In Athena's and Evangelin's case, he didn't have to guide them through the fog that was blocking their true selves from emerging.

"I see... Ja, what do you propose we do to stop it?"

"That's..." Hayate turns to his best friend who gives him a smile and a nod. He gives back a smile and a nod of his own. "Leave it to us."

"What?" Evangeline asked.

"Only us can stop it. We... ...Please trust us into this. We promise that we'll keep you all safe." Negi said with a serious expression.

"..." The Tennousos are speechless when he and Hayate are like that.

"He's right A-tan. Trust us into this. We'll protect your world with our lives." Hayate said with his flashy smile.

"...Hm." The two Tennousos smile at this. "You two are really impressive you know that?"

"Yeah. You keep surprising us every moment. Well, we'll leave to you then." Evangeline said.

"Ontou?" Negi asked.

"Ah. Just promise this." Athena said as they all stand up. Judas keeps an eye out on them from the chandelier above the table. "Promise us that you'll come back alive." Athena said with an expression that she won't take 'no' for an answer. It's not out of anger however but rather it is a desperate expression that she and her sister do not wish to be alone again where they have no one to come to for comfort. They have already felt that when they lost their parents and they do not wish to feel that way ever again. Evangeline gives the same expression to Negi.

"Hm. We promise." Negi said with his own flashy smile.

"Ah. We'll be back for sure. Right Springfield?"

"Yeah!" The two gives an high five clap on that promise.

Athena and Evangeline felt assured of that. "Ja, we'll be waiting for you. We'll hold a New Year celebration when you return." Athena said.

"Ah. So you two better not ditch us out." Evangeline said.

"Ah! We'll come back just before new year!" Hayate and Negi said. They intend not to break promise.

"Hn. Looks like this is it." Judas said. The final battle is near... A New Year celebration! A fitting close to this finalle where everyone is eager to see! And New Year celebration awaits Hayate and Negi after they deal with Sera and Jehovah! The finalle is almost here! What's going to happen? Find out, in the next chapter!

Note: And that's it. As some of you may know the... pleasurable scene is mirroring the chapter 137 of Negima. The scene where Negi rescues Evangeline from falling into the water is mirroring the scene where Negi rescued Evangeline from falling into the water in Negima and the scene where Hayate rescued Athena from Jehovah-death is mirroring the scene where he rescued her from King Midas and they both embraced each other. Oh, if you must know, Nagi Springfield here is filling Angeal's role in Crisis Core. Ikusa is filling Zack's role. Oh, and if you also haven't notice yet, Leonne, who is an OOC is filling Vincent's role in FF7. And the Velvet mansion is sort of like the Velvet mansion in Hayate no gotoku and Evangeline's resort in Negima. Well, that's it. The next chapter will be the last one. I thank all of those who have read this story of mind and I appreciate the reviews that you sent me. I really really thank you all with the bottom of my heart. It was your reviews that inspired me to finish this even if you didn't bother to send more ha ha. Anyway, I appreciate it if you could send me more reviews. Anyway, I'll be working on the final chapter soon. I hope you enjoy this. Ja ne!
