In one of the darkest corners of the world a hooded figure stood. Looking down at a mirror it smiled as it sang one of the oldest prophecies about armageddon.
"Two brothers they shall be
One will be bound, the other be free
Two brothers, they will fight
One for day, the other for night
But bound by blood a third shall appear
Making them learn about something called fear
And so wings of white will fall through the night
And so wings of red will rise and take flight
Two brothers they shall be
One will be bound, the other be free
Two brothers, they will fight
One for day, the other for night
But when the darkness covers all
Those Three siblings they will fall"
As Nicolas finished explaining the how and why of his brothers new found power, Negi felt a pinching to his chest… his father was alive… at least he was 5 years ago. This felling however didn't last long as it changed to anger… his father was alive and this close to him… then why did he never contact him…
"So yeah! Basically that's what happened to me" Jessi said, cutting Nicolas in mid-sentence" but why are you making such a big deal out of the fact that my brother as his old powers back?" and he turned to Nicolas adding" you're welcome by the way"
The dean looked surprised at this question "wait you don't know about the mages who got corrupted by their power? ... Even those who resisted admitted to having almost given in to temptation. We then decided that if any other mage was found with this power it needed to be stripped before they caused problems"
"People got corrupted by their powers? We don't know anything about that… well come to think of it we were the only two affected by the tree in Canada and we were taken under Nagi's wing so we wouldn't know about it… but we never fell to temptation… event my brother! He only lost control of Magia Erebea. That's the only reason he fell" Nicolas stated matter-of-factly.
Jessi didn't flinch at the mention of his fall. Ever since he practically became a demon he found that terms such as fall, loss of control and corruption did not bother at all.
"You guys don't need to worry about it anyway since I was the one to give him back his power…" The newly appointed lord of hell added
Takamichi, instantly interested, asked "How? How is that even possible?"
At that moment both brothers shifted uncomfortably and looked at each other
"Yeah… this when it'll start sounding bad again… so you tell them Nic" Jessi said
"Um… well you know how demons are able to grant wishes right? Well now imagine what powerful wishes my brother can fulfill being the king of hell and all…" Nicolas took a break as Negi slowly started to grow pale, as he was piecing the puzzle back together "Now the only problem is that the execute wishes…especially big ones like getting this amount of power back… Demons need a very specific reagent… so I kinda gave him my soul…"
Silence… no reactions, no screams, no threats, nothing… just dreadful silence as everyone took in the information. The one to break this massive amount of not-sound was Evangeline; the vampire was standing near a tree, making herself discreet up until now.
"Even if he did give you his soul… a spell requiring this amount of power can't last forever. How long does he have?" the vampire's question was cold but everyone feared the answer.
Jessi lowered his head "One year"
"But if we accomplish what we came here to do we won't need to worry about that!" Nicolas added, before anyone could start screaming at his brother
"And what might that be?" Negi asked, his mind already racing to save his cousin.
"First of all, we need to train you to be at the very least… oh I'd say a good 100 times stronger than you are right now, in order to do that we need to free Evangeline from her curse." Jessi said
"Then, we need to make your ill-prepared group of kids into a deadly fighting squad capable of, at the very least, take down one of us, if not both of us,… easily" Nicolas added
"We'll also need to find Nagi, because we WILL need his help" The new demon continued
"And finally since we don't have time to do this all in one year we will need something like Eva's globe, to train longer in a shorter period of time… however the amount energy we will be handling is much too great for you little retreat so we'll need HER help…" Nicolas finished
"Um, who might HER be?" Negi asked, wondering what other powerful being could do things those two couldn't.
"Oh you'll meet her soon enough…" Jessi answered with a devilish grin
The dean stepped in "May I ask what reason we could possibly have for letting you do all of this?"
Jessi lost his temper and barked back at him "Because I thought we'd already established I can pop all of you like so" he snapped his fingers and a bird flying by exploded into a shower of blood " Oh and also because you might be interested in … um saving your asses!"
Takahata stood forward "Beg your pardon?"
Nicolas sighed "We are not afraid of me dying in twelve months because in eleven moths 2 weeks 3 days 5 hours and …" he looked at his watch "22, 21, 20… seconds the end of everything starts…"
Evangeline gave a startled look "the end of everything? What do you mean?"
The two twins looked at each other then at the group and, with a perfect synchronicity that can only be achieved by twins, said "Armageddon"
