Sorry leo for the delay, I'll just move things a little faster…
Well enjoy this chapter
Disclaimer: I do not own negima.
"Look up there" Aisaka pointed, being a ghost really help, she just floated and pointed at the castle that is at the top of the roots.
"woah, we fell all the way down there," Satome said, amazed at how deep they fell." And we didn't even fell the castle move."
"That's magic for you," Yue commented sipping on her drink labeled 'hot cola'.
"Okay girls," Chamo said getting everyone's attention, "since were all here, we have to discuss something,"
"Chamo-kun's right" Konoka responded agreeing in the white ermine. "we have to think of a way on how to save Negi-kun!"
"But first," Yue said, "we have to think of a way to revert Negi-sensei back into a human."
"That's what I have to discuss to the rest of the girls Jou-chan" Chamo said smiling at Yue's smart thinking. "I have a plan on how to make Aniki into a human again,"
"Really Chamo-kun?" Konoka asked hope filling her again. "Tell us!"
"Yes, tell us!" the twins asked in unison.
"Tell us right now!" Chisame demanded.
"And be sure to speak up!" Natsume cheered winking at the white ermine.
Chamo gulped as he felt eyes were looking at him, he sighed and spoke making thumbs up.
"I'm taking about probationary contracts!" Chamo said, "Here's the plan Jou-chan, each and every one of the remaining of Aniki's students make a probationary contracts with him, then the fact that they saw magic will be eradicated because they already knew about magic!"
"what really!" Asuna smiled, "that's a great idea, for once this rat has a brilliant idea,"
"hey!" Chamo said offended.
"That's not a very bad idea." Konoka said thinking of the possibilities. "I think Takahata-sensei can answer this for us."
Konoka looked around to look for her former homeroom teacher, she was confused when she didn't find him.
"Hey wait, where's Takahata-sensei?" Konoka asked.
"he's with Jason," Luna responded.
"Well anyways," Ayaka clapped getting the girls attention. "If that's good or not, we don't have any other plans so, let's enter in those contracts!"
"Probationary contracts," the news reporter corrected her class representative. "only totally biased."
"how do we make a contract?" Chao asked out of the blue.
"Tell me," Zazie commented motioning her phone in front of her with the phone ringing slightly.
All of Negi's partner started to blush, Konoka smiled, while Asuna blushed remembering her contract, Nodoka had her face with her hands, her face blushing red. The twins looked at each other embarrassed while Yue just sipped her drink.
"It's easy peasy," haruna said, smiling devilishly. All you have to do is kiss Negi-kun, that's all here, is to it."
"What?" the rest of the girls exclaimed with some of them blushing.
"You know what a kiss is right?" Haruna asked, her grin never fading away.
"Kiss," Ayaka said, eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Yep, kiss! Kiss!" Haruna said, gesturing her lips in a kiss.
"Kiss Negi?" the rest of the girls exclaimed, except Ayaka and Negi's other partners.
"What? Is it something I said?" haruna asked confused, at why the girls acted so weird.
"Not everyone speaks you," Yue commented, sipping on her juice.
"Negi-sensei, kiss" I would be happy to-"Ayaka said dreamingly thinking of her and her teacher having a kiss, then the image of Negi in a chupacabra form made her stop.
"Hey were talking about life and death situations here!" Chamo angrily said after the girls comments about kissing Negi. "You should be helping!"
"I know but-"Makie answered, her face blushing a bit. "it's just that a kiss is Um."
"Yeah, I agree" Satome answered pushing up her glasses in agreement.
"of course no!" the cheerleaders gestured in unison.
"Phone off!" Zazie commented, turning off her phone.
"it's exactly as I imagine," Evangeline smirk, she already knew what the girls are going to do, she closed her eyes and sighed deeply, walking towards the forest in hopes of finding a place to rest.
The rest of the girls separated in three groups as they went into the forest in different directions. Asuna gathered up all of negi's current partners as they went into a huddle; Luna also disappeared, walking towards a nearby lake.
"okay guys, we have to do something," Asuna said, she was desperate in helping Negi, because she knows that Negi is the only person that can get them out of this illusionary world; she closed her eyes as she thought of a way to make the rest of the class make a probationary contract. "We have to think of a way to make them agree on making a pactio."
The rest just nodded in agreement, they separated in three groups as they follow the girls in the forest.
(Asuna, Konoka and Setsuna's side)
"You see, um" Asuna said thinking of something.
They caught up with Ayaka, Ku Fei, Makie and the cheerleaders in a nearby tree resting; Asuna came up to them first saying something but nothing came up; because it's the current situation (or the battle against Evangeline) that made her create a pactio with Negi.
"Its love," Konoka interjected, finishing of Asuna's statement. Asuna blushed madly while Setsuna dropped her gesture at her statement, Ayaka and the others also blushed at Konoka's answer.
"what a bunch of idiot's," Evangeline commented on a brach yawning. It's just a coincidence that Asuna caught up with Ayaka and the others where Evangeline is currently resting on the top of the branch.
(The walking club with Chamo's side)
"You see when I first formed a pactio with sensei, it felt like um-"Fumika said blushing madly.
The walking club caught up with Ako, Akira, Chisame, Natsume and Chizuru in a nearby cave; it seems that the girls are resting, tired from all those running they did. The girls from the walking clubs objective are to make sure that the rest of the girls form a pactio with Negi.
"You can become an adult, when you form a pactio," Fuka said in a rush; she can't think of any other excuse, this statement got the other girls interest.
"That's kinda cool" Natsume said interested.
"I think with the way things are going, I think it's going to be a success," Kaede commented, even her fox eyes showed happiness of things.
"They have to do it, they have to!" Chamo said jumping from the ground waving two white flags.
"can I ask a question?" Chizuru asked, raising her hands. "what part of you actually changed into an adult?"
This question shocked the twins. It felt like tons of bricks falling onto them, Kaede and Chamo silenced not knowing what to answer.
(Yue, Nodoka and Haruna's side)
"it was like walking in a flower field with lot's of daisies in it." Nodoka muttered in front of the girls, explaining something that she only understood.
The library expedition club members met with the rest of the girls sitting in a nearby tree. Which zazie is practicing with her juggling balls starting to practice, while mana is wiping her gun the rest of the girls started to fall asleep on the tree. Nodoka started to tell her story on how she felt when she created a pactio with Negi, but as soon as she started to explain nobody actually understood what she meant. Yue just sighed while Haruna just closed her eyes in defeat.
"I don't think we have a chance with this." Yue said in defeat while watching Nodoka continues on muttering random sentences. "Only a miracle can help us…"
After an hour of resting the three groups of girls met up in an intersection towards the large root; Asuna waved at them as they mobbed around thinking on what to do next.
"So what do we do now?" Natsume asked, wandering about random things.
"Before that," Ayaka said looking at the girls checking if they are complete, she looked at everyone. 'Nobody seems missing' but a picture of the brown-haired wizard came into her mind. "Has anyone seen Luna-san?"
"now that you mention it," Konoka said, pushing her finger on her lips remembering something. "I think she went over there."
Konoka pointed to a nearby opening, the class decided to go to the place where Konoka pointed, in a few moments they reach the lake with ease; it's a very clear lake with blue water, trees nearby making nice breeze and some small fishes jumping from the lake. They searched for the brown-haired girl which until they found her standing in the left side of the lake with her eyes closed chanting something, the girls started to eavesdropped and run to a nearby bush. They watched as Luna took a card from her skirt pocket.
"Ministra Jason," they heard Luna spoke in latin which Evangeline is the only one who understood. They watched as Luna threw the card in front of her.
Luna chanted as the card lit up and transformed in to a screen, they watched as the screen showed a picture of Jason smiling.
"Woah, it's Jason-san" fumika said surprised, her voice almost went to a shout, good thing her twin silenced her up.
"Quiet Fumika-san" Ayaka gestured her finger into a silence.
"Sorry" Fumika apologized.
The class easily silenced as they heard Luna spoke.
"Honey, are you alright?" Luna asked, her voice full of concern as she looked at the form of her Ministra, his face is almost dirty from the bruises and dirt it showed. His clothes caught some dirt and it looked bruised.
"Don't' worry about my Luna," Jason spoke through the screen, the metal gloved boy gestured with a peace sign even though he hold two swords. "I'm fine, but guess what,"
"What?" Luna asked confused.
"it took me at least ten minutes just going up from where we fell down, it's very deep I'll tell you that," Jason said in an annoyed expression.
"I know," Luna smiled at her fiancés antics. "Because from the outside the castle gout carried by some large root thing."
"oh" Jason said surprised, he excused himself as Luna watched Jason sliced something with his sword, Jason came back on the screen smiling, "that's a big surprise"
"I guess that the darkness haven't stopped showing up eh?" Luna asked as she saw Jason sliced another dark ball from behind, she watched as Jason nod his head in agreement, and then she remembered the small teacher of the girls. "Have you found Springfield-san yet?"
This question got the class's attention; they waited patiently as Jason spoke.
"I'm sorry Luna," Jason answered. "I still haven't found him sorry."
"It's okay," Luna comforted her fiancé. "I know your doing your best."
The place quickly became silent before Jason spoke.
"So what now?" Jason asked wondering.
"I guess, I have to go help looking," Luna spoke after thinking for a moment.
"How are you going to get up here?" Jason asked, wondering on his fiancé on how she can come up from his location.
"did you forget that I can fly?," Luna giggled, as. The boy scanned the card a few seconds before nodding in agreement.
"Okay, I have to go now okay," Jason said looking from his right, Luna watched as Jason clutched his twin sword in preparation. "Bye Luna! I Love you!"
"I love you too!" Luna replied waving as the screen reverting back into a card.
The class watched as Luna leaves the lake towards the castle, the class followed the brown-haired girl, walking slowly behind trees; Asuna found Luna staring up the long roots that hang the castle up, they watched as Luna sighed and looked up at the castle.
"Troublesome," Luna sighed as the she focused her magic; a few seconds later that her cape disappeared and being replaced by beautiful red wings; some of the girls awed at her wing.
"wow!" Chamo pointed out amazed.
"mea virga!" Luna said as she raised right hand upward; her staff materializing a few moments and clutching it; she twirled her staff a few times before she flew into the air thanks to her wings.
Realizing things, Asuna quickly came out of the bush and run towards Luna, she called the brown-haired girl as the latter looked down at her curious.
"Luna-san let us come with you!" Asuna pleaded, she watched Luna came down on the ground as her red wings folded as the brown-haired girl become curious at her statement.
"why?" Luna asked looking at her questionably.
"You see…" Asuna said, she was cut of when Ayaka answered coming out of the bush as the rest of the girls followed her.
"it's our fault, why negi-sensei turned into a chupacabra," ayaka answered, asuna looked at her furious but quickly stopped when she saw how the former was serious.
"Are you guys serious?" Luna asked.
The class nodded, Luna sighed; feeling defeated, she looked at the girls as if she is looking for something.
"Does anyone here have any rope?" Luna asked curious.
The class finally reached the gates if the castle with the help of Luna and chachamaru, the girls looked at the front of the two large gates in front of them.
"Let's find Negi-sensei!" Asuna cheered, the girls cheered raising their arms in approval.
Luna giggled while Evangeline just huff a breath in her classmate's antics.
"Let's go!" Luna said as she opened the door and they entered the castle in hopes of finding the boy.
Wondering back at the castle, the girls found themselves in a large throne room, the girls awed at the sight, gold chairs, gold tables, western paintings at the sides, a real masterpiece, on the chair in the farthest side of the room a figure is trapped in a dark ball looking back at the girls.
"There's Negi-sensei!" Konoka pointed.
"That's great ojou-sama!" Setsuna said, as the other girls ran towards their professor, only to stop halfway there.
The darkness in the room started to form in front of the girls; it growed in size as it reached half of the room's size, it grew large arms and legs. The figure looked at the girls with it's red eyes.
"it's a golem!" Luna yelled, wasting no time in casting a spell.
Sagitta Magica, Series Ignis!
Magical fire arrows quickly flew towards the golem, it exploded in contact as smoke quickly blocked the girls view. As the smoke cleared, the golem is unscratched.
"oh, no!" chamo said.
"Get back, now!" Luna yelled, which the girls complied running back towards the door.
"Master, shall we help?" chachamaru asked her Master, after watching her classmates run towards the door.
"No, I want to see this girl in action," Evangeline smirked, "come on girl, show me your true powers."
The golem threw a punch towards at Luna, which the girl quickly jumped out of the way, but she didn't see the other punch towards her way, the girls was hit and was thrown into a nearby wall and fell in the ground.
"Striker-san!" makie yelled, as she saw the girl hit the wall, she sighed in relief when she saw the girl stood up, with bruises in her body.
"That hurts," Luna muttered, looking at the large golem in front of her, she looked at her surrounding and noticed something, smiling she quickly chanted another spell.
Ex Jamno Exsistat Exurens Salamandra Imnicum Involvat Ignel, Captos Flammeus!
Firing a multiple fire arrows at the golem, as it successfully hit the golem it became chains that bind the golem into the ground, the golem tried to move but the chains proven to be able to successfully render its movement.
Luna smiled, then quickly called the power within her.
Last tale, My magic chemistry um Mysteria!
Omne Flammas Purgatus, Domine Extinctonis et Signum Regeratonis!
Flames started to circle the girl as she chant the spell, the golem tried to move seeing powerful magic encircle its opponent.
Flagrantia Rubicans!
Luna fired a large beam of fire towards the golem midsection, it quickly created a very large explosion which surrounded the room.
"Wow!" Asuna awed as she watched the display of magical power from the brown haired girl but the smoke disabled her sight.
"so cool!" fumika cheered.
"yeah!" fuuka agreed.
"That girl has some power," Evangeline commented as she watched from a distance. "But why is she holding back."
Then another explosion got the attention of the girls, followed by a scream, the looked as the brown haired girl body hit the ground with burns in her body.
"What happened?" Nodoka asked, panicking not knowing what happened.
As the smoke cleared they watched as the golems eyes glow a bright shade of violet, its upper body is unscratched but the middle section has a large burn left in it.
"It seems that the golem fired something at Striker-san," Yue concluded, worried for their safety.
"can't we do something?" konoka said, tears starting to form in her eyes, setsuna looked at konoka worried; she quickly drew her blade and aim towards the golem.
"Essence of the Shinmeryuu!" Setsuna attacked. Using some ki in her, she cut through the air creating a cresent-like attack. "Air cutter!"
The attack directly hit the golem's back, a small explosion erupted, but the attacked didn't create any scratch on the golem. Grunting her luck, she quickly withdrawn.
"I'm sorry ojou-sama," setsuna said in defeat.
"it's okay Set-chan," konoka assured looking at her. "You did your best."
Mana pointed her pistol on the golem, as she fire some bullets on the golem but is just bounced off. At this attack, the golem turned around looking at the girls with glaring red eyes. Some of the girls panicked for their safety.
The chains that bind the golem quickly dissolved, as the golem ran towards the girls much slower pace than usual; the class started to run but the small earthquakes created by the golem didn't help as they were rooted on the ground. Some of the girls screamed as they saw the golem a few meters away from them. As the golem's left hand prepared for an attack; few missiles flew from the right hitting the golem, which threw it a few inches from its current position. The class looked from where the missles came from.
"I'm very sorry, but It seems that master got really tired of watching this." Chachamaru bowed. Her right arms transformed into a rocket launcer, smoke coming out of it.
"Oh shut the hell up chachamaru," Evangeline grunted, annoyed.
The golem quickly stood up and looked at its new opponent but it found itself in front of many fire arrows, the attack came from behind seeing the brown haired girl standing up breathing heavily.
"I'm not done yet with you!" Luna shouted as flames encircle her hand.
The class watched as the golem being pushed, front to back at the missiles and magical fire arrows it receives, it didn't take a while as the golem became a pile of rocks being destroyed from taking too much damage.
"Alright!" konoka cheered, her cheering stopped when she looked horribly as the rocks started to move again, this time two golems are formed instead of the original one but it is much smaller than the original. She watched as the first golem erupted blue flames on its body while the other one green flames.
The two golems growled, looking at different opponents it chose. The blue golem ran towards Luna while the green one towards chachamaru.
Forcing some wind mgic, Luna quickly ran towards the wall, as she watch the blue golem is much faster then the original one, she quickly jumped as golem tried to punch her instead hitting the wall.
Sagitta magica, series ignis!"
Firing some magical arrows at the golem's shoulder as it created an explosion. Seeing her chance she used her magic to form a medium fireball in her left hand.
Existas Ignis!
Luna threw the red ball of fire into the smoke; the ball grew in size as it quickly exploded hitting the golem within the smoke.
Luna landed safely on the ground a few meters away from the smoke. Luna looked at the other golem; it seems that the green golem is being bombarded by missiles and it is being pushed back by the attacks, the golems flames starting to lose it's life.
'now is my chance!" Luna thought, she quickly run backwards getting some distance.
Last tale –
As Luna chanted several dark orbs started to appear on the green golem, it quickly flew towards Luna's direction, quickly stopping her chant and focus more on running, she sidestepped dodging a dark orb but she got hit in the back, she fell on the ground wincing in pain.
"oh, no!" konoka gasped seeing the girl fell on the ground. Kaede grunted seeing a fellow girl fell, she went towards Luna ignoring the protest of the twins.
As Kaede formed a familiar sign in front of her, she quickly disappeared, the girls gasped. As Kaede reappeared in front of Luna, Kaede picked up the girl and looked in front of her seeing the blue golem emerge out of the smoke and now running towards them. She quickly used the same sign as she and Luna quickly disappeared; reappearing on the golems shoulder, she jumped backwards carrying Luna's body towards the girls.
As Kaede brought Luna's aching body towards the girls, the smaller girl protested and asked the larger girl to bring her down, Kaede followed and bringing Luna on the ground, the smaller girl quickly stood ignoring the other girls protest of her resting, she quickly put her left hand on her head and closed her eyes.
Refectio!
White wind started to circle Luna's body as the recovery spell quickly affected her, feeling alive again she smile and looked at the taller girl.
"Thanks!" Luna said smiling, she quickly put her hands on her pocket looking for something. She took out a card and gave it to Kaede. "Here, so you can also help."
Kaede looked at the card, on it is a picture of a mirror; a hand mirror to be exact, on the middle of it is a cross. Curiously looking at the card, she looked at Luna questionably.
That is the non-pactio artifact card 'prorogatum imperium speculum ', Luna explained, chamo's eyes widen at the mention of the card.
"Really?" chamo exclaimed; his eyes filled with excitement. "But that card is really expensive,"
"What's that card?" konoka asked now curious.
"That's Good, chamo-san, now explain it to them; I'll distract the golem." Luna said running towards the blue golem but not before mentioning. "don't worry I got plenty of them,"
"That's a non-pactio card that enables the user to activate on of his or her pactio artifact card even without invoking the contract!" chamo said looking at the card from Kaede's shoulder. "but that card is really expensive because if the contractor is somehow captured the contract is useless so that card is always needed and it's my first time seeing this card in person,"
"go ahead Kaede-nee!" Fumika cheered excited. "use it!"
Kaede nodded and put the card in front of her; she remembered what the Jason said in activating his card.
"adeat!" Kaede said as the card glowed temporarily blinding the other girls eyes; when they opened their eyes Kaede is now holding two large kunais.
"jou-chan, that's one of your armor card artifacts." Chamo explained looking at the kunai, he quickly jumped from Kaede to Asuna.
"I'll be going now, de gozaru!" Kaede said as she put on a familiar sign, disappearing in an instant leaving the other girls amazed.
