Fate smirked, in their tired state, they were no match for him, 3 minutes, much less 1 minute. Fading from sight with great speed, he immediately dashed in front of Asuna and kicked her up into the sky before kicking off, Asuna dazed from the attack couldn't do anything to stop the incoming kick that folded her in mid air and sent her rocketing into the planks below.
Asuna out of the way, Fate turned to Negi who was chanting a spell, appearing behind like he did to Asuna, Fate launched the boy with a well placed palm thrust. Negi flew through the air and knocked the staggering Asuna back into the water. Fate stood there for a few more minutes before the both of them exploded out of the water, this time they glanced each other as they charged.
Nodding, Asuna fell back and let Negi take the lead, "Invoke Contract for Negi Springfield for 5 seconds!"
The red haired boy dropped his staff and started throwing wild punches as Fate just avoided them all easily and kicked the teacher backwards, just as Negi flew back, he didn't see a blur dash from underneath the boy and give Fate an uppercut.
The white haired boy staggered back a bit, and Asuna didn't let up her combo, pivoting, she sent a kick with as much strength as she could gather.
Fate shook of the hit like it was nothing "I see… Springfield distracts me and blocks Kagurazaka-san from my line of sight by attacking even when he knows he cannot break through my barrier to allow Kagurazaka-san to hit me from a weird angle, and since magic barriers don't affect her it would be the best choice. but enough is enough, I tire of your games, 'Βασιλισκὲ γαλεώτε μετά κᾦκτὼ ποδῶν καί κακοῖν ὀμμάτοιν τό φῶσ ἐμῇ χειρί καθίασ τῷ κακῷ δέργματι τοξευσάτω! Κακόν ὄμμα πετρῶσεως'"
And launched a grey beam of light in a wide arc, turning everything it touched to stone.
Asuna saw what was coming but Negi who was still dazed from the hit he had received would have no chance of blocking it, gritting her teeth in desperation she jumped in front of Negi, everybody kept saying magic didn't affect her, it was time to test that statement, she hoped her gamble paid off and protected him from the blast.
"Asuna!" Negi screamed as his friend seemed set to be turned into stone, "Nghh, what are you shouting for so loud? I'm right here." She replied in kind before giving him a lopsided grin as her clothes all turned to stone and crumbled into dust.
"Yo-you're alright!"
Fate raised an eyebrow that his spell was completely ineffective, "Tch, you are indeed the biggest threat to our organization, I will have to take you out first,"
Fate pushed off from his position, his speed bolstered by magic and his fist blazing with energy, intent on at taking out Asuna from battle, or at the very least render her immobile.
The Guardian duo could only watch as the fist gradually came nearer, Asuna covered Negi again, hoping to at least protect him from the worst of the damage and they both shut their eyes.
Time slowed.
****Broken Faith****
Minutes earlier
"Tch, there are too many demons, Kuu you alright?" Mana shouted over her shoulders as she took out demons with every shot.
"I-I'm ok de-aru!" she was obviously lying as she received another cut from Tsukuyomi.
Slowly the both of them were boxed in, on one side was Tsukuyomi who was eerily grinning and on the other was a horde of demons.
"Tch….should have charged more than triple."
"Man-mana… I'm scared de-aru." Mana looked over her back at Ku Fei, she had to admit while Ku Fei was a very skilled fighter and had done extremely well, she had never fought outside of official competitions before much less in a situation like this.

Then she sensed something moving towards them at high velocities. A smirk spread across her face, so he wasn't down and out after all.
"Heh, don't be scared. Help is coming."
"Huh?"
"Nothing, just watch the show."
All the summoned onis and Tsukuyomi froze as they finally sensed what Mana had been sensing, something was coming, and it wasn't happy.
A black flash charged out of the tree, the speed at which it was going completely bulldozed tree, boulder or demon alike. Before long it bulldozed though the circle of onis that surrounded Mana and Ku Fei but never stopped, Tsukuyomi watched wide eyed as the demon that had defeated them the first time around finally showed up.
A deep red stain darkened her pale cheeks and her breathing started to get ragged as a lecherous grin appeared. Wasting no time she ran at the demon that apparently wasn't going to slow down.
She thrust her sword and was completely surprised that the demon didn't bother to avoid it, the katana pierced all the way through and it just barrelled into her like nothing happened when she heard a dark guttural voice, "Jamada. Doke." The stabbed demon gripped her arms and threw them both wide into the air, leaving her completely defenceless before he puffed into smoke. Tsukuyomi was absolutely confused, the demon was dispelled? Then suddenly pain blossomed as the smoke blew away to reveal another identical demon which continued to barrel into her, fluidly ignoring the smoke and stabbed two kunai into her knees and destroyed her kneecaps before puffing away as well, revealing another identical one behind already with another two combat knives poised, this time stabbed into her shoulder joints and puffed away like his earlier comrades.
Eyes bleary through tears and pain, Tsukuyomi finally realized what happened, there was more than one demon, and they all ran in sync, hiding all of them from her view other than the one at the front.
Barely capable of standing she watched helplessly as a fourth demon suddenly ducked below her in a crouch, revealing fifth that was already spinning.
Both of them kicked at the same time, one to the chin, and another in her abdomen sending her rocketing into the sky. Through her pain, she absently noted that if she wasn't protected by the magical barriers the two kicks would have separated her head from her body. Those were her last thoughts before everything went black.
Mana watched as the black clad person continued to bulldoze his way right through the demons after dispatching off Tsukuyomi like she had been standing still.
Impressive. Very impressive.
Looking around she noted that the gathered monsters all looked like they were in deep shock as half their numbers were killed off. Not from some big ass hero, but because some bulldozer was just passing by.
Mana smirked before throwing a few hand grenades into the stunned monsters, as fire blossomed behind her she spoke to Ku Fei who was blushing for some reason, "Lets finish off the rest of this failures, I'll treat you to nikuman with the money from this job."
"Really? Yatta de-aru!"
****Broken Faith****
Time slowed.
But nothing happened. When Asuna opened her eyes again to see why she didn't feel any pain, the first thing her eyes saw was a pair of long legs wearing jeans and a pair of black sneakers.
Negi on the other hand watched disbelievingly as a blazing fist was stopped barely an inch from his face. Asuna who was shielding Negi and facing away from Fate, stared up with up with wide eyes into the white mask of Naruto Namikaze.
"Oh? I was under the assumption that you wouldn't be able to make it to our little gathering."
Swivelling his eyes behind the mask as he walked to cover the two on the ground, Naruto took in everything at once, the heavily injured Asuna, Negi, a flying Setsuna that was battling Chigusa's two summons, 'wait flying? And are those wings?', the really big glowing thingy that still had its body half stuck in a rock and the impassive Fate.
Outwardly, Naruto looked calm and collected, but inside it was pretty bad, to get here on time, he had released the Kaimon, the first of the Eight Gates, Hirashin had been out of the question since no one had brought a kunai, and travelling here the long way by Hiraishin would sap whatever chakra he had left anyway.
Hence the Kaimon, and his body was already tearing apart since the energy burst was all used up.
"Heh, I'm hurt Fate, I thought you'd save a seat for me."
Fate didn't reply, the boy seemed to be staring at him with a questioning look, "What are you even doing here? You are already half dead."
He heard two gasps from behind him.
"Oh? You noticed?"
"Yes. Admittedly it took me a while to get used to it, but in our earlier fight, I noticed whenever you used your Asura Style, the split second before your technique hit, your body emitted a strange pulse of energy that increased the power of every hit nearly tenfold. You hid it well, but during our fight I already noticed your body was tearing itself apart in exchange for the extra power. Is that why you named the style ; Asura Ryuu? The self destructive wrathful god?"
Naruto grimly chuckled, "I should have known you were holding back on me."
"Partly, I was also interested in something else."
"Oh? And what is that?"
"Nothing that concerns you at the moment,"
Naruto grinned behind the mask, "Very well, shall we start? I need to get these kids back home in time for their curfew. Oh and kick some giant glowing butt at the same time."
Fate didn't move, instead Naruto saw the first real expression on Fate ever since they met, it was a confused expression, "Start? Start what? Like I said you are already half dead. Judging by the pattern of the energy aura you emitted on the way here, I assume you used a predecessor technique to your Asura Ryuu, one that constantly blasts out power, but damages your body at an even faster rate. Right now, you probably can't even walk straight much less start a fight with me."
Naruto sweat dropped, the boy was sharp, "True, but I made a promise, and I'm not backing down yet."
"Very well… I am reluctant but if it is your death you seek, I will help you achieve it."
They wasted no time and charged, Naruto spun around, using the rifle on his back as a short staff and swung the rifle from a low angle which was blocked by Fate, using the inertia from the block, he reversed the swing, bashing the muzzle end on Fate's head, Fate instinctively leaned back to avoid the incoming rifle but just when the rifle was swinging past his face, Naruto pulled the trigger, firing a shot right in Fate's face.
Fate's eyes widened as he saw the incoming flash from the barrel.
When the smoke cleared they could see a thin line running along Fate's cheek with a grim expression, he had apparently avoided most of the attack.
Fate dabbed the blood slightly, "I see…. You knew you couldn't pierce my barrier so you tried firing at a point blank range. And with such a powerful weapon, the best my barriers could do to deflect the shot was to change the trajectory. It looks like I cannot afford to play around."
He dashed forward at a speed Naruto knew he couldn't follow, spinning the rifle around like a shield he tried to buy some time but a knee bashed into the back of his head, causing him to drop his rifle. Spinning around to face his attacker, he punched blindly, but something gripped his arm and slammed him down on the floor.
"Oh, and let me return the favour," before he knew it, the grip on his arm tightened and a foot stepped on his chest as it was yanked out of its socket.
"Gwaahh!"
Asuna started crying at the obvious pain Naruto was in while Negi flinched away at the sound of Naruto's arm being wrenched out like that.
Fate dropped the limp arm, and walked away from Naruto, "I don't understand you, earlier in the temple you were in obvious pain, I noticed the needles in your shoulder, presumably a form of acupuncture that is helping you suppress the pain from then. You are obviously experienced on the battlefield, so why fight so hard against the inevitable when you know it is futile?"
Naruto charged, his limp arm hanging by his side as he drew a knife from his holster, one handedly exchanging blows with two stone swords, as they fought Naruto spoke, "Keh, where's the fun in life if everything is inevitable eh? Even death didn't take me thousands of years ago, what makes you think I'll stop now?"
Naruto took a knee to the abdomen but gave a slice to Fate's arm in return, "There's no big deal if you achieve something you know you can achieve; the best things worth working for are always those you know you cannot get it, but got it anyway." He glanced at Asuna from the corner of the slit in his mask, something she noticed even through her tears.
Staggering up from a kick to the head, Naruto attacked again, this time one fist against two; he managed to grip one hand, deflect the other with his elbow before slapping all three limbs into Fate's face. Fate stumbled back, before moving forwards again, "Thousands of years ago? I see… thank you for confirming something for me. My earlier questions are answered," he slammed a fist into Naruto's mask, blood leaked out from a crack; "You aren't supposed to be alive are you? You aren't even human. So why are you working so hard to save people you don't know even with one foot already in the grave?"
Taking advantage of the limp hand, Fate began to attack his immobilized right side, causing Naruto to scream again.
Negi clenched his teeth and fired a spell at the white haired boy while Asuna attacked head on, side stepping the charging girl, he backhanded her into Negi before sending whips of water to attack them but a punch from the side from Naruto caused him to stagger and lose concentration from the spell.
He frowned slightly, "I see you still have some spirit in you," grasping the fist that was still planted on his cheek, he twisted, breaking Naruto's wrist.
"Gwahhh!"
Seeing Naruto on all fours, cradling his arms to his chest, Fate spoke, "Give up, you no longer have use of your arms. If you want to save your friend's join me and my master. You aren't human, you owe these people no allegiance. If you help us, I guarantee I will at least save Konoka-san and defeat the Unsealed God for you."
From the sidelines Asuna noticed the blue eyes peeking out from behind his mask. For a moment their eyes connected, and she realized something. She had no fear that he would agree to Fate.
He would always keep his promises.
Turning away from the mismatched eyes of Asuna, he felt something warm fill him up. He knew what he had to do now. Looking up at the blank face that was trying to persuade him to give up as he struggled to get up, Naruto chuckled, an eerie sound with blood rattling under his mask.
"I knew a person like you once, he had the same blank face you did, only more arrogant, and had black hair. He said the same thing, give up. Give up. Give Up. GIVE UP!"
Naruto charged, faster than before, Fate sent out a double layer palm thrust, only for the blonde to skid in between his arms, avoiding the attack entire and directly bashing his head to Fate's

"He couldn't stop me thousands of years ago."
Naruto swung his left arm around Fate's head and pulled it down to smash it on his knee, reminiscent of the time they first fought. Fate staggered back before attacking again, faster this time, stronger, lightning fast punches that fell like rain, a vicious side kick, a claw swipe, a hammer strike from above.
They all missed.
The crippled blonde somehow completely evaded all his attacks.
'Wh-where is he getting his strength? He should be dead by now!'
"He took away my wife, and I still didn't give up."
Stepping in between the attacks again, Naruto braced his left shoulder against Fate's chest and stomped his foot causing a crater to form, using the force and momentum of the stomp to shoulder check the white haired boy causing Fate to fly back from the force and stick his shoulder back into its socket at the same time. He stifled a cry of pain. But his left arm was back in business.
"You can take away my arms, and I'll still kick you to death."
As if to show he was serious, Naruto ran at the white haired boy, evading a punch, one foot stomped on Fate's foot hard enough to create a crater, Fate's eyes widened in shock at the pain. Pining the foot beneath him so that Fate wasn't going anywhere, Naruto slung his one good arm over Fate's shoulder and fired off a multitude of high speed knee bashes, finishing with a reverse kick that nailed Fate straight in the chest and sent them rocketing over a stunned Negi and Asuna.
"You can take my legs, and I'll still bite you to death."
Drawing two combat knives from somewhere, one in his teeth and another in his good hand, he ducked under the furious punch, stabbing the knife in his good arm into Fate's shoulder joint, causing it to go limp while he leapt up from his crouched position, the knife in his mouth slashing Fate from hip to shoulders, desperately suppressing the pain Fate tried to grab the blonde but Naruto slid around him like an eel in water 'Fast!' and stabbed the knife into Fate's other shoulder joint.
'I-impossible, his getting faster, and his at-attacks, my barrier is still working but each of them are strong enough that it doesn't matter, lessened or not they still hurt!'
Fate staggered.
A gentle palm was placed on his chest and felt another behind him.
Fate stared stupidly at the blonde in front of him as the blonde gave him a sad smile and whispered so only Fate could hear him, "Wherever you are, next time we fight, I want to fight the real you, not some stupid puppet."
Naruto's face hardened, "Death couldn't take me, Sasuke couldn't take me, Obito couldn't take me, Kakashi couldn't take me and I'll be damned if I let you and some giant glowing asshole take me. MY NAME IS NAMIKAZE NARUTO, REMEMBER IT SO YOU CAN QUIT TRYING TO MAKE ME GIVE UP BECAUSE I NEVER GIVE UP AND I NEVER BREAK MY PROMISES.
The blonde roared, "ASURA RYUU : TOMON, TAIHO SHOUHOU - OVERLOAD!"
Fate stared in shock as the attack blew through his barriers like wet paper. A palm thrust with the power of five gates behind it exploded into his body with nowhere to go as a similar attack from behind bounced it back in and together they resonated inside the puppet's body, causing it to violently explode from the inside out.
Everyone present watched in awe, especially Negi as the person he called Nii-san fought with everything he had. Broken body, broken arms, nothing stopped him and he just bulldozed through with the weight of his conviction. He didn't notice that the petrifaction of his arm had stopped with the puppet's destruction.
"Not bad… not bad at all…newcomer." A new voice spoke."
Everyone swivelled around to see two newcomers, a tall elegant girl with light green hair and a shorter blonde haired girl dressed in a black skimpy dress with a typical ragged cloak.
"That was sooooo awesome Mister Blondie! He went BOOM, there wasn't even anything left!" Naruto quirked an eyebrow as the small excited doll on the blonde's left shoulder spoke.
He assumed this was the support since Chachamaru was there and she didn't seem to be against them from her peaceful expression.
Then again, he hadn't exactly seen any other expression other than the same one on her face since they met.
He wanted to say something but he stumbled, his legs lost any strength they had left from the split second opening of the Fifth Gate.
As he watched the floor race up to him with his blurry vision something caught him and lowered him onto the floor.
Someone with red hair as she lowered Naruto's head onto her lap and her hair tumbled all around him, obscuring the rest of the world. Tears splashed slowly from her eyes onto his cracked mask. She tried to remove the mask so he could see his eyes properly, but failed as it wouldn't budge, it seemed like only Naruto could remove it.
Giving up she just touched the cracked white porcelain that was dotted with red, "You stupid idiot…."
"Heh…. I sai-said it once before, I'm your stupid idiot," Naruto weakly replied with a lopsided grin although he forgot Asuna couldn't see it under his mask.
"Baka… don't joke about things like that and why didn't you tell anyone you were hurt so badly?"
"Di-didn't make a di-difference. I still had my promise to keep. Wasn't going to st-stop till then.
Setsuna and Konoka landed before both of them rushed towards the fallen Naruto, all three girls surrounded the blond. They had been watching the fight after Setsuna rescued Konoka but Setsuna refused to go down even if her own heart burned to go down and join the fight at Naruto's side because Konoka would have been completely open and helpless to resist any attacks to capture her again.
From the sidelines behind Evangeline, Chachamaru felt a slight ember burn to life where her stomach would have been. She wanted to go to his side and kick the other three away as well but didn't know why.
Cocking her head to the side, a sign of confusion from the gynoid, she started running diagnostics on why her processors suddenly listed the three girls as hostile.
When nothing turned up she gave up, and manually relisted them as friendlies.
Only for them to go right back to the hostile list.
Chachamaru gave up and just left them there with a mental reminder not to accidentally shoot one of them. Ahem. Yes accidentally.
A great creaking sound reminded everyone that the 'glowing giant asshole' as Naruto put it was still around, with an enraged Chigusa on its shoulder.
"Yeah…. So how do we take out big, shiny and smelly with his pet Monkey over there?" Naruto said from his very comfortable position. The three girls around him stifled giggles. Only he would have the balls to call a lesser God smelly.
"Heh, leave that to someone like me, the rest of you are just amateurs, Chachamaru! Get it ready!"
"Understood Master. " Two protrusions unfolded themselves from her back as she pulled a very large canon from somewhere, floating to a good vantage point she readied the canon, "Wind speed vectors optimal, batteries fully charged, barrier shell matrix completely activated and charged, target acquired. I am ready Master."
"FIRE!"
A giant beam lanced out and hit the lesser God in the chest causing it to stagger back a bit as a giant dome of light surrounded it, beams lancing all around wrapped around its arms and torso, stopping it cold, unnoticed by everyone else, Chigusa quickly slipped away, she didn't want to see what happened next. Using the Konoe heiress's power's she had achieved complete control over the lesser God, but the moment Konoka had been taken from her, her control over the God slipped.
Best case scenario, it rampaged across Kyoto again like it did 18 years ago.
Back with Negi's group, Evangeline smirked proudly at what she was about to do, turning back to face Negi, who was still staring at his Nii-san, she snapped him out of his daze, "Negi Springfield, witness what your father wasted 15 years ago, if he had me by his side, we would have been unstoppable."
The vampire slowly started to float as magical energy crackled all around her tiny body and an unseen wind whipped her hair and cloak about.
Down on the ground, on Asuna's lap, no one noticed a blonde eyebrow quirk since everyone was watching the floating Evangeline slowly rise up and an awesome amount of energy that blanketed the area.
When the vampire started channelling her magic, he finally noticed something. An abundant amount of chakra was also flowing into him, glancing at his broken wrist; he gave a slight grimace as he heard a slight crack as his body regenerated.
A sly grin appeared on his face.
Up in the sky's with Chachamaru beside her, Evangeline chanted, "Lic Lac La Lac Lilac, Heed the Contract and Serve Me, Queen of Ice! Come, Unending Darkness, Eternal Glacier!"
A tower of spiralling crystalline ice sprung up around the lesser God with a crashing sound as the barrier fell. Frozen in place the lesser God could do nothing to stop its eventual demise.
"Kukuku, an absolute zero field effect freezing spell, even a giant monster like that cant stop me, the Dark Evangel! I am the Mage Queen, an evil mage without equal! Now die!"
Below on the ground, Asuna sweat dropped, "Neh…. Evangeline is getting a bit carried away isn't she?"
Everyone around her nodded. Even Naruto.
"Bring Death to All That Has Life, Eternal Rest! Cosmic Catastrophe, Shatter!"
The ice tower cracked. Soon the entire thing started shattering with a tinkling roar as fell off the lesser God in swathes.
"Hnn.. even a Kishin falls before my might."
"Master."
"What?"
"It's not dead."
"Eh?"
"In fact its healing."
Evangeline spun around to look at incredulously at the behemoth that was clearly injured but struggling to stand again.
"WHAT! That's not possible! Chachamaru! What happened?"
"According to my database regarding the ceremony and the seal tag that was put on Konoe-san, on the ground, it was supposed to be completely controlled as long as the seal on Konoe-san wasn't taken off. As long as that was there, it would be completely enthralled by Chigusa, a puppet, but unable to take advantage of its power."
Evangeline paled, "The tag was taken off nearly 5 minutes ago, which means the beast is slowly regaining its instincts, meaning it will be capable of using its full power soon?"
"That is correct Mas-" Chachamaru immediately flew at her Master, "Wha?" pulling the vampire out of the way of a very big glowing fist.
"Roooarr!"
Evangeline and Chachamaru quickly landed beside Negi's group, "Hurry take cover! That monster is going to go on a rampage!"
"What!" Everyone shouted.
"No time to explain, basically as long as Konoe-san was under Chigusa's control, that beast would be a puppet absolutely under Chigusa's thrall, but when Sakurazaki-san took off the tag on Konoe-san, that monster slowly reverted and regained its instincts. Instincts that allow it to use the power it couldn't as a puppet!"
As if to punctuate Evangeline's words, the titan opened its gaping maw and everyone could see power gathering inside its jaw before it let everything lose with an apocalyptic beam.
"Guaaah!"
Evangeline fell to the ground, panting. A 10 meter thick wall of ice that was cracked with a gaping hole that nearly penetrated all the way stood before her. Chachamary, fire another barrier bullet, we need time!"
"Very well master, but this time, it will only stop the Dai Oni for 2 minutes."
"Just do it!" Evangeline said before turning to face Negi's group, "Hurry! Before that thing regains more of it powers we need to take it down!"
Negi gaped, if even the Dark Evangel failed, what could he and his students hope to do about that thing? "Bu-but we can't! We're not powerful enough, Asuna and Setsuna are already tir-"
A fist slammed on top of Negi's head stopping his words cold.
"Oi, oi, I saw you battle monsters, that albino prick and the Monkey Lady with everything you got. Each one of you did. And now because a glowing giant banana headed Oni with four arms starts going ape shit you become a coward?"
Negi looked up at his smirking nii-san that was being propped up by Asuna, one hand over her shoulder, "Bu-but what can we do? It's HUGE!"
"Same thing anyone does. Same thing we will always do. We beat that thing down again and again until it can't get up anymore, look behind you, if we leave, there's nothing stopping that thing from rampaging into Kyoto. Into the hotel where everyone is staying, to the temple where Miyazaki-san, pervy reporter and Saotome-san are petrified. You wanna let them down like that?"
Negi went stony. "Let's kick ass."
"Heh, perfect," facing Evangeline he spoke, "Oi, panty flasher blondie, you have a plan?"
Evangeline fumed and ranted about not being a panty flasher, but was completely ignored. Giving a huff when she realized no one was listening to her rant, "Despite having my power's back, it's still limited by the seal; the best I can do at the moment are several consecutive Snowstorms of Darkness even then I still need to catch my breath back after blocking that stupid beam. Everyone will have to pitch in and take it down bit by bit."
Turning back to face the rest of the girls, he gave them a thumbs up, "Let's kick ass."
"Matte! I want to help too." Everyone spun to face the speaker.
Konoka stood with a resolved face, "I can help, I just need one of those Pactio things Asuna and Setsuna has!"
Before the words even registered, Naruto had already tripped Negi before he could run away and restrained him; Chamo was already drawing a magic circle complete with pervy giggling sound effects and a very wide smile.
Both of them grinned and gave each other a thumbs up as Naruto stuck a tied and trussed Negi in the circle for Konoka to kiss.
Negi looked at his nii-san with betrayal in his wide watery eyes, only to get a very cheesy grin in reply.
When Konoka saw his reluctance, she gave him a very wide, very watery puppy dog eyes, and trembling pouting lips, "Negi-sensei doesn't think I'm good enough to kiss?"
Negi did what all men did when faced with that look. He crumpled like a wet sock. Behind her back, Konoka shot Naruto a thumbs up.
She moved closer to Negi's face and gave him a peck on the lips. With a cry of Pactio from the ermine, a glowing card appeared between the two teenagers who had just kissed.
A card appeared with Konoka wearing a Miko outfit and wielding two fans. The title of her Pactio : "Bellatrix Medicans"
Negi moped in the corner, mourning for his lost purity.
"Heh! Look alive people, that stupid thing is breaking out from the barrier, Let's show him that even normal humans can defeat Gods if we try hard enough! CHARGE!"
Play Scandal Baby by SCANDAL
All of them charged forward, glancing at Setsuna, Asuna nodded as she leapt forward in front of Setsuna, with an almighty push, Setsuna launched Asuna at the beast's head, while she spread her wings and flew low, summoning her pactio artefact into her off hand she focused Ki into both blades, "Shinmei Ryuu Ougi : Nihyakuretsu Oukazan!"
Both her arms blurred as she slashed the Kishin's torso again and again, focussing on a single point.
Above her Asuna jumped around the flailing beast as she slapped it around with a Harisen, looking down she frowned when she noticed Setsuna's move, 'I have to get myself a finisher move soon,'
At the shores where Konoka, Negi, Naruto, Chachamaru and Evangeline had remained to provide ranged support, Konoka had summoned her fans, Flabellum Euri and Flabellum Australe, and was impressing everybody who took the time to watch her.
She moved as if she was dancing a variation of the Kyomai, a traditional Kyoto style dance with fans to worship the gods in Shinto shrines, only deadlier as each wave of the Flabellum Euri sent razor sharp winds that sliced anything it passed while the Flabellum Australe alternated between gouts of flame that was enhanced by the razor winds to burn limbs and water that froze into ice along with the wind to spear the beast whenever it was about to hit Asuna or Setsuna.
Chachamaru was beam spamming her giant cannon. Nuff said.
Negi was gathering of all the magic power he had left for a special combo he had thought off while watching Setsuna wield two blades, "Ras Tel Scir Ma Magister, Veniant spiritus aeriales fulgurientes, cum fulgurationi flet tempestas austrina,"
Two giant orbs of lightning and wind encircled both palms as Negi roared ", Jovis Tempestas Fulgurientes Duplexio!" and released his spell, two giant high speed yellow beams, encircled by green violent wind roared forth as they encircled each other in a spiral, this time, unlike the first Negi tried to cast the spell, the spiralling feature of his spells pierced through the lesser God's torso causing it to roar in pain. Leaving a smoking hole for all to see, however it wasn't enough as they could already see the edges of the hole healing.
"Asuna! Get clear!" the red haired girl heard from beneath her as she slapped the beast's head with her Harisen again, jumping clear of the beast she landed a distance away in the shallow waters as Setsuna executed her strongest skill, charging her nodachi with all the Ki she could muster, she manipulated it to form lightning, "Shinmeiryuu Ougi : RaimeiKen!" Stabbing her sword right at the bottom of the lesser God's torso, she pierced deep into the Kishin's torso before running vertically up the God's torso, leaving a smoking and sizzling trail, right as she jumped of the God's head a spiralling beam of yellow and green blasted through the centre of its torso.
Few minutes before
Evangeline stood at the side lines, charging up power as her magical aura started to show again. Glancing to her side where the blonde seemed to be leaning against a tree in meditation she asked, "Oi Blondie, you just going to sit there when you told everyone else to charge?"
"Who said I'm just sitting?"
Just as he said that, a red aura started to surround the blonde, causing Evangeline to falter with her eyes wide open, 'His an akuma? N-no… the aura is too diluted. Half demon maybe. Hehehe, old man you hired an interesting person,'
Naruto hadn't felt this good in a while, possibly because his chakra flow felt smooth. Not obstructed and being sapped from him like it had been for the past few weeks.
It felt... liberating.
Glancing at the roaring Kishin, which was currently being slapped around by a paper fan again, which was completely hilarious, he frowned. Despite the light atmosphere he had instilled in everyone, it wouldn't be easy to take a Kishin, a Lesser God down.
He would know, he fought real Gods before, putting that thing down permanently required nothing less than a Gobiko Imari. Already it was overwhelming Setsuna and Asuna while completely brushing off Konoka's attacks off easily. Negi had nothing left, except for maintaining his three Ministra Magi.
It was getting to a point where it looked like using the last Ace up his sleeve would be inevitable. Hence his meditation, gathering chakra and natural energy to line his insides and vital organs, bulking up their natural resistance before doing what he had in mind.
To his side he could feel as Evangeline was finally ready as she started flying again.
What she did would decide whether or not it became necessary.
"Oi, you, the red haired girl and the Shinmei Ryuu swordswoman, get away from there!"
"Grrr… being ordered around like this just because I don't have some flashy finisher skill," Asuna gnashed her teeth as Setsuna sweat dropped, "It's ok, Asuna-san, let's get out of here, whatever Evangeline is going to do, it's going to be big."
Once they had gotten clear, Evangeline started chanting, "Veniant Spiritus Glaciales Obscurantes! Cum Obscuratione Flet Tempestas Nivalis. Nivis Tempestas Obscurans Duxplexio!"
Frozen spires of ice pierced 2 upper arms of the Lesser God, its roaring gradually grew quieter as it slowly froze over.
This time Evangeline continued chanting again, not letting time for the Kishin to regenerate, "Veniant Spiritus Glaciales Obscurantes! Cum Obscuratione Flet Tempestas Nivalis. Nivis Tempestas Obscurans Duplexio!"
Another double spire of dark purple ice pierced the Lesser God, rooting it to place, each arm pierced by one spire.
Evangeline panted as the Kishin roared, they could see it was working but before anyone could move it thrashed about, waves and wind violently threw Asuna and Setsuna roughly on to the shore and shot another one of its beams out wildly, decimating the ice that stopped it from moving.
It's not enough, we hurt it but it's still coming back!" Setsuna shouted desperately.
The Kishin flung a big rock that threatened to land on Konoka, desperately the Miko outfit wearing girl waved her fans, but the rock was too large to be stopped, she was only saved when Setsuna managed to fly in and pull her out of the way, "Th-thanks Se-chan," a shaken Konoka managed to speak.
Naruto gritted his teeth, desperately hurrying the bulk up process as fast as he dared.
Evangeline was busy dodging the flailing arms, Chachamaru tried to help her master by firing great shots off to try and deflect the arms but her magical battery was running on dry. All too soon Evangeline slipped up and barely had time to do anything as one of its arms had homed in on her, recognizing her as the biggest threat to its continued existence, bracing for impact she was shocked when the biggest fist she had ever seen was stopped by a flaming Ifrit that grabbed the incoming arm, lifted the entire thing up, rock, torso and all and threw it clear to the other side of the lake. Unknown and unseen, the great claymore in the seal on his back cracked slightly.
Everyone did a double take, it wasn't an Ifrit; it was a panting Naruto. His cloak was now blood red as was his mask.
His presence was near awe inspiring but his appearance was demonic.
Wreathed completely in red burning flames that seemed to form an ethereal magatama necklace and two large horns made of fire, his torso, arms and slacks were wrapped in black chains that jingled ominously whenever he moved.
A stab of pain shot up his arm, already the form was hurting him, he had no time.
Shooting forwards, he trailed flames in the air as he moved to land an axe kick on the monster's head, causing it to smash deeper into the ground.
Landing on the Kishin's face, he swung his rifle to the forefront, intending on pushing all his power into the rifle, at the least it would leave a dent before he tried more drastic measures, only to be surprised when words scrolled down in front of his eyes as if on some invisible screen on the inside of the mask.

Sealed Hatred Form Activated
Vindice Deux Mark II Burst Mode Unlocked
His rifle started to blur, the plating moved forward while the handle bulked up until he was left holding a large oblong like rifle that was leaking the same red flames its owner did from flaps at the side.
Naruto grinned, this was interesting.
Looking down, the Kishin hadn't given up yet and a large energy ball was forming, ready for a point blank release in Naruto's face. Shoving the rifle up a nostril, a targeting screen appeared in front of his face. Not that he needed it.
The large square barrel separated into two prongs, leaving the thinner main barrel in between as an orb of energy started to crackling at the end as well.
"I've fought real Gods before, a False God like you should return to the underworld where you belong. Vindice Deux Mk II : Zen Kaihou!"
The Kishin roared in defiance as it released his attack at the same time Naruto did.
Two retro thrusters burst out at the sides of the rifle to brace Naruto from being thrown by the force of his rifle as he tried to blow the Kishin's brains out, while the Kishin's beam grazed his side.
Everyone watched as a blue beams lanced out from the Kishin's mouth, while another beam, one a burning red pierced the beast's head, soon both beams faltered before clashing, forming into a purple dome that destroyed anything in its vicinity.
When the smoke cleared, everyone could see a topless, panting Naruto standing atop a rock that was completely shattered, nothing remained of the Kishin. His left arm and side was completely charred.
Everyone rushed to his side as Negi jumped into his arms for a bear hug. Flinching at the contact, he spoke, "Oi, oi, hurt man here. Don't touch the black parts please. I know I smell very good while roasted but I don't think the skin has grown back yet."
Suddenly they all froze before turning as one to stare at the calm surface of the lake. A silhouette slowly faded out of the water as everyone tensed, prepared for another battle when everybody recognized the silhouette as Fate.
The white haired boy stepped forward and everyone tensed.
"I heard your words Namikaze-san. I won't forget. Even though my superiors wont like this, I look forward to meeting the both you and Negi as well, again."
"Heh, count on it, Shiro Chibi."
Fate mumbled something about stupid blonde before fading back into the water.
Naruto gave everyone a goofy smile, "Yosh! Everyone let's go back for breakfast!" before toppling over backwards in a dead faint.
****Broken Faith****
Everything was black and his body sent slightly stabs of pain to his brain at every movement he made, even if it was just a twitch of the finger.
As he wondered what woke him up from his very comforting sleep where pain didn't exist, the reason made itself known.
"You can't leave Setsuna-san! "
"Nooo~ everyone saw my true form I must leave, otherwise they will turn me into an ermine as well!"
"No! you can't leave, you have to protect Konoka-san in person!"
A shoji door slid open as a figure stepped out , glanced around and sat beside Chachamaru with a groan, "Yare yare, why are you guy's so noisy in the morning?" the figure spoke before accepting a cup of tea from Chachamaru, he sipped it, before looking at the contents of his cup. "Damn, this is good tea, Chachamaru-san, combine that with cute uniform you're wearing, you'd make the perfect wife."
Outwardly no one noticed any difference. The pot in her hand was a completely different story as it started to boil over.
"Naruto-nii san! / sama!" both of them cried out as they dashed over to him, "You're alright! Konoka managed to heal most of your injuries before we reached the shrine but the all the healers in Headquarters said you'd be comatose for at least a week!"
Naruto waved it off like an insignificant fly, "I always heal fast. Anyway whats with the noise? It woke me up,"
Nagi started whining, "Nii-san, Setsuna-san said she had to leave because she showed everybody her true form! But that's not true right?she has to stay and protect Konoka, stay friends with Asuna so we can all go back to Mahora together right?"
Naruto glanced at the fidgeting Setsuna-san, "I see…. I'll go pack up and get ready to leave as well then."
"Eeeeh? You can't!" everyone there minus Evangeline shouted, Chachamaru felt heat rise to her cheeks when she realized she had squeaked a quiet "Eeeh" as well.
"Well… everyone there saw my true form as well right?"
Memories of a flame wreathed Naruto with two great horns and wrapped in ominous chains made everyone shiver unconsciously.
"I mean, I have horns, you get two white beautiful angel wings. You don't change at all, what do I become? A walking barbecue grill. Based on that alone if anyone has to leave, it's me right?" Naruto shrugged, "So if Setsuna leaves, I leave as well."
Setsuna who had been shrinking into herself more and more as Naruto's monologue went on, finally mumbled, "Alright, alright... I understand, I won't leave."
Naruto shot Negi a wink and Negi beamed a smile back at Naruto.
When Negi joined the trio having tea, Setsuna sighed before kneeling beside Naruto and muttered so that Negi couldn't hear, "That's not fair you know, guilt tripping me into staying." before accepting some super hot tea which she gave a weird look before setting it down politely.
Naruto smirked, "It's your own fault, besides, think about Konoka showing you those unfair teary eyes. I saved you the trouble of looking into those."
Setsuna gave a wry smile, "True, I guess I have you to thank for that."
Suddenly the devil herself showed up with Asuna as both of them knocked into Setsuna, who in turn knocked into Naruto, who fell on the very hot cup of tea.
"Se-chan! We got trouble!"
"Setsuuuunaaaa-saaaaan! The paper copies of ourselves in the hotel are going berserk!"
In the background they didn't notice a Naruto rolling on the ground screaming about hot things as Negi poked him with a stick.
****Broken Faith****
Naruto fell onto his futon and stretched comfortably. It had been a while since he had the chance to relax like this, it was a loooong two days. Looking out the window, he noticed it was still early and figured he would take a few hours of nap before joining the rest. Negi and the rest were down in the hall explaining why they had 'performed' a strip show.
Naruto shivered, his own substitute had started stripping beside Negi's as well, and now some of the more lecherous girls in the school had their eyes glued to his butt whenever they walked by and they had gained a couple of Yaoi fangirls. Cue shiver.
He cried anime tears as he wondered why it was so hard for him to have a normal student life.
Soon the blonde rolled into his comforter and drifted off into blissfulness.
Chachamaru walked in, hoping to get to speak quietly with the blonde, she hadn't had the chance to speak in a while due to the trip. When she saw him asleep, a gentle smile spread on her face as she knelt beside his futon.
Watching his chest steadily rise and fall for a while, she made sure that he was truly asleep before stretching out her hand to satisfy her curiosity about his whisker marks.
****Broken Faith****
Evangeline walked around, looking for Chachamaru, she would let the rest sleep for a while before 'persuading' everyone to go out with her. They deserved the rest after all.
Frowning that she couldn't find her servant, she finally gave up and engaged her senses looking for Chachamaru's signature. Her eyebrows nearly reached her hairline when she realized exactly where her servant was. Stomping up the stairs furiously she barged into her male classmate's room to see a head of blonde hair and green hair wrapped up together in the futon.
A furious blush spreading across her pale skin, she ran at the futon, intent on killing the blonde.
****Broken Faith****
Yukihiro Ayaka wandered around the hotel, looking for Kazumi, she was supposed to pass a message to the reporter from Shizuna-sensei. When she reached the floor where the teachers stayed, the blonde blushed slightly as memories of a stripping Negi flashed across her mind.
As she was goofily walking about with a large smile she heard a thumping sound from inside Negi-sensei's quarters. Curious, she peeked in, only to realize the thumping came from her blonde male counterpart's room. Now very curious she slid the shoji open slightly to peek in.
Immediately a fire red stain grew on her cheeks as her eyes filled with righteous anger, inside the room, a head of blonde hair, obviously Naruto was writhing about inside the Futon with what looked like Chachamaru and Evangeline. How could he! They were only 15! Intent on running in and chastising them, she violently pulled back the blankets.
Her last thoughts were, 'Not again!'
****Broken Faith****
Konoka climbed the stairs, wondering if Naruto was free, she wanted to ask if he had more information about Pactios seeing as his could somehow change shape, opening the door, Konoka called out to see if she could find the missing blonde, an answering thump answered her, assuming it was Naruto letting her in, she stepped in and politely closed the door. Moving to the shoji, she opened it and her eyes went wide. Naruto was in bed with 3 girls! Blushing furiously she was about to run out of the apartment before a muffled scream reached her ears. Turning around she realized all the girls were gagged.
Did the blonde have some sort of fetish?
Curious, she moved closer to see what was going on.
Why were all the girls shaking their heads so violently for?
****Broken Faith****
Asuna and Setsuna were talking about going out for a late breakfast, wanting to invite Negi and Naruto, they both headed for the teacher's rooms.
Opening the door to the apartments, Setsuna and Asuna stepped in, "Negi! Naruto, you in here?"
An answering thump came from Naruto's room.
As both of them walked over, Asuna slid open the Shoji to see something that really pissed both her and Setsuna-san off. Naruto was in bed with a lot of girls, including Ayaka of all people!
Setsuna was seeing red over something else, Konoka was in bed with Naruto, her purity was tarnished! She had to kill the blonde now. She didn't have that many friends. Oh well.
They both ran at the futon, intent on beating something up.
Preferably something male.
****Broken Faith****
Negi meandered about the hotel, a frown on his face. Asuna, Setsuna, Konoka, and Naruto were all missing. Heck, even Ayaka hadn't come around for her daily dose of cuddling Negi.
Giving up, he decided to take a nap, they knew where his room was, they could find him if anything was up.
Once he reached the room, he heard some commotion from inside Naruto's room. Had they all been in his room the whole time? And if so what were they doing in there?
When he opened the shoji, his mind shut down at the over 18 scene.
"Bugya?"
"Mmmmphh!"
"Mugyah?"
"Mmhmmphmph!"
"Hawawa?"
All the girl's sweat dropped at the vacant expression on their homeroom teacher's face. Asuna looked at Setsuna and they both cried anime tears.
Negi wandered closer in a daze as they all panicked and tried to tell him not to.
They failed.

3 hours later
Chao walked in wanting to report that some of her group was missing and came to standstill, her eyes bugging out of her head at the scene. Naruto, Evangeline, Chachamaru, Asuna, Setsuna, Konoka, Negi, Akira, Mana, Yuuna, Ku Fei, Ayaka, Kazumi and Chizuru were somehow all rolled up in one futon, all of them neatly hogtied and gagged in a row except for Naruto who was still snoring peacefully and nuzzling Chachamaru's nape since she happened to be the one closest at the time. Evangeline's fingers were even tied so that she couldn't even point at him for a desperate spell.
Chao face palmed.
"Do you all want to get out?"
All of them nodded vigourously. Chachamaru nearly didn't.
Chao face palmed again before quietly walking over, much to all of the girl's panic, but she wasn't attacked for some reason. Gently walking around to Naruto's left side, she tapped his left elbow in a coordinated sequence.
Naruto immediately snapped awake and sat up, blearily looking around at the sudden wake up call. all the girl's stared incredulously, they had to tap a sequence on his left elbow to get him to wake up?
"Ch-chao-san? Wh-yawn-what do you need?"
Chao face palmed again and pointed down.
Naruto followed her finger and stared dumbfoundedly at the 13 people in his bed that were staring back at him.
"I didn't know all of you liked bondage. I thought it was just that blonde one." He mumbled in a dazed tone. Wait Negi? Aren't you supposed to be the one that ties, not the one being tied?"
Chao barely stopped herself from banging her head on the nearest wall. Naruto jiji wasn't very smart when he just woke up.
She tried to gently explain exactly why they were in his bed, that he tied them up, not that they liked bondage.
Naruto just gave her a vacant look, "Oh, ok."
****Broken Faith****
Naruto was kneeling in a dogeza in front of 13 people, "Gomen! It's just a reflex I have! It wasn't on purpose. Honest!" He sheepishly tried to explain.
None of them could look at him in the eye, "Um.. yeah ok err… we err..We have to take err... take class photos! Yes that's it! See you Naruto!" Ayaka said before all of them simultaneously agreed and stampeded out of his room.
Naruto looked at Negi, "You believe me right, Negi? Negi? Why are you poking your fingers like that?"
Negi averted his face with a blush and poked his fingers together like a certain Hyuuga, "Um…uh, I believe you nii san, but uh… don't do it again alright?"
Naruto looked at him weirdly, "O…k?"
When Negi left, he could swear he heard a small "Kyaa~" from the red head.

Author's Note
In my fic, some Pactio Artifacts have two stages, well for certain people. And yes I already planned out a lot of the people's Pactios, although I don't mind recommendations for new or existing Pactios.
Naruto is slightly special in that, when he goes into his Sealed Hatred form it unlocks a special form, the Burst Mode, basically a more powerful form of the second stage.
His first stage of the Vindice Deux resembles a large Barrete M82A1 (XM107) with a longer than normal barrel.
His second stage will be posted on my profile, essentially it looks like a portable Rail gun.
As for a weaker-than-normal Evangeline, despite her insane power, I don't think I've ever seen her cast two High Ancient spells in a row. Not to mention, she isn't fully released, probably about 60% only. Cosmic Catastrophe is a two part spell, not two separate ones. In fact in the manga, she's like Negi's last resort tactical nuke with horrible recharge time. She doesn't really play any other role other than mentor.
Oh btw, this is the last of my prewritten chapters, 5 chapters in 4 days, not bad eh? For now anyway, I got a batch for the festival written already, gehehehe… And this will likely not be updated for awhile since I want Amethyst Love to catch up. Although…. If I get more reviews I might change my mind =p

Dont get so hyped about the little part at the end with Negi. I in no way support Yaoi, and it was just meant to be a joke and jab against Early Canon Negi that was still rather flaky at this point in time. I in no way support Yaoi, and that andti Yaoi filter STILL isnt here yet.
