(Outside Inia, down the Granicus River estuary from Granicus City.)

Negi, finished with his 'Trial of Eva's Scroll,' sits resting with Chisame on a cliffside a short distance from Jack Rakan's home, watching Whaleships come and go from Granicus City, when two REAL ships start passing Inia down in the water.

Chisame stares, pushes her glasses back, stares some more, then turns away. "I am NOT seeing a cruiser out of the East Asia War sailing buy lest than a mile away from me! Nope, No way..."

Negi finally notices. "Wow! How neat! I wonder how it got here?"

The sound of heavily clumping feet signaled the arrival of Jack Rakan. "Hey look! I know that ship!" Seeing Chisame looking away, he pulled off his shirt and walked out where he could get a better view. "Watch this!"

Having been forced to observe more testosterone filled beefcake that any NORMAL fourteen year-old girl should ever have to endure, Chisame did nothing of the sort.

Negi, on the other hand, stood up, fists clenched, expecting Rakan to show him some new ability.

Pulling out his Pactio card, Rackan uttered the activation key, then summoned his Artifact sword and stabbed it into the ground. Next, he began gathering magical energy, then grabbed the handle of the sword once more. "Finishing Strike...!"

Negi looked between Jack Rakan and the ship down in the estuary and began to worry.

Chisame, despite her protestations to the contrary, was now watching with the morbid fascination of someone observing a train wreck about to happen and not having any power to prevent it. Rakan pulled his Artifact sword from the ground and drew it back in the manner of a javelin caster. "...Warship Breaker!" With that, he heaved the blade towards the bay. The weapon flew unerringly out and seemed to strike the ship, especially considering the impressive column of water it raised on impact.

Negi and Chisame both stood with their jaws open. Surprisingly, Chisame recovered first. "Yo... YOU IMBECILE! What did you do that for? You sank that ship!"

Rakan just stood there, fists sitting against his waist.

Chisame heard a distant rumble, like thunder, then suddenly felt herself flying through the air as Negi grabbed her and shundo'd over behind a large stone outcropping. As she tried to get the little brat to let go, since he'd managed somehow to be groping her chest, she suddenly noticed an odd sound like something ripping through the air. There was a ripple of insanely loud explosions, and after she'd managed to get the perverted Professor to let her go, she crawled out from behind the rock to find several large craters along the cliffside where the three of them used to be standing. Of Jack Rakan, there was nothing to be seen.

Praying she'd been freed from having to put up with the greedy geezers perverted tendencies, Chisame was disappointed when she saw a mop of blackened hair and arm appear over the lip of one of the craters.

Jack Rakan pulled himself to his feet, coughed, dusted off his now shredded pants, then looked at Chisame. "Boy that Kat! Her crew shoots straighter every time they come to town!"

Chisame and Negi, now standing beside her, watched as Rakan staggered and fell backwards into the crater, with only his feet left sticking up over the edge.

Negi stood there, looking stunned, until Chisame took him by the shoulder. "That's it! Time to go Professor! No more need to hang around with this idiot!"

Reluctantly, Negi had to admit he'd just seen what seemed to be some kind of greeting, but on a scale that satisfied even HIS idea's of idiocy. Turning to go with Chisame, he left Rakan to recover and went to pack his bags.

tsuzuku. (With a regular chapter!)

Author's Notes:

Ah! The meeting of old friends! Isn't it a wonderful thing?

Since I'm not sure I can have a completed regular chapter soon, I've decided to post a short Omake chapter.
