Chapter 9: Sora Vs The Nek-Jin! Secrete Exposed, And Escape From The Library!
The white man-cat thing had chased Asahi and Sora through the roots and rocky trine of the Deeper Library. Just as they seemed to escape the monster it appeared out of nowhere and knocked Sora away. Asahi was dropped to the ground and began to fear for her life. The monster smirked at the teen he sent flying only to scowl as he returned to his feet. Though Sora was fine the situation still seemed grim. That was until Asuna and Negi showed up and took the monster by surprise. Asuna lead Asahi away from the beast wail they still could. Asahi breathed a sigh of relief until she looked behind them.
"Hey Wait Where Is That Baka!" Asahi asked as she noticed the only Negi followed them. "Shit! The Cat-Thing Must Have Got Him!" She slipped from Asuna's hand and ran back to find Sora.
"Wait Asahi-San!" Negi called. "Asuna-San Quick Stop Her!"
"Why would they want to stop me?" Asahi asked herself as she ran top speed. "That guy's a pervert and a complete baka but I don't want him to get killed! Don't they!" She turned the corner to see Sora standing there as the monster charged.
Just as she was about the shout to him. Sora sucker punched the monster with enough force to send it flying away. Asahi stopped and held in her shout as she saw Sora leap after it. In his hand was a glowing light and from it came what looked like a giant key of some kind. Asahi's eyes grew wider as she watched Sora whacked the monster to the ground with this key. Then on top of that fire spewed from it!
"Holy Shit! Another Mage!" The monster shouted as he escaped from the ensuing flames.
"Mage..." Asahi asked herself in disbelief of what she just heard. "L-like in a videogame or manga..."
"What the hell kind of Magic was that!" The monster growled.
"Antiquus Veneficus, from what I've been told..." Sora said. "I couldn't use my magic before because my friend is a mundane."
"What you think you can beat me 'cause that chicks' gone." The monster said.
"Now that we can both use magic I don't have to hold back!" Sora shouted.
"Eh!" Asahi exclaimed as she fell back on her butt. She had a shocked look on her face as Sora turned and noticed her laying on the ground.
"HUH! AH! KOIKAWA-SAN!" He exclaimed as his faced matched hers. Soon Negi and Asuna ran up behind her.
"W-what the hell was that!" Asahi exclaimed. "That giant key came out of nowhere! And then flames burst from it! And d-did...did he just say...MAGIC!" Her head was spinning.
"Ahh Shit!" Sora, Negi and Asuna thought.
"Ha, Ha, Ha! So Much For Keeping It A Secrete!" The Monster laughed. He darted to Sora. "Well now that the cat's out of the bag why don't we give them a good show...?" the monster said as he punched Sora away. Sora was sent flying this time to a root and then fell to the ground.
"Cough! Damn it I let my guard down!" Sora thought as he got to his feet.
"Hey there little mage..." He called to Negi. " Do you plan to join the fight or let your friend get pummeled?"
"Sensei is a mage to...!" Asahi said.
"AHH! Sora -Kun This Is Bad! Can You Erase Memories With Your Magic!" Negi yelled.
"Who Do I Look Like Namine!" Sora shouted. "You Do It Later When Your Magic Comes Back!"
"Like Hell Either Of You Are Gonna Try That Shit Asahi Would Just End Up Stripped!" Asuna yelled.
"WHAT! THEY'RE GOING TO STRIP ME!" Asahi yelled.
"NO WHERE NOT!" Negi shouted.
"Obruo Osus Nix..." The beast said. As his right hand began to glow. "Niveus Venti Amovi Abdo Omnis Vita! Crystallizatio Noctis!(Snowy Winds Steal Away All Life! Frozen Night!)" A large blast of snow flew towards Negi and the girls. From the center formed large points that took the shape of swords. The swords froze into ice and were about to pierce them.
"Ahh!" Asuna shouted. "GUYS MOVE IT!"
Suddenly Sora leaped in front of them. He raised the Keyblade to the front of the blast and cast another Fira spell.
"Hey! Move It!" He called. Asuna carried Asahi away with Negi following close behind. Sora leapt from the spot before the spell could continue. Sora looked at the Doppelganger of Kimahri with some cold eyes. "Hey You Asshole None Of Them Can Fight You! I'll Be Your Opponent!" Sora said as he pointed the Keyblade at him. "Hey you guys OK!" Sora called out.
"We're All Fine Sora-Kun! Asahi-San Is OK To!" Negi answered.
"That's Great! Just Stay Out Of Site For A Little Bit! I'll Finnish This Up In No Time!" Sora told them.
"You Really Think You Can Beat Me Punk!" The Kimahri asked. "I Can See From Here That Your Struggling To Stand!" Sora twitched at that comment. Unleashing two second level fire spells was really taking it's effects on him. "I've come across that magic in my studies...I don't know how it is you could perform such advanced techniques, but it must be putting a heavy strain on your body kid!"
"I've had to deal with worse things..." Sora said. "But you got a point it would be tiresome throwing spell after spell at you...So I'll just have to rely on my sword skills, how's that? It's more my forte any way..."
The Speedy doppelganger had already appeared behind Sora as he teased the Nek-Jin(Cat-human). His claw came dangerously close to Sora's face until it was grabbed by Sora's left hand. With his right Sora then slammed the base of the Kingdom Key into his opponent's stomach. The Nek-Jin backed off and took a few steps back. Sora took a swing and that was caught by the Nek-Jin's left hand. To which he used to pull Sora close for a punch from his right hand. Sora dodged and attempted to take one more shot at the Nek-Jin. Spinning around and forcing the release of his weapon Sora added a attack to the final spin.
"Amatsutou-Ryu, Raundo Bureiku!(Round Break!)" Sora said as he made a wide swing slashing his enemy's chest.
"Damn You!" The Nek-Jin shouted. "Tenkaken-Ryu!(Snow-Fist Style!) Kankiyari(Frost spear)!" He shouted as he shaped his fingers together like his arm was a spear. The side of his left pinky and ring finger cut into Sora's left cheek.
"Whoa! I was lucky to doge that! So your a martial artist as well as a mage, eh Kitty?" Sora teased as he backed off. The Nek-Jin leapt towards him and raised his right hand.
"Hitsume(Ice-claw)!" He shouted as he brought down his out stretched claw. Sora dodged and witnessed his attack make nearly meter deep holes into the ground.
"Whoa...That is cool." Sora said as he landed in a stance. "Amatsutou-Ryu! Suraido Dasshu(Slid Dash)!" Sora said as he instantly appeared and blasted the Nek-Jin back with his attack. His opponent's blood fell to the floor, but he continued to stand.
"I see...your no novice with a sword or magic..." He said. "Then forgive me for taking you so lightly..." His left hand began to glow darkly. "I shall use my master's techniques...For I Shall Not Let You Or Your Friends Bring Harm To This Grand Structure!..."
"Bring harm...?"Sora repeated.
"Obruo Osus Nix..." He chanted. "Adigo De Astri Porto Congenuclatum! Fregi Coleus!(Forces Of Stars Bring this One To His Knees! Crushing Heavens!)"
Sora meet his eye as he finished his spell. All of a sudden Soon Sora couldn't move and he fell to his left knee. Then his right. Sora then found himself forced to the ground. His eyes glanced above. A swirling black sphere was formed above him. It kept him pressed with tremendous force.
"G-gravity Magic!" Sora exclaimed.
"Then your familiar with it..." the Nek-Jin said. "My master specializes in these techniques...Of all the spells I know this is without a doubt my strongest..." Sora glared at him as he gritted his teeth from the pain. "You'll soon feel your bones begin to crush from the forces pressing down on your body...Then you'll feel the organs and the rest of your body being spattered...When this spell is finished there won't even be a skid mark of you on the ground."
"Damn It!" Sora thought as he began to spit out blood. Every seconded the passed the greater the force was pressed on top of him. "Gotta Stay Calm..." He told him self. "Calm..." He repeated over and over. "...calm..."
"What's this...he dead...?" The Nek-Jin asked looking at the peaceful expression on Sora's face. Sora pulled him self to his hands and knees. "What the Hell! That's imposable!" Sora was now on his right knee, and struggled to lift himself.
"AHHHHHHH!" He screamed. The force that had been suppressing Sora to the ground had shattered and spread around the area.
"WHAT The-!" The Nek-Jin exclaimed as he felt his gut get slammed by Sora's Keyblade in the blink of an eye.
"Amatsutou-Ryu..." Sora said. "Sutoraiku Reido!(Strike Raid!)" As the Keyblade came whirling back to were he stood. Sora let the Keyblade disappear into light. His opponent fell to the ground. " It's unfortunate for you...that the guy's who taught me how to use magic, also taught me how to counter it. I will hand to you though...Gravity is probably the hardest of those basic spells to counter. Hard for somebody to stay completely calm when they're being smashed into a puddle..." Sora told him as he placed his hand on his neck and poped the bones inside.
"You...are strong..." He said.
"Hey wait...what did you mean earlier...about us causing harm..." Sora asked as he moved to the now unconscious Nek-Jin. "Well fine...Fall asleep and shut up when I actually want to have you talk to me..." Sora complained. He could feel his bones pop and grind and spat out more blood. He then re-summoned the Keyblade and cast a Curaga spell upon himself. Sora looked back at the Nek-Jin, and thought of what he had said before he had used the gravity spell. "Ahh...What the hell..." Sora pointed the Keyblade to the Nek-Jin. "Regan..." he said before taking a seat on a nearby root. He sat quietly as the Nek-Jin awoke. "Good your awake now..."
"I'm alive...Why- Argh!" He exclaimed as he tried to get himself up.
"The spell I used on is healing your body...but only little by little, so you won't be going any where for a little while..." Sora told him.
"I see..." The Nek-Jin said.
"Hey I got a question, What did you mean by us coming here to do harm?" Sora asked.
"I was informed from the old man that you were thieves and criminals whom had come to steal the treasures of the Deeper Library." He told him. "I've watched you since you all appeared here in the Deeper Library...since none of you had been doing anything suspicious I have only observed you..." he said. "...and the ladies...especially in the bath...and especially the busty one, and that red haired friend of yours from before..." He added with a pink face.
"Koikawa-san was right you are a perv..." Sora said.
"Please like you haven't been tempted...your a man aren't you...!" He asked.
"That Doesn't Matter! I Don't Go Around Peeping On Them!" Sora exclaimed. "I wouldn't want them thinking I was peeping, especially considering what Asuna-san and Koikawa-san would do to me..."
"No balls..." He remarked.
"Ass!" Sora exclaimed. "Lesion where not here to steal stuff any way. Where all students here...Could you tell the girls have all been wearing uniforms!"
"I've never been around the surface much except for once a year and during said times the students don't really wear there uniforms...Besides I'm not interested in there cloths, but in what's under them..." He told him. "Bastard old codger must have been pulling my fur..."
"Seriously are you one of those split personality people...?" Sora asked. "You were all hard core battle ready when you were fighting, but after you lost your like Tabaku-san...So why did you attack me and Koikawa-san?"
"That tunnel leads not only to my master but something else extremely dangerous." He told Sora. "Besides protecting the artifacts and treasures of the Library I am to only allow certain people into those catacombs."
"OK fine I'll buy that..." Sora said. "You'll be OK in a few hours...And I promise we won't go into the caves...Where only trying to get out of here right now ant thought that could be an exit." He said as he got to his feet and dusted off his legs. "I just got one more question that door behind the water fall...the one marked as an emergency exit...It's really an exit right and not just some gag or something..."
"The Waterfall..." He repeated thinking for a moment. "Yes that path will lead you back to Level 1..."
"Cool thanks...umm...Sorry I still don't know your name...mines Sora." Sora told him.
"I am called Yuki no Toratou(Toratou of the snow)..." the Nek-Jin said.
"Alright then thanks..." Sora said as he walked away.
"You'd trust the word of a man that tried to kill you only moments ago?" Toratou asked.
"Well if that door was a trap why make me suspicious of it by saying something like that?" Sora said as he continued on.
"What a weird kid..."Toratou said. "And Damn lucky to have women like those..."
Sora explored to the roots and bookshelves.
"Hey Asuna-san! Negi-Kun! Its all right! It's safe now!" He called to them. He waited until he heard a faint call.
"Sora-kun..." He heard. Sora followed the sound as best he could.
"Negi-kun!" He called. "Is it you!"
"Sora-kun! Whe're Over Here! We Can See You!" Asuna called. Sora turned to his left and noticed Asuna and Negi standing near a small clearing. He rushed over egger to greet them and inform them that he has found an escape route.
"Hey guys! You OK!" Sora exclaimed.
"Completely fine..." Negi said. "Though you don't look to good! What Happened!" Sora looked and saw he still looked pretty scraped up and had a trail of blood coming from his mouth.
"Oh don't worry I'm fine, Toratou-san just throws stronger punches then I thought..." Sora said.
"Tora...You Mean That Cat Thing What Ever It Was!" Asuna exclaimed.
"He was a Nek-Jin, a cat-human, from Mundus Magicus to be exact." Negi said.
"Yeah What Ever! So You Took Him Out Right!" Asuna asked.
"Yeah I beat him but he is still alive..." Sora told them.
"What! Why!" She exclaimed.
"It was just a misunderstanding. Some had in formed him that we came here to steal away treasures here." Sora said.
"I assume you didn't tell him that we did come for the Book of Melchizedek..." Negi added.
"Course not, and he won't be moving around for a few hours anyway." Sora told them. "He doesn't seem like a bad kind of guy, and all the girls are defiantly safe from him, well when it comes to losing your lives I wouldn't worry..."
"I guess a couple of perverts like you to hit it off and became best buddies, eh?" They heard. Asahi appeared from around the corner.
"Koikawa-san!" Sora exclaimed. "So...Ah! Well I guess we..."
"Oh Be Quite!" She said. "Asuna and Negi-sensei have filled me in...at least that mages and magic stuff is real, and about how you all have to keep it a secret."
"Oh OK, what about that Souigiun-san is also a mage?" Sora asked bluntly.
"KYAAA!" She exclaimed as she punched his face.
"She's been reacting like that when we would just blurt out things like that..." Negi cried. "Namely punching me every time..."
"Kumogiri-sempai is a mage...?" Asahi repeated trying to wrap her mind over it. She even imagined him in a blue robe with a large brown hat and holding a staff. "Mage...?"
"There, there it's OK." Asuna said comforting her friend. "It was a big adjustment for me too..."
"Koikawa-san...I get this must be a lot to take in, but..." Sora said. "If anything you should be a little happy you know this. Now Souigiun doesn't have to keep this secret around you...you can be closer to him if you try." He told her. Asahi then realized that he was right. Now that she knew about the existence of magic then she could become closer to Kumogiri. If she just tried a little harder and gave it a bit more courage, she could... "I'm glade you found out too..." Sora added. Asahi, Negi and Asuna all turned to him. "Now I don't have to keep secretes from you either! We can be even better friends."
"Baka..." She said with a slight blush. "You really are an baka! It doesn't change how good friends we are or could be if we keep secretes from each other. Everybody's got one." She looked at him and Negi. "The two of you have done your best to help keep my secrete and supported me...So I guess it's only fair that I help keep and support yours..." She said with a light smile. "Right Sora-san...?" She asked as she offered him a hand up.
"Sure thing!" Sora said with a grin as Asahi helped him to his feet.
"Hmmm..." She said looking at him. Asahi looked at her sleeve and put it to her mouth. She bit down and tore away a small amount. She then licked it and began to use to clean off Sora's face. "Hold still Baka-Sora..."
"But I'm fine it's just dirt and blood stains. I'm not hurt any more..." Sora told her.
"Still baka! You should walk around with dirt and blood all over you. The others will think something bad happened if they see you like this, Sora-san." She said with an annoyed look on her face. Negi and Asuna to watched and began to giggle. "What's wrong with you two?"
"Nothing Asahi, I just didn't think you have a change of heart about Sora-kun so fast." Asuna commented. "First you beat him and make him bleed, and now your wiping the blood from his face...If I didn't know any better I'd..."
"Huh? You'd what?" Sora asked as the comment went completely over his head. It however didn't go over Asahi's.
"WHOA! WHOA! Asuna! Your Reading Way To Much Into This!" Asahi exclaimed in defense. "I'm Not-!"
"Hey Asuna-san I think this has been the first time Asahi-san had ever referred to Sora-kun by name!" Negi added. "...if I'm not mistaken Asahi-san has all ways called Sora-kun, Baka, or Pervert, or just You before!"
"I Do Believe Your Right There "Sensei"!" Asuna added.
"Damn It! You Guys I'm Not-!" Asahi exclaimed.
"HUH! What are you all implying..." Sora asked.
As the group walked back after settling down they discussed more about magic to Asahi. Like how Sora was from another world where he was a hero. And more about Negi's ambitions to become a powerful mage like his father. As well as how many of the Staff were mages as well with apprentices whom they instruct in magical lessons. Asuna whence as her arm stung.
"Hey Asuna-san are you sure you don't want me to heal it now?" Sora asked. "I have enough power still and every one here knows..."
"Well...If your sure..." Asuna said. Sora summoned his Keyblade. All the other took a good look at it.
"So you need this key thing to do magic?" Asahi asked.
"Not all of my spells. Ones like Haste, and other ones that are meant to increase my body's stamina, and output performance. I don't need the Keyblade to cast those spells." Sora as he raised his weapon. "Cure!" He said as he pointed it towards Asuna. "That any better?"
"Loads. Thanks Sora-kun" Asuna told him. Sora nearly tripped on is own feet.
"Damn...I'm reaching my limit." Sora said.
"I'm so sorry, Asuna-san..." Negi said. "You got hurt like that because you tried to keep me safe during the fall..."
"Oh come one sensei, it wasn't your fault!" Asahi said.
"If anyone should apologize, it should be me." Asuna said. "I shouldn't have dragged you down here, and i never would have if I had known that you couldn't use your magic."
"Hey don't worry Asuna-san!" Sora said trying to comfort her. "You didn't know and that's that..."
"Yeah normally we wouldn't have done something so crazy and desperate if we hadn't learned what teachers plan to do to the class if we come in last..." Asahi added.
"Hey we understand..." Sora told them. "I don't think it's fair for them to decided something like that over some test after Negi-kun has only been here a few weeks from what I heard." The two girls looked at him strangely.
"Hmmm...what are you talking about?" Asuna asked. "We mean about how they're going to split up the class and send the Baka Rangers back to primary school."
"Huh! What have you been smoking!" Sora exclaimed.
"The headmaster wouldn't do such a thing!" Negi told the girls.
"If so...Then what was to big trouble you were talking about sensei!" Asahi asked.
"Well..." Negi started. "I received word from Headmaster Konoemon that I would only become a fulltime teacher if you girls are out of last place." The girls stared at him in silence.
"What The Hell-!" Asuna screamed. "You Mean To Tell Me That The Splitting Up, And The Being Held Back Were All Rumors!"
"None Of It Was Even True!" Asahi exclaimed.
"P-probably so..." Sora said.
"Oh God! If We had Known That We Would Have Never Come Down Here!" Asahi yelled.
"How Cold!" Negi cried.
"It is your fault! Everything is Baka-Negi's fault!" Asuna exclaimed.
"Come Off It! You Really Are A Baka Ranger If You'd Believe That You Be Sent Back To Kindergarten!" Sora complained and received a smack.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" A voice suddenly screamed out.
"What the-!" Sora exclaimed.
"On no! You don't think that pervert cat-man has gone after the others!" Asuna asked.
"No Way He Shouldn't Be Able To Move!" Sora told them.
"KYAAA!" the voice yelled out again. As they ran to the source of the screams Konoka could be seen running to them.
"Sora-Kun! Negi-Kun! Asuna!" She called to them. "We've Got Trouble!"
"Huh! Konoka-San What's Happened!" Asahi asked.
"Come See Quickly!" She told them.
Sora and the other's followed after Konoka. When they arrived back at their camp where they had been studying and sleeping the past day and a half, they saw Sanding in the center was the Stone Golem. It's glowing eye looked towards them as the gasped and exclaimed. In it's large right hand the Golem held a naked Makie. Kaede and Ku Fei, who were only in towels, tried their bet to keep it surrounded and keep the from Golem running off with their friend.
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Makie cried. "SORA-KUN! NEGI-KUN! ASUNA-SAN!"
"HOLY SHIT THE GIANT IS BACK AGAIN!" Asahi yelled.
"Actually Its A Golem...!" Negi said.
"WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK!" Asuna screamed.
"It Must Have Fallen Down Here With Us!" Sora exclaimed.
"SOME ONE PLEASE HELP!" Makie cried. "NEGI-KUN HELP ME!"
"Maki-Chan!" Sora called "Hold On!"
"You There D-Don't Pick On My Students! I Won't Forgive You If Any Of Them Are Hurt!" Negi called out. He clutched his staff and chanted. "Ras tel Ma Scir Magister...Spiritus Lux Coactus Et verberatus deorsus Mea inimicus(Spirits of the Light Gather And Strike Down My Foe)..." He said. Negi lightly held his staff in his left arm and bent down his left leg. He pointed is right arm pointing to the Golem with his middle and index fingers. "Now Feel The Wrath of My Magic Arrow! Sagita Magika!". The Golem flinched in fear. Nothing happened. The other girls and the Golem stared at Negi. His face super deformed as he went "Huh...?"
"Baka-Negi...!" Sora thought. "Your Magic Is Still Sealed For A Few More Hours!"
"Magic Arrow-aru..." Ku Fei said.
"Ho, Ho, Ho, You'll Never Escape From This Place Alive..." The Golem said. "It Takes Three Days To Navigate The Maze And Reach The Surface, And That's Only If You Know The Correct Path!"
"Three Days!" Yue repeated.
"Bull! I found an escape route to the top!" Sora proclaimed.
"Wha- Is True, Sora-kun!"Ku Fei asked.
"Yeah!" Sora told them.
"Impossible!" The Golem exclaimed
"Konoka-san! Yue-san! Asahi-san!" Negi called. "Gather our things together as we rescue Makie-san!"
"Right." Yue said.
"Oh! OK!" Konoka replied as she and the two others raced around the camp to find their belongings.
"Hold on Maki-chan we'll save you!" Sora said.
"Hey! Guys Look There At The Monster's Neck!" Makie shouted. Sora, Negi and the others looked closely. In between the Golem's head and it's neckguard was The magic book that the group sought.
"It..." Negi said.
"IT'S THE BOOK OF MEL-WHAT-CHA-MA-CALL-IT!" Sora exclaimed.
"The Magic Book!" Kaede shouted.
"It must have fallen with the golem!" Negi said.
"Let's get that book!" Asuna shouted. "Kaede! Ku Fei!"
"On It-Aru!" Ku Fei exclaimed. She began to run straight to the golem without fear. "I'll show you the power of a member of the Mahora Chinese martial Arts Club-aru!" She said as she punched the Golem's left leg, causing it to crack. "Hai-Ya-Ka!" She shouted as she leapt and kicked it's right arm. Forcing the Golem to toss Makie. Kaede jumped pass Sora giving him a view up her towel and causing him to nearly pass out. She grabbed Makie and wrapped her in a spare towel.
"Yo." Kaede said as she handed Makie her ribbon. "It's your turn-de gozaru."
"Yah!" Makie exclaimed as she whisked the ribbon. It wrapped around the book and pulled it towards the two girls. "Kyaaa! We've got the Magic Book!" Makie then tossed the book to Ku Fei.
"AH...W-Wait!" The Golem Exclaimed.
"A-Amazing! The Baka Rangers Are Some Awesome Athletes!" Negi yelled.
"Quick Everyone Follow Me!" Sora exclaimed.
The girls fallowed the shift footed Sora as he guided them to the waterfall where he had found the exit. The girls all dressed them selves as the ran bit by bit until they reached the falls. The Golem slowly followed after them.
"Here Behind The Water Fall!" Sora shouted as he showed them the door.
"Huh! An Emergency Exit!" Asuna exclaimed.
"Isn't that a little too convenient?" Negi asked.
"Who Cares A Way Out Is A Way Out!" Asahi exclaimed.
"W-Wait A Moment!" The Golem called.
"Hurry! Through The Door!" Yue shouted. The girls one by one walked through the door but they didn't get very far. Them group found themselves on a spiral staircase in what seemed like a large circular area. A stone door stood in front of them with a bronze plaque at it's center.
"Huh! What Is This Another Door!" Makie yelled. "It Won't Open!"
"Wait it has a question on the plaque there!" Asahi said. "It says "What is the past tense for the English word, "Read"?"
"What The Hell!" Makie screamed with tears forming in her eyes. "Another Quiz-Trap!" Ku Fei kicked the golem back.
"Huh? Wait I know this-aru!" She said.
"Huh! You Do!" Sora asked.
"Yeah! It's "Read"-aru!" She shouted. The door was sucked into the wall.
"Hey It Opened!" Konoka yelled.
"Don't Tell Me...The Book..." Makie said as she pointed to the book in Ku Fei's hands.
"Just holding it makes you smart-aru!" Ku Fei shouted.
"Quick hurry!" Sora reminded them as he knocked the golem back with Kaede.
The group moved their way up the spiral staircase. They seemed to climb up about three or four flights worth. The stairs seemed to go on forever. But they stayed in good spirits as the golem was nowhere to be seen. Soon however, their moods took a sharp turn as the golem came rushing through the wall below them. He climbed up to them to the next level. Ku Fei through the book to Kaede as she and Sora kicked it back.
"That bastard doesn't give up dose he?" Sora said.
"You Might As Well Just Give Up And Surrender The Book Children!" It said. Sora Makie, and Ku Fei all stuck out their tongs and pulled down one eyelid each.
"Bleh!" Makie said.
"Like Hell!" Sora yelled.
"We will never give it back-aru!" Ku Fei added. The others came to another door.
"What! It's another question!" Yue said.
"Oh No!" Sora exclaimed. "What dose it say?"
"Shit! It's math!" Asuna yelled. "What is The value of X in the diagram below?"
"Hmmm..." Kaede said. "X=46 degrees..." The door was pulled into the wall.
"Whoa! Kaede-san's worst subject is math!" Asahi exclaimed
"That book really has some power!" Konoka said.
The group kept going. Farther and farther they climbed up the stairs. They kept running into doors, but each time who ever held the book blurted out the correct answer. They made it to question nine.
"How do you say "Sagasu" in English?" Asahi asked.
"I know! It's "Look For"!" Makie said. And the door slid into the wall. She tossed the book to Asuna.
"Hey question 10, "Who was the important historical figure who teamed up with Fujihara during the Great Renewal"?" Asahi read.
"Leave this to me! It's Nakatomino Kamatari!" Asuna yelled. "What a weird name, huh!" she added as the door flew into the wall.
"This is great even Asuna-san, and Maki-chan are getting the right answers!" Sora exclaimed. "The Magic Powers Of The Book Are So Powerful!"
"HEY!" The two girls yelled.
Sora and the others ran for over an hour. The were starting to tire out. But they couldn't stop for any thing. Because the golem was still close on their tails. He was only two levels below where they stood now. Sora panted as they came to the next door.
"It says "Place the choices in the correct order to complete this English sentence: This is a picture...A. On September 21...B. Took...C. We..."!" He read to them.
"This is getting on my nerves-aru!" Ku Fei complained.
"It's C, B, A!" Yue said. As they pressed on the Yue heard a beep from her pocket. She pulled out her cell phone and saw a few bars. "I Have A Cell Signal! Hold On I'll Call For Help!"
"R-really..." Makie asked.
"Hey! It looks like up won't need to! Look There!" Sora exclaimed. The Girls and Negi looked ahead, but what lied in front of them was no door, but an elevator. It was the two steel doors with no question written on it. The only thing it said was "Express, 1F!".
"An Express Elevator! No Fucking Way!" Asahi exclaimed.
"Now That Is Convenient!" Negi yelled. They all soon crowed into the elevator.
"Everyone In Hurry Up!" Sora shouted.
"We've Finally Made It!" Makie cried.
"OK Let's Head To The Surface!" Konoka shouted. As Sora pushed the button to raise the elevator, a ding went off and a light came on. Voice came on over the intercom.
"The elevator is overloaded." The intercom said.
"Huh?" Sora said with a stupefied face.
"NO..." They all thought in their heads. "NOOOOOO..."
"We Must Have Eaten Too Much I The Last Three Days-Aru!" Ku Fei said.
"How Much Do You Weight Makie-Chan!" Asuna asked.
"Me! What About You!" She shouted.
"Hold it!" Asahi said. "I can't believe I'm staying this...but everybody start stripping!"
"WHAT!" Everybody else shouted.
"Look at this!" She said as she placed her foot outside the elevator. The light went off showing that the elevator was no longer overloaded. "It can't be no more then the weight of our cloths!"
"Hey she's right-aru!"
"Great Plan!" Konoka added as she and the other girls began to strip.
"Hey no wait!" Sora shouted.
Negi and Sora stared blankly at the girls. The girls were all stripped down to their panties, and nothing else. Each of them covering their breasts. Makie, Asuna, and Ku Fei had tears forming. Sora was covered in red and could even force himself to look away. Negi even though he was just as red covered his eyes.
"It's No Good After All-Aru!" Ku Fei shouted.
"I Don't Have Anything Left!" Makie cried. "The Only Thing Left Is..."
"Hey Why Are You Both Still Dressed!" Asahi Shouted.
"I tried to tell you that this was a bad idea!" Sora told her.
"Ho, Ho, Ho..." They heard. Suddenly two gient hands pulled the golems head into view. "I've Got You Now! Prepare...Your...Selves...What The Hell IS Going On In There!"
"KYAAA!" The girls screamed.
Negi removed his hands. He stared straight at the golem. And then to his students. Sora had a angry look on his face. Negi as well looked angry at the golem. He was the teacher there. He may have been the youngest, but he still should have stopped them from venturing into the Library. And it was he who was responsible for the others safety. Negi clutched his staff as he relived what he had to do. Negi stood to his feet and ran out side the elevator, between the golem and his friends.
"Negi!" Asuna and Sora called. The light went off and Negi slapped the button for the elevator to ascend to the surface.
"I'm going to stay behind..." He said. "Please everyone return to the surface and take the exam!"
"What-!" Asahi exclaimed.
"You Baka! You Can't Even Defend Yourself!" Sora shouted.
"Negi-Kun!" Makie yelled.
"No, Negi-Bozu!" Kaede added.
"I will protect my students...!" Negi told himself. "Because even without magic, I am a teacher!" Negi's gaze turned serious as he stared down with the golem.
"Negi!" They all yelled.
"Hey Golem! I am Your Opponent Now!" He yelled. "I Shall Not Allow You To Pass Me!"
"Ho, Ho...You Have Guts Little One! Very Well Take This!" The Golem shouted. It threw out his right arm and attempted to punch Negi into the ground. Suddenly Sora kicked at the golem's arm and held it back.
"FUCKING BAKA!" Sora yelled. He pushed the golem's arm back with the force of his kick. The golem began to lose it's balance.
"AUU!" Negi exclaimed as he was pulled by the collar. He looked behind him and saw Asuna. "Asuna-san!"
"BAKA!" Sora yelled. "This Exam Isn't Just For Them It's For You Too!" Negi looked at Sora. "If You Want To Be A Full-Flege Teacher The Class Has To Come Out Of Last Place, Right!"
"So What Would Be The Point If We Do And Your Not There To Pass Too!" Asuna added. "Don't Try To Act Cool, You Damn Brat!" Sora kicked the golem and jumped back.
"You Won't Escape!" It shouted.
"Stubborn Bastard!" Asuna yelled as she raised the book over her head.
"Hey-! That's-" Negi exclaimed.
"You want it..." She said. Asuna threw the book with great force, that once it struck to golem's head, caused it to begin to fall into the endless looking darkness. "THEN TAKE IT YOU STONE SON OF A BITCH!" The Golem creaked as it slowly fell backwards. It then looked to the group, were it saw Sora, and Asuna both wearing triumphal smiles, as the elevator doors slammed and he fell over the edge. As the elevator began to move the girls and Sora all sighed with relife.
"Humph! Looks like we made it, eh?" Asahi said.
"Yep..." Sora said.
"But! The Book! We Lost It!" Negi shouted. "It was because of me..."
"Hey Negi-bozu!" Sora said. "Come on, you don't need to worry..."
"But-" He began. Sora looked him in the eye.
"Come on all the girls feel the same..." Sora said.
"What?" Negi asked.
"Better we lose that book, the our dear teacher, am I right guys?" Sora said.
"Mumhumm..." Konoka and Makie said.
"That Right-Aru!" Ku Fei said. Kaede and Yue both smiled with Asahi.
"Looks like we made the right choice to me..." Asuna said.
"Asuna-san, Sora-kun, everyone..." Negi said. The elevator dinged and opened up to revel the Level 1 floor.
"Come on now!" Yue called.
"Hey..." Sora said over the walkie-talkie. "Were at the surface and we are coming through the front gate! Over!"
"Sora-Kun! Are You All OK! Over!" Howaido asked.
"SORA-SAMA! SESSHA-SENSEI! I RETURNED EVEY NIGHT WAITING FOR YOU! DON'T EVER SCARE ME LIKE THIS AGAIN!" A voice cried.
"For Once I Agree!" Howaido added.
Sora and the crew walked through the front gate and gazed out to the city. The sun was rising from their left. Sora patted Negi's head as the two of them , along with Asuna and Asahi stood near the edge of the water together. The bright sunlight washing over them. The long quest through Library Island to find the Magic Book was finally drawn to a close. The group stood in silence with Kagako, Haruna, Nodaka, and Howaido, until it was broken by Ku Fei.
"Hey I got a question. What about our cloths-aru?" She asked.
Finally Free From The Library...
Time Left Until The Exams: 15 hours...
What Are You To Do Now Baka Rangers...!
Next Time: End of the Term! Negi's Final Challenge Failed!

As all OC's Asahi first started as the KH shelf then expanded. She almost ending up as a pure Asuna clone in a Kairi body. However I decided to base the character's personality on Naru from Love Hina. She doesn't like our hero Sora, but she slowly comes around. Though she will try her best to keep him at arms length. At first she didn't have a crush on anyone. However, I felt that there was no conflicts for Sora other then hiding magic. And then I felt that when she needed a love interest that it shouldn't be a Riku OC. So for a while it was going to be Kokuu. However the idea was scraped in favor for Kumogiri. Her love of cloths and cats was easy and given very early. Her love of books as well. She rooms with Howaido and Hinata. Her music ability was from the fact that none of the 2A girls were in an actual music clubs. Despite The cheerleaders and Ako forming a band during the school festival. Asahi ended up more violent then Naru in my opinion, and even a bit impulsive and uncaring, but under all that she's a dear friend who actually cares about others.
