WolfGear Presents: Negima? The mage and the Gunslinger

Pairings: Negi X ku-Fei Kaede X OC

Chapter 45: Return to the magic world

I don't own Negima!

It was four o'clock in the morning, a time that no sane person would be up at unless they were working the nightshift. But for Jack, Negi, Kaede, Ku-Fei, Konoka, Setsuna, Sayo, Kataro, Chachamaru, Fumika, and Fuuka they weren't going to work they were heading to England to meet up with Negi's sister in Wales. Why were they leaving at four in the morning, simple to stop Ayaka and a bunch of others girls from chasing after Negi like last time, the magic world was no place for novice. Which was why they were traveling with Rubi's friend Victor a former Russian pilot who for the right price would take you anywhere you wanted to go, and everything was for the book, so there was no way for Ayaka to track them. Also they scheduled a commercial fight in their name bond for Brazil. That would by them enough time to get to the magic world without leaving any trace of where they gone, and keep the girls safe.

In the radio tower Thomas, Rubi, and Evangeline, who was able to be there thanks to a potion that could temporary change her into a completely normal human girl, but it also completely robbed of all her powers. Nobody knew why the vampire was so desperate to watch them depart but they left her alone, for it was her business.

As the plane took off Rubi felt a since of loss as she watch them go, but quickly shook it off, they would be alright, and Ray was in the magic world somewhere so if they were in deep shit he could help them. That's enough of this sad stuff, Rubi told herself she had her own plane to catch, there were some drug dealers in south America that needed to be put down.

"See you two later," Rubi said sincerely, before she would have punched Thomas in the ribs just for laughs, but after spending some time with her brother in law again she saw him in a better light, besides it was time for them to grow up, they both had to set good examples for their kids.

"See ya Rubi, and good hunting." Thomas wished the fire cat, surprised that he still had his ribs intact. He was glad that they finally worked things out, now they just needed to find John, and Ray and they could have one big reunion, looks down at Evangeline, but stopped himself from getting any ideas, she could come too if she wanted.

"If you have something to say then say it." Evangeline growled. She couldn't stand Thomas's constant staring, but she knew what he wanted to ask, and frankly she didn't want to talk about it.

"Ah-

"Before you start speaking be mindful of the consequences." Eva threatened, so Thomas decided for health reasons that he should hold his tongue.

"Never mind it's not important."

"Tch you humans," Evangeline scoffed, and walked away, but just as she was about to leave the empty airport lobby, Thomas shouted across the room.

"There was a report of a man with an eye patch forcing his way to the county of magic. Eyewitnesses say he was dress as a gunslinger, and was able to defect every spell thrown at him, and a few minutes later a ball of lightning was said to have chased after him through the portal." Thomas said, and then added. "This is all off the books of course, but some believe that the ball of lightning was John, but no one has of yet been able to identify the man with the eye patch."

A small grin appeared on the vampire's lips, after all these years he finally shows himself. "It's not that they don't know who it is," Evangeline said mockingly. Oh what fools they were. "They just don't want to except that it's him."

"Who do you mean, the man with the eye patch?" Thomas asked, but received no reply from the vampire. "Evangeline."

"Be quiet, your ruining my good mood," She scolded. Immediately Thomas shut up, this pleased the vampire. "Good now, since I'm in such a good mood I will allow you that honor of taking out to eat. I think the emperor's palace would do nicely. The first time in years I'm able to leave that dreadful school and I feel like making the most of it."

"Yes ma'am," Thomas moaned following the vampire, he had a feeling his wallet was about to become much lighter.

On the plane Negi and the others were just starting to settle down as there wasn't much to do on and aircraft carrier other then sit around, but luckily Jack had a collection of card and board games stored in his satchel bag to help pass the time. This wasn't the first time the infinite storage came in handy, like the time he and Jack were stuck on a cargo ship bond for shanghai after some sailors tried to Shanghai Jack after a night of drinking. He wasn't too happy when he woke and when the captain said he was working without pay, well let's just say the flames that engulfed the ship were not kind.

Hours later they were finally over wales, but since they couldn't land without getting caught by the officials, they were going to parachute in to wales. Which the girls thought was really cool, but Negi wasn't so sure he's done this a few times already and every time he was afraid that his parachute wouldn't deploy. But then he remembered he could fly, and felt really stupid.

"Ok, Its time deploy remember to pull your cord when you see me pull mine, try not to hit any trees, homes or barns, farms don't like when you do that, and will make you work to pay for the damages." Jack told everybody, who just stared. "Everybody ready? Good Negi you're first."

"What?" But it was too late Jack already seized hold of his parachute and threw him out of the plane, and jumped out after him.

"YAHOO!"

Following the gunslinger's lead the rest of the group jumped down after them, and free felled well preforming zero gravity acrobatics, till finally they saw Jack's shoot eject and followed likewise and floated safely to the ground. From there they walked on foot to Negi's hometown which they conveniently landed only five miles away from.

One long walk later and they finally arrived at Negi's village, which was a quiet little place, and standing on a hill side waiting for them was none other than Negi's sister Nekane Springfield and his child hood friend Anya Cocolova. With extreme joy Negi ran to his sister and embraced her in a hug and then spun her around in the air, which looked worried because of his ten year old appearance.

"Oh Negi how have you been doing, are you eating well?" Nekane asked concerned for her little brother's health. It was a sweet reunion that was ruined by a certain ermine.

"Hey bro, what's up with all these girls are they all your partners?" Chamo asked popping up on Nekane's shoulder, but before the little fuzz ball could speak further the crushing hand of Nekane appeared around him and hoisted him into the air.

"Did I say you could leave your cage?" She asked in a demon voice him.

"No," Chamo said fearfully.

"Then where should you be right now?"

"In my cage till my sentence is over." He replied dejectedly as he made his way back the house.

Clearing his throat to clear the awkwardness, Negi tried to get back to greeting his sister but the mood was lost. "What was that about?"

"Oh nothing, Chamo just got into a bit of trouble and now I'm serving as his parole officer till his community service is up." Nekane said cheerfully acting as if her little spat with Chamo never happened.

"What did he do?" Negi asked through he already knew the answer.

Nekane cleared her throat. "Oh he was stealing panties from girls in the village and was about to set off for Japan, but he decided to try and still some of my panties before he left and I caught him and punished him. Now let just drop it and go met you friends." She smiled, leaving Negi no choice but agree and follow.

After exchanging greeting Nekane offered to put the group up for the night, which they gratefully accepted. Inside the villages spacious mess hall everyone was chowing down on the wonderfully prepared food, and of to the side Negi sat next to his sister along with Jack and Anya as to Nekane's request.

"So Jack how as Negi been fairing? I see that he has a lot of friends, but I'm worried that he'll push himself too hard." Nekane asked the cowboy, and then smacked herself for forgetting her manners. "Sorry I haven't thanked you yet for watching out for Negi, you have no idea how relieved I was to know that he had a friend with him." She added joyfully, at first she didn't know what to think of Jack, but seeing how much Negi had grown she was happy he was his friend.

Jack blushed unused to such praise. "It was nothing really. Negi is a strong young man and he has a strong woman to look out for him, so he'll be fine." He said before he realized what it was that he was saying. Oh shit, he thought I really blew that one.

With stars in her eyes Nekane pressed the cowboy. "A girl… as in a girlfriend? I would have never believed that he would have the time to find one, or even the ambition at his age. Tell me she is what she's like everything!" She demanded excitedly. Oh she was going to have so much fun teasing him.

"Well um… she's a strong, dependable girl, and very cute if I say so myself." Jack began. Secretly though he was looking for a way to draw the blonde's attention away from him. When suddenly he caught site of Ku-Fei, yes, that would do nicely. "In fact she's here right now." He said pointed towards Ku's table.

"Which one?" There were so many girls sitting at the table she had no idea who he was referring to. "Is it the tall one that looks like her eyes are closed?" She asked taking note of Kaede, she had read that opposites attract, so a really short person would be attracted to a tall person right?

"No," Jack said pretending to cough. "That's my girlfriend." He said quietly, normally he wouldn't be so meek to announce that fact, but he had a feeling that Nekane may have taken a liking to him after their first meeting, and in the messages he sent regarding Negi's welfare he never thought to mention his own personal business, like having a girlfriend, he just hope that the blonde hadn't developed to strong of feeling for him beyond that of a friend.

"Oh I see," Nekane said a little disappointed, but she knew that a man such as Jack wouldn't stay single for long, but she knew her long distance relationship with him wouldn't amount to anything more than friendship, which was alright, she was always glad to have another friend. "So which on is she?"

Jack points to Ku-Fei. "The Chinese girl with the blonde hair, her name is Ku-Fei, she's Negi's girlfriend. Though she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, she is loyal and she loves Negi very much." He said honestly, Ku was all those things and more, but it didn't look like he would have to worry about Nekane's disproval if the girl for she looked quite happy with her little brothers choice.

"She's lovely. I'm sure Negi will be just fine with her by her side." Nekane said happily as she brushed a tear of joy away before anyone could see it. "If you'll excuse me I have some business to attend to with the headmaster, please come by his office later on if you would, I believe he had something to show you."

"Fine I'll see you later." He replied returning to his meal, though he wondered what the headmaster wanted with him.

Later after Negi had met with the petrified people of his village and thanked them for their sacrifice. He met up with Jack at the headmaster's office, which was a large room with a big desk and chair with a large stain glass window behind him to let in sunlight.

Curiously the Headmaster studied the cowboy as if trying to see something that no one else could see. "You are indeed John's son I can tell that, tell me young man have you heard the news?" The headmaster questioned.

"What news?"

The headmaster picked up a video stone and activated it projecting a picture of two men fighting around the portal of Stonehenge. "Two days ago, these two appeared out of nowhere and began tearing up the place. It's shameful to say, but their power was on a whole other scale compared to anyone else here," shifts the image to John. "As you can see we have identified this man to be John McCoy the revelator, the other man however we have no idea who he is, all we know is he dresses like a gunslinger and has an eye patch over his left eye." He said scrolling threw the video.

"Stop right there!" Jack ordered. "Now zoom in on this space here." He said pointing to the eye patched man's neck, there you could see a tiny pendent hanging around the man's neck. It was a craving of bulls skull engulfed in flames.

"What is it Jack?" Negi asked his friend, the pendant's design looked very familiar but he couldn't place it where he's seen it before.

"It a clan tag, my clan tag, there's no doubt about it that man with the eye patch is a McCoy." Jack concluded. "What's more he's even more powerful than my old man." The others gasped! That was a pretty big statement to make John's power was on par with Nagi's the thousand Master, for someone to be more powerful than those two individuals was a tough pill to shallow.

"How can you tell?" Asked the headmaster, if was this young man said was true then the magic world could be in grave danger.

Jack pointed to his father's image. "Look here, that's the old man's infinite lighting storm technique he would only use it if he didn't have any other choice, and look here the expression on his face. It looks like he angry, but really he's exhausted, these two haven't been fighting only a few minutes, they have been fighting for days, maybe even longer, yet the other guy doesn't seem to be breathing hard."

"Hmm this is indeed a matter that needs are full attention, but I don't have the resources to do anything I'm afraid. For now I'll send a report to the magic counsel in the homeland and let them deal with it." The headmaster said letting out a long yawn. "Oh dear excuse me. I believe I have kept you youngster long enough, please go get some rest for you journey tomorrow." He said dismissing the two. Things were going to get complicated, the headmaster thought, he could fell it in his bones, and those to boys were going to be at the center of it.

The next morning everyone arose bright and early and wearing the special cloaks traveled through the mist to Stonehenge, where the portal to the other world waited for them. Negi knew was waiting for them on the other side and as a precaution everyone placed their weapons inside Jack's satchel bag, thanks to its design would be unaffected by the portal cities security, so when they crossed over they would have all their weapons ready and waiting for Fates attack, though Negi would have wanted to try and stop him before he enters the portal it would be too for risky to the villagers.

"Hold on." Jack halted as he fished out something from his bag. He rummaged around a minute and finally produced a bunch of silver cross necks with jade gems on each of the tips. "Put these on," He ordered. "They for incase we get separated, the gem will glow when another cross is nearby and the depending on which end it's on will determine which direction to go. Also if you speak the command "home" into the center crystal it will lead you the McCoy ranch. That will be our rendezvous spot. When you get there just show them this and they'll let you in." He explained. Negi was quite impressed with Jack's plan, he had forgotten last time everyone was scattered all over the magic world, this time even if they do get separated they'll at least be able to find each other or met up at one spot.

"Is everyone ready?" Donet asked as the portal started to shine and ancient runes appeared in the air. A bright flash of light and everyone disappeared in a pillar of light, flying towards the stars.

The landing was the same as last time. Negi and his friends appeared on a one of the many platforms located in the building. Like they planed the night before everyone stayed together, Negi had warned them that they could be attacked once they enter the magic world, and order them to stay together for safety.

Negi stood still moving his eyes, trying to be as oblivious he could to the auras that surround them. Now he could understand why the security couldn't notice Fate, but you would think they could at least sense the five girls that were with him and with Tsukuyomi dead Fate's numbers were down one right of the bat. Wait a second, he thought, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven? There was another member in Fate's party!

Suddenly their auras flared, they finally noticed that Negi had sensed them, and before they knew it all hell broke loose.
