Chapter 62: Jack's return and the war begins
I don't own Negima
In towns all across the magic world, the Dolls of the immortal army were raising up after years of hiding. The ones who had stationed themselves in the homes of the rich and corrupt, slit the throats of their false masters and left their worldly treasures to the one you truly needed it. The ones who had settled and raised the orphans of the war that no one wanted, made the difficult choice of going to their beloved master's side, or staying with their beloved children. Most elected one to stay well the others left to fight, some of the children wanted to come with them, but were forced to stay behind. War was their profession, not their children's. Finally the ones hiding in the wastes armed themselves to the teeth and with the most advance tech they had, flew their battleships to the place where it ended, and where it would begin again. The army of the immortal Dolls had returned and was tolling the bells of hell as they went to what could be their final resting place.
Jake blew apart another black monster with a quick wave of his hand, his power was still over charging Jack's body, and pretty soon he would have to leave, less he permanently damage his grandson's soul. Even now he could feel his own soul struggling to stay glued to this body, but it would be no use, so he might as well do something useful before he goes.
Arriving on the balcony was Ray was protecting the others; Jake stepped on to the ledge and gave a sharp ear piercing whistle!
"Hey Brigitte, hurry up!" He called out to the open sky. The other thought him crazy till a large flying pirate ship flew to meet him. Aboard the ship was thousands of Chacha Dolls, armed to the teeth and dressed in army uniforms. One tall black haired one with a Green Beret hat steps forward and salutes to the gunslinger.
"Chacha-one codename Brigitte at your service sir!" The doll salutes, and then takes a knee along with all the others aboard the ship, Jake smiles kindly lifting the kneeing doll to her feet.
"It's good to see you again Brigitte." Jake said affectingly patting the doll on the head. A faint shade of pink fell across her face. "Now let's get this bird in the air." He says climbing aboard the ship. The others follow his lead and hop aboard.
"Wow this is amazing!" Negi said observing the ship as it began to move. He had heard of these ships. They were the original battleships of the magical world, created years ago during the first civil war. Even todays ships had nothing of the raw fire power that this ship processed, and those were equal to Jack Rakan's attacks.
Ahead of them a large number of black monsters appeared to halt their advance.
"Alright, full speed head! Prepare all cannons for broadside! All units prepare for battle! We must get Jesse back at all costs!" Jake spurred. The Chacha's yet out a loud battle cry as they did as they were ordered. "It's good they still got their attitude, but this will be difficult to fight those monsters without wings."
"Actually sir," Brigitte interjected, "We do have wings. Allow me to present the Chacha aerial combat unit!" She said directing everyone's attention to the units coming from below deck, equipped with large metal wings on their back.
Jake blinked, "When did you do that?"
"A man with a mechanical eye and arm dressed in black and a black haired Chinese girl come by years ago and gave us this technology. They said we would need it. They also stood us where you were, which is how we got here so fast." Brigitte explained to her master. Negi and the others knew who the two strangers were; apparently Future Jack and Chao were still meddling in the past.
"Well that's fine. Now go prepare your troops, while I take with these youngsters." Jake ordered. The commander Doll saluted and left the bridge, when she was out of sight, Jake slumped against the railing, sweating like it was hundred degrees; in fact he was literally starting on fire!
"Looks… like my time… is up… listen all of you… get Jesse back, and Ray tell Thomas to get his ass over here, I'll get John… I have a plan to fix almost everything…. Dammit! Sorry can't talk anymore, bye son." A blue glow over took Jack's body as Jake's spirit fell out of it and into the night sky. When it finally died down Jack returned to normal.
"Damn what the fuck happened?" He mummed as three bodies dog piled on top of him. Jack tried to push his girlfriend and the pinkettes off because they were crushing him, but gave up when they refused to bulge and embraced them. "Did ja miss me or something?"
The girls pulled back and smiled, "Not at all."
"I thought so," He laughed lifting them up and bear hugging them. Payback never looked to cute.
Negi grinned at the sight. He had his best friend back finally. Now was not the time for happy reunions though, there was still the matter of the evil organization to take care of.
"Hum Jack I'd hate to interrupt, but we kind of have very pressing matters to attend to." Negi indicated the mass of black monsters and the floating castle beyond.
Releasing the girls Jack step forward next to Negi and smirked. "Well then we better get started." This was it. The legendary battle that made Negi famous in their previous time stream, and now he was going to be a part of it, hell yeah. This was going to fun.
"Excuse me?" Brigitte interrupted appearing between the two warriors. "If you would be following me, we will run you through the plan." She said waving the group down to the main deck and directed their attention to the row of Ariel type Chacha units.
"These are our strongest and most talented Ariel units. Once we attack the horde with our main battery these units will slip all of you in. That way you don't waste your energy flying and fight these flies, and we get more people behind enemy lines. As this is our greatest battle since the war, I'm assigning you Chacha-002 Vela and 003 Kata on this mission. You can't get much stronger than them when it comes to our kind." Brigitte proudly boasted. She wished she was the one going, but she must stay and keep watch over the troops.
"We appreciate it." Jack and Negi bowed to the Doll commander. It was reassuring to know that they'll have someone to watch out for the weaker members of the group. Not that they didn't have faith in their abilities, but other than Ray, Kaede, Kataro, and Ku, the others were not at the level to be taking on Fate's mass produced brethren.
Brigitte waved them off, "No thanks is needed. We are happy to help Master's family. We will begin operation in two minutes, please prepare yourselves." She ordered, before leaving them. The deck was completely cleared of everyone except the one who were supposed to be there. All the aerial units picked a passenger and waited.
"It is an honor to be flying with you, sir," Kata said grabbing hold of Negi. In the back you could see Ku's face light up red with anger and jealously.
"Now, now Ku remember you temper," Kaede lectured just as Vela grabbed hold of Jack.
"You remind me of Master I hope you'll be gentle on our first ride." Vela said sweet clinging to Jack's back. He could practically feel Kaede's heated gaze, what's more he felt this was some kind of prank by the doll or something because he could already fly.
"Don't worry," Ray told the two girls. "Those two always mess around like that. They did it all the time with Eva."
Kaede bit her cheek glared off to the side. "Fine but one wrong move and she'll be MIA.
"Yeah," Ku agreed, "Um what's MIA?"
"Oh Ku…" Negi shook his head.
"Listen up!" Brigitte yelled over the roaring winds and monster of the horde. "It's time for operations to begin. All units in position, Good open fire with Grand O Rio Cannon! Clear the path!" The Front portion of the ship broke apart revealing a massive multi barreled cannon. Blue energy charged with in as it climbed towards maximum.
"READY AIM FIRE!" Brigitte commanded.
The cannon erupted in a beam of blue that threaded through the monster horde like a hot knife through butter. The ship moved forward right into the middle of the open space created guns blazing!
"GO NOW!"
The Ariel units took up their cargo and blasted off into the skies. Leaving their sisters behind has a cloud of black descended upon them. Streaks of laser light flashed through the cloud of monsters as the immortal Dolls showed these mindless beasts why they were the most feared army in the world.
"Do you think they'll be alright?" Sayo wondered concerned for the doll soldiers. They just met, but Rubi had told her to respect such character as theirs. Giving there life for strangers was not many could do.
"I wouldn't worry," Ray spoke up, "They survived the magic wars. It will take much more than a bunch of low level monsters like those black things to take them down."
Kata nodded her head in agreement. "Your right master Ray, besides we have our own objective. Behold the enemy fortress dead head."
A gaint black spiraling tower floated over the ruins of the old capital, right on top of the gate leading to Mahora. Somewhere inside was Jesse, Jack's sister, the key to all of this. Strange how the universe still gives the bad guys some way to complete their evil scheme. Negi wondered how things would be if Asuna had discovered him again, but quickly pushed that thought away. It was ancient history, maybe someday she would return to her roll of the twilight princess, but it would not be through him. So what did that make Jesse? Now that he thought about it, all of the McCoy's Ray, John, Thomas, and Jack. All for them held control of a one major element, Wind, lightning, water, fire, earth, and Light and dark as a bonus for Ray, but what did it mean?
"Negi snap too it! We got company." Jack pointed to the three figures floating in the sky head. It was Fate's brethren Fire, water, and lightning. "You go on head, me and Negi these punks." Jack boasted taking flight, Negi followed suit. Both stared down the mass produced Fates well the other snuck by.
"You didn't try to stop them?" Negi asked the dolls.
"There is no need." The fire fate said arrogantly. "We still have many stronger comrades waiting for them. Your friends don't stand a chance."
"Really then we better hurry up and get this over with then." Jack said flaring his energy. Flames filled the air, well lightning circled Negi.
"You don't stand a chance either." Fire fate said flaring his own power.
"Don't count on it. Negi lets show them how out matched they really are."
