Hoo boy...things really hit the fan didn't they?

Here's hoping Negi-kun can pick up the slack!

18th period.

Half-way across the campus town Genkai froze, a shiver racing up her spine as she stared in mild concern at the teacup that had shattered in her hand. "Genkai-shihan!" Yukina called out, looking over at the psychic in concern, the candlelight making the Koorime's ruby orbs dance, "Are you alright?"

"Just fine dear." Genkai assured her, looking up at the darkened campus with a concerned scowl 'It's that dimwitted suitor of yours I'm worried about.'

With Negi...

"The pitch black dorms are pretty scary, huh Chamo-kun?" Negi opined, walking along with his vermin-ermine partner. Ever since Albert Chamomile had turned up that day in the springs the young Magi had taken him up as a familiar, though the rodent's tastes left much to be desired for a proper English gentleman. He blinked as he felt the ermine go rigid, noting the way his tail stood out in fear like a living duster "What's wrong?"

"Aniki!" the ermine called out "Can't you feel that strange magical power in the air? It appeared the second the power went out!"

"Really?" Negi wondered, looking around the darkened fottpath with understandable concern "Do you think it's a ghoul or something?"

"I have no idea just what it is but it's something big!" Chamo replied, holding up a paw for emphasis "And I'd bet the crown jewels it's that Evangeline person!"

"B-but she's already changed her evil ways!" Negi replied, recalling how the girl had turned up in his class that morning, and how cheerful Kuwabara had been dropping her off.

"That's why I told you we're being soft!" Chamo insisted, looking to the sides warily for lolita vampires "There's no way she's just gonna give up that easily!"

"Negi Springfield…" a voice called out, drawing the startled duo's attention to a naked Sasaki Makie, who grinned at them, a single fang glinting at them "Evangeline challenges you to battle…come to the main bathhouse in ten minutes."

"Aniki!" Chamo called out, pointing at the girl from his mortified friend's shoulder "Evangeline bit her! She's put her in a thrall!"

"See ya Negi-kun!" the enthralled gymnast chirped, back-flipping over the rail, giving the boy a rather interesting view, before using her ribbon to swing across the rooftops like a deranged, giggling acrobat from hell, leaving the stunned ten-year old gaping.

"Call in Ane-san!" Chamo insisted, snapping the mage out of his daze "Your only hope is the probationary contract with Asuna!"

Negi whipped out his cell phone, staring at it for a few minutes before snapping it shut with a determined gaze. "Forget it Chamo-kun, I'm taking her down myself!"

"Wha-Has this blackout left you completely in the dark?" Chamo shot back, fur standing on edge as he watched the boy haul out a sack he'd apparently stashed behind a wall, strapping on an impressive assortment of magical weapons and catalysts "Aniki, slow down! It doesn't matter what weapons you're packing, you can't beat Evangeline on your own! Slow down and think it over!"

"I did think it over and this is the result!" Negi yelled back at the ermine as they took off on the wand "I wont risk Asuna-san to solve my problem!"

"If Eva and Chachamaru eradicate you it'll be the WORLD'S problem!" Chamo insisted, trying to make his friend see reason "At least CALL Ane-san!" At Negi's yelled refusal he leapt off the mage's shoulder "Fine! You want on your own? You GOT on your own! I'm going for help!"

As Chamo scarpers...

Negi watched the ermine run off with a relieved sigh. Chamo was many things, pervert included, but a warrior he was not, all it would take is a misplaced spell and his friend would be a fur collar. He could tell as he got closer that Evangeline's magic was vastly superior to that of the girl he'd faced several nights ago, it was like comparing a ripple to a tsunami.

"Evangeline-san!" he called out, bursting into the bathhouse with a yell, noting the doors seemed to have been torn off their hinges "Where are you? Please release Makie-san!"

"Over here boya!" a voice called out, chuckling darkly as magical light lit the room, revealing Makie, Yuna, Akira, Ako and Chachamaru decked out in maid uniforms, posing around a sensual woman in a leather dress and choker, golden tresses falling around her like a waterfall "So you're here without a partner?" the woman noticed, smirking coyly "Is this Bravery? Stupidity? Or perhaps a bit of both?" she smiled at the intense look on the boy's face "Problem?"

"Yeah!" Negi replied, gripping his staff before him "Who are you and where is Evangeline?"

The woman stumbled, growling as she canceled her glamour, revealing herself to be the chibi-vampire, decked out in a black nightdress "I'M EVANGELINE YOU LITTLE TWIT!" she snapped, blushing in embarrassment, before getting herself under control "Sorry I couldn't wait for the full moon," she drawled "But I figured why wait it out when I could suck it out. 'It' meaning your blood."

"And you dragged Yuna, Akira Makie and Ako into it." Negi noted, face settling in determination "But I can't let you do that," he promised "I'm here to stop you, and to keep you from hurting anyone else!"

"Tough talk." Eva shot back, snapping her fingers and pointing at the instantly on edge mage with a coy smirk , "You go girls."

"Hiding behind helpless classmates?" Negi called out, backtracking as the enthralled girls moved towards him through the water "You're cruel!"

"Cruel?" Eva repeated, chuckling coyly as she tilted her head to the side "Is that what you said? Well I am an evil wizard." She smirked at the boy like a predator "I'll make you regret, coming here alone." She help up a hand "First things first: Strip him."

"NOT AGAIN!" Negi wailed as the girls fell upon him, lifting him off his feet and stripping him of his armaments and coat, giggling and pawing at him all the while. "HANDS OFF MY WAND!" he called out, though considering the circumstances this could refer to the staff Makie had wrestle out of his hand or a certain part of his anatomy he was desperately trying to keep his pants pulled over "Sorry about this!" he called out, grabbing a catalyst phial and tossing it into the air "FLANS EXARMATIO!"

Ako and Akira screamed as the catalyst detonated, shredding their clothes and leaving them standing dazed, allowing Negi to roll aside and grab his staff on solid ground. "Rastel Maskil Magister!" the welshman called out "Aer et aqua, facti nebula illis somnum brevem! Nebula Hypnotica!"

Yuna and Makie leapt aside just as the sleep inducing fog enveloped their denuded comrades, Ako and Akira slumping against Negi in a daze as he set them gently on the ground amidst a chattering of bats as Evangeline summoned her cloak, setting Chachamaru on the boy as she summoned her magic.

"Lic Lac La Lac Lillac." The undying magi called out, "Septendecim Spiritus Glaciales, inimicum concidant!" she smirked as Negi dodged the attacks whilst making for the wall window "I don't think so! SAGITTA MAGICA: SERIES GLACIALIS!"

Seventeen icicles launched themselves at Negi, who just barely managed to throw himself out the window, only for the bedamned things to follow him like homing missiles. Flipping upright he swung himself onto his staff, taking potshots at the projectiles with his spell gun whilst simultaneously avoiding hazards.

With Eva...

"A magic gun?" Evangeline noted, gripping her cape as she flew after the boy "That's pretty rare…to bad he's out of ammunition." She smirked "Still, where'd he get the money to equip himself like that? Should I ask him before or after I drain him?"

Negi, meanwhile, had run into a little interference in the shape of a vampiric Makie and Yuna, the former using her ribbon to latch onto his staff and swing herself up, before kicking out at him, giving the mage a panty shot that many would die for, the boy's attempts at dodging resulting in the loss of the few weapons and catalysts he'd managed to hold on to.

Yuna kept up the pace from below, launching basketballs at them with the force of a cannon, Negi deflected some with his barrier and hands but Makie had no such luck and was therefore left in a daze as they passed under a flag, the thick fabric knocking her off the staff and falling with her on top of a startled Yuna.

Negi winced as the two girls' heads cracked together from the fall, promising to fix them up just as Evangeline's laughter cut through the air.

Elsewhere...

Genkai scowled as she listened to the noise outside with trepidation. There were wards in place on the dorms to prevent the sound of magical battle from reaching the wrong ears, she knew that well, but even so the power flying through the air should have alerted anyone with an inkling of sixth sense to the scene. Kuwabara had a fair deal more than an 'inkling' in regards to sixth sense, with only his sister Shizuru surpassing it, and she was no combatant.

'So just where is that lunkhead?' the aged psychic muttered, grimacing as another magical explosion shook the air outside like something out of a warzone 'For that matter, why can't I sense his presence?'

Mahora Bridge...

"NIVIS CASUS!" Evangeline chanted, an explosion of sending Negi flying, only his barrier keeping the poor ten-year-old afloat, a light skin of frost covering his skin and clothes.

'She's too strong for me to match her in pure power.' He muttered, breathing heavily at having to block the rapid-fire spells the vampire was launching at him as his face settled into a determined frown "But if I can lure her to the right place-!'

"Where are you running to?" Eva laughed, "Hoping to hole up somewhere so you can recite spell? Not likely!"

Negi wailed as stalagmites burst out from the bridge beneath him, sending him head over heels as he fell off his staff, crashing into the ground on his shoulder.

"Method to madness." Evangeline noted, touching down several feet away "The curse prevents me from passing beyond the academy city bridge." She smirked at him "Hoping to escape across the bridge sensei? Very clever…albeit extremely cowardly of course."

Negi grimaced at the words, watching as the duo advanced on him, gripping his staff determinedly. 'Keep walking' he noted, watching Evangeline's feet as she made her way toward him like a cat in a cream factory 'Just one more step…NOW!'

Evangeline balked as a magical array appeared beneath her, strands of light lashing out and restraining her and Chachamaru like the finest flytrap paper. 'And we walked right into it!' the vampire seethed, struggling against the magical strands indignantly. To be tricked into one of the oldest traps in the book by a ten year-old? She needed to get out of this place!

Negi's crowing over his apparent 'victory' wasn't helping the vampire's legendary temper any either. "I've won, admit it!" Negi insisted, pointing his staff at her excitedly "Now surrender and swear a wizard's oath to cease all wrong-doing forever!"

Eva smirked, a little intrigued by his bravado, considering how well he'd played her. He hadn't been dodging needlessly; he must have set this up in advance before coming. "Well played kid." She noted, "Color me impressed." Then she started laughing, unnerving the once confident boy.

"W-what's so funny?" Negi demanded nervously, waving his staff "This spell is far too powerful for you to escape and you know it!"

"Powerful?" Evangeline repeated, that coy smirk of hers firmly in place "Yes. Escape-proof? No." she nodded toward her partner "Do it."

"Beginning execution of the spell release program." The gynoid announced, her ears opening up to reveal several different arrays "My apologies, Negi-sensei."

Negi could only watch in abject horror as the spell bonds lost their glow, the magic draining out of them at an accelerated pace and cracking as Evangeline snorted. "I've had fifteen years of this lousy existence to plan for all eventualities boy." The vampire scoffed, regarding him coyly "You seriously think I didn't consider this one?" she shrugged as the spell shattered "So much for that."

"YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" Negi yelped, backtracking fearfully as he attempted to put some much needed, not to mention desired, distance between himself and the duo, attempting his activation key, only for Chachamaru to dash forwards and relieve him of his staff, which Evangeline hurled over the side. "NOOOO!" the boy wailed, sobbing as he gazed over the side of the bridge "How could you? GIMME BACK MY WAND! YOU DON'T GET TO CHEAT ME OUT OF MY LEGITIMATE VICTORY!"

Evangeline twitched at the boy's childishness, watching as Chachamaru held him back with one hand, before delivering a smack to the cheek that knocked him off his feet. "Accept your defeat like a man!" she snapped, pointing at him for emphasis "Admit you're outsmarted and you lost! Even your father, whom I despise, would just laugh at his setbacks and overcome them!"

She regarded the blurry-eyed form before her and sighed, relenting somewhat as she kneeled down before him "Still, you did well today boya." She admitted, "Going solo was reckless but gutsy." She opened her mouth, revealing her fangs with a hiss "Well then, I'll just suck your blood if you don't mind."

Negi minded very much, but he highly doubted Evangeline cared for his opinion at the moment. Chachamaru's was another matter however. "Mistress." The gynoid noted concernedly, a hand raised as if toobject "Negi-sensei is only ten years old, don't you think you're being a little cruel?"

"Don't worry I'm not going to kill him." The vampire replied, making a comment about killing little girls, before smiling coyly at the scared boy before her "Let's just say I've started to take an interest in the boy-eh?"

"HEY YOU!" Asuna bellowed, running across the bridge towards them, Chamo over her shoulder and a VERY irate scowl on her face "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"

"Well look who's here." Evangeline noted, recalling the only person to kick her in the face with a smirk, before nodding to her partner "Chachamaru."

The Gynoid dashed forwards, ready to incapacitate the redhead when Asuna hurled something between them. A burst of light blinded everyone facing it, Chachamaru stumbling forward as her optics tried to reset themselves to prevent damage, allowing Asuna to dash past. "You're challenging me?" Eva noted, smirking coyly as she held out a hand to blast the insolent wench "Don't make me laugh!"

Asuna's flying kick connecting with the vampire's cheek didn't feel very funny. If anything it hurt more than the last time.

'Again!' the vampiress swore as she flew through the air 'She broke through my barrier again!' she righted herself, hissing angrily only to find that her opponents had vanished "ARGH! Where'd they go?" she snarled, ignoring Chachamaru's apology and concern for her nose, only to whip round as a burst of magical light arose behind them "OVER THERE!"

Negi, Asuna and Chamo stepped into view, staring up at the duo as they hovered in midair. Evangeline smirked, crossing her arms across her chest. "So what's the deal kid?" she taunted "Relieved because now you can hide behind your girlfriend's skirts?"

"Ignore her Negi!" Asuna countered pointing at the vampire with a confident smirk "She's just afraid of a fair, two-on-two equal fight!"

"Fair?" Evangeline noted, regarding the scene with a smirk "Is that the word you used?" she chuckled darkly "From what I can see there are three of you over there, and only two of us," she held up her hand "mind if I even the odds?"

"Gonna call out another student to shield you?" Negi shot back, only to shiver at the look on the dark magi's face as she snapped her fingers "Lets go! Contract valid for 90 seconds! Kagurazaka Asuna!"

Asuna dashed forwards, wondering why Chachamaru wasn't doing the same, only to shriek as something crashed down right in front of her, knocking her off her feet. She glared up at the figure, only to blanch as the dust cleared, gaping at it along with Negi as the face came into view.

"K-KUWABARA-SENSEI?"

It was indeed Kuwabara, but a little different than the last time anyone had seen him. The man was decked out in what looked like butler attire, a black waistcoat over a black pinstriped shirt with a black silk tie, a silver chain, probably for a pocket-watch, extended from the waistcoat to the pocket of his black trousers. His smart looking black shoes stood atop the crater he'd created with his landing, eyes set into a flinty scowl.

"Surprised sensei?" Evangeline noted, "You seem to have problems with me using students, will a faculty member be a better choice?"

"Kuwabara-san!" Negi called out, looking between the man and the vampire in desperate confusion "How…why did you do this to him!"

"The how should be self-explanatory by now." Eva quipped, lifting her lip to reveal an ivory fang "As for why? Well," she shrugged "I was hungry." She snapped her fingers "Butler? Take out the trash."

Kuwabara didn't reply, he merely launched himself forwards at impressive speeds, Asuna yelping as she leapt out of reach of his grab, only to wince as his finger tapped her arm.

'YIPES! Only a tap and it felt like he punched me!' she thought, backtracking to a safe distance, wincing as she felt her upper arm bruise 'What'd it be like if he-!'

Her eyes widened as Chachamaru lunged at Negi, whirling round to face the gynoid only for Kuwabara's shadow to appear between them. The classmates looked up to see the enthralled science teacher descending on them like some wrathful deity with his fist drawn back, leaping aside just as it impacted with the bridge.

BOOM!

Asuna's scream tore through the air, the shockwave from the blow causing her pigtails to fly behind her as she blocked her face to keep the debris out of it

With Eva...

Evangeline sweat dropped, staggering as the bridge shook from the force of the blow, her spell canceling mid-incantation. 'Okay…maybe making him a mindless lackey was mistake.' She noted, wincing as the bridge moaned ominously 'But with that sixth sense of his I couldn't risk him regaining control mid-fight.' She rose off the ground, eyeing the damage to the bridge in trepidation 'as it stands he's at less than half strength overall, probably even less because of that weird barrier restricting his ability to draw on it properly…'

She shivered as one of the support beams groaned and cracked, Kuwabara's punches effectively dismantling the structure. 'Glad I'm not limited to the ground anymore.' She muttered, raising an eyebrow as Negi's chanting caught her attention. 'Heh, trying something when my guards down boya? Not very gentlemanly of you.'

"Rastel Maskil Magister!" Negi called out, wind and thunder energies whirling around him "Veniant Spiritus Aeriales Fulgurientes!"

"Lic Lac La Lac Lilac!" Evangeline countered with a smirk "Veniant Spiritus Glaciales Obscurants!" She giggled at his look of shock, only to smirk as it set into one of rigid determination.

"Cum Fulgurationi Flet Tempestas Austrina!" the welsh magician called out, the magical energies charged to capacity "JOVIS TEMPESTAS FULGURIENS!"

"Cum Obscurationi Flet Tempestas Nivalis!" Evangeline countered, darkness and cold enveloping the air around as she leveled her hand at the boy "NIVIS TEMPESTAS OBSCURANS!"

The clashing of the two spells was a clashing of the elements themselves. Wind and thunder raged against darkness and ice, magical shrapnel flying through the air. Normally such a confrontation would have had everyone gaping in awe, but the majority of Mahora's citizens were currently indoors, either asleep or passing the night away in various activities, and the only remaining witness were otherwise occupied.

With Asuna...

Asuna panted for breath as she dodged a punch from Kuwabara-sense that would have crippled her or worse. Chachamaru had made the mistake of trying to tag-team the girl alongside the sensei earlier, only to be sent flying as a punch collided with her midsection, the sound of cracking metal heralding the gynoid's flight into one of the arches, where she lay deactivated.

'At the very least it isn't two on one anymore!' Asuna rationalized, her uniform in shreds and a little unnerved at how Kuwabara-sensei's features hadn't changed in the slightest "Are we sure Chachamaru's the robot?' the redhead called out frantically to a stunned Chamo "'Cause he may not be Schwarzenegger but Sakurako's terminator theory's seeming a lot more credible right now!"

"Ane-san! To the right!" Chamo called out, holding on for dear life as Asuna leapt into the air, Kuwabara's punch shattering the patch of bridge she'd been standing on "Holy! Where'd they find this guy?"

"Does it really matter?" Asuna yelled, tearing up comically as she flipped backwards, putting some distance between them as she kept the enthralled instructor busy. A sudden surge of magical energy knocked them all off their feet as Negi somehow overpowered Evangeline's Dark Blizzard, the backlash crashing into the Dark Evangel.

"Think that did it?" Chamo wondered, only to sweatdrop as the mist cleared, revealing Evangeline hovering in Mid-air, and not much else "Damn, she really lives up to her title doesn't she?"

A series of beeps sounded out from the previously comatose form of Chachamaru, the gynoid reactivating with a jolt, a look of alarm on her face just as the first set of lights flickered on "Power is being restored precisely 7 minutes 27 seconds ahead of schedule!" she announced, looking up at her master in concern "MISTRESS!"

"Eva-san!" Asuna yelped, watching as the dark wizard let out a pained shriek, as if struck by the world's largest bug-zapper, before falling headfirst towards the lake. The redhead saw Negi leap over the rail, only to blink as a figure in black blurred past her "Eh?"

'Fool.' Evangeline muttered, watching as Negi fell towards her with a deadpan expression 'He burned up all his magic back there, he'll die with me.' She smiled grimly as she recalled another fool that helped her, despite the earnings she'd given him, how she'd followed him across the globe and back, until her imprisonment here…

A small hand wrapped around her wrist, causing her to look up into the desperate face of her homeroom teacher. He called out for his wand, only to blink as a large pair of arms wrapped around them both.

"REIKEN!"

Asuna blinked at the yell, before gaping as the something shot up out of the darkness below, a tall pillar of energy that seemed to bend like a pole vault. Kuwabara was on the other end, a startled Negi and Evangeline held under one arm as he vaulted back onto the bridge, landing with a yelp on his back, the smaller two on his stomach.

"Mistress!" Chachamaru called out, dashing forwards to fuss over the vampire, even as Asuna moved to check on Negi. The wizards in question were staring at their rescuer in shock, as he panted for breath, lying spread-eagled on his back.

"Bungee jumping without a bungee?" Kuwabara gasped, cocking an eyebrow coyly "I thought you were smarter than that bozu." He regarded Eva with an exhausted smile "Daijoubu-da, Eva-chan?"

Evangeline merely gaped at the man in shock, disbelief and confusion marring her features before smiling wistfully. "Baka."
