(Welcome back authors to my next chapter that will leave you amazed. I hope you enjoy it. I think you will.)
Adnan: In case you didn't get your answer from anybody I know someone from YouTube who has the rest of the Negima drama series. The name is nykydie1919. It's hard to find the vids put up because they're written in Japanese and come up as squares on browsers who can't translate. And also those vids don't have subtitles like the first batch you found. But I watch them and make up my own quotes based on their actions. Hope it helps
One morning Negi was in the student cafeteria having tea until Dustin ran over, "Negi! Negi!" he came to a halt, "There you are I've been looking all over for you."
"Dustin what's up?" Negi asked.
"I've just found the thing we've been waiting for, something that's been on my mind since we came to Japan."
"And that would be?"
"This." He showed him an article in the paper.
"Hmm, Animepocalypse this weekend."
"Yes, an actual anime con in Japan. You and I have to attend this thing, we hardly ever get to enjoy such things."
"It does sound fun." Negi admitted.
"Oh yeah. Especially since they have the cosplay catwalk; an event where cosplayers can show off their stuff. We have cosplay for this."
"But as what?" Negi asked.
"I got a plan, but it will require the aid of one of our students." Dustin grinned.
"Do I dare ask?" Negi asked worriedly.
The next day in class Negi and Dustin gave their usual lesson and the girls just acted like… themselves. When the bell rang the girls started collecting their things.
"Before you all go I have something to say… Ms Hasegawa." Negi called out taking everyone by surprise as they looked at Chisame who was equally shocked.
"What? Me?" she asked.
"Yes, Negi and I want to have a word with you today at your dorm room. It is of the utmost importance that we meet with you." Dustin said seriously while Chisame didn't know what to make.
"Uh, ok."
"Good, we'll see you then." Negi said as the boys left.
Chisame noticed the girls were about to bombard her with questions, but as quick as a flash she bolted and escaped, "What was that all about? What could they want with me? Oh no, what if they want to broadcast my secret worldwide? I'll be a laughing stock!" she feared, "I'll have to find out today."
That afternoon Negi, Dustin, and Zyphon walked through the dorms hallways until they stood before Chisame's dorm room. Negi knocked on the door as Dustin spoke, "Chisame, it's me and Negi."
"Come in," her voice said from inside the room. Negi opened the door and the two stepped into the dark room, "Close the door." She ordered as the English boy did so.
"Jeez get some light in here why don't you?" Dustin asked turning on a light as they saw Chisame had her computer, backdrops, and lights covered up, "Why cover all that stuff up when we already know?"
"I don't take any chances." Chisame warned them.
"Girl you seriously are too sensitive about what people think about you." Dustin said.
"Alright let's not talk about me, what do you boys need me for?"
"Well you see the thing is Chisame, Dustin and I will be attending Animepocalypse this weekend, and we've decided to cosplay. But putting together costumes isn't our field, and we require someone who knows a thing or more on fashion and design. There enters you."
"Whoa, I focus mostly on girl get ups, not guy's attire." Chisame warned them.
"Don't worry, you wouldn't do it alone, Zyphon will also assist you in the more complicated stuff while you focus on the design." Dustin explained.
"And what's in it for me?" Chisame crossed her arms.
"For one thing, you'd get more reassurance we wouldn't tell anybody what you do for a living which personally I don't think it's something to be embarrassed about." Negi began making Chisame cringe.
"But I brought in something to sweeten the deal," Dustin added pulling out a fashion magazine, "You know what this is?"
Chisame's eyes widened, "That's an issue of Fashion Dynamite."
"Yes, this is the monthly one," Dustin explained, "Aria's mother is the head of this fashion company and therefore Aria has exclusive access to the magazine editions before they're published worldwide. I thought you may want a head start on the new trends before anyone else knows."
Chisame looked ready to burst into Chiu mode but kept her calm demeanor, "You really found my weak spot, I commend you on that Dustin-sensei. So what do you boys have in mind for cosplaying?"
"We want to go, as these guys." Dustin showed the girl a picture.
Chisame looked at the picture curiously, "Well this certainly isn't my expertise but is Zyphon is going to help me, I think maybe I can pull this off."
"So we have a deal?" Negi asked as he and Dustin put their hands together expecting her to as well.
Chisame looking at both of them seeing what she was getting out of this just couldn't ignore it and put her hand on theirs, "Deal."
"Perfect," Dustin smiled, "Zyphon assist the lady will you?"
"Of course master Dustin." Zyphon bowed his head.
So within two day Chisame and Zyphon had been working together putting together the costumes the two boys requested them to construct for them. Then on Saturday the girls were gathering in the hall of the dorms eager to see what was going to happen as Chisame stood before her doorway and opened it revealing to be dark inside.
"Presenting their very first time in cosplay, I give you Daizyujin!" Chisame announced in a dull fashion. Stepping out into the clear stood one of the boys dressed up as Daizyujin the mecha from the sentai Zyuranger. The costume appeared to have made from cardboard, but the details and paint looked very authentic like it was the real thing.
"Wow." The girls gasped.
"Awesome!" Kazumi said taking pictures of the cosplaying boy which remained unknown to the girls.
Chisame cleared her throat and continued, "And accompanying him is his loyal partner and allie Dragon Caesar!"
Exiting Chisame's room was one of the boys dressed as Dragon Caesar from Zyuranger, and much like the Daizyujin costume it was made from cardboard but the paint and details was practically authentic as the real mecha. The two cosplay boys approached each other and faced the girls striking poses.
"They look so cute!" Sakurako squealed.
"But which is which?" Kakizaki wondered.
Answering her question Daizyujin removed his head revealing to be the helmet and under it was Negi with his hair flowing. Dragon Caesar's mouth opened up revealing Dustin's face.
"So girls what do you think?" Dustin asked.
"You boys look just amazing!" Kazumi said taking pictures of the boys together.
"It's a wonder you two are able to move wearing all that." Ako noted.
"While the cardboard made be a bit heavy it's not all that bad." Negi admitted.
"Yeah," Dustin chuckled until he glanced around back seeing Fuka and Fumika were playing with his tail, "Easy on the drill tail girls, don't wanna lose a hand." He chuckled.
Fumika took her hands off in worry while Fuka spoke, "Come on Fumika he was joking, this tail ain't real."
"I knew that." Fumika pouted.
Kaede and Mana approached, "You boys look very convincing." Kaede said.
"I admit, you boys look like you could actually be these mechas." Mana added.
"Thanks, well girls we'd love to stay but we got a date with a con." Dustin said putting the mouth of his costume back up while Negi put his costume's helmet back on.
Negi turned to Dustin, "Dragon Caesar we must hurry."
"Agreed Daizyujin!" Dustin answered as the two walked off like stomping into battle.
Haruna drooled, "If they could look this good as cosplaying mechas imagine how much hotter they'd look wearing other stuff."
"Haruna, get those thoughts out of your head." Yue warned her while the cowlick girl just giggled.
Soon Negi and Dustin stood outside a convention center where the con was being held at, "Well Negi, this is it. You nervous?"
"A little."
"Don't worry we'll fit in fine, now come on." Dustin said as the two marched in.
Upon entering the two looked around in shock for it had everything they envisioned a con to look like. There were banners hanging, posters on the walls, booths, stands, activities, fans, and cosplayers alike swarming the place.
"Holy crack!" Dustin gasped.
"This is amazing." Negi gasped.
"Well what're we waiting for Negi, let's mingle." Dustin encouraged his pal as the two started marching catching many con-goers attention.
"Whoa, check those two out!" a teen boy cosplaying as Hellsing gasped.
"Now those are costumes!" another teen boy dressed as a Keyblader added.
"They're so cute." A Sailor Moon dressed girl put in.
"Hey you two, can I get a picture of you boys?" a girl dressed in gothic Lolita maid asked.
"Sure how about by the fountain here?" Dustin asked motioning to the fountain.
"Works for me," She said as Negi and Dustin stood before the fountain striking a pose as the girl took a picture with her camera, "Thanks guys, this one's going in the album."
"You're welcome." Negi said.
"Negi I tell ya I've died and gone to heaven. I've never seen so many guys in costumes without being judged. An anime convention is truly where I belong."
"Yes you've been saying that ever since we were little." Negi reminded him as they continued to stop by various stands seeing merchandise and hand made stuff alike.
"Oh man, you cannot find any of these CD's in any store in New York." Dustin said as he was checking out some anime CD's.
"Hey you there Daizyujin!" a boy dressed up as Goblin called to Negi.
"Um yes, can I help you?" Negi asked.
"Yeah, I want your friend here to record me and you pretending we're fighting." The boy said handing Dustin a video camera.
"Pretend to fight?" Negi asked.
"Yeah like we're part of the actual series, think you can do that?"
"Well, ok." Negi agreed.
"Awesome!" the boy said as Dustin started filming them pretending they were in an actual fight like the sentai only they weren't throwing any real punches or kicks. Gathering around were multiple con-goers who enjoyed the role playing fight.
"Squash em Daizyujin!"
"Knock him out!"
Negi pretended to throw one final punch at the Goblin and said cosplayer pretended to be defeated. Negi thrusted his arms up in victory as the fans cheered. Negi helped the guy up as he spoke, "That was awesome, thanks for footage."
"No problem." Negi replied.
"Now then, Dragon Caesar would you do the same?"
"Delighted." Dustin replied as he took a position as another con-goer started filming them role play fight as well. Dustin pretended to swing his lifeless tail by the guy's legs and he pretended to be tripped.
"Good move Caesar, but try some of this!" The Goblin said pretending to throw a punch at Dustin who pretended to take the hit hard and stepped backwards.
"Well check these affects out." Dustin said as the red orbs on his chest started beeping. He then held out his fingers as they also started beeping as if missiles were being fired from them.
The Goblin pretended to fall to the ground as if he was really hit. He then got up and spoke, "Man who did your costume?"
"I know a friend." Dustin answered.
The two continued their role playing fight until Dustin pretended to land a finishing blow and the Goblin admitted defeat. The fans cheered again as the Goblin got up and spoke, "Thanks guy, my friends are so gonna wanna see this footage." He left.
"We're a hit Negi." Dustin said to his pal.
"I didn't know we'd be this good." Negi admitted.
"Come on, we got a lot more to cover." Dustin said as they continued on.
So the boys continued exploring the convention popping in on various panels of certain special guests from voice actors to sword specialists. They would also stop and converse with other fans complimenting them on their outfits. They then stopped by a photographer who was taking actual pictures of cosplayers by a backdrop. They offered to pose for some pictures and were promised to get some shots of them delivered by mail once they were developed.
Negi and Dustin then spotted a room with the sign 'karaoke' next to it, "Hey Negi, let's karaoke."
"Ok." Negi said as the two went into the room and watched various others do karaoke.
The two went on stage and took a mike each while Dustin picked out a song, "Ah here it is, alright Negi it's time."
"I'm with you." Negi assured as they music played and they began singing the theme song for the Zyuranger sentai.
The fans applauded and whistled on their performance as the two threw their arms up in victory. As the boys left the stage they started high fiving various con-goers who were impressed by their singing.
Later they were at the snack bar enjoying some food while they had their head costumes off their heads so they could eat, "Well Negi, didn't I say coming here was a great idea?"
"And you were right; this place has been a lot of fun." Negi agreed as he took a bite out of a burger.
"And it's gonna get better by tonight, at the con's rave!" Dustin added until he looked over and spotted a teenage girl with long red hair and wearing black boots, black leg stockings, a black short sleeved sailor fuku, red neck tie, a fake black devil tail attached to the back of her skirt, black devil wings on her back, and two small black devil horns.
"Dustin?" Negi asked.
"Negi get a load of that girl there." Dustin said as Negi looked over at said girl and gasped.
"Dustin, isn't that Chisame?'
"It is, I recognize that face without her glasses anywhere." He noted.
"She was coming here anyway?" Negi asked.
"What's say we ask her?" Dustin asked as they agreed and placed their helmets back on.
Chisame looked around and thought, 'Man this place is paradise. I can mingle with people who love dressing up just like me, and the best part is no one form class is here or would recognize me.'
"Chisame."
The girl jumped before spinning around seeing her Profs, "Guys!" she gasped.
"What're you doing here?" Dustin asked.
"It's not what you think really!" Chisame waved her arms around as the boys looked at each other sighing.
"Chisame, relax." Negi said as she stopped flailing around.
Dustin spoke, "As I've said before you are too sensitive about what other people think of you. You think anybody's gonna think less of you if you attend a place like this? And if someone does have a problem with it then that's their problem not yours."
"But I…"
"Dustin's right Chisame, don't be afraid of who you really are. You are who you want to be, not what some people expect you to be." Negi added.
"Sensei…" Chisame gasped seeing these two spoke the truth and were actually able to get through to her. For the first time she adorned a genuine smile, "Thanks guys."
"So where were you off to?" Negi asked.
"Well I was thinking of going for the cosplay catwalk contest." She admitted.
"So were we. Hey why don't we go together?" Dustin suggested.
"Sure." Chisame said as the three headed off.
Soon in one room cosplayers of all sorts were walking around on a catwalk displaying their costumes ranging from all sorts of animes and sentais. Behind the curtain were the three who watched others go on when they were called.
"Wow so many life like costumes, these guys really know how to put stuff together." Dustin said.
"The competition sure looks tough." Negi said.
"No kidding, sometimes I wonder if it's worth going out there." Chisame said.
"Hey you never know unless you give it a try Chisame." Dustin reminded her.
"That's right." Negi agreed.
"You got a point." Chisame admitted until they heard the announcer call.
"Coming up next for the first time here at Animepocalypse the Guardian Beast Gods themselves Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar cosplayed by Negi Springfield and Dustin Bowers!"
The fans cheered as Negi and Dustin march onto the catwalk and showed off their stuff with Dustin activating the light up orbs on his torso. They continued showing off for the crowds and judges as fans took pictures of them.
"Yes, aren't they fabulous? Work that stuff Guardians!" the announcer called, "Give them a big round of applause!"
Negi and Dustin pumped their arms up one final time before going backstage, "Wow did you hear those claps?" Dustin asked.
"They really like us." Negi added.
"Not bad you two, you'll probably make first place for sure." Chisame said.
"Ya never know, you could also have a shot." Dustin said.
"Yeah right." Chisame said with doubts.
"And finally our last contestant Chisame Hasegawa as Biblion Enemy-Commander Biblio Roulin Rouge!" the announcer called.
"That's your cue Chisame." Negi said.
"Get out there!" Dustin nudged her.
"Alright, don't push." She said as she walked onto the catwalk and showed off her stuff.
As she walked around the catwalk the boys were hooting and hollering in awe from her beauty while Chisame blushed from near embarrassment. She would also hear comments about how hot and gorgeous she looked which got her fueled to continue to show off.
"Yes, isn't she beautiful ladies and gentlemen, what a doll!" the announcer called.
Soon she went backstage as everyone waited for the judges to tally up their votes. Once they were all tallied the announcer went back to the stage, "Well folks the votes are in, and within seconds we will find out this years winner in Animepacolypse's cosplay catwalk contest!"
"Oh this is it." Dustin said in anticipation.
"And the first place in the contest goes to…" The announcer pulled a slip of paper out of an envelope and announced, "Chisame Hasegawa as Biblion Enemy-Commander Biblio Roulin Rouge!"
The fans roared with applause while Chisame looked lost for words as did the boys, "Me?" she gasped.
"Yes it was you Chisame." Negi nodded.
"Well go on, get out there." Dustin nudged her and she went on stage accepting her small golden statue award.
"And coming in second place the duo of Negi Springfield and Dustin Bowers as Daizyujin and Dragon Caesar!" the announcer called.
Hearing their names Negi and Dustin went back onto the stage each accepting a silver second place mini trophy. The three threw their arms up in victory as their fans cheered them on.
That night inside one room was the Rave where a DJ was playing remixes while lights were flashing around as the con-goers were dancing and partying. Even Negi and Dustin were busting the moves out as best they could due to wearing cardboard and all.
"That's right Negi, do the robot!" Dustin called as Negi and Dustin did the dance move.
Negi looked over seeing Chisame just sitting. He went to the girl holding out his hand, "Come on Chisame it's a party."
"I don't know, dancing isn't my thing." She said.
"Don't worry just go with it and have fun," Negi said pulling her out of her seat, "Besides, looking at everyone here, no one can tell who can or cannot dance."
"Oh alright." Chisame said as she joined the boys as they continued dancing.
"Thanks for the costumes once again Chisame." Dustin said.
"And thank you for joining me in the cosplay contest." She said.
"You may not act like a social person Chisame, but deep down you're a good person." Negi said.
"Well thanks I suppose, just don't tell anyone from class you met me here."
"We won't we'll leave that up to you." Dustin said with a chuckle as the three continued to enjoy themselves.
Soon they returned back to the dorms and each left for their separate room. Negi entered his room yawning, "Evening Kaede, Chamo."
"Welcome back Negi." Kaede greeted him while lying on her bed.
"Aniki, so how was it, see any hotties in costume?" Chamo asked his pal who removed his helmet and started undoing the rest of his costume.
"It was fantastic Chamo." Negi admitted.
"Well I'm glad you had fun." Kaede smiled.
"Thank you, next time you'll have to join me."
"I'd love to." She replied.
Dustin then entered his room seeing Mana polishing her guns, Zazie juggling while Domino was flirting with Zazie's canary, "Evening everybody."
"Welcome back Dustin, how was the con?" Mana asked.
"Amazing, conventions are far greater than what I expected them to be," Dustin said removing his helmet but struggled to get the rest off, "Uh little help here."
Mana giggled, "Come on Zazie." She said as the two started removing the rest of his costume.
"Man that feels good, but I need a shower I'm sweating." Dustin said and found Zazie next to him.
"I'll join you."
"Ok, how about you Mana?"
"You two go on ahead." She said as they headed for the bathroom.
Domino watched spoke to the gunslinger, "You're not joining them, you're gonna let Zazie gain an advantage in his attention you know."
"I wouldn't say that, after all there are other ways to gain his attention." She smiled.
(And that's the chapter. Negi and Dustin sure had fun at the convention even with Chisame of all people. I don't own any other animes or such mentioned or the mecha characters names. See you all next time.)
