(Welcome back to another installment readers. I hope you're ready for two surprise characters making their debut.)
The very next morning inside Evangeline's resort, Negi woke up in a bed, "Oh, that was a good sleep," he looked over seeing Evangeline with her arms draped over him, "And I assume she slept like a log."
Evangeline moaned before waking up, and seeing Negi at her side, "Ohayo, Negi."
"Oyaho, Evangeline. I trust you slept well?"
"Are you kidding me? That was best sleep I had in fifteen years. All thanks to you."
"Well I'm glad. Hey, maybe if we leave now I can go tell the boys. They're no doubt still training with Michael." Negi noted.
"Ok." Eva agreed, as they got out of bed and left to get changed.
Once they were dressed, they exited Eva's resort and were back in the cottage, where Chachamaru awaited them, "And how was training?"
"The training was good, but the magic was even better." Eva smirked.
Chachamaru looked at her mistress questionably, "Pardon me, mistress, but you seem rather happier than I've ever seen you. And that's rare."
"Oh, I look happy? Well, as it so happens Negi fulfilled his promise to me." Eva smiled.
"His promise?" Chachamaru asked, before it dawned on her, "Mistress, do you mean to say?"
"Yes, Chachamaru. I'm free from the blasted curse!" the vampire declared.
"Negi-sensei, how did you do it?" the gynoid asked.
"Well, actually." Negi began, only for Chamo to pop up and finish.
"All it took was a little smooch!" he made kissing noises.
Chachamaru's eyes widened as she looked at her mistress, who held her pactio card between her fingers, "Mistress, you are now..."
"Uh-huh."
Chachamaru bowed, "It is wonderful to have you under Negi-sensei's pactio entourage."
"Well come on you two. I want to see the guys tell them the news." Negi said, as they left the cottage and went to find the boys.
Soon they found Dustin, Kotaro, Alistair, and Fate sparing against Michael using his new spirit energy fire power on them, while Rin was watching them. After they finished their spar, they toweled off. Negi approached and called out, "Guys!"
They looked over, as Kotaro spoke, "Negi, there you are!"
"We thought you weren't going to make it?" Fate noted.
"Well, I had plenty of free time after what I needed to do." he admitted.
"And what was that?" Rin asked curiously.
Negi answered, "Well I released Evangeline from the School Hell curse."
"WHAT?!" Dustin shouted in shock.
Rin gasped, "You broke your father's spell?"
"Whoa." Kotaro gasped.
"Unbelievable." Alistair was amazed.
"So that would mean?" Fate looked at the vampire.
"Yes, my full powers are back for good." she smirked.
"Negi, how'd you do it?" Dustin asked.
"Well turns out it was much easier to do than I anticipated. We needed to make a pactio." he answered.
"A pactio?" Kotaro and Dustin gasped.
"Evangeline, you?" Rin asked, as Eva showed her the card.
"Well, this is some good news." Michael chuckled humorously.
"Who else knows about this?" Fate asked.
"Actually just you guys, now." Negi answered.
"Well, the girls are gonna get a kick out of this." Dustin chuckled.
"Indeed." Eva agreed.
"Hey there!" a voice called out, as everyone saw Takamichi approach.
"Takamichi?" Negi asked.
"Negi, Dustin, I've been looking for you guys. The headmaster wants you two at his office right away."
The boys looked at each other as Negi spoke, "I wonder what he wants?"
"Only one way to find out." Dustin flew off with Negi running after him.
"Let's see what this is about." Alistair said, as they others followed them.
When Negi and Dustin reached the academy building, them and their friends headed for the dean's office and knocked on the door, "Come in." the old man's voice was heard.
They entered the door to see the dean at his desk, Shizuna and Zyphon at his side, and Zazie standing next to two others. The first looked like a woman in her thirties who had tan skin, pointed ears, long blonde hair, green eyes. Her attire was a very revealing dress with her top showing off her underboobs. The second girl was actually a twin Zazie only she was wearing a gothic outfit.
"What's going on here?" Dustin asked as he saw the two Zazie's, while Negi and Alistair were awestruck at the tanned woman's appearance.
"Welcome boys, and you all as well," Dean greeted them, "First off let me introduce you all to some guests," he motioned to the pointed eared girl, "This is Queen Theodora of the Hellas Empire."
"Please, call me Theo." the woman known as Theo winked at Negi, who blushed.
Dustin looked to the two Zazie's before speaking, "Zaz, who is this?"
Zazie answered, "This is my twin sister, Poyo. Queen of the Demon Realm."
"A pleasure." the Queen answered in a more serious version of Zazie's voice.
"Poyo?" Dustin asked.
Poyo nodded before approaching the boy, as if annalyzing him, "So you're Dustin Bowers?"
"Uh-huh." he nodded.
"My sister told me about her making a pactio with a spirit warrior, but I had not expected it would be the son of Roswell and Bianca Bowers."
"So you've heard of them too?"
"Yes." she nodded.
Theo looked at Negi squatted down to his level, "Negi Springfield?"
"Uh, that's me." he answered.
Theo blushed, "You really do have Nagi's looks."
Negi gasped, "You know father?"
"I do." she confirmed.
"Who-whoa, back it up people," Kotaro spoke up, "Why would the Queen of Hellas Empire and the the Queen of the demon realm be doing here?"
"We were actually at meeting with King Lucas of the Kingdom of Light." Poyo answered.
"Father?" Rin asked.
"Correct, you see our three kingdom's have been at peace for sometime now, and we held a meeting to further update each other on the progress." Theo explained with a giggle.
"I did not know that." Rin admitted.
"So then why did you come here?" Dustin asked.
"I knew my sister was attending Mahora academy, so I thought I'd pop in and see how she was doing." Poyo answered.
"And I always wanted to see Japan." Theo added.
"Well you two picked a good place to vacation." Alistair answered.
"Thanks." Theo smiled.
"We were wondering if you would be willing to show them around the school and such." Konoe suggested.
"Hey, no problem at all, headmaster." Dustin admitted.
"Yes, we'd love to show them around." Negi agreed.
"Oh, thank you!" Theo cheered, as she embraced Negi, holding his head close to her half exposed breasts, causing him to blush.
Eva rolled her eyes at this sight, "What a child." Kotaro and Dustin looked at her in confusion.
"Why do you say that?" Dustin asked.
"Theodora may look like a full grown adult, but the truth is, she's no older than you boys." she answered bluntly.
"HUH?!" the younger boys minus Fate gasped.
"How's that possible?" Alistair asked.
"You clearly don't know much about the Hellas Empire do you?" Eva asked rhetorically.
Alistair looked sheepish, "Can't say I do."
"Well come on, we have so many friends to introduce you too." Negi said as Theo followed him.
Dustin linked arms with Zazie before offering his to Poyo, who looked at him before following the others. Dustin was confused before Zazie spoke, "Don't mind her. My sister is just sensitive."
"Clearly." Dustin replied, as he and Zazie walked on followed by Zyphon.
Konoe and Shizuna watched them leave as Konoe spoke, "It would be good for Negi and Dustin to get to know Theo and Poyo. After all they may be great allies against the Shadow Master and Diabound."
"I think you're right, headmaster," Shizuna agreed, while watching Negi leave and thought, 'But they're not the only allies the boys have.' she smiled.
Meanwhile at Ragnarok's lair, the Shadow Master was meditating until his eyes flung open. He stood up and entered the main room seeing Thorn and Diabound, "Diabound, do you sense it?"
"I do." he answered.
"What?" Thorn asked.
"Two powerful magical auras have descended upon the land," Ragnarok began, "One of them is demonic."
"And the other has a vast amount of magical energy. If my theory in correct this other is a member of the Hellas royal bloodline." Diabound added.
"What?" Thorn gasped.
"And if such figures have arrived, I will need to bring in some back up." Ragnarok explained.
"How?" The plant lady asked.
"I'm going to partially open the demon portal and let a few demons out of the den." he smirked.
"Open the demon portal?" Diabound asked, "And how can you do that? Even our combined powers cannot keep it open big enough to let out a battalion."
"You're right. Ours alone cannot, but I have someone who does."
"Sir, are you talking about the prisoner?" Thorn gasped.
"Indeed I am."
"What prisoner?" Diabound asked feeling Ragnarok was hiding something very important from him.
"Follow me." Ragnarok said, as the two followed him into a dungeon.
They stopped before a cell seeing a figure sitting crouching in a corner, "Wakey-wakey, sunshine." he mocked.
The figure lifted it's head up to reveal a blonde haired woman with eyes that looked lifeless. Upon seeing her, Diabound gasped, "It can't be!"
"Oh, but it is." Ragnarok smirk.
"How long have you had her here?" Diabound asked suspiciously.
"For a very long time, actually." he answered.
"Why wasn't I informed of this?!" Diabound demanded.
"Would it have mattered if you did know?" Ragnarok questioned him, only for Diabound to frown, "Relax, point is you know now. And her magic is the key to opening the demon realm and release my enforcers. Don't you agree, Queen Arika?" he asked as the woman just looked at him with a lifeless expression.
(And there's the chapter. Shocking isn't it? A visit from two queens, and one very special queen is prisoner of Ragnarok. Don't miss next time readers.)
