(Hi guys. I'm back with my next chapter, as more pactios spring up. Enjoy.)

And so Negi, Dustin, and their entourage was showing Theo and Poyo around the academy. Theo looked around the whole campus in awe, while Poyo remained expressionless.

"This campus is so amazing." Theo gasped.

"We're glad you think so." Konoka smiled.

"It's... interesting." Poyo admitted.

Rin looked at Zazie, "Are you sure you're both related?" the juggler let out a chuckle.

Poyo looked to Dustin, "So you and Negi have been facing the Shadow Master known as Ragnarok?"

"That's right, he's sending goon after goon to fight us. But with our friends at our sides we overcame them." the spike head answered.

"I see."

"As of now we've weakened his forces, and now all he has left are Thorn and Diabound." Mana noted.

"Oh, dear. If Diabound is really aligned with him this really is a problem." Theo gasped.

"Don't I know it." Rin muttered.

"Hey!" a voice called, as they all looked over and saw Shizuna and Shakti.

"Shizuna-sensei?" Kaede asked.

"Sister Shakti?" Kasuga wondered.

"Is something wrong?" Negi asked.

"Not at all, but Shakti and I wanted to see you and Dustin." the bust teacher said.

"Really, about what?" Dustin asked.

Shakti spoke, "Well, we've decided we want to make a pactio with you boys."

There was a moment of pause before both kid teachers, their students, and the boys called, "WHAT?!"

"You want to make pactios with us?" Negi stammered.

"What suddenly brought this on?" Dustin asked in confusion.

"Well, after all that's been happening, we felt you boys could use more additional support." Shizuna explained.

"They already got the vampire in their ranks with her powers restored, how much more could they need?" Kotaro asked.

"Why, thank you." Eva replied.

"I know Negi just made a pactio with Evangeline, but I've always wanted to have one of my own." Shizuna said.

"As do I." Shakti added.

"But Sister Shakti, aren't you dedicated to the lord?" Cocone asked.

"It is merely a pactio, it's not like I intend on marrying Dustin." the older nun explained.

"She does have a point." Mana agreed.

"Well, I love the idea!" Chamo jumped up.

"So do I." Domino added.

"What about you guys?" Chamo asked, as he and the crow looked at their owners.

Negi and Dustin looked at each other, while the rest of their group were curious about that answer. Finally Negi answered Shizuna, "Well, ok. If you really want to."

"Yeha, if you're all right with it." Dustin added.

"Excellent. Let's make some magic." Chamo said, as he and Domino drew up their magic symbols.

So Negi stepped into one with Shizuna crouching down to his level, and in the second seal Shakti crouched down to Dustin's level, "Well Shizuna, I'm ready."

"So am I." she agreed.

"I'm all yours." Dustin told Shakti.

Shakti smiled, "Arigato."

And so the two older faculty members pulled the two younger faculty members into a kiss. Their pactio circles glow with magical aura, as Chamo and Domino announce, "Pactio!"

Appearing above Negi and Shizuna was a card with Shizuna's image on it, and Shakti received the spirit warrior mark on her arm. Then the magic vanished, Shizuna held her card and kissed it before speaking to Negi, "Arigato, Negi-kun."

Negi giggled sheepishly while blushing, "You're welcome."

Shakti looked to Dustin, "Your energy is now a part of me. I will use it well."

Dustin smiled, "I know you will."

"Ok, so let's see what they got." Chamo said.

"Adeat!" Shizuna announced as her card transformed her. She was now dressed in a seductive revealing warrior outfit that exposed her midriff and a large amount of cleavage. On her waist was a belt with thirteen slots containing little capsules with kanji on it for a certain animal and element.

Negi covered his nose to suppress a nosebleed at how hot Shizuna looked, while Chamo allowed the blood to leak out his nose. Alistair and Dustin blushed ferociously, but tried to regain their composure. The girls stared in awe at Shizuna's look admitting to themselves at how hot she really looked, "Shizuna-sensei, you look amazing." Kazumi gasped, as she took some pictures.

"This really does look good on me," Shizuna admitted, as she picked up one of the capsules on her belt seeing the kanji and read it, "Sheep, Ice?" suddenly her armor turned into ice like armor, taking everyone by surprise.

"Whoa, her armor's changed." Ku gasped.

Eva rubbed her chin with her hand, "It appears Shizuna-sense's pactio is the thirteen legendary animals and their elemental powers."

"Thirteen animals?" Alistair asked.

"Elemental powers?" Kotaro asked.

"Precisely, each of the thirteen legendary animals has a specific elemental power to it. As you've seen the sheep has the element of ice."

"That's so cool!" Fuka gasped.

"For real!" Fumika agreed.

"I guess I'll have to learn how to use each of these elemental powers then." Shizuna believed as she deactivated her pactio.

"Ok, Shakti let's see what weapon your spirit power has given you." Dustin said.

Shakti held out her hand and concentrated. Suddenly appearing in her hand was a spirit sword, and suddenly appearing in her other hand was another spirit sword that looked like a European one and had a golden hilt with stylized crosses at the edges of the guard. Shakti looked at them in surprise.

Chizuru spoke, "She's got two spirit swords?"

"These aren't just spirit swords," Shakti gasped, "They're the Holy Swords Excalibur and Ascalon."

Kasuga and Cocone gasped, "Get out, are you serious?" the older girl asked.

"What're the Holy Swords?" Kotaro asked.

Evangeline spoke, "The Holy Swords are weapons infused with holy power and forged by God himself."

"Weapons of God?" Ayaka held a hand to her mouth.

"This is unbelievable." Yue gasped.

"I can now summon spirit version of God's holy weapons." Shakti gasped.

"I'd say you hit the jackpot." Theo chuckled.

Poyo backed away, "Just be sure to keep those things away from me. You know holy weapons and demons don't mix well."

"She's right." Zazie agreed.

So Shakti powered them down, "Don't worry, I would never use them on you two." the group laughed.

Meanwhile Ragnarok stood above the woman known as Arika, and spoke, "Queen Arika, I require your assistance to open a gate to the demon realm and release my subjects." he gripped her head and the woman cried out as a magical aura surrounded them both causing a demon portal to open up.

Coming out from the portal was a swarm of demon creatures. They presented themselves as Ragnarok spoke, "Welcome my subjects, so nice to see you out of your den."

"What took you so long, sir?" one asked.

"I had my hands tied up with something, but now that you're out, we can get down to business."

"But sir, there are still so many of us still trapped in the realm." another demon said.

"I will get started on freeing them, after you've helped me take care of a little problem." Ragnarok said.

"What is it you need?" a third demon asked.

"Two boys and their partners eliminated."

"We can do that." one of them said.

"See that you do," Ragnarok replied as he summoned his shadow soldiers, "Take the demons to Mahora Academy."

"Yes, sir." they answered, and they took off.

Back with the others, they were preparing to go their separate ways, until Eva stopped, "Hold it."

"What is it, mistress?" Chachamaru inquired.

"We got company."

Mana gasped, "I feel it in my bones."

"So do I." Fate said.

Suddenly rising up from the shadows were the shadow soldiers, "Miss us?" one asked.

"You'd wish." Alistair answered.

"We can take them." Haruna said, as they got ready.

"We didn't come alone this time." one of the soldiers said.

They looked up and saw the whole crowd of demons touching down, "Demons!" Shakti gasped.

"Whoa." Kazumi gasped.

"There are even more than there was in Kyoto." Yuna noted.

"And these ones looks just as dangerous." Fate added, as he drew his sword.

"We can still take them." Alistair said, as he summoned his Shadow buster.

Poyo held her arms out and approached the demons, "I am Poyo Queen of the demons. You will not harm them."

"You are not our ruler!" one defied her.

"Our loyalty is to the Shadow Master." another added.

Poyo frowned, "I will teach you not to defy me!" her nails extended very far and she jumped at one to attack it.

The demon defended itself, as more of them fought back. Poyo jumped back over to the others, "I hate traitors."

"Don't worry if we combine our powers we can handle them." Dustin said, as he stood by her side.

Poyo looked down at the boy and couldn't help but blush from his confidence. Negi spoke up, "Come on girls!"

"Yeah!" they called, as they activated their own powers, along with Fate, Alistair, Kotaro, and Michael.

"Well time to break our powers in," Shizuna said, as she reactivated her pactio and pulled out one of the capsules, "Snake, power of Thunder!" a snake aura surrounded her as she gained thunder power and started zapping some shadow soldiers.

Shakti summoned Spirit Excalibur and Spirit Ascalon, "With these swords, those demons don't stand a chance. She jumped in and started slaying two demons.

Theo was surrounded by some shadow soldiers, and fought them with all she had, but more kept dogpiling her to keep her form using her own magic, "Get off me!" she ordered.

"Theo!" Negi called, as he attacked the soldiers with his magic.

Theo got back up and spoke to Negi, "Thank you, Negi."

"No problem." he anwered.

"Negi, look out!" Rin called.

He looked to see a demon flying in for them, as Dustin threw his fist back and forward, "Shotgun!" his attack destroyed the demon.

"Good one, Dustin!" Negi called.

Dustin smirked, until he felt a presence behind him. He spun around seeing a shadow soldier was about to attack him, but a long nail pierced through it's stomach and it dissolved into smoke. Dustin looked at the demon girl who smirked at him, "Always remember to watch your back." she reminded him.

"Right." he chuckled sheepishly, as they joined the rest of the group.

Shizuna switched her current capsule with another, "Ox, power of earth!" her armor became rock like and with her now strengthened armor clobbered some demons, while Shakti continued using the holy swords to wipe out the demons.

Negi and Dustin watched as their partners and friends were holding their own against the combined forces of the demons and the shadow soldiers, but knew they had to end this before someone would get hurt, "Negi, we got to get rid of these demons."

"I know, but even with our combined powers, they're not giving up." Negi noted.

"Then you'll need extra help." Theo said.

"Agreed." Poyo nodded.

"What do you mean?" Negi wondered.

"I want you to make a pactio with me and become stronger." Theo told Negi.

"Huh?" he gawked.

"And Dustin, I want you to make one with me as well." Poyo said.

"What?"

"Who says we have to be the only ones to gain pactios? Even you two are able to make ones with others." Theo stated.

"She has a point." Dustin admitted.

"Well then, Chamo?"

"You got it!" Chamo drew up two pactio circles, and Theo and Negi stepped into one, while Dustin and Poyo occupied the other.

Theo grasped Negi's face, "Are you ready?"

"I am." he nodded.

"Then here we go." Theo kissed Negi.

"Pactio!" Chamo called, as a card started forming with Negi's image on it.

Poyo spoke to Dustin, "Now, become my partner." she pulled him into a kiss.

"Pactio!" Chamo called again, as Dustin received his own card.

"Wow, my first pactio with a mage." Dustin gasped.

"Now let's see what they can do." Negi said, as Dustin nodded.

"Adeat!" they announced as their cards became their new weapons.

Negi's weapon looked like some kind of passport, while Dustin gained a metal aqua blue and silver gauntlet on his right arm with his fingers exposed, "Whoa, Negi, look at this!" Dustin showed him his gauntlet.

Negi's passport artifact opened up revealing all his partners pactio cards, "These are all my cards with the girls. I wonder," he pulled out Ku's card and inserted in another slot on the back side and called, "Adeat!" suddenly his artifact transformed int Ku's pole, "I've got Ku's pactio artifact."

"Looks like you have the power to use each of your partners artifacts." Chamo deduced.

Dustin looked at his gauntlet and concentrated his spirit energy into it. Popping out from the gauntlet was a spirit blade mixed with magical energy, "Oh, yeah, this is more like it!" he cheered.

"Let's go!" Theo ordered, as the four joined the fight again.

Alistair used his Shadow Buster to slice a demon in half, while Yue used her dark magic on some more shadow soldiers, and Chao was fighting five shadow soldiers hand to hand, "Getting tired?" Alistair asked the girls.

"No, I could do this all day." Yue answered sarcastically.

"So could I." Chao added, while Yue rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, you won't have to!" Dustin jumped in and sliced a demon with his magic spirit blade from his gauntlet.

"Whoa, where'd you get that?" Alistair gasped.

"Just a little power up courtesy of Poyo." Dustin said, as the blade sank back into the gauntlet.

Zazie who fought along side Poyo saw Dustin and his new weapon, "He made a pactio with you?" Zazie asked.

"Yes, and between us... I liked the way he kissed." Poyo blushed faintly.

"So did I." Zazie nodded, and the twins smiled.

Negi continued using Ku's staff as a weapon, while Ku noticed this, "Hey, that's my artifact."

"Correct," Negi answered, "Your weapon works well with me too, but now it's time for something new. Abeat!" the staff became Negi's passport artifact again. He grabbed Kaede's card and inserted it, "Now here's a card courtesy of my frist partner Kaede. Adeat!" his passport became Kaede's cloak which he used to shroud himself turning invisible.

"Where'd he go?" a demon asked, as they looked around.

Suddenly Negi appeared out of thin air and slugged a demon knocking him out. The boy landed on his feet and deactivated Kaede's pactio, "Next, Makie. Adeat!" his artifact became Makie's artifact. He used the ribbon to ensnare and whip some demons and shadow soldiers. Negi's partners watched in amaze, as Ayaka gasped, "Negi-sensei's using all our pactios?"

"Yes, that's the power I have given him when we forged a contract." Theo smiled, as they watched the mage attack.

Dustin concentrated his spirit energy into his gauntlet and fired spirit blasts at most of the demons causing them to dissolve, "WHOO!" he cheered, as he continued firing blasts.

"We gotta get out of here!" One of the demons cried in fright, as the remaining five demons took off, while the Shadow soldiers vanished.

When their enemies retreated, the girls powered their artifacts down along with Negi and Dustin. The group ran to them and congratulated them, "Negi, you and Dustin were fantastic!" Rin cheered.

"You kicked ass back there!" Haruna added.

"Well, we couldn't have done it without Theo and Poyo." Dustin said.

"Thank you both." Negi thanked them.

"You're welcome." The giggled.

Back at Ragnarok's lair, the remaining demons were cowering before Ragnarok who was furious, "Numbskulls! I give you a simple job and you fail me?!"

"We did all we could master." one trembled.

"But the boys suddenly made pactios with the Queen of the Hellas Empire and the Demon Queen!" another explained.

Ragnarok turned to them, "They what?"

"Please don't hurt us, we didn't know!" another pleaded.

Ragnarok scoffed, "I cannot let them continue to foil my plan. The time is getting closer, and I need them out of my hair!"

Diabound who had been off to the side with Thorn spoke, "So then now what do we do?"

Ragnarok turned to them, "I will need to unleash more of the demons from the demon realm. Problem is if I force the Queen to use up too much she will perish and I will have to find other ways of opening the portal. I'll unleash more demons but keep them on standby until the time is right."

"And what of us, sir?" Thorn inquired.

"Keep close vigil on the boys, but do not engage them without my authority. Do you both understand?" he asked Thorn and Diabound.

"Yes, Ragnarok." Diabound answered.

"Of course, master." Thorn nodded.

"Good." Ragnarok left the room.

Back at the Girls dorms in Kaede and Negi's room, Theo who was in sleepwear plopped onto Negi's bed, "Ooh, I've always wanted to sleep in a regular bed before."

"You seem to be taking it very well for being a ruler and all." Kaede said.

"I know I may be making a big deal, but when you've lived like royalty for so many years you'd wish for something different after awhile." Theo explained.

"Well then you should feel right at home." Negi said, as he sat on his bed next to Theo, who spoke to him.

"You really don't mind me sharing your bed do you, Negi?"

"Not at all. I'm used to sleeping with others." he answered.

"He can be very cuddling, just for a heads up." Kaede warned Theo, while Negi blushed.

"Kaede!" Theo giggled at the boy's reaction.

Meanwhile in Mana, Zazie, and Dustin's room, Dustin came out of the bathroom in his sleepwear, while noticing Zazie and Poyo, "So you're really planning on enrolling here at the academy, Poyo?"

"Yes, and in the same classes as my sister and the rest of the girls." Poyo answered.

"What made you decide this?" the spike head asked, as he climbed onto Zazie's bunk.

"Well, its been a long time since I saw my sister. We have much to catch up on. And the second reason is you."

"Me?"

"Yes, I want to get to know more about you Dustin Bowers. You truly astound me." Poyo gave him a smile, making him blush.

He thought, 'Wow, her smile's beautiful like Zazie's.' suddenly he found himself in between both Rainyday's with Zazie on his left and Poyo on his right.

Poyo wrapped her arms around him, and spoke to her sister, "You're right, Zazie. He is fun to cuddle with."

"I told you." Zazie replied, as she cuddled up next to Dustin as well.

Dustin lied in bed as the twin Rainyday's snuggled with him. He thought to himself once more, 'Wonder how Alice and Alicia will take it knowing I got another set of twins vying for my attention?'

(There you go. Shizuna and Shakti have made pactio's with the boys. And the boys themselves have become ministra's to Theo and Poyo. Don't miss next time everybody.)
