(I know I really haven't gotten to this in so long but that's because my others have really gotten popular and such. Well, enjoy what I have planned.)

One afternoon, after classes, Negi and Dustin were leaving the building, "Well the rest of the girls seemed fine with Poyo attending class." Dustin said.

"Oh, yes. I think she'll be fine with the girls." Negi agreed.

"I just can't get over the fact I'm her ministra now." Dustin chuckled.

"I know what you mean. We've always been the ones making the pactios, and now we're partners." Negi agreed.

"I sure can't wait to use that gauntlet of mine in action again. I mean did you see the way I plowed through those demons?" Dustin asked, as Negi nodded, and the spike head continued, "And you, you can use all of your partner's artifacts now?"

"Well, one at a time, actually." he admitted.

"Still, that doesn't diminish the fact we're even stronger now," Dustin said, until the two looked up ahead seeing a magical aura by the entrance of the forest, "I don't like the looks of that."

"Let's go!" Negi ordered, while holding his staff. The two took off into the forest.

Meanwhile in Mahora's forest, a portal opened as a cloaked figure jumped out and made a break for it. Four lights flew out in different directions in the school as another figure came out. She looked up seeing the four lights go off, "No! Darn it, now I got to go find you guys. That's going to be a problem" she said.

"Hands where I can see them!" a voice called, as Dustin approached with his gauntlet activated, and Negi with his staff

"Whoa, take it easy. I'm not what you think I am." the girl began.

"Who are you and why're you here?" Negi demanded.

The girl listened and gasped, "Negi, is that you?"

"You know my name?"

Dustin looked to him, "Is there anyone who doesn't know you or possibly me?"

The girl spoke turning around lowering the hood of her cloak she had long hair the same color as Negi's only she had highlights of pink, and the same color eyes as Negi as well they both looked the same age.

Negi and Dustin gasped, "Negi, why does that girl bear a striking resemblance to you?"

"I don't know.'

"I know this is all weird, but my name is Selene Springfield," she explained as the boys looked shocked, "In a different world you could say I'm Negi's sister." Selene explained with a smile.

"Different world?" Dustin asked.

"Sister?" Negi asked.

"Yes. Look, I'll explain it all, but I need to find my friends."

"Friends?" Negi asked.

"Yes. I didn't come alone. But they all got sent in different directions.

Dustin rolled his eyes, "Great a wild goose chase."

Selene spoke to Dustin, "Not quite. I can find them easily." she held up four cards.

"Pactio cards?" Negi gasped.

"So she's a mage as well." Dustin said.

Selene spoke taking out a card, "Better find Agni first. I hope he didn't land in the pool" Selene said.

"Can't swim?" Negi asked

"Not exactly."

Meanwhile back at Mahora, a little fiery boy about nine years old was clinging to the diving board by the outdoor pool. He looked down into the water seeing his reflection

"I don't wanna go out..." Agni cried, "Selene! Anyone, get me down!"

Suddenly he saw a pool net below him. He looked aside seeing Akira holding it, "Don't worry it'll catch you."

"Ok." he let go and fell into the net, and Akira pulled it to the ledge, "Thank goodness." the boy panted.

"Who're you?" Akira asked.

"My name is Agni." he introduced himself.

"Akira, and why're you so small?"

"This is merely my little flame form." he explained.

Akira was confused, until a voice called out, "Agni!"

The two looked seeing Selene, Negi, and Dustin, "Selene!" Agni cried as he clung to Selene.

"Negi-sensei, Dustin-sensei, who is this?" Akira asked the two.

Dustin answered, "A girl claiming to be Negi's sister."

"She is, at least where we're from?" Agni said.

"Where you're from?" Akira asked.

"Another world." Selene answered.

"I'm lost." Akira said.

"So are we." Dusitn assured her

Selene spoke, "I'll explain everything, but we need to find my other partners."

"Where could they be?" Agni wondered

Elsewhere a young boy about the age of twelve was in a tree, "How do I get myself into these situation?" he asked himself. He looked down seeing how high he was up, "Kyon...Kiku...Agni...Selene...can someone get me down I don't want to join the spirits just yet!"

"Not one for heights, are you?" a voice asked

The teen looked up and saw standing on top of the tree was Kaede, 'It's Kaede, but wait this can't be the Kaede I know.' he thought.

"If you don't like heights, why're you up here?" the ninja girl asked.

"I'm not up here on my own accord." he answered.

"So how did you get up here then?"

"I landed here."

"Landed?" Kaede wondered.

"Suzaku!"

The two looked down seeing the boys, Akira, and Selene, as the younger girl called, "What are you doing up there? I thought you hated heights!" Selene shouted.

"Kaede!" Negi called.

"Right." Kaede jumped down to level the boy known as Suzaku's was on, picked him up, and brought him safely to the ground

"Land! Solid land!" he said happily, while kissing the ground.

"Two down." Selene said.

Dustin looked at Suzaku, "You're one of Selene's partners too?" he asked.

"Yes, and you are?"

"Dustin Bowers."

"Well, nice to meet you."

"I can't believe I found the both of you in situations featuring your worst nightmares." Selene said.

"What're the odds?" Agni asked.

"How many are there to look for?" Negi asked.

"Two more." Selene answered.

"They could be anywhere." Suzaku added.

Selene took out two cards, "Ok you two, let me know where you are."

"We're gonna have to explain this to the girls after this." Dustin told Negi and two of his partners.

"Agreed." Negi nodded

"Come on!" Selene ran off with Negi, Dustin, Akira, Kaede, and her partners

Meanwhile, another teen about the age of thirteen had risen to his feet after his crash, "Oh, what a wild landing." he looked around seeing he was on Mahora's ground, "Well, I'm at Mahora so that's one thing."

"Kiku, is that you?" another voice asked with a Texan accent. It came from a young man about Kiku's age and had a cowboy hat on.

"Kyon, oh thank Kami. Are you all right?" Kiku asked the cowboy.

"I am now. Where is everyone else?"

"Don't know, but hopefully Selene-chan found them"

"Well at least the scenery looks the same."

"I'm not sure. The aura feels different." Kiku said

"Well, what do we do wait for someone to find us?" Kyon asked.

"Well, better than getting lost even further from Selene and the others." So they two took a load off by the fountain

Soon enough, the group arrived at their location, "There you two are." Selene called.

"Selene!" the two got up and went over to her and the others.

Agni had grown from his small flame form into a regular size about shorter than Negi and Dustin, "Good, we're all here." he said.

"Yeah, you're here. But why are you here?" Dustin inquired.

"We came to this world in pursue of our enemy." Kyon began.

"Your enemy?" Negi asked.

"Yeah, a real nasty one." Suzaku explained.

Agni spoke to Selene, "Perhaps we should start at the beginning?"

"Agreed."

"Before you do, we should round up the rest." Dustin suggested

"Sure. How many partners in this world?" Selene asked Negi.

"Fourteen." he answered.

"Huh that's all you have here?" Selene said.

"I'm lost." Negi said feeling confused.

"You'll find out soon." Kyon assured him.

Soon enough they were all gathered outside Eva's cottage, as Selene and her boys saw the barrage of girls from class, including such as Shizuna, Shakti, Cocone, Theo, Poyo, Rin, and the boys.

Selene thought to herself as she looked at the girls present while annalyzing them, 'Some of them have different shades in their hair, some different hair all together, and some of these people I don't even know.'

"Ok girls, settle down." Negi ordered, as the girls gave Negi and Dustin their undivided attention.

"Yes, sensei. Now then what is going on here?" Ayaka inquired.

"This is Selene, and apparently she's my sister from another world." Negi began.

"Sister?" the girls gasped.

"Another world?" Alistair and Kotaro asked.

"This is definitely intriguing." Fate admitted.

"Yes. It's all true. Some of you girls I really know well from my world, and yet there's some of you I do not know."

"Like who?" Chao asked.

She motioned to the other girls not from class and Rin. Dustin spoke up, "This is Shizuna-sensei, this is Sister Shakti, this Theo, this is Poyo, this is Cocone, and this is Rin."

"So then who're these guys?" Kiku asked seeing the boys.

"This is Kotaro, Alistair, Fate, and Michael." Negi introduced them.

Selene spoke smiling, "Well, it's nice to meet you all. And yes I am Selene Springfield, Negi's twin sister. And these are my partners. Kyon Jackson."

"Howdy."

"Kiku Kirkland"

"Hi."

"Suzaku Fey"

"Greetings."

"And this is Agni" she finished.

"Hey."

Selene took off her cloak all the way reveling to be wearing a Mahora uniform underneath, "Hey, you go to Mahora too?"

"Yeah it was sort of my assignment." she explained

"Assignment?" Negi asked.

"Yes, just like how it's your assignment to be a teacher here, I got one of my own. Of course this wasn't an official one, but really a request."

"A request?" Dustin asked.

"You see I'm a drop out of the magic academy. Studying is for the birds I say. I prefer to learn by experience" Selene said with a wink.

Eva gasped, "Spoken like a Springfield!"

'She must have father's personality.' Negi thought.

'A girl with a personality mirroring Nagi. My worse nightmare come true.' Eva thought.

"Ok so you joined your brother merely to tag along?" Dustin asked.

"Hey, I wanted to see Japan myself." Selene argued.

Yeah, that's where she met us." Kyon explained.

"I'll get to that another time. I need to discuss who we're up against." Selene explained.

Agni spoke, "Proceed."

"We've come in pursue of an enemy of ours named Alois."

"Alois?" the girls asked.

"Yes. He's a dark mage spider creature." Selene explained.

"Spider creature?" Yuna asked.

"Yes. He has an ambition to gain as many pactio partners he can for an army, and more so for a harem." she explained.

"Whoa." Alistair and Kotaro gasped.

"He managed to conjure a magic dimension portal which brought him here. We followed in after him." Kyon explained.

"But due to our separation upon arriving we lost his trail." Kiku added.

"Don't worry, now that he knows we're here. He'll be coming after me." Selene assured him.

"After you, why?" Rin asked.

"Because he wants me to be part of his harem."

"He does?" Ako asked.

"Uh-huh. Reason why is because I first wandered into his web so to speak." she began, "This was years ago back in Wales, when Negi and I were still very young. I wandered away from the academy and got lost in a forest. I happened across this mansion. I went in hoping to find help, but instead I found Alois. He took me in and gave me food, while I explained the situation. He tried buttering me up about staying longer rather than try and get back, but I refused. He then kept me prisoner against my will for two days."

"How did you escape?" Negi asked, while the girls were curious.

Selene smiled, "I was rescued by a guardian angel. One you've been looking for so long."

"Father?" he gasped, and Selene nodded.

"Father rescued me and brought me out of the forest. He claimed he wanted to stay, but had to be elsewhere. But he left me something just as he left you his staff."

"What'd he leave you?" Konoka asked.

"This." she held up a bracelet with six charms attached to it. All six charms were in the form of ponies with one being alicorn, two pegasi, two earth, and one unicorn.

"What is it?" Chizuru asked.

"My father calls it the Key of Harmony. And it's magic was very powerful. He felt one day I would be able to unlock it's power piece by piece, and that's what I've been doing." she finished.

The group was moved by her story, as Negi spoke, "That's amazing."

"So how did you meet each of your partners?" Dustin asked.

"Well, first I met Kyon who was living in the South on his family's farm. He knew I was a mage due to my aura."

"Your aura?" the girls asked, as Kyon explained.

"Ya see, my and my fam come from a line of fox spirits. One of our abilities allows us to sense the auras in others. I've always trained to be strong like my pop and older brother. I wanted to be Selene's partner in hopes she could help make me stronger. And sure enough the more I trained with her the stronger I've gotten. One day I'll be a master warrior just like my daddy."

"I became her partner after him," Kiku started, "I was born in Japan, but lived in the UK since I was six years old. I'm a swordsman in training much like Setsuna is one in training as well," Setsuna gave a side glance, "Though I was in training I was in fact ahead of my class. I became her partner when Selene was seven years old. I saw her perform magic, and offered to keep her secret if she shared with me some power as well to help me better focus my technique."

"Which of you were next?" Kotaro asked Suzaku and Agni.

"I was," Suzaku answered, "I actually knew Selene and Negi when we were kids, but when my parents got divorced I went to live with my mom in Japan. But when Selene and I met again we made a pactio as part of a promise we made when I left."

"So what do you do?" Dustin asked.

"Actually I'm similar to you Dustin Bowers."

"Similar to me?"

"Yes, I'm somewhat a spirit warrior, but we prefer the term Spirit Mediums."

"Spirit Mediums?" Fumika asked.

"Yes. Their abilities focus mostly on defense and ties to the spirit realm are much stronger. They try to avoid confrontation but can fight mostly focusing on long range attacks, and are able to commune with nature."

"Interesting." Dustin answered, while feeling intrigued.

"And you, Agni?" Mana asked the youngest of the pactio boys.

"I started off living in Bengal India. As you've guessed I'm half human and half fire spirit. Mom died when I was little. My father treated him like a sideshow attraction to make money in his traveling freak show. Then one day Selene found me and broke me and all the others my father captured free and I was able to start a new life. Selene made me her partner and promised she would never leave me. I'm capable of manipulating fire due to my fire spirit nature.

Suzaku spoke, "But his fire is also connected to his emotions, and when he goes into a tantrum he could start a forest fire." he joked.

"Hey!" Agni cried, as he started getting hotter.

"Easy, kid," Michael calmed him, "Believe me as Pyromancer I know how that feels."

"You do?" Agni asked, and Michael nodded.

"We were hoping we'd be able to catch Alois on our own, but seeing as how we ran into all of you may just make this job easier," Selene said, "That is if you'd be willing to help us."

Negi, Dusitn, their friends and partners looked at each other, before Negi answered, "Well, of course we'll help you."

"You will?" she asked.

"Sure. After all it'd be rude of us to deny others our service." Dustin added.

"Quite right." Ayaka agreed, as the rest of the group nodded in agreement.

"Besides, even if you're not my sister in my world, you do feel like family. And i'd like to get to know you the same way the me from your world knows you." Negi said happily. Selene smiled seeing this would go well with her mission.

Meanwhile back out in Mahora's forest. Lowering down by a spider thread was the cloaked figure from before pulling down his hood revealing to be a blonde man who was the one known as Alois, "Hmm, I sense they are all on Mahora's ground. If I strike now it'll be too soon, so I'll need to buy some time. After all I must get to know more about this world and the counterpart of Negi Springfield," he put his hands to the ground, "Go my children find me the information I desire." suddenly crawling out form his sleeves were a whole egg sack worth of tiny spiders that crawled away into the direction of Mahora.

"My little Selene. Soon you and every woman I desire will be mine." he laughed.

(And there's the chapter. Don't miss next time where Negi, Dustin, and their partners must assist the Springfield girls from alternate world in stopping this enemy of hers. See you then.)
