-EARTH 228-
In a warehouse somewhere in Harle Kingdom
"Gaaahh!" Negi screamed in pain as Chigusa kicks him on the chest causing him to fall on the floor.
"Negi-kun!/Negi-sensei!" Yue, Nodoka and Haruna screamed his name as they we're horrified on how Chigusa is hurting their homeroom teacher.
"Oy Kid! What are you doing!? Fight back!" Ryuuko shouted.
"I-I c-can't... if I do that, she'll hurt you..." Negi replied weakly as he got up in a kneeling position.
Chigusa smirked evily, "How admirable." she said before kicking Negi on the head making fall back down on the cold floor.
"Negi-kun!" Nodoka called out with tears in her eyes, "Please stop it!" she begged.
Make looks up to see several giant spiders crawling around the webs above them, "Damn!" she said gritting her teeth, "With those things lurking above us, the kid is definitely not willing to fight back." she stated.
"We got to do something or that woman will really kill that kid!" Usagi claimed as she tries to wiggle out from her predicament.
Ryuuko does the same thing but no avail, "Damn! I hate this!" she yelled.
"Being a wrapped with spider's silk?" Usagi quipped.
"No! Being a damsel in distress!" Ryuuko replied back in annoyance.
"Wow... that's really important." Maka replied sarcastically.
Negi then lays down the floor when suddenly Chigusa stomps his chest, "Gurk!" he grunted in pain.
Chigusa smirked, pleasure written on her face, "Finally... I finally get to take a life of a Western Mage." she said as she unsheathed a small dagger, "Don't worry... this won't take long." she said sadistically as she raised the dagger ready to stab the young boy.
"Negi-sensei!" Yue and Haruna called out.
"Negi-kun!" Nodoka cried.
"Goddamnit! Fight back kid!" Ryuuko yelled out.
"Stop this!" Maka shouted.
"I can bare to look!" Usagi shouted closing her eyes, "I'll just wait for the daily news!" she added.
Before the dagger could reached Negi's chest, a fist suddenly collided on Chigusa's face sending her flying on the other side of the place surprising everyone as the owner of the fist belongs to Asuna.
"Asuna-san!" Nodoka called out in relief.
"Girls!" another voice called out.
Everyone turns to see Chizuru arriving along with Mato, Gingka, Saito and Guiche.
"Guys!" Maka called out.
"We're save!" Usagi cheered.
"Glad you guys arrived." Ryuuko said.
Guiche stood front with a heroic pose, "Don't worry! Me and my wonderful comrades will save you from those dreadful villains!" he declared with a accompanying sparkles.
"Great... I feel really safe." Maka said sarcastically.
Asuna then turns and glares at Negi, "Oy Brat! I can't believe you tried to do everything on your own again!" she chastised.
"I'm sorry! I don't want to bother any of you and this is my problem." Negi reasoned.
Chizuru then glares at Negi making the young teacher shrink from his intense glare, "Your problem is our problem now! That woman maybe you're enemy but she's now in the leagues of the AWA's enemy organization! So we need to work together in this case!" he said.
"B-but..." Negi was about to argue but Chizuru beat him to it.
"But what!? You think you beat her all your own! New Flash kid, we saw her whooped your stinking ass moments ago!" Chizuru stated angrily his glare gotten worse... way worse than Levi's.
"I-I-It's b-because she w-w-will hurt the girls if I-I-I fight b-back!" Negi replied in fear upon seeing his glare.
"Really? Then you played into her game! While it's admirable that you'll sacrifice yourself for them but for what cause? Getting yourself killed! You think they're going to be happy that you got yourself killed because of them! Wrong! They'll be devastated! They will blame themselves for your death or even worst! Is that what you want? Sending them in despair!" Chizuru berated.
Negi wants to argue back but his words really stung that he can find any words to say, he could only lower his head in realization.
Chizuru nodded, "Thought so! Anyway, we need to deal with this!" he said staring at Chigusa whom is slowly getting up, "Gingka! Saito! Mato! Guiche! Go free the girls and take out the giant uhh... arachnids... meanwhile, me along with Asuna and this kid will face that crazy woman!" he ordered.
"Got ya!" Gingka said as he readies his long silver sword.
Mato then transforms into her Black Rock Shooter form, "I'm ready!" she declared.
Saito then brought out his blade Derflinger, "Let's see how much I improved from the past months." he said.
Guiche chuckled elegantly, "You took those words right from my mouth." he said as he brought out an artificial rose which is his wand.
Chizuru then turns to Negi, "You can still fight kid?" he asked.
Negi shook off his head before facing the blonde with a determined look, "Hai!" he replied.
Chizuru grins evily, "All right... we're gonna show this woman what happens to people who messes with our friends." he declared while bringing out his black blade.
Chigusa then spits on the floor, "Insects... they're just no end with all of you." she spatted.
"Yeah! We're insects that even insecticides won't be able to kill!" Chizuru stated.
"We're gonna get you big time!" Asuna said.
Chizuru, Asuna and Negi vs Chigusa Amagasaki
Gingka, Mato, Saito and Guiche vs the giant spiders
"Once this battle is over would you consider going out with a date with me, Miss Asuna." Guiche offered.
"Uhh... no thank you." Asuna replied.
"This isn't the time for flirting Guiche!" Saito yelled.
FIGHT!
As Chizuru, Asuna and Negi charges at Chigusa, the rest went to save the girls currently stuck on a giant spider web.
"Hurry up guys! I gotta feeling those spiders wants a taste of us!" Usagi cried.
Usagi wasn't kidding, the spiders are now crawling towards them but Usagi's claim that they want to eat them is debatable.
"Don't let those freaky things gets any closer to the girls!" Gingka called out.
Mato then began shooting the spiders with her handblaster as she shoots them directly on the back killing them in an instant, Saito then brought out his Sig Sauer P226 and started shooting at the gigantic spiders unlike Mato, his shots didn't kill them but painful enough to make them stop moving giving Mato the chance to shoot them.
Gingka got his sword, "Guiche! Get ready! We're going to set those girls free!" he ordered.
"Hai!" Guiche replied.
The a large gust of wind begin to circle around Gingka, "All right, Storm Pegasus! Let's do this!" he said as bit on the hilt of the sword glows red, "Graagh!" he swung his blade forward releasing razor sharp winds that tears the spider's silk that are wrapped around Ryuuko, Maka and Usagi releasing them from captivity. All three girls managed to land on their feet.
"Finally!" Ryuuko said.
"I can move again!" Usagi cheered.
"Uhh... I think I'm adding spider's on top of my hate list." Maka declared.
Guiche then ran forward before jumping as he elegantly slashes his sword around the web which sets Haruna, Yue and Nodoka free.
The girls fell down but the guys managed to catch them.
Haruna was caught by Gingka as he holds her in a bridal position, "My hero." Haruna said with a teasing grin while wrapping her arms around his neck.
Gingka blushed a bit, "Uhh... no pleasure." he replied.
Guiche then caught Yue similarly to how Gingka caught Haruna, "Are you okay fair maiden?" he asked with a flirting voice.
Yue looks at him blankly, "I appreciate your help. But would you please put me down, you kinda gross me out." she said bluntly and Guiche then did just that with his head down in shame.
Nodoka was also caught by Mato... albeit differently, "Umm... Miyazaki-san right? Would you please get off me... it's really uncomfortable..." Mato said calmly but had a heavy blush on her face.
Why?
Nodoka is on top of her and despite being girls, it's still embarrassing.
Nodoka quickly got up, "I-I-I'm sorry!" she stammered with an equal blush on her face.
"Guys!" Saito called out earning their attention, "It's not over yet." he declared as more spiders are dropping down from the ceiling.
Gingka's eyes narrowed, "We need to deal with them quick." he said before turning to Ryuuko, Maka and Usagi, "Can you girls fight?" he asked and was hoping that they say yes.
"Sorry..." Maka started, "Without Soul, I can't fight back." she stated.
Ryuuko reluctantly nodded, "Same with me. Even with Senketsuu, I can't fight off giant creatures like those without my weapon." she said.
"I kinda... left my Henshin Stick back in the hotel." Usagi replied sheepishly while rubbing the back of her head.
Gingka looks at the three of them in disbelief, "You gotta be kidding me..." he said slack jaw.
Saito gritted his teeth, "Looks like we had to this on our own." he said then turns to Make, "You and everyone should hide for now while we take care of the family of eight legs." he declared.
Maka nodded, "Let's go girls!" she said leading everyone into safety.
Ryuuko groaned, "I really hate sitting out on a fight!" she whined.
"Quit complaining will ya! Your not the only one who doesn't like this situation." Usagi yelled.
The four got ready as hordes of giant spiders crawls it's way towards them in the creepiest ways as possible.
"All right! Let's get 'em!" Gingka roared as he led the charge.
Saito began swinging his swords slashing his way towards the horde of arachnids, slicing their legs, back, neck or directly stabbing then on the face, he then brought out his pistol again and began to shooting the spiders and like before it doesn't kill them but still able to hurt them and immobilizing their movements for a bit, then he ran towards the helpless arachnids before slashing them with Derflinger killing them instantly.
Then he noticed more are coming towards him, so he magically brought out his M72 Law, he then aimed his Rocket Launcher at the oncoming horde before firing it's missile directly at them causing the spiders to explode into pieces.
Then another spider jumps out from behind ready to tackle him but Saito quickly steps away before slicing the spider in half, "Nice try." he said with a grin.
Guiche runs in circles while dodging and rolling his way, avoiding every spider attack, "Come forth!" he chanted while waving his wand as several rock projectiles floated upwards, "Eat this!" he said as he began to sway his arms and wand like a musical conductor as he use the rock projectiles to hit and squash every spiders coming at him, "Here's more!" he said as more rocks floated above him then he swayed his arms downwards making the rocks rained down the spiders squashing them on the process.
Mato on the other side is busy shooting every spiders jumping towards her creating massive holes on their bodies, "Why do I get attack by most of the spiders!?" she asked indecorously.
Saito ran past her, "I think it's because you're a cute girl." he said nonchalantly.
Mato deadpanned, "I don't know know what to think of that." she said as she quickly changes her weapon into a giant blade, "Haaa!" she cried as she began to spin around like a tornado slicing and killing every spiders that it hits, she then stopped spinning before charging forward, "Take this! Haaaa!" she cried as she spins her body very fast like a drill, she then began to graze through hordes of spiders making holes on their bodies.
Mato then stopped her attacks while looking at the enemy corpses with a grin, "Gonna thank Kiba-san for that move." she stated before covering her face, "Okay... I've been hanging out with Kurome too much that her bloodthirstyness in battle has rubbed on me." she stated.
Gingka dashes forward before skidding in a halt, "Graagh!" he roared while swinging his blade on the sides sending out razor sharp winds slicing every spiders around his vicinity, "Not done yet! Graagh!" he roared again, as he swings his blade as a burst of wind blows away several spiders, "One more dance! Hyaaah!" he roared swinging his blade creating more razor sharp winds hitting and slicing his targets.
He then noticed more a crawling towards him, "Bring it on eight legs!" he said with a smirk before jumping high in the air, as he soars in the air he then raised his blade up, "STARBLAST ATTACK!" he roared as he nose dived before crashing down on his targets, "That's the power of Storm Pegasus!" he declared.
Saito then ran past him, "You could've done better than that." he said.
Gingka grinned, "Don't worry! I got plenty more tricks up my sleeve." he said back.
Meanwhile, Chizuru, Asuna and Negi are clashing with Chigusa. Unlike back in the museum, Asuna choose to fight her barehanded which proven effective as she can finally match up the woman's average speed, Chizuru uses his blade in maximum speed(something he learns after sparring with Zoro multiple times, of course he's no much for Zoro) which gives Chigusa a hard time, Negi is the only one that is having a hard time fighting her, well... that's the result of letting himself getting beat up by her and he only had himself to blame for that.
"Why do I get a feeling that someone is bashing me?" Negi thought.
Let me remind you that I'm not bashing him, his stubbornness and his habit of doing things alone are his usual bad traits.
Asuna rushes forward with an attempt to deliver a haymaker at Chigusa but the woman quickly dodges by jumping back a few steps then she quickly sidestep as Negi swung his staff at her followed by kick but she managed to block it.
Chigusa then backpedaled away from the three, "Guess I'll be using this." she said as she began to charge kii power on the tip of her finger.
"What is she doing?" Asuna asked while standing her ground.
"She's charging something up... and of what I don't know." Chizuru replied.
Feeling enough kii, Chigusa raised her arms up with her finger pointing upwards as a large ball of fire began to manifest on the tip of her finger, "Try and dodge this!" she said as balls of fire shoots out towards them.
"SCATTER!" Chizuru yelled as he and Asuna got out of the way while Negi stood still, the blonde then ran back at him, "I said scatter!" he said as he grabs the boy's head before shoving him to the side as the blonde quickly jumps away just in time for the balls of fire to hit the spot they once stood.
As the great balls of fire continues to rain down on them, the trio would do their best to avoid getting scorched. Asuna due to state of panic managed to avoid every attacks, same goes with Negi but the young boy would swat enemy projectiles using his staff and Chizuru... oh boy... he was dancing.
Chizuru was doing a Michael Jackson effectively evading every attacks thrown at him, he spins around before singing, "Splick, Splick! Dynamite... Wooh!" he sang while doing a moonwalk, "She's coming after me, watch me fight!" he sang.
"What are you doing!? Get serious!" Asuna yelled in disbelief before ducking down as another fireball flew past her.
Chizuru smirked, "Oh... I'm dead serious!" he said before suddenly vanishing in a flash surprising everyone, then he suddenly appeared in front of Chigusa much to her shock, "SHORYUKEN!" he shouted as he delivers an uppercut on her, sending the woman crashing on the floor, "I always wanted to say that." he said with a grin.
"H-how did you do that?" Negi asked.
Chizuru smirked, "I had a special ability to teleport!" he revealed before frowning, "But I can only used it ten times a single day... and I had nine left." he said.
Chigusa slowly got up, "Cough! I wasn't expecting that." she said.
Chizuru smirked again, "Not here to gloat... but you're looking at the lucky number 7th ranking member of the AWA Rookie 20." he declared jabbing a thumb on himself.
Chigusa gritted her teeth, "I'm gonna kill you!" she shouted as she throws more fireballs at them.
"SCATTER!" Chizuru called out again as they got out of the way.
Negi began to chant, "Flans Saltatio Pulverea!" he shouted as a powerful winds blows every fireballs away, the wind also caused Chigusa to be pushed away.
Then Asuna rushes towards her, "Ouryaa!" she shouted as she punches her in the face, the impact of her punch caused Chigusa to fly in the air.
Upon seeing Chigusa dazed, Chizuru took his chance as teleported below her, "Chi!" he yelled as he punches her on the stomach causing her to gasp.
"Zu!" he yelled again as he uppercuts her again on the jaw straightening her body.
Then Chizuru teleported above her, "Ru!" he yelled as he delivers another roundhouse kick on the back of her head pushing her downwards.
Then Chizuru teleported back on the floor as Chigusa slams to his shoulders as he carries her on a standing fireman's carry position, "Tachibana Special! Attitude Adjustment!" he yelled before transitioning into a kneeling takeover slamming her head and back hard on the solid concrete.
"Gurk!" Chigusa grunted in pain as she lay down the floor defeated.
Chizuru then look down at her, he then waves his hand on his face, "You can't see me!" he mocked.
BREAK OUT!
After the battle, everyone gathered around in the middle of the warehouse.
"Ugh! I think I don't wanna see another spider for the rest of the week." Mato muttered in disgust.
Saito grinned, "At least it's over for now." he said putting his arms behind his head.
Guiche then brushes his hair, "So... ladies... since the heinous event is over, would one you like to go out with me." he said with a wink.
The girls gave him a blank.
"No offense Guiche but you disgust me." Maka said bluntly with an equal disgust face making Guiche flinch.
"Sorry but I already had a boyfriend and I rather stay loyal to him." Usagi said with a not-so-apologetic face making Guiche flinch further.
"Your not my type Guiche, so get lost!" Ryuuko said harshly as the blonde comically turns white from her words.
"Umm... we appreciate your help but... I'm not comfortable with a man such as yourself..." Nodoka replied politely but despite that... it still hurt him.
"Gross." Yue's simple but harsh reply hurts his aching heart further.
Haruna laughs, "You're not up my alley." she said before wrapping an arm around Gingka, "Now... he's my type." she said with hungry eyes.
Gingka chuckled nervously at her flirting before turning to Mato, "A little help here." he mouthed.
As Guiche sulks in one corner with dark clouds above him, Chizuru then turns to Negi, "Now kid... do you have something else to say." he said with his arms crossed.
Ryuuko then leans to Maka, "Chizuru looks like a disappointed father." she commented earning a nod from the scythe mistress.
Negi then held his head down before turning to her students and the trio from AWA, "I-I'm sorry... I'm sorry for making you girls worried... I just can't even bare to think of what she might do to you... but I made it worse I guess..." he said in shame.
Haruna spoke first, "It's okay Negi-sensei... but I'm still terrified that she almost killed you right in front of us." she stated.
Yue nodded, "Please Negi-sensei... don't do that again..." she said with a worried look.
Nodoka gave him a small smile, "Seeing you getting hurt really scared me... but I'm glad that you're okay." she said.
Negi looks at her students, "Everyone..." he whispered.
Asuna then turns to the young boy, "I hope that you learn something tonight." she said.
Chizuru then spoke, "Look kid! I don't doubt your skills and I admit, you're really a talented mage. But that doesn't mean your invincible, there are things that you can do on your own but sometimes doing things alone isn't always the solution. That's why we had friends, comrades! People that we can depend on if things are proven too difficult for ourselves. You are not alone kid! Remember that." he stated making everyone from AWA to smile at him.
"H-hai..." Negi replied solemnly but he understood what the blue eyed blonde just said.
"And if something like this ever happened again, don't go running off on your own! Call your allies, your students or even us for help. But if you try to do things alone again, I will lock you up in basement, strapped you in a chair and have a thick book about team work pound on your cranium until you learn a valuable lesson!" Chizuru threatened with a dark face.
Negi gulped in fear, "H-hai..." he replied.
Asuna sweatdrop, "Man... he's scary..." she commented.
"So what now?" Usagi asked.
"Well... we take the crazy woman to the authority and head back to the hotel." Chizuru stated.
"Not... over... yet..." a weak voice said.
Everyone turns to see Chigusa slowly but weakly getting up.
Chizuru gritted his teeth, "Persistent... isn't she." he said.
"I will not... let insects... like... you..." she began before glaring at them, "END ME LIKE THIS!" she cried as she dashed forward.
"Guys! Watch out!" Gingka called out.
Everyone got ready and braced for her attack but to their shock she ran past them... while grabbing Nodoka by the arm.
"Your coming with me!" Chigusa yelled as she grip the girl's arm tightly.
"Eep! Let go of me!" Nodoka cried.
"Nodoka! No!" Yue cried as she ran for her friend.
"Miyazaki-san!" Negi called out running after them.
Then a red vortex appeared on the wall, "What the!?" Gingka gasped.
"It's a red vortex!" Maka shouted.
Chigusa gave them one last glance particularly on Negi, "If you wanna see this girl again, then you better come in the Deanna Forest! Or else I'll kill her!" she threatened as jumps inside the red vortex with Nodoka and it quickly vanished.
"Nodoka! Nodoka!" Yue cried for her friend while pounding the wall.
"Wait! They're probably behind the wall!" Saito declared as he ran past the wall only to find nothing, "Or not." he quipped.
"Miyazaki-san..." Negi muttered in shock, one of her student was kidnapped again.
Yue then turns to Negi while grabbing the hems of his suit, "Negi-sensei! Please! Save Nodoka! Please save her!" she begged as hot tears streams down her face.
"A-Ayase-san..." Negi said as he watches her student cried in front of him.
Chizuru gritted his teeth, "She's despicable!" he said before turning to everyone, "Okay! Everyone we need to head back at the hotel!" he ordered.
"Why?" Asuna asked.
"We're going to rescue Miss Nodoka Miyazaki! But to do that we need a plan! We need the exact location of the Deanna Forest and arrange a team that will come with us in this rescue operation." Chizuru replied.
Ryuuko nodded, "Good thinking." she said.
Negi nodded at Chizuru's suggestion as he held Yue tightly, "Don't worry Ayase-san, we'll get Miyazaki-san back, I promise." he said as she cries on his chest.
"Time we left! We got things to do!" Chizuru declared.
A/N: That's a wrap! I hope you like this chapter. And yes, Chizuru Tachibana move set is based from John Cena and a little bit of Deadpool, his ability to teleport will be explained in later chapters, same goes for Gingka's blade.
-OMAKE-
We see both Lester the Unlikely and Levi Ackerman sitting on the rooftop at the Harle Hotel with their legs dangling on the edge.
"Men... I'm member of the AWA but I still feel useless... I don't know what to do! Jeez! I feel so lost. Drifting on this rock without a purpose." Lester claimed before drinking a can of beer.
Levi took a sip of his drink, "We are all drifting..." he started, "Moving through space. Trying to squeeze meaning out of our lives... Why do you say you're lost? We are all heading towards the same direction..." he said before looking up at the stars, "... Don't think of the journey's end. Think of where you are and who you're with. That's what matters." he finished.
Lester looks at him in awe, "I'm so gonna give you a hug right now." he stated.
"I'm so gonna throw you off the rooftop if you try." Levi threatened.
I hope you like the omake as well the meaning of Levi's words. Next chapter, the gang will assemble a group that will rescue Nodoka as they head towards Deanna Forest.
Until then paalam!
