A/N: I'm back! And get ready for a new chapter! This time we'll see the rest specifically Luffy and Erza in action. I see that everyone enjoys Tsukuyomi's appearance from the previous chapter, don't worry, that isn't the last time she'll appear in this fic, she's a very fun character to write and she's a really good ploy to Chizuru's otherwise positive character so I'm making her as he's sort of rival.
So Jack, that's a gift for you.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic... except for a few OCs.
-Earth 228-
Harle Kingdom
Deanna Forest, Old Fortress
(Play Heart of Fire - Black Veil Brides)
While Chizuru and Izuku are outside resting for a bit. The rest back inside the old base a fighting waves and waves of bandits both humans and hybrids alike.
"Gomu gomu no..." Luffy began as he stretches his arms backwards, "... PISTOL!" he roared as throws a devastating punch straight to one bandit's face sending him flying in the air.
"Get out my way!'' Erza yelled as she transforms into one of her armors, she is now wearing her Heaven's Wheel Armor which consists of a plated armor covering her chest with a large metal flower over it and she wears a large billowing skirt that has a metal plate in the upper area. Her stomach and neck are uncovered, she has a large metal wings and a wing-like headpiece.
"W-what the hell is this!?" one bandit shouted in shock.
"Graaagh!'' Erza roared as she swung her blade which sends many bandits flying in the air, "Never mess with Fairy Tail and AWA!'' she declared as she charges towards more bandits.
Several bandits then charges at Koutarou, "A kid! Finally someone that is easy to kill!'' a bandit said.
A tick mark appeared above Koutarou's head, "Easy?" he mouthed with gritted teeth as he glares at them, "I'll show you easy!'' he shouted before punching on bandit on the face sending the brute crashing on the wall, "Who's easy to kill now?'' he mocked.
One bandit got angry, "Why you little brat!'' he said as he swung his sword but Koutarou manages to blocked it with one arm, "What!?'' he shouted in disbelief.
Koutarou smirked, "My turn!'' he declared before kicking the bandit on the mid-section followed by a powerful uppercut that sends the poor soul flying and crashing towards the ceiling with his head sticking in.
The rest of the bandits looks at Koutarou in fear as the dog boy cracks his neck, "Well now... who's next?'' he asked with a manic grin.
Kaede is seen running in top speed while dodging numerous enemy attacks such as swords and arrows, her eyes are focused at Nodoka Miyazaki hanging in the ceiling, "Don't worry Nodoka-san! I'm coming here!'' she called out as she made a beeline towards the wall and being a ninja she began to run on the wall upwards, she then throws a kunai towards the ropes that binds the girl, quickly cutting it then she jumps towards her and despite the distance she managed to catch her, then she pulls out a cloak and covers Nodoka making the girl vanish, "Objective complete!'' she announced.
Kaede then drops down next to Erza, "Where's the girl?'' the redhead swordswoman asked in confusion.
"Don't worry Erza-dono, Nodoka-san is currently safe inside my cloak, it has a built-in house inside - de gozaru." Kaede explained.
"That's very convenient." Erza commented.
"Hai - de gozaru.'' the green haired ninja replied with a nod.
Several bandits then corners Luffy on a wall as the strawhat wearing boy grins, "Gomu Gomu no..." he started he stretches his arms backwards, "... SHOT!'' he shouted as he unleashes a barrage of multiple punches towards the bandits sending them in different directions.
Koutarou then jumps above several bandits, he then created a shadow clone, "Uoorryaaahh!'' he shouted as he and his clone began punching and kicking their targets, he then noticed more are coming from the left, he smirk, "Inugami-ryou... KUGA!'' he chanted before shooting out a blast of kii from his palms in a form of a fang wiping out many bandits out of the way, "Oh yeah!'' he said in satisfaction.
"Blumenblatt!" Erza called as she summons a mass amount of swords above her.
"W-What is that!?" one bandit shouted in fear.
"Graaaghhh!'' Erza roared as she charges towards her opponents and then slices them with two of her swords sending them flying mid-air, "Not done yet!'' she said as she flies towards her targets and slices them once more making them crash down the floor.
Luffy runs forward while stretching one arm behind him, "Gomu Gomu no... BULLET!'' he roared as he snaps it back to deliver a short-distance, one-fisted powerful blow to one bandit which sends him crashing towards his comrades like bowling pins, "FINLAND!" he cheered.
Kaede then charges at three bandits, "Time to use this move of mine..." she said as she throws stringed shurikens ensnaring her targets, "Bakusa Bakuenjin!'' she quipped as the shurikens cause a large explosion which resulted with three comically charred bandits, "A handy work of myself - de gozaru.'' she mused.
Erza then stood still as she was surrounded by many bandits, she then closed her eyes as she equip more swords as it circles around her, "Dance my Blades.'' she commanded. Then her swords began to spin rapidly around her before flying towards her targets in disc formation as it hits every bandits sending them along with the blades in different direction, she looks up with a content smile, "Easy as pie.'' she said.
Luffy then landed next to her, "Oh... I love pies...'' he said.
Chigusa watches the battle from the second floor with gritted teeth, not liking that her plans is moving south.
"Amagasaki!'' a voice called.
Chigusa turns around to see Negi and Asuna behind her with their weapons ready, "It's over now! We've save Nodoka and there is nothing stopping us from defeating you!" the young teacher declared.
"Tch! You've foiled my plans again and again... this is the last straw! I will kill you and that girl with you, right here, right now!" Chigusa snapped.
"We'll see about that!" Negi said, "Ready Asuna?'' he asked.
"Let's go!'' Asuna replied.
Negi & Asuna vs Chigusa
"After this battle, you're going to take a bath Negi!'' Asuna demanded.
"Eep! No way! I hate baths!'' Negi cried.
Fight!
"I'm going to make you suffer!" Chigusa shouted as she charges towards the young teacher.
Negi got into position, "Asuna! I'm going to cast a spell! Please stall her for me!" he said readying his staff.
"Leave it to me!" Asuna replied as she charges towards Chigusa.
As Negi began to chant the spell as a rune appeared below his feet, Asuna is now trading blows with the psychotic mage.
"Get out of my way!" Chigusa growled as she throws a chop but Asuna swiftly dodges it.
"No can do! If you gonna go after Negi then you had to go through me first!" Asuna declared as she tries to kick her by the shins.
Chigusa dodges her kick, "Then I'll kill you first!" she screeched before throwing a palm-thrust towards Asuna's chest but the heterochromic girl caught it with both hands.
"Not this time!" Asuna declared as she quickly headbutts Chigusa on the forehead sending her crashing to the floor as she growls in pain, oddly enough Asuna also felt the pain, "Ouch! Just what you're head is made off!" she mused while rubbing her forehead.
Chigusa quickly got up and charges again but Asuna quickly wraps her arm around her neck putting her in a headlock.
"Give up!" Asuna demanded.
"Never!" Chigusa snapped as she pulls out a knife under her skirt, luckily Asuna notice this as she quickly lets her go while narrowly avoiding getting stab by her, "I won't miss this time." she said with a smirk.
Asuna took a step back before getting herself ready, "Bring it on loser!" she mocked.
This got Chigusa even angrier, "You bitch!" she yelled as she charges towards the heterochromia girl as she thrusted her knife forward however Asuna anticipated her next move as she quickly grabs her arm before swiftly swatting away the sharp object, "What?" she gasped in shock.
Wasting no time, Asuna then quickly wraps her legs around Chigusa's hips before falling down the floor, the heterochromic girl then pulls her arm while her legs pushes Chigusa's body which slowly stretches her.
"Aaaaaahh!" Chigusa screeched in pain as she tries to escape Asuna's submission hold.
"Negi! Is the spell done yet!?" Asuna called as she's finally hitting the limit of her submission hold.
Negi the opens his eyes before raising his arms up with his hands wide open, "Out of the way Asuna!" he called out as electricity began to charge on his hands, "Iaculato Fulgoris!" he chanted as he throws an electrically charged magical javelin towards the two.
Asuna saw the attack as she quickly released Chigusa from her hold and dives to the side, the bespectacled woman slowly got only to receive an electrical attack piercing through her chest.
"Aaaaaahh!" Chigusa screams in pain as electricity surges through her entire body. As the attacks subsides, she then fell back down on the floor out cold.
"Nice Negi!" Asuna praised as the young teacher gave her a thumbs up.
K.O!
The remaining bandits began scampering away upon realizing that Chigusa was defeated and add the fact that their opponents are way beyond their level, can you blame them for retreating. The cowardly group of poor souls quickly runs out of the old fortress with one even screaming for his mommy.
The moment every bandits left the building, Chizuru and Izuku casually came in with not-so caring faces.
"Hey guys! The fights over?" Chizuru called out.
Luffy chuckles, "Shishishishi! Yup!" he replied.
"Awww... I wish the fight lasted longer." Koutarou whined.
"Well that suck. But don't worry, just like we said before you can challenge any members of the AWA in a friendly spar." Chizuru said with a smile.
"All right!" Koutarou cheered with a his pumped up.
Erza then noticed that Chizuru was shirtless and saw the large wound behind his back, "Tachibana! Did you get that wound from you're fight with that girl!?" she stated in worry.
Koutarou flinched at the sight of the bloody gash, "Ouch! Are you okay?" he asked in concern.
Chizuru groaned, "Yeah... I'm fine. She really did a good number on my back." he replied.
"You better let Yoshika take a look at that when we get back." Luffy suggested.
"Will do." Chizuru replied before looking around, "Where's Negi?" he asked.
"Here we are!" Negi called as he and Asuna got down from the second floor with the latter carrying the unconscious Chigusa, "We save Miyazaki-san and defeated Amagasaki." he said.
Chizuru nodded, "Good work!" he praised.
"By the way, where is Miyazaki-san?" Izuku asked.
"Here she is - de gozaru." Kaede announced as she magically brought out Nodoka from her cloak.
"Miyazaki-san!" Negi called out happily.
"Negi-sensei!" Nodoka called out as she ran towards the young teacher before tackling him with a hug while crying, "Negi-sensei... I was scared... I was scared that I will never see any of you again..." she cried.
Negi hugs her back, "It's okay..." he said calmly, "Everything is over now..." he said patting her head gently.
"Thank you... for coming for me..." Nodoka sobbed.
"It's not just me... thank everyone who help me find you in this place." Negi said.
Nodoka then faced everyone, "Arigatou minna..." she said with a bow.
Chizuru gave her a smile, "In behalf of everyone, all I can say is no pleasure." he replied.
"So what should we do now?" Asuna asked.
"What else? Get outta here of course. We still need to hand this crazy woman to the authorities." Chizuru answered.
Suddenly a powerful gust of wind enters the old fortress.
"Aaaakk! Where did this wind come from?" Asuna-san asked in confusion as she stood on her ground while keeping her grip on Chigusa's hips. The rest kept their foot on the ground while Nodoka holds onto Negi.
"This is a strong wind! Izuku hold on to me!" Chizuru called out.
"I'm already holding on to you!" Izuku called back.
"Is this an attack?" Erza said getting ready.
Then the harsh winds subsided leaving everyone wondering of what's going on.
"Well... that was a shock..." Chizuru mused then he noticed something wrong, "Asuna? Weren't you holding the crazy woman?" he asked.
Asuna blinks for a second then she looks down to her arms as she realized that Chigusa is gone, "What!? Where did she go? I swear I was holding on to her tightly!" she said in confusion.
"Guys! Look!" Koutarou pointed his finger upwards.
Everybody looks up at the second and saw a young adult carrying the unconscious Chigusa in his arms, bridal style. The young adult has a pink slicked back hair and has ruby-red eyes. He wears a white tuxedo with a white rose on his left chest, white pants and black shoes.
"Who in the name of Vince McMahon are you!?" Chizuru demanded.
The young man smiles at them, "Hallo! Thy name is Flirtare and I'm a member of thy Apostles of thy New World and my rank position is a Knight." he introduced himself politely.
"Great... another Apostles is here!" Izuku said sarcastically.
"What are you doing here! And where are you taking Amagasaki!?" Negi demanded.
Flirtare smiles again, "Worry not! I am not here to fight, I am just here to retrieve our little pawn and make sure she won't end up getting captured by you people... you already caught Damascus, so we're not taking any risk." he replied then he shrugs, "Well... it's nice meeting all of you but I got work to do." he declared as a red vortex appears below as he slowly sinks in it.
"Oh no! You're not going anywhere! Luffy! Erza!" Chizuru ordered.
Luffy stretched his arms and launches himself towards the second floor followed by Erza who made a large jump.
"Too slow." Flirtare quipped as he and Chigusa quickly vanished along with the red vortex.
"Damn it!" Erza cursed.
Luffy blinks as he looks around, "Where he go?" he asked while scratching his head under his hat.
Kaede then turns to Chizuru, "By the way, Chizuru-dono. What happened to the girl you fought earlier - de gozaru?" she asked.
Both Chizuru and Izuku looks at each other before running out of the building to the outside and found out that Tsukuyomi is already gone.
"Izuku... remind me to tie her up before leaving." Chizuru said with a blank look.
"Only if you remind me first." Izuku said back with an equal blank look.
Then the rest came out of the old fortress, "Chizuru-san, I think we should leave this place." Negi suggested with Nodoka and Asuna following behind him.
Chizuru nodded, "They may have gotten away but our main objective to save Miss Miyazaki is complete. We'll deal with Chigusa Amagasaki, Tsukuyomi and this Flirtare later... cause I got a feeling that this is far from over." he said as he picks up his shirt.
Everyone then quickly got out of the Forest and met up with Gurizu, whom is glad that they're safe, everybody got on the bus as the bear Hybrid drives them back to the Harle Hotel.
-BREAK-
Harle Hotel
After a tiring rescue mission, everyone who participated in the mission went to their respective rooms. Negi along with Asuna escorted Nodoka back to her room which she was greeted by a teary eyed Yue and a happy Haruna, Koutarou is also greeted by a worried Chizuru Naba and Natsumi with the former engulfing the young boy in a hug much to his dismay, Luffy, Erza and Kaede went to their rooms or dining area for the former and Izuku decided to report the events of the mission to Lelouch.
Meanwhile, Chizuru is currently in his room with Yoshika, both Oohori and Madoka are out of the moment, leaving the two alone in the room. The blonde is lying down on his bed shirtless while Yoshika is healing his wounded back using her magic, Yoshika was actually horrified at first upon seeing the wound on his back and immediately demanded to heal him, this earns them weird looks from everyone, not that they mind.
"Ah... that's the spot..." Chizuru said as if he was taking a dip in a hot spring.
"You really should be careful Chizuru, you're lucky that you've been train to withstand sword attacks." Yoshika chastised.
"Sorry... sorry... but that shadow clone and her sneak attack really caught me off-guard." the blonde reasoned.
"Still you need to be careful." Yoshika said, "Ne, Chizuru... do you think that that girl would go after you... you did say that she's obsessed with strong people." she stated in worry.
"I don't know... but I'm definitely going to keep my guard up. I just can't believe that of all people... I caught her attention... and when I asked Setsuna about that girl earlier... you know what she said." he says.
(Flash Back 30 minutes ago)
Setsuna gave Chizuru a joyful smile before bowing, "She's in you're care." she said.
(End of Flash Back)
Chizuru made a disgruntled look, ''Hell am not gonna deal with that girl! She's creepy as hell!" he said with a shiver.
Yoshika giggles at his comment.
Later, the Fuso Witch finally finished healing the blue eyed blonde as he finally puts on a shirt.
"Thanks again for healing me, I really appreciate it." Chizuru said with a smile.
Yoshika smiled back, "It's no pleasure." she replied.
The two stares at each other passionately but was interupted when someone knocks the door, "Who could that be?" Chizuru asked.
"It's probably Oohori and Madoka." Yoshika said as she stood up and went her way to the door, however she was surprised when she opened the door, "Uhh..." she trails.
"What? Who is it?" Chizuru asked.
Then someone Chizuru didn't expect enters the room... it was Evangeline McDowell followed by Chachamaru Karakuri.
"Y-you're..." Chizuru trails.
Evangeline smirked, "Nice to meet you. Thy name is Evangeline Athanasia Katherine McDowell and this is Chachamaru Karakuri." she introduced herself and her companion.
"Domo." Chachamaru greeted with a bow.
Chizuru blinks for a minute, "Uhh... greetings... but do you any business with me?" he asked in confusion as Yoshika sat next to him.
Evangeline smirked, "Yeah... I wanna talk about something that has been bothering for quite sometime now..." she said before pointing her finger at Chizuru, ''... and it has something to do with you." she declared.
Chizuru eyes widen, "What?" he asked in shock.
-BREAK-
Inside Nodoka, Yue and Haruna's room, Nodoka is seen resting on her bed as Yue came and handed her a glass of water, "Here you go Nodoka." she offered.
"Thank you." Nodoka replied as she took a drink.
Yue then took a sit next to her bed, "I'm so glad that you're okay... I can't thank Negi-sensei and everyone enough for bringing you back." she said.
"It's okay Yue... I am here now. But I still can't shake off the feeling of dread." Nodoka said.
"What do you mean by that?" Yue asked.
"During my time there, I overheard that woman planning of sending an assassin for Negi-sensei if things didn't go her way... I'm really worried for him." Nodoka said.
Yue narrowed her eyes, "Anything else?" she asked.
"If I vaguely remember the rest but from what I heard... someone important from the organization that she's apart of is coming to this kingdom..." Nodoka explained.
"Have you told anyone about this?" Yue asked.
"I already informed Midoriya-san. He's going to speak with their higher-ups about this." Nodoka said before sighing, "I hope nothing bad will happen in the next days." she pondered.
Yue sighed too, "I hope so too." she said.
-BREAK-
Later that night, we see Izuku in the lounge area talking to Lelouch, Ginpachi and Kenshin Himura.
''Is that all that happened?" Lelouch asked the green haired hero in training.
Izuku nodded, "Hai! That's everything including the little information Miss Miyazaki gave to me earlier." he replied.
Ginpachi rubs the his chin, "This is really bothersome... I never thought another member of the Apostles is present in this kingdom and what's worse someone important from that organization is coming. Talk about bad situations getting worse." he stated.
"Lelouch-san... what should we do right now?" Kenshin asked.
Lelouch was in deep thoughts, "I think it's better to continue keeping our guards up and look out for any suspicious activities." he began before turning to Kenshin, "I want you to give this information to the King, they need to know about the upcoming threat." he ordered.
Kenshin nodded, "Will do." he replied.
Then Lelouch then turns to Izuku, "Midoriya-san, would you please get Springfield-san and have him come here, I need him to do me a favor." he requested.
Izuku nodded, "Hai!" he said before leaving the lounge.
"What favor do you need from that kid?" Ginpachi asked while picking his nose.
Lelouch smiled, "You'll see." he replied.
Later... Izuku arrived with Negi with Chamo on his shoulder back to the lounge. Izuku then left to get some rest, leaving Negi with the three AWA Staffs.
"What did you need me for Lamperogue-san?" Negi asked curiously.
"Well... I want you to contact your school's headmaster and as well as Kanto Magic Association, I believe that they need to know what's going on in this Kingdom and have them sent some people who could assists us." Lelouch explained.
"I see... we'll make sure to contact them by tomorrow." Chamo replied in Negi's behalf.
Lelouch nodded, "By the way, how was it working alongside with the AWA?" he asked.
Negi rubs the back of his head sheepishly, "Well... I had fun working along with them... but I really like working alongside with Chizuru-san. Granted, he did scared me at first when he got angry at me for doing things on my own but he really inspires me with his words, even Asuna looks up to him in high-regard. It's no wonder, everyone looks up to him." he stated with a smile.
Lelouch chuckled, "Is that so? Then I'm glad but believe it or not, not everyone from AWA respects Chizuru." he said.
Negi was taken a back, "Huh? Why?" he asked in confusion.
"You see... we're planning to make Chizuru Tachibana the leader of AWA however not everyone from the student body likes the idea." Kenshin explained.
"But there's nothing wrong with Chizuru-san! He's a fun person to be with, why would they hate him?" Negi asked in disbelief.
"It's because they believe that Chizuru doesn't deserve it." Ginpachi answered.
"It did cause Chizuru trouble however after being encourage by his friends, Chizuru managed to get through with it while embracing the mixed reactions he got from everyone." Lelouch said before looking at Negi, "Friends... allies... comrades... having someone to support and look out for you is a very wonderful thing... am I right?" he said.
Negi looks at him for a minute before smiling realizing he meant, "Hai!" he replied.
A/N: And that's it for now. Sorry if the battle scenes are kinda short but don't worry, there will be more battle after a few chapters. As if this chapter, it marks the end of Chigusa's reign as the antagonist and we'll move on with a more sinister villain. And like I said earlier, Tsukuyomi is not done yet, she'll be facing Chizuru again soon even if he don't like it.
This are the character that debuted in this chapter:
Flirtare is an OC of mine.
-OMAKE-
Inside an American-styled comic store somewhere in Harle Kingdom, we see Takeru Ooyama walking inside wearing his yellow Charlie Brown zigzag shirt while looking around for good comics to read when he overheard two unimportant nerds having a conversation.
"Did you read the Action Comic's version of Superman?" the first unimportant nerd asked.
"Yeah... Superman had a blanket on his back." the second unimportant nerd replied.
"He looks like Linus from Peanuts." the first unimportant nerd said with a grin.
The second unimportant nerd grins back, "Yeah... that's lame." he replied.
For some reason... this got Takeru really angry.
He then marched in front of the two unimportant nerds with an angry, "YOU LISTEN HERE YOU TWO STUPID UNIMPORTANT NERDS! LINUS IS FUCKING AWESOME! FUCKING AWESOME!" he roared in anger scaring the two unimportant nerds to death.
Later...
We see Kyoutarou Suga and Hisa Takei dragging away the still fuming Takeru.
"Dude! Calm down! They're just talking about Superman! Not Peanuts!" Kyoutarou reasoned.
"No! They called Charlie Brown's gang lame!" Takeru snapped trying to get away.
"Would you please calm down!" Hisa begged.
Never ever call Peanuts lame. Hope you like the omake, next chapter Negi and Nodoka are going on a date... to where? In an amusement park.
Until then paalam!
