Chapter 6: Everything ends... or begins?
Our protagonists had to wait one more day before they could attack, they needed to rest and heal their wounds… after all their training wasn't that easy.
Sun began to rise, outside a cave in the outskirts of Mahora Campus someone was sat enjoying the sunlight in his face… "this is the last time the sun will rise" he opened his eyes and stood to go inside where the two princesses were being captive.
"just a little more" the man said "I just have to wait until you give them permission to come, vampire"
At that time, in Eva's resort:
"tch, he noticed" Eva stood, she had been spying on him for the last days but he was able to notice it.
Eva walked outside her room, she saw her four … students ready to leave. Eva had already told them about his hideout.
"Master thank you for training us" Negi bowed "we are-"
"You think you are ready to face him?" Eva interrupted in a cold tone "you may give him some fight but… oh whatever, you are you… just be sure to come back, I still haven't taken the payment"
"Oh! Eva-chan trusts us and wants us to come back alive" Asuna teased "she must be worried about us"
"whaaaaaat!?" Eva yelled "urgh just go!"
"hai hai"
"arigatou gozaimasu Eva-san" the two swordswomen said and bowed respectfully before leaving.
"Be sure to come back alive"
Back in the mountains where the mysterious guy kept the princesses prisoners:
"mmm that was faster than I thought" he said aloud "let's test them"
"oi Negi are you sure this is the place?" Asuna asked "I don't see any guardians, traps or anything" Suddenly they were surround by a group of men in black robes, they actually seemed to be shadows,
"great! You just had to talk, Asuna-san" Negi said
"mou! I'll take care of them" Asuna said "Adeat!" her huge sword appeared and with 4 slashes, she beat them all "heh! That was easy" Asuna smirked
"don't get overconfident" Negi spoke "Master said this guy is dangerous… maybe he wants see our abilities first"
"Negi-sensei I found him!" Setsuna spoke "I sent chibi-setsuna to check the zone" the chibi appeared, she was trembling.
"honto?" Negi asked "uh? Chibi-setsuna what happened?"
"th-that m-man i-it's not normal" she answer "t-too much d-d-darkness in h-h-is eyes"
"calm down" Negi told her "where is he?" too afraid of speaking, the chibi pointed a mountain not too far from them"
"Ikuzo" Negi said, and Setsuna made the chibi disappear
Back in the cave, the man knew they were close. He was bored of waiting and decided to begin the ritual he had planned before "mmm let's see… who goes first" the man asked while approaching to Konoka
"don't touch her!" said the other princess
"oh? Well I guess I may start with you" he turned to Yukiko
"ras tel mascir magister pret venus vente, sagita magica biding arrows of air!"
The man was trapped by magical power "oh just in time" he said with his monotone voice
"Well done Negi" Asuna patted him on the back
!let's not celebrate too early" Fuyuko said and the man broke the spell on him "be careful"
"I see you mastered that spell, Negi Springfield-kun"
"eh? H-how do you know my name?" Negi prepared to attack
"hahaha… that hurts Negi-kun" the man said "don't you remember your old witchcraft teacher?# Negi's eyes widened.
"th-that can't be!" Negi said and remembered him "Hiou Haruka!" his companions looked confused
"Negi you knew this guy?" Asuna asked him
"hn" Negi nodded "When I first entered the School of Magic, he was my witchcraft teacher… but he didn't last too long"
"What do you mean?"
"that old geezer of the headmaster put me into prison" the man named Haruka answered
"b-but what you were doing was forbidden!" Negi exclaimed "teaching dark magic…" he lowered his voice
"you still don't understand Negi-kun" Haruka replied "the most powerful people in the world use it! Even the old Konoemon!" everybody's eyes widened "well your father didn't… but he was an idiot, he couldn't even memorize a simple incantation" Haruka mocked
Negi clenched his teeth "don't make fun of him!" Negi threw sagita magcia to him, Haruka didn't make a move and received the arrows.
"hmp!" Negi smiled but then it faded when he saw Haruka standing in the same spot without any scratches "i-impossible" he said.
Haruka yawned "I thought you'll be stronger" he said "oh well I'll continue with the ritual" he turned to the princesses, in that instant the two swordswomen charged against him.
"stop right there" they said at the same time, Haruka turned "weaklings" the two girls were lift in the air and thrown, impacting against Asuna and Negi.
The man yawned again "really you trained for nothing" he casted a strange spell and a barrier of dark magic appeared between him and them "now if you excuse me" he walked to yukiko and the ritual started again.
"hime!" Fuyuko stood and slashed the barrier but nothing happened "kuso! ... argh!" she fell onto her knees.
"shiroki what's-?" Setsuna stopped when she realized that Fuyuko's nails had turned to claws and a pair of white wings came up from her back, after some seconds Fuyuko stood.
"are you-?"
"don't come!" Fuyuko told her "shinmeiryuu ougi: Hyakka Ryoran!!" the cave was full of smoke; when it dispelled Setsuna saw the barrier broken but it was too late, the ritual had finished and Haruka absorbed Yukiko's magic, now he was going for Konoka's too.
"ojousama!" with a great speed she managed to stepped in and stopped him "don't lay a hand on her!" she was ready to attack
"move" he pointed her and she was sent flying ,just like the time before, and impacted with a wall "soon it'll be your turn, don't worry" he told Setsuna. He was about to start the ritual but Konoka was missing; he turned to Negi and Asuna… to see Konoka standing next to them "damn it! I didn't scent them"
"don't give you back to the opponent!" Setsuna jumped from behind "shinmeiryuu ougi: Hyakkuretsu oukazan!" she landed and went to konoka's side (A/N: Fuyuko carried yukiko-stil unconscious- to Negi's side too)
"ojousama are you ok?" Setsuna asked her
"secchan!" the brunette princess hugged her "oh secchan I was so scared that something might have happened to you" Setsuna didn't say anything and hugged her back.
"now I'm pissed" Haruka said
The four warriors (actually 3 and a mage XD) stood in front of the two princesses in order to protect them.
"hm, let's change the place, the cave will fall if we continue here" he snapped his fingers and they appeared in front of Mahora School "saa… let's dance" he said evilly and 5 shadows surround them
"I've seen this trick before" Asuna said and slashed the shadows but they appeared again "what!?"
"hehe this are my real shadows" haruka said and "the others were for testing you"
"kusooo!!" Asuna slashed again and again "this will never end"
"Shiroki" setsuna called her
"I know" she nodded
"Negi-sensei, please watch Konoka-ojousama and Yukiko-hime" Setsuna asked him
"what are you going to do?" he asked but setsuna didn't answer and just turned, Negi understood what she was planning "okay!"
"Secchan wait!" Konoka hugged her from behind "what-?" Konoka was interrupted by Setsuna who suddenly turned around and hugged her so they cannot face each other.
"just stay here ojousama" Setsuna whispered "I'll be back soon, I promise" with that she turned to face Haruka.
"we count on you Negi-san, Asuna-san" Fuyuko said and they run slashing the shadows in their way.
"that was adorable.. hahaha… it makes me sick" Haruka said
"Sakurazaki, transform now" Fuyuko told her, Setsuna nodded and started to change
"oohh.. This'll be fun" he said and took off his robe to reveal two katanas in both sides of his belt. He unsheathed them and got into fight stance "let's do this" he charged against them and attacked (A/N: something like Setsuna's first fight against Tsukiyomi Un.n). The only thing they could do was to block and dodge, they couldn't see any opening.
"shinmeryuu ougi: zankuusen!" Fuyuko launched an attack to distance them from him.
"not bad hanyous" he said cleaning a small cut in his arm, he then heal it with magic "oh! The princess' magic is really useful now"
Fuyuko clenched her teeth and wanted to attack but she was stopped by setsuna "calm down, don't be reckless" she told her
"let's use it!" Fuyuko replied "there's no other way" Setsuna closed her eyes and after a brief moment she opened them and nodded.
"oh the hanyous are planning something" he said "well come!"
Fuyuko and Setsuna's ki started to rise even faster than when they were training, they swords glow brighter than before and they were ready to attack.
"Secret technique: 1000 lighting tears!" (A/N: What kind of name is that? U¬¬) Haruka covered himself with his katanas but the attack was too strong and ended up exploding.
"we… got… him" Setsuna said panting
"y-yeah" Fuyuko was panting too "it's… over"
The spot where haruka were was covered with smoke, but "ittai… ittai… ittai ittai!" it was dispelled, Haruka was still alive but severally wounded, half of his face was covered by blood like his entire body "hahaha!" he laughed like a maniac "you'll pay for that" he disappeared and re-appeared in front of Setsuna, he pierced through a body with his bare hand… Fuyuko's body was pierced, she manage to save Setsuna, Haruka distanced from them and tasted her blood from his hand.
"shiroki!" Setsuna kneeled "shiroki! Hang on!"
"sakurazaki… what are… you doing?" She asked "finish him… don't mind… me" she was closing her eyes
"shiroki no!" Setsuna raised her voice "w-what about Yukiko-hime?" that made Fuyuko opened them again.
"yuki…chan… could you… tell her not to.. worry… I'll always be … by … her… side" Fuyuko paused
"I'll make him pay! I promise!" Setsuna told her
"take my sword" those were Fuyuko's last words before closing her eyes. Setsuna did as she said and stood up facing Haruka.
"HAHAHA! How pitiful!" Haruka yelled "poor you! HAHA!"
"you…!" Setsuna's blood was boiling, her eyes turned red and her ki raised even more.
"I'll need all my strength now" Haruka raised his hand and all the shadows where gather there, he then eat them and started to transform into a full demon "HAHAHA! I can feel your friend's blood and that princess' magic inside me!" his voice changed into a demon's.
Setsuna remembered him drinking Fuyuko's blood from his hand "You'll pay!" both swords glow, she was going to use her secret technique again
"Setsuna-san, don't!" Negi yelled "you body won't resist another!" but Setsuna didn't listen and charged against him, Haruka did the same.
"Secret technique!" Setsuna's voice echoed
"shiroki… I can feel your power through you sword" Setsuna said mentally and Haruka saw another figure standing behind Setsuna "it can't be!"
"1000 lighting tears!" they impacted and a huge explosion was caused, the smoke dispelled reaveling the winner… or winners, Setsuna pierced through Haruka's body
"damn hanyous!" were his last words before disappearing. Setsuna fall but she supported herself with Yunagi "I did it-"she was tackled by a worried Konoka.
"secchan!" she said crying "don't ever do that again!"
"hehe… don't worry Kono-chan I won't" Setsuna smiled to her and they both stood. They approached to Negi who was stood next to Fuyuko; Setsuna noticed that next to her body was Yukiko, now conscious, calling for her knight.
"Yukiko-san, I'm sorry but…she-" Setsuna started
"I can feel it" Yukiko said "she's still alive but her ki is too weak…"
"she's alive!?" Setsuna thought "Negi-sensei is there a way to save her?"
"there is!" Chamo appeared from Negi's pocket
"chamo-kun!" Negi said "which way is it?"
"simple! Pactio!" Chamo said taking out a chalk
"but I'm too weak now, I used all my magic against those shadows"
"mmm how about you jouchan?" chamo asked Yukiko, she lowered her head
"I would but that man absorbed all my magic"
"kuso! There must be another way!" Setsuna said
"I'll do it" Konoka spoke making everybody's eyes were on her "I still have my magic"
"decided!" Chamo quickly draw a pactio circle, Konoka got near Fuyuko who was still unconscious "she resembles so much to Secchan" she bend down to kiss her, Yukiko closed her eyes and Setsuna turned away, they didn't want to see their beloved ones kiss and being kiss by another.
A purple light glow and a few seconds later Fuyuko opened her eyes "uh? What… what happ-?" she was tackled by Yukiko
"fuyu-chan no baka!" she hugged her crying
"hehe that reminds me of you two" Asuna said looking at Konoka and Setsuna, they both blushed and looked away.
"hohoho what a lovely picture" a man's voice spoke from behind (A/N: nop, it's not santa XD)
"gramps!" Konoka-and everyone else- were surprised to see him
"eehh you were here all this time!!??" Asuna yelled
"oh no no" Konoemon replied "I was discussing some… terms with a certain witch"
"Witch?" Fuyuko remembered the payment for rescue Yukiko and stood afraid of transform again.
"Fuyuko-kun don't worry you won't transform" Konoemon assured her "the payment was to take your human part, which means, take off the seal that the Kuroki family put into you… the witch took it off but due to the pactio you made with my granddaughter a new seal was put into you"
"in other words, you won't change thanks to konoka" Asuna said
"indeed" Konoemon said "now Fuyuko-kun and Yukiko come with me, the rest of you should go and rest…"
They did as he said, everyone returned to their own room to rest. In Asuna's room the lights were out, Asuna was sleeping next to Negi-as usual- and Konoka was in her bed but couldn't sleep, she felt cold; she needed the warm arms of her protector, so she silently went out of her room and walked to Setsuna's. She didn't knock afraid of waking her up, and the door was opened, she entered to find her secchan peacefully sleeping in her bed. She smiled and walked to her.
She laid next to her friend "you save me again, secchan. Thank you" she whispered while caressing her cheek. Who knows what Setsuna was dreaming about; she put an arm around konoka's waist drawing her close "kono-chan…"
"did I wake her?" Konoka thought but then she noticed that setsuna was still sleeping "uf…"
"I love you" Setsuna said in her dreams
Konoka's eyes widened at the confession and the smiled "I know, I love you too" she said mentally before falling sleep in her beloved's arms.
