Unequally, Continuation. Opening the next chapter up with a BANG!
- Quote:

Chaos
Kakizaki Misa's grandmother had always been fond of a saying of her own. "You can learn more about a person in a single moment of danger than a whole lifetime of peace." Misa had forgotten about it along most of her grandma's stupid sayings, but for some reason she could guess, now it was coming back to her with a vengeance.
As she rolled away from the impact area as best as she could, trying to do it the way Kuro had taught her, and pulling Sakurako back with herself, she could see the differences in both Negis' reactions. The older Negi was an experienced warrior, and so was his Asuna, and his Setsuna. They, along Takahata and Eishun, rushed ahead to the frontline, deploying themselves quickly around the crazed Evangeline as if they had practiced it beforehand.
Misa's own Negi, on the other hand, still acted like a teacher first, not a warrior. His first instinct was jumping to protect his students instead of engaging the enemy. Misa suspected the older Negi just loved the fray itself to some degree, even if he wasn't fully aware of it; but dimly, she also could recognize his apparent wilingness to jump into danger held a considerable degree of trust on his partners, of confidence on their own ability to protect themselves and the others. Negi-kun, on the other hand, still saw them as the children under his care (ironically enough). His first instinct on that chaotic first instant after everything went to hell was leaping for a student and shielding her with his body, even as he quickly casted a barrier that proved to be enough to stop the worst of the hit they took. Which wasn't that much compared to the damage at Ground Zero, which was now a shattered mess of ice. But still, even a tiny fraction of the blast was enough to undo Negi-kun's shielding just as soon as it had saved their lives, stunning him and sending him falling into the arms of the girls he had just tackled to relative safety.
Chisame hadn't been sitting particularly close to Negi at the time. Asuna was closer to him when it all started, and so were Hakase and Sakurako. Yet, without even realizing it, he dove over the table for her.
"You can learn more about a person in a single moment of danger than a whole lifetime of peace."
Misa was given another reason to dislike her grandmother's shadow. But she couldn't dwell on it now.
She could now see Haruna had also, with a speed that had amazed even Paru-sama, doodled a crude barrier of sorts to block the blast, consisting of little more than a gigantic rectangular form covering their fronts. Like Negi's barrier, it had been far from taking the worst of the initial attack, but it had been also shattered just as soon as it was summoned, making Haruna fall to a knee, panting and surprised at how much pain she was feeling. "Are you sure this was only 1% the damage...?-!" and she coughed.
"A-Are... Are you okay...? Hey!" Chisame shook the dazed Negi in her arms as softly as she could to avoid hurting him, yet forcefully enough to snap him out of it. It seemed to work, since a second later, Negi was blinking and staring at her face.
"I... I'm okay, Chisame-san. You? Everyone?-!" he called out, now looking around in all directions. Oh, now he remembered them, Misa thought...
"Chisame-sama!" Matoi sprang back to consciousness behind her crush. "Are y—"
"I'm fine, yeah!" Chisame grumbled, readying the scepter. "Hey! Hakase?-!"
Satomi groggily crawled up from under the downed table, even as Sakurako sparng apart from Misa (great, she too?) and to the scientist's side. "Oh dear, what went wrong with the chemical this ti— Oh, hey, Chisame, Saku-chan, are you alive...?"
Misa gave a step ahead to Negi's side, only to notice a sharp pain on her left knee. She looked down and saw she had a nasty bleeding cut over it, and cursed under her breath.
"Ah, Misa-san...!" Negi gasped.
"I'm fine, I can walk!" the cheerleader held a hand up, proving it by getting to his other side, across from Chisame and Matoi. Misora was staggering back to her feet a few steps away, and Ayaka was helping Makie back up while Keiichi did the same for a stunned Sora. Chao had recovered remarkably well, and Roberta already was in front of Ayaka, trying to shield her with her open gun umbrella. Haruka and Natsuki were getting back up supporting each other, while Kuro and Valkyrie Black took a middle ground protecting position between the frontline and everyone else. A Chamo was unconscious on the floor with spiralling eyes, while the other one coughed a couple steps apart. Kero-san was half buried under a momentarily fainted Nodoka's body, but Psycho Purple already was pulling her up and patting her cheeks.
All of that in a single few moments.
"Adeat!" Konoeko was shouting, pulling a card out very swiftly and changing into a white and dark blue ceremonial outfit, armed with a set of divination I-Ching sticks that were joined together, allowing her to manipulate them around like a whip or a nunchakus. She stood close to Negi and those with him, staring straight at the heart of the conflict.
"Master!" Erebus said, as they slowly, carefully, tried to surround her. "I know you're too powerful to let yourself be controlled! Snap out of it!"
Chachamaru, the one who had been closest to Eva when she cut loose, was missing an arm that had been literally flung into a nearby wall. She picked it up, even as Hakase finally gained enough awareness to notice it all. "CHACHAMARU!-!-!" she screamed like only a horrified mother can.
But Chachamaru only nodded her way with calm and aplomb. "I'm still 78% operational, Hakase-san. I'm sure Mc Dowell-sama still keeps some control over herself, or I'd be out of operation right now..."
"Can you still see?-!" Hakase yelled.
"55% in my left eye, 83% in the left one. Wait, it's 81% now. Oh, this is no good. Switching over to emergency mode to regain full operability capacities..."
Meanwhile, pausing to gaze smugly at the extent of her work, ignoring the appraoching guards who poured in all directions arriving to the destroyed all, Evangeline stood with her hands on her hips and spoke, even more arrogantly than usual...
Is this okay, SCM?
Konoeko's Pactio is Konoka's Armor Pactio from Negima?!

Unequally. Dat Yue.
- Quote:

The Inn:
Ayase Yue wheeled back on her butt as she saw the naked pink haired girl before her pulling her tail... yes, an actual, honest, moving tail... back, staring at Yue with a curious, wide-eyed expression. Rito-san had just slumped down on his face and stomach, a few steps away, briefly unconscious from the hit he had just taken from a startled Ayase. The other girl who had appeared with them, the blueish haired one, was just sighing, taking a blanket off the sleeping Paper Clone Asuna, and covering herself with it.
"You pulled my tail, " the busty one said, sounding very serious. "Do you know what that means?"
"Th-That can't be, since humans have no tails, hence your s-statement is a logical fallacy, " Yue stammered, trying to reach for something blunt and heavy in the darkness. "Also, please don't hurt me."
Not exactly a very badass thing to say, but back then, Yue was only starting. And she hadn't found anything blunt and heavy yet.
The naked girl bopped a fist on her own head. Yue was somehow reminded of Makie. Just much hotter. Wait, she hadn't just thought that. "Oops! Sorry, I forgot the whole deal about everyone here being humans."
She stood up and placed a hand on her generous chest, as a shock faced Yue found herself looking up, from her sitting position on the floor, at the stop where her legs met. "I'm Lala Satalin Deviluke, first princess of the Deviluke Empire, daughter of Gid, destroyer of worlds! I came for the one you call 'Haruna-chan', and yes, I'll marry you!"
Run facepalmed.
Yue's mouth changed from a X to a giant O. "W-What?-!"
"Well, pulling the tail is a very serious marriage offer in Deviluke, as long as you're of legal age for engaging, " the weird girl began, apparently taking every word very seriously despite her chipper tone. "Technically, if I were a commoner, you could simply fill a few dozens forms to make a case for it being an accident, but since even touching royalty at all is a delicate issue, you should have little to no chance of convincing Dad it wasn't intentional."
"Wh-What?-!" Yue repeated, then added, "Y-You just showed up without any warning! Your tail right next to my hand!"
"Oooohhh..." Rito gurgled, struggling back up on his hands and knees. "I had the weirdest and scariest wet dream ever..."
He took a look at Run, Yue and Lala, yelped, and fainted like a dead weight on his back.
"You Earthlings have weak constitutions, don't you?" Lala wondered aloud, blinking.
Yue finally found a book and tossed it at the buxom girl's head. "S-Stay back! I warn you! I'm a trained library explorer! I know how to kill a man with an encyclopedia!" she boasted, presumably without any real basis. Presumably. "I'm far stronger than I look, and I know good lawyers to boot!"
"Ahhhhhh, a girl with so many talents...!" Lala gushed, putting her hands together. "I'm so glad Rito found ourselves a good wife! Glad to meet you, Miss Haruna-chan...!"
"I'M NOT HARUNA, EITHER!" Yue pointed at the still soundly sleeping Copy Haruna. "That's her!"
Lala blinked, walked over to Haruna's side, crouched down next to her, and poked her right cheek with a finger. "She's a little pale."
"She's usually less pale. And less of a heavy sleeper, " Yue answered reluctantly. "Some cosplay group annoyed with her sent you to prank her, right?" she asked, hoping in her heart that was true.
"Cosplay group?" Lala blinked. "Is that some sort of terrorist cell?"
"Lady Lala, this is no carbon based lifeform!" a distinctly quirly and nasal voice spoke next. Much to Yue's further confusion, it seemed to come from the only thing that girl was wearing, a small and white round ornament on her long hair. "I don't think it's even truly alive!"
"Ehhhh? Rito fell in love with a mannequin?" Lala said loudly. Then, nodding to herself, she admitted, "Well, he looks the type..."
An annoyed Run groaned while finishing buttoning up a shirt and pants just taken from Konoka's clothes. "Peke, couldn't you just dress her up already? You should know humans get uneasy around other naked humans!"
"But I'm not a human..." Lala innocently said.
"SAME DIFFERENCE, YOU AIRHEAD!" Run yelled at her. The paper copies stirred up in their sleep, but they still didn't wake up.
Yue sighed, running a hand over her face. "Very well. Let's just run this one fact at a time. You two are...?"
"Aliens, " Run answered before Lala could speak again.
"And you're here to enact bloody interstellar revenge on Haruna because...?" Yue went on, half still hoping that was a joke and half too jaded to be that shocked after the whole affair with Kero-san and then the Cinema Town fiasco.
"Oh, we aren't here to dispose of her. Otherwise, we'd have blown the whole building, " Lala smiled charmingly.
Yue cringed. "Okay. Thanks for not doing so, then. In that case, what brings you to look for Haruna?"
"Well, I know she's Rito's girlfriend, so I came to ask her if she's going to abandon him, try fighting for him, or becoming our royal concubine, " Lala explained very helpfully, as if she was just talking about the weather.
"Knowing Haruna, I'd say she'll take the third— Wait! What's your relationship with Rito-sempai?-!"
"I'm his fiancee!"
"He also pulled the tail, " Run explained, crossing her arms and looking away.
Yue sweatdropped. "So that's it, huh... And why did you come here naked? Hurry to seal the deal with Haruna? I think even she will think you're jumping the gun..."
"Sorry, my teleporter malfunctioned!" Lala laughed, scratching the back of her head.
"It never worked well in the first place!" Run hissed.
"Well, " Yue breathed out wearily. "The real Haruna isn't here right now. I believe I'm the only actual person in this room..."
"Until we got here!" Lala smiled.
Yue looked at her. "And even after that."
Lala blinked again. "Ah?"
"Forget it, " Yue waved a hand. "Earth humor."
"You're Haruna-chan's friend, aren't you?"
"Yes, I am."
"Do you think she'll be willing to marry us?"
"Do you have a pulse?"
"Ah, why, yes, of course! Why do you ask?"
"Then I'll give you good odds. On the other hand, I am not going with that."
"The penalty for leading a Deviluke princess into marriage and then ditching her is death..." Run felt like pointing out.
Yue shuddered. "Death?"
"It's the permanent interruption of all vital signs in living organisms after their systems are unable to continue—" Lala started a totally non-ironic explanation.
"I know what's death!" Yue said. "I just want to know why!"
Run took over again. "Well, it's considered an insult to the royal family as a whole. In the most serious cases, your whole planet might be obliterated. It's backwater and out of most jurisdictions anyway, so the federations wouldn't be able to interfere. Heck, even the Green Lantern Corps never come here, from what I've read..."
"B-B-But we can't marry! We're girls!" Yue yelled.
"Is that a legal impediment here?" Lala asked with genuine curiosity.
"And we just met!" Yue continued.
"But we already know a fair bit about each, ehhh—!" Lala froze in mid sentence. "What's your name anyway...?"
"YUE! AYASE YUE!"
"Ah, that sounds so cute!" Lala shook her hands happily. "Glad to have you onboard, AYASE YUE, friend of Haruna-chan!"
"DON'T TOUCH ME AGAIN UNTIL YOU'VE PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!"

Hit whatever your inspiration does strongest.
Then bridge those gaps--it's how I write most of the time.
Speaking of--GHQ excerpt.
- Quote:
-
“Not a bad look for you,” Lunzard said, stroking his handlebar mustache. “Perhaps you'll gain the maturity to back it up.”
“I see,” Konoka said.
Lunzard took a moment to pull up a sheet of paper, and handed it to Konoka.
“What's this?” The overlord asked, taking it.
“A list of EEEEVIL things to do. It must come natural to you before you're ready to deal with the likes of the other overlords!” He declared. “Demons listen to power first, but charisma and fear come at a very close second! And we currently know that, for all of your power, you can't consistently wield it. And for that, we must build you a reputation that has nothing to do with that power.”
“Oh~,” Konoka nodded in understanding. Lunzard knew how to help when he really wanted to! “Well, I'm off!”
“Wait a minute!” Lunzard called, but Konoka skipped off before his words could register. He sighed. “Maybe I'm actually being paranoid for once. She can't be that incompetent at the simple tasks I put there, right?”
----
Satsuki, from the time she could actually carry a conversation, always heard from her mother, “Always keep a cool head. No matter what.”
“What's a cool head mean?” Her younger self had asked then.
“It means to never panic, and always keep your thoughts under control. When you see things as they are, it's a lot easier to solve problems.” Her mother had giggled as the then young Satsuki climbed up the stepstool to watch her cook.
It was something she always took to heart for most of her life. It didn't make things necessarily easy for her, but it allowed her to always take the most logical and straightforward approach to nearly anything. As such, she was content with life, and many people around her applauded her down to earth personality.
That all changed last year.
Mahora had been her ticket to a legendary culinary arts school. Naturally she had been a shoo-in, but someone else very close to her talent and much needier wound up winning. Satsuki was much too smart to stake everything on a scholarship, but at her current rate, she'd be unable to afford much outside of high school. She put a lot of work for that, even though somehow, it failed.
She wouldn't let that bother her, right?
Opting to hone her trade, she retreated to a personal vacation home—only to face abduction by Sir Sweet. Despite this setback, she wouldn't let that get to her, considering he respected her talents. She would bide her time and find a way to free herself.
But Konoka changed all that. Saving her all those times had filled her with strange emotions she did not expect to experience. No, she knew what they were—but how, or better yet, why—evaded her. Even now, as she was preparing a late snack for the busy overlord, Satsuki couldn't help but wonder why she felt so... drawn to her more than she had anyone else. Maybe she might find out as she brought over her plate. “Here, Konoka-san.” She noted that Konoka looked somewhat concerned.
“Thanks,” Konoka said, taking a moment to examine her food. “By the way, what are these?” She ate one, enjoying it immensely. “They're good.”
“They're called hushpuppies,” Satsuki answered.
“Ah!” she said after swallowing one. A beat. “Ooh! I can check that off my list!”
“List?” Satsuki asked.
Konoka, after marking something, handed it over to Satsuki. The cook, looking it over, began to read select portions of it out loud, albeit low enough in volume that Konoka barely heard her. “List of things Evil Overlords should and should not do.” Okay... “As a person who must have a heart of evil, I must be willing to do things like the following, when practicality implies. Eat puppies. Burn orphanages. Extort people.” She turned to Konoka. “Ummm...”
“Well, I ate hushpuppies. Those are puppies, right? This list isn't so bad after all!” Konoka said. “Thanks, Satsuki-chan!”
“I have no idea if you're just that innocent or just that shrewd.” Satsuki deadpanned. When Konoka flashed her an innocent looking smile, Satsuki sighed. It was likely some quasi-combination of both.

Yep, what Cygnus said. Back when the chapters were shorter and I wasn't fully co-writing with SCM, I used to write them in strictly linear order. I'll likely revert to that after the 2814 crossover is over.

Welp. Whether we get deleted or not, I just got banned again, for posting a suggestion for how they should modify the front page to work with the new content policy. Apparently, this did not go over well. :angry:

No, it really happened. Admittedly, I was being rather sarcastic when I suggested that they should cut the word "buttload" to avoid offending people, so I probably should have seen it coming ...
