I'll most likely never write this, mostly due to being too potentially game-breaking. But!
During the final battle of Mundus Magicus, something happens while Asuna slashes at the Lifemaker. The clash of anti-magic with the creator of that whole world at the core of a vortex point between the worlds creates a time-space rip that sends the consciousnesses of Asuna and all those present and really close to her back in time.
Cue Chapter 1 of Negima. Negi wakes up in the train with his memories of everything that happened up to Volume 36. But all of 2-A (except Chao, who wasn't there) also wake up that morning with their memories of the whole series save the last two volumes. However, their bodies remain at the same level they had at Volume 1. They have lost their pactios as well. The rest of the world remains the same. Not even Fate and Co. or Ala Rubra remember anything because reasons (okay, you can come up with a separate scenario where they also do).
What happens from there? The real diversions kick in from the festival onward. For the most part, Ala Alba with foreknowledge of the earlier stuff merely changes how they go about them, negating a few susprise attacks and incurring even more harem hijinks instead (or in the case of KonoSetsu, even more yuri hijinks). With knowledge of Chao's plans ahead of time, they skip the one week future arc and more or less spend that time hashing out the moral implications (and then they throw Chao for a loop by understanding why she did it).
They're all better prepared for the magical world arc... but probably still get split up and have to join together.
Then Konoka panics when Tsukuyomi goes stabbity, interferes and then gets stabbed, only to wake up three years later as a demon lord so it's still a bad en*shot*

Chao-sympathizers such as Hakase, Satsuki, and Mana are also going to have the future memories, so Chao will know they know she knows they know...
What I was thinking is that Mages vs. Mars would find a way to escalate beyond the canon one, with now-clued-in class members swelling the ranks of both sides, but it'd also make sense for it to be reduced to a philosophical argument over a nice game of Martian chess (which, conveniently, has exactly the rules that either side can use as metaphors for their arguments).

Except that with their knowledge of what happens afterwards, are Mana and Satomi still going to agree with Chao that revealing everything will make it better? Mana, in particular, is starting to admire Negi's progress -- is she willing to sacrifice that for Chao's ideals, even if she remembers sharing them?

Hm, good question. I think Hakase, at least, is likely to stick with Chao. They do seem to be friends, and Satomi doesn't spend much time hanging around Negi where she could be getting impressed by him.

Never Live It Down.
Over the years, the team would often run into heavy moral dilemmas of different kinds. Frequently, there were no easy answers. They would discuss them with diverging opinions, and more often than not, with heat and zeal. Then, generally, Akira would step in, give her opinion, and expect for it to be followed.
Even now, those opinions were met with acerbic glares from the most hardened and cynical ones. And despite everything, the question still would be uttered. "Seriously? And what gave you the moral high ground on this?"
Then Akira would always, calmly, answer with the same two simple words. "Sports Festival."
They always would shut up and follow her cue.

My Hero.
And, as the demons gathered around tiny Negi spreading fiery destruction, and one of them lunged ahead for him and Nekane...
... a large, colorful van crashed down on the demon from nowhere, smashing it down. A funny looking head popped out of it. Literally.
"Good mornin'!"
Negi's small face lit up. "Ah...! Uncle Grandpa...!"
"Negi!" the funny looking short man opened his arms. "Oh, but look at how you've grown! And that's Nekane over there, I guess?" "Um, UG, " a green bipedal reptile poked on one of his shoulders from behind. "Don't look now, but it seems we've arrived in the middle of a bloodthisrty, or rather petrifying-thirsty, demon attack..."
Uncle Grandpa looked down at Negi. "Is that true, Negi?"
"Isn't it freaking obvious!-?" one of the demons yelled while sweatdropping.
Negi sniffled and nodded.
The short man frowned and pulled his pants up, way up. "Okay then! I'm going to help you, Negi!"
And that was how Negima ended up becoming too weird for SHAFT to adapt, how Negi ended up driving all of 3-A and Cosmo Entelecheia insane, and how all his Pactios ended up staged by a talking slice of pizza.

Hakase and Godel.
Other than being always refered to by their family names, the glasses, and the slightly detached asocial-sometimes-bordelining-the-sociopathic-too-focused-on-their-goals attitude (which never was the basis for a healthy relationship), they didn't have a lot in common.
But mostly, she was as different from Arika as you could possibly get.
On the other hand, maybe that was the best for him.
It still creeped everyone out, though.

Unfair.
Asuna thought it was a bit unfair, how life seemed to stubbornly want to repeat itself in cycles without respect or consideration for people, who after all were their own beings with their own desires and goals. That was, and she realized it, probably a strange thing coming from her, who usually wasn't associated with such deep thoughts, but she didn't care, as often was the case with her.
Not when there were other things so much more important to think about.
Just like his father, Negi had become this huge, ultra-powerful dashing hero with an annoying tendency to wander around the lands either alone or hanging with macho idiots, and just like his father, it had been only love with a single strong willed aristocrat that made him settle for good, for now at least, leaving a trail of heartbroken girls after him.
But even more annoyingly, this time destiny had made a slight change exactly where it shouldn't have, and he hadn't married the strong willed heterochromatic princess this time. Instead, he had married the strong willed, stubborn blonde, which objectively was likely close enough, but not so much in Asuna's unspoken (for once!) opinion.
And just like her mother, that annoying blonde had an adorable daughter. And just like her mother, six years after Arika-chan's birth, she had tried bearing his second child. It would be a boy, the doctors had told her. Back then, only Chisame, annoyingly genre savvy as she was, recognized the signs, but she kept herself quiet, hoping for the best. Sadly, just like most often, she wasn't wrong.
Just like her mother, Ayaka lost that child.
But the most frustrating and unfair thing, Asuna thought, was this time, just this once, story couldn't repeat itself in one detail. This time, she couldn't just kick Ayaka and make her chase her around to forget her woes. Those times never could come back.
So instead, she had to resort to hug that horribly annoying and sweet and precious person to comfort her. And she kept her in her arms as she wept, and until she joined her at it.
It was unfair, how she couldn't do more for her than that.

Mahou Sensei of El Hazard.
Fate hummed. "What do you mean?"
"It seems they are nowhere in Mundus Magicus," the Master of the Graves informed. "Whatever happened during the explosion of the Gateport, it seems it expulsed them out of this world... one way or another."
Fate looked slightly troubled. "Do you mean they may be dead?" That never had ben his intention, and judging from the way Tsukuyomi was paling, she hadn't wished for such an outcome, either. Even if only because it meant she and Sakurazaki never could slay each other now.
The Master of the Graves looked down. "Perhaps. A veritable shame if true, but who knows? The effects of tampering with transdimensional gates often may include the strangest results..."
---
"A teacher...?" Miz Mishtal's eyes grew starry and wide then, before she glomped Negi in an airtight hug. "A PUBLIC EMPLOYEE! STEADY INCOME!"
"What," Shayla said.
"I knew she was desperate for marriage, but THIS side of her, I didn't know that..." Afura faintly disapproved.
---
Queen Diva smiled at her assembled troops. "Bugrom! Behold, the leader who shall lead us to an all new era of greatness! The savior of our species! Our trump card in the unending war against our opressers! Behold... THE PINK EMPRESS!"
Makie's face twitched as she looked at all the lined rows and rows of huge, icky bugs saluting her. "I think I'm going to be ill...!"
---
"Ahhhhhh...." Ifurita moaned softly as the strong hands of her Master, the wonderful person who had synched with her, twisted her winding key again. She leaned ahead, cheeks slightly flushed, once it was done. "Thank you..."
Her Master turned around. "Now it's my turn. Please," she softly requested, showing Ifurita the key attached to her own artificial skin. Ifurita nodded, placed her hands on the key, an a moment later, there was another long drawn "Ahhhhhhh..."
---
In the end, Asuna never realized she had gained the power of seeing through illusions upon arrival, since everyone chalked it up to Magic Cancel. She still kicked Gallus' ass regardless. As for Yue, she had the worst fate of them all. Falling with Fatora and Alielle was a much worse harem situation than the one she would have had in Ariadne...

Chisame's Lonely Youth
Chisame wasn't looking forward to this.
Oh, sure, her mother sent her off on the train to the new boarding school with the token wishes to 'be careful' and 'make lots of friends', but the bespectacled redhead knew better.
Her mother was just happy to get the little weirdness-magnet out of the house for the next several months.
And Chisame knew that's exactly what she was. For as long as she could remember, she'd had a mysterious power. Dwelling within her body, was a phantom that could not be seen, heard, or otherwise interacted with, except by herself. It would occasionally come out and grab things for Chisame, whether she intended to get them or not.
Chisame had, initially, attempted to convince her parents that she had some kind of spirit messing with her, that it was responsible for the bizarre happenings that seemed to happen in her proximity.
Being a young child, these assertions were of course dismissed as the type of fantasy typical to a girl of her age.
On realizing that she was cursed to deal with the phantom on her own, she stopped talking about it, and started retreating into herself. The dreams and hopes of childhood wilted and died within Chisame. More and more, Chisame gradually immersed herself in anime, videogames, and the internet. She didn't really even care what world she was hiding in, as long as it was different from the hell of the one she lived in.
Against the people who, in their naivete, attempted to reach out to her and assure her that she wasn't alone, she erected a wall of sarcasm and indifference.
They didn't know how it felt, they didn't have the right to lecture her. Such were the kinds of thoughts running through Chisame's head when she pushed people away from her.
...Chisame Hasegawa had lived a very lonely youth.

A Bizarre Opening Day
All in all, the first day at Mahora was more or less what she might have expected. Her classmates as a whole were annoyingly loud and obnoxious. The teacher gave her a hard time about staying on her laptop for the whole class, though he began to relent when she got her schoolwork out of the way and behaved herself while those twin kindergarteners kept wreaking havoc. How the hell did they move up to middle school already, anyway? Just from watching them for one class, Chisame could observe that they didn't have anything near the maturity to be skipping grades.
Chisame huffed in annoyance as she climbed the steps of her dorm building. It didn't matter. She'd effectively filed away most of her classmates under 'annoying people'. She'd just put up with them when she had to, and ignore them when she didn't.
Still, it seemed there was one classmate that Chisame would have to deal with much more than the others: her roommate, one Misa Kakizaki.
As she came up on the door of their room, Chisame recalled that despite the typical irritating classmates and professor, she had noticed a few bizarre things about her classes.
There was a girl, seated a few rows ahead of her, who was pretty obviously a freaking robot. Whether everyone else didn't know, or just didn't care, Chisame herself neither knew nor cared. Also - perhaps because Chisame herself was haunted by a spirit - she had been able to feel some sort of a presence from the window seat in the frontmost row.
Then, aside from the kindergarteners, there were also some students who, judging by the height and bust size, must have been either held back a few years, or grew so fast as to defy logic.
Chisame softly cursed when the doorknob wouldn't turn. Her roommate locked it, apparently. And Chisame hadn't been issued a key yet. Irritation getting the better of her, she knocked the door a bit harder than she might've strictly needed to.
After ten seconds, there was no response. However, the lights were on and Chisame could hear music coming through the door, somebody was clearly home. Losing patience, Chisame called up her phantom to make itself useful. As she had grown somewhat, the form of the spirit haunting her had become more distinct, and it now took the form of a well-ironed tuxedo.
The phantom tuxedo arose from her body, and then easily moved through the doorway like a ghost. Chisame was now able to see the interior of the room, and turned the tuxedo around to face the door, before willing the end of its empty sleeve to manipulate the lock.
Hearing the click to signify that she could enter, Chisame withdrew the spirit back into her body, and then opened the door.
A small kitchen/dining area to her left, and a bathroom splitting off of that. A bedroom/living area to her right, with a bunk bed. On the lower bed was a pink-haired girl Chisame's age, plugged into a portable music player and jamming along with an electric guitar.
... At least she's decent at it, Chisame admitted. Having to room with a decent musician was infinitely preferable to rooming with a terrible one, if nothing else.
Chisame considered checking the fridge to get a drink, but changed her mind. She'd already broken in, even if Kakizaki hadn't noticed. It'd be a real bitch move not to at least let Misa know she was even there.
Irritated on general principle, Chisame set down her bag and marched over to her roommate. Just as she was about to roughly shake Misa, Chisame fell on her butt in shock.
"The hell?!"
The startled shout got the guitarist's attention, who abruptly stopped playing and jumped in her seat, hitting her head against the bottom of the upper bed.
Groaning in pain, Misa muttered, "Man, I hope that doesn't bruise...."
Then, turning to her new roomie, Misa put her hands on her hips and scowled. "I hope you're pleased about scaring me out of my skirt like that, Hase...gawa..."
Misa gradually realized how freaked out Chisame was, and her aggravation turned to concern. "Hey, you okay? What spooked you?"
Chisame managed to collect herself, somewhat, and yelled, "You were playing that guitar with four damn hands!"
Misa's expression was blank for a moment, before a wide and excited smile came to her face. "You saw it? You saw SLTS? You saw my Stand?!"
And now Chisame was confused again. "Wait, Stand?"
Misa took the question as an affirmative, and let out an excited cheer as she grabbed Chisame by the shoulders, pulled her up into a fierce hug, and spun her around. "Awesome! It's been ages since I've met with a fellow Stand user!"
The musician abruptly stopped spinning, and now standing next to Chisame with an arm draped around her shoulder, and in a conspiratorial whisper asked, "So what'd you name it, what can it do, what kind of shenanigans were involved when you got it? Come on girlfriend, spill! I'll show you mine if you show me yours~"
Chisame finally managed to fully collect herself, and roughly shoved Misa away. "Let's get something straight here, Kakizaki!" Chisame shouted, as she pointed at her roommate dramatically. "I don't have any idea what you're talking about! 'Stand'? What the hell is that? Is that what you call the spirit I've been stuck with since forever?"
At this outburst, Misa visibly deflated. "You mean, you've never come into contact with Stand phenomenon beyond yourself? Man, what a bummer."
Chisame twitched, unable to keep from thinking that Misa didn't seem like the kind of girl who'd use the word 'phenomenon'.
The pink-haired guitarist crossed her legs and sat down, before seemingly deciding on something by herself. "Well then. Being your senpai as a Stand user, I should tell you the what's-what of everything. Grab a drink-" here, a soda appeared in her hand, evidently having been fetched by Misa's own Stand - "take a seat, and I'll get to explaining stuff."
A vein popped in Chisame's forehead, before she willed herself to calm down. If there were indeed other people besides herself with this 'Stand' power, then she needed to learn whatever she could. It'd be just my luck, she thought, if using it more than once in a blue moon turns me evil or inside-out or something.
