No Good Deed...

Akira still was twitching and kicking, her lungs too tired to allow her laughing anymore. She had basically quit trying to gain control over the water arms, since it hadn't worked at all and she had no idea how to do it anyway. And sure, she could have tried to freeze them, but seeing they were all over her body and tickling her everywhere (well, almost. They seemed to have some standards, somehow, for which she was infinitely thankful to Heavens), freezing them all while they still were in direct contact with her didn't seem such a wise idea.
So she frantically attempted to get them off herself, which was easier said than done. They were very strong and fast, and as expected, most of her kicks only passed through them with no effect, although a few seemed to actually stagger them back for some reason. All the while, she tried to tug her arms free, being tightly tied together by a swirling stream of the same 'hard water', but again, to no avail.
Minako had warned her against monsters of this kind, but since Minako seemed to talk so much about so many things that just couldn't exist even in that line of community work, Akira had assumed it was just her out of control Haruna-esque trolling libido teasing her again. Wait, with tentacles tickling her all over and two Harunas in the battlefield, it was a wonder they hadn't—
"Oh, that looks fun!"
Well. Like Yuuna would say, crap.
Both Harunas stood close with twin drawing sets ready, with an annoyed Suzushiro Haruka-sempai standing between them. Further away, Psycho Purple-san, Valkyrie Black-san and Batman-sama were fighting more demons back.
Akira tried to talk, but only coughing came out, mixed with weak chortling.
The Harunas shared a look.
"You, or me?" one of them asked the other.
"What kind of answer is that? Everyone knows twice the Paru is twice the fun!" the other one replied.
"Just wanted to be polite and ask first, " Haruna shrugged. "Both at once on her, then?"
"Both at once!" Haruna nodded. For some reason, Akira felt like objecting...
Then they began drawing at the same time, biting their respective lips, and Akira yelped and kicked around madly...
Only to breath easier a moment later, when she felt the hands retreating from her, a special kind of warmth covering her instead. She opened her eyes to yelp once more, when she saw tiny red lightsabers floating all around her, having just masterfully cut the water binds from her, making them fall to the grass in small smoking puddles.
Sailor Mercury backpedalled on her butt. "Y-You could have hurt me! I mean, thank you!"
"Actually, since you started kicking around like a madwoman, one of the sabers gave you a cut, " the Haruna Akira guessed had to be theirs since she looked the youngest pointed at one of her knees, decorated with a thin line of crimson. Akira took a gloved hand to the wound and hissed in suddenly realized pain. Despite that, the wound wasn't too deep, and she could stand back up with no problems. "Sorry about that, I think it was one of Deathnote-sama's!" Haruna laughed it off.
"Mine?-!" the other Haruna said. "I'm a woman of extreme precision! It had to be one of yours!"
"No, it wasn't! And I think you chopped part of her hair, too!"
An alarmed Akira took her hand to her beloved long black mane, felt it all over, and sighed in relief. The Harunas both laughed at her. "Gotcha!" they cried.
Akira wasn't amused at all. "Where did the girl go?"
"Forget fighting her, " Deathnote told her, growing serious again. "We are nowhere in the same ballpark as her. You're lucky you aren't a statue of ice right now!"
"Pluto-san!" Akira looked at her frozen partner. "Is she—?-!"
"Relax, I'm sure she'll be healed back before the night's over, " Deathnote patted her shoulder. "But first, we gotta catch up to Negi-kun. I have a feeling he'll need us. Hey guys, haven't you finished back there yet?"
Batman punched a last demon in the face, sending him flying towards a clean slice from Valkyrie Black. "The area's clear now."
Haruna raised an eyebrow. "That fabled no-kill code doesn't cover demons, does it?"
"No."
"Fair enough, " Deathnote shrugged while she drew another huge flying devil ray that came immediately into life. "Alright, all onboard of the Love Cruise! Except you two lovebirds, " she chuckled at her Nodoka and Yue. "I know how much you love riding Blackie's broom, Purple..."
"You'll regret this, " Valkyrie Black warned dryly, even as Nodoka climbed onto the broom right behind her.
"Oh, being tightly flying across the sky with a mini skirted magical warrior, a musclebound man in black tights and a perfect copy of perfect me!" Haruna cooed, climbing on the devil ray between a resignated Akira and an annoyed Batman. "I've had this dream since I was—"
Now that made Akira talk. "Finish that sentence and I'll kick you down in mid-flight, " she said, polite but firmly.
"Ah, like Batman-sama would allow you—"
"— and I'll tie your together before so you can't draw yourself a save before she tosses you off, " the Dark Knight promised.
Haruna rolled her eyes. "Everyone knows you'd never—"
Batman stared at her.
Haruna shrank down. "I'll be quiet."
As they went up next to the devil ray, Yue told Nodoka, "We must learn how to do that."
"Hmmmmm, before we go..." Nodoka pondered, "Has anyone seen Sakurako-san? W-We can't leave without her...!"
They all froze where they were.
Haruna scratched her head. "Ahhh, I knew we were forgetting something...!"
"Is that much of an issue if we leave her behind?" Deathnote asked. "She's luck incarnate! Not like anything bad will happen to her!"
"We can't run any risks! All hot pieces of cute ass must be kept safe no matter what!" Haruna declared, very seriously.
Now everyone stared at her. Even the other Haruna.
"What?" Haruna grunted. "Did I say something wrong?"
Other-Haruna looked at her fellow librarians. "Am I regularly that bad?"
"Do you wish for the honest answer, or painless answer?" Yue asked back.

Day of Judgement

Mahora:
"It would seem, " the tall blond figure sitting at the back of the dark room commented, with dry amusement in his voice, "it has worked after all."
"Yes, " the man in the holy clothes nodded, his eyes fixed on the shape appearing on the summoning circle. His breathing had not gone up a notch, but his heartbeat had raised in a way he hadn't experienced in far too many years. He felt alive now, facing what was most certainly Death. How deliciously adequate.
The summoned figure was also tall, but far more thin, lanky and bony. As a matter of fact, it was sheer decaying skin on bone, with the unbearable stench of rotting flesh all over it. That made the blond male sneer in disgust, but he said nothing. It was wearing a dark blue outfit that looked both militaristic and police, with a helmet covering most of its head save a lipless pointy jaw, flashing two lines of yellow, uneven and sharpened teeth. It was definitely male, and it had... he had... several golden medals and badges all over his chest, all of them splattered with dry blood. They all also bore different names, so they weren't his, obviously. They were trophies.
"Hhhhaahhhh..." he hissed, opening his mouth wide and allowing a nauseating smell blanket over the room in the church's basement. The blond man covered his nose and grunted. "Yeeeessssss. It'ssssss been a long, long time. Oceansssss of time, ssssso much of it lossssssst, ssssssso much to do, to make up fffffor it. Which one of you, may I asssssssk, is my Master?"
"I am, " the priest spoke, with a slight bowing. "Pleased to meet you..."
"Judge, " the blonde crossed his arms and looked up at the ceiling, clearly bored with the results of the ceremony. "A Judge. These extra classes aren't good for anything; what a waste of time."
"Hhhhnnnghhh..." the newly arrived figure looked at him with burning despise, craning his neck in his direction. "You ssssshouldn't talk, anomaly. What are you doing here? Your time isssss long passsst, I can ffffeel it. You don't belong..."
"Of course I don't belong. To nothing and to one. Rather, everything and everyone belongs to me, " the other Servant smiled, sitting straighter to cross his legs casually. "But that's no matter that should concern you, dead mongrel. You would be better getting acquainted with your Master than with me."
The Judge looked back at the man who had brought him. "What isssss the meaning of thisssss?"
"Death, " he simply said.
The mouth with no lips curved itself up in an evil smile. "Oh, ssssssilly me. That'sssss the meaning of everything, after all. Life issssss crime, the ssssentencccce issssss death. And that sssssentence alwayssss comessss for everyone no matter what. We will jusssst have to hassssten the ssssslow proccceduressss of blinded jusssstice, won't we?"
The priest nodded formally, and the skeletical figure broke into hysterical laughter.
Gilgamesh shook his head to himself, fairly amused now.
Well, this at least had the potential for some buffoonery to entertain a king.

The Jungle Kook
- Quote:

"Stop right there!" an almost squeaky voice commanded, and Sergei Kravinoff almost sighed inwardly. He didn't need or desire this kind of puerile distractions.
After being sent there by the increasingly fastidious and domineering Amagasaki woman, Kraven the Hunter had disdained the inanities of the tumultuous battlefield, where no glory could be found amidst the shrieking beasts and rabid children. Smelling the prospect of more private, more intense fights inside, and also detecting the faint scent of a familiar young woman coming from within the main manor, he ignored everything else and marched towards a huge hole in a wall, rifle ready. Then he heard the annoyingly cute voice daring to order him around.
He looked over a broad shoulder, staring coldly at the young woman in the skimpy cheerleading outfit. "My dear child, you are advised to leave lest you provoke the anger of someone less patient than Kraven. This will never be place for the likes of you."
Sakurako, who had been expecting an attack, a growl and a roar, or at least a loud "Screw you!" from the hairy man wearing animal pelts, blinked.
"I, ah, can't simply leave, " she said. "I'm protecting the stronghold!"
"You can't even protect your own life here, " he told her. She flinched and readied her pom-poms when she saw him reaching for something, but then she simply saw him tossing a huge hunting knife at her feet. "Grab this and try to scurry out of here alive. I couldn't give you anything else without having you hurting yourself with it."
Now that annoyed Sakurako, and she pouted, stomping a foot down. "Don't treat me as a pushover! I'm a powerful Ministra! And I was trained by an Ariadne Valkyrie! And I can't let you enter the— GAH! LISTEN TO ME!"
He already was making his way into the house. "Such an annoying cub..."
Shiina chased stubbornly after him. "Hey, hey, hey! Don't ignore me! Why are you doing this? You don't seem that bad a guy, compared with—"
The man sneered. "You couldn't possibly understand. My life is an eternal search for the perfect hunt, for confirmation of my honor. I'll look for the biggest game anywhere, but there is little here to challenge me. The only one who could satisfy my needs is the one I faced earlier today. I felt her scent coming from this place..."
Sakurako stopped with round eyes. "The one you—" She remembered Hakase's story from earlier. "You mean Satomi-chan?-!"
"I ignore her name, " the man said indifferently. "But that isn't important. She hit even harder than the Spider, and her arms of metal were formidable weapons..."
Sakurako gritted her teeth and took aim with the pom-poms. "You won't touch Satomi-chan!"
"Oh, so that's her name, " Kraven pondered, stopping only a moment. "All the better. You cannot face a worthy adversary without knowing their name. It even sounds... right."
"Powers of luck, bring this mean man down!" Sakurako chanted, posing in a little routine. "3-A, 3-A kicks butt even when we're out of town!"
He shook his head and laughed. "HAH! You are truly insane! What manner of— BWAHHH?-!-!" he screamed, as the section of the ceiling over him, damaged by all the rumbling the fight against Evangeline had shaken through the whole house, collapsed on him. Sakurako covered her mouth with a hand and gasped, seeing how he had just been completely buried by the rubble, including several pieces of furniture from the story above.
"Oh, I hope I didn't overdo it...!"
"GRRRRRARRRR!" Kraven, drooling like a rabid beast, burst up from the debris, mouth bleeding, eyes injected. Well, that apparently had changed his mind... "SORCERY!" he said, leaping out and flashing his knife out, charging for Sakurako, who had to roll out of the way, depending on luck to counter his superior speed and agility. He missed the attack mostly because his sudden rage had all but blinded him. "How could I miss it? You're just like Calypso!"
"Who?" she asked with a gulp.
A shot was heard from the dark outside, but Kraven dodged it with animalistic elasticity, whirling a net around and tossing it in that direction, not needing to see the attacker to land a bullseye on her. Kuga Natsuki cursed aloud as she couldn't step aside in time, and the net tangled her down, making her stumble back. But she still didn't let her handguns go.
Kraven loomed over her, a knife in each hand. "More insolent children! I won't kill you, but you still need a reminder of your foolishness. Maybe having the mark of—"
Sakurako pointed the pom-poms again. "Crooked, nasty, mean and vile! Go away, we don't want your bile!"
He shot her an angry back glare. "Little witch! What manner of spellcraft are you— AAHHHHHH!" Now it was the floor under his feet that collapsed, and he fell deep into the basement, trying to hold on the net and pull Natsuki down with himself. Kuga let out an uncharacteristic "Eeep!", but right when she was about to be dragged down, Sakurako grabbed her hand and somehow, with a strong pull, freed her from the net, getting her back up with herself. There was another feral scream as Kraven hit the bottom, among heavy crashing sounds.
"A-Are you—" Sakurako began.
"Yeah, " Natsuki looked down, seeing the hunter already getting back up and reaching for his rifle. "How lucky are you, again?"
Sakurako blinked. "A lot. Why?"
Natsuki hugged her against herself and trained a gun at the hissing, broken gas tube at Kraven's feet. "Enough to beat the laws of logic, right?"
"Huh..."
It didn't matter, since, right as Kraven began aiming up at them, Natsuki shot down between his feet. There was a little metallic clang, and then both girls were sent flying off their feet and a couple meters back, as the house trembled again.
For a moment, a dazed Sakurako could only cough and gasp, before crawling on all fours next to a battered but alive Natsuki, who was bleeding through the mouth and nose, but wiping the red off and working back to her feet. "Are you okay? You could have killed us, Kuga-sempai!"
"Not more than the bullets in the head we would've gotten, " Natsuki grumbled. "Good thing that crazy probability shield of yours protected me too..."
Shiina scowled. "Probability what?"
Natsuki waved a hand. "Never mind." That was how Chao called it, but this wasn't the place or time to reveal that.
Sakurako tried to look down at what remained of the basement. "Y-You killed that man, didn't you? Even if he was the enemy, he—!" And she screamed, "AHHH!" as he climbed up, a bloody mess but pretty much alive, spitting and growling, trying to literally claw for them before falling flat on his face, unconscious.
"Damn metahumans, " Natsuki mumbled.
Sakurako looked sternly at her. "You didn't know he could survive that, did you?"
"No. Your point?" And she began walking back out, limping only a little. "C'mon. The others must be wondering about us."
They came back out to see the Harunas, Haruka and Batman floating up on a giant devil ray, with Valkyrie Black and Psycho Purple hovering near on a broom.
"Ah, we came looking for you two!" Deathnote exhaled a sigh. "Good to see you're fine! Although you surely have seen better days, Biker-chan...!"
"Give me a break. I don't have freaky powers like you guys, " Natsuki said as the devil ray came down low enough for her and Shiina to jump on. "Where to now?"
"The lake!" Haruka said. "Negi-sensei must be there, in dire need for us!"
Sakurako looked back at the house. "B-B-But Satomi-chan's still in there...!"
"Take it easy! She's with two Chaos and Chachamaru, and if those three can't keep her safe, no one can, " Paru-sama began spurring the animal golem up. "We're more needed elsewhere. You'll have to take difficult decisions like this all the time, so get used to it!"
Sakurako sighed even deeper, while the local Haruna patted her shoulder in sincere commiseration. "Okay... By the way, Kuga-sempai..."
"Yeah, what?"
"Thank you for saving me back there...!"
Several long moments of silence ensued as they flew.
"Whatever. Thank you, too, " Kuga ended up grunting.
Sakurako had to smile.
Down, down below, Deadpool blinked, finishing healing back and dusting himself off. "Hey! Hey, we aren't finished here yet! I'm an important guest star! I can't be discarded so quickly...!"
He followed the figures who flew away in the distance and dropped his head down. Figuratively. "I suppose none of you can call me a taxi? Kyle? Bird Guy? Anyone else...?"
He looked all around the charred battlefield. As expected, all the demons in that sector had been wiped out.
"I really need a Deadpoolmobile, " he said, beginning to walk slowly for Lake Biwa.

Tales of Mundus Magicus: Single Pirate Females
- Quote:
-
"We're looking for this man!" the busty young woman with long dark red hair showed them a crude drawing of what seemed to be a huge musclebound man with long hair. The lines drawn all over his body were apparently an indication he had dark skin.
The tiny, big headed, red-eyed blond girl with short blond hair plus cat ears and a tail, wearing a white sweater and purple skirt, looked at the drawing over the bar, hummed, and shook her head. "Nope! Never seen him in my life! Who's he supposed to be-nya?"
"Rakan! Jack Rakan!" the redhead raised her voice so she could be heard over the scandal of the pirates ravaging the small crossroads town. "Several days ago, he destroyed our whaleship, the Nirvana, so we're, ahh, having to gather resources to fix it back. So, sorry about your village, but..."
"Dita, for the last time, you don't have to apologize!" the tall and even bustier blonde being served by another, dumb looking, randomly nodding Neco said after gulping another jarof beer, long and succulent legs crossed. "We're pirates! We're supposed to pillage! Are you guys sure you haven't ever seen that man?"
The male Neco who sat nearby lazily smoking a cigarette with half closed eyes shook his head full of dark hair. "No, but I ever see him, I'll make sure of congratulating him..." he mused, looking through the window.
"Hey, it's his fault we're robbing this town, remember?" the shapely blonde insisted.
"As you said yourself, you're pirates. Wouldn't you be robbing us even if you didn't have a ship to repair?"
"He got you there, Jura, " the green haired woman sitting across the blonde nodded.
Jura Basil Eden groaned and stood up. "On which side are you, Barnette? Come on, Ditta! We're done here! This place's boring, and the beer tastes like cat piss..."
"Actually..." the blond Neco who owned the business began, but then smiled and shook her head. "Never mind! Have a nice day, and come back whenever you want!"
Jura was too drunk to do anything but grunt as she staggered for the front door. A grimacing Barnette and disappointed, down cast looking Dita followed her out.
Many hours after, while the dust of the raid settled down and the pirates disappeared in the horizon, Neco Arc sighed. "Pirates, huh?Not as glamorous as the stories paint them-nya!"
Neco Arc Chaos blew another ring of cigarette smoke. "At least they're gone now..."
The front door was kicked open, and in strode a tall and very thin black haired man with a red vest and straw hat, followed by a green haired swordsman, smoking blond guy, long nosed funny looking man, midget reindeer, and two curvy women. "YO! Do you have meat here? I'M STARVING!"
Neco Arc hummed, grabbed a jar, and headed for the bathroom. "I'm going for more beer for the patrons-nya!"

War Games

As they flew towards the lake, the strange posse passed over the mismatched vehicles Haruna and Haruka had seen earlier in the distance, making their own way for the expected site of the final confrontation.
Natsuki looked down and her face twitched once. "The tank I get it, God help me, but... Are they riding a bookshelf?"
"Well, that's Morisato-san down there, isn't he?" Haruka looked over her shoulder, taking a good peek down. "You know men love to ride..."
Everyone gave her a look.
Haruka blinked in genuine confusion. "What have I just said to earn those glares?"
"Oh, it's nothing!" Haruna sighed exaggeratedly.
Batman was the only one to make the sane question to spring to mind then, which was a a bit troubling on itself considering he was a grown man in a bat suit. "Who is that girl riding with them?"
"Most likely just an employee of the compound they rescued, " Yue theorized.
"She looks too young for that, " Nodoka told her.
"You're right, " Yue allowed. "Maybe a daughter of some employee, then..."
"Maybe they've caught an ally of the enemies!" Haruna said excitedly.
"She's with Morisato-san and Makie-chan, " Sakurako noted. "Do you really think those two could have caught a prisoner?"
"... Point, " Valkyrie Black conceded.
"We barely know Morisato-san..." Psycho Purple exhaled a token sigh. "Are you sure we can judge him like this...?"
"Well, if she isn't a prisoner or a rescued girl, then what is she?" an annoyed Haruna asked Sakurako.
The cheerleader put a finger on her own mouth, thought, then said the first thing in her mind. "A goddess?"
A completely baffled silence ensued from all parties.
Yue facepalmed slowly. "This... This is all too weird, even for me..."
Batman breathed out and finally commanded, "Lower."
Keiichi, with a nearly traumatized blank stare fixed on the path ahead, barely shivered as the devil ray and the broom came lower. "La la la la, all a dream, all a dream..." he sang to himself. It was helping him to cope.
"Ohhhhhh, heyyyyy, giiiirls!" Makie waved up happily. "Cool ride, huh? You got some very cool ones, too!"
"Makie-chan!" Haruna called down. "Where are Nodoka and the others?"
"Oh, Nodoka-chan is inside the tank with Roberta-san and Konoeko-san!" the lithe gymnast replied. "We lost track of Iinchou and Sora-san after meeting a clown and a very cranky boy, but I'm sure they're okay somewhere!"
"Clown!" Haruna, Haruka, Paru-sama, Black and Purple all flinched. The Batman only gritted his teeth. Natsuki scowled. Sakurako let out a little gasp.
"Oh, and this is Skuld-chan!" Makie gave a few strong pats on the back of the black haired girl, who only sighed and turned her head aside, as if ashamed of herself. "She's my and Morisato-san's Pactio Magistra! I said it right, didn't I?"
Again, a shocked silence.
"So... you... and..." Haruna finally said.
Makie smiled and made a goofy giggle. Skuld and Keiichi slumped down in embarrassment.
"Is she a goodess?" Sakurako asked out of the blue.
Natsuki frowned. "Oh, for the love of—!"
Then the tank made a sudden stop, and the others followed. Even the hardened Kuga took a sharp, deep breath of horror. Makie's cheer plummeted down in an instant, replaced by a chilling panic. Sakurako pressed a hand against her mouth. Batman did nothing but narrowing his eyes. Keiichi actually looked sick, the madness mantra dying in his mouth.
The whole path ahead was covered by human figures trapped inside of thick blocks of ice, like demented frozen sculptures in a garden of horrors.
"Yep, Sexy-chan was here, alright, " Deathnote sighed.
Haruna shot her an aghast look. "Listen, joking in a fight is okay and all that, but not when something like this happens! This people is all... dead, for God's sake!"
"They aren't dead. They shouldn't be, at least, " Valkyrie Black commented grimly. "If this Sextum is anything like the Fate we knew back at home, this can be reversed, although only Konoka could be able to do it..."
"If it's at all like Mr. Freeze's cryogenic blasts, the victims will die if they aren't treated within the hour, " Batman said.
"It isn't, " Skuld huffed. "This is magic, not science, " she bitterly said. "Your otherwordly friend's right, we need your friend Konoka for this."
"How do you—" Nodoka began, pulling the Diarium Ejus out, activating the Comptina Demonia to ask her full real name, only to gasp when she saw the book's pages suddenly, without any warning, beginning to display pages and pages of rapid absurd runic drawings, instead of any sort of legible text. It had simply happened by itself, and nothing like it had ever happened to her before. "What—"
Skuld smiled and tapped a finger on her head. "My physical body may be human, but my mind's still that of a Yggdrasil resident, Miyazaki Nodoka. You're trying to read something that functions in ten dimensions at once. You might as well try teaching a snail to program a computer!"
"Ah, so you are a goddess, " a relatively unfazed Sakurako gave a nod. "Called it."
Konoeko-san's head poked out of the tank. "Fascinating as I find the bizarre turns of your conversation to be, do I need to remind you once more we need to locate our daughter quickly?"
"And Ojou-sama, " Roberta's hostile grunt came from inside the armored vehicle.
"Well, yes, and her as well..."

Actually, no, they don't need Konoka for that one. Konoka is needed for Wilhelm's petrification because THAT is pretty much completely impossible to dispell unless you've got ludicrous amounts of skill and power, which only Konoka could have at once.
Remember, the girls WERE petrified by Fate and they were all fine afterward, despite Konoka still being completely incapable of any sort of magic at that point.

Okay, she was getting the handle of it now, she thought. All she had to do was ramming the kart-motorcycle-hoverplane thing she was riding into demons, and that was enough to kill them without hurting her. Ah ha ha, she had to be going crazy...
A miserable looking Hasegawa Sora drove directly into another demon, smashing her, yes, her, into pieces that thankfully disappeared just as soon. Sora was already feeling nauseous enough. She had never even hurt a mouse before that night.
But thinking of Chisame, remembering she did it all for her sake, seeing her struggling to do her own best, gave her the strenght for it.
The team, for a lack of a better term, was all but done with the attackers in the area by now. Between Negi's spellcraft, Ayaka's frantic whip, Chisame's zaps, Misa's needles, Yuuna's bullets and yes, even Sora's murderous (GAH!) driving and Matoi's rocks, the demons, boastful and confident at first, had dwindled down in numbers quickly, to the point a few of them were running away.
"It's working!" a jubilant Ayaka cried. "Negi-sensei, under your brilliant leadership, we've achieved victory!"
"Leadership?-!" Chisame shouted. "We're all just tossing attacks all around with little strategy! We've been only spamming them!"
"As long as it works, I don't complain!" Yuuna panted raggedly between shots, although her face was sporting a wide weird smile now. She could feel her nipples hardening under her shirt. "Guys, I think it's time to move on!"
Negi nodded, finishing a final demon with a whack of his father's staff. Now only leftovers were still scurrying across the battlefield, he wanted to save his magic for the rescue. "Akashi-san is right! Look!" and he pointed towards the distant lake.
They all could see a bright light coming from the lake, bathing the lands around it eerily. Ayaka had to gulp. "Wha— What's that?"
"Damn, " Calculator cursed. "It must be about to enter critical phase. And that stupid brat's still busy with Eva. We'll have to do it ourselves! We have to get there on the double!"
"We?" Misa sneered. "Right, so you'll continue being as useful as you've been until now, isn't that so?"
Calculator frowned, fidgeting with her Artifact. It isn't my fault the camera Batman-sama and me sent isn't sending me anything! The only thing I can get is a powerful pulse of magic blocking my signal!"
Sora took the deepest breath of her life and forced herself to remember she was an adult surrounded by children put, in theory, under her care. Her hands gripped the driving wheel tighter. "Okay. It's obvious this won't stop until we get there, so let's go there, " she surrendered to her fate. "Kakizaki-san, Chisame-chan, jump on the left sidecar. Akashi-san, Yukihiro-san, on the right one. Negi-sensei, hop behind me. Kasuga-san, if you're fast enough to keep up with this... thing..."
"Hey, what about us?-!" Matoi cried, pointing at herself and Calculator. "Are you going to leave us behind?-!"
"Yes, " Negi took over, and his tone for that moment was so stern even Matoi flinched. "This area has been cleared, but the place we're going might be twice as dangerous as what we've faced so far. Stay here and hide in the woods while Calculator-san calls the rest of Ala Alba!"
Matoi gave an angry stomp on the dirt. "Like hell! I'm not leaving Chisame-sama's side, not even to stay with another Chisame-sama!"
"Do it, damn you!" Chisame told her. "This is no time for your manias!"
"I won't let you go without me no matter wha—!"
"STAY BEHIND HERE! DEEP LOVE ORDER!" Chisame roared.
Matoi made like a statue. An open mouthed statue with eyes like saucers. "You command that... in the name of our love?"
"Yes, yes, whatever!" Chisame shook her hands in complete frustration. Calculator felt torn between pity, disgust and bitter laughter.
The stalker made a stunned silence that lasted only a couple of seconds, but felt like an eternity. Then, sniffing loudly, she hugged a cringing Calculator and nodded for Chisame. "A good woman always follows her loving husband's orders! I trust you, Chisame-sama! I know you'll return to my side safe and sound!"
"I'M NOT YOUR HUSBAND, GODDAMMIT! I'M NOT EVEN A MAN!" Chisame shrieked as an annoyed Misa pulled her into the sidecar with herself, both of them so tightly squeezed in Misa had to shift around to sit on the lap of the slightly taller Hasegawa. Matoi's face betrated deep jealousy, but Misa's sour expression, not to mention Chisame's, eased her somewhat. On the other sidecar, Ayaka and Yuuna had to reach a similar unspoken compromise, the Akashi girl settling on the Class Rep's lap while fingering her guns.
"Okay, let's show those punks one thing or two..."
Ayaka rasped. "Ah... Are you sure you're feeling okay, Akashi-san?"
"Okay? I'm freaking fabulous! I have guns and will travel! Ahh ha ha ha! To hell with worries, I don't care anymore! I just want to live wild!"
Ayaka's face betrayed even more uneasiness. "... We'll talk about this after Konoka-san is rescued."
"Sora, are you sure you can drive this thing all the way to the lake without killing us...?" asked a concerned Chisame.
Another brief, but unbearably long, long silence. Then a reluctant shrug of Sora's shoulders. "Like Akashi-san just said, we're beyond worrying now..."
"Oh no, they got you too!"
Her older sister exhaled a long, low wheezing sigh. It was almost Zen-calming. Almost. "Sensei. Hug my waist tightly."
"Ah, um, okay, sorry..." he said, blushing as he obeyed. Chisame, Misa, Misora and Ayaka scowled.
"Alright. Here we go, " and she slammed a foot down, the vehicle accelerating up like lightning in a moment, zooming ahead so fast the grass under it almost burned. There were several terrified screams.
Misora gulped, made a shaky sign of the cross on herself, and ran after them. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, I don't wanna die alone...!"
A tearful Matoi waved a tissue at them while squeezing Calculator's hand possessively. "There goes the only woman I'll ever be able to love...!"
Calculator groaned, fished her Pactio card out with her other hand, and pressed it against her forehead. "Miyazaki! Ayase! Hell, I'll even take you, Haruna! SAVE ME!"

The Final Years
- Quote:
-
Mahora Academy, Eight Years Ago:
"I know I have erred and sinned beyond repair, " the man with the dead eyes said, a cigarette exhaling its last wisps of weak smoke between his fingers. "I don't care if you see fit to kick me out of your premises forever. All I'm asking is, in the name of what I did for you, for a place for Shirou to stay at."
The old man sitting behind the desk hummed, looking out the window at the red-haired child playing outside.
"He's a strong one, isn't he? After losing everything, he doesn't seem particularly traumatized."
"Oh, those scars often run deep, " the younger man said, since he knew a lot on the subject. "But yes, Shirou's been taking it all better than I feared at first. But there's no place for us anywhere. I have no safe places anymore, not even at Kyoto, and I won't last long anyway. Eishun told me you could arrange for something for the boy, but the rest of the Kansai Society doesn't want me around, or anyone related with me for that matter." There was something that almost was a dull bitter chuckle. "No one can blame, of course. Magic users tend to dislike magus killers..."
Konoe Konoemon sighed briefly. "I see. And, of course, they already have enough children there, with Konoka-chan, Setsuna-chan and Haruhi-sama's daughter. Emiya-kun, I won't lie to you. After Fuyuki City, there's no guarantee I'll be able to hide or protect you for long, but I owe you so much, I can't and don't desire to reject your pleas. Not only there is a place for your son at Mahora, but for you as well. Just remain under the radar and live your final years peacefully, and I'll arrange a cover for you."
The man's head hung sadly. "Thank you."
"Tohsaka's daughters are here as well, you know. Kariya-kun asked me to keep them after Tokiomi died and poor Aoi-chan lost her mind, " Konoemon said quietly. "Maybe we'll be able to build a better future for all of them from the ashes of our failures."
"Why didn't Kariya keep them himself?" Kiritsugu asked. "I thought..."
"Well, you know. He hasn't fully recovered yet, and I doubt he ever will. He has a son of his own to look after, and even though Zouken is dead, the rest of the clan will never tolerate two daughters of the Tohsakas after all that transpired."
"Of course."
"Well. Now that's settled... for now, let's take you to a temporary staying place until we can find you something better, " and he stood up, arms folded behind his back, to walk from behind the desk. "You must be tired after all of this."
"Thank you so very much..."
"I just want to know something."
"Anything."
"Won't you try to regain Ilya-chan?"
And he smiled sadly. "I've lost that right. I can't go against the Einzberns, not anymore, and even if I succeeded, I'd only have to leave her right afterwards. I can't make up for my mistakes with anyone but Shirou-kun now."
"Emiya-kun, believe me, the outcome could have been far, far worse..."
"I don't see how."
"No. Thankfully, you don't."
They walked out together, in silence, after that.
The Haruhi who was Tsukuyomi's mother wasn't related in any way to Suzumiya Haruhi.

Freeze my Heart and Hope to Die
- Quote:
-
They sat there in silence then, between the bushes, waiting.
"They're taking their time, that's for sure, " Matoi finally mused, with an eerie quietness.
"Well, it's not like they're strolling through the park, " an exhasperated Calculator mumbled. "There are still demons everywhere, and the worst part is they're hardly the biggest threat. Give them time..."
Matoi hugged her own legs and rested her chin on her knees. "This is stupid. I feel so useless..."
"Oh, for the love of God! Being useless in a fight is good! It means you're a normal person!"
"But I don't want to be a normal person. I want to be more than that, for Chisame-sama's sake."
"Trust me, the more normal you are, the better she'll like you."
The stalker shook her head. "No. She'll say that, yes, but I know better. Chisame-sama wants to be special, no matter how much she claims otherwise, and she likes special people, too. That's why she likes Negi-sensei and Forehead..." she sighed.
Calculator frowned. It felt too much like Tsunetsuki was talking about her for her comfort. "I won't believe that. I should know better than anyone!"
Matoi's head tilted aside. "I think, Other Chisame-sama, " she said very seriously, "your perspective is too close to be objective."
Now that made Calculator snarl. "Get real!"
Matoi looked up at the starry sky. "Aren't we all defined by our quirks? I know I love Chisame-sama for hers, and—" Her breath went strangled then. "Dear God!"
Calculator, with nerves sharpened by more frequent than she'd have liked exposition to danger, looked up as well, taking a breath in and covering Matoi's open mouth with a hand, pulling her back with herself, further into the bushes.
Sextum stood high above them, with detached eyes fixed into the distant lake. She didn't seem to have noticed them, but then again, maybe she knew they were there, but considered them of absolutely no importance.
"This wasn't in the plan, " she was whispering, too low for them to hear, and flew away, heading up in an arc that didn't seem to be focused on chasing Negi as much as reaching the lake before he did.
That still wasn't enough to put Matoi in any peace of mind, naturally. She stood up despite an attempt from Hasegawa to hold her down; the Sempai was surprisingly strong, after all.
"She's going to get Chisame-sama! I've got to help her!"
"Get back down, you idiot! You don't know what's that girl able of! There's nothing you can do to stop her!"
Matoi was completely ignoring her now, beginning to run out of the grove following Negi's path. "Just wait for me, Chisame-sama! Your Matoi-chan will keep you safe!"
Calculator actually risked to take a brief sprint after her. "Hey! Come back here, moron!" she hissed. "Being insane is no excuse for being stupid!"
But Matoi was too fast for her to reach, which surprised her considering the girl was just a human with no Pactio or magic abilities whatsoever. Before she really realized she was outclassed there, the stalker had already gone out of sight into the night, leaving her open mouthed and hopelessly behind. Wow. Not even the fact she sounded and looked just like her crush had been enough to convince her...
Hasegawa heard a few howls and barks of demon dogs in the darkness and shuddered despite herself, going back into hiding and sending a new signal for Mint and Chitose. Finally, she got a message receipt, stating they were well on their way to pick her up.
"How long will you take?" Calculator asked.
"Ten..." Chitose's flat voice said, making her jump out of her skin, "... seconds, " she finished, standing over the bush Chisame had been hiding into, with Mint at one side and Angel GA Rd at the other.
Chisame hissed again. "Dammit, don't sneak on me like that! Much less in a situation like this! Want to kill me?-!"
"We apologize. It's just we move quickly, " Mint monotoned, despite which Chisame had the feeling she was being, somehow, the butt of a joke. Again.
Sakurazaki, of course, wasn't in a joking mood all the same. "Where are they now?"
"Where do you think?" Calculator sighed. "They ran straight into the wolf's mouth, of course. And worst of it all, I just saw Sextum heading that way too."
"Without Asuna-san or us there..." Sakurazaki made a slight gulp. "There's no alternative, " and she pulled her shirt open, huge white wings unfolding in the breeze. "Try to at least get the local Asuna-san and my counterpart to join us there shortly."
Calculator nodded. "Sakurazaki, ah, well..."
"I'll be careful, " she promised, taking flight up like a majestic avenging angel.
"Th-That isn't what I meant!" the visiting Chisame gasped. "I just wanted to—!"
"We haven't heard of Negi/Erebus/Nelly-san, but we're sure he's alive and well, Master, " Chitose spoke.
And there was a blush. "I didn't mean that either!"
"Then, may we ask what it was?" Mint asked.
Hasegawa opened her mouth, splurted a weak angry gasp, and then tightened her lips back, turning around and sitting back down. "Nothing."
"But Master, you aren't a person who starts talking only to say nothing..."
"Do you want to be memory wiped and reprogrammed?"
"Even considering the fact I have no wishes, desires or wants of my own, not particularly, Master."
Chisame wondered if that was how Evangeline felt with Chachamaru.

Girls Gone Wild
- Quote:
-
Cut and slash, hit and bash, time and time again, with no rest, no pause. Just as soon as they had plowed through a wave of demons, a new batch took the place of their fallen comrades. Even the always tireless Asuna was running out of breath now, and if it had been anyone in the class but Konoka waiting at the lake, she'd probably just have called it a strategic retreat.
Naturally, she would have kept advancing for Ayaka as well, but she was happy thinking the opposite, and who are we to shatter that illusion through our narrative?
Her confidence was shattered enough as it was when she was flung through the air by another towering horned demon wearing a striped loincloth, and she fell on her back on the grass. "Ahhhh!"
"Ho, ho, ho!" the demon loomed over her. "Not bad for a little girl! It seems you humans have become a tad stronger since the Heian Age..."
Asuna scratched her head while staggering back to her feet. "Which age was that? I always was awful with history..."
"From your 794 to 1185, " the demon grunted while slamming a fist her way, the paper fan barely blocking it, and he used that feign to grab Asuna's left wrist with his other hand, lifting her up with ease. "Stronger, yes, but not brighter at all!"
Asuna yelled and tried to kick at him, but he kept her out of reach using his much longer arm lenght. "Lemme go, creep! I'll make you regret this!"
"If you can't hit me with your fan, you're as helpless as any other girl, aren't you?" the huge figure chuckled. "Now, now, what should we do with you..."
"Asuna-san!" Setsuna had finished dealing with the demons in her side, and now ran to her classmate's rescue, dashing past an ice block holding a blond woman in a Sailor Fuku inside. More similarly trapped people in ice could be seen ahead the road, and Setsuna vaguely recognized one of them as the fortune teller in their first day at Kyoto. There was no time to dwell on that, however. Asuna-san was going to...
Then a slim female demon in a Tengu mask and wearing outlandish clothes jumped on Setsuna's path, blocking her run, and twirling several short blades at once. "Shinmeiryuu dog! Cross blades with me! You'll be my passageway to recognition!"
A thin line of sweat ran down Setsuna's forehead. She could feel that opponent was in a different level than the rabble they had just fought. To save Asuna-san in time, she would have to...
And then there was the familiar sound of a bullet zooming by over her head, and the female demon stiffened in place as the projectile lodged itself between her eyes, cracking the mask in two halves that fell neatly. Revealing a flawless pale face that exploded only one moment after that.
The giant holding Asuna up only had a second to react in shock at that, before a sharp metal star almost as big as himself flew out of the darkness and chopped his head right off his shoulders. Asuna cried out as the now limp arm loosened its grip on her, and she fell on her butt in a puddle of muddy water. "Wh-who...?-!" she gasped, looking up.
A youthful, feminine figure belonging to a short figure wrapped by shadows rasped dramatically, before the pink haired girl wearing a fuku similar to that of the first frozen woman stepped out into sight, pointing a finger around in a way that was just as dramatic as her speech.
"Vile creatures of darkness, threatening noble young warriors! Your rampage won't last any longer! I, Sailor Chibimoon, will punish you in the name of the Future Moon!"
Crickets chirped.
They kept chirping.
Asuna's green eye shrank while the blue one grew up. "Say... what...?"
A softly chuckling Mana stepped out as well, standing next to the now pouting Chibimoon. "What an entertaining way to spend a night. Better than ping pong at the lodge, that's for sure. But it'll still cost you a fair penny, Sakurazaki. My deal with the Class Rep didn't include saving your hide..."
"Mana!" Asuna gasped aloud, and she followed with punctuated gulps as two other familiar faces also showed themselves upon that large but still crowded boulder dominating the scene. "Kaede! Ku Fei!"
"Good evening, Asuna-dono!" Nagase waved, flashing a wide dumb smile. "Sorry this lowly one wasn't able to help you earlier today, but you could have called!"
"Wait, you were called by..." Asuna's Baka mind could, after all, make the connection based on what Mana had just said, "... Iinchou?"
Ku Fei whistled and looked all around. "Ooooohhhh! I like the looks of this! I'd never been in a fantasy situation like this-aru! All these creatures look very strong! Even staying alive will be a challenge!"
The fact she was smiling so cheerfully while saying that was truly disturbing.
Regrouping after the shock of seeing the two strongest warriors of their immediate ranks being taken down so easily, the demons in the scene began a quick chatter.
"We need a strategy with these ones..."
"KILL! KILL! KILL! KIIIIIILL!"
"... I can say you won't last much longer, Biritien."
"Hey, look at the dark skinned one. She looks a lot like Lady Arcana. Don't you think she could be the estrang—"
Without missing a beat or even blinking, Mana took an aloof but amazingly quick sniper aim and blew that demon's head before he finished the sentence. The other hell denizens sweatdropped.
"Uh, well, we've gotta reach Lake Biwa soon..." Asuna stood back to stand along Setsuna and her classmates as the newcomers all jumped down from the boulder. "They have Konoka there, I think, and don't worry, you can explain the little pink spore later..."
Chibimoon shot her a bitter stare. "Little? I'm all grown up now! Seriously! I know you're old, but I'm still— Never mind, " she sighed, readying her magical cute pink scepter, which made Chisame's look dignified and austere. "I keep forgetting you aren't there yet."
"Bwah?" Asuna babbled.
"I sad 'Never mind', Einstein, " the Sailor Senshi sighed, then tensed as the demons finally gathered enough courage to advance on them steadily. Ku Fei flashed a grin, fists prepared. Mana smiled calmly and took aim again.
Kaede toyed with a few kunai and said, "Remember the terms of the bet, as a woman of honor, " to Mana before tossing them through a few demons' skulls. "You got the first kill, but now I've got the numbers edge!"
"Not anymore, " Mana stated flatly, as her next shot pierced through the throats of three demons in a row.
"The game's only starting-de gozaimasu!"
"But the result's already decided..."
Asuna blinked and vaguely wondered if Iinchou and her ever looked that bad. Then she was glad to file that away in favor of caving another demon's head in.
Konoka, Negi, we're on our way!

A Stroll Around the Lake
- Quote:
-
Deathstroke the Terminator, from his sniper spot on a tree overlooking the ceremony site's perimeters, saw them coming first. They were approaching too fast, giving him no time no do more than one shot, so he'd have to make it count.
He discarded the small black and white blur that looked like a nun in quick motion, and took aim at the head of the vehicle's driver instead. Making it crash would take care of several of them at once, and whoever was left to fight would be easier pickings. "They're here, " he announced through his headpiece communicator before getting a good view of the driver's head (it was a woman, not that he cared) and shot.
He was used to fight and shoot enemies who moved at fairly high speeds, even if his world never had a Flash or Kid Flash. The shot was a tricky one, but he could do it. It was all a matter of shooting where she'd be the next moment calculating her trajectory, not where she was right now...
What happened then actually startled him for a moment. For some reason, while the bullet went the right way and actually should have impacted the target, instead, it was deflected aside by some sort of force around the vehicle's front. He didn't have the time to ponder the causes, though, as a burst of flames literally dragged a fiery trail across the grass behind herself, running to the encounter of the newcomers. The fire using girl.
"Look out!" the black and white blur shouted, sharply turning to her left as Homura caused a tall wall of flames to appear before them, also forcing Sora to twist the wheel and crash out of the road.
At the ceremony site itself, Tsukuyomi perked up, trying to get a good look. "Oh! Oh! They're here! Is Oneesama with them? Is— Awww, doesn't look that way!"
The local Konoka attempted to crane her neck up to see, only getting a glimpse of Negi coming up from the crash, helping someone, apparently Chisame's sister, up, frantically asking everyone if they were right. "Negi-kun!"
Michael Garret turned back to Chigusa, who was chuckling to herself in quite a disturbed fashion. "Lady Amagasaki! Stop stalling! Finish the ritual now! They arrived!"
"Let them come..." Chigusa let out a low throaty laugh, before closing her eyes and extend her arms open. The blond female kneeling before her shuddered with a disgusted scowl, and Chigusa herself flinched for a moment as if suffering from a hideous pain, while at Konoe Manor, Erebus took advantage of Evangeline's momentary pause to attack her with everything he had. But the renegade leader began chanting through the pain, like a possessed woman, "Thousand Wavering Spirits, Guardians of the Ten Thousand Worlds. Without delay, unto the heart of that deepest of lands, forge a path unto the surface! By the ties of blood to the Emperor himself, Fujiwarano Azumi Konoe Konoka—"
Hissing a for once not so nice word, and after quickly checking his whole team was okay, Negi grabbed his staff and flew in a straight line for Chigusa, zooming past Homura, who blinked and turned around to fire at him, only to be stopped before she could do it by a blast of Chisame's scepter to the back, plus a trio of light needles to her right bare buttock. "AHHH!"
Deathstroke actually hung back to watch, not only because he actually was having serious doubts Amagasaki would honor any sort of agreement now, but because he wanted more info on these strange youngsters and their abilities before moving against them. Who knew, maybe they could be somehow used against the Titans...
The Konokas, the blond female and Chigusa all shuddered as if the power link binding them now was causing them incredible pain, but Amagasaki kept talking stubbornly. "Burn and boil over! Live, O Spirit! Dance, O Spirit! Become as the spirit of a God!"
"Crap, to hell with this!" Yuuna grunted, taking aim over the shoulder of a quickly advancing Negi and at a shoulder of the clearly insane woman she guessed was the enemy leader. She pulled the trigger, and while Mad Hatter noticed it almost in time and tried to dive in to take the bullet for her (not that it would have hurt him at all, since he had no magic to use or power him up), it wasn't enough. Right as Tsukuyomi jumped out to intercept Negi in mid-way, and as Hansel and Gretel sprung from their hiding places sporting sinister smiles, weapons ready, the bullet grazed Chigusa's shoulder, making her shake and yell loudly.
But the spell had just been finished.
The whole lake spat its waters up, while a huge pillar of light came from its depth, reaching up to pierce the nocturnal sky.
The nearest Lex Corp satellite orbiting Earth got a clear shot of the light before the shockwave of power expanding itself in all directions shorted it out.
At Yggdrasil, Peorth cursed in mangled French, and her readings on the sector she had just located Skuld at went insane.
Even Tsukuyomi paused, looking back and exhaling with her sword still imbedded into Negi's blocking staff. Negi couldn't help doing the same for a moment... before kicking her in the gut, sending her tumbling back.
Chisame looked way up, breathless. "Shit, " was all she said.
Then they felt someone softly landing behind them. With wrecked nerves, the girls looked back and felt their skins crawl. Homura, in contrast, only smiled widely, struggling to control her fits of light needle-induced giggling. "Haa-Laa-Lady See-Hee-Sextum!"
The girl with the cold eyes didn't even pay her or Negi's Ministra any attention, choosing to look only at the gigantic column fading away very slowly, with something's silhouette appearing in its midst. "Something is wrong with this, " she decided.
The blond woman stood up and pushed the stunned Chigusa aside before looking at everyone with haunting, crazed eyes. And she sang, delicately.
"Paa-le Moon, Paaa-le Moon. Cleanses the sinners, and makes them a-neew..."

Evangeline's Double Trouble
- Quote:
-
Even now, she chanted, even as the blows and slahes kept coming from every angle, mutilating flesh almost as fast as it regrew, trying to finally put her down to no avail. Evangeline wasn't fighting back now, but all those surrounding her knew that didn't make her, or Amagasaki, any less dangerous. If anything, her words only were foreboding even worse things to come.
"Burn and boil over!"
Eishun's blade met her neck, but it couldn't make a clean slice, getting stuck there, still not being able to cut the flow of the next sentence in the summon. The Chaos and Kuro already had left, and part of Twilight Red wondered if they shouldn't be trying to do the same thing as well. If she understood it well, that was meaning Chigusa was completing her insane ceremony, and once that happened...
"Live, O Spirit! Dance, O Spirit!"
Negi was back to normal now, but the frustration and even anger over the events spiraling out of his control hadn't gone yet. He punched Evangeline's face, closing her mouth with a fist, despite the fact he knew it wouldn't change anything.
Too late. They were too late.
They were failing.
Evangeline bit his knuckles and spat the freshly ripped skin off aside, the final words escaping her bloodied lips, "—the spirit of a God!"
The finality of that yell was such Takahata and Eishun froze for a split moment, and although Eva seemed to flinch in unexplained ache in a shoulder for a moment, despite how it was one of the least damaged parts of her body, she still opened her mouth to laugh madly one moment before, with a mix of her own voice and Chigusa's. "It's done! It's done! I have all three of them...!" Then she shuddered, as if her supposed shoulder wound was troubling her more than it should, but regained a cruel smirk then. "The Demon God, the Princess of the White Moon, and the Apostle of Darkness! I can feel them in my mind and heart! Kneel before us, pawns! For you are nothing but relics of a doomed era! Let everyone to—"
Then she felt a violent tug on her bleeding left foot, which had splinters of broken body sprouting through the ruptured skin in all directions. "Who—?-!" she looked down in indignation, and was paralyzed for a second as she saw a pair of dark and sinister eyes was staring up at her from her own shadow.
The eyes were identical to her own.
The remains of the room were filled with even more chilly air as another Evangeline floated up from the shadow, arms folded before her flat chest, a deranged laughter coming out of her, enough to pump fear into the most hardened of hearts.
"You came... But how..." the other Evangeline hissed lowly.
"Mc Dowell-san!" Negi's face finally lit up with hope again.
"Ahhh ha ha ha ha!" Eva's open mouth closed itself down in a grin full of sharp teeth. "How pathetic! How sad! Truly, this proves you're the lesser of us! Taken over by a fifth rate mage! It won't take me long to do what I should have done from the moment I first saw you!"
Karakuri's head poked out the portal in the shadow as well. "Oh, good evening, everyone. Please forgive our intrusion into your home, Konoe-sama..."
The possessed Evangeline clenched her fists. "You—- You— I don't understand! I'm in control of the one and only Evangeline Mc Dowell! This can't be! Why are you—"
"Crystallizatio Tellustris, " the other Evangeline said with aloof coolness, and ice spikes jumped out of the ground impaling her counterpart through several parts of her body at once. "Who's the uke now, huh, bitch?-!"
Negi and Asuna both blinked. "An uke? What's that?" they chorused.
"Ask your— Ahhh, I'll tell you later, " Evangeline sneered, then flew to the encounter of the other Eva even as she still was dislodging spikes out of herself. "Now sit back and enjoy the show, children! Although I doubt it'll last long!"
Conveniently, an ominous lighting followed by its terrifying thunder ran throught the sky.
Epilogue: Mad Men

Deadpool kept on walking through the half-frozen, half-burnt fields. "Huh. I wonder if it'll rain. And I didn't even bring my umbrella..."
"Yeah, don't you hate when that happens?" Joker asked casually, walking along him, with a frowning Quartum in tow. "Hello there! Deathstroke's ugly little sister, right?"
"Just because I wear Marvel Girl's panties, it doesn't mean I'm a girl! Ask my stranged possibly secretly depraved innocent looking girlfriend! Anyway, More-Ancient-Than-Dirt-Clown, right? God, have I ever mentioned in this fanfic I hate clowns? Because I really do."
"Hey, I'm a classic. Liefeld doodles only given life by 4-chan memes shouldn't talk on their betters!"
"Those are fighting words, buddy! Family is family no matter how shady they are! Let's have an epic battle full of obscure references now!"
"What are you two babbling about?" Quartum muttered. "Can I burn him from the inside?"
"Not now, the chapter's already over. And about darn time, too, " Joker said. "Huh?"
"It's over? Nifty, " Deadpool said. "What if we hit the snack bar while the next one starts?"
"Sorry, I make a point of not being seen eating with Marvel characters, " Joker shook a finger.
""No, really, what in the world are you two discussing?-!" Quartum screamed.

The First Time Negi Sneezed

Nagi just had to chuckle. "... Well, at the very least, this proves he has strong and healthy lungs!"
Calm and collectedly, Arika handed the baby over to Nekane's mother for a moment, balled a fist up, and swung it into the face of the still dumbly chuckling father.
