Southeast Sector; park outside Fallingwater

Kotarou wasn't sure if he'd ever rushed somewhere so fast in his life. There were innocent people where Negi was, the faster he got there, the less time he'd have to accidentally hurt someone.

It was the worst possible scenario; something Negi would never want for himself, would never allow -- but Kotarou beat his imagination brutally down, not allowing himself to think of what would happen if they couldn't control him.

Negi was smart, wickedly so, and that intelligence was more devious than anything his gentle heart would let him be. Negi's strength lay not in his power, but in the ingenious ways he applied that power. He had beaten opponents much stronger than himself with ingenuity, not strength -- but now with the strength to back it...

The combination was deadly. Kotarou could only hope that Negi would rely on the increased strength more, and leave them an opening. Just one.

That was all he needed.

Kotarou's hand thrust into his inner jacket pocket, pulling out his Pactio card. It was finally coming in handy.

"Ēvocem Tē!,

[notamageiswear]

Wherever Negi was, whatever he was doing, he wasn't ready for the sudden rush of magic that hit him, pulling him somewhere, unable to move. And this, more than anything, infuriated him, stirring up his rage more and more.

So, when he was forcibly teleported to another place, appearing behind Kotarou and facing his back... there was only one thought in his mind. Instantly, he was on the attack, leaping at him and covering the short distance in one swift motion. His hair and tail trailed behind him, lips parted in a snarl, fangs bared, claws out and ready to slash.

[breakingurface]

Kotarou was prepared for the rage there. Negi was fast, but Kotarou was faster. Shundo was best for this situation. He all but disappeared into thin air as the demon swiped for him, appearing just out of reach to one side, a few steps away.

Either it would force him to turn up the speed, or reveal what else he was capable of.

[notamageiswear]

Kotarou's evasion took him by surprise, but he didn't show it. Negi turned instantly, launching himself again.

But, there was a latent thought stirring around in the back of Negi's mind. A flash of memory; vaguely, part of him remembered fighting this boy, even though he couldn't recognize who he was. And vaguely, he remembered that lightning had been this boy's downfall.

In mid-leap, Negi's form changed, brilliant white and lavender instead of black and rippling, crackling with electricity. And he'd be right behind Kotarou in an instant, faster than shundo, fist going for the kidneys.

Southwest Sector; near the appartments

[funbarionsen]

You had best believe that as soon as Yoh had seen the feed of Negi in pain and going off, Yoh went off to do whatever he could to help the boy, and went off rather quickly, Spirit of Earth at his side.

True enough, he did not really know him, but he couldn't let people get hurt, or even let Negi himself get hurt so long as he could help in anyway. Either physically holding Negi back, stalling, or even creating a diversion enough so that he could make sure other people got to safety.

It was sort of laughable really, going up against something he had no clue how to beat, how to fight, or anything else. And yet, he found himself doing it, found himself helping because it was the right thing to do.

So the Shaman was running around, trying to find heads or tails of any destruction the boy might cause, to follow it hopefully to the said boy.

"Lets go."

[notamageiswear]

There wasn't much in the way of destruction, really; not that didn't look natural, anyway. Negi wasn't in the mindset of destroying buildings, only anyone that got in his way. So far, those few people that he had encountered had been quick and easy to deal with.

But he could feel something coming, something powerful, something not human... This alone attracted his interest, not the smell of the human with it. He would deal with that if the human tried to get in his way. He leapt down from the top of a building he had stopped on, landing on the pavement in front of the intruders, cracking the asphalt beneath his clawed feet.

[funbarionsen]

Yoh didn't even so much as flinch as Negi landed on the ground, the asphalt splitting beneath his feet. He stood his ground, the Spirit of Earth behind him, Harusame unsheathed and held at the ready.

"Negi-san!" He was here now, in front of the.. Well, once boy turned what looked to be a demon. And said demon was eyeing the Spirit of Earth, not him. It meant that he could use his spirit to distract him easier. He had the spirit over-souled, its movements following with Yoh's, so that the Spirit was ready to fight as well, both waiting for whatever Negi was going to throw at them.

[notamageiswear]

Kill, the demon thought. Kill them all.

In a flash, Negi leapt toward the large spirit, charging up a spell in his palm and firing it off without a single word. It wasn't lightning like the boy normally used, nor was it wind, or darkness. It was a combination of the first two, a swirling, raging thunderstorm concentrated into one shot, aimed right at the spirit.

[NEGI] Southwest; north of the fire station

[kill_joo_ded]

Follow Kotarou, not Negi. Easy instructions. They would have been easier if Kotarou had said where he was going. But when he felt the redhead's much more powerful energy before he managed to catch up, he decided it might be a better idea to work with what he had. He didn't see anyone, and all of the houses nearby looked unoccupied. He wouldn't be destroying any tea houses this time around, so no one could complain. Though even if it ended up destroying the whole damn place, he wouldn't have backed down.

He wasn't going to thank Kotarou for listening. You didn't thank a friend for being a friend. But he would do whatever was humanly possible for him to take Negi down without killing him. He knew what it was like, after all, trying to save your best friend from himself. And he knew what it was like to fail.

[notamageiswear]

Negi was already far from where he'd begun, and in the short time it had taken him to get there, he had already taken out a couple of people. Easy, really; they hadn't put up a fight at all. It was quite possible that they weren't even more than human. But, at this point, Negi didn't care. If they were in his way, they were going to be dealt with.

So, when Killua ran past Negi - who was ducking down in the shadows, blending in by using the darkness that swirled around him - he didn't hesitate. He leapt out at the other boy, claws set in front of him, ready to slash.

[kill_joo_ded]

Killua was no more than human himself. But he knew the difference. The difference between someone who'd gotten the chance to live a normal, boring life and someone who had been born and raised by the infamous Zoldyck Clan. There was no comparison. It was a completely different world.

He instantly caught the tense change in the surrounding atmosphere and whirled around, one arm held up to block against those dangerous claws and the other sending a 50kg yoyo careening toward the left side of Negi's ribcage.

[notamageiswear]

Those claws would shred the skin, should they make contact. But as fast as Negi was, he wasn't prepared to be blindsided by something hitting him that hard. It was roughly the same weight as he or Kotarou, which he was used to, but not at that velocity. It still would hurt... if it weren't for his enhanced durability in this form. Instead of injuring him, he was sent flying back a foot or two with a grunt, claws pulled back by the force before they could slice.

Oh, Killua. You've only just made him even more angry. In retaliation and without so much as a word, Negi shot behind Killua, claws aimed to pierce right at the middle of his back.

[AIZEN] En route to park.

[marsfireignite]

Mars wasn't losing anyone else today.

The images the Animus had forced into her head -- of watching her fellow senshi die in front of her, watching Sailor Moon sob hysterically as Mars was taken away to... to where, exactly? Darkness, she supposed. Cold, everlasting darkness. -- were having their effect on the senshi's judgement. Rushing into a conflict without any idea of what you were facing? It was a stupid mistake. An amateur mistake.

But a necessary one.

She raced along the streets, PCD clenched firmly in hand, her teeth gritted together as she tracked Negi's energy signature. That demonic power was ridiculously strong and with every step, Mars felt like it was beginning to overcome her. She knew Sailor Moon was behind her, somewhere, but she didn't take the time to wait. She had told Negi everyone was going to be safe this week. It was time to stick to her promise.

[AIZEN] En route to park (sorry for tl;dr; he gloats X_X)

[divine_dork]

He glided over the city: he was powerful and free and beyond all compare, he was without fear and without need and beyond care or desire. He flew without even a flicker of his new, glorious wings, joyful, triumphant, and hungry.It was a most curious feeling, Aizen thought; a brief, flickering thought that faded very soon. He was in no mood nor state for introspection. The power that coursed through him now was unimaginable, even through the limitations he could sense the city struggling to inflict on him, and he didn't stop to question its price. If he hungered like a Hollow, that surely meant that, like a Hollow, he could grow yet more powerful by satisfying that hunger. There were souls singing all around him, everywhere in the rubble, the joke of a city he was soaring over, and some of them were mighty, attracting him like beacons

[AIZEN] En route to park. (IT'S OKAY. <3~! He can gloat all he wants.)

[marsfireignite]

She felt Aizen before she saw the shadow, a sharp spike in evil power that made the senshi slide to a stop, her breath catching in her throat. That wasn't Negi.. that sheer magnitude of power couldn't be Negi. And when she heard the voice -- so unlike the Aizen that she had spoken to, that most everyone had spoken to -- she felt her blood turn to ice.

This was not good.

She immediately spun on her heel to look up, teeth gritted together, her PCD gripped firmly in her hand. She would not show fear, not one iota of it... but her heart was racing.

"Aizen?" she whispered, stumbling backwards only a step or two, in order to gauge the... creature before her. He was unrecognizable from the man Mars had watched from afar, but she knew. She just knew.

Re: [AIZEN] En route to park. (/villains on XD)

[divine_dork]

"Very good." Honestly, he would not have expected her to recognize him. He was now so far beyond what he had been then... so vastly transformed and dazzlingly superior. And she was different as well, he thought, tasting the power of her souls about her. Oh, she was strong, as insects went. She smelled good. A lovely first catch.

"Was it my voice?" There was no need to hurry. He took some pleasure in the act of restraint, delaying the inevitable like a cat who'd caught a fluttering bird. "Or - could you sense my power, even before?"

He glided toward her, fast enough to corner her, but not so instantly. His hand, grasping the unsheathed Kyouka Suigetsu, was casually extended. "You are stronger than I recall."

[Negi] Northeast Sector, not far from the highschool

[waverly_wiz]

After a short time summoning up her courage, Alex ran to where she thought she'd be able to find Negi. She was never very good with maps, but she could see that big, dark aura over the trees and buildings.

When she finally saw him, she paled. She may have been a wizard, but Alex had never seen anything as out of control as this. But as afraid as she was, the thought of running hadn't crossed Alex's mind. Ok, well, maybe it did. A little. Okay, a lot. But Alex had grown to like Negi. He was always nice to her, and he seemed to have a pretty decent head on his shoulders for a little kid.

Steeling her grip on her wand, Alex stood at a safe distance.

"Negi! You have to stop this!" she shouted, hoping it might work but knowing deep down that it would be of no use.

[notamageiswear]

Negi hadn't been concerned with the energy signature he felt coming up on him. It wasn't quite on the level of that white-haired boy or the boy with dog ears... but as it came closer, his sensitive nose could detect the almost spicy scent of magic. So, this one was a mage, too.

He waited, seeing as the person seemed to be coming to him. He wouldn't need to chase. As Alex approached, standing in an admirably courageous fashion, he tilted his head, much like an inquisitive puppy.

But once she did nothing, he made his first move. In a flash, he was in front of her, arm shooting up to slash those dragon-like claws at her shoulder.

[waverly_wiz]

"Gah!" Alex cried, as her shoulder was scratched. She had attempted to dodge the blow, but it wasn't quite fast enough. She was scared, but she barely felt the pain; her adrenaline was running in overdrive. At the moment of impact, she'd started running. Not away from, but around Negi, hoping to be able to cast a spell.

Of course, we're talking Alex, here. Her vanity took over for a split second as she raised her wand. Wouldn't want any nasty scars hanging around, now would we?

"Mcreary Timereary!" she shouted, hoping to reverse those past few seconds. Maybe if it worked, she'd be able to anticipate his movement a little better.
