//------------------------------// // Succesus // Story: Mahora: Multi-dimensional exchange student program // by Kaliann25 //------------------------------// Twilight opened her eyes slowly. She felt dizzy and disoriented; she didn’t even remember what happened. But slowly the memories started to come back to her. When she recovered partially, noticed she was in the hospital. “What happened?” asked the girl starting to scare. “So you’re finally up Twilight Sparkle” said Princess Celestia, who seemed to be very angry. Twilight looked at her mentor without understand anything. Checking, Twilight noticed the bandages all over her body and how also she was hobble. Now remembering everything, Twilight gasped and shrunk in a corner of her bed. “Princess! I’m terribly sorry. I wasn’t thinking, I wanted to win not to hurt you that bad but I got a little excited with the test and… Celestia hugged her crying. “Princess?” Still crying, Celestia slapped her student. “Do you realize you went too far, Twilight Sparkle?” Asked Celestia furious. “I know I shouldn’t hurt you that bad, that’s why I was apologizing” mumbled Twilight surprised by her teacher’s attitude. “I just wanted to win and you know… you said you wouldn’t help me to pass my test so I thought on one of Negi’s most powerful combos and well… sorry if I hurt you so much but you won and that’s all that matters” Celestia slapped her again. “I was apologizing. I’m terribly sorry Princess Celestia” “I’m not mad because of that!!” Shouted Celestia. “I’m mad because you almost die!! You fainted because your life force started to be drained; and why? Because you insisted to keep fighting and using your magic to send mine against me! I told you, you passed your test with honors, that your reached your limit; but no, the powerful Twilight had to win no matter what. STUDIES ARE IMPORTANT BUT MORE IMPORTANT IS YOUR LIFE!! NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR LIFE!!” Twilight froze scared by the situation. She really almost died? She didn’t know; all she could remember was the weakness increasing every second she retained Celestias’s magic. It was her life force leaving her? Then Celestia hugged her again and killed on the forehead. “You’re the closest thing I have for a daughter, Twilight Sparkle. Promise me you won’t scare me like that again and definitely you’ll do great on the next level on your students. Alright?” Twilight smiled weakly and hugged Celestia with a thankful smile. “You promise?” “I promise, Princess Celestia” Princess’ shadow got larger suddenly and raised; finally it turned into a wine colored unicorn with blonde mane and green eyes. Evangeline A.K. Mc.Dowell smiled evilly to the scared ponies. “Come on marshmallow, I wouldn’t worry if I were you. She played with my Magia Erebea so if she die, she’ll turn into an undead like Negi Springfield or me” “Evangeline, I already told you: don’t teleport on my shadow. It was an order” complained Celestia. Evangeline shrugged. “And I already told you: I’m not subject of yours, I’m the most powerful dark mage of all times, vampire Evangeline. There’s no way to make me docile, just ask the principal of Mahora Campus. Anyway I came because those idiots keep annoying me to ask for the fool’s health. You have them very worried Sparkle; luckily Konoka and Fluttershy are very skilled healers. If they wouldn’t use their Artifacts on time, well, I already told you what would happen” Twilight lowered her head. “How much I was unconscious?” “Twenty four hours” said Celestia a little more calmed. “After your friend’s intervention, you only needed to sleep for a little” Twilight smiled relieved. She was still surprised to know she was about to die for obsessing for an exam, but tried not to think too much about it. Then the door opened letting enter all the girls from the 4-A; leaded by four of her friends, who immediately ran to her bed. “Twilight” cried Rarity. “So good to see you’re okay! When we touched you, you were so cold and I thought we were going to lose you and… She couldn’t continue, just cried louder. Twilight noticed Pinkie then, she was strange for her, spreading some kind of sad aura; and the worst part was her mane, straight. Luckily the sadness go away when she saw Twilight was alright and even improvised a song with the help of the 4-A’s cheerleader club. Twilight chuckled and once they finished, Applejack and Fluttershy hugged her relieved. Everything seemed good. And then, a zoom called everypony’s attention. Fast as herself only, Rainbow Dash flew to her and ignoring Princess Celestia, started to shake her violently. “You!! Have you realized how much you scared us?! How much you scared me?! Twilight gulped without knowing what to say, besides she was to weak to think in something. Then, to Celestia’s surprise, Rainbow kissed her gently. Twilight accepted the kiss and returned it a little blushed. “Rainbow Dash…” “We just started dating and you already want to leave me” mumbled Rainbow with a small smile. “Anyway, I’m glad you’re alive” Twilight kissed her marefriend, relieved she wasn’t too angry and good. Then Satsuki Yotsuba, 4-A’s chef, came with a bento box of onigiris and manju buns. “Eat, it’ll help you to recover your strength faster” Twilight accepted and started to eat really excited. After the first bite, she realized how hungry she really was and devoured the entire bento box in less than five minutes. Princess Celestia let her eat and once Twilight finished, she just looked at Rainbow Dash with a devious smile. “What I want to know is if something special happened on Mahora Campus… you know, like starting a relationship” Rainbow tried to stay cool and shrugged, but her face was hot and red. “You know, the usual. We had to seal the Pactios with some requisite; nothing too special and we… we realized how much we liked each other and stuff like that” Celestia chuckled amused and turned to the Baka-Ranger plus one: “And speaking of Pactios, why did you lie to me girls? I supposed to be your teacher and I couldn’t teach you properly without knowing all the details about your abilities. So why you hide something that important to me?” Luna bowed smiling. “That was my fault, dear sister. I wanted to give Twilight Sparkle a bigger chance to defeat you so I convinced them to keep that secret for you in order to allow Twilight take you by surprise at the time she invocate the Ministra Magi of her team. And judging for what I saw, mission accomplished” Candace and Shining Armor walked to Twilight’s bed. “Ey Twily, are you okay now?” asked Shining. “You have no idea how much you scared us little filly” scolded Candace. “But at least you group have very skilled healers. Thanks to Fluttershy and Konoka we could move you to the hospital without any problems” “Thank you an sorry for worrying you. But I’m much better now” Shining smiled to his little sister. “I think from time to time you’re too dedicated for your own good, little sis; but still, you’re very good. And that kid is amazing, with his magic you could fight one on one with Princess Celestia; and according to Evangeline that was a truly high-level spell” Twilight nodded happy but then she yawned tiredly. “Very well. That was enough for today” said Celestia calmly. “Let the girl sleep for a little; we all know she’s okay now. Rainbow Dash, you can stay but the rest of us follow me, let’s give them some time alone” They nodded and started to walk but Twilight stopped somepony: “Negi-sensei” “Yeah, Twilight-san?” “Thank you very much; for everything” Negi fixed his glasses and smiled warmly. “No problem Twilight-san. Help those who are in need is the mission for all the Magister Magi. Take some rest now, Twilight-san, and before you realize, you’ll be better than ever” Twilight nodded and Negi left the room. At the end she just took Rainbow’s hoof and closed her eyes slowly. It was all over, they could rest now. Mahora Campus: A boy in a blue suit, blue eyes and white hair wandered at the empty 4-A class with a lost expression. He was like… bored? It was when an unnatural glow invaded the room letting pass a Chinese girl in a black and white jump suit with amber eyes and an oriental-styled hair. The girl grinned. “I’m back, Ne!” Fate Averruncus just shrugged, he doesn’t really care. “If you’re looking for Negi Springfield you’re wasting your time. He left to some place, and he won’t come back soon; I guess” The girl smiled like nothing and took Fate’s hands. “I really came to see you, Fate Averruncus. Ne! you see: I’m a genius, martial arts expert and a master Chinese chef. But my true identity is… a Martian, Ne!” “So you live in the Magical World. Exactly what are you doing here? The bridge that bonds the two worlds isn’t over yet” The strange girl took some strange machine from her pocket. It looked a lot like a watch; except it wasn’t. “Ne! I’m not only an intergalactic being; I’m also a time traveler; descendant of Negi Springfield. My name is Chao Ling Seng” “Again, what are you doing here, Chao Ling Seng?” Chao winked an eye to him and sighed a little sad. “Between you and me, Negi-bouzu is smart, powerful and a worthy rival; but he’s only a child after all. All of us fight to protect those around us no matter what; but the boy still doesn’t understand sometime you have to make sacrifices in order to have a victory. He’ll always try to save them all; and if we have to left someone behind, he prefers to be him. Noble and all but still the ideal of a child” “Those foolish thoughts were what motivated him to stop us to create a perfect world: our Cosmo Entelechia” said Fate. “Your idea is the best; you know it, I know it, but Negi still don’t want to admit it. That’s why I came to support you; because the future I came from is bad, not too bad but still bad. If we want to create an utopia we have to attach to the idea of the Cosmo Entelechia” Fate evaluated Chao with his deep blue eyes. At the end he smirked. “And what do you suggest?” Chao showed him again her time machine, the Casiopea. “Magic is amazing, so as technology; but when you put it together, the results are beyond imagination. That’s how I created Karakuri Chachamaru with Hakase’s help… and this little one, my greater pride. With some minor modifications, it can be used not only to travel through time but also between worlds, specifically one full of baby horses who look like they fall in a bucket of paint, Ne!” Fate raised an eyebrow, she lost him with the mention of the colorful horses. Still, he rolled his eyes and recovered as nothing. “Negi Springfield will do anything to stop us and you know it since he already did it once. And I still don’t understand the other world thing with this, what’s the big deal about it?” “Because your Cosmo Entelechia is good but not perfect yet, Ne! But if we add some Equestrian magic, all the bugs will be corrected in no-time. Still, is the most powerful magic from that world the one we need so we better work together to get it. Believe it or not, Equestria’s defenders are mucho more powerful that they seem” Fate seemed to consider the whole thing. “Okay, Negi Springfield is our major priority, in order to succeed we have to get him away. But he already defeated us and became much more powerful so we need another strategy, something or someone he doesn’t know yet” Chao agreed. “I already thought about it, after entire month of pure observation I think I found a new ally to our cause. She is a complete idiot who’ll do anything in exchange to learn new magic tricks in order to defeat her one-sided rival, Twilight Sparkle” “I hate guessing games. What’s the stupid plan?” “We find Trixie, we train her to make her a perfect Magister Magi and the she help us to fight Negi. Then, we return her to Equestria and let her fight with Sparkle. Nothing too complicated” Said that, Chao walked away calmly. Fate sat for a while considering the whole thing and he finally shrugged. “Why not?” Equestria: The girls of the 4-A were ready to leave. Shining and Candace ran to hug Asuna and Kaede. “It was so good to have you with us, you two” said Candace. “The palace will be much more quieter now than you’re leaving” “Promise us you’ll pay us a visit” smiled Shining winking an eye to them. The two girls hugged their hosts with a mixture of joy and sadness. Celestia was hugging Yue, Ku-Fei and Nodoka when she heard Shining’s invitations. “Well, if they come to visit I better buy a helmet” Spit Fire playfully punched Makie’s shoulder. “You born to be an athlete, but I feel sorry for your regular teacher. Promise me you’ll study as you suppose too” “Ehehehe… I’m an idiot Spit-sensei” The Pegasus grumped but still hugged her student. Incidents aside, she really cared about the energetic girl. Princesses Luna and Celestia didn’t say much, only advised Yue to study harder, but that was it. Everything was calm now; the exchange student program finished successfully and nothing bad happened. The Mane 6 looked at Negi, who smiled at them. “Okay, I think is time to say good bye, but I hope to see you again girls. It was a truly great pleasure to be your master” “Yeah! You promise us you’ll joining us at Mahora Festival” said Konoka with a playful smile. “Is the greatest party of all Japan” The girls smiled and hugged their classmates one by one. Now they were all part of their circle of friends. The magic of friendship proved to be more powerful than dimensional frontiers. At the end, Negi and Evangeline made the spell to get back home. The other girls just keep saying good bye. “It was the most interesting experience I ever had” smiled Celestia. “Well Twilight Sparkle, from now on I’ll give you more responsibilities as my student; but before of that, take a rest. Have some fun with your friends and marefriend treasuring every moment, alrright? When the time comes, I’ll call you; but now enjoy yourself” Twilight nodded taking Rainbow’s hoof. Since she was about to die to push herself too hard, it was good to have some time for herself. Everything was perfect, too perfect. FINEM
