Mahou Sensei Negima!
Period 301: To The Battle To Save The World!!
[Insert text: The true enemy lies just ahead!!]
Negi: Staff Lightning Halberd!!

2
Shirabe: I... It's no good! // The intruders just aren't stopping! // We sent two thousand of Dynamis-sama's Guardian Puppets to meet them... // ...but they're proceeding up the Infinite Stairway with barely even a drop in speed!
Fate: Dear me... I admit this is hardly unexpected, but still... // ...they're tearing through a force that could conquer a small fortress as though they were paper.
Dynamis: This situation is more than sufficient... // ...to bring back memories of the detestable Ala Rubra and its Thousand Master.
Fate: Are the preparations complete?
Dynamis: Indeed. We need only obtain the cooperation of the Princess. // The rest is up to you, Tertium.

3
Dynamis: How goes the battle with the allied fleet?
Brigitte: Well... / In short, we have the clear advantage. // The difference in military strength between their forty-seven ships and our own four hundred thousand puppet demons is overwhelming. // Furthermore, the proportion of Megalomesembrian-born true humans in the fleet is small, / and so they have little means of defence against our Code of the Lifemaker weapons...
Dynamis: ...Hm. // Things are proceeding smoothly on that front, then. / In other words... // Were it not for the interference of those brats, our victory would have been guaranteed.
[TN: And we would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids!]
Dynamis: It truly is a pity that our attempt to neutralise the boy ahead of time was unsuccessful.
Fate: That was merely a precautionary tactic. I doubt that even you... / ...saw the boy as a particularly serious threat at that stage.
Dynamis: He must be eliminated.
Fate: As you wish.

4
Dynamis: Hmph... Are you quite sure? // I was under the impression that you had developed something of an attachment to the boy.
Fate: ...Not particularly. / You may do as you please. // I will be finishing up the operation.
Dynamis: Hmm... // ... // Negi Springfield... / This outrageous strength he possesses... // And a will powerful enough to cast aside even Cosmo Entelecheia... / Truly... one cannot help but recall the Thousand Master.
Homura: ...
Koyomi: E - Erm... Dynamis-sama...
Dynamis: ...What do you want, cat?
Koyomi: A - Are you sure you'll be... N - No, you'll be all right... of course you will! // After all, you're the only survivor of those battles twenty years ago... you're a magnificent person who has been serving Lifemaker-sama for many years... / I'm sure you have some kind of trump card to play against those intruders...

5
Dynamis: Hmph...
Koyomi: ?!
Tamaki: (I've never seen Dynamis-sama take his mask off before...)
Koyomi: (H - He's surprisingly attractive...?)
Homura: (I was sure he'd look much older, or else inhuman...)
Dynamis: I am but a defeated general who has lost his master. // Yes... but a wretched puppet who has lived beyond his years.
Koyomi: D... // Dynamis-sama...
Dynamis: Well, if I had to say whether I will be all right or not... // To be blunt...

6
Dynamis: I doubt I will be all right at all. // How can I hope to prevail with naught but the likes of you feeble young girls as subordinates?
Homura: [aside]that is blunt...[/aside]
Koyomi: Aahhh! That's harsh, Dynamis-sama!
Tamaki: [aside]I apologise for my worthlessness...[/aside]
Dynamis: Just think about it for a moment. / Our organisation, Cosmo Entelecheia, was once a mighty establishment with membership in the hundred thousands... // Now, we are reduced to a pack of five or six little girls. It is so pathetic, I could cry.
Homura: [aside]the bluntness, it burns...[/aside]
Tamaki: [aside]my apologies...[/aside]
Koyomi: [aside]I never knew Dynamis-sama could be so frank...[/aside]
Dynamis: If you think about it carefully, hell, even if you don't think about it carefully, there's nothing "all right" about our current situation. // And Takamichi and Gödel are to blame for it all...!
Homura: [aside]Oh...?[/aside]
Koyomi: [aside]Takamichi... as in, of the "Eternal Wind"?![/aside]
Tamaki: [aside]I saw Gödel on TV![/aside]
Dynamis: That man hunted down those remnants of Cosmo Entelecheia who had survived the Great War with all the persistence of a deadly snake... // Yet had he been alone, he could have been dealt with. / The problem was the elite forces that Megalomesembria proper had been keeping in reserve, as well as Gödel's organisational skills. // We were hunted down like dogs, driven almost to extinction. / So what do you think we did?
Koyomi: Wh - What exactly did you do?

7
Dynamis: We played dead!!
Homura: [aside]I knew that, but...[/aside]
Koyomi: Whaaaaaaaa?! / [aside]you played dead~?![/aside]
Tamaki: That's so lame...
Dynamis: It is not "lame". It is a military tactic. / As a result, our enemies were convinced that we had been annihilated. / [aside]of course, that was not so far from the truth...[/aside] // By taking advantage of their resulting negligence, we have succeeded in obtaining the Twilight Imperial Princess, infiltrating the depths of the Graveyard, obtaining the Code of the Lifemaker... // ...and now, we are finally on the verge of executing the master stroke that we were unable to achieve twenty years ago! // And all that with such a miniscule force. / These are your fruits of battle.
Koyomi: Eh...?
Dynamis: You should be proud, young girls.

Koyomi: D... Dynamis-sama...
Tamaki: (I always thought he was pretty scary, but...)
Koyomi: (He's actually a nice guy...?) / [aside]he must have had it rough...[/aside]
Homura: ...
Dynamis: In truth, I have much to thank you for... // When I thought that all of my wishes were to come to naught... // ...it was you who gave me a final chance. // An opportunity to bring down the hammer of divine punishment upon a foolish mankind! // And to give Takamichi and Gödel the shock of their lives!!
Koyomi: (Was that last bit really necessary~~~?!) // It's personal...?!
Tamaki: So petty...!
Dynamis: Now, it is time that I myself stood on the field of battle!!
Koyomi: Dynamis-sama!
Dynamis: All of this could still come to naught if that boy is not stopped!! / You girls remain here!!

9
Tsukuyomi: Going out on your own? // That's not very friendly, Dynamis-han. / Heading off to battle without inviting me to join the fun.
Dynamis: Tsukuyomi... / If you wish to come, then so be it. In our current position, we have no choice but to accept help even from one such as yourself.
Tsukuyomi: Well, you know! // I do want to earn my keep here~!♪

10
Setsuna: We've reached the end of the spiral staircase...
Negi: I'm not seeing any more enemy summons...
Kaede: Are you ready, Shiori-dono?
Shiori: Y - Yes. // Negi-san!
Shiori!Asuna: Negi!!
Shiori: Asuna-san, if you would excuse me for a short while...
Shiori!Asuna: Hm? Yeah, sure, go ahead. / [aside]it is your body, after all...[/aside]
Negi: Shiori-san...
Shiori: Negi-san... Are you all right?
Negi: Hm...?
Shiori: Well, you have been fighting in that form for this whole time...! // D... Dynamis-sama's strength is not normal. Are you sure you have enough magic to...

11
Negi: I'm all right. / Thanks to my training, I have managed to improve the efficiency with which I can use my Raiden Taisou by quite a large margin... // ...and I've had a full day of rest inside of Cosmo Entelechaia as well, so I'm pretty much full to the brim on magic.
Shiori: I... Is that right...?
Chisame: ...
Kaede: ...That is not the whole story, is it?
Negi: !
KuFei: Indeed... I am only an amateur when it comes to magic, but... // Despite fighting all of those enemies, it did not feel as though your magical power was decreasing at all. If anything, it seemed to be growing...
Setsuna: You're supplementing your own magical capacity using Magia Erebea... aren't you? // You're becoming more attuned to it... / In which case, its corruption, too, must be...
Negi: ...Yes. // It would certainly... seem that way.
Shiori: Wh... What?! Are you sure you are all right?
Shiori!Asuna: (Negi...)

12
Negi: I'm just fine. / I mean, I may not actually be just fine, but... // I have faith that even if my condition does worsen, I'll be just fine as long as you're all here, so... / I'm just fine.
Shiori: ...!
Shiori!Asuna: (Ahh...)
KuFei: Hm.
Chisame: Heh...
Nodoka: Sensei...
Konoka: Negi-kun...
Negi: And besides, for the moment, I should just be thankful for this increase in power.
Kaede: Ahah... your words ring true.
Negi: I apologise if I'm being a little rash.
Chisame: Well, hey... it's not so bad, is it?
Negi: Let us go, Shiori-san. / To save the world. // And let us go, Asuna-san. / To save you.

13
Shiori!Asuna: (Wh... What's up with that? Stupid Negi... / Throwing me off...)
Negi: Shiori-san.
Shiori: Yes... // That is the entrance to the graveyard. // If we pass through the graveyard and up to the higher levels...
Kaede: Wait! // There's something... // ...someone in there!
Setauna: Is it an ambush...? A trap?
Kaede: No... // They are making no attempt to hide their massive spiritual and magical force... / Presumably they seek a straightforward battle...
Negi: ...... // Let us go!

[no text just arena]

15
Dynamis: Welcome, members of Ala Alba. // Children of the next generation.

16
Sayo: Aahhh!

17
Kotarou: Man, this sure is one handy Artifact! // They should be able to see us, but they don't notice a thing!
Yue: It is incredible.
Natsumi: I - Is it really that big a deal...?
Someone: Mm...!
[Text: Murakami Natsumi's Artifact / "Adjutor Solitarius" / Whenever the user wears this mask... // ...her presence as felt by others will be completely suppressed! It's a powerful form of attention-diversion magic. It can even affect any number of people as long as they're all holding hands!!]
Kotarou: [aside]don't let go now~~![/aside] // But yeah... this thing is like the ultimate tool when it comes to covert operations!
Natsumi: R - Really?
Kotarou: Ahh, it sure would make my job one hell of a lot easier~~~! // Hey, Natsumi-neechan. / D'you fancy partnering up with me?

18
Natsumi: Ehh...? / [aside]p - partnering...[/aside] / What exactly do you -
Asakura: Come on now, no dragging ordinary folk into your shady business. // [aside]ahahahah![/aside]
Kotarou: I wouldn't say Natsumi-neechan's all that ordinary either, though, these days!
Sayo: Still, I wonder... // Why would Murakami-san get an Artifact like this...?
Kotarou: 'Cause she never gets noticed in the first place, of course!
Sayo: Ahh! Just like me!
Kotarou: It's the perfect Artifact for an invisible girl like Natsumi-neechan!♡
Natsumi: DUMMY~~~~~~~!!
Sayo: [aside]aaahhh![/aside]
Kotarou: Guahhhh!
BadGuys: [aside]Mmhh? // Nngh?[/aside]
Natsumi: WHOSE CHEST ARE YOU CALLING INVISIBLE~~~~~?!
Kotarou: I NEVER SAID THAT~~~~!
Asakura: Hey, Murakami...! Behind you, look behind you!! / Your Artifact, quick...!!
Chamo: [aside]uh, are we not all in a pretty serious situation right now?[/aside]
Yue: [aside]this is no time to be acting like we're in a romantic comedy...[/aside]
