[Insert text: The fusion of the Magical World with reality continues! Is there nothing that the people of Mahora can do?!!]
Dean: This is... // ...quite a crisis.
Imma: Indeed... It's like the very picture of an epic crisis.
Dean: The massive accumulation of magical energy has finally linked the two worlds together...
Akashi: Could that be...?
Dean: Yes... it can only be the innermost part of the ruins of Old Ostia - the Gravekeeper's Palace.
Imma: Hm... // They're fighting, I see.
Akashi: What? / Who exactly is...?
Imma: Negi-kun... // ...and the tool of that world's Creator.

Mahou Sensei Negima!
Period 321: Everyone's All-Out Battle!!
[Insert text: Clash! // Fists of conviction!!]
Negi: Haaaaahhhhh...!!
Fate: Nghaahhhh...!!

4
Fate: (H...) // Unn...ghhh... // (His fists... // ...are identical to...)

5
Negi: ?!
Fate: Impressive. Most impressive, Negi-kun. // That attack was on the same level as Jack Rakan.
Negi: I'm the one who's impressed, Fate. Even now I find it difficult to believe that you're able... // ...to handle my lightning-speed close-quarters combat, that even Rakan-san was unable to keep up with.

6
Fate: Heh... // Eheheh...
Negi: !!
Fate: Earth-Splitting Torrent! // Ahahahahahahahahah!!
Negi: What's so funny, Fate?!
Fate: Hah... // I caught a glimpse of a smile on your face as well just now, Negi-kun.
Negi: Eh...? / [aside]no way![/aside]
Fate: You seemed to be having fun! // I finally understand now, Negi-kun! // This... This is it!!
Negi: Haaahhhh!!

7
Negi: !
Fate: ...! // This is what it means... to have fun, yes?
Negi: ?!
Fate: Jack Rakan told me something. // He said I should try to enjoy myself. // Right now, you are on the verge of surpassing my strength. // That is only natural! / You are, after all, wielding the power of darkness!!

8
Fate: The power that you have gained is one and the same as the power of my master. // But... do you truly understand... / ...the price at which that power comes?
Negi: Oh, I understand. And I don't care. // I'll use whatever power it takes to stop you. / And I won't kill you, either.

9
Negi: ?!
Fate: ...Ah...
People: This is...! // G - Guys, take a look up! Up above! // There's something up in the sky! Some kind of... ground...!
Haruna: No way... // That's...!
Chachamaru: The topography is a perfect match... Without a doubt, that is...
Negi: Mahora Academy...?

10
Eva: There's... no doubt about it... / Boy... // Of all things... // You chose to pursue Magia Erebea...
Chachazero: Magia Erebea? Oh, you mean that thing from back when you were totally weak and Orisupe helped you out...?
[TN: Disclaimer: the wording here is incredibly vague and I don't know what "Orisupe" refers to, so my translation of this line has a high probability of being completely wrong. It could feasibly just be an unusual abbreviation of "original spell" or similar, in which case this line could be interpreted as simply "that original spell you relied on back when you were totally weak".]
Eva: That's right.
Chachazero: Come to think of it, you lost the scroll for it to that musclebrain in a bet, didn't ya?
Eva: He was a dirty cheat! It irritates me just thinking about it! // At any rate, I didn't think much of it at the time... / ...since it's not as though he had any need for it, and it wouldn't be much use to any ordinary human...
Zazie: ...
Eva: ...But I suppose it's true... there's no other way that he could have come this far in such a short space of time... // (Even so... // Him, of all people...)

11
Zazie: Are you not happy? / Seeing your apprentice mastering his master's technique... // [aside]and he's the son of your beloved, as well![/aside]
Eva: Not particularly...
Zazie: Except you're super-happy really.
Eva: You're really annoying now you've started talking, you know that?! / [aside]you remind me of a certain robot...[/aside] // At any rate, that technique was designed exclusively for my own use, as a true-blooded vampire. / If a mere human were to use it...
Fumika: What's a "true-blooded vampire"?
Fuuka: [aside]so cute~![/aside]
Eva: What the-?! What are you doing here?!
Fumika: [aside]we just got back from the UK~! // heyas~~!♡[/aside]
Chizuru: [aside]hohoho...[/aside]
Fumika: You're the one who called us, remember~?!
Sakurako: Oh, wow~~! There's some pretty epic stuff going on here, huh~?
Misa: This kind of thing is why nothing beats Mahora!
Eva: Guehh?!

12
Fumika: Eva-chan, Eva-chan, what's that thing up in the sky~? // [aside]tell us, tell us~![/aside]
Eva: Why would you ask me?
Misa: 'Cause! You were just gazing up at it meaningfully!
Eva: Hrmph...
Madoka: There are people taking bets down below on what that thing really is, you know! The front runner at the moment is a demonstration of the Tech Club's latest breakthrough in 3D imagery!
Eva: [aside]the students at this academy never change...[/aside]
Fuuka: My guess is an alien mothership! / [aside]go for the dark horse! make a killing if you're right![/aside]
Eva: I... I see...
Sakurako: I dunno, it looks kinda beat-up for a UFO...
Chizuru: Oh, my... // I really can see Negi-sensei up there.
Fuuka: Really?!
Eva: What?
Fuuka: Lemme see, lemme see~!
Eva: How did you know that Negi is...?
Misa: The whole student body is working together to observe and analyse this phenomenon. There are rumours flying all around about sightings of the famous child teacher.
Eva: [aside]clearly these students are not to be underestimated...[/aside]
Girls: Oh, wow! It really is Negi-sensei~! // Really? Really? Let me see~~! // No, that can't be him! The hair's too long! / And it's white! // Maybe he's cosplaying?
Madoka: Still, if Negi-kun's in on it, then maybe it really is a Tech Club demonstration...
Sakurako: Oh, yeah... I guess my "a castle from a magic land suddenly appeared out of thin air" guess is right out, then...
Eva: [aside]she got it right...[/aside]

13
Fuuka: No, it's got to be a UFO!! // [aside]it all makes sense![/aside] // Negi-sensei is on the spaceship fighting the evil aliens!!
Eva: [aside]I see...[/aside]
Fumika: [aside]after Negi disappeared back in Wales, one theory was that he'd been abducted by aliens.[/aside]
Ayaka: So what is the real explanation, Evangeline-san? // Or perhaps... // ...it would be more appropriate to address you as "Dark Evangel"?
Eva: Yukihiro Ayaka... / Where did you learn that name...?

14
Ayaka: Of course... // I won't force you to say anything if you don't want to...
Eva: Hmph...
Ayaka: Now then, everyone! // That's enough standing around staring! It's time for us to initiate Project 3A!!
Fuuka/Fumika: Project 3A?!
Sakurako: That's the first I've heard of this!
Ayaka: Regardless of what is actually happening up there... / My intuition is telling me with great certainty that it is no ordinary occurrence!! // And it is also clear that Negi-sensei and the others are up there right now!! // No matter what happens from here on out, we members of Class 3-A... / ...will lend our full support to Negi-sensei!!
Girls: Ahhh?!
Ayaka: This is... // ...an order from your Class Rep!!
Girls: So, our first step should be to gather as much information as possible!! // Hakase!! // Come on, everyone, help out with the data gathering!!
Satsuki: [aside]care for refreshments~?[/aside]
Girls: Sacchan!! / Meat buns!!

15
Ayaka: I'm sure you're all tired from the long journey, but this is no time to be resting!!
Girls: Yeah~~~~~~~!♡ // [aside]Ah! It's the Aviation Club's airship and the Military Society's aeroplane!! / Come on guys, we can't let the university students outdo us~!
Eva: Heh...
Zazie: Our classmates never change, do they?
Eva: Idiots, the lot of them.
Zazie: Really? I find it quite heartening.
Chachazero: It's all very well getting motivated, but if they think this is like an extension of the school festival, aren't they just gonna get themselves killed? // [aside]eheheheh // that would be fun![/aside]
Zazie: Are you not going to stop them?
Eva: Well... I suppose they are my classmates. // I'm sure I'll be able to handle whatever this situation throws at them.
Zazie: ... // So you do like them. // [aside]how unexpected.[/aside]
Eva: I DO NOT!! / [aside]shut up![/aside]
