Mahou Sensei Negima!
Period 227: All-Out Battle!! Negi's Party VS Fate's Party
[insert text: As Nodoka, Chisame and Haruna are in a tight spot, Kotarou comes to their aid!! It's time for him to demonstrate the results of his training!!]
[TN: ...Brigitte still speaks in tiny text...]
Brigitte: You are... // ...Inugami Kotarou, correct?
Kotarou: Heh. // You're gonna pay for messin' with my pals.

2
Chisame: Ngh... // Kotarou...
Nodoka: Unh... // ...Nhh... // Kotarou...kun?
Brigitte: Fate-sama has told me all about your encounter in Kyoto. / And Graf Herrman's mission, it would seem, did not exactly go according to plan... Although the mission itself, at least, was a success...
Kotarou: Uh-huh...?
Brigitte: With regards to you, I was told... "He has no real power, but his mouth is big enough for ten men; he is emotional, impulsive and direct... truly, children are difficult to handle."
Kotarou: Why, you...! // Are you asking for a knuckle sandwich?!
Chisame: Don't let her get to you, you idiot, she's obviously trying to provoke you!
Brigitte: Very well, I will play with you, little puppy. // (Hah... so pathetic...)
Kotarou: (Bring it on!)

3
Brigitte: Heh...
Chisame: Kota - !
Kotarou: Too slow...!

4
Kotarou: Ngh...!
Chisame: Agh - !
Brigitte: If you thought my Artifact was my only means of attack, then you truly are a fool. / You really are just a child...
Chisame: (You total idiot...! Jumping in there with your guard down like that... you haven't grown one bit, you stupid little...!)
Kotarou: The hell is this?! // There're tree roots twining all round me...!
Brigitte: This is the special ability of my tribe. // Now, then... should I simply crush you to death like this...?
Kotarou: Guahhhh! // ...Ju~st kidding!♡
Brigitte: ?!

5
Kotarou: Sorry to disappoint, but that's just a clone. / [aside]I learned it straight from Kaede-neechan![/aside]
Brigitte: ?! // (Impressive... even the presence and density of the clone are identical to the original...)
Kotarou: Sorry... that one too! // Heh...

6
Kotarou: Come to think of it, there ain't really much point me fighting you. // [aside]you okay?[/aside] // Besides, I'm not keen on hitting girls. // See ya.
Chisame: [aside]you're actually not half bad...[/aside]
Brigitte: Ngh...! // Ahh... // They got away... Movement between shadows... a shadow-based technique. Not bad, Inugami.
Someone: Down there!
Brigitte: (The guards from Ariadne... Time for me to pull back. // Fate-sama... they are more powerful than your information suggested...)

7
Asuna: Negi - ! // Setsuna-san, we have to go after Negi - // Setsuna-san?
Setsuna: ?!
Tsukuyomi: Ehehehe... I have been waiting with such anticipation for this moment... // ...Senpai!♡
Setsuna: Tsukuyomi!!!
Tsukuyomi: Ahh, these weeks have gone by so slowly... // To have such delicious meat dangled right before my eyes, and be able to do nothing but wait...

8
Tsukuyomi: Ahh... all this waiting has taken its toll... / I just... // [aside]*pant*[/aside] // ...can't wait any longer. // [aside]*pant* / *pant*[/aside]
Asuna: (What's with... this girl...?)
Setsuna: Asuna-san, you go on ahead!
Asuna: But - !
Setsuna: Don't argue, just go!
Tsukuyomi: Senpai... Setsuna-senpai... // Please, satisfy me now... / If you don't satisfy me, why... // I might even... // ...end up slicing up all these other little puppets all around us as well...
Setsuna: (This girl... is dangerous...!!)

9
Asuna: Setsuna-san, be careful... // That girl...
Setsuna: Don't worry. // (All right...! // If Asuna-san makes it in time with her Magic Cancel ability... // ...Negi-sensei might have a chance of defeating the enemy before him...) // Adeat! // Kyoto Shinmeiryuu... / Sakurazaki Setsuna... // ...is here.
Tsukuyomi: Aahh...

10
Tsukuyomi: Ehehehehe... / Ahaha... // Ahahahahahahahahahaha! // [aside]aaahhh~!♡[/aside]

11
Asuna: (Negi went... towards the river, I think... // A new enemy?!) // !

12
Asuna: (She engulfed me in flames just by looking at me! // Is this some kind of Artifact or ability?) // Ugh... // (But if it's magical flames I'm up against, I've got the advantage for sure! // I just have to deal with her and go after Negi... // Another one!!)
Someone: Hello there... // ...Princess!♡

13
Negi: *pant* // *pant* // *pant*
Fate: Now, then... // Let us do battle, Negi-kun. That is why you gained that power, is it not?
Negi: (I already knew he was formidable... // Just concentrate.) // ?!! // (What on Earth is that mandala-esque barrier...? // Is this what was blocking my attacks...? That's no human technique...!!!)

14
Negi: !! // (He certainly is powerful...) // [aside]Ras Tel Ma Scir Magister...[/aside] // (But...) // [aside]Kenotetos Astrapsato...[/aside]

15
Negi: (It's not like before.) // [aside]...Dios Tukos![/aside] // (I can fight him!!!)
Fate: Lovely. // Very nice, Negi-kun. // That's what I'm looking for.

16
Negi: ?!
Fate: !

17
Fate: ...What's wrong, hmm?
Negi: Nghh... // (Not good... my Armationem has...!)
Fate: Get up, Negi-kun. // Please don't disappoint me, now. // That can't possibly be all you have, can it? / We're only just beginning.
Negi: (I have to...!!)

18
Fate: ?!!
Nodoka: What is... // ...your name?!
[insert text: Appearing at the crucial moment! Nodoka's courage saves Negi?!! That's right... this is only just beginning!!]
