How long had it been since Negi could truly cut loose? It had been quite a long time and Chamo and Barry were looking out for one another.

Stepping into the sensoriums, Negi looked over at the recreation of the Gravekeeper's Palace floating overhead. He could remember most of it, from regaining his memories of the attack that ruined the magical world and earth in a simultaneous blow, but stepping forward was Fate, the pale haired boy giving him a silent look.

The pair stared at each other for a long moment, and then seconds later, exploded into energy. Fists crashed against each others cheeks in a cross-counter as they skidded backwards.

"Come, Negi. Show me your plan." intoned Fate.

Negi grinned as his form changed, invoking his most powerful ability. His hair fanned out and became a long pink swathe of hair as his body glowed in a brilliant pink light as he shot forward, Fate coming to meet him in a devastating blow. The sound of violence could DEFINITELY be heard from behind the door in the sensorium, as the pair rained blow after blow down in a dizzying volley.

"...I knew it. Using power like that corrupted you. I was going to warn you but it seems you are too far gone. You may remain in control now but the more you continue like that, the more you become a danger to everyone around you. You will become a host to a daemon and cause mass destruction."

It really was what she was going to say. Admittedly, now she was mildly impressed that he had not fallen to a daemon's power. No matter how old he was, it indicated that he had a large amount of willpower.

A faint smirk curled on Negi's face as he folded his arms. "Maybe, someday, that might be true. But not now. Not as long as I have friends and family watching, caring for me. I fight with this power, and when I do fall, I'll be like my master, and I honestly don't mind that anymore. If I become like her, it means I became closer to her."

He smirked widely. "I might be young, but I knew what I had to do to take this power, the grey path, muddied and stained and fighting for what's right. I've lost control several times, and it's my loved ones who bring me back. I'll fight, and even if this daemon takes control of me, then it's of my own creation and not an outside force. Different worlds, different rules."

"You fool!"

Being an Aspect Warrior, she had a difficult time restraining any violent emotions. In an unintentional move, she pulled her sword off her back, the blades on it whirring with a light hum. She didn't mean to be overly hostile but she couldn't help it.

"The Warp exists everywhere! The existence of various worlds changes nothing. If you believe it is just you, it is the daemon inside you fooling you! Take these matters more seriously! Your wish to be evil or good as no bearing on the matter."

Surprisingly, Negi wasn't perturbed at the least. "Maybe in your universe. Not in mine. There are many worlds, and many universes. Sometimes, you just have to believe that there's nothing but your own friends to do this for you."

He folded his arms. "People can protect one another, and it's never the same in one world or another twice. Maybe your Warp belongs in your universe, maybe it doesn't in mine. But when you get down to it, this was my decision, and I'll let my friends and loved ones decide on what happens when I become a monster, or not."

"If it worries you, then watch over me, protect me as I protect you." He held out his hand.

"Will you be my friend, and help tide the darkness then?"

"Right now, the Warp exists. Even now, I feel it flowing through me just as I flow through it. You are not exercising enough caution."

That gesture he made and the words that came with it. It forced her to recoil from his hand, the disgust clear in her movement since her face wasn't visible.

"Protected? By a mon-keigh? And me protect one? You are truly more foolish than you appear at first sight."

To that, Negi chuckled. "My offer still stands. We can't stay apart in this place, not united. Maybe I am foolish. Maybe I am just ten years old. But I'm always sure when I know there's a good person in front of me."

"Was that supposed to be some sort of compliment?"

Color her very much confused as the humans she know would kill her any second they got. Compliments, fake or real, never happened.

Negi chuckled. "Yes that was a compliment."

She didn't find it funny at all. "What a disgrace."

Negi shrugged. "Call it what you will. I'm always honest with what I need to say." Slight lies but he was doing his best at least, since the only thing he had trouble admitting was relationship stuff.

"I will do what I wish, yes." And one of the things she wished was to make use of the room. She didn't leave, instead she leaned up against the wall and waited. If there was anything she had in droves, it was patience.

Negi smiled and nodded, conjuring up a bottle of water to sip from it as he headed for the door. He was finished anyhow, considering that everyone seemed to come and visit during his training session. What he was wondering at least was why she needed that particular one.
