I Am Negima and So Can You

Describe I Am Negima and So Can You here. Yeah, you go on and try.

The best way to describe this is what an actual crossover by Studio Shaft would be like, rather than just lipservice/cameos.

User:Cygnus's breakout into the Mahou Sensei Negima fanfic world, but set in the Negima!? continuity. Why?

The second half is Pani Poni Dash!.

Negi finds that his class is struggling in math thanks to a new teacher on the block.

Dean Konoe's solution? Call Rebecca Miyamoto.

But this turns into an Excuse Plot when Becky's gang follow her, leading to one of them going missing, just as the heroes also actually find the legendary chupacabra... Or is it? And thusly they become involved in something increasingly bigger than the child teachers can imagine.

As he was annoyed with the feeling They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot in Negima!? despite loving the flawed series otherwise, this author decided to railroad the Star Crystal arc  in favor of a new and more involved plot. Seriousness need not apply--it's a SHAFT work after all.

Is part of a series, divided up into Acts much like a play.


 * Act I: Scheme!?
 * Act II: Nightmare!?

One last thing: Don't be fooled by one of the characters sharing a name with this troper, it is NOT a self-insert by any means.

""What the hell is up with Lirael?!" - Becky "Same thing you get when you cross an elephant with a rhino." - Asuna"
 * Alternate Character Interpretation (One of the many people who ran with Konoka Konoe's Obfuscating Stupidity and Chessmaster abilities, and used liberally with Rokugou.)
 * All Girls Want Bad Boys (Rokugou's attraction to Cygnus)
 * Anti-Villain (Cygnus, who holds many types but is primarily a Noble Demon)
 * Ass Pull (Lampshaded with )
 * Batman Gambit (Frequently employed by Cygnus to further his plans, )
 * Bound and Gagged (Poor Rokugou... Cygnus has an attack that induces this, )
 * Boss Fight (Used and lampshaded in Nightmare!?)
 * Came Back Wrong
 * Chessmaster (Konoka, ... for the good guys. Cygnus is the villain for this trope.)
 * Drunk on the Dark Side
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass (Himeko)
 * Eldritch Abomination
 * Enemy Within / Split Personality
 * I Am Legion (Lirael, )
 * Let's Get Dangerous (Most of the PPD cast)
 * Nightmare Fuel (In of course, Nightmare!?, we have: )
 * Reluctant Monster
 * Shipper on Deck (Many enjoy enjoy the Toy Ship of Negi/Becky and blatantly ignore the Squick. Also ruthlessly parodied with Konoka and Setsuna, which is usually met with complaints about the UST or for them to get a room.)
 * Shout-Out (Just about everywhere. The entirety of Nightmare!? is a shout out to the Castlevania franchise, certain fights play out like boss fights from certain video games, etc.)
 * Stealth Pun ( Dialogue in Episode 9:


 * ...hell if I know.)
 * Stockholm Syndrome (Rokugou and Cygnus. The other characters don't like this, fearing Stockholm Shnozzing. )
 * Theme Pairing (Negi and Becky, which this author happily ships.)
 * Tomato Surprise (The chupacabra in Act I turns to be )
 * Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World (How the story begins, but averted and takes a backseat to the issues at hand)
 * With Great Power Comes Great Insanity (Cygnus's One-Winged Angel form,, an inversion with Himeko's armor card, which makes her less spacy and slightly more aggressive)
