Saihara pushed through the branches, pulling Yumeno with him, in attempt to catch up to Harukawa. She ran off through the trees after seeing something she thought as slightly suspicious. "Harukawa, slow down!" He called to her, but there was no answer. The two looked, just in case she was nearby and out in the open, but that proved useless. Harukawa was trained to stay in the shadows, after all.
"Harukawa?" Yumeno called out sleepily. Then, someone dropped down in front of them. Saihara put his arm in front of Yumeno protectively, but brought it back to his side when he realized it was their missing companion. Harukawa grabbed Saihara's free hand and sprinted through the trees, causing Yumeno to yelp.
Harukawa stopped and let go of Saihara's hand when they exited the woods, allowing Saihara to drop Yumeno's hand as well. In front of them was a gigantic castle. It seemed to be made completely of grey bricks and stood proudly the the top of a hill. Saihara gaped at it's beauty. "Wow..." He muttered. Suddenly, Harukawa pulled the other two into a bush, shushing them.
"I'm telling you Minerva, I saw people just over here!" An insanely short man told a wise looking woman. The woman, supposedly named Minerva, looked at the bushes, and starting walking towards theirs. Harukawa pulled Saihara down further, mouthing the word ahoge. Had they seen his hair?
"I believe you're correct, Filius. I did see some blue hair over here, but someone must've pulled them down." Minerva told the shorter man. Saihara silently cursed himself from behind the bush before Harukawa pulled them both back slightly. The bush was lit ablaze. Saihara set a hand over his mouth to prevent screams from escaping. The trio were now revealed to the strangers.
"Yumeno, Saihara, get out of here." Harukawa told her companions as she drew a knife and got into a fighting stance. Saihara nodded and took Yumeno's hand again, running off. They didn't get very far when a strange light surrounded them. Saihara tried to move but his limbs wouldn't respond.
"Nyeh... Must be a freezing spell..." Yumeno hummed. The woman, Minerva, walked over to the frozen duo, her face so still it was like stone.
"Your names." She said coldly. Saihara thought about her request for a moment. If they told her their names, something bad could happen. If they didn't, they'd be frozen possibly until death. He figured the former would be the best option.
"I'm Shuichi Saihara. The girl holding a knife is Maki Harukawa and the red haired mage next to me is Himiko Yumeno." He told her. Saihara felt Harukawa's deadly glare on his back, but did his best to ignore it.
"You three aren't from here, are-?" Minerva tried to ask, but was interrupted by a purple light. After it dissipated, a woman stood in it's place. She was beautiful, with black hair, green eyes and dark, galactic clothes. The light surrounding Saihara and Yumeno vanished, allowing them to move once more. Minerva, Filius and Yumeno bowed to her. "Lady Hecate. To what do we owe this pleasure?" The older witch said.
"Hello Minerva and Filius. I came regarding these three special teenagers. You see, they are known as Ultimates. Saihara is the Ultimate Detective, Harukawa is the Ultimate Assassin and Yumeno is the Ultimate Mage. I do believe they would be useful against Voldemort, so I've come to the decision that they shall be enrolled in Hogwarts as fifth years along with another to assist you all. This decision is final and there shall not be any complaints. Questions?" Saihara stared at Hecate, but calmed down enough to ask a question.
"Who is the fourth person?" He asked her. Hecate looked at him and flicked her wrist. Pieces of metal flew out of Saihara's backpack and assembled into a familiar figure. They appeared to be a boy with sharp, white hair and an ahoge. His eyes were blue and he had black lines going down from them. Saihara's eyes widened as the rest of his body started to assemble. "Kiibo...?" He muttered. Kiibo looked at him once fully assembled and smiled.
"Hey, Saihara, Yumeno and Harukawa! You guys okay?" He asked them. Saihara teared up and ran towards his friend, hugging him. Kiibo hesitated at first but gradually began to hug back. Eventually, they broke the hug.
"Kiibo. You're like a brother to me. So don't you fucking dare pull a stunt like that again." He told the robot. Kiibo looked shocked for a moment, then smiled.
"Sorry, Saihara. It was just the only way to free us from that place. I know I worried you, but I will never self destruct again." He told his friend. Saihara nodded and the four teens looked back at Hecate for more instruction.
"I'm going to give the three of you magic, since Yumeno is already a witch. I will then shrink you all down to fifteen years olds, since I'm assuming you're around seventeen. After that, I will apparate you to a tavern in London, where Yumeno will take care of the rest." She told them. They all nodded as a green light surrounded them. Saihara could feel himself shrink an inch or so and a bit of weight leave his chest. Not much, though. The light dissipated and Saihara looked around. All four of them were shorter and their hair wasn't as long as before, except Kiibo's. Hecate then instructed the four of them to hold hands, Yumeno and Kiibo holding Hecate's, and she told them to get ready. Suddenly, Saihara felt a pain in his head and felt as though he was about to be sick. He looked up and saw they were in and alley just outside a building named The Leaky Cauldron. They went inside.
"Okay, I'll get a room. You three can just wait by the stairs, I guess..." Yumeno told her three companions tiredly. Saihara nodded and walked to the stairs behind him, Kiibo and Harukawa already there. He still couldn't believe it. Kiibo was back, and now the four of them were going to a magical school? It was just so unbelievably. He looked outside a window at the sky. What would Akamatsu, Ouma and Momota say if they were here?
"Saihara." He turned around to see Kiibo looking at him, pointing at the staircase. Harukawa and Yumeno were gone. "Yumeno got us a room. Come on." Saihara nodded again and followed him up the stairs. They had a big day tomorrow.
