Time Travelling Crocodile

Prologue

Sebek hissed in pain as he toppled over onto blue flames.

Silver pulled him back and checked him over, Sebek just stared blankly at the ceiling.

How did he end up in this situation again?

Ah, right.

Ace.

~~~

"Come on, it can't hurt to TRY!"

"It most certainly can!?"

"Literally how?"

"For starters, none of you have even read the book!"

"...aaand?"

"...AND the book has the proper pronunciation."

"...oookay, pssht, whatever. We can just...hope it works!! That's worked the past few times!"

"Why are you so frantic?"

"...this'll be a good present for Yuu."

"...hhh, we can give it a try, I suppose."

"YES! Okay, so we need-..."

Sebek had followed the instructions Ace told him.

Ah, right, Sebek is making the potion because Ace is collared, Deuce has flamingo duty, Jack wants no part in this, Epel has ballet lessons and Ortho doesnt have the magical capacity for what Ace is attempting.

Which is enchanting a mirror.

"So just say: 'I, your name, call upon thee, lend us a hand and grant us the path.' aaand it should work!"

"And if it doesn't?"

"Well...I'll be...back at square one, I guess..."

"..." Sebek let out a heavy sigh, and raised his magipen, "Stand back, Trappola."

"Yes, Sebek!" He moved out of the way, all the way to hide behind a desk.

"...I call upon thee, grant thy passage into-...ah, what was it again?"

"Grant us the path!"

"I call upon thee, grant us the path of-...that's not right either, is it?"

"Retry??"

"I, Sebek Zigvolt, call upon th-"

A miniature explosion happened, coming straight from Sebek's magipen. The crocodile jumped back, dropping the pen and shattering the magestone.

...

"...Trappola..."

"..Sebby..."

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU-!?"

"I DIDN'T KNOW IT WOULD EXPLODE!?"

"THIS IS WHY YOU READ!!!"

"YOU WERE SAYING THE SPELL WRONG!!!"

"WELL, YOU-"

The door slammed open, Crewel and some swan beastman were at the door.

"What was that noise?" The Professor demanded, Ace and Sebek looked at eachother in terror.

They would both be under dorm-arrest FOREVER (minus classes of course), BUT STILL!?

"We...uh"

"Practicing! A..a new spell!" Ace smiled widely, too widely, his nervousness was obvious.

The Professor raised his brows, "Can I see this spell." He didn't ask, instead, he demanded.

"U-uhm." Ace looked at Sebek in terror, the poor crocodile smiled nervously.
