Existence Weighed Against Nonbeing
^How the hell does Ako manage to uh....power up three people in the space of like 2 seconds. And that's probably the worst way of getting a power-up ever.

^^“In the butt?”
“The butt!”
“KYAA, NOOO~!”
LOOOOOOL.
Wait a second... I though Koyomi wasn't supposed to be wearing panties? Yet she clearly has them when she gets shot by Yuna. Or was it Tamaki? Of course, it could simply mean that she decided to put dignity over comfort for such an important battle.
^ Tamaki's that one who doesn't wear panties, yeah.
Alright, so it's a moot point now that she's turned into a dragon.
For next chapter, I foresee Negi, Nodoka, Chisame and Akira being confronted by Poyo's summoner before reaching Fate. Or maybe it's Kotaro's group that will face him, while Negi's goes straight to the Big Bad. What do you think?
I believe Kotaro's group in going to run into him. Judging from how things are going, I don't think any of the high level fighters are going to go up against more than one of the enemy top tier, and Negi's pretty much guaranteed to fight Fate. Don't know what Shirabe's going to do, though. She could either back up the mystery mage or go and attack the group back at the ships.
Leader of the Holey Brotherhood
Interesting. Dynamis/Dunamis isn't completely spitting on Negi's idea the way the other's are. In fact, I get the feeling he might believe them, but he want's Negi to prove he has the strength to bring his solution about. In fact, he may want all of Negi's party to prove they are strong enough to make a difference. This may be the real reason for his forcing the other girls into the open in the previous chapter. Pride seems to be a big thing with both Fate and his Minions Koyomi (She the cat-girl right) seems pretty stuck on how Negi's party are just a bunch of laid back High-school girls right? Obviously they can't have any real strength in her mind, not compared to what she had endured. So her anger at being beaten by them makes sense.
What's going to happen to Shiori/Luna? She's now actively fighting against her former allies. Was this something they all expected could happen, or are they going to assume Negi brainwashed her? Or maybe just call her a traitor and kill her outright (or at least try).
One Strip! One Strip!
Yeah, that's a big part of it. Dynamis says outright to Negi that Kosmo Entelekheia has their pride to consider in the matter.
EDIT: Oh god, I just found Vetus' amateur translation and mine is shamed in comparison.

@Handsome Rob: My bet is that Fate will crush her pactio card.

Tsukoyomi's gone right past creepy and into nightmarish. Setsuna's in trouble.
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Are we going to find out what Yue's group is doing anytime soon?

^^^ Didn't we just get an update on them in the last chapter?

I completely forgot what they were doing though...

Break weeks can do that to you, one will get used with repeated actions ,and repeated archive binges with nothing else to do.......
anyway the last thing we know is that during en route to where Anya (and they assume, Asuna) is being held. they run into Fate and, with Natsumi's artifact, Kotaro tries to take Fate out but couldn't. Saying that Fate is out of his league and ask how is Negi is going to fight him.

Don't forget that we don't know for sure if Kotaro really had a flash of premonition that stopped him, or if Fate used Code of the Lifemaker to reset everything back, thus giving the illusion that it was a flash of premonition. (I mentioned this as a longer 
several pages back.)

^ going to lean on it is Kotaro's flash of premonition. Note the black background used for dreams and flashbacks.

Ako's artifact is Sick and Wrong on so many levels.
"Wait, where are you going?! It doesn't hurt"
Also, @Handsome Rob: Yeah, that is interesting. So Dynamis is less "You're plan will never work!" and more "If you think you are right, then prove it to me." Kinda nice, actually.

Is that seriously how Ako's artifact works?... I have to say I'm pretty disappointed.
Why's that, Arha? Sure, it's not very spectacular, but in certain situations (read as: facing six of Kosmo Entelekheia's pretty-damn-higher-ups), this chapter just proved that it's indispensable.
It's been fun.
Deleted post. (yeah, I messed up)

Consider that Ako thinks of herself as a secondary character compared to the others... An artifact for buffing allies seems very adequate. And it made the fight even more similar to an RPG, so it's all good to me! 
^^Wow, I never noticed that before.
I was probably distracted by the other aspects of that image.
