THE HARUNO Chronicles
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Before you start to read this story, just a few things. This is my first story. It is a story based off of many anime I have seen but for the most part and including some characters of character names, is based one the Magical Girl, Lyrical Nanoha story. I did invent some story elements myself and I find it to all fit nicely. I DO URGE YOU THOUGH if you want to give up on the story please do it justice and read to chapter 4 and hopefully chapter 5. You really can't tell what type of story this is if you don't because before that, it just seams like a weird version of MGLN. But if you are the impatient type, you could skip to chapter three though you will miss some story elements that you will find later in the store so I suggest reading the first two chapters first if you want a real feel of the story. Also, I did edit it a bit but the first 5 chapters will be a bit choppy, but after that, the writing becomes better.

CHAPTER 1 – The Start of a Courageous Journey
Maral, a planet full of ruins of many ancient magical civilizations. The inhabitants of this planet sacred duty are to recover and preserve the ruins of these lost civilizations. The inhabitants are good with excavating through their magic, especially a young boy named Lance. He was 14, had brown hair and brown eyes. One day as he was helping his father look around an already discovered ruin for anything unchecked, he found a weird box like handle on a statue of the god Plarem. He showed his father who was impressed with the find. His father told him to step back in case of it being trapped. Lance did so and his father turned the knob in. As he did, a door opened above the statue and a ladder fell down.
His father climbed up and looked around for a second, then told Lance it appeared safe and he could come up. He climbed up the ladder and looks around. He saw his father touch a box. As he lifted the box up it began to glow with a green light. The box was labeled "The Saren stones." His father dropped the box and as it fell, White stones labeled in numbers 1 to 26 fell out. They formed a ring and started to float up, and then vanished after a bright blast of light and then everything went dark.
Lance woke up hours later when it was dark out and looked for his father. He found him a few feet away but he felt cold. Shock flowed over Lance as he realized what the Saren stones had done. They had sucked out his father's life in one fail swoop. "NO" lance said at the top of his voice and he started to cry. His father in his last moments of life wrote a note that lance found on his chest.
It was written in magic as Lance's keen eyes could easily notice. He knew the only way he would be able to read it was to get to his dad's secret office and read it under his lamp, which could reveal hidden messages. The only problem was that his dad was the only one who knew where the offices secret entrance was. Lance had been in there before but he was teleported in by his dad as to not reveal the location to any wandering eyes.
He went home and tried to think of where his dad would put the entrance. His dad had told him there was just one entrance for emergency use only. "Where would my father put a secret entrance to his office" he thought to himself. It was tricky to figure out where to look first because the entrance could be anything. He searched the whole house, top to bottom but could find no secret entrance.
He went into the family room where there was a picture of his mom, dad and him as a baby. It was huge. His father use to come in and look at the masterpiece when he needed to think. Looking at it calmed him. Lances mother had died in an airport fire 5 years ago. He looked at it hoping to get the same comfort as his father had when he looked at it. He without knowing just walked over to the painting and touched his mom's hand. He was then sucked through the painting and landed in a dark room. He used some magic to create a light orb. He saw a desk and a lamp along with a bunch of filing cabinets. He could not believe it. He had found his dads office.
He rushed over to the desk and put the note from his dad in under the light. He saw the letters form on the paper and started to read. It said,
"Dear son, if you are reading this, it means that I am dead. Do not worry, as there is more pressing matters to attend to. The Saren stones are powerful relics of a lost magical world destroyed in an inter-dimensional catastrophe. They can grant anyone's wish but if they release too much power at once, they start to go out of control and turn into pure evil. You must reseal them and return them to their rightful place. Take Nanoha with you. She will be a lot of help. You know how powerful she can be. Best of luck to you.
Sorry about Dying on you
Dad"
Lance was shocked for a second after hearing about the Saren stones power. Then a thought came to him "what if he got one and have his wish to revive his parents granted by it." This idea left as soon as it came into his head. If you knew about magic, you knew two things. First is that it is impossible to bring back the dead and the second was that using a magical item that had more power than the user was dangerous and even fatal and if nothing did happen to you, the powerful magic usually didn't work due to the lack of control the user had over it.
He woke up next morning hoping it was just a dream but as he walked around the house, no one was there and he knew his father never left the house until Lance woke up. He made himself breakfast quietly and afterwards and then went back to his dad's office to ponder over the message. He wasn't sure what to do. On the one hand, he had never left his own world before. But on the other hand his father had asked him to go which meant that he had complete faith in his son to go and reseal the Saren stones. He decided after had thought that he was going to fulfill his father's last wish and get the Saren stones back.
He also took his dads advice to take Nanoha along with him. He was right, she would be a load of help with this mission. She was a good friend of his; she was a nice, happy person who enjoyed life to the fullest. He went to her house after lunch to ask her of this big favor. He knew she would say yes. She said when they were 9 that if he ever went on an adventure that he were to take her along with him. He arrived at her house, which was right next door. He knocked on the door and Nanoha answered. "Hi, how are you," she said in her cheery voice as usual but then noticed that something was wrong. She hastily invited him into the living room and told him to sit on the couch. She then sat next to him and said "Okay, I can sense something is horribly wrong so are you going to tell me or what." He thought about it for a second but then realized she would need to know if she was coming along. He started to tell her everything from the second that he and his father entered the ruins. By the end she was in tears. She sobbed, "so your father is gone for good and now you have to get the Saren stones back." "Yes and I was hoping-" he was cut off by Nanoha now back to normal " say no more. I don't care what you say, I going along with you. It could be dangerous and you're not much of a fighter. You know you need my strength so that's that." He knew she was right so he said that he had tracked down the Saren stones. "Where to" Nanoha said expectantly. "Well to a world classified as Non-Magic world 96. Its name is Earth. That is where I have traced the Saren stones to.
They got up early the next morning, all packed and everything and met at Lance's house. After they said their goodbyes, it was time to go so Nanoha got her device out. A device is a magical weapon that a mage uses to cast their magic more powerfully then it would be without them. It also negates the need for an incantation in most cases as well.
Nanoha's was a unique device she named RAGING HEART and it looked like a red marble. All custom devices had an intelligence of their own so a mage easily bonded with their devices after awhile. "RAGING HEART, SET UP," said Nanoha and t RAGING HEART activated. It magically reappeared as her trusty staff, a pink and white weapon with a gold head that looked like a G and in the middle of that head was the red marble RAGING HEART. Nanoha was also in her Barrier Jacket which consisted of a white dress with blue stripes going up the sides and matching shoes with a white and blue top finished off with a red bow in the middle and white hair ribbons. Lance did not use devices, as he was not a good fighter. He could fight a little but his main power was in defensive, healing, teleportation and transformation magic. He was extremely adept at changing into a ferret. It was his favorite thing to turn into.
As Nanoha was not good with teleportation Magic, Lance was getting the spell ready. He started to say Earths teleportation code "0845-9343-3443-5456-1324-8723-3678-1003-0698-5603" A green magic circle appeared under them with Lance in the middle (a magic circle always appears under a person when they use most magic.) Then as soon as it appeared the magic circle vanished along with Lance and Nanoha.
