Author's note: For this story, I've included some characters from an anime which will be revealed later and yes, the setting of this story is in the MGL Nanoha Strikers anime which we all love to watch so there will be fighting scenes, love scenes etc etc. There will be changes in the weapons, blah blah blah so sit back, drink your tea and enjoy this story.
The timeline of this story is the
start of the formation of Division Six. Please R and R as
usual, thanks.
" Watch out, Erio. They are on your tail." A girl with short, pink hair shouted loudly as she quickly chanted a spell which would boost the speed of the selected target by at least three times.
" Damm it, where's Subaru and Tea? Ahhhh!" The red-hair boy suddenly accelerated forward and managed to avoid the dilapidated building in time by twisting his body and his trusted partner, Strada, just before impact although it caused him to hurtle towards the ground, causing a loud crashing sound.
But due to Erio's agile turn, the five drone robots crashed into the building, causing the building to collapse and the five robots to explode in unison. Caro then quickly rushed towards where Erio crashed and gave a sigh of relief when Erio stood up unscathed although a little bit shaken.
" Are you alright, Erio? Sorry for that speed boost just now, i thought you needed it." Caro apologised and looked as though she was about to cry. Erio scratched his cheek and smiled at the cute girl in front with him and he patted her head, " Don't worry, Caro. If you have not use that spell on me, I think i will be dead by now. Now, let's look for Subara and Teana."
He brushed the dust off his barrier jacket and picked up his Strada which is lying on the floor after the crash but just before his finger could grab hold of Strada, numerous yellow light orbs flew towards the two of them at a very fast speed.
Before Caro could react, Erio flicked his spear up and disappeared and reappeared in an instant next to another old building with Caro in his arm. There was another loud explosion as the orbs exploded upon impact with the ground and Erio winced, knowing that they would have suffer that kind of impact if not for his " Sonic move".
" Caro, are you ok?" He let down Caro and shook her shoulder gently but she continued to be in a state of shock. Erio gave a sigh of frustration although he could not blame Caro for her current state as he would have being in the same state as her, just that he's more used to such attacks due to his surrogate mother cum sister.
" Damm it, now there's even more trouble." He muttered under his breath and just when he was about to stood up, a blond woman stood in front of him and a yellow-bladed black scythe was a mere inch away from his throat.
" Erio, you are dead. So are you, Caro. Let's end this training and review it, shall we?" Fate said with a kind smile and a screen appeared suddenly. " Yuuno, deactivate training field 0109 and teleport us back to where Nanoha and the rest of the forwards are."
" Alright, I'm on it." A male voice was heard from the screen and a wave of blue light washed over the three persons before they found themselves standing on a grass field, their usual training ground.
" Ah, there they are. Hey Fate, what kept you and the others so long?" Nanoha shouted to them while waving incessantly, drawing a smile from Fate. She and the Lightning squad members walked towards Nanoha, Vita and the Stars squad members and the four squad members ; Subaru, Teana, Erio and Caro sat on the field while their instructors took out the recording of their battles and showed it to them.
" Good work everyone, all of you manage to destroy the drone robots in an unknown area which is the main objective for this training and that all of you are able to adapt to the surrounding faster than I thought. The cohensions between the four of you in battle are good although Subaru might be a little bit hot-headed, especially when Teana was fighting with three drones." Nanoha paused for a while to give a smile at Subaru who gave an embarrassed laugh while Teana and Vita gave a disapproving look at her.
" The Stars squad manage to avoid all my attacks and even manage to land a few blows on me which is quite a good feat although the both of you let down your guard after that few hits on me, assuming that I have being beaten by you all and that's the reason why the both of you lose. Remember not to let down your guard unless you are very sure that your enemies are destroyed or else, the both of you will just lose your lives for nothing especially in the battlefield." Nanoha then glanced at Fate who nodded and turned to the Lightning squad members.
" For the both of you, you manage to dodge my attacks and in the process, use the surrounding to destroy the drones which is good. I'm impressed with the way Caro supports Erio although it's evident the both of you are not used to close-shave situations which will be very common when the both of you undertake missions in the future. Be ready in the future as I will try to expose the both of you to such situations, ok?"
" Yes, Ma'm." Erio and Caro stood up and saluted which Fate replied with the same salute. Vita then said, " Alright, it's time for you all to warm down. Run around the field for ten times then you are dismissed."
" Yes, Ma'm." The four members saluted then they proceeded to follow Vita's order.
"I say that they perform well today, dodging our attacks and the Stars squad manage to even hit your barrier which is very rare." Fate commented with a smile while Nanoha scatched her cheek and gave her trademark, " Nyahaha."
" I don't think so, seeing that they are too young to be thrown into the battlefield. Look at the Lightning squad, Caro is easily startled by such simple attacks while Subaru cares too much about her team-mates, even when she's in danger herself. Teana tends to solo enemies while for Erio, he's has the same problem as Subaru." Vita said with a strict tone which Fate and Nanoha chuckled, knowing that only when Vita was impressed then she started to use that tone.
" Vita chan, you are too strict and just as you say, they are very young. And beside, Fate and I are at Caro and Erio age when we start fighting so you can't use age as a factor."
" You and Fate are different from them. The both of you are those type of talented mages who only appeared in a hundred years. For them, they may be talented but they will easily die in a real battlefield." Vita retorted back albeit with a smile, although she tried to cover it by not looking at the both of them.
" That's why they are undergoing trainings, to unlock their potentials." Vita had no answer to Nanoha's reply so she just maintained silence.
Suddenly, a screen materialised and Yuuno's face was shown on the screen and he looked very anxious and worried.
" The three of you, come back to the headquarter right now. Hayate has called for an emergency meeting as we have encounter a problem." The tone of his voice was very grim and their relaxed posture and looks vanished instantly.
" Hayate calling for an emergency meeting? It must be something big. Should we call the four of them to follow us to the meeting?" Fate asked the other two officers and after thinking for a while,the both of them nodded and said, " Yes, they are part of the Sixth Division afterall."
" Oi, the four of you. End the runs and teleport back to the headquarter. No questions ask, do you hear me?" Vita shouted at the four of them then she and the two officers said in unison, " Bardiche, Raising heart, Graf Eisen. Activates teleportation system, location will be TSAB 6th Division Headquarter where Hayate Yagami resides."
" Yes sir, Alright master, Yes master."
Different waves of light surround the three of them and in an instant, they found themselves in the commanding room where Hayate and sometimes, Yuuno, would be in during missions.
A few seconds later, the four Forwards appeared beside them and they looked a bit shaken except for Caro who was used to such kind of magical effects.
The four of them looked around in awe as they had never enter this room before and Subaru whistled when she saw the various computers and machineries, each of them the latest in the market and some of them even more advanced, thanks to Yuuno who helped to modify them secretly.
" Wow, this room is amazing. Look at all those gadgets, Tea. What I wouldn't give to own one of them." Subaru said to Teana who gave a bored look; Tea was not a fan of machineries.
" They are still so lively as ever." Nanoha said with a fond look at her students while Fate nodded her head in agreement while Vita said, " It just mean that they have the energy for extra trainings. Remind me to alter the training programs afterwards."
Erio and Caro just looked around the room quietly and Caro unconciously held Erio's hand as she was not comfortable with machineries due to her upbringing in a tribe who co-existed with nature.
Erio gave a smile at Caro, " Don't worry Caro. They won't harm you." She smiled back but her hand remained where it was, around his hand and he squeezed her hand gently to reassure her.
" Alright, just where is that ferret and Hayate? This is supposed to be an emergency meeting right?" Vita complained while Nanoha and Fate also looked around for their friends.
The door slided open just after Vita completed her complain and Hayate and Yuuno walked into the room.
" Alright, 6th Division members. Welcome to the Command room, I think it will be the first time the four kids visit here, yes?" Yuuno said with a smile at the four Forwards who continued to keep their serious demeanour.
" It seems that the instructors have taught you all well there, too well it seems. Relax a bit and you all don't need to salute me as I'm just a civillian collabrator." He added as the four of them were in the midst of saluting him.
" Good afternoon everyone. Sorry to disrupt your trainings but I have something very important to show you all, or at least Yuuno has something to show the all of you." Hayate said to the seven of them who saluted and said in unison, " Yes, Ma'm."
" Yuuno, show them the video please." Yuuno nodded his head leaning his face against a machine, he pressed a button and said, " Video No. 100 uploaded, show on full screen size. Password is Hayate Yagami."
" Acknowledged, video system online." The machine replied and the seven Forwards then turned to the screen which was magnified such that it filled the entire command room.
It was recorded at night. A man in his barrier jacket was in the street, his device was on his hand and he was glaring at something in the dark.
" Reveal yourself, don't use the darkness to hide your cowardice." He shouted and something shifted.
" As you say, mage." The last word was spoke with such force that the audience and the mage in the video recoiled a little and the figure moved forward, allowing the streetlight to illuminate his body.
A tall man with a red jacket and a red skirt-like cloth covering a black skin-tight full-body clothes stood in front of the mage, bathing under the light of the lamps. His skin which was tanned contrast with his hair which was shockingly white with no hint of any colour and spiked up, rippled as he crossed his hand and gave an arrogant smirk at his opponent. His eyes seemed to be able to pierce through anybody foolish enough to stare at him and now, his gaze was upon the mage as though he was nothing but a bug he could easily stepped on.
" Well, are you happy that you can see me now?" The mage shook his head slightly to recover from the impact of the appearance of the figure and he pointed his device, a long sword with two red orbs surrounding it, at the figure.
" Not exactly. What business you have with me?" The figure continued to give the smirk then two blades, white and black with a shape of a crescent moon, formed in his hands.
" Nothing, just that I want the magical core in your body. I believe the people in your world call it " linken core" ?" He paused then continued. " So will you give it to me? Spare yourself the pain, that's my advise to you."
" Heh, like hell I'm giving it to you." The mage then shouted, " Rolken, catridge loaded. Activate sword mode."
Smoke blew out from the sword as the catridges shifted in the sword and it replied, " Yes, sir."
The two red orbs merged into the sword, forming a red aura around it and the mage sneered at the figure. " I shall let you have a taste of Rolken. Rolken, widen aura range to the maximum. Let the enemy feels the power of you."
The aura formed a bubble around the mage and the figure then the mage smiled to himself, confident that the figure will be screaming for mercy.
The figure instead gave a bored look and he scanned around the area around him with only red colour greeted his sight. " I take it that you don't want to give me then. Sigh, looks like I have to resort to force again."
Before the mage could utter any sound or use any spells, the figure suddenly appeared in front of the mage then he slashed both of his blades in a ' X ' fashion then wheeling his blades expertly, he stood back with a smile.
" What the...." That's what all the mage could say before slumping to the ground with blood seeping through the clothes from the wound. The figure then picked up the mage's device then he closed his eyes as though he was concentrating on something before throwing it to the ground and stepped on it, destroying the device.
" Well well, that's enough recording I say." The figure smiled at the video camera which was incidentally, latched onto a lamp.
The screen then turned black with a loud " hiss", then Yuuno said, " That's the end of the video. So any comments, everyone?"
Everybody was silent until Subaru uttered a word. " Wow!"
