06:00GST May 2nd 2261 AD
West City, Adachi, Heracles System
Dustine stirred in a king sized as sunlight hit her face. The tanned skinned brunette stirred a bit more in bed until someone knocked on the door. Dustine sat up then yawned as she called out to the person who was knockingon the door. "Come in."
The door clacked open and Fate Testarossa walked in with two cups of coffee. She walked over to the king sized bed and handed one of the cups to Dustine. "Morning! Here's your coffee Dustine."
"Thanks." Dustine took the cup of coffee and sipped it. She tossed the sheets off of her robed form, stood and leaned in for a kiss. Fate happily leaned in and they both shared a coffee flavored kiss. "Mmm. Nice."
"We've got a big day ahead of us," Fate noted then smiled as she patted her cheek. "So you'd better freshen up in the bathroom."
"Right. Invid carrier crash." Dustine sighed as she got up. "That should be fun."
"Now get washing. Breakfast is nearly done." Fate ordered
"Yes dear..." Dustine nodded and went to take a shower.
Fate went into the kitchen where Nanoha was cooking.
"Got the sleepyhead up?" Nanoha smiled
"Yes. She should be down shortly." Fate nodded.
"...and the other sleepy head?" Nanoha smiled.
"She is..." Fate trailed off.
"Morninnnnng!" A fourteen year old Vivio trotted into the kitchen. "Is Dustine mama up yet?"
"I just rousted her..." Fate nodded.
Vivio looked amused. "Oohh?"
"Not like THAT."
"Vivio don't ask dangerous questions." Nanoha said firmly then handed her some silver wear. "Now go set the table for us please."
"Yes Mommy," Vivio trotted off
"Kids grow up so fast." Fate noted.
"That and we forgot to put a adult lock on the home entertainment system after she moved in..." Nanoha sighed.
"That too." Fate nodded.
"Orange juice?" Vivio suggested as the came back for glasses
"Yes..." Nanoha nodded.
Vivio grabed the pitcher and carried that in. Nanoha carefully flipped the omelettes on the heating tray, as the bacon popped and sizzled. Some toast popped up from a nearby toaster. Fate dutifully picked it up and placed the toasted bread on some plates and made her way over to the kitchen table.
Dustine walked in wearing some bdu's and a grey tank top while toweling her hair dry.
"Nice..." Nanoha murmured .
Dustine grinned at the comment and reached out to grab a piece of toast. Nanoha frowned and swatted her hand away causing Dustine to pout. "Aww."
"No snacking. We eat together," Nanoha scolded
"Yeah," Dustine nodded being reminded of her rule.
Nanoha finished preparations and clapped her hands. "Okay. Breakfast is about to be served..."
"Nanoha would make a good dorm mom," Dustine noted to Fate as she walked past.
"Or ships mom..." Fate giggled.
"What are you two whispering about," Vivio teased as they sat.
"Nothing, sweetie," Dustine mussed her hair.
"Hey..." Vivio wiggled.
"Here we go," Nanoha carried over plates and set them in front of each person.
"It looks delicious" Fate smiled.
"Thanks," Nanoha finished dishing up and sat down.
"Thanks for the food!" they all chorused
"Vivio, CHEW. Just inhaling food will make you choke." Fate noted
"Aww. Yes Mom..."
Dustine giggled and nibbled on her toast.
"And Dustine. There are veggies there. Eat them."
"Do I HAVE to?"
"Yes." Nanoha said firmly.
"Awww," Dustine pouted but ate them anyway
Vivio giggled, even as she ate her own veggie
"Good girls." Nanoha smiled then glanced at Vivio. "Are you going to be training again today?'
"Simulators. They won't let us Cadets in the Mecha yet."
Vivio pouted.
"Soon soon..." Nanoha smiled then nodded. "Till then keep on training in the simulator. If you really need help maybe mama can help."
"I...don't think they need help that bad, dear," Dustine smiled contritely.
"Indeed," Fate agreed. "We don't want to traumatize them..."
"I wouldn't do THAT," Nanoha pouted.
"I still remember Tea after your private training session..." Fate added.
"Do you have your usual shifts?" Vivio asked as she polished off her food
"Actually we're meeting with some Stingray Security pilots." Nanoha explained.
"GENOMs Milarm then?" Vivio surmised.
"Correct!"
"Do I need to do dinner?" Vivio wondered
"We shouldn't be later, but will call just in case," Fate noted
"Got it..." Vivio nodded checked her watch then squeaked "I need to get going."
Vivio scarfed down her juice, then hurried to grab ger school bag.
"Don't forget your lunch!" Nanoha passed her the small bag
"Thanks mama!" Vivio smiled then waved as she trotted out the house. "By other mamas. Stay safe."
They waved a bit then sighed.
"Stay safe she says..." Dustine sighed.
"It should be a normal patrol with the General Galaxy Pilots." Fate reminded her.
"True," Dustine agreed, "Still..."
"Don't be a worry wart," Nanoha teased as they finished eating
"Lets get ready..." Fate nodded then poked dustine. "Go grab the rest of your uniform, dear."
"Check our devices for updates while I dress," Dustine noted as she hurried off to grab her uniform top.
08:30 GST Adachi Joint Naval Base.
The large sized base bustled with activity as Dustine and her squadron mates disembarked a pair of six wheeled ground vehicles. Infantrymen jogged down a track while Battroids and Personal Troopers patrolled the bases perimeter. A pair of VF-171 Nightmare Plus'took off from a long runway while maintance crews repaired a pair of mechs in a nearby hangar.
As Dustine walked over to her fighter, she ducked under one of its delta wings, around to look at the massive engines, then around to the cockpit. The long and sleek blue and white variable fighter gleamed in the sunlight as she rounded to the other side.
"Checking your baby over?" a mechanic teased
"Hush..." Dustine frowned as she ducked under the wing, avoiding the trio of medium range missiles on one pylon and a mini missile pod on the other.
"Not bad..." Dustine nodded as she checked the connection and grinned to see Nanoha and Fate walking up.
"Hey!" Fate waved
"Hey..." Dustine nodded.
"Ready?" Nanoha winked.
"Ready as I'll ever be." Dustine nodded.
Both Fate and Nanoha did their own pre flight checks. Fate smiled and gave her technician a thumbs up before boarding her black and gold fighter.
"I LOVE the pink," Dustine teased
"It's RED darn it..." Nanoha sighed as she climbed in.
Dustine chuckled and boarded her own fighter. Dustine climbed in, slipped into the EX-Gear seat and smiled as she put on her helmet. Her standard white and red flightsuit plugged into the air supply, even as the lightly armored suit interfaced with the plane systems.
"Scepter Leader to fighter control," she said, activating the radio
"Fighter control over. Go ahead Scepter Leader." The tactical officer replied as she sat in the tower.
"Requesting permission for my squadron to take off." Dustine replied
"Launch window in five minutes. Go to ramp 6 and then to runway 4." The tactical officer ordered.
"Roger that." Dustine nodded then spoke into her headset. "Alright squad you heard her. Spin your engines up and lets head out."
"Roger!" The squadron replied. As their fighters taxied over, Dustine listened as pilots checked in.
"Scepter two ready." Nanoha reported in as they taxied from ramp two to ramp six.
"Scepter Three ready." Teana Lanster reported in seriously.
Scepter Four here." Subaru Nakajima chimed in.
"Scepter Five and squadron first officer, ready," Fate reported in wryly.
Scepter six present," Signum Yagami replied cooly.
Scepter Seven ready," Vita Yagami replied.
Lastly Erio and Caro reported in as Scepter Eight and everyone was accounted for as soon as they arrived at runway four. Two by two they left the runway, they left the runway until all were in the air. They cruised a bit then banked right towards their first waypoint.
"Alright guys spread out and keep your eyes peeled." Dustine ordered.
"Yes ma'am," The others nodded
"When can we expect the Lambda Security corps squadron, ma'am?" Teana asked. "Will we meet them enroute."
"We should be meeting with them at the second waypoint," Dustine noted.
"Fair enough." The red brown haired woman replied.
They flew on, banking left at the next waypoint and cruised at a steady clip as they flew to the rendezvous point. When they arrived the squadron circled as they waited for the Lambda Squadron.
"They're late." Vita grumped.
"Indeed." Signum sighed.
"Maybe they hit a snag before taking off." Dustine sighed.
"I could check with the tower." Nanoha mused.
"I'm getting a hail over a secure channel." Fate noted.
"Or we could answer the hail." Dustine noted.
"Go ahead, Knight One," Dustine nodded. "Also what the hell took you?"
"Love you to Ageni." Priss sighed over the line "We had to deal with an issue in Adachi city just after take off."
"What sort of issue..." Fate asked.
"A group of renegade Zentradi. The ADP couldn't cope, so we went in," Linna note
"ADP Need better gear..." Dustine sighed.
"True..."
"Where are you guys?" Teana asked as she looked around
"Now on your six," Priss grinned as a Sextet of VF-27s uncloaked as they swung up behind them.
"Ah, it's the Lucys!" Nanoha grinned.
"LUCIFER, damn it." Linna grouched.
"Lucy is cuter." Nanoha giggled.
"Hrmmm." Linna growled.
"Linna take it easy." Priss sighed. "So, WHAT are we doing out here again?"
"You slept through the briefing again?" Nene rolled her eyes.
"Pretty much," Priss shrugged
"Two days ago a Invid squadron tried to test our defenses..." Nene reminded her. "There were some heavy losses on both sides but we're cleaning that up in orbit. During that skirmish an Invid carrier crashlanded in this area."
"So its a bug hunt." Priss noted.
"More like a slug hunt if you asked me." Nene snorted.
"Ladies if you please." Nanoha sighed. "Go ahead Dustine."
"Command wants us to capture it. We suspect it'll be heavily defended." Dustine noted.
"Ah so thats why you called in the Lambda corps...you guys need back up." Priss grinned.
"More or less." Dustine rolled her eyes. "So we find it, secure the location then call in a carrier of our own."
"Fair enough." nodded. "So what's the plan?"
"We've set up a grid search plan," Nanoha sent the data to the others, "we'll search the area in pairs."
"Look out for Invid fighters. They are about our size and their claws can rend armor." Dustine sighed.
"Good thing we brought our melee weapons with us." Priss grinned.
"Tea, once we find the carrier, you're on sniper duty." Nanoha noted.
"Yes ma'am," Teana nodded.
"Remember to check in regularly," Fate added as they moved out.
"Roger..." The group replied and broke off into pairs.
The two squadrons searched the area in pairs, sometimes cricling spots other times making passes over the trees as they searched for the Invid carrier. Soon Teana called in.
"I'm seeing what looks like a crash zone." Tea reported then read off the coordinates.
"We're on our way..." Dustine replied. "...if they spot you get out of sight."
"Got it..." Tea agreed and landed on a large rocky cliff
"Tea, can we go in closer?" Subaru asked eagerly
"NO. We're scouting."
"AWWWWW." Subaru pouted. The squadrons ecircled the area, most landing near by while a few circled the area up high.
"Looks like a carrier. There are Invid on the hull, attempting repairs," Dustine noted as her slender vf 31S battroid knelt among the trees
"Do you think they'll attack if we get too close?" Nene asked over the commlink.
"Probably. Use Subaru as bait?" Priss teased.
"That's mean, Asagiri senpai!" Subaru complained.
"Nanoha radio command that we found the Invid carrier." Dustine commanded.
"Roger," Nanoha nodded and radioed command, asking for reinforcements and telling them where the ship is. Nanoha listened for a brief moment then blinked. "They're sending an allied ship to our location. Its in the area on patrol too. It'll be here in 30 minutes or more."
"What sort of ship...?" Linna asked.
"A Thurvel Salan cruiser..." Nanoha replied.
"Allied Zentradi marines?" Sylvie guessed.
"Yep. Full compliment too."
"I feel sorry for the Invid." Sylvie sighed.
"What's our orders?"
"Keep a eye on the carrier. Do not engage unless necessary..."
"NO shit. I do not wanna die buried under crab-fighters..." Priss snorted.
"Command wants a count of Invid..." Nanoha noted.
"NOT me," Linna un-volunteered.
"All we need to do is sneak in, scan the ship and Invid, and sneak out." Fate shrugged
"How hard can it be?" Meg noted
"Don't SAY that. Jinx!" Lou made a face
"Sorry dear." Meg sighed.
"Hey Nene. Your mech has all the anti detection and ECM stuff, right?"
"Oh I HATE you." Nene frowned
"Well, it DOES." Linna grinned.
"Both of you go." Priss sighed.
"Hey..." Linna pouted.
"Not to interrupt but I can do a count from here too with my scope." Teana suggested.
"You can get most of it but what about the blind spots." Dustine noted.
"Visual scouting is good, but Nene's mech can do detailed spectroscopic scans, determining armor make up, ship composition..." Priss replied.
"So Linna and Nene go in. Tea, you keep watch, do a visual count as a back up. Also, if they signal for help, snipe to support them." Dustine replied.
"What's the signal?" Tea asked
"Us running from Invid hordes?" Linna noted wryly
"Linna," Dustine sighed
"Sorry..." Linna chuckled.
"Radio us if you can." Dustine replied.
30 minutes later, Linna and Nene's valkyrie's lept out a patch of trees then gerwalked towards their allies. A dozen Invid fighters flew after them through the trees, the branches bouncing harmlessly off their heavily armored shells. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA."
"What part of SNEAK did you fail to understand?" Linna yelled
"I tripped! It's not INTENTIONAL!" Nene bleated.
"Laying down cover fire," Tea calmly cut as she sniped from her position, taking out a few with her sniper rifle.
"Keep advancing! We'll stop them once you get in close range," Fate ordered
"Easy for you to saaaaay." Nene whined.
"Dropping chaff and smoke. Might confuse them at least," Linna noted, compartments in the back opening to release smoke bombs and metal foil. One lept out of the smoke and chaff causing Linna to curse as she whrilled around in gerwalk mode and blasted Invid fighter to bits with her heavy gunpod.
"Yes!" Linna cheered.
"Don't slow us down, Dummy!" Nene reminded her
"Eeep," Linna noted as the Invid gained on them a bit. She turned around and raced after Nene.
Nene and Linna raced onward, covering uneven dround.
"Is it me or are the Invid clumsier than usual?"
"Damage from the crashed ship? Who knows?" Nanoha shrugged.
"They're in range..." Teana replied then eeped as several invid fighters flew towards them. "Subaru!"
"On it..." Subaru nodded, jetted off towards the fighters with dual arm cannons at the ready. "Raaaaaaaaaaah."
"Open fire!" Fate added and the team opened up on the Invid. The squads unlimbered their gunpods and blazed away at the sky, causing the invid fighters to scatter. A few stood their ground yet was caught in the kill zone and ended up in pretty fireballs.
"They quit awfully easily..." Nanoha blinked.
"Oh thank god," Nenre groaned as she skidded to a stop.
"Nice shooting by the way..." Nanoha grinned.
"Thanks." Priss smirked then blinked as something big approached them on the radar. "Allied Zentradi ship is here. Wonder if the invid will bolt."
"UN SPACY Cruiser, this is field command. Update on mission?" Dustine radioed them
"We hear you. Field command. What's your status?" Hayate's face appeared in their comm windows.
"Hayate-chan!" Nanoha cheered
Dustine ignored that. "We kind of poked the Invid with a stick, actually."
"What did I tell you about not doing that?" Hayate teased
"To not do it?" Dustine sighed then whistled as the Thurval Salan cruiser and its escort ships slowly passed overhead. She found it amusing that Hayate was in command of such a organic looking ship.
"Yep." Hayate grinned then turned off camera. "Order the other ships to surround the invid carrier and prepare for combat."
"Should I send a surrender order?" The commtech asked.
"Do you think it'll work?" Hayate smiled sardonically.
"No, but we have to try..." The commtech shrugged.
"Point. Go ahead." Hayate nodded.
"Invid vessel, you are in UN SPACY territory. Surrender now." The commtech called out. Moments later, the down invid carriers secondary beam cannons fired at the Thurval Salan. The beams however, bounced off of the heavy cruisers shield. "I'll take that as a No."
"Thought as much." Hayate sighed then barked out an order. "Prepare for heavy combat!"
Back on the ground Nanoha's mech stared up at the battle with a gunpod in hand.
"Invid fighters are launching..." Nanoha noted as she watched serval dozen squadrons leave the downed carrier.
"Hayate's anti-aircraft guns can handle it." Fate noted.
"As well as her fighters..." Dustine noted as a mix of variable fighters, armored modules and variable battlepods launched from the crusier and its supporting ships.
"Should we help?" Nanoha asked.
"Eh. They got this." Linna shrugged.
"Incoming message from the ship..." Dustine noted
"Oh?" Nanoha blinked.
"They could use added point defense around the bridge." Dustine replied.
"Welp time to earn our pay," Priss shrugged.
"Indeed." Dustine nodded as she transformed and flew off into the sky. "Lets go people."
"Roger!" Nanoha and Fate followed after.
"Do we really have to?" Linna sighed as Teana and Subaru flew after them.
"Do you wanna go back to being a stock broker?" Priss teased as she lifted off after Dustine.
"Some days? YES." Linna sighed as she and the others lifted off too. They swept up as a group, but quickly had to scatter to avoid swarming Invid. The threat to their carrier had driven them berzerk. The fighters dodged left and right as they flew towards the battle group which was filling the air with anti air fire.
"Thank goodness our fighters send out a 'don't shot me' signal,' Nanoha thought
Dustine shot down a Invid, dodged another then reached her position in front of the angular bridge super structure which more or less stood out like a sore thumb on the organic looking ship.
The others swept in after her taking up positions around the superstructure. They laid down steady suppression fire, while Tea took up a sniper position on the hull.
Subaru lingered behind her keeping an eye out for her squadmate and friend.
"Well, this is fun," Nene complained.
"Suck it up."
Nene stuck her tongue out at Priss then squeaked as a invid fighter charged at her. Linna sighed, swept in and used her right arm shield's blade to cut the mech in two.
"Nice!"
"Pay attention to your job!"
"Meanie." Nene pouted.
The battle continued, with both squadrons putting up an impressive defense of the super structure.
"Running low on bullets. Re-loading!" Signum reported
"If you run out of clips remember to use your arm beam cannons." Dustine nodded.
"Like I needed a basic training reminder..."
Subaru, having forgot, didn't say anything...
"I think the Invid numbers are dropping," Fate noted
"Looks like our point defense is working..." Signum noted.
"We're not the only ones..." Dustine noted as she idly glanced at the destroid teams and beam turrets also putting down a hailstorm of cannon fire from the modified zentradi ships hull.
"Indeed." Nanoha nodded.
Fate dryly noted, "You like the guns."
"Well, yes," Nanoha admitted. "Design's awkward tho."
"Indeed." Fate chuckled.
The battle continued to rage but the invids numbers were quickly dropping., Some of the squads switched to lasers while others switched to combat knives once their bullets ran out. A few desperate invid tried to take out the ship but to no avail.
"Hey... the Invid are backing off," Subaru noted
"I see that..." Dustine nodded.
"I concur..." Teana nodded
"Not much left... looks like the survivors are retreating to their ship," Fate agreed
"Guess we can call that a win?" Linna shrugged.
"Probably..." Nene nodded.
"Well done, everyone," Hayate noted from the bridge. "Now we just need to secure the carrier for transport."
"Well thats going to be a bit messy..." Dustine noted then asked her friend. "Want us to stay?"
"We have some battle hardened marines here..." Hayate noted as a few waves of next generation battle pods and battlesuits descended towards the downed invid carrier. "We should be fine."
"I see." Dustine replied.
"Hey those are Type 104 and type 110 Officer Battlepods." Teana noted.
"Heavy artillery all right." Dustine nodded.
"Dustine, Lindy has asked for a meeting with the team commanders and staff. I assume to discuss what to do with this...," Hayate noted
"Understood. We'll head back to Adachi Joint Naval Base." Dustine nodded.
"I guess this is where we get going too." Linna suggested.
"Yeah." Priss nodded
"Priss, Lindy would like you to attend too," Hayate spoke up.
"Damn it." Priss sighed. "Lets go."
"All right, back to base," Dustine ordered and gerwalked away. "And Fate, no randomly going supersonic. We're near populated areas."
"Oh poop." Fate sighed as the rest of them followed after Dustine.
The squadrons returned to the sea side naval base an hour later. After landing, they taxied for a bit until they returned to their hangars for maintence and rearming.
"Good job, everyone," Dustine addressed the team. "Thanks for covering each other. Invid can be tough but we can be tougher as a unit."
"We did what was asked nothing more," Signum nodded, pink hair shining in the sun.
"All junior pilots, dismissed. Seniors, mission reports. Everyone els, plus Priss and Linna, we';re off to see the boss..." Dustine nodded.
"Yay." Subaru, Erio and Caro cheered.
"Tea? Come along, I think Lindy will want your feedback on the sniper rig." Nanoha suggested.
"Y-Yes ma'am," Teana nodded. The groups headed off to their respective destinations. The Junior pilots went to the barracks to change while the seniors, like Signum and Vita returned to their offices.
"Sure, stick ME with the paper work..." Vita sighed.
"Have fun!" Linna waved.
"Just remember, WE have to do it later for Sylia." Priss reminded her.
"Ugh. Right..." Linna sighed
The officers invovled in the capture of the Invid Carrier walked through the bases main building until they arrived at Lindy's office. It was a spacious office which was well lit, tastefully decorated and a view of the base. Lindy was staring out at the scenery stiring her tea as they approached her oak desk. Dustine looked to her friendswho nodded, then announced herself.
"Scepter unit, reporting!" Dustine saluted followed by Nanoha, Fate and Teana.
"Yo. Laughing Skulls unit reporting." Priss gestured to her jauntily.
"Welcome home," Lindy turned and smiled at her subbordinates as well as her guests from Laughing Skull Squad. "Please have a seat."
"Thank you. Its good to be back." Dustine nodded as they sat in front of her.
"Good work, all. You handled things well," Lindy told them
"Yes ma'am," Dustine, Nanoha and Fate nodded.
"So what happens to the Carrier?" Teana asked.
"Well Precia wants to do a brief inspection to see if they've developed any new tech." Lindy explained.
"Then we destroy it, right? Priss asked eagerly
"No, then we haul it to Invid space and drop it over the border."
"WHAT." Priss gaped.
"Ironically the Invid will probably blow it up for us...they consider it contaminated." Lindy shrugged.
"Why..." Tea asked, confused.
"We can't really keep it. Invid biology spreads aggressively, could take over a city wide area pretty quickly." Lindy explained.
"Well, that's true..." Fate conceded
"So the Zentradi force will do the escorting, supervised by Hayate?" Dustine clarified
"Yes allied Zentradi and human ships will escort the ship away from the system," Lindy nodded then provided as an image of several battlepods patroling the crash site. "In the mean time the ground troops will sweep the crash site. Brigadier General Vegeta Wilhem's troops are in route too. Just in case."
"Must be serious for Vegeta to come out." Dustine noted.
"Well he doesn't want them to contaminate this world either." Lindy shrugged.
"I see..." Dustine nodded then frowned. "When do they leave?"
"In two weeks." Lindy noted then smiled. "Your next assignment is to protect Hayate's ship and their compliment and get back home safely."
"Welp back into the fire with the Invid again," Dustine shrugged. "Will we be assigned to Hayate's ship."
"No...you'll be assigned to the SDF/C 60 Kaguya." Lindy provided. "The Kaguya and its combat squad will be escorting Hayate's squad to Invid border."
"Isn't the SDF/C 121 a Macross Elysion class?" Linna asked.
"Yes." Lindy nodded.
"Will you be needing additonal support from Stingray Security?" Priss asked.
"Actually Sylia requested for the Laughing Skulls to join Ageni's squadron on this mission, Commander Asagiri," Lindy smiled wryly at her.
"We'll have to have someone look after Vivio." Dustine hummed.
"Either Chi Chi or Bulma can look after her while we're gone." Nanoha smiled.
"True." Dustine nodded. Dustine looked at Nanoha and Fate, both of whom nodded.
"We'll go," Dustine said.
"We're in," Priss, Linna and Nene nodded.
"Very good." Lindy smiled at the group. "Lets meet back in a week to so you can meet the captain and go over the mission in detail. Understand?"
"Yes ma'am." The women nodded.
"Your dismissed!" Lindy nodded.
With that, they all headed off
That night
"Vivio we have something to tell you..." Dustine, Nanoha and Fate smiled at an unsuspecting Vivio at the dinner table.
"Oh?" Vivio blinked knowing something was up. "What?"
"We're going on a short trip in about two weeks." Nanoha smiled.
"Is it a family trip or UN SPACY business." Vivio asked wryly.
"UN SPACY." Dustine nodded. "We should be back in no time. We'll have either the Wilhelms or the Sons look after you for the time being."
"Oh." Vivio nodded.
"In other news we have some leave time this week." Nanoha smiled.
"Lucky you." Vivio pouted then sighed. "I still have school."
"Actually I phoned the school before we left work," Dustine smiled at Vivio. "They said that its okay if you have some personal leave off so long as you study and train during your vacation time."
"Thats not really much of a vacation." Vivio sighed.
"Instructor Piccolo's and my orders." Nanoha grinned.
Vivio eeped.
"Do you agree?" Nanoha smiled a bit too cheerfully.
"Yes mom," Vivio sighed.
'Nanoha can be scary some times.' Dustine and Fate thought inwardly.
To Be Continued.
