Magical Girl Musical Nanoha StrikerS

I'll Make a Mage out of You!
(to the tune of "I'll make a man out of you" from Mulan)

Xx~~*~~xX

Day after day, the forwards trained under their harsh mistress of magic, the legendary Ace of aces, Nanoha. No matter how much they gave, Nanoha seemed to push them harder and harder.

"Aaaah, Subaru look out!" Erio cried as he dropped on her, sending them both tumbling in a mass of arms and legs.

"Four of the drones are getting away!" Caro cried.

"I'll get them!" Tea shouted, shooting her magic rope to swing ahead. One of the large type-3 drones stopped and extended it's AMF, causing the magic grappling rope to destabilize and vanish. "Waaaah!"

*Crash!*

"Teana!" Caro cried, not noticing another drone sneak up on her and fire... tagging her out.

Nanoha sighed as she descended. "What's the matter guys?"

"Nanoha, I think this setting is still a bit tough for us," Subaru admitted, extricating herself from Erio.

The Ace of aces trainer shook her head. "Our enemies won't be so easy, and neither will I!"

Erio looked right and left. "Um, where is that music coming from?"

Nanoha pointed her staff at them and began to sing:

Let's get down to business
To defeat the drones
If you can avoid my Buster,
I'll treat you all to cones!

*the forwards panic as Nanoha charges up and fires, toasting them all*

You're the saddest bunch
I ever met
But you can bet
Before we're through
Bet that I'll, make a mage
out of you!

*Tea sighs and collapses, while Subaru coughs up smoke; a montage of scenes follow*

Tranquil as a forest
But on fire within
Once you find your center
you are sure to win
*Erio stands firm, awaiting the approach of the targets, which proceed to swarm and blast him; Nanoha facepalms and sighs*

You're a spineless, pale
pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a mage
out of you

Subaru: I'm never gonna catch
my breath
Say good-bye to those
who knew me *her wing road destabilizes, sending her crashing into a building*

Caro: Boy, was I a fool in school
for cutting gym *she pants as she attempts to climb a a wall*

Teana: This guy's got 'em
scared to death
Hope she doesn't see
right through me

*Teana watches Erio chases the drones at top speed while hiding to avoid training. Nanoha sees her hiding, frowns, and charges a Divine Buster. Teana is launched toward the sea*

Teana: Now I really wish that I
knew how to swim!

Forwards:
(Be a mage)
We must be swift as
the coursing river *Subaru increases speed to chase down drones*
(Be a mage)
With all the force
of a great typhoon *Erio fires off a couple of vacuum slashes that miss*
(Be a mage)
With all the strength
of a raging fire *Teana charges up a shot and fires, managing to just clip a drone*
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon *Caro summons up chains that manage to snag a drone, but it gets loose*

Nanoha:
Time is racing toward us
till the drones arrive
Heed my training lesson
and you might survive!

*She engages the four in a mock fight, blasting them all with Axel Shooter orbs*

You're unsuited for
the rage of war
So pack up, go home
you're through
How could I make a mage
out of you?

Forwards:
(Be a mage)
We must be swift as
the coursing river *Subaru chases down a type-3 drone and smashes it*
(Be a mage)
With all the force
of a great typhoon *Erio blasts forward into the midst of a bunch of type-1's, using form two of Strada and swings around, destroying them all*
(Be a mage)
With all the strength
of a raging fire * Teana fires off several shots, taking down a couple type-3 drones*
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon *Caro snags several type-1s with chains and has Fried blast them*

(Be a mage)
We must be swift as
the Coursing river
(Be a mage)
With all the force
of a great typhoon
(Be a mage)
With all the strength
of a raging fire
Mysterious as the
dark side of the moon

The Forwards collapsed, sitting against each other, panting heavily.

"Nice job everyone, you're getting better!" Nanoha complimented. "You got all the drones from that last batch!" She pointed her staff at them and grinned evilly. "Now it's time for our mock battle!"

They all stare at her, clearly lacking any strength, falling onto their backs.

Author's Notes:

Had a video remind me of this song in Mulan, which then gave me a picture of Nanoha singing it with "mage" instead of "man" and well... Oh, and you can find it on youtube, just search for "I'll make a man out of you."
