CHAPTER 2: Beginnings

…Asura ship of TSAB…

On the bridge at the Asura ship of the Time-Space Administration Bureau, there, a short haired brunette who was typing on the keyboard. She was doing fairly quicker than no ordinary user could do. It was her typical day at the Asura, to type, process information and data, and type some more.

But this day is no ordinary day…

While seemingly possessed with the computer, her rhythm on typing was disrupted by the sound of the blaring alarm. Amy shot from her seat, grabbed the reciever and quickly alerted all the staff members.

The first one to arrive was a green hair woman with her green eyes still longing for rest and sleep, who wouldn't? Its 4 in the morning! Nevertheless, work is work; and a leader must properly do his/her job well.

Admiral Lindy (A/N: see below) awoke early in the morning with the sound of the annoying alarm to interrupt her dreams about Japanese sword fights and tea ceremonies. She groggily sat on the sides of her bed and stretched her stiff body. She then stood up and hastily dressed her proper attire. Once ready, she made her way to the ridge where the alarm came from.

When she entered, she smiled warmly when she saw all her staff awake and ready, even though some were still yawning and stretching on their seats. She then proceeded to her chair and sat quietly. She turned to face them and greet them a warm "Good morning!" the staff members greeted her back, while some yawned her in reply. She turned to face Amy, who was holding a tray that served her tea, cream and sugar. She then prepared her tea, placing cream and sugar to her Japanese tea, and took it from the tray.

"So, Amy, what was the alarm for?" Admiral Lindy asked before she took as sip from her tea. Eyeing the monitor, she almost choked at her drink on what she saw… "Yes, its true Admiral Lindy, it's a large scale time-and-dimensional wormhole, that opened at the Distorted Dimension-" Amy started but was cut off with the Admiral asking, "But how? The only resident there is Precia Testarossa, surely she has no magic that could create that…"

Amy Limietta sighed, "That's what's bothering me, it didn't come from her… I traced it from an unknown being… And look what it also did…" Amy gave a piece of paper to Lindy.

The Admiral thoroughly read the piece of paper… When she finished, she looked at Amy with widen eyes. "It can't be… How did he do that? For that matter, why does it still exist?"

The staff didn't know what she was talking about, and one blurted out, "What Admiral? What did it do?"

Lindy worriedly looked at her staff. "It used a Celestial Incantation…" she stated

A person from the staff asked, "So, It's legal, right? We've done it many times and some mages even do it in public-" he didn't even get to finished when Amy cut in.

"The Incantation this being used was a soul-reaping incantation… This being summoned, no tore, a soul from its resting place to the physical dimension… In short it brought life to a dead being-" Amy was close to finishing her sentence, but the alarm was activated, turning the light of the bridge to turn red.

Admiral Lindy gripped her seat's arm and said, "Soul-reaping is strictly forbidden for it distorts a dimension and creates a large scale dimensional portal: used by some souls to move from their resting place… It also causes a great imbalance in the cosmic nature which leads us to the creation of black holes and sometimes even, time-warps. And it is now our job to fix it…" She turned her gaze to Amy and said, "Amy, contact Miss Takamachi, Testarossa, and Yagami… And also please alert Mr. Haraoun and Scrya…" she turned to her staff, "Everyone, I need your full cooperation for this… Next destination… Earth!"

…Earth, year 2006…

The sun was slowly rising, forming streaks of pink, orange and yellow to the once dark blue night sky. Takamachi Nanoha stood, eyes closed and her brown hair tied to her normal style wearing her usual outfit, in the middle of her backyard's house.

She then opened her eyes and looked at a red bead like-marble, Raging Heart Excelion, lying on a bench, cushioned by a handkerchief. "Raging Heart, are you ready?" Nanoha asked with sheer determination.

Raging Heart glowed in a pink colour and replied, "Ready, my Master…" in a female robotic voice; flat and emotionless.

The soon-to-be fourth grader smiled sweetly, she then picked up five bottle cans, and threw them one by one in the air as high and as fast as she could. With the last bottle hanging in mid air, she closed her eyes, raised a finger in the air and concentrated.

A dozen pink orbs of light, no bigger than a baseball, slowly materialized into the air. Once it fully materialized; with her eyes closed, she quickly opened them and exclaimed, "Shoot!" and by command, the orbs hurled forward with an intense speed, colliding with the bottle cans in mid air.

"10… 29… 35… 56… 97… 102… 130…" counted by Raging Heart Excelion as the photon bullets collided with the cans.

The orbs were picking up speed, hitting the cans with such speed, accompanied by Nanoha's precision and accuracy that the cans, instead of moving downward, it was moving upward… "192… 205… 230… 275… 300" said Raging Heart Excelion.

Nanoha wasn't even showing any sigh of exhaustion. As the balls were crisscrossing the cans, Nanoha shouted, "A little faster now, Raging Heart!" and shifted her gaze on the cans.

"Yes. My Master..." Raging Heart Excelion said as she glowed. And as command, the bullets hastily got faster… to a point that it looked like shooting stars leaving a short, pink as it moved.

"450… 500… 675… 708… 799… 801… 823… 875… 900" at this point, Nanoha's photon billets were losing speed and were uniformly slowing down. But she didn't want to give up yet, "Raging Heart, Onegai?" she shouted with a pleading yet determined tone.

Raging Heart glowed into a dark pink color, "Alright! My Master..." and on suit Nanoha let out a melee yell.

"930… 940… 956… 980… 999… 1111…" Raging Heart Excelion exclaimed at the end. Nanoha pointed the thrash can. And by orders, the orb hit each can towards the thrash can. Each one was thrown and aimed properly until applauses from the background surprised her, made her lose concentration and made her miss the last bottle can, landing a few feet away from the thrash can.

She turned around and readied her battle stance, but immediately softened her face. She then lowered her fists and stood upright. She then walked to the place where the can that she missed on throwing and properly placed it at the thrash can. She turned to face the people that gave her praise, showing a sweet and childish smile plastered on her face as she turned to face them, "'Morning father!" she greeted and hopped to her father and then gave him a father-daughter hug.

Mr. Takamachi hugged her daughter back that made her giggle, "Morning to you too!" her father replied when they let go, Nanoha felt a hard slap at her back when she was talking to her father.

She turned to see who did it, but before she could, she was 'suffocated' by a bone-crushing hug. "Wow! You really did well! That was totally awesome!" Her sister said, her long brown hair disrupting her view and her glasses reflecting the early sunshine on her eyes, partially blinding her.

"Yeah, Nanoha! You should do it all the time in the morning so that we can all exercise as a family," said Nanoha's brother with a huge grin on his face.

"Oni-san, onee-chan, otou-san, stop it, I can't breathe!" said Nanoha, faking her gasp for air, with her 18-year old sister, Miyuki Takamachi hugging her.

"Geez, sis, you can do 'that' but you can't even take a bone-crushing hug? Wow!" her sister said, ruffling Nanoha's hair.

"Hey!" replied Nanoha as she chased Miyuki around her 20-year old brother, Kyoya Takamachi. Both girls were squealing and were having fun, but her annoyed brother was shaking her head and cupped a portion of his face with a hand, secretly trying to hide his chuckles under his hand.

With a melee scream, Kyoya grabbed an arm both his sisters and pulled them on the ground where they laughed with joy and happiness.

Shiro Takamachi was smirking as he watched his children play and laugh under the early morning. "It's good to see them together… I really missed this… Don't you?" Momoko Takamachi asked at her husband's back, tip toed and whispering on his ear.

This made him grin, "Yeah… It's really good to see all of them." He turned around and captured his wife in a warm, loving embrace, which made her giggle in amazement. They both turned to face their children who turned quiet.

The children were grinningly watching their parents cuddle. "Mom! Dad! It's too early for 'that'!" said Miyuki, crossing her arms and tried to put a pout in her face that only turned to a smirk. "Yeah! I mean Nanoha is in front of you…" agreed by Kyoya putting his hands in his pant's pockets and severely trying to be angry.

"What are you guys talking about?" asked Nanoha in an innocent voice.

Their parents blushed but kept their composure upright. "Nothing dear!" said their mother, vigorously shacking her head and waving her hands to suppress a blush. Their father however remained silent, but kept a neutral face.

"Uh-oh," Miyuki said as she took a glance at her father, "Psst… We're gonna be in trouble, oni-san…" whispered Miyuki as she tried to hide their conversation.

"You're right… Wait… I'll think of something…" whispered Kyoya back to her sister, "Uhh…" he looked at his surroundings, which settled to Nanoha. "Nanoha!" Nanoha looked to his direction, "That was great! How did you do it?" he asked.

Miyuki got on cue, "Yeah, sis, how did you do that?" she secretly took a glance at her father. He was no longer neutral but was attentively listening to Nanoha. Se inwardly sighed in relief.

Then her mother said, "Why don't we eat breakfast and continue to listen at Nanoha's stories…"

Miyuki and Kyoya both hastily agreed, earning a pout from Nanoha.

They ate their breakfast and listened to Nanoha's adventures, when they finished they cleaned and went to their daily activities.

Nanoha was fixing her room, two months of summer vacation is just too short to live, and now, she's preparing for her first day of classes, which is in two weeks.

Raging Heart Excelion was lying on her desk, cushioned by a neatly folded handkerchief.

"Master, message from TSAB…" she said as she glowed.

Nanoha shot straight from her cleaning and hurried to her communicator. In her communicator screen, Admiral Lindy was waiting for her. "Lindy-san, is everything alright?"

Lindy smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid not, Nanoha, Precia Testarossa is currently missing in the Distorted Dimension…"

Nanoha sat dumbfounded as she absorbed the information. Moments later, she shook her head in frustration for she couldn't believe that she has the power to transport. "But, how-" she didn't finish with Admiral Lindy cutting in, "I'll explain in the ship… Takamachi Nanoha as a mage under my division, I am giving orders that you are to be transported to Asura ASAP… I have prepared for your arrival in 2 hours, same time, same place…"

Nanoha nodded in agreement that made the Admiral to smile and said, "Admiral Lindy, signing off…" and then communicator automatically turned off.

…Asura…

Nanoha arrived at the ship precisely after 2 hours… She bid farewell to her family and went to the ship.

There, she was greeted with all her friends… There, a blond Fate Testarossa and dark-haired Chrono Haraoun were standing by the wall near the deck; Vita, Signum, Shamal and Zafira or the Wolkenritter Knights were grouped together excluding Hayate Yagami, who had just arrived with Yuno Scrya, her ferret-turning friend, alongside Arf, Fate's Familiar…

She wasn't expecting this emergency to be this serious, but nevertheless, waited for the Admiral to arrive.

Yuno and Hayate walked to her… "Hey guys!" Nanoha squealed. Yuno looked embarrassed at her action but Hayate did the same thing, squealing like there was no tomorrow… Fate and Chrono also noticed her and hastily walked towards them…

"Hiya! How are guys you doing?" Nanoha asked to all of them. Everyone replied an "It's been great!" or a revised version. But Nanoha noticed Fate's unusual silence…

She went to her, and asked, "You ok?" Fate replied with a nod and a bitter smile. Nanoha shook her head, "So, what do you know about the mission?" Nanoha said. Fate softly and shakily replied, "I-It's about my m-m-mother…"

Nanoha was about to say something when Admiral entered the door, with the door hissing open

"I'm glad everyone can make it," she looked at everyone in the room then continue, "I'll cut to the chase, Precia Testarossa has gone missing in the Distorted Dimension," everyone who knew her was shocked, but to everyone who didn't asked, "Admiral, who's she and is their a relationship between her and Fate?"

The Admiral replied, "Precia Testarossa is the 'mother' of Fate… by 'mother' meaning, creator." She emphasized the word mother.

Everyone eyed Fate but just shrugged, hiding her emotions. Nanoha and Arf weren't fooled… They made a mental note to talk to her later…

Admiral Lindy continued, "Precia Testarossa is armed and dangerous… but didn't vanish by herself, Alicia Testarossa's capsule, or the original of Fate, was found wrecked, but there were no signs of her. And a third party was detected at the same time and place during there vanishing act… Note that they also made a soul-reaping Incantation plus they managed to create a time and dimensional wormhole, at an imbalanced surrounding like that, they properly managed doing it. That is also the reason why there is a large scale dimensional portal in the Distorted Dimension. Mages and Knights, as the Admiral of the TSAB, I am giving you orders to bring back Precia Testarossa and Alicia Testarossa."

Arf scoffed, "Why can't we leave her like that, I mean, aren't we supposed to execute her?"

"Yes, that's true… but Dimension as well as Time transportation affects the Cosmic Balance, which can lead to the disruption and changing of time flow and destruction of the universe… We cannot afford to let her rewrite history… For as we know, she might already be changing it." Amy replied at her station.

Lindy nodded in agreement, "So, I am ordering you to prepare for the mission within 1 hour… No one is strictly allowed to leave within that time." She looked at everyone, "To all of you, come back in one piece, Ok?"

They determingly nodded in agreement. They bid farewell and left the room one-by-one.

Once Nanoha left the room, she waited for Fate to enter the hallway, and when she saw her walk out from the room along with her Familiar Arf. Fate was rather a bit anxious to be gone and Nanoha saw this. She unconsciously walked to her.

She only knew where she was going when she reached Fate and Arf, "Hey…" was all Nanoha could say.

"Hey…" came Fate's reply as a lock of her golden yellow hair flopped down and covered her eye. She quickly placed it back and said, "My mom's… My mom is… Alive…" Fate continued. Nanoha turned to Arf but Arf just shrugged and patted Fate's back, and a second later, Nanoha was doing the same.

"Th-than-ks g-guy's…" Fate shakily said as small tears ran down her face.

"You're welcome…" They both replied. "Why don't we get ready?" Nanoha suggested.

"Yeah, why don't we do that?" agreed by Arf.

"Sure…" said Fate.

They went to get prepared.

…One Hour Later…

The assembled at the transport room and waited patiently, well, most of them…

"What the hell's taking her?" complained Vita, her red locks swaying with her pout.

"Yeah… Honestly, if the Admiral doesn't come, then I'll-" Arf agreed but didn't finish her statement for Lindy entered the room.

"Then you'll what?" Lindy asked. "Oh nothing…" Arf said, putting her hand behind her back.

"Probably something 'deadly'…" Zafira said. He looked at Arf but quickly changed his gaze and whistled, for she was angrily glaring at him.

Lindy shrugged the idea. She then cleared her throat to make them notice her presence.

Everyone looked. "I assume everyone's here; then I'll be explaining the mission…" the Admiral started… "You mission is to retrieve Precia Testarossa, know Alicia Testarossa's whereabouts and possibly retrieve her if she is with Precia…"

Everyone nodded, "You'll also be keeping you identities and have your aliases, you'll be deciding for that…" everyone looked skeptical. "You'll be having your aliases for, we cannot expose our dimension and our capabilities, if they can comprehend, it is in your decision to expose you identities, but… They cannot and must not know anything about the TSAB…" Now, everyone fully agreed.

"Amy will be explaining how to get there," and out of nowhere, she popped up from the Admiral's back, grinning that reached both her ears… "Hai! Now, this place will transport you to the place where I tracked their signals…" she moved to a secluded area and turned on a screen. She then typed something on the keyboard and immediately a wall turned into a portal.

"Now, I've set the coordinates on where you'll be arriving, just remember; don't touch anything… you might get sucked into the wrong dimension…" Amy waved goodbye. Lindy said, "Come back in one piece ok?" and waved her hand.

Slowly, the mages and knights began to get sucked into the portal…

…SPD Academy 2026…

As the early rays of the morning sunshine illuminated the Earth, a certain pink ranger woke up earlier than the morning. Watching the early morning rays of pink, blue, orange and yellow that colored the once night sky at the rooftop of the Academy. As the wind blew soft breezes onto her face, it made her hair sway along the soft gush of air. She was leaning forward on the rails, her arms supporting her positions.

However, the morning wasn't warm yet, and she found herself shivering at the cold temperature. Her breath was visible, and her hands were freezing. Wearing the SPD uniform didn't support either. But Sydney Drew was waiting… waiting for something… or someone…

She didn't know how, but she got a feeling that something or someone will be here… And so, she did, she got up and went to the rooftop. 'Get a grip, it was 4:30 in the morning when you got out from bed!" she exclaimed in her thoughts.

She took a glance at her clock, "5:30…" she involuntary read. She returned her gaze at the rising sun, and stayed staring there. She kept staring at nothing but the beauty in front of her, thinking of silly nothings…

She stayed here for she just had a feeling of being here, and was supposedly doing her routine… but decided to watch the scenery. "Hey…" a soft, low, masculine voice whispered at her ear, surprising her… She knew who he was; she smiled sweetly and softly replied, "Hi…" all without turning around and looking at him.

He moved to her side, leaning backwards, his bent elbows resting on the rails, and his face looking at hers. "Morning, Syd…" he smilingly greeted. She turned and looked at his eyes piercing hers, "Hey, Sky… Morning to you too…" she replied in a sweet tone, yet sad tone. She averted her gaze away from him, staring again at the gigantic painting.

Schuyler "Sky" Tate felt her emotions, and hastily, his smile fell. "Uhh… waiting for someone?" Sky asked, hoping to lighten the mood.

Syd gently shook her head and genuinely smiled, "No… Funny, I just had a feeling to be here…" 'What am I saying? I'm such a tattletale!' she thought. She looked at him but quickly shifted her gaze to the scenery, for she was trying to hide a blush that kept fighting to appear in her face. 'Why the hell am I blushing?!' she mentally shouted and wandered. 'I mean we only have a sibling-like relationship! And he probably thinks that I'm his little sister…' She reasoned, feeling better as she continued… but at the back of her mind, she felt so… sad, as she continued her reasoning.

Sky was getting worried; first, he had a feeling to go to the rooftop only to find Syd there; second, Sydney was being moody; and lastly, he might've offended her because she was being secretive and quiet for the past couple of weeks, and its killing him to seeing her like that.

He turned around and leaned forward on the railings, his arms supporting his position and his eyes staring hers. Sydney stood erect and placed her hands on the railings, avoiding his gaze that made her flushed.

He interpreted this as a sigh of annoyance. "Syd… Have I done something wrong?" he asked in pure worry and guilt as he turned to look at the orange morning sky.

Syd eyed him with curiosity, "No Sky, Why'd you say that?"

"It's just that, you've been… You know… Ignoring me… and I feel like… I made you mad or something… and… I don't like it when you're… mad at me; it makes me… lonely… Did you know... you're the only one that could... understand me here at SPD, and... I don't like it when my friends don't get along with me... I feel like... argh! Syd, it's just so... frustrating..." He answered with a difficulty with choosing his words. He couldn't look at her for she made him red.

The pink ranger laughed quietly and softly, "No Sky, I'm just thinking…" she didn't have the courage to admit her feelings for him.

"You can tell me…" he suggested as he turned his head to her direction, eyeing her with gentleness and understanding.

She shook her head, "No, its ok Sky… I'm fine, I'm not mad at you" her gaze looking at the sky.

"Are you sure?" he assured, eyeing her with skeptism.

She turned and stared at his eyes. "Yeah! I'm totally a-okay!" she said in her normal perkiness.

He she studied her eyes searching for hatred and anger, seeing none, he gave in and believed on what she said. "If you say so… But, if I ever did anything in the past that made you hate me, I'm sorry… I truly am… And you know that… It makes me stay awake at night knowing that you hate me… so… I'm sorry…" he said in pure grief and sorrow, hoping to have her forgiveness.

Sydney truly felt his grief and wish for forgiveness, but he didn't do anything! Anything that he made her mad… She placed a hand on top of his and reassured, "I know you are sorry, but you didn't do anything that made me hate you… And if you did, and apologize to me sincerely, just like this, I'll forgive you!"

The red ranger was relieved by her word. He mentally sighed and relaxed. He tensed a little less now. But touching her hands made it feel right… However, he took notice on how cold her hands were. He also saw the way her chin lightly chatters. "Hey… Why don't we go inside and eat breakfast? I'm starving!" he suggested so that she would no longer freeze and catch a cold…

The pink ranger nodded, "Sure! I'm sooo hungry that I can eat all the food!" she turned around and proceeded to the exit along with Sky trailing her back. "Yeah! And when you eat them all, I'm sure you're no longer gonna be a model…" Sky joked, poking a finger at the side of her stomach, making her giggle.

She turned around, playfully swatted his arm and gave a pout, crossing her arms near her chest. 'She looks so cute!' thought Sky. Realizing what he said, he then mentally kicked himself up, 'What the hell are you thinking?' he thought, while 'caressing' his arm, faking pain.

She then grabbed his right arm, clung on it, and began to drag him to the cafeteria. He blushed slightly at her reaction. 'He just looks so adorable when he's blushing and tensed!' Syd thought while studying his face as they walked together towards the cafeteria. When she was doing this to him, he would get so tensed that he walks almost robotically and couldn't even notice that she's staring at him. 'And yet, he doesn't let go of me when I do this to him… He just waits for me to let go of him… or when people sees us in this predicament…' she thought.

"Syd… Syd… Sydney…" called Sky looking at her eyes with a worried expression on his face. Her thoughts were interrupted as he called her name. She mentally shook her head and hastily replied, "I'm fine! I was just thinking again… No worries, it's nothing I can handle!"

"You sure?" Sky asked. The pink ranger nodded childishly. "What were you saying again Sky?" she asked off topic.

"Uhh… We're here…" he said and pointed at the door with a sigh, "cafeteria"

"Oh!" was all that she could say. Dragging Sky, they made there way to the room only to find themselves alone in the room. "What time is it?" Syd asked out of the blue.

Sky sight settled at the clock at the room, "6:00 AM…" he answered.

"It too early!" she complained, letting go of his arm and proceeded to grab her food at the counter.

Sky missed the warmth that left his body, learning what he thought again, he repeated beating himself up. He then followed her, also grabbing his favorite breakfast combination.

Since he knew what he wanted, he was the first to be seated on the table. He wanted to wait for her, but his stomach grumbled in hunger, not wanting to prolong his hunger, he proceeded and ate breakfast ahead of her.

Syd came a minute later, carrying her tray containing a bowl of her favorite chocolate cereal, a carton of milk and a glass of orange juice. She sat at the opposite side on the small circular table on where Sky was eating. She opened her milk carton and poured her milk on her cereal. She picked her spoon and began to stir her cereal; she then took a glance at Sky, who in turn, took a glance at her at the same time.

Quickly, they returned their gazes on their food… "Chocolate cereal? Wanna get fat Syd?" Sky mockingly asked as he raised his head and looked at her.

The pink ranger looked at him, wrinkled her nose and took a spoonful of cereal and milk then munched at her food. She eyed his food, and almost chocked at her food at what she saw. Sky curiously asked, "What's funny?" but Syd was laughing and choking at the same time, making it hard for her to reply.

When Syd's choke/laugh calmed down with a gulp and a sip on her juice, "It's just that, you eat fruit flavored-multi colored cereal…" she started.

"So? Is that funny?" he countered as he placed a spoonful at his mouth.

"And did you notice that you eat a color at a time?" She pointed at his next spoon, which was all red, and her bowl which was only now sorted by colors, red at the right, yellow at the left and purple at the top. "Sooo? I like to eat a flavor at a time and-" he didn't get to finish his sentence with her cutting in, "Is that chocolate milk?" she giggle loudly.

"I like the chocolaty flavor… thank you very much… now… can we please stop this nonsense and eat breakfast?" the red ranger suggested in an annoyed manner.

The pink ranger pouted and glared at Sky in a mockingly angry way… 'Stop it…' Sky thought… He pretended to not see her, her glare… She then gave an "hmph!" audible enough to hear. "Ok, ok… Stop it ok?" he spooned his breakfast and held it out to Syd, "Now, if you think its funny, then try it… It's good!"

Syd waved her hands and shook her head, "No! I don't wanna, 'sides I'm happy with these!" she indicated her cewreal.

Normally, Sky would let it be and shrug the idea, but this day, he was being playful… he swirled the spoon in front of her mouth and grinned, "C'mon, I know you want to… Puhwease? Just one inny bitty, itsy witsy, wittle bite? Puhlease… do it for wittle owld me…" the leader pleaded in a childish way; pouting his lower lip and gave her the puppy dog eyes…

The pink ranger found herself unable to resist his puppy dog face, 'He's just so cute adorable in that look!' "No… I don wanna…" she repeated, acting as childish as she could be; crossing her arms in her chest… She looked at Sky who was still doing the face. 'Why do I find myself unable to resist that look?' she wondered, "Ooh, alright!" she 'irritatingly' gave in… She opened her mouth and let Sky feed her his cereal.

Syd felt hot all over, her face was burning and the hotness reached her ears and neck… 'Wasn't the morning cold earlier?' she wondered in her thoughts, 'Stupid heater…' she cursed, avoiding the real reason… She didn't even get to taste the food thoroughly because of her thoughts, but nevertheless, had a sample on his food… "Well?" Sky asked.

She smiled, "It's horrible!" she said between chews. His lips fell, "Really?" he asked.

She swallowed her food then grinned, "I love it!" she said as she stared at his eyes.

He just gawked at her, lips slightly parted due to his astonishment, "Y-you do?" he asked.

"Of course I do!" she replied. "Now…" she spooned her cereal and held it below Sky's nose, "It's your turn, try it! I promise it's really good!"

Sky eyed her with doubt, but involuntarily opened his mouth and let Syd feed him her cereal. He closed his eyes and chewed the food, tasting the blend of cereal and milk… He swallowed his food then opened his eyes only to find her making a funny face; her tongue sticking out, pulling her ears into pointy ones and her eyes looking at her nose. He wanted laughed his heart out on what he saw, but only came out as a choke and cough.

The pink ranger dropped her face and replaced it with a warm genuine smile… 'He really does look better if he's smiling and laughing!' she thought.

When he regained his composure, he sat erect and ate his breakfast. With some chuckles and some smirking, he took a glance at her and found her staring at him, a sweet smile plastered on her face. "Is there something on my face?" he asked.

Syd shook her head, "No… It's just that…" she started. "I'm sorry for laughing at you but-" Sky cut in, but Syd answered back, "It's not that… You just… Uh… Smiling suits you better… I really like you when you smile!" 'Did I just say that? Yes I did…' she thought, 'Wait a go girl… You just blew you cover…'

Sky looked shocked, and hastily averted his gaze to his breakfast, 'Did she mean that?' he asked mentally.

Syd also looked at her cereal bowl, swirling its contents with her spoon; her body leaning against the table and her bent arm resting on the table supported her head.

There was a uncomfortable and tensed aura in the room after that incident… until the hissing sound of the sliding door made both rangers to look at the door.

A yawning Z entered the room wearing only her pajamas and a yellow tank top. She then eyed the red and pink rangers with an eyebrow raised, "Morning…" she yawned.

Syd and Sky just replied at "Hi…" and quickly returned their gazes at their cereal. 'O-kay… That was freaky…' Z thought as she went to fetch her breakfast.

Syd leaned forward, "Hey Sky, I uh… didn't mean what I said… I just thought that you should… smile more often…" Syd whispered.

"Its okay Syd, you're right, I need to be less uptight…" Sky said looking at her eyes.

The silence was now comforting. But the sudden blaring alarm interrupted their moments.

"Attention, everyone… There has been a breach at the Academy… The intruders are now heading to the containment room, where all the Troobian rebels are contained… SPD rangers, you are given order to stop the intruders immediately… Cadets, you are to evacuate at the entrance… This is now a battlefield everyone, stay alert!" came the voice of Dr. Kat Manx at the speakers at the cafeteria.

With their orders, the three rangers quickly went to find the intruders; the pink and red rangers shot straight from their seat and hurried their way towards the door, the yellow ranger hastily placed her mug down and ran towards the door.

As the door opened, a figure was standing by the door…

A sleepy and yawning Bridge was standing at the door, blocking their way. Z ran passed Syd and Sky and involuntarily grabbed Bridges hand. She began to drag the groggy blue ranger, with some occasional tugs to their clasped hands.

Syd and Sky exchanged amused looks while trailing their backs, "I knew they'd make a cute couple!" Syd whispered in full amusement. Sky mentally nodded but shrugged on the outside.

They resumed their job; running passed hallway after hallway and corridor after corridor to reach their destination.

As they were reaching the door at the containment room, a few hurling purple rays of light blocked their way… But Sky was caught prepared; he stood in front of his teammates and created a force field, blocking the ray. The ray disintegrated into waves of light. The red ranger sighed, making the shield to fade.

"Who're you? Show yourself!" the red ranger shouted. An evil female laugh echoed the corridor, waking the rangers. The ranger dropped to their fighting stance and prepared for the unexpected. The laughing continued, and the rangers heard it coming from the containment room.

Then the door started to slid open with a faint hiss; the rangers prepped, grabbed their morphers and hastily shouted, "SPD emergency!" They morphed to their ranger forms.

As the door fully slid open, a few laser beams were fired from the door, but enhanced reflexes made they dodged it one by one.

A cloaked figure with blue scaly and spiky arms, exited the room.

"Who are you?" asked the leader. The cloaked figure laughed devilishly, sending shiver down their spines.

"You are entering a restricted area, hand where we can see them and-" the red ranger was cut off with the cloaked figure thrusting his way towards them… 'Why do they always do it the hard way?' the pink ranger thought as she countered his onslaught; aiming a straight forward punch to the intruder's face.

The intruder grinned; a sharp-teethed smile. He turned around by twisting his foot, and giving the pink ranger an elbow at the back of her head.

The pink ranger was caught unprepared, resulting to her head being rammed and being tossed a few feet away.

The other rangers ran to help their ally. The red and blue rangers guarding the enemy for unexpected moves, while the yellow ranger kneeling down and checking if the pink ranger was alright. "You ok?" the yellow ranger asked. The pink ranger nodded and stood, "Yeah I'm fine…" she replied.

"I don't know what you're problem is but I-" Sky started but was again cut off with a few dozen photon beams being fired around them, making each ranger to lose their balance, and resulting each and every ranger to face the floor.

And once again, the female evil laugh was heard coming from the containment room.

The rangers took a glance to whom did the attack. And there as the door slid with a hiss; a pale, slender woman with light amethyst eyes and dark grey hair stood. She was holding a staff and was grinning devilishly, "We got what we're looking for… Now c'mon!"

The cloaked figure nodded then stood upright. He then fiddled with his fingers and a dark aura flowed through him, and then a summoning circle; with a square on top of a diamond which has a crescent moon in the middle, appeared in front of the enemy.

The woman and the intruder then passed through the circle. When the have fully passed, the circle then shrunk smaller and smaller. It then condensed and faded into nothing.

"Well that was productive," Syd said as she demorphed. "What did the mean by 'we got what we're looking for'?" Z asked as the others demorphed.

Sky eyes widened, "No. It can't be…" he ran towards the containment room. They followed on suit. When they entered, Sky was standing as his back was facing them. They moved to reach him. "Sky, what's wrong?" Syd asked as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

His face showed no emotion, and his eyes were so… empty. "Look," he said as he pointed a finger to a blank portion on the arranger containment cards.

The other rangers' eyes widen in shock, "I-Isn't t-that the place where-" Bridge stuttered. "yeah…" Z replied knowing what the blue ranger was trying to say.

The pink ranger placed a hand on top of her mouth as she gasped. "Guys, were in for another onslaught…" Sky said.

Notes: Yeah, it sucks… but, I'm writing it because I like it… Anyway, the story revolves after the final battle of Grumm (Power rangers SPD) and before Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StikerS and after The A's series (Which explains why Lindy Haraoun is still the Admiral in the Asura, plus Why I used Testarossa as Fate's last name) and I created the Celestial 'blah, blah, blah' (the one I used to bring Alicia back) so.. It is purely not true and belongs to me… I'm gonna continue this, whether you like it or not… For the sake of those who (hopefully) like it… Oh and lastly, if you don't know what the characters form Nanoha looks like, I suggest you do some research, or better yet, watch the anime (the anime is really good!)... See ya!
