Notes: First of all, I would like to point out that this is my very first fan fiction story every published in the internet… I just realized something… The characters in the story(especially from the power rangers) is slightly out of character… Nevertheless, please bear with me… K?
"…" represents dialogues/conversations
'…' represents thoughts/emphasis/sarcasm
…blah, blah, blah… represents time lapse/ another location (don't worry, I'll you notify the place)
This time, italizations are for the Devices' dialogue and dialogue from communicators, phones, etc……
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of the Nanoha and Power Rangers universe it belongs to their respective owners and creators… The only thing I own in this story is the plotline, nothing more, nothing less…
Destined by Fate, Fated by Destiny
CHAPTER 3: A New Era
"Guys, were in for another onslaught…" Sky said.
They were silent for a few moments until the sound of their communicators beeping were heard. They picked up the transmission, "Rangers… Status report!" came the voice of Commander Anubis "Doggie" Cruger at their communicators.
All the rangers could do was sigh, "Sir… We've lost track of the intruders… It appears to have… stolen Grumm's containment card…" his voice fading ineach phrase he said.
The receive was silent for a couple of seconds until the commsnder replied, "I understand. I want your reports at my office… later… Cruger out…" and the communicator turned off.
The rangers all sighed, "It couldn't get any worse…"
With that the rangers turned a heel and head their way to command center.
…Command Center…
"… And that sums it up." Z, the last person to give their report.
The commander nodded and motioned her to call her fellow rangers outside…
The rangers outside looked at the door as it slid open, revealing Z. "C'mon guys… Doggie wants us all there…" They nodded and entered the room.
As the door slid to a close, Sky, Syd, Z, and Bridge met a silent Cruger. The tense atmosphere made it difficult for the rangers to speak and move… The akward and tensed ambience reign suoreme until the commander spoke, "Rangers… What is done is done, and all we can do now is to recapture Grumm… I want all of you to give your best efforts on bringing Grumm down again!"
The ranger nodded and gave their SPD salute.
And when everything is going fine, the alarm sounded… again…
Dr. Kat, who was watching the rangers and their commander the whole time, hastily made her ay towards the monitor to see what caused the alarm. "Oh no…" she said.
"What is it Kat?" Syd asked.
"We have another situation in our hands…" The cat alien answered coolly…
'Not again!' Sky thought, sighing inwardly "Sir, we better get going…" he turned to Kat, "Kat?"
Kat typed on the keyboard. Moments later, she raised her head and took a glance at the rangers and said, "That's funny… There is some sort of interference going on at the containment room… You guys better see what going on there…Good luck rangers."
The rangers stood straight and gave Kat and Cruger the SPD salute. They turn around and headed for the door.
When they were at the hallway, and the doors slid closed, the rangers couldn't help but to sigh in relief. 'What did I do to deserve this?' the pink ranger asked in her thoughts.
"C'mon guys, we better get going…" Syd suggested. The other rangers nodded in agreement and started to ran to the containment room.
…Containment Room…
In the dark room filled with containment cards, a wormhole was forming.
As the wormhole from the ceiling appeared in a dark blue color, ten individuals fells to the floor with a 'thud.'
Nanoha, Fate, Hayate, Yuno, Chrono, Arf, Vita, Zafira, Shamal and Signum was forced to hit the ground as the impact excerted by the wormhole proved to be unbearable as they reached neared it's end.
"Ow, ow ,ow ,ow, ow… That hurt!" Nanoha complained as she massaged her buttocks. "Remind me again to never trust Amy when it comes to this…"Vita said cosidering that her petite body was on top of Hayate, Yuno and Shamal, "Oops… sorry, Vita-chan!" Hayate said to her knight as she stood up. "Yeah, sorry Vita-chan!" Yuno agrred.
"Me too!" Shamal started, "Are you okay master?" she asked Hayate as she dusted her uniform, as she stood upright. "Master… Its really good to see you walk now…" Hayate glanced at her knight, "Yeah! I'm fine, Shamal-san"
Fate and Chrono observed their surroundings… The room has a lot of cards in it. Fate also noticed that the pictures were moving. Arf was about to touch one, but Fate immediately placed a hand on Arf's arm and motioned that she shouldn't touch it. Arf willingly nodded in agreement.
"Guys…" Chrono said. All of them looked at the young officer, "Remember, we have to be as discreet as possible, meaning, we must lessen the number of possibilities of letting our secret slip…"
Yuno eyed him in speculation, "What do you mean?" he asked. "It means that we have to lessen the number of 'people' in our group." Chrono answered, whilst emphasizing on the word 'people.'
'Why do I get the feeling that It's gonna be a bad idea?' Yuno asked in his thought.
The others only looked at Chrono questioningly, "Oh, c'mon guys… We just have to turn 'some' our friends into 'considerable companions'"
All the others reconized what he meant with a loud, "Ah!"
Quickly, Arf and Zafira tranformed to their petite puppy-like form. Nanoha nugged the side of Yuno. Yuno sighed deeply and hurriedly changed into his ferret form.
When he finished transforming, Yuno immediately climbed onto Nanoha's right shoulder. "Happy?" Yuno questioned to everyone… Nanoha giggled at his comment and gave him a soft pet pat on his head.
"Now, how about our aliases?" Hayate suggested. "Ohh, I know, how about-" Vita said but was cut in by the the hissing sound of the sliding door.
Everyone got into their fighting stance and prepared for the unexpected.
Four colored figures; one red, while the others wore blue, yellow, and pink, entered the room. The clad wearing the all-red outfit raised a laser gun, got to a shooting stance, and said, "You are entering a restricted area, hands where we can see them." In a low, masculine voice.
Nanoha, Fate, Chrono, Hayate, Vita, Signum and Shamal did what they were told; the raised their hands high above the air.
"Well, that's a first…" whispered in a female voice by the clad wearing all-pink as she raised her laser gun to them. The blue figure held their communicators by their mouth and spoke in a masculine voice, "Sir, we have intruders captive. And the intruders are mostly children…"
The person in the communicator replied, "Affirmative, bring them back here at the command center."
"But sir, they're the enemy…" the yellow one asked in a female voice. "They might be the enemy, but there is also a possibility that the came for the intruders earlier… Ms Delgado, you said they're captive… meaning they willingly gave up… Now, what kind of Troobian would willingly surrender? Did Bridge also mention that they're children?"
"and besides, Bridge can check them if they have something to tell… Cruger out!"and the communicators turned off.
The yellow and the blue one looked at the red one, "So… What do you think Sky?"
Sky turned to the other rangers and back to the intruders. He lowered his weapon and sighed, "So… Uh… Just in case, what would you prefer; lasers or handcuffs?"
…Hallway…
The group walked in a tensed and uncomfortable silence. Nanoha, Fate, Vita, Signum, Shamal and Chrono walked in a line whist being surrounded by the clad warriors; red in front, blue at the back, yellow at their right and the pink at their left, and their 'animal' friends were held by the small girls; Yuno was standing on Nanoha's right shoulder, Fate was holding Arf, and Zafira was held by Vita.
Indeed it was silent. The only sound heard in the quiet hallway, were the sounds made from their footwear. With handcuffs tying their arms, all they could do was to follow what they were told to do.
'Surely we could just use our weapons…' Vita thought. 'Yeah… But we can't expose our secret to these people…' came the mental voice of Hayate.
People from their dimension could mentally speak to other people… As long as they posses a special bond, a Device or someone with a powerful magical capabilities…
Vita sighed heavily. She held a quiet and calm Zafira. "What do you say Zafira-san?" she asked as she held him with outstretched arms.
'What're you doing?' Zafira mentally inquired. Vita giggled lightly, 'Nothing silly! Do you get the part of acting as discreet as possible? Well I'm making it look like we're innocent.' she replied in thoughts.
She again sighed heavily as she folded her extended arms, hugging Zafira as she walked silently.
Fate sought of a way out. Only arriving to the conclusion of obeying their orders, 'It's the safest way…'
Chrono looked down at the ground, lost in thought.
Nanoha couldn't make out a decent plan because of the fact that it was abnormally quiet.
Finally realizing a good move, she mentally conversed her teammates, 'Guys… what do we do now?' she asked.
Chrono looked up at their back, 'It seems they are capable of understanding our… capabilities… But, we must take caution.'
Everyone nodded, gaining a tiny attention to the yellow and pink rangers.
'I'm going to tell them, in case of an interrogation, that you're civilians caught on a space manipulation accident… You guys just have to make a practical alibi and an alias that isn't obvious…'
All his teammates mentally agreed, 'oh… but what if they ask about you? You're the only one wearing the TSAB uniform…' asked Nanoha.
The TSAB official closed his eyes, 'I don't know… maybe ask them if they know anything about TSAB and take it from there…'
Nanoha looked skeptical but still agreed to his plan, 'Sure… Just don't over do it 'kay?'
Chrono opened his eyes and replied, 'Sure-sure…'
They walked some more until they reached a door.
The red clad turned around and face them, "Behind this door is our control room…" He turned around and began to walk forward.
The door hissed open, and two figures were waiting for them.
'Is it just me, or are those people not people…' Hayate asked mentally as she gazed at the two figures; one was a dog with blue fur and the other was a female cat humanoid.
'Hayate-chan, it's like you haven't seen creatures like those…' Nanoha replied. 'Yeah… And I can assure you, the dog person is not a familiar…' Arf said in thought.
Everyone walked forward as the clad warriors motioned them to step inside. Once inside, the canine humanoid spoke, "Thank you rangers… you may leave…"
The clad whom the canine referred to as rangers all disagreed, "Sir… but what if something happens… With all due respect, but if they're the enemy… You might get over powered." The red ranger said.
"Yeah… can we just stay here and guard you or something?" the pink one suggested.
Their leader pondered at the suggestion, "Okay rangers, but for formalities, I advise you to power down…"
They obeyed their orders. They demorphed… Their outfits faded and revealed their true forms.
The rangers stood in a line beside in other in front of the knights and mages as they guard their captives… observing their intruders with keen perceptiveness.
The first one who interrogated the trespasser was Cruger, "Excuse me, but you seem to be wearing a uniform… Mind telling me your agency or organization you're in?" the canine humanoid motioned to Chrono.
Chrono silently sigh, 'Guys… remember the plan, K?' he conversed.
The others agreed… 'Okay Chrono-kun! Just don't over do it!' Nanoha said in her usual perkiness. He looked at the Cruger without any doubt… Yet his fixed glare still included a hint of worry.
"I'm Juno Zaigon Camagon… an officer of…" the TSAB official said but couldn't finish because he couldn't choose the right words.
"TSAB?" a purring voice said behind Cruger. All eyes turned into the speaker… Dr. Kat Manx stepped beside the commander and repeated her statement, "You're an officer at TSAB?" sounding in a question.
Chrono eyed the feline humanoid with wonder, "Why'd you say that?" he asked…
The feline curiously looked at Chrono, "Isn't it obvious? It's in your shirt… look at the logo… it says 'TSAB'" she answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yeah…" he said in an uncertain voice… that didn't go unnoticed, for the SPD red ranger was attentively listening on ever word Chrono was saying. Sky leaned forward and whispered to Syd, "Hey… do you think that they're fake? I mean, look at him… he's making an alibi…"
The pink ranger nodded in agreement, "Yeah… but you know doggie! He knows what he is doing… He can tell if someone was lying from someone who's not… Just relax Sky…"
Sky regained his composure back, 'I'm still not convinced…' he thought…
"Uhh… so…" the red ranger started… getting the attention of all the people inside the room, "What does TSAB mean?" he asked curiously.
Chrono was talking to Cruger explaining his alibi until he heard Sky talk, "I… Uh… It means… Transactions, Savings and Accounts Bureau…" Even if he was calm… he still couldn't get a decent conversation due to his sense of uneasiness…
"So you do banking stuff? I mean for a kid… You're doing this kind of stuff?" the pink ranger cut in.
"Yeah… Its Parent's Day… and our school organized a day of… doing our parent's job! My mom's a banker…" Chrono said with a little difficulty. 'C'mon guys… the plan remember?' he reminded his partners.
So far, Sydney wasn't buying their alibi… So she mentally shrugged, and tuned to the others and asked, "So what about you guys…? Have any li-… secrets to tell?" she was about to say 'lies' but was stopped by Sky's index finger brushing her hand with hesitation. She abruptly took a glance at Sky, which he returned by a shortly shook his head sideways…
"I'm Sha-reid, Shareid Shundy Aguilar…" Shamal said, almost exposing to them her true identity, "I'm with my sister," she gestured to Signum who hastily cut in, "Gloreen Mae Retuerne… we were… uh…"
"Accompanying us at the bank…They're our guardians" Nanoha replied in an unsure way. "Yeah!" Signum said.
"I-I'm Janneau Mealou Yapo… I'm an… elementary student…" Nanoha shakily said, she then pointed Fate, "This is…" she started but Fate interrupted, "Mae Linn Soria…"
Nanoha nodded then pointed to Vita, who instantly spoke, "Kris Ivah Marie Guitap… But you can call me Kim…" she said as she embraced Zafira in her arms…
Hayate laughed at her childishness, earning a look from all the people in the room… She felt embarrassed yet still had the courage to introduce herself, "uh… Hi! My name's Cheska Arla Agrupis…"
The commander was skeptical, "And you're here because…?" he stopped in mid sentence making his statement a question.
Nanoha was the first one to speak, trying her best to sound and act as childish as possible, "I dunno… I mean, we just got here… We were just walking and then we got into a bbiigg circle thingy and the next thing I... We knew is, we were now here… And then you guys came and then we got in this room and-" Nanoha didn't finish because the Hayate and Fate covered Nanoha's mouth with their hands, "We get the point Nanoha!" Hayate exclaimed.
The three girls were laughing and frolicking in front of the SPD officers. The rangers who witnessed their act had different reactions; Syd and Z chuckled lightly, Sky shook his head in disappointment, and Bridge was looking at the children with wonder.
It was until Cruger cleared his throat that made the three children to stop. And so they did, Nanoha, Fate and Hayate stood embarrassed in front of all of them. All the rangers looked at the Canine, "What do you think commander?" Sky asked.
Cruger fixed his sight to Kat who was away from the group… She was looking at the monitor with her eyebrows furrowed, "Why is there no information on our database?" she asked to the group…
'Uh-oh we are totally busted!' Nanoha thought.
'This must mean that… wait…' Cruger looked at Nanoha, "Janneau, did you say you were pulled in a big circle?"
'Better go with the flow…' Nanoha suggested to herself, "Mm-hm…" she replied whist nodding her head vigorously…
'Just as I thought,' Cruger replied to himself. "What is the date the date today?" he asked outloud.
Hayate said, "May 10, 2006…" at the same time when Bridge said, "May 9, 2026…" all in unison.
Everyone gaped at the revelation, "No, no, no, no, no… You got it all wrong… It. Is. May.9. 2026… Did you bang your head or something?" Z said in her usual accent.
"I don't think so… I mean, it is… or it was May 10, 2006… It said so in my watch," she held her watch to them. "What if you're lying?" the pink ranger asked.
"No were not!" said Vita shouted. The red ranger was about to sat something but was cut by a voice in the back, "If you were not lying… then why isn't there a single information about this Transactions, Savings and Accounts Bureau you've been telling us…" everyone looked at the person that spoke.
Kat was typing furiously at the keyboard with her brows knitted together with lines on he forehead, at the same time putting her lips in a grim line. Cruger then looked back at the TSAB officers, "Well… Do you have anything else to lie?" he taunted.
'Why you meanie!' Hayate said in her thoughts while posing calm and collected composure. 'Ohh I know…' Hayate thought, "Anu…" Hayate walked to Bridge. She tugged the hem of his shirt, "Anu…" at this point Bridge looked down at her and said, "Excuse me? Did you say something?"
Hayate looked at him with her best puppy dog face, "Anu… What dimension is this? Coz we are from the 18th dimension…" 'I'm not lying… Right? Of course I'm not…! right?' she asked to herself in thought.
The blue rangers eyes widened in shock, "Commander…" he said. Cruger looked at Bridge who in turn looked at the commander, "Yes cadet Carson?" Cruger asked.
"Commander… They say they're from the 18th dimension… But how could there be an 18th dimension if there were only 16…? Then maybe, there is an 18th dimension… or they could be lying? And what if-" he was babbling until Z elbowed his stomach… He quickly fixed his composure then said, "Well the point is… Is… Is… What was the point again?" he asked to Z, who gave him another elbow.
"What if you use your… abilities?" the feline genius suggested.
"Ohh… Right…" he said. He then took his gloves off, "Okay… Now…" the blue rangers wave his arm and the colors were swiftly emitted from the trespassers. 'Well that's funny…' the blue ranger intriguingly thought.
"Well?" the Canine commander said impatiently. "I don't know how to say this, commander" Bridge started, "They're telling the truth but they're not telling the truth…" he said with a little difficulty.
"What do you mean by that, cadet Carson?" Cruger asked. "I-it's like this… They're telling the truth about most things but…" Bridge said, "But what?" Z said, getting annoyed. "But… there is something that these people aren't telling us…" the blue ranger finished.
"But can we trust them?" voiced by Syd. "Yes… No… Well maybe… kinda… I supposed so… maybe not… Sure… I-" the blue ranger said incoherently, but was, again, interrupted by Z exclaiming, "Just make up your mind already!"
The blue ranger was taken back, "No… Yes… Yes!... Yes!!! I'm sure of it… they can be trusted." He spoke in assuredness.
"If you accommodate them that way…" Cruger said. "Hey mister…" Nanoha spoke. 'I must be childish… I must be childish… I must be childish…' she repeatedly told herself.
"What is it, dear?" The canine relied. "Hey mister… I wanna go home… But we don't have a home here… Can we stay here?" she pleaded in her most childish way.
Cruger turned to glance at his comrades, and each of them gave an assuring look… "Sure… And we'll do everything to bring you back home, okay?" he said as he knelt down and looked at her eyes.
"Hai! I mean, thank you!" Nanoha exclaimed as she hugged the Canine… 'Guys… It means that we have to do our mission a little faster…' she communicated mentally.
'Daijobou, Nanoha-chan…' Hayate spoke in her mind. 'Yeah… at least you gave us a place to stay…' Fate agreed. 'Oh, all we must do is to do it secretly… and we mustn't go unnoticed… we plan this later… okay?' Nanoha suggested.
Everyone nodded in agreement… "Um…" Fate spoke as she laid down Arf. "Uh…" she couldn't say a word.
Sydney noticed this and quickly asked the commander, "Sir… where will they be staying?" The commander looked at her and answered, "They'll be sleeping at a spare room," he turned to look at Kat who was typing furiously in front of the screen.
The feline looked up from the computer screen and said, "We only have one room available here… a room for…" she looked down to the screen then back to them, "Only four people…"
"Four? Only four?" the commander inquired. "Yeah… four…" Kat repeated.
The pink ranger took a step forward, "Sir… what if the others… share with our rooms…"
The other rangers eyed her with odd looks, "I don't know about that Syd… Sharing them our room means that we'll get lesser space… less 'private' space…" uttered by the yellow ranger.
"I know it sounds bad… but we can monitor them if they're up to no good…right?" the pink ranger said.
"You're right about that… Cadet Drew…" he looked at the mages, then back to his cadets.
"But… only one more thing before we finish this…" he started. "What is it commander?" cadet Tate asked.
"Who stays with whom?" and with that said, all fell silent.
"Guys… I'm doing that job…' spoken by Chrono. 'No… It's best if you do the actual job… I'm doing it…' Nanoha replied.
'I agree… At least she has backup when something comes up…' Yuno said.
Fate eyed Nanoha with worry, 'Nanoha, are you sure about this? I mean-'
'Fate-chan, I'm okay… 'Sides I'm with Yuno-kun!' the brunette mage answered.
Fate still felt unconvinced… If Nanoha were to do it, then she must also do it. 'Well, in that case… I'm gonna be the other one… Don't bother changing my mind 'coz I already made up my mind!'
'Yeah! And I'm gonna be with her so… Don't worry!' Arf spoke proceeded by a bark.
All eyes fell on the red puppy, Nanoha raised her hand, "I'm gonna do it!" she said laced with determination in her voice.
Fate stepped forward, "Me too! I'm up for it!"
Cruger looked at them with a small smirk forming on his lips. He then looked at the red ranger and said, "Cadet Tate, you'll be sharing your room with Ms. Yapo and Cadet Drew…" and as the red ranger absorbed the information, his jaw dropped, "Commander… With all due respect, but… why am I rooming with cadet Drew?"
The canine smirked, "It is because of Ms. Yapo staying at your room… Can't let her feel pressured… even if she is a suspect…"
The SPD red ranger sigh, "Yes commander…"
The commander looked at the blue ranger, "I guess you'll know where you'll be staying…" he asked.
The blue ranger spoke, "I'm rooming with Ms. Soria… and…?" his trailing made it a question, "Who am I rooming with again?"
Z rolled her eyes, "I don't know… maybe someone near you…"
"Now, who could that be?" the blue ranger asked, spacing out.
The shadow ranger suppressed a chuckle, "Before I adjourn this meeting," he turned to Kat and spoke, "Dr. Manx, you'll be showing the others their room." He looked at Syd and Sky, "You two will be guiding Ms. Yapo your rooms," and looked at Z and bridge, "and the two of you will be leading Ms. Soria to your rooms…"
He stood erect to them all and said, "This meeting is adjourned…" he gave them the SPD salute, as the did the same.
Nanoha walked towards the pink and red rangers. The red ranger saw this coming so he tugged Syd's sides with his elbow; who immediately looked at him then to the direction on where he was looking at, then Back to him, "Remember… Be nice…" she warned.
"Yes mom…" He answered mockingly.
The pink ranger playfully swatted his arm then gave him a broad smile, "Here she comes…"
Nanoha stood in front of the two rangers, "Um… Uh… mm…" she stammered as she looked at the tall red ranger.
Syd leaned forward meeting the child's eyes; she placed a reassuring hand on her left shoulder, "Hi! My name is Sydney… I'm the pink ranger… But you can call me Syd!" she said in a cheery tone. The red ranger saw this, and he smiled at her childish antics.
Nanoha nodded with equaled childishness, "Hai! I mean… Okay! Um…" she leaned forward and whispered something to the pink ranger, "Who's the guy over there? He's scary!" she indicated the quiet, death glaring, red ranger.
The pink ranger giggled lightly, "Don't worry Janneau… It's alright… He's a good guy…" she whispered back to the frightened child.
"Okay…" she replied shakily. She then turned to the red ranger, gave him a toothy grin and said, "Hi! I'm Na-Janneau…" 'I must be careful when introducing myself…' she told herself.
The tall, big guy knelt down, meeting her stale blue eyes, "Hi… I'm Schyler, but you can call me Sky… I'm the red ranger…" he spoke softly while smiling.
The Mid-Childa mage blushed at his actions, causing her to look downwards whilst swaying sideways.
The pink ranger grinned at their interactions, "C'mon guys! Lets go!" she said.
Sky stood up and began to walk beside the two childish girls.
Meanwhile, Bridge and Z were guiding a quiet and behave fate to their room.
The yellow ranger stopped and pulled the blue ranger arm. "Hey! What was that for?" Bridge irritatingly asked.
The yellow ranger leaned forward, "Don't you think that she's too quiet?" she whispered. "Yeah … Why?" he spoke with curiosity on his accent.
"Ugh! Never mind…" she walked to the blonde. "Hey there…" she started, making the child jump from her position, away from her.
"H-hi…" she whispered bashfully.
The yellow ranger noticed her puppy, "Cute puppy you got there… What's her name…"
"A-arf…" she said stuttering.
"Cute name ya got there…" she dumbly said.
Fate it held to her, "You can pet her if you want too…" she softly and shyly said,
"Okay,,," she took the puppy from her, and began stroking her soft, red fur…
"By the way… I'm Elizabeth, but you can call me Z…" she said while petting Fate's 'dog.'
"I'm Mae Linn… But you can call me, Mimay…" Fate cheery said. "Who's that guy over there?" Fate indicated Bridge who was munching on a toast that was there before.
"Him? His name is Bridge… He's the blue ranger… and he likes toast…" she said.
They walked until they reached their destination.
…Hallway; Sky, Syd, Nanoha…
The trio walked in comfortable silence talking about silly nothings, while the rangers stole secret glances at each other…
Nanoha could no longer take it… She gotta ask the burning question. "Um… Syd-chan'" she started.
The pink ranger who was giggling stopped and motioned her to continue, "What is it sweetie?"
"Are you Sky-kun's girlfriend?" she frankly asked.
Both rangers stopped on their tracks. They turned to look at opposite directions due to there reddened color, "I'm not his/her girlfriend/boyfriend." They both spoke in the same time in unison.
Sky and Syd blushed harder, "What made you think that?" the again said in unison at the same time.
The child giggled loudly, making them blush redder, and said, "It's because you were looking at each other when the other wasn't looking."
Syd turned around quickly recovered from her current state, "Oh, really?" she mockingly asked to Nanoha
"Yeah!" she happily answered.
"And what if I did? I thought you were looking at me?" he countered.
"Uh-hm?" she mockingly teased. The red ranger poked her side, which made her giggle, "Stop it!" she wanted to say, but came out as a laugh.
They walked to their destination in a comfortable ambience filled with laughs, giggles, and secret glances, for the rangers. They didn't even care if lower ranking cadets were suspiciously eying them, for; all they cared for was to have fun.
Moments later, they arrived at their destination. A thick, metal sliding door appeared before them.
"Here we are!" the pink ranger squealed.
Nanoha looked at the pink ranger with the same joy as she was in. "I can't wait to see my new room!" she exclaimed.
The door slid open, and a wide room with home feature came into view. It also had a big window that gave a spectacular view on the whole academy.
Nanoha gasped as she looked through the window, "Sugoy!!! Wow!"
"I'm glad you liked it!" Sky said patting the head of the girl.
"It's really homey! I really like it!" she said as she looked at the scenery before her.
"So… I'm gonna go get your bed… so I'll leave you with Syd here okay?" the red ranger said as he walked towards the door.
When he left the room, Syd leaned forward and said, "Hey Janneau, want a tour?" she asked to Nanoha.
Nanoha nodded excitedly, beaming her a happy grin, "Okay, Syd-san."
The pink ranger stood erect and walked towards the door alongside the mage.
…Dorm Room; Dr. Kat, Signum, Shamal, Chrono and Hayate…
As soon as they reached the room, Kat explained to them that they were being monitored her.. And that any unexpected moves would be recorded here.
As soon as the feline left, all Gave a sigh of relief.
"We'll what a day… Chro-Juno-kun" Hayate said, almost slipping his real identity.
"Yeah…" he said flatly. 'Everyone… We'll start our job tomorrow morning… As l9ong as Fate and Nanoha keep them busy… I expect that we can properly do our job…' he mentally communicated. Everyone nodded in agreement.
…Syd and Z's room; Z, Bridge and Fate…
They arrived in their room silently, "Soo… who's gonna be our roommate, Fate?" he asked the child.
The child chuckled lightly at his comment; she motioned that their new roommate was a certain, yellow wearing clad.
"But… the only clad wearing yellow here is Z, and Z's-" he started.
"Z is your new roommate!" the yellow ranger shot back.
"Ohh!" he said in realization. His stomach grumbled in hunger. He turned to look at Fat who was sitting at his new bed, "Hey Mimay, you hungry?" he asked.
The blonde nodded. "Okay… Let's go eat!" he declared, gently grabbing Z and dragging her out of the room.
Fate watched at the two had friendly spats along with the silly comments they threw at each other.
All is going well… so far… As the ranger don't know that… A new threat is forming.
Notes: Phew! That took me long enough to write… I mean School was hectic! And with my Finals coming soon… It's just soooooooo frustrating! Anyway… I really hope you liked it!
