Magischer Kriegers Chapter Two
Hi there this RedRat8 and this is my first attempt at doing fanfiction so take it easy with me as I attempt to write this story to improve my writing skills in general.
Disclaimer I own neither Masked Rider nor Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, if I did I would be pretty damn happy with my life, let the story begin now.
As the dust started to settle the tension between Warlock and the Blob monster started to increase as they stared each other down, waiting to see who would make the first strike in this duel to the death; which begun when the monster started to charge Warlock and he responded in kind to the challenge.
Nanoha's POV
'What's going on here? Why did Yu suddenly transform into an armored warrior calling himself Warlock? What is that monster? Why is there a talking ferret? Heck what on earth is going on here?' Nanoha thought to herself as the events of the past few hours began to catch up to her; and she begin to wonder if she's going crazy at this moment. Only to be distracted by Yuuno telling to get ready to fight or something as begun to fiddle with Raising Heart to do what Yuuno told her to do.
Yuuno's POV
'I don't get Earth was said to have no magic users and now there is apparently a magic user that uses no formulas and uses a different device to fight.' Yuuno thought to himself as he too watch the battle between the Jewel Seed monster and the Warlock. "doesn't matter for now, can get to that later, need Nanoha to wield the power of the staff, and then we can get more information later' as he then begun to shout "Nanoha!" which startled the confused girl (not that Yuuno could blame her at the moment) "get ready to seal that thing, but you need to make a contract with Raising Heart!" as he continued to instruct her how to use the staff, the fight was started to get heated up… literally.
Yu's POV
As Yu dodged another hit, he retaliated by slicing it chest which burned part of it, causing it to hiss and retaliate even further by launching those blob thing again only there was not enough time to dodge so he brought another of his ring in front of his buckle and shouted Defend Now! Which made a magical ward shield made of flames protecting him from the attack. He then advanced further under the cover and took the time to deliver a spin kick, chest punch, then three slashes wounding it further and causing it to back up for now to regenerate.
As he took the time to recuperate, Knight Spoke out "Yu I have no idea what kind of being it is to simply shrug off so many attacks within a short time but please keep in mind you are not used to fighting so seriously so watch yourself and examine your foe, see what he does, notice how it feels, and most importantly assume it's stronger than you. Not only that but I can sense a huge amount of magical energy from it so it may have more tricks up its sleeves." Knight finished with a contemplating expression on its face.
'Yeah I know that so that means we have wear down huh?' Yu thought to his partner, so then switched up another ring Bind Now! As chains started to appear the monster restraining its movements which allowed Yu to call up another ring Explode Now! Causing a massive explosion to hit the blob monster knocking it out further and just as he was about to strike it down pink light shined out behind him taking his attention away to see… Nanoha dressed up in her school uniform with a staff along with some frills giving her a magical girl feel.
… no words can explain how stumped both Knight and Yu are at the moment even as Yu desperately asked Knight what's going to which he replied "magic" and continue to dumbfounded by this turn of events. Then their attention turns towards Yuuno who was shouting at her.
"Alright now that you have the power and the monster is now weaken all you have to do is seal it away!" Yuuno shouted giving hope to Knight and Yu that they will be done soon and get their answers. Only for it to crash as soon as it came when Nanoha shouted "I don't know how to use this thing at all!" which given the circumstance neither could blame her only to face palm when it turns out all she had to do was point in the direction and shoot a spell causing the monster to disintegrate and leaving behind a source that according to Knight was the same source as the monster. Then both widened their eyes as the thing was sealed into Nanoha's staff as it announced [Recipient # XXI Sealed] as the staff then went to sleep with its duties done for the moment.
"Well that was anticlimactic" joked Yu only for everyone's eyes to turn to him making him nervous, but heard sirens and shouted "Talk later, Leave Now, Police soon, you home!" startling everyone there but understanding the point Yu was making. So they all packed up and left the place before anything else happened.
(Nanoha's residence)
As soon as they all got back near her home Nanoha finally asked "What is going on here? First I hear your voice inside my head not once but twice, second some monster came out to try and harm us, third best friend Yu transformed into some kind of Armored warrior called Warlock, fourthly I was somehow able to use a staff to transform into what I think into some kind of magical girl, and lastly said monster dies and become some kind object which the staff sealed it away I think; so I think it's reasonable to ask WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON HERE!" Nanoha finished her tirade with a shout causing both Yuuno and Yu to look sheepish.
"Well then I guess I will go first then I guess." Yuuno volunteered as he then started his story "First you guys have to know that I am not from this world at all, I am what you guys would call an alien." Causing both kids' eyes to widen at that info, to which Yuuno continued his story "I am archeologist working for the Space Police Program known as TSAB or otherwise known as Time &space Administration Bureau, and how I got here was a complete and utter accident." Yuuno then described how the TSAB worked, how he discovered the artifacts known as jewel seeds, how there was an accident along the way scattering the jewel seeds, how he chased after it despite he could have waited for back up on the off-chance some else found it cause havoc with it, how he used up most of his magic to survive the fall, but was too weak to do anything so he sent a psychic call for help so he can recover, leading up to events just now.
Yu just rubbed his head at all the information he had to absorb since Knight confirmed there was no lie in it, and started ask him again just to keep check of everything he said. "So Yuuno you are basically a civilian contractor assisting this TSAB?" to which Yuuno nodded. "Right now there possibly twenty other lost logia that has the capability to destroy the known world as it is?" Yuuno nodded again "Not only that you went chasing after it headfirst with no back-up to prevent misusage of it?" to which he nodded sheepishly "very brave of you by the way, but now stuck on this planet which has been unmonitored due to no magic wielders here and apparently every planet under TSAB control has some kind of magic with little to no magic, no back up, no resources, with two kids to basically help you out to prevent what could be the end of the world at some idiot's desire really." Yu finished with Yuuno looking very sheepishly for not apparently thinking this through, but perked up at the two kids help mentioned.
Yu sighed at the sheer obstacles that appeared in his path but knew this needed to be done and with great reluctance (with some encouragement from Knight) turn to Nanoha to ask her, "Nanoha" causing her to turn to him, "it appears that you are the only one who is capable of sealing these seeds away and now you have been dragged into something far beyond and over our heads, so I ask will you help me and Yuuno seal these logia away?" Causing Nanoha's eyes to widen before she smiled widely and enthusiastically responding "Of Course I would help you and Yuuno out with this problem!" before she smirked and finish it up with "besides someone has to be there to make sure you don't do anything reckless and stupid; Yu-kun." Causing him to pout a bit, Nanoha to laugh and Yuuno looking up and think 'they may be kids but they could do wonders in dealing with this problem especially Yu's magic, which reminds me'
"Yu-san?" Yuuno asked causing both kids to turn their sight towards him, "how did you do magic back there, when the TSAB examined this planet they found no traces of magic at all; so how could you use it? Perking up as Nanoha asked too "yeah Yu, you never mentioned you could do that?" only for eyes to turn watery as she asked "is it because you don't trust me? How cruel of you Yu-san!" causing him to panic and hastily explain only to catch Nanoha laughing at him "ha Yu-kun so easy to trick." Causing him to pout once more and Knight to laugh heartily at him as well before he then decided to explain.
"Tell me Yuuno how does your magic works?" confused but Yuuno answered
"Our magic works by using our linker core which is the invisible organ that produces magic and we use devices such Raising Heart to work the magic from the core to the device and then we used complex formulas to work the magic into workable spells that can exist in reality," Yuuno then asked "Why, does terra's magic work differently?" to which Yu explained.
"Yes and no at the same time." Seeing the confused looks on their face Yu elaborated a bit on how it works. You see it similar in how there is some kind of core that produces magic and much like your devices my rings work to shift the magic into something usable, but that is where the similarities end." Yu took a breather then continued on "my rings not only help absorb the magic but it also has a preset up spell for us to use so no formulas needed." Seeing the astonished look on Yuuno's face he then also added "as a result our magic is simpler to use and stronger magic spells require stronger emotions to work them as well, so to access stronger spells require stronger feeling." Seeing the understanding look on Yuuno's face he then decided to demonstrate it as well, by pulling out one of the familiar ring, Yu then activated. Hound Now! To which then to the amazement of both Nanoha and Yuuno a series of plastic sheets appeared and reformed itself into a small dog to which Yu finish it up by placing the ring on it, then the hound prance around all over causing Nanoha's eyes to wonder in joy, as she then turn to him again and ask "do you have any more Yu-kun?" to which he nodded and got out the rest of his familiar and called out Falcon Now! Golem Now! Shark Now! To which three other familiars formed as well dancing around and causing Yuuno's eye to widen in amazement and Nanoha to smile very happily in pure bliss over the 'cute pets' causing Yu to smile a bit before Yuuno ask the mood breaking question. (In Yu's opinion)
"If your magic is so easy to use how come there not a lot more of you?" to which Yu sighed before replying
"Because the way to gain such magic isn't so wonderful." Yu said solemnly to which Yuuno picked up the mood change and focused as well as Nanoha; as she noticed Yu's sudden mood change.
"the only way to obtain such magic initially was that you had to go through a horrible despair in which there is no chance to recover from normally and if you don't you will suffer a fate worse than death." Much to the shock of the two, as he continued on "You see there are people with hidden magic potential known as gates and if they give into to despair their magic then takes the form of a monster known as phantom." The way he said it send chills down their spines.
"if you do not keep onto hope in such despair you will killed from the inside out as the phantom emerges and kills the soul of the gate and takes the identity of the gate that fell into despair." Both of their eyes widen in complete horror now at the price paid, which Yu paid no attention to as he continued on.
"But if a gate manages to hold on to hope then he/she will be able to suppress the phantom and gain the ability to use magic." Causing Nanoha to question to which Yu cut off immediately "I did not go through such an event to obtain my magic but I will explain it later, just be patient Nanoha." To which Nanoha silently nodded before Yu went back to his story.
"You see a long time ago there was ritual known as Sabbath in which an eclipse would forcibly convert over a thousand people into phantoms." Causing both of them to look up in shock and horror. "The incident killed all but one person, because that person was able to hold onto hope in the face of total despair." Causing them both to look amazed at such an event. "That man would then use the power he gained from such despair to protect gates from falling into despair and fight the phantoms so others would not suffer what he had suffer, that man would become my father and a hero by the name of Kamen Rider Wizard." Causing Nanoha and Yuuno to look at Yu sharply and in surprise as he continued his story. "Eventually as my father fought he would make many comrades and people he consider to be family, and meet other people who was the same as my father such as my mother, who fell into despair when a phantom revealed itself to be using the looks of my deceased aunt to reveal that she was the one responsible for her death, but the memories of good time my mom spent with her sister cause her to gain strength and pushed back despair." Yu said taking a break from talking and looking at the two to see their reactions to which they can see astonishment and sympathy, 'kind emotions so far' Yu mused as he started to tell his story again.
"As my parents went on the journey to defeat other phantoms they eventually found the man responsible for the incidents and stopped him and defeated the other high in command phantoms, during which my father went on a journey to fight the remaining phantoms and came back to Japan to rest only to meet my mother once more and the longer they talked the longer they found out many similarities between them to the point they fell in love and started dating to get married and have me." Yu finished with a happy smile and much to his joy the other two were cheered up by such thing happening, and Yu took another breather to finish the story.
"It was during my early years that I showed promises of magic and learned that I too had a phantom inside me as well." Seeing the horrified faces of both of them he decided to quickly quell their panic, "my phantom is different as naturally-born one he is peaceful and my phantom is based off a Knight so he is also chivalrous and honorable as well so no need to worry." As Yu noticed they both begun to calm down, "as a person with active magic blood inside me, it awoken my dormant magic and would have great potential to become a magic wielder, however with two and one being one of the strongest magic users my phantom woke up early and I have the potential to surpass both my parents, and my parent reluctantly started to show me how to use magic so I don't accidentally hurt myself." As he took a final breather he finished up his story.
"Both my parent and I do not consider ourselves to be warriors or heroes, but we do consider ourselves to be who we are and we will fight to protect the last hope of everybody and anybody that needs our help; but I like to say that I will fight to protect the smiles of everyone." Yu finished with grin that could split his face.
Yuuno's POV
Yuuno for the first time in a while was simply speechless at how magic users were born, what one rag-tag team of misfits mange to do, what they fought for, and what they have accomplished, and only to come to one realization, they were just as dedicated to protecting people like the TSAB and if they ever deicide to join up TSAB would have been proud to admit them in. 'it seems I have gain a very capable ally' Yuuno thought happily.
Nanoha's POV
Nanoha was shocked at the story Yu just told them, but when she stopped to think about it makes a lot of sense as to why Yu's parent aren't around that much, it explains why Yu is so quiet about such thing, it explains why Yu was glad to have her as a friend, growing up without such people around but only surrounded by adults must not have done his social skills a lot of good. It somewhat explains why she was drawn to him, they were the same, they had different circumstances but they were the same in how they were lonely. Not for the first time in her life was Nanoha grateful for having Yu as her friend, she would have grown up the same but just more isolated and smiled happily at understanding her boy more… Wait where did that thought come from did?!
Yu's POV
After some contemplation on their side I had a mental talk with Knight who wanted to meet them in person as well and I agreed to it, in which Nanoha spoke up "truly I have one of a kind of friend here." To which Yuuno nodded as well She smiled happily looking just as wonderful as always, 'wait a minute I did not just found her attractive did I?' the only response he got to that was Knight laughing once more and talking about young love.
"Anyways guys thank you for accepting me as I am and not thinking I am a monster of sorts and for that my phantom wants to talk to you guys as well." Earning surprised looks form the both of them but eager as well to meet my source of magic, so they nodded to accept my invitation.
Then I asked if Yuuno can connect us telepathically again so they can hear him as well to which he accepted and they were surprised to hear another voice that none but I knew about. "Greetings friends of Yu, and I must Nanoha it is a pleasure to finally meet, and I must thank you for keeping Yu company over the past four years and Yuuno I do hope you won't put them in extreme danger otherwise I will find you and hurt you badly." Knight finished off with a threat to Yuuno and went back to sleep, to which I found a paling Yuuno and a giggling Nanoha, who once more stated.
"Truly I have some of the most unique friends in the world," And I could not help but agree with her on that one.

Mostly just exposition here to explain stuff to our magical girl and talking ferret and some relationship building between Yu and Nanoha here.
