Chapter nine: beginning of a storm

"Are you ready vita," asked Zafira in his dog form.

"Yes I am I've been ready since we were told about this girl now Have Shamal put up the barrier so the girl notices and investigates already," Answered Vita

Vita was not a patient person and hated waiting for this girl to appear. She wanted to go right out against her right off the bat but that was decided against by the others. The girl would have no access to magical healing till the TSAB was in the area and they wanted to make sure she would have a full recovery whether or not she was the right flame type. Another reason for waiting for the TSAB was because some of the Varia personnel had done a profile on the girl and found she would most likely become active if her friends were in danger. It was just her and the wolkenritter here today with the Varia wanting to stay hidden till the TSAB tried to trap them. They were sure to try and having an unknown ally at the time would help.

They had been attacking some small fry in the area to get the TSAB attention and to help fil the book but it was over so quickly that the book barely got a page if that from their opponents. They were lucky that so much of the book got filed when Xanxus tried to seal it putting them a bit ahead of where they thought they would be at this point.

Letting out a huff Zafira said, "We know you complained enough about it for the last week, but we needed to be patient and have everything in place."

"Yeah, yeah," said Vita. "So who is watching master Hayate tonight?"

"Her uncle and the shark," Said Zafira. "Last I heard she was trying to convince the shark to let her braid his hair and her uncle was encouraging it."

"Ha got to get pictures of that later," said vita. Over the last week they have gotten a chance to get to know the Varia. Each of them where interesting and she could tell Signum loved having a fellow swordsman to duel against. Even though in pure swordsmanship Squalo was actually the better of the two, and that came as a shock to the wolkenritter. Of course the worst part of the Varia practically moving in with them was that it allowed Lussuria and master Hayate to work in collaboration to designing new outfits and making the rest of them acting like dress up dolls. The only one that avoided it were Mammon who demanded a fortune of kings for each outfit. What surprised the Varia was that Hayate was actually able to convince Xanxus to wear one of the duos outfits.

"I'm sure mammon will sell some," Said Zafira. Just then they felt a magical barrier covered most of the city.

"Looks like its time," said Vita.

"Yes," Said Zafira. "Remember don't hurt the girl to bad"

"I know," Vita said as Zafira disappeared. After that she started to head closer to the targets residence.

With Nanoha.

Nanoha was just sitting in her room doing her homework when raising heart alerted her to a magical build up. Not even ten seconds later a magical barrier covered the town. "What is going on," she said aloud.

"Magical signature approaching our location at high speeds," said raising heart.

"They're coming here," said Nanoha with a bit of fear. She looked out her window before she gained a look of determination and left her house as quickly as she could before using magic to fly to a nearby roof top. She turned to where the magical signal was coming from when she saw a sphere coming at her.

"Homing bullet," alerted raising heart.

Acting on instinct Nanoha raised her hand and activated a barrier to stop the attack. It had a lot of power behind it and she had to focus on the attack and she barley heard a yell behind her. She turned her head and saw a girl swinging her hammer at her. Nanoha reacted by placing a second shield up. It lasted a moment before the ground below gave in to the strain and collapsed.

Vita was a little impressed not many would be able to hold up two different shields at the same time able to stop her homing missile and her hammer. Even fewer could do it with their device in its inactive state. Maybe this will be more fun then she thought. She then flew down after the girl. She saw a flash of light and she could see the girl was ready for a fight.

Seeing this Vita created another orb and launched it at the girl. The attack created a dust screen that vita charged head first into while swinging her hammer. Her attack missed since Nanoha had flew to the side and out of the dust screen.

"I don't remember doing anything to you. Why are you doing this," Nanoha asked.

Vita ignored her and created another sphere before she used her cloud flames to make a second one. That was one of the main things she loved about her flames. With a bit of experimenting she found it took less energy to multiply her spheres or grow her hammer with flames then it did with magical energy. She hadn't figured it out yet but she was experimenting on time delayed flames combine with her magic attacks but so far the either activate to early or too late.

Vita sensed something behind her and turned to find a pair of attacks coming at her. She dodged the first one but had to put up a shield to dodge the second one. Okay this girl was good. She is only nine yet was able to expertly control those attacks and only made any sign of them at the end. Not even most mages three times her age were able to pull that off.

"You little brat," Said Vita. She started to charge at the girl only for her to avoid the attack with a quick move to the side and her weapon changing forms.

"Listen to," Nanoha said as large amount of magic started to build up in front of her causing vita to pause her charge. "ME," Shouted Nanoha as her attack fired. Vita barely managed avoid the attack but her hat was not so lucky and was destroyed by the attack. That pissed vita off royally. Not even when she fought the prince brat was her hat completely destroyed. It was cut up a bit but not destroyed.

"Argh," yelled vita as purple flames started to appear around her. Seeing the flames Nanoha recoiled in shock at the flames. Vita then created another sphere covered in purple flames and launched it. This time the sphere grew to the size of a boulder after she hit it and Nanoha had to use another sonic move to avoid it.

"Cartridge load," Yelled Vita. Her weapon suddenly changed from a normal hammer into its missile form with a spike on one end and a booster on the other end. "Missile shot." Yelled Vita as the booster fired up and she spun around in a circle before diving down at Nanoha. Nanoha tried to put up a shield to stop the attack but Vita's attack burst through it and rising heart was damaged as a result. Thanks to her shock from the damage Nanoha was sent flying into a building.

As Nanoha tried to recover from the attack and clear the dust from their lungs. Vita charged at her again. She threw up another barrier this time adding more magic to it. After a moment the two seemed to be even before vita yelled, "Break through it!" with that her booster went up adding more power before breaking through the barrier before it hit Nanoha and destroyed her barrier jacket. Before she was sent into the wall.

Vita spent a moment catching her breath after expelling so much magical energy at once. Once she did she walked over to Nanoha who was struggling to list her weapon and aim it at Vita. Vita had to respect that from the girl. Vita was created as a warrior and could respect the premise of not backing down from a fight even when you have already lost. "Her friends are on their way," she heard from Signum. Wanting it to look good she made it look like she was going to finish the girl off.

As she swung her weapon down she met resistance in the form of the blond they had seen fight Nanoha in the recordings. "Hmm allies," She said.

"No friends," said Fate. She then transformed her weapon into scythe mode and swung it at vita.

With the other wolkenritter

"Looks like the other candidate has shown up you guys ready," Asked Shamal.

"Don't worry Shamal we got this you just wait till the time is right to snag their cores. Possible guardian candidate aside we still need the cores to finish the book," Said Signum.

"Yeah while Signum fights the blond I'll head off her familiar when it tries to interfere," Said Zafira.

"Not just yet I want to see how vita holds her own for a bit," said Signum

"Why is that," Asked Zafira.

"Does it have anything to do with what they said about clouds tend to be the strongest amongst the flames," Asked Shamal.

"Not that, they also said there are exceptions to the clouds. Vita has always had a hot head and does not always think things through. So I'm hoping if we have to save her it make her realize she has to use her head more then she does," Said Signum.

"Well guess it's time to move then," Said Zafira looking at vita as she was caught by the familiar's binding spell.

"Indeed," Said Signum Charging at Fate. Zafira followed close behind aiming for the familiar. Shamal just stayed there as she monitored the situation waiting for an opening.

Sorry this took so long. I planned to post this yesterday but I kept rethinking on it and rewriting it till I eventually just threw my hands in the air and just went with what I had.

This is the first part of the initial meeting between Nanoha and company with the Wolkenritter with the next chapter having the conclusion. Hopefully it will be out sometime this month.
