Magischer Kriegers Chapter ten
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.
Hey guys this will be my last chapter for this fic for a while and to give you guys something good to enjoy this is going to be about two to three times longer and hope you guys enjoy it. I also wish to give thanks to the many people who read and reviewed my story all of you guys rock!
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.
To say it was boring would be an understatement of the current situation. There wasn't much going on in the battleship Arthra, and there has been no active Jewel Seeds for the last ten to eleven days or so.
Really, the only people who were getting any form of actions were Yu's parents and whoever they decide to bring along to deal with those pesky criminals from getting their hands on the Jewel Seeds.
But right now it was boring for me just sitting around waiting for the next Jewel Seed to activate, and now that I think about there should be only about seven wild Jewel Seeds around too. Yu's just getting himself looked over when it turns out that one of the Jewel Seeds attached to one of his ring and had all of the energy absorbed by Nitoh's Chimera, which thankfully prevented Yu from suffering any harm.
But as a side effect the Jewel Seed refused to leave his side, to which Yuuno believed won't be removed until he has true need of something; that can override Knight's ability to absorb any energy into himself. So for now he's safe but the doctors on the ship warned him not to overuse his magic as that could cause it to break out.
Yu went off to see Hayate and help her out a bit, while possibly letting out abridged version of the story that has happen so far. According to Yu is his own words, "Hayate is really good at helping out people and really makes you feel better after a harsh day." So he probably wants to let off some steam a bit and the only ones that he would talk to are me and his family.
But considering I'm training and Yu's family are out dealing and searching for any possibly threats; Hayate is probably the only one left to talk to. But for some reason the idea of Yu spending an extra amount of time with her irritates me for some reason.
Ignoring that subject for now, another thing has been worrying me a bit really. I wonder if we can truly take on and defeat Fate safely. The only people here concerned about her seems to be me, Yu, Nitoh, Yu's parents and Lindy; which does not amount to much here.
I really hope we can help her out, because she has eyes that are beautiful but just so sad. Yu seems to be able to understand me in that regard, Yu always trust my sense of character as it is very accurate according to him. So he always finds me to judge whether or not people are who they are.
Then I heard the ring and telepathic connection with Yu starting up again and I know he was here now. So I stopped my training to talk with him telepathically. 'Yu, how have you been, where have you gone with Hayate, are you all right?' were the first things I frantically asked, huh guess I missed him more than I liked to admit to myself.
'I am doing okay Nanoha, me and Hayate went to the library to enjoy some more books, and one last time I have been doing fine aside from the fact that I can't really use or push my magic to the max really.' Yu responded back and Nanoha was kind of happy to hear him again.
'Which is why there is something I wish to talk to you about Nanoha, I have a plan in the makings that could get all the Jewel Seeds that Fate has with us.' Now she was interested, Yu's plans usually range from well thought out ones to incredibly stupid ones at times; she really hope it was more of a former rather than the latter.
'Really what is the plan this time, which may or may not be extremely dangerous to our health and what not?' She really could not help the sarcasm here, mainly due to the fact that most if not, all his ideas in battle tends not to leave him in the best of conditions. Just as Yu was about to retort back the emergency alarm rang, signaling the activation of the last Jewel Seed,
'We will talk about this later Nanoha, but first we need to get over to the command deck and see what we are dealing with in terms of the monster of the week.' He spoke ever so sarcastically about the possible threat that the Jewel Seed might become; and how ridiculous some of the monsters were and sometimes like those monsters from Saturday morning cartoon shows.
As she and Yu then made their way to the command deck they noticed that Lindy, Chrono, and Nitoh were there already. Nitoh was there because the TSAB needed a middleman to relay all information on both sides here. They seemed focused on the holographic display showing that Fate was fighting against some kind of water monster of sorts.
Yu then asked the trio, "So what is the plan to dealing with the situation here?" as he too observed the holographic display. To which Chrono replied, "For now we will let Fate deal with it, though if she keeps this up she will kill herself at this rate." Did they just say they are okay with Fate dying! No they couldn't allow this to happen but it seems they are okay with that idea.
She noticed that Yu was clenching his hands in rage, and even more so when he saw her get knocked down by one of the water pillars which also caused to wince a bit as well. In panic I spoke up, "We have to help her, we can't just let her get wounded like that!" to which Yu agreed with me and Nitoh was conflicted on the matter at hand.
"Unfortunately it is for the best that she is taken out, that way we can arrest her more easily." Lindy said with sorrow in her voice while Chrono just nodded but noted some annoyance with that order as well. Now she was worried, they have to do something and was about to ask Yu when he interrupted her.
'Nanoha, you and I need to get down there and rescue Fate. Yuuno has agreed to hold them back while we get teleported there; so are you in or out?' To which she was more than happy to nod back in reply, then the two of them started scooting back and back till they were able to get near the teleporter and activate it.
'You two ready? Because I can only hold them off for a couple of minutes at best.' Yuuno mentally spoke to the two. 'Yep we are ready also make sure to deal with Nitoh first because he could probably absorb most of your magic away so make sure he can't reach his rings.' Yu reminded Yuuno. Acknowledging that now he prepared to get Nitoh first in the conflict.
The three exchanged one last nod before initiating their plan. By that time the crew members who noticed it, Yu and Nanoha were already in the platform. Then Yuuno bounded up Nitoh who did not look to mad about it but rather understanding.
"What the! What are you guys doing? Never mind that stop them!" Chrono shouted out before everything was blocked of by Yuuno and now the remaining people were stuck in a green barrier erected by Yuuno. Then he took a defiant stance against them with his hands spread out.
During which Yu took one last look and apologized for the inconvenience and promised to explain it, and the last things I heard from Yuuno were, "None shall pass as long as I still stand." Well now it is time to rescue Fate from death by water monster!
It was times like these that I wish I could fly more like Nanoha, the air feels wonderful against me and the adrenaline rush makes me feel super excited. But now is not the time for that, it is time to save Fate. So as I got out my rings and Nanoha got out Raising Heart, I took one look at her and we both nodded and got ready to transform.
"Raising Heart Set Up!" "Henshin!" Change Now! Hurricane Fu-Fu, Fu-Fu-Fu-Fu!
Now equipped and ready to go they speed their way to where Fate and the last remaining Jewel Seed monster was. It did not take long for the duo to reach her and when they got near Alf saw them and assumed them to be hostiles and charged at them. To which both managed to dodge and continue flying towards her.
The blonde, seeing the two fighters readied another spell and was about to strike them down when they managed to dodge that. Then Yu then fired his crossbow gun at the water pillar heading straight for Fate and destroying it entirely which naturally surprised her.
"Why are you helping me?" she asked us with complete befuddlement, naturally I responded back to her. "Why shouldn't I help you? I may not be strong as you or Nanoha but I did make a promise to help you didn't I? Though you may not want to show it, your eyes scream for someone to help save you. After all me and Nanoha will do it no matter what."
Fate's eyes for a moment widened really wide and she turned a bit red there, only for Alf to come rushing in chasing us. "Fate! Are you all right did these scumbags hurt you!" she shouted panting a bit from the dash she did to get here.
"No they did not Alf, but for now consider them to be allies." Which surprised Yu at how willing she was, but then again considering she got a beat down dealing with this creature it makes sense to him. But still Alf found that really hard to swallow but accept it anyways; but not before she growled at us before leaving to deal with the creature.
"Well at any rate here is power for you to use Fate, it looks like you were about to go dry out on us." As Nanoha send her some energy which Fate gratefully received and now they redirected her attention back to the matter at hand here. Which is the water pillar Jewel Seed monster.
"Well then Nanoha let us hope that the energy will see Fate and the rest of us through this battle then." To which everyone hoped it stay true, as another water pillar emerged and this time I shot it multiple times and then Fate and Nanoha each launched several spells to disable it once more.
"It has to be enough, if we do not finish it off here the jewel Seed will go on a rampage and the entire city will be at risk then!" Fate told me and Nanoha which reminded us why it was important to finish the battle here and not let it get it any further out of control.
To which both of looked somewhat grim on our respective faces as Fate then turned to me. "Yu I must know do you have any binding spells that can restrain that thing so me and Fate can build up one of our more powerful spells?"
To which I pulled out my copy ring then made four duplicates of myself which surprised the both of them. Then each of the copies pulled out a bind ring and then air chains moved in surrounding the monster preventing it from moving any further for now.
"You two best hurry up! While I am able to restrain him right now, it is expanding more energy with the cloning ring to keep him from moving and as a result burning my reserves faster!" To which the two girls started preparing their spells he was having some major trouble with this.
This monster was a rampaging storm of power and it is taking just about all his reserves just to keep him there. But even he knows he won't endure for long as he felt his magic energy being drained at an alarmingly steadily fast rate.
Thankfully Alf was helping out dealing with any left overs that managed to get away, then he noticed that the two girls had their spells fully charged. "You two ready?" to which the two nodded. "Good now on the count of three you shoot the dang thing down got it?" to which they nodded once more in acknowledgement.
"One, Two, Three!" as he then released his binding spell the two girls unleashed their powerful attacks. "Thunder Rage!" "Divine Buster!" As the two soared into the sky and smashed right into the monster, before the monster vanished from the attacks. The only things that were left were the remaining Jewel Seeds there, seven in total.
Now he just sighed in relief as he and the other females were looking up at the sky which was now starting to clear up a bit for them. "Well that was certainly a thing wasn't it you two?" He asked a bit teasingly to which the other girls chuckled a tiny bit.
"Yes it was Yu, but now that the Jewel Seeds are now all sealed up there should be no more disasters for some time now too." Nanoha peeped up as he laughed while Fate smiled. But then he notice something was wrong when the clouds started to darken once more; and Fate paled a bit.
Which is why he was most confused when she said "Mother", then all of a sudden a bolt of purple lighting struck down the area that Nanoha and him were at. Then he let the darkness claim him as he fell unconscious from the strikes of lighting.
The next thing he noticed was himself blinking before groggily waking up a bit. "Ugh, what on earth hit me?" as he then took in his surroundings before he found Nanoha sleeping at his bed. The last thing he remembered was gathering the last of the Jewel Seeds with Fate then some lighting stuck them down.
'My host I believe that you were struck down by lighting and judging the way the girl, Fate acted, she seems to be well aware of who it was. But remember when she said mother? I believe that we finally found our mastermind and Scumbag who harms children." Knight spoke up with venom in his voice as he finished updating him on the situation.
Now taking in the information here, a lot of it actually makes sense to him. Why else would Fate go so far for anybody? The only answer would be if it was someone she loves of cares about very much; and a mother definitely qualifies for that. Which angers him all the more as he remembered seeing the whip marks that Fate has. There will be reckoning for this he vowed to himself, to make Fate's mother pay for her crimes.
But that can be deal with later as he now has more pressing and important business to attend to, which Nanoha is slowly waking up right now. Nanoha was rubbing her eyes out tiredly as she then reoriented herself up to look at me.
"So Nanoha where are we right now? Also do you like sleeping with me?" I finished with a rather mischievous smile which cause her to blush and back off really badly while she was waving her arms while completely denying it at all.
"N-n-n-no Yu it wasn't anything like that I swear!" putting my hands up now, "relax Nanoha I was just teasing you a bit." Causing her to pout a bit here at my teasing. "But seriously where are we right now though?" I was a bit curious as where we are as this looks like no hospital room I have ever been in before.
"We are currently on the battleship's medical room Yu." Well that explains that, "Has Fate been captured?" to which Nanoha shook her head in reply, "No Fate left after we got blasted by that lighting spell there." Well that means we still have to capture her and all now.
Now nodding in acknowledgment of what has happened so far, he got of the bed and started walking towards the door with Nanoha in tow. "Well then, that means we have to find Admiral Lindy and the rest of the brass and explain why we pulled our shenanigans as we did."
"What do you mean you let them go off to rescue the girl, Nitoh!?" Lindy was absolutely shocked that Nitoh intentionally let them through and positioned himself where he knew he would get trapped away. While Chrono was just standing at the side watching the argument.
"It is as I said Captain Lindy, you know full well that we were okay with letting that girl suffer painfully just so we can get an advantage. I may not agree much with the foolishness that Yu and Nanoha show at time. But I will be damned if I don't do anything to save that kid!" Nitoh retorted back at her, which caused her and Chrono to flinch at the accusation.
Lindy should have seen this coming, really she should have. Nitoh is a Kamen Rider who would protect as many people as he could. Heck according to him, most Riders are like this after all. But still he should have helped out in restraining the two kids instead of letting them off into the battle to fight against the monster and letting Fate escape.
Then the door rang as the two would-be offenders walked in to their briefing room. While the girl looks nervous, the boy looks worried but there is that burning determination that seems to shine in just about every Rider she met so far. Granted that seems to be standard for the Riders, but you think that the idea they committed some crime would make him sweat a bit here!
"So mind telling us why you two did acted without orders?" putting the best of my scary glare look at them right now hoping to make them sweat; naturally only Nanoha seems to be affected by my glare while the boy started sweating but looked rather determined here.
Yu then took a deep breath, probably to calm his nerves down, before starting his explanations to us. "First off I would like to say this is not a spur of the moment here Captain Lindy. I was going to tell you what I was trying to do and unfortunately given the circumstances and time was of the essence. There was no possible opportunity to consult you about the idea I had."
The boy then paused looking at us, possibly to gauge our possible reactions and thought process. But I do have to admit though, what was his plan before Yu continue to talk. "As I have stated here already. Fate Testerossa and her familiar Alf were following someone's orders and I was hoping to identify who it was."
Well that seemed like a very logical plan, while deal with the body of the serpent when you can just cut off its head? "Naturally I needed to establish a better rapport with her, and getting her killed off as you guys decided. It seemed rather counterproductive to that goal."
Once again I and my son could not help but flinch at that accusation while Nitoh gave me an 'I told you so' look. while giving an annoying thumbs up to the two while he nodded in thanks. Yu then continued on, "Another reason is because she's a known factor. Someone that we know has she acts and reacts, someone that we can prepare for once all the Jewel Seeds are out now. If she is dealt with right now then her employer might send in someone we have absolute no idea how to handle; furthermore if the jewel Seeds stayed active anymore it would have cause major damage to the city here." Yu finished while I gathered my thought process.
After a while I could only relent with a sigh here. "Fine I will let this transgression pass this time. You also have a valid point about those Jewel Seeds as well, letting them stay active anymore would have been disastrous."
That cause some relief in the two but I glared at them once more. "But I would prefer that you explain yourself next time, are we understood here you two?" to which both kids saluted and nodded "Yes Ma'am" to me then I dismissed them.
Then I turned to my son, "Chrono what have you found out about our current case?" the boy nodded as he ask Amy to bring up to bring the relevant files on the vase here. Then a hologram projector showed a picture of a dark haired woman.
"According to our records this is Presea Testerossa, a Mid-Childa Mage like us. That lighting spell that hit you two a match for her magical signature and she is that girl's mother, Fate is her daughter as well." She was then surprised to see that Yu's eyes narrowed in anger and clenching his hands in rage. It seems that he suspected Fate's mother to be the mastermind here.
"I did hear Fate mention something about a mother." Nanoha uttered out, as Chrono continued his findings about her. "She was one of the heads of our energy corporations back in the day. She has decided to quit after a massive accident happened and got several court cases against her as well." Chrono finished, it is clear that someone of her capabilities would be difficult to handle and deal with here.
Yu then spoke up, "So we have the identity of who we are dealing with here, no offense to any of us. But how are we going deal with her if she can throw that much power at us at her beck and call?" He did have a point about that, but thankfully she can counter that argument as well.
"That much power is not so easily controlled and takes a lot of mana to use too, so she won't be able to pull something like that anytime soon thankfully, so for now you two go back and we will check out what we can and if we find anything we will update you guys on it." the kids accepted and left the ship, while Nitoh was still waiting, 'oh well might as well get some conversation at with him,' Lindy thought to herself as she drank some tea with Nitoh.
As Yu and Nanoha returned to see their other friends, they were immediately assaulted by them for requests of what happened on their misadventures. After the end of that fun little interrogation by them, they were then invited by Alissa over to their house for a little get-together of sorts. They even decided to bring Yuuno in as well while in his human form.
"Oh, that's right. I found an injured dog last night." Alissa spoke up, "It had orange fur and was quite large for any dog I have ever seen." Causing them to pause in the walk and look at her with incredulous eyes. They were quite sure the only dog they do know that was large and had orange fur was Fate's familiar; Alf.
"The dog also had a red gem on its forehead for some reason." Which caused their eyes to widen before Yu slapped his forehead for some reason while Nanoha giggled a bit as well, confusing the other girls there. "Of all the possible things that can occur. Alissa you just somehow rescued an alien mage's familiar somehow."
Before Yu took a strong amused tone now. "What was that about helping out criminals before Alissa?" Alissa's eyes widen at that as she struggled to explain herself to him. "H-h-how was I supposed to know that it was somehow a wanted criminal's familiar, I thought it was some kind of magical beast of sorts!"
"Somehow that does not make it any better, especially considering the fact you know about the dangers of the hidden world Alissa." Yu still spoke with major amusement at her, as the tomboy heiress stammered struggling to find a proper explanation of the sorts.
"Yu stop teasing her now! Alissa do you mind if we head over to your home immediately and see her?" Nanoha admonished Yu and also playfully slapping his shoulders as well.
While Suzuka was giggling at the whole situation here and Alissa quickly agreed to Nanoha's wishes thankful that the teasing has stopped for now. While Yu just shrugged and dashed over to her home to see why on earth was Alf doing there to begin with.
The girls, Yu, and Yuuno all pitched in to move Alf to the living room once they got into Alissa's mansion, and Yu decided to ready some snacks and Yuuno decided to help him out. While it was not necessary considering the fact that Alissa had maids. They found it useful to distract most of the main staff away from them while they interrogate Alf.
Chrono was not really happy about the fact that civilians knew about their operation but relented. Especially when it turns out that Nanoha and Yu already told them most of their stories and they were in the know due to their parent's work.
But for the moment the big dog was enjoying being in Suzuka's tender rubbing hands as Suzuka scratched her behind the ears. While Alf was telling them everything that she knew about Presea and what has happened as well. Apparently she had enough of her harming Fate and tried to attack her but failed miserably.
When Yu heard the full extent of how Fate was treated he was seething with rage on the inside while Knight himself found himself truly murderous for the first time since he awoken. But everyone did not notice due to the fact they were listening to what Alf had to say about her.
"And that is all I know unfortunately." Alf finished her story, while not so happy to deal with the TSAB, she decided to come clean with all that she knew about Presea, which does not do much other confirming the fact that Presea is the mastermind of the whole operation.
"So you and Fate have no idea as to why she is gathering the Jewel Seeds or even told you what it is for?" Chrono ask imploringly through their telepathic conversation. "No I have no idea why she plans to do with them. All I know is that she obsesses over them and punishes Fate whenever she fails or lose one of the Jewel Seeds to either the kids over here or one of you TSAB agents. I rebelled like I said but it was absolutely useless against that demon." Alf finished with a snarl.
There was silence for a moment till Suzuka spoke up and asked, "What do you and Yu intend to do Nanoha?" then they head something crumbling and saw that Yu was crushing the soda can in his hand and gave a scary smile. While he also spoke rather calmly which somehow made it all the more terrifying for everyone else as they had never seen Yu acted like this before.
"Well the most obvious thing that we are going to do Suzuka is that we are going to rescue Fate then take out her mother." Yu spoke rather calmly while Yuuno sighed knowing that Yu was the kind of guy to get hurt for his friends. "Knowing you it would be you ending up all injured just to help save that girl." Yuuno spoke with an uncharacteristic snort.
"Oh? So does that mean Nanoha has a rival for Yu's heart?" Alissa spoke and quickly regret it when she saw Nanoha glaring daggers at her and Yu turned his unsettling scary smile onto her as well.
"Now, now Alissa, making assumptions about people's relationship/ love life is absolutely prohibited." He ended with rather creepy smile that caused everyone else but Nanoha to pale, squeak, and retreat from the scene.
"But the major question now how do we get Fate to come out and let us rescue her?" Nanoha asked Yu as she was kind of the only person not to be affected by his scary smile right now. Which surprised and scared everyone as they can only think of one thing.
'Great first Yu is acting all demonic on us and now Nanoha's immune to it. Next thing is that she going to be a devil bride to the demonic groom; those two really are suited for each other.'
While Yu was thinking of a plan, he then remembered something. "Hey Nanoha you and Fate never really did get to finish that duel of yours right?" Surprised at the question but answering yes in reply. Yu gave a somewhat nervous smile now. "Well how about we finish that duel of yours except the stakes raised even higher than before?"
That took a while for Nanoha to register what Yu was saying and when she finally processed it, she glared at Yu along with Suzuka, Alissa, and Yuuno. "Hey if there was any other plan I don't hear you guys coming up with one right now." Yu defended himself as the others struggled to find an alternative but came up short on ideas.
"Yu that is extremely foolish and you are risking yourself for a possible stake. Ordinarily I would smack you after this operation but since it is downright foolish I think everyone here can make an exception and we all smack you right now. How about it every one?" Nanoha called out and everyone who cared agreed and all laid into the smack down of Yu's life at that moment; wow it sucks to be him right now.
"Sigh I just wish they did not have to smack me again before this powered keg starts. It has been over four days and they are still acting as though I just killed their pet puppy," Yu sighed as he had several slap marks and a bump courtesy of Yuuno amazingly enough.
The TSAB has set up a dimensional barrier around the coast Uminari, Yu's plan involved using Alf's connection to Fate to set up the duel. "In case you forgot that Jewel Seed is stuck to you like a lost puppy following its owner! Of course everyone is going to be upset with the fact you plan to give yourself up!" Yuuno shouted in frustration and smacked on the head.
"That is to be expected with bullheaded people like Yu, so mind smacking him in the head for me Yuuno?" During which Yuuno agreed and done so again to him, While Alf was rolling her eyes at their immaturity at the situation with a few bandages on her more critical spots.
"None of you guys are taking this seriously are you?" she asked and stated with some levels of resentment. To which Yu just shrugged and shook his head at what Alf thought about them.
"We are taking this seriously it is just that none of us are dealing with Fate here, but Nanoha is. I would have challenged Fate myself but Nanoha deserves to even the score; besides I believe in her capabilities." Yu stated with complete confidence.
"Furthermore she has one trump card that I help her prefect that she never used on any of you as well." Yu stated which cause some head to turn his ways curious as to what Nanoha's trump card could be.
"Oh so what is Nanoha's trump card?" Yuuno asked Yu "I am also curious as to what kind of ace she has up her sleeves." Chrono admitted as well which made it all the more frustrating when the young Rider just smiled and said "It's a secret."
The sealed off are of the coast was rather quiet for Nanoha's liking, but she knew this was her best opportunity to gather the remaining Jewel Seeds here. Also her best friend was at stake here as well!
While she did manage to tear into Yu for his foolishness, she knew it was the only plan they have and now the mana in the air changed. Ah! There she was, flying towards the chosen battlefield and now landing down here to fight.
"I see you arrived. While I know it is useless, is it possible for us to discuss this without any of us fighting here right now?" To which she shook her head, "If you know it was useless why try?" the emotionless response of the blonde girl asking.
"Something about courtesy according to Yu, just because it might appear that way doesn't make it so." She retorted and Yu was proud of that one.
Fate unfazed by that response, "Prepare yourself I don't care about discussions or anything like that, all I want are the Jewel Seeds." With that Fate aimed her staff at her and fired.
Nanoha quickly shot herself into the sky preventing being the one hit here, her quick reactions to dodging training with Yu helped her here.
Fate was just as relentless in their last duel, swinging her staff's scythe mood at her which she dodged once more and the second one was about to hit her till she put up a round shield spell.
Photon Lancer
Hearing the spell of the incoming lighting from her opponent's intelligence device gave her the time needed to dodge as she readied her own spell as well. Turning in midair she was ready now.
Divine Shooter
"Shoot!" as six orbs of pink magic then lashed out at her opponent, fate sensing the dangers it possessed turned to her scythe mood device and cut through several of it.
Unfortunately for Fate that served as a good distraction while Nanoha prepared another spell.
Flash impact
To which Nanoha then charged at Fate from behind and struck her heavily from the back during which. An explosion erupted causing Fate to fall to the ground before she recovered.
Before she widened her eyes as she then dodged another one of her Flash Impact spells. Really it was awesome of Yu to let her use and develop a melee spell based on Yu's Gravity impact kick.
Other than Yu everyone was kind of shocked by the sudden attacks of melee. While Yu's pride in his best friend remained strong in her.
"I have never seen that kind of spell before at all." Yuuno commented at Nanoha's Flash Impact.
"Of course you guys haven't, it is a rare melee spell that is a compressed mana spell that has the user flying at an accelerated pace to deliver the biggest impact. It is a spell based off one of my spells."
Seeing the other's confusion. "Come on guys I don't know any of your system's spells the only thing I could do during these days was act as her sparring partner. But I notice that she lacked any melee attacks so the best I could do aside from teaching her a style was to help her develop her own melee spells so it would be easier for her to use."
That is something that amazed all the people there at what he helped her accomplish. But still would it be enough to deal with in this situation? Time could only answer that now.
Fate felt some really annoying pain at her back as she struggled to regain control of the battlefield, forming a thunder bullet she smashed Nanoha with it.
Nanoha gave a yelp as she was impacted by it and was sent flying into the ocean. That hasty attack gave Fate a few seconds of breath before dodging another one of her beam spray.
Nanoha sighed, "I was hoping that attack stopped her for more than a couple of seconds." Raising Heart chirped in. She is more skilled than we thought possible, it will not be easy to defeat her.
"Maybe but we have a lot more tricks to show don't we Raising Heart?" Nanoha replied with a smile, seriously if it wasn't for the constant spars she had with Yu then she would not have been able to strike her as easily as she had.
"Come Raising Heart! Let us show Fate just how powerful we can be!" I am ready Master.
"I find it amazing that they are able to launch this many high level spells." Yu crowed at the two, from the group's perspective it looked like a firework display rather than an actual battle of sorts; with flashing displays of yellow and pink.
"You're keeping something from us aren't you?" Chrono asked Yu, causing them to turn to the rather serene rider.
"This battle will end soon, by the way how strong the barrier is right now? Because the spell will be rather powerful." Yu asked and deflected the main question.
"The barrier is double so don't worry anything short of an S class spell will not break through." Chrono assured Yu as h mused on that now.
"All right then add another barrier then please." Which shocked Yuuno as he turned to him. "Wait are you saying Nanoha's trump card is an S ranked bombardment spell?'" He asked in shock.
"Yep it is her ace in the hole." Yu grinned at them, which worried Alf a lot considering that not much can survive an S rank bombardment spell.
The usual stoic look on Fate's face was replaced by a scowl as she tried to overcome Nanoha in terms of power and magic. Despite how horrible her mother's been she still cared about her.
Even so that did not take away the feelings of guilt she has when she is fighting Nanoha or Yu, both of whom just want to help her out regardless of what she's done to them in the past.
She then stopped abruptly in midair which caught Nanoha by surprise, taking advantage of that she then shifted her device in Glaive mood and locked with four yellow cubes and ready her spell.
Using her device she was casting one of her most power spells, "Photon Lancer Phalanx Shift" as then dozens of lighting balls appeared and struck her down. While unknown to her Nanoha silently casted her strongest shield spell she could.
"Fire" and with that the strongest spell in her arsenal blasted Nanoha causing the girl to panic as the barrier started to show signs of breaking. Calling out one last spell she blasted her with "Spark End."
The spell consumed everything in its path parting water, destroying land, and all that remains of Nanoha's barrier. While she had accomplish what she needed to so there was a sharp pain in her heart as to what Yu would think as she harmed his best friend. But push it away for the sake of her mother.
Leaving her gasping for air as she used a lot of her energy to power them up and hopefully end this duel. Only to be completely shocked as Nanoha was completely unharmed save for some singe marks on her. 'Just how strong is her barrier spell?' she thought to herself.
This was bad for her, she used up most of her mana powering those spells and now she was practically running on fumes and Nanoha still appear to be fine regardless.
Are you fine master? Nanoha's body may show she is fine but on the inside she was feeling the impact of that spell allover her body. "I am fine Raising Heart." As she forced her hands to raise up and then shifted her device.
"Let's finish this." She declared as Raising Heart shifted to Cannon Mode.
Seeing the transformed device Fate panicked and rushed her to prevent her from firing whatever she's planning. Only to get stuck by a series of ribbons from Nanoha's restrict lock spell.
Smirking now she gather the energy into her device and readied the trigger as well. "Divine Buster." She first called out then more energy poured into her still growing attack.
Fate clenched and knew that she had to do whatever she can to survive, so she casted off most of her barrier jacket accessories and poured all her remaining energy into it to survive, working on the logic that she too should be nearing her limits as well.
She sighed in relief when it looked like it stopped but tense very soon when the spell seemed to be absorbing whatever mana there was in the air as she looked to where it was and paled in fear.
She couldn't do anything but look at that growing ball of pink mana in despair she had used up most of her mana to do her most powerful spell and now here was a really scary looking spell aiming at her.
Keeping Raising Heart in its cannon mode Nanoha took aim with her weapon. "By drawing all the scattered mana in the air left over from the spells we've been using, the strongest Divine Buster variation I created with help from Yu and Raising Heart!"
Starlight Breaker
"A long range bombardment spell," she could not help but gasp in horror. But she was not about to go down without a fight, she had to endure for her mother's sake. So she used most of her remaining mana from her barrier jacket and managed to form a multilayer barrier spell directly between her and Nanoha's Starlight Breaker.
"Take this! My full power! Starlight Breaker!" With the trigger pulled a single stream of pink shot out of the sphere before expanding and tearing apart the barrier spell with ease. And the only thing that Fate could remember before felling unconscious was seeing her mother's smile.
"Well glad I am not at the end of that thing for once." Yu muttered as his eyes twitched in annoyance at the memory of being Nanoha's moving target; maybe he can pay her back with more physical melee fighting spars, yes that sounded good to him.
The young Rider just tried ignoring how on earth, two girls his age manage to accomplish attacks that most Riders would hesitate to survive that; it was better for his sanity that he just ignore that completely.
"I think I am going to ignore everything that is going to happen so far today. So Yu is there any more surprise spells of mass destruction we miss?" As Yuuno slumped into the bench at the insanity that has just occurred.
"By the way Yu how on earth does Nanoha do that? It seems almost impossible for her to do so?" Yuuno asked with some trepidation. As Yu explained. "Nanoha's Starlight Breaker works by gathering all remaining energy in the air. So you can say it is best used at the end of a battle where high level mages use a dozen spells and having excess mana in the air."
"So Fate is okay right?" Alf asked with lots of worry in her voice as she seen the full power of that spell. "Worry not Alf, Nanoha made sure the best that Fate would suffer would be her Barrier Jacket loss and nothing more really."
And wouldn't you know it? There was an unconscious Fate in Nanoha's arms walking towards them. But she looked quite exhausted and covered in sweat and salt water here as well.
"I won." It was the only thing that Nanoha managed to breathe out with a smile on her face. As she felt really happy to settle their duel but also how she manage to go beyond her limits as well.
"Excellent work Nanoha, you deserve to rest now." He spoke up with a smile in her face as he rushed over to pick her while Alf was fussing over Fate. His response cause her eyes to shine and blush as she snuggled in closer to Yu's chest, as she thank him for it.
Naturally that is when all hell broke loose as clouds darken and purple lighting started striking at them, growling in frustration he tried to look for any way out and even asked Alf and Yuuno who were not able to do anything.
Now coming to a decision here, "Yuuno Alf when I tell you guys to run you will take Nanoha and Fate here with you Do. I. MAKE. MYSELF. CLEAR!" he shouted at them who only nodded in response as he handed Nanoha over to Yuuno.
Nanoha was completely scared for Yu especially when he makes that look in his face that he is going to find it annoying but accept it wholeheartedly. "Yu what are you doing?"
"What has to be done Nanoha." As he spoke with a grim determination as he prepared to deal with this only to be cut off by surprisingly Alf.
"Why are you doing this? You are just a kid why are you trying to take on the burden of the world by yourself here?" she couldn't understood why he chose to do so.
Yu can only give Alf a wry smile, "It is because I am a Kamen Rider that fights to protect, and I need no other reason than that." As he then shifted into his Earth mode and called out several barrier spells to protect them now.
"Now run you guys!" he shouted at them as the two familiars now run with an unconscious girl and one screaming girl crying out to him. But Yuuno turned back and faced him giving a serious look.
"You better come back to us alive otherwise I will research a ritual spell to bring you back so I can kick your butt myself." Chuckling at his threat as I so wittily replied, "Duly Noted ferret."
The barrier broke and for the second time in a week, much to his annoyance, he fell unconscious when he got struck by the lighting spell here.
Everyone on the ship was moving frantically especially since Yu went missing in the aftermath of that attack and everybody is doing all that they can to find him right now.
Nitoh was bringing Yu and Nanoha's parents and the kids onboard after what they have heard that has happen, and right now while Mayu and Haruto were worrying their minds out for Yu. Momoko and Shiro dashed to the medical room where Nanoha was being kept, with the kids in tow.
Currently Nanoha was trying to get out desperate to do something about Yu's disappearance, "I can't just sit here and do nothing Yuuno! Who knows what is happening to Yu right now!" She cried out rather worried.
Meanwhile Fate was coming around to and notice that she was in the medical room with handcuffs, but overheard Nanoha and she too was worried about him while Alf was fussing over her a bit. But she was mostly healed up but emotionally fragile from her loss right now to do anything now.
Then all of a sudden Shiro popped in and hugged his daughter while searching her for any possible injuries. While completely ignoring his daughter's protests only to be pulled back by Momoko. While the girls came in and helped out Nanoha the best they could.
While Fate was watching this, she could not help but be jealous of the fact that Nanoha has a good amount of people supporting her. The only person to actually be like that for her, was Alf and that was because she was her familiar.
Then Shiro started lecturing at Nanoha for doing such dangerous stunts while not informing them about it. Then he told her to tell him about so they could plan for it and stuff like that.
"Okay dad I understand but can you guys tell me what has happen to Yu?" she asked desperately. "Unfortunately we have no idea where he is but we can assume that Presea kidnapped him through her lighting spell of doom." Shiro told his panicking daughter.
"Don't fret Nanoha, we will do everything within our power to bring Yu here safely." Shiro tried to reassure his daughter, right now it worked but he knew they will have to deploy to work on that front as well. Right now Lindy has deployed a squad but he did not have high hope considering Presea's intellectual capabilities and thinking.
Yu was really starting to hate the fact that he's waking up in familiar territory as he groggily woke himself up and saw himself in unfamiliar territory. Not only that he saw the woman Presea sitting on her throne with seven Jewel Seeds floating around.
'Presea.' He woke up with a vengeance as he remembered who was responsible for Fate's suffering. While the woman looked completely smug and walked up to him. "Well aren't you quite the resilient one boy?" as she drawled out the letter boy as if it was some sick amusement.
"What can I say? We Riders are made of sterner stuff after all, we do fight monsters for a part time living you know?" Yu hated to be sarcastic as it could get him killed but sarcasm was better than seething rage right now.
That seemed to amuse her a lot. "Indeed it seems like it, but you won't be able to do anything right now. After all, my failure of a daughter told me all about your magic and look here the rings are here far away from you." As she showed me all my rings and angered me when she insulted Fate.
Ha, jokes on her. Just because they are far away from me does not mean I can't access then, the rings have a strong connection to me after all. So I can get the ring closer to me, Flash and Teleport would do greatly for now just need to make sure she does not see me getting it.
Unknowns to her about his thought process, the base alarm went off and she so casually ordered their elimination. Then just to spite them further, she opened up communication with the battleship. Naturally Lindy was there with a frown with everyone else there in tow.
"You sure have some nerve contacting us after what you did to my team." Lindy spoke which Presea naturally ignore and look as though, the whole world was a play for her. "Maybe you should not have entered my sanctuary in the first place admiral."
"Now then as you know I have one of your own here, so I will make it simple give me the Jewel Seeds and I will give you back the boy." Presea put out a deal that most would do but cannot do. "You know full well we cannot do that at all Presea." The response she got from Lindy.
"Then I guess our negotiations have come to an end." Presea was going to shut down communications till she caught sight of Fate, "Well, well if it isn't the little failure." She spoke with a scornful smile.
The words naturally caught Nanoha and her friends by surprise while I and my family were glaring at her. "How can you say that to Fate? She's your daughter!" Nanoha cried out to her.
Presea snorted at that, "no she isn't, she just a failed experiment of mine. But since this is our last meeting Fate I'll show you what I mean." And like that I got a huge sense of foreboding.
The entire crew just waited with bated breaths on the transmission as I was dragged on the floating platform prison of her, and I managed to get the rings I needed just have to wait now. What I saw next stunned me into complete silence as everyone else was gasping.
Inside the room was an identical looking girl to Fate floating inside a tube. And Fate herself was shocked beyond belief as her legs started buckling at the sudden revelation. Which Presea then took sweet pleasure in looking at as she affectingly put her hands on the tube.
"As you can see this is my real daughter Alicia. All you ever were was a replacement for her. I gave you her body and her memory but that was not enough. All you had was her face, and you were nothing more than a pathetic FAILURE!"
At that Fate finally collapsed in pure despair as Nanoha and the girls tried to comfort her to the best of their abilities. But I was feeling something I never felt in my life so far, PURE UNADULTED RAGE AND ANGER AT THIS SICK MONSTER!
Lindy couldn't do any more than just sigh, "So the reports were true." To which my parents and Nanoha's parent just looked at her for an explanation. "The disaster at where Presea worked took her biological daughter's life and ever since then she focused all her research on cloning and resurrecting the dead. It was a special project called Project Fate, a special process to imprint memories on the clone they were based off of."
Presea just chuckled at that "It seems you done your research well admiral. But there is something wrong with it after all. Even though the clone receives the memories they have none of their habits, quirks, behavior, and thought process. They are nothing more than a broken doll."
And like that my rage broke out. "So because of that you're abandoning Fate? DON"T YOU DARE SCREW WITH ME! Which caught the attention and shock of everyone that was there.
"So what if Fate did not turn out like Alicia she is still your daughter and now you are treating her like trash? She's your daughter no matter how you look at it. Even if she's a product of magic and science, she is made from your genetics, you gave birth to her; SHE'S STILL YOUR DAUGHTER! If I was anything like Alicia then I'd wish I stay dead so I don't have to see what kind of monster you are!"
Presea just scowled at me while everyone else was looking at me in surprise, while Fate was looking at me in awe and my parents look really proud of me. "Oh so what right do you have to criticize how I treat my creations?" And like that I have a retort to whatever she says about Fate.
"Because my late aunt was also a product of science and magic as well!" I declared proudly and my parent smiled widely at me while Shiro and Momoko looked on in understanding while everyone else looked confused. Presea was shocked which means time to escape now.
I used my natural connection to the rings and called out teleport to move me out which shocked Presea even further as I was right in front of her. I sucker punched her and use the Flash ring to blind her and took all seven remaining Jewel Seeds as I heard her screaming in rage.
I took one last look at the communication board to see Fate. "Fate it matters not how you were born! You are still Fate, that amazingly skilled mage that has done everything in the name of family! But as you fall in despair I will become your FINAL HOPE!" I spoke with such conviction that Fate started smiling and blushing a bit, before I ran to get the rest of my rings.
The line was then suddenly cut off as everyone on the ship started scrambling in panic, Haruto and Mayu were checking their rings. While Shiro was doing last minute checkups on the Birth Driver that Kougami brought for him. While everyone was readying themselves, Fate walked up to Lindy.
"May you take off the handcuffs? I wish to be part of the rescue team for Yu?" It's something that took the captain by surprise but she smiled and undid the shackles as she prepared herself along with Nanoha and Chrono; both of whom are joining to be part of the rescue team as well.
Also unknown to everyone as they were scrambling about, the Blood Warrior fire ring started to shine a bit as if anticipating the evolution of its supposed wielder. Which will turn the tide of the battle to Yu's favor in hand.
Smash! As much as I hate to admit it, I am in trouble here. Presea was clearly an experienced mage with dangerous power at her sides. It is no wonder Fate was so strong, but I cannot back down now!
I made a promise to be Fate's Final Hope, I will win and beat her. Then I shifted from my Fire mode to my Wind mode, then once more the Solomon's Cane shifted from sword to crossbow.
Then I shot multiple air bullets at her which Presea retaliated with a barrier spell of her own. Then she charged her arm into a Photon Bullet which I blocked with my own Defend spell.
She was strong and skilled, so I started to fly around activating a lock on spell and dodged various Photon Lancers of her own though several managed to hit me in my right leg.
I marched through the pair and fired the magic bullet to which she dodged and smirk at me only to be sent flying a bit as the various air bullets scattered and hit her from all the sides preventing her from moving too much.
Then I charged my Bow gun to my belt as I then took aim and my mana compressing I fired it at Presea and blasted her and knocked her several walls down.
Then she came blasting out of the rubble with lighting gathering around her as she bonded me during distraction and fired Photon Burst at me. As I then saw white and was knocked back hard.
The pain was aching all over my body and I shifted to my Earth for best defense but still lacking the speed I have and my bow gun shifted into a Halberd of sorts.
Water was out of the question as lighting is only strengthened or travels alongside water. She sneered and flew up before casting another Photon Burst at me which I managed to ward off with my defend Earth variation spell.
Then I used my big ring to extend my arm holding my Halberd and struck her down, who surprised at the spell I demonstrated. Then I smashed her with the halberd downwards only to be blocked by a round shield spell.
Then she forcefully pushed back the halberd and then rushed to me and struck me with a Photon bullet to my ribs. Sending me flying back and crashing into a wall while I writher in pain.
I moaned as I struggled to get up only to be knocked down and bonded by lighting around me. I sweated badly when I saw that she was preforming the same spell that knocked me out the first two times.
Panicking, I barely managed to get to my Defend Ring and use the metal around me to conduct and take most of the lighting away from me, but a good chunk still blasted me from her Thunder Rage.
Even though most of the damage was negated the lighting still hurt me and my previous injuries did not help as I teleported away behind a pillar catching my breath. It was difficult to deal with this woman, she had so much mana at her disposal and the skills and speed needed to use them.
"Come out, come out wherever you are. If you surrender the Jewel Seeds to me I promise to grant you a quick and pleasant death, otherwise I am going have to torture you before ending you."
Oh great, she was threating and taunting me right now trying to make me lose before I plan to do anything remotely useful against her, well this was just a fantastic situation to be in. But I still have to refuse despite how pleasant that sound Presea.
Okay let's see what options are available to me I can either A. retreat not an option, B. charge in recklessly, and once again not an option, Or C. plan ahead and see what I can do to hold her off, or more miraculously beat her.
I choose option C, now I can teleport and her from behind then bind her while I ready my gravity kick. Yeah that sounds like a nice plan right there without me dying immediately right now.
Teleporting right there Presea tried to turn around but I already restricted her movements with the chain and ready my gravity kick and jumped at her.
Kick Strike Finale Earth Rumbling Burst Fabulous!
Then I blasted her with that kick and send her flying into the rubble then she got up once more and made dozens of Photon Lancers at me and restricted my movement again and ready a Thunder Rage and blasted me away.
…In the end all I could was annoy her to no end, it was useless for someone like me to even consider matching her strength and level. Damn it! Why can't I do anything right? Why am I so pathetically weak right now? As I was laying on back sizzling from the last barrage of attacks. As I struggled to stay awake from the last assault, thankfully she can't overuse it.
As if hearing his despair and cry of weakness, Nanoha raised her head after she blasted another machine out of the way. She and everyone that could come to assist were making great progress.
But the problem was, there was too many machines in the way as Haruto and Mayu kept blasting many machines or striking them down while Fate and Chrono were launching several A to AA rank spells, while my dad is drilling through them in the Birth driver and Yuuno was busy protecting us.
I don't know why but I could hear Yu's cry of frustration as clear as sky right now, I remembered how despite being okay with being an assistant. He still wanted to do more right for me.
I then remembered what Kougami said to me. "Won't you believe in him Nanoha?" That's right! I can believe in him, He's Soma Yu. My best friend, the Final hope, and most of a Kamen Rider, I can believe in him.
As I dodged another blast from the machines and blasted him away I called out to him, 'Yu don't worry, and you can do it because I believe in you. So no matter what Yu get back up! So I started fight again hoping to reach to him in time.
As if hearing her encouragement I woke up once more as I teleported away from Presea. Nanoha believes in me, I thought to myself. That's right I couldn't give up here I still have one more option!
Then responding to my desire the Jewel Seed final detached from me and asked me. I am #VIII what is your deepest desire wish seeker? So I responded back in kind, "I wish for the Blood Warrior ring for me to use." I said without any hesitation.
The Jewel Seed was confused by it at first but nevertheless still granted my desire and there it was floating in front of me. 'Host stop don't do it you cannot handle its power just fall back!' Knight shouted and desperate to stop me.
'Knight I can't do that you know full well why I cannot afford to stop right now!' I spoke firmly into my mind. 'My host if you do so you may not come out of the rage so please stop this.'
Knight pleaded once more with me. "No! I can't stop now that woman Presea made Fate sad! She broke her! I refuse to turn back that is my way as a Kamen Rider!'
Knight taking in what I said finally accepted it. 'Very well my host, no Soma Yu! Take the power of the Blood Warrior and March forward!' He ordered me and then I slowly walked out to where Presea was standing.
My stance firm. My heart solid, my eyes facing her, and there was no doubt in my mind anymore. So I move the ring above my driver and there she was surprised by my new ring and was about to strike. But the flame got too intense for her and fall back as I Henshin!
Change Now! Blood Warrior! Flame Burn-Burn, Burn! Burn, Burn, Burn, Burn!
My bodysuit remained the same, as my armor features started growing and changing and now the armor that was once fiery red is now blood red and I gained armor bits aver my legs and boots and more exquisite armor detail over me and my helm now has additional rune marks and the knightly visor glowed red with two horns growing on the side of my helm. This was Warlock's Fire Blood Warrior Mode!
Then I picked up my cane and initially it shifted to the sword for default but the started growing till it split into two duel rapier swords in my hand. I can feel the power flowing through me and best of all I am still sane. But I was feeling pretty furious right now!
As Presea finally looked at the sight of me she was shocked and annoyed at me. Then I picked up my left sword and pointed it at her. "Kamen Rider Warlock! Now it's no… Let The Magic Begin!" I declared to myself and to my opponent as well.
"Fool! Just because you have a new type of barrier jacket does not mean that you are much stronger!" Presea sneered at me as she pulled several Photon Bullets at me and then I blocked all of them immediately.
I then dashed while she was caught off guard and slice her and dealing some damage and breaking through her round Shield spell. I then twisted as she blasted another Photon bullet and kicked her in the side knock her a few feet away from me.
Then I dashed at her one more time and this time I manage to knock her device out of her hands and kicked her back. Now Presea was panicking because even though she is skilled and powerful she still need her device to perform some of her more complex and powerful spells.
So I effectually sealed off her most of her vast arsenal of spells leaving her rather defenseless. Then used my sword to keep the device there as I dashed in with my limbs knocking her, punching, kicking, jabbing, and fighting her with all my might.
She was desperate as she only has the Photon Bullets spells available to her. Punched her in the sides dodged another bullet kicked her head then dodge then jabbed in the ribs then swept her legs off the ground then side kicked her.
Now sufficiently weakened and without much for her to work with. I first bind her then, I charged my kick and focused all my mana into my legs then I jumped and aimed my kick at her. It went off with a satisfying boom and Presea was knocked out from the conflict.
Now finally done with the conflict I took a deep breath and then sat down on a broken pillar just resting for now. Then the door to my left blasted open and I quickly stood up on guard with my blades.
Turns out it was the rescue squad, when they saw me and the unconscious Presea the reactions were mixed. Chrono, Fate and Nanoha were amazed at what I did especially since I achieved a new evolution. While my parents and Shiro were smiling at me.
I couldn't say more really. "Hey guys what took you so long?" I joked and everyone start chuckling a bit.
Well this has been a hectic day so far, first me and Mayu were cleaning up the criminals as usual then we find out Yu's been kidnapped. Then it turns out the poor girl Fate was being used, only to be defended by Yu who clearly remembered what I told her him about Koyomi and became the Final Hope like I was. Then we had to fight through an endless amount of robots intent on destroying us, then we found Yu in his own evolved state taking out Presea, which could not make me any more proud, now the floating tube here.
"She's been here for quite some time and unfortunately she's dead." Chrono finished his analysis sadly. "No she can't be… dad you can do something right? I mean you are the final hope after all?" Yu asked sadly and pleading of me.
While it is difficult there is a way to do so. But that would mean using the Hope Ring Koyomi left for me. Oh well Koyomi wouldn't want me to dwell on the past, yes I think she would have like it like this. Giving her life to save another.
I smiled at my son and reassured him I can take care of it. Mayu seemed to catch on to my train of thought as well as she linked her arm with me. "You need more mana to help complete this."
I nodded and told everyone to stand back and I put my arm on the tube where Alicia was and focused on the Hope ring and then mana flowed out of me and Mayu and into the girl. At first it seems it wasn't working then Chrono's scanners started to detect a heartbeat.
So I quickly grabbed her out of the tube and the girl was waking and blinking her eyes and coughing only to be confused to be seen around total strangers. And everyone besides my son and wife were shocked beyond belief.
"I told you Yu I can handle It." causing my son to smile and Mayu to whack me in the shoulder. While the Hope ring was gone now Koyomi will always live on, especially in the now alive Alicia.
"You know you Riders are just miracle workers you know that? A young Rider stopping a very powerful mage and stealing the remaining Jewel Seeds and returning all of them and bringing back the dead as well." Lindy mused on as Nitoh can only smirk at her.
"Of course Captain, we Riders are made to be the defenders of people that will accomplish the impossible to protect people." And boy if that wasn't true about them then he go three weeks without mayo.
"True but you have to admit that these kids are adorable when they are cuddling like that!" Lindy gushed at the sight of Yu, Nanoha, Fate and now Alicia in a tiny group hug looking content. "Yeah you got a picture of that?" Nitoh asked Lindy and she nodded enthusiastically.
She was honestly amazed that this ended without any serious trouble here. She really should set aside some of her off days to come visit this world more often, especially to talk with Nitoh here. He is really a heck of a guy to talk to.
Of course that has to wait when all of a sudden a gray mirror like portal appear before them. And much to her confusion an old man wearing the TSAB uniform stepped out and seeing his markings, she was dealing with the Grand Marshal here!
"Grand Marshal what are you doing here?" she really could not have seen this one coming at all as the old man just smiled at her and nodded to Nitoh who also looked gob smacked as well.
"As you may know that this world has many hidden secrets here as well, please ring everyone that was involved in this case here please so I can tell the full story."
Nodding in shocked reply she ordered everyone and got everyone involved here and one hour later, everyone was here and the Veteran Riders seemed absolutely shocked to see him.
"As you may know I am the Grand Marshal of the TSAB, one of the two founders of the organizations as well. Some of you riders may note my similarity to Owner and Station Manager of the sands of time."
And like that it was clear to the Riders while the rest of us were staring in shock as one of the founder came from this world.
"My other colleague is not available at all so I have been left to do the work here. And it is perhaps for the best as he only cares about his own personal amusement."
"And I must say that all of you performed splendidly on this assignment that I now must ask the Soma family, Nanoha, and Fate." Grabbing their attention as they listen to his request.
"Would any of you like to join up with the TSAB? And do not worry Fate I will see to it you will get a pardon regardless of whether or not you join. After all, no child should suffer what you have." He spoke rather kindly and helpfully to the young girl here.
"None of you have to decide now obviously but the choice is up to you. By the way I will be heading back to our Headquarters for now Captain Lindy. So I will be able to assist in the trial."
The man finished what he was saying then left through the same Gray Mirror portal he entered in. "Well either way I won't be able to see you guys for while have to be a witness for Fate's trial after all." Yu spoke up reminding them of what is just happened.
"So you are leaving now then Yu?" Nanoha shifted as this might be the last time she will be able to see him for a while.
"Yes Nanoha it's true, I have to be a witness there and my parents are interested to see what I can do with some of their devices and magic. But don't worry Nanoha I will video-conference every now and then."
Nanoha can only smile at his promise and look to the side as she saw Alicia and Fate talking as well. Really the Kamen Riders were made of pure miracles indeed. Furthermore Presea is getting treatment from some of the locals here and will make a full recovery where she will get help. Then she will be sent back to the TSAB to face justice.
She then walked up to the girls and Alicia noticed and nudged her shoulder to where she was. So she took of one of her ribbon and gave it to Fate and the other one to Alicia.
"I know our times as friends were short but I like to give guys a sign of our strong friendship." Surprised at it they both accept it and both of them took their off too and gave it to her as well.
"Take ours as well Nanoha, thanks for being there and my sister." Fate and Alicia both smiled as they enjoyed the rather tender moment going on.
"I may not have known you guys for long, but I would like to say you are good people." Alicia spoke up.
"I am just glad you three girls managed to work out any major issues you had you know." Yu spoke up, then she got a mischievous idea and she gave them a look asking and both gave her a look accepting it.
Then all of a sudden she pouncing Yu and shouted to the other two. "Come on you two grab him!" which the other two did as she said and Yu was struggling to get out now.
Yu was confused then he turned blood red as Fate, Alicia, and herself all kissed him. Now giggling at the now stammering boy they also found out that the Nitoh managed to get a photo of it much to their joy.
"I will see you guys later! So don't forget about me Yu, my best friend!" Nanoha shouted as Yu then regathered his standing and could only gasp at what happened to him just now, while Knight was on the floor laughing hysterically at him. He could only look dumbfounded at their daring.
Not for the first time Hayate just sighed as Yu will no longer be here with her.
"Master is there any problem?" A rose haired woman asked in concern whose name was Signum. "No Signum there is no problem now come on let's grab some dinner before Shamal ruins it again." She said jokingly.
Signum made a strong face at that, especially the disaster Shamal has managed to do. How she gave birth to a abomination while cooking will remain unknown to her and the rest of the group.
