How long has she been out?

How long has she been sleeping?

How long has it been since she was kidnapped?

How long has it been when Jail whipped her?

How long has it been when she last heard Nanoha's voice?

Fate opened her eyes just to meet darkness. She was blindfolded and her mouth was closed by duct tape. Her body and head hurts. She tried moving around but there was a heavy thing on her.

"Do you think they have us on track?" one of the numbers asked.

"I am sure not. The police are bunch of idiots. They wouldn't think that we would hide behind the school."

Fate got pissed when she heard that remark. She moved around in order to get rid of the person sitting on top of her. After moving so much, she was successful in getting rid of the person sitting on her. She got kicked as a punishment for what she did. She was useless and powerless. She suddenly heard muffles which obviously came from Nanoha. Fate panicked; Nanoha is in trouble and she can't do anything about it. She heard whips, the sound of whips and Nanoha's muffles. Her blindfold came off and saw that The Numbers were ganging up on Nanoha. One of the numbers took of Fate's tape on her mouth.

"Enjoyed the show?"

"Bastards, don't touch her."

"Fate-chan?" Nanoha called. "Fate-chan, where are you?" Nanoha cried. Nanoha was still blindfolded.

"Nanoha" Fate shouted. "Do what you desire to me, just leave her out of this."

"History repeats itself you know." Uno grinned.

"I can't believe Jail was just behind their school!" Signum exclaimed as she drives fast on the streets. When she heard the news from Shamal, she was surprised. There was also a report of a van being stolen near the Fate's school, it can't be coincidence. Signum drove fast to the demolished building behind Fate's school.

When they arrived the building, there were no vans or people sighted. Signum cursed when Jail left. Once they leave the area, it would be difficult to find Jail; there is even a chance that Jail won't show up anymore since he had Fate in his hands. Signum called Lindy that they have left the building.

"The smell of smoke is still here. They must have just left." Signum said. "Everyone, we are going to chase Jail down."

"We got footage of Jail's stolen van. Shamal, it was last seen at intersection near the station, as of 11 PM." Zafira said.

"I'll call Signum and Lindy."

"If they keep on going to this track, they will leave the city north." Zafira gasped. "A van is heading to the port. This van looks like the one that was stolen byJail via reports. Shamal, which of these two is the real one?"

"What? Are you serious?"Arf said in surprise.

"I am! I am not joking. There are two trucks, one going north and the other going to the port." Zafira said. One of officers sent me a footage where in two numbers were stealing a van and there is no doubt that it is this one. As for the other van, well that is the one that they mostly use."

"This makes things difficult. We can just track both of the trucks down. Let's just hope that Signum and Lindy catches up with them." Shamal said.

Signum was ordered to chase the truck going north while Lindy was ordered to chase the one going to the port. Two vans were being chased and only one of those vans has Nanoha and Fate. Officers were sent out on duty to inspect the ship at the port and to chase the vans. After minutes of trying to catch up with them, they finally caught up. The area was secured and no people were evacuated. The police had permission to fire anytime. "Fire!" shouted the leader to their squad. They fired their guns mainly on the tires to flatten it. They were on war with a mad scientist and someone from Fate's horrible past. A bullet passes through the air and hits the tire. The occupants of the van immediately went out of the vehicle with faces in disguise.

"Freeze!Hands up on the air." Signum immediately went out of her car and pointed a gun on the people who went out. "Where are Nanoha and Fate?"

There were three people in all. All of them removed their head masks and revealed themselves as Sein, Sette, and Nove.

"Where are Fate and Nanoha?" Signum approached them slowly and asked while pointing the gun at them; the other officers also copied what Signum did. "Drop any weapons you have."

Nove smirked. "Sure." Nove took out something from her pocket and dropped it. The moment it dropped, smoke came out from it; sounds of punches and footsteps were heard. When the smoke cleared out, the numbers vanished, with the weapons of the officers who were beaten up. Signum cursed under her breath and reported that the numbers got away and will most likely go back to the others. After their escape, the officers made a round of investigation around the area to make sure it is secure. All Signum can do now is hope that the others are okay.

Lindy and her company were able to get into the port and chase after the van. The port was said to be akin to a maze so they should follow the van closely. They fired their guns and aimed for the either need to stop that van or stop that van. They have no choice but to stop that van from moving, save the two children that were held captive and catch Jail. One of the officers reported that the other officers got in the ship and has already investigated it but was knocked out by some numbers at the ship, namely Cinque and Due. They also got Signum's report that Nove, Sein, Sette may were on their way at their area.

Lindy got frustrated by their reports. Signum let the other numbers escape and the officers they sent to the ship were wiped out. It is only a matter of time till the numbers group together. Lindy's car was tilling chasing the van of the numbers. The van was closing to the ship and was ready to board it. Everything went so fast, the van immediately boarded the ship. The ship was preaparing for its leave and honked. Lindy asked the driver to keep going, even if the ship was a meter away from the port. The other cars stopped when they saw the ship moving away but Lindy's car kept on going till it jumped out of the port and landed on the ship safely. Four of them got on the ship. The occupants of the car got out of the car with their guns and saw their men on the floor. Jail's other men were also wiped out but there were no signs of the numbers. Lindy suggested splitting into pair and investigating the area; the two officers were to examine the deck while Lindy and Vita were to explore inside the ship.

The two found a doorway leading downstairs; the two entered it with wary. While on patrol, Vita already made contact with Signum for reinforcements, they are only able to get one helicopter..The further they go down, the more audible screams were heard. The two knew whose those screams were from so they ran downstairs. When they reached the end, the two took cover and took a peek on what was happening inside the room. They peeked inside the slightly opened door and saw Fate was being physically abused. Lindy, as an officer, no a mother, especially a mother of Fate, can't bear to see her daughter to get hurt like this.

"Vita, back me up. We are going in." Lindy readied her gun and inspected her other things. "Judging by how fast Signum can be, they will be here in a few minutes so let's raid."

Lindy immediately opened the door and shooted at the numbers. Vita aided Lindy and took her gun out. Some bullets hit the numbers in the room. Jail was nowhere to be seen in the room. The two entered the big room with caution. The room was wide and was filled with machines and other medical instruments. For a door so small, the room on it is so big. There was another door at the back; the two thought that Jail was staying there for a meantime. The two of them walked with wary towards Nanoha and Fate.

Vita stopped her tracks when she felt that her cheek was scratched. She looked behind her and saw an injured Cinque who shot her cheek. She turned around to return fire but then she saw that Lindy was suddenly on the ground. She looked over her shoulder and saw Quattro behind her; Quattro tried to punch her but thanks to her little height, she was able to dodge it by one, the numbers appeared. Quattro, Cinque, Due, and Otto surrounded them. They attacked Vita and Lindy and injured them. Both parties were injured but the enemy team is still has the upper hand. Both of them stood back to back and guarded each other.

"Hey, how long till Signum and the other arrives?" Lindy asked. "At this rate, we will end up being experimented on."

"Now you're complaining about being experimented on. If you didn't charged in then we wouldn't be in trouble." Vita said. "But I respect your bravery on saving your daughter." Vita smiled. "Knowing Zafira's speed… he would be here in a minute."

"Then we should just stand like this for a minute." Lindy smirked.

"You are going to get yourself killed, Old Lady." Vita said while she ran towards Cinque with her mallet. Lindy also took action.

Sooner or later, Zafira and Signum arrived with some officers behind them. As the little war rages inside the room, Uno and Wendi snuck in to retrieve Fate and Nanoha. Zafira spotted their action; he punched and kneed this opponent's stomach he was fighting with. When she was on the ground, Zafira ran to where Uno and Wendi were. Signum saw Zafira ran towards Fate. Signum left her opponent and followed Zafira. Zafira tackled Wendi out of his way. Signum did the same to Uno.

"Lindy! We got Fate and Nanoha, clear a way for us." Signum shouted.

Both of them untied Nanoha and Fate; as Signum untied Fate's chain, Due hits Signum's head with a bat, making her fall unconscious.

"We don't need that girl." Uno said. Uno then shouted Wendi's name. Wendi punched the distracted Zafira and proceeded to Fate who was still slighlty tied up. Uno and Wendi took Fate away and ran away to the back door.

Zafira went beside Signum. Signum's head was bleeding; Signum woke up after Fate was taken away.

"How long was I out?" Signum asked

"Only for a minute." Zafira answered. "Lindy, Fate is -" Zafira stopped his sentence when he looked over his shoulder. Lindy was nowhere to be found. Zafira face palmed.

"Seems like she already took action." Signum said as she stood up.

"Hey guys, I am like fighting four of them here." Vita said as she dodges the attacks of the four numbers.

"Let's finish business here." Zafira said as he punched his fists together.

When Lindy saw Uno and Wendi ran to the back door, she followed them. Lindy was firing bullets on both of them but was still careful not to hit Fate. Lindy was able to hit Wendi on her feet, thigh and shoulder while Uno was still not hit. Wendi stopped her tracks while Uno ran away with Fate on her back.

"I'll be you opponent old hag!" Wendi shouted.

"Don't call me old!" Lindy shouted back as she ran towards Wendi and just pushed her hard on the wall. Lindy ran pass Wendi and left her there. Lindy was able to catch up with Uno. There was only one path that stair lead; it was at the deck of the ship. Lindy tried her best catching up with Uno. Eventually, they were on the deck. Uno was running towards the helicopter where Sein and Sette were. The other numbers that Signum let go were here now. Uno entered the helicopter. Nove arrived and stopped Lindy her tracks. The helicopter has now started and was ready for lift off. Lindy was unable to stop Nove and the helicopter finally took off.

Zafira, Signum, and Vita weren't able to defeat the remaining numbers at the laboratory for they retreated. Signum was ordered to go back and to get treated with Nanoha. Zafira and Vita went to where Lindy was.

When Vita and Zafira arrived at the scene, Lindy was incapacitated on the ground and no numbers were found in the scene. The two saw the helicopter flying away.

"Lindy, where is Fate?" Zafira asked. Lindy just frowned and looked that she was about to cry.

"You don't mean… Fate is in that helicopter?" Vita said nervously as she pointed at the helicopter, flying away from the ship. Lindy nodded and tears came out from her eyes.

"I wasn't able to save her. After saying about wanting to save her, I couldn't save her even from Jail. I am a failure." Lindy cried.

Suddenly, they felt a strong gust of wind and saw another helicopter, speeding through the clouds. It was one of their helicopters. Lindy's phone rang and she answered it.

"Mom, I heard the situation." Chrono said through the phone. "I'm with Amy, Signum, and Arf. Don't ask why Arf is here, she just wants to die in the mayhem."

"Hey! I am here to save Fate, not to get in you way!" A voice from the phone said.

"Anyways, we will save Fate mom. Even if I hate her attitude, I'll save her. I know that you'll look old from crying if Fate wasn't here." Chrono said.

"Like, how many times will you guys say that I am old?!" Lindy complained as she sitted from her lying position. "I've been told that I am old a few times this day. I won't forget this! If you weren't able to save Fate, I'll punish you!" Lindy said.

"We'll save her."

The call ended. The three were relieved when they saw the helicopter. They were glad about Chrono's capability and fast decisions.

"Do you think he can do it?" Zafira asked.

"Don't worry, Amy is there with him. I believe in them." Lindy smiled.

Another helicopter came to get the three officers. Thus, the ship was left behind.

As the helicopter landed on the port, Shamal greeted them. Shamal told them that Nanoha only had minor scars on her body and it will take time for it to heal.

After Nanoha's wounds were tended, she was sent to the hospital where Shamal works part time. Shamal tended their wounds and scratches.

"Lindy, you do know that Chrono chased after Jail." Shamal asked her.

"Yes."

"Are you not worried at all?"

"Don't worry, he has Amy with her." Lindy smiled. "I am sure he will do his work properly.

In the helicopter

"I can't believe you are letting a girl do all the work Chrono, I am disappointed in you." Arf said. "Letting Amy do all the work." Arf sighed.

"I don't know how to drive a helicopter. What do you want to happen? Crash on the sea and die?"

"I didn't say that!"

Arf and Chrono continued to argue while Signum formulated a plan. She told Amy to use guns that was armed on the helicopter. Amy was against the idea, firing the gun will put Fate in more danger than she is now. Signum kept on pestering Amy to do what she said so in the end, Amy gave up and fired the guns. The sound of the firing guns halted the argument of the two.

The other helicopter slowed down and its movements became disarray. They were able to catch up with the other helicopter. They were able to secure the top place while Jail's helicopter is dodging the bullets from above. The numbers opened their door and fired at the helicopter. Even with those bullet exchange, Signum took a risk. Signum jumped off from the helicopter with a rope tied on her. She basically did a bungee between two helicopters. Amy lowered the helicopter so that Signum's bungee end was exact to where the entrance of the helicopter. As that happened, Signum got in the helicopter and cut her rope. Only Sein, Sette, Uno, and Jail were there. Uno was drivig the helicopter while Jail was beside him. Signum slashed Sein and Sette with her sword on their stomach. She also shot Jail and Uno so the helicopter wobbled when Uno got distracted from her driving. Above, Chrono and Arf readied the rope ladder for Signum to climb up on when she retrieves Fate. Signum took Fate and carried her by her shoulder. She jumped the helicopter and grabbed the ladder. Chrono amd Arf worked together to pull up Signum. Amy drove away immediately to get Fate medical treatment.

"Father... They took Fate away." Uno commented. "Sein and Sette are in a dying state."

Jail sighed with disnay. "Just meet up with the others."

Uno drove away to their base.

Everyone didn't leave the battle unscathed. Everyone was getting treatment inside the hospital. Everyone was grateful no one suffered major injuries that can cost a life.

Fate was treated in the ambulance while it drove its way to the hospital. Lindy and the Wolkenwrittee were in the ambulance. Fate had injuries everywhere and three of her ribs were broken due to the kicking of the numbers. Fate was in the same hospital where Nanoha was immediately treated upon entering the hospital.

Nanoha's family visited her afer they got a call from Shamal. Lindy was scolded a lot ny Shiro when he knew that Lindy kept this a secret from him. Nanoha woke up when her family visied her while Fate was still being treated. Nanoha pleaded to se Fate but they won't allow a frail, injured girl like her to go out, she still needs treatment after all.

It was already 6 am when everyone got treated and were healthy. Their injuries might take a while to heal but they are thankful that there were major injuries that may cost a tortures were done but the culprit was still out there, maybe formulating a new plan on taking revenge but as of now, their main objective was accomplished.
