Episode 32
~ Eternal Reality (Part V) ~
Operation Reconquista
"Haruka! Be careful! Those enemies are still quite dangerous even if we now piloting Takemikazuchi as our new power and blade nano~…" reminded Miki Hoshii via her own Type-00C Takemikazuchi senjutsuki's communication device as she opened continuous volley of 36mm ammunition hails from the said third generation senjutsuki's Type-87 support assault cannon. "Ha…hai!" replied Haruka, as she swiftly took down the incoming GSBM-006 Canis unit by using her own Type-00C Takemikazuchi's Type-74 PB Blade. "Haruka! On your left! On your left!" this time around Chihaya tried to warn her best friend over the incoming enemy from Haruka's left side. However, as Haruka was happen to be preoccupied with her current opponent, the now already defeated Canis unit, she ultimately failed to take a notice of the incoming enemy in which also happen to be identified as a single MS-06FZ Zaku II Custom.
Haruka tried to spin her Takemikazuchi's melee halberd; the Type-74 PB Blade in order to horizontally cut the incoming Zaku II Custom by using a single move. Unfortunately however, her opponent was proven to be skilled enough to block her PB Blade horizontal slash by using his or her own Zaku II Custom's heat sword before aiming his or her Zaku II Custom's MMP-80 90mm assault machine gun at point blank range. Haruka closed her eyes, as she felt her entire adrenaline started to rush within her entire body, as she knew that no one would survive from such attack after all. Haruka tried to find any possible way to overturn the whole grim situation without any success, as now the only thing that she could be doing is to resign to her fate and waiting for her quick and hopefully painless demise.
It was when the said Zaku II Custom fell motionless after having both of its arms, legs and head were swiftly removed from its main body. "Amami…are you alright…?" asked a familiar gentle voice, in which happens to be instantly made Haruka recover from her dazed and confused state. "A-a-acting lieutenant-san! I-I…" replied Haruka with a slightly trembled and stuttered voice. "Please be careful Amami, since unlike BETA…we are dealing with human opponents here…one mistake and we could endanger not only our life but everyone's life as well. Can you still fight…?" asked Ave via his newly overhauled and upgraded Personal Trooper Gespenst Haken's communication device. Haruka quickly nodded back in affirmative before responding back at the said older young Enforcer's question just now. "I am fine acting lieutenant-san and I could still fight! I won't be making the same mistake again!" replied Haruka with determined voice tone, as Ave was only smiling back at the younger idol-Eishi in which happens to have her determined face shown on the small sub-monitor screen on the top right corner of his Gespenst Haken's main monitor.
"Good…now, shall we continue with Phase 2…? Minase, Kisaragi, will you be able to assist Amami while I act as diversion together with Ganaha, Takatsuki and Shijou…?" asked Ave, as his Gespenst Haken once again activates a pair of plasma riot blades and dual wield them in both of its respective hands. "You know that you are asking a bit too much from this magnificent Iori-sama. Although I would say, you can leave everything to me…eeer…us, Enforcer Takamachi…" replied Iori Minase back with confidence, as she already took down four GSBM-006 Canis units by using four Type-87 assault cannons simultaneously in close quarter combat before finally arrived in her own Type-00C Takemikazuchi. "Affirmative Enforcer Takamachi, since we will be moving to the designated area as soon as Haruka ready…" replied Chihaya as well, as her own Type-00C Takemikazuchi was also arriving and standing next to Haruka's own Type-00C Takemikazuchi in order to contact her best friend privately.
"Hey! Ave! Eins! This Takemikazuchi is awesome! I thought Fighting Falcon and Shiranui were already proven to be awesome back then, as well as J-10! However this senjutsuki is really in different level after all! I am thrilled to try one or two different new maneuver with it!" chirped Ganaha happily, as her voice was suddenly echoing across the entire battlefield through her very own Type-00C Takemikazuchi's communication device's open communication channel. "I am glad that Takemikazuchi's performance is happen to suit your liking miss Ganaha…although I personally believe, that we should be focusing ourselves in this decisive battle instead…" replied Reinforce Eins instead of Ave, as the said first generation Reinforce unison device (unity knight) herself was happen on her Figma-size small hologram form and sit on the top of Gespenst Haken's onboard main pilot system right in front of her faithful surrogate Lord; Enforcer Ave J.C Takamachi himself.
"Tee hee…hee…you're right Eins! Although still, I can't help myself from getting excited after all and please don't blame me only since I believe Yayoi is also feel excited as well after all…!" replied Ganaha back in enthusiasm, as her Type-00C Takemikazuchi senjutsuki unit was seen outmaneuvering a pair of Gaia Saviour's GSBM-006 Canis units at ease. "She is surely very cheerful and highly enthusiastic girl isn't she…? I mean second lieutenant Ganaha…" commented Ave, as he was also grinning as well in the same time. "You are indeed correct meister Ave, since miss Ganaha is famously known for her endurance while piloting senjutsuki as well as performing nonstop dance movement on the stage during any concert, similar to miss Takatsuki…" replied Reinforce Eins back calmly, as she was also giving Ave her usual warm and gentle smile while performing several minor adjustment and tune-up for her beloved surrogate Lord's Personal Trooper Gespenst Haken unit.
"I agree with you Reinforce. Hopefully though, she is not getting careless and ended up injuring herself like what happened back then in both Alternative and Unlimited world…" replied Ave back, as he started to perform NOE (nape-on-earth) flight in order to follow Ganaha's Type-00C Takemikazuchi closely. "I don't think miss Ganaha will pilot her Type-00C Takemikazuchi carelessly, as I believe the injury she was experiencing when piloting J-10 senjutsuki back in Alternative world is constantly reminding her to be a lot more careful afterward…" calmly Reinforce Eins gave her reply back at Ave's remark just now, as the said young Enforcer himself was only sheepishly laughed after he heard his faithful unison device's (unity knight's) reply just now. "Eins! Ave! Here we are! It seems both Shijou and Takatsuki have been waiting for our arrival after all!" informed Ganaha cheerfully, as Ave and Reinforce Eins saw another pair of Type-00C Takemikazuchi senjutsuki in ESUN's metallic cobalt blue paintjob have been successfully securing the entire battlefield by defeating eight GSBM-006 Canis units and six MS-06J Zaku II Ground Type units all by themselves.
"Ah! Hibiki! Ave! Eins-nee!" greeted Takatsuki, as she was waving her Takemikazuchi's free left hand at Ganaha's Type-00C Takemikazuchi and Ave's Gespenst Haken. "Hibiki, Enforcer Takamachi and sergeant major Eins…I am pleased to have the three of you here, although it seems that we have already been securing this battlefield by ourselves all alone after all…" greeted Shijou with her usual dignified and regal voice tone, as this time around Ganaha cheerfully gave her respond back at both Takatsuki and Shijou's greetings just now. "Yo! Takane! Yayoi! It seems both of you have been forgetting to keep some of these enemies for us, a, ha, ha, ha, ha! By the way, Ave and Eins have decided to begin Phase 2…are you two ready…?" asked Ganaha with full enthusiasm, as both Takatsuki and Shijou were quickly smiling back at the said Okinawan idol-Eishi while nodding in agreement as well.
"Uh-huh! I am ready at any time! How about you Takane-san?" asked Takatsuki right after she affirmatively gave her reply back at Ganaha's question just now. "I am ready, as I also do believe that any prolonged campaign will only make us suffer in the end. Because of that, I aim to swiftly end this conflict so we can all focus our attention on the greater threat such as DAMON creatures…" replied Shijou calmly, as her Type-00C Takemikazuchi spun her Type-74 PB Blade melee halberd in order to get her fighting stance ready. "A, ha, ha, ha! Good to hear that both of you are ready! Ave! Eins! We all now at your command! Please give us your instruction!" replied Ganaha back at Shijou's reply just now, as she was also asking the said older young Enforcer Ave J.C Takamachi for further instruction. "Meister Ave…your instruction...?" asked Reinforce Eins as well calmly. It was when Ave inhaled a long deep breath and sighed before he began his instruction.
"As we speak now, Amami, Kisaragi, and Minase should already starting their assault together with other idol-Eishi as well as Special Duty Section 6's aerial combat mages and ZEXIS' operatives. Our task is to split enemies' focus away from the main force by acting as a diversion unit for them. I know it would not be an easy task, but I believe I can count on the three of you…since you three are now officially Project Fairy idol and combat unit after all…" replied Ave back, as he finally concluded his instruction. "Uhm, any question…?" asked Reinforce Eins. "Uh-huh! Everything is clear and you can count on us Ave! Eins-nee!" replied Takatsuki cheerfully, as she was seen reloading her Type-00C Takemikazuchi's Type-87 support assault cannon. "Well, since Yayoi is really confident about this…I believe things will definitely working fine after all! Again, you can count on us Ave! Eins!" this time around Ganaha was also reaffirming her confident and resolve with full enthusiasm, as her best friend Takane Shijou was only smiling and nodding back affirmatively as well.
As the said three idol-Eishi from the Mondenkind Squadron began to move in order to disrupt enemies' formation, Reinforce Eins decided to ask her beloved surrogate Lord over certain question telepathically. "Meister Ave, don't you think it would be better for me to act independently as well…? Since I can definitely help you as well as everyone else more efficiently that way…" asked Reinforce Eins, as Ave was only remain silent for a moment while contemplating over his faithful unison device's (unity knight's) suggestion just now. "Meister Ave…?" asked Reinforce Eins for one more time. "I think that would be a good idea Reinforce. Please don't worry, since Tink Erbel will be here to assist me after all…" replied Ave back, as he was also smiling at his faithful unison device (unity knight) in front of him. Reinforce Eins in the meantime was also nodding back in affirmative and gave Ave her warmest gentle smile before slowly vanished away from the said young Enforcer's eyes.
Soon afterward, floating right in front of Ave's Gespenst Haken, Reinforce Eins was seen wearing her Combat Equipment and having NachtWal equipped on her left arm. She was then took a copy of Tome of the Night Sky (Buch der Dunkelheit) by using her free right hand and the said tome's pages started to flip automatically and stopped after it reached page number 278. "I in the name of my master, Queen of the Night Sky Hayate Yagami and in the accordance of the Blessed Wind's promise beseech thee! King of all swords, protector of the realm and the one that inherit the mixed blood of our savior and harbinger! Reveal yourself! Be my blade and strength that would deliver darkness away from this world! I summon thee! Grospoliner!" shouted Reinforce Eins, as she finished her incanation in which happens to swallow the very existence of the said copy Tome of the Night Sky away from her right hand. It was when from within a small dimensional tear and rift, Reinforce Eins pulled a bio-organism sword in which also happens to be around the same size of her.
The said sword as somehow having a curved and elongated bio-organism design similar to H.R Giger's Necronom IV in which also happens to be strangely scary, stunning, elegant and beautiful as well. It was when Ave instantly took a notice over the said sword's identity and origin was happen to be no other than the King of all swords Grospoliner in which also happens to be previously owned and wielded by a legendary attack mage Gigelf Liqueur as well as his daughter Katsumi Liqueur.
"Reinforce, is that sword happens to be the original or just a replica…?" asked Ave via Gespenst Haken's communication device. Reinforce Eins was only smiling back at her beloved surrogate Lord (or to be exact her surrogate Lord's Personal Trooper Gespenst Haken), as she gently shook her head and gave her reply at her said surrogate Lord's question just now. "Unfortunately this is just a replica that happens to be created and conjured from Tome of the Night Sky's imprinted record…in which also happen to be originally taken from its previous owner's Linker Core as well…" replied Reinforce Eins back calmly as she swung Grospoliner replica effortlessly by using her now free right hand. "I see…well, anyway…we should get going! Since I don't think it would be wise for us to let Ganaha, Shijou and Takatsuki to act as diversions alone by themselves! Are you ready Reinforce…?" replied Ave back, as he asked Reinforce Eins' readiness as well in return. It was when Reinforce Eins once again smiled at her surrogate Lord in front of her before nodding back in affirmative soon afterward.
"Hai! Meister Ave!"
Together with Reinforce Eins (as well as Tink Erbel in her standby mode), Ave entered another new battleground in front of him in order to put Phase 2 of this particular mission plan into motion. It was when the diversion unit successfully split the enemy forces' focus away from Special Duty Section 6 and ZEXIS alliance's main force, as the entire mission was seem progressing smoothly according to the mission plan. In the meantime however, unbeknownst to both Ave and Reinforce Eins, as well as Ganaha, Shijou and Takatsuki, a lone figure was secretly watching over the entire thing and also starting to put his elaborately designed evil plan into motion as well.
In the meantime, at the other side of battlefield in which Special Duty Section 6 and ZEXIS alliance's main force were fiercely clashing against Gaia Saviour's main force as well…
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"Three down! Four to go! To be able to take down those mobile suits without even killing the pilot is certainly requiring high precision and skill! You're doing a really good job Ritsuko-chan!" praised Nanoha, as she was hovering next to Ritsuko Akizuki's Type-00C Takemikazuchi's right shoulder while in the same time readying her CW-AEC00X Fortress AEC Armament. In the meantime the famous 765-Pro's producer-idol-Eishi first lieutenant Ritsuko Akizuki was only smiling bashfully as soon as she heard Nanoha's praising on her outstanding performance just now before replying back at the said legendary TSAB's air forces' Ace of Aces herself. "You're praising me a bit too much instructor Takamachi, since I believe that I still have many things to learn as my new role on becoming a proper idol-Eishi…" replied Ritsuko modestly, as Nanoha was only smiling back at her in return before responding back at Ritsuko's reply just now.
"Nya, ha, ha, ha. However you have just proven yourself to be a fast-learner Ritsuko-chan. Also, I personally believe it won't be easy to learn the way of Song Guardian in order on becoming a proper idol-Eishi from just being a normal idol after all…" responded Nanoha back, as she blocked enemies' volley of 90mm ballistic ammunition by using her cartridge-aided shield-type spell Exelion Shield in which happens to be proven far more durable than the normal Mid-Childan's Round Shield. Quickly Ritsuko took her aim one more time as this time around another MS-06J Zaku II mobile suit instantly fell into a victim from the said female producer-idol-Eishi's 1200mm Over-the-Horizon (OTH) cannon. "Pheeew! That one was a close call instructor Takamachi…" commented Ritsuko, as she wiped the sweat on her forehead by using her right hand. Nanoha on the meantime was only smiling back and nodding in affirmative before taking a precise aim by using her CW-AEC02X Strike Cannon AEC Armament that she was happen to wields on her left hand since Nanoha was also happen to be left-handed after all.
"Absolute firepower! Excellence Cannon Variable Raid!" shouted Nanoha, as she was performing three consecutives bombardment spell by using both Beam and Plasma cannon units from AEC Armament Fortress as well as her Strike Cannon simultaneously. "Whoaaa!" Ritsuko's eyes went wide in awe and disbelief, as Nanoha was seen to be more than capable of dominating the entire battlefield alone by herself. However, as Ritsuko praised Nanoha for her display of absolute firepower just now, the said TSAB's air forces' Ace of Aces herself was only sheepishly laughing back before gently shook her head and replying at Ritsuko's praise just now. "You gave me too much credit for praising me Ritsuko-chan, since in reality I will be overwhelmed by my opponents in no time if I should battle them alone by myself…" replied Nanoha back, as her Intelligent Device Raising Heart was also happen to help Nanoha on recharging both of her Strike Cannon and Fortress' Shield Modules.
Ritsuko on the other hand couldn't help herself from admiring and respecting the said legendary TSAB's Ace of Aces even more, as Nanoha had been proven strong, charismatic, elegant and modest enough for not becoming overly proud and arrogant over her true strength and achievements in which she was happen to receive from around fifteen years of her career as Time-Space Administration Bureau's (TSAB's) aerial combat mage. It was a lasting impression that Ritsuko happens to get when she met the said Ace of Aces back in both Alternative and Unlimited world, as both Time-Space Administration Bureau's Special Duty Section 6 and the newly formed 765-Pro's tactical armored squadron; The Mondenkind were getting involved in the said worlds' BETA War. Back then Nanoha together with TSAB's navy's Ace of Aces; Enforcer Fate Testarossa Harlaown and ground forces' Ace of Aces; lieutenant colonel Hayate Yagami have shown both The Mondenkind and every single Eishi in both Alternative and Unlimited worlds the very strength, charisma, elegance, modesty and honor that Time-Space Administration Bureau's Special Duty Section 6 happens to uphold in high regard by faithfully aiding them for the rest of BETA War.
The three TSAB's Ace of Aces, in particularly instructor Nanoha Takamachi had proven themselves (herself) for being an outstanding combatant and leader in their respective divisions (air forces, navy and ground forces) while in the meantime also happen to be capable on leading both Alternative and Unlimited world's inhabitants into a total victory against BETA's superior numbers during the course of BETA War's long and exhausting campaign. Again such fact alone had made Ritsuko couldn't help from totally respecting and admiring the legendary TSAB's Ace of Aces herself. Because of that, she made a promise to perform her designated task flawlessly. Because of that Ritsuko was also promise herself on becoming a lot stronger than she have already been in the past. In order to properly becoming a capable and charismatic producer that could guide her fellow idol-Eishi from 765-Pro back to the stardom as well as fulfilling their (her) role as Song Guardians, Ritsuko would once again muster her entire resolve on doing so. Again, because of that she took the very first step and fought directly side by side with the said TSAB's air forces' Ace of Aces herself. It was Ritsuko's very own resolve and she would definitely try her very best to make it come true after all.
"Ritsuko-chan, there is an urgent emergency message from commander Yagami for you. I will patch her through…" informed Nanoha for all the sudden, as Ritsuko couldn't help herself from startled slightly in surprise. "Ah! Eh! P-p-please do so instructor Takamachi!" replied Ritsuko back with her slightly stuttered voice tone. "I will…please wait for a moment Ritsuko-chan. Raising Heart…would you please…" answered Nanoha, as she in the same time also asked her faithful Intelligent Device; Raising Heart to transfer the said emergency message from Hayate to Ritsuko. Soon afterward, a small communication screen was being projected on the top right hand side of Ritsuko's Type-00C Takemikazuchi senjutsuki's main screen in which happens to be directly projected directly on both of her retina.
"Akizuki-chan, can you hear me…?" asked Hayate, as Ritsuko took a notice on how Hayate was already wearing her knight armor (knight garb) while in the same having her own issued CW-AEC00X-2 AEC Armament Fortress Hayate Yagami's Custom Model equipped on her. Hayate was also wielding CW-AEC02M Strike Cannon AEC Armament on her left hand (arm) in which together with her own previously mentioned Fortress AEC Armament was having metallic black sapphire and golden coating paintjob all over it (them). In the same time Hayate was also wielding her signature Armed Device; Schwertkreuz version 10.02 combat knight staff on her right hand, as Ritsuko quickly took a mental note on how the usually easygoing and friendly supreme commander of highly decorated Special Duty Section 6 taskforce was at the moment somehow quite scary after all.
In the same time however, Ritsuko admitted that the said Special Duty Section 6's commander was also somehow looks very beautiful, especially when she was currently happen on performing unison-in with her faithful unison device (unity knight) Reinforce Zwei. It was when Ritsuko decided to respond at Hayate's enquiry, as she was also still admiring the said older young commander's beautiful shoulder length platinum blonde hair and clear crystal sapphire blue eyes. "L-l-loud and clear commander Yagami! Is there anything that I can assist you with…?" asked Ritsuko, as she was adjusting her glasses while trying to hide her slightly blushed face. "Squad-C from 876-Pro is currently under heavy fire and requesting support fire. Unfortunately, our enemies have been proven smart enough to prevent them from contacting you directly Akizuki-chan. So, would you be able to help them…? I give you their coordinate position immediately after this na…" explained Hayate, as without even a second thought Ritsuko saluted quickly and accepted the said Queen of the Night Sky's request just now.
"Affirmative commander Yagami! Please send me their coordinate right away!" replied Ritsuko back affirmatively, as she swiftly aimed her Type-00C Takemikazuchi's 1200mm Over-the-Horizon (OTH) cannon toward the specific coordinate in which Hayate had personally sent her just now. It was when Ritsuko took another long deep breath in order to calm herself down while carefully aiming at her target, as she muttered alone under her breath. "Ryo-kun…everyone…please, be safe…" as soon as Ritsuko happens to conclude her inner monologue, she pulled the trigger of her 1200mm Over-the-Horizon (OTH) cannon and launched the first volley of 1200mm ballistic projectile in which happens to be intended to support the beleaguered 876-Pro's idol-Eishi.
In the meantime, on the other side of the battlefield in which 876-Pro's idol-Eishi together with other ESUN's pilots and regular Eishi were happen to be locked within an intense combat against Gaia Saviour's pilots…
"Yumeko-san, are you alright…?" asked 876-Pro's idol-Eishi; ensign Ryo Akizuki as his Block 215 (XM3 Ver.3.0.1 equipped) Type-77 (F-4J) Gekishin senjutsuki unit kneeled right next to ensign Yumeko Sakurai's Block 215 Type-77 Gekishin senjutsuki unit in which also happen to be painted in ESUN's metallic cobalt blue paintjob instead of the regular United States of Japan's Self Defense Force's color scheme. "I-I-I am fine! Mou! Ryo-kun! This kind of attack won't be enough to bring me down, you know that don't you?" retorted Yumeko back sharply albeit she was also blushing slightly in embarrassment for some unknown reason. "Glad, that you're alright Yumeko-san…unfortunately however, we seem to be encountering quite big problem here…" muttered Ryo in return, as this time around Yumeko was somehow having no other choice other than admitting the fact that she together with the rest of 876-Pro's Squad-C were encountering a somehow quite serious problem after all.
"Ryo-san! Sakurai-san! Please help us! We are in big trouble here since Ai-chan alone is never be enough to hold the advancing enemies with their DPS and Tanker!" it was when both Ryo Akizuki and Yumeko Sakurai received a transmission from their slightly panicked friend; ensign Eri "Ellie" Mizutani in which happens to be currently engaging the incoming enemy's mobile suit squadron only with the other last three 876-Pro's Squad-C's idol-Eishi.
"Eri, please hold your position for a little longer…since I believe help will be underway! Commander Yagami will never abandon us in the past, so we should trust her words this time around as well!" replied Ryo back, as Eri was only in return timidly nodding back in agreement over her friend's reply just now. Another explosion rocked for all the sudden as Eri's eyes suddenly went wide in horror as she found her youngest best friend's Block 215 Type-77 (F-4J) Gekishin senjutsuki was happen to be taking a direct hit from the incoming rapid 90mm ballistic ammunitions of the incoming Gaia Saviour's RGM-79 GM Standard Type mobile suit. "Ai-chan! Answer me! Ai-chan!" shouted Eri in panic, as her shrieked voice was echoing across the entire battlefield. Fortunately for Eri as well as Ryo, Yumeko and the rest of 876-Pro's Squad-C's idol Eishi however, soon enough they all would hear the usual cheerful reply from their beloved cute youngest best friend; ensign Ai Hidaka herself.
"I am fine everyone! No injuries! No bleeding! No broken bones! Only bruises and felt slightly dizzy due to the impact! A, ha, ha, ha! It seems the reinforced E-Carbon super alloys for our Gekishin are indeed strong enough to deflect those bullets after all!" replied Hidaka cheerfully, as she tried to move her damaged Block 215 Type-77 (F-4J) Gekishin senjutsuki in order to get away from the said Gaia Saviour's RGM-79 GM. Unfortunately for her however, after suffering a critical damage on her Gekishin senjutsuki's jump units, Ai Hidaka unable to escape from the said RGM-79 GM's firing range. "Ai-chan!" Eri tried to provide her younger best friend with additional friendly support fire by using her own Block 215 Type-77 (F-4J) Gekishin's AMWS-21 combat system although the distance between her and Hidaka's enemy happens to prevent her from doing so since the said RGM-79 GM was happen to be outside her Gekishin senjutsuki's firing range after all.
Eri could only helplessly watched her best friend's struggle, as Ryo and Yumeko were also unable to do anything that might turn the tide of this hopeless battle. The other last pair of 876-Pro's Squad-C's idol-Eishi in which happens to be no other than ensign Ayane "Cineria" Suzuki and first lieutenant Reiko "Riola" Ozaki were also currently preoccupied in their respective battles, unable to help Hidaka with any additional friendly support fire as well. It was when everyone from 876-Pro's Squad-C were pretty much accepted their fate and grim reality over Hidaka's inevitable doom, as the enemy's RGM-79 GM raise its HWF GMG-MG79-90mm bullpup machinegun, ready to rain Hidaka's Block 215 Type-77 (F-4J) Gekishin senjutsuki with hails of 90mm ballistic ammunitions.
Everything somehow seems to be really hopeless and grim until a massive explosion rang across the entire battlefield while the said Gaia Saviour's RGM-79 GM was having upper half of its body to be blown away by the incoming 1200mm ballistic ammunition from out of nowhere. "Uh…? Eh…? Eh…! I am alive! I am alive! Yahoo!" shouted Hidaka happily, as this time around Eri in which happens to be already arrived next to her damaged Gekishin senjutsuki unit quickly began to evacuate Hidaka by manually ejecting her cockpit block. "S-s-someone must have been noticing our trouble and decided to help us…perhaps, commander Yagami was also asking this particular person to help us as well…a-a-anyway, m-m-more importantly you are fine and we shall w-w-warp away from this area…" replied Eri, as her voice was trembling slightly not because she was scared but because she was somehow feel relieved.
"A, ha, ha, ha! You're right Eri! Let's get away from this place before we all get swarmed again like before…! Although I still could not get it on how those GM army could corner us easily…" replied Hidaka back in return, as she was still as cheerful as ever. "Not really sure but I personally believe…these GMs were controlled by a single hive mind…because of that, any prolonged engagement against these type of enemies would only be disadvantageous for us…" explained Riola, as she was just arrived after defeating fifty RGM-79 GM units together with Cineria's help. "A-a-ah…Ozaki-san…I am relieved that you are finally arrived here…" greeted Eri with her stuttered voice, as her face was also slightly blushing for some obvious reason. Riola in the meantime was only smiling back at her younger girlfriend meanwhile Cineria frowned unhappily since she was somehow feeling a bit jealous for Eri and Riola's romantic relationship.
"It was quite a hectic battle for just the two of us…although thanks to ensign Suzuki, we manage to defeat those fifty GMs all by ourselves…so, I'm sorry if I make you worry about us Eri…" replied Riola gently, as Eri blushed even deeper in embarrassment meanwhile Cineria was quickly glaring at the older producer-idol-Eishi next to her before retorting back at her (Riola's) reply just now. "My name is Cineria! Not Ayane Suzuki! You better remember that Reiko Ozaki! Also, I have not yet giving up Ellie just yet!" shouted Cineria, as she aimed her Block 215 Type-77 (F-4J) Gekishin senjutsuki's AMWS-21 combat system at Riola's very own Type-77 Gekishin senjutsuki unit. Eri on the other hand was frantically trying to prevent those two from destroying one another just because of her meanwhile Hidaka, Ryo and Yumeko were letting out a small chuckle as they happen to become the sole witnesses for the entire love comedy situation in front of them.
Soon afterward, 876-Pro's Squad-C decided to retreat from their current position while unknown support fire from 1200mm heavy artillery kept on preventing any possible enemies to give them a chase. Unbeknownst to Hidaka, Eri, Ryo, Cineria, Riola and Yumeko, 765-Pro's producer-idol-Eishi; first lieutenant Ritsuko Akizuki was only smiling alone in satisfaction as she picked any enemies that happen to be foolish enough on giving 876-Pro's Squad-C a chase by one using her Type-00C Takemikazuchi's 1200mm Over-the-Horizon (OHT) cannon. "Ryo-kun, everyone…well done…keep moving…soon, our reinforcements will be arriving and we could move on to the second and third phase of this operation…" muttered Ritsuko alone under her breath, as she successfully took down another pair of RGM-79 [G] GM Ground Type units that happen to be giving 876-Pro's Squad-C a hot pursuit together with the rest of other Gaia Saviour's GM mobile suit variants out there. It was right after Ritsuko inhaling a relieved deep breath, she decided to ask her current companion; instructor Nanoha Takamachi over their current situation.
"Instructor Takamachi! how is the situation on our side…? Is everything happens to be under control already…?" asked Ritsuko, as Nanoha in which happens to be hovering next to the said producer-idol-Eishi's Type-00C Takemikazuchi senjutsuki unit was only smiling back at her in return before replying back to the said question of hers just now. "Everything is under control Ritsuko-chan, although I personally believe that these Gaia Saviour's operatives are somehow quite persistent and desperate after all…" replied Nanoha back, as she was readying herself to launch another volley of plasma energy barrages from both of her CW-AEC00X Fortress AEC Armament's shield modules and CW-AEC02X Strike Cannon AEC Armament simultaneously. Ritsuko on the other hand was only sheepishly smiling back at Nanoha before reminding the said TSAB's Ace of Aces over the very reason of Gaia Saviour's persistence and desperation.
"Well, it can't be helped instructor Takamachi…since after both Enforcer Testarossa Harlaown and Enforcer Lanster together with ESUN's independent investigation team led by major Gilliam Yeager successfully exposing Gaia Saviour and Ainsworth's collaboration, both of them were officially dismantled from ESUN while an arrest warrant for both of Gaia Saviour and Ainsworth's leaders were also have already been issued as well I believe…" replied Ritsuko back, as Nanoha was only nodding back in agreement after she heard the said producer-idol-Eishi's reply just now. "You're right Ritsuko-chan. Because of that Gaia Saviour's remaining forces hastily retreated to Heaven's Base and tried to turn the tide of war by declaring war against ESUN, Time-Space Administration Bureau and ZEXIS. However, there is certain thing that also happens to bother me in the same time…" replied Nanoha, as she was also voicing her concern over certain thing while in the same time not forgetting to use both of her Fortress AEC Armament and Strike Cannon AEC Armament to take down the incoming six GSBM-006 Canis units that happens to be trying to attack Ritsuko and herself.
"Is it because Ainsworth's sudden disappearance right after Gaia Saviour's retreat to Heaven's Base…? Or is there something else that also happens to concern you as well instructor Takamachi…?" asked Ritsuko. "My concern is first just about Ainsworth's sudden disappearance, although afterward I started to think that there are so many piece of mysteries in which happen to be completely left unsolved as well…" replied Nanoha back calmly, as Ritsuko was only quickly nodding back in agreement right after she heard the said legendary TSAB's Ace of Aces' reply just now. Nanoha was then explaining Ritsuko over several other mysteries in which still happen to be remain left unsolved even after Operation Reconquista was endorsed and currently went underway smoothly as well. One of those mysteries was DAMON's origin in which happens to be almost being left behind and completely forgotten by everyone else right after humanity's focus were shifted to Gaia Saviour, Ainsworth and both failed terror attacks during ESUN's annual summit in Prague and Academy City's Daihaseisai.
For someone that have also been facing those DAMON creatures directly in combat, Ritsuko was definitely fully aware over the said creatures' fearsomeness as well as the danger that they were possessing. However, as far as Ritsuko could also remember, Nanoha together with the rest of Special Duty Section 6's operatives would never forget about the main objective of their presence in this newborn tertiary world after all. In order to solve the mystery behind unknown temporal dimension rift in which happen to be most likely connected to DAMON's appearance and origin, Special Duty Section 6 would definitely come to the bottom of both temporal dimension rift and DAMON's origin without fail and resolve it (them) once and for all. Because of that Ritsuko could fully understand Nanoha's concern just now, as the current state of this newborn tertiary world was somehow seems to be already completely forgotten over those temporal dimension rifts as well as their ferocious DAMON creatures in which they were happen to brought with.
However…
"I don't think you should be worrying too much about it instructor Takamachi…" replied Ritsuko back calmly, as she was smiling at Nanoha in which happens to be staring back at her with slightly confused look shown on her (Nanoha's) face. "Eh…?" muttered Nanoha back. "I have a strong faith that commander Yagami will never left this incident unattended, even without any proper support from both ESUN and ZEXIS. Because of that, in case if commander Yagami or instructor Takamachi or even anyone from Special Duty Section 6 ever need any help, please don't be hesitate to let us know. Since 765-Pro's idol-Eishi…The Mondenkind Squadron will always at Special Duty Section 6's service!" replied Ritsuko back once again, as she gave Nanoha a reassuring smile in which Nanoha cheerfully accepted. "I will Ritsuko-chan! Since I believe Hayate-chan and everyone else will also definitely happy when they hear this! Again, thanks Ritsuko-chan although for some reason I also somehow feel that we might be troubling you soon enough…nya, ha, ha, ha…" thanked Nanoha back, as she was also sheepishly laughing in the same time as well.
Ritsuko once again reaffirming her promise before she returned her entire focus back to the battlefield in front of her, as she noticed on how 8876-Pro's Squad-C have been successfully retreated. It was when together with Nanoha, Ritsuko begin on commencing another support fire in order to ensure the second phase of Operation Reconquista to be successfully completed, as she and Nanoha realized on how things would definitely going to be fine after all, even if Operation Reconquista itself was still far from reaching its successful conclusion.
Meanwhile, on the designated center guard location in which combined force of ESUN, Time-Space Administration Bureau's Special Duty Section 6, and ZEXIS' flagships were currently stationed in order to observe and commanding the entire Operation Reconquista together…
"Come forth, the wind of snow, and become the fletching which falls from the heavens! Hræsvelgr!"
Multiple magical sigils appeared right in front the unison-ed Hayate and Reinforce Zwei, as they fired a powerful white magical energy beam straight at the incoming Gaia Saviour's AI-controlled VTX-001 Bartoll units, twelve of them. Upon reaching its target, the said powerful white magical energy beam explodes and took down those twelve Bartoll units simultaneously, showcasing the true power of Hayate Yagami's super long-range bombardment spell; Hræsvelgr itself. "Hayate-chan…are you alright…? Is Rein-chan also alright…? Your face is somehow look pale…" asked Shamal Yagami; Knight of the Lake in which also happens to be well famously known by Hand of the Healing Wind moniker as well with concerned expression shown all over her face. It was when the Queen of the Night Sky; Hayate Yagami gently smiled back at Shamal while also in the same time replying at her question just now as well.
"A, ha, ha, ha…I am fine Shamal and please stop being a worrywart since at the moment I only asking Lucino-chan to authorize me for using Tome of the Night Sky's Blaster One…moreover, if things were happen to go wrong after this…I could always depend on your Calming Heal spell as always na…" replied Hayate gently, as she gave Shamal a reassuring smile of hers as well in the same time. "But Hayate-chan…!" protested Shamal, as she was trying to argue back with her beloved meister Hayate, although the said Queen of the Night Sky herself quickly shook her head gently before reaffirming her reply just now as well. "Please don't worry about us na Shamal…moreover with Rein's help, I definitely could control my raw mana output far more efficiently than how I usually capable to do so alone by myself na…so, again please don't worry since if you started to show such sad face, everyone else will be starting to worry as well na…" replied Hayate back once again, as Shamal reluctantly nodded back in affirmative before smiling back at her beloved meister in which happens to be standing next to her.
"Shamal, is something wrong happening to Hayate…?" asked Vita, as she was moving closer to both Hayate (and Reinforce Zwei) and Shamal, as the oldest Wolkenritter gently shook her head before answering back at the Knight of the Iron Hammer's enquiry just now. "Nothing wrong is happening to Hayate-chan since Rein-chan is looking after her. In the same time, I don't think it would be a wise idea to leave your designated post unguarded Vita-chan…since our formation is somehow absolute for providing Wolfram as well as Nahel Argama and Shirogane unguarded…" replied Shamal back calmly, as she gave Vita her usual gentle smile in which happens to make Vita started to realize over how she subconsciously have been leaving her designated position due to her fear for anything that might have been threaten Hayate's wellbeing.
"I know that Shamal! However it can't be helped since Hayate's life is the one that might have been endangered here!" retorted Vita back with slightly unhappy voice tone of hers, as this time around Hayate gently shook her head before reassuring the youngest Wolkenritter; Vita Yagami that everything was happen to be fine and there would be nothing to be worried for after all. "A, ha, ha, ha…thank you for worrying about me na Vita…although as Shamal had told you before, I am fine na…and also with Rein is constantly watching over me…I would never be able to act reckless as well na…" replied Hayate back, as she gently pet Vita's head in which the said Knight of the Iron Hammer herself happily concede while blushing slightly in embarrassment as well. "Please don't worry Shamal-san! Vita-san! Rein will definitely making sure that Hayate-chama would not acting reckless like before desu! Moreover if something bad is happening to Hayate-chama, Eins-oneechan and Ave-san will definitely angry to Rein desu!" replied Reinforce Zwei confidently as well, as Vita this time around could only took another long deep breath and sighed before giving her respond back at Reinforce Zwei's reply just now.
"Tsche! Okay! I trust you Rein! Please take a good care of Hayate for us…since I believe it is already time for me to help Signum and the others…Shamal, you too…return to your post as well since you are the one that have just told me to not letting our formation in disarray after all...!" replied Vita back, as she was also glaring at Shamal as well in the same time before the older Knight of the Lake herself was giving her reply back at Vita's order just now with her usual cute voice afterward. "Hai…~ Roger that Vita-chan…~ " answered Shamal cheerfully, as she teleported herself back to her designated post meanwhile the Wolkenritter's Shield Guardian Beast; Zafira in which happens to be in human form decided to ask Shamal something by using a telepathic message.
"Shamal, don't you think is our meister happens to hide something for us again…in order to not make us worry like before…?" asked Zafira telepathically as he was darting his glance with serious facial expression at the said Knight of the Lake herself. Shamal on the other hand was only nodding back in return before giving her answer back at Zafira by using a telepathic message as well. "She might have been hiding something from us, although with Rein-chan is keeping her eyes on her…I don't think that something is gravely dangerous would be affecting Hayate-chan…although I still couldn't forsake my worried feeling over the heavy strain that might have been affecting Hayate-chan's body for continuously casting such heavy bombardment spells…even if Rein-chan is happen to help her in the process…" replied Shamal back, as she was showing her worried expression at Zafira in which in return was only nodding back in agreement as well in return.
"Our master is always having a tendency on over straining herself, especially when she already made her decision to protect anyone or anything in which she was happen to love and cherish dearly. Because of that, our job as master Hayate as well as the Tome of the Night Sky's guardian knights are to protect her as well as ensuring our master's sincere wish to be fulfilled in the end…and by saying that, I believe you have already know over what we should be doing in order to make the aforementioned sincere wish of our master on becoming reality, Shamal…" replied Zafira back calmly, as he was responding at Shamal's reply.
Shamal on the other hand was only nodding back in affirmative before thanking Zafira for the word of wisdom that he have said just now. One more time, both Shamal and Zafira began to renew their respective position within the combat formation with Hayate acted as a center guard. It was when both Shamal and Zafira once again were reminded over their promise and resolve to protect Hayate, as the two of them decided to renew the said promise and resolve once again. Because of that Shamal as well as Zafira would be doing their very best in order to support their kind and gentle meister, as the aforementioned meister of the Tome of the Night Sky herself was always having a tendency on over straining her body while protecting anyone or anything that she was happen to love and cherish dearly. Smiling alone, Shamal began to cast Calming Heal in order to gradually heal Hayate's fatigued body while Zafira cast multiple of Panzerschild barrier spell in order to protect Hayate as well as the rest of them with strong Old Belka-style magical barriers. Once again Yagami-family began to resume their duty to protect TSAB, ESUN and ZEXIS' alliance flagships from the persistent enemy assault as Operation Reconquista entered its second phase.
"Hayate! Another squadron of enemy's humanoid combat units is approaching from nine o'clock direction! Those enemies are identified as another VTX-000 Bartoll! Do you want me to preemptively attack them first…?" asked Vita, as she swung her customized CW-AEC-02X-2 Strike Cannon AEC Armament, as her beloved meister; Queen of the Night Sky Hayate Yagami was only remain quiet for a moment before she gently shook her head and replying back at Vita's question just now. "I don't think it is a good idea Vita, since if you attack them now…our formation will be left in disarray na…so, please wait for a little bit more until they reach Augusto Cannon's firing range instead na…" replied Hayate back, as she gave Vita her usual gentle smile in which the said Knight of the Iron Hammer herself often said quite motherly. Affirmatively Vita nodded back, as she once again resuming her standby stance, as this time around the previously coolheaded, calm and quiet Signum decided to ask Hayate another following up question using her telepathic question as well.
"Master Hayate, since we all have enter the second phase of Operation Reconquista…I personally fear any lack of contact from Enforcer Takamachi, instructor Takamachi, as well as everyone else were happen to give us an indication over any trouble those comrade in arms of ours might have been encountering…what do you think about this matter personally, master Hayate…?" enquiry Signum telepathically, as she this time around was happen to wields her Armed Device Laevatein in its (his) Bogenform/ Bow Form. "Signum, I personally think Nanoha-chan would be doing fine, especially when I last contacted Nanoha-chan; Rit-chan is also currently accompanying her as well. However, I also share the same unsettling feeling over our inability to communicate with others…although in the same time I believe Shari-san and everyone else were still trying their very best to rebuild our communication system entirely from the whole beginning na…" replied Hayate calmly, as she gave Signum a reassuring smile as well afterward.
"I see. However I wonder if the reason behind our inability to communicate from one another is due to our enemies' ability to interfere with our long distance telepathy, electronic communication means or even…perhaps our Linker Core…?" asked Signum, as she was using her said enquiry to respond at Hayate's answer just now. "Signum-san, Rein believes nothing is happen to interfere with our Linker Cores at the moment, as we are all still capable to regulate our mana as normally as before desu. Moreover, Linker Core is only something that happens to be similar to a linker or link editor program that transforms compiled program code into executable programs…although again in Linker Core's case is transforming our energy calculations into functional spells desu. Because of that Rein believes our enemies would never be able to interfere with our Linker Core's mana processing ability unless they decided to remove or damage our Linker Core directly desu…" replied Reinforce Zwei back telepathically, as she was acting on Hayate's behalf to give Signum another explanation in regards to Linker Core nature in which happens to refresh the said Knight of the Sword's memory and knowledge for one more time.
"Signum-danna…four Bartoll units have currently came into contact with Londo Bell's Tri-Star Squadron. However Tri-Star Squadron's RGM-88X Jeddah units seem to be encountering difficulty against them! We should help them! Signum-danna!" informed Agito in which happens to be currently in unison mode with her Lord; Signum for all the sudden. "Affirmative Agito, thanks for informing me…" replied Signum calmly, as she decided to carefully aiming her Laevatein's Bogenform before shooting a volley of arrows simultaneously. Those pair of arrows flew and straightaway penetrating their target in which happens to be one of the closest Bartoll that almost land a fatal hit on one of the three Jeddah units that belongs to Tri-Star Squadron. "Direct hit Signum-danna! One down!" shouted Agito happily, as she also once again enhancing Signum's Laevatein's Bogenform with her fire element affinity magic.
"Hayate-chama, for some reason Rein today is somehow having an impression that Signum-san and Agito are happen to be quite energetic today desu…don't you think so Hayate-chama…?" asked Reinforce Zwei telepathically, as she was sheepishly smiling as well in the same time. Hayate on the other hand was only nodding back in agreement over her faithful young unison device (unity knight) while also letting out a small chuckle as well. "Perhaps, since this particular mission is happen to be a major progress over the seemingly stalled investigation that we all have been experiencing ever since we investigate these multitude crisis na…well, I personally also never expecting that our investigation in which happen to be started from investigating temporal dimension rift and DAMON creatures' appearance could led us into this na…" replied Hayate back telepathically, as she once again decided to get another bombardment spell ready. Reinforce Zwei on the other hand was only remain quiet for a moment, as she gave Hayate's reply just now a deep thought before she decided to also gave her beloved meister Hayate Yagami an appropriate respond afterward. In the same time however, Reinforce Zwei was also not forgetting to assist Hayate over the preparation of another bombardment spell since it would definitely be proven necessary for this mission's second phase after all.
"Rein believes Hayate-chama as well as Ave-san and everyone else will still be getting themselves involved in this matter regardless whether if temporal dimension rift and DAMON happen to make their appearances or not desu. Since, it is also when Special Duty Section 6's role to act and assist the newly formed ESUN and ZEXIS proven to be crucial in order to maintain peace, order and stability within this newborn tertiary world as well as Time-Space Administration Bureau's administered and non-administered worlds desu. Don't you also agree with Rein's answer just now as well Hayate-chama…?" replied Reinforce Zwei back, as she was asking another question in which the Queen of the Night Sky Hayate Yagami herself was only smiling at the said second generation Reinforce unison device (Unity Knight) while affirmatively nodding back at her (Reinforce Zwei's) reply as well.
"I once told Ave, that prolonged campaign would only becoming unfavorable for us in the long run and I believe everyone here were also somehow share the same thought and agree to that statement na. Because of that, when we in the end could make this significant progress over something in which Time-Space Administration Bureau's Special Duty Section 6 voluntarily getting themselves involved with…everyone including the rest of us are very eager to put everything into its end once and for all. Even if in reality there are still three more phases in this particular mission that need to be completed in order to put this particular case into its ultimate closure after all na..." replied Hayate back telepathically, as she once again sheepishly smiling at her currently unison-ed in Reinforce Zwei before letting her know that she found a particular bombardment spell that would be suitable for this particular mission.
"D-D-Diabolic Emission!? Hayate-chama! This spell is dangerous desu! Since it will definitely put even more heavy strain over Hayate-chama's body desu!" protested Reinforce Zwei, as she was somehow displeased over Hayate's choice of bombardment spell, although the said Queen of the Night Sky herself was only shook her head gently before giving her respond back at Reinforce Zwei's statement/ scolding just now. "A, ha, ha, ha! Please don't worry too much na Rein. Since you will be helping with complex calculation and maintaining the efficiency of my Linker Core's processing speed, things will definitely be fine. Moreover, I won't be using anything higher than Blaster Two na…" replied Hayate back, as she was trying to reassure her faithful and beloved younger unison device (Unity Knight) that everything will definitely be fine in the end, although the aforementioned younger unison device (Unity Knight); Reinforce Zwei was somehow displeased after hearing that.
"Shamal-san! Please do something desu! Hayate-chama will ended up injuring herself desu!" pleaded Reinforce Zwei, as this time around she was asking the Knight of the Lake; Shamal Yagami to try on convincing Hayate so the said Queen of the Night Sky herself won't be acting reckless. Unfortunately for Reinforce Zwei, Shamal was only took a long deep breath and sighed before declining back at Reinforce Zwei's request just now. "Uhm, I don't think Hayate-chan will be listening to me Rein-chan. Since, once she already had her mind set on something…nothing or no one else would be able to change it. On the other hand, the only thing that we can possibly do is to give Hayate-chan our full support so she won't be injuring herself in the end or mend her when the said injury do really occurred in the end…" replied Shamal back, as she gave both Reinforce Zwei and Hayate her warmest motherly smile while in the same time nodding in approval over what Reinforce Zwei might have consider to be a reckless decision that her beloved meister Hayate have made just now after all.
"Tsche! Just give up Rein, since Hayate is definitely know and fully aware over her own strength and limitation. Moreover I don't think she would be acting too reckless since she doesn't want her dearly errand boy to scold her afterward…" commented Vita for all the sudden, as she gave both Reinforce Zwei and Hayate her playful grin afterward. "Mou! Vita…it is not very nice to always tease me about that na. Also, didn't I have told you already to not referring Ave with his errand boy moniker…?" pouted Hayate back half-jokingly at Vita's teasing comment just before, as the said Knight of the Iron Hammer herself was only shrugging both of her shoulders while responding back at Hayate's pouting just now.
"Enforcer Takamachi is definitely very concerned over master Hayate's wellbeing and happiness more than anything else. Because of that, he was scolding master Hayate back when she acted recklessly when pursuing Hűckebein and in the end injuring herself by casting Heimdall, putting heavy strain over her own body and in the end getting stabbed from behind by the head of the Hűckebein…" stated Signum calmly, as Vita was quickly nodding back in agreement over her leader's statement just now as well. "S-S-Signum…! Please don't keep on bringing the same embarrassing topic over and over again na. Mou! Now I feel really bad already since certainly Ave will be scolding me in the end na…" pouted Hayate back cutely, as she was arguing over Signum's statement just now. Reinforce Zwei in which happens to be currently in unison mode with Hayate, as well as Shamal and Zafira were only letting out a small chuckle and giggle as they listened over their beloved meister's argument with her two most trusted knights; Vita and Signum.
"Uhm, please understand meister. Since I believe both Signum-danna and Vita-aneki were only concerned over meister's wellbeing after all. Because of that they went into such great length to remind you of any impending consequences if you are happen to might act reckless like before…?" explained Agito telepathically, as she was currently performing unison mode with her Lord; Signum Yagami. "A, ha, ha, ha. I know that Agito. Although in the same time I also want to let you know that I will definitely be doing fine na. I won't be acting careless like before and more importantly Rein is with me now, so…nothing could go horribly wrong like before na…" replied Hayate back, as she gave Agito, Signum, Vita, Shamal and Zafira a reassuring smile of hers. It was when Signum (and Agito), Vita, Shamal, Zafira and Reinforce Zwei were only took a long deep breath and sighed as they knew very well on how their beloved meister was telling them the truth albeit still acted stubbornly as well.
"W-w-well, since Hayate-chan have been promising us that she will be doing fine, shall we let her cast Diabolic Emission in order to help our beleaguered allies on completing the second phase of Operation Reconquista…Vita-chan, Rein-chan…?" asked Shamal kindly, as she gave everyone from Yagami family her usual motherly gentle smile of hers while clasping her hands as well in the same time. "Tsche! Just be very careful Hayate, since I don't want to get chewed as well by your errand boy…I mean Ave…" stated Vita, as she quickly turned her attention back to the incoming Bartoll enemies that happen to be once again overwhelming Londo Bell's (ZEXIS') Tri-Star Squadron. "V-V-Vita…! Mou!" protested Hayate half pouting albeit she was also in the same time gave her most loyal and faithful knight an affirmative nod as well. "Here they come Vita. I hope you are ready for another battle…" informed Signum, as the unison-ed Knight of the Sword herself took another aim at the incoming enemies by using her Armed Device Laevatein's Bogenform. Vita on the other hand was quickly nodding back in agreement over her leader's statement just now before she was also readying herself to welcome the said incoming Bartoll hordes by using her CW-AEC02X-2 Strike Cannon AEC Armament in close mode as a makeshift claymore-lance hybrid.
"Hayate-chama, please leave all the spell processing calculation and mana output regulation to Rein desu. Uhm, also please be really careful since…AEC Armament together with Schwertkreuz Armed Device and Tome of the Night Sky's Blaster Two all combined will definitely causing a heavy strain even more than when Hayate-chama was casting Heimdall back then desu…Rein doesn't want Ave-san to be sad and scold Rein afterward…so, please again be really careful desu…" muttered Reinforce Zwei telepathically, as she was sincerely asking her beloved meister; the Queen of the Night Sky Hayate Yagami to be really careful on doing anything that she would soon be performing. Hayate in the meantime was only shook her head while giving Reinforce Zwei in which happen to be currently unison-ed with her a reassuring warm gentle smile that would soon calming the said younger unison device's (Unity Knight's) worried mind.
"I will definitely be really careful na Rein. Since I also don't want Ave to scold me later on while causing both of you and everyone else so much worried as well na…because of that, let's us do our best together!" replied Hayate back, as Reinforce Zwei affirmatively nodding back at her beloved meister before giving her respond back at her beloved meister's (Hayate's) reply just now. "H-h-hai desu! Hayate-chama!" replied Reinforce Zwei back enthusiastically as she gave Hayate an equally sincere warm and gentle smile of hers afterward. It was when Hayate once again smiled at Reinforce Zwei before returning her entire attention back to the raging battlefield in front of her.
As the swarming Bartoll hordes were getting closer and closer to the three ships alliance of TSAB's Wolfram, Londo Bell's Nahel Argama, and ZEXIS' Shirogane, Hayate took a long deep breath in order to calm herself down. Signum and Vita have started their frontal and relentless assaults over the closest Bartoll hordes meanwhile Zafira as well as Shamal were using their respective spells to provide Hayate with both ultimate defense and regenerative healing abilities. Once again the last Queen of the Night Sky together with her trusted knights; Wolkenritter decided to show the entire world if not multiple multiverse out there over the unyielding resolve and determination that she together with her faithful knights were always having in their hearts. It was when the world if not the entire multiple multiverse once again becoming a witness of Hayate's true power when she fought side by side together with her faithful knights and unison devices (Unity Knights).
As Vita and Signum continuously keep the incoming Bartoll hordes at bay, Hayate slowly closed her eyes and began the incanation of her bombardment spell's aria together with Reinforce Zwei. As Shamal and Zafira tirelessly providing Hayate with ultimate defense and recovery support in order to keep the said Queen of the Knight Sky's focus solely to be directed on casting the said wide area-of-effect bombardment spell; Diabolic Emission, Hayate together with Reinforce Zwei have just finished the starting up process of regulating Hayate's mana output in order to prevent it from getting overload and in the end harming Hayate's body instead. It was when within the heated battlefield in front of her, Hayate together with her faithful knights and unison devices once again show everyone else over the true power of the one that inherited Tome of the Night Sky's power while instantly brought the entire second phase of this current mission into its conclusion. It was when as Hayate opened her eyes, she was casting down her aforementioned massive bombardment spell together with Reinforce Zwei's aid and enveloping the entire battlefield in front of them (her) with a black sphere.
"In an ancient land, sink into the darkness. Diabolic Emission…! Phantom Shift!"
Originally categorized as wide area-of-effect space attack spell, Diabolic Emission was usually creating an immensely large black sphere that would instantly expands itself rapidly and enveloping its surrounding area. However it would only afflicting any damage on the previously targeted enemies while leaving other area's properties such as friendly units and buildings remain intact in the similar manner to Cybaster's Cyflash wide-area attack. Combined together with Blaster Two system in which happens to be installed on Hayate's Tome of the Night Sky and Schwertkreuz Armed Device however, Diabolic Emission Phantom Shift was reclassified as wide area-of-effect bombardment spell instead. Its damage output together with range was being multiple around threefold from its original counterpart. It was truly an effective wide area-of-effect bombardment spell that would certainly wipe out the entire enemies without any prejudice and brought the entire mission's second phase into its conclusion. Although in return, the said wide area-of-effect bombardment spell itself was also happen to leave a heavy strain on Hayate's body afterward. "Hayate-chan!" it was when Hayate started on losing her balance and slightly stumbled backward before Shamal caught her and starting to apply a Calming Heal recovery healing spell in order to soothe her weary and exhausted body afterward.
"Tranquil breeze, carry forth a blessing of healing…!"
"A, ha, ha, ha…this is really bad na. Since the effect of Blaster Two's enhanced Diabolic Emission Phantom Shift is somehow consuming more mana than what I previously thought na…" replied Hayate back sheepishly, as she tried to lighten the entire mood while staring at Shamal's motherly and concerned face in which also happens to be really close to her (Hayate's) very own face. "Rein, how is Hayate-chan's Linker Core status at the moment…?" asked Shamal telepathically, as Reinforce Zwei was quickly giving back her reply to the said Knight of the Lake in which currently happens to be helping Hayate by supporting her (Hayate's) weary and exhausted body. "Hayate-chama's Linker Core is still working fine without any possible noticeable damage desu. However, her mana processing output has becoming unsteady due to the sudden rush of high-spike mana consumption when Hayate-chama was casting Diabolic Emission Phantom Shift just now desu…" replied Reinforce Zwei back telepathically, as Shamal was only remain quiet before nodding back affirmatively while in the same time reapplying her Calming Heal at Hayate's exhausted body for one more time.
"Uhm, Rein…Shamal…please don't worry too much na. Since I was just feeling a little bit fatigued after casting Blaster Two's enhanced Diabolic Emission Phantom Shift in which uhm…happens to consume more mana than what I previously have predicted na…again…I am sorry and don't worry na…" muttered Hayate back, as she gave both Shamal and Reinforce Zwei an apologetic look on her face. Both Shamal and Reinforce Zwei (in which happens to be still in unison mode with Hayate) in the meantime were only shook their heads before once again told Hayate that it would be always their job to worry about Hayate's wellbeing as well as to help and support her regardless. It was when both Vita and Signum were also approaching Hayate as well since the two of them have been successfully defeated any remaining Bartoll units that might happen to escape the said Queen of the Night Sky's Diabolic Emission Phantom Shift wide area-of-effect bombardment spell just now.
"Hayate! Are you alright Hayate!? Your hands…both of them are bleeding!" shrieked Vita in panic, as she quickly holds both Hayate's hands in which happen to be bleeding due to the side effect of Blaster Two's enhanced Diabolic Emission Phantom Shift. "Ah! W-well…this kind of thing was also happening in the past, when I cast Heimdall down in order to prevent Hűckebein from escaping…the fateful day after we met Ave for the first time na…" replied Hayate back, as she gave Vita her usual cheerful smile in order to lessen the said Knight of the Iron Hammer's worried. Both Vita and Signum once again glanced at both Hayate's hands, as they noticed on how dried blood have been previously seeping out from their beloved meister's fingernails and other small cuts across the said hands' surface in which currently happens to be covered by black colored fingerless gloves of her knight garb (knight armor). It was when Vita and Signum instantly turned their concerned gaze back to Hayate, as this time around the said Knight of the Iron Hammer decided for perhaps the very first time to give her beloved meister; Queen of the Night Sky Hayate Yagami a meaningful scolding for acting carelessly just now.
"Even if this kind of thing was also happening in the past, it doesn't mean that you can just acting carelessly again! Damn it! Hayate! Don't you even realize on how you make me as well as everyone else including Ave worried!?" asked Vita with an apparently quite angry voice tone, as she began to reprimand Hayate meanwhile the said Queen of the Night Sky herself was only remain quiet for a moment before apologizing at her most faithful knight in front of her albeit with a slight pout shown on her face as well. "Uhm, w-well…I'm sorry for causing so much trouble na Vita…b-but…you no need to get really angry and starting to yell at me as well na…mou…" replied Hayate back half pouting, as Vita in the meantime was only letting out a long heavy sigh as she personally was still displeased over Hayate's reckless disposition just now.
"Master Hayate, I do agree and share the same sentiment with Vita. I believe you should be more careful and taking a good care of yourself even more…especially since by acting recklessly like what you have just done, you made not only all of us but more importantly young Enforcer Takamachi worried…I hope you will understand that…" this time around, Signum decided to give Hayate another serious lecture or to be exact words of wisdom over her recent tendency for acting recklessly in the battlefield. It was when Hayate decided to sincerely apologized after she heard Signum's lecture just now since she was happen to be truly realize over how her family; namely her knights, her unison devices and her younger boyfriend were indeed care over her wellbeing and happiness more than anything or anyone else in this world if not countless multiple multiverse out there.
"Vita, Signum, Shamal, Zafira, Rein, Agito…uhm…I am truly sorry if I make you all worried about me na…I will try my best to act more carefully in the future and hopefully by doing so, I would make all of you less worried about me na…" replied Hayate back, as she once again sincerely apologized at Vita, Signum, Shamal, Zafira, Reinforce Zwei (in which happens to be still in unison mode with Hayate herself) and Agito (in which happens to be currently in unison mode with Signum) over her reckless disposition just now. "Hmpfff! As long as you promise us to be more careful in the future, we will always forgive you Hayate! Also, I want you to know that we all here to protect and support you…so, please don't ever think or try to shoulder your burden alone by yourself since you should remember on how Ave…that errand boy's promise to take and shoulder half of your burden with him! We will also be more than willing to take and shoulder those burden of yours by sharing them equally among us! So, just to let you know Hayate, that you and Ave are not alone in this! You two will always have the rest of us that happen to be even more than willing to support and protect both of you forever!" responded Vita back with her Vita-centric voice tone, as she was once again declaring her unyielding loyalty at Hayate as well as to the certain extend Ave while Signum, Shamal, Zafira, Reinforce Zwei and Agito were also nodding back in agreement over what the said Knight of the Iron Hammer; Vita Yagami have been declared just now.
"Vita, thank you na…" replied Hayate back, as she gently smiled at the blushing Knight of the Iron Hammer in front of her before slowly planted an equally gentle kiss at the said Knight of the Iron Hammer's (Vita's) forehead. "H-H-Hayate! What are you doing just now!?" protested Vita half-shouting, as Hayate on the other hand was only letting out a small chuckle after she saw Vita's embarrassed face in which happens to be blushed even redder and deeper soon afterward. "Everyone, our allies have sent us a signal to temporarily retreated until the other team starting the mission's third phase…shall we get going as well…?" asked Zafira, as the usually quiet Guardian Beast of Yagami family decided to give his beloved meister a reminder over any mission's progress or update after the said mission's second phase have finally been completed just now.
"Certainly Zafira. Since we should get ourselves ready for commencing the mission's third phase as well na…as we…" before Hayate could even conclude her reply, Shamal decided to interrupt her younger meister's sentence just now for all the sudden. "Hayate-chan, I believe we should be taking a good care of your injured hands first before participating in this mission's third phase…or else you will need to find a really good excuse when you see Ave-kun again after we all successfully completing this entire mission…" reminded Shamal, as she was also not forgetting to give Hayate another gentle motherly smile of hers as well in the same time. It was when Hayate found herself could no longer argued at Shamal's reminder just now, as she meekly nodded back in agreement at Shamal's words just now before retreating together with Vita, Signum, Zafira, Reinforce Zwei, Agito and the rest of TSAB, Londo Bell, ZEXIS' three ships alliance from the already pacified battlefield in front of them. It was also when Hayate took another long deep breath and sighed, as she started to wonder over her younger boyfriend's would be respond when he saw Hayate's previously bleeding hands as well as current exhausted state.
"He will definitely getting angry at me na…" muttered Hayate alone under her breath, as she in the end concluded that apologizing at her younger boyfriend would definitely be the wisest decision after all, rather than trying to find any excuses over her reckless action just now. It was when Hayate once again took a long deep breath and sighed heavily afterward as she was also once again lamenting over the fact that her younger boyfriend would definitely getting angry over her reckless action just now while retreating from the pacified battlefield in front of her together with everyone else.
