A/N: Timeline is going to be skewed, but this is an AU, so there isn't much to complain about. Onto the story!

Separate languages will be like this.

A soft hum left Nova as she worked beside Talbot and Bermuda. She pauses for a moment before sighing deeply, "It looks like the administrative bastard is almost ready to start the battles."

Bermuda growled softly under his breath, "How much longer?"

"Not too much longer, but I will need a bit more time," Talbot replied earning a frown from Bermuda.

Nova closed her eyes as she thought of a way to get more time for them before something occurred to her, "He won't expect the Vindice to get involved."

Bermuda thought about it before inclining his head, "I suppose my men and I could get involved if only to piss that bastard off long enough for you two to finish. I suppose that means you will not be participating?"

Nova shook her head, "While it might be a good idea for me to do so, I am still feeling the effects of the damn future battles not to mention, I don't know what team I would even join. The only one I could possibly feel right in joining is Skull's team, but..." She sighed deeply, "I hate the idea of fighting any of them."

Bermuda could only shake his head, "You're so much like her than I can believe."

Feeling happy, Nova reached out and hugged her grandfather. He allowed it with a low chuckle and sighed as her Flames coiled around his. Talbot broke up the moment, "We should continue working."

"Right," Nova let go of Bermuda and they got to work.

Reborn approached Nova with a frown on his face, "Nova."

"I know what you're going to ask," Nova placed down her pen and turned to Reborn, "The dreams are occurring for a reason,"

Reborn's frown deepened as he tried to figure out why he'd be having dreams like this. It took him a little while before realization ran through him, "The man in the iron hat is going to have us fight, isn't he?"

Nova pulled out the ward stone she'd made for this specific moment and activated it. She sighed in relief as the feeling of being watched faded before telling Reborn, "He is going to offer the winner of the fights a chance to return to their normal form. It is a lie," Reborn growled darkly, "I won't say what is going to happen, but you all need to ensure that the fights go on as long as possible."

"You have a plan," Reborn smiled slightly as she nodded, "I won't ask what it is, but I'll make sure that the fights last as long as possible,"

Nova picked Reborn up and hugged him, "I will not be participating. The lingering damage from the future battles is still affecting me."

"I won't ask," Reborn leaned into her before casting a look towards the ward, "Do you have more of those?"

"An entire trunk full," Nova grinned brightly, "I'll give them to you guys later. Just use them sparingly, they only have one use since I needed to ensure they'd be powerful enough to keep that bastard from figuring things out,"

"Noted," Nova turned back to her work, "Reborn, could you help me with something real quick?"

Reborn looked at the sheet Nova had in front of her and frowned, "A will?"

"I'm updating it," She informed him, "I made my first one when I was ten,"

"Nova..." Reborn trailed off.

Nova hugged him a little tighter, "I know none of you want to even consider something happening, but I just..." She took a deep breath, "Even if my death will be a far off thing, we have to consider that it will happen."

Reborn was silent for a few moments before saying, "Alright, but don't ever give up on living."

"I won't," Nova relaxed her grip, "There is way too much to do for me to even consider giving up. Not to mention, you guys would kill me,"

Byakuran looked at Nova as she wrapped her arms around him, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Nova leaned into him, "I won't be participating in the battles,"

"I know," Byakuran hugged her to him, "It's going to happen soon?"

"Mhmm," Nova laid her head on his shoulder, "Bya, take care of Yuni. I still want to get to know her,"

"I will," Byakuran held her tighter, "After all this is over, how long until..."

Byakuran trailed off as he didn't really want to think about those idiotic magic users. Nova giggled softly, "A month maybe two if we're lucky. It'll give me enough time to focus on recovering fully. After this is over, let's go on a date."

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Byakuran snickered softly earning a shrug from the woman in his arms, "Anywhere specific you want to go?"

Nova shook her head, "Nope."

"We'll make it through the battles and I'll take you on a date," Byakuran pressed a kiss to her cheek on a whim and watched with warmth filling his chest, Nova flushing lightly.

Okay so the chapters for this arc will be shorter than usual and may only be two chapter. I don't know why, but it feels...right? Anyway, I am so happy that we're getting closer to the wizarding world arc. I'm actually thinking of writing it as it's own story rather than adding it to this one. It just seems like that's how it's supposed to be. Tell me what you think in a review or PM.
