On the planet of Liberta Annabelle was busy chowing down on a big meal and gazing at a hologram screen. The announcer was outlining the Bureau's new policy and Annabelle felt her blood start pumping.

"Hey sis, get over here?"

Karen sauntered into the room in a less than modest attire.

"What's up?"

"Take a look at this."

The announcer went into the details of the new Bureau policy regarding Belkan tradition and abilities.

"Make us register? Are they fucking kidding? They got another thing coming!"

Belle began to grin. "Should I gear up?"

Karen smiled with wickedness. "Yeah, but let them make the first move. I'll go get Stella ready."

"Think those Grendel idiots wanna join too?"

"You bet. Call them up."

The presenter droned on about the measure. Annabelle called up Maria Grendel. The window popped open and loud club music flooded Belle's ears.

"Yikes! Hey Maria! You there?"

No answer.

"Hey, you there?"

Still no answer.

"Answer you dirty cum bucket!"

"Fuck you!"

Maria's face finally popped on screen.

"What the hell do you want?"

"You heard about the Bureau?"

Maria spat. "Like they mean anything anyway."

"They fucking do now, check this out."

After looking at the report Maria spoke again.

"Where do we meet up?"

A woman in a Bureau uniform stood at the door. She had a professional smile and workplace amiable air about her. Karen stood with her arms crossed beneath her bosom, smiling with menace and seduction at the same time.

"What can I help you with?"

"Good day ma'am. I believe you're aware of the Bureau's new policy."

"No, I haven't heard about it."

"That's strange. However, we won't interfere anymore than is needed. You may use your abilities as you please, under a limiter."

Karen's smile sharpened. "Tell you what, you can use your legs with a few holes in them as you please and you'll be just fine."

"Pardon?"

"You heard me."

The woman regained her composure. "Ma'am, the Bureau is doing this because it's necessary. Using Belkan abilities without any kind of supervision may lead to undead appearing."

Karen blinked with menacing beguilement. "So if the dead want to die again, the Amsel family will grant their wish. Until then, you can keep your limiters to yourselves. And if there's even a hint of you people trying to force them on us, we'll fight back so hard, your whole damn Bureau will explode. Now get the fuck off my propriety, before I mail you back in pieces!"

In the end, the few days turned into a month. The Bureau was pretty determined that an incident like that with Sieg would never happen again. So Hayate was asked to stay and help with the documents and negotiations needed for the decree to pass. The decree was universally popular among Bureau staff and passed at the end of the month with wide public support.

Meanwhile, Rin and Sakura continued to train with Nove. Besides Nanoha and her now constant bodyguards, Artoria and Joan, Shamal and Fate would often join to supervise.

Shamal made sure to speak with Sakura every morning before the exercises and inform Nanoha if Sakura needed a slow or a rest day.

Despite the supervision on breaks, Sakura had the quickest progression. Indeed, she barely used her device by the end of the month. Crimson Fancy would remind her every now and then if she lost concentration, but otherwise Nove had her work cut out for her.

In the center of a heavily developed urban setting, Sakura stood with Rin at her back.

"Taken care of those drones Sakura?"

"None left nee-san."

"Then there's only Nove."

"She's coming for you from bellow! Take my hand."

Nove charged at Rin and Sakura from bellow ten floors. One floor bellow them she hit a barrier. First it stopped Nove then hit the cyborg with a healthy electric shock.

"Ouch! I give, you win!"

The two sisters stopped at once and Nove landed on the floor bellow them.

"That's not a fluke anymore. You guys have gotten good! Really good."

"Right, that's enough for today." Nanoha spoke up as she flew in, the stage clearing as she landed. "Congratulations Rin, Sakura. You've both made fantastic progress."

Sakura grinned bashfully. "Oh no, we couldn't have done it without your training and help. Besides, nee-san is a valedictorian."

Rin huffed. "Oh come on Sakura, without Hayate we'd be on level one still."

Nanoha chuckled merrily. "Indeed, but without your work and talent, Hayate's efforts would've been in vain."

Nove nodded. "You two have a really unique form of magic there. You should be proud of it."

Crimson Fancy spoke as well. "Mistress and her sister are in full ability now. All they need from us is information."

"Thank you." Both sisters said with wide smiles.

"In time, even that will not be needed."

Nanoha looked behind at Artoria and Joan who were smiling gently. "I still can't get you two out of that place."

Artoria sighed and Joan shrugged. "You're on the job though so I won't insist."

"Nanoha, do not feel burdened over such a thing." Artoria tried for what seemed like the thousandth time.

Joan simply shook her head.

As things wound down, Hayate called in with Nanoha. "Hello Nanoha, I trust everything's going well?"

"As well as can be."

"Wonderful. The decree's passed and we're finally free to start our vacation."

"That's fantastic. When do we go?" Nanoha cheered.

"Tomorrow."

"...Isn't that a little rushed?"

Hayate sighed. "No. I'm tired of all the paper work and negotiations. I wanna see our beauties in bikinis!"

Nanoha let out a small chuckle as Hayate cackled.

"So where are we going?" She asked.

"The world of Capri. It's a lovely place with beaches, hot springs and scenic mountains and valleys." Hayate answered.

"That sounds lovely."

The news were unexpected, even at home. Fate took it in strides but Artoria and Joan were less than enthusiastic.

"I don't think we should be heading somewhere new and drop our guard." Artoria said.

Fate sighed. "The planet is administered by the bureau and it's frequently used by all its services. It's a vacation planet so it's kept safe."

Joan frowned. "I also don't like moving to a new location. But if it is less populated, then there is less risk of other people being hurt. However, that could also mean us becoming stuck in said place with no way to help the Headquarters."

"The planet is very well connected to every single core bureau world. Cutting us off would be almost impossible." Nanoha calmly replied.

"Almost. However since you are the target, the enemy will most likely focus on you. Her majesty will have the proper opportunity to defend you without worry of simple people being harmed."

Fate and Nanoha laughed awkwardly. "You two need a vacation even more than us."

The group got to Capri early the next morning. A very enthused Hayate had the whole family following her, plus the sisters and Medusa. Nanoha, Fate, Nove, Einhart, Fabia and Vivio came after. Bringing up the rear, Artoria and Joan looked around with suspicion.

"Alright everyone, let's go to the villa!"

The villa was next to a clear water lake, clean, pristine, surrounded mostly by forests and highlands on three sides. In the back of the villa a hot spring flowed gently into a prepared area.

Rin gazed around with amazement "This place looks like a luxury resort. How much did it cost?"

"This planet is administered as a rest and recovery environment for those who work for the Bureau." Hayate replied merrily. "Usually this place is for those badly injured or those who want to retire from active duty to a more rustic and pleasant place. However we can be back at headquarters in a moment's notice."

"You didn't answer my question." Rin frowned.

"The bureau owns it. We have it for our use for a month, starting today."

Rin looked at the villa again. "Wow!"

Accommodating and well furbished, the place had enough room for everyone. Hayate and Rein had Vita bunking with them, Shamal with Signum and Agito, Nanoha with Fate, Nove, Medusa, Zafira and the children in the largest room and Artoria and Joan in the room next to Nanoha and Fate.

Hayate overflowed with enthusiasm. "Unpack quickly, cause we've got a lot of fun to have! Don't forget your swimsuits ladies!"

Predictably, Hayate had prepared a set of swimsuits for every adult while Nanoha had made sure to bring appropriate swimwear for the children. The adult ladies were clad in string thong bikinis that made for easy movement but very little modesty. As the group moved to the beach, Sakura spoke softly to Artoria and Joan. "If you're afraid of slipping, focus and make a replacement suit quickly, it's easy and it helps."

The beach was decked out for all sorts of activities, and for simply lying down and relaxing. Not to mention swimming in the pleasantly temperate lake.

"So, ladies, who's up for volleyball? Artoria and Joan join by default. I'll be the referee." Hayate announced.

Nanoha chuckled merrily. "You get to pick the teams too Hayate!"

"Fine then." Hayate hummed and she looked at them all. "You, Fate, Artoria and Joan versus Signum, Shamal, Sakura, Rin and Medusa. You all know the rules somewhat, I suppose. First team to reach 23 points wins a round. There are five rounds."

Joan took Artoria by the arm. "Majesty, despite my own instincts, let us enjoy our friendly match for today."

Artoria sighed. "Fine, no point in being rude."

Nanoha spoke again. "Joan and Artoria, take the front row."

Now Artoria began to smile in a confident way, shining with excitement, determination and charisma. With her statuesque beauty put on display by the less than modest bikini, in the event her opponents were men, they would've defaulted.

Hayate had a good chuckle about it and looked around the field. Artoria wasn't the only lovely lady.

"Medusa, you and I are in the front, Shamal, Rin and Sakura bring up the rear."

Zafira, Vita, Nove and the children sat as spectators. Vivio cheered on happily "Go Fate mama! Go Nanoha mama!"

Hayate smiled from ear to ear. "Right, before we begin, anyone who cheats gets a 3 points penalty. And by cheat I mean go beyond your abilities via magic. With that out of the way, team Nanoha serves first."

Back on Liberta, under the Amsel family house, Karen spoke to Stella. "Is Freya ready to go?"

"Almost sis. We're lucky I keep this thing in repair all the time. Couldn't do it without your help."

Karen chuckled. "That and the stuff we get from challengers."

Annabelle was also ready to go. "So what are we doing sis?"

"Those sods in the TSAB have gotten too big for their britches. We're not gonna wait for them to come to us. We'll beat the shit out of their precious aces first."

The Grendel family arrived on the scene, with Maria speaking wryly. "So we'll hit them first and they'll drop this idea?"

"When we've got Freya on our side, they'll drop that shit in an instant." Karen responded in kind. "You ready Stella?"

Lola Grendel stepped up, grinning with interest and excitement. "Need any help there?"

"Nope, it's ready, just made sure it wouldn't destroy our mansion when it gets going. All aboard!" Stella replied happily.

The Freya was a mighty arrow shaped ship, with its bridge in the heart of the widest part. It bristled with weaponry of all kinds. Stella, happily dancing inside the main control circle of the bridge prepared it to launch as her family and the Grendel family boarded.

"So where we going?" Maria asked.

Karen grinned. "I got a good tip about where those guys are having a vacation."

"How do you know it's legit?"

"They gave me a Bureau secret code. it's legit"

Maria grinned. "Nasty surprise."

Karen mirrored her grin. "Wouldn't have it any other way."
