Here we are: chapter 2. Same deal as before with me not owning anything apart from Shiro and the other OC's so yeah enjoy:

In a far away corner on the moon, lies a hidden base. A base that was not yet found by the Bureau and as such is not located. Inside, someone is walking to a black room with the only light able place being the windows away from the room. The person then bows to the dark area to begin the briefing.

"Sir, I have returned with some news." The person shrouded in darkness asks the man in a cool and collected voice.

"Hmm go on speak."

"Yes sir. We have sent the gadget drones to Earth below as you requested and the numbers have begun in their search for the device. Although, one of them have located the device at a place near a civilian area and went to get it back in your hands."

The mysterious person decides to ask more only a bit more direct "Then I would assume that something must have happened. If so, then move on with your report." With that, the other person continued.

The man explained to the person in shadows that while the drone in question was able to get to the device, it meets resistance in the form of two officers from the Bureau and the two sides fight with the drone wining. So just as the drone was about to be rid of them, he mentions that someone, a young man tried to fight the drone but was dragged around by it, thrown away and tries to fight back. Then the two officers destroyed the drone and the fight ended. The man finished by saying.

"And that is the report sir."

The figure just puts his fingers on his chin and thought about what has happened. A person from Earth can use a device but not just another device:the same one that he made and developed and is now bonded by it. This means that this person must have a Linker core.

'And if that is the case, this person could be a problem if not handled properly. Not to mention the two officers are a factor to consider as well while they would already be after the device, with this person the problem just got a lot bigger. Well then...'

The leader stares at the other person from the room and spoke of his new plan. "Saika I want you to be on track with the remaining drones we have on Earth. Have them on stand by and only scan the area where the device is. If the two officers and even this new person fight, then only send a small number. Understood?" Then the man known as Saika salutes and responds.

"Yes Professor Ixia at once." allowing him to walk to the door, and leave the room preparing the new operation while Ixia sits back.

However once Saika was gone, a man steps out of a pillar by the door leading to Ixia's room who was overhearing the entire conversion and had a smile but this was a different smile, a playful but sick one.

"Hmm so someone has the device now. May as well have some fun and see how strong this person is."

With that goal in mind, the man ran to a nearby hanger, stole a low level pod and set the coordinates for Earth.

Shiro then slowly but surely woke up and found himself in a room. His eyes widen as the room was not his dorm room but rather a small living room with a small couch. He tries to move his arms though finds out that he can't as they have bandages around and even his face, while he currently can't see due to the darkness, has some band-aids and he sighs.

Just as he was about to try and piece everything together, he hears a door opening and turns to see Nanoha and Fate walking to him with a look of concern on their faces as Fate turns on a light switch.

Nanoha then asks "How are you feeling? I am pretty much sure that you are very very shocked and confused right now so we will answer any questions." Shiro just looks at the two woman and then asks "Ok then I guess my first question is where are we?" Nanoha and Fate both saw the look of worry on his face and so they looked to each other, nodded in agreement and Fate responds to the man's questions.

"Well...to answer the first question, we have to introduce ourselves. I am Fate Testarossa Haralown and this is Nanoha Takamachi. We are a part of the Time Space Administration Bureau."

"Wait wait wait. I am sorry but what is this Bureau?" questioned Shiro, looking at Nanoha and Fate with a confused stare.

Noticing this, Nanoha took over and spoke to the young man."What Fate is saying is we are a part of an organization, a magic one whose goal is to take these relics called Lost Logia away from evil hands or to stop anything that can destroy the world or even the universe. That robot was a gadget drone, developed by the person along with his followers in order to take the device that bonded with you. The device is that same green jewel you used earlier today and finally you are in a room at a hospital near the area. Does that answer your questions?"

After hearing all of that, Shiro was trying to disclose what he saw, what Nanoha and Fate did and what he did. However it made some sense as the scars and the band aids on his arms were a dead giveaway, the fight did feel real. He sighs and spoke to the two.

"Kind of. I mean this is hard to take in. Magic powers, robots and the device thing I had makes no sense for me."

"If so, then why did you run in the heat of danger knowing full well that you would die?" asked Fate leaving Shiro to turn to the side and continue on.

He tries to grip his heart."Well I felt something that was screaming at me to help you two. At first I wanted to just move on and pretend it never happened. But the feeling was too strong and so I ran back, saw the fight and when you two were about to die, my legs moved on their own and I wanted to help. Everything else you both know and now I am at a lost."

Nanoha puts her hand on Shiro's left shoulder and smiled at him causing the man to still be confused "Well you still have time. Since classes start tomorrow, why don't you think on it? Then after that, meet me and Fate by the same spot where we met and tell us your decision. Be sure that whatever decision you make will be up to you so think about it ok?" Shiro then got up and slowly walked away from Nanoha and Fate and was about to go to the door but then he remembered something and turns to the two "Oh my god I forgot to introduce myself and to thank you both for treating my wounds. My name is Shiro Nagase. It is nice to meet you Nanoha, Fate." He then briefly bows leaving Nanoha to respond.

"Pleased to meet you Shiro."

"Likewise. Don't push yourself too hard. The doctor said you can move and leave when you are ready however your wounds may open from overuse. Ok?" spoke Fate with a smile.

Shiro then said with a bright smile "Ok I promise." as he walked away from the room leaving the two women alone. However just as the two were about to discuss something further, Shiro walks back to the room and now wore an embarrassed look. The two look at him and Fate asked "Uhh Shiro what is wrong? You look a bit..." Shiro precedes to try and rub his head but only briefly and responds. "Well you see I was about to walk back to the dorms, only to remember I barely even know where it is. Plus I could use the directions." Nanoha hits her hands together and she along with Fate, decided to walk with Shiro back to the dorms and as he reached the door, he turns to the two. "Again thank you both. I owe you so have a nice night." He ends with a smile, walks to the dorms with the door close and the two smiled as they walked away.

As they walked, Nanoha took out a piece of paper which had Shiro's data. While his wounds were being mended, the two not only sent the remaining parts from the drone they fought to Lindy but the data on Shiro as well. Once the data was brought back, Nanoha held on to that during the stay at the hospital.

She looks at the paper intently while Fate looks over her shoulder as the brunette sighs to speak to her friend. "Well the information checks out: he does have a linker core." Fate crosses her arms as Nanoha went on. "His magic from the core is very low and from that fight, his moves are very sloppy. However with proper training, even more on physical work, he could be a great mage with practice. Hmm..." The blond woman stared at Nanoha who had a look of wonder on her face. This look is the excited look of training someone in magic and given this development with Shiro, she wants to train him. "So I am assuming that you want to train him if he does make his decision?"

Nanoha then sheepishly rubs her head as Fate sighs at the act meaning that her hunch was on the money. "You are my best friend if you know me that much Fate. Yes I do want to train him which is why I still have the device with me." She pats a white box that was in her pocket as she continues. "I am shocked that he did not ask about the device itself. Although, he might still be trying to take all of this in as it is a big surprise. I am sure that he will make the right decision." Fate could only nod as the two were about to go and prepare for the next day.

It is morning and Shiro is walking to his first class of the day, now that his wounds are decently healed and sat down on a desk to wait for the teacher along with the other students. He was thinking about Nanoha said to him the other night about how it was his decision and that he was the one to make that choice. 'I can make a decision. And be helpful. If Nanoha and Fate can do all of that then maybe I...'

As he sat deep in thought, Hitoshi just stared at him from afar and crossed his arms with an blank look. "Hmm he is doing that again. He must be thinking about something. But the question is why?" Then Hitoshi chose to get up, walk to Shiro and playfully rubs his head, shocking the young man. He laughs a bit which in turn made Shiro push him off and glare at his friend.

Hitoshi just smiles and closed his eyes. "So you feel better?" "No I don't feel better Hitoshi god stop acting like a child. We are in college!" yelled Shiro still keeping his glare at his friend. But Hitoshi points Shiro to a faraway direction causing him to turn and look to see the students staring at him with a baffled look. Because of this, Shiro sat back down with a flushed look on his face leaving Hitoshi to copy his friend. The embarrassed young man sighs as he turns to Hitoshi. "Sorry Hitoshi for blowing up like that. Just a little on edge." Hitoshi just smiles and spoke. "No problem dude. Sometimes we need to let loose our anger sometimes. Just shocked that you could do that. Also what were you thinking about and why did you ran off yesterday?"

He raised an eyebrow while staring at Shiro, causing the poor young man to gulp and looked around in a panic. 'Oh damn what should I tell him. I can't tell him what happened. What can I do?' Sadly he could not think of anything as Hitoshi continued to stare at him, waiting for an answer. Shiro opens his mouth and was about to speak until the teacher came in to walk by the blackboard and prepare for the lesson. The black haired man sighed an inward sigh having dodged a bullet as he, Hitoshi and the other students are about to start the lecture and the school day.

However just as the professor was about to begin, the door opened to reveal Nanoha and Fate walking to him, spoke with him a bit and the two then sat down to two free seats. With that the lecture started and the students listened intently as Shiro was thinking to himself. 'What are those two doing here? How were they able to...No Shiro focus. Ask them after class.' So for the rest of the class, it went by uneventful.

Three hours later, most of the students were about to leave the classroom and head to their next class. Shiro took the chance to walk to where Nanoha and Fate were sitting in class to get some answers but when he got there, the two were gone. He searched around the area to try and find them only to find that some students were around but not the two women he met. Hitoshi appears from behind to tell his friend. "Hey Shiro we should get going to our next class..." He stopped to see his friend looking at the two desks and then shook him a bit. "Oh Hitoshi I am sorry. Right class. We can't be late." replied the man leading the two to precede to their next class.

A couple of hours later, Shiro and Hitoshi are sitting by the lunchroom now having just finished their classes. They each had a soda on opposite sides and started a conversion. "So we only have some classes together. Guess this is not like high school huh Shiro?" The man in question looked at Hitoshi and nodded. "Yeah. They do say that college is a lot harder then high school. Need to practice, study and all of that." spoke Shiro while Hitoshi sighs. With this, Shiro just plays with his hands while Hitoshi looks at him again.

"Uhh yeah Hitoshi what is it?" Hitoshi continues his staring at his friend and just bluntly asks. "So about those girls from earlier. They were not with us during the orientation the other day. What do you think made them almost late?" Shiro drank his soda, puts the cup down and replies to his friend. "Well, maybe they were late or held up with something like that. Whatever it is, it's none of our business. Right?" He looks at his friend hoping that Hitoshi would take the hint and was very happy when Hitoshi returns with a nod and smile. "Yeah I guess you are right. We really should just do our own thing and not bother them." "Right right. So why don't we just go back to the dorms and work on our..."

However, just as Shiro is about to say something, Hitoshi stops him by signaling with his hand to get him to stop. He starts by smirking. "Dude nice try. First of all, first day means that most of us don't have any work on the first day. Second of all, I know you have no homework and even if you do get it done, it is low level stuff. In other words, you will finish it in no time at all so what are you planing?" This reveal made Shiro gulp and trying to think of something, anything that could get Hitoshi off his back. Then he snaps his fingers and smiled back. "Oh really Hitoshi? Then what about your music studies? Do you have to make a starting piece just to get yourself familiar with what you have to practice in the future? Because while I don't have a big major yet, you do."

Hitoshi now had his eyes like a deer in headlights as he remembered that he did told Shiro this after they got to the lunchroom and with that, he ran to the door exiting the area but not before turning to Shiro to say "Dude not cool. Fine I will be working on that. See you later." The door closes leaving Shiro to rub his head in embarrassment, sat down and finished his drink.

It was daybreak as Shiro is walking to the courtyard, looking around the area. He continued his trek until he stops to stare at the ground and thought about what happened, believing that it was not his business. As he continued, he shook his head and stared at the pathway by the forest. Unsure of himself, he sighs and turns back to the path leading to the dorms. Shiro whispered to himself.

"I should just ignore all of that and just move on. A Nagase should forget things like that and follow one path. That is all I should do. Like I always do." With that he was about to turn and walk back until he stopped and thought briefly. 'Wait what the hell am I doing? Am I just running again? This happened last time and like before...' He grips his hands and turned his head back and forth to say. "I don't know what I want to do. Maybe I should just..." As he was about to finish his sentence, Shiro looks up at the blue sky, questioning his choice in the matter. He takes a deep breath, stops griping his hands and looks at the road to the forest.

"Last time I may have been scared, cowered in fear and even in shock of what happened but not this time. Even though my hands are shaking, I want to go through with this. I want to!" screamed Shiro as he runs to the path leading to the forest.

Meanwhile at the same spot where the fight was the other day, Nanoha and Fate were sitting by a tree, waiting to see if Shiro was coming or if he were to live a normal life, pretending that all of yesterday never happened. However the two woman were hoping for certain things. Nanoha was secretly hoping that Shiro would train while Fate was wondering what decision he would make. Well regardless, the two hear footsteps coming closer and closer and by the end of the trail led Shiro who stops in front of them panting. Once he was done, the young man spoke to the two. "Before I ask why you two are in the college, I want to tell you two what I have decided. I gave it some thought and it was not easy. I have decided..."

Nanoha and Fate await his answer as Shiro said. "I want to help you two, I want to know more about magic and I wish to fight. Please!" He waited for a decision from the two women but heard nothing which worried him deeply because he was afraid of being rejected. Just a few seconds later, Fate decided to speak.

"Shiro are you sure about this? Once you make this choice you may never go back to your normal life. Are you strong enough to make that choice?"

"I am. I will never break from my decisions and I won't regret them. I will go forward and fight. I will try my hardest! So please." responded Shiro who was really scared and shaking like a leaf while bowing.

Because of that strong determination, Nanoha had a bright smile and said "Calm down Shiro. Brilliant and nice decision. I can tell you want to go through with this so...you can fight with us." Shiro just looked up at the two and they each had a smile. Shiro was about to say more until Nanoha raised her hand to continue further. "However as you are now, you need proper training in the magical arts since your magic power is really low. I will train you until you truly unlock your potential and then once you do succeed, you may fight with Fate and I. But to do that catch!"

She throws a little green orb with a sliver band to Shiro who caught it with his hands. He opens them to see that it is the same jewel as before only a bit different. Fate began to explain to the young man. "That is your intelligent device now Shiro: the same one you used the other day. We took it from you and changed it so now you can wear it on you to keep it safe. Take good care of it." Shiro puts the bracelet on his right arm and the jewel glowed green 'Hello my Lord.' This caused the young man to be confused allowing Nanoha and Fate to giggle at him. "Uhh what the hell was that?" "Shiro that was your device talking. It has an AI installed just like mine and Nanoha's." spoke Fate leaving Shiro to be even more confused. As the pink marble shined on Nanoha's neck and a triangle glowed in Fate's hand.

"Shiro this is my device Raising Heart." told the auburn haired woman showing the man the pink marble who spoke.'Hello.' After that, Nanoha nodded to Fate so she would repeat the process."And this is mine Bardiche." 'Pleased to meet you.' replied the triangle.

Shiro was understandably shocked but he bowed and said "It is very nice to meet you both, Raising Heart. Bardiche. Then what is my device's name?" Nanoha spoke to Shiro while still smiling "The device's name in our reports was called Gaia." This made the man look at the device on his arm which made him say. "Gaia...I hope we can get along." 'I hope so too my Lord.' After that, Nanoha looked at the sky and noticed that it starting to get dark so she looked to Shiro and Fate and told them both. "Well since it is getting late, we will start training tomorrow after his final class is over. Understood Shiro?"

"Yes Ma am." spoke Shiro as the three then walked out of the woods. But then Shiro remembered what he wanted to ask the two. "So Nanoha, Fate quick question. Why are you two in the college?" The women just looked at each other, then back at Shiro and Nanoha answered. "It was to go undercover and protect the person who has Gaia. Since it bonded with you and the fact that you also have a linker core in your body, we have to make sure you are not harmed. And the other reason..." Then Nanoha wraps her right arm around Shiro who is lost and the auburn haired woman smiles to the man and spoke. "Is to make another friend." Shiro was at a lost for words as this random person is being way too friendly with him. He asked Nanoha with a flushed look. "Wait you consider a stranger like me a friend? I mean we only..." "Well this is the best way to start your training: getting used to this. I promise that you will just fine with me training you. Ok Shiro?" replied Nanoha with a bright smile forcing him to look to Fate who shrugs also with a smile. "Just trust her. She is one of the best teachers out there and the more practice you get, the more experience you will have." Shiro could only sigh as the three continued their walk.

On the next day, Shiro will be taking his first step in a new and dangerous world with many new things to explore. However, on that day it will be a brand new beginning to many battles ahead.

A/N:So Shiro's training will begin next chapter. I wonder how he will manage? Well obliviously, I know being the writer but shh not telling you guys. Be seeing you guys and hoped you loved this chapter.
