I have no words for this chapter and the next one so I hope you enjoy.

*Same disclaimer as before*

It is now the afternoon and life was normal. Well for anyone who were not those in the magical world as for them it was very boring. Not more so then Drav who was just lying by the pod's cockpit. He sighs and thought to himself.

'God I am so bored around here. I know that the mission was to bring Gaia back and to get data but still the fact that I can't make myself shown is so annoying!'

Just as he was about to take a nap, a beeping sound rang around the pod and annoyed, Drav pushed a button on the control console and a hologram appeared revealing Saika, Anna and Ixia. "Well if it isn't my favorite people. To what do I owe you all this call?" Drav spoke with a joking tone.

The second in command rubs his temples in frustration and instead just tells the man on Earth. "Well if you must know, Gaia is active again." This made Drav to use his device to start the searching process. With it, he saw that It is indeed true, Gaia was active and while it was stationary at the moment who knew if it would move again. Anna cupped her chin and thought out loud. "That is odd. We would only get the signal when Gaia was active but now it is active. In fact," as she said this, the drill haired woman brings up a hologram that kept a small log of Gaia's data. "It would only work on random times. That means that the person who has the prototype now must have been training. And since mrs. Takamachi is around, he must have been training with her. I think you should take the signal and find him."

"I agree with Anna. Drav, take the data and begin your search." Ixia spoke allowing Drav to nod but not before Saika spoke to Drav with a warning. "Just in case the two officers show up again, bring some drones to slow them down a bit. All right? Good luck." as the feed ends.

The sandy-haired man then just sat in his pod to think. He was told his mission and he was going to go and make it work but something was bugging him. Closing his eyes, Drav went through two options, one was to follow orders and do the same as last time or the other was something a bit more different. From there Drav thought.

'The last time I brought drones, they got destroyed by those two. While I had the guy, he was saved. So what if I just...Yes that is prefect!'

Finally happy with his choice, Drav has a feral grin on his face and so he turns on his device and began to hunt for Shiro only now with a different plan.

Meanwhile at the campus, Shiro's class was over and he was getting ready to head out to the waiting area to continue his training. After Yuuno's little shield lesson, it made Shiro want to try what he did before with his self training but not as stressful. With some time, he was doing some small training when he had time but now with the will of making something like his Grand Tri-Shield he made. So with practice, the knowledge from Fate's spar with him and Gaia's help he got the basics down and was really happy with how the big spell would work out. He smiles while looking at Gaia, happy and thought to himself. 'Man, I can't wait to show Nanoha and Fate.' as he was about to put his backpack on his back and leaves.

However Shiro feels a hand on his shoulder and when he turns around, he sees Hitoshi staring at him. Now the two have not spoken to each other at all due to what happened between them and yet here was Hitoshi looking at him. Not knowing what to do, the onyx eyed man could only scratch his head and asks. "Yes Hitoshi what is it?"

Taking a deep breath, Hitoshi spoke back to Shiro. "Well, after today, I want to talk with you." From there Shiro looks back at his friend's eyes and saw that what he may wish to talk about has to be very serious and so he respond back with a 'sure' leaving Hitoshi to only smile and walk away. With that done, Shiro then starts going his own way by walking to the waiting area. He taught about Hitoshi and him, rubs his head and looks at the sky above.

"Even I feel awful for what happened. Maybe we should have talked about our feelings more." said a distant Shiro still looking at the clouds. Then he slaps his face and with a bright smile, runs to the area while saying "Yeah we can talk it out. I just hope that Hitoshi will accept my apology when I get back." Now with a new resolve, Shiro holds his head up high and starts continue with his run. Just then, the young man slowly stops running once he gets to the spot and feels something off about the air and that caused him to turn around, hoping to find the source of the chill of the air.

Meanwhile Hitoshi as he walked stopped and snapped his fingers. "Crap I knew that there was something I forgot to tell Shiro. There was a paper from class that I must have forgot about briefly. Crap I should find him if I go to the student area." And Hitoshi turned around to run off, going to Shiro's general location. However the minute he does this, he will find something very shocking to discover that has been under his nose.

When he got there just a few seconds later, Hitoshi spots his best friend looking around like he lost his head or something. He walks over to a tree and peeked his head out to continue watching. "Ok really what is up with Shiro? He never acted like this before so what is his deal?" Hitoshi whispered in a quiet tone as Shiro was moving on with what he was doing. At the sight of this, some students were seeing this event unfold until something happened. A dome had showed up around the general and everyone who was at the area disappeared. However, something odd occurred as first while everyone disappeared as usual, Shiro was still around the area but also Hitoshi stayed shocking enough leaving him to wonder what happened to the other students?

Then a new question arrived in the form of rushing sounds by some bushes and out came Drav, now with his barrier jacket and device out ready to fight Shiro. In retaliation to this, the young short haired man defends with his low level shield, causing Shiro to defend. In the sidelines, Hitoshi's mouth was open as he sees his friend defend against the mysterious person as the two talked.

"Oh it is nice to see you again after so long. How have you been?" Drav told Shiro with a grin on his face as the young man who was shocked to see the attacker again, asked him the obvious question, "You!? Why are you attacking me now? Also why are you still here?" The two break the clash as Drav prepares a fighting stance staring at his opponent with a fierce glare. He starts to speak with him while chucking.

"Dude you really are a wannabe dog are you? If you must know, I am sure you still remember what I am here for." He points at Gaia on Shiro's right wrist leading him to speak again. "That device still on you. Since I am still on duty, I am ordered to take it from you. But I still wish to have another fight with you and really...I really wanted to have more fun with our hunt." He says this with a big grin on his face. Hitoshi narrowed his eyes at the man about to fight Shiro and something clicked in his head.

For as long as he knew Shiro, he is not the type of person who would fight. He would instead just keep to himself and as such, be a drone reading or doing something quiet. 'Besides knowing him, he will not fight back at all as he would just walk away.' he thought while looking at the man on the opposite side. Although that is what Hitoshi was believing that his friend would do that, the realty was something short of a surprise. Shiro instead sighs and looks at Drav while saying with a stare back.

"Look I would not fight you..." That made Hitoshi smile and think that the situation he thought would happen but...Shiro raises his device up and spoke with resolve, "However if you are so sure in fighting and if you will not let me go then fine. You want a fight, I will give you a fight. Gaia set up!" Then a bright light surrounds the young mage, blinding Hitoshi while Drav just looked on. Once the lightshow ended, Shiro is now in his jacket holding his sword like he always does. So to take advantage of this given the usual start up from any beginner mage and thinking that this guy is the same as he was last time, Drav summons a projectile and fires it at Shiro. Hitoshi sees the shot and was about to do something until he hear the word from a source.

'Tri-Shield.'

And with that, Shiro raises his left hand and summons his shield to block the shot. The end result causes Drav to dash at Shiro which leads to Hitoshi being even more surprised as Shiro also dashes at Drav and the two clash. Shiro, now with a bright smile on his face tells Drav the following.

"See that? I've learned a good amount since last time and now even though I know the odds are against me and I know you have more experience then me. But despite that, I will fight and I will NOT give up. You can count on it. I am not the same 'puppy' you fought before!"

The two of them then continue to push each other, each slowly testing the other with Drav slowly smiling obliviously having some fun with the start. But someone was really in awe in these events. Hitoshi could only watch at the two still pushed forcing to think.

'Wait a damn minute here. Magic is really a thing and it actually exists? But how is it possible and also when did Shiro and this guy fight each other? Just really...WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?'

So yeah remember when I said I was going to post two chapters a month? I am going to do that but just this once, it will be three chapters. These two will be the start of the rematch and the end of the fight. Meanwhile the next will be the after math of the fight like the last time I did this. Shiro and Drav met again but this time, Hitoshi sneaks behind to find out what is up. Next chapter will be the rest of the fight and as always, give me any suggestions so I can improve on my skill and thank you all for your time. Be seeing you guys!
