Third Chapter is up

I was thinking of 30 chapters should be enough to tell my story

But I am not sure

A man was sitting in his chair calmly look at his screen as text was scrolling up. 'hmm... this might work if we can create a distraction in sector 090 and have protestors create a break for us in these planets' as he point his finger at the galaxy map. 'We may have a another front in which we can divide government troops here and cause their supply lines to be stretched' he was looking at the map thinking a way to improve the current plan. The operation the man was thinking about was star dust. This is a counter attack and to avenge their defeat on Xonus now TSAB-world #32.

Which held the second largest shipyard of the federation, many thought the planet was safe from the government but they were wrong. Pay dearly for it, the losses were heavy on the federation losing 50,000 personal and countless ships. Many were being built, but once the navy discovered that they can't hold back the government forces. The navy was force to scuttle their ships and the shipyard itself to prevent it to fall in the enemy hands.

However the government couldn't celebrate their victory, since they couldn't prevent the rebels as they destroy the shipyard. Also they lost lighting squadron, with the squad leader killed in action. Teana Lanster lost her life when she battle her former friend, she and her squad gave up their lives in the fight. However her former friend survive the encounter and now rest in Iaruta (TSAB- world #53). Everyone have felt the pain of losing someone and Nanoha had the most pain with friends shooting each other, her own daughter now the enemy leader. Nanoha had to deal a heavy blow to Fate the last time they fought on Shudalea (TSAB- world #30) in which she had to lock up her friend. The puppet master herself Hayate felt no joy any more, but a drive to end this fight, she doesn't want to bury any more family and friends. Her guardians felt the same way as before, they will go though hell and back for their master. However as the war drag on, and have seen what people can do and go to certain length. Vita had no choice but strike down some of her former students and those who consider her a friend.

Vita was the one who dealt a blow to Erio in their last battle with each other. Vita had a bittier experience and founded this whole mess of war as something she want to escape from. Shamal healing the sick and wounded in her medical office that gave her time to talk to the soldiers. Listening to stories of the fallen told by their squad mates and was there for wounded in their last moments. Shamal sometimes wrote the death letters sent home to their families and it broke her heart as she wrote to them. Zafira was ready to settle down and make a family before the coup. With him and Alph in a nice home, but it was not to be so in the end this war split them up. Both of them on different sides and they long for each other wishing for this dumb war to end. Meanwhile Reinforce Zwei did as she was told just following order from her master. Signum fighting was in her blood, but she did believe in the cause at first. Later on in the years Signum began to question was this the justice I am fighting for. A crisis in her faith, she is a knight and yet here is Signum fighting the Saint Church. This whole mess of dead and destruction has made scars on everyone it touch. Some of which can't be healed or be forgiving by others yet.

"Captain we are now approaching the dobragua system and sir I think we have something you want to see" as a women told the captain. The captain look at his crew member and said "Yes I will be there". Getting out of his seat and making his way to the bridge, on the way there he was looking at system data 'So this is where Claudia escape to'. 'I need to save whoever is left on the ship and I hope every one is alright' he worried about the ship fate. Doors to the bridge is open in step the captain "Captain we have found Claudia and another ship near it" said his first officer Alph.

"Alph you don't have to call me captain just call me Yuuno" joyfully told Captain Yunno as he step on the bridge of Auricula. First officer Alph smiled and said in a teasing tone "I don't think so cause it protocol to call you captain and plus it has a nice ring to it". Cap Yunno smiled at his first officer 'Indeed it does but I never get used to hearing that' look out the main bridge. Cap Yunno never wished to be in this war or have a command in it. But his knowledge was useful on both sides, so the government tired to contain him, but he was kidnapped by the confederation with Vivio her Majesty taking a part. 'Boy what a rescue that was' Cap Yunno remembering fondly as he thought back to that day.

Auricula came out of dimension travel and came upon the UNS Arcadia near the broken wreck of Claudia. UNS Arcadia dwarf Claudia so large in size and it even look like it be the biggest ship the Auricula ever saw. A flying skyscraper as many try to compare it to something they are familiar with. Even by UN navy standards it was large and it was designed like that since it need to be a heavy carrier class. During the rebellion on Mars the UN army needed ground support, however the current class of carriers was consider to be light. The light carriers were often target by the Martians navy and UN navy couldn't defend them all. So they decide to design a new carrier that can defend it self by carrying its escort fleet in it. More decks for aircraft and expanded the weapons load outs for a multi purpose role. It was indeed a command and control ship for flotillas to planetary invasion.

Many questions now spring up 'What kind of ship is that?','Did the government build that' Cap Yunno had many questions for the ship and her crew. "Alph run so scans on it and hail the ship" turning to look at Officer Alph and she respond "Yes right away". Auricula spring to life as many of the crew expect battle stations and now some began to wonder if they can survive the encounter. However on board the UNS Arcadia the crew detected an unknown ship approaching them, but before they can alert the captain. They just have finished listening to a crazy story and a unknown ship appear. 'This day just keeps getting better and better' as Captain Snarri turn to look at a possible new threat to his crew."Captain we are being hailed, what should we do?" said Oracle as she began scan the unknown ship and preparing to raise shields. At that moment Caro was looking at the unknown ship she realize something " Ah... Wait! that Yunno ship" shout out Caro as she point at the Auricula. Cap Snarri looked at Caro face and notice the expression on her face, one of recognition.

Turn back and facing Oracle face to face "Answer the hail Oracle that ship is friendly" breathing a sigh a of relief as Captain Snarri began to wonder how should he respond to this Yunno person. "But Captain how can you be so sure of being a friendly ship" said Com Thomas as he question Cap Snarri on his decision. "We won't be here discussing this" said Cap Snarri as remember the story about the ship the government uses. "Captain the ship answered the hail" said Alph looking up from her console to the main screen. Where a man appear in a gray officer like uniform that didn't match any known navy. "This is Captain Snarri of the UNS Arcadia from the United Nations of Earth and to whom I am speaking to " Cap Snarri speaking loudly to the crew of Auricula. 'Earth the non administration world #97 !?' everyone first thought and now people were expression mixed emotions.

"General Hayate there a call for you" said personal secretary to Gen Hayate on the communicator from her desk to Gen Hayate desk. Breaking from her daydream and looking at her secretary "Yes I will take it now" said Gen Hayate as she knew who it was. "Hello General its good to see you again and yes the new batch of robots should be online for the big operation you have plan" wide grin as Jail Scaglietti talked about his new robots. "Ah Jail its good to see you and are the robots shipped to the preparation zones" said Gen Hayate as she received the specifications on the new combat robots on her console. "Yes ma'am as we speak the robots are being put in place now" "General I want to expand the production on these robots and have them be more deadly" said Jail as he look for confirmation. "Jail I know that and how been asking for one, but it seems that the rebels are finding them and destroying them... it seems that we can't grant your request now as this time" said Gen Hayate as she knows that. "General I understand, how about my request on artificial mages and combat cyborgs we can out number and out gun them" Jail excitedly ask since he can't wait to develop more combat cyborgs. "Not yet Jail it seems to me that this war might not need them for now" said Gen Hayate as she didn't want artificial mages or cyborgs. "You are dismiss Jail but do call me about project NEX, I want details about it" said Gen Hayate as she wonders about this new project. "Yes general I will keep you post it and have a nice day" said Jail as he ended the call.

The one who profited the most from this war was Jail since he got funding for any research he want. No matter what since it was all done in the name of justice and ending this war. Also he got to see the so called heroes tear themselves apart from all the fighting and destruction they have caused. But he didn't want to see it to end, so though out the war he played double agent. Giving information away to both sides and the goal was to extend the war with an add bonus of continuing his research. The justification was simple all the resources and technology need to be use no matter where it came from. However don't think Jail hasn't something up his selves.

"Ah right I need to call Nanoha about what to do for dinner" said Hayate as she realize. "Ah...yes...Good afternoon to Nanoha...I want to ask what do you want for dinner...yes...right...okay see you then" speaking to Nanoha and ending the call. 'Sigh' Hayate mentally sigh, 'its been a while since we had a group dinner now I think about' as she thought about it. 'Alright then I should have everyone come over' 'Wait a second Vita is currently patrolling the sector over Xonus and Shamal is at the hospital still over there, Signum and Zafira are setting up the operation now' 'So that means its just me and Nanoha and Zwei' Hayate sigh again as she felt lonely again in her life. Hayate looked over a photo on her desk, the picture is everyone from Lost Property Riot Force 6.

Meanwhile Nanoha was coming back from her prison visit and after the call from Hayate. Nanoha knew that it would be Hayate and Zwei coming over to dinner. She didn't mind about it, plus it was better than just herself again. At least she didn't have to put up a fake smile or a mask to wear. Her real emotions for once no need for fanfare or the media bother her. Just a real friend for a change someone she can tell about her problems. Nanoha did have a problem though she didn't like how the rebel were quiet. No movement for the past few days something was up and she knew it, but couldn't pin point to it. She will bring it up with Hayate at the dinner and hopeful the spies can answer her question. In the end it didn't matter since this operation will break the rebels once and for all. Then she can have old friends and family everything will back to normal.

Captain Snarri look out the main bridge window and with a deep heavy sigh. Turned back to look at Caro and said "I don't we should get involved in this" pausing a bit but continue on "It's not our place to interfere with out people business". Caro looked at Cap Yunno for help but what she got was this "Caro he is right though, it's not their war" Cap Yunno said and he agreed with Cap Snarri. After some explaining everyone catch up to current situation and now they debate each other about involvement from Untied Nations of Earth.

"But Captain Yunno they might the key to ending all this fighting" pleading her case as Caro is desperate looking for any solution to end this war. "Captain Yunno I know your people have been fighting for a long time, but that can't be our fight" "We can't help you and if we could we need approve from our government to do so" Cap Snarri said but he felt dishonest as he was saying this. Since Cap Snarri knows his government wouldn't get involved and plus everyone on board on UNS Arcadia has just dealt with Mars rebellion and losing family and friends. He can't ask everyone on board UNS Arcadia to fight a war when they just got out of one. Captain Yunno also has similar feelings about the situation, even though it would be nice to have them on their side, but he can' force them. So he had no choice but to shoot down Caro idea of roping in someone else to fight in their war.

But before anyone can say any more both ships have a reading of a other ship coming in out of dimension space. However Captain Yunno wasn't traveling with anyone else or the UNS Arcadia too. This ship is different only this time weapons are being point on them both.
