Magischer Kriegers Chapter Three
Hi there this RedRat8 and this is my first attempt at doing fanfiction so take it easy with me as I attempt to write this story to improve my writing skills in general.
Disclaimer I own neither Masked Rider nor Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, if I did I would be pretty damn happy with my life, let the story begin now.
"At any rate since the three of us now know one another's 'origins'" Yu pointed out sarcastically diverting attention to himself once more.
"We should find some way to track down those Jewel Seeds before they can do any more harm." Which both Nanoha and Yuuno nodded to.
"Well even though there is more to earth magic than I assume, we should be able to track down those Jewel Seeds pretty easily as Raising Heart was made to track and capture such dangerous items in the first place so we should be okay there." Yuuno pointed out causing some relief for Yu and Nanoha.
"Even so, that would still mean that Nanoha still has to fight and… let's face it she's unused to fighting and magic in general." Yu pointed out earning a pout from Nanoha but a grumbling nod in conformation, to which Yuuno gave an easy solution to.
"Ah, don't worry Raising Heart also has a mental training program with a series of spells that she can learn how to use, so she could spend some nights studying on how to use said spells and she should be able to do most of them as Raising Heart does say she has pretty good magic reserves and potential." Earning a relived look from Nanoha and an understanding look from Yu.
"Good, well that settles everything for the night so let's turn in and rest and get ready for training tomorrow; as there is no classes tomorrow anyways." Yu finished but Nanoha wasn't about to sleep until one question on her mind remaining was answered.
"Ney Yu-Kun?" causing Yu to look at her in confusion, "judging from what you spoke about how magic works here, could it be possible that I too am an a Gate?" causing Yu's eyes to widen and a massive debate with Knight discussing that possibility with Yu deciding not to keep knowledge that she deserves to know from her.
"In all likelihood you most definitely are a Gate" causing Nanoha to pause for a bit.
"But according to Knight you won't be developing a Phantom anytime soon due to how different you magic source developed now… which. We. Just. Found. Out. Now." As Yu slowly finished and looked at Nanoha in shock, causing the girl to look nervously and blushing a bit at how intense his eyes were.
"W, w what is it Yu-kun?" Nanoha asked nervously, a few minutes later, only to be caught by total surprise when Yu-kun broke out into one massive grin and starting hugging and twirling her around embarrassing the poor girl to no end.
"Ah sorry about that Nanoha" Yu spoke up embarrassedly once he realized what he's done and Knight just laughing at his 'courage', "it's just that due to the way you magic source developed now, you are no longer in danger of ever getting a Phantom." "AHH." Yuuno and Nanoha both understood now why he was so happy.
"You have to understand Nanoha, one of the major reasons why I did not want you involved with the Magic World was so that you don't ever found out about these kind of horrors, nor did I want to oust you out to Section Zero; who keeps tabs of such people in the events they display magic."
"Ah, so you did this for my sake then Yu?" Nanoha asked shyly? Taken aback by such a reaction, I ignored it for now to continue my explanation; and for some reason Knight is pounding on the floor laughing… meh I'll get to the bottom of that later.
"Yes Nanoha, you saw what happened in today's battle that's why I did not want you involved with this; but considering circumstances once more, I guess that practically flew out the window and burned spectacularly." I finished very much annoyed.
"But anyways we should try to get some sleep now, it is like 2 in the morning you know?" Then we proceeded to get into our respective beds with Yuuno sleeping on the spare pillow Nanoha's parents had around.
But all I could think was that we are in for one heck of a road trip in tackling these Jewel Seeds, but hey if our plan doesn't work then we will make much of it up on the go then; now I just need to figure out a training session that will work for Nanoha, guess I could get her started on the meditating part so she can focus clearly and learn spells while she at it, kill two birds with one stone.
(Next Day out in the Dojo)
During this time with no Jewel Seeds active Yu and Yuuno did everything they could to catch Nanoha up in her usage of magic and much to the surprise of Yuuno she had a very deep learning curve in learning how to fight, with Yu providing an opponent to spar to test her spell; which normally would have woken people up except for the fact that all of Nanoha's family were under a stronger than normal sleep spell, courtesy of Yu and his sleep ring.
"Photon Buster!" Defend Now! "Divine Shooter!" Teleport Now! "Cross Buster!" Explode Now!
So yeah Nanoha was practicing a variety of spells courtesy of Raising Heart and Yuuno, while Yu act as a target to help improve her skill in fighting but mostly on the defensive with occasion fighting done on his end.
It was also during this session that not only was Nanoha a natural-born genius, she excelled at shooting spells in general so Yu and Yuuno had her focused on that since Yu was no slouch in CQB, courtesy of Nanoha's older brother and father, so they can have YU focusing as bait while Nanoha is the catcher.
'All in all it was a good set-up to work with' Yuuno thought as he saw these two sparring once more after their five minute break. 'But seriously even rank AA magic wielder won't be able to do what these two can do, and they're only nine or ten; these two will become serious monsters in the future.' Yuuno concluded as the two finished their last spar and started to work on the mental aspects of using magic.
'What's more interesting that Yu's magic looks like a variation of Ancient Belka and Mid-Childa magic in the fact that he uses both melee focused attacks with range focused attacks with more focus of melee, if fact it could be compared to Modern Belka magic preserved by the church.'
'Another interesting thing to note about Yu's magic is that it relies heavily on devices in the form of rings, in that they have a pre-cast spell ready in them and all Yu needs to do is to put the ring over the catalyst signal and there goes the magic. Granted it would be a waste of devices, but that means they don't have to wait as long as we do to cast our own spells; so overall if Yu and Nanoha were to fight each other seriously it would be in theory Mid-Childa's versatility vs Earth's magic speed; and sometime speed determines the winner.' As Yuuno finish recording his thoughts on Yu's magic system in its pros and cons. Just then which both kids finished their training for the day and took the rest of the day off in the events that Jewel Seeds go active.
"Well that was one educational fighting lesson." Yu said as he took a long gulp from a bottle of water.
"True I think I have a better idea of what I can do now and what would work in the situation that we are in." Nanoha said as she was resting on the couch fanning herself a bit.
"Point, but remember Nanoha these Jewel Seeds are completely wild so we have to remain on guard furthermore there's something that Yuuno mentioned that disturbed me a bit actually." Yu warned Nanoha.
"What do you mean Yu-kun?" Nanoha questioned, before Yu started to go into a tirade about the circumstances.
"Think about it Nanoha, it just so happens that Yuuno was transporting 21 dangerous objects and it just so happens to crash on a planet not administered by the TSAB, in which the normal response would have to fall back and grab support, while the seeds are just there doing nothing until picked up or desired by another person?" Yu pointed out each point and Nanoha started to connect the dots.
"So you're saying that someone sabotaged Yuuno's ship to try and steal the seeds?" Nanoha asked to which Yu nodded, "Of course this could be just a coincidence, but it is better to be safe than sorry Nanoha." To which Nanoha agreed with as well, but she wondered who would do it and why they would try to steal them.
(Next Day)
{Jewel Seed detected 4 blocks northwest from here} Raising Heart announced much to the surprise and relief of the gang as they rush to get to the seed before the situations escalates to arrive at the local pool. Only to stop completely when said Jewel Seed turned into some kind of water tentacle monster out of a hentai anime, not that these two would know what hentai is(bless their innocent minds), stealing…underwear from females of all ages.
At this point Yuuno collapsed due to nose bleed and Nanoha's face turned tomato red and started wobbling a bit, while Yu just felt a massive headache forming with a strange desire to ram his head against the wall. While Knight who hadn't spoke up in a while since that death threat, save for the constant laughter at Yu, and was actually kind of pissed off seeing that thing.
"My host I demand we destroy that, that abomination and burn it to the ground so it will never annoy or hurt anyone ever again, NOW!" Yeah Knight was pissed beyond measure, then again as much as of an annoyance he can be at times, he was a Phantom that is based off the knights and so he has a strong sense of chivalry after all.
"Nanoha get ready to take down that perverted monster!" Yu then shouted out bringing Nanoha out of her embarrassment and now looks determined to fight, as I ready a water ring for times like these.
"Henshin!" I shouted as Nanoha started to be surrounded by pink light once more. "Change Now! Sui-Sui, Sui-Sui!" As I then transformed into a knight with blue armor, sea symbols, this is Warlock's Water Spear form! Then Solomon's Cane then transformed into a black harpoon with blue runes running all over it. Then Nanoha and I charged at it intending to destroy it.
Dodge, slash, "Divine Striker!" stab, "Liquid Now!" as me and Nanoha attacked the thing Nanoha got to a respectable distance and just started pelting the damn thing with so many spells… huh I did not think Nanoha could go that fast, then again she probably was just as offended as Knight was.
Normally I would be worried about being pelted with spells of considerable strength from Nanoha, but I am currently liquid right now so I won't most of them. I struck at the legs hoping to trip it up, using my explode ring to knock it back and then used multiple strikes to punch and kick at it to disorient it a bit, just as Yuuno, who just got back up, says we are almost there and Nanoha just needs to perform a long spell to finally kick back to its seed form.
Nodding in understanding I readied one of my final attack spells "Kick Strike fabulous!" then a torrent of water surrounded me disorienting the seed monster even further just as Nanoha finished her spell and we aimed our power at it.
"Divine Buster!" "Aqua Vortex!" we both shouted as the same time as my kick powered into a watery drill blast it damaging the damn thing then Nanoha's spell then finished it off just as Raising heart went towards it and sealed the Jewel Seed away.
Just as we finished fighting, I looked around and realized that we were surrounded by female underclothing and Nanoha at this point realized it to and started staring into the ground. Deciding to spare the girl any further embarrassment I walked up to her and tapped on her shoulder, to which she finally looks up and see me.
"I will deal with the memory spell so no one remembers this and you try to quickly return the underclothes to the lost and found and we will never ever speak of this incident ever again, okay with that?" I asked Nanoha, and she nodded furiously and then we set up to clean whatever damage we could to make it look natural.
(Back at Nanoha's house)
"Well, that was something." I started and finished lamely, and to my surprise Nanoha just agreed with me, while Yuuno looked completely embarrassed, understandable considering he just fainted when he saw the half-naked girls and all the underwear about. So I decided to change the topic, much to the relief of Yuuno and Nanoha.
"So Nanoha you got any of that sprinkled doughnuts around in your café still?" I asked with a bit of a gleam in my eyes, to which Nanoha looked surprised, but smiled and nodded and brought me to the storeroom for almost all their goodies, but there was without doubt the greatest treasure the world has ever known, rainbow-sprinkled doughnuts. Even better there were five of them just waiting to be devoured by yours truly, then I dashed towards it and ate it like it was the nectar of gods.
Nanoha's POV
I couldn't help but giggle a bit as I saw Yu tearing into the doughnuts like there was no tomorrow, but honestly I would never have expected that he has inherited Mr. Soma's obsession with doughnuts, something that Mrs. Soma was aggravated by to no end whatsoever, but he didn't inherit the same taste for plain sugar instead going for sprinkled doughnuts; something that shocked Mr. Soma to no end but amused Mrs. Soma as she happened to like sprinkled-doughnuts a lot.
It was honestly something that made feel better considering the circumstances of our situation, it just feels nice to have some semblance of normalcy around even if said normalcy is just one cute kid watching- Wait minute where did those thoughts come from? She totally did not crush on her best friend was she?
Yuuno's POV
Seeing these two kids interact made me feel better about myself, even though they were in a dangerous situation they were still be able to interact normally and feel childish still. I honestly blame myself for many of my mistakes, but one of my bigger regrets was involving two kids in this mess in the first place, I mean they're kids for goodness sake! They should be playing games, having fun with friends, going to school, and be kids. But they are now involved in something bigger and something extraordinarily dangerous. If these two ever get hurt because I involved them… I'd probably never forgive myself; that's why we need to finish this quickly before the situation escalates and so these kids can go back to being kids.
Yu's POV
As I was digging into the amazing food of the gods known only as Sprinkled Doughnuts, Knight was having me go over the battle to see what we did right and what we did wrong and he admitted that we did pretty good for our first battle, but he and I both knew we had many more battles to go through and there was also that question of who was behind the sabotage of Yuuno's ship, ah well we work that out later right now I need me some Sprinkle Delight in my stomach.
On one of the skyscrapers there was a little blonde haired girl who looked so stoic that she could have passed off as a doll, who was going over the battle that she manage to witnessed and examined quietly without anyone noticing.
"Fate, Fate, Faaaaate, hello Fate you in there!" someone shouted out finally knocking the girl out of her concentration mood only to see a red haired woman with clothes that do not leave much to the imagination, while the girl now known as Fate could only sigh. "Alph what do you want now?"
"Fate you've been stuck here since you saw that other people were gathering the Jewel Seeds but I don't see what is two mages to be so worried about." The now identified Alph pointed out.
"Even if they are just two mages, they could pose a threat to our mission, furthermore one of the mages has display advance levels of magic indicating she could be some sort of prodigy, and those kind of people can seriously hamper our mission." Fate pointed out, to which Alph reluctantly agreed with the assessment on. While showing the Nanoha pointing Raising Heart at the enemy, only to shift to Yu in Warlock causing multiple explosions using one of his rings.
"Not only are our opponents just a prodigy, which could be dealt with due to the fact that I too am a prodigy as well with apparently more experience. One of the important thing to know is that the second person, a boy shows an unusual form of magic style." To which Fate then grew very serious as she spoke out her next words.
"That would make him an unknown Wild Card, only the other girl; we only have some of his magic spells which are apparently pre-cast and easy to handle with no formulas at all and as much as I hate to admit it sometime speed determines the winner." Fate admitted to the potential danger Yu posed, while also finishing her last assessment on him.
"Not only does he have an unknown magic style, which can be very fast, we also have no ideas as to what his limits are, can he summon multiple familiars to help him? Is he a combat expert like I am? Can he get stronger? What else can he do with his magic? And finally how many are there that are just like him waiting to see what happened?" Fate finished with a contemplating expression.
"No Alph we cannot rush this when you consider all these variables around, we have to watch and examine him so we can see any potential weaknesses he has so we can take advantage of it in the future where we will confront him and her over possession of the Jewel Seeds they have."
To which Alph finally nodded reluctantly over the possible dangers that now face them in their quest for the Jewel Seeds.
"Besides Mother might take an interest and she might finally start to love me again despite all my failures." Fate added in silently but also sadly as well, causing Alph to frown deeply at the thought of that woman, whom she cannot help but despise with every fiber of her being; but keeps quiet for Fate's sake.
"So for now Alph let us continue our search for the seeds while we also observe how this wild card affect how thing will go for us." She finished and then turning back to where the city was, she floated upwards and flew to the city searching for any possible seeds, while Alph just stayed back and sighed sadly over how cruel her master was treated.
"Sometimes Fate I wish you could just walk away from this danger." She murmured sadly before hardening her eyes in determination to help her master, but thought one last thing, 'unknown mages if you do get in our way we will show no mercy and I will not stop till we get what we need; so I hope you are ready for the fight of your life.' Alph vowed as she jumped down and transformed into a red dog and started sniffing for the Jewel Seeds.
Back at Nanoha's Home
Both Yu and Nanoha felt a cold shiver up their spines but ignore it in favor of the game they were playing right now with the rest of Nanoha's family. While Knight sensed the chill and stared deep into the underworld wondering what ill omens could befall his host and his friends.
End
Author's Notes
So yeah here was their first battle against another such monster and we see a bit of training with the kids as they prepare for the conflict and in the meantime we see Fate observing her rivals and ready to take them on in the possible future.
