Magischer Kriegers Chapter five
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.
Several weeks after the Jewel monster fight
In the middle of their class time, we see our two favorite heroes currently discussing on their next move to take telepathically.
'So Nanoha, currently we have about 9 Jewel Seeds overall, some that we managed to find after the attack by the big monster fight and we have yet to see anymore Jewel Seeds around, even though such things would bring attention.'
'True Yu but at the very least none of the fights have escalated to the point where anybody is getting seriously hurt or worse killed.'
'I know that it is just I'm worried about the calm right now it worries me that none have been seen in the last week or so.'
'Oh Yu you are just overthinking it, besides I'd be more concerned about today for you, you know?'
"Oh what do you mean by that Nanoha?'
"Oh for! Yu your parents are coming back home today and that means we can't spend as much time together, so we won't be able to train as much!'
'Oh yeah; you're right about that, but wait Nanoha you weren't actively training without me or Knight watching after you were you?' he added in suspiciously
'Um no I haven't Yu.' Nanoha added in nervously which Yu did not buy at all.
'Okay then Nanoha if you aren't doing that then tell me why are you wearing your pajama pants on right now?'
'What! I'm wearing my pajama pants right now.' Nanoha shrieked at such a thought and looked down… only to see she was wearing her skirt and nervously looked up to see Yu glaring at her.
'Ordinarily if you were not so tired you would have rebutted with certainty that you were paying attention but you weren't paying attention at all, and you were dozing off a bit today; why Nanoha do you keep pushing yourself so hard?' Yu asked with concern, frustration, and worry laced into his question which served to made Nanoha to feel guilty about it.
'Because if I don't keep up then I am afraid that someone will get seriously hurt and it would have been my fault, and not only that but I cannot afford to let up and let you take all the burden of the main fighting by yourself.' Nanoha replied sadly to which Yu softened his eyes at knowing full well that Nanoha still has some serious self-esteem issues. Along with the fact that both him and Knight are more adapt to dealing with this kind of lifestyle made her feel insignificant in their achievement in magic and fighting skill; just as he was about to reply it was knight who answered and gave the comfort that she needed, so she can actually rest.
'Lady Nanoha, please do not underestimate how you are right now, it is true that me and Yu have years of experience to fall back on and more thorough understanding of our magic, but you have according to Yuuno progressed very well that he believes that you are a prodigy of sorts in his field of magic. Furthermore please do not compare yourself to me or anyone else but remember this saying "If you compare yourself to someone better than you than you will face disappointment, if you compare yourself to someone lesser than you then you will grow arrogant." Please remember that everyone has their own paces and you have progressed splendidly for someone who just about a month ago entered our world. You may feel useless but you are far from useless. Unlike Yu your spells have more power to it and secondly you have the ability to seal the Jewel Seeds unlike Yu or me. Also did you not think that Yu have doubts about what he can do as well? The bond you two share is a beautiful and wonderful one, you two keep yourselves from pushing each other to hard and you manage to keep each other grounded. So for all our strengths we can only make it this far with you as the same goes for you as well. So please Nanoha do not ever think so lowly of yourself it makes me sad and it upsets Yu as well.' Knight finished so wonderfully that it left the two stunned for a moment before they gather themselves again, with both looking happier now.
Nanoha then spoke out her thoughts telepathically 'Thank you Knight for reminding me what is truly important and Yu I'm sorry for worrying you and I promise to try to cut down on the amount of time I'm training. It won't be so successful but I will try my hardest to relax.'
'Thank you Nanoha and thank you so much Knight of conveying my desire to help her. Besides Nanoha is one of my precious people after all.' Yu said without thinking about only for Nanoha to look surprised at him and surprisingly started blushing. With him curiously think why she would do it, only to realize the implications of his words and started blushing as well and both looked away from each other too embarrassed to look at one another.
Knight found this extremely amusing and thought to himself how adorable it looked and said only one thing. 'Young love, such a precious joy.'
(Nanoha's Home after school ended)
In which we see the two still looking embarrassed at how they care for each other a lot (they are kids after all) in which when they finally reached the door to Nanoha's home only for the door to open widely and a white blur passed Nanoha so fast that she blinked and turned to her side to see Yu being hugged by the woman in white.
"Let go of me, mom I'm fine so no need to hug to death you know!" yes the person that is hugging Yu very hard is Yu's Mom, Mayu.
"No I have not seen you for about two months and now I get to be here with my little dragon and make up for all the time we missed with you!" Mayu quickly replied only for Yu to blush red at his mom's nickname for him with Nanoha snickering to the side a bit.
"Ah Mayu let the poor kid breathe before you accidentally knock him out, and I want to see how my boy is doing not being suffocated to death." Haruto then spoke up from the entrance looking more than a little amused at the scene here.
"All right fine, I let him go but we got to have some family time to spend together and hear on the latest from Momoko and Shiro on what's going on so far." Mayu finally said after reluctantly letting Yu go who took a moment in breathe after dropping to the floor.
"Well let's get on in I am pretty sure that you guys have a lot to tell us especially since according to Momoko found an injured ferret and then decided to take it in you two." Haruto then said to the two kids.
After the two got into the house Yu and Nanoha explained the circumstances of what happened and then after the explanation the two families decided to have and spend some time together only to realize how late it was then the parents send the kids off to bed, only for the mood to grow very serious.
"Okay now that we know our kids are lying to our faces what can you tell about all the strange occurrences that has been happening here in this city?" Mayu asked very seriously
Then Momoko and Shiro nodded and gave the full report and by the time it ended both Mayu and Haruto were on the couch just sighing at how ridiculous it was for all of this to happen.
"You know if it was just some magic monsters and I'd be okay with it, but from you guys tell me not only are these monsters artifact of immense power but they are also alien in nature as well, that brings up the question of who made them? But more importantly why are they needed right now?" Haruto concluded
"We have no idea on the former but from the latter you know very well why they are needed." Shiro said gravely eying Haruto in particular who only nodded acknowledging why people would need them, after all he also had to deal with Foundation X after all.
"So for now we should try to keep damage control to a minimum and keep an eye out for those Foundation X scum along with any Shocker gang member while our kids deal with this." Mayu concluded only to raise a hand to Shiro and Momoko's protests.
"We know full well that they can handle this by themselves and we know that those scum want that kind of power and me and Haruto already dealt with a few teams of them along the way here." To which both of them raised their eyes in alarm. "So we know they are coming here but we need to take care of them so they don't get any of these artifacts and as much as it pains me to say that is all we can do at the moment as we cannot allow them to get into the city." Mayu said seriously only for the two parents to nod reluctantly.
"Hey it's better than having to deal with the monsters, the merchants of death, and Shocker. So we should do all we can to keep this city safe." Haruto spoke up only to get a kiss from Mayu.
"That's Haruto for you looking at the best aspects of what we can do, at times like these I remember why I married you." Mayu spoke up happily only to get smile form Haruto as well.
"Well if that is all we are going to do than lets go to bed I'm tired and we have a very busy patrol to do tomorrow." Shiro said as the two couple went off for bed.
(Next morning)
'Yu, Nanoha, I detect a massive Jewel Seed reaction coming from the block to your right!' Yuuno shouted into their minds as the two were walking only to rush and see a massive tree spurting out branches and breaking roads and some building, the damage would have been greater but the tree seem to put out its own barrier so none of the people were caught in the damage.
"This is kind of ridiculous but this much easier to deal with than a bunch of monster right Nanoha?" to get no response he turned and saw that she looked very mournful.
"If only we got here faster that maybe this damage would not have occurred." Nanoha lamented only to get a smack on the head from Yu just as he finished transforming.
"Nanoha now is not the time for that! You can beat yourself up later, but there is no way we could have predicted this could have happened so we both take responsibility for it now let us destroy it and be done with it." as he held out his armored hand to Nanoha who them took it and transformed to take it on. So then Yu got to hacking and burning all the roots and branches he could while Nanoha set off on finding the Jewel and discovered it in the center to which Yu blew a way through by using a finale strike slash and burning it through the wood to which Nanoha then sealed it away.
"Man that was a rather annoying seed to put down eh Nanoha... Nanoha, you there?" Yu looked and turned back to see Nanoha sadly looking down and remember she was in her self-pitying mode right now.
"Hey Nanoha don't worry about the damage here, we got here as fast as we could furthermore we also manage to prevent anyone from getting hurt so please don't be sad, after all we can only do so much; and the fact we can do this much by ourselves is an achievement." Yu comforted Nanoha who looked and smiled and hugged Yu for comfort, who was taken aback by the sudden action but hugged her back as well with only one thought on both of their mind. 'Warm.'
(Another day has pass by the two, as they set off to find yet another jewel Seed)
Boom! Clash, Shatter, Clack, Clack, Foom!
A nasty cat-like monster being burned and thrown back from Yu who was just moments ago being beaten up, and then Nanoha saved his butt.
"Boy this one is a persistent little bugger isn't he Nanoha?" Ah Yu breathed hard to get calm his nerves.
"Tell me what I don't know Yu." As Nanoha prepared another Photon Lancer spell. Then blasted it into the creature which then begin to give and release the host it was using and then popped out the cat, then she begin to seal it off only for the sealing beam to be blasted off by a yellow beam much to her surprise.
Then she and Yu got struck by the beam and got knocked to the side and both immediately got back up and started searching for the new intruder only for a voice to speak up to them.
"I believe that you should go and leave me the Seed now." A rather soft voice spoke up to them. Only for the duo to look up and see a blond haired girl with an empty expression on her face and skin pale as if not exposed to any sunlight and a body so delicate looking that one can almost call her doll-like face which is belittled by her firm but hard eyes and her black clothing which one would almost call goth-like, and the way her axe- spear seemed pointed at them indicated experience and readiness. In short a rather deadly opponent to face and she too wanted the Jewel Seed.
"Once again, I ask you to step away from the Jewel Seed or there will be violence invoked." The young girl spoke with a hint of steel in her soft voice."
"I'm afraid we cannot do that, you see we have to collect all these Jewel Seeds and make sure nobody misuse them for the sake of the world and… stuff." Yu started off impressively and ended somewhat lamely only to get struck by a sudden thought.
"Wait, how did you know about the Jewel Seeds?" Yu asked suspiciously and when Fate looked down a bit, it confirmed what he was thinking.
"So you were the one who shot down Yuuno's Ship weren't you?" As he then got a sudden flinch form the girl which confirmed his thoughts.
"Once again, leave and let me take the Jewel Seed." The girl said once last time.
"I'm afraid we can't do that." Nanoha spoke up since the first time they met, and the Fate's eyes narrowed in anticipation and so did the two tensed up in anticipation.
"Very well then, let us fight!" Fate shouted before launching two photon lancer spells at the two which cause them to dodge and away from each other, before Fate then face Nanoha, and Yu was about to fight only to get kicked to the sides and see a red haired mature wolf like woman bearing her fists and teeth at him.
"Name's Alf, and I'm going to beat you up!" she all but snarled, with Fate also nodding and introducing herself as well, "My name is Fate and you will lose." Before they got right back into the fight that was starting.
First Alf and Yu charged at each other with their respective sword and claws slashing and clanging at one another, then Alp used her legs to kick the guy in the guts which knocked him back a few yards and jumped and did a downward slice only to be blocked by Yu's sword who then punch her back in the guts to push her and then leg sweep her and slashed at her side only to be blocked by her tough claws. Then she jumped back when she noticed the sword coming for her head and both immediately regained their ground and then charged once more with Yu attempting to use his rings only for Alf to wing her legs at him every time he tries to do so and then resorted to fighting with his sword and blocked and kicked each other around the whole field.
"You know when we first saw you two gathering the Seeds, I really wanted to charge you but my master was rather cautious and decided to collect the other Jewel Seeds and see what you were capable of. Alf finally spoke in the middle of their fight which took Yu by complete surprise and then Alf took the chance to kick him in his sides which gained him some distance.
"At first I was really annoyed that I won't get to fight you anytime soon, but I was also curious as to what you were capable of and to my surprise you were really capable, but I now know that your rings are the core of your spells and as long as I get to you before you switch them, it won't be that much of a problem." Alf commented offhandedly which worried Yu as she would then be aware of most of his arsenal save for one style which he had on reserved just in case they needed additional air support but unnecessary. Due to the fact that Nanoha does most of the flying range support.
'Oh well now's a good time as any and by the looks of it those two are really going at it.' He commented offhand as he saw the two attempting to blast each other. 'But how am I going to use that ring if I can't get past her guard?' as he dodged yet another swing from her claws. Then backed up a bit only for Alf to rush him once more and attempt to side kick him only to fall short as she over extended her reach. 'Chance!' Yu thought eagerly as he then grabbed Alf's legs and flung her far from him over to the side crashing into a tree disorienting her for a bit giving him the chance to pull out his final style ring for now.
Change Now! Fu-Fu, Fu-Fu-Fu-Fu!
Once more his armor changed to reflect that of his new fighting style, now the red is replaced with green and the sword shifted into a crossbow and the wind around Yu became slightly stronger; this was Warlock's Air Gunner Mode!
"So Alf, you ready to face the unending force of the wind!" Yu spoke up suddenly, as Alf regained her conscious only to see a new unidentified form, with Yu already floating in midair.
'Frack! I got careless and let him enter a power that seems to be letting him fly around, furthermore if he does this then most of my attacks are useless.' Alf thought to herself as well as cursing herself for letting her guard down just because she seem to be winning, not only that they have no idea as to what fighting style this one has. But Alf made the obvious assumption that this must be a ranged mode judging from the crossbow that is now equipped to him.
'Nevertheless, I will persevere for Fate!' Alf thought to herself as she charged in once more, only with vastly different results. As she was now blasted around with what appears to be air bullets and every time she attempts to dodge it she get blasted with air bullets from the side, to front to, her legs, and her back; as she desperately attempts to find out how is he doing this.
Only to come to one conclusion, 'air' she thought angrily, as long as he is in that mode he can change the direction of where the bullets hit and the fact they are only visible thanks to the fact that as a familiar she had better sight so she can see the wind currents a bit better than most gave her the chance to at least dodge some of the strikes. 'But now the battlefield is in his advantage.' She thought to herself, and had to admit despite being enemies this kid was rather cunning, adapting to the situation and forcing the field to work in his advantage, and taking advantage of her one opening in that split second.
Yu knew that he was facing a vastly talented foe as she was able to see air currents and dodge some of his shots which most would not have been able to see and knew that while Air Gunner Mode gave him versatility, and the power to fly, it was by far in comparison his weakest mode. 'She also seem pretty durable as well being able to endure a dozen fatal kicks and punches that would leave most people knocked out, but then again she is working with the one able to knock out a ship and a young girl who is like Nanoha in fighting style.' He thought grimily to himself, 'so in other words she is my counterpart.' He concluded as she was a rather melee offensive warrior like him. But right now he had to play this card so he can at least get the drop on her, and now he's in control of the battlefield as the two continue their deadly battle of grace and wind.
Once more he manage to knock her out and decided to bring out the big guns literally by using his Big Ring but rather than use it on himself like his dad has done he put it on the crossbow and the results were a more terrifyingly powerful tornado like shot which mange to send Alf flying into the air for a few moments and then used his Strike Finale Ring to launch four rapidly speeding tornado shots at Alf who was unable to take much more damage and then FOOOOSH! She was blasted into a rock and was knocked out with a bit of blood coming out of her mouth ending the battle in Yu's favor as he switched his attention to the confrontation between Nanoha and Fate and rushed there immediately passing by Alf who he feels a bit bad for leaving like that but his best friend was in danger and that takes all precedence in his mind. But mot before saying a silent sorry in his mind for his opponent.
Nanoha's POV
'Fast and powerful!' Nanoha marveled at the skills of her opponent Fate, as they once again launched Divine Buster spells at each other and then switched to Photon Lancers, and then immediately switched to low level attack spells in hopes of overwhelming her with sheer numbers only to put up some kind of shield barrier similar to what Yu used during their spars, and Nanoha knew for all her effort; Fate was still winning as she has the experience and power to back her skills up, furthermore unlike Fate who just entered the battle recently and was therefore full of energy. Nanoha wasted a lot of energy trying to stop that dang tree and was not so full of energy herself, so right now Fate can easily win in the battle of attrition and she desperately needed to finish the battle.
'You are letting your emotions control you Nanoha.' A sudden voice spoke into her head and immediately recognizes it as Knight's voice. 'Knight are you there where are you is Yu okay?' she asked in rapid fire tangent only to somehow feel his smirk and then FOOOOM a mighty tornado came out of nowhere and blasted Fate to where Alf was, and surely enough by Nanoha's side she saw Yu's newest form a dazzling green and white form with tornado like patterns and a mighty crossbow at his side. For the moment she felt relieved, for now they had a chance of beating her and winning.
Fate's POV
She was sure she thought out the attack as best as she did and countless weeks of observation led to her seeing their flaws, strengths, and talents but apparently that was not enough and now Alf was currently disabled and she was outnumbered two to one. She felt bitter that she could not do much against them, she wanted to continue her fight with the pigtailed girl but now she was in a bad situation, and the objective has already been secured, 'so about five more to go' Fate thought despondently and then decided to cut her losses here and now by activating the Earth Shatter spell now, and did a wonderful job distracting them before she grabbed Alf and turned her back into a dog and left as quickly as she could. 'Next time I won't lose to either of you, and I will get the rest of the Jewel Seeds.' She vowed to herself as she flew off into the night.
Normal POV
"Well that was a certainly quite a thing." Yu said the first thought that came into his mind after the rather stressful battle.
"Really? That's all you can say after we manage to find out who sabotaged Yuuno's transport and finding out not only has she been gathering Jewel Seeds as well but also observing us without our notice and almost mange to beat us if it wasn't for pure luck, and that's all you have to say?" Nanoha asked a bit shocked by Yu's nonchalance
"Well it is true that all those truths are worrying but we manage to win nevertheless and that means we have to improve more and worrying about the what ifs and what they plan to do with the Jewel Seeds is a bit pointless when all we have to do is collect them." Yu pointed out to which Nanoha grudgingly admitted was true.
"But any rate there is something far more important that needs to be said." Yu said very seriously all of a sudden grabbing Nanoha's attention only to be shocked again when he grabbed and hugged her causing the poor girl to blush as red as a tomato.
"I am so glad you weren't hurt badly in that fight, if you had mange to get hurt while I could have done something I would not have forgiven myself, so thank you for being safe; but more importantly thank you for staying with me throughout all these challenges." Yu said rather softly.
"U-u-u-um thank you for thinking so highly of me Yu, but can you let me go now?" Nanoha asked meekly to which he nodded and let her go much to the girl's relief and her longing for that feel. To which Knight at the time can only smile happily and think 'Young Love is truly wonderful.' He mused to himself before going back to sleep for now.
"At any rate lets go back home before the police arrive here and more importantly our parent don't ask where we were for the whole afternoon." Yu spoke up and Nanoha nodded racing to get back home as quickly as they can quietly and unnoticed.
Just as they Got back home they did not notice that they were being followed by a griffon like familiar, and through the eyes we see a young man with wild hair and a camping bag camping in the woods on the skirts of the city, who was eating some kebobs with strangely enough mayo on it, as he found their interaction rather adorable. But thought to himself, 'well this ought to be rather fun and who knows what kind of excitement there might be.' He mused before pulling out a ring with the symbol of a lion on it.
"I will see you soon Yu and then you are going to have to explain to me what have you been doing on your adventures in the city with your girlfriend, after all I am your Godfather." The man said as he finished the last Kebab and packed up and started walking towards the city looking forward to the upcoming excitement.
Meanwhile at a Police Headquarters
A young man was working on some paperwork only to stop as a woman in a business suit came in with reports in her arms.
"Tomari-san there has been reports of a massive disturbance at Uminari City."
"That has what to do with us Kiriko?" the now identified Tomari asked before Kiriko looked around and whispered into his ears
"It has everything to do with us, because the one asking for help is from one of the veteran riders." To which Tomari perked up as she continued her discussion.
"He's asking for us to leave to him and try to keep a look out for any Shocker and Foundation X members since they are trying to keep this secret from the public." She finished after explaining the gist of it to him as Tomari simply crossed his hand in deep thought.
"We will do that for now, which should be easy as Chief Jun is in charge now but let them know if they ever need help me and Mr. Belt will help them out, as riders help out fellow riders." He concluded to which the woman nodded and left.
Back at Nanoha's residence
Nanoha and Yu are currently enjoying a rather relaxing game of Uno as their parents look at them when they think they are not looking, and everybody found the kids to be relaxing a rather good thing considering the foe they manage to see they were facing. But they cannot help but wonder when these relatively peaceful will end. But decided to make the best of it by supporting them in their own way like keeping other more vicious criminals away from them.
End
