Magischer Kriegers Chapter Nine

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 first, Nanoha did not know how to be any more surprised than she already is right now. But it seems her luck demanded that she is to be incredibly surprised, in one day no less! First she gets to duel Fate, but that got interrupted by the TSAB and she escaped to fight another day, assisted by Yu no less. Second she saw Yu stand his ground and managed to get out of any serious trouble and explain some things of interest to Admiral Lindy and got her to let him go. Thirdly, she then had to tell her parents everything that has happened only to find out that they and Yu's parents already knew and were working behind the scenes to keep all the trouble hidden away and keep out any dangerous criminals that wanted the Jewel Seeds for their own malicious purposes.

At this rate the poor girl was already overwhelmed by everything that was happening, only to get even more overwhelmed when it turns out that their parents knew each other before and worked on several cases before with her parents supporting Yu's parents. Well at the very least Yu was taking it much better than her and he was only very surprised but otherwise calm; as their parents now finished their ranting about the dangers they were facing and what they should have done. The lecturing would have normally gone on longer but since they managed to get Nitoh involved they decided to tone it down a bit, but still very scary and once they were done both of them were kind of paled and then slowly turned to each other.

"Nanoha?" Yu asked somewhat very nervously "Yes Yu?" Nanoha replied equally nervously, "Your parents are quite scary at times. To which Nanoha replied, "So are yours, guess we both have scary parents huh?" to which both Yu and Nanoha nodded in agreement thankful that the lecture was over but left a bit high strung. Now they have to get ready for the hardest part of their day.

Apparently Kougami decided to drop in to visit the kids and see what is there to offer in terms of seeing wonderful desire and to drop in something for Yu. When Nanoha was curious as to who he was, was in for a shock when it turns out that Kougami was the reason why they had their café in the first place along with wonderful medical coverage that helped her father out a lot. Along with various other circumstances related to making her general life better; she was absolutely nervous at the prospect of meeting the one who helped her family so much.

He wasn't at all what Nanoha thought him to be, the man was a walking ball of weirdness that seem to outmatch Nitoh's obsession with Mayo on every piece of food he eats and Yu's obsession with sprinkled doughnuts. He was dressed in a purple suit with emerald green outfit and a red tie that all clash horribly with each other and the first thing he done when they met him was to shout HAPPPY BIRTHDAY! Then he pulls a cake out of nowhere (Still very good cake though in her opinion) then proclaims this the birth of the meeting of one of the newest Rider with the Magical Girl.

Then he decided to get serious a bit now. "When I heard the reports of powerful artifacts such as these Jewel Seeds being powered by desire I had to know more about it!" He spoke very flamboyantly.

"Um Mr. Kougami, while I know of your obsession with birthdays and desire is it really that important?" she didn't think it was considering the amount of damage they can do.

"Of Course it's important Nanoha! You think that this world ran on people being nice and all? NONSENSE! The whole world is being run and filled by people's desire to see thing happening. All the advancements, all of our dreams, all of our wishes, and so on: are the results of our desire to accomplish them! He spoke with insane look in his eyes as he said it.

But even so Nanoha can't really deny that thought, people have their own dreams and wishes that they want to achieve, and they are fueled by that desire to accomplish it. Some people take it too far and do whatever they can to take it, while other work on it their entire lives to accomplish their goals, and there are some people who pass their dreams and wishes on to the next generation.

Then Yu asked the important question that was on my mind. "So you're saying that you are here because you want the Jewel Seeds for yourself?" he said with a hint of worry that I share with him as well.

Then to both our surprise he just started laughing as if Yu told him an amazing joke that he had to bellow all his laughs out. "Me? With the Jewel Seeds Yu? Why that is absolutely preposterous! I am here because I want to see the whereabouts of what these artifacts can do Yu, I want to know more will the world be saved by desire once more or will it be destroyed by it?"

Which left both of us very uncomfortable with the idea of world destruction, neither of wants it of course. It just reminds us if we or the TSAB fail here then that would happen. Then Kougami did a complete 180 as he then faced Yu, who looked rather surprise, with a massive grin on his face.

"Now the other reason why I am here is because I have something important to deliver to you Soma Yu." Which made him look worried but also very curious as he then pulled out a small box? Which he then opened and shed a brilliant Blood red ring with the mark of a knight and immediately I knew it was the ring that should allowed Yu to access his Blood Warrior mode.

"W-w-w-where did you get this?" Yu asked a bit in awe and curiosity as he was about to reach it, I snatched it out before he could. I knew his thought process and I know very well that he wishes to do more, but I don't want Yu hurting himself for me! as I thought back to the conversation with Knight and the dangers of using the Blood Warrior mode for Yu.

Then he looked surprise and betrayed at me which sting a bit, "Why did you take it from me Nanoha? With that ring I could fight on par with you and Fate so why?" he asked curiously knowing full well that I wouldn't do something as impulsive as this. While Kougami just looks at us curiously wondering as to how this confrontation will turn out.

"Because Knight said that if you use it you will hurt yourself remember Yu?" To which Yu remembered and nodded. "Even if you are not as strong as I am in terms of magic power that is still no reason for you to just put yourself at risk!" Just as he was about to argue back she look at him and notice he had a surprised look in his face as she was pleading with him. "Please Yu don't use this power, I don't want to see my best friend getting hurt just so you can catch up with me."

Yu looked uncomfortable for a bit, but then look as though he ate some of Nitoh's food and swallowed it, as he then look back up to me and nodded. "Very well Nanoha. I- I won't use the power." Which made me smiled a bit. But it dimmed a bit when she heard him whisper. "But that does not take away the feelings of powerlessness, nor my urge to help you in any way possible." He looked truly upset.

With that my heart yearned to reach out to him. I know full well that Yu really wanted to do more but the fact is he is simply not strong enough to do so. Sure he can take on Jewel Seed monsters and Alf. But against another mage of me and Fate's level it is simply not possible anymore. The fact is Yu is weaker than me and does not have many support spells like Yuuno does, so he can only not get in the way when Fate and I fight.

"Heh you must not have much faith in your friend and ally do you Nanoha? Quickly turning to where Kougami was, I became quickly offended when he raised his arm to silence me. Then he gave me a serious and solemn look on his face that made me quit whatever I was planning on saying.

"A long time ago before you were and Yu were born, there was a group called Shocker." Which confused us both but we decided to hear him out, if the look Yu was giving me was anything to go by. "They were a terrorist group whose desire was to reign supreme over the world and kidnapped many people and committed many sins that no one would have been sad to see them go. Then one day they kidnapped a man by the name of Takashi Hongo, he was genius man and athlete and for that purpose Shocker wanted to use him as a brainwashed slave."

Taking in the looks of horror both of us had as he continued. "Takashi managed to get away and he knew that if Shocker was to continue their goal they would have enslaved everyone. Knowing full well of that Takashi set out and became the first Kamen Rider and fought for the freedom of humanity." Which amazed and awed us both, but I still don't get what he was trying to say. "Takashi despite being all the odds against him continued his war against Shocker and there he met another one who would suffer his fate as well but he too escaped and became another Rider like Takashi as well. So the two became known as the Double Riders and took on many villains and monsters that sometimes people wonder why they fight for them." Then he developed a strong and respectful gleam in his eyes, as I figure this is what he want us to hear.

"One FBI agent who was working with said "'won't you believe in him? Even if there is no God or no Buddha, there's still Kamen Rider."' As he concluded his talk he looked back to me and I know why he was talking about it. He wants me to believe in Yu, he wants me to believe in his potential as well. "Nanoha it is true that Yu may be weaker than you right now but even so. You should believe in him, believe in his desire to become stronger. Believe in the unlimited possibilities that Yu's desire possess; while for now he won't be using it, I know he will need that ring someday." As he then looked at me with pleading eyes as he made a tough request of me. "So Nanoha won't you believe in him? The powers of a Rider and what Yu could do?" as he finished his request he then turn to the door and nodded to the both of us and left. It was quiet, but it was a nice and peaceful quiet that we enjoy. 'Won't you believe in him?' those words continue to rattle inside my mind, but surprisingly I can't help but believe in that, believe in Yu.

Well that went as well as I suspected, at the very least Nanoha wasn't to put out by Kougami at the very least. But now this is getting irritating, now that the TSAB showed they are going to take control of the entire investigation. Then Kougami showed up with the ring that could help me out but Nanoha took the ring.

While I do understand where she's coming from it still hurt to know that she didn't believe in me. Then Kougami stepped and all but begged her to believe in me; I really don't know how to feel about that in all honesty. Considering the kind of guy he is, he will have some ridiculous things to discuss with Admiral Lindy when they meet.

Then all of a sudden Nanoha looked up and faced me, knowing her eyes she probably has a question that she wants me to answer. "Hey Yu I have a question if you don't mind me asking." Like that I am correct, as I nodded to her waiting for her question; she too a breath before asking me. "Why do you want to become a Kamen Rider? I mean I know why you want to but is there any other reason why?"

It is a bit weird but I can understand I guess, she has always been one trying to find out her own path in life, and was probably curious as to how I choose to be a Rider. "Okay Nanoha, as you very well know both my parents are Riders yes?" to which she nodded in confirmation.

"It all started during one of my family trips and all, and we were having a rather pleasant day. But then dopants came out and started attacking people and terrorizing them." Taking in the look of horror she had before he continued. "While my parents were able to transform and fight, there were still some people who did not make it through." I spoke with a haunted look now on my face."I saw the terror, the fear, the pain, and the agony that they delivered, and all I could do was do nothing to help them. It was then one of the dopants charged at me and took me hostage. It was the most terrifying moment in my life, but my father stepped and rescued me then."

Now with a worshipful look in his face. "I wanted to be strong like my parents, and I have the power of a Phantom within me as well. I could have walked away, I could have said I wanted nothing to do with It." then I look at her with steel in my voice. "But I know that as long as there people willing to do evil then there will be others who will be just as terrified as I was during that time, so I desired to become a Rider. If not to protect people, then at the very lest it is to prevent others from feeling the terror I felt during that time."

To which Nanoha looked amazed at my dream and conviction. "I want to be a Kamen Rider so I can protect others and I have the power to do so. So why should I walk away from this situation when I was born into it?" I concluded and I think just maybe Nanoha understands me better now as to why I try hard to catch up to her.

"Even so Yu that doesn't mean that you should take the opportunity to become stronger without thinking." Nanoha admonished my as I nodded guilty. "Even so, I now know why you try hard to catch up to me Yu and for that I am very grateful." which surprised me a bit as I looked at her and for some reason she was smiling. "I know you tried very hard to catch up to me so you wouldn't feel like a burden. But how can you put yourself down espicially since it was you who gave me my initial training and sparring practices?"

Taking my silence she continued to go on. "I would not have made it this far without you Yu, you are strong in your own way and even when we still spar despite me being stronger you still win a third of the time so Yu don't look down on yourself please." she asked with those strong pleading eyes that I can never seem to resist. then rather reluctantly I nodded then she smiled and then she left to grab some food to eat. 'sigh I hate how I fall for her kind and pleading look every time." i thought to myself then all of a sudden Knight decided to talk to me much to my annoyance.

'Yes and you enjoy looking at her every time indeed my host who's now starting to develop love and crushes on two different girls." he spoke very seriously and filled with mirth at me which frustrates me and cause me to blush a bit. 'I do not love Nanoha or Fate!' I shouted mentally back at him, them all of a sudden I noticed he has a very scary and laughing face even though I can't see but feel it. 'Whoever said it was Nanoha or Fate host? I think you just admitted you like them! oh this is to precious.' as he left to laugh at me and the situation, all I could do was sigh and think how much I hated Knight at times.

"Well that was a rather thought provoking story we learned didn't we Chrono?" Lindy said as Chrono made his way into her office as she was compiling a report in everything they learned from the non-administered planet locals. she also made a reminder and note to have the fools in charge of scanning this planet look over on how could they possibly miss any of this. especially since she got a report from the Galactic Police Union confirming the reports about dangerous threats approaching Earth multiple times.

The Galactic Police Union is a active police force that deals with many of the criminals in space and other colonies, but due to the amount of criminals they deal with practically everyday, they have been overworked till the TSAB was founded. The TSAB was supposedly founded over eighty years ago by two powerful people and help from the Union. the two organizations made an agreement to help each other out and be allies; and on occasions unite to fight extraordinary threats beyond any of their capabilities. Since their founding the Union agreed to allow them to handle all the mage and science related cases as they have a better understanding of how it works while the Union deals with other threats.

"Indeed Admiral, who would have thought that the Union had a presence here at some point and that there are many mysteries that our scientist and researchers would drool to look at." she had to admit that as well, there seems to be so many interesting subjects that would be of great interest to the Bureau. such as their transforming gear made by ZECT, Yggdrasill Corporation, Kougami Foundations, and Smart Brain, which no longer exist as many of the Board of Directors were corrupt and reforged into Future Brains. there is also the fact that they somehow have magic and technology that can travel through time and other realities. if they can get their hands on the travel tech it would make their timing a lot better.

In other words Earth has a lot of potential treasures and other mysteries that they should try very hard to get their hands on.

"But we can discuss and worry about that later Admiral, right now we need to discuss the current case that is going on here and how to deal with the criminal Fate and the Jewel Seeds." Chrono spoke in his no nonsense voice, and Lindy can understand that this rather serious right now.

"Indeed Chrono, but for now we have no lead on where the next Jewel Seed might appear nor do we have any idea where Fate is, Right now, our technicians are trying to pinpoint where she might be, but it would take some time to do so." Which Chrono nodded in response, while it is true they have no clue on where she is; that doesn't mean they could use the help of the local magic practitioners here.

"Say Chrono." which caused the boy to turn and face her, "What do you say we call upon the power of the local mages here to assist us in closing the case on the Jewel Seeds?" That thought caused his eyes to widen and shake his furiously in response. "Oh? why do say no to the idea of asking and using their help?"

"With all due respect Admiral while it is true they are skilled in combat the girl morose, but this is the work for the TSAB and they lack the experience needed to deal with this. Not only that but I believe that the boy Yu will prove to only be a obstacle and drag us down. he is impulsive, rude, and weak compared to us." Chrono spoke rather stiffly and rudely before reeling a bit from his mother's angry expression.

"Chrono it is true that Yu may be all this but he has gotten further on this case than the TSAB has, not only that he has identified a possible Mastermind behind it and you are being very rude to him. What did he do to deserve your ire besides that first time incident and keep in mind he is only nine years old." I stated firmly, I just couldn't let him badmouth the kid like that. In addition to what I said I believe that him and Nanoha will be able to work and solve this case in the best possible way yet.

"My apologies Admiral I will admit that was rather juvenile and immature of me. But you cannot deny the fact that Yu and Nanoha are connected strongly to the criminal Fate, may lead to them trying to free Fate like the first encounter like Yu did." Chrono spoke, and Lindy knew he had a point about that, but like the one before she had her own counter as well.

"And you forgot that Fate's barrier jacket was disable and overpowered your shot, and if Yu did not block you would have seriously crippled her and blasted her into some of the trees that were around potentially crippling her for life or worse killed her." She spoke back and was a bit happy to see her son's face paled a bit and winced heavily at the idea of accidentally killing someone. Chrono for all his maturity was not someone who was used to violence and seeing her dead or mortally wounded because him. would have made him feel absolutely horrible about himself and very guilty.

"Still the fact that there locals might be used to our advantage here. After all they know the area better here and the three adult magic users we met seem rather powerful. ones that we could have as reinforcement to help subdue the mastermind here." Lindy told Chrono, and he seems to accept that idea at the very least. Now we just have to wait till the next Jewel Seed activate itself and send the TSAB agents down once Fate is weakened by the battle and take her into custody. so hopefully it will go without major troubles.

"Nanoha, Yu where have you two been!" Alissa shouted at us where we got out of the house and saw our other friends there and it looks like Suzuka and Alissa looked very worried and frustrated with us. "You guys like disappear for like the whole weekend and now you show up at Yu's house doing what!" Alissa ranted onto us for a couple of minutes before letting on.

Me and Nanoha can only laugh nervously and accept the rant that she threw at the both of us, in hindsight it would have been suspicious that we disappear like that after all. then once she finished the rant Suzuka walked up to her and whispered something into her ears. By the looks of it, it might have been something very important that it got her eyebrows to raise up before she asked her one last question.

"You sure about it Suzuka?" the purple haired girl nodded then both took a deep breath and looked at the both of us which surprised us both. then they said the words that left my jaw hanging wide open. "We know about magic and the hidden world you two." Suzuka spoke up. at this point my fingers were slowly trembling and pointed at her. "H-h-h-how long have you two known?"

To which both of them snorted then Alissa spoke up. "I known for a long time considering my family is one of Kougami Foundation's many investors and friends and Suzuka knows since her parent worked for them as well and they were well aware of the Cell Medal Incident that happened years back as they were some of the many people developing support tech for the current Medal King 000s at the time."

Then they brought out the Canroids as proof which still shocked me and Nanoha to no end as they continue on. "We were told that you were part of it as well Yu considering your parents are well known after all as Kamen Riders. but we figured you want to be in the normal life for now. then after I Alissa stopped bullying me." Earning a pout from said girl. "My parents met up and they knew each other from the incident and we kept a rather strong friendship since then."

"I see but then that means you are aware of the fact that something going on in this city?" to which the two girls nodded. '"Then do you want to know how it all begun and what has happened since?" to which the two looked at each other and nodded in agreement. "Okay remember the day we found the ferret? It all led back to him-" as I then told the story of everything that has happened and Nanoha who recovered from the shock also decided to join in on the story telling as well.

For the most part they seemed surprised but naturally when we told them about the pool incident they blushed to a massive tomato, while looking at me and called me a pervert for dealing with their underwear and I'll admit that hurt my pride a lot. So I retorted that it was Nanoha who dealt with their bodies causing her to stop giggling at me and look at me with betrayal in her eyes. Then the two shifted their looks from me to Nanoha and called her a big pervert which was hilarious as well.

Then when we finished up the story with how Fate got away and our parent finding out and dealing with Kougami before we got here; they looked at me and Nanoha in silence. Till Alissa walked up and smacked me on the head. "Only you would have the bad luck of getting in the way of the police and letting a criminal get away due to gut feelings!" she shouted at me making me somewhat nervous at her and Suzuka nodded in agreement as well.

"hey I'm not the only one that wants to help out Fate, Nanoha also wanted to help her out as well. Not only that we think she is being manipulated." To which Nanoha nodded as well causing the other two to sigh at us while Alissa went one step further and palmed her face. Then I decided to change the topic at hand here.

"At any rate since all of our families were involved in someway shape or form in the case we are all eating at the Cafe to deal with all the remaining issues and to get to know each better there. So you two interested in seeing humans from outer space?" To which both stopped whatever action they are doing and looked and nodded in excitement and acceptance. Then I thought to myself, 'well this is going to be an interesting dinner to attend to.

'Well this something that I can never expect to happen in my life, but look where we are now.' Shiro thought to himself as he and Momoko are playing host to not only their daughter's friend's families and they are also playing host to the people from outer space as well. Sometimes if he didn't know any better he would have thought he was living in a anime world or was dreaming really exotically. Well at the very least everyone seems to be enjoying themselves except for Chrono and Yu, they seem to glare at each other from time to time until his son put his foot firmly down on it. Telling that they can get over whatever issue they have after dinner.

"So yes as you all know the TSAB will be taking over this case and deal with the Jewel Seeds from here on out, but we would not say no to some help and back-up on this planet, it would take a while for the next batch of reinforcement to arrive and we do not know the area as well you guys do; so will you help us in ending this case?" Lindy informed and asked of the adult group and none of them said no. After all why would we say no to defending our home?

"Very well then is there anything that you want to bring up that might prove important in our current case?" Lindy asked and then Haruto spoke up, "there has been various criminal groups trying to get into the city to discover the Jewel Seeds we would appreciate if it is possible to divert any of your mages to help deal with them." which Lindy nodded in agreement as Haruto spoke again. "Thanks we will be sure to upate your mages on all the enemies they may face while guarding the city."

"Ah yes there is also one other thing we need to take care of." As Lindy pointed to the boy that was Yuuno, he still had trouble wrapping his mind around that idea. Now he is just grateful that Yu was the one to wash him instead of his older daughter and preventing him from looking at any important and scared bits. "Yuuno I know that you have been here for a while but now I would like to know what would you like to do from here on out?" Lindy asked rather kindly

As Yuuno try to gather up his courage he spoke firmly "I have been here since day one for all the Jewel Seed incidents. I would like to stay here and see the investigation to the end please." To which Lindy nodded in acceptance. "Well it is rather lucky then that we have room for you and the kids to join up on the ship as well, knowing those two they want to see it to the end as well right?" to which He nodded.

"Good then it is settled then." But then the boy that Yu doesn't seem to get along with stood up and protested the decisions but Lindy and the other adults vouched for Yu and Nanoha to not cause much trouble which silence him. But honestly I think he was silenced after seeing that glare that Lindy has preventing him from making any noises.

Well at the very least the incidents will no longer be any issue anymore and hopefully we can end this without much trouble. Then Shiro thought back to what Yu and Nanoha said to Nitoh about what the girl Fate possibly has been though. In all honesty he would much prefer the idea that the girl was doing this of her own free will, it would bring less nightmare about how she was tortured and coerced into doing this. But knowing their luck it is nothing at all pleasant, Well they can deal with it later then.
