Here is the next chapter guys hope you read, like, and follow enjoy! AN also Like I said I am busy with college work so I can only give irregular updates.
'Well this is starting to become a thing right now, isn't that right Knight?' Yu spoke rather annoyed to Knight, who could only snort at his host's irritation at being in the medical office again for getting into a serious fight with an opponent that outclasses him completely.
'Yu, you should be grateful that Nanoha destroyed the barrier when she did, otherwise the warriors that you three faced would have destroyed you. They know they cannot risk exposing themselves to the natives of our world.' That caused Yu to be annoyed, that he would have been destroyed if not for Nanoha's efforts.
'Either way, you cannot push yourself right now, as you are too drained and beaten to do anything. You are still growing and the only reason why you were able to get as far as you did in that fight was because they do not know how to fight people like you. But now they will prepare for it.'
'Got it Knight, I won't push myself too hard right now, even I'm not that stubborn. But that would mean Nanoha needs restraining doesn't she?' To which Knight nodded reluctantly and sweat dropped a bit as well, as he knew how stubborn that girl is at times.
Then he felt something holding him and he looked to his right and much to his surprise, he saw Fate holding him right hand. As her head was on his bed, it looks as though she's been watching over him since he's gotten here.
His eyes softened as he felt some wetness on his bedsheets, now knowing that Fate was crying for his sake. He really hated himself for this, as Fate has been through so much, and he was one of her few emotional crutches here. He berated himself for his recklessness, and promised to not be so reckless next time.
He then looked to his left and saw the door opening waking up Fate from her slumber, while he does care a lot about her; he could not resist the chance to tease her still. "Is my body so comfortable that you have to sleep next to me and with me Fate?"
That caused the poor blonde haired girl to blush bright red and stammered about. It was absolutely adorable in Yu's opinion and from the looks that Chrono, Yuuno, Lindy, Nitoh, and Nanoha had, they appeared to agree as well. "Sorry Fate, I just couldn't resist teasing you."
That caused the poor girl to pout and Yu chuckled before patting her head to cool her down. "At any rate Yu." Lindy suddenly spoke up. "It is great to see you up now, Nanoha and Fate were really worried about you, you know? But from what I heard from the reports it could not be helped considering who you were facing too."
Yu could only nod grimly at that. "Yeah I know my foe this time was beyond me. Even if they don't have as much power as Presea, she had more than enough experience to take me head on and win. Though not without some severe damage as well."
Lindy could only nod in reply to that before her expression brightened up again. "Well regardless of what has happened the fact they are now exposed and the TSAB are well aware of their location here on Earth I believe they are going to try stay silent. Oh and by the way I have a letter for you from the Grand Marshal." As Lindy pulled a letter out from her pocket and handed it to Yu.
While Yu could only look at it in confusion before he shrugged and opened the letter that was meant for him. While Nanoha and Fate for looking at it over his shoulders as well.
Dear Yu.
If you are reading this then I am pleased to inform you that Alicia has been cleared with a clean bill of health and your parents have also finished the paperwork for her as well. I am also happy to announce you have been made a part of our organization the Time Space Administrative Bureau as one of my direct subordinates and that Fate has been cleared of every charges that she has done as well, so she just needs to do some contact work as a mage for our organization. I have also more good news in the fact that I recently got in to contact with some of my old friends back on Earth and I am pleased to say they have finally got to the closing stage of completing the Blood Warrior Water Ring which is included in this letter as well. So now you have half of the rings and a new power to use as well. But Yu, I have gotten a report from Admiral Lindy over who you faced. Please don't be so reckless like that, you, Fate, Chrono, Nanoha, Yuuno, and Alicia are all so young, you have your whole lives ahead of you. So please don't squander the gift of life and always to remember what it is you are fighting for.
From The Grand Marshal
P.S Beware the Knights and try to rest up before trying anything else, you did push yourself really hard in the last battle.
PPS Girls who are sneaking in on the letter's topics I ask of you that you make sure that Yu does not do anything reckless, okay? Bye!
Then Yu shook the letter envelope a bit and out came the second Blood Warrior Ring. He is rather excited to see new powers to use. "Well that went better than I thought don't you think so as well you two?" the two girls nodded and were surprised when Yu just started to get out of his bed.
"Ah Yu you shouldn't do that you were still hurt from the last battle!" Nanoha spoke up with concern laced in her voice. While Fate also nodded in concern for my health as well, sweet girls and best friends; they are the kind of people I want by my side always.
"Don't worry you two I am just getting my muscles to move again, I am not going to practice magic for a while too. Considering I am quite drained of magic energy." He spoke to ease the two girls which worked as he then walked with them as they went to the engineering room. While Lindy and Nitoh were having a meeting about their new foes.
"So let me get this straight." Nitoh said while raising his hands to catch up on what has happened so far. "These four warriors are not just any mages or warriors, but rather the fearsome Wolkenritter that not only serve as an omen of the prelude to come. But they are also servants created by an entry known as the Book of Darkness, a high level Union Device that has the potential to destroy entire worlds. And the last time the TSAB encountered it, it destroyed a whole planet and killed a lot of good officers trying to save their citizens; am I correct?"
Lindy could only nod glumly at what Nitoh said. She did not wish to see the Book of Darkness and the Knights here on this world. She remembered the time they try to contain it and failed. It was not only a complete disaster as many good men and women were lost that day, but she lost her husband as well. Even though she moved on and starting going out with Nitoh, there is still the pain associated with that incident still.
Nitoh, noticing Lindy's sad mood, was able to deduce that she lost someone important in the last encounter with the Book of Darkness. Then moved in to hug her, which surprised her, then she started holding onto him as if he was a lifeline that prevented her from drowning.
Nitoh himself may have been a bit eccentric but his heart was in the right place and he was so kind and understanding to her during the times they spent back on their planet. He was one of the few who could understand failing to save someone important like her. For her it was her husband Clyde; For Nitoh, it was failing to prevent Koyomi's death. Through their experiences together they bonded in ways only people of their caliber could.
But they were still alone and that is what brought them together. But they were also for too realistic to believe they can fill in each other's empty spots. Nitoh would never replace Clyde and Koyomi could never be replaced by Lindy. The only thing they could do was accept it and move on to forge new memories for the future. Because that is how they deceased friends and loved ones would want it that way as well.
Then Lindy finally let go of him but when she did she finally started to smile again. "Sorry about that Nitoh, It is just that I am worried about the kids now. These Knights are no simple warriors to deal with, they have hundreds upon hundreds of combat experience to call upon from. And Yu is already being told to take it easy. I am just worried at what will happen next you know?"
Nitoh could only nod in understanding, those kids were massive reservoirs for magic energy and from what Lindy told him they forcefully absorb the magic cores that mages produce to help fill the pages of the Book of Darkness. Furthermore Nanoha and Fate were beaten soundly by just one of them, while Yu barely managed to force possibly the strongest of the lost with luck, surprise, wit, and trickery. All of which will now be useless as she prepares for his trickeries once more.
"Don't' worry Lindy, we will make it through. After all you have a Veteran Rider by your side and Yu is not one to give them anyway to defeat them easily or not. Not only that but you have your crew with you as well so don't worry too much. We will be able to deal with it."
Nitoh said soothingly to Lindy which did wonders for nerves and calmed her down as they both got back into their seats working on some paperwork for her and Chrono so they can set up their base of operations in the city itself to work better on finding the knights before it get any worse.
The two girls were having their intelligence devices fixed and upgraded to use the same power ups as the knights were using as they realize just how outclass they were. The two intelligence devices agreed to the upgrades and the two girls had to spend an ungodly amount of time going through the nightmarish paperwork that they have to do for their devices, and it went on for a couple of hours. Thus Yu swore to never ever get any of his tools broken ever no matter what happens as he saw the two girls just barely making it through the last bit of paperwork.
But he knew that the girls needed to get some rest so he took them to the cafeteria and got them some cold juice to drink which they both accepted rather happily. Then he decided to ask them about what has transpired seeing as he only heard the bare minimum of the conversation.
"So, what kind of upgrades were you two trying to implement into Raising Heart and Bardiche?" Yu asked the two then Nanoha spoke up. "The upgrades we were using were the Belkin style infused upgrades, basically the reason why those Knights were able to use high level magic without much stress is because they fueled most of their rounds beforehand with magic energy."
Then Fate took over the conversation to give Nanoha a chance to enjoy her juice. "Basically Yu we are adding the Belkin Knight's Powers to our devices so we can pull off more spells and our high level spells without much time and energy to use, as well as making our devices stronger so they can be used as melee weapons in the events we get into close quarters again. Those kind of changes in a device are rather radical and require a lot of paperwork to go through." Then she and Nanoha then blushed a bit "So basically since me and Nanoha are not proficient in close quarter combat we were hoping to ask you or Nitoh to help us improve in those fields so we can survive them."
Well that certainly caught me off guard, I never expected those two to ask for help in melee fighting and my bewildered expression said it all as Nanoha spoke up once more. "Yu, while it is true me and Fate are aerial range mages we need to learn how to defend ourselves of the situation becomes anything like that again. Not only that but you are a jack of all type mage and one of the best melee warriors we know, so can you help us Yu?"
I thought about it for a moment, while it would be beneficial to have the two taught in melee combat, it would probably not get very far. Fate and Nanoha are range type fighters and their entire fighting style revolves around it. It would be almost difficult to include into their combat style. But Nanoha did use the melee spell she made with my help against Fate rather incredibly and Fate is no slouch in that field as well.
In the end they should go to uncle Nitoh for help on this matter, but he will most likely be busy with being a connection to the other people on this world plus acting as a contact to the TSAB as well. Also I highly doubt that those two will be willing to give up on this, they are far too stubborn for their own good like me.
"Very well you two I will help you train in fighting in melee." And seeing their faces brighten and smiling happily made me wince at what I was going to say next. "But I can't do that right now." Which caused their faces to fell a bit. "Look I'm sorry you two it is just that I got out of an intense battle and my magic is drained and in flux so I am going need some time to recover. And that goes the same for you as well Nanoha."
And now the girl looks offended and I better explain before I get exploded by one of her freaking Starlight Breaker spells. "Look Nanoha, you push yourself very hard against the knights to the point of suffering some severe damage if not for your barrier jacket and all. But you then used an S class spell to destroy the barrier while still hurt and not enough energy being used. So for now you should take it easy like I am and focus on recovering got it?"
The girl in question could only look so glum while nodding and that made me feel bad so I pat her shoulders. She seemed surprised but when I gave Nanoha a reassuring smile she seemed to relax a bit. So now we were in the cafeteria just waiting for something to happen I guess.
"So do any of you have any idea on what we could do? Because I kind of forgot on what normal people do these days." My joke caused the other two to laugh till Nanoha started staring at Fate, and I know they were having their silent girl talk and I knew it was bad for me as they smiled very mischievously at me.
"Weell we have some ideas Yu." Nanoha spoke in a tine that was far too sweet for my liking. "And we want you to recover sufficiently with us as well and the Grand Marshal did ask us to help keep an eye on you." Fate spoke in an equally sweet tone, why did you betray me Fate?
""So, we are going to take you back with us and reacquaint ourselves once more and know each other better, and we have to discuss how our relationship is going."" The two girls said simultaneously while blinking their eyelashes at me, and I felt as though someone was laughing at my life right now really hard.
"So I'm assuming your parent's café Nanoha?" I spoke clearly and concisely without hopefully letting out any hint of panic and dread that is currently coursing my body. ""Nope! We are going to stay at Alissa's guestroom for the night!"" The two girls spoke simultaneously once more.
"But won't Alissa not be okay with this?" I desperately asked hoping beyond hoping that she won't agree to this. "No Alissa s pretty much okay with it and leant me the key to it after our little adventure." And like that, my hope vanishes like a candle being snuffed out.
"So come on Yu! We are going to tell each other embarrassing secrets and get closer to one another!" As then both Fate and Nanoha dragged me to the teleporter while the other employees on the ship would only smirk and wave at me in goodbye. "That boy is going to die a happy man or just die." While the other guys just nodded and smirked at my situation right now.
'Curse you Enforcer and mages! I will have my revenge on you!' I thought angrily at them as I was being dragged away from them and into the teleporter. Then I remember the training I was going to give those two girls, then I remembered the pain Nanoha put me through in that S class spell training of hers. Then my panicked face turns into a smirk of pure evil. At that time Nanoha and Fate felt a strong chill going down their back as if they forgot something rather important.
Signum was breathing heavily as Shamal set about fixing her up to the best of her abilities and finally sighed in relief as she is now fixed up as best as she could be before she moved onto Vita. She could only sigh as she thought back to that battle with the three young kids.
It was an absolute disaster for her group, not only could they not get any pages for the Book of Darkness. They were also discovered by the TSAB, which means they will be investigating this world closely now and sent their elite units after them. Which also means they have to be careful in how they approach certain targets for now.
At first when she and the rest of the knights were summoned to this world, they thought there was nothing special about it and that they would just lose another master. But then came their surprise when it turns out this place has monsters that can provide a couple of pages for them to absorb into the Book of Darkness for them.
But according to Hayate there were multiple urban legends of the warriors known as Kamen Riders, and Signum hearing the kind of skills they possess to defeat these monster which forced even them to get serious, decided to research all they can about them.
The end results were amazing for them, everything that these Kamen Riders do made Signum proud as a Knight to see that these people fight to protect others no matter what happens to them at the end of the day. They even had the honor of seeing of the Riders in action as well.
The Rider known as Blade made Signum's blood boil in excitement as she wished to face him in a duel of skilled swordsmanship after seeing the way he defeated those monsters so easily with nothing but his sword skills.
But pushing those thoughts aside, Signum was frustrated that they got themselves caught so early on and now have to go back to monster hunting again otherwise if they go after another mage the TSAB will be on their heels. Not only that but they would also most likely be out for blood as the last encounter cost them a good deal of men and the destruction of an entire planet.
She also kept notes on the opponents they were facing as well. It seems they were dealing with two prodigy Mid-Childa style mages, and one abnormal Ring wielding Mage as well. Those two girls were very skilled and talented, but even though they managed to defeat them once, that was most likely due to having the superior advantage which they won't have next time when they fight again.
But that boy is the one who caught her attention the most. He wield no magic like any other magic style she has ever seen, and not only that he called himself a Kamen Rider as well. While Signum may not have been on this world very long, from what she has seen of Blade is any indications of how they are truly like at times.
Then the boy is not to be underestimated at all. He is among the select few who is able to match her blow for blow. 'Warlock, was his name.' Signum thought as she they returned home with Hayate. 'The potential of that boy is immense, furthermore there is more to him than meets the eyes.'
She would be lying to herself if she said she did not wish to fight him once more. His skills were above anything and she was also rather interested to see how far Warlock could go in matching her. Will he be a serious threat to them? Will he be able match her in fighting prowess? Will he get stronger than her and be able to beat her and her Knights? But most of all is this what he has to show to us? Or does he still have more skills and magic to use against us still?
She shook her head of that thought. That boy is still a child so he should not be able to get strong that fast. Though she is wary of him because he's a Kamen Rider. From what the urban legends say about them and from what they have managed to gather about them, is that Riders are never to be underestimated no matter what happens.
So she was naturally conflicted about fighting a Kamen Rider, and a promising one as well if what he displayed to be correct. She does not like killing at all, and Hayate would no doubt be sad if she killed one of the many protectors of this world as well. Considering she holds a great deal of respect for each and every one of the Kamen Riders that has appeared here.
While Blade holds her respect for being skilled in the art of sword. Kuuga is the one that holds the greatest amount of respect from her and the Knights. From what they were able to observe about this Rider is that no matter what, he will fight to protect the smiles of everyone in the world. He may have been a normal human with an admittedly powerful device of sorts. But his dedication and kindness were that of a true knight, and there are very few people like that in the universe.
Although everyone else in the knights have their own favorites. Shamal liked OOO the most due to his easy going nature and the fact that she is reminded of herself every time he gets clumsy only to get right back up. Zafira respected Hibiki due to his intense training from what he's seen and that everything he's done due to training a lot. While Vita liked Den-o the best due to the fact that she finds him absolutely hilarious to watch, especially with his weird mood shifts at times. Hayate however liked the one known as Wizard the most due to the fact that he saves people from falling into despair and he is always so uplifiting.
Now that she thought about it, wasn't that Rider Warlock similar to Wizard in terms of powers and skills of sorts? It could be possible to her, for all she knew that Wizard guy could have had a child and that child inherited some parts of his father's power. Well it doesn't matter right now in their current situation as the group finally got back to their place and Hayate was waiting for them with a smile on her face. She so desperately wish that these days last a bit longer here.
Before the three kids could ever get to Alissa's place to spend the time, Nitoh already called Nanoha's parents to pick them up, which disappointed the girls a bit while Yu was left completely and utterly relieved at the mercy he has been given.
So when they were picked up they were then driven to Nanoha's family café to rest for a bit while waiting for the rest of the gang to show up at their place. First to come was Yuuno and Chrono, followed by Lindy and Nitoh as the group just interacted for a bit while Alissa and Suzuka were the last to show up at the café.
Soon the two girls joined Nanoha, Yu, and Fate in their discussion about recent events, while the two girls were watching Yu and Nanoha in fear as they remember their rage about their love life and hope they do not mention it a lot. Yuuno and Chrono found this to be hilarious as they hid their smiles under their hands and arms.
"I still cannot believe that Lindy was able to buy a house, set up a command center, and convinced my uncle to stay with her for now. Nitoh is generally a free spirit and he has no such desires to be tied down, guess he's taking this relationship seriously to do so. I am still finding myself in shock of how fast and effectively Lindy is moving around this place here."
When Yu finished what he said, the other girls could not help but nod in agreement, despite already having the identity and resources prepped by Kougami Foundation and Sector Zero, she is able to understand how work and prepare herself for it, though that could also be Nitoh's work as well, seeing as he has a good understanding of how things work, he would not be surprised if they talk about this during one of their dates or assignments as well.
"What I am still having trouble believing is that Lindy and Nitoh also agreed to be Alicia and fate's guardians during this time period as well. Guess they really care about you two to do something like this right Fate?" Alissa and Suzuka asked Fate, who could only shyly nod her head in agreement. Despite Fate loosening up a bit over the months, she is still very shy around people that were not Alicia, Yu, and Nanoha.
"What I am surprised the most about is that Lindy already managed to register Fate at our school already, so I guess I will be seeing you more often right Fate?" Nanoha spoke up as Fate nodded her head in reply as well.
"So who is going to be the guardians of Fate and Alicia then?" Alissa asked a very good question.
"Well since I am on my watch time period I will not have to choose who I wish to be my guardians. And not only that is done, I will be able to pick who I wish to have watching over me. Alicia is kind of fascinated about staying with either one of them as well, but Haruto and Mayu still want her to be in perfect health and update her on the current world as well."
"And we all know who Fate will want to completely stay with right Suzuka?" Alissa said smirking as Fate turned as red as a tomato.
"Well for time being Yu will also be staying with me, Lindy, and Nitoh as I said earlier about Yu's parents staying over to help with Alicia as well. So Lindy and Nitoh have decided to take in Yu for the time being right now." Fate said with increasing shyness as she tried to make herself smaller in front of everyone. Then Yu and Nanoha grabbed her hands to calm her down which she sent grateful looks to them, not that this was lost on either Suzuka or Alissa.
"That and the fact that I have been staying with Fate till she sleeps or decides to sleep with me almost every night or so." Yu commented offhandedly before realizing what he said before him and Fate turned bright red. "IGNORE THAT PLEASE THAT WAS NOT ME WHO WAS SAYING IT, IT WAS MY TROLLING PHANTOM KNIGHT WHO SAID THIS!"
But unfortunately for Yu to Suzuka and Alissa, it was too little and too late to take any of that back. "Oh Suzuka it seems the newcomer and cute foreigner Fate got even further than our childhood friend Nanoha has ever gotten so far." Alissa said snickering while Nanoha took the time to look aghast and somewhat hurt and jealous of her two TSAB affiliated friends.
"It is not like that at all you two!" Fate said screaming and glaring at the two which was ruined by the fact she still looks like a steaming teapot right now. "It is just after the Jewel Seed incident me and Alicia were having nightmares over what has happened, and not only that for Alicia just finding all of this out was hard for her to accept. So we both sleep close to him, he makes us feel safe, warm, protected, comfortable, and hopeful that no matter what happens the dawn will come."
Fate then trailed off as Nanoha and Yu still held her hands, though Nanoha still looks jealous a bit, that caused the other girls to smile a bit and snicker a bit as well. Then; to the side Momoko and Lindy who were overhearing the conversation a bit had their own opinions on it. Momoko just smiled as these kids got along while Lindy just sighed and closed her eyes a bit.
"You know if the kids were older a bit and Fate has complete understanding of what she said that would be funny. However hearing that come out of a prepubescent kid is rather disturbing in my opinion."
Momoko also found it to be true as well. "Maybe but it is still pretty funny in my opinion nevertheless."
Then that was ruined as Nanoha declared war on fate. "I will not let you win Yu's affections so easily nor will I allow to have any more of his firsts!" the silence that was left was amazing so to say. Then they heard of a sword being unsheathed as well.
"I am not going to hand over my precious daughter to you no matter who you are punk!" then everyone for some reason or another just busted out laughing at what has happened. With Nanoha and her father being red over what has happened so far.
"So then I guess the childhood friend does have a chance of winning Yu's heart after all." Alissa spoke with humor in her voice with Suzuka nodding in reply. But in that moment they messed as they forgot Yu and Nanoha's rage over their love life being discussed.
"Alissa." "Suzuka." The respective owners of those names stopped giggling as they just remembered what happens to those who speak of their love lives. Then they slowly turned around to see not only Yu and Nanoha angry but Fate joining them as well. """Speaking about the love lives is absolutely forbidden around here!"""
Then they saw an avatar of a giant knight wielding a scary looking sword and two women clad in yellow and pink energy glaring at them. This caused the two girls to yelp and hid under the table, while everyone else backed away in complete fear.
For everyone involved this was a nightmarish experience, but for the three it was just a Saturday night knocking off someone's high stool.
